You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair Ruby are you contemplating Going out somewhere The shadow on the wall Tells me the sun is going down Oh Ruby Don't take your love to town It wasn't me That started that crazy Asian war But I was proud to go And do my patriotic chore And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be Oh, Ruby I still need some company It's hard to love a man Whose legs are bent and paralyzed That my wants and needs of a woman of your age Ruby, I realized Oh Ruby Don't take your love to town She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door The way I know I've heard it Some 100 times before And if I could move I'd get my gun And put her in the ground Oh Ruby Don't take your love to town Oh Ruby for God's sake turn around |

Reuben James, in my song you live again
And the phrases that I rhyme are just a footstep out of time From the time when I knew you, Reuben James Reuben James, all the folks around Hadison County Cussed your name You're just a no-count, sharecropping colored man You'd steal anything you can And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James For a grave, the gossiper of Hadison County died with chid Although your skin was black You were the one that didn't turn your back On the hungry white child with no name, Reuben James Reuben James, with your mind on the soul And a bottle in your right hand You said turn the other cheek For there's a better world awaiting for the meek In my mind, these words remain from Reuben James Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James Reuben James, one dark cloudy day They brought you from the field And to your lonely pine box Came just a preacher, me and the rain Just to sing one last refrain to Reuben James Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James |

You lie in gentle sleep beside me
I hear your warm and rhythmic breathing I take your hand and hold it tightly Listen, can you not hear our young hearts beating I kiss the sleep from your eyes Your smile is sweeter than the morning And here it comes. Chorus: Can you feel it baby Can you feel it, here it comes Feel it, Feel it Fire, Fire Something's burning Something's burning Something's burning And I think it's love. And now the sun is burning brightly We lie in love so close together I get the feeling deep inside me My love for you will burn forever. I cup my hands to touch your face And once again I feel your fire And here it comes Chorus: Can you feel it baby Can you feel it, here it comes Feel it, Feel it Fire, Fire Something's burning Something's burning Something's burning And I think it's love. And I think it's love, love And I think it's love. And I think it's love, love And I think it's love. And I think it's love, love And I think it's love... |

Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters Tell it all. How much you're holding back on me When you say you're giving all? And in the dungeons of your mind Who you got chained to the wall? Tell it all brother, before we fall Tell it all brothers and sisters Tell it all. Did you plant your feet on higher ground To avoid life's mud and stone? Did you ever kick a good man When he was down, just to make yourself feel strong? Tell it all brother, before we fall Tell it all brothers and sisters Tell it all. Tomorrow just might be too late Now is the time To get your jumbled mind straight And seek a new design. Did you ever walk for a crippled man Pretending you were lame? And what made you think one feeble hand to God Was gonna make him call your name? Tell it all brother and sisters Tell, Tell it all Tell it all brother, before we fall Tell it all brothers and sisters, tell Tell it all brother, before we fall Tell it all... |

Every now and then when the world steps in
Stealin' all our time away It soon takes so much, we forget to touch That's when I know it's time for me to say. Take my hand let's walk through love's door And be free from the world once more Here's my arms, we can hide today And love the world away. Once again we'll be where our hearts are free And the time is ours to share Love will always stay just a touch away Come with me all the magic's waiting there. Take my hand let's walk through love's door And be free from the world once more Here's my heart, we can hide today And love the world away. We can love the world away... |

In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
On a bar stool she took off her ring I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over I sat down and asked her name When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter But I finally quit livin' on dreams I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm after what-ever the other life brings In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him I thought how he looked out of place He came to the woman who sat there beside me Had a strange look on his face The big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain For a minute I thought I was dead But he started shaking his big heart was breaking He turned to the woman and said You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille With four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some bad times lived through some sad times But this time your hurting won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille After he left us I ordered more whisky I thought how she'd made him look small From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room We walked without talking at all She was a beauty but when she came to me She must have thought I'd lost my mind I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that he told her Kept coming back time after time You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille .... |

