Guess I'm doin' all right Except I can't sleep and I cry all night till dawn What I'm trying to say is "I love you and I miss you" "And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong" Look up, darlin', let me kiss ya Just for old time's sake Let me hold you in my arms one more time Thank ya, darlin', may God bless you And may each step you take Bring you closer to the thing you seek to find Goodbye, darlin', gotta go now Gotta try to find a way To lose these mem'ries of a love so warm and true And if you should ever find it in your heart to forgive me Come back, darlin', I'll be waiting for you |

Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind And next to me my soon to be The one I left behind And lord it's killing me, to see her crying She knows I'm lying here beside her With Linda on my mind Yes I know that I once loved her And I placed no one above her And I never thought I'd ever set her free But it just wasn't in my plans The way Linda squeezed my hand The first time that I held her close As she danced with me She said I've loved you for a long time But you're married to a friend of mine And I've tried hard, to never let it show But my love for you is stronger I can't hide it any longer And so I thought I'd better let you know (chorus) lead break (chorus) From: WALLACE HOARD |

I can almost hear the stillness
as it yields to the sound of your heart beating and I can almost hear the echo of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking and I can feel your body tremble as you wonder what this moment holds in store and as I put my arms around you I can tell you've never been this far before I don't know what I'm saying as my trembling fingers touch forbidden places I only know that I have waited for so long for the chance that we are taking I don't know and I don't care what made you tell him you don't love him anymore and as I taste your tender kisses I can tell you've never been this far before and as I take the love you're giving I can feel the tension building in your mind and you're wondering if tomorrow I'll still love you like I'm loving you tonight you have no way of knowing but tonight will only make me love you more and I hope that you'll believe me 'cause I know you've never been this far before |

Lord, she needs someone to hold her when she cries.
She packed her few belongings left a note and now she's gone And I can't stand to think of her out there so all alone As soon as she's gone far enough to know she's out of sight She'll pull off the highway and she'll cry. And she needs someone to hold her when she cries Someone who really understands the way she feels inside When her heart breaks the tears won't stop, no matter how she tries And she needs someone to hold her when she cries. I don't blame her for leavin' Lord, she didn't want to go But she thinks I don't love her or need her anymore I've driven her into a world as dark and cold as ice With no one there to hold her when she cries. And she needs someone to hold her when she cries Someone who really understands the way she feels inside And if she ever loves again I hope that she will find Someone who'll always hold her when she cries. |

My hand is trembling as the key unlocks the door
My legs are shaky as I walk across the floor My voice weakens as I call out I'm home Do my eyes deceive me or is my baby gone? Baby's gone she couldn't stand to tell me face to face And things just ain't the way they used to be Around this place Her perfume lingers where she once lay her head And I can almost taste the teardrops that she shed As she searched her mind and tried to find Just where our love went wrong But it's ended and it's over, and baby's gone. Baby's gone she couldn't stand to tell me face to face And things just ain't the way they used to be Around this place Her perfume lingers where she once lay her head And I can almost taste the teardrops that she shed As she searched her mind and tried to find Just where it all went wrong But it's ended and it's over, and baby's gone... |

He put his arm around her shoulder
with a voice that sounded older He said, "Mom, I got something on my mind. I don't wanna bother you but I sure need to talk to you If you can only spare the time. And Mom I hope you understand How much I love and need you And I don't want you to take this the wrong way But don't you think I'm old enough And big enough and strong enough To play the games that Daddies play?" My friend Billy Parker's dad Came by today to see me And he wondered if I'd like to go With him and Billy on a hike And maybe camp out overnight The way I've seen 'em do in picture shows And there's one thing I'd like to do And maybe if I ask him to He'd sit and talk with me man to man We'd only be gone overnight And I could find out what it's like To play the games that Daddies play. She quickly turned to hide the tears From her son of seven years He didn't know she'd read between the lines He'd never really known his dad And although he'd never ask She knew exactly what was on his mind She searched her mind in desperation, Six long years of separation Dimmed the words she knew she had to say I hope you're never big enough Or old enough or bold enough To play the games that Daddies play. I know you need and want his love but, Son, you're the victim of Another kind of game that Daddies play... |

Today I got a letter from someone
Just a friend we knew some time ago And as I read between the lines I began to realize He didn't know I lost you a long long time ago. Oh, I just can't make it any longer Everything I do is always wrong I'm livin' a lie and there's no need in tryin' To keep hangin' on after all the good is gone. --- Instrumental --- Lord, I wish that I could die and there's no use in tryin' To keep hangin' on after all the good is gone... |

I saw a man today who said he talked to you
not so long ago, I think a month or two as my mind raced back in time I prayed oh, Lord, don't let it show he thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same why did he have to mention your name I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so it takes a mighty long time to get a real love off your mind I know, I've tried since fifteen years ago I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me I promised her my love through all eternity I've tried hard to make her happy and so far, she doesn't know That I can't shake this thing of fifteen years ago Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same why did he have to mention your name I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so It takes a mighty strong love To keep a man thinking of A girl he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago |
