Silver coins that jingle jangle,
Fancy shoes that dance in time Oh, the secrets of her dark eyes, They did sing a gypsy rhyme Yellow clover in tangled blossoms In a meadow silky green Where she held me to her bosom, Just a boy of seventeen I recall a gypsy woman Silver spangles in her eyes Ivory skin against the moonlight And the taste of life's sweet wine Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows And stir the darkness in my mind Oh, gentle woman you sleep beside me Little know who haunts my mind Gypsy lady, I hear your laughter And it dances in my head While my tender wife and babies Slumber softly in their beds I recall a gypsy woman Silver spangles in her eyes Ivory skin against the moonlight And the taste of life's sweet wine... |

I've held it all inward
Lord knows I've tried It's an awful awakenin' In a country boy's life To look in the mirror In total surprise At the hair on your shoulders And the age in your eyes. (Chorus) Amanda light of my life Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife Amanda light of my life Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife. Well the measure of people Don't understand The pleasures of life In a hillbilly band I got my first guitar When I was fourteen Now I'm crowding thirty And still wearin' jeans. (Chorus) |

I don't believe in superstars organic food and foreign cars
I don't believe the price of gold the certainty of growing old That right is right and left is wrong that north and south can't get along That east is east and west is west and being first is always best But I believe in love I believe in babies I believe in mom and dad and I believe in you I don't believe that heaven waits for only those who congregate I like to think of God as love he's down below he's up above He's watchin' people everywhere he knows who does and doesn't care And I'm an ordinary man sometimes I wonder who I am But I believe in love I believe in music I believe in magic and I believe in you Well I know with all my certainty what's going on with you and me is a good thing It's true I believe in you Well I don't believe virginity is as common as it used to be In working days and sleeping nights that black is black and white is white That Superman and Robin Hood are still alive in Hollywood That gasoline's in short supply the rising cost of gettin' by But I believe in love I believe in old folks I believe in children and I believe in you [ guitar ] |

Till the rivers all run dry till the sun falls from the sky
Till life on earth is through I'll be needing you I know sometimes you may wonder from little things I say and do But there's no need for you to wonder if I need you cause I'll need you Till the rivers all run dry... [ guitar - piano ] Too many times I don't tell you too many things get in the way And even though sometimes I hurt you still you show me in every way Till the rivers all run dry... |
