Coldplay | Speed Of Sound | /c/coldplay/speed+of+sound_10069041.html | How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get
Is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand?
I'll start before I can stop
Before I see things the right way up
All that noise, and all that sound
All those places I have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand?
Ideas that you'll never find
All the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
The sign that I couldn't read
Or a light that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me
All that noise, and all that sound
All those places I have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Ah when you see it then you'll understand?
All those signs, I knew what they meant
Some things you can invent
Some get made, and some get sent
Oh
Birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Ah, when you see it then you'll understand?

Coldplay | Spies | /c/coldplay/spies_20032644.html | I awake to find no peace of mind
I said how do you live as a fugitive
Down here where I cannot see so clear
I said, what do I know
Show me the right way to go
And the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know
But the spies hide out in every corner
You can't touch them no, 'cause they're all spies
They're all spies
I awake to see that no one is free
We're all fugitives
Look at the way we live
Down here, I cannot sleep from fear no
I said, which way do I turn
Oh I forget everything I learn
But the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know
The spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them no
'Cause they're all spies
They're all spies
And if we all hide here
They're going to find us
If we don't hide now
They're going to catch us where we sleep
And if we don't hide here
They're going to find us
And spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so good 'cause you know
Though spies hide out in every corner
They can't touch you no
'Cause they're just spies
They're just spies

Coldplay | Square One | /c/coldplay/square+one_10069029.html | You're in control
Is there anywhere you want to go?
You're in control
Is there anything you want to know?
The future's for discovering
The space in which we're traveling
From the top of the first page
To the end of the last day
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are
Under the surface trying to break through
Deciphering the codes in you
I need a compass, draw me a map
I'm on the top, I can't get back
Whoa whoa
The first line on the first page
To the end of the last page
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are
You just want
Somebody listening to what you say
Oh, you just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are
Is there anybody out there who
Is lost and hurt and lonely too
Are they bleeding all your colors into one?
And if you come undone
As if you've been run through
Some catapult it fired you
You wonder if your chance will ever come
Or if you're stuck in square one

Coldplay | Strawberry Swing | /c/coldplay/strawberry+swing_20746055.html | They were sitting
They were talking in the strawberry swing
Every moment was so precious
They were sitting
They were talking in the strawberry swing
Everybody was for fighting
Wouldn't wanna waste a thing
Cold, cold water
Bring me round
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Cold, cold water
What ya say?
It's such
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
I remember
We were walking up to strawberry swing
I can't wait 'til the morning
Wouldn't wanna change a thing
People moving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don't you wanna curve away
It's such
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
Now the sky could be blue
I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time
Could be blue
I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time
Could be blue,
Could be grey
Without you I'm just miles away
Could be blue
I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time.

Coldplay | Streets Of Baltimore | /c/coldplay/streets+of+baltimore_20640267.html | Well I sold the farm to take my woman
Where she used to be
We left our kin and all our friends
Back there in Tennessee
And I bought those one way tickets
She had often begged me for
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
Well her heart was filled with gladness
When she saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on earth was
Baltimore at night
Well a man feels proud to give his woman
What she's longing for
And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore
Then I got myself a factory job
I ran an old machine
And I bought a little cottage
In a neighborhood serene
And every night when I'd come home
With every muscle sore
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore
Well I did my best to bring her back
To what she used to be
Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights
More than she loved me
Now I'm a going back on that same train
That brought me here before
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

Coldplay | Such A Rush | /c/coldplay/such+a+rush_20032650.html | Such a rush to do nothing at all
Such a fuss to do nothing at all
Such a rush to do nothing at all
Such a rush to get nowhere at all
Such a fuss to do nothing at all
Such a rush.
And it's just like you said,
It's just like you said.
Such a rush to do nothing at all.
Such a fuss to get nowhere at all.
Such a rush X2
And it's just like you said.
It's just like you said.
So slow down please,
Just slow down,
So slow down please,
Just slow down.
Such a rush x15
Look at all the people going after money.
Far to many people looking for their money.
Everybody's out there, trying to get money.
Why can't you just tell me,
Try to get money, rush.
Such a rush.
They all rush.
Such a rush x7

Coldplay | Swallowed In The Sea | /c/coldplay/swallowed+in+the+sea_10069050.html | You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see
Where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me
And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong to me
And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea
You put me on a line
And hung me out to dry
And darling that's when I
Decided to go to sea
You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see
And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world, and then it took
It took it back from me
And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you'll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea
Ooh
And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me
The streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me
Oh what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
Forget but not forgive
Not loving all you see
Oh the streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well that's where I belong
And you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

Coldplay | Talk | /c/coldplay/talk_10069037.html | Oh brother, I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you 'cause I don' know what to do
Oh brother, I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future, and I wanna talk to you
Oh, I wanna talk to you
You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me, how do you feel?
Well, I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me
So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Or do something that's never been done
So you don't know where you're going and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen, but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all, let's talk
Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk

Coldplay | The Hardest Part | /c/coldplay/the+hardest+part_10069048.html | And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
Was the hardest part
And the strangest thing
Was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest start
I could feel it go down
Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth
Silver lining the cloud
Oh and I
I wish that I could work it out
And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
You really broke my heart
And I tried to sing
But I couldn't think of anything
And that was the hardest part
I could feel it go down
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
You're silver lining the clouds
Oh and I
Oh and I
I wonder what it's all about
I wonder what it's all about
Everything I know is wrong
Everything I do, it's just comes undone
And everything is torn apart
Oh and it's the part
That's the hardest part
Yeah that's the hardest part
That's the hardest part

Coldplay | The World Turned Upside Down | /c/coldplay/the+world+turned+upside+down_20512663.html | X and why
The land, sea, rivers, trees
The stars, the sky
That and this
We're part of a bigger plan
Don't know what it is
Don't know what it is
You and me
The land, sun, trees, the sky
The stars, the sea
Three hundred and sixty five degrees
I am the puzzle, you're the missing piece
Hang on a minute, just a minute, please
I'll come
And everything under the sun
And everything under the sun
What is this feeling that I can't explain?
And why am I never gonna sleep again?
What is this thing I've never seen before?
A little boy lost in a breaking storm
Pilots up, and away they fly
Some write your name in the summer sky
Life has really only just begun
Life, it comes
And everything under the sun
X is why
The land, sea, rivers, trees
The stars, the sky
Three hundred and sixty five degrees
All of the surface and the underneath
Searching the measures in this extra key, ah
And everything under the sun
And everything under the sun
What is this feeling that I can't explain?
And why am I never gonna sleep again?
What is this thing I've never seen before?
A little boy lost in a breaking storm
Pilots up, and away they fly
Some write your name in the summer sky
Life has really only just begun
Life, it comes
And everything under the sun
And you don't know that you've been born
Can't see the calm until the storm
Can't tell your right side from your wrong
Can't see the wave you're riding on...

Coldplay | Things I Don't Understand | /c/coldplay/things+i+dont+understand_20512662.html | How tides control the sea, and what becomes of me
How little things can slip out of your hands
How often people change, no two remain the same
Why things don't always turn out as you plan
These are things that I don't understand
Yeah, these are things that I don't understand
I can't, and I can't decide
Wrong, all my wrong from right
Day, all my day for night
Dark, all my dark for light
I live, but I love this life
How infinite is space, and who decides your fate
Why everything will dissolve into sand
How to avoid defeat, when truth and fiction meet
Why nothing even turns out how you planned
These are things that I don't understand
Yeah, these are things that I don't understand
I can't, and I can't decide
Wrong, all my wrong from right
Day, all my day for night
Or dark, all my dark for light
I live, but I love this life

Coldplay | Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me? | /c/coldplay/travis+why+does+it+always+rain+on+me_20815761.html | I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying, "Everything's alright"
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling, you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by an invisible man
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so? It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying, "Everything's alright"
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on?

