Conway Twitty

I can't believe she gives it all to me
I pinch myself when I wake up each morning
Cause I'm constantly amazed when I see
Exactly everything I've always wanted
But I can't believe she gives it all to me
Lips that warm my face with morning kisses
Arms that reach to hold me tenderly
And love that always satisfies completely
But I can't believe she gives it all to me
She gives me more than any one man deserves
I who have everything am nothing without her
Somehow she knows I need her desperately
I can't believe she gives it all to me

It's over our love affair
Too late now I find I care
Her sweet love never more I'll share
She's gone I'm alone
I was wrong should have known
Took her home after our last date

I searched for a simple way
To tell her what I had to say
I kissed her then I turned away
Set her free foolishly
Destiny misery
Tragedy on our last date

Took my ring from her trembling finger
Brushed a tear from my baby's eye
Walked away didn't know
That I'd soon miss her so
Guess I was too young to realize

So blind I couldn't see
How much she really meant to me
And that soon she would always be
On my mind in my heart
I was blind from the start
Lost her love on our last date

It's over our love affair
Too late now I find I care
Her sweet love never more I'll share
She's gone I'm alone
I was wrong should have known
Took her home after our last date

I searched for a simple way
To tell her what I had to say
I kissed her then I turned away
Set her free foolishly
Destiny misery
Tragedy on our last date

Took my ring from her trembling finger
Brushed a tear from my baby's eye
Walked away didn't know
That I'd soon miss her so
Guess I was too young to realize

So blind I couldn't see
How much she really meant to me
And that soon she would always be
On my mind in my heart
I was blind from the start
Lost her love on our last date

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)

From: WALLACE HOARD

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...

Before you take another step
There's something you should know
About the years ahead and how they'll be
You'll be living in a world where roses hardly ever grow
'Cause all I have to offer you is me.

There'll be no mansions
Waiting on the hill with crystal chandeliers
And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Everything I have is standing here
In front of you to see
All I have to offer you is me.

--- Instrumental ---

Sweetheart, I'll give you all my love in every way I can
But make sure that's what you want while you're still free
The only gold I have for you is in this wedding band
'Cause all I have to offer you is me.

There'll be no mansions
Waiting on the hill with crystal chandeliers
And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Everything I have is standing here
In front of you to see
All I have to offer you is me.

All I have to offer you is me...

M: Good-bye Loretta.

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...

Other arms have held me before your time
Other lips have thrilled me before your time
Other eyes have seen the light
You see in my eyes tonight.
Oh, but darling, that was long bofore your time

Other hearts have been broken before your time
Unkind words were spoken before your time
Other ears have heard me
Say the things I say to you today
But darling that was long before your time.

Before you came along I sang this same old song before
The melody was born when we walk right through love's door
The words I love you came but I just couldn't sing that line
Oh, but darling, that was long before your time.

This big town is a shelter for me
I found a place to hide my misery
I lost my love so long ago
And though my heart is hurting so
The one I love will never know
As long as I stay

In this big town I find the peace of mind
That only losers in the game of love can find
The years have gone crawling by
This hurt I feel will never die
Somehow I know deep down inside
I'll never get away from this big town
From this big town

In this big town there's a street of misery
And on the street there's a dwelling place for me
In the darkness of my room I try
To sleep but all I do is cry
And still I realize that
I am ever lucky to be here

In this big town so no one else can see
Just what your cheating heart has done to me
The glimmer of the city lights
The shadows of the lonely nights
Will help to hide me while I cry
A hundred dreaded tears

In this big town
In this big town
In this big town
In this big town
In this big town

I've known you since you were a schoolgirl
Saw the smoke turn to fire in your eyes
From the window of my room
I watched a young girl bloom
Saw the woman in you come alive

Watched you fall in love a time or two
I saw you get hurt once or twice
And you'd come running over, cry on my shoulder
Sometimes I'd get to hold you all night

There in my arms you'd lay soft and warm
You never felt the writing on the wall
You never knew how I wanted you
I was the boy next door, that's all
Just the boy next door, that's all

I watched you drift away out of my reach
I never got to hold you again
And here in my heart is the saddest part
We'll never know how it might have been

There in my arms you'd lay soft and warm
I sure love to catch you when you fall
But you never knew how I wanted you
I was the boy next door, that's all
Just the boy next door, that's all

Do you ever think about me, honey?
The boy next door, that's all

Ain't it funny how time
Steals the feelings from a love affair
And there's no place to lay the blame
It ain't a case of no one cares
Helplessly just watch it fade away
Neither will admit we're both aching to say.

