To Canaan's land, I'm on my way. where the soul of man never dies. and my darkest nights will turn to day. where the soul of man never dies. . And dear friend there will be no sad farewell's.
When my mornin' comes around, no one else will be there. so I won't have to worry about what I'm supposed to say. and I alone will know that I climbed that great big mountain.
Look at you, look at me. My heart breaks, as I read our sad story. . Never thought that I'd be. Here with you wishing I was free. I never dreamed today would come.
In a lonely room, waiting for the night to fall. I hear your voice in every whippoorwill that calls. and it takes me back to a better place and a sweeter time.
The wheels of love turn around and around. Keep on rolling till you've found. the perfect partner, somebody just right. to have and hold every day and every night.
If anyone could find the joy. That true love brings a girl and boy. We could, we could you and I. . If anyone could ever say. Their true love was here to stay.
I am a poor wayfarin' stranger. Travelling through this world of woe. And there's no sickness, toil or danger. in that bright land to which I go. . I'm going there to see my father.
Living in the wasteland of the free.... . We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines. and their speech is growing increasingly unkind. They say they are Christ's disciples.
I'm walkin' home tonight. The streets are glowing 'neath the pale moonlight. I look around, there's not a soul in sight. and I'm walkin' home. Once again I hear my mother's voice.
By a fountain back in Rome I fell in love with you. In a small cafe in Athens you said you loved me too. And it was April in Paris when I first held you close to me.
Last night I went to sleep I thought the world was fine. The day had been a perfect day and you were mine. But somewhere between dusk and dawn the earth tumbled in twirl.
(Wish me a rainbow and wish me the stars) all this you can give me wherever you are. And dreams for my pillow and stars for my eyes. And the masquerade ball where our love wins first prize.
I burned the toast again today my coffee was too strong. I didn't hear that clock alarm and so I slept too long. I packed myself the same old lunch the way I always do.
Walk through this world with me go where I go. Share all my dreams with me I need you so. In life we search some of us find I've looked for you a long long time.
Dixie was a lady and a Rodeo Queen Billy was her lover ah you know what I mean. Billy rode the bulls in the big rodeo Dixie loved her man and she told him so.
I search for meaning in a life. Confusing me for somebody else. It must not like. And the police wonder. Who shot the butler?. It is a mystery. Of the first degree.
Some folks say that a nigger won't steal.. Way down yonder in the corn field.. But I caught one with a shovel and a hoe.. Way down yonder in the corn field..
Till you I never knew what love could mean. You taught this heart of mine so many things. I saw another side I'd never seen and never dreamed of. I didn't realize what it could do all the feelings I'd be going through.
He walked up to me at the honky tonk. Asked me how I'd been since he'd been gone. And had I found the strength to carry on. He hoped that I could forgive and forget.
You keep trying to talk me into love. You sure have a way with words when it comes to us. But before we get carried away. Let's get something straight.
