let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears. while we all sup sorrow with the poor. there's a song that will linger forever in our ears.
The moment I gave in. To the pleasures of man. Some they called it weakness. While others called it sin. Oh brother, hear the trouble. That I'm in. . Well I made a lot of money.
Some may say, that an empty-handed man. Will do all he can to hold someone again. But I say to hell with it all. Till there ain't nothin' left to condemn.
Indecision, poor decisions, led me to believe. That you live and you learn till you earn. Your own worst enemy. . Cross my heart and hope to die. Has she got somethin' better.
I feel I'm flyin' blind when I know that my mind won't believe me. Not much to be said when my heart and my head still deceive me. Don't offer up help that you know that I won't be needin'.
Summertime at the fair;. Thought I found true love there.. Remember how we met?. We both played hard to get.. Now, it'll be hard getting. Over you,. And begin forgetting.
Last night beneath the covers,. I asked about your old lover.. And were you seeing my face or his.. You said, "The past is better left where it is.". Then you turned your back with a sigh,.
My fondest memories didn't happen on sunny days. 'Cause when that summer sun was a-beating down. It was all work and no play. Daddy wasn't the only one who used to pray for rain.
The crowd rose to their feet. 'Round a diamond made of clay. A little boy was rounding third. But the ball beat him to the plate. . Before the dust could even settle.
Ain't no short way up the mountain. Ain't no easy way to cross that river. When it's draggin' you under. Ain't no sure thing you can count on. . Break down these walls.
I knew when you left me that you'd be back someday. And I know there's a chance you'll leave again but that's one I've gotta take. Girl, after all what have I got to lose.
Leaves are falling, the wolves are calling. And death goes with them.. The light is waning the night will reign o'er me. But in the heart of the deepest dark, the light is shining.
We've only known each other since the moment we met. But it seems like forever to me. I haven't figured out the perfect way to say it yet. But I suppose, at times like these.
For years we fought the night. With pale and ghostly flames. Some still dream of light. So the sun will rise again. . We'll cure our need for wrongs. In cool and measured crime.
Clock radio wakes me up from my dreams. This bathroom floor's feeling cold on my feet. But I keep the rhythm by brushing my teeth to the radio. The nest thing I knew, that toothbrush in my hand.
There's something dark inside of me.. There is a ghost in this machine.. There is a giant jagged hole.. Twists and rips through my soul.. Like the roots of some old retched tree..
When she picked up the telephone. His voice came on the line. She said, "This can't be happening". An' tears fell from her eyes. . She said, "What am I supposed to do?.
He was never voted "Most Likely to Succeed". But still he married Tammy Bell, the prettiest girl in all of Knox County. And his uncle got him on at Thompson's Tool and Die.
The last thing on your lips were mine. And the last thing in my arms was you running blind. So you can see, how it might have caught me, a little off guard.
That's what I'm talkin' about. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. . I cut my teeth on an old lawn-mower. Cleanin' out gutters, doin' other people's chores. After school, weekends an' holidays.
