George Michael | Learn To Say No | /g/george+michael/learn+to+say+no_20701506.html | Too strong woah
You're too strong for me baby
I've got to learn to say no
Something's wrong with me baby
I've got to learn to say no
I try to give you up but it's hard
Playing games left a hole in my heart
You've got me doing things I can't understand
Won't someone save me take this gun from my head
You're too strong for me baby
I've got to learn to say no (ugh)
Something's wrong with me baby
I've got to learn to say no
Same situation again and again
I'll say I'm leaving I just don't know when
You know that I could turn my back on the pain
It's just that something called pleasure keeps on calling my name
You're too strong for me baby
I've got to learn to say no (yeah)
Something's wrong with me baby
I've got to learn to say no
Ain't nobody gonna win this one baby
Breakdown
Love me do
Tell me true
Alibies
Little white lies
Gimme that
Gimme that
Gimme that
Gimme
Ain't nobody gonna win this one baby
Something called pleasure keeps on calling my name
You're too strong for me baby
I've got to learn to say no yeah ooooh
Something's wrong with me baby
I've got to learn to say no
I'm just a slave to your heart
You're too strong for me baby (Too strong)
I've got to learn to say no (I gottta learn to say no)
Something's wrong with me baby (Something's wrong)
I've got to learn to say no
I've got to
I've got to, got to, got to
I've got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to go

George Michael | Let Her Down Easy | /g/george+michael/let+her+down+easy_21077095.html | You're top man on scene
You don't think life comes in between
But hey, she's just seventeen
She feels like she's a worldly girl
But man you've been around the world
She is just some worried daddy's girl
Even though there's nothing I can say
To cheat you and nature any way
Let her down easy
Her heart is on a dime
Let her down easy
And she'll grow up in time
In her strawberry eyes
The way she sees you signifies
That she's susceptible to your velvet lies
But if you must lay her down
May a butterscotch glow be her dressing gown
Please do not lead her on when, oh when you leave town
Even though there's nothing I can say
To cheat you and nature any way
Let her down easy
Her heart is on the line
Let her down easy
And you'll grow up in time
She's a woman now
With a daughter to make her proud
In her crayon world of paper clouds
She still remembers you
The first boy that she gave it to
And she laughs at how little then she knew
Even though there's nothing I can say
To cheat you and nature any way
Let her down easy
Her heart is on a dime
Let her down easy
And she'll grow up in time
Whoa in time

George Michael | Like A Baby | /g/george+michael/like+a+baby_20059378.html | Foreign skies
That blinded me to empty charms
I crossed the ocean and fell into your arms
So sure, so wrong
You sang me a simple tune
I took it for a song
Say goodbye, don't tell me why you have to go
Loving you was as good as gold (as good as gold)
I'd love to love you, really love you
But you see, there's something you should now
I really didn't think you'd go
Because today
I could have sworn I heard you say
I love you
I want you
I need to be with you
Today
I saw something in your face
Stay here
Beside me
I need your love to hide me
You lied
And now you've gone away
And left me crying like a baby

George Michael | One More Try | /g/george+michael/one+more+try_20059269.html | I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don't just let me go
'Cause teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me no
So you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go
And teacher
There are things
That I don't want to learn
Oh the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
Let me go
And teacher
There are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh so I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who just isn't willing to try
I'm so cold
Inside
Maybe just one more try

George Michael | Spinning The Wheel | /g/george+michael/spinning+the+wheel_20059303.html | Five o'clock in the morning
You ain't home
I can't help thinking that's strange
Baby I just want you to know
I won't go through it again
Yes, those clouds are closing in
And I will not accept this as a part of my life
I will not live in fear
Of what may be
And the lessons I have learned
I would rather be alone than watch you
Spinning that wheel for me
You've got a thing about danger
Ain't you getting what you want from me
You've got a thing about strangers
Baby that's what we used to be
You've got a thing about danger baby
I guess the hungry just can't see
One of these days
You're gonna bring some home to me
Six o'clock in the morning
You ain't home
I can't help thinking that's strange
It seems that everybody takes their chances
These days
Oh yeah we're standing in the rain
And I will not accept this as part of my life
How can you love me
When you are playing with my life
You say give me time and I'll do better I swear
Give me time and I'll lead you back to despair
And I don't want to go back there

George Michael | Star People '97 | /g/george+michael/star+people+97_20059275.html | Star people
Counting your money until your soul turns green
Star people
Counting the cost of your desire to be seen
I do not count myself among you
I may have been living in a dream
It's just there seem so many of you
Can't help but hope there's a difference between
And if I live to be a hundred and one
I will never understand what you are, honey?
I'm looking for sympathy
Just get me on NBC
And where's the hell's my dumb ass PR?
I said maybe your mama gave you up boy
(It's the same old same old)
I said maybe your daddy didn't love you enough girl
(How much is enough)
Star people
Never forget your secrets safe with me
Just look at all the wonderful people
Trying to forget just who and what they have been
Oh, it's a dream
With a nightmare stuck in the middle
Are you serious? I'm just curious
Without all this attention
You'd die
I'd die
We'd die (Wouldn't we baby)
And if I live to be a hundred and one
I will never understand what you are
(I'm talking to you)
You're looking for sympathy from people who work to eat
And they don't really seem to mind
I said maybe your mama gave you up boy
(It's the same old same old)
I said maybe baby your daddy didn't love you enough girl
How much is enough?
How much is enough?
How much is enough?
Are you serious? I'm just curious
Are you serious? I'm just curious
Yeah more glycerin
Let's go back to the day
DJ (Why do you wanna tell me that?)
DJ (Get yourself some Oprah cash)
Is that what makes a star?
Did you get off on a bad foot, baby
Do you have a little tale to tell
Did you get off on a bad foot, bad, bad foot?
Is that why you're a star?
Do you really think you've got it so hard?
Do you think it might do you some good to look around you
And decide how you might feel
If the pain you felt was real
Tell me
Now nothing comes for nothing, baby
That fame and fortune's heaven sent
And who gives a fuck about your problems, darling
'Cause you can pay the rent
You can pay

George Michael | To Be Forgiven | /g/george+michael/to+be+forgiven_20059337.html | I'm going down
Won't you help me
Save me from myself
I hear the sound of the memory
Maybe time will tell
Suddenly my life is like a river
Taking me places I don't want to go
But like all good men who swim too well
It takes all that I have just to cry for help
Then that voice in my head tells me no
I'm going down
Won't you help me
Save me from myself
I hear the sound of the memory
Maybe, who can tell ?
Let me live my life beside the river
Take me to places where a child can grow
And then maybe the boy inside will forsake me
Maybe the child in me will just let me go
I'm going down
The cold, cold water is rushing in
I'm going down
And I would beg to be forgiven
If I knew my sin

George Michael | Waiting For That Day | /g/george+michael/waiting+for+that+day_20059277.html | So every day I see you in some other face
They crack a smile, talk a while
Try to take your place
My memory serves me far too well
I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself
You're a fool boy
Why don't you go down
Find somebody
Find somebody else
My memory serves me far too well
It's not as though we just broke up
It's not as though it was yesterday
But something I just can't explain
Something in me needs this pain
I know I'll never see your face again
C'mon now
I've got to be strong now
Now everybody's talking about this new decade
Like you say the magic numbers
Then just say goodbye to
The stupid mistakes you made
Oh my memory serves me far too well
Don't you know that
The years will come and go
Some of us will change our lives
Some of us still have nothing to show
Nothing baby
But memories
And if these wounds
They are self-inflicted
I don't really know
How my poor heart could have protected me
But if I have to carry this pain
If you will not share the blame
I deserve to see your face again
C'mon now
You don't have to be so strong now
Come back
Come back to me darling
I will make it worth your while
Come back to your baby
I miss your kiss
I miss your smile
Seems to me the peace I search to find
Ain't going to be mine until you say you will
Don't you keep me waiting for that day
I know, I know, I know
You hear these words that I say
You can't always get what you want.

