Dolly Parton [영화배우, 가수]

(Carole Bayer Sager/Bruce Roberts)

I found out the hard way
And I'm never gonna break your heart
I know, too late
And I don't want to break your heart
Guess I had to go away just to find
What I left behind

You're the only one
You're the only one
Take me back
To where we started from
And let's make it now
Like we made it then
This ol' heart ain't gonna break your heart again

Nights I lay in bed
And your covers wouldn't warm my feet
And morning found me
Bitter or a bit too sweet
Oh baby, I had to go away
Just to run back and say

You're the only one
You're the only one
Take me back
To where we started from
Can we make it now
Like we made it then
This ol' heart ain't gonna break your heart again

You're the only one darlin'
They'll never be anyone else but you
I love you so much


You are my love, you've become my life
And I never meant to break your heart
But, sometimes, you just got to go away
To find what you left behind

You're the only one
You're the only one
Take me back
To where we started from
Can we make it now
Like we make it then
This ol' heart ain't gonna break your heart again

You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one
The only one
So take me back
To where we started from

You're the only one
The only one
You're the only one

You 're the only one
The only one
Take me back
To where we started from

You're the only one
The only one
You're the only one
You're the only one
The only one

Some day you're gonna want me but I ain't gonna be around
Some day you'll find you miss the kiss that you're forever turnin' down
When you decide you want the love that once you could've had
Well that's gonna be to bad and you're gonna be sorry
You're gonna be sorry for all the dirty deals you've handed me
All the nights you stayed away you wished you'd spent with me
While you were busy makin' out, I was busy makin' plans for checkin' out
And when you find this out, you're gonna be sorry

You'll wake up cryin for me like I've done so many nights for you
You'll walk the floor and you'll call my name but I ain't gonna hear you
You'll curse the night and you'll hate yourself for ever doin' me wrong
But I'm gonna be long gone and you're gonna be sorry

You're gonna be sorry for all the dirty deals you've handed me
All the nights you've stayed away you wished you'd spent with me
While you were busy makin' out, I was busy makin' plans for checkin' out
And when you find I'm gone, you're gonna be sorry

You're gonna be sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

Sometimes I try to count the ways and reasons that I love you
But I can't ever seem to count that far
I love you in a million ways and for a million reasons
More than this I love you as you are
More than this I love you as you are

You are my inspiration, you are the song I sing
You are what makes me happy, you are my everything
You are my daily sunshine, you are my ev'ning star
Ev'rything I'll ever need or want, that's what you are
Ev'rything I'll ever need or want is what you are

You are my thoughts when I'm awake, my dreams when I'm asleep
You are the reason for my smile, you are the words I speak
Every role I play in life you play the leading part
Ev'rything I'd ever hope to find is what you are
Ev'rything I'd ever hope to find is what you are

You are my inspiration, you are the song I sing
You are what makes me happy, you are my everything
You are my daily sunshine, you are my ev'ning star
Ev'rything I'll ever need or want, that's what you are
Ev'rything I'll ever need or want is what you are

You are...
You are

Dolly Parton-You Are

Sometimes I try to count the ways and reasons that I love you
But I can't ever seem to count that far
I love you in a million ways and for a million reasons
More than this I love you as you are
More than this I love you as you are
Chorus:
You are my inspiration, you are the song I sing
You are what makes me happy, you are my everything
You are my daily sunshine, you are my ev'ning star
Ev'rything I'll ever need or want, that's what you are
Ev'rything I'll ever need or want is what you are

You are my thoughts when I'm awake, my dreams when I'm asleep
You are the reason for my smile, you are the words I speak
Every role I play in life you play the leading part
Ev'rything I'd ever hope to find is what you are
Ev'rything I'd ever hope to find is what you are

Repeat Chorus

Hello you said the day we met
Handing me a yellow rose
You asked me out
And to your surprise
And to mine I said I'd go
I thought it so romantic
And I found you sweet and bold
Though we'd only met
I still said yes
To a single yellow rose
And for years to come
You were the one
To sleep with me at night
To laugh and talk
And share my thoughts
And hold me when I'd cry
And on every occasion
And for no good reason to
A big bouquet or a single yellow rose
Was sent from you

Chorus:

Yellow roses
The color of sunshine
You loved me at one time
Why did you have to go
Yellow roses
Are you sending your new love
My bright yellow rose buds
I still love you so

I never see a yellow rose
That I didn't think of you
It's still my favorite flower
Though the yellow's turned to blue
The day you left my teardrops fell
Upon your farewell not
You said goodbye like you said hello
With a single yellow rose

Chorus:

Yellow roses
The color of sunshine
You loved me at one time
Why did you have to go
Yellow roses
Are you sending your new love
My bright yellow rose buds
Oh I still love you so

Yellow roses
The color of sunshine
You loved me at one time
Why did you have to go
Sweet yellow roses
Are you sending your new love
My bright yellow rose buds
I still love you so

Some men find her sexy, some men disagree
But if she's not, it's not because she doesn't want to be
She wears a push-up bra from Freddericks, five inch high heel shoes
Maybelline and Rubinstein, and Avon's best perfume
She's a working girl
Chorus:

She's a working girl, she is single and free
She's a mother and wife and she's proud to be
A working girl

Some find her to aggressive, she don't know how to stop
Cause she's the kind that don't look down until it's from the top
She's elegant and stylish, French perfume and a fur
Designer clothes by Halston and Diane Von Furstenburg
And she's a working girl

Repeat Chorus

She has taken her place among the tallest of trees
But she weeps like a willow when she's brought to her knees
Cause she's a working girl

You'll find her dressed according to standard uniform
Cause she must dress in comfort for the job she must perform
She has so many faces, she wears so many names
She goes so many places and she does so many things
Cause she's a working girl

Repeat Chorus

Fade:

Repeat Chorus Twice

Let's drink a toast to what might have been
To all that we were, but can't be again
And let's just be thankful we parted as friends
Here's to the past, let the future begin
Chorus:

Oh, and here's to you wildest dreams
And here's to your everything
May your life be blessed with sweet happiness
Baby, here's to your wildest dreams

I made a promise that I wouldn't cry
You go chase your rainbows, go on reach for the sky
But come hold me close now, look deep in my eyes
Tell me you love me, then kiss me goodbye

Repeat Chorus

I'll always love you and I'm on your side
In whatever you do, I will take pride

Repeat Chorus

Tag:

Baby, here's to your wildest dreams
Dreams, dream on, baby

Look how the wind carries the seed
See how the soil supplies what it needs
The rain falls, the sun shines and a flower breaks free
And it all works together, why can't we
And I have seen children at play in the park
Skin shades of ivory, red, yellow and dark
Well, my eyes saw colors their little hearts could not see
They were playing together, why can't we
Chorus:

Why can't we, why can't we
I can love you and you can love me
Why can't we, why can't we
Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
Why can't we

I had a dream about a lion and a lamb
They were playing together and there was peace in the land
And swords became plowshares 'cause there were no enemies
And I woke up and wondered, God why can't we

Repeat Chorus

Tag:

Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
Why can't we, M-M-M-M
Why can't we

Fresh scrubbed hot off the bus
Dressed up and feelin' good
Eyes full of stars
A heart full of dreams
Daisy Mae in Hollywood
Struttin' down the boulevard
The walkway of the stars
With a vision of her name in lights
Reflectin' off the cars
And dreamin' of a white limozeen
She wants to have a white limozeen
Well the days to come were long and dark
And the nights were hard and cold
She met the devil in the City Of Angels
But she never lost her soul
She kept her dreams close to her heart
Like a family photograph
She cried sometimes and died sometimes
But still knew how to laugh
Dreamin' of a white limozeen
Dreamin' of a white limozeen

Chorus:

Now she's a livin' her dreams
Like a movie queen
Diamond rings and all things good
From the breadlines to the headlines
She's the toast of Hollywood
White limozeen
White limozeen

Now she's really ridin' high
She's a woman of the world
But deep inside she never changed
She's the same old down home girl
And when the airplane brings the kinfolk
To visit for awhile
There's a friendly guy in a red bow tie
To take 'em around in style
He drives 'em in a white limozeen
She finally got a white limozeen

Chorus:

Now she's a livin' her dreams
Like a movie queen
Diamond rings and all things good
From the breadlines to the headlines
She's the toast of Hollywood

She was fresh scrubbed hot off the bus
Dressed up and feelin' good
Eyes full of stars
A heart full of dreams
Daisy Mae in Hollywood
She goes struttin' down the boulevard
The walkway of the stars
With a vision of her name in lights
Reflectin' off the cars
And dreamin' of a white limozeen
She finally got a white limozeen
Oh ridin' in a white limozeen

Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen

Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen

Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen

Whenever forever comes, when darkness shall hide the sun
I'll still be shining with love for you
When glory bells chime, my love will ring true
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my love will be yours always
Whenever forever comes, when all things are said and done
I'll still be feeling the same way I do
I'll be there for you and still wanting you
God gave you to me, and me to you
And you will still be the one whenever forever comes
We'll float on a cloud through eternity
You'll gather the stars, you'll give them to me
I'll give you the moon and we'll replace the sun
Whenever forever comes, whenever forever comes

What would I have ever done had I not had you to love?
You've given me more than I ever dreamed
Loving you more every day, so it seems
Greater than all other loves I have seen
Its essence will linger on whenever forever comes

We'll float on a cloud through eternity
You'll gather the stars, you'll give them to me
I'll give you the moon and we'll replace the sun
Whenever forever comes, whenever forever comes

A young couple marries, already fighting
Along comes baby makin' them three
Trouble's all he hears from the time he's in didies
Baby don't know just what to believe
Angry words and spiteful actions
Baby's gonna cut his teeth on these
If that's gonna be the main attraction
What will the baby be, what will baby be
Baby needs love and needs direction
Baby's first school is the family
For they are only a reflection
Of the things they see, what will baby be

Chorus:

What will baby be after baby is grown
What will baby do if baby don't know what's right or wrong
Got to show them love, got to teach them truth
'Cause what baby is when baby grows up
Well, that depends entirely on me and you
Depends entirely on me and you

Baby thinks God is just a curse word
Never said a prayer 'cause he's never been taught
They remember and repeat what they've heard
So I ask who's really at fault

So many questions, so few answers
So many lessons we don't teach
Stumbling through like clumsy dancers
What will baby be, what will baby be

2nd Chorus:

What will baby be after baby is grown
What will baby do when baby is out there on his own
Teach the children how to be all they should be
'Cause what baby is when baby grows up
Depends entirely on you and me
Depends entirely on you and me
What will baby be

You hurt me, you use me, you lie
You're heartless and hateful and cold
You don't care how you make me cry
You must have the last word
And be in control
What is it about you I love
You're selfish and stubborn and proud
You're arrogant, boastful and vain
You're careless and thoughtless and loud
A flirt and a tease
And you cause me such pain
What is it about you I love
What is it, what is it my love

Chorus:

There's something about you
That I seem to need
I have a hunger you know how to feed
And you satisfy me like nobody else
Those moments of heaven
Are worth all this hell

And I know you love me in your own crazy way
And I know you need me more than you can say
I may be a fool but I'll never give up
'Cause there's something about you I love
What is it, what is it my love

Chorus:

And there's something about me
That you seem to need
'Cause you have a hunger I know how to feed
And I satisfy you like nobody else
Those moments of heaven
Are worth all this hell

And I know in my heart that you want to be good
I understand that you're misunderstood
You're insecure and defensively tough
There's something about you my love
What is it, what is it my love
There's something about you
That I seem to need
What is it, what is it my love

(Dolly Parton)

I thought I saw the promise of forever in your eyes
I thought that I was sure of what I saw
You led me to believe that I was special in your life
So I left my heart wide open for the fall

I thought I'd found a safe and loving place inside your heart;
And I was warm and willing any time
The same soft lips that kissed me sweet were lying from the start
But I swear I thought your love was genuine
What a heartache you turned out to be

What a heartache, what a heartache,
Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep
Oh, what a heartache, what a heart break,
Love ain't always what it appears to be
Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be

It just goes to show that you never can tell
'Cause I really thought that I knew you well
I still can't believe I could be deceived so easily


Are all these wishes I'm wishin' to myself
Just rusty coins in a wishin' well?
Wishes come true, they come false as well
It's too late for you and me
Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be

What a heartache, what a heartache,
Love is two-faced and easy to deceive
Oh, what a heartache, what a heartache,
What a mistake to think I could believe
What a heartache, what a heartache,
Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep
Ooh, what a heartache you turned out to be
What a heartache, what a heartache,
What a heartache, what a heartache,
What a heartache.
Ooh, what a heartache you turned out to be
Ooh, what a heartache
Oh, what a heartache,
What a heart break you turned out to be

(Dolly Parton)

Oh, what a heartache,
What a heart break you turned out to be

Mmm....
We used to walk through fields of green
We used to sit by clear blue streams
We used to be so happy
Me and you

We used to do such silly things
We used to make love in the rain
We used to
Yes, we used to

Then you went away
Leaving me with the memories we made
Memories of those sweet yesterdays
Spent with you
Spent with you

And even though you're gone
I still think so often of you
And the things that we no longer do
Like we used to
Oh we used to

We used to be so much in love
We used to kiss and hold and touch
We used to find so many things to do

We used to laugh and plan and dream
We used to own the world it seemed
We used to
Yes we used to

Then you went away
Leaving me with the memories we made
Memories of those sweet yesterdays
Spent with you
Spent with you

Oh and even though you're gone
I still think so often of you
And the things that we no longer do
Like we used to
Oh we used to

La...mmm....
Ahh....