Coldplay | Trouble | /c/coldplay/trouble_20032645.html | Oh no I see
A spider web it's tangled up with me
And I lost my head
The thought of all the stupid things I said
Oh no what's this
A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
So I turned to run
The thought of all the stupid things I've done
And oh I never meant to cause you trouble
And oh and I never meant to do you wrong
And oh well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no I never meant to do you harm
Oh no I see
A spider web and it's me in the middle
So I twist and turn
Here am I in my little bubble
Singing out
Oh I never meant to cause you trouble
Oh I never meant to do you wrong
Oh well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no I never meant to do you harm
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me

Coldplay | True Love | /c/coldplay/true+love_21082377.html | For a second, I was in control
I had it once, I lost it though
And all along the fire below would rise
And I wish you could have let me know
What's really going on below
I've lost you now, you let me go
But one last time
Tell me you love me
If you don't then lie
Lie to me
Remember once upon a time, when I was
Yours and you were blind
The fire would sparkle in your eyes
And mine
So tell me you love me
And if you don't then lie, lie to me
Just tell me you love me
If you don't then lie, lie to me
If you don't then lie, lie to me
And call it true call it true love
Call it true call it true love

Coldplay | Twisted Logic | /c/coldplay/twisted+logic_10069051.html | Sunlight, opened up my eyes
To see for the first time
It opened them up
And tonight, rivers will run dry
But not for the first time
Rivers will run
Hundreds of years in the future
There could be computers
Looking for life on Earth
Don't fight for the wrong side
Say what you feel like
Say how you feel
You'll go backwards, but then
You'll go forwards, again
You'll go backwards, but then
You'll go...
Created, then drilled and invaded
If somebody made it
Someone will mess it up
And you are not wrong to
Ask who does this belong to?
It belongs to all of us
You'll go backwards, again
You'll go forwards, again
You'll go backwards, again
You'll go forwards...
You'll go backwards, but then
You'll go forwards, again
You'll go backwards, but then
You'll go forwards...

Coldplay | U.F.O. | /c/coldplay/ufo_20983391.html | Lord I don't know which way I am going
Which way, the river gonna flow
It's just seems that upstream, I keep rolling
Still got such a long way to go
Still got such a long way to go
Then at last, it's your right, I know, I swear
We'll find somewhere the streets are paved with gold
But it's fly, split the sky
But that's all right, sometimes
The sunlight comes streaming through the holes.

Coldplay | Up In Flames | /c/coldplay/up+in+flames_20980627.html | So it's over,
This time I know it's gone
Salt water tasted it too long
I only know I'm wrong
Now I know it's gone
Up in flames, up in flames
Up in flames we have slowly gone
So it's over,
This time you're flying on
This time I know no song
Can stop it slowly burn
Can stop it slowly gone
Up in flames, up in flames
Up in flames we have slowly gone
Up in flames, up in flames
Up in flames we have slowly gone
Oh, we have slowly gone
Can we pour some water on?

Coldplay | Up With The Birds | /c/coldplay/up+with+the+birds_20983395.html | The birds they sang, at break of day
Start again I hear them say
It's so hard to just walk away
The birds they sang, all a choir
Start again a little higher
It's a spark in a sea of gray
The sky is blue dream that lie 'till it's true
Then taken back the punch I threw
My arms turn in oh, those clumsy things
Send me up to that wonderful world
And then I'm up with the birds
Might have to go
Where they don't know my name
Float all over the world
Just to see her again
And I won't show or feel any pain
Even though all my armor might rust in the rain
A simple plot
But I know one day
Good things are coming our way
A simple plot
But I know one day
Good things are coming our way
Oh, yeah

Coldplay | Us Against The World | /c/coldplay/us+against+the+world_20915657.html | Oh morning come bursting, the clouds amen
Lift off this blindfold, let me see again
Bring back the water, let your ships roll in
In my heart she left a hole
The tightrope that I'm walking just sways and ties
The devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes
And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes
And the saints go marching in
And sing slow it down
Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world
Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend
My drunken as a Daniel in a lion's den
And tonight I know it all has to begin again
So whatever you do, don't let go
And if we could float away
Fly up to the surface and just start again
And lift off before trouble
Just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us and see roses
In the rain
Sing slow it down
Slow it down
Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world
Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world

Coldplay | Violet Hill | /c/coldplay/violet+hill_20742175.html | Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
[Chorus]
If you love me
Won't you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fox
Became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
Bury me in armour
When I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfold
[Chorus]
I don't want to be a soldier
With the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below
So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?
I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All the time she was silent and still
[Chorus: x2]

Coldplay | Viva La Vida | /c/coldplay/viva+la+vida_20738288.html | I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Chorus]
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never rule this world
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]

Coldplay | Warning Sign | /c/coldplay/warning+sign_20032633.html | A warning sign
I missed the good part, then I realized
I started looking and the bubble burst
I started looking for excuses
Come on in
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign
When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so
A warning sign
It came back to haunt me, and I realized
That you were an island and I passed you by
When you were an island to discover
Come on in
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign
When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
I miss you so
And I'm tired
I should not have let you go
Oooooooo
So I crawl back into your open arms
Yes I crawl back into your open arms
And I crawl back into your open arms
Yes I crawl back into your open arms

Coldplay | We Found Love | /c/coldplay/we+found+love_20987570.html | Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Shine a light through an open door
Love and life I will divide
Turn away cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Coldplay | We Never Change | /c/coldplay/we+never+change_20032646.html | I want to live life
Never be cruel
I want to live life
Be good to you
I want to fly
And never come down
And live my life
And have friends around
We never change do we
We never learn do we
So I want to live in a wooden house
I want to live life always be true
I want to live life and be good to you
I want to fly and never come down
And live my life
And have friends around
We never change do we
No no
We never learn do we
So I want to live in a wooden house
Making more friends would be easy
Oh and I don't have a soul to save
Yes and I sin every single day
We never change do we
We never learn do we
So I want to live in a wooden house
Making more friends would be easy
I want to live where the sun comes out

Coldplay | What If | /c/coldplay/what+if_10069031.html | What if there was no lie
Nothing wrong, nothing right
What if there was no time
And no reason, or rhyme
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life
What if I got it wrong
And no poem or song
Could put right what I got wrong
Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in you life
Oooooooh that's right
Lets take a breath try to put it aside
Ooooooh that's right
How can you know it if you don't even try
Ooooooh that's right
Every step that you take
Could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break
That's the risk that you take
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there in your life
That you don't want me there by your side
Oooooooh that's right
Lets take a breath try to put it aside
Ooooooh that's right
How can you know when you don't even try
Ooooooh that's right

Coldplay | What's Going On | /c/coldplay/whats+going+on_20340766.html | (Chris feat. Bono on All Star Tribute)
Bono: Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Chris: Brother, brother, brother
There's too many of you dying
You know you've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here to stay
Bono: Father, father
We don't need to escalate
And war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
Chris: You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here to stay
Picket lines won't block our way
Bono: Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, and you can see
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Together we can be strong
Chris: You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here to stay
Picket lines won't block our way
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
What's going on, What's going on
What's going on, What's going on
What's going on, What's going on

