Didn't Leave Nothing But The Baby
/e/emmylou+harris/didnt+leave+nothing+but+the+baby_20504429.html
Go to sleep you little baby Go to sleep you little baby Your momma's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay Don't leave nobody but the baby Go to sleep you little baby Go to sleep you little baby Everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn Didn't leave nobody but the baby Your sweet little baby Your sweet little baby Honey in the rock and the sugar don't stop Gonna bring a bottle to the baby Don't you weep pretty baby Don't you weep pretty baby She's long gone with her red shoes on Gonna need another loving baby Go to sleep little baby Go to sleep little baby You and me and the devil makes three Don't need no other loving baby Go to sleep you little baby Go to sleep you little baby Come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones And be my ever loving baby

Dimming Of The Day
/e/emmylou+harris/dimming+of+the+day_20809563.html
This old house is fallin' down around my ears I'm drowning in the river of my tears When all my will is gone, hold me sway I need you at the dimming of the day You pulled me like the moon pulls on the tide You know just where I keep my bad side For days have come to keep us far apart A broken promise or a broken heart Now all bonny birds have wheeled away I need you at the dimming of the day Come the night, you're only what I want Come the night, you could be my confidant I see you on the street and company Why don't you come and ease your mind with me? I'm living for the day we steal away I need you at the dimming of the day I need you at the dimming of the day

Donkey Town
/e/emmylou+harris/donkey+town_20695098.html
(feat. Mark Knopfler) I've been around in Donkey Town Too long baby too long Checking out of Donkey Town So long, so long, so long Her pretty eyes are pretty still But Jim's got a kind of a squint Yeah I dug up my last check from out of the mine Now I feel like I've done my stint Jim got an army pension When he walked from the military court No body ever mentioned The medical report She does little things for me She likes to get the both of us high. Yeah She says I'm a tender-hearted man Prince charming, yeah, sure, I'm the guy He likes the wrecker's dogs on chains And the smoke from the company fires Diesel oil in the trucks and cranes And the smell of burning tires But I've been around in Donkey Town Too long, baby, too long Checking out of Donkey Town So long, so long, so long There's a purple heart in a silver tin And a grey. 45 in a drawer Most of the time you can drink with him But some other time he's just sore On days when she says she can't think straight Or she feels like she's getting the jumps She'll go shoot off her. 38 At cans on a Donkey Town dump It was Friday late and she crossed those legs She told me flat out she would. Yeah If I could pull up my trailer pegs We could get away together for good I sure wish her the best of luck She's going to need it thinking of Jim I don't like to leave her stuck But she's near as bad as him But I've been around in Donkey Town Too long baby too long Checking out of Donkey Town So long, so long, so long Checking out of Donkey Town So long, so long, so long

Drifting Too Far
/e/emmylou+harris/drifting+too+far_20187377.html
Out on the perilous deep, Where danger silently creeps, And storm's so violently sweeping, You're drifting too far from shore. Chorus: Drifting too far from shore, You're drifting too far from shore, Come to Jesus today, Let Him show you the way You're drifting too far from shore. Today, the Tempest rose high, And clouds o'er shadow the sky. Sure death is hovering neigh, You're drifting too far from shore. Drifting too far from shore, You're drifting too far from shore, Come to Jesus today, Let Him show you the way You're drifting too far from shore. Why meet a terrible fate? Mercies abundantly wait. Turn back before it's too late You're drifting too far from shore. Drifting too far from shore You're drifting too far from shore (peaceful shore) Come to Jesus today. Let him show you the way You're drifting too far from shore...

Easy From Now On
/e/emmylou+harris/easy+from+now+on_20050170.html
There he goes gone again Same old story's gotta come to an end Lovin' him was a one way street But I'm gettin' off where the crossroads meet Quarter moon in a ten cent town It's time for me to lay my heartaches down Saturday night gonna make myself a name Take a month of Sundays to try and explain It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky It's gonna be easy, it's gonna be easy from now on Raw as whip but clean as a bone Soft to touch when you take me home When the mornin' comes and it's time for me to leave Don't worry 'bout me, I got a wild card up my sleeve It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky It's gonna be easy, it's gonna be easy It's gonna be easy from now on

