Emmylou Harris | 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

Emmylou Harris | 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

Emmylou Harris | 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

Emmylou Harris | 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...

Emmylou Harris | Drivin' Wheel | /e/emmylou+harris/drivin+wheel_20050252.html | Well, all I want is a love that's hot
Can't be sold, can't be bought
Yeah, love that don't try to be somethin' it's not
Well, all I need is a love that's real
None can rob and none can steal
Hey, love that moves like a drivin' wheel
Well, all I want is drivin' wheel
All I want is a drivin' wheel
All 'round love my ideal
Well, all I want is love that's right
To hold onto with all my might
Hey, early in the mornin' and late at night
Well, all I want is drivin' wheel
All I want is a drivin' wheel
Hey, all 'round love my ideal
All I want is a drivin' wheel
All I want is a drivin' wheel
Hey, all 'round love my ideal
All I want is a drivin' wheel
All I want is a drivin' wheel
Well, all 'round love my ideal

Emmylou Harris | Easy For You To Say | /e/emmylou+harris/easy+for+you+to+say_20050052.html | These things happen
Love never comes with a guarantee
No hard meetings
But it looks like this love was never meant to be
That's easy for you to say
You've got another who's willing and waiting for you
That's easy for you to say
You're not the one with the heart that's breaking in two
You tell me it's better this way
That's easy for you to say
There'll be changes
Times never been known to ever stand still
Lonely losers
Hold to a promise they'll never fulfill
That's easy for you to say
You've got another who's willing and waiting for you
That's easy for you to say
You're not the one with the heart that's breaking in two
You tell me it's better this way
That's easy for you to say
You tell me you know hat it's wrong
To walk out this way
But in time my true love will come
And I'll thank you some day
That's easy for you to say
You've got another who's willing and waiting for you
That's easy for you to say
You're not the one with the heart that's breaking in two
You tell me it's better this way
That's easy for you to say
That's easy for you to say

Emmylou Harris | 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

Emmylou Harris | Even Cowgirls Get The Blues | /e/emmylou+harris/even+cowgirls+get+the+blues_20050032.html | (Rodney Crowell)
She's a rounder I can tell you that
She can sing 'em all night, too
She'll raise hell about the sleep she lost
But even cowgirls get the blues
Especially cowgirls, they're the gypsy kind
And need their laid on 'em loose
She's lived to see the world turned upside down
Hitchin' rides out of the blues
But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been
Lonely nights are out there on the road
Motel ceiling stares you down
There must be safer ways to pay your dues
But even cowgirls get the blues
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like the restless wind
The only way she's ever been

Emmylou Harris | 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
|
Emmylou Harris | 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
|
Emmylou Harris | 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)

Emmylou Harris | 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

Emmylou Harris | Guitar Town | /e/emmylou+harris/guitar+town_20050019.html | 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

Emmylou Harris | 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

Emmylou Harris | I Ain't Living Long Like This | /e/emmylou+harris/i+aint+living+long+like+this_20050184.html | (Rodney Crowell)
You looked for trouble and you found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
You'd try to run but you don't think you can
You make one move and you're dead man, friend
I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I baby
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
Then he left me freezing on a steel rail track
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they bay
I ain't living long like this
Grew up in Houston off of Wayside drive
Son of a charhop in some all night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man's death
I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
We know the story how the wheel goes round
Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse, baby
I ain't living long like this
You live for angel, she's a roadhouse queen
Make Texas ruby look like Sandra Dee
You want to love her but you don't know how
You're at the bottom of the jailhouse now
I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I baby
You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it, but just don't get caught
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they baby
I ain't living long like this
|
Emmylou Harris | I Don't Have To Crawl | /e/emmylou+harris/i+dont+have+to+crawl_20050109.html | (Rodney Crowell)
When you look at me
Like you don't know me
And you talk to me
Like you've never met me
I can leave you alone if I try
If I tried I could tell you goodbye
If I wanted to
I could be long gone
And I don't have to crawl
Then you call on me
As if I should run to you
You make your move
As if I should follow you
Well I don't have to be nobody's fool
I won't make no exception of you
I don't have to be nobody's fool
I don't make no exception of you
I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away
No I don't have to crawl
I don't have to get down on my knees
I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away
No I don't have to crawl
|
Emmylou Harris | I Hear A Call | /e/emmylou+harris/i+hear+a+call_20050075.html | I hear a call
Now will answer
Forsake my all
To serve another
Though darkness falls
Stay a believer
I hear a call
Now will answer
I see a light Now will I follow
Fill up this life
That grows more hollow
Make joy reside
Where there lives sorrow
I see a light
Now will follow
I hear a call
From out of nowhere
And from anywhere I go
I hear a call
Now will answer
I feel a touch
Now will I hold on
Be there with love
For those with no one
With a kindness such
It lives though I'm gone
I feel a touch
Now will I hold on
I hear a call
From out of nowhere
And from everywhere I go
I see a light
Now will I follow
I feel a touch
Now will I follow
I hear a call
Now will I answer