And he'll tell her he's working late again
But she knows too well there's something going on She's been neglected, and she needs a friend So her trembling fingers dial the telephone Lord, it hurts her doing this again He's the best friend that her husband ever knew When she's lonely, he's more than just a friend He's the one she longs to give her body to Daytime friends and nighttime lovers Hoping no one else discovers Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway Daytime friends and nighttime lovers They don't want to hurt the others So they love in the nighttime And shake hands in the light of day When it's over, there's no peace of mind Just a longing for the way things should have been And she wonders why some men never find That a woman needs a lover and a friend Daytime friends and nighttime lovers Hoping no one else discovers Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway Daytime friends and nighttime lovers They don't want to hurt the others So they love in the nighttime And shake hands in the light of day Daytime friends and nighttime lovers Hoping no one else discovers Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway Daytime friends and nighttime lovers They don't want to hurt the others So they love in the nighttime And shake hands in the light of day Daytime friends and nighttime lovers Hoping no one else discovers Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway Daytime friends and nighttime lovers They don't want to hurt the others So they love in the nighttime And shake hands in the light of day |

I wouldn't listen, and I couldn't see,
And all I have left now, Are words you said to me Sing me a song sweet music man, 'Cause I won't be there to hold your hand Like I used to, I'm through with you You're a helluva singer And a powerful man but you surround yourself With people who demand so little of you You touched my soul with your beautiful song You even had me singing along right with you You said "I need you" Then you changed the words and that harmony And you sang that song you'd written for me To someone new But nobody sings a love song quite like you do, And nobody else can make me sing along, And nobody else can make me feel That things are right when you know they're wrong, Nobody sings a love song quite like you. Sing me a song sweet music man, Your making a living doing one night stands that do for you what you need them to Your still a hell of a singer but a broken man And you surround yourself with people who demand So little of you But nobody sings a love song quite like you do, You travel the world with a six piece band That does for you what you ask 'em to And you try to stay up with the songs you sung To so many people that all begun to come back on you Sing me a song sad music man You're making your living doing one night stands that's do with you they don't need you, you're still a helluva singer but a broken man but you keep on looking for one last band to sing with you But nobody sings a love song quite like you do, And nobody else can make me sing along, And nobody else can make me feel That things are right when you're wrong with a song, Nobody sings a love song quite like you. So sing me a song sweet music man, I believe in you |

You want things your way
And I want them mine And now we don't know Just where to draw the line How long can love survive If we keep choosing sides And who picks up the pieces Every time two fools collide You lay the blame on me And I, the blame on you But why do we keep finding faults In everything we do And how long can we keep right and wrongs So cut and dry And who picks up the pieces Every time two fools collide We can save our love We still have the time Oh, I know there must be a way But we still haven't tried To keep our hearts from breaking Every time two fools collide |

On a warm summer's evenin'
On a train bound for nowhere I met up with the gambler We were both too tired to sleep So we took turns a-starin' Out the window at the darkness When boredom overtook us He began to speak He said, "Son, I've made my life Out of readin' people's faces Knowin' what the cards were By the way they held their eyes So if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice" So I handed him my bottle And he drank down my last swallow Then he bummed a cigarette And asked me for a light And the night got deathly quiet And his face lost all expression He said, "If You're gonna play the game, boy You gotta learn to play it right" You've got to know When to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away Know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done Now every gambler knows The secret to survivin' Is knowin' what to throw away And knowin' what to keep 'Cause every hand's a winner And every hand's a loser And the best you can hope for Is to die in your sleep" And when he finished speakin' He turned back toward the window Crushed out his cigarette And faded off to sleep And somewhere in the darkness The gambler - he broke even And in his final words I found An ace that I could keep You've got to know When to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away Know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done You've got to know When to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away Know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done |

