When the dews of the evening are falling. Glistening on the flowers loved so well. Then my heart to thee is calling. From my place within the dell. . My heart, oh sweet, is there forever.
All day I've faced a barren waste. Without the taste of water, cool water. Old Dan and I with throats burned dry. And souls that cry for water. Cool, clear, water.
I rode into Tucson three hours ago for supplies and a short friendly game. Of poker while Smitty put some new shoes on old Dan before he goes lame. I sat in a game at the Miner's Saloon soon I had doubled my stake.
[Chorus: ]. Clara, Clara, where can you be. Clara, Clara, come back to me. I love you honestly. Think of you constantly. . Clara, come back to me. Friends ask about you.
We could always find tomorrow when a problem came our way. We could reach back in a storehouse full of love. Now we can't find tomorrow or run back to yesterday.
If this world should tumble down. And we'd go spinning all around. Find ourselves somewhere in space. I wonder if I'd find my place. Would be beside you or would I be here.
Christmastime's a-commin'. Christmastime's a-commin'. Christmastime's a-commin'. And I know I'm goin' home. . Snowflake's a-fallin'. My old home's callin'.
I guess I'll take a walk tonight. I know that I can't sleep. And I won't go to bed at all. I'll just lay there and weep. Instead, I'll make our favorite spot.
May the children of the world, every boy and every girl. Have a bigger and better Christmas day. For they all need a part in somebody's heart. Since Christmas is for kids, anyway.
(kisses, kisses, kisses, kisses, kisses,). . Christmas time is almost here and you're not here with me. Smilin' shoppers everywhere, I'm lonely as can be.
(sleigh bells, sleigh bells, sleigh bells, sleigh bells,). . Sleigh bells ringin' in the lane. Christmas time is here again. Boys and girls are dancin' round.
Chapel bells chapel bells. Chapel bells a message of love you tell chapel bells ring sweetly tonight. All is well echo the chapel bells neath the spell of the moon's golden light.
Did you ever find yourself out chasin' rainbows. When that pot of gold was right there in your arms. Did you ever take the woman you love for granted.
Some will say we have no call. To throw away such a true love. And some no doubt will blame it all. On the losing out to some new love. . But after all is said and done.
Change the dial, turn off that song. It reminds me of somethin' I've done. Somethin' so wrong. . Once I had a real true love. And she was good to me. I cheated and she found out.
From where I stand I can see all the lights in the city. For one man to love one woman so much it's a pity. From where I stand I can see the cantina she goes to.
Can I help it that I fell in love with you. Can I help it that you broke my heart in two. How can I control the tears that ache to fall. When I know that I'll never matter to you at all.
Wise men say only fools rush in. But I can't help falling in love with you. Shall I stay would it be a sin. If I can't help falling in love with you. Like a river flows.
When you're all alone and blue. And you don't know what to do. Call me up and I'll come calling on you. When you're all alone at home. And no one calls you on the phone.
Down in Jamaica where the soft winds blow. I took a trip it was a long time ago. From distant shores the music gently played. And I was hypnotized by a dark skinned girl that danced and whirled.
