Young lonesome soldier. Sleeping in the rain. Far from home. Half a child. Half a hero. Tossed by the times. Caught in the winds. Dream, lonesome soldier.
What have I got to do to make you love me?. What have I got to do to make you care?. What do I do when lightning strikes me?. And to wake to find that you're not there.
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing, ring-ting tingle-ing, too,. Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.. . Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "Yoo hoo".
Someone to hold me tight. That would be very nice. Someone to love me right. That would be very nice. Someone to understand each little dream in me. Someone to take my hand and be a team with me.
Quiet nights of quiet stars. Quiet cords from my guitar. Floating on the silence that surrounds us. . Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams. Quiet walks by quiet streams.
I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way. Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday. I called on dear old Santa Claus. To see what I could see.
Shadows slowly creeping down the prairie trail. Everything is sleeping - ah, but the nightingale. . Moon will soon be climbing in the purple sky. Night winds all a-humming this tender lullaby..
When God gave out rhythm. Sure was good to you. You can add, subtract, multiply and divide by two. . I know today's your birthday and I did not buy no rose.
I could show the world how to smile. I could be glad all of the while. I could change the grey skies to blues. If I had you. I could leave the old days behind.
I got a guy who's always late. Every time we have a date. But I love him. Yes I love him. . I am going to walk right up to his gate. To see if I can get it straight.
Shaking like a leaf on a tree. That's coming loose from the stem. Shaking like a leaf on a tree. Because I'm coming loose from my man. . I'm like a weeping willow.
Let me be your weeping willow tree. Surround you with my long limbs. My dear, let me grow in the shade. In the sands by the bank of your river. Let I drink from your streams.
It begins to tell. 'Round midnight, midnight. I do pretty well, till after sundown. Suppertime I'm feelin' sad. But it really gets bad. 'Round midnight.
I hate to see that evening sun go down. I hate to see that evening sun go down. Cause my baby, he's gone left this town. . Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today.
Nobody's heart belongs to me. Hiegh ho, who cares. Nobody writes his songs for me. No one belongs to me. . That's the least of my cares. I may be sad at times.
If you could see me now, you'd know how blue I've been. One look is all you'd need to see the mood I'm in.. Perhaps then you'd realize I'm still in love with you..
Dearest love don't worry. They got nothin' on me. And I'll be out in a day or two. Oh and darlin, I love you. . I'll make my great escape. Don't you worry dear.
I lost my mind in Texas. Fell in love, oh tell me what's the difference. I gave my heart to someone else. Should've kept a part for myself. . 'Cause now in hell I am.
Hey, restless wanderer. Where you goin' to now. Don't you ever. Get tired of runnin' around. You make new friendships. But you don't make them deep. For if they get too close to you.
Gonna shine my shoes. And go out on the town. Gonna shine my shoes. And go out on the town. Gonna shine my shoes. I'm tellin' you the truth. I'm gonna let my heart out.
