See her there at the table watch her tare at the label. From the bottle that she's just drank dry. In her mind there's a burning it took a long time that she's learning.
You are my special angel sent from up above. The Lord smiled down on me and sent an angel to love. You are my special angel right from paradise. I know that you're an angel heaven is in your eyes.
You followed me to Texas. You followed me to Utah. We didn't find it there, so we moved on. . Then you went with me to Alabama. Things looked good in Birmingham.
Cause your love takes good care of me yes your love takes good care of me. And when the rain falls and the wind blows and the storm is on the sea. I'll be safe your love takes good care of me.
I've searched so long for love and understanding. Someone to share my dreams as I grow old. And now that I found you and I have my arms around you. I don't ever intend to let you go.
Love me and make it all better come back and ease the pain. Kiss away these burning tears say you love me again. . I was wrong accusing you of unfaithfulness.
Love is no excuse for what we're doing. For we both know that's two hearts could break. We tell ourselves it's cause we love each other. But love is no excuse for us to make.
I can see a long line of cars with their headlights on. I can see kinfolks crying 'cause somebody's gone. Then they gather around as they let the sinner men down.
You look so lovely lying there with dreamland's grin up on your face. Your golden curls in disarray upon your starched white pillow case. The soft blue satin covers pulled up tight around your lovely throat.
Slowly very slowly you're fading away. And little parts about you I'm forgetting each day. So if I cry when I see you don't think I'm still your fool.
So many times I told you I was leavin'. And so many times how I tried. 'Cause sayin' you're leavin's so much easier. Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye. .
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend?. What have I done, that's made you so different and cold?. Sometimes, I wonder if you'll be contented again.
I can't seem to lose a key that fits her door. It's late and all the barrooms are closing. I start walking down the street search my car. And temptation overtakes me when my conscience says go home.
There's a picture that I carry one. We made some time ago. When they ask who's in the picture with me. I say, just someone I used to know. . Just someone I used to spend some time with.
You started a flame I can't drown then told me you see me around. All I have to do is get a glimpse of you and then. That's just enough to start me dreamin' again.
Just a little while ago my heart was living and my teardrops had forgotten how to flow. Cause to me all her love she had been giving but I died inside a little while ago.
You're leavin' and Lord knows I'm grievin' cause you sure picked the bad train to ride. He'll drop you like a stone when the joy is all gone from the joyride he's takin' you on.
We both know how we're hurting another and both of our worlds may soon shatter. In the end we might destroy each other but right now it just doesn't seem to matter.
Yes I know she's the life of the party and without her things here would die. Oh but don't be fooled by her laugter she has her sad times she knows how to cry.
If anything I am or hope to be. If any compliments are paid to me. If any praises I receive for anything that I achieve. I know they rightfully belong to you.