Every Time You Leave
/e/emmylou+harris/everytime+you+leave_20050033.html
Everytime you leave You tear the soul from me I die a little more each time part I can't control my dreams My heart can't seem to learn To turn and lock its door when you return I know that you'll come back again As soon as you get blue And I know what will happen then One kiss and I'll give one to you Everytime you leave You tear the soul from me But I want to live so I'll forgive Everytime you leave

Everybody's Talkin'
/e/emmylou+harris/everybodys+talkin_20050237.html
Everybody's talkin' at me I don't hear a word their sayin' Only the echos of my mind People stop and stare I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin' Through the pourin' rain Goin' where the weather suits my clothes Bankin' off of the northeast winds Sailin' on summer breeze And skippin' over the ocean like a stone I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin' Through the pourin' rain Goin' where the weather suits my clothes Bankin' off of the northeast winds Sailin' on summer breeze And skippin' over the ocean like a stone Everybody's talkin' at me Can't hear a word their sayin' Only the echos of my mind I won't let you leave my love behind No i won't let you leave I won't let you leave my love behind

Fair And Tender Ladies
/e/emmylou+harris/fair+and+tender+ladies_20504427.html
Come all you fair and tender ladies Take warning how you court your men There like a star on a summer morning They first appear and then there gone They'll tell to you some loving story Then they make you think that they love you well Then away they'll go to court some other And leave you there in grief to dwell (mandolin break) I wish I was on some tall mountain Where the ivy rocks are black as ink I'd write a letter to my false true lover Whose cheeks are like the morning dew (dorbo and fiddle solo) Oh love is handsome love is charming And love is pretty while it's new But love grows cold as love grows old And fades away like morning dew (repeat chours)

Goin' Back To Harlan
/e/emmylou+harris/goin+back+to+harlan_20050263.html
(Anna Mccarrigle) There where no cuckoos, no sycamores We played about the forest floor Underneath the silver maples, the balsams and the sky We popped the heads off dandelions Assuming roles from nursery rhymes Rested on the riverbank And grew up by and by, and grew up by and by Frail my heart apart And play me a little shady grove Ring the bells of rhymney Till they ring inside my head forever Bounce the bow, rock the gallows For the hangman's reel And wake the devil from his dream I'm going back to Harlan I'm going back to Harlan I'm going back to Harlan And if you were Willie Moore And I was Barbara Allen Or Fair Ellen all sad at the cabin door A-weepin' and a-pinin', for love A-weepin' and a-pinin', for love

Guitar Town

Hey pretty baby are you ready for me It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee Well I'm just outta Austin bound for San Antone With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on There's a speed trap up ahead South of town But no local yokel's gonna shut me down Cause me and the boys got this rig unwound And we've come a thousand miles from the guitar town Nothin' ever happened round my home town And I ain't the kind to just hang around But I heard someone callin' my name one day And I followed that voice down the lost highway Everybody told me you can't get far Now I'm smokin' into Texas with the hammer down And a rockin' little combo from the guitar town Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault Love to hear the steel belts hummin' on the asphalt Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop Stumble in the restaurant, wonderin' why I don't stop Well I gotta keep rockin' while I still can Got a two-pack habit and a motel tan When my boots hit the boards it's a brand new hand Put my back to the risers and make my stand Hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight I'm loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight One of these days I'm gonna settle down And I'll take you back with me to the guitar town

How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower
/e/emmylou+harris/how+she+could+sing+the+wildwood+flower_20833508.html
[Chorus: ] How she could sing the Wildwood Flower The orphan girl he would love so long In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour And all he has left of her is a song He first saw her Standing by a cabin door Her song was ringing Out in a voice so strong and sure To the lonesome valley He bring her there to be his bride Where they would live and work together Side by side She was his sunshine She was his moon and morning star His words would ring to The chords of her guitar He was driven And lost to her for days and days 'Til the lonesome valley Finally drove her far away [Chorus: ] We all cling to As the years keep rolling on One single promise Of a love that's past and gone And that lonesome valley We all walk it by ourselves With the wildwood flower Is a story we will tell [Chorus: ] How she could sing the Wildwood Flower And all we have left of her is a song