Mmm....

Then you went away
Leaving me with the memories we made

We three kings of Orient are, bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain moor and mountain following yonder star
Born a king on Bethleem´s plain, gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never over us all to reign
Star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading still proceeding guide us to Thy perfect light
Frankincense and moor have I, my gift of love and sacrifice
Prayer and praysing all men raising worshiping God most high
Oh, star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading still proceeding guide us ti Thy perfect light
We three kings of Orient are, bearing gifts we traverse afar,we three kings

I can hear the wind a blowin' in my mind
Just the way it use to sound through the Georgia pines
You were always there to answer when I'd call
You and me, we had it all
Remember how I use to touch your hair
Reaching for the feeling that was always there
You were the best thing in my life, I can recall
You and me, we had it all

I know that we can never live those times again
But I let my dreams take me back to where we've been
And I stay there with you just as long as I can
Oh it was so good
It was so good
It was so good when you were my man

But I'll never stop believing in your smile
Even though you didn't stay, it was all worth while
You were the best thing in my life I can recall
You and me, we had it all

I know that we could never get that far again
So I let these memories take me on back to where we've been
And I stay there with you just as long as I can
Oh it was so good, it really was
It was so good, oh oh
It was so good when you were my man

You were the best thing in my life I can recall
You and me, we had it all

Two little children a boy and a girl
Sat by and old church door
The little girls feet were as brown as the curl
That fell on the dress that she wore

The little boys clothes were all tattered and torn
They shone beneath his blue eyes
Why don't you go home to your mommy I said
And this was the maidens reply

Mommy's is heaven angels took her away
Left Jim and I all alone
We've no one to love us daddy is dead
And our darling mother is gone

Mommy got sick angels took her away
To dwell in those matins so bright
She said she would come for her children someday
And I guess she's coming tonight

The sexton came early to ring the church bell
And found them beneath the snow white
The angels made room for the orphans to dwell
Up in heaven with their mommy that night

Two little children a boy and a girl
Sat by and old church door
The little girls feet were as brown as the curl
That fell on the dress that she wore

The little boys clothes were all tattered and torn
They shone beneath his blue eyes
Why don't you go home to your mommy I said
And this was the maidens reply

Mommy's is heaven angels took her away
Left Jim and I all alone
We've no one to love us daddy is dead
And our darling mother is gone

Mommy got sick angels took her away
To dwell in those matins so bright

And I guess she's coming tonight

The sexton came early to ring the church bell
And found them beneath the snow white
The angels made room for the orphans to dwell
Up in heaven with their mommy that night

Two little children a boy and a girl

Two doors down
They're laughing and drinking and having a party
Two doors down
They're not aware that I'm around
But here I am crying my heart out feeling sorry
But they're having a party just two doors down

I think I'll dry these useless tears
And get myself together
I think I'll wander down the hall and have a look around
Cause I can't stay inside this lonely room and cry forever
I think I'd really rather join them two doors down.

Two doors down
They're laughing and drinking and having a party
Two doors down
They're all aware that I'm around
Cause here I am no longer crying and feeling sorry
Having a party just two doors down

I can't believe I'm standing here dry eyed, all smiles, and talking
Making conversation with the new love I found
I asked him if he'd like to be alone and we start walking
Down the hall to my place late
Two doors down.

Two doors down
They're laughing and drinking and having a party
Two doors down
We're not aware that they're around
Cause here I am feeling everything but sorry
Having a love party two doors down

Suppose you wanted someone the way I want you
Just imagine your body, mind and soul breaking in two
Walk the floor each night, shed tears you can't conceal
Just try being lonely, then you'll know just how I feel
I saw you with your new love and oh it hurt me so
Funny how I see your face everywhere I go
You smiled and looked to be so happy as you passed by
So I hurried around the corner so you wouldn't see me cry

Suppose you wanted someone the way I want you
Just imagine your body, mind and soul breaking in too
Walk the floor each night, shed tears you can't conceal
Just try being lonely, then you know just how I feel
Just try being lonely, then you know just how I feel

The man I loved ran a salesman route
Selling goods from house to house
Now I knew my mama would never stand
For me stepping out with no traveling man
Mama bought things that he was a'selling
But mama didn't know and I sure wasn't telling
That behind her back I was making plans
To meet somewhere with that traveling man
Oh the traveling man was a good bit older
But a girl needs arms to hold her
Mama didn't know 'cause I didn't told her
But mama wouldn't understand
Me stepping out with a traveling man

Mama didn't allow me a'going courting
And I'd tell lies that I reckon I oughtn't
Oh but she'd a'give me the back a' her hand
If she'd a'seen me with that traveling man
So I tell my mama that I reckon I oughta
Go to the spring and fetch us some water
What mama didn't know is I had a plan
To meet down there with that traveling man

Now I make plans to run away
With that traveling man on a Saturday
Well Saturday's here and here I stand
And there goes my mama with that traveling man

Oh that traveling man was a two-time lover
He took my love then he took my mother
But I didn't know 'cause mama didn't told me and I don't understand
My mama running off with my traveling man

Mama, you know you oughtn't a'done that
You just like my daddy
He run off before I ever knowed him
You done run-off with my traveling man
And I really don't think I ever knowed you either
Oh there goes my mama with my traveling man
And I'm really gonna miss that traveling man
Mm-hm

Oooh,OOh,Oooh-ooh,Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh-oh-oh-oh.
Well, I can't tell you where I'm going
I'm not sure of where I've been
But I know I must keep travelin'
Till my road comes to an end

I'm out here on my journey
Trying to make the most of it
I'm a puzzle I must figure out
Where all my pieces fit

Chorus

Like a poor wayfairing stranger
That they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim
Trying to find what feels like home

Well, that is no one can tell me
Am I doomed to ever roam
I'm just travelin' travelin' travelin'
I'm just travelin' on.

Questions I have many
Ansewers but a few
We're here to learn the spirit burns
To learn the greater truth

We've all been crusified
And they nailed Jesus to the tree
And when I'm born again
You're gonna see a change in me

God made me for a reason
And nothing is in vain
Redemption comes in many shapes
With many kinds of pain

Oh, sweet Jesus if you're out there
Keep me ever close to you
As I'm stumbling tumbling
As I'm traveling through

I'm just traveling traveling traveling.
I'm just traveling through ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.
I'm just traveling traveling
I'm just traveling through ooho ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.

