Dolly Parton [영화배우, 가수]

Here you come again
Just when I've begun to get myself together
You waltz right in the door
Just like you've done before
And wrap my heart 'round your little finger

Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And lie those pretty lies
And pretty soon I'm wonderin' how I came to doubt you

All you got to do is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses

Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
And here I go

All you got to do is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses

Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
And here I go
Here I go
And here I go
And here I go
Here you come again
And here I go
Here I go
And here I go
Here I go

If i should stay
Well, i would only be in your way
And so i'll go, and yet i know
That i'll think of you each step of my way
And i will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all i have, and all i'm taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
'cause we both know that i'm not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
And i hope life, will treat you kind
And i hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, i do wish you joy
And i wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, i will always love

I, i will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

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

If i should stay
Well, i would only be in your way
And so i'll go, and yet i know
That i'll think of you each step of my way
And i will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all i have, and all i'm taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
'cause we both know that i'm not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
And i hope life, will treat you kind
And i hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, i do wish you joy
And i wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, i will always love

I, i will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

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

(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

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

(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

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

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

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

Go tell it on the mountain over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds kept their watch o'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens there shown a holy light

Go tell it on the mountain...

The shepherds feared and trembled when low above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Saviour's birth

Go tell it on the mountain...
[ piano ]
Go tell it on the mountain...
Go tell it on the mountain...

I'll be home for Christmas you can count on me
Fileds have snow and mistletoe and presents under the tree

Christmas Eve will find me where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas if only in my dreams
[ sax - steel ]
Christmas Eve will find me...
If only in my dreams
Yes I'll be home I'll be home for Christmas

Oh jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Hey jingle bells jingle bells...

Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

Oh jingle bells jingle bells...
[ dobro ]
Oh jingle bells jingle bells...

Joy to the world the Lord is come let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing and heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing

Joy to the earth the Savior reigns let men their songs employ
While fields and floods rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy repeat the sounding joy
Repeat repeat the sounding joy

Joy to the world...

He rules the world with truth and grace and makes the nation prove
The glories of his righteousness
And wonders of his love and wonders of his love
And wonders wonders of his love

Joy to the world...

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see the lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.

For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in.

Where children pure and happy
Pray to the blessed Child,
Where misery cries out to thee,
Son of the mother mild;
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
And Christmas comes once more.

O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel!

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

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

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.

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

Who do you think you are
What do you think this is
A game you can play
Tryin' to steal him away
Well, I don't need a heartache like this
Well, don't think I don't go through hell
But heaven is what we both want
He's easy to love, but he's hard to give up
And if you think I will, well, you're wrong

Chorus:

The best woman wins
I will fight 'til the end
I'll lay down and die if I must
I'll beg and I'll plead
I will suffer and bleed
But he must make a choice between us

This soap opera play that we're in
Is just like you watch on TV
But I never thought that I'd ever get caught in it;
Starring you, him and me

In love as in war all is fair
So a fight to the finish begins
When you fight from desire
You fight fire with fire
So may the best woman win

Repeat Chorus

So may the best woman win

Saw you turnin' down main street in your big, black fancy car
You were dressed up fit to kill, with a pretty girl on your arm
You spun around and you headed up town
Where the neon lights all shine
Left me choking in a cloud of dust
You never pay me no mind
Chorus:

You're livin' in the fast lane
I guess I'm just too slow
I never wore silk or fancy furs
Just plain ole calico

I'll never be a fast lane lover
And they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road
That you keep turnin' down

If you ever hit a dead end street
If it's love that you're looking for
You can always turn around
And beat a path right to my door
Do I have to draw you a map
You seem to know your way around
So when you're tired of spinnin' your wheels
Baby, we can go to town

Repeat Chorus

I'll never be a fast lane lover
And they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road
That you keep turnin' down

I am just a country road
That you keep turnin' down

Repeat Chorus

Intro:
Like the morning sun
His love moved across every inch of my body

And the heat from the fire burned me up with desire
I thought I'd died and gone to heaven for sure

This morning when I opened my eyes
There to my surprise
Lay that angel I thought had been only a dream
And so I said a little prayer
And thanked God, that he was there
Oh, this is a dream come true

