I'm making flowers out of paper. While darkness takes the afternoon. I know that they won't last forever. But real ones fade away too soon. . I still cry sometimes when I remember you.
When I reach to hold you I'll still be alone. When I hear the ringing of the telephone. I'll think it is you It will not be true. . I know why the river runs.
As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playin'. The tune about the wild side of life. As I listen to the words you are sayin'. It brings memories when I was a trustful wife.
How can I keep from singing?. My life goes on in endless song. I hear the music ringing. It find an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing?. . I won't be bored.
I, I, I've got a feelin'. And I'm gonna hold you tonight. I, I, I've been dreamin'. Of holding your sweet body next to mine. . Oh baby, it's sure been a long time comin'.
I can almost read your mind. It's running fast out of control. You're afraid of what you'll find. If you get too close. . You imagine I don't care. You see walls that just aren't there.
I'd rather stay home and cry over you. Than to run around all over town with somebody new. I'd rather stay home, forgotten and blue. Than to look for fun with anyone but you.
You said that you'd be happy. With a baby on your knee. But here I sat with him in my arms. An' you're slippin' around on me. . You thought that you were being wise.
Tomorrow was to be my wedding day. But I gave my wedding dress away. Another will be holding my bouquet. So I gave my wedding dress away. . My baby sister wanted him.
I can't stop loving you. So I've made up my mind. To live in memory of old lonesome times. I can't stop wanting you. It's useless to say. So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday.
I need something like morphine only better. I need something like a kiss that lasts forever. I need something like money that will not burn. I need something and I need more than I can earn.