At my door the leaves are falling The cold wild wind will come Sweethearts walk by together And I still miss someone I go out to wild the parties And look for a little fun But I find the darkened corner 'Cause I still miss someone Though I never got over those blue eyes I see them everywhere I miss those arms that held me When all the love was there I wonder if she's sorry for For leaving what we had begun There's someone for me somewhere And I still miss someone Though I never got over those blue eyes I see them everywhere I miss those arms that held me When all the love was there I wonder if she's sorry for For leaving what we had begun There's someone for me somewhere And I still miss someone

Icy Blue Heart
/e/emmylou+harris/icy+blue+heart_20050044.html
She came on to him like a slow moving cold front His beer was warmer that the look in her eye She sat on the stool, and she said "What do you want She said Give me a love that don't freeze up inside He said, I have melted some hearts in my time dear But to sit next to you Lord I shiver and shake And if I knew love, well I don't think I'd be here Askin' myself if I had what it takes To melt your icy blue heart Should I start to turn what's been frozen for years Into a river of tears These days we all play cool calm and collected Our lips could turn blue just shooting the breeze But under the frost, wee thought he detected A warm blush of red, and the touch of her knee He said you're a beauty like I've never witnessed And I've seen the northern lights dance in the air I've felt the cold that can follow the first kiss And there's not enough heat in the fires burning there To melt your icy blue heart Should I start to turn what's been frozen for years Into a river of tears To melt your icy blue heart

Lonely Girl
/e/emmylou+harris/lonely+girl_20909920.html
It seems to me lately The days are growing shorter The years are going faster And time is flying by I wake up in the morning And before I even notice The sun is going down And I'm left to wonder why I'm a lonely girl in a lonely world I never thought my life would be like this To have no one to hold my hand And feel once more a sweet caress I'd give it my best effort Love is always worth it But even if I try I might still end up alone It may not be in me To take what love could give me Some of us are better off To make it on our own As a lonely girl in a lonely world And though my life has been so blessed I have no one to hold my hand And feel once more a sweet caress I've had my share of lovers And cared for many others I always thought there'd be Another one to come along But if love can't find me again I'll put it all behind me then I'll just go and learn to sing Another sad love song About a lonely girl in a lonely world She never dreamed her life would be like this To have no one to hold her hand And feel once more a sweet caress

Written by Johnny Russell and Voni Morrison (C) 1963 Sure-Fire Music Co. You say tomorrow you're going That's so hard for me to believe I'm making plans for the heartaches Cause you're making plans to leave The tears for me will be falling Like a tree shedding its leaves I'm making plans for the teardrops Cause you're making plans to leave You're making plans to forget me I'm making plans to miss you I'm getting ready to grieve I'm making plans to be lonesome Cause you're making plans to leave I'm making plans to be lonesome Cause you're making plans to leave I'm making plans to be lonesome Cause you're making plans to leave

Mansion On The Hill
/e/emmylou+harris/mansion+on+the+hill_20050025.html
There's a place out on the edge of town sir Risin' above the factories and fields Now ever since I was a child I can remember That mansion on the hill In the day you can see the children playing On a road that leads to those gates of hardened steel Steel gates that completely surround sir That mansion on the hill At night my daddy's take me and we'd ride Through the streets of a town so silent and still Park on a back road along the highway signs sir Look up at the mansion on the hill In the summer all the lights would shine There'd be music playin' people laughin' all the time Me and my brother we'd lie down in the tall cornfields sir Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill Tonight down here in Linden Town I watch the cars rushin' by home from the mill There's a beautiful full moon rising Above the mansion on the hill

Michelangelo
/e/emmylou+harris/michelangelo_20504414.html
Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were older You were looking like Picasso With a scar across your shoulder You were kneeling by the river You were digging up the bodies Buried long ago Michelangelo Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed you were a pilgrim On a highway out alone to find The mother of your children Who were still unborn and waiting In the wings of some desire Abandoned long ago Michelangelo Were you there at Armageddon Was Paris really burning Could I have been the one to pull you From the point of no returning And did I hear you calling out my name Or was it forgotten long ago Michelangelo Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were riding On a blood red painted pony Up where the heavens were dividing And the angels turned to ashes You came tumbling with them to earth So Far below Michelangelo Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were dying In a field of thorn and roses With a hawk about you crying For the warrior slain in battle From an arrow driven deep inside you Long ago Michelangelo Did you suffer at the end Would there be no one to remember Did you banish all the old ghosts With the terms of surrender And could you hear me calling out your name Well I guess that I will never know Michelangelo Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were weeping And your tears poured down like diamonds For a love beyond all keeping And you caught them one by one In a million silk bandannas that I gave you long ago Michelangelo