1st Chorus:

Dream do come true
I know 'cause I found you
I never thought they did
But now I do
Dreams do come true

It was love at first sight
And it was love all night

And the way he made love to me
Fulfilled all my fantasies
Ooo, this is a dream come true

2nd Chorus:

Yes, dreams do come true
I know 'cause I found you
I never thought they did
But you're living proof
That dreams do come true

Tag:

Dreams do come true
And I am so in love with you

She's been there, god knows she's been there
She has seen and done it all
She's a woman, she knows how to dish it out, or take it all
Her heart's as soft as feathers, still she weathers stormy skies
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies

A kliederscope of colours, you can toss her round and round
You can keep her, in your vision, but you never keep her down
She's a lover, she's a mother, she's a friend and she's a wife
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies

Gentle as the sweet magnolia, strong as steel her faith and pride
She's an everlasting shoulder, she's a leading post of life
She hurts deep, and when she weeps, she's just as fragile as a child
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies
She's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies
Oh bless her lord
She's an eagle when she flies

When it's family, you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's family, you accept them, 'cause you have no choice but to
When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
And they always put you to the test
And you always try to do your best
And just pray for God to do the rest, when it's family
Some are preachers, some are gay
Some are addicts, drunks and strays
But not a one is turned away, when it's family
Some are lucky, others ain't
Some are fighters, others faint
Winners, losers, sinners, saints, it's all family

And when it's family you trust them and your heart's an open door
When it's family, you tolerate what you'd kill others for
When it's family, you love and hate and take, then give some more
Somehow you justify mistakes, try to find some better way
To solve the problems day to day, in the family

You take the trouble as it comes and love them more than anyone
Good or bad or indifferent, it's still family
You choose your lovers, you pick your friends
Not the family that you're in, nah
They'll be with you 'til the end, 'cause it's family

And when it's family, you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
When it's family, when it's family
Let me be all that I should be to the family

Intro:
If you need me, I'll be gone

The bed's still warm where you just left
But it'll be colder where I've slept
I've always been where you needed me
But I ain't the fool I used to be

You come home all hours of the night
The fragrance on you ain't old spice
Tonight when you come draggin' home
And find you need me, I'll be gone

1st Chorus:

I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up
Gone like the dew from the buttercup
Gone like a woman treated wrong
If you need me, I'll be gone

So, what am I still doing here?
You've been doin' me wrong for years
Tired of pickin' up and puttin' out
I'm leaving you lock, stock, and house

So, bye, bye, baby
That's it, I'm packed
I'm a'leavin' now, but I'll call back
And leave this message on the code-a-phone
Sayin', if you need me, well, I'll be gone

2nd Chorus:

I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up
Gone like the dew from the buttercup
Gone like a woman leavin' home
If you need me, I'll be gone

Repeat 2nd Chorus

I said, if you need me, I'll be gone

Tag:

If you need me, I'll be gone
I said, if you need me, I'll be gone

I'll do everything i can to make you proud to be my man
And i'll fulfill all you fantasies
I guess we're promising a lot, but for now it's all we've got
And i'll stand by you thru our rockin' years
1st chorus:

Rockin' chairs, rockin' babies, rock-a-bye, rock of ages
Side by side we'll be together always
And if you'll hold me tight when you love me
That's all i'll ask of you
And i'll stand by you thru our rockin' years

I'll be your friend, i'll be your lover
Until the end, there'll be no other
'cause my heart has only room for one
Yes, i'll always love you, and i'll always be here for you
And i'll stand by you thru our rockin' years

Repeat 1st chorus

2nd chorus:

Rockin' chairs, rockin' babies, rock-a-bye, rock of ages
Side by side, we'll be together always
And, yes, i'll always love you and i'll always be here for you
And i'll stand by you thru our rockin' years, and i'll be here
And i'll stand by you thru our rockin' years

Tag:

Thru our rockin' years

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)
Runaway feelin' (runaway)
Won't you run away with me

(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

(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

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

I know there's times when you must wonder
If my love is true, and I'm satisfied
I wish I knew a way to show you
I'm forever yours for the rest of my life
Chorus:

I cross my heart and hope to die
I'll always be here by your side
My love grows stronger as the time goes by
Cross my heart and hope to die

And all those times we're not together
You're in my heart and you're on my mind
You're like a part of me that's missing
I cross my heart and hope to die

Chorus:

I cross my heart and hope to die
I'll always be here by your side
My love grows stronger as the time goes by
Cross my heart and hope to die

Repeat Chorus

I cross my heart and hope to die

You've seen me naked in
more ways than one
You've seen me done up,
seen me come undone
We've cried in the
darkness, we've laughed
in the sun
We've been forever, yet
we've just begun

Chorus
We've come full circle, all
the way 'round
Though the good times,
the bad times, through
life's ups and downs
Still we've stayed together
through thick and
through thin
Yes, we've come full circle.
Thank God, we're
still friends

You know the soft spots
under my skin
Deep down inside me,
where no one has been
And we've sailed troubled
waters, we've soared
on the wind
But time's only sweetened
this love that we're in

Repeat Chorus

Tag
We've cried in the darkness,

We've come full circle and

You know we've cried in

laughed in the sun
We've stayed
together, and we've
just begun

We've come full circle,
we've been all the

We've come full
circle, and I'd do

I'm not the kind of girl that married dear dad
I don't bake apple pies and cookies from scratch
I'm not even handy with a needle or thread
But you'll never go hungry and I'll make your bed
I'll make your bed a place you can't wait to go
Softer than feathers and as sweet as a rose
Smooth satin pillows I will fluff for your head
And you'll want for nothin' and I'll make your bed
I'll love you to sleep at night, wake you with a kiss
Things that I can't do, I swear you won't miss
I promised forever on the day that we meet
That's love you truly and
I'll make your bed

Do-do-do-do-do-do, de-de-de-oh-h
Do-do-do-do-do-do, de-de-de ah
Do-do-do-do-do-do, de-de-de-oh-h
I'll love you truly and I'll make your bed

I'll clothe you in dreams or I will feed you with love
Show you a magic life that few have dreamed of
I know this can be the love you'll never regret
'Cause I'm your forever and I'll make your bed

I'll make your bed a place you can't wait to go
Softer than feathers and as sweet as a rose
Smooth satin pillows I will fluff for your head
And I'll love you truly and
I'll make your bed

I'll love you to sleep at night, wake you with a kiss
Things that I can't do, I swear you won't miss
Forever and always I will prove what I said
And love you a lifetime and
I'll make your bed
And you'll want for nothing and I'll make your bed

Do-do-do-do-do-do, dum-de-de oh-h
De-de-de-de-de-de, do-do-do ah

I've been through hell and half of Louisiana
Lookin' for a man like you
I know you could have any woman you want
And I know you've had a few
I know I've got some stiff competition
They ain't got nothin' on me
'Cause I've got something that you've been missin'
I practice what I preach
Chorus:

'Cause I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your friend
And I wanna be your full-time woman
Closer than your kin
I wanna be your satisfaction
Be your number one
And just when you think I can't love you any better
Well, I have just begun
'Cause there's more where that came from
There's more where that came from

And I want your clothes in my closet
My name on your mail
And I want my love to be your faucet
Drinkin' from an endless well
I want your kids to call me Mama
I want you to call me Hun
I wanna be the one you love and honor
When it's all been said and done

Chorus:

'Cause I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your friend
And I wanna be your full-time woman
Closer than your kin
I wanna be your satisfaction
Be your number one
And just when you think I can't love you any better
Well, I have just begun
'Cause there's more where that came from
That's right, there's more where that came from

2nd Chorus:

Oh, I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your friend
I wanna be your full-time woman
I'm gonna get under your skin
'Cause I wanna be your satisfaction
Be your number one
And just when you think I can't love you any better
Well, I have just begun
There's more where that came from
That's right, there's more where that came from

Tag:

Yes, I wanna be your full-time woman
I wanna be that, I wanna be that
Oh, I wanna be your lover, lover, lover
I wanna be that, I wanna be that
And I wanna be your satisfaction
I wanna be that, I wanna be that

Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it's getting late
Oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Another day goes by
And still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me


