These lines in my face, caused from worry,
Grow deeper as you walk out of sight. Mine is the face of a fighter, But my heart has just lost the fight. Round one: you told me you loved me, An' I felt my heart falling there an' then. The last round: you walked tall an' left me, An' I guess my heart's losing again. Mine is the face of a fighter: I fought for your love with all my might. Mine is the face of fighter, But my heart has just lost the fight. Yes, mine is the face of a fighter: I fought for your love with all my might. Mine is the face of fighter, But my heart has just lost the fight. |

As you sit there in your loneliness,
Confused as you must be. I'm sure a dozen questions come to mind. And if you're wondering why I left you, After all you've done for me, I guess you'll have to blame it on the times. The many times you had your way, No matter what the cost. And the many times you took for granted, Love you now have lost. And if I've hurt you, darling, I don't mean to be unkind. I guess you'll have to blame it on the times. That small conceited world of yours, Could never understand, That to want to stand alone is not a crime. And, if for one time in my life, I'm acting like a man, I guess you'll have to blame it on the times. Blame it on the many times, A hiding place I'd seek. Afraid to say what's on my mind, An' ashamed for being weak. So if at last I'm seeing, After so long being blind, I suppose you'll have to blame it on the times. |

Now I lay me down to sleep
And if I sleep, perhaps I'll dream. If I dream, I'll be with you, In the shelter of your arms. I pray that god will lengthen night, And grant me time before the light. For the light of day will take me From the shelter of your arms. And though I know it's just a dream, A dream that soon must end, The arms I feel, I know are real, And I'm happy, once again. If I die, while I am asleep, I pray my dreams he'll let me keep, And carry me through eternity In the shelter of your arms. And though I know it's just a dream, A dream that soon must end, The arms I feel, I know are real And I'm happy, once again. And if I die while I am asleep, I pray my dreams he'll let me keep, And carry me through eternity In the shelter of your arms |

Some other time, I'll forget you.
And start my life anew. But not just now, I won't forget you, 'Cos I've spent too much time loving you. I know I could forget you if I wanted to. But there's still ten thousand dreams that I must dream of you. Some other time, I'll stop rememberin', The love that came my way. Then I'll forget I ever loved you. Some other time, but not today. I know I could forget you if I wanted to. But there's still ten thousand dreams that I must dream of you. Some other time, I'll stop rememberin', The love that came my way. Then I'll forget I ever loved you. Some other time, but not today. |

Each time you hurt me, you say you're sorry.
I try to understand, and say: "OK." But there must be an end to understanding, And the end of mine can't be too far away. I try to understand that you're "only human". And "we all make mistakes" every day. But there must be an end to understanding, And I know that I just can't go on this way. Don't you know that love and understanding go together: Ask too much of one and both will die. And there must be an end to understanding, And I know, someday, I'll reach the end of mine. Don't you know that love and understanding go together: Ask too much of one and both will die. And there must be an end to understanding, And I know, someday, I'll reach the end of mine. |

When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life But it's my life Many people just like me Dreamin' of old used-to-be's Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life Ah, but it's my life Listen to the blues that they're playin' Listen what the blues are sayin' Life is just another scene In this old world of broken dreams Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life But it's my life Oh, the night life ain't no good life Oh, but it's my life Yeah, it's my life |

They're working while I'm missing you those healing hands of time
And soon they'll be dismissing you from this heart of mine They'll lead me safely through the night and I'll follow as though blind My future tightly clutched within those healing hands of time They let me close my eyes just then those healing hands of time And soon they'll let me sleep again those healing hands of time So already I've reached mountain peaks and I've just begun to climb I'll get over you by clinging to those healing hands of time I'll get over you by clinging to those healing hands of time |

