In the twilight glow I see her
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
As when we kissed good-bye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again
Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Now my hair has turned to silver
All my life I've loved in vain
I can see her star in heaven
Blue eyes Crying in the rain
Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Ooh... do-do-do-ooh-ooh-do-doo-ooh-ooh
A love song of the waterfall, ooh-ooh
I hear through virgin timberto-o-op
The love song of a waterfall, ooh-ooh
And there in May rose through the tree-ee-ees
A love song born upon the breeze, ooh-ooh
Plunging over rugged rocks
Hear the water slide
Bound to be where-ere you are
Dear ones, here am I
This is heaven's mating ca-all
A love song of the waterfall, ooh-ooh
Ooh... do-do-do-ooh-ooh-do-doo-ooh-ooh
A love song of the waterfall, ooh-ooh
Ooh... do-do-do-ooh-ooh-do-doo-ooh-ooh
A love song of the waterfall
Ooh... do-do-do-ooh-ooh-do-doo-ooh-ooh
I danced with an a-a-ange-el
On a night 'neath the stars
Cowboys were singin'
And playin' guitars
The song they were play-ay-ayin'
Was a beautiful waltz
They called it Bander-er-er-era
The Bandera Waltz
The music so sweet
Seemed to whisper to me
She loves me, she loves me
What else could it be
She's gone and left me-ee
With a love that was fa-alse
I'll remember Bander-er-er-era-a-a-a-a
And the Bandera Waltz
The music so sweet
Seemed to whisper to me
She loves me, she loves me
What else could it be
She's gone and left me-ee
With a love that was fa-alse
I'll remember Bander-er-er-era-a-a-a-a
Wise men say, only fools rush in.
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay, would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes,
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Rainbows are gettin' back in style
There's sunshine everywhere and I'm learnin' how to smile
The only time it rains is to cool things for a while
But since I met you, I can't forget you and rainbows are back in style
There's not a thing in this world I'd rather do to just sit, stare at your face
You're so pretty that you made the world a whole lot happier place
Well, life's worth livin' and the love you're givin'
Has made me feel this way and rainbows have chased the clouds away
Rainbows are gettin' back in style
There's sunshine everywhere and I'm learnin' how to smile
The only time it rains is to cool things for a while
But since I met you, I can't forget you and rainbows are back in style
Well, your name is like music and I can't help singin' it over and over again
This happy feelin' has got me thinkin' it's heaven I'm livin' in
Well, the love we share puts magic in the air and every dream comes true
And rainbows have turned my skies to blue
Rainbows are gettin' back in style
There's sunshine everywhere and I'm learnin' how to smile
The only time it rains is to cool things for a while
Once I had a secret love
That lived within
the heart of me
All too soon
my secret love
Became impatient
to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers
often do
Just how wonderful
you are
And why I'm so
in love with you
Now I shout it
from the highest hill
Even told
the golden daffodils
At last my heart's
an open door
And my secret love's
no secret anymore
Now I shout it
from the highest hill
I Even told
the golden daffodils
And lost my heart's
an open door
And my secret love's
no secret
My secret love's
no secret
My secret love's
{Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea}
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
{She sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue}
Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more
{Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea}
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more
{Red sails in the sunset}
Way out on the sea (ooh-wee-ooh, wee-ooh)
Oh, carry my loved one
If you listen I'll sing you a sweet little song
Of a flower that's now droped and dead,
Yet dearer to me, yes than all of its mates,
Though each holds aloft its proud head.
Twas given to me by a girl that I know,
Since we've met, faith I've known no repose.
She is dearer by far than the world's brightest star,
And I call her my wild Irish Rose.
My wild Irish Rose, the sweetest flower that grows.
You may search everywhere, but none can compare with my
wild Irish Rose.
My wild Irish Rose, the dearest flower that grows,
And some day for my sake, she may let me take the bloom
from my wild Irish Rose.
They may sing of their roses, which by other names,
Would smell just as sweetly, they say.
But I know that my Rose would never consent
To have that sweet name taken away.
Her glances are shy when e'er I pass by
The bower where my true love grows,
And my one wish has been that some day I may win
The heart of my wild Irish Rose.
My wild Irish Rose, the sweetest flower that grows.
You may search everywhere, but none can compare with my
wild Irish Rose.
My wild Irish Rose, the dearest flower that grows,
And some day for my sake, she may let me take the bloom
I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced him/her to my loved one and while they were
dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
(Instrumental Break)
I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced him/her to my loved one and while they were
dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through
I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
We spent the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
Drifting alont with the tumbling tumbleweed...