You just wait and see, wait and see

Take a good look around
And if you're lookin' down
Put a little love in your heart
And I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Put a little love in your heart
Each and every day
Put a little love in your heart
There's got to be a better way
Put a little love in your heart
Don't you think it's time we start
Put a little love in your heart

And we'll call this the Romeo
'Cause your so mighty fine

I'm in heat

Romeo, Romeo, I just know
I'll get you yet
Romeo, Romeo, I want to be

So step it high, step it low
Step it out and in
Step to the side and let it slide

Check, check, check, check
Check it out

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

Still a starry-eyed kid slow dancing with the moon

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

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

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

Someday when I'm over you
And when I think I'm able to
Well, I might try to be
Your friend again
But your restless heart
And rovin' eyes
My jealousy, these
endless fights
I've got to get out of your life
Or I will never mend
Chorus:

I guess I'll die a bit each day
But I'm always dying anyway
And I don't have the heart to
Stay, and I can't take the pain
I know we've tried to no avail
Our heaven now has
Turned to hell
The same old hurt
We know so well
And something's got
To change

We both know it's got to end
The passion's gone
It's just pretend
And one of us have got
To make the move
We might as well just give it up
We've lost respect and
There's no trust
And without this, there's
No real love
It's just some sad excuse

2nd Chorus:

I guess I'll die a bit each day
But I'm always dying anyway
And there's nothing left but walk away
Ain't this a crying shame
A change of pace
A change of heart
A change of place
A place to start
And we'll be better off apart
Our only chance is change

Tag:

And we never will
But something has to change

Fade:

But someday when I'm over you
And when I think I'm able to
Then I will try to be your friend again
But I don't want to see
Your face 'til then
Change, I need a change
I need a change
We need a change

A broken heart like a broken wing
It must have its time to mend
I am like a crippled bird
In hopes one day to fly again
I loved you so and i was faithful
I cared more than words could say
But love is cruel and life is hateful
Now youve gone and flown away

I flew off to the wild blue yonder
'Cause I had a dream
And I had to go
But I'm filled with a sense of wonder
From the love I shared
With a green-eyed boy
Lips as sweet as mountain honey
A body warm as home made wine
But he had no dreams
And no means for money
But he had me just anytime

Chorus:

Take me back, If just in memory
Fill my cup again with joy
The fire still burns in the old rock chimney
And I still burn for that green-eyed boy

Now he was pretty
With chiseled features
Like the movie stars in the magazines
My first love and the son of a preacher
I fantasized me was James Dean

But the world outside kept pulling at me
Offered me fame, respect, and gold
Designer clothes and a fancy mansion
Expensive cars, so I chose those

Repeat Chorus Twice

Ooh, ooh, how I love that green-eyed boy
Ooh, ooh, ooh, and I still miss
That green-eyed boy

Fade:

Do you think about me
When the nights are long and cold
Do you ever miss me
Do you my green-eyed boy

If i should stay
Well, i would only be in your way
And so i'll go, and yet i know
That i'll think of you each step of my way
And i will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all i have, and all i'm taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
'cause we both know that i'm not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
And i hope life, will treat you kind
And i hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, i do wish you joy
And i wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, i will always love
I, i will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
But I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

The truth is too painful
This moment too real
Saying good-bye
But loving you still
Too late to start over
We've tried that before
And I just don't have it in me
To try anymore

But I know I'll miss you
And I know I'll cry
I know you loved me
And I know you've tried
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever do in my life
But I know no good way
Of saying good-bye

I know I'll miss you
And I know I'll cry
I know you loved me
And I know I'll ask why
I know I'll have moments
When I'll want to die
But I know no good way
Of saying good-bye

And the longest night
I'll ever spend will be tonight
'Cause I know no good way of saying

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

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

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

Can't you reach me
And teach me to trust

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

Don't try to cry your way out of this
Don't try to lie or I'll catch you in it
Don't try to make me feel sorry for you
Just because I'm blonde
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
When you left you thought I'd sit
An' you thought I'd wait
An' you thought I'd cry
You called me a dumb blonde
Ah, but somehow I lived through it
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned
Blondes have more fun