Coldplay | Where Is My Boy? | /c/coldplay/where+is+my+boy_20339978.html | Where is my boy?
I saw you come out of a scene
Maybe in some kind of dream
Something that never comes
Time that I take...
See over in arms I'll raise
I'll race in to find you
I'll race in to find you
Time stands
I open your eyes to my world
I see you come out of it all
Unharmed and unscathed
And shouting, oh
Come on in
In houses I live in
And changes you're making
To the state of affairs
Calling "where is my boy?"
I have seen you so often
I cry "where is my boy?"
Oh, have you all forgotten?
And in some kind of dream
Have I seen you before
Oh, have I seen you before?
Oh, where is my boy?
So come all the way
Changing your number
Changing the house where you live
Change your lines
Have I seen you before?
In some kind of a dream?
In a place you've forgotten
A place I've forgotten
So where is my boy?
When I kneel in your arms
I flew awry
Where is my boy?
Have I seen you before?
In some kind of a dream?
Have I seen you before?
In some kind of a dream?
In my hands you'll fall
Open in as it seems
Have I seen you before?
Oh baby, your arms and your legs are shattered
Where is my boy?
Where is my boy?
I said "where is my boy?"
Have you seen me before?
When I look in your eyes
Tell me "he had to go"
Said "I seen you before
In some kind of dream"
Seems I've seen you before
In some kind of a dream
I say "where is the boy?"
Have I seen you before?
Yeah, I saw you before
In some kind of a dream
I say "where was my head?
When I needed it most?"
Oh, I stayed here before
Yes I stay in the place I know.

Coldplay | White Shadows | /c/coldplay/white+shadows_10069033.html | When I was a young boy I tried to listen
And I want to feel like that
Little white shadows blink and I missed em
Part of a system I am
If you ever feel like something's missing
Things you'll never understand
Little white shadows sparkle and glisten
Part of a system plan
All this noise, I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up
All this sound is breaking up
Whoa oh
Maybe you'll get what you wanted
Maybe you'll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state
Maybe you'll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it you'll mean it
And when you find it you'll keep it
In a permanent state
A permanent state
When I was a young boy I tried to listen
Don't you want to feel like that
You're part of the human race
All of the stars and the outer space
Part of the system plan
All this noise, I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up
I cannot hear, you're breaking up
Whoa oh
Maybe you'll get what you wanted
Maybe you'll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state
Maybe you'll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it
And when you find it you'll keep it
In a permanent state
A permanent state
Swimming on a sea of faces
A tide of the human race
So, an answer now is what I need
I see it in the new sun rising
I see it break on your horizon
Oh come on love, stay with me

Coldplay | Why Does It Always Rain On Me | /c/coldplay/why+does+it+always+rain+on+me_20512659.html | I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by an invisible man
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything's all right
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on....

Coldplay | X Marks The Spot | /c/coldplay/x+marks+the+spot_21104554.html | So I reach for it
Stare in the darkness, stare in the doom
My heart ba boom, ba boom, boom
Stare in the darkness, and the defeat
Come along when I'm finding no peace
And I know, and I know, and I know
I know I'm unlocked
And I know, and I know, and I know
I know what you got
So I put my hands up to the sky
Feeling life, got a rocket ship that I wanna ride
Put my hands up to the sky and it's alright
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
So I race for it
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
So I race for it
Stare in the darkness, stare in the doom
You make my heart ba boom, ba boom, boom
Superhero, masterpiece
Been innocent but a sinner in me
And I know, and I know, and I know
I know I'm in love
And I know, and I know, and I know
I know when I'm lost
I just put my hands up to the sky
I'm feeling life, got a rocket ship that I wanna ride
Put my hands up to the sky, feeling inside
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
Put my hands up to the sky, feeling alright
I got a rocket, eyes on the prize
Put my hands up to the sky, I'm gonna fly
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
So I race for it
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
So I race for it
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
So I race for it
And I know, and I know, and I know
Know what I got
X marks the spot
Put my hands up to the sky, feeling life
I got a rocket ship that I wanna ride
Put my hands up to the sky, feeling inside
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
Put my hands up to the sky, feeling alright
I got a rocket, eyes on the prize
Put my hands up to the sky, I'm gonna fly
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure

Coldplay | Yellow | /c/coldplay/yellow_20032647.html | Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah they were all yellow
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow
So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know you know I love you so
You know I love you so
I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know
For you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry
It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

Coldplay | Yes | /c/coldplay/yes_20746054.html | When it started we had high hopes
Now my back's on the line
My back's on the ropes
When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool of us in daylight
Yeah we were dying of frustration
Saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Since they gone
If you'll only, if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God only, God knows I'm trying my best
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
So, up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop, then they let go
There's only screaming
Let the windows, down
As I crawl to the ground
If you'll only, if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows she won't let me rest
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness.

Coldplay | You Only Live Twice | /c/coldplay/you+only+live+twice_10069024.html | You only live twice
Oh, so it seems
One life for yourself
And one for your dreams
You drift through the years
And life seems stray
Till one dream appears
And love is its way
I'd love you to strangers
Ooh, beckon you on
Don't think of the danger
For a stranger is gone
This dream is for you
So pay the price
Make one dream come true
You only live twice
This dream is for you
So pay the price
Make one dream come true
You only live twice
You only live twice

Cole Porter | All Of You | /c/cole+porter/all+of+you_20816177.html | I love the look of you, the lure of you
The sweet of you, the pure of you
The eyes, the arms, the mouth of you
The east, west, north and the south of you
I'd love to gain complete control of you
And handle even the heart and soul of you
So love, at least, a small percent of me, do
For I love all of you
I'd love to gain complete control of you
And handle even the heart and soul of you
So love, at least, a small percent of me, do
For I love all of you, for I love all of you

Cole Porter | Anything Goes | /c/cole+porter/anything+goes_20289240.html | Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
If today
Any shock they should try to stem
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them.
In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking.
But now, God knows,
Anything goes.
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose.
Anything goes.
If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like,
Or me undressed you like,
Why, nobody will oppose.
When ev'ry night the set that's smart is in-
Truding in nudist parties in
Studios.
Anything goes.
When Missus Ned McLean (God bless her)
Can get Russian reds to "yes" her,
Then I suppose
Anything goes.
When Rockefeller still can hoard en-
Ough money to let Max Gordon
Produce his shows,
Anything goes.
The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
And that gent today
You gave a cent today
Once had several chateaux.
When folks who still can ride in jitneys
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys
Lack baby clo'es,
Anything goes.
If Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
Instruct Anna Sten in diction,
Then Anna shows
Anything goes.
When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
Now turns a handspring landing up-
On her toes,
Anything goes.
Just think of those shocks you've got
And those knocks you've got
And those blues you've got
From that news you've got
And those pains you've got
(If any brains you've got)
From those little radios.
So Missus R., with all her trimmin's,
Can broadcast a bed from Simmons
'Cause Franklin knows
Anything goes.

