As I sit here alone and in silence reliving each day of the past. I'm searching my life for one answer how things went so wrong so fast. Don't tell me that it is all over for if I was wrong in the past.
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean. The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn green. The snowbird sings the songs he always sings. And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring.
Monday's promise is Tuesday's lie. Saturday's party is Sunday's fight. Somethin's wrong with you and I. Love's gone wrong that used to be right. . And I can feel it slippin' away.
Though the door was open wide, not a sound came from inside. So I looked in, saw two shadows on the wall. One was new and strange to me, one my sweetheart dear to me.
Seven lonely days make one lonely week. Seven lonely nights make one lonely me. Ever since the time you told me we were through. Seven lonely days I've cried and cried for you.
Once we were so happy, you were my very own. But then you bought that guitar and you ruined our happy home. You told me that you're gonna pick, you're gonna be a star.
I know you'll never loved me the way I love you. And I'll always be second best to you. But in my heart I'd rather have just part of you. Than all of someone else for there's no one else like you.
I know you're out there in her arms again tonight. Just because I'm home alone don't make it right. So let me leave this thought with you before you kiss her once again.
How many times have you heard someone say. If I had his money I could do things my way?. But little they know that is so hard to find. One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
You've heard that old story ever since time began that money is root of all evil. Well let me tell you mine it's much older than time for the root of all evil is a man.
Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on. I've got a notion, you'll go to the ocean alone. I've got a baby in Tennessee. Who's long been a waitin' for little ole me.
Please release me, let me go. I don't love you anymore. To live together is a sin. Release and let me love again. . I have found a new love dear. And I'll always want him near.
There oughta be a law against the runnin' around and leavin' me home at night. I tried everything that I know how to get you to treat me right. Why in the world did you marry me I just don't understand.
You say our love is over that's right I found another you say you're going away. Put it off until tomorrow oh oh you've hurt me enough today. You've hurt me enough today I can't believe the words you say.
You've promised you would be true to me but we both know you could never be. You've been a puttin' me on since the day we met. Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get.
You love her I know but I won't let you go I just won't step by all the way. Cause you're married to me and I won't set you free. Possession is nine-tenths of the law so they say.
I knew this morning as soon as the phone rang. That crazy woman had hurt you again. That's why I told you come on over. The coffee's warm and so are my arms.
Be sure before you say I love you that no other love you share. I love too deep to have your thanks dear am I just a passing love affair. Don't feel my hopes and watch them tumble tell me how much you really care.
Don't build for me paper mansions that only stand until you've gone. You paint the nicest futures of anyone I know. You always leave me holding on to pretty words that glow.
Over and over you held me in your arms over and over you told me of my charms. Over and over I thought heaven's gift was mine. You swore that you would never leave me but too late I find.
