Jim Reeves - Collections (2006) by Jim Reeves (보컬) on maniadb.com

Out where the bright lights are glowing
You're drawn like a moth to a flame
You laugh while the wine's overflowing
While I sit and whisper your name

Four walls to hear me
Four walls to see
Four walls too near me
Closing in on me

Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting
But my walls have nothing to say
I'm made for love not for hating
So here where you left me I'll stay

One night with you is like heaven
And so while I'm walking the floor
I listen for steps in the hallway
And wait for your knock on my door.

Written by: Boudleaux Bryant

Blue boy, that's what they call me
'Cause I'm so lonely, since I lost you,
Blue boy, I'm known as blue boy
You've found a new boy, and now we're through.

Chorus:
I had a twinkle in my eye
When our sweet love was new,
Now all I do is moan and cry
And hunger after you.

Blue Boy, I'll be a blue boy
Until you need me, as I need you.

Chorus:
(I had a twinkle in my eye)
(When our sweet love was new,)
Now all I do is moan and cry
And hunger after you.

Blue Boy, I'll be a blue boy
Until you need me, as I need you.
(Blue boy)
As I need you.
(Blue boy)...

(Bill Anderson - Buddy Killen)

I filled up my pockets with money
Big trophies I've hung on my wall
My mansion sits high on the hilltop
And the world is impressed by it all.

But to me always all this glory is worries
And I've not been successful enough
For while I was thrilling the whole wide world
I was losing your love.

I forgot to kiss you
And hold to your charms
Success seems like nothing
To these empty arms.

All this time I've been gaining a treasure
That I can even speak partly of
For while I was thrilling the whole wide world
I was losing your love.

Slowly losing your love...

I hear the sound of distant drums
Far away, far away
And if they call for me to come
Then I must go and you must stay

So Mary marry me, let's not wait
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late
Love me now for now is all the time there may be
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me

I hear the sound of bugles blow
Far away, far away
And if they call, then I must go
Across the sea, so wild and grey.

So Mary marry me, let's not wait
For the distant drums might change our wedding date
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me

Is it really over, is this the end of the line?
Don't tell me I'm losing the love that was mine.
If you're really leaving, take some part of me.
So I'll always remember, how sweet love used to be.

I wonder who's stepping into my shoes, who can he be?
I can tell by your eyes our love has died, and it's over for me.

I wonder who's stepping into my shoes, who can he be?
I can tell by your eyes our love has died, and it's over for me.

Really over for me...

HOME (Jim Reeves)
Written by Roger Miller

Well, I've been a traveler most of my life
Never took a home, never took a wife
Ran away young and decided to roam
Wanna see my mama and my daddy back home

CHORUS:
Home, where the river runs cold
The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold
Home, where the trees grow tall
The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call

I remember stories that my daddy used to tell
My eyes would get big, and his chest would swell
I could sit for hours and listen with glee
As he'd tell of how he lived when he's a boy like me

REPEAT CHORUS

Well, mama dear, mama do you still love your boy
After all my roamin' can I still bring you joy
Mom sent a letter, got it not long ago
She said "come home, I'm missin' you so

Well, this is it,
That day is here
The day I knew would come
When you would leave me dear.

Well, here I sit,
While teardrops fall
And wonder why I care
When you don't care at all.

But I'm a fool that way
From a-way back when
A fool who'd take you back
If you'd come back again.

But, this is it,
You're gone, you're free
You'll find another love
But this is it for me.

Well, this is it,
That day is here
It's no surprise and yet
I can't hold back the tears.

Well, here I sit,
And try to guess
how such an empty room
So full of loneliness.

Well, even the clock has stopped
Somehow I guess it knew
That time's run out of me
It's over it's all through.

Yes, this is it,
You're gone, you're free
You'll find another love
But this is it for me...