(Ray Park) For many long years I've played a lone hand I rode my horse in many strange lands Until one day I stopped for awhile For two blue eyes and a sunny smile So howl away you old coyote I hear your sad and lonesome song You're calling me back to old Montana Back to those hills where I belong One day I rode away from home I'm a' traveling back and it won't be long I'll see you again in a little while You're my darling sweet, my welcome smile So howl away you old coyote I hear your sad and lonesome song You're calling me back to old Montana Back to those hills where I belong So howl away you old coyote I hear your sad and lonesome song You're calling me back to old Montana Back to those hills where I belong

Moon Song
/e/emmylou+harris/moon+song_20751611.html
Followed your road till the sky ran out Followed your love till love was in doubt Followed your love till it never really was at all Feeling stupid and hollow Now the moon's gonna' follow me home Waited for you till the snow fell down Over my skin like a thin nightgown Waited for you but you never came around at all Waited for you till they pulled the plug Bartender emptied out his big tip jug They swept all the floors Vacuumed the rugs and went home Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna' follow me home [Repeat 2X] Time go easy on me tonight 'Cause I'm one of the lost sheep alright Take what you must, take what you must Of what I've lost as I have roamed And let the moon follow me home Followed your tears with a washing pail I followed your story I followed your tail Followed you straight through the Doors of your jail cell too Followed your voice in the darkness soft A wind came through and carried it off I followed your love till it never really was at all Drank all I could swallow Followed a road 'Til the sky ran out

My Antonia

He said "Oh my love. Oh my Antonia You with the dark eyes and palest of skin Tonight I am going from Santa Maria Wait for me till I'm in your arms once again" She held me, she kissed me, begged me not to leave her To cross on 1he mountain my fortune to win But a letter now tells me she died of a fever I'll never see her in this world again You are my sorrow, you are my splendor You are my shelter through storm and through strife You are the one I will always remember All off the days of my life I curse the ambition that took me far from her For a treasure not ever so fine or so fair As the flash of her smile or the touch of her fingers The fire in her heart and the smell of her hair She left me a note that cried "Do not weep for me Behold you are with me as sure as the stars That rise in the evening to shine down upon me Behold I am with you wherever you are" I can still hear him. he calls to me only What once was begotten shall come to no end But the road is so long and the nights are so lonely My soul just to hold him in this world again You are my sorrow, you are my splendor You are my shelter through storm and through strife You are the one I will always remember All of the days of my life Oh my love, Oh my Antonia You with the dark eyes and palest of skin How could I know that night in Santa Maria I'd never see you in this world again

My Dear Companion

Written by Jean Ritchie (C) 1976 Geordie Music Pub Co. Oh have you seen my dear companion For he was all this world to me I hear he's gone to some far country And that he cares no more for me I wish I were a swallow flying I'd fly to a high and lonesome place I'd join the wild birds in their crying Thinking of you and your sweet face Oh have you seen my dear companion For he was all this world to me But now the stars have turned against me And he cares no more for me Oh when the dark is on the mountain And all the world has gone to sleep I will go down to the cold dark waters And there I'll lay me down and weep Oh have you seen my dear companion Oh have you seen my dear companion Oh have you seen my dear companion For he was all this world to me

My Father's House
/e/emmylou+harris/my+fathers+house_20050226.html
(Bruce Springsteen) Last night I dreamed that I was a child Out where the pines grow wild and tall I was trying to make it home through the forest Before the darkness falls I heard the wind rustling through the trees And ghostly voices rose from the fields I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path With the devil snappin' at my heels I broke through the trees, and there in the night My father's house stood shining hard and bright The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts I got dressed, and to that house I did ride From out on the road, I could see its windows shining in light I walked up the steps and stood on the porch A woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door I told her my story, and who I'd come for She said "I'm sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore" My father's house shines hard and bright It stands like a beacon calling me in the night Calling and calling, so cold and alone Shining 'cross this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned

My Name Is Emmett Till
/e/emmylou+harris/my+name+is+emmett+till_20974395.html
I was born a black boy My name is Emmett Till I walked this earth for fourteen years Then one night I was killed For speaking to a woman Whose skin was as white as dough That's a sin in Mississippi But how was I to know I'd come down from Chicago To visit with my kin Up there I was a cheeky kid I guess I always been But the harm they put upon me Was too hard for what I done For I was just a black boy I never hurt no one They took me from my uncle's house Mose Wright was his name He'd later stand and without hesitation Point the blame At the ones who beat and cut me And shot me with a gun Then threw me in the river Like I was trash when they were done I was sent back to my mother At least what was left of me She kept my casket open For the whole wide world to see The awful desecration And the evidence of hate You could not recognize me The mutilation was so great There came a cry for justice then To be finally fulfilled All because of me, a black boy My name is Emmett Till But I'd have rather lived 'Til I was too old to die young Not miss all I left behind All that might have come The summer clouds above my head The grass beneath my feet The warmth of a good woman Her kisses soft and sweet Perhaps to be a father With a black boy of my own And watch him grow into A kinder world than I had known Where no child would be murdered For the color of his skin And love would be the only thing Inside the hearts of men They say the horror of that night Is still haunting heaven still Where I am one more black boy My name is Emmett Till

I know your leaving is too long overdue For far too long I've had nothing new to show to you through dry eyes I watched your plane Fade off west of the moon And it felt so strange to walk away alone No regrets no tears goodbye Don't want you back we'd only cry again Say goodbye a-gain The hours that were yours echo like empty rooms The thoughts we used to share I now keep alone I woke last night and spoke your name Not thinking you were gone And it felt so strange to lie awake alone No regrets no tears goodbye Don't want you back we'd only cry again Say goodbye a-gain Our friends have tried to turn my nights to day Strange faces in your place can't keep the ghosts away Just behind the darkest hour just before dawn It still feels so strange to lead my life alone No regrets no tears goodbye Don't want you back we'd only cry again Say goodbye a-gain

Not Enough
/e/emmylou+harris/not+enough_20832020.html
Oh my darling, I miss you so. How I loved you, you'll never know. Though it's time for me to let you go. Oh my darling, I'll miss you so. Can't believe you're really gone for good. I still hold on to places you once stood. I should move on, but I never could, Really believe you're gone for good. Oh my friend, what could I do? I just came home to bury you. The road is long, the road is rough. Your in my heart, that's not close enough. All those years, disappear All my tears, are not enough, not enough. How can it be the ties that bind, Cut down deep and are so unkind? When we lose them we will never find, Anything stronger than the ties that bind. I still have your memory. One or two pictures of you and me. Life is long and life is tough, But when you love someone, Life is not long enough.

Though yesterday still surrounds you with a warm and Precious memory Maybe for tomorrow we can build a new dream for you and Me This glow we feel is something rare, something really Rare So come and say you wanna to share, wanna to really Share The beauty waiting for us there, calling for us there That only loving can give the heart When life is passing in the night, in the rushing night A man, a woman in the night, in the lonely night Must take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's Light They'll be together, so much in love Together, so much in love So tell me You're not afraid to take a chance, really take a Chance Let your heart begin to dance, let it sing and dance To the music of a glance, of a fleeting glance To the music of romance, of a new romance Take a chance

I try to run away from sad regrets The bitter wine won't help me to forget That I locked up my heart and threw away the precious key [Chorus] Another night, another day, I'll see you standing in my way I'll stop and say "hello, my friend" Another place, another time, you'll tell me you've been doing fine And walk away from me once more.

You must remember this A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh. The fundamental things apply As time goes by. And when two lovers woo They still say, "I love you." On that you can rely No matter what the future brings As time goes by. Moonlight and love songs Never out of date. Hearts full of passion Jealousy and hate. Woman needs man And man must have his mate That no one can deny. It's still the same old story A fight for love and glory A case of do or die. The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by. Moonlight and love songs Never out of date. Hearts full of passion Jealousy and hate. Woman needs man And man must have his mate That no one can deny.