Cole Porter | Down In The Depths (On The Ninetieth Floor)- Ballard, Kaye | /c/cole+porter/down+in+the+depths+on+the+ninetieth+floor+ballard+kaye_20191645.html | Down In The Depths"
by Cole Porter
With a million neon rainbows burning below me,
And a million blazing taxis raising a roar,
Here I sit, above the town,
In my pet-paillated gown,
Down in the depths
of the ninetieth floor.
While the crowds in all the nightclubs punish the parquet,
And the bars are packed with couples calling for more,
I'm deserted and depressed
In my regal-eagle nest,
Down in the depths
of the ninetieth floor.
When the only one you wanted wants another,
What's the use of swank and cash in the bank galore?
Why, even the janitor's wife
Has a perfectly good love life,
And here I am, facing tomorrow,
Alone in my sorrow,
Down in the depths
of the ninetieth floor

Cole Porter | Easy To Love | /c/cole+porter/easy+to+love_20355129.html | You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every home fire burning for
And we would be so grand at the game
Carefree together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
Cause you'd be, oh, so easy to love
You'd be so easy to love
Easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep all the home fires burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
Cause you'd be, oh, so easy to love
Easy to love
Easy to love

Cole Porter | I Concentrate On You | /c/cole+porter/i+concentrate+on+you_21008163.html | Whenever skies look gray to me
And trouble begins to brew,
Whenever the Winter winds become too strong,
I concentrate on you.
When fortune cries "Nay! Nay!" to me
And people declare "You're through!",
Whenever the blues become my only song,
I concentrate on you.
On your smile so sweet, so tender,
When at first your kiss I decline.
On the light in your eyes when I surrender,
And once again our arms intertwine
And so, when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true,
To prove that even wise men can be wrong,
I concentrate on you.

Cole Porter | I Hate Men | /c/cole+porter/i+hate+men_20220770.html | I hate men
I can't abide 'em even now and then
Than ever marry one of them, I'd rest a maiden rather
For husbands are a boring lot and only give you bother
Of course, I'm awfully glad that mother deemed to marry father
But I hate men
Of all the types I've ever met within our democracy
I hate the most the athlete with his manner bold and brassy
He may have hair upon his chest but, sister, so has Lassie
Oh, I hate men
I hate men
They should be kept like piggies in a pen
Don't wed a trav'ling salesman though a tempting Tom he may be
For on your wedding night he may be off to far Araby
While he's away in Mandalay it is thee who have the baby
Oh, I hate men
If thou shouldst wed a businessman, be wary, oh, be wary
He'll tell you he's detained in town on business necessary
His business is the business with his pretty secretary
Oh, I hate men
I hate men
Though roosters they, I will not play the hen
If you espouse an older man through girlish optimism
He'll always stay at home at night and make no criticism
Though you may call it love, the doctors call it rheumatism
Oh, I hate men
From all I've read alone in bed, from A to Z, about them
Since love is blind, then from the mind, all womankind should rout them
But, ladies, you must answer too, what would we do without them?
Still, I hate men

Cole Porter | Just One Of Those Things | /c/cole+porter/just+one+of+those+things_20226419.html | It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things
It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things
If we'd thought a bit before the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

Cole Porter | Love For Sale | /c/cole+porter/love+for+sale_20247895.html | When the only sound on the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
The moon so long has been gazing down
On the warward ways of this wayward town
Her smile becomes a smirk, I go to work
Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled
Love that's only slightly soiled
Love for sale
Who will buy
Who would like to sample my supply
Who's prepared to pay the price
For a trip to paradise
Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love
In their childish ways
I know every type of love
Better far than they
If you want the thrill of love
I've been through the mill of love
Old love
New love
Every love but true love
Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
If you want to buy my wares
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale

Cole Porter | Miss Otis Regrets | /c/cole+porter/miss+otis+regrets_20640262.html | Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
She is sorry to be delayed
But last evening down in Lover's Lane
She strayed, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
When she woke up and found
That her dream of love was gone, madam
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her love down, madam
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
When the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail, madam
They strung her upon the old willow across the way
And the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

Cole Porter | Night And Day | /c/cole+porter/night+day_20274518.html | Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon, under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter darlin', where you are
I think of you night and day
Night and day, why's it so
That this longing for you, follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you night and day
Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an ooh, such a hungry yearning, burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and Night
Night and Day

Cole Porter | Paris Loves Lovers | /c/cole+porter/paris+loves+lovers_20826876.html | Gaze on the glistening lights below and above
Oh, what a night of nights for people in love
No city but this my friend, no city I know
Gives romance such a chance to grow and grow
Paris loves lovers, for lovers it's heaven above
Paris tells lovers, love is supreme, wake up your dream and make love
Only in Paris one discovers the urge to merge with the splurge of the spring
Paris loves lovers for lovers know that love is everything
Paris loves lovers, for lovers it's heaven above
(Capitalistic, characteristic, sensualistic, they should be atheistic)
Paris tells lovers, love is supreme, wake up your dream and make love
(Imperialistic, I'm pessimistic, that's anti communistic)
Only in Paris one discovers the urge to merge with the splurge of the spring
(Militaristic, you're optimistic, du jour propaganda)
Paris loves lovers for lovers know that love is everything
(Unrealistic, is individualistic and not at all collectivistic but a low
Totalitarianistic thing)

Cole Porter | So In Love | /c/cole+porter/so+in+love_20277811.html | Strange dear, but true dear,
When I'm close to you, dear,
The stars fill the sky,
So in love with you am I.
Even without you,
My arms fold about you,
You know darling why,
So in love with you am I.
In love with the night mysterious,
The night when you first were there,
In love with my joy delirious,
When I knew that you could care,
So taunt me, and hurt me,
Deceive me, desert me,
I'm yours, till I die.....
So in love.... So in love....
So in love with you, my love... Am I....

Cole Porter | True Love | /c/cole+porter/true+love_20325952.html | Suntanned, windblown
Honeymooners at last alone
Feeling far above par
Oh, how lucky we are
While I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on it will always be
True love, true love
For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever, true
For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever, true
Love forever...true

Cole Porter | Under My Skin | /c/cole+porter/under+my+skin_20640261.html | I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
So why should I try to resist, when darling I know so well
I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know little fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin

Cole Porter | Well Did You Evah! | /c/cole+porter/well+did+you+evah_21008153.html | Have you heard? The coast of Maine just got caught in a hurricane?
Well did you ever? What a swell party this is!
Have you heard that poor dear Blanche got run down by an avalanche?
Well, did you ever? What a swell party this is!
What daiquiris! What sherry, please! What burgundy! What pommery!
Have you heard? Professor Munch ate his wife and divorced his lunch?
Well, did you ever ? What a swell party this is!
Misses Smith in her new Hup crossed the bridge when the bridge was up,
Well, did you ever ? What a swell part this is!
What brandy, wow! What whiskey, here's how!
What gin and what beer, will you sober up, dear?

Cole Porter | What Is This Thing Called Love | /c/cole+porter/what+is+this+thing+called+love_20341406.html | I was a humdrum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in through my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?
You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'Til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?

