Once I lived a life of wine and roses. And I drank a lot back then for one concern. Success for me lay just around the corner. I thought my social friends would help me make the turn.
(I see Jesus standing waiting for me). Once a man named Steven preached about the Lord. Folks were saved then folks were healed as they heard his word.
Last night I dreamed an angel came he took my hand he called my name. He bid me look the upward way, I saw a man... I heard him say. He said if I'd be lifted up I'll draw all men to me.
How many arms have held you and hated to let you go. How many how many I wonder but I really don't want to know. How many lips have kissed you and set your soul aglow.
One morning as I rambled down by the sea shore. The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar. I heard of fair maiden make a pitiful sound. It sounded so lonesome in the waters around.

In my dreams an old friend came to see you. Right from the start he was the stealing kind. You'll never know how much it hurt me darling. The night you left his loving on your mind.

When lights are low and we're together a rain or snow who minds the weather. I have you and that's enough for me. Don't care if fortune ever finds me don't need of who's or friends around me.
Just like old times you were here last night. And gone was my worry and care. When I awoke I knew then that I. had dreamed of an old love affair. . I was alone in the darkness my dear.
It don't hurt anymore, all my teardrops are dried. No more walkin' the floor, with that burnin' inside. Just to think it could be, time has opened the door.
One heart too many I have broken love dreams that faded away. Too many teardrops have fallen too many vows cast aside. Soft wedding bells should be ringing for us in the chapel tonight.
My love has gone my pride has gone I care no more. My heart is tired from loving you I care no more. I don't regret the day we met when love was there.
