My friends think I'm crazy and maybe it's true. 'Cause I'll go on and love you this way. Though I have discovered that you love another. And hardly remember my name.
He owned a hotel on Jersey shore. She made her living seeing the sailors door to door. He was a small Hawaiian with a crooked smile. But he made her eyes light up like the heavens on the 4th of July.
Take this heart of mine out the winter. And let the new life of Springtime come rest at our door. May the soul of my brother never bow to the wicked. And the hearts of our children waltz together once more.
She sleeps alone in the warm nights of Memphis. Where the Peabody Hotel meets the velveteen sky. She sings like the waves in the cool Mississippi. That brought her from St. Paul in '75.
She's a brown skin girl from El Paso City. He's a sweet tempered soldier from Fort Bliss. They ran off one July evening. All concerned said this one is anyone's guess.
Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair. She made the Woolworth counter shine. And Eddie was a sweet romancer and a darn good dancer. And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime.
Any given day, there's a jet flying somewhere. Oh, we bought a ticket and vanished in the sky. And how was I to know he was leaving in the morning. I never heard him go and then he never said goodbye.
Well, I work this corner from eleven to five. The hands get cold around midnight. You're askin' me if I've got the time, well I don't know. But you're wastin' mine tonight.
Now, I work this corner from eleven to five. And the hands get cold around midnight. And you askin' me if I've got the time. Well, I don't know but you're wastin' mine tonight.
Your phone call took my by surprise. Gee, it's been a long, long time. Since those hot and humid Texas nights. When we went swimm'n in the tide. . Corpus Christi seems so far away.
When I wake in the night and find that I'm dreaming. You're the first thought in mind. Love's a fair-weather friend when you're lonely. You are my summer state of mind.
I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain. These Delta towns wear satin gowns. In a high beamed frame. . Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio.
There's a star in Heaven's sky. Always shining bright. It's just a tear in an Angel's eye. A gentle guiding light. . Let it shine on me. Let it show the way.
When you are leaving the harbor. Do you cry out to the shore?. Do you bless the wave of the ocean. Do you call your vessel home?. . And as you leave the safest harbor.
I'm working on a morning flight to anywhere but here. I'm watching this evening fire burn away my tears. All my life I've left my troubles by the door.
By the time I get to Phoenix. Was the last song on your mind the day you left. Then you woke up in Nogales. With Tequila with her name across your chest.
1 2 3 4. . If I promise not to cry. Will you look me in the eye. And tell me that you've known me?. I was your late, your lonely child. I am enhanced by all you've shown me.
An urban light hit's a bartender's smile. 'Cause it's closin' time again. Last call rang out such a long time ago. In the heart of Julie Anne. . Now she waits inside this midnight glow.
You pace the pool and talk about it. And I read my book and think about it. You've walked on water. As I'm turning the page. . You say, "What's the intrigue here.
The telephone is ringin' in the middle of the night. And I pull the bed clothes higher. Will it stop calling out if I turn on the light?. I'm afraid of these shadows here.