Cole Porter | Where Is The Life That Late I Led? | /c/cole+porter/where+is+the+life+that+late+i+led_20339895.html | Since I reached the charming age of puberty
And began to think of feminine curls
Like a show that's typically Shuberty
I have always had a multitude of girls
But now that a married man at last am I
How aware of my dear departed past am I
Where is the life that late I led?
Where is it now? Totally dead!
Where is the fun I used to find?
Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!
A married life may all be well
But raising an heir could never compare
With raising a bit of hell
So I repeat what first I said
Where is the life that late I...
In dear Milano, where are you Momo?
Still selling those pictures of the scriptures in the duomo
And Carolina, where are you, 'lina?
Still peddling your pizza in the streets-a Toremina
And in Firenze, where are you Alice?
Still there in your pretty itty-bitty pity palace
And sweet Lucretia, so young and gay
What scandalous doings in the ruins of Pompeii
Where is the life that late I led?
Where is it now? Totally dead!
Where is the fun I used to find?
Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!
The marriage game is quite all right
Yes during the day it's easy to play
But oh what a bore at night
So I repeat what first I said
Where is the life that late I...
Where is Rebecca? My Becky-wecky-oh
Could still she be cruising that amusing Pontevecchio?
Where is Fedora, the wild virago?
It's lucky I missed her gangster sister from Chicago
Where is Venetia, who loved to chat so?
Could still she be drinking in her stinking pink palazzo?
And lovely Lisa, where are you Lisa?
You gave a new meaning to the Leaning Tower of Piza
Where is the life that late I led?
Where is it now? Totally dead!
Where is the fun I used to find?
Where has it gone? Gone with the wind!
I've oft been told of nuptial bliss
But what do you do at quarter to two
With only a shrew to kiss?
So I repeat what first I said
Where is the life that late I led

Conway Twitty | A Bridge That Just Won't Burn | /c/conway+twitty/a+bridge+that+just+wont+burn_20159122.html | A Bridge That Just Won't Burn
I threw away the pictures of those better days in Dallas
But I can't throw away these pictures in my mind
She's a page of precious memories
I've tried hard to turn
She's standing on a bridge that just won't burn
If only time will heal the hurt
Then this may last forever
I may never know how it feels to forget
Every time I think about her
Those old feelings still return
She's standing on a bridge that just won't burn
I've burned a lot of bridges in my time
But the one I just crossed over
It ain't the burning kind
She's that once in a lifetime
Kind of love that never will return
She's standing on a bridge that just won't burn
She's standing on a bridge that just won't burn

Conway Twitty | A Fallen Star | /c/conway+twitty/a+fallen+star_20512036.html | A star fell from Heaven
Right into my arms
The brightest star I know I've never seen
Then I found out that it was
Only you and all your charms
You came into my life to fill a dream.
A fallen star, that's what you are
The twinkle in your eye came from the sky
You must have sailed from the Milky Way
A fallen star, that's what you are.
The heavens must be lonely now that you are mine,
I'm sure they'll miss a star as bright as you.
But the stars will send their blessings and brighter they will shine,
For when they see the dream that's coming true.
A fallen star, that's what you are
That twinkle that's in your eye came from the sky
You must have sailed from the Milky Way
A fallen star, that's what you are...
(A fallen star)...

Conway Twitty | A Huggin' And A Kissin' | /c/conway+twitty/huggin+and+a+kissin_20212365.html | Didn't know what I was missin'
All those nights of a huggin' and a kissin'
Making love on a night in June
Looking at the stars around the silvery moon.
Next day the sun was shinin'
The whole world had a silver linin'
The moonlight so alone and blue,
No more nights making love without you.
Last night we did our hearts command
We went to see the preacher man
Now I know what I've been missin'
Too many nights without a huggin' and a kissin'.
All around town it's been told
Now you wear a band of gold
If that's the way it was meant to be,
Before you and you for me, aww.
Last night we did our hearts command
We went to see the preacher man
Now I know what I've been missin'
Too many nights without a huggin' and a kissin'.
All around town it's been told
Now you wear a band of gold
If that's the way it was meant to be,
Before you and you for me, oh.
I need your huggin' and kissin',
I gotta have your huggin' and kissin'.
Got to have your huggin' and kissin',
Oh baby, I need your (huggin' and kissin')

Conway Twitty | A Little Bird Told Me | /c/conway+twitty/a+little+bird+told+me_20512047.html | A little bird told me that you love me
And I believe that you do
This little bird told me I was fallin'
Fallin' for no one but you.
There's no use denying
I might as well confess
Of all the girls I know, dear
I'm sure I love you best.
The little bird told me we'd be happy
And I believe that it's true
This little bird told me we'd be married
Yea, Yea, And I believe that it's true.
We'll have a pretty cottage
Not too far
All fenced in like a movie stars
We'll call him Ace
Lying there by the fireplace
A goldfish pond and a wishing well
Everything is gonna turn out swell.
A little bird told me we'd be happy
Yea, yea, And I believe that it's true
For I believe that it's true
Don't you know that I believe that it's true
Well baby, I believe that it's true...

Conway Twitty | A Little Of You | /c/conway+twitty/a+little+of+you_20512046.html | Today, I put on your favorite shirt
I know you won't see me but what can it hurt
It's just a piece of your memory that stayed behind
It hangs in my closet and here in my mind
Oh, oh, in everything that I do
There will always be a little of you
In my soul emblazoned and blue
There will always be a little of you
In every smile I have to force on my face
In every tear that I ever taste
In every victory that I like to share
In every loss when I wish you were there beside me
Oh, oh, in everything that I do
There will always be a little of you
In my soul emblazoned and blue
There will always be a little of you
I'm all over the pain
But the scars remain to remind me
Oh, oh, in everything that I do
There will always be a little of you
In my soul emblazoned and blue
There will always be a little of you
Oh, oh, there's a little of you

Conway Twitty | A Stranger's Point Of View | /c/conway+twitty/a+strangers+point+of+view_20512044.html | I never saw a single tear, if she cried it would never show
Maybe she was lonely, I didn't take the time to know
I never thought I'd see the day I'd miss her like I do
Until the day I saw her from a stranger's point of view.
She never even noticed me. If she did she wouldn't say
But she never looked so lovely as when she turned and walked away
Now someone else is holdin' her just like I used to do
I can see it all so clearly now from a stranger's point of view.
This stranger's eyes can't take the pain of seeing her like this
This stranger's eyes can't overlook everything I missed
I never thought I'd see the day I'd miss her like I do
Until the day I looked at her from a stranger's point of view...

Conway Twitty | A Tree In The Meadow | /c/conway+twitty/a+tree+in+the+meadow_20512043.html | In the country lies a meadow
In the meadow stands a tree
'Neath the tree flows a river
But my fondest memory.
Is the tree in the meadow
With a stream drifting by
And carved upon that tree
I see "I'll Love You Till I Die".
I will always remember the love
In your eyes the day you carved
Upon that tree "I'll Love You Till I Die".
And farther on down lovers' lane
A silhouette I see, I know you're
Kissing someone else
I wish that it were me.
By the tree in the meadow
My thoughts always lie
And wherever you go
You'll always know "I'll Love You Till I Die"...

Are sometimes very few
Ain't got no money if you'll be my honey
Here's what I'll offer you.
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy.
Oh, we met by chance and I knew at a glance
That I'd found my destiny
I'd still carry you off and marry you if
You would agree.
To givin' me love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy

Conway Twitty | After All The Good Is Gone | /c/conway+twitty/after+all+the+good+is+gone_20202295.html | Today I got a letter from someone
Just a friend we knew some time ago
And as I read between the lines
I began to realize
He didn't know I'd lost you
A long long time ago
Oh, I, just can't make it any longer
Everything I do is always wrong
I'm just living a lie
And there's no use in trying
To keep hanging on
After all the good is gone
Lord I wish that I could die
And there's no use in trying
To keep hanging on
After all the good is gone

Conway Twitty | Ages And Ages Ago | /c/conway+twitty/ages+and+ages+ago_20512039.html | I remember when I made you cry
Ages and ages ago
I'll never blame you for our last good bye
Ages and ages ago.
Something told me when you walked away
That my poor heart would miss you so
And though it happened only yesterday
It seemed ages and ages ago.
Someone came along and took my place
How wrong I was to let you go
And though it happened only yesterday
It seemed ages and ages ago.
Something told me when you walked away
That my poor heart would miss you so
And though it happened only yesterday
It seemed ages and ages ago.

Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Unfaithful life I took her life in the twinklin' of an eye
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
I found her in the arms of my best friend
And I vowed she's never gonna hurtin' me again
And in a bitter anger I shoot them where they lied
And the last words she spoke God forgive me then she died
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
[ guitar ]
The neighbors gathered round so they could see
Oh my God what have you done they started asking me
So I placed a gun up to my head and this was my reply
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Oh ain't it sad to stand and watch love die

Conway Twitty | Ain't She Something Else | /c/conway+twitty/aint+she+somethin+else_20276102.html | Don't you like the way she talks to you
When she's feeling woman warm
And don't it make you feel so good
Just to know she's yours all by yourself
Don't you like to see the sun go down
When she's lying close to you
And can't you feel her all around
And when she loves you ain't she something else
Chorus:
Ain't she just some kind of lover in the morning
Can't your arms feel the warmness where she slept
Ain't she just all that you have ever wanted
And when she loves you ain't she something else
Don't you like the way she clings to you
And loves you 'til there's nothing left
Now tell me don't her lips taste good
And when she loves you ain't she somthing else
Repeat Chorus:
Lord, When she loves me she's sure something else

That drifts through your mind from time to time
I could never be more than a knock on your door.
Just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine.
For you know I'm not free and I never can be
And you're bound to get restless in time.
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind.
Tonight I'll she'd a silent tear while lying here with you.
The sands of time have trickled down to just a precious few.
You're young and so beautiful and I'm so glad I'm here
But the ending painfully clear.
All I can be is a sweet memory
Of someone you had to leave behind.
Who loves you and needs you but never could give you
A ring for your finger so fine.
So tonight let's just borrow one memory for tomorrow
'Til we find we've run out of time.
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind.
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind.

There's something you should know
About the years ahead and how they'll be
You'll be living in a world where roses hardly ever grow
'Cause all I have to offer you is me
There'll be no mansions waiting on the hill with crystal chandeliers
And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Everything I have is standing here in front of you to see
All I have to offer you is me
Sweetheart, I'll give you all my love in every way I can
But make sure that's what you want while you're still free
The only gold I have for you is in this wedding band
'Cause all I have to offer you is me
There'll be no mansions waiting on the hill with crystal chandeliers
And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Everything I have is standing here in front of you to see
All I have to offer you is me

Or that twinkle in your eye
Maybe it's the way you hold me
And keep me satisfied
Just as long as you love me
I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life.
Maybe it's the way I sometimes catch you
With my reflection in your eyes
Maybe it's the times I tease you
And you laugh until you cry
Just as long as you love me
I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life.

Conway Twitty | Almighty Power | /c/conway+twitty/almighty+power_20512019.html | When you feel like you've come to the end of your way you need love
When all you get is lonesome at the end of the day you need love
When you've lived the lifetime in a night still there's darkness above
There's no way to measure the almighty power of a good woman's love.
When you got an old mem'ry that refuses to die you need love
When you feel someone special has long passed you by you need love
When you've lived the lifetime in a night still there's darkness above
There's no way to measure the almighty power of a good woman's love.
A good woman's love is all that any man needs
Give me a good woman's love my heart my sould and mind plead
When there's someone somewhere that you're thinking of
There's no way to measure the almighty power of a good woman's love...

Conway Twitty | Almost Persuaded | /c/conway+twitty/almost+persuaded_20240048.html | Last night all alone in a barroom
Met the girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man.
Then she came and sat down at my table
And as she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine.
And I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded
To put my conscience aside.
Then we danced and she whispered I need you
Take me away from here and be my man
Then I looked in her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band.
And I was almost persuaded
To let soft lips lead me on
Almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home...

Conway Twitty | Amazing Love | /c/conway+twitty/amazing+love_20512017.html | When she wakes up this morning and turns to kiss me
She'll find I let her sleep 'cause we talked so late last night
She'll know I kissed her face gently till my returning
And when she finds the rose on my pillow, I know she'll smile
Her amazing love, unending
Is so much more than I am worthy of
If the rose could speak my feelings
She'd know I cherished her amazing love
If I call her a little late she forgives me
Her voice does not betray, she's spent another day alone
She softly thanks me for the rose and says, I miss you
And then I can feel her smiling on the phone
Her amazing love, unending
Is so much more than I am worthy of
If the rose could speak my feelings
She'd know, I cherished her amazing love [unverified]

Conway Twitty | Amos Moses | /c/conway+twitty/amos+moses_20512016.html | Now Amos Moses was a Cajun he lived by himself in the swamp
He haunted alligators for a livin' he just knock 'em in the head with a stump
The Louisiana law's gonna get ya Amos
It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boy
Now everybody blames his old man for makin' him mean as a snake
When Amos Moses was a boy his daddy would use him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his waist throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou
About forty five minutes southeast of Tippidoe Louisiana
Live a man called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah
Well they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groc'ries
Named him after the man of the cloth called him Amos Moses
Now folks around south Louisiana said Amos was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest the meanest alligator and just use only one hand
That's all he got left cause the alligator bit him
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow
Well the sheriff got wind that Amos was in the swamp trappin' alligator skins
So he snook in the swamp gonna get the boy but he never come out again
Well I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
About forty five minutes
About forty five minutes

Conway Twitty | An Old Memory Like Me | /c/conway+twitty/an+old+memory+like+me_20277088.html | There's a clock on the wall
At the end of the hall
That hasn't kept time in years
There's an old tattered bear
In the bedroom somewhere
'Cause you can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
There's an old box of letters
I know you still save
'Cause you're too sentimental
To throw them away
But is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me
There's an old satin gown
Been twice handed down
You were savin' for your wedding day
But you married in haste
What a terrible waste
And it never got used anyway
There's a bottle of champagne
It's French 59
But you might as well drink it
To happier times
Is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me
I used to tease you
'Cause you couldn't part with
Things that were no use at all
Now I'm afraid that you'll
Toss them away after all
Like the clock on the wall
At the end of the hall
That hasn't kept time in years
Like the old tattered bear
In the bedroom somewhere
You can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
There's a bottle of champagne
It's French 59
But you might as well drink it
To happier times
Is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me
Is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me

My hand is trembling
As the key unlocks the door
My legs are shaky
As I walk across the floor
My voice weakens
As I call out, "I'm home!"
Do my eyes deceive me
Or is my baby gone
Baby's gone, she couldn't stand to tell me
Face to face
And things just ain't the way they used
To be around this place
Her perfume lingers
Where she once lay her head
And I can almost taste the teardrops
That she shed
As she searched her mind
And tried to find
Just where our love went wrong
But it's ended and it's over
Baby's gone

Down on the corner, by the traffic light,
Everybody's lookin', as she goes by.
They turn their heads and they watch her till she's gone.
Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans on.
Up by the bus stop, and across the street,
Open up their windows, to take a peek,
As she goes walkin', rockin' like a rollin stone.
Heaven help us, baby's got her blue jeans on
She can't help it if she's made that way.
She's not to blame if they look her way.
She ain't really tryin' to cause a scene.
It just comes naturally,
No, the girl can't help it.
Well up on main street, by the taxi stand
There's a crowd of people, and a traffic jam.
She don't look back, she ain't doin nothin' wrong
Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans on.
She can't help it if she's made that way.

