I was just standing. Alone in this room. Surrounded by memories. We stopped making too soon. Oh I was just standing. I was just standing. Alone in this room.
If teardrops were diamonds. And only mine were used. They could pave every highway. Coast to coast. . And not be close to through. If teardrops were diamonds.
Well, I was rollin' down the road. In some cold blue steel,. I had a blues man in back,. And a beautician at the wheel.. . We going downtown. In the middle of the night.
I think that I. Will just take a memory. A small one that I know. Real well, then go. . What I'll take is all. The happy thoughts I can recall. But I know there won't be much.
I'll make believe. That the sight of her in my head's seldom seen. And then insist. That I can't still taste the inside of her kiss. With luck and time.
Chorus:. I'll go back to her where I'm wanted. And maybe I can make up for the wrong. In spite of all I've done she still wants me. So I'll go back to her where I belong..
I'll be home for Christmas. Just you wait and see. There'll be snow and mistletoe. And presents 'neath the tree. . Christmas Eve will find me. Where the love light gleams.
I watch as you take off your clothes. And slip under the sheets. Then I turn and kick the boots off my feet. I pull you close without a word. 'Cause there's no need to speak.
I wouldn't put it past me. I wouldn't press my luck. If I were you I don't believe. I'd take that chance with love. . A big chance you'll be taking. The wrong odds is what you're staking us on.
Here I sit all alone. Just a wonderin' why. You must have slipped out. While I was high. I know just how it feels. And I'm not blamin' you. Cause if I had to choice.
I was there. I was there. When love crashed and burned. I was there. . I was there when love came around with sweet, warm kisses. I was there when it burned into desire.
I want you to want me. I need you to need me. I'd love you to love me. I'm beggin' you to beg me. . I want you to want me. I need you to need me. I'd love you to love me.
I wanna love again. Feel young again. The way we did when it was true. Go back before I cried. Or ever tried. To understand life without you. I wanna hold your hand and us pretend We're starting out brand new.
When I was a boy my family would travel. Inta' Western Kentucky where my parents were born. To a lost little town there that's often remembered. So many times that my memory drew warn.
I sang Dixie as he died. People just walked on by as I cried. The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride. So I sang Dixie as he died. . He said way down yonder in the land of cotton.
Chorus:. I hear you knockin'. I hear you callin'. I hear you every time you say my name. But it's no use, baby. Your calling is all in vain. . No use you crying.
Honey you sure do it well. But I don't need it done. I know if I did it with you. It'd be a whole lot of fun. I'll send my regrets. Oh but I won't hedge my bets.
I've had to buy back damn near everything I own. From a little man whose name is Saul. And has a lot of money to loan. I drive a beat up '67 Chevrolet.
Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine. I don't care if the bells don't chime. Just as long as you love me. And I don't care if the tops don't spin.