George Michael | You Have Been Loved | /g/george+michael/you+have+been+loved_20059308.html | She takes the back road and the lane
Past the school that has not changed
In all this time
She thinks of when the boy was young
All the battles she had won
Just to give him life
That man
She loved that man
For all his life
But now we meet to take him flowers
And only god knows why
For what's the use in pressing palms
When children fade in mother's arms
It's a cruel world
We've so much to lose
And what we have to learn, we rarely choose
So if it's god who took her son
He cannot be the one living in her mind
Take care my love, she said
Don't think that god is dead
Take care my love, she said
You have been loved
If I was weak, forgive me
But I was terrified
You brushed my eyes with angels wings, full of love
The kind that makes devils cry
So these days
My life has changed
And I'll be fine
But she just sits and counts the hours
Searching for her crime
For what's the use in pressing palms
If you won't keep such love from harm
It's a cruel world
You've so much to prove
And heaven help the ones who wait for you
Well I've no daughters, I've no sons
Guess I'm the only one
Living in my life
Take care my love, he said
Don't think that God is dead
Take care my love, he said
You have been loved

And I'll never give you much
Hey everybody's got some moment in their lives
They can't change

All that I know
Is that something's so wrong with this heat
Why do you touch the flame
You know you feal the pain my dear
You always find it here
You say
[Chorus]
But it's never gonna
So what happens everytime
It's so easy to forget myself where
A little while you want a boy
In a place you will be all mine
Can't you see
Oh, I'm losing you baby
Chorus
But it's never gonna be that easy
You want a lover, I am just a friend

George Michael | Young Guns | /g/george+michael/young+guns_10130135.html | Hey sucker
(What the hell's got into you?)
Hey sucker
(Now there's nothing you can do)
Well I hadn't seen your face around town awhile,
So I greeted you, with a knowing smile,
When I saw that girl upon your arm,
I knew she won your heart with a fatal charm.
I said "Soul Boy, let's hit the town!"
I said "Soul Boy, what's with the frown?"
But in return, all you could say was
"Hi George, meet my fiancee"
Young Guns,
Having some fun
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run.
Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties.
See me, single and free
No tears, no fears, what I want to be.
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony!
Hey sucker,
(What the hell's got into you?)
Hey sucker!
(Now there's nothing you can do.)
A married man? You're out of your head
Sleepless nights, on an H. P. Bed
A daddy by the time you're twenty-one
If your happy with a nappy then you're in for fun.
But you're here-
And you're there
Well there's guys like you just everywhere
Looking back on the good old days?
Well this young gun says caution pays!
Chorus:
Young Guns,
Having some fun
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run.
Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties.
See me, single and free
No tears, no fears, what I want to be.
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony!
I remember when he such fun and everthing was fine,
I remember when we use to have a good time,
Partners in crime.
Tell me that's all in the past and I will gladly walk away,
Tell me that you're happy now,
Turning my back-
Nothing to say!
"Hey tell this jerk to take a hike,
There's somethin' 'bout that boy I don't like"
"Well sugar he don't mean the things he said"
"Just get him outta my way, 'cause I'm seeing red
We got plans to make, we got things to buy
And you're wasting time on some creepy guy"
"Hey shut up chick, that's a friend of mine,
Just watch your mouth babe, you're out of line"
Ooooooh!
Get back
Hands off
Go for it!
Chorus

George Michael | You've Changed | /g/george+michael/youve+changed_20059349.html | You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes has gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart, you've changed
You've changed
Your kisses are now so blase
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand you've changed
You've forgotten the word I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize you ever cared
You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now, you've changed
You've forgotten the word I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize you ever cared
You've changed
You're not the angle I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now, you've changed
I miss you

George Strait | 4 Minus 3 Equals Zero | /g/george+strait/4+minus+3+equals+zero_20059391.html | You always said you loved me
And I always believed yu did
But now you say you're leaving
And taking both of the kids
[Chorus]
4 minus 3 equals zero
Your leaving just don't add up
It's all over for me if you go
Cause I'll be nothing without your love
The babies are sleeping in the bedroom
They don't know you're packing their clothes
At least they didn't see me crying
When you said that's the way love goes
[Chorus]
4 minus 3 equals zero
Cause I'll be nothing without your love

George Strait | 80 Proof Bottle Of Tear Stopper | /g/george+strait/80+proof+bottle+of+tear+stopper_20151029.html | You ain't never fell as far as when you fall in love
Except the fall you take when you've been loved and given up
When you have your heart and soul rubbed into the dirt
An eighty-proof bottle of tear-stopper will take away the hurt
Give me an eighty-proof bottle of tear-stopper
And I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying
Because it dries up all my crying
An eighty-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free
It ain't easy losing love although it's turned out bad
All at once you're turning off old feelings you once had
But I found a helping hand right here in my hand
And eighty-proof bottle of tear-stopper will help me take 'em out
Give me an eighty-proof bottle of tear-stopper
And I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying
Because it dries up all my crying
An eighty-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free

George Strait | A Better Rain | /g/george+strait/a+better+rain_20818210.html | Baby, what do you say when love comes down on you
Rainin' the blues on you
Like it's never gonna end on you
And all yourdreams like leaves in the gutter go floatin' by
No, baby, I don't know why all God's children cry
I'll miss your skin, as golden as your wheatfield hair
And where you go I hope you find out there
A better rain
The kind that comes in off the coast and paints the sky
And lets you know that God's alive
A better rain
That'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again
And be all right again
In a better rain
Someday is gonna find you in a sweeter place
Long after time has erased
All the words like razor blades
You'll remember you and me before the flood
Once upon a time in love, a beautiful us
I can see you on some stretch of sand
Spinin' round in circles barefoot dancin' in
A better rain
That'll leave behind a rainbow in the sky
Lets you know that God's alive
A better rain
That'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again
And be all right again
In a better rain
A better rain
That'll leave a rainbow in the sky
Lets you know that God's alive
In a better rain
A better rain

George Strait | A Fire I Can't Put Out | /g/george+strait/a+fire+i+cant+put+out_10130144.html | I'm finding out how hot an old flame can burn.
You're a feeling I haven't forgot, the love I can't unlearn.
You've become a memory I can't live without.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.
[Chorus]
I don't know how to handle the dream you left behind.
It's like a lighted candle burning up my mind.
At least I'm happy knowing what love is all about.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.
Embers to ashes, that's how it should be.
You'd think by now my heart would know, and it could set you free.
The things I've tried, the tears I've cried, I guess there's no doubt
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.
[Chorus]
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

George Strait | A Heart Like Hers | /g/george+strait/a+heart+like+hers_20819268.html | Every time that someone walks in
She turns around to see if it's him
She checks her watch by the clock
I can't count the times he's stood her up
And one's too much
[Chorus]
How could anybody break a heart like hers
I can't stand to watch her hurt
I would gladly take his place
If she'd just love me that way
He must not know what it's worth
I don't understand how anyone
Could break a heart like hers
She keeps saying he'll change someday
He wasn't always this way
She things he hung the moon and stars
But all he's done is string her along like this
It don't make sense
[Chorus]
How could anybody break
A heart like hers

George Strait | A Little Heaven's Rubbing Off On Me | /g/george+strait/a+little+heavens+rubbing+off+on+me_20059576.html | I used to like making love and then gettin' up and never havin' to explain
I've always been free I never could see me dragin' no ball and chain
I like running around and being tied down never was my cup of tea
But since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me
And I'm beginning to like just sittin' and holding hands
Looking into her eyes I'm thinking bout future plans
And then I get the feelin' that the life that I'd been leadin'
Ain't all it's cracked up to be
Since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me
I used like to spend the night sittin' on an old barstool
Drinking wine and killing time with all over those other fools
But since you took my hand I think I understand it ain't the way it out to be
Since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me
And I'm beginning to like
Since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me

