Glen Campbell - Country Classics (1997) by Glen Campbell (보컬) on maniadb.com

Well honey I know I've said it many times before I said I'd never say it again
I guess I shouldn't say anything at all since you're supposed to belong to him
But I just can't let you go but I'm tellin' you just how much I love you
So that is why I'm gonna say it one more time
Honey come back I just can't stand each lonely day's a little bit longer
And the last time I held you seems like a hundred years ago
Back to his arms and never know the joy of love that used to taste like
Honey come back where you belong to only me

Well I guess that's about all I gotta say
So I'm just gonna pack my bags and I'm gonna walk
I know those bright lights're callin' you honey big fine cars and fancy clothes
But if you ever want someone to just love you and some day you just may
Just give me a call you know where I am and here's what I'll say
Honey come back...
Honey come back where you belong to only me
Honey come back where you belong to only me

- By The Time I Get To Phoenix -


By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin'
On her door

She'll laugh when she reads the part
That says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl
So many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque
She'll be working
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch
And give me a call

But she'll just hear that phone
Keep on ringin'
Off the wall that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out loud

And she'll cry just to think
I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I try to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go

About five o'clock in the late afternoon sun's gettin' drowsy above me
Tonight I walk neath the sparkling moon with the girl who is happy to love me
She's my sweet country girl and she's all that I need
The whole world wears the smile when she's talking
Sweet country girl it's not hard to believe
Pretty flowers bloom wherever she's been walking uh-huh

Shadows erase in the last light of day night time is startin' to settle
Red colored stone Lord is leading my way to her cottage way down in the meadow
She's my sweet country girl...

Green trees and golden hay and sunshine here every day
Big cities far behind me well it's love with her to think I'm a gonna stay
About five o'clock in the late afternoon...
She's my sweet country girl yes she is
She's my sweet country girl and I love her she's my sweet country girl

It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
That keeps you in the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard
My beard a rustling, cold towel, and
A dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're waiting from the backroads
By the rivers of my memories
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way
To believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way
And I'd leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give
Never thinkin' of myself

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way
To believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I looked to find a reason to belie-ie-ieve
In you...

One last time let me love you one last time
All I need is one more chance to say goodbye
One last kiss then I swer I'll let you go baby I need you I've got to see you
One more night stay with me till tomorrow
Just tonight let's pretend that tomorrow will never come (baby I need you)
One last time loving you before the end I can't face never seeing you again
One last look in your eyes to know we're through baby I need you I've got to see you
One more night stay with me till tomorrow
Just tonight let's pretend that tomorrow will never come
Baby I need you (one last time) I've got to see you (one last time)
Baby I need you (one last time) baby I need you (one last time)
Baby I want you (one last time) baby I want you (one last time)
Baby I want you (one last time) baby I want you (one last time)

People see us everywhere
They think you really care
But myself I can't deceive
I know it's only make believe

My one and only prayer
Is that some day you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true
My one and only you

No one will ever know
How much I love you so
My only prayer will be
Someday you'll care for me
But it's only make believe

My hopes, my dreams come true
My life, I'd give for you
My heart, a wedding ring
My all, my everything

My heart, I can't control
You rule my very soul
My plans, my hopes, my schemes
Girl, you are my every dream
But it's only make believe

My one and only prayer
Girl, is that some day you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true
You're my one and only you

And no one will ever know
Just how much I love you so
And my only prayer will be
That someday you'll care for me
But it's only make believe
It's make believe

I have to admit
That no-one could love me like you did
And there were more laughs
Than tears any day
Like children at play
But somewhere and somehow
We lost each other

How high did we go
When we loved each other
How high did we go
When we said we care-hare-are-hared
For the first time I'm scared

I have no regrets
Lookin' back
I hold nothing against you
'Cause I learned to love
And that's more than most ever know
And I just can't believe
That we've lost each other

How high did we go
When we loved each other
How high did we go
When we said we care-hare-are-hare-ared
For the first time I'm scare-ared

How high did we go ho ho
When we loved each other
How high did we go
When we said we care-hare-are-hared

The palpitating beast that beats within my battered breast
Burning and bedevilling, not allowing any rest
The thunder in my mind reflects the storm within my heart
A blasting, blaring sound that tears my soul apart

If this is love ... who needs it?

There's a tender, tempting feeling that is growing in my mind
Soothing and caressing a part of me that's blind
A warming worm that's mellowing and eating my resolve
Changing and challenging my cold heart to dissolve

If this is love ... I want it!


Now a flaming, flaring fire I feel has trapped me in it's trance
Flashing and flickering and forcing me to dance
I'm raised by its pure energy, aborning me anew
Blinding but enlightening, I know the fire is you

If this is love ... I need it
If this is love ... I want it
If this is what love is like ... oh yes, I need it
Oh if this is what love is like, I wanna have a taste of it

(Jerry Goldstein - Gary James)

Love is like a warm and tender rain
Splashing on the roof beatin' on the window pane
She was like a soft and gentle breeze
Seemin' so sincere pretty as you please.

