Some people walk some people crawl some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forward some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in white some wrapped in fearful black
Time oh time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
Some people never get some never give some people never die and some never
live
Some folks treat me mean some treat me kind
Most folks just go their way don't pay me any mind
Time oh time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
Sometimes I'm satisfied sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold sometimes it's hot
Sunset I laugh sunrise I cry midnight I'm in between and wondering why
Well mama go a tippy tippy toein' through the house
Gotta see what's the matter with the baby
It's been a bawlin' and a squallin' and a kickin' on the wall
Well I guess it's dropped its little bottle maybe
Oh daddy come a runnin' with the water right away
Gonna need another little diaper maybe
No need a hesitatin' or a wond'rin' and a waitin' I know what's the matter with baby
Oh mama rock a baby daddy rock a baby too it's a yawnin' and a gettin' sleepy maybe
So mama keep a rockin' daddy rock a little too and at last it's a sleepin' little baby
[ guitar ]
Well mama tippy toein' daddy tippy toein' too gonna try to do a little sleepin' maybe
Whether it'll be a minute or an hour or two is depending entirely on the baby
Well I hear the clock a ringin' just a dongin' and a dingin'
Daddy go and make a little money maybe
I sleep a little longer don't you worry while you're gone
I'll take good care of the baby
Oh mama rock a baby...
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything
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 my everything
As my memory turns back the pages
I can see the happy tears we had before
Now the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of the door
There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
I took one look at you and all at once I knew
I'm yours my whole life through completely
Your smile's so tenderly your kiss was heavenly
You took control of me completely
Your torch is like a fire burning deep inside my mind
Your lips are like a flame in the night
I feel your breath I hear your sigh and in your arms I find
Having you and loving you just must be light
If you should go away my life would end that day
Like dreams that slip away completely
[ steel ]
You are my treasure and my darling I possess
The world's greatest treasure the treasure of happiness
Your smiles are my pearls and the touch of your lips are so warm and rare
Your eyes are my diamonds and my gold is the gold in your hair
Earth has its treasures of fabulous wealth untold
And who can measure the treasure the oceans hold
But wherever it be underneath the sea or the sky above
There is no treasure like the treasure of your love
(You are my treasure)
There was a time when I thought I could find happiness in silver and gold
(The world's greatest treasure)
And I longed for fame and wordly acclaim
And I hunger for these things filled my very soul
But then you came along and now I know I was wrong
For in your eyes I can see the greatest treasure in all the world
The treasure of your love for me
Why do you like to roam
You've got so much love at home?
What makes a man wander?
What makes a man wander?
The whistle of a train
Do something to your brain
What makes a man wander?
What makes a man wander?
I know you love me as much
As you ever could love anyone yet you're still gone
You come back and you vow that you settle down now
Then you're gone with the dawn
Why do you like to roam
You've got so much love at home?
What makes a man wander?
What makes a man wander?
I know you love me as much [unverified]
What makes a man wander?
Until these arms of mine surround you all the time
I'll keep on dreaming until my dreams come true
Until your heart can see what burns inside of me
I'll keep on dreaming until my dreams come true
Every day I cry a lonely tear a tear of love especially just for you
Until my fantasy becomes reality I'll keep on dreaming until my dreams come true
I've never seen the inside of a barroom or listen to a jukebox all night long
But I see these are the things that bring you pleasure
So I'm gonna make some changes in our home
I've heard it said if you can't beat 'em join 'em
So if that's the way you've wanted me to be
I'll change if it takes that to make you happy
From now on we're gonna see a different me
Because your good girl's a gonna go bad
I'm gonna be the swingi'est swinger you've ever had
If you like 'em painted up hollered up then you oughta be glad
Cause your good girl's a gonna go bad
[ guitar ]
I'll even learn to like the taste of whiskey in fact you'll hardly recognize your wife
I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy
For my journey to the wilder side of life
Because your good girl's...
You really know how to make a girl cry don't you
You really know how to make a girl sigh don't you
You don't know too much about things like being true and wedding rings
But you really know how to make a girl cry
You really know how to make a girl love you even when she knows you don't care
And you really know how to keep her searchin' for love never was there
You really know how to make a girl fall don't you
And stay home praying you'll call don't you
You don't know too much about things or how it feels to love in vain
But you really know how to make a girl cry
[ dobro ]
You really know how to make a girl cry don't you...
