He Sings The Blues - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (2005) by Various Artists (보컬) on maniadb.com

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were
The gifts you gave
To the dark and empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time, my love
And it would last till the end of time, my love
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face

In the wee small hours of the morning
while the whole wide world is fast alseep
you lie awake thinking of the girl
never even think of counting sheep

while the whole wide world has learned it's lesson
she'd be yours if only she would call
in the wee small hours of the morning
is the time i miss her most of all

(Instrumental)

in the wee small hours of the morning
while the whole wide world is fast asleep
you lie awake thinking of the girl
never even think of counting sheep

while the whole wide world has learned it's lesson
she'd be yours if only she would call
in the wee small hours of the morning
is the time i miss her most off all

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation


And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now,
most of my days i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
from the place i was born.
But when she wakes me,
she takes me back home.

Now, most days,
i spend like a child.
Who's afraid of ghosts in my mind.
I know, there aint nothing out there.
I'm still afraid to turn on the lights.

I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now,
most of my days a i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
the place i was born.
When she wakes me,
she takes me back home.

A thousand miles,
the place i was born.
When she wakes me,
she takes me back home.

I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now,
most of my days i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
from the place i was born.
When she wakes me,
she takes me..
Ya, when she wakes me,
she takes me back home.
When she wakes me,
she takes me back home.

Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where I can't find my way
Without her as my guide

Night falls I'm cast beneath here spell
Daylight comes our heaven torn to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

In the night of love words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cut like a switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart
She tears again my bleeding heart
I want to run she's pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
Then I just melt away
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

Haunted by her side is the darkness in her eyes
That so enslaves me
But if my love is blind then I don't want to see
She's a mystery to me

Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven torn to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

You may be an ambassador to England or France
You might like to gamble, you might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You might be a socialite with a long string of pearls

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

You might be a rock 'n' roll man, prancing on the stage
Plenty of drugs at your command and women in a cage
You might be a businessman or some high degree thief
They may call you 'Doctor', they may call you 'Chief'

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, yeah, yeah, serve somebody
Oh, it may be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Now, you may be a State Trooper, you might be a young Turk
You may even be the head of some great big TV network
You may be rich or poor and you may be blind or chained
You might be living in another country under another name

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're still gonna have to serve somebody

Maybe a construction worker working on a home
Might be living in a mansion, you might live in a dome
You may own guns, you may even own tanks
You may be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh yeah, serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, it might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Now you can call me Terry or you might call me Moore
You may call me David or you might call me Coe
You can call me RJ or you can call me Ray
You can call me anything, I don't care what you say

You're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

You may be a rock 'n' roll star, prancing on the stage
You got plenty of drugs at your command, you got women in a cage
You might be a big businessman or some high degree thief
Now they might call you 'Doctor', they might call you 'Chief'

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

It might be the devil, it might be, it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh man, you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody

It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Somebody, somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord

I want to know how does it feel
Behind those eyes of blue
You've made your mistakes
And now your heart aches
Behind those eyes of blue

People may say you've had your chance
And let it slip away
But hard as they try
There's a dream that won't die
Behind those eyes of blue

Maybe once in a while
There's a trace of a smile
Behind those eyes of blue
But it's painfully clear
There's a river of tears
Behind those eyes of blue

You know life is too short
For compromising
Take a hold of your dream
And realize it

You know there's nothing left
To stand in your way
Except yourself and I know
Though your hearts full of pain
That a hope still remains
Behind those eyes of blue

Smoke gets in your eyes
They asked me how I knew my true love was true?
Oh, I of course replied.
""Something here inside, cannot be denied""
They said someday you'll find,
all who love are blind.
When your heart's on fire.
You must realize smoke gets in your eyes.
So I chaffed them and I gayly laughed.
To think they could doubt my love.
Yet today, my love has flown away.
I'm without my love.
Now laughing friends deride, tears I cannot hide.
So I smile and say.
""When a lovely flame dies,
smoke gets in your eyes.""

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
Im living in a kind of daydream
Im happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me thats everythingThe mere idea of you, the longing here for you
Youll never know how slow the moments go till Im near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
Its just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
Youll never know how slow the moments go till Im near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
Its just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last

My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I've been fooled in the past
But still I fall in love so easily
I fall in love too fast

My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I've been fooled in the past
But still I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins, this is where our story ends,
Never lovers ever friends.
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day, but before you walk away,
I sincerely want to say.

I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing,
And then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love.
And in July, lemonade to cool you in some leafy glade,
I wish you health, and more than wealth, I wish you love.
My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be,
So with my best, my very best, I set you free.
I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,
Most of all, when snowflakes fall, I wish you love.

we have all the time in the world
time enough for life to unfold
all the precious things love has in store
we have all the love in the world
if thats all we have you will find
we need nothing more
every step out the way
we'll find us with the cares of the world
from behind us
we have all the time in the world
just for love nothing more
nothing less only love

every step out the way
we will find us
with the cares of the world
from behind us
we have all the time in the world
just for love nothing more
nothing less only love
only now

Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly, long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there

(Softly, long before you kiss me)
(Long before your arms can beg me stay)
(For one more hour) or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
As I leave I you there
As I leave I you there

- By The Time I Get To Phoenix -


By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin'
On her door

She'll laugh when she reads the part
That says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl
So many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque
She'll be working
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch
And give me a call

But she'll just hear that phone
Keep on ringin'
Off the wall that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out loud

And she'll cry just to think
I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I try to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go

Who's gonna water my plants?
Who's gonna patch my pants?
And who's gonna give me
The chance to feel brand new?
Who's gonna iron my shirts?
Who's gonna kiss where it hurts?
And who needs a man when
He flirts the way I do?
Who, if not you?
Who, if not you?
Who, if not you?
Tell me, who, if not you?
Who's gonna wake me on time?
Who'll smile and say I look fine?
And who's gonna stay on my mind
The whole day through?
Who's gonna see that I'm fed?
Then who's gonna want me in bed?
But who'll watch TV instead
Because I do?
Who, if not you?
Tell me, who, if not you?
Who...

Lady...
I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you.
You have made me what I am and I am yours.
My love...
There's so many ways I want to say, "I love you."
Let me hold you in my arms forever more.

You have gone and made me such a fool.
I'm so lost in your love.
And oh, we belong together.
Won't you believe in my song?
Lady...
For so many years, I thought I'd never find you.
You have come into my life and made me whole.
Forever, let me wake to see you each and every morning.
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear.
In my eyes, I see no one else but you.
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes I'll always want you near me.
I've waited for you for so long.
Lady...
Your love's the only love I need.
and Beside me is where I want you to be.
Cause my love there's something I want you to know.
You're the love of my life. You're my lady...

And I love you so,
The people ask me how,
How I've lived till now
I tell them "I don't know"

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

And yes I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening bring me down
Now that you're around me

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do

The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
This is my belief

And yes I know how loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

And I love you so
The people ask me how,
How I've lived till now
I tell them "I don't know"

The partys over
Its time to call it a day
Theyve burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
Its time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paidThe partys over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the partys over
Its all over, my friend<instrumental the partys over>
The partys over
<instrumental its time to call it a day>
Its time to call it a day
<instrumental theyve burst your pretty balloon and taken
the moon away>
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the partys over
Its all over, my friendIts all over, my friend