The children are sleeping, our talk can begin
We've waited until they've gone to bed We knew they would cry when we said goodbye And I'd rather leave quietly instead We can never be happy We both know it's true We've quarrelled from the day that we met Our love was too weak to pull our dreams through But too strong to let us forget I hope we can salvage a few memories To carry us through the long nights The clock's striking midnight Yesterday's gone and there's no tomorrow in sight In our efforts to break through The thick walls of pride With harsh words that burned to the core The walls still remain But the words broke inside And strengthened the walls even more I hope we can salvage... |

What can you do to me now
That you haven't done to me already You broke my pride and made me cry out loud What can you do to me now I'm seeing things that I never thought I'd see You've opened up the eyes inside of me How long have you been doing this to me I'm seeing sides of me that I can't believe Someway somehow I'll make a man of me I will build me back the way I used to be Much stronger now the second time around cause What can you do to me now What can you do to me now... |

All my tears have fallen, I can cry no more
I've cried so much since you have said goodbye The pressure keeps on building up, within my heart It grows and grows but still, my eyes are dry Though my heart is breakin', tears refuse to start So I've got to find a new way to cry I've got to find a new way to relieve the pain It just can't stay, forever, locked inside And until I forget you and can smile again I've got to find a new way to cry I've got to find a new way to relieve the pain It just can't stay, forever, locked inside And until I forget you and can smile again I've got to find a new way to cry |

I let my mind wander
And what did it do I just kept right on goin' Until it got right to you Can't trust it one minute It's worst than a child This old face without conscience And it's driving me wild When I let my mind wander I try to keep my mind busy With thoughts of today but In terrible memories Seem to lure it away My lonely heart wonders If there'll ever come a day When I can be happy But I can't see no way Cause I let my mind wander |

One time she loved you
And though you still feel the same Love is always the loser When pride plays the game She would never admit she was wrong And you just couldn't give in Now you both are losers And pride wins again She would never admit that she was wrong And you just couldn't give in Now you both are losers And pride wins again |

Well it's cloudy in the morning gonna be raining in the afternoon
Cloudy in the morning and it's gonna be raining in the afternoon If you don't like this rainy weather you better pack your bags and move But if you're running from it brother the only road that I can see If you're running from it brother the only road that I can see Is the road that leads to nowhere and nowhere is a fool like me Rain keep a falling falling round my window pane Rain keep a falling falling round my window pane Ain't never seen so much rainy weather guess I'll never see the sun again Save those dimes and nickels save 'em for a rainy day Save your dimes and nickels save 'em for a rainy day It ain't gonna keep the rain from coming but at least you know you've paid your way Rain rain rain keep a falling... ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By JOE TURNER, J.

I made myself a promise, the day you put me down,
That I wouldn't see you if you came around. But here you are, within my arms, the way you used to be. And I broke the promise that I made to me. They told me you were at a dance and I prepared to go: I made myself a promise that I'd only say hello. I knew you'd only hurt me, but it's such sweet misery, So I broke the promise that I made to me. A broken promise always means someone will surely cry, And I know who that someone's bound to be. And tomorrow I'll be sorry that I told myself a lie, And broke the promise that I made to me. A broken promise always means someone will surely cry, And I know who that someone's bound to be. And tomorrow I'll be sorry that I told myself a lie, And broke the promise that I made to me. |

I'm sorry, but you've come to the wrong house.
But I know who those flowers are for. The flowers that you have are for someone who's happy, And happiness lives next door. Someone sends her flowers each evening, And her young heart is flooded with joy. So don't keep her waiting, deliver the flowers, To happiness, who lives next door. The only one who would send flowers to me, Is gone to return no more. But there's some consolation to know someone is happy, And happiness lives next door. Instrumental break. The only one who would send flowers to me, Is gone to return no more. But there's some consolation to know someone is happy, And happiness lives next door. |