“The cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Galatians 6: 14
Courtesy of Old Rugged Cross Historical Museum
The Old Rugged Cross was writ ten in Al bi on, Mi chi gan. Or Po ka gon, Mi chi gan. Or Stur geon Bay, Wis con sin. All three towns claim to be the birth place of this hymn.
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
Refrain
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
Refrain
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.
Let's take time out to get aquainted again
We're man and wife we might as well be friends
You don't kiss me like you used to kiss me
Sometimes I take that there must be somebody new
And when I come home at night you act like you didn't even miss me
Lately honey I've even had my doubts about you
We used to face the world and life together
We used to talk of our ambitions and our dreams
But lately we've been takin' our love for granted
We have time for everything except each other it seems
Let's take time out...
[ steel ]
Let's go away and spend some time together
And see if that old spark of love's still burning bright
I want us to be close you know like we used to be
And not just two ships that pass each other in the night
(Bill Anderson)
I reached out my hand and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I had you right on the tip of my fingers
But that was as close as I came,
My eyes had a vision of sweet lips yielding beneath my command
I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands
But I let it slip right through my hands,
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
And I should have known from the start
It's a long long way from the tip of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart,
I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands
He's not my problem anymore it ended when he walked out the door
Now someone else must try to do all the things I couldn't do
But that's not my problem anymore that's not my problem anymore
It feels so good to get him off my mind unhappiness is all he left behind
And I never was quite sure what that boy was searching for
But that's not my problem anymore no that's not my problem anymore
It's someone else's problem now to keep him satisfied
And I hope she figures out of way and never has been tried
Someday he may be happy but I'll know for sure
But that's not my problem anymore it ended when he walked out the door
Now someone else must try to do all the things I couldn't do
I come home every night and she meets me with a great big kiss
And she says I love you and how was your day
She brings me my slippers cooks my dinner and holds my hand
And vows her love for me won't ever fade away
Tell it like it was tell it like it was
Not like it is cause it ain't no more tell it like it was
I told her once I was born with a restless streak in me
But she laughed it off and said honey you're just a man
Go where you have to go do what you have to do
I love you and I'll wait for you and I'll understand
Tell it like it was...
[ steel ]
I called her up last night from down in Mexico
She said baby it's cold tonight and I'm alone
I'm not gonna hold anybody I'm not gonna kiss anybody
I'm saving me for you till you get home
Tell it like it was tell it like it was...
Precious Lord, take my hand,
Lead me on, help me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;
Through the storm, through the night,
Lead me on to the light:
Take my hand, precious Lord,
Lead me home.
When my way grows drear,
Precious Lord, linger near,
And when my life is almost gone,
Hear my cry, hear my call,
Hold my hand lest I fall:
Take my hand, precious Lord,
Lead me home.
When the dark appears
And the night draws near,
And the day is past and gone,
At the river I'll stand,
Guide my feet, hold my hand:
Take my hand, precious Lord,
Lead me home.
Take my hand, precious Lord,
TAKE ME TO YOUR WORLD
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)

If you can find it in your heart to just forgive
I'll come back and live the way you wanted me to live
All I want is just to be your man
Please come and get me and take me to your world
Take me to your world away from barrooms filled with smoke
Where I won't have to serve a drink or hear another dirty joke
All I want is just to be your man
Please come and get me and take me to your world
Take me to your world make me forget the things I've heard
Where people say I love you and love is not a dirty word
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change but it won't
'Cause you don't love me no more
You need so much but not from me
Turn your back in my hour of need
Something's wrong
But you pretend you don't see
I think I interrupt your life
When you laugh it cuts me just like a knife
I'm not your friend
I'm just your little wife
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change but it won't
If you don't
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change but it won't
'Cause you don't love me no more
They never laugh, not like before
She takes the keys, he breaks the door
She cannot stay here anymore
He's not in love with her anymore
The bruises they will fade away
You hit so hard with the things you say
I will not stay to watch your hate as it grows
You're not in love with someone else
You don't even love yourself
Still I wish you'd ask me not to go
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change but it won't
If you don't
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change but it won't
'Cause you don't love me no more
He takes a drink, she goes inside
He starts to scream, the vases fly
He wishes that she wouldn't cry
He's not in love with her anymore
He makes demands, she draws the line
He starts the fight, she starts the lie
But what is truth when something dies
He's not in love with her anymore
You're not in love with someone else
You don't even love yourself
Still I wish you'd ask me not to go
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change but it won't
If you don't
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change but it won't
'Cause you don't love me no more
They never laugh, not like before
She takes the keys, he breaks the door
She cannot stay here anymore
He's not in love with her anymore
He takes a drink, she goes inside
He starts to scream, the vases fly
He wishes that she wouldn't cry
He's not in love with her anymore
He makes demands, she draws the line
He starts the fight, she starts the lie
But what is truth when something dies
He's not in love with her anymore
She's had enough, she says the end
But she'll come back, she knows it then
A chance to start it all again
(Bill Anderson)
Who is the biggest fool of the two
You for loving me or me for loving you.