Ooo, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
I had my little jealousies
Ooo, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I need to feel that way again
Remember when we were crazy in love.

Oh, it used to be so easy one touch and you were high
And I could get intoxicated just by looking in your eyes
Baby ain't there anything we can do
'Cause I know you're missing me
As much as I've been missing you.

Ooo, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
I had my little jealousies
Ooo, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I need to feel that way again
Remember when we were crazy in love.

We were more than best of friends
We were crazy in love
Crazy in love
Crazy in love...

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come you back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glenn to glenn and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you, It's you must go and I must bide.

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, the pipes are calling
From glenn to glenn and even down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you, It's you must go and I must bide.

Well, come on back when summer's in the meadow
When the valley's hushed and even white with snow
Hey, I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so.

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so....

Should I just ride in and steal you away
Don't know what else to do
I've got a desperado, love for you
You say you belong to another man
The first time we met I knew
That I have a desperado, love for you.

Chorus:
I know that it breaks every law
To feel the way I'm feelin'
But I want your love so desperately
I don't see the wrong in stealin'
So hold on I'm gonna shoot for the heart
Like desperados do
I've got a desperado, love for you.

--- Instrumental ---

It's so wrong to take what isn't mine
And head out for the border
But I can't look at you and have
Respect for law and order
So hold on I'm gonna' shoot for the heart
Like desperados do
I've got a desperado, love for you.

I've got a desperado, love for you...

So you came from New York city
And you want to see the sights
You've heard all about those cowboys
And those crazy Texas nights

I see you've got your eye on something
Leaning on the bar
But the toughest ride he's ever had
Was in his foreign car

Chorus:
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
'Cause a Stetson hat and those fancy boots
Don't tell ya what's inside no
And if he ain't good in the saddle
Lord, you won't be satisfied
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride

He's the Hollywood idea
Of the wild andd wooly west
In his french designer blue jeans
And his custom tailored vest
You think he's the real thing
But I think you oughta know
He can't even make it through
A one night rodeo. No.

Chorus:
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
'Cause a Stetson hat and those fancy boots
Don't tell ya what's inside. no.
And if he ain't good in the saddle
Lord, you won't be satisfied
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride

Don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
'Cause a Stetson hat and those fancy boots
Don't tell ya what's inside. no.
And if he ain't good in the saddle
Lord, you won't be satisfied
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride

Don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride...

Woman-
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love
forever true

Man -
Joni was the girl who lived next door
I've known her I guess 10 years or more
Joni wrote me a note one day
And this is what she had to say

Woman-
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love
forever true

Man-
Slowly I read her note once more
Then I went over to the house next door
Her tear drops fell like rain that day
When I told Joni what I had to say

Man-
Joni, Joni please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
You're just fifteen
I'm twenty two
And Joni I just cant wait for you

Man - Soon I left our little home town
Got me a job and tried to settle down
But these words kept haunting my memory
The words that Joni said to me

Woman- Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up some day you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love
forever true

Man - I packed my clothes
And I caught a plane
I had to see Joni
I had to explain
How my heart was filled
With her memory
And ask my Joni if she'd marry me

I ran all the way
To the house next door
But things weren't like they were before
My tear drops fell like rain that day
When I heard what Joni had to say

Woman- Jimmy, Jimmy please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
It's been five years since you've been gone
Jimmy I married your best friend John

I've been looking for you all night long, darling
You got to talk to me
I want to tell you how wrong I've been
And I won't do it again
You know that woman didn't mean a thing to me.

I hope I don't embarrass you too much
Here in front of all your friends
I'm gonna get down on my knees
Please let me make it, please I can't give you up
'Cause you've made love so good for me, so long.

Don't take it away 'cause love don't come easy
Darling, I'm sorry I stepped over the line
Don't take it away, don't make me go crazy
'Cause I would follow you to the ends of my mind.

From now on I'm gonna be the kind
Of man you can lean on
And when the waters of life
Get a little too rough or a little too deep
I'm gonna be your stepping stone
And oh, I remember all those nights
That you used to take right a hold of me
And you'd hold on.

Please let me make it, please I can't give you up
'Cause you've made love so good for mem so long.