George Strait | All I Want For Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth) | /g/george+strait/all+i+want+for+christmas+is+my+two+front+teeth_20238948.html | Everybody stops and stares at me
These two teeth are gone as you can see
I don't know just who to blame for this castastrophe
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as can be
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas"
It seems so long since I could say
"Sister, Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I'd be, if I could only whistle
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas"
It seems so long since I could say
"Sister, Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I'd be, if I could only whistle
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas"

George Strait | All My Ex's Live In Texas | /g/george+strait/all+my+exs+live+in+texas_20059544.html | [Chorus]
All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
Rosanna's down in Texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet Eileen's in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
And Allison's in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's
Got the law looking for me
[Chorus]
I remember that old Frio River
Where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight
All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
Therefore I reside in Tennessee
Some folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumored that I died
But I'm alive and well in Tennessee

Every part of me
Down to the heart of me
Loves you through and through
Now wanting you it's all I do
All of my loves all of you
O' I have hear those tender words
But my heart wasn't listenin'
Till I found you I never knew
Just what I was missin'
O' I have hear those tender words
But my heart wasn't listenin'
Till I found you I never knew
Just what I was missin'
All of me loves all of you

George Strait | Am I Blue | /g/george+strait/am+i+blue_20059545.html | [Chorus]
Am I blue
Yes I'm blue
It started the day I lost you
Nobody ever loved somebody like I do
Am I blue
Am I blue
Just this mornin'
over coffee
I sat there cryin'
cause you're gone long gone
I didn't know just how much
I was gonna miss you
till I spent my first night alone
Am I blue
Yes I'm blue
How could I have been such a fool
Now look at all the misery I'm going through
Am I blue
Am I blue
Tried to call and say I'm sorry
I couldn't get you on the line
You'll never know just how much
I'm wishin' you would show up
and say you've changed your mind
[Chorus]

George Strait | Angel, Angelina | /g/george+strait/angel+angelina_20059402.html | Angel, oh my angel, Angelina

George Strait | Baby Blue | /g/george+strait/baby+blue_20059617.html | She looked so much like a lady, but she was so much like a child.
A devil when she held me close, an angel when she smiled.
She always held it deep inside, but somehow I always knew
She's go away when the grass turned green
And the sky turned baby blue.
And baby blue was the color of her eyes.
Baby blue like the Colorado skies.
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
And I still don't know why,
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.
She brought colors to my life that my eyes had never touched.
And when she taught me how to care, I never cared so much.
I try not to think of her, but I fall asleep and do,
And drift off where the grass is green and the sky is baby blue.
And baby blue was the color of her eyes.
Baby blue like the Colorado skies.
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
And I still don't know why,
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.
And baby blue was the color of her eyes.
Baby blue like the Colorado skies.
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
And I still don't know why,
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.

George Strait | Baby Your Baby | /g/george+strait/baby+your+baby_20059565.html | All you know it all lovers better heed some advice,
If you're bad to your baby, you'd better think twice.
Love don't come easy, love ain't blind.
You've got to show her you love her, morning and night,
Be there for her just to make things right.
Make her believe till there ain't a doubt in her mind.
[Chorus]
Better baby your baby with a love that's strong,
Hold her and tell her you'll never do wrong.
Better baby your baby, ?cause if you don't
One day your baby?ll be gone.
Don't let her get lonely, don't make her cry,
Don't take her for granted, don't tell her a lie.
Bring her red roses when she's blue.
Give her the best of what you've got to give,
You'll be together as long as you live,
Better baby your baby, she?ll baby you.
[Chorus]

George Strait | Baby's Gotten Good At Goodbye | /g/george+strait/babys+gotten+good+at+goodbye_20059403.html | What a rotten day this turned out to be
I still can't believe she'd leave so easily
She just got all her things threw em' into a pile
Then she loaded her car and said after a while
She done this before but this time she didn't cry
That's why I'm sittin on the front steps
Starin down the road, wonderin' if she'll come Back this time I don't know
After she packed
When she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
And that's got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby's gotten good at a goodbyes
All the times before she'd break down and cry
She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye
She just wanted me to hear what she had to say
Now I'm lost for words since she went away
She may not return for this time she didn't cry
That's why I'm sittin on the front steps
Starin down the road, wonderin' if she'll come back
This time I don't know
After she packed when she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
And that's got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye
That's why I'm sittin on the front steps
Staring down the road, wonderin' if she'll come back
This time I don't know
After she packed when she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
And that's got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye

George Strait | Beyond The Blue Neon | /g/george+strait/beyond+the+blue+neon_20059404.html | Swingin' doors
Sawdust floors
A heartache drowns as the whiskey pours
There's a hole in the wall
From some free for all
The ringin' crack of that old cue ball
I've been fallin' in here
For what seems like years
Where the tears and the lonely belong
And wonder what's going on
Beyond that blue neon
[Chorus:]
I hear tell there's people out there who don't know
What losin' you means
They don't have a heart
That just falls apart
At the mention of your name
I heard they pretend
The world didn't end
Right when I knew you were gone
I guess life still goes on
Beyond that blue neon
[Chorus:]
But it's a quarter 'til two
And I don't have a clue
As to what I'll do from now 'til dawn
I wonder what's going on
Beyond that blue neon
Lord, what's going on
Beyond that blue neon

George Strait | Breath You Take | /g/george+strait/breath+you+take_20897750.html | He looks up from second base
Dad's up in the stands
He saw the hit, the run, the slide
There ain't no bigger fan
In the parking lot after the game
He said "Dad I thought you had a plane to catch?"
He smiled and said "Yeah son I did"
But life's not the breath you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what its all about
You just might miss the point
Trying to win the race
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away
Fast forward fifteen years
And a thousand miles away
Boys built a life, he's got a wife
And a baby due today
He hears a voice saying "I made it son"
Says "I told you Dad, you didn't have to come"
He smiles and says "Yeah I know you did"
But life's not the breath you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what its all about
You just might miss the point
Trying to win the race
Life's not the breathes you take
But the moments that take your breath away
Just like it took my breath away when she was born
Just like it took my breath away when Dad took his last that morn
Life's not the breathes you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point
If you don't slow down the pace
Life's not the breathes you take
But the moments that take your breath away

George Strait | Brothers Of The Highway | /g/george+strait/brothers+of+the+highway_20745037.html | Diamonds on the windshield, as heaven starts to cry,
In his rear-view mirror, his angle waves goodbye,
She knows he's got to go, she knows he's one of them,
[Chorus]
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind,
That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes rollin' out again,
Sailin' for that settin' sun, freedoms your best friend,
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.
He putts the peddle to the metal, trying to out run the rain,
Another shot of truck stop coffee, goes runnin' through his veins,
This country turns on eighteen wheels, thank god we can depend, on
[Chorus]
Carolina west to Denver, Batton Rouge east to Pittsburgh, Portland south to
San Diego, sail on sail on, Tallahassee north to Boston, up to
Bangor west to Austin, coast to coast sea to sea sail on sail on, you
[Chorus]
God bless you brothers of the highway, children of the wind.