We were both just out on the town
Both of us just killing time
When almost before I knew it
Your lips found their way up to mine.
And now here we are doing things
We both know we shouldn't do
And darling I wonder just which one of us
Is the biggest fool of the two.
Who is the biggest fool of the two
You for loving me or me for loving you.
Tomorrow we know
We've got to forget this somehow
But in your arms tomorrow
Seems almost forever from now.
But baby you've got another
The same as I do
And it all just makes me stop and wonder
Which one of us is the biggest fool of the two.
Who is the biggest fool of the two
You for loving me or me for loving you.
[ Jan ]
Once I stood in the night with my head bowed down
In the darkness as black as the sea
And my heart felt alone and I cried oh Lord don't hide your face from me
Hold my hand all the way every hour every day from here to the great unknown
Take my hand let me stand where no one stands alone
[ steel ]
I may live like a queen in a palace so tall with great riches to call my own
But now there's not a thing in this whole wide world that's worse than being alone
Hello stranger you look familiar you remind me of someone I used to love
But I guess stranger if I look longer you won't even resamble the one I'm thinking of
He has such warm tender loving hands while yours are very friendly to my touch
And like you even wore golden wedding band oh stranger I loved him so much
Well I guess you think I'm crazy goin' on like this
Cause you know I know you're one and the same
And it's been so long now I just hope you're happy
With the one who did and still shares your name
[ steel ]
You emptied all my pockets you took away my gold
You stripped me of my innocence and left me in the cold
You robbed me of my patience
And you messed up my mind
But we're gonna stick together babe cause a truer love you'll never find than mine
You set my very soul on fire and burned it to the ground
You took my lovely little world and turned it upside down
You robbed me of my patience
And you messed up my mind
But we're gonna stick together babe cause a truer love you'll never find than mine
Ain't done one single thing this morning except for crying all night long
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till you come home
Nothin's been the same since you left me everything has gone from right to wrong
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till you come home
Smiles of yesterday now find me cryin' the red and golden rainbow turned to blue
With every breath I take I feel like dyin'
Life just ain't worth livin' when I ain't got you
Each and every day I've spent without you is one more hurtin' lonely day too long
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till you come home
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
(Don Chapel)
When you left I thought that I would soon get over you
Even told myself that I would find somebody too
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.
Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.
--- Instrumental ---
Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute I'm alive I'm hurting through and through
And as long as I live I know I won't be free
I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.
I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so
And anyone can tell you think you know me well but you don't know me
No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend that's all I've ever been but you don't know me
For I never knew the art of making love though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by the chance you might have loved me too
You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away with teardrops in my eyes
You'll never never know the one who loves you so no you don't know me
I had the key to heaven when we married
And for a while I brought you happiness
But now your love for me is dead and buried
And every night you share another's kiss
And I'd rather be the one you slip around with
Than be the one whose dream of love is gone
Yes, I'd rather be the one you spend your time with
Than be the one at home all alone
How many tears must fall before I learn
I think of many ways that I could grieve you
And yet I'm always here when you return
But I'd rather be the one you slip around with
Than be the one whose dream of love is gone
Yes, I'd rather be the one you spend your time with
A year ago today I felt like dying as unloved and unwanted as a heart could be
But time has a way of changing yesterday now the hurtin's all over all over me
Yes the hurtin's all over all over my body
It started in my heart and it's spread all over me
Father time did his part took the hurt out of my heart
Now the hurtin's all over all over me
Now my arms ache to hold you like they used to do
And my eyes ache for the love light they no longer see
How I miss your caress how my lips ache to be kissed
Yes the hurtin's all over all over me
I can't stop cryin' I can't stop hurtin'
For you can't stop lyin' and you won't stop flirtin'
I can't stop hopin' you love me true and I can't stop cryin' until you do
I can't forget you I tried before but to be without you just hurts me more
I can't stop prayin' you love me true and I can't stop cryin' until you do
Heartache number 1 was when you... left me,
I never knew that I could hurt this way,
And heartache number 2,
Was when you... come back again,
You came back and never meant to stay.