Oh sometimes the road gets rugged
And it's hard to travelin' on
But hold in to each other
We don't have to work alone
When everything is broken
We can mend it if we try
We can make the world a difference
If we want to we can fllly.
Good-bye you little children
Good-night you handsome men
Farewell to all you ladies
And to all who knew me when...
And I hope I'll see ya down the road
You meant more than I knew
As I'm travelin' travelin' travelin' travelin' travelin' through
Drifting like a floating boat
And roaming like the wind

Oh give me some direction lord
Let me lean on you
As I'm travelin' travelin' through (Repeat, Repeat)
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Like the poor wayfaring stranger
That they speak about in song
I'm just like a weary pilgrim
Tryin' to find my own way home

Oh, sweet jesus if you're out there
Keep me ever close to you
As I'm travelin' travelin' travelin' through

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh travelin' through.

We can't always both be right
We sometimes disagree
But you've got the right to speak your mind
An' it's the same with me
When the anger's at an end
And you want inside my arms again
All you have to do to make it right is just
Chorus:

Touch your woman
Touch your woman
Everything's gonna be alright
Touch your woman
Touch your woman
Let me know, let me know everything's alright

There are times when I should be strong
When I'm awfully weak
When the sudden blows of life have brought me to my knees
Woman needs a helpin' hand
Needs someone to understand
Needs the man she loves to help her stand, so

Repeat Chorus

And when the busy day is done
You lay by my side
You know exactly what it takes to keep me satisfied
You know exactly what I need and I always go to sleep in peace
Thanking God that you belong to me, so

Repeat Chorus

Chorus:
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
I guess I should have known the worst was yet to come
And the crying time for me had just begun

Repeat Chorus Twice

Today I started loving you again
Today I started loving you
Today I started loving you again

Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
she never wanted to be more than
a mother and a wife
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
the only thing that seemed
to be inportant in her life
was to make a house a home and to make us happy
Mama never wanted anymore than what she had
if she did, she never did say so to daddy

He often left her alone,
she didn't mind the stayin' home
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
and she never missed
the flowers and the cards he never sent her
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
being took for granted was a that thing she accepted
and she didn't need those things to make her happy
and she didn't seem to notice
that he didn't kiss and hold her
if she did, she never did say so to daddy

One morning we awoke just to find a note
Mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
and as he began to read it out ears could not beleive it
the words she had written there to daddy
she said, "the kids are old enough,
they don't need me very much
I've gone in search for love I need so badly
I have needed you so long
but I just can't keep holding on"
she never meant to come back home
if she did, she never did say so to daddy

Good-bye to daddy

(Kevin Cronin)

I've been around for you
Been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
You've got me stealing your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peelin' the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

Time for me to fly
I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
I thought we were really in love
Oh but I'm tired of holding on


To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe I've had enough
I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of this jealousy and intoleration
I wonder why I even try
I believe it's time for me to fly

Time for me to fly
I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
Time for me to fly

Time for me to fly
I got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
That's just how it's got to be
I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
Time for me to fly
That's how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

Gonna tie our love in a double knot

To give our hearts a double shot

These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds
Verse 1:

Oh, she lived up on the mountain
Eleven miles or so from town
With a one-eyed cat named Wink,
A billy goat and a blue tick hound
Her graying hair was braided
And wrapped around her head
And her dress was long and faded
And her home a rusty shed

Verse 2:

In a little pouch of burlap
Tied with a piece of twine
There were bones all shapes and sizes
Gathered through the course of time
She'd throw them out before you
She swore that she could see
The present, past and future
She could read your destiny

Verse 3:

Everybody knew about her
Came to get their fortune read
Concerning health and wealth and power
Who to love and when to wed
Well, I just like helping people
I'm just glad that I can help
Why, I know everybody's secrets
But I keep it to myself

2nd Chorus:

These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds

Verse 4:
Some called her witchy woman
Some said she was insane
Some said she was a prophet
Still everybody came
Just because a body´s different
Well, that don't make 'em mad
Well, they've crucified a many
For the special gifts they've had

Verse 5:

I had often heard about her,
Dreamed about her now and then
For I, too, was clairvoyant,
Came about when I was ten
I was fascinated with her
And the things I'd heard about
And I knew some day I'd meet her,
And one day it came about

Verse 6:

Well, I know'd that you 'uz a'comin'
I could feel it in my bones
These old bones have also told me
That I won't be here for long
Did you know that you are adopted?
Did you know you once was mine?
But the county took you from me,
Said I wasn't right in mind

Verse 7:

But I just know'd I had to see you
'Fore these bones was laid to rest
So I conjured up a message
It must have worked, I guess
This gift runs in the family
I know you also know
And I passed this gift on to you
These old bones, they're just for show

3rd Chorus:

These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
How to live and when you'll die
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it's all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds

Verse 8:

I held her hand while she was dying
And with the funeral through
I headed on back up the mountain
For Billy, Wink and Blue
And that little pouch of burlap
With those bones so worn and old
She gave me something special
Now every time I throw

4th Chorus:

These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can't see with your eye
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it's all in how they scatter
Tells you what the future holds

Ad libs:

Now I can't tell you what you want to hear
I just tell you what I see
It's these old bones are talking
Blame it on them; don't pack it on me
It's just like that time that there boy died
Up at the sawmill
Well, I know'd who done it, but I never said
And I know'd when somebody is a cheating
Or when somebody's baby was gonna be born dead
But unless somebody just plain out and asked me
Well, I just figured there ain't no point going around acting like you know everything, just 'cause you might.
Ah, you know, girl, I want you to take these bones
'Cause I don't want no young and of mine are going around unprepared
You just remember that the magic is inside you
There ain't no crystal ball

You're gentle body lying here so close to me
As you move your hand slowly across my face
You're touch is as soft as the words you speak to me
What a love in the way I see you
I compare it with the beauty of the dawning
Or when the sun sets and paints its picture in the blue
Like a butterfly that has a million colors, all such beauty
Like the love in the way I see you

I compare it with the beauty of the dawning
Or when the sun sets and paints its picture in the blue
Like a butterfly that has a million colors, all such beauty
What a love in the way I see you

Now, people say I'm the life of the party
'cause I'll tell a joke or two.
Although I might be laughin' loud and hearty,
Deep down inside I'm blue.
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you'll look closer,
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.

I need you, need you.
But since you left me if you see me with another guy,
Seemin' like I'm havin' fun.
He might look good it's true
But he's a substitute 'cause you were the perfect one.