You flew too high up off the ground
It's stormy wheater an' had to come back down
But I've found new thread for my old spool
Just because I'm blonde
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool

When you left you thought I'd sit
An' you thought I'd wait
An' you thought I'd cry
You called me a dumb blonde
Ah, but somehow I lived through it
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned
Blondes have more fun

You flew too high up off the ground
It's stormy wheater an' had to come back down
But I've found new thread for my old spool
Just because I'm blonde
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool

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

If i should stay
Well, i would only be in your way
And so i'll go, and yet i know
That i'll think of you each step of my way
And i will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all i have, and all i'm taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
'cause we both know that i'm not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
And i hope life, will treat you kind
And i hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, i do wish you joy
And i wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, i will always love

I, i will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

There's a bit of magic in a simple little smile
Something that just makes life seem a little more worthwhile
And there's a world of meaning in the touch of someone's hand
A gentle touch that let's your brother know you understand
Oh if people would stop taking and just once try to give
We could make the world we're living in a better place to live
La la la la la la la la la la la la

And if we'd love one another instead of finding faults
We could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs
Oh wouldn't it be great to live and sing in harmony
Everybody take your brother's hand and sing my song with me

La la la la la la la la la la la la

All life has to offer that's what most folks desire
But offer nothing in return, cause they don't seem to care
And if we'd ask to be forgiven and be willing to forgive
We could make the world we're living in a better place to live
And if we'd all climb together, we could climb the highest hill
We could make the world we're living in a better place to live

And if we'd love one another instead of finding faults
We could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs
Oh wouldn't it be great to live and sing in harmony
Everybody take your brother's hand and sing my song with me

La la la la la la la la la la la la

Back through the years
I go wonderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss

My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me

So with patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me

And oh I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told 'em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes

But they didn't understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me

I open up my door to greet the early morning sun
Closing it behind me and away I do run
To the meadow where the meadow lark is singing in the tree
In the meadow I go walking in the early morning breeze
I cup my hands to catch a multi-colored butterfly
Perched upon the petals of flowers growing wild
Freeing it I watch it as it flies away from me
To visit with the flowers in the early morning breeze
Chorus:

Rainbow colored flowers kissed with early morning sun
The aster and the dahlia and wild geraniums
Drops of morning due still linger on the iris leaves
In the meadow where I'm walking in the early morning breeze

Misty-eyed I look about the meadow where I stray
For its there I find the courage to greet the coming day
For there among the flowers I kneel gently to my knees
To have a word with God in the early mornig breeze

2nd Chorus:

A rainbow colored meadow kissed with early morning sun
The aster and the dahlia and wild geraniums
Drops of morning due still linger on the iris leaves
In the meadow where I'm walking in the early morning breeze

Here I am, oh here I am, here I am
If you need a love that's true
Need someone to stand by you
Here I am, oh here I am, here I am
If you need a helping hand, need someone to understand
Here I am, oh here I am, here I am

Here I am, I'm reaching out to give you love that you're without
I can help you find what you've been looking for
Here I am, come to me, take my hand 'cause I believe
I can give you all the love you need and more
Oh here I am, oh here I am, here I am

My world is such an empty place
I need someone to fill the space
And here I am, oh here I am, here I am
'Cause I've got so much love to give
I need someone to share it with
And here I am, oh here I am, here I am

Here I am, I'm reaching out to give you love that you're without
I can help you find what you've been searching for
Here I am, come to me, take my hand 'cause I believe
I can give you all the love you need and more
Oh here I am, oh here I am, here I am

Oh here I am, oh here I am, here I am
Here I am, oh here I am, here I am

Mama, it's so good to be back home again
I'm so proud to see that you are looking well
Yes, I know that I look a little weary
Oh, but Mama, I have been through living hell
You know how much I've always loved him, Mama
But he done things to me I couldn't understand
Why, he made me watch him love another woman
And he tried to make me love another man

Mama, can I be your little girl again?
I need you now even more than I did then
And I need a lot of love and understanding
And a lot of time to get me over him