I'm a roving cowboy, riding all alone
Tumbleweeds around hum a lonely song
Nights underneath the starry moon
I ride alone and hum a tune
See them tumbling down
Pledging a love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go, but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
I know when night has gone
Here on the range where I belong
So I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
Oh you tell me that you love me yes you tell me that you
care
That tomorrow we'll be married but tomorrow's never there
Oh tomorrow never comes no tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me but tomorrow never comes
Many weeks now have I waited many long nights have I
cried
Just to see that happy morning when I'd have you by my
side
[ guitar ]
So tomorrow I'll be leaving yes tomorrow I'll be gone
Oh tomorrow you'll be weeping but tomorrow never comes
I love you because you understand dear
Every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a halping hand dear
I love you most of all because you're you
No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you cause you're you
[ steel - guitar ]
No matter what may be the style or seasons
I know your heart will always be true
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
Sunset glow fades in the west,
Night o'er the valley is creeping!
Birds cuddle down in their nest,
Soon all the world will be sleeping,
And now is the hour when we must say goodbye,
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea,
While you're away, o, then remember me,
When you return, you'll find me waiting here,
True lovers often must part,
Kiss me, then leave me to sorrow!
Here love, i give you my heart,
You will return some glad morrow,
But now is the hour when we must say goodbye,
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea,
While you're away, o, then remember me,
There's a village hidden deep in the valley among the
pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning little Jimmy Brown was
born
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley
town
And the songs that they were singing was for baby Jimmy
Brown
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from
above
Lead us not into temptation bless this hour of
meditation guide him with eternal love
There's a village hidden deep in the valley beneath the
mountains high above
And there twenty years thereafter Jimmy was to meet his
love
All the chapel bells were ringing twas a great day in
his life
For the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and
his wife
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from
above
Lead us not into temptation bless oh Lord this
celebration
May their lives be filled with love
From the village hidden deep in the valley one rainy
morning dark and grey
A soul which wait in the heaven Jimmy Brown had passed
away
Just the lonely bell was ringing in the little valley
town
Twas there well it was singing to our good old Jommy
Brown
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from
above
Lead us not into temptation may his soul find this
I can't stop loving you so I've 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
Those happy hours that we once knew
So long ago still make me blue
They say that time heels a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
Cara Mia, why must we say goodbye?
Each time we part my heart wants to die.
Darling hear my prayer,
Cara Mia, fair.
I'll be your love till the end
(Till the end of.)
of (till the end of) time.
(Cara Mia mine. Cara Mia mine.)
(Cara Mia mine. Cara Mia mine.)
Cara Mia why (doo-doo-doo-doo),
Must we say goodbye?
Each time we part my heart wants to die.
Darling hear my prayer, (doo-doo-doo-doo),
Cara Mia, fair.
I'll be your love till the end
(Till the end of)
of (till the end of) time.
(Cara Mia mine. Cara Mia mine.)
(Cara Mia mine. Cara Mia mine.)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.) Ca-oh-oh.
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.) Ohah.
(Each time we part my heart wants to die.)
Die.
Darling hear my prayer, (doo-doo-doo-doo),
Cara Mia, fair.
I'll be your love till the end
(Till the end of)
of (till the end of) time.
(Cara Mia mine. Cara Mia mine.)
(Cara Mia mine. Cara Mia mine.)
(Cara Mia mine. Cara Mia mine.)
Mine.
(Cara Mia mine. Cara Mia mine.)