[Chorus]
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on
Baby I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away
It might seem like an ordinary night
Same ol' stars same ol' moon up high
But when I see you standin' at your door
Nothin's ordinary anymore

Carried away

George Strait | Christmas Cookies | /g/george+strait/christmas+cookies_20167283.html | I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, bells and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
Now, Christmas cookies are a special treat
The more she bakes the more I eat
And sometimes I can't get myself to stop
Sometimes she'll wait till I'm asleep
She'll take the ones I didn't eat
And put those little sprinkly things on top
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, bells and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
Now those sprinkly things just makes things worse
'Cause it makes them taste better than they did at first
And they're absolutely impossible to resist
Some disappear to who knows where
But I make sure I get my share
And those kids just stand there waiting for the ones I miss
Sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
Sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
She gets mad that they're all gone
Before she gets the icing put on
Sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
Now there's a benefit to all of this
That you might have overlooked or missed
So now let me tell you the best part of it all
Every time she sticks another batch in the oven
There's 15 minutes for some kissin' and'a huggin'
That's why I eat Christmas cookies all year long
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, bells and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe [x2]

George Strait | Come On Joe | /g/george+strait/come+on+joe_20713305.html | Well, it's a long, hot night
And the stars are shining kinda extra bright
Sitting on the back porch glidin'
Whetting my appetite
Well, I'm a six-pack high
And start missing the light of my baby's eyes
Wasn't it beautiful, the kind of a soul they said would never die
Well, it's muggy in the shack
And the backwoods are black
'Cause the clouds hid the moon away
The light from my cigarette flickers in the dark
The only way she knows I'm here
Then suddenly the sounds of the fiddles and accordions
Sweetly begin to play and I can almost hear her sweet voice say
[Chorus]
Come on Joe, just count to ten
Pull yourself together again
And come on Joe, you gotta get hold of this mood you're in
Come on Joe, you gotta be strong
You're still young and life goes on to carry on
'Til we're together again
Hey, I know she's right
But it's hard to fight when you're hurtin' so
I tried to walk out of that door before but I just can't go
With the tears and the laughter in every rafter in every room
Wasn't it beautiful
Wasn't it the kind of happiness and glow
[Chorus]
Come on Joe
Hey, come on Joe
To carry on 'til we're together again

George Strait | Cowboys Like Us | /g/george+strait/cowboys+like+us_10130444.html | I take off time to time
With those crazy friends of mine
Head out on steel horses
With wheels and we ride
We burn up that road to old Mexico
Blend in with the desert
Just we amigos
And we roll
Cowboys like us sure do have fun
Racin' the wind, chasin' the sun
Take the long way around back to square one
Today we're just outlaws out on the run
There'll be no regrets, no worries and such
For cowboys like us
We talk about livin', babies, and women
All that we've lost and all we've been givin'
We sing about true love, lie about things we ain't done
Drink one more cold one, come mornin' get up
And we roll

Cowboys like us

You're gettin' me into deep water
Be careful what you do
You want a romance
But I'm seekin' love
I know I'll regret it when it ends
I'm winding up in deep water
Why can't we just be friends
It's restless in this deep water
I'm lost between right and wrong
My love is true as deep water
You're love won't last as long
Where will it lead me
And where will it end
I can't help but wish I only knew
I'm winding up in deep water
So deep in love with you

Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I
Shake the sleep from my head
And try to crawl out of bed
Today is just another day
I make the coffee for one
I turn the radio on
Pretend that everything's ok, but

And now I
Know there's no reason to smile
It's gonna take me awhile
'Cause I still love you desperately

And now I
Watch the sun goin' down
There ain't nobody around
I feel a night in the breeze
I keep on tellin' myself
I don't need nobody else
And I can do as I please, but

And now I

And now
Every night it's the same
I hear you callin' my name
I still love you desperately
I still love you
I still want you
I still love you desperately

I might as well go on and set her free, she's already turned me loose.
No fault, no blame, nobody done no wrong-
That's just the way it sometimes goes.
Sometimes two people just don't get along, it's time to hit the road.
[Chorus]
Goodbye, farewell, so long, vaya con dios.
Good luck, wish you well, take it slow.
Easy come girl, easy go.
We tried to work it out a hundred times, ninety- nine it didn't work.
I think it's best we put it all behind before we wind up getting hurt.
No hard feelings darling, no regrets,
No tears and no broken hearts.
Call it quits, calling off all bets, it just wasn't in the cards.
[Chorus]
Easy come girl, easy go.
Vaya con dios, good luck,
Easy come, easy go.

And point out each mistake she makes
In front of all your friends

You lose a little ground
She slips a little farther away
Each time that you put her down

Somebody who knows what he's found
Every time you throw dirt on her
You lose a little ground

But, I ain't saying a word
I give you all the rope to hang yourself
That you deserve
You might be ahead of me in her heart today
But, that's okay
Every time you throw dirt on her
You lose a little ground
She slips a little farther away
Each time that you put her down

And when all's been said and done
I'm gonna be the one
Who'll hang around and take her faults and all
Yeah I'll hang around and take her faults and all

George Strait | Fifteen Years Going Up | /g/george+strait/fifteen+years+going+up_10130655.html | 15 years together
We climbed by work and will
From a simple two room cottage
To a mansion on the hill
Now there's rose in the garden
But it's the coldest place in town
It took 15 years, goin up
And one night coming down
15 years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From out on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
15 years, goin up
And one night coming down
Her dreams have all been shattered
Her faith in my is gone
My tears tell her I'm sorry
But they can't write my wrong
One night wrote my story
How a man can lose it all
After 15 years goin up
It's hard to take a fall
15 years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From out on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
15 years, goin up
And one night coming down
I've been, 15 years goin up
And one night comin down

George Strait | Fool Hearted Memory | /g/george+strait/fool+hearted+memory_20059478.html | Nickels and dimes
Memories and wines
She's on his mind once again
The same old fool
The same old stool
Played by the rules but didn't win
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose
He tried forgetting but he knows that it's no use
[Chorus]
He's got a fool hearted memory
That won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more
She was his girl
His only whirl
That string of pearls that slipped away
A thousand dimes
A thousand times
He doesn't mind what they say
He fills the jukebox
And plays the same old song
He fills his glass
And then he turns her memory on
[Chorus: x2]

Pray that everyone sees that we've opened the eyes

George Strait | Four Down And Twelve Across | /g/george+strait/four+down+and+twelve+across_10130465.html | I don't know what to think of it
Sometimes I hate it
Sometimes I love it
Girl, this relationship we're in
To say the least it's puzzlin'
Like a crossword puzzle
Fill in the blanks
[Chorus]
What's four down and twelve across
Two letter synonym for lost That's me
And a three letter word
That rhymes with through
Oh I get it, that's you
Never believed in horoscopes
But to the left of the ad
For a new dishwashin' soap
Dear Abby's got some good advice
For a troubled couple lost in paradise
In the Living section
Page two
What's four down and twelve across
Two letter synonym for lost
That's me
And a three letter word
That rhymes with through
Oh, I get it
That's you, that's me, that's us
Sometimes love ain't enough
We try and try
For the life of me, why did we give up
[Chorus]
That's me
Oh, that's us
What's four down and twelve across That's us

George Strait | Frosty The Snowman | /g/george+strait/frosty+the+snowman_20059526.html | Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corn cop pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made out of snow
But the children know how he came to life one day
There must of been some magic in
That ol' silk cap they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the snowman knew the snow was hot that day
So he said lets run and have some fun before I melt away
Down to the village with a broom stick in his hand
Runnin' here and there all around the square
Sayin' catch me if you can
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler stop
Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye sayin' please don't cry
I'll be back again some day

George Strait | Give It All We Got Tonight | /g/george+strait/give+it+all+we+got+tonight_21057790.html | July moonlight shines
Your pretty little head on my shoulder
Pull over on the side of the road
Oh my God, you're something
Like nothing I've ever seen
If I'm asleep girl, let me dream
Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right
'Cause that's all we have in this life
Drink up this love, baby, give it all we got tonight
Summer honeysuckle
Leaking through a rolled down window
We both know when that seat lays back
Anything can happen
So imagine it'll never end
Just close your eyes and you can see that we are where we're meant to be
Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right
'Cause that's all we have in this life
Baby, drink up this love, give it all we got tonight
Give it all we got tonight
Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right
'Cause that's all we have in this life
Drink up this love, c'mon, give it all we got tonight
Give it all we got tonight