Emmylou Harris | I Still Miss Someone | /e/emmylou+harris/i+still+miss+someone_20050043.html | 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

Emmylou Harris | 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

Emmylou Harris | If I Be Lifted Up | /e/emmylou+harris/if+i+be+lifted+up_20050241.html | (Traditional)
Down in the valley while on my knees
I asked my Jesus carry please
He promised that he'd take care of me
If I would lift him up
He said if I
Be lifted up
He said if I
Be lifted up
I 'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your sister
And your brother
He said if I
Be lifted up
I'll bring joy, joy, joy
To your soul
When I am lonely
When I am sad
My Jesus comes and makes me glad
He is the dearest friend I've have had
I want to lift Him up
He said if I
Be lifted up
He said if I
Be lifted up
I 'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your sister
And your brother
He said if I
Be lifted up
I'll bring joy, joy, joy
To your soul

Emmylou Harris | If I Could Be There | /e/emmylou+harris/if+i+could+be+there_20050022.html | If I could be there I'd be there tonight comforting you
This road I'm on is so far away
Too far away
If God would grant me wings to fly
I'd be in your arms by and by
If I could be there I'd be there tonight comforting you
If I could be there I'd look in your eyes and say I love you
These hills and highways between us now keep us apart
If God would grant me wings to fly
I'd be in your arms by and by
If I could be there I'd look in your eyes and say I love you
If I could be there I wouldn't have this pain in my heart
Tomorrow I'll wake up with joy for the day
Joy for the day
If God would grant me wings to fly
I'd be in your arms by and by
If I could be there I wouldn't have this pain in my heart
If I could be there

Emmylou Harris | If I Could Only Win Your Love | /e/emmylou+harris/if+i+could+only+win+your+love_20050172.html | If I could only win your love
I'd make the most of everything
I'd proudly wear your wedding ring
My heart would never stray when you're away
If I could only win your love

Emmylou Harris | If This Is Goodbye | /e/emmylou+harris/if+this+is+goodbye_20695194.html | Those famous last words are lying around in tatters
Sounding absurd whatever I try
But I Love you, and that's all that really matters
If this is goodbye if this is goodbye
Bright shining sun, would light up the way before me
You were the one, made me feel I could fly
And I love you, whatever is waiting for me
If this is goodbye if this is goodbye
Who knows howlong we got, or what we're made of
Who knows if there's a plan or not
There is our love, I know there is our love
Those famous last words could never tell the story
Spending unheard and the dark of the sky
But I love you, and this is our glory
If this is goodbye, if this goodbye
If this is goodbye, if this goodbye