So take a good look at my face.
You'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer,
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.

I need you, I need you.
Outside I'm masqueradin',
'cause inside my hope is fading.
Like a clown since you put me down,
And my smile is my makeup I wear since my break up with you.

So take a good look at my face.
You'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer,
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.

Oh, just take a good look at my face.
You'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer,
It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears

I am a seeker
A poor sinful creature
There is no weaker than I am
I am a seeker
You are a teacher
You are a reacher
So reach down
Won't you reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me
In the shelter of your care each day
'Cause I am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way

I am a vessel that's empty and useless
I am a bad seed that fell by the way
I am a loser that wants to be a winner
And you are my last hope
Don't turn me away

Chorus:

I am a seeker
A poor sinful creature
There is no weaker than I am
I am a seeker
You are a teacher
You are a reacher
So reach down
Won't you reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me, Lord
In the shelter of your care each day
'Cause I am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way

Oh, I know you are a mountain
From which there flows a fountain
So let it's water wash my sins away
'Cause I am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way

I am a seeker
A poor sinful creature
There is no weaker than I am
I am a seeker
You are a teacher
You are a reacher
So reach down
Won't you reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me
In the shelter of your care each day
'Cause I am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way

I am a vessel that's empty and useless
I am a bad seed that fell by the way
I am a loser that wants to be a winner
And you are my last hope
Don't turn me away

Chorus:

I am a seeker
A poor sinful creature
There is no weaker than I am
I am a seeker
You are a teacher
You are a reacher
So reach down
Won't you reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me, Lord

Oh, I know you are a mountain
From which there flows a fountain
So let it's water wash my sins away
'Cause I am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way

There are so many things that I don't understand
And I search my mind to try to find an answer
But the more I search the less I seem to find out why
Like where where the wind goes, how does life begin
What happens when we die
The mystery of the mystery must stay unknown
Only God can know and man must not see
Great minds have tried but they will not find
The answer to the mystery of the mystery


Man will seek the mystic rails of the mystery
But their silent halls reveal not a sound
Many men will give their lives just to try to find
The answer to a mystery in their mind

The mystery of the mystery must stay unknown
Only God can know and man must not see
Great minds have tried but they will not find
The answer to the mystery of the mystery

Tonight I feel a chill in the air
As cold as that look on your face
I hear what you're saying but coming from you
Goodbye seems so out of place
Now how can you stand there and honestly say
There never wee any real promises made
Chorus:

The moon is my witness
The stars will agree
They all heard you promise
You'd always love me
I know that it's true
But it's hard to believe
You lied to the moon
The stars and me

And what about all of those warm tender nights
Did they mean nothing to you
And where are the feelings I thought that we shared
Or have you forgotten them too
Did you think I could just put your memory behind
When your words are still so very clear in my mind

Chorus:

The moon is my witness
The stars will agree
They all heard you promise
You'd always love me
I know that it's true
But it's hard to believe
You lied to the moon
The stars and me

The moon is my witness
The stars will agree
They all heard you promise
You'd always love me
I know that it's true
But it's hard to believe
You lied to the moon
The stars and me

I know that it's true
But it's hard to believe
You lied to the moon
The stars and me
You lied

My heart's as heavy as an anvil
My tears are puddled in my eyes
And time seems to be at a standstill
I've really got the lonesomes tonight
Feels like I'm never gonna make it
I'd like to lie right down and die
It's so very hard to fake it
I've really got the lonesomes tonight

Just like that old song by Hank Williams
I am so lonesome I could cry
Can't seem to shake these sad old feelin's
I've really got the lonesomes tonight
Cause I've really got the lonesomes tonight

Oooh, I'm pretty sad

Oh, I hope tomorrow will ring truer
And I'll awake and I will be all right
But right now I couldn't feel much bluer
Can't shake these lonely memories inside

Oh, but my heart's as heavy as an anvil
And my tears are all puddled in my eyes
My mind has really got its hands full
I've really got the lonesomes tonight
You got that right
I've really got the lonesomes tonight
But I'll be all right
I've really got the lonesomes tonight

The bridge, so high
The bridge, so tall
Here is where it started
On the bridge
The moon is big and yellow
And the stars are all a' glow
From the bridge, I see reflections
In the waters far below

You kissed me for the first time here
An' held me awfully tight
And the bridge became our favorite place
We came here often in the night

And one night while standing on the bridge
Desire swept through us both
Passion took us by the hand
And showed us where to go

From the bridge we saw a meadow
So we ran together there
Where we found love together
Our emotions filled the air

The bridge, so wide
The bridge, so long
Where once we stood together
Tonight I stand alone

Tonight, while standing on the bridge
My heart is beating wild
To think that you could leave me here
With our unborn child

My feet are moving slowly
Closer to the edge
Here is where it started
And here is where I'll end it...

My life is likened to a bargain store
And I may have just what you're looking for
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
With a little mending it could be as good as new

Why you take for instance this old broken heart
If you will just replace the missing part
You would be surprised to find how good it really is
Take it and you never will be sorry that you did

(chorus)
The bargain store is open, come inside
You can easily afford the price
Love is all you need to purchase all the mechandise
And I can guarantee you'll be completely satisfied

Take these old used memories from the past
And these broken dreams and plans that didn't last
I'll trade them for a future, I can't use them anymore
I've wasted love, but I still have some more

(chorus)

My life is likened to a bargain store
And I may have just what you're looking for
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
With a little mending it could be as good as new

The bargain store is open, come inside...

Maybe because it's too good to be true
Maybe because I want it so much
Maybe I fear you don't really mean it
For I feel I'm never enough
But I want you more
Than I ever wanted
Anything I can recall
But something inside
Keeps saying you'll hurt me
Do I dare to trust it at all

Chorus:

Teach me to trust
Darling you must
Or else I'll go out of my mind
When I'm not near you
I always fear you
Have somebody else on the line

Is it a fear
Or is it a knowing
A jealousy born out of truth
'Cause I watch you flirt
And it's how you embrace
Them with your eyes
That say I could lose

2nd Chorus:

Teach me to trust
Make me feel loved
Tell me I've no need to fear
Just make me feel safe
Whatever it takes
Tell me what I need to hear

'Cause I need to feel
Important and special
Your cherished and only true love
And sometimes I think
I'll die from this feeling
If you don't teach me to trust

Tag:

Can't you reach me
And teach me to trust

(Karen Staley)

Well this big city life is gettin' me down
There's just too many people around
There's dirt in the air and crime in the street
High-rise buildings and cold concrete
This rat race sure enough takes a toll
I wanna run off to my fishin' hole
Take me back take me back
Take me back to the country
Take me back take me back
Take me back to the country