Conway Twitty | Back Home Again | /c/conway+twitty/back+home+again_20512162.html | There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin' in
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away
The whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder
He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the sky
Ten days on the road are barely gone
There's a fire softly burnin', suppers on the stove
It's the light in your eyes that makes him warm
Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again
There's all the news to tell him, how'd you spend your time
What's the latest thing the neighbors say?
And your mother called last Friday, sunshine made her cry
You felt the baby move just yesterday
Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again
Oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down
Feel your fingers feather soft upon me
The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
The happiness that livin' with you brings me
It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you
It's the little things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burnin' and supper on the stove
The light in your eyes that makes me warm
Hey, it's good to be back home again, you know it is
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again
I said hey, it's good to be back home again

Conway Twitty | Back Street Affair | /c/conway+twitty/back+street+affair_20512023.html | You didn't know I wasn't free
When you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart, you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
The world has tumbled in your face
Because they call our love a back street affair.
They say you wrecked my home
I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to
Was the first to be untrue
And yet they call our love a back street affair.
We have each other now
That's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong
Then some day they'll see they're wrong
So let 'em call our love a back street affair.
We'll be free to love someday
When all the talk has died away
And the happiness we hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high
And then the world can hear me cry
That our love's not a back street affair...

Conway Twitty | Back When Judy Loved Me | /c/conway+twitty/back+when+judy+loved+me_20455827.html | There was backstreets of Birmingham
Taking my clothes and my food and a trash can
Sleeping in alleys at night, making love to a bottle of wine
Cause you know life is to succeed
But that was back when Judy loved me
Somewhere in yesterday, seems a million miles away.
Back in the days Judy used to beg me to take her away
But I was too young and livin' was fun
I didn't know how time would change me
Life slid by me too fast, the fun didn't last
It's too late to get back to the days when Judy loved me.
Riding a freight train goin' nowhere
Don't use mirrors anymore, they show my grey hair
Giving my place in the welfare line
Trading my soup for a bottle of wine
Cause you know life is to succeed
But that was back when Judy loved me.
Somewhere in yesterday, seems a million miles away
Back in the days Judy used to beg me to take her away
But I was too young and livin' was fun
I didn't know how time would change me.
Life slid by me too fast, the fun didn't last
It's too late to get back to the days when Judy loved me
Back when Judy loved me.

Conway Twitty | Bad Boy | /c/conway+twitty/bad+boy_20455826.html | Everyday your husband goes to work from nine to five
Wakes up in the morning and puts on his coat and tie
Sits down at the table with some coffee and the news
"Two eggs over easy," girl, that's all he says to you
The kids are all in school now and you sit home alone
Spendin' all your time down it the basement a-washin' clothes
Somehow this just ain't the way you dreamed love would be
I can look into your eyes and tell just what you need.
You need a bad boy
To love you up and down
A bad boy
To take you on the town
It's plain to see what you need's
A little bit of mystery
You need a bad boy
A bad boy like me.
Every night at six o'clock he walks on through the door
Lays down on the couch and throws his shoes off on the floor
Tonight was gonna be the night he took you to a show
Now he's much too tired and he doesn't wanna go
Once again you spend the night in front of the TV
In bed you turn to touch him but he's already asleep.
You need a bad boy
To love you up and down
A bad boy
To take you on the town
It's plain to see what you need's
A little bit of mystery
You need a bad boy
A bad boy like me
Bad boy

Conway Twitty | Bad Girl | /c/conway+twitty/bad+girl_20805310.html | She's not a bad girl she's just a sad girl
Please don't blame her for what she's done to me
I know it doesn't look too good for her
And I suppose she's done the things you say
And I guess it's true I tried more than I should for her
But it's not her fault that she turned out that way
She's not a bad girl...
[ guitar - steel ]
Once she was the kind of girl you'd have her be
But I was foolish then and didn't care
The first of us to ever slip around was me
And to place the blame on her just isn't fair
She's not a bad girl...
Please don't blame her for what she's done to me

Conway Twitty | Bad Man | /c/conway+twitty/bad+man_20512034.html | I have the reputation that's known throughout the land
They say I'm master on the draw of any livin' man
They call me a bad man, they say I kill for fun
They say the only thing I know is how to use a gun
But they don't know the reason they branded me as bad
It started many years ago when I was just a lad
I rode into a cattle town, a boy of twenty-three
So young and yet that very day I carved my destiny
I walked into the town saloon that sad and faithful day
Then I began to gamble to pass the time away
I thought I played a hand or two then hit the thrill again
But Lady Luck was with me and I began to win
The dealer kept on dealin', the stakes were gettin' high
And pretty soon there was no one left but an old cowboy and I
The minutes seemed like hours, you couldn't hear a sound
We've been in race until we'd lay all our money down
The cowboy smiled and showed his hands, three aces he did hold
But I laid down the royal flush and reached to claim my gold
The cowboy stood and faced me, his hands hung on his hips
A look of hate was in his eyes and the smile had left his lips
He said, "Young man, slap leather, I'm known for miles around
To keep my reputation about I got to gun you down"
White lightnin' speeded through that fire, one life will be the cost
The cowboy crumbled to the floor, his reputation lost
Now years have come and years have gone and many men have died
He's tried his luck and hoped he'd be the fastest gun alive
And in my many fights to live, I wondered if I'd won
I'm known by all the bad men, they think I kill for fun
Someday I'll meet the cowboy who's speed will meet the test
And that will in the saga of the bad man of the west

Conway Twitty | Bad Seed My Daddy Sowed | /c/conway+twitty/bad+seed+my+daddy+sowed_20512035.html | I was found in Wilson County just a mile outside of town
On the doorsteps of two people who brought me up to where I am
I was born to be a loser and my name nobody knows
And as far as they concern I'm just a bad seed daddy sowed
They brough me up to the age of ten before they let me know
And since that day it seemed that life lost its magic glow
But they raised me right and every night in prayer we bowed our heads
And they asked the Lord to light my path and guide each step I made
But the path you're walking on becomes a mighty rocky road
When you know that all you'll ever be is a bad seed daddy sowed
At thirty one my heart was won by a girl half my age
And with love so strong I could see no wrong in decision that I made
And you know I learned that there was truth in all I always been told
Because you can't judge a book by its cover
And everything that's shinin' sure isn't gold
Yes I guess I'm guilty of dreaming an impossible dream
Because the way the things turned out sure isn't way it seemed
And so tonight I'm leavin' behind the only thing I ever had to call my own
And I know as long as you live you're always be a reminder of all my wrongs
But I hope that he'll forgive me when he's old enough to know
That just like me he'll always be the bad seed his daddy sowed

Conway Twitty | Ballad Of Forty Dollars | /c/conway+twitty/ballad+of+forty+dollars_20512033.html | The man who preached the funeral said it really was a simple way to die
He laid down to rest one afternoon and never opened up his eyes
They hired me and Fred and Joe to dig the grave and carry up some chairs
It took us seven hours and I guess we must have drunk a case of beer
I guess I oughta go and watch 'em put him down but I don't own the suit
And anyway when they start talkin' bout the fire and hell well I get spooked
So I'll just sit here in my truck and act like I don't know him when they pass
And anyway when they're all through I've got to go to work and mow the grass
Well here they come and who's that ridin' in that big ole shiny limousine
Hm look at all that chrome I do believe that that's the sharpest thing I've
seen
That must belong to his great uncle someone said he owned a big ole farm
When they get parked I'll mosey down and look it over that won't do no harm
Well that must be the widow in the car and would you take a look at that
That sure is a pretty dress you know some women do look good in black
He's not even in the ground and they say his track is up for sale
They say she took it pretty hard but you can't tell too much behind a veil
Now listen ain't that pretty when the bugler plays the military taps
I think that when you's in the war they always hired and played a song like
that
Well here I am and there they go and I guess you'd call it my bad luck
I hope he'll rest in peace but trouble is that fellow owed me forty bucks

