Your memory, what was it doin' in Miami. I thought I'd left it far behind me. But I was wrong. 'Cause it came along. Your memory, how come it followed me to Denver.
A TRUE COUNTRY GENT CHET WAS ONE OF A KIND. HE FOUND A LONG TIME AGO WHAT WE'RE ALL STILL TRYING TO FIND. HE WAS THE MAN A SIX STRING SUPER STAR. EVERYBODY'S MISTER GUITAR.
The competition's getting tough. Good enough ain't good enough. Lately I've been workin' way too hard. . Go ahead and take my hand. Forget about the rainbow's end.
Well I've heard it said. The grass is always greener. We want what we can't have. Or so it seems. . When I looked at you. The world never looked any sweeter.
When you told me that you loved me, I believed every single word you said. Then you showed me you didn't mean it, you loved some else instead.. I know you've got a right to find someone new.
I look out my window to wish upon my star. And dig out those old memories that's hidden in my heart. But the stars ain't coming out tonight, dark clouds win again.
We've been friends for a long long time. You tell me your secrets and I tell you mine. She's left you all alone and you feel like no one cares. But I have never failed you I've always been there.
There's a light that I leave on. It's just an illusion 'cause there's no one at home. It shines just like it used to. When I could come home to you. .
Here I am holding to your memory. Like it was made of purest gold. That old flame still burns within me. In my heart and in my soul. . I can't keep from thinking of you.
The telephone rings, I grab all my things. And I take off down the street. The old man on the corner must have started kind of early. Tryin to rake up something to eat.
I didn't cheat, I didn't lie. So her leaving took me by surprise. Just a note on the table. Saying we're through. . At first I went crazy, so it took me sometime.
I remember back when I was just a kid. A little schoolyard fight. And I'd come running home again. I'm not really sure what I wanted her to do. But my Momma's words would comfort me I knew.
Two teardrops were floatin' down the river. One teardrop said to the other. I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman in love. I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry.
Jimmy was a shadow the youngest of three boys. How he longed to feel the light. Jimmy's older brothers sure could make some noise. So he became the quiet type.
I couldn't even count the times. I've had to look away. So you wouldn't see my teardrops fall. Like a river down my face. I'd trade you places if I could.
Christmas what a wonderful time of year. But it can also be a dark and lonely time. And if you don't spend it with those you truly love. Well it can feel just like any other day.
I reached out my arms and I touched you. With soft words I whispered your name. I held your love on the tips of my fingers. But that was as close as I came.
Couple of days isn't a very long time. Why can't I just walk away, I used to be good at goodbyes,. Out on the water, under the stars,. I let the moonlight play a trick on my heart.
For so long I was looking. For a reason to make living worthwhile. I found that reason. When I first saw you smile. There was no question you were the answer.
I live living the land of the free. and I like how it feels when you lean on me. Ever since you wondered into my back yard. I've dropped my resistance and lowered my guard.