Don't take it away, cause love can't come easy
Darling, I'm sorry I stepped over the line
Don't take it away, don't make me go crazy
'Cause I would follow you to the ends of my mind...

I've been looking for you all night long, darling
You got to talk to me
I want to tell you how wrong I've been
And I won't do it again
You know that woman didn't mean a thing to me.

I hope I don't embarrass you too much
Here in front of all your friends
I'm gonna get down on my knees
Please let me make it, please I can't give you up
'Cause you've made love so good for me, so long.

Don't take it away 'cause love don't come easy
Darling, I'm sorry I stepped over the line
Don't take it away, don't make me go crazy
'Cause I would follow you to the ends of my mind.

From now on I'm gonna be the kind
Of man you can lean on
And when the waters of life
Get a little too rough or a little too deep
I'm gonna be your stepping stone
And oh, I remember all those nights
That you used to take right a hold of me
And you'd hold on.

Please let me make it, please I can't give you up
'Cause you've made love so good for mem so long.

Don't take it away, cause love can't come easy
Darling, I'm sorry I stepped over the line
Don't take it away, don't make me go crazy
'Cause I would follow you to the ends of my mind...

Lookin' at us they'd think that we just met
And only been in love a night or two.
They see a beautiful woman
In the shadows with a man
And all they see is a weekend rendezvous.

Guess we look like cheaters?
Lover's lyin' low?
We must be decievers
'Cause baby they don't know.

I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on, for years

--- Instrumental ---

You make it easy to be a one woman man.
Just look at you sitting there.
Your eyes are talkin' in that soft and sexy way.
Sayin' let's slip away, slip away somewhere.
It don't take a rainy night or music in the dark.
But baby when your body sends a message to my heart.

I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on and on and on.

I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on and on and on and on
(Fallin' for you for years ...)

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

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

Like the first apartment that we had
That bumpy little couch that made into a bed
The shower down the hall and footsteps overhead
She said it's just fine.

Times were hard for us for quite awhile
But through those hungry days she faced it with a smile
Not wanting me to know she's carrying my child.
She tried to ease my mind

And for my woman's love,
For my woman's love
Each day I thank the Lord above
For my sweet woman's love.

Through the years of moving town to town
Still searching for a dream somehow we never found
And wondering if we would ever settle down
Her love never died.

And if I am anything today I owe it
To the love I had along the way
No matter what went wrong no matter come what may
She stood by my side

And for my woman's love,
For my woman's love
Each day I thank the Lord above
For my sweet woman's love.

And for my woman's love,
For my woman's love
Each day I thank the Lord above
For my sweet woman's love...

Hello darling, happy birthday
I've decided not to give you a present this year
In fact I think it's about time I took some things away.

I'd like to take away the suspicion
That I know clouds your world at times
By giving you some faith to hold on to, honey
Whenever your hand is not in mine.

Happy birthday darling, I've no present, no fancy cake
But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take.

I'd like to take away some of your lonely moments
By spending more time with you
And I'd like to take away some of those so, so kisses
And replace them with ones that really say, I love you.

And I want to take away the doubt
You sometimes have about my love
By showing it more, much more than I've shown you lately
And then if someone should ask you
What I got you for your birthday
Well you can say, why he didn't give me anything
But he sure took a lot of things away.

Happy birthday darling I've no present, no fancy cake
But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take.

There's a devil in my body
That I just can't satisfy
Other women haunt me
Even though I love my wife.

It's because I really love her,
I try to save her heart with lies
But I know she knows
I can see it in her eyes.

I try to stay at home, love only her,
Play with the kids and watch T.V.
But then my mind becomes unsure
About the kind of love I need.

My reasons for cheating
There as good as lies can be
How much more can she stand
And still stand by me?

--- Instrumental ---

It's so hard for me to call her
I can hardly dial the phone
I did wrong again last night,
Now I just want to go back home.

She knows that I lied,
Lord, she'll cry where I can't see
How much more can she stand
And still stand by me?

How much more can she stand
And still stand my me?..

