(It's so good to touch the green green grass of home). The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train. And there to meet me is my mama and my papa.
Since you're gone the sun, the moon, the stars in the sky. know the reason why I cry. Love divine once was mine now you're gone. . Since you're gone my heart my lips my tear dimmed eyes.
Have you ever heard a love song that you didn't understand. For you've met her in a teahouse on the Island of Japan. And have you ever traveled over many thousand miles.
Say something say something don't keep me in the dark. What happened what happened what made us drift apart. Why did I lose the only love I'll ever know.
Far across deep blue waters lives an old German's daughter. On the banks of the old River Rhine. Where I loved her and left her but I can't forget her I miss my pretty Fraulein.
Don't look so sad, I know it's over. But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning. Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together. There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning.
Far away places with strange sound and names far away over the sea. Those far away places with the strange sound and names are calling calling me. Go into China or maybe Siam I wanna see for myself.
Looking back on the days when I was scufflin' for a buck. Not overly concerned with life and love. I was always feelin' sorry for myself and my bad luck.
Why does the sun go on shining?. Why does the sea rush to shore?. Don't they know it's the end of the world. For you don't love me anymore?. . Why do the birds go on singing?.
To want and need you here with me and have to do without you (emotion). To be a part but with you constantly and never have to doubt you (emotion). There's can't be livin' like livin' should be.
Out in the west Texas town of El Paso. I fell in love with a Mexican girl. Night time would find me in Rose's Cantina. Music would play and Felina would whirl.
(Four o'clock in the morning and it's been raining. Little paddles of water reflect the thousand thin points of color. As neon signs shine and glimmer down into them.
She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles that weren't there yesterday. And thinks of the young man that she almost married. What would he think if he saw her this way.
You make my eyes run over all the time. You're happy when I'm out of my mind. You won't love me but you won't let me be. Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me?.
Don't let me cross over love's cheatin' line. I'm tempted my darling to steal you away don't let me cross over stay out of my way. You know that I love you and I'm not the stealing kind.
Don't it make you wanna go home now don't it make you wanna go home. All God's children get weary when they roam. Don't it make you wanna go home don't it make you wanna go home.
Last night, I went to sleep in Detroit City. And I dreamed about those cotton fields back home. I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother.
Dear heart I wish you were here to warm this night. (Dear heart seems like a year since you've been out of my sight). A single room a table for one it's a lonesome town all right.
Oh Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling. From glen to glen and down the mountain side. The summer's gone and all the roses falling it's you it's you must go and I must bide.
Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall. The marble statuets are standing stately in the hall. But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud help you dry your tears.