George Strait | Give It Away | /g/george+strait/give+it+away_20470290.html | She was stormin' through the house that day
And I could tell she was leavin'
And I thought, 'aw, she'll be back.'
Until we turned around and pointed at the wall and said
That picture from out honeymoon
That night in 'Frisco Bay
Just give it away
She said give it away
That big four poster king sized bed
Where so much love was made
Just give it away
She said just give it away
[Chorus]
Just give it away
There ain't nothing in this house worth fightin' over
Oh, we're both tired of fightin' anyway
Just give it away
Oh, I tried to move on
But I found that each woman I held
Just reminded me of that day
When that front door swung wide open
She flung her diamond ring
Said, give it away
Just give it away
And I said, now honey
Don't you even want your half of everything
She said give it away
Just give it away
[Chorus]
So, I'm still right here where she left me
Along with all the other things that she don't care about anymore
Hmm
Like that picture from our honeymoon
That night in 'Frisco Bay
She said give it away
Well, I can't give it away
That big four poster king sized bed
Where all our love was made
She said give it away
Well, I can't give it away
I've got furnished house
A diamond ring
And a lonely, broken heart
Full of love
And I can't even give it away

George Strait | Give Me More Time | /g/george+strait/give+me+more+time_20745036.html | A banker and a farmer discuss the bottom line,
It ain't rained and all the crops are dying on the vine.
Give me more time.
You gotta give me more time.
That farm's been in my family going on a hundred years.
We've pulled through hard times before with blood sweat and tears.
Give me more time,
I need more time.
Oh, what would he give for a little more time?
Two lovers at a table candlelight and wine,
One's looking for an answer the other one can't find.
Give me more time, You gotta give me more time.
She says "You know I love you but my heart's in a bind,
Afraid you?re gonna leave me if I don't make up my mind."
Give me more time, I gotta have more time.
Some have barely any, some too much on their hands.
Some would give anything to have it back again.
A patient and his doctor meet behind closed doors,
You kidding me? How could this be, I'm only 24. Give me more time,
You gotta give me more time, give me more time.

George Strait | Go On | /g/george+strait/go+on_10130227.html | I'm so sorry, I keep interrupting
What were you gonna say
You caught him cheating, I don't blame you
For walking away
I know where you're coming from, it sounds like where I've been
Oh there I go interrupting your story once again.
Go on, go on
You were saying how a fool can only fool you so long.
It's true, it's so true
When they do you like that, what else can you do
But go on
Our conversation won't change nothing,
But it's sure nice to talk
With somebody whose been cut of
The same old cloth
You know how you said happiness can't be found looking back
If you don't mind maybe we can talk a little more about that.
Go on, go on
You were saying this is better than sitting at home.
It's true, it's so true
When they do you like that, what else can you do
But go on
Even when you see no reason to
Don't wait to live life cause it won't wait for you.
Go on, please go on
You were saying what don't kill us only makes us strong
It's true, that's so true
When they do you like that what else can you do
But go on,
Just go on,
Life goes on,
And on.

George Strait | Heartland | /g/george+strait/heartland_10130634.html | When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar
You're listenin' to the sound of the American heart
And opry music on a Saturday night
Brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye
[Chorus: x2]
Sing a song about the Heartland
The only place I feel at home
Sing about the way a good man
Works until the daylight's gone
Sing the rain on the roof on a summer night
Where they still know wrong from right
Sing a song about the Heartland
Sing a song about my life

Surely by now somebody's missin' you
I found the angel they must be lookin' for
Heaven must be wondering where you are
When I look into your eye's
It's so plain to see
Nothin' here on earth describes what you mean to me
Out of this world when I hold you in my arms
Heaven must be wondering where you are
Lucky me to be the one to find
Someone like you this side of paradise
I know how lost I'd be without here sweetheart
Heaven must be wondering where you are
Some where up there beyond the blue
Surely by now somebody's missin' you
I found the angel they must be lookin' for
Heaven must be wondering where you are
I found the angel they must be lookin' for
Heaven must be wondering where you are

George Strait | Holding My Own | /g/george+strait/holding+my+own_10130415.html | There are people who don't know me
Who must think I've got it made
From all outward appearances
I guess it looks that way
I've got good friends and family
They let me know they care
I got a job to keep me going
And a car to get me there
I'm holding my own
But I'd rather be holding you
I can make it alone
But not like I made it with you
Without you here
This house just ain't no home
How long can I go on holding my own
There's brand new show that's playing
At the movies down the street
I'll probably go there after work
Then stop somewhere to eat
I've got cable on my TV
And I'll leave her on all night
While I dose off to sleep
And dream that I'm alright
I'm holding my own
But I'd rather be holding you
I can make it alone
But not like I made it with you
Without you here
This house just ain't no home
How long can I go on holding my own
How long can I go on holding my own

Haven't got a care
I haven't got a thing to call my own
Though I'm out of money
'm a millionaire
I still have my home in san antone
When I greet my neighbor with a "hi why'all"
I'm wealthy as a king upon a throne
You can have your mansion or your cottage small
I'll just take my home in san antone
Traveling around the country
On my merry way
I've been to crowds and felt I was alone
But when I feel like braggin'
I just up and say
I'm a native son of san antone
There's a sweet somebody by the alamo
Someday she's going to be my very own
And we'll buy a high chair in a year or so
For our little home in san antone

George Strait | Honky Tonk Crazy | /g/george+strait/honky+tonk+crazy_20059609.html | There's a hundred dollar bill on the table
To get me through the night
Got a tight blue jean honky tonk queen
To hold me tight and the cowboy bands in mission
Of Texas waltz
It's music to my ears and a need to hear
To keep me from climbing the wall
Cause tonight I'll be honky tonk crazy
Rip roaring wild, one more time
Tonight I'll be, honky tonk crazy
Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind
Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind
Got all my friends around me
Telling the latest jokes
They can't see the joke's on me
I'm at the end of my rope
So i step out side and drink one
In the driving rain
That's all right if i'm high tonight
Cause she's already drove me insane.
Cause tonight I'll be honky tonk crazy
Rip roaring wild, one more time
Tonight I'll be, honky tonk crazy
Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind
Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind
Oh, let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind

Til that 'ol sun goes down
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears
My wife works all night long
For a man who's halfway gone
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs
It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares
To the men with hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs
It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares
To the men with hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs

George Strait | Honky Tonk Saturday Night | /g/george+strait/honky+tonk+saturday+night_20059443.html | Angels and devils share the same tables
And that's not so wrong if you get it done right.
Halos and horns lock up on the dance floor
On a honkytonk Saturday night.
It's a honkytonk Saturday night,
It's not who is who, it's who will or who might.
With luck she'll turn on 'fore they turn out the lights
On a honkytonk Saturday night.
I played the jukebox, I played some merle haggard,
Me and the waitress think he's outta' sight.
Then some folks got thirsty while we were dancin'
On a honkytonk Saturday night.
It's a honkytonk Saturday night,
It's not who is who, it's who will or who might.
With luck I'll turn her on 'fore they turn out the lights
On a honkytonk Saturday night.
With luck I'll take her home 'fore they turn out the lights
On a honkytonk Saturday night.

