Under constant waiting. and all the wealth that you've known. she's standing there,. in her apron.. . You're standing in the road.. And she went off to the showgirl.
I just turned out the light upstairs the kids are fast asleep. I listened while they said their prayers for the Lord their souls to keep. And I didn't hear them say your name for the first time since you've gone.
Each time you say you'll love me forever I believe it then something goes wrong. So this time let's use my forever cause your forevers don't last very long.
Are you thinking that I don't care for you. Could it be you believe that I've been untrue. Well listen sweetheart it just cannot be. Cause you're the only good thing that's happened to me.
I thought any fool could be fooled only once that a burn child remembers the pain. Yet here I am listening with stars in my eyes you're telling me sweet lies again.
There's nothing so precious. The some thing you've lost. And found it somehow in the end. I lost you my darling but now you've come back. You're calling me sweetheart again.
I could lock you in a deep and darken dungeon put a big ball and chain on your feet. Even dress you in an old suit of armor you'd still find a way to cheat on me.
You'd better go each moment that you linger. Makes me forget his ring is on my finger. We love each other but I'm his so we must draw the line. You'd better go before I change my mind.
The news is out all over town that you've been seen out runnin' round. I know that I should leave but then I just can't go you win again. This heart of mine could never see what everybody knew but me.
Though we're apart, you'll always have my heart. You can't break the chains of love, dear. Wherever you go my heart will always know. You can't break the chains of love.
I keep building a new world but you keep tearing it down. I keep beating my heart out but you keep running around. There's no place in your life for me I'm just yesterday's best.
I'm just someone who's all alone in a cold and empty home. You're far away and yet you're still here by my side. You're dreaming now of bygone years of honky tonks and bars and beers.
World needs a tune that it can hum hm hm hm. World needs a guitar that it can strum. World seeds a melody it can sing sing sing sing sing let's all sing together.
I'm gonna stay right here beside him cause a woman's place is with her man. So many times a man gets lonesome and that's when he needs a helping hand.
There are times for no reason I feel so alone. Even though he's beside me where he's been all night long. In the dark I reach for him though he sound asleep.
Why did you wait to prove to be untrue why did you change what's come over you. What made you stop a carin' for me why did you wait till we had a family.
Who in the world would believe we are parting when we always got along so well. Who in the world would believe you are leaving when I can't believe it myself.
I don't have to live in a mansion or ride in a brand new car. I just wanna be near you wherever you are. And if you were locked in a prison I guess I have to cut the bars.
written by Mosie Lister. Once I stood in the night with my head bowed down. In the darkness as black as the sea. And I felt so alone and I cried oh Lord don't hide Thy face from me.
I walk up to my door and hate to turn the key. Emptiness is all that's left inside for me. That's how it is when the one you love is gone. That's how it is when your house is not a home.