Where the stars at night
Outshine those city lights
Take me back to the country
Where the eagles fly
And the treetops touch the sky
Take me back to the country

This traffic jam is makin' me mad
I miss the simple life I had
Peace and quite runnin' free


I wanna go home to my family
I'm sick of the clock, sick of the phone
Out in the country my time's my own
Take me back take me back
Take me back to the country
Take me back take me back
Take me back to the country

Where the stars at night
Outshine those city lights
Take me back to the country
Where the eagles fly
And the treetops touch the sky
Take me back to the country

Where the stars at night
Outshine those city lights
Take me back to the country
Where the eagles fly
And the treetops touch the sky
Take me back to the country
Take me back to the country

Verse 1:
Up on Sugar Hill we'd go walkin'
Hand in hand while the south wind blowed
Bob whites callin', black crows cawkin',
Countin' the warts on a toad in the road
Down in the mill pond swimming naked
Showin' more than we should have showed
We were just kids explorin' nature
Learning more than we should have knowed

Chorus:

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealing sugar on the mountainside
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than candy and cake and pie

Verse 2:

A yellow dress slipping off of my shoulder
Seein' myself in the looking glass
Older now and a little bit bolder
Thinkin' about our summers past
Up on Sugar Hill we'd go walkin'
Hand in hand up the mountainside
Teenage lovers plannin' and talkin'
Dreamin' of a future for you and I

2nd Chorus:

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealin' sugar on the mountain top
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than ice cream and soda pop

(Turnaround)

Verse 3:

Years have past, we're married with children
Our days are happy and our memories fond
We still find it quite appealin'
To go to Sugar Hill and swim naked in the pond

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealin' sugar on the mountaintop
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than ice cream and soda pop

Down it's memory lane I go walking still
What it means to me is more than I can measure
Golden moments up on Sugar Hill

Sound of katydids and the whipperwill
Honeysuckle blooming and a mountainstream is flowing
A little spot of heaven up on Sugar Hill

Black crows cawkin', and the soft wind blows
Up on Sugar Hill there are love birds talkin'
Up on Sugar Hill where the good times roll

Stealing sugar on the mountainside
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than candy and cakes and pies

Momma moved out
Daddy sold the house
They split up the money
And went on their way
And all the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't put mommy and daddy back together again
Chorus:

Starting over again
Where should they begin
'Cause they've never been out on their own
Starting over again
Where do you begin
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids are all grown
And the whole world cries

Got an apartment
She moved in with her sisters
He's scheming big deals with one of his friends
While she sits at home
Just sorting out pieces
Of left over memories
From thirty odd years

2nd Chorus:

Starting over again
Where do you begin
You've never been out on your own
Starting over again
Never any end

What will the neighbors say?
They're talking talk, its small town news
Facing fifty years old
Making up a happy home
And this far down the road
You find yourself alone
Two fools

3rd Chorus:

Starting over again
Now where do you begin
When you've never been out on your own
Starting over again
Never any end
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids are all grown
And all the king's horses
And all the king's men
Could never put mommy and daddy back together
Back together, again

(Jimmy Page/Robert Plant)

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed,
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Oh-oh, makes me wonder. I wonder; I really, really wonder
There's a feelin' I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leavin'
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand lookin'
Ooh.
It's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason,
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow don't be alarmed now.
It's just a spring clean for the May queen


Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still some time to change the road you're on
Oh, it makes me wonder
Your head is hummin' and it won't go in case you don't know,
The piper's callin' you to join him
Oh, can you hear the wind blow
And did you know your stairway lies upon the whisperin' wind
Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven
You can't buy it, you can't borrow
You've got to walk it straight and narrow
Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven
And as we walk on down the road
Our shadows longer than our souls,
All that glitters is not gold
Wanna be a rock and not a roll
Oh, the great almighty dollar leaves you lonely, lost and hollow
You can't fool yourself forever
You gotta work to get to heaven
Stairway to heaven.
If we listen and hold fast
To every question that we asked
The truth will come to us at last
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

He's got a way of walkin'
He's got a way of talkin'
A way to fascinate me all the time
And he's got a way with women
A way to keep my head a swimmin'
He's got away too many times
Chorus:

Ooh, speakin' of the devil
Well, here he comes now
Lookin' like an angel
Got my defenses down
He's got me dreamin'
Got me schemin'
Ooh, speakin' of the devil
He is drivin' me wild
With that wicked little grin
And that fire in his eyes
He's got me dreamin'


Got me steamin'
Ooh, speakin' of the devil
It feels mighty close to heaven
And I'd go through hell to make him mine

He's got his spell upon me
Got to be his one and only
Burning with passion and desire
Ooh, I'm caught up in all his magic
It surely would be tragic
To never share the heat
From all this fire

Repeat chorus twice

Speakin' of the devil
Speakin' of the devil
I'd go through hell to make him mine

You may not know it
I don't always show it
But you're so important to me
So much that we've shared
You've always been there
I hope you always will be
Chorus:

'Cause you are something special, ooh-wee
Yes, you are something special to me

When I'm around you
The love that surrounds you
Brings comfort and warmth to my heart
A God-given treasure
You give me such pleasure
You are a true work of art

Chorus:

Yes, you are something special, yes indeed
Yes, you are something special to me

Bridge:

You're the wind 'neath my wings
Like the song that they sing
But there's so many things that you are
An angel in my life
You are the sunlight
And you hung the moon and the stars
Yes, you're special

Turnaround

Chorus:

Yes, you are something special, ooh-wee
Yes, you are something special, yes indeed
Yes, you are something special to me
MM-MM

Fade:

You are something special
MM-MM, you're something special
You are something special

There must be something fishy going on
You said you were goin' on a fishin' trip with some old friend
You said that you'd be home tonight somewhere around ten
Well here it is, it's two o'clock and you're still not at home
I think there's something fishy goin' on

I think that I'm a sucker that's swallowing your line
I try to make myself believe that it's all in my mind
But you never asked me if I'd like to go along
So there must be something fishy goin' on

Chorus:

There's something fishy goin' on
On these fishin' trips you're goin' on
I'm gettin' tired of stayin' home alone

Some night when you come home and discover that I'm gone
You can bet there's something fishy goin' on

I guess some large-mouth bass left that lipstick on your shirt
I don't think you're a fisherman, honey
I think you're a flirt
Well if you're goin' fishin' then why don't you bring 'em home
I think there's something fishy goin' on

Repeat Chorus

Tag:

Yes, you can bet there's something fishy goin' on

I just wanna be somebody's everything

You say I've seen too many movies,watched way too much TV
Read too many fairy tales that I live and make believe
You say the kind of love I'm dreamin' of does not exist
And there's no one like I'm searching for
Well I believe there is

And I want someone to come alive when they lay eyes on me
Have a lust within thier touch, a passion far beyond belief
Reality and fantasy should be one in the same
And I want to be somebody's everything

I refuse to settle for someting less than great
And if it takes a lifetime, then that's how long I'll wait
Cause all I want is everything
Is that too much to ask?
Have romance, love, and passion
Find magic that will last

And I want someone to think they're dyin' if they can't be with me
I want to be their joy, their pride, their dreams, the very air they breathe
I'd like to wake up feeling loved and go to bed the same
Yes, I want to be somebody's everything
Somebody's everything

Oh, I want someone to come alive when they lay eyes on me
Have a lust within thier touch, a passion far beyond belief
I'd like to wake up feeling loved and go to bed the same
Yes, I want to be somebody's everything

Someone to hold me close and tremble when the lovin's done
Think it's Heaven, call me Angel, think I hung the moon and sun
Get misty-eyed just knowin' we're the love song people sing
Yes, I want to be somebody's everything
And I want to be somebody's everything

I wanna be, I'm gonna be somebody's everything
I wanna be, I wanna be somebody's everything
Somebody's everything
Somebody's everything
Yes, I wanna be, I'm gonna be somebody's everything

When I left I left walkin' wounded
I made my escape from the rain
Still a prisoner of hurt
I had months worth of work
Just freein' my mind of the pain
I had hours of sittin' alone in the dark
Listenin' to sad songs and comin' apart
Lord knows I made crying an art
Woe is a slow healing heart
Chorus:

A slow healing heart dyin' to mend
Longin' for love lonely again
But when the spirit is broken
And the memories start
Nothin' moves slower
Than a slow healing heart

How I prayed for blind faith to lead me
To places where I'm not afraid
Now I'm doin' fine both in body and mind
Some hurts take longer to fade
But there's a part of my feelings ever on guard
Against looks that are tender and words that are hard
'Cause I still remember those cutting remarks
Oh it's painful a slow healing heart

Chorus:

A slow healing heart dyin' to mend
Longin' for love lonely again
When the spirit is broken
And the memories start
You know nothin' moves slower
Than a slow healing heart
Nothin' moves slower
Than a slow healing heart

Sweet little cherry blossom, blooming before her time
Moving her lips to her favorite song, cherishing every rhyme
Swaying her hips to the rhythm, humming along with the tune
Lost in her own little dream world, slow dancing with the moon
Watching her I cannot help but go back in my mind
And suddenly I find I am 15 again
Slow dancing with the moon
Oh, the stars got in my eyes long time ago
And I've lived my life like a love sick clown
In a bittersweet cartoon
Just a dreamy-eyed kid slow dancing with the moon
Watching the girl I'm reminded she's quite a lot like me
Trapped in the suburbs of wonderland, lost in her own fantasy
Somehow my heart never grew up, no one ever burst my balloon


So here I am swirling in star dust slow dancing with the moon

Still believe someday my wildest dreams will all come true
And I'll find someone who'll make me 15 again
But until then I'm slow dancing with the moon
Oh, the stars got in my eyes long time ago
And I've lived my life like a love sick clown
In a bittersweet cartoon
Just a dreamy-eyed kid slow dancing with the moon

Tag:

Still a starry-eyed kid slow dancing with the moon

Single bars and single women
With a single thought in mind
Just to make it till the morning
Looking for what they can find
For a man they won't remember
For a night they can't forget
Do you come to this place often?
May I light your cigarette?
Drinkin' beer in Amarillo
Passing time and swaping jokes
Hoping for a new beginning
But beginning to lose hope
And you're waiting for that moment
When a glance becomes a stare
Mmm, what's that perfume that you're wearing?
Haven't I met you somewhere?

Find a matchbook in the morning
With a name and number scrawled
When you phone, a woman answers
And you wish you'd never called
Oh, they're friendly when they meet you
But they're strangers when they go
Ahh, do you mind if I come join you?
Would you like to dance one more?

And it's gettin' near to closing
And the seconds pass like years
Lots of friends to share the laughter
Not a one to share the tears

Oh and you wish they'd change that juke box
Cause you know every song it plays
Can I drop you off at my place?
Oh, what's the matter, are you gay?
You gotta twenty in your pocket
Got your toothbrush in your purse
Life could get a whole lot better
But it better not get worse

Single bars and single women
With a single thought in mind
Just to make it till the morning
Looking for what they can find

You may not know me now but I have been around
You'll never see my name on any pages
I'm just a common man the fool who understands
The pain you go through when life takes you under

So sing for the common man a song for the common man
He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow
He will survive he will survive

You may not know my mother my sisters and my brothers
Yet everyone has given for the other
You know the working man he builds what others plan
So everyone of us should sing his story

So sing for the common man...

Day after day he keeps working away in offices factories and farms
Year after year he sheds tear after tear but he will provide he will survive

So sing for the common man...
Sing for the common man...
Sing for the common man...

I don't want your lonely mansion
With a tear in every room
All I want is the love you promised
Bring me the halo moon
But you think I should be happy
With your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow
While you play your cheating game

Chorus:

Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrow
In the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money
For I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine

Repeat Chorus

Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine

(Carl Perkins/Greg Perkins/Stan Perkins)

Well, I met an old man walkin' down the street
His clothes were torn and tattered
With sandals on his feet
And I stopped to help him
And lend him a hand
He said, I love you so much
But you must understand

Silver and gold might buy you a home
But things of this world
They won't last you long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back with silver and gold

And he said to me, let's rest for awhile
For I have some good news to share with you, child
He said, you can't change this old world
The people need to know
That a dear savior died here
A long, long time ago



Silver and gold might buy you a home
But things of this world
They won't last you long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back with silver and gold

His eyes shown like diamonds
And his smile was heaven sent
His hair was long and flowing
And his back was slightly bent
And I knew he knew it
For that day I changed
As I watched him walk on
I forgot to get his name

He said, silver and gold can't buy you a home
When this life has ended
And your time is gone
But you can live in a world where
You'll never grow old
And things can't be bought there with silver and gold

And time can't be bought back with silver and gold

You got a snazzy new car in your driveway
Expensive new clothes on your back
Every short skirt on the highway
Has spent time in your bachelor pad

We dance and you look over my shoulder
And make eyes at somebody else
You swear that you're not, but you know that's a croc
Cause you only care for yourself