(Instrumental intro)
Oh Rose, my Rose Marie
Oh Rose Marie I love you
I'm always dreaming of you
No matter what I do I can't forget you
Sometimes I wish that I'd never met you
And yet if I should lose you
T'would mean my very life to me
Of all the queens that ever lived I'd choose you
To rule me my Rose Marie
Of all the queens that ever lived I'd choose you
To rule me my Rose Marie
Of all the queens that ever lived I'd choose you, yes I'd choose you
If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down
If you miss me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
I'm tired of cry-why-yin'
And all her lie-ie-iein'
That's why I'm buy-why-in'
A china doll
Her eyes are blu-you-uer
Her faults are few-ewer
Her lips are tru-uer
My china doll
I'd rather have a doll of clay
That I could call my own
Than someone else just like you
With a heart of stone
She'll never lea-eave me
She'll not decei-eive me
And never grie-ieve me
My china doll
No tears or sor-orrow
No sad tomorr-orr-orrow
No one can borr-orr-ow
My china doll
Her eyes are blu-you-uer
Her faults are few-ewer
Her lips are tru-uer
My china doll
I'd rather have a doll of clay
That I could call my own
Than someone else just like you
With a heart of stone
She'll never lea-eave me
She'll not decei-eive me
And never grie-ieve me
Why must I love the heartless one
Who'll never know the harm she's done
Though love is blind I should have known
Just call me lonesome from now on
I climb the stairs up to my room
But no one meets me in my gloom
The silence tells me she's gone
Just call me lonesome from now on
[ steel ]
These walls will hide me when I cry
And hope that heaven lets me die
What good is life when hope is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on
I pray my memories at last
Will fade into the distant past
If I must live and love alone
Ramblin' rose ramblin' rose
Why you ramble no one knows
Wild and wind blown that's how you've grown
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose
Ramble on yes ramble on ramble on
When you're ramblin' days are gone
Who will love you with a love true
When you're ramblin' days are through
Born to lose I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only caused me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
Born to lose it seems so hard to bear
How I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
[ piano ]
There's no use to dream of happiness
All I see is only loneliness
All my life I've always been so blue
Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
In a lonely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
Made me a slave to my wand'ring ways
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
Oh I met a girl in a border town
I vowed we'd never part
Tho' I tried my best to settle down
She's now alone with a broken heart
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
Will you try and see my old sweetheart who lives across the way
I'll do as much for you someday
There's no reason why a love like ours should ever go astray
I'll do as much for you someday
I call her but she's never home she returns my mail
I try my best to see her but all my efforts fail
Maybe you can have a talk with her and touch things up okay
I'll do as much for you someday
[ piano - steel ]
Somebody told a story and I think it hurt her pride
If she would only listen I'd prove somebody lied
Tell her she's my one and only one it's always been that way
I feel so bad, I got a worried mind;
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes;
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday, come what may to Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue
Bayou
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I
could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd
Gonna see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll be happy then on Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday, gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine on Blue
Bayou
Oh that girl of mine by my side, the silver moon and the
evening time
Oh, on some sweet day, gonna take away this hurtin'
inside
I'd never be blue, my dreams come true
Woo - hoo - woo - ooo - ti - de
Woo - hoo - ooo - oop - i - de - de
Woo - hoo - woo - ooo - ti - de
Yod - el - od - el - lo - ti - de.
The cattle are prowlin' the coyotes are howlin'
Way out where the dogies bawl
Where spurs are a - jinglin', a cowboy is singin'
This lonesome cattle call.
He rides in the sun 'til his days work is done
And he rounds up the cattle each fall
Woo - hoo - woo - ooo - ti - de
Singin' his cattle call.
For hours he will ride on the range far and wide
When the night winds blow up a squall
His heart is a feather in all kinds of weather
He sings his cattle call.
He's brown as a berry from ridin' the prairie
And he sings with an ol' western drawl
Woo - hoo - woo - ooo - ti - de
Down in the valley
Valley so low
Late in the evenin'
Hear the train blow
Hear the train blow, love
Hear the train blow
Late in the evenin'
Hear the train blow
Write me a letter
Send it by mail
Send it in care of
Birmingham Jail
Birmingham Jail, love
Birmingham Jail
Send it in care of
Birmingham Jail
Roses love sunshine
Violets love dew
Angel in Heaven
Know I love you
Know I love you-ou
Know I love you-ou, ou-ou, ou-ou-ou-ou
Angels in Heaven
Know I love you
Down in the valley
The valley so low
Late in the evenin'
Hear the train blow
Hear the train blow, love
Hear the train blow
Late in the evenin'
Memories that linger in my heart memories that make my
heart grow cold
But some day we'll live them all again and my blue moon
again will turn to gold
Your lips that used to thrill me so your kisses were
meant for only me
In my dreams we'll live them all again but my golden moon
is just a memory
When my blue moon turns to gold again and the rainbow
turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again you'll be back
within my arms to stay
[ guitar ]
The castle we built of dreams together was the sweetest
stories ever told
You know maybe we could live them all again dark blue
moon again will turn to gold
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through