Sometimes when I'm down and alone
I feel just like a child with out a home The love you give me keeps me hangin' on, honey All I ever need is you. Your my first love, your my last Your my future, your my past Ohhh loving you is all I ask, honey All I ever need is you. Winters come and then they go And we watch the melting snow Sure summer follows spring, all the things you do Give me a reason to build my world around you. (World around you) Some men follow rainbows I am told Some men search for silver, some for gold But I found my treasures in my soul And all I ever need is you. Without love I'd never find the way Through ups and downs of every single day And I won't sleep at night until you say Honey, all I ever need is you. La, La, La, La, La, La The love you give me keeps me hangin' on Honey, all I'll ever need is you. La, La, La, La, La, La But I found my treasures in my soul Honey, and all I ever need is you. La, La, La, La, La, La... |

While she lays sleeping, I stay out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the nights can be so long And it's good when I finally make it home, all alone While she lays dreaming, I try to get undressed without the light And quietly she says how was your night? And I come to her and say, it was all right, and I hold her tight And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world With my little songs, I was wrong But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right I will find a way, find a way... While she lays waiting, I stumble to the kitchen for a bite Then I see my old guitar in the night Just waiting for me like a secret friend, and there's no end While she lays crying, I fumble with a melody or two And I'm torn between the things that I should do And she says to wake her up when I am through, God her love is true... And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world With my little songs, I was wrong But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right I will find a way, while she waits... while she waits for me for me! |

Kenny Rogers & Dottie West
I'll need time to get you off my mind I may sometimes bother you, try to be in touch with you Even ask too much of you, from time to time Now and then, Lord, you know I'll need a friend And 'till I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you, 'Til I can make it on my own. I'll get by, but no matter how I try There'll be times that you'll know I'll call Chances are my tears will fall And I'll have no pride at all, from time to time But they say, oh, there'll be a brighter day But 'til then I lean on you, that's all I mean to do, 'Til I can make it on my own. Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning sun Without another lonely night behind me Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done No more hurtin' memories can find me. But 'til then, Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend 'Til I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you 'Til I can make it on my own... |

All my life was a paper once plain, pure and white
Till you moved with your pen changing moods now and then Till the balance was right Then you added some music, every note was in place And anybody could see all the changes in me by the look on my face And you decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart You decorated my life Like a rhyme with no reason in an unfinished song There was no harmony life meant nothin' to me, until you came along And you brought out the colors, what a gentle surprise Now I'm able to see all the things life can be shining soft in your eyes And you decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart You decorated my life |

Evryone considered him the coward of the county.
Hed never stood one single time to prove the county wrong. His mama named him tommy, the folks just called him yellow, But something always told me they were reading tommy wrong. He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison. I looked after tommy cause he was my brothers son. I still recall the final words my brother said to tommy: Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun. Promise me, son, not to do the things Ive done. Walk away from trouble if you can. It wont mean youre weak if you turn the other cheek. I hope youre old enough to understand: Son, you dont have to fight to be a man. Theres someone for evryone and tommys love was becky. In her arms he didnt have to prove he was a man. One day while he was workin the gatlin boys came callin. They took turns at becky.... there was three of them! Tommy opened up the door and saw his becky cryin. The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand. He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddys picture. As his tears fell on his daddys face, he heard these words again: Promise me, son, not to do the things Ive done. Walk away from trouble if you can. It wont mean youre weak if you turn the other cheek. I hope youre old enough to understand: Son, you dont have to fight to be a man. The gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom. One of them got up and met him halfway cross the floor. When tommy turned around they said, hey look! ol yellows leavin. But you coulda heard a pin drop when tommy stopped and blocked the door. Twenty years of crawlin was bottled up inside him. He wasnt holdin nothin back; he let em have it all. When tommy left the barroom not a gatlin boy was standin. He said, this ones for becky, as he watched the last one fall. And I heard him say, I promised you, dad, not to do the things you done. I walk away from trouble when I can. Now please dont think Im weak, I didnt turn the other cheek, And papa, I sure hope you understand: Sometimes you gotta fight when youre a man. Evryone considered him the coward of the county. |