Emmylou Harris | I'll Never Fall In Love Again | /e/emmylou+harris/ill+never+fall+in+love+again_20050240.html | What do you get when you fall in love?
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, she'll never phone ya
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm not
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
|
Emmylou Harris | In His World | /e/emmylou+harris/in+his+world_20050053.html | Every night I dream about him
In my world of fantasy
I pretend that we're together
In his world there's a garden in the moonlight
In his world there's a sweet and gentle breeze
In his world, oh he tells me that he loves me
That's where my heart wants to be
I saw a star falls from the heaven
I hope the wish I made comes true
I don't want to live without him
In his world I can see a new tomorrow
In his world where he gives his heart to me
In his world we will share this love together
That's where my heart wants to be
Why must I go on pretending
Why can't I tell him how I feel
These sweet dreams are never ending
And this loneliness is real
I saw a star fall from the heavens
I hope the wish I made comes true
I don't want to live without him
In his world I can see a new tomorrow
In his world where he gives his heart to me
In his world we will share this love together
That's where my heart wants to be
In his world there's a garden in the moonlight
In his world there's a sweet and gentle breeze
In his world, oh he tells me that he loves me
That's where my heart wants to be

Emmylou Harris | K-S-O-S | /e/emmylou+harris/k+s+o+s_20504417.html | Come gather round me boys and lend an ear
I've got some things I think you all should hear
It's time to shift into another gear
I've reached my final destination bought a radio station
And she's fifty thousand watts pure and clear
K-S-O-S help is on the way twenty-four hours of every day
A voice in the wilderness and we're here to stay K-S-O-S
[ guitar - banjo ]
K-S-O-S help is on the way...
K-S-O-S help is on the way...

Emmylou Harris | 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

Emmylou Harris | Love And Happiness | /e/emmylou+harris/love+and+happiness_20695316.html | (feat. Mark Knopfler)
Here's a wishing well
Here's a penny for
Any thought it is
That makes you smile
Every diamond dream
Everything that brings
Love and happiness
To your life
Here's a rabbit's foot
Take it when you go
So you'll always know
You're safe from harm
Wear your ruby shoes
When you're far away
So you'll always stay
Home in your heart
You will always have a lucky star
That shines because of what you are
Even in the deepest dark
Because your aim is true
And if I could only have one wish
Darling, then it would be this
Love and happiness for you
Here's a spinning wheel
Use it once you've learned
There's a way to turn
The straw to gold
Here's a rosary
Count on every bead
With a prayer to keep
The hope you hold
You will always have a lucky star
That shines because of what you are
Even in the deepest dark
Because your aim is true
And if I could only have one wish
Darling, then it would be this
Love and happiness for you
And if I could only have one wish
Darling, then it would be this
Love and happiness for you

Emmylou Harris | Love Hurts | /e/emmylou+harris/love+hurts_20050217.html | Love hurts love scars love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough nor strong enough
To take a lot of pain take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain.
Love Hurts uh, uh Love Hurts.
I'm young I know but even so
I know a thing or two I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove burns you when it's hot
Love Hurts Uh, Uh Love hurts.
Some fools rave of happiness
Blissfullness togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess,
But they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true, no it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts Uh, uh love hurts.

(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

Emmylou Harris | 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

Emmylou Harris | 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

Emmylou Harris | Montana Cowgirl | /e/emmylou+harris/montana+cowgirl_20050026.html | (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

Emmylou Harris | 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

Emmylou Harris | Movin' On | /e/emmylou+harris/movin+on_20050163.html | (Hank Snow)
That big eighteen-wheeler, rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin'on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on
That big loud whistle, as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, We're comin' to you
And we're movin' on, oh, hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I set you free
And I'm movin' on
Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep movin' me on
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on
I've told you baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow, and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on
You've switched your engine, now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
Cause I'm movin on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause I'm movin on
But someday baby, when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on

Emmylou Harris | My Antonia | /e/emmylou+harris/my+antonia_20268119.html | 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

Emmylou Harris | My Dear Companion | /e/emmylou+harris/my+dear+companion_20504413.html | 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

Emmylou Harris | 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

Emmylou Harris | 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

She'd prefer the blue
How I crave the liquor of her song
Poor bird who has done no harm
What harm could she do
She shall be my prisoner her life long
My songbird wants her freedom
Now don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself
To let my songbird go
I just can't let her go
O lord, when your jeweler's eye
Peers into my soul
O lord, I am overcome with shame
Take me lord and purify
Heal me with a word
Lord, I beg a gift I dare not claim
My songbird wants her freedom
Now don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself
To let my songbird go
I just can't let her go