I pinch myself when I wake up each mornin'
'Cause I'm constantly amazed when I see
Exactly everything I've always wanted
But I cant believe she gives it all to me

Mmm, lips that warm my face with mornin' kisses
Arms that reach to hold me tenderly
And love that always satisfies completely
But I cant believe she gives it all to me

She gives me more than any one man deserves
I who have everything am nothing without her
Somehow she knows I need her desperately
I can't believe she gives it all to me

I pinch myself when I wake up each mornin'
'Cause I'm constantly amazed when I see
Exactly everything I've always wanted
But I cant believe she gives it all to me

Mmm, lips that warm my face with mornin' kisses
Arms that reach to hold me tenderly
And love that always satisfies completely
But I cant believe she gives it all to me

She gives me more than any one man deserves
I who have everything am nothing without her
Somehow she knows I need her desperately
I can't believe she gives it all to me

I can't see you in my arms anymore
And I can't see me without you

Is it day, is it night
Am I losing my sight
Is it over, are we really through
I can't see you in my arms anymore
And I can't see me without you
(chorus)
I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leaving or gone
I could never see anything you wanted me to
And I can't see me without you.

I see the house, you once called your home
And I see the door you walked through
And I see the road you're leaving me on
But I can't see me without you
(chorus)

From: WALLACE HOARD

I can't stop loving you so I made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times.
I can't stop wanting you, it's useless to say
So I just live my life in dreams of yesterday.

Those happy hours that we once knew
So long ago, still make me blue.
And they say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart.

I can't stop love you, so I made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times.
I can't stop wanting you, it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday.

I can't stop loving you so I made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times.
I can't stop wanting you, it's useless to say
So I just live my life in dreams of yesterday.

Those happy hours that we once knew
So long ago, still make me blue.
And they say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart.

I can't stop love you, so I made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times.
I can't stop wanting you, it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday.

(Written By: Ronny Scaife And Rory Michael Bourke)

Lying all alone in this midnight blue
With nothing but these memories of you
Staring at these walls that are closing in
Wondering if you're ever coming back again.

Now I'm just a prisoner in this big old bed
Living with the things that I should've said
Why is it always after someone's gone
That you begin to see where you went wrong.

Chorus:
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone
That note you left on my pillow said I was on my own
I never heard you crying, 'cause I was seldom home
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone.

--- Instrumental ---

I just keep wondering where you are tonight
And if someone else is holding you tight
It took you walking out the door to see
That I'm really nothing when you're not with me.

I did a good job of fooling myself
Thinking that you're love would stay on the shelf
But how could anybody be so blind
To have to wake up alone and find.

Chorus:
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone
That note you left on my pillow said I was on my own
I never heard you crying, 'cause I was seldom home
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone.

I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone...

I talk to the man in the moon.
I said, "Sir, is she coming back soon?"
He smiled and he stated,
"Son, I'm over-rated,
I've had to much credit in those old love tunes.
I don't know a thing about love,
I just kind of hang here above.
I just watch from the sky,
Will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love."

Then I asked him "Where is she tonight?
You must see all things with your light."
He said, "Son, I could tell you things that might kill you,
But I don't get involved in what's wrong or right.
I don't know a thing about love,
I just kind of hang here above.
I just watch from the sky,
Will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love."

He said, "I can move oceans when I take the notion.
Or make mountains tremble and rivers run dry.
But in all matters human, remember there's someone
In charge of those things way above you and I.
I don't know a thing about love,
I just kind of hang here above.
I just watch from the sky,
Will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love.
I don't know a thing about love."

I walked with you
And talked with you
And held your lovin' hand
We loved a while and I lived a while
And I thought that fate had it planned.

Then someone stole my angel
And I lost what I loved most
I may never get to heaven
But I once came mighty close.

I may never play
A golden harp
Or spread celestial wings
Or walk
A golden staircase
While a distant chorus sings.

But once, I had your sweet love
And felt your tender touch
I may never get to heaven
But I didn't miss it much.

I may never get to heaven
But I once came mighty close...

I see the sparkling little diamond on your hand
It's plain to see that you've already got a man
I can see you're not about to fall for any of my lines
I see the want to in your eyes

Deep in your smile there's a quiet, soft desire
Like the embers of a once raging fire
You know I could light that fire again,
you know it isn't wise
I see the want to in your eyes

How strong's a band of gold
Is it strong enough to hold,
when a love has grown cold
and A woman wants a love, sweet
and warm
How many women just like you have
silent schemes.
How many men like me do they sleep
with in their dreams
You can stay or you can go and
although I sympathize
I still see the want to in your eyes
I see the want to in your eyes

I see the sparkling little diamond on your hand
It's plain to see that you've already got a man
I can see you're not about to fall for any of my lines
I see the want to in your eyes

Deep in your smile there's a quiet, soft desire
Like the embers of a once raging fire
You know I could light that fire again,
you know it isn't wise
I see the want to in your eyes

