Seven years with the wrong woman is more than a man can stand. Seven years with the wrong woman will wreck most any good men. Seven years with the wrong woman it's the same in the mountain or dale.
Once I had a secret love that lived within the heart of me. All too soon my secret love became impatient to be free. . So I told a friendly star the way that dreamers often do.
When I was a young man courtin' the girls. I played me a waiting game. If a maid refused me with tossing curls. I let the old earth take a couple of whirls.
There are stars in the southern sky southward as you go. There is moonlight and moss in the trees down the seven bridges road. . Now I have loved you like a baby like some lonesome child.
You know I peeked in to say goodnight,. When I heard my child in prayer.. She said, "And for me some scarlet ribbons,. Scarlet ribbons for my hair.". .
if i had my life to live over id still do the same things i new. id still love to roam to a place i call home where happiness never ends.
Say goodnight little one save some fun for tomorrow. Wave a bye bye to your light for your light is sleepy too. . For your toys are in bed now they're resting and dreaming.
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.
Dance with me. Dance with me. . You can dance every dance. With the guy who gives you the eye. Let him hold you tight. You can smile every smile. For the man who held your hand.
Two happy people on a Greyhound bus. We came here looking for a life for us. But the nightlife is her new life and the only thing I've found. Is San Francisco is a lonely town.
Have you heard there's a place called the Young Land. Where a kiss is worth more than pure gold. Lovers walkin' in hand in search of this land. Where true love will never grow old.
Your cheatin' heart will make you weep. You'll try and try and try to sleep. But sleep won't come the whole night through. Your cheatin' heart will tell on you.
(You've made up for everything). . You are the trip to the land that was too far away. The violin I never could play. The song in my heart that I never could sing.
You're my everything underneath the sun. You're my everything grow up into one. You're my only dream, my only real reality. You're my idea of a perfect personality.
You're nobody till somebody loves you. You're nobody till somebody cares. You may be king you may posses the world and its gold. But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growing old.
You're the only star in my blue heaven. And you're shining just for me. You're the only star in my blue heaven. And in dreams your face I see. . You're the guiding light that brightens up the night.
You'd better stop tellin' lies about me. For I'm gonna tell the truth about you. Now you pretend you're an angel but, baby, if that's true. Someone must have clipped your wings before I met you.
You'll never know just how much I miss you. You'll never know just how much I care. And if I tried I still couldn't hide my love for you. You ought to know for Heaven I told you so a million or more times.
Though I only see you now and then. It's just enough to break my heart again. Cause you still got a hold on me. It hurts to ask how you've been. And walk away from you like some old friend.