Chorus
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
Troubles by the score,
Every day you love me less,
Each day I love you more,
Yes, I've got heartaches by the number,
A love that I can't win,
But the day that I stop counting,
That's the day my world will end.
Heartache number 3 was when you... called me,
And said that you was coming back to stay,
With hopeful heart I waited,
For your... knock on the door,
I waited but you must have lost your way.
Don't worry bout me it's all over now though I may be blue I'll manage somehow
Love can't be explained can't be controled one day it's warm next day it's cold
Don't pity me for feeling blue don't be ashamed it might have been you
Oh oh oh oh love kiss me one time then go love I'll understand don't worry bout me
[ piano ]
Sweet sweet sweet love I want you to be as happy as I when you love me
I'll never forget you your sweet memory it's all over now don't worry bout me
When one heart tells one heart one heart goodbye one heart is free one heart will cry
Oh oh oh oh sweet sweet baby sweet baby sweet it's all right don't worry bout me
You say I need a rest
Why don't I go and see my sister way out west
That's very thoughtful of you dear
And I'm really touched with all this tenderness
But us women are suspicious things
We know that men aren't born with wings
What's making you so kind? Now, I'm not smart
But I'm not blind and I think that you've got evil on your mind
You think that you've been good about as long
As most red blooded human could
We've been together for so long
I know another pasture's looking good
But don't think that other men don't look at me
That certain way from time to time
Don't think that you're the only one
That must contend with evil on your mind
Your mind is in a harem
And surrounded by exotic dancing girls
You're hearing pretty music
As they run their slender fingers through your curls
Ahh, dream on baby
I thank you for the flowers and the candy
Honey, that was very kind
For that's your way of telling me
Hey baby (yeah chil'e)
I know you've gotta leave me for a few short days
(But you know I'm gonna be a good boy now don't you)
Baby (uh-huh) I know that you'll be tempted in so many ways
(Not a big ole strong minded man like me)
I've heard about those city girls I know you'll meet some pretty girls
And baby I'm here all alone (you better stay that way too)
Please wait till ya get back home
Don't let it happen without me (don't you worry about me)
Don't let it happen without me (you have no reason to doubt me)
Don't let it happen without me (you know I can't live without you)
Yeah well just tell me all about it
(No now wait a minute chil'e listen to me
Cause when I'm up there in that big city
I'm not gonna be thinkin' of anythin' but little ole you listen now)
Baby (what) I'll be thinkin' of you all the time I'm gone (you just better
Baby (what honey) I'll phone you every evening if you'll stay at home
(Why the only place I go is the grocery)
This town is full of guys who can put big stars in your eyes
And I'll be in Chicago all alone (just make sure you are)
Please wait till I get back home
Don't let it happen without me (don't you worry about me)
Don't let it happen without me (you have no reason to doubt me)
Don't let it happen without me (you know I can't live without you)
Don't let it happen without me don't let it happen without me
One day you came along and spoke so tenderly
You kissed me oh so sweet and gave your love to me
One moment in my life I clung to every thrill
Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still
For one day in my life you brought me happiness
You stopped the lonely world with all your tenderness
I can't get over you I guess I never will
Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still
The day the world stood still and you were only mine
You held me close to you and stopped the hands of time
I can't get over you I guess I never will
Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still
All the time yes darling all the time tenderly and constantly I'll love you
Every day I'll prove it every way in happiness or in loneliness I'll love you
Other arms may tempt me but don't let that bother you
For even if they tempt me I'll never be untrue
All the time yes darling all the time
Through the years through smiles or tears I'll love you
I'll be yours but not for love my dear
With my hand in yours I'll stare at you with passion
Tell you sweet things maybe even cry a tear
And then we'll dance real slow to the music soft and low
I'll be yours but not for love my dear
Please don't be offended it's not you my dear
It's an old love that overpowers each new love that appears
For fun and fascination temporary consolation I'll be yours but not for love my dear
I let you hold me close then let you kiss me and hear you whisper baby in my ear
We'll share our life of laughter not carying what comes after
I'll be yours but not for love my dear
Please don't be offended...