How strong's a band of gold
Is it strong enough to hold,
when a love has grown cold
and A woman wants a love, sweet
and warm
How many women just like you have
silent schemes.
How many men like me do they sleep
with in their dreams
You can stay or you can go and
although I sympathize
I still see the want to in your eyes
I see the want to in your eyes

(Loretta)
I pushed him away and carefully said Im just not htat kinda girl
You might think I'm square
But you've been around in the ways of the world
I know that making is taking for granted
Its all easy come ,easy go
He pulled me close ,whispered,now darlin theres something I want you to know

(Conway)
I still believe in waltzes ,and girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs,in the good,inthe good ole days
I've always liked happy endings,somebodys dream coming true
I still believe in waltzes and dancing the last one with you

(Loretta)
He slipped into bed,I turne dover and said
Im worried your working so late
Is it just your job
that keeps you away,Lord
I know the temptations are gray
Im just a wife,Im just a momma
Its not too exciting I know
He pulled me close and whispered those same words that night long ago

(Conway)
I still believe in waltzes ,and girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs,in the good,in the good ole days
I've always liked happy endings,somebodys dream coming true
I still believe in waltzes and dancing the last one with you

We still believe in waltzes...

I was the first to hold you in my arms so tight
I was the first to thrill you with a kiss goodnight
I was the first to stir your feelin's new and strange
I was the first and that's the one thing he can't change.

I was the first to take advantage of your youth
I was the first to whisper love words for the truth
I was the first to break your heart in two and yet
I was the first and I know that you can't forget.

He can't stop these feelings that keep runnin' through his mind
Things you couldn't help that happened long before his time
I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts
To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first.

I was the first to kiss your lips and hold your hand
I was the first to ever touch you as a man
I was the first to take your innocence then run
I was your first; I took a girl and made a woman.

We've already done the things that he's got on his mind
Things you couldn't help that happened long before his time
I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts
To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first.

I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts
To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first
Sometimes he wishes he was me 'cause I was the first
Lord, I'd give anything if I had only been the last...

If I were a sailor,Lost upon the tide
Sailing round in circles,Half an ocean wide
My heart would be my compass
It would guide me through
I will always find my way to you.

If I were a soldier,In some far distant land
Your face and my memory,Rifle in my hand
I would not fear the bullets,No matter how they flew
I will always find my way to you.

Like a lighthouse on the darkest night
Your love will always shine
And though I may have lost my way
That beacon,I will find.

If I were flier in another time and place
Floating lost and helpless
In the endless bounds of space
I do know more than speak your name
And hope would rise you
I will always find my way to you.

I will always find my way to you...

And I wonder if you told her,
And I wonder if you told her about me?

Oh hello, fancy meetin' you
The girl you have with you sure looks sweet
But does she know you're talking to you're old used to be
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?

It sure is good to see you, it's been a long long time
Don't think I't's foolish of me if I weep
I just can't hide the power of, so many memories
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?

--- Instrumental ---

Now I can see she loves you and you can see it too
She's got you on her mind constantly
But does she know the reason why I set her free
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?

The party's almost over but let me say before I'd go
I'm glad at last you found your destiny
I told her that you love her and held her tenderly
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?..

There's a lot of ways of sayin' what I want to say to you,
There's songs and poems and promises and dreams that might be true.
But I wont talk of stary skies or moonlight on the ground,
I'll come right out and tell you, I'd just love to lay you down.

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear.
Lay ya down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear.
I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around.
Oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down.

There's so many ways your sweet love made this house into a home.
You've got a way of doin' little things that turn me on.
Like standin' in the kitchen in your faded cotton gown,
With your hair all up in curlers, I'd still love to lay ya down.

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear.
Lay ya down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear.
I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around.
Oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down.

When a whole lot of Decembers are showin' in your face.
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes it's place.
You'll be just as lovely and I'll still be around.
And if I can, I know that I'd still love to lay you down.

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear.
Lay ya down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear.
I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around.
Oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down.

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear.

Well, if your heartaches are many
And your friends are few
Well, darlin' I, I, I, I sympathize with you.

If your days, your days 're lonely
And your nights are blue
Well darlin' I, I, I, I sympathize with you.

Well, if you want someone to love you
I'll try, oh, how I'll try
Well if you need someone to hold you
Close by his side.
Yea, Yea, Yea.

