I'm not through with loving you it's just that you're gone Nothing I can say or do can undo what's done You took my heart along when you went away I gave all my love I'll get it back some day
In the river of time I'll forgive and forget Sweet peace of mind will be just round the bend I'll stay afloat on the tears that I've cried And let them memories all go down the river of time
I'll never be over you just over the pain Moments of hope will shine through the hours of rain I'll count 'em every one till I start to lose track I'll make it through this night and get the morning back
In the river of time... Down the river of time down the river of time
Stars are fallin' and the moon is shinin' bright I can feel the teardrop in my eye One last kiss my darlin', remember me kind And always bear in mind someday we may meet again
Goodbye my love, goodbye, be glad we had the try I'm never, never, never, never, never, never, never givin' up on love I'm never, never, never, never givin' up on love
Somewhere out in this big wide world someone is waitin' So I'm never, never, never, never givin' up on love No, I'm never, never, never, never givin' up on love
Someday my darlin' will come to me and say "I will love you darlin' till I die" We will come together and we'll know right away Love will ring and ring and ring like bells in the sky
Goodbye my love, goodbye, be glad we had the try I'm never, never, never, never, never, never, never givin' up on love I'm never, never, never, never givin' up on love
Somewhere out in this big wide world someone is waitin' So I'm never, never, never, never givin' up on love No, I'm never, never, never, never givin' up on love Never, never, never, never givin' up on love
I met a lady in my drifting days I quickly fell under the spell of her loving ways A rose in the desert I loved her so In the land of enchantment, New Mexico
We watched the sunset by the Rio Grande A mission bell, rang farewell, she took my hand She said, "Come back amigo, no matter where you go To the land of enchantment, New Mexico"
From her arms I wandered far across the sea I often heard her gentle words haunting me Come back amigo, I miss you so To the land of enchantment, New Mexico
Come back amigo, no matter where you go To the land of enchantment, New Mexico
You're out tonight with someone new You think I'll stay right here and wait for you This time you're wrong I'm almost gone Walking out the door is all I've got left to do
I'm gonna get so lost I'm gonna find myself again I'm gonna drift away like woodsmoke in the wind
There's a place I know high up in the snow Waitin' for me like a long lost friend And there I'll build a fire as I watch the flames grow higher I'll give this heartache time to mend
I'm gonna get so lost I'll find myself again I'm gonna drift away like woodsmoke in the wind Gonna get so lost I'll find myself again I'm gonna drift away like woodsmoke in the wind
As I watch the seasons turn I wonder what I've learned I wonder if I'll ever love again Does it always end the same is love a dying flame That drifts away like woodsmoke in the wind
Man only sees what he wants to see I saw you loving me No ties to unwind, no promises to bind When the dawn set us free
One night of moonlight and roses Was all that I saw in you Man only sees what he wants to see But the heart knows the truth Oh, the heart knows the truth
Man only hears what he wants to hear I heard me say goodbye I didn't listen to what my heart whispered I still wonder why
I told myself it didn't matter That I'd forget about you A man only hears what he wants to hear But the heart knows the truth Ooh, oh, the heart knows the truth Ooh, the heart knows the truth
Man only sees what he wants to see Now I see you in my dreams Man only hears what he wants to hear I hear you call my name
Moonlight like Mexican silver Turns the red rose to blue The night wind whispers you'll always be mine But the heart knows the truth
Ooh, oh, the heart knows the truth Ooh, the heart knows the truth
Oh, the heart knows the truth Oh, the heart knows the truth
Oh, the heart knows the truth Oh, the heart knows the truth
Gonna buy some wood every size and length Gonna build it good using all my strength Gonna clear the land where the house will be And start another branch of the family tree
Gonna chalk a line and lay a walnut floor Build the walls of pine and hang a cherry door I'll cut the beams above from mahogany And I'll get the love from the family tree
I've wandered far and I've walked alone Till the morning star finally led me home Now I'm here to stay where I was meant to be Living in the shade of the family tree
Gonna fill this place like my daddy did With a friendly face and a bunch of kids Even though he's gone he's a part of me As I carry on this family tree
Girl, the wind may blow and the clouds may come Bringing ice and snow, blocking out the sun The earth may quake and the ground may freeze They will never shake this family tree
I've wandered far and I've walked alone Till the morning star finally led me home Now I'm here to stay where I was meant to be Living in the shade of the family tree
Mama look at him, don't he look like me He's the latest limb on the family tree
Now I'm here to stay where I was meant to be Living in the shade of the family tree Now I'm here to stay where I was meant to be Living in the shade of the family tree
