Bobby Goldsboro - Greatest Hits [compilation] (2005) by Bobby Goldsboro (보컬) on maniadb.com

See the funny little clown
See him laughing as you walk by
Everybody thinks he's happy
'Cause you never see a tear in his eye

No one knows he's crying
No one knows he's dying on the inside
'Cause he's laughing on the outside, mm
No one knows, no one knows

See the funny little clown
He's hiding behind a smile
They all think he's laughing
But I know he's really crying all the while

How his heart is aching
How his heart is breaking on the inside
But he keeps laughing on the outside, mm
No one knows, no one knows

This funny little clown
You never used to see him around
Without his girl beside him
To love and guide him

Until one day his girl just walked away
And to this very day he says
"He never loved her anyway"
Mm, and no one knows except for me
Because you see I'm that funny little clown

Little things that you do make me glad I'm in love with you
Little things that you say make me glad that I feel this way
The way you smile, the way you hold my hand
And when I'm down you always understand
You know I love those
Little things in my ear that you say when there's no one near
Little things that you do let me know that your love is true
When we walk, you like to hold my hand
And when we talk you tell me I'm your man
You know I love those
Little things that I hear, the little things you whisper in my ear
I know there ain't nobody else like you
No one could do the little things you do-oo
Little things that you do make me glad I'm in love with you
Little things that you say make me glad that I feel this way
When we walk, you like to hold my hand
And when we talk you tell me I'm your man
You know I love those
Little things that I hear, the little things you whisper in my ear
I know there ain't nobody else like you
No one could do the little things you do-oo

I remember when I told you

That I tried in every way

To hold you and kiss you and love you and keep you till my dying day



You just laughed

And said you found somebody new

And you didn't need all the things I could do.



Now you found out that your new love

Isn't true like he should be

You say that you're gonna forget him and you're gonna come back to me



Well things have changed

And I've found me somebody new

Someone to make me forget about you

And I'm telling you



That it's too late to say you're sorry

It's too late to say you're mine

I have found myself a new love

And I'm going to make her mine



It's too late

It's too late



Many days I tried to call you

Many nights I spent alone

Everyone knew that I loved you but you had a love of your own.



But now that it's gone

You think you can come back to me

But I'm not the same fool that I used to be

And you're gonna see



That it's too late to say you're sorry

It's too late to say you're mine

I have found myself a new love

And I'm going to make her mine

It's too late

It's too late

To say you're mine

Blue Autumn, falling leaves with red and gold.
Pretty colors, I am told.
But I only see only shades of blue,
because I'm loosing you.

Blue Autumn, there's a rainbow in the sky.
But no matter how I try,
I still see only shades of blue,
because I'm loosing you.

Such pretty colors I am told, they're for all to see.
But falling leaves of red and gold,
have all turned blue to me.

Blue Autumn, a love like yours I'll never know.
Other girls may come and go.
But I only see shades of you
and all my autumns will be blue.

Blue Autumn, a love like yours I'll never know.
Other girls may come and go.
But I only see shades of you
and all my autumns will be blue.

See the tree, how big it's grown,
But friend, it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her, and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig

Then the first snow came and she ran out
To brush the snow away so it wouldn't die...
Came runnin' in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed 'til I cried

She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve 2 years ago

And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late cause I would know
That she'd been sittin there an' cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show

And Honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

She wrecked the car, and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But, what the heck though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck...

I came home unexpectedly
And caught her cryin' needlessly, in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom, and robins sing, she went away...

And Honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

One day while I was not at home,
While she was there and all alone the angels came
Now all I have is memories of Honey
And I wake up nights and call her name

Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived, and Honey played and love grew up
and a small cloud passes over head
And cries down on the flower bed that Honey loved

And see the tree how big it's grown
But, friend it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big
And I laughed at her, she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig...

In the Spring of my life, she came to me.
She brought sunshine where winter winds had blown.
Then I took her for my wife, in the spring of my life
and she brought me a joy I never known.

And the years, they went by in the spring of my life.
And in summer, she blessed me with a child.
Love continued to grow, in the summer of my life
and in every morning sun I saw her smile.

But in the autumn of my years, I noticed the tears
and I knew our life was in the past.
Though I tried to pretend, I knew it was the end.
For the autumn of my life had come at last.

Now what, what do you say to a child of ten?
How do you tell him his daddy's going away?
Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life
and that he'll understand some winter's day?

Now the rose can't be found on a snow covered ground.
and the Sun can not shine through cloudy skys.
But I'm richer you see for the years she gave to me
and I'm content in the autumn of my life.

You knew I could not stay for long when you asked me
to come over in the wee hours of the mornin.

I said I could not let the sunrise catch me sleepin
and that is why I've givin you fair warnin.

And though you might have loved me like I never ever have been
loved before your front door is open
and I've got to keep on movin.

So I will stay with you a while and then I'll
let my hitch hike thumb take me to where I wanna.

Because I've got to keep on searchin for the dream that I've been seekin
since I left my home in Oklahoma

And who's to say but that I might not be back tomorrow
if I find there's only sorrow you may see me from your windowsill
next mornin

I'm a drifter and I've seen the rain.
I'm a drifter and I've felt the pain, the pain that comes with loneliness.
So I drift from town to town searchin all around.
Lookin for the answer to my sorrow.
And if the answer is you then I'll be back tomorrow.

Lets make the most of time before the break of day
but don't try to make me stay if I don't want to.

Because I've got to keep on searchin for that dream
and you can't bind me with the simple words I love you.

But if I realize the dream that I've been searchin for
is waitin here behind your door
then I'll come back to stay if you still want me to.

I'm a drifter and I've seen the rain
I'm a drifter and I've felt the pain the pain that comes with loneliness.
So I drift from town to town searchin all around
Lookin for the answer to my sorrow
And if the answer is you then I'll be back tomorrow.

I'm a drifter and I've seen the rain
I'm a drifter and I've felt the pain the pain that comes with loneliness.
So I drift from town to town searchin all around
Lookin for the answer to my sorrow
And if the answer is you then I'll be back tomorrow.

I'm a drifter 'fade

It was a hot afternoon
Last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming
I told Billy-Ray
In his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinking
I was just walking by
When I looked in her eye
And I swore it was winking
She was 31 and I was 17
I knew nothing about love
She knew everything
And I sat down beside her on the front porch swing
And wondered what the coming night would bring
The sun closed her eyes
As it climbed in the sky
And it started to swelter
The sweat trickled down the front of her gown
And I thought it would melt her
She threw back her hair
Like I wasn't there
And she sipped on a julep
Her shoulders were bare
And I tried not to stare
When I looked at her two lips.
And when she looked at me
I heard her softly say
I know you're young
You don't know what to do or say
But stay with me until the sun has gone away
And I will chase the boy in you away
And then she smiled and we talked for a while
And we walked for a mile to the sea
We sat on the sand, and a boy took her hand
But I saw the sun rise as a man
Ten years have gone by
Since I looked in her eye
But the memory lingers
I go back in my mind
To the very first time
And feel the touch of her fingers
It was a hot afternoon
Last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming...