I'll try, I'll try to hide
The tears that you cry
Well darlin', I, I, I, I sympathize with you.

Well, if you want someone to love you
I'll try, oh, how I'll try
Well if you need someone to hold you
Close by his side.
Yea, Yea, Yea.

I'll try, I'll try to hide
The tears that you cry
Well Darlin', I, I, I, I sympathize with you.

Yea, Yea, Yea, Yea...

You came to me and you threw me, with a simple goodbye
I begged your forgiveness, but you won't even try
You just say that it's all over, that you'll soon forget
But I still remember, I'm not through loving you yet

(Chorus)
No I'm not through, loving you
I just need some time to make the plans
That we made come true
Now you're tired of trying and soon I'll regret
That I couldn't hold you
I'm not through loving you yet

(Repeat chorus)

I thought I've never seen a girl like her in here before
And I could see her watching me as I walk across the floor
I asked her if she'd like to dance
When the band starts up again
She said I never danced with strangers
I don't even know your name.

I said we're not exactly strangers, you and I
My thoughts were running wild and free
As I watched you tonight
Just think about it and you'll find
We're not exactly strangers
I've already loved you in my mind.

The band started playing a slow moving song
She got up and easily moved into my arms
I kept on saying the things a girl likes to hear
And when the dance was over she whispered in my ear.

She said we're not exactly strangers, you and I
My thoughts were running wild and free
While you held me tight
I thought about it and I find
We're not exactly strangers
I've already loved you in my mind...

In a way I'm glad it's over,
Even though it's gonna hurt me once you're gone
I can learn to live without you,
Give me time and I can make it on my own.

Lovin' you to me came easy
Now losing you will change my life no doubt
And in a way I'm glad it's over,
In another way it turns me inside out.

In a way I guess it's better,
Even though there's nothing good about goodbye
And I know I couldn't hold you,
Now you've found your wings and you need room to fly.

And it's for sure I'm gonna miss you,
But I guess that's what goodbye is all about
And in a way I'm glad it's over,
But in another way it turns me inside out.

On the one hand I know
I'll be better off once you're gone,
But I find a lot of heartache on the other
And I can't say I'll look forward
To those nights I'll spend alone
And I wonder w! ill there ever be another.

Loving you to me came easy,
Now losing you will change my life no doubt
And in a way I'm glad it's over,
In another way it turns me inside out.

Yes, in a way I'm glad it's over,
But in another way it turns me inside out...

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

My prayers, my hopes, my schemes
You are my every dream
But it's only make believe (make believe)

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 someday 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 only prayer will be
Someday you'll care for me
But it's only make believe

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

You were always there for me, Julia.
I was so afraid to fall in love.
I thought you'd wait for me,
Is it too late for me now?
Have you given up?

How it must have hurt you, Julia.
Waitin' for your love to be returned.
I never knew how.
What can I do now that I
Have finally learned?

I never thought that love could hurt me,
Now I tremble at the thought of losing you.
And all the perfect words desert me now,
Just in case it matters,
I love you.

May I have this dance with you, Julia?
Won't you let me hold you one more time?
The music is over,
But I'll hold you closer this time, Julia.
Julia.

Whenever I chance to meet, some old friends on the street
They wonder, how does a man get to be this way
I've always got a smilin' face, any time and any place
And everytime they ask me why, I just smile and say.

You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home.

Some people may try to guess, the secret of a happiness
But some of them never learn, it's a simple thing
The secret I'm speaking of, is a woman and a man in love
The answer is in that song, Charlie always sings.

You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home.

You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home...

Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'll erase you
From my heart and from my mind.

Talk is goin' over town
That you my love
Have let me down
I don't believe what people say.

I still love you.
I don't believe that you're to blame
I don't believe you've brought me shame.
I just can't believe that you have been untrue.

They say I should go on alone
That you've done something very wrong
That you're not worthy of the love I have for you
But I won't believe a thing they say until you say it's true.

Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'd erase you
From my heart and from my mind.

--- Instrumental ---


You tell me that the things they say
are true that I should go my way
You ask me to forgive you
For the wrong you've done

You say although you've been untrue
I still mean everything to you
That you only meant to dance
With him and have some fun.

Then the jukebox played our favorite song
You knew that you were doing wrong
You closed your eyes and made believe that I was there
And now you think it's better that we'll end our love affair.

Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'd erase you
From my heart and from my mind...

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