Just look at you sitting there
You never looked better than tonight And it would be so easy to tell you I'd stay Like I've done so many times I was so sure that this would be the night You'd close the door and wanna stay with me And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd wait Like I've done so many times Don't fall in love with a dreamer 'Cause he'll always take you in Just when you think you've really changed him He'll leave you again Don't you fall in love with a dreamer 'Cause he'll break you every time Put out the light and just hold on Before we say goodbye Now it's morning, the phone rings And you say you've gotta get your things together You just gotta leave before you change your mind And if you knew what I was thinking girl I'd turn around if you'd just ask me one more time Don't fall in love with a dreamer 'Cause he'll always take you in Just when you think you've really changed him He'll leave you again Don't fall in love with a dreamer 'Cause he'll break you every time Put out the light and just hold on Before we say goodbye Before we said goodbye Goodbye |

It's an ill wind that blows no good
And it's a sad heart that won't love like it should Oh, how lonesome you must be, and it's a shame If you don't share your love with me. It's a heartache when love is gone And it can get even worse if it keeps on Blinder than he who won't see, and it's a shame If you don't share your love with me. I can't help it if she is gone You must try to forget, you must live on It's a good thing to love someone But it's bad and even sad when it's not returned. Oh, how lonesome you must be and it's a shame If you don't share your love with me And I said it's a shame If you don't share your love with me... |

I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you I swear we've been through everything there is Can't imagine anything we've missed Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do Through the years, you've never let me down You turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found I've found with you ... through the years I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we've made And I'm so glad I've stayed, right here with you Through the years I can't remember what I used to do Who I trusted, whom I listened to before I swear you've taught me everything I know Can't imagine needing someone so But through the years it seems to me I need you more and more Through the years, through all the good and bad I knew how much we had, I've always been so glad To be with you ... through the years It's better every day, you've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you Through the years Through the years, when everything went wrong Together we were strong, I know that I belonged Right here with you ... through the years I never had a doubt, we'd always work things out I've learned what love's about, by loving you Through the years Through the years, you've never let me down You've turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found I've found with you ... through the years It's better everyday, you've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you Through the years! |

Why do people cry
When they hear the word goodbye In a love song? Tears are sure to fall When you know they gave it all In a love song. Somehow two lovers get a chance At a beautiful romance And you wish it could be you. 'Cause everybody's needing What the singers all are singing In a love song. It can tear you apart 'Cause a word can break a heart In a love song. They say all the things you feel And they make it sound so real In a love song. It seems that everything they say Is said in such a way That we believe it's true. 'Cause everybody's needing What the singers all are singing In a love song. Each of us know There's no guarantee We'll ever find love. And in the songs that we share The heartache is there To remind us. New love brings a thrill And we know it always will In a love song. Happiness can leave But it helps if we believe In a love song. There's a part of you and me In every memory That tells us who we are. And everybody's needing. |

No one will care, girl Look at the stars now, so far away We've got tonight Who needs tomorrow? We've got tonight, babe, why don't you stay? Deep in my soul I've been so lonely All of my hopes now so fading away I've longed for love Like everyone else does I know I'll keep searching after today So there it is, girl We've got it all now And here we are, babe What do you say? We've got tonight Who needs tomorrow? We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay? I know it's late and I know you're weary I know your plans don't include me Still here we are Both of us lonely , both of us lonely We've got tonight Who needs tomorrow? Let's make it last Let's find a way Turn out the light, come take my hand now We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay? We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay? |