George Strait | House Of Cash | /g/george+strait/house+of+cash_20745035.html | Well the House of Cash just burned down
All the way to the cold hard ground
The doctors came from all over town
To see the memories scattered all around
Then the stars came out by the light of day
And they heard their old friend passed away
That yard looked like a funeral hall
Without the pies and casseroles
[Chorus:]
Well, its goodbye Johnny goodbye June
Goodbye fancy living room
Well no one sleeps in Cash's bed
Except the man in black and the woman he wed
And the ring of fire comes full circle
And the ring of fire comes all the way around
And if those ashes in the pool could talk
To the anchor man out on the walk
I'd bet they'd be happy to announce
There'll be no yard sale now
[Chorus]
And the ring of fire comes full circle
And the ring of fire comes all the way around

From down here, up North and inbetween,
But baby it's a shame 'cause I always feel the same
When I can't see Texas from here.
[Chorus:]
I can't see Texas from here.
No matter how I try, it makes me want to cry.
So if you see me lookin' down,
I'm tryin' not to show this frown
'Cause I can't see Texas from here.
I can't say I don't like Tennessee.
The people here have all been good to me.
So please don't take offense if I start to get intense
Just 'cause I can't see Texas from here.
[Chorus: x2]
'Cause I can't see Texas, I can't see Texas,
I can't see Texas from here.

We knew it from the start
I can see it in your eyes
You can feel it from my heart
From here on after
Let's stay the way we are right now
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow.

I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine
You will always be the miracle
That makes my life complete
And as long as there's a breath in me
I'll make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future
It's as far as we can see
So let's make each tomorrow
Be the best that it can be
[Chorus]
And if along the way we find a day
It starts to storm
You've got the promise of my love
To keep you warm
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine
A love as true as mine

I cussed the Lord for the day I was born
And prayed to the Devil to die
Just when I thought the Devil had won
Someone opened up the door
The King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
[Chorus]
Now, he broke the chains that bound me, and now I'm free
Today I'm right where Mama
Prayed I'd be
I'm down on my knees
Now I believe
What Mama knew for sure
He's King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
Now, if you're in trouble friend, let me tell you what to do
I'll tell you what he's done for me
And I know what he'll do for you
It makes no difference what you've done
You've a friend in the One that I adore
The King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor

He's King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor

You called me on the telephone
How many times will it take till I'm convinced
That you're using me, I'm just a used-to-be?
It's a lie, I know it's a lie
But I just can't go on dying like this
Can I see you tonight?
Baby, I'll act just like you want me to
Or is that just exactly what I'm not supposed to do?
I'll just stop in here, have a glass of beer
I'm just a fool I guess
But I just can't go on dying like this
Here I am again, it's four AM
I think I'll play that song again
The one called "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
And I'll wonder where you are tonight
I don't know, I just don't know
But I just can't go on dying like this
Can I see you tonight?
Baby, I'll act just like you want me to
Or is that just exactly what I'm not supposed to do?
I'll just stop in here, have a glass of beer
I'm just a fool I guess
But I just can't go on dying like this
Lord knows I just can't go on dying like this

A bucket full of money and a tree full of honey
But if you're gettin' no huggin'
No smoochin' or a muggin'
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'
If you're ridin' on a gravy train
Instead of walkin' down lovers lane
You can't make hey boy
'Cause you're goin' the wrong way boy
You gotta get a a little honey
It's better than money
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'
If they call you a big man
'Cause you got a lot of bottled land
If you're kin to the President
And ya help from the Government
But if you're gettin' no attention
You're better off on the pension
If you ain't lovin
Then you ain't livin'
If you got a string of long cards
And you're smokin' them 4 bid cigars
You ain't so well to do
Unless you get a little coochy-coo
It takes a little bit a smackin'
Or your lifes lackin'
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'

George Strait | I'll Always Remember You | /g/george+strait/ill+always+remember+you_20980776.html | It all started back in 1981.
Our life together had just begun.
I didn't know what my future would hold,
But you gave me a chance,
So I set out on the road.
It wasn't easy going then.
There were times I almost threw that old towel in,
But you kept callin' me back to the stage,
And I finally found my place in each and every face.
I'm not sayin' I'm through by any means.
There's still things that I want to say and do.
I hope you won't forget me, 'cause we've shared a lot dreams.
And just know that I'll always remember you.
When I first set out on the road, I figured
I had maybe five good years to sing my songs for you folks.
Well, it's goin' on thirty now
And I still love it just as much as I ever did.
When I hear that announcer say my name,
And I walk through those curtains
And see your smilin' faces,
My feet don't touch the ground again
Til I walk out and get back on that bus that got me here.
I don't know how many more years I've got left to do this,
But I figure a few.
I do want you to know, though,
That when I do walk off this stage for the last time,
And I'm all settled in, away from all this,
You won't be far away.
I'll still hear your screams and cheers in my mind.
And I'll always remember you.
I'm not sayin' I'm through by any means.
'Cause there's still things that I want to say and do.
I hope you won't forget me, 'cause we've shared a lot dreams.
And just know that I'll always remember you.
You've pulled me through some hard times.
Hope I've pulled you through a few.
And just know that I'll always remember you.

They brought us to the Autumn wind and left the tears behind
And who'd have dreamed that love could grow so endlessly
And you'd have meant so much to me, is it already time?

We'll hold each other close until it's time to go
And we believed we had forever on our side
Is it already time?

And we believed we had forever on our side
Is it already time?

And just look at me
Held under your spell
So helplessly
Yes I'm still your fool
Any fool can see
One look at you
And just look at me
I thought I'd be over you by now
But I guess it's too soon
The truth was so plain to see
Tonight when you walked in the room
I just couldn't control the tears
When I saw you again
My love is still as strong for you
As it's ever been
One look at you
And just look at me
Held under your spell
So helplessly
Yes I'm still your fool
Any fool can see
One look at you
And just look at me
I'm still your fool
Guess I'll always be
One look at you
And just look at me

George Strait | Looking Out My Window Through The Pain | /g/george+strait/looking+out+my+window+through+the+pain_20236226.html | I watched from my window as she slipped from the house
Once again she's leaving, but Lord, she's not to blame
This morning a memory phoned her and he's a habit she can't break
So 'til she returns, I'll wait for her,
Looking out my window through the pain
The devil drove the taxi that carried her away
And it hurts to know she's hung up on some guy from yesterday
Once again she's chasing memories and I'm losing everything
But I love her, so I'll wait for her,
Looking out my window through the pain
I'll pick up the pieces when he lets her down again
With love and understanding, I'll give her reasons this time to stay
And I'll close my eyes pretending maybe someday she will change
And I won't be left lonely,
Looking out my window through the pain
Yes, the devil drove the taxi that carried her away
And it hurts to know she's still hung up on some guy from yesterday
Once again she's chasing memories and I'm losing everything
But Lord I love her, so I'll wait for her,
Looking out my window through the pain

George Strait | Love Without End, Amen | /g/george+strait/love+without+end+amen_20059518.html | I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye.
Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why.
When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed.
And then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waited for the worst.
Chorus:
And he said, let me tell you a secret about a father's love,
A secret that my daddy said was just between us.
He said, daddies don't just love their children every now and then.
It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen.
When I became a father in the spring of '81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son.
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end,
I took my daddy's secret and I passed it on to him.
Repeat chorus:
Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates.
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake.
If they know half the things I've done, they'll never let me in.
And then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again.
Repeat chorus

George Strait | Maria | /g/george+strait/maria_20059556.html | Ther'es a soft rain tappin' on your window
There's a cool breeze blowin' off the bay
And a warm flame dancin' with our shadows
To music playin' far away
I never meant to stay an hour
I thought that I was passing through
Another town along the highway
I never meant to fall for you
[Chorus]
But I can't speak for you Maria
I only know the way I feel
When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothing left for dreams to steal
On a Bible by the mirror
The only treasures that we hold
The only secrets that we're keepin'
A watch, a chain, a cross of gold
[Chorus]
When the sunlight brings the mornin'
I can't tell you what I'll do
But I've a mind to take you with me
And I've got heart to stay with you
[Chorus]
When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothin' left for dreams to steal

Gonna leave you alone
And if you don't think I'm leavin' big momma
Just count the days I'm gone
You ain't gonna see me
You ain't gonna see my sweet face no more
Lord you gonna be wondering honey
Where in this world I've gone
Milk cow blues