When we got together We were drowning in the touch You kept things to yourself And didn't say too much I let you have your silence 'Cause I thought you needed time But now I want to stop Tryin' to read between the lines I can't wait forever One side needs to know The feelings of the other Before they know their own Every night You take your silence to bed Every day The same words go on never said And tonight We'll do it all over again You've touched my life forever But we'll never really start Every time you turn on the light My heart's in the dark Heart's in the dark You can have your secrets A part of you that's yours But you want me in your life And need to know what for Help me get around it 'Cause we're more than passing ships I see it in your eyes Let me hear it from your lips Every night You take your silence to bed Every day The same words go on never said And tonight We'll do it all over again You've touched my life forever But we'll never really start Every time you turn on the light My heart's in the dark Heart's in the dark Our love is a broken rage And I'm drowning in my doubts It may sound like I'm angry But I'm only reaching out And time won't change What I'm goin' through only you can do that If you want me now to stay with you Then bring the reason back And tonight Don't take your silence to bed Every day Don't let those words go unsaid And tonight We'll start it all over again Baby touch my life forever Let me know you want to start 'Cause every time you turn on the light My heart's in the dark And tonight Don't take your silence to bed And today Don't let those words go unsaid And tonight We'll start all over again Baby touch my life forever Let me know you want to start 'Cause every time you turn on the light My heart's in the dark

How do I stop loving you Writers artie butler, norman martin I'm trying so hard to forget you. And leave the life we had behind. And there are times I feel the day has come, I've chased you from my mind. But I'm afraid there's always something, That sets me back and makes me see. You're more than just a memory in the past, You're still a part of me. So how do I stop loving you? Forget things that we used to do? Forget all the dreams that we shared? And how my life was knowing you cared? Why do I end up where I start, each time I try? Just tell me how I can forget, So I can say goodbye... I'm tired of all the lonely evenings, And all the many times I've cried. I'm tired of wondering what I might have done to keep you by my side. And reaching out across your pillow, I start remembering you're gone. And though I know that we can never be, The pain in me goes on. So how do I stop loving you? Forget things that we used to do? Forget all the dreams that we shared, And how my life was knowing you cared? Why do I end up where I start, each time I try? Just tell me how I can forget, So I can say goodbye... So how do I stop loving you? Please tell me why... I find it so hard to forget. And hard to say... Goodbye. Goodbye...

PORTOFINO WRITERS MARK SPIRO, JACK WHITE Long ago I used to know where love was found, A place in the sun Long before this heart of mine had broken down You were the one But now you're a lonely memory My heartache will never end Though all of those nights are far away I wish I were with you again. Portofino I still remember the sun in your hair Portofino mariachi music that danced in the air Portofino I want you back in my arms 'Cause every time I close my eyes I'm holding you in the dark In Portofino where you broke my heart. I think of your face and still it can take my breath away After so long And though I'll be lonely living for only yesterday I'll get along Though now you're a faded memory My heartache will never end This unforgotten melody keeps playing over and over again Portofino I still remember the sun in your hair Portofino mariachi music that danced in the air Portofino I want you back in my arms 'Cause every time I close my eyes I'm holding you in the dark In Portofino where you broke my heart In Portofino where you broke my heart.

Now that it's over I feel the world closing in on me Here come the stars Tumbling around me There's the sky Where the sea should be What now my love? Now that you're gone I'd be a fool To go on and on No one would care No one would cry If I should live or die What now my love? Now there is nothing Only my last goodbye My love

When You Say Nothing At All
/e/engelbert+humperdinck/when+you+say+nothing+at+all_20504130.html
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart. Without saying a word you can light up the dark. Try as I may I could never explain what I hear when you don't say a thing. The smile on your face lets me know that you need me. There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me. A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall. Now you say it best when you say nothing at all. All day long I can hear people talking out loud, but when you hold me near you drown out the crowd. Old Mister Webster could never define what's being said between your heart and mine. The smile on your face lets me know that you need me. There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me. A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall. Now you say it best when you say nothing at all. The smile on your face lets me know that you need me. There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me. A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall. Now you say it best when you say nothing at all.

White Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree tops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all Your Christmases be white I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree tops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases May all your Christmases May all your Christmases May all your Christmases be white I'm dreaming of a white Christmas with you Jingle Bells All the way, all the way

Winter World Of Love
/e/engelbert+humperdinck/winter+world+of+love_20345904.html
My love, the days are colder. So, let me take your hand And lead you through a snow white land. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. My love, the year is older. So, let me hold you tight And wile away this winter night. Oh, oh. I see the firelight in your eyes. Come kiss me now, before it dies. We'll find a winter world of love, 'Cause love is warmer in December. My darlin', stay here in my arms Till summer comes along And in our winter world of love, You see, we always will remember That as the snow lay on the ground, We found our winter world of love. Because the nights are longer, We'll have the time to say such tender things Before each day. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. And then, when love is stronger, Perhaps, you'll give your heart And promise that we'll never part, oh, no. And at the end of every year, I'll be so glad to have you near. We'll find a winter world of love, 'Cause love is warmer in December. My darlin', stay here in my arms Till summer comes along And in our winter world of love, You see, we always will remember That as the snow lay on the ground, We found our winter world of love.

Wonderful Tonight
/e/engelbert+humperdinck/wonderful+tonight_21065923.html
Stars hang suspended Above a floating yellow moon Two hearts were blended While angels sang a lover's tune And so we kissed Not knowing if our hearts could pay the price But heaven welcomed us to paradise Blessing our love Then came the sunrise Fading the moon and stars from sight Recalling always Our wonderland by night Stars hang suspended Above a floating yellow moon Two hearts were blended While angels sang a lover's tune And so we kissed Not knowing if our hearts could pay the price But heaven welcomed us to paradise Blessing our love Then came the sunrise Fading the moon and stars from sight Recalling always Our wonderland by night

Wrap Your Arms Around Me
/e/engelbert+humperdinck/wrap+your+arms+around+me_20504127.html
Wrap your arms around me When you're so far away, At the end of each day Counting the moments 'Till you fade away. Inside my soul, Under passion's control, Are feelings I can't find The words to explain Just like the first time I'm helpless again. [Chorus] Wrap your arms around me Let your love surround me Make love to me now like never before. Wrap your arms around me From the day you found me You'll never be alone. The nights are so cold, With just your memory to hold I've tried to be strong, Reaching out holding on. Alone in my bed, I cling to each word you said, Wanting you more everyday we're apart And each precious moment Is safe in my heart. [Chorus] Take me in your arms Hold me You are the one, Only you I want to be with you We belong together We were so close The nights are so cold Want to be with you Miss you anyway I want to be with you Hold me, love me, love me Just like the first time I'm helpless again [Chorus] Wrap your arms around me And you'll never be alone Wrap your arms around me You'll never be alone No, you'll never be alone.

Yellow Moon
/e/engelbert+humperdinck/yellow+moon_20810462.html
The moon is on the rise it stares at me tonight I'm reminded of the arms that held me tight Last time I held you it ended all too soon We were lying underneath a yellow moon There's a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky Oh, I wonder if you're watching it too There's a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky Wherever you are, it's watching over you Oh, shine on, shine on yellow moon Sometimes we sit and talk me and that old moon I ask him, are you happy or if you're blue I start to reminisce to a summer night in June We fell in love under a yellow moon There's a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky Oh, I wonder if you're watching it too There's a yellow moon hanging in a starry sky Wherever you are, it's watching over you Oh, shine on, shine on yellow moon Yellow moon, oh, yellow moon

You Are My Love
/e/engelbert+humperdinck/you+are+my+love_21014462.html
I never really told you how much you mean to me The words get locked away and I can't set them free Never really showed you what's going on inside The joy of being near you I always seem to I wish I could throw the fear away So I could come right out and say Baby, I'm dying for you You are my love, you are my live When I'm lost you are the light You are the sweetest thing And I never gonna let you go You are the sweetest thing If only I could tell you so I watched you when you were sleeping Like a little girl I'd like to wake you up and say, I want you in my world Sometimes when I kiss you and look into your eyes I have to turn away from you so you won't see me cry I wish I could throw away the fear I wish I could come right out and say Baby, I'm dying for you

You Inspire Me
/e/engelbert+humperdinck/you+inspire+me_20504124.html
You Inspire Me When my eyes begin to glaze You Inspire Me In so many ways When I'm on the ground You seem to know How to pull the blessings down And spread them all around You Inspire Me When my well is almost dry You Inspire Me And in the twinkling of an eye I am back on my feet You're so inspiring to me The road is long and it winds through the night But when you're near you let there be light You Inspire Me When my eyes begin to glaze You inspire me In so many ways I am back on my feet You're so inspiring I don't have to wish upon a star That's how inspiring you are