Didn't sleep a wink last night,
'Cause you walked out the night before. Just been sittin' here, rottin', hoping you'd come knockin', Knocking at my door. Watched the moon pass by my window, The stars faded out of sight. The sun came into view, an' still I thought of you, An' I didn't sleep a wink last night. Tryin' to remember what I'd done, To make you treat me so. What have I been guilty of? Well, I'd just like to know. Thought if we could talk it over, Maybe I could make things right. 'Cause until I'm forgiven, I'm exisitin', I'm not livin', An' I didn't sleep a wink last night. I didn't sleep a wink last night. |

Yesterday as I talked with a friend in town I forgot to remember that you're gone
For a moment I found myself smiling but a moment isn't very long And last night as I danced with a stranger and she held her cheek close to my own For a moment I almost forgot you but a moment isn't very long Every now and then I get a chance to smile But those every now and thens just last a little while And tonight I've got a date with a new love but I know I'd do just as well at home For a moment maybe I could forget you but a moment isn't very long ( steel ) Every now and then... But a moment isn't very long |

If I only had one arm to hold you
Well better yet if I had none at all Then I wouldn't have two arms that ache For you there'd be one less mem'ry to recall If I only had one ear to listen to The lies that you told to me Then I more closely resemble The half a man that you've made of me If I only had one leg to stand on Then how much how much truer picture you'd see 'Cause then I more closely resemble The half a man that you've made of me |

I'd be the last one to tell you that you shouldn't go
And the first to say be happy if you can But you lie and hurt someone who needs and loves you so Do you mind too much if I don't understand I suppose that you're convinced this is the thing to do Life is short and sweet break all the hearts you can I guess I shouldn't be surprised it's all a game to you But do you mind too much if I don't understand Forgive me but it all seems so unreal to me And my heart and me we'd made so many plans But that's all over now there's nothing left to do But do you mind too much if I don't understand (Do you mind too much) if I don't understand |

I'd like to rush into somebody's arms
And lose myself inside But just any arms won't do They must belong to you I'd like to know the soothing comfort Of a love that never dies But just any old love won't do That love must come from you I've tried so hard to find someone to love Since I lost you, But they only make me realize How much that I need you I'd like to know when I grow older Someone's heart will still be true But just any old heart won't do It must belong to you |

My oatmeal tastes just like confetti
the coffee's too strong so forget it The toast is burning well let it there's just so much to do since you've gone Too much to do all alone My tie's lost I can't find the sweater there's the doorbell I hope that's your letter My head aches I hope I feel better there's just so much to do since you've gone Too much to do all alone So much to do since you've gone too much to do all alone And time time rolls on like a river and oh there's just so much to do And I just can't do without you So much to do since you've gone too much to do all alone And time time rolls on like a river and oh there's just so much to do And I just can't do without you |

I've been trying so hard to forget you
But this chore of forgetting I find Has me burning both ends of the candle And fighting a battle with time What I'd give just to sleep for a moment But it's a luxury that I can't afford For I know that I just dream about you And my tears would start falling once more So I'm burning both ends of the candle I just hope that it lasts through the night For each moment the candle is burning Brings closer the ending of life So I'm burning both ends of the candle I just hope that it lasts through the night For each moment the candle is burning It brings closer the ending of life |

I'm just one step before losing you.
And I'm just one step ahead of the blues. But I know that there's been pain an misery. Long before this old world had ever heard of me. And I know it will hurt to see you go, But we'll just add one more heartache to the score. And though I still love you as before, I'm just one step beyond caring any more. Bet that you're surprised that I could feel this way, After staying home an' waiting night and day. For someone who cared so much for me, You'd come home just long enough to laugh at me. I don't know just when my feeling's changed, I just know I could never feel the same, And though I still love you as before, I'm just one step beyond caring any more. |

Slow down slow down old world
There's no hurry cause My life ain't mine anymore I lived too fast Now it's too late to worry And I'm too blue to cry anymore I once was a fool for the women Now I'm just a fool nothing more So slow down slow down old world There's no hurry cause My life ain't mine anymore I once had a way with the women Till one got away with my heart So slow down slow down old world There's no hurry cause My life ain't mine anymore 'Cause my life ain't mine anymore |