I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
We spent the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I might live a little longer dear
A sick mother said to her son
I will leave you when the roses dissappear
They're fading one by-y one
Then the boy got down to pray
And his prayer started in this way
Please paint a rose o'er the garden wall
So mum will think summer's still here
The doctor said she
Would be taken from me
When the roses dissappeared
She'll think the painted flower is real
It will give her new courage somehow
So please paint a rose by the garden wall
So mama won't leave me now
[Spoken:]
You know they say that
A boy's best friend is his mother
And I for one know that it's true
They'll stay by your side when there's no other
And guard you when you're alone and blue
So is it asking to much dear God
To spare me these heartaches, these tears
Won't you please paint a rose on the garden wall
So my mum will think summer's still here
She'll think the painted flower is real
It will give her new courage somehow
So please paint a rose on the garden wall
(You're the reason I don't sleep at night)
I just lay here at night toss and I turn
Longing you so how my heart yearns
Honey you're the reason I don't sleep at night
Walking the floor feeling so blue
Yearn for your charms sweet kisses too
Honey you're the reason I don't sleep at night
I'm bettin' you're not losing sleep over me
But if I'm wrong don't fail to call come over and keep me company
Sometimes I go for a walk take a look at the moon
Strum my guitar sing our love's tunes
Honey you're the reason I can't sleep at night
(You're the reason I don't sleep at night)
(Just out of reach of my two empty arms)
Love that runs away from me dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on bothering me chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Each night in dreams I see your face mem'ries time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you gone I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
[ guitar ]
That lonesome feeling all the time knowing you could not be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep vows that we could never keep
So far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
No other arms no other lips no other love of you
We've had our stormy weather we've had our sunshine too
We've shared them both together and I'm still here with you
Sometimes I made you happy sometimes I made you blue
But love kept us together and I'm still here with you
No other arms no other lips no other one beside me
No other star up above to guide me
Someday you'll go to heaven as all the angels do
I'll find my way to heaven so I'll be there with you
Pardon me, if I'm sentimental
When we say goodbye-ye
Don't be angry with me should I cry-y-y
When you're gone, yet I'll dream a little dream
As years go by-y-y
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how-ow to love and now-ow
Now you say we're through
I'm a fool, but I love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how-ow to love and now-ow
Now you say we're through
I'm a fool, but I love you dear
Until the day I die-ie
I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart
And as the door of love between us closes
Tears will fall like petals when we part
I begged you to be different but you'll always be untrue
I'm tired of forgiving now there's nothing left to do
So I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart
(I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart)
I know that I should hate you after all you've put me through
But how can I be bitter when I'm still in love with you
I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
Like you'd never been held before
I'll pray for you each day and then I'll dream the night away
Till you are in my arms once more
The stars up in the sky know the reason why
I feel so blue when I'm away from you
I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
So darling please wait for me
[ whistle ]
I sit alone here waitin', waitin' for the line 2 ring,
Rehearsing every word i'll say 2 u,
It's been a cold empty day just like the one u went away,
& i'm longin' 4 what 2morrow has in view,
I'm reachin' out 2 hold u but you're nowhere in sight,
It's been oh so long since you've gone,
My faith relies on memories when the sun doesn't shine,
It's been oh so long since you've gone u say it's not 4ever,
But that's precisely how it feels,
As i count the days like a child in december,
They say with joy there's always sadness let's not 4 get the
Pain,
But when we meet again, we'll make it like r 1st september
I don't know how much longer i can make it alone,
It's been oh so long since you've gone
It took a lifetime 2 find u now i'm left on my own,
It's been oh so long since you've gone
I'd give up all my treasures, i'd walk an endless mile,
2 bring 4th r precious rendezvous
Where love'll never die
I pray that u believe me,
I pray u understand, i've got a lifetime of love in my hand,
I'm reachin' out 2 hold u but you're nowhere in sight,
It's been oh so long since you've gone,
My faith relies on memories when the sun doesn't shine,
It's been oh so long since you've gone
It took a lifetime 2 find u
(Instrumental intro)
Oh Rose, my Rose Marie
Oh Rose Marie I love you
I'm always dreaming of you
No matter what I do I can't forget you
Sometimes I wish that I'd never met you
And yet if I should lose you
T'would mean my very life to me
Of all the queens that ever lived I'd choose you
To rule me my Rose Marie
Of all the queens that ever lived I'd choose you
To rule me my Rose Marie
Of all the queens that ever lived I'd choose you, yes I'd choose you
It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
A world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all
[yodelling]
There is just one moon
And one golden sun
A smile brings
Friendship to everyone
Though mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world a-a-after all
It's a small world after all
[yodelling]
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world a-a-after all
It's a small world after all
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world
[yodelling]