George Strait | No One But You | /g/george+strait/no+one+but+you_20059509.html | I've been to all the ol' familiar places
At least a hundred of times since you've been gone
I've seen a lot of ol' familiar faces
But again tonight I'm goin' home alone
My heart won't let me move on one but you
My mind keeps tellin' me that just won't do
My arms keep reachin' out for someone new
But my heart won't let me love no one but you
I've told myself a million times it's over
You've gotta face the truth and let her go
Just when I think I've got it all together
Your memory walks around in side my soul
My heart won't let me move on one but you
My mind keeps tellin' me that just won't do
My arms keep reachin' out for someone new
But my heart won't let me love no one but you

George Strait | Nobody In His Right Mind Would've Left Her | /g/george+strait/nobody+in+his+right+mind+wouldve+left+her_20059637.html | I burn with desire
each time my heart fans the fire
To that old flame
that burns inside of me
She cried when I left her
now I try to forget her
Oh how foolish I was
to ever want to leave
[Chorus]
Because nobody in his right mind
would've left her
I had to be crazy to say good bye
Nobody in his right mind
could've left her
Even my heart was smart enough
to stay behind
I still carry her picture
I wish her well
with the new love
I know she's found by now
Each night finds me dreamin'
each day I spend thinkin'
How much I wish
she was still around
[Chorus]

George Strait | Oh Me, Oh My Sweet Baby | /g/george+strait/oh+me+oh+my+sweet+baby_20059407.html | Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye
Oh no one else could take her place in my life
Oh we had something good
So tell me why she would
Go and make me cry
Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye
I remember how she'd hold me
And say she'd stay forever true
Back when the future looked so rosy
But tonight it's lookin' mighty blue
Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye
Oh no one else could take her place in my life
Oh we had something good
So tell me why she would
Go and make me cry
Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye
Don't know what I didn't give her
That she gets from someone new
I only know how much I miss her
And wish my heart was only broke in two
Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye
Oh no one else could take her place in my life
Oh we had something good
So tell me why she would
Go and make me cry
Oh me, oh my
Why did she go and make me cry
Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye

George Strait | Oh, What A Perfect Day | /g/george+strait/oh+what+a+perfect+day_10130688.html | I woke up this mornin',
Peaked out my door:
It was rainin', cold an' grey.
It's my one day off: I was gonna play golf.
There goes the plans that I made.
Oh, but you won't hear me complain.
An' oh, what a perfect day for lovin' you.
When you're in my arms, I've got sunshine,
An' the sky's always blue.
Couldn't ask for better weather,
To do what I do:
Oh, what a perfect day for lovin' you.
So let's go grab a blanket,
An' a hot cup of coffee,
And sit out on the front porch and swing.
That look in your eyes is what's on my mind:
We don't have to say anything.
Let's just listen to that old tin roof sing.
An' oh, what a perfect day for lovin' you.
When you're in my arms, I've got sunshine,
An' the sky's always blue.
Couldn't ask for better weather,
To do what I do:
Oh, what a perfect day for lovin' you.
Oh, what a perfect day for lovin' you.
For lovin' you.

George Strait | Old Time Christmas | /g/george+strait/old+time+christmas_20233592.html | Tricycles, Bicycles
Candy canes and candlelight
Tryin' to stay awake all night
To catch a glimpse of Santa's reindeer
Mama bakin', sister makin'
Angels in the fallin' snow
Now it seems so long ago
I wish they all were here
[Chorus]
We'd have an old time Christmas
An old time Christmas
Just like the ones from yesterday
We'd leave the world behind us
Let the spirit find us
And have an old time Christmas
For old times sake
Friends singin', bells ringin'
Snowman standing in the yard
It's a living Christmas card
Captured in our hearts forever
Friends scatter, it's won't matter
The magic never melts away
It only takes a Christmas Day
To make it reappear
[Chorus]
So leave the world behind you
Let the spirit find you
And have an old time Christmas
For old times sake

George Strait | One Foot In Front Of The Other | /g/george+strait/one+foot+in+front+of+the+other_20713299.html | Well, love can be an uphill climb
I'm gonna meet a lot of resistance
It takes every ounce of strength we've got
If we're gonna go the distance
We can get discouraged and lose our courage
Worrying 'bout the daily grind
But life's a journey, no need to hurry
It's one day at a time
[Chorus]
One foot in front of the other
Take one step then take another
Keep on walkin', we're headed in the right direction
Puttin' one foot in front of the other
Little by little gets a whole lot further
Hittin' our stride, one foot in front of the other
What's down the road we can't say
And the road behind don't matter
But every mile along the way
Is just another mile together
Unconcerned about the twists and turns
We're takin' it nice and slow
Safe and sound, covering ground
Steady as she goes
[Chorus]
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow takes care of itself
We'll just keep on keepin' on
'Cause we ain't stumbled yet
One foot in front of the other
Take one step and then take another
Just a-walkin' and a-talkin' and a-movin' in the same direction
Just puttin' one foot in front of the other
Little by little gets a whole lot further
Hittin' our stride, one foot in front of the other
Well, just a-hittin' our stride
One foot in front of the other

George Strait | Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind | /g/george+strait/out+of+sight+out+of+mind_20852901.html | I've always heard people say it
But I guess I never fully understood it
I thought that they meant, you'd be easy to forget
But it's drivin' me crazy
[Chorus]
Out of sight out of mind
You opened my eyes, and now I can see
What you mean to me, I was so blind
Out of sight out of mind
You know it hurt when you left me
But I thought life would go on without you
That was easier said, can't get you outta my head
I don't know if I'll make it
[Chorus]
I was so blind
Out of sight out of mind

George Strait | Overnight Success | /g/george+strait/overnight+success_20059408.html | If it was in your mind to really cut me down
If it was in your plan to walk me in the ground
You left with him last night then daylight told the rest
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success
I couldn't blame someone who'd steal your love away
Because I know what I've lost and all he's gained
Sweetheart last night I know he got the very best
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success
Can you handle all you've won from breaking my pride
Will he stay with you and help you spend all the tears I've cried
Sweetheart I love you so and wish you happiness
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success

Gino Vannelli | A Little Bit Of Judas | /g/gino+vannelli/a+little+bit+of+judas_20246382.html | Well, you can wear those pajamas like those tibetan llamas all day
You can be the ascetic profound and prophetic in most every way
You can model your life after christ or suffice with simon peter
You can bathe in holy water bow to gideon or gautama
Or the pyramids of giza
You can wear your frock, your collar, or your shawl
But there's a little bit of judas in us all
You can keep your conscience swept clean
Your front lawn looking green
It's a keen neighborhood
You visit your sick mother weekly
Spring for charity freely like a moral man should
You brought two children in' the world a little boy, a little girl
You dutifully clothe and you feed them
Ou come straight home to your wife
You want no trouble in your life
You swear you'll never cheat on them
Now suddenly you're feeling so small
'cause there's a little bit of judas in us all
Well, excuse my digression
But I had the distinct impression she loved me so
So as not to try her conscience
She handed me a crock of nonsense while she bled me slow
Now her picture hangs on the wall to remind me
There's a little bit of judas in us all
A little bit of judas, a little bit of judas,
In us all

Gino Vannelli | A New Fix For '76 | /g/gino+vannelli/a+new+fix+for+76_20287730.html | And now that psychedelia's gone when the hell ya gonna face reality boy
We can't be that asinine to think that nineteen sixty nine was the way it
should be
There's a new moon with an old shine
So it's time to open your heart as wide as you see
Sing a new song of mobility
Get a new fix for seventy six
And now whether our hair's short or long
The issue is not really if it's right or wrong
But as long as it's clean .... right
I've gotta realize that our new found philosophies
Were only synthesized in the delusion of a flower child scene
There's a new star in an old space
So it's time you open your soul and set yourself free
Sing a new song of totality
Get a new fix for seventy six
So we thought we were cool and free
But then our heros blew their minds
With X and why's and LSD oh what a sin
Friend we gotta comprehend and we gotta learn from the past
And not dwell in it again and again and again
Hold one hand with time
And open your mind naturally
Sing a new song of vitality
Get a new fix for seventy six