Train arrive 16 coaches long
Well, that long black train
Took my baby back home
Train train, rolling round the bend
Train train, rolling round the bend
Well, it took my baby
Away from me again
Went down to the station
To meet my baby at the gate
Ask the station master
If her train is running late
He said no if your wait
On that old 44
I hate to tell you son
But that train don't stop her anymore
Train train, rolling round the bend
Train train, rolling round the bend
Well, it took my baby
Away from me again
Heard that whistle blowing
It was the middle of the night
When I got down to the station
The train was rolling out of site
Mystery train, rolling round the bend
Mystery train, rolling round the bend
Well, it took my baby
Away from me again

Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you
A heart that's true and longs for you is all I have to give
All my love belongs to you as long as I may live
There'll never be anyone else but you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be, anyone else but you
I never will forget the way you kiss me
And when we're not together, I wonder if you've missed me
'Cause I hope and pray the day will come when you belong to me
Then I'm gonna prove to you how true my love can be
There'll never be anyone else but you for me

Emmylou Harris | No Regrets | /e/emmylou+harris/no+regrets_20050048.html | 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

Be nobody's darlin' but mine
You're as sweet as the flowers of springtime
You're as pure as the dew from the rose
I'd rather be somebody's, darlin'
And a poor boy nobody knows
Be nobody's darlin' but mine, love
Be honest, be faithful, be kind
And promise me that you will always

Goodbye, little darlin', I'm leaving
I'm leaving this cold world behind

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.

Emmylou Harris | O Evangeline | /e/emmylou+harris/o+evangeline_20504412.html | O Evangeline you been gone so long
And for a time it seemed
Every road you took turned wrong
But a second chance would come
With each new bridge you burned
I know you squandered some
But then from some you learned
And the point of rescue well
You passed that long ago
O but to hear you teil it was
Just another part of the show
O Evangeline your faith shone blind and true
We raise our glass and sing
Of you Evangeline
O Evangeline you with no kith or kin
The nights so hard and mean
You shed them like a skin
For you were always strong
When the bad slid down to worse
You still had that song
It was your blessing and your curse
But in your tongue
There is no word for home
There'll be no one
To roll away the stone
O Evangeline you have been a prisoner here
Bread and roses we shall bring
To you Evangeline
O Evangeline what are you fighting for
You stayed out in that ring
When nobody's even keepin' score
But round by round you earned
Your stumble into grace
Still with every turn the world
Becomes a sadder place
It swallows up the ones
You have loved the most
So you sleep with none
You wake with ghosts
O Evangeline
You have salted with your tears
Every lonely mile you've seen
through the years Evangeline
It's a fatal shore
You now wash upon
So weary of the war
And no longer young
O Evangeline your voice
Risin' sweet and clear
We close our eyes and dream
Of you Evangeline

But I never let faith depart, I kept it right beside me
When I was only seventeen, I knew just what I wanted to be
On the stage, on the front page with the spotlight shining
The spotlight shining on me
Take a chance to be a hero, a chance to play in this game
A chance to be somebody who you're gonna recognize my name
A chance to be a hero, a shot at the big time
A chance to be somebody new, a chance to be a hero
Funny, how time can fly right through you fingers
When the parade passes by, you know it's too late then
When your lifelong fantasy floats underneath the door
Down the stairs, out on the street, it won't be coming back
It won't be coming back anymore
Take a chance to be a hero, a chance to play in this game
A chance to be somebody who you're gonna recognize my name
A chance to be a hero, a shot at the big time

Engelbert Humperdinck | A Man And A Woman | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/a+man+and+a+woman_21014485.html | When hearts are passing in the night, in the lonely
Night
Then they must hold each other tight, oh, so very tight
And take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's
Light
They'll stay together, so much in love
And in the silence of the mist, of the morning mist
When lips are waiting to be kissed, longing to be
Kissed
Where is the reason to resist and deny a kiss
That holds a promise of happiness?
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