I cry myself to sleep each night wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
The pillow where you lay your head now holds my lonely tears instead
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone
Yes it keeps right on a hurtin' every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone
(Yes it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone)
They say a man should never cry but when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
You broke my heart and set me free but you forgot your memory
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone
Here I stand, watching the tide go out
So all alone and blue
Just dreaming dreams of you
I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea
Taking all my dreams
And taking all of me
The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Eight weeks ago tonight we parted
It's so hard to realize we're through
When we quit you said you'll always love me
Now I wonder if you feel the way I do
I'll ne'er forget our days together
Even though we know they're very few
I loved you then and will forever
And I wonder if you feel the way I do
It's just strange to stand the sweetest love, dear
That two people ever knew
You told me that I need not weary
That forever you'd be true
Through this dreary world alone I wander
My thoughts will always be of you
But it seems to me there's no use livin'
I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces how can I be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
[ piano ]
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
Till I waltz again with you
Let no other hold your charms
If my dreams should all come true
You'll be waiting for my arms
Till I kiss you once again
Keep my love locked in your heart
Darling, I'll return and then
We will never have to part
Though it may break your heart and mine
The minute when it's time to go
Remember Dear, each word divine
That meant I love you so
Till I waltz again with you
Just the way we are tonight
I will keep my promise true
For you are my guiding light
Till I waltz again with you
Keep my love locked in your heart
Darling, I'll return and then
We will never have to part
Though it may break your heart and mine
The minute when it's time to go
Remember Dear, each word divine
That meant I love you so
Till I waltz again with you
Just the way we are tonight
I will keep my promise true
For you are my guiding light
My light, my light
I will keep my promise true
I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying
Darling this will be goodbye forever more
There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes class my everything
As my class mem'ry turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
Now the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door
Slim Whitman recorded this as did 'Somethin' Smith and
the Redheads'
It's a sin to tell a lie
Be sure it's[G] true when you [F#]say I [G]love you
It's a sin to [B7]tell a [C]lie
[D7]Millions of hearts have been [G]broken
[A7]Just because these words were [D7]spoken
I love [G]you, yes I [F#7]do, I [G]love you
If you break my [B7]heart I'll [C]die
So be sure it's [Cm7]true when you [G]say I love [E7]you
It's a [A7]sin to [D7]tell a [G]lie
'Cross my heart and I hope to die,
I'll never, never, never tell another white lie
'Took a little doll out on a date last night,
Next to her Gravel Gerdy woulda looked allright
I'm between the devil and the deep blue sea
'Cause I said 'Baby you look good to me'
I told her I loved her, but oh how I lied
Now she's getting set to be my blushing bride
If she leads me to the alter then I'm sunk
Cause I can't tell the preacher I was drunk
Lord have mercy on a no-account sinner
Give me one more chance to let another guy win her
Cross my heart and I hope to die
We have been gay, going our way
Life has been beautiful, we have been young
After you've gone, life will go on
Like an old song we have sung
When I grow too old to dream
I'll have you to remember
When I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
(Orchestral Interlude)
So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen and walked away with your heart
From a jack to a king with no regrets I stackled the cards last night
And Lady Luck played her hand just right and made me king of your heart
For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye
From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an Ace and I won a Queen you made me king of your heart

Well I never felt more like singing the blues cause I
never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear
why'd you do me this way
Well I never felt more like crying all night
Cause everything's wrong and nothing ain't right
Without you
you got me singing the blues
The moon and stars no longer shine the dream is gone I
thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do but cry-I-I-I-I over
Well I never felt more like running away but why should
I go cause I couldn't stay
Without you,
you got me singing the blues
Well I never felt more like singing the blues cause I
never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear why'd you do me this way
Well I never felt more like crying all night
Cause everything's wrong and nothing ain't right
Without you you got me singing the blues
The moon and stars no longer shine the dream is gone I
thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do but cry-I-I-I-I over
Well I never felt more like running away but why should
I go cause I couldn't stay
Without you,
Now the hacienda's dark the town is sleeping
Not the time has come to part the time for weeping
Vaya con dios my darling may God be with you my love
Now the village mission bells are softly ringing
If you listen with your heart you'll hear them singing
Vaya con dios my darling may God be with you my love
Wherever you may be I'll be beside you
Although you're many million dreams away
Each night I'll say a prayer a prayer to guide you
To hasten every lonely hour of every lonely day
Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow
But the memories we share are there to borrow
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Could I tell you once again somehow?
