I think I know what killed Keith Whitley,. And I wasn't just the whiskey,. Even with success there was a sad loneliness,. I think I know what killed Keith Whitley..
I need something like morphine only better. I need something like a kiss that lasts forever. I need something like money that will not burn. I need something and I need more, more than I can earn.
Ain't it just like one of us. To pick up the phone. And call after a couple of. Drinks,. And say,. "How you been?. I been wonderin'. That maybe you've been thinkin' 'bout me.".
If I see you on the street and start to cry. If it looks like I'm so lonesome I might die. If you can hear my heart just breaking right in two. Remind me once again who left who.
When I reach to hold you, I'll still be alone. When I heard the ringin' of the telephone. I'll think it is you. It will not be true. . I know why the river runs.
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder. You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger. May you never take one single breath for granted. God forbid love ever leave you empty handed.
Everybody needs a reason to believe. Something to keep 'em going. To set their soul on fire. And make 'em feel alive. It's their inspiration. . [Chorus].
Don't feel sorry for me. It's not like it seems. Yeah, he left this morning. Tonight I've got my dreams and memories. . He'll be back. He'll be back. If he's anything like his memory.
Grabbed my keys, door is locked. I turned off the coffee pot. Runnin' late as I back out of the drive. I feel like I'm forgettin' somethin'. . Feelin' good, great big smile.
I guess he's working late again. I don't need to wonder where he is. But I do. He ought a know that by now. . I know his job takes a lot of him. There's not much left for him to give.
Innocent, Confident. With a hint of curiosity and an air of what you see is what you get. Fun to be around. Laugh at herself. Never worried. Life is short but whats the hurry.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas. Let your heart be light. From now on, our troubles will be out of sight. Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Down at the lost highway cafe. I met a man there with a map in his hand. He said "I'm a little bit confused. And I'm not sure where I am". . He said, "I'm trying to find this place.
Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name. The Lord is calling daily to those who would be saved. Don't go down defeated while victory's here to claim. Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name.
Its something so magical. Incomprehensible. Yet its so sensible. This you and me. . The snow on the street outside. That catches the blue moonlight. Why cant it always be.
I knew this kid, his name was Michael. He was only four years old. We sat on a rock and started talkin'. And he told me things I didn't know. . He said yesterday he was an Indian.
I've been hurryin', I've been worryin'. I've been runnin' against the wind. I've been bettin' my soul on a long shot roll. That a good man never wins.
I thought of walkin' out on you. It's crossed my mind a time or two. Nights we almost called it a day. And days we almost threw our love away. . [Chorus].
Don't come back cryin' to me. Tellin' me, your gonna be. That man you've always wanted to be. Well I can see right through those eyes. Your just like them guys.
We pass in the hall. On our way to separate rooms. The only time we ever talk. Is when the monthly bills are due. . We go work, we go to church. We fake the perfect life.