If I lose my mind, Mama, I wanna be here with you
Have them lock me up and see I have good care
But I just couldn't stand his torture any longer
I was afraid of what I'd do if I stayed there

Fly away from my window little blue bird
Fly as far as you can away from here
And let not your song fall upon my ear
Go spread your blue wings and I'll shed my blue tears
For the one that I have loved
He has left me and gone
An' I'm in no mood for to hear your sad song

Bring not your light into my dark room, yellow sunshine
Waste not your warmth on the cold glisten here
Oh, trouble me not
Go ye elsewhere
Go light your blue sky and I'll shed my blue tears

For the only one that I have ever loved has gone away
An' I'm in no mood for the sunshine today

Go spread your blue wings
Go light your blue sky
An' I'll shed my blue tears

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

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

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

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

Tumble out of bed
And Stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin'
For folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

chorus:
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Mmmmm...

They let you dream
Just a' watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away

In the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day
Your ship'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn
An' it's all gonna roll you away

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

9 to 5, yeah, they got you were they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet

9 to 5
Oh What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

Fade:
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you dream about it don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet
9 to 5

When the mornin' sun
Streaks across my room
And I'm wakin' up
From another dream of you
Yes, you know I'm on the road
Once again it seems
All that's left behind
Is a chain of broken dreams
But you know that I love you
You know that I love you
Oh, I love you

And how I wish that love
Was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have
'Cause I've got so much to give
But ya' know I feel so sad
Down inside my heart
That the dollar sign
Should be keepin' us apart
But you know that I love you
You know that I love you
Oh, how I love you

And if only I could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life
Had not yet crossed my mind
And the answers could be found in children's nursery rhymes
I'd come runnin' back to you
I'd come runnin' back to you
Mmmmm

But you know we can't
Live on dreams alone
Got to pay the rent
So I must leave you all alone
'Cause you know I made my choice many years ago
And now this travelin' life
Well, it's the only life I know
But you know that I love you
You know that I love you
Oh, I love you
But you know that I love you
You know that I love you
Oh, how I love you
But you know that I love you
You know that I love you
Oh, how I love you

But you know I love you
But you know I love you
Oh, I love you
But you know that I love you
But you know that I love you
Oh, how I love you
But you know that I love you
But you know that I love you
Oh, how I love you

Come and listen you fellows
So young and do fine
And seek not your fortune
In the dark, dreary mines
It will form as a habit
Seep in your soul
'Til the blood in your veins
Runs as black as the coal

There's many a man
That I've known in my day
Who lived just to labor
His whole life away

Like a fiend with his dope
And a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for
The lure of the mine

It's dark as a dungeon
Damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few

Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mine

I hope when I'm gone
And the ages shall roll
My body will blacken
And turn into coal

Then I'll look out the door
Of my heavenly home
And I'll pity the miners
A-diggin' my bones

It's dark as a dungeon
Damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few

Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mine

Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mine

You know last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sisters and brothers
And I dreamed about a love who's been waiting there so long
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh how I want to go home
My kinfolks think I'm big in Detraoit city
From all the letters that I write, they think I'm fine
By day I make the cars
But, by night I make all the bars
Oh if only they's just read between the lines

They'd know I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh how I want to go home

You know I rode a freight train north to Detroit city
And after all these years I find I've been wasting my time
Think I'll put my foolish pride on a southbound train and ride
Heading back to the loved ones I left there waiting behind

Repeat Chorus

There is a house in New Orleans down in the Vieaux Carre
A house they call the Rising Sun where love and money are made

My father he was a gambler mother died when I was young
And I've worked since then to pleasure the men
At the house of the Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising sun
It's been the ruin of many a good girl and oh God you know I'm one

So mothers you go tellin' all your daughters not to do what I have done
To live a life of sin shame and strife in the house of the Rising Sun

There is a house down in New Orleans they call the Rising sun
It's been the ruin of many a good girl and oh God you know I'm one
Oh God you know I'm one oh God you know I'm one

Many years you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hush a bye hard times, go ye away
Cause my hungry baby wants a Gingerbread Cake
Not a cow in the barn yard no money to spend
Not an egg in the hayloft, no little red hen

Chorus:

So, hush a bye baby don't cry no more
Your mama can't give you what you're crying for
There's a wolf at the door with an angry
Cold hungry stare, he keeps howling of hard times
And the cupboard is bare

Oh, hush a bye hard times go ye to rest
Cause my ragged baby wants a new ruffled dress
And she wants some new shoes with buckles to wear
And she wants some silver bows for her golden hair

Repeat Chorus Twice

Hush a bye hard times go ye away
I don't intend to be treated this way

So, hush a bye baby
Hush a bye hard times
Hush a bye baby
Don't cry no more
Hush a bye hard times
Hush a bye baby
Hush a bye hard times
Come ye no more

Fade:

Many years you have lingered around my cabin door
Hush a bye hard times
Come ye no more
Hush a bye baby
Hush a bye hard times
Hush a bye baby
Don't cry no more
Hush a bye hard times
Hush a bye baby
Hush a bye hard times
Come ye no more

The work is hard and the hours are long
The money ain't much but we get along
We're rich in things can give
That can't be bought with a dollar bill
So, come on down
Have a look around
Rich folks livin' in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a-plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks livin' in a poor folks town

We got no carpets on the floor
We've got wall to wall love
Who could ask for more
We got no big fine things to show
Just a place to watch our children grow

We got no big fine fancy car to drive
And no fancy clothes to keep in style
What we've got we're payin' on
But it's mostly love that we're livin' on

So, come on down
Have a look around
Rich folks livin' in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a-plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks livin' in a poor folks town

We've got a little simple church nearby
And the promise of a mansion in the sky
A heart of gold a million dollar smile
And a one way ticket to paradise

So, come on down
Have a look around
Rich folks livin' in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a-plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks livin' in a poor folks town

So, come on down
Have a look around
Rich folks livin' in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love
That's one thing that we've got a-plenty of
So come on down have a look around
At rich folks livin' in a poor folks town

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...

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

If she brings you happiness
Then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if she ever breaks your heart
If the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Though it hurts to let you go
Darling I want you to know
I'll run to you if ever you should call
And if I should ever hear
That she's made you shed a tear
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
I'll be there anytime you need me by your side
To dry away each teardrop you've cried


If she ever leaves you blue
Just remember I love you
And I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls

Alli estare candor me necesites a tu lado
Para borrar cadda lagrima que haya llorado
If he ever leaves you blue
Just remember I love you
And I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls

I'll be there, I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls

My baby makes me proud
Lord, don't he make me proud
He never makes a scene
Hangin' all over me in a crowd
'Cause people like to talk
Lord, don't they love to talk
But when they turn out the lights
I know he'll be leavin' with me
Chorus:

And when we get behind closed doors
Then we let out hair hang down
Then he makes me glad that he's my man
And no one knows what goes on behind closed doors

My baby makes me smile
Lord, don't he make me smile
I'm never far away
Or too tired to say I want to
I'm purring like a kitten
When e's out in public with me
But when they turn out the lights
He brings out the tiger in me

Repeat Chorus

Tag:

Behind closed doors

Don't look so sad I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the rain drops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times

I'll get along and you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
They'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the rain drops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times

For the good times
For the good times

You packed in the morning
I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way
Now I miss you more
Than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
Yes, you left me
Just when I needed you most
Now most every morning
I stare out the window
I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me

'Cause I need you more
Than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
Yes, you left me
Just when I needed you most

You packed in the morning
I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

Now I love you more
Than I loved you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
You left me
Just when I needed you most
Oh, you left me
Just when I needed you most

Now I've been happy lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
Oh, I've been smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Someday it's going to come
'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Peace train take this country
Come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun

Chorus:

Peace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train
Peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train

Get your bags together
Go bring all your good friends, too
'Cause it's getting nearer
Soon it will be with you

Now come and join the living
It's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer
Soon it will all be true

Repeat Chorus

Now I've been crying lately
Thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating
Why can't we live in bliss

'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Where peace train take this country
Come take me home again

Repeat Chorus

Final Chorus:

Peace train is sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train
Peace train holy roller
Jump up on the peace train
Ride - ride on the peace train

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

Tag:

Satin sheets to lie on

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