Your attitude stinks and I hate it
You're arrogant, cocky, and rude
You're selfish, conceited, and jaded
Everything's all about you
You think that I'm lucky to have you
You think you're so handsome, so what
I'm callin' you out cause I don't need this crap
I'm gettin' myself outta Dodge

Cause you don't know love from Shinola
With you love is not what I found
A woman needs someone to hold her
Not someone to just lay her down
I want someone I can count on
A cool headed, warm heart and shoulder
To cry on, rely on, today and from now on
But you don't know love from Shinola

You don't know love from Shinola

Oh but I gave you love and affection
But you never gave one iota
It was an early detection
That you don't know love from Shinola

You don't know love from shinola
You don't know what true loves about

Well you'll find your world growin' colder
When you're alone and without
So go on, lover boy, have a big time
Drink up on your Bourbon and cola
When you sober up you'll be *beep* outta luck
Cause you don't know love from Shinola

I'm in it for love, but you're just plain stuck
You don't know love from Shinola

You don't know love, you don't know love
You don't know love from Shinola
No, you don't know love from Shinola
You don't know love, you don't know love

Gimme a word, gimme a sign
Show me where to look
And tell me what will I find
What will I find
Lay me on the ground
Fly me in the sky
Show me where to look
And tell me what will I find
What will I find

Yeah, oh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine

Love is in the water
Love is in the air
Show me where to go
And tell me will love be there
Will love be there
Teach me how to speak
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
And tell me will love be there
Will love be there

Yeah, oh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine

Gimme a word, gimme a sign
Show me where to look
And tell me what will I find

Lord, teach me how to speak
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
And tell me will love be there
Will love be there

Yeah, oh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine

Oh, heaven let your light shine down
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
Heaven let your light shine down

Heaven let your light shine down
Shine, heaven let your light shine down
Heaven let your light shine down

Shine, shine
Just gimme a word
Gimme a sign, shine
Let it shine, let it shine
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
Tell me will love be there, shine

I know you think you love her and you're making plans to leave
But I must tell you something I just hope you'll believe
I know it isn't real love that you see in her eyes
Cause she's never met a man she didn't like
And you're no different from the others
A new acquaintence in the night
You mean no more to her than all the others she's held tight
But I know she's convinced you it was love at first sight
But she's never met a man she didn't like

I must let you go but I want you to know
That I love you please don't let her ruin our lives
For there'll be other men and she won't want you then
She's never met a man she didn't like

I must let you go but I want you to know
That I love you please don't let her ruin our lives
For she'll have other men oh and she won't want you then
Cause she's never met a man she didn't like
Oh no she's never met a man she didn't like

I used to sit for hours as a kid
And dangle my feet from an old flat bridge
Seeing myself in the water below
Shatter my image with the rocks I'd throw
Shatter my image with the rocks I'd throw
Long time gone and a long time ago
When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw

I'm far from perfect but I ain't all bad
And it hurts me more than it makes me mad
We all do things that we don't want told
And we all throw stones that we shouldn't throw
You shatter my image with the rocks you throw

Long time gone and a long time ago
When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw

If you live in a glass house don't throw stones
Don't shatter my image 'til you look at your own
Look at your reflection in your house of glass
Don't open my closet if your own's full of trash
Stay out of my closet if your own's full of trash

Long time gone and a long time ago
When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw

Shatter my image with the rocks you throw
Don't shatter my image with the rocks you throw

There are stars in the southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight and moss in the trees
Down the seven bridges road
I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there is a part of me
Has to turn from here and go
Runnin' like a child from these warm stars
Down the seven bridges road

There are stars in the southern sky
And if ever you decide you should go
There is a taste of time sweet as honey
Down the seven bridges road
There are stars in the southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight and moss in the trees
Down the seven bridges road
Down the seven bridges road

(Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman)

You can dance
Every dance with the one that gives you the eye
Let 'em hold you tight
You can smile
Every smile for the one that holds your hand
In the pale moonlight
Just don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
So, darlin' save the last dance for me
Oh I know
That the music's fine like sparklin' wine
Go and have your fun
Laugh and sing
But while we're apart, don't give your heart to anyone
Just don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me

Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much

You can dance
Go and carry on till the night is gone


'Till it's time to go
If she asks
If you're all alone, can she take you home
You must tell her no

And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me

Just don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me
Ooh, darlin', save the last dance for me

You can dance
Every dance with the one that gives you the eye
And let 'em hold you tight
You can smile
Every smile for the one that holds your hand
In the pale moonlight
Just don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms your gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me
Ooh, darlin', save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me

Chorus:
Satin sheets to lie on
Satin pillows to cry on
Still I'm not happy don't you see
Big long Cadillacs, tailor maids upon my back
Still I want you to set me free

I've found another man
Who can give more than you can
Though you've given me everything that money can buy
But your money can't hold me tight
Like he does on a long long night
No, you didn't keep me satisfied

Repeat Chorus Twice

Satin sheets to lie on

Oh! You better watch out,
you better not cry,
you better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!

He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He sees you when you're sleeping,
he knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been bad or good,
so be good for goodness sake!

So...You better watch out, You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm Telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
Little tin horns, little toy drums.
Rudy-toot-toot and rummy tum tums.
Santa Claus is coming to town.


Little toy dolls that cuddle and coo,
Elephants, boats and Kiddie cars too.
Santa Claus is coming to town.


The kids in Girl and boy land
will have a jubilee.
They're gonna build a toy land town
all around the Christmas tree.


Ohh....You better watch out, you better not cry.
You better not pout, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Got a crazy, restless feelin'
I cannot be consoled
Got an itchy urge to up and run
I think I've lost control
You do something to me
Something that I really can't explain
I ain't felt like this since I'ze a kid
And I never thought I'd feel this much again
Chorus:

I've got that runaway feelin'
Like to grab you up
Just run off, footloose and fancy free
Yeah, that thought's appealing
That runaway feelin's let my feelin's run away with me

I get all swimmy-headed everytime I look at you
Though love has blurred my vision, I still enjoy the view
Like Elvis and his hound dog, in a deep fog
I keep a'runnin' after you
I thought I'd been in love before
But before doesn't matter anymore

Repeat Chorus

Ah, run with it, boys

Repeat Chorus

Tag:

I've got that runaway feelin' (runaway)

Hey kids now I know you all know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donder and Blitzen
But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all
(Rudolph) that's right Rudolph
He was the one with the big red nose that everyone make fun of
Everyone there is except Santa

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it why you would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names
They'd never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games

Until one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say
Hey Rudolph with your nose so bright won't you guide my sleigh tonight
Then how the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer you'll go down in history

Then one foggy Christmas Eve...
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer...
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer you'll go down in history