I stood outside the Lucky Star
Staring at the flashing sign It read: come on in and watch young Scarlet's body come alive Let her dance for you and cast her spell You'll swear you can believe her Be careful not to catch the scarlet fever. So I paid my fare and walked down front And found an empty chair As I settled in young scarlet took the ribbons from her hair The moves her body made while the music played Were the likes I've never seen And she became the envy of my dreams. One by one her teasing movements Brought the crowd out of their seats And all at once young scarlet Danced straight up in front of me From the moment that her eyes found mine I've never been the same Scarlet locked another heart upon her chain. Now I get scarlet fever every time I see her But she's a night club teaser Not paid to notice me Yes, I get scarlet fever If she knew how much I need her She'd place her hand in my hand And dance away with me. She looked 25 but I was told That she was just 16 She had a way of making a man believe She danced for only him As she tantalized I fantasized And felt the sound of my heart beat And every night I'd dream She'd fall in love with me. Then one night while driving in My eyes begun to tear 'Cause the sign outside the Lucky Star Said: scarlet isn't here She'd left that day to find a life Of bigger and better things And she left behind my chain of broken dreams. But still get scarlet fever In my mind I still see her Out there dancing somewhere To another fool like me. Yes, I get scarlet fever every time I see her But she's a night club teaser Not paid to notice me Yes, I get scarlet fever If she knew how much I need her She'd place her hand in my hand And dance away with me... |

Now if the aim in your life is to settle me down
I couldn't change my point of view I got a lady in red at the back of my head But the woman in white is you. Do you wanna be the only one, Fade away in the mornin' sun I could love you all of my life, you are my wife, Haven't I let you know. We don't need no buried treasure, No buried treasure, we don't need it We don't stand on ceremony But life is phony in spite of it. You can never be all you wanna be When you're searchin' for gold We don't need no buried treasure, I've still got you (still got you, still got you) I've still got you in my soul. Well, it's a long way down and you gotta get up, You gotta figure on a master plan You couldn't do it, if you don't get ready, You'll be beaten by the other man. Do you wanna be the last one in, Play the game that you just don't win I can see me makin' you cry, sayin' goodbye, But I could never let you go. We don't need no buried treasure, No buried treasure, we don't need it We don't stand on ceremony But life is phony in spite of it. You can never be all you wanna be When you're searchin' for gold We don't need no buried treasure, I've still got you (still got you, still got you) I've still got you in my soul. Well, you're takin' my life in the palm of your hand, Make you mine for another day Ain't nobody doesn't need anybody When the good times turn away. I don't wanna be the lonely one, Fade away in the evenin' sun I could love you all of my life, You are my wife, haven't I told you so. We don't need no buried treasure, No buried treasure, we don't need it (Baby we don't need it) We don't stand on ceremony But life is phony in spite of it. (In spite of it.) You can never be all you wanna be When you're searchin' for gold We don't need no buried treasure, I've still got you (still got you, still got you) I've still got you in my soul. We don't need it, we don't need it (We don't need no buried treasure) We don't need no buried treasure, we don't need it (Baby we don't need it) We don't stand on ceremony But life is phony in spite of it. (We don't stand on ceremony in spite of it) You can never be all you wanna be When you're searchin' for gold (We don't need no buried treasure) We don't need no buried treasure I've still got you (still got you) I've still got you in my soul. We don't need it, we don't need it (We don't need no buried treasure) We don't need no buried treasure, we don't need it (Baby we don't need it) We don't stand on ceremony but life... |

Here it's seven in the am,
It's gonna take more then wakin' to rise me I wake up with this need again But feel the love of the woman beside me It's just one of those days When I wanna lay here with her And love her before I leave And listen to the rain fall up on the roof And the thunder sounds like horses hooves Oh, I listen to her breathe And it makes me wanna wake her up And tell her that I'm on fire With morning desire. It looks like I'm gonna be late again And I need to get up and get movin' And I'm tryin' But the longer I keep stallin' The more I think about callin' in and lyin' It's just one of those days When I wanna stay here with her And watch her while she sleeps And listen to the rain fall up on the roof And the thunder sounds like horses hooves Oh, I listen to her breathe And it makes me wanna wake her up And tell her that I'm on fire With morning desire Well, I love to hear the rain fallin' on the roof And the thunder sounds like horses hooves Oh, I listen to her breathe And it makes me wanna wake her up And tell her that I'm on fire With morning desire With morning desire |

