Born in the heat of the desert my mother died giving me life. Deprived of the love of a father blamed for the loss of his wife. You know Lord I've been in a prison for something that I've never done.
You can talk me out of anything. And I'll be satisfied with what you do. Just remember that our love's a precious thing. And don't try to talk me out of loving you.
All your life you've lived a sinner the bright way you've never trod. You're drifting away, you're drifting away. When you come to cross the river and you haven't met with God.
On and on she'll walk this earth. Her face like a beautiful flower. But all alone is a marble stone. You'll find her name written there. . Her new voice rings where the Angels sing.
I'll leave you now if you don't want me. I'll leave you anytime you say. But when I'm gone, no more to see you. You won't be satisfied that way. . I tried to tell you how I loved you.
When you live in the country. Everybody is your neighbor. On this one thing you can rely. . They'll all come to see you. And never, ever leave you. Sayin' you all come to see us by and by.
May each moment I live be yours love may the best I can give be yours love. And from this moment on may a love that is strong and lives on and on be yours love.
Today I burned your old love letters I burned them slowly one by one. And before I'd light the flame I'd read them to try and find the wrongs I've done.
As soon as you found out that he was out of town. You thought that just for old time sake you could come around. One look in your eye tells me that you came to bring shame into our home.
I wish you only knew all the days I've made it through. Because of you and your sweet love. I wish that I could count the times peace and comfort filled my mind.
Some love makes you cry. Some loves say goodbye. Some love stays inside your heart for life. . Once love takes you in. Lets you feel again. Gets beneath your skin it seems so right.
There are only so many tears you can cry. Till your heart stops breaking. Only so many doors you can try. Till you finally find your way. . Out of the dark, into the light.
One moment in the wink of an eye. There was nothing I could say. A strong feeling started up inside. I knew time would not erase away. . For you, oh. My heart is brave, my time is free.
You decide. What you need. And then you let me know. I'll be waiting here until you call. . Take your time. Till you find. Which way your heart must go.
I went home for Christmas to the house that I grew up in. Going back was something after all these years. I drove down Monterey street and felt a little sadness.
Your lips are saying goodbye you tell me not to cry. But you can't stop my heart from breaking. I'll play the rules of the game I'll learn to hide the pain.
I love to say your name even when you're not around. I just love the way it sounds it's music to me. I love to dream of you even when I'm not asleep. Baby your love just keeps gettin' deeper in me.