Sharing a love I thought would last forever
Moonlight to show the way so we can follow
Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow
Then something changed her mind, her kisses told me
I had no lovin' arms to hold me
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Knowing that it's cloudy above
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
I cannot face this world that's fallen down on me
So, if you see my girl, please send her home to me
Tell her about my heart that's slowly dying
Say I can't stop myself from crying
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Knowing that it's cloudy above
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out

After the lovin'
With a song I just wrote yesterday
And I hope you can hear
What the words and the music have to say.
It's so hard to explain
Everything that I'm feelin'
Face to face I just seem to go dry.
'Cause I love you so much
That the sound of your voice can get me high.
Thanks for takin' me (Thanks for takin' me)
On a one way trip to the sun (On a one way trip to the sun)
And thanks for turnin' me (Turnin' me)
Into a someone. (Someone)
So I sing you to sleep
After the lovin'
I brush back the hair from your eyes.
And the love on your face
Is so real that it makes me want to cry.
And I know that my song
Isn't sayin' anything new.
Oh, but after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you.
So I sing you to sleep
After the lovin'
I brush back the hair from your eyes.
And the love on your face
Is so real that it makes me want to cry.
And I know that my song
Isn't sayin' anything new.
Oh, but after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you.
Yes, after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you.
Hmmm, after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you

But that won't stop my loving you.
I just can't let you walk away,
Forget the love I had for you.
Guess I could find somebody, too,
But I don't want no one but you.
How could you leave without regret?
Am I that easy to forget?
Before you leave be sure you find
You want his love much more than mine.
'Cause I'll just say we've never met,
If I'm that easy to forget.

Engelbert Humperdinck | Another Time, Another Place | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/another+time+another+place_20285163.html | Another time, another place
Her candles flicker in the fading light
I sit alone and watch that lonely night
I see you everywhere and I try desperately to hide
[Chorus]
Another time, another place, I see that old familiar face
And I try hard to catch your eye
Another road, another mile, I see that old familiar smile
But you'll be with somebody new
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.
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.

Engelbert Humperdinck | As Time Goes By | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/as+time+goes+by_21014483.html | 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.

Engelbert Humperdinck | Away In A Manger | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/away+in+a+manger_21014463.html | Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there

Engelbert Humperdinck | Beautiful Baby | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/beautiful+baby_20826379.html | It was late in the early spring, when we picked out the rings
We said 'I do' and took off on our honeymoon
The seashore sure was nice, we made love day and night
We were so much in love, we never got out of the room
Then spring time turned to fall and I was proud and walkin' tall
She was happy but mad 'cause she couldn't fit into her dress
I spent all of my afternoons fixin' up our extra room
For a boy named Bill or a little girl named Tess
And it was late on a winter night, we were sittin' by the fiery light
And she said to me, "Hun, I think it's time to go"
Oh, I was a nervous wreck, I almost broke my neck
Tryin' to back up the car and hurry through the snow
But I got her there just in time and they dressed us both in white
And I held her hand while they wheeled her into the room
And there right before my eyes the miracle of life
Came cryin' at me and I'd never felt so good
Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me
I never knew that my life was so empty and so incomplete
Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me
She looks like her mama but she's smilin' just like me
Ooh, what a wonderful woman I'm lovin'
I'm holding her tender and she's given me everythin'
Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me
She looks like her mama but she's smilin' just like me
Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me
I never knew that my life was so empty and so incomplete
Ooh, what a beautiful baby she gave me

Follow you all around.

