Diamonds from a willow tree. Music from the birds and bees. Perfume from a flower bed. And clouds of pillows for my head. . Velvet grass and flutterbys.
Dear me. I'm writing this letter to try and tell myself. It's time for me to feel better. . Dear me how could I turn away when he needed me?. Now all that's left to say is, dear me oh, what have I done?.
If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye. It's no secret you'll feel better if you cry. When waking from a bad dream don't you sometimes think it's real?.
Summertime came to Sycamore Street. They were seventeen and crazy from the heat. Full moon filled the Mississippi sky. That was their first time. . Silhouettes danced on the living room wall.
Betty walked in with a red dress on. Charlie's first glance, he was fallin' in love. He didn't have to say what he felt that day. . So Charlie promised Betty she had his heart.
I just love the way you kiss. When I hold you just like this. Ooo baby what you do. When I make love to you. . Mmm I love to watch your eyes. And listen to your sighs.
By the time I get to Phoenix he'll be risin'. He'll find the note I left hangin' on his door. He'll laugh when he reads the part that says I'm leavin'.
There's so much breakin' up. Folks who won't fall in love. Put up shelves, guard themselves. Build walls. . And it makes me cry sometimes. 'Cause people live lonely lives.
Break it to me gently, let me down the easy way. Make me feel that you still love me if it's just, if it's just for one more day. Break it to me gently so my tears, my tears won't fall too fast.
Well, I finally worked my way up the ladder. Got a whole lot of money but that don't matter. 'Cause spring has sprung and we all know what that means.
Somewhere between midnight and tomorrow. You'll want to be free of your constant sorrow. I'll offer a bed of roses for your bed of nails. You'll be drawn to my perfume, but the whiskey will prevail.
Who do you think you are. What do you think this is. A game you can play tryin' to steal him away. Well I don't need a heartache like this. . Well don't think I don't go through hell.
Who do you think you are. What do you think this is. A game you can play tryin' to steal him away. Well I don't need a heartache like this. . Well don't think I don't go through hell.
With a gentle hand he sweeps a strand of hair back from my eyes. And sees me cry. And with a tenderness he'll press his lips to mine. And for a while he holds me tight.
Every man needs a reason. to get up in the morning and shave. He needs an incentive. and not just a promotion. with more pay. he needs someone to stand by him.
I used to do you like this, do you like that. This way, that-a way anyway. But the right way was okay, baby. . Oh, I guess you had to leave before I could see.
Well, it finally clearing and it's been one hell of a storm. I don't know what I'm feeling but I'm not feeling numb anymore. After you left me I layed down my heart and I died inside.
Back here the leaves are turning. On me just like you. And the change is full of color. And it's anything but blue. . I thought that I'd stop living. Without you here to hold.
Lookin' at the weatherman on the ten o'clock news. He says that there's another cold front movin' through. A cold rain's fallin' and it's turnin' to snow.
Time. Won't ease my memory. It's killing me now. And Lord, how I need him here. Just to feel him near. And hear him breathin'. . Still. The night goes on and on.