If you find someone that you really love
Show that special someone you're worthy of his love
Or then someday you may be someone just like me
Who is crying crying for love that used to be
You must learn to give as well as receive
Show him how much you care and never never decieve
For once I had a love just made for me but I I was so foolish I just couldn't see
So today look at me someone you don't want to be
Sometimes when I'm down and all alone just like a child without a home
The love you give me keeps me hanging on honey all I ever need is you
You're my first love you're my last you're my future you're my past
And loving you is all that I ask honey all I ever need is you
Winters come and they go and we watch the melting snow
As sure as summer follows spring all the things you do
Give me a reason to build my world around you
Some men follow rainbows I am told some men search for silver some for gold
I have found my treasure in your soul honey all I ever need is you
Without love I'd never find the way through ups and downs of every single day
(Let me tell you the saddest part of all)
It was sad so sad when you left me and me thinking I stood so tall
Now you're gone and I should forget you
But I still love you and that's the saddest part of all
Well I cried oh how I cried when I saw you with her wrapped so tightly in you arms
But the way I cried then oh honey it can't hold the candle
To the way I'm cryin' now that you're gone
And the saddest part of all is that I take you back
And all you'd have to do is call
After all all the things you done to hurt me
(Marvin Shiner - Jerry Monday)
It wasn't very long ago we had a love few people know
And everything was going oh so fine
I trusted you, you trusted me the way that it's supposed to be
But love slipped from us somewhere down the line.
Chorus:
We had all of the good things going baby
You know we did, everything was fine
Enjoying the taste of the good life
We all look for but few can find.
--- Instrumental ---
It's gone but we can't understand how luck could slip right through our hands
All down the line things seemed so very right
The love we shared through all these years we both knew that we were sincere
Then suddenly it left just overnight.
Chorus:
We had all of the good things going baby
You know we did, everything was fine
Enjoying the taste of the good life
We all look for but few can find.
--- Instrumental ---
Now that we've gone our separate ways I still recall those brighter days
Days that didn't seem so very long
Neither of us ought to blame we overly know that it's a shame
And all that we had going now is gone.
Chorus:
We had all of the good things going baby
You know we did, everything was fine
Enjoying the taste of the good life
Shame on me for hurting you what can I say what can I do
Last night I was blind but today I see I did you wrong shame on me
You say you won't be seein' me again you say we're through
I wouldn't want to see the sunrise tomorrow if I knew that to be true
I know that just sayin' I'm sorry doesn't sound quite a lot
But the man you saw me with last night means no more to me
Than the thousand stars to the great clouds that cover the night
The more I look at him the more I realize how very much I love you
Shame on me for hurting you...
I'll admit I shouldn't have given into love's wild temptation
With someone I cared nothing for I was blind and I hurt you
But can you ever forgive the fool the fool who really loves you
We walked the warm streets of Florida with sand in our pockets lots of times
Walked the cold streets of New York with two guitars and a tin cup just for dimes
We spent one winter in Winnipeg a summer in the Mississippi sun
Had some trouble once in Fargo some bad times in Enceno but we had fun
We made the papers once in Phoenix when we stopped and tried to break up a fight
We hit keno in Reno and lost it all in Vegas the very next night
We hopped a train in Chicago and skinny dipped in San Francisco bay
We checked it all in the big hotels then used the fire escape to get away
And we wouldn't trade it all for the world and all of its gold
It's the past that makes the future worth livin'
Mother Luck's been good to us and we will praise her in our songs
For the good times and the good love she has given
[ ac.guitar ]
We flew into Kansas City early April 24th without a plane
We got stranded in a snow storm with some folks from Salt Lake City on a train
We spent a week one night in LA looking for a doctor's daughter on the strip
Then we wound up in Nashville pitchin' songs and waitin' tables for a tip
And we wouldn't trade it all...