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

Let me know you want to start

My heart's in the dark

Engelbert Humperdinck | Honky Tonk World | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/honky+tonk+world_20823535.html | There used to be a time when candlelight and wine
Was all that a woman would need
Man, you'll be a winner if you took her out to dinner
Or a movie that she wanted to see
Now the world has turned and it's time you learned
The old ain't working no more
The rules have changed and it's a brand new game
Buddy, if you wanna score
Get off the couch and get out of the house
Long about a Friday night
Shine up your boots, polish up your moves
If you wanna keep her satisfied
You know, a little bump and grind would do it every time
If you want to keep your little girl
Well, you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance
You're living in a honky tonk world
Sooner or later, all you couch potatoes
You're gonna be the lonely ones
If you want good lovin' then you gotta keep up
You better know your Brook's from your Dunn's
And don't even think that your Englebert Humperdinck's
Record's gonna turn her on
Mister, you can bet if you don't know the steps
You're gonna get left at home
Get off the couch, get out of the house
Long about a Friday night
Shine up your boots, polish up your moves
If you wanna keep her satisfied
You know, a little bump and grind would do it every time
If you want to keep your little girl
Well, you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance
'Cause you're living in a honky tonk world
You were cro-magnon, you'd be draggin' your women
By a hair to your cave
You'd be down on one knee reciting them soliloquies
Back in Romeo's day
You'd be kind of nifty if you were in the Fifties
And you had a cool car to drive
But now you past the Nineties so you better shake your hiney
Or you're gonna get left behind
Get off the couch and get out of the house
Long about a Friday night
Shine up your boots, polish up your moves
If you wanna keep her satisfied
You know, a little bump and grind would do it every time
If you want to keep your little girl
Well, you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance
You're living in a honky tonk world
You don't stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance
'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world
Get off the couch and get out of the house
Long about a Friday night
Shine up your boots, polish up your moves
If you wanna keep her satisfied
You know, a little bump and grind would do it every time
If you want to keep your little girl
Well, you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance
You're living in a honky tonk world
You don't stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance

Engelbert Humperdinck | How Do I Stop Loving You | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/how+do+i+stop+loving+you_20504157.html | 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...

Engelbert Humperdinck | How I Love You | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/how+i+love+you_20850166.html | You hold me in your eyes
In your own special way
I wonder how you know
The things I never say
I can't imagine life
Without you by my side
The power of your love
Is all I need tonight
I know there have been times
That I have caused you pain
I'd turn them all around
If I could start again
There's something I must say
I know it's overdue
The sweetest thing I've known
Forever called my own
Begins and ends with you
How I love you
How I love you
The softness of your lips
The color of your hair
The memory of your touch
Remains when you're not there
The echoes of your laughter
When I'm feeling blue
The meaning of my life
It all begins with you
So come into my arms
Lay down by my side
The moon is always there
To keep our love alight
I've reached so very high
For everything that's mine
And at the top is you
I want you for all time
A dream forever new
How I love you
How I love you
The softness of your lips
The color of your hair
The memory of your touch
Remains when you're not there
The echoes of your laughter
When I'm feeling blue
The meaning of my life
It all begins with you
So come into my arms
Lay down by my side
The moon is always there
To keep our love alight
You know me like a book
You've read a thousand times
We know each other's hearts
We read each other's mind
This feeling's always new
How I love you
How I love you
The softness of your lips
The color of your hair
The memory of your touch
Remains when you're not there
The echoes of your laughter
When I'm feeling blue
The meaning of my life
It all begins with you

The somebody who

Might never be mean
Might never be cross
Or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
Some others I've seen.
Might never be mean

Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky

We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted waters's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not to those who wait to late
We got to go for all we know
I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
Darling, when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun I want to be the one with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building big castles way on high
Just the two of us
You and I
Just the two of us

We can make it

story that is older than the sea The simple truth about the love she brings to
me Where do I start With her first hello She gave new meaning to this empty
world of mine There'd never be another love, another time She came into my
life and made the living fine She fills my heart She fills my heart with very
special things With angels' songs, with wild imaginings She fills my soul with
so much love That anywhere I go I'm never lonely With her around, who could be
lonely I reach for her hand-it's always there How long does it last Can love
be measured by the hours in a day I have no answers now but this much I can
say I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away And she'll be there How
long does it last Can love be measured by the hours in a day I have no answers

Engelbert Humperdinck | Portofino | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/portofino_20504141.html | 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.