Gino Vannelli | A Song And Dance | /g/gino+vannelli/a+song+and+dance_20499782.html | Well bring on the band
And the melody man
Let the mockingbirds sing along
It's a wonderful life
And the night is young
Well ladies and gents
The gala presents
A symphony in disguise
It's a wonderful thing
The clouds in your eyes
I'll do my song and dance for your this night
I'll sing you things you came to hear
I'll do my song and dance for you this night
I'd walk a mile to see you cheer
Well life is a song
That goes on and on
From pittsburgh to peru
It's a wonderful world
Here with you
I'll do my song and dance for your this night
I'll sing you things you came to hear
I'll do my song and dance for you this night
I'd walk a mile to see you cheer
This is my song and dance for you this night
I've walked a mile to see you cheer

Gino Vannelli | A Woman Crossed In Love | /g/gino+vannelli/a+woman+crossed+in+love_20344430.html | Can't stand this silence any more I'm dying
The words no sooner leave my lips
I'm out of your life in the beat of a heart
It was selfish it was cruel undeniably uncool
Have your way with me
Slap me twice across the face once for a stolen embrace
Once more for honesty
They say the truth will set you free
It's true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love
Call me shameless I don't care I love you
Desperate measures for desperate times
So much for the sway of a kiss
Darling here I am your ever-loving man
In his darkest hour
Had I known it meant goodbye I would have sooner lived a lie
Than live without you girl
They say the truth will set you free
It's true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love
So it's over like that pack you bags your coat and hat
End of story
Before I fade away hear me when I say
Baby I'm sorry
They say the truth will set you free
It's true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love

Gino Vannelli | Appaloosa | /g/gino+vannelli/appaloosa_20294452.html | Appaloosa, runnin' wild in the dead of the night
Appaloosa, you're the message of love and light
Apparitions, they grow wild in the plains of my mind
I get visions of the mountain that I must climb
Freedom ain't no illusion
A truth no money can buy
With your sweet absolution
I will follow my star
For the rest of my life
It goes on and on
Appaloosa, runnin' high in the heavens above
Appaloosa, you're the angel of God I love
Freedom ain't no deception
A truth no man can deny
With your love and direction
I will follow my star
For the rest of my life
It goes on and on
Appaloosa, Appaloosa, Appaloosa, Appaloosa
Appaloosa, runnin' wild in the wake of the dawn
Appaloosa, you're the spirit that turns me on
Appaloosa, Appaloosa, Appaloosa, Appaloosa

Gino Vannelli | Black And Blue | /g/gino+vannelli/black+and+blue_20499779.html | Feelin' light and low
Like nothin I've felt before
My woman is black, but now she's blue
And I'm wonderin just what to do
(the day is new)
A motor-city love affair
In the heat of the night
A woman dark and debonair
Too hard to resist
The moment you've kissed
Feelin' good, feelin' down
Repercussions of a heavy heart
(torn apart)
The summer night is hot
But soon turns cold
Like a winter's song
(when something's wrong)
Oh lady black! please don't be blue
Wash the midnight with the morning dew
(the day is new)

Gino Vannelli | Black Cars | /g/gino+vannelli/black+cars_20154431.html | Under the cover of night
She crawls into sight
Her skin is cold china white
She's a dark angel wearing dark glasses
Dark shadows under long false lashes
The night exposes the cracks
She wears her makeup like wax
To hide every scratch
'Cause she a dark angel riding dark horses
Sitting pretty in her dim lit covers... I say
Black cars look better in the shade
She smears her lipstick on right before she sleeps
For all those phantom lovers in her dreams
She smokes them french cigarettes
In cocktail gloves and a strapless dress
She cuts a perfect silhouette
But she's a dark angel wearing dark glasses
A fading beauty as the night time passes... I say
Black cars look better in the shade
Black cars look better in the shade

Gino Vannelli | Brother To Brother | /g/gino+vannelli/brother+to+brother_20161444.html | Brother to brother
Now we must join our hearts and hands
Yeah, if we love one another
We hold the key to the promised land
Think of all that we've been through
The shucks and jives and royal blues
Let us pray our time will come
When this world will live as one
Brother to brother
Now don't let the devil get you down
Oh 'cause it's bread and it's butter
That makes this whole damn world
Go round and round
Do you know where we went wrong
Tell me why the lines are drawn?
And let us break our bound'ries down
And live our lives on common ground
Oh mothers and fathers
Where will tomorrow's children be?
Oh brother, my brother
Let us live our lives in peace
Brother to brother
Brother to Brother

Gino Vannelli | Carnal Question | /g/gino+vannelli/carnal+question_20176277.html | If I came back just a cripple from the war
Would you hold me close just like you did before?
And what in the world would you do
If I could not make love to you?
The question is not whether the freedom we've got
Is worth the consequence of war
The question is just, can I hold you at dusk
Without you asking me for more?
A post-war eunuch
A lover that is lame
Some famous hero, and one shares his name
But where in the world would I go?
You're all that I love and all I know
The question is plain
Could our love still remain
Without its carnal ecstasy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And who in the world would I be
If I lose all of you and half of me?
Oh

Come eat my bread
Come drink the water of life
Enter my valley deep
Let the angels weep
Rejoice and touch the good earth tonight
And there was gingham and silk
Sage, honey and milk
Sweetmeats, spirits and wine
She bathed us in sweet balms of rose
Lit candles of clove
And lay her glisting body on mine
We stayed locked in love
In leaves of green and gold
She touched, I trembled, we kissed
I poured the contents of my aching heart and soul
Soon she woke up with the sun
Filled with seeds of worlds to come
Come to the well she said
Come and eat my bread
Come and drink the water of life

Gino Vannelli | Jehovah And All That Jazz | /g/gino+vannelli/jehovah+and+all+that+jazz_20499774.html | Hail to the shaman and his cardboard drum and the riffraff
Dancing in the sun
I sing for thee
Praise to the ugly and the dispossessed and the genius born of
The viper's nest
You have set me free
Hey, you cranks and you clowns with your heads hanging down
I bring good tidings to you
For all the talent that he has Jehovah don't play jazz like the devil do
See the rose sprung from the heap of dung
The shafthorse hot and heavy hung shamelessly
Check the star dust oozing in the mud on it pilgrimage to flesh and blood
Now ain't that you and me
Hey, you Shakespeares in rags little heretics and hags
To thine own self be true
Well, he may be beautiful and king but Jehovah he don't swing like the devil
Birdman, Birdman, what's the word, man
Into the night we go
Billie, Billie, knock me silly
Sing to me soft and low
Save me from losing my soul to a heaven as cold as ice
I'd sooner be a free man in hell than a prisoner in paradise
So I toot my toot for the man with roots
Hey, fifer on the E-flat flute play on, play on
All you sinners and you infidels you you artful madmen bound for hell
Come sing along
Come on, you potty-trained saints spouting' isms and ain'ts
Dig the poetry my man
Well all deference to his throne
Gabriel he don't play no saxophone like Coltrane can
Now, save me from losing my soul to a heaven as cold as ice
I'd sooner be a free man in hell than a prisoner in paradise
I'd sooner catch fire than kill my desire
Hail to the shaman and his cardboard drum and the riffraff
Dancing in the sun
I sing for you
For all the talent he has Jehovah don't play jazz like the devil do
Yeah, the devil do
Must admit he do
Ah, da devil do
Birdman, Birdman, what's the word, man
Into the night we go
Billie, Billie, knock me silly
Sing to me soft and low
Foll all the talent that he has Jehovah don't play no jazz ....