[ Jan ]
I looked over Jordan and what did I see
[ Bill ]
Comin' for to carry me home
A band of angels comin' after me
[ Jan ]
Comin' for to carry me home
[ Both ]
Swing low swing low sweet chariot comin' for to carry me home
Swing low swing low sweet chariot comin' for to carry me home
[ Jan ]
If you get there before I do
[ Bill ]
Comin' for to carry me home
Tell all of my friends I'm comin' too
[ Jan ]
Comin' for to carry me home
[ Both ]
Swing low swing low sweet chariot...
[ steel - guitar ]
[ Jan ]
I remember well my brightest day
[ Bill ]
Comin' for to carry me home
When Jesus washed my sins away
[ Jan ]
Comin' for to carry me home
[ Both ]
Swing low swing low sweet chariot...
[ Jan ]
I'm sometimes up and I'm sometimes down
[ Bill ]
Comin' for to carry me home
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
[ Jan ]
Comin' for to carry me home
[ Both ]
I don't care what anybody thinks of me
My pride is gone and here I am on bended knees
I want you and I need you, that's all I know
And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go go
I'd gladly beg, I'd steal, I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go go
I'd gladly beg, I'd steal, I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
(Jackey Beavers - Johnny Bristol - Harvey Fuqua)
Someday we'll be together
Say it, say it, say it again
Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will.
You're far away
From me my love
But just as sure my baby
As there are stars above.
(Mhm) someday we'll be together
Tes we will, yes we will
Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, I know we wil.l
My love is yours, baby
Right from the start
You possess my very soul
And I know, I know you own my heart.
(And I know that) someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, I know we will.
A long time ago I made a big mistake
And I said goodbye
Ever since that day all I wanna do
Is sit and cry.
I long for you every night
Just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips
And hold you so tight.
Mhm someday we'll be together
Aay it, say it, say it again
Someday we'll be together
Say it, say it, say it again.
Someday we'll be together
Say it, say it, say it again
Someday we'll be together
The birds stop their singing when I'm passing by
And even the flowers just stand there and cry
But they know the reason I have tears in my eyes they listened while you said goodbye
You say what you're seeking is over the hill
And that I'll find a new love but I never will
For you didn't know my whole world stood still and listened while you said goodbye
[ piano ]
The sun has stopped shining the moon hides its face
He promised so much now he hides in disgrace
I guess all creation was there that night and listened while you said goodbye
I was young when I left you and daddy there was a world outside I had to see
Mama I've sure been a lot of places but Little Rock still looks the best to me
Oh rock me back to Little Rock mama rock me let me be there in my dreams awhile
Where the men don't try to take advantage of every woman who smiles
Sing me a little rock-a-bye-baby just the way you used to do
Mama this old world ouside does hurt me so rock me back to Little Rock with you
[ guitar ]
I couldn't wait to get away from Little Rock
For I thought Little Rock was a little square
But if I ever save enough money I'll swing it right on back and settle there
Straighten up your tie and comb your hair
Act as though you've spent your time alone
Wash away her lipstick from your collar
Get your lie the way you want it then come on home
Make sure there's no blond hair on your shoulder
Tear up the name and number of her phone
Smile and don't let on how much you shame me
Get your lie the way you want it then come on home
Come on home to me to the one who's number two
The one who throws away her pride to keep on loving you
I'll be waiting when you come back from the other love you've known
Get your lie the way you want it then come on home
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
You say our love is over that you have found another
You say you're going away but leave me tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
You've hurt me enough today I can't believe the words you say
I must accept the fact you won't be coming back
So stay just one more day loneliness isn't far away
Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today
[ steel ]
So stay just one more day loneliness isn't far away
Me the girl untouchable who always kept her distance
Me the boy untouchable the wall of solid resistance
A walk a talk and one little kiss who would have thought it would lead to this
Love has touched the untouchables right in the heart
What am I gonna tell him what am I gonna say
How will I explain to her falling for you this way
Married and both untouchables
And that's what makes things worse
For love has touched the untouchables right in the heart
Right where it hurts
[ steel ]
I'm leavin' it all up to you you decide what you gonna do
Now do you want my love or are we through
That's why I'm leavin' it up...
[ guitar ]
I've got my heart in my hand but there's so much that I don't understand
And baby I don't know what I've done wrong
You know I worship the ground you walked on
My whole world is ending with saying goodbye
I know I can't hold you there's no use to try
Though my heart is breaking I've said all I can say
And I know where I'm going when you go your way
You go your way I'll go crazy thinking about you and missing you so
You go your way I'll go crazy I only have a few steps more to go