Engelbert Humperdinck | Precious Love | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/precious+love_21014470.html | (I love you)
(I love you)
(More than words can ever say)
(You're the one who made this world of mine)
If I knew how much I really love you
If I knew how much I really care
I'd sing it and I'd shout it again and again
To show the world this precious love of mine
Every dream begins and ends beside you
Every joy is only ours to share
I'll sing and I'll shout it again and again
To show the world this precious love of mine
My rainbow's end, I find in your dress
You satisfy my hungriness
All I can find are words to say
All of the things you mean to me
Ooh, I love you
Ooh, I care
I'll sing it and I'll shout it again and again
To show the world this precious love of mine
Oh, if I knew how much I really love you
If I knew how much I really care
I'd sing it, I'd shout it again and again
To show the world this precious love of mine
Oh, if I knew how much I really love you
If I knew how much I really care
I'd sing it and I'd shout it again and again and again
To show the world this precious love of mine

Engelbert Humperdinck | Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/raindrops+keep+falling+on+my+head_20824424.html | Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

Engelbert Humperdinck | Sentimental Lady | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/sentimental+lady_21014489.html | A world as silent as the morning snow
Lombard and Gabble on the lately show
It's the time we both remember
The things we love the best
Winter nights before the fire
You head up on my tears
Sentimental lady, you're living in a world of days gone by
Sentimental lady, you loved the movies that made you cry
That's what makes me love you
You see the world in a rozy glow
You're my lady, my sentimental lady
Old Brando and we loved James Dean
The king was Elvis and Monroe was the queen
Let's play those golden oldies
The words of love so true
Then we love the night away
Like we used to do

Engelbert Humperdinck | She | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/she_20578269.html | She may be the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be the treasure
Or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in the stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd,
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No ones allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'd remember till the day I die
She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for
Through the rough and ready years
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is She
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die
She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for
Through the rough and ready years
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is She
She....
The meaning of my life is She

Engelbert Humperdinck | The Power Of Love | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/the+power+of+love_20300204.html | The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake
[Chorus:]
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love
'Cause you're my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too
Much to take
That all ends when I'm with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side
[Chorus:]
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away
[Chorus:]

Engelbert Humperdinck | The Very Thought Of You | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/the+very+thought+of+you_21014476.html | The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

Engelbert Humperdinck | There Goes My Everything | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/there+goes+my+everything_20305097.html | I hear footsteps slowly walking,
As they gently walk across a lonely floor,
And a voice is softly saying,
Darling, this will be good-bye for ever more.
[Chorus:]
There goes my reason for living,
There goes the one of my dreams,
There goes my only possession,
There goes my everything.
As my memory turns back the pages,
I can see the happy years we had before,
Now the love that kept this old heart beating,
Has been shattered by the closing of the door.

Sunsets in your heart
The games lost, the spinning world stops
You say the course has been run
Now the end has now come
Please don't mean it's over 'cause there's
No good in goodbye
Let's dry our tears and give this love
Just one more try
There's so much history
Don't throw it away
'Cause tomorrow's a brand new day
Stay with me
Dreams die, the crow will fly
A kiss can't last all night
The moon sinks and for my last wish
You and I share this heart
Please don't mean it's over 'cause there's
No good in goodbye

Your heart [Incomprehensible]
Please don't take all the stars from the skies and
No good in goodbye
Let's dry our tears and give this love
Just one more try
There's so much history
Don't throw it away
'Cause tomorrow's a brand new day
And it's lived by destiny
Don't throw it away
Find a brand new day
We'll get out if we try
'Cause there's no good in goodbye

Why are the stars so bright
Why is the sky so blue
Since the hour I met you
Flowers are smiling bright
Smiling for our delight
Smiling so tenderly
For the world, you and me
I know why my world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
It is the same old story
Through all eternity
Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to love
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world, there is you
I care not what the world may be saying
Without our love, there is no day
So love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
I care not what the world may be saying
Without your love, there is no day
So love, this is my song
Here is my song, a serenade to you