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you?
Well darling I'm telling you now
Have I told you lately when I'm sleeping
Every dream I dream is you somehow?
Have I told you why the nights are long
When you're not with me?
Well darling I'm telling you now
My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I'm no good without you anyhow
Yeah have I told you lately that I love you
Well darling I'm telling you now
My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I'm no good without you anyhow
Well have I told you lately that I love you
Well darling I'm telling you now
You ask how much I need you
Must I explain
I need you oh my darling
Like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you
I'll tell you true
Until the twelfth of never I'll still be loving you
Hold me close
Never let me go
Hold me close
Melt my heart like April snow
I'll love you 'till the blue bells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'till the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you 'till the poets run out of rhyme
Oh, until the twelfth of never
And that's a long long time
Until the twelfth of never
I'll take you home again, Kathleen
Across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been
Since you were first my bonnie bride.
The roses all have left your cheek.
I've watched them fade away and die
Your voice is sad when e'er you speak
And tears bedim your loving eyes.
Oh! I will take you back, Kathleen
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I'II take you to your home again!
I know you love me, Kathleen, dear
Your heart was ever fond and true.
I always feel when you are near
That life holds nothing, dear, but you.
The smiles that once you gave to me
I scarcely ever see them now
Though many, many times I see
A dark'ning shadow on your brow.
To that dear home beyond the sea
My Kathleen shall again return.
And when thy old friends welcome thee
Thy loving heart will cease to yearn.
Where laughs the little silver stream
Beside your mother's humble cot
And brightest rays of sunshine gleam
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo
When I'm calling you
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo
Will you answer too?
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo
That means I offer my life to you to be my own
If you refuse me I will be blue, waiting all alone
But if when you hear my love call ringing clear
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo
And I hear your answering echo so dear
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo
Then I will know our love will become true
You'll belong to me and I'll belong to you
Then I will know our love will become true
Yi-pi-yi-yo (yi-pi-yi-yo), Yi-pi-yi-ay (yi-pi-yi-ay)
Ghost riders in the sky
An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
A-plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry
Yi-pi-yi-yo (yi-pi-yi-yo), Yi-pi-yi-ay (yi-pi-yi-ay)
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they haven't caught 'em yet
They've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear them cry
The riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a-ridin' on the range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies
Yi-pi-yi-yo (yi-pi-yi-yo), Yi-pi-yi-ay (yi-pi-yi-ay)
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
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
It's you it's you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
Yes I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy Oh Danny boy I love you so
But when you come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead and dead I may well be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say and Ave there for me
And I shall hear though soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
When the sun shines on the mountain
And the night is on the run
It's a new day
It's a new way
And I fly up to the sun
I can feel the morning sunlight
I can smell the new-mown hay
I can hear God's voice is calling
For my golden sky light way
Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away
Once I had my share of losing
For they locked me on a chain
Yes they tried to break my power
Oh I still can feel the pain
Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
When you said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
You said there'd be no sorrow
And you'd laugh when I walked away.
But a little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down.
Well, I said I'd laugh when you left me
Full of funny as you went out the door
You said you'd have another one waiting
To wave goodbye as I go.
But a little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down.
--- Instrumental ---
Well everything went out like I planned it
Yes, you really put on quite a show
Well, I've thought that I was gonna stand it
Oh, when I walked to the door.
Oh, a little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down.
A little bitty tear let me down.
You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all some day;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
You told me once, dear
You really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me
And love another
You have shattered all my dreams;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Louisiana my Louisiana
the place where I was borne.
White fields of cotton
-- green fields clover,
the best fishing
and long tall corn;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Crawfish gumbo and jambalaya
the biggest shrimp and sugar cane,
the finest oysters
and sweet strawberries
from Toledo Bend to New Orleans;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Well once I met a pretty little girl and she was fair to
I fell in love with a pretty little girl she fell in love
with me
I kissed her on her dimpled chin while stars in heaven
did play
But along come a howl in that old north wind and carried
her away
North wind north wind bring my baby back again
North wind where did she go nobody but you will ever know
[Instrumental]
It seems I hear her calling me and when I answer back
I find it's just that old north wind a whistlin' round my
shack
Each night before I go to sleep down on my knees I pray
That the old north wind come a howlin' by and carry me
away
North wind north wind bring my baby back again
North wind where did she go nobody but you will ever know