Though the time we spent together was so small
I keep wondering if I walked through it all
But the way you held me close and called my name
And the pain I'm feeling now tells me love is not a game.

Every time I looked into her eyes
I couldn't really see what was on her mind
'Cause she's been through this many times before
Never realized I must have been a poor.

Now I believe that love could be just simple true and harmony
Happiness for day and night no one wrong or right
But the way you held me close and called my name
And the pain I'm feeling now tells me love is not a game...

Love is like a warm and tender rain
Splashin' on the roof
Beatin' on the window pain

She was like a soft and gentle breeze
Seemin' so sincere
Pretty as you please

Though the time we spent together was so small
I keep wondering if I'll pull through it all
But the way you held me close and call my name
The pain I'm feelin' now
Tells me love is not a game

Every time I looked into her eyes
I couldn't really see
What was on her mind
'Cause she'd been through this many times before
I never realised I must have been a bore

Now I believe in love to be
Just simple truth and harmony
Happiness both day and night
No one wrong or right

But the way you held me close and call my name
And the pain I'm feelin' now
Tells me love is not a game

It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

As we walk along my thoughts are tumblin'
Round and round, round and round
Underneath our feet are someplace rumblin'
Underground, underground

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

I've got reasons a plenty for goin'
This I know, this I know
The weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Looking back on the days
When I was scuffling for a buck
Not overly concerned with life and love
I was always feeling sorry
For myself and my bad luck
I never stopped to think what life's made of

With my nose to the grindstone
And my collar to the wheel
I fought for my daily dollar like a man
Then you came into my life
And nothing else seemed real
I found the answer right here in my hands

Now I've got everything a man could ever need
I've got dreams to dream and songs to sing
In the morning
I've got hands to hold my baby-child
And eyes to watch my woman smile
I've got everything a man could ever need

Now my working days seem shorter
Than they ever did before
And the evening breeze gets cooler day by day
And the morning sun is always shining
Down on my backdoor
And your laughter washes all my tears away

And there's not a day goes by
When I don't look up to the sky
And humbly thank the good Lord up above
For bringing you to me in time
To make me realize
That all a poor man really needs is love

Now I've got everything a man could ever need
I've got dreams to dream and songs to sing
In the morning
I've got hands to hold my baby-child
And eyes to watch my woman smile
I've got everything a man could ever need
I've got everything a man could ever need

Sweet dream baby

FADE

Sweet dream baby

Hey little one so far from home and so alone
Hey little one I'm just like you I'm lonely too
The road of life is a long long road when you walk alone
Then I found you I found a love a love I've never known a love I've never known
Hey hey hey hey little one don't go away tell me you'll stay
Hey hey hey hey little one I'm just like you I'm so lonely too

(Your cheatin' heart will make you weep)
Your cheatin' heart will make you weep you'll cry and cry you'll try to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain you'll toss around and call my name
And you'll walk the floor the way I do your cheatin' heart will tell on you

Your cheatin' heart will pine someday and you'll crave the love you threw away
The time will come when you'll be blue your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down...

This is what I wanna live for
This is where I wanna live
To give my life to you and to this feeling
That's alive today
And never let it go away
No matter what this is

This is, and how can I deny it
This is, and will not be denied
And you don't have to give an explanation
For the way you feel
I only wanna know it's real
No matter what this is

To give my life to you and to this feeling
That's alive today
And never let it go, never let it go away
No matter what this is
No matter, no matter what this is
It's everything that is

Moonlight and roses are the goin' thing
Champagne, a little love, and a weddin' ring
But every time she leaves it's gonna break your heart
It's happened before, don't come to me, I don't want no part

Let go, it ain't worth it if it hurts you
Let go, you don't need it if-a she don't care
Like a good old wine or rock 'n' roll
If it feels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to say her name, baby let go

First time for both of you makes for urgent love
It gives a feel that it's all unreal, it's from up above
Tellin' some small secrets, dreamin' dreams by phone
And terrified there'll be a time she won't be alone

Well let go, it ain't worth it if it hurts you
Let go, you don't need it if-a she don't care
Like a good old wine or rock 'n' roll
If it feels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to say her name, baby let go

Walk away, leave well alo-one, you know you should
To be in love has as much that's bad as it has it's good
To counsel friends ain't wise but you sure need to see
You should know that before you, she di-id the same to me

Well let me tell ya, let go, it ain't worth it if it hurts you
And let go, you don't need it if-a she don't care
Like a good old wine or rock 'n' roll
If it feels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to say her name, baby let go

Like a good old wine or rock 'n' roll
If it feels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to say her name, baby let go
Like a good old wine or rock 'n' roll
If it feels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to say her name, baby let go, oh-oh (fade)

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
And God only knows what I'd be without you

And God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you
(repeat to fade)