It's so good bein' part of the story
This moment in time
This right time of day
Oh, I love bein' with you and watchin' my life at play
My love in your eyes
Is lightin' my dreams
And the feelin's you choose
Have touches of blues and greens
This trip into time
This timeless embrace
I'm like a kid in a store, I'll always want more to taste
And no matter what comes I know the sun is gonna shine
Because of you and me, there'll be this moment in time
And no matter what comes I know the sun is gonna shine
Because of you and me, there'll be this moment in time

And no matter what comes I know the sun is gonna shine
Because of you and me, there'll be this moment in time

Engelbert Humperdinck | To Get To You | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/to+get+to+you_21014465.html | I would walk on all my friends to get to you
If I lose them all for your love, I'll do that, too
Guess they mean well when they tell me what to do
But they don't know how far I'll go to get to you
Burning bridges behind me to get to you
Breaking all ties that bind me to get to you
I hold your love far above what I'd go through
I'd give all I own for a stepping stone to get to you
If it's the last I do, I'll get to you
Because I know how much you want me to
You're the only thing that can me my world in view
Every breath I take, every move I make, is to get to you
Burning bridges behind me to get to you
Breaking all ties that bind me to get to you
I hold your love far above what I'd go through
I'd give all I own for a stepping stone to get to you

When she fall in love
And he was everything
That she'd been dreaming of
She was proud to be the princess
Of a brave matador
Cause she knew that it was her
That he was always fighting for.
She brings him spanish roses
Cause she can still remember
All of the spanish roses
Her lover gave to her.
Torero te quiero.
Torero te quiero.
And now he's just a dream
That she used to love
Cause deep inside her heart
She's hold the memory of
The days she used to watch him
As the crowd sheered his name
To the day he lost the battle
And they carried him away.
She brings...
Torero...
She brings...
Solo
Torero...
She brings...
She brings...

Engelbert Humperdinck | True Love At Last | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/true+love+at+last_20663370.html | Don't go away yet
I haven't felt this dead in years
This room's full of people
With drinks in their hands, and nothing but nothing to say
Don't go away yet
It seems like everyone I love is gone
I'm praying for some kind of change
Nothing's changed, and nothing will change
Don't leave me now, you are the only thing left to believe in
Don't let me down, you are the last thing that I feel complete in
Don't go away yet
True love is dying off
Where everyone is searching
I'm just a face in the crowd
Said you wanted distance, this is what you get
The distance was half near far enough
(I could take it all if you come back, I dreamed of you and it came true)

Engelbert Humperdinck | What Are You Waiting For | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/what+are+you+waiting+for_21065906.html | It's time to say goodbye
So what are you waiting for
Well my feelings are disguised
So won't you walk out that door
Hurry babe
Before I cry
Hurry babe
Before I die
A few more steps
Well you say you love me babe
So why are you leaving for
You even say you're sorry
Did you think I'd believe you more
You say you wish
To still see me
Seemed silly
It's you who set me free
A few more steps
Look at you crying
Look at you shaking
Why are you doing that for
Whe where already gone through this
No need to go out for more
And I know that you're hurt
But I'm hurt too
Please don't ask me to comfort you
It's you who said that we were through
Ooh Baby
Ooh baby
Ooh Look at you crying
Look at you shaking
Why are you doing that for
Whe where already gone through this
No need to go out for more
And I know that you're hurt
But I'm hurt too
Please don't ask me to comfort you
It's you who said that we were through
Ooh Baby
Ooh baby
You said you need your freedom
So what are you staying for
You know it's your decision
You needn't explain no more
If I'm strong enough
To stand here tall
Than why can't you be strong at all
It's time to say goodbye
Come on before I cry
Oh baby before I die

Engelbert Humperdinck | What Now My Love | /e/engelbert+humperdinck/what+now+my+love_21014454.html | What now my love?
Now that you left me
How can I live through another day?
Watching my dreams turning to ashes
And my hopes into bits of clay
Once I could see
Once I could feel
Now I am numb
I've become unreal
I walk the night
Without a goal
Stripped of my heart and my soul
What now my love?
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

Engelbert Humperdinck | 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.

Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten

Your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know

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

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.

Engelbert Humperdinck | 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

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.

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

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