It's been a long time since I walked
Through this old town But oh how the memories start to flow And there's the old movie house They finally closed it down You could find me there every Friday night Twenty years ago. I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street But nobody's left there I would know On Saturday mornings that's where All my friends would meet You'd be surprised to know what a dime would buy Twenty years ago. All my memories from those days come gather round me What I'd give if they could take me back in time It almost seems like yesterday Where do the good times go? Life was so much easier twenty years ago. I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson's hardware store His only son was my friend Joe But he joined the army back in 1964 How could we know he would never come back Twenty years ago... |

From the moment I met you,
you made my life complete. This wave of pure devotion, has swept me off my feet. And tonight when we kissed, you still took my breath away. It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway... The vows go un-broken - and you still know I do. Love, keep and honor - always true to you. Though I have been tempted, oh I have never strayed. I'd die before I'd damage, this union we have made. The vows go unbroken - and you still know I do. Love, keep and honor - always true to you. I knew from the first - that for better or worse, I'd stand by you all my life. And the go vows unbroken - and you still know I do. Love, keep and honor - always true to you. Love, keep and honor - always true to you. |

Little boy in a baseball hat
Stands in the feild with his ball and bat Says, I am the greatest player of them all. Put his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up the ball. And the ball goes up and the ball comes down Swings his bat all the way around The worlds so still he can hear the sound The baseball falls to the ground. Now the little boy doesn't say a word Picks up his ball, he is undeterred Says, I am the greatest there has ever been. And he grits his teeth and he tries it again. And the ball goes up and the ball comes down Swings his bat all the way around The worlds so still he can hear the sound The baseball falls to the ground. He makes no excuses He shows no fear He just closes his eyes And listens to the cheers. Little boy, he adjusts his hat Picks up his ball, stares at his bat Says, I am the greatest, the game is on the line. And he gives his all one last time. And the ball goes up when the moons so bright Swings his bat with all his might And the worlds so still as still can be And the baseball falls and thats strike three. Now it's suppertime and his mama calls Little boy starts home with his bat and ball Says, I am the greatest that is a fact. But even I didn't know I could pitch like that! Says, I am the greatest That is understood But even I didn't know I could pitch that good.... |

He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
Three car garage, her own credit cards He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss goodnight If he could only read her mind She'd say: Buy me a rose Call me from work Open a door for me what would it hurt Show me you love me by the look in your eyes These are the litte things I need the most of my life Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone She can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong Lately she'd try anything to turn his head Would it make a difference if she'd say: Buy me a rose Call me from work Open the door for me what would it hurt Show me you love me by the look in your eyes These are the litte things I need the most in my life And the more that he lives The less that he tries To show her the love that he holds inside And the more that she gives The more that he sees This is the story of you and me So I bought you a rose On the way home from work to open the door to a heart that i hurt And I hoped you noticed this look in my eyes cause im gonna make things right For the rest of your life(rest of your life) And I'm gonna hold you tonight do all those little things for the rest of your life. |

Kenny Rogers & Whitney Duncan
Single record titled: My World Is Over (Kenny) I didn't look over my shoulder I wasn't ready for this Didn't see the signs on the horizon I was so sure that you would never leave But you did. Chorus: (Kenny & Whitney) So sweep away the sand and dry the ocean And just, pack the moon and stars up in a cardboard box And stop the clocks from chiming Block the sun from shining And paint the sky a deeper shade of blue 'Cause my world's over without you. (Whitney) I know I should just keep goin' But I don't know where to start I never thought I'd see the day When you'd go and leave me here With my broken heart But you did. Chorus: (Kenny & Whitney) So sweep away the sand and dry the ocean And just, pack the moon and stars up in a cardboard box And stop the clocks from chiming And block the sun from shining And paint the sky a deeper shade of blue 'Cause my world's over without you. (Whitney) Maybe someday all the pain will fade (Kenny) Maybe this hurt will slowly slip away (Whitney) Maybe some things will never change (Kenny & Whitney) And I'll still love you. (Kenny & Whitney) Stop the clocks from chiming And block the sun from shining And paint the sky a deeper shade of blue 'Cause my world's over without you. My world's over My world's over without you My world's over. Stop the clocks from chiming And block the sun from shining 'Cause my world's over without you My world's over... |
