Goodbye blues I'm not gonna sing you no more I finally got my hands on what I'v been looking for I've found me a man that knows how to keep me eatin' from the palm of his hand Talk about sunshine I've got the sunshine man Man what a man what a man what a man my man is There's not a day when he doesn't say he needs me and loves me Man what a man what a man what a man my man is He's always around when I'm down the most with two lovin' arms to hold me close Man what a man what a man what a man my man is [ guitar ] Hello rainbow I've finally found your pot of gold
I finally got my hands on a real live dream I can hold I've found me a man that knows how to keep me sittin' up on cloud nine Talk about the music I hear it all the time Man what a man what a man...
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry. I was confused, you cleared my mind. I sold my soul, you bought it back for me And held me up and gave me dignity. Somehow you needed me. You gave me strength to stand alone again To face the world out on my own again. You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I can almost see eternity, you needed me, you needed me And I can't believe it's you, I can't believe it's true. I needed you and you were there and I'll never leave Why should I leave I'd be a fool Cause I've finally found someone who really cares.
You held my hand when it was cold. When I was lost, you took me home. You gave me hope, when I was at the end, And turned my lies back into truth again. You even called me friend. You gave me strength to stand alone again To face the world out on my own again. You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I can almost see eternity, you needed me, you needed me you needed me you needed me
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's got to be a little rain sometime When you take you got to give So live and let live or let go Oh, oh, oh, I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden I could promise you things Like big diamond rings But you don't find roses Growing on stalks of clover So you better think it over When it's sweet talking you could make it come true I would give you the world right now On a silver platter But what would it matter So smile for a while and let's be jolly Love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times While we can I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's got to be a little rain sometime
I beg your parden I never promised you a rose garden I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go But there's one thing I want you to know You better look before you leap Still waters run deep And there won't always be someone There to pull you out And you know what I'm talkin' about So smile for a while and let's be jolly Love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times While we can I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's got to be a little rain sometime I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman Givin' all your love to just one man You'll have ba-ad times and you'll have good times Doin' things that you don't understa-and
But if you love him, you'll forgive him Even though he's hard to understand A-and if you love him, hoh be proud of him 'Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man Give him two ar-arms to cling to And somethin' warm to come to When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your-our ma-a-an And show the wor-orld you love him Keep givin' all the love you ca-a-a-a-a-a-an Stand by your-our ma-an
Stand by your-our ma-an And show the wor-or-orld you love him Keep givin' all the love you ca-a-a-a-a-a-an Stand by your-our ma-an

I could build a mansion that is higher than the trees I could have all the gifts I want and never ask please I could fly to Paris it's at my back and call Why do I live my life with nothing at all But when I dream I dream of you
maybe some day you will come true
I can be the singer or the clown in any room I can even call up someone to take me to the moon I can put my make up on and drive a man insane I can go to bed alone and never know his name But when I dream I dream of you
maybe some day you will come true But when I dream I dream of you maybe some day you will come true

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green The snowbird sings the song he always sings And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring When I was young my heart was young then, too Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do But now I feel such emptiness within For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win Spread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snow back with you Where it came from on that day The one I love forever is untrue And if I could you know that I would Fly away with you The breeze along the river seems to say That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow Spread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snow back with you Where it came from on that day The one I love forever is untrue And if I could you know that I would Fly away with you Yeah, if I could I know that I would fl-y-y-y-y away with you
I could build a mansion that is higher than the trees I could have all the gifts I want and never ask please I could fly to Paris it's at my back and call Why do I live my life with nothing at all But when I dream I dream of you
