Willie Nelson - 16 Biggest Hits Vol.2 (2007) by Willie Nelson (보컬) on maniadb.com

All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
That I'm no good without you
Take my arms
I want to loose them
Take my lips
I'll never use them

Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
And I know that I
Am no good without you
You took the part
That once was my heart
So why not take all of me

(Repeat both verses)

Why not take all of me

It's been rough and rocky travelin',
But I'm finally standin' upright on the ground.
After takin' several readings,
I'm surprised to find my mind`s still fairly sound.

I guess Nashville was the roughest,
But I know I said the same about them all.
We received our education
In the cities of the nation, me and Paul.

Almost busted in Laredo,
But for reasons that I'd rather not disclose,
But if you're stayin' in a motel there and leave,
Just don't leave nothin' in your clothes.

And at the airport in Milwaukee,
They refused to let us board the plane at all,
They said we looked suspicious,
But I believe they like to pick on me and Paul.

I guess Nashville was the roughest,
But I know I said the same about them all.
We received our education
In the cities of the nation, me and Paul.

I'd have to be crazy
To stop all my singing
And never play music again.
You'd call me a fool
If I put on a top hat
And ran out to flag down the wind.
I'd have to be weird
To grow me a beard
Just to see what the rednecks would do.
I'd have to be crazy
Plum out of my mind
To fall out of love with you.
You know I
(and I don't intend to)
But should there come a day,
When I say that I don't love you
They'll lock me away ay ay.
It sure would be weird
To live in an envelope
Waiting along for a stamp
You'd swear I was loco
To rub for a genie
While burning my hand on the lamp
And I may not be normal
But nobody is
So I'd like to say 'fore I'm through
I'd have to be crazy
Plum out of my mind
To fall out of love with you

As I look at the letters that you wrote to me
it's you that I am thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so sweet
I remember our faded love
I miss you darling more and more every day
as heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat I still think of you
and remember our faded love

I think of the past and all the pleasures we've had
as I watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye
I remember our faded love
I miss you darling...

Oh since my baby left me I've found new place to dwell
Down at the end on Lonely Street at Heartbreak Hotel
I get so lonely baby I get so lonely baby I get so lonely I could die
And though it's always crowded you can still find some room
For broken hearted lovers to cry away the gloom
I get so lonely baby I get so lonely baby I get so lonely I could die

Well the bellhop's tears keep flowing the desk clerk's dressed in black
They've been so long on Lonely Street they'll never never never get back
I get so lonely baby I get so lonely baby I get so lonely I could die
So if your baby leaves and you got a tale to tell
Just take a walk down Lonely Street to Heartbreak Hotel
I get so lonely baby I get so lonely baby I get so lonely I could die

Oh since my baby left me...

I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive.

I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still.

I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and
around and around

I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you?
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?



Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

It might be in the middle of the afternoon
Maybe somewhere in the middle of the night
I might not be thinking anything at all
When a perfect stranger's face catches a certain light

And my heart jumps 'cause all at once
There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, as lovely as you'll always be
And here I go back into those memories
Where you are still in love with me

I know I'll never hold you in my arms again
I know I'll never hear you speak my name
I look around this lonely room and I can see
Your memory's the only thing that hasn't changed

And I close my eyes and every time
There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, as lovely as you'll always be
And here I go back into those memories
Where you are still in love with me

There you are still in love with me

A long time forgotten
are dreams that just felt by the way.
And the good life he promised
ain't what she's living to day.
But she never complains of
the bad times or bad things he's done
Lord.
She's just talks about the good times
they've had and all the good times to come.

She's a good hearted woman
in love with a good timin' man.
She loves him in spite of his ways
that she don't understand.
Through teardrops and laughter

they'll pass though his world hand in hand.
A good hearted woman
lovin' her good timin' man.

He likes the night life

the brightlights and good timin' friends.
when the party's all over
she welcome him back home again.
Lord knows she don't understand him
but she does the best that she can.
'Cause she's a good hearted woman
she loves her good timin' man.

She's a good hearted woman ...

I've got a real important job
In a large office buildin'
Ridin' people in an elevator

I drive a '57 Chevrolet
With busted tail lights
Burned out valves
And a leaky radiator

I wear a twenty dollar suit
I bought from J.C. Penney's
Back in 1962

But I've got somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about in you

I'm a short-order cook
At an all night cafe
Down on 18th avenue and 12th street

I wear a swingin' mini dress
That I made for myself
From mama's kitchen curtains
And old bed sheets

I've got 17 pages
Of Top Value stamps
And one old pair of shoes

But I've got somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about in you

When you're with the fellas, I know
You start braggin' 'bout
My hour glass figure
And my big brown eyes

Tell 'em
You tell your girlfriends 'bout my
Sweet, sweet lovin'
And that's one better that
Money can't buy

So let's get married
In the not-to-distant future
We'll rent a little flat
On 29th street

You know we'll hang our washin'
On the clothes line from the window
We'll feast on corn bread, butter beans and lunch meat

We won't have a thermostat
A big long Cadillac
But we'll have a love that's true

Love has, somethin' to brag about
Yeah and I'll have, somethin' to brag about
Yeah, somthin' to brag about in you.

My world is like a river as dark as it is deep
Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memories
Sweet memories sweet memories hmm

She slipped into the silence of my dreams last night
Wondering from room to room turning on each light
Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea
And I'm swept away from sadness clinging to her memories
Sweet memories sweet memories hmm

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me

Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't wanna be alone
Help me make it through the night

I love you I'll prove it in days to come
I swear it's true, darling you're the only one
I think of you of the past and all our fun
I love you I'll prove it in days to come

You're my darling you've been true
I should have been good to you
You're the one that's in my heart
While we're apart

I'll be true I'll prove it to you some day
I love you in my heart you'll always stay
I've been so blue and lonesome all these days
I love you I'll prove it a thousand ways

I'll be nice and sweet to you and no more will you be blue
I'll prove I love you every day all kinds of ways
So darling please wait, please wait until I'm free
There'll be a change, a great change made in me

I'll be true there'll never be a blue day
I love you I'll prove it a thousand ways

Without a song the day would never end
Without a song the road would never bend
When things go wrong a man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn would never see a plow
That field of corn would be deserted now
A man is born but he's no good no how
Without a song
I got my trouble and woe but, sure as I know, the Jordan will roll
And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know what makes that grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song
I've-a got my trouble and woe and, sure as I know, the Jordan will roll
And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul
I'll-a never know what makes that rain to fall
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song