Conway Twitty | Before I'll Set Her Free | /c/conway+twitty/before+ill+set+her+free_20512015.html | I stood and saw the judge's gavel fall
And much to my dismay these words I've heard him say
I've listened to your story boy and it seems to me
You'd be better off if you'll set her free
But I love her I love her down on my knees I cry
And I don't want to lose her heaven knows I try
To make her happy but she wants more than me
And I'll take her like she is before I'll set her free
[ steel ]
Judge I know she loves me in her own kind of way
Even though she hurts me a hundred times a day
You tell me that it's better that I should set her free
But judge what would you do if you were me
You see I love her I love her in spite of all she's done
And I'll keep right on hoping someday that time will come
When she'll decide that she wants only me
And I'll take her like she is before I'll set her free

Conway Twitty | Before The Next Teardrop Falls | /c/conway+twitty/before+the+next+teardrop+falls_20512013.html | If he brings you happiness
Then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if he 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 stand by you if ever you should call
And if I should ever hear
That he's made you she'd 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 every teardrop that you've cried
And if he ever leaves you blue
Just remember that I love you
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls.
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls...

Conway Twitty | Before Your Time | /c/conway+twitty/before+your+time_20512012.html | Other arms have held me before your time
Other lips have thrilled me before your time
Other eyes have seen the light you see in my eyes tonight
Oh but darling that was long before your time
Other hearts have been broken before your time
Unkind words were spoken before your time
Other ears have heard me say the things I say to you today
But darling that was long before your time
Before you came along I sang this same old song before
The melody was born when we walk right to love's door
The words I love you came but I just couldn't sing that line
Oh but darling that was long before your time
Before you came along

Conway Twitty | Best Is Yet To Come | /c/conway+twitty/best+is+yet+to+come_20814138.html | I watched the shadow of her body on the wall
As she slowly moved across the room.
Anticipatin' Lord, I can't stand the waitin'
As I looked through the gown she slipped into.
I hear my heart beating out of time
As I feel her body move so close to mine
With just one touch my soul surrenders
And once again she takes control of me.
But the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come.
I feel her breathin' gently on my shoulder
Lying here in loves sweet after glow
But I still feel the fire
'Cause tonight she took me higher
Than she had ever takin' me before.
Ah, but I know the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come.
Yeah, the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come...

Conway Twitty | Between Blue Eyes And Jeans | /c/conway+twitty/between+blue+eyes+and+jeans_20455824.html | Somewhere between her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams.
And tonight she's out dancing
Drinking and thinking
Feeling a feeling,
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
She looks just like an angel
In a big ole cloud of lonesome
Reflecting her memory
Round a golden wedding ring.
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
Somewhere between, her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
Somewhere between, her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams.
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
She's healing a feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans

Can't you hear me when I call?
Big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call?

Conway Twitty | Big Town | /c/conway+twitty/big+town_20455825.html | This big town is a shelter for me
I found a place to hide my misery
I lost my love so long ago
And though my heart is hurting so
The one I love will never know
As long as I stay
In this big town I find the peace of mind
That only losers in the game of love can find
The years have gone crawling by
This hurt I feel will never die
Somehow I know deep down inside
I'll never get away from this big town
From this big town
In this big town there's a street of misery
And on the street there's a dwelling place for me
In the darkness of my room I try
To sleep but all I do is cry
And still I realize that
I am ever lucky to be here
In this big town so no one else can see
Just what your cheating heart has done to me
The glimmer of the city lights
The shadows of the lonely nights
Will help to hide me while I cry
A hundred dreaded tears
In this big town
In this big town
In this big town
In this big town
In this big town

Conway Twitty | Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain | /c/conway+twitty/blue+eyes+crying+in+the+rain_20455829.html | Just two kids from the country, far from any town
And wherever I played Rose could always be found
Life was hard but we made it and as everyone knows
I was there when she needed me, a playmate of Rose
Now years have passed, things have changed
Since we moved into town
The little girl I grew up with is your woman now I found
And now the sidewalks of the city where
Wild temptation flows
Is her new playground and the playmates of Rose
So if you're the one that's holdin' her tight
Somewhere out there tonight
Please don't treat her as if she's just another girl
From off the street
And please, don't do her wrong
For her pride is almost gone
For you see Rose means the world to me
I love the girl you found out in the world
The girl that every man knows
But I love her today so different from your way
For you see, I'm the brother of Rose

Conway Twitty | Blue Moon | /c/conway+twitty/blue+moon_20156417.html | Once upon a time, before I took up smiling
I hated the moonlight
Shadows of the night like the poorest find beguiling
Seems flat as the moonlight
With no one to stay up for
I went to sleep at ten
And life was a bitter cup
For the saddest of all men
Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon

Three to get ready, now go, cat, go
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything but get off of my blue suede shoes
Well, you can knock me down, step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything you want to do, but uhh baby, get off of my shoes
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything but get off of my blue suede shoes
Well, you can burn my house, steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
Do anything you want to do, but uhh baby, lay off of my shoes
And don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything but get off of my blue suede shoes
Well, it's one for the money, two for the show

Yes, On Blueberry hill
On Blueberry hill
Woo, When I found you.
My heart stood still
Right there on Blueberry hill
You know it ain't good until
All my dreams came true.
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
And all of those vows we made
Are never to be.
Though we're apart
You know I dream of you still
Cause you were my thrill
On Blueberry hill.
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
And all of those vows we made
Are never to be.
Though we're apart
You know I dream of you still
Cause you were my thrill
Down on Blueberry hill

Conway Twitty | Boogie Grass Band | /c/conway+twitty/boogie+grass+band_20153373.html | There's a new kind of music going round
It's known as the boogie grass sound
So grab her partner and swing her around
And dance to the boogie grass sound
I love to hear Bill sing about Kentucky
And the Allman Brother's 'Rambling Man'
We pulled the music all together
So dance to the boogie grass band
Well my daddy played the banjo and saws the fiddle too
And taught me how to sing and play for you
I got bluegrass in my soul and rhythm in my feet
And dance to the boogie grass beat
I love to hear Bill sing about Kentucky
And the Allman Brother's 'Rambling Man'
We pulled the music all together

I love to hear Bill sing about Kentucky
And the Allman Brother's 'Rambling Man'

So dance to the boogie grass band

Conway Twitty | Borderline | /c/conway+twitty/borderline_20512010.html | A man can only last so long.
Before temptation gets too strong.
But I'm doin' all I know to do.
To try and stay away from you.
You got me right on the Borderline.
[Chorus]
Borderline.
Don't let me cross over.
She's right behind me in the moonlight.
Lord knows I've tried to think of my lover.
Borderline.
Don't let me cross her tonight.
You know I got a woman at home.
That I sure hate to leave alone.
But still you just keep comin' on like I'm not made of flesh and bone.
You got me right on the Borderline.
Promises are easy made.
In the heat of passion, light of day.
But let that daylight start to fade and your best laid plans might get mis-
layed.
When you're right on the Borderline.
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
