Jim Reeves - Legendary Jim Reeves (2001) by Jim Reeves (보컬) on maniadb.com

Adios amigo, adios my friend,
The road we have travelled has come to an end.
When two love the same love, one love has to lose,
And it's you who she longs for, it's you she will choose.

Adios compadre, what must be must be,
Remember to name one muchacho for me.
I ride to the Rio, where my life I must spend,
Adios amigo, adios my friend.

--- Instrumental while he whistles ---

Adios compadre, let us shed no tears,
May all your maanas bring joy through the years.
Away from these memories, my life I must spend,
Adios amigo, adios my friend...

--- Instrumental while he whistles to fade ---

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...

Might as well admit it, you don't really love me
You've been acting funny for so long
It hurts to think that you think you're above me
But it hurts more to admit that I've been wrong.

Need a bottle and a table, I can find those
Maybe they will help speed up time's crazy crawl
Might as well go around and join the winos
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?

Yes, pride goes before a fall I've got a feeling
That I'm gonna seek much more than them all
When we first met I lived way above the city
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?

Pour the wine, dim the lights and play the jukebox
Dance with every Sue and Betty that's around
Take her out and try your luck that's what's expected
What's the difference it can't bring your honour down?

You are now a full fledged member of the rat race
Forget everything that's decent, have a ball
What's the difference if you die in this old bad place
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?

(What's the difference if you die in this old bad place)
Ain't it funny how pride goes before a fall?...

You are my darlin'
There's no one but you
And to you I'll be true
Our whole life through.

Heaven in smilin'
Because you love me
It' as plain as can be
You're my love.

Ask the stars that shine
There above you
Who loves you
And needs you tonight.
They'll tell you it's
I who love you
And I'm lonely when
You're out of my sight.

You are my darlin'
There's no one but you
And to you I'll be true
Our whole life through.

Heaven in smilin'
Because you love me
It' as plain as can be
You're my love...

(Am I that easy to forget)
They say you've found somebody new but that won't stop my loving you
I just can't let you walk away forget the love I had for you
Guess I could find somebody too but I don't want no one but you
How could you leave without regret am I that easy to forget
Before you leave be sure you find you want his love much more than mine
Cause I'll just say we've never met if I'm that easy to forget
[ strings ]
Before you leave be sure you find...

I've been accused, convicted and condemned
The trial's over, and now I face the end,
Is this your way of telling me we're through
When all I'm guilty of, is loving you.

You were the judge, the jury all in one
You found me guilty and now my term's begun.
I must confess, I've never been untrue
And all I'm guilty of, is loving you.

Chorus:
Loving you, and now I'm losing you
Losing you, for things I didn't do.

Please let your heart, consider an appeal
For now you know, exactly how I feel.
Don't punish me for things I didn't do
When all I'm guilty of, is loving you.

Yes, all I'm guilty of, is loving you...

When you are gone
There's no fun with the crowd
I find myself crying
Even crying out loud.

I could find fun
But I'd still be alone
'Cause my world simply stands still
When you are gone.

When you are gone
My heart knows it well
And it just won't believe
These stories I tell.

Just can't get used to
This being alone
And there's nothing to live for
When you are gone.

--- Instrumental ---

When you are gone
My heart knows it well
And it just won't believe
All these stories I tell.

Just can't get used to
This being alone
And there's nothing to live for
When you are gone...

ANNA MARIE.

TONIGHT WHILE THE SNOWFLAKES ARE FALLING
HERE I MY DREAMS I CAN SEE
THE WHITE CHERRY BLOSSOMS OF SHAMON
WHERE I WALKED WITH ANNA MARIE

ANNA MARIE, ANNA MARIE, MY HEART REMEMBERS AND SIGHS
CE VOUS, CE VOUS, BE AMI BEAUCOUP
I MISS YOU ANNA MARIE

MY HEART WAS PLEDGED TO ANOTHER
BUT I KNEW AS I CROSSED THE SEA
THAT I'D NEVER LOVED ANY OTHER
AS I LOVED MY ANNA MARIE

ANNA MARIE, ANNA MARIE, MY HEART REMEMBERS AND SIGHS
CE VOUS, CE VOUS, BE AMI BEAUCOUP

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...

I heard the pitter patter
Of a slow winter rain
I heard the lonesome whistle
Of a far away train.

As I sat in the silence
Broken only by a train
I heard a heartbreak last night.

Oh, how you cried
When we said goodbye
As we stood at
The station in the rain
And a whisper was saying
From a pine tree close by
When we heard
The whistle of your train.

I heard the moans of sobbing
Of the wind in the sign
I felt the cold icy finger
Of fear from the spine.
For I knew in my heart
You'd never be mine
And I heard a heartbreak last night.

For I knew in my heart
You'd never be mine
And I heard a heartbreak last night...

Welcome to my world.
Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in
Miracles I guess
Still happen now and then
Step into my heart
Leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world
Built with you in mind
Knock and the door will open
Seek and you will find
Ask and you will be given
The key to this world of mine
I'll be waiting here
With my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world

Each time I touch a rose petal
And breathe the sweet fragrance it brings
I know there's a God up in heaven
No human could create these things.

The dogwood, the oak and the willow
So gracefully wave in the breeze
The dogwood, I'll always remember
My Lord, died upon one of these.

The sunset in its golden splendor
Such colors no artist can do
I know when I look on its beauty
Each page in the Bible is true.

No picture or painting can capture
The beauty of any of these
The handwork of God is revealed in
The flowers, the sunset, the trees...

A rose should be
Where the sun shines through
Not where the wine is red
And the smoke is blue.

A rose should be
Blooming in the light
Not in a randezvous
Blooming in the night.

And you are a rose
May be a wild rose
But I'll be proud to take you home
For all to see.

To stand with me
Where the candles glow
With orange blossoms
All around the wild, wild rose.

--- Instrumental ---

And you are a rose
May be a wild rose
But I'll be proud to take you home
For all to see.

To stand with me
Where the candles glow
With orange blossoms
All around the wild, wild rose...

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.

Where does a broken heart go?
Does it just fade away?
Is it lost forever?
Will it live again someday?

How can a broken heart
Live on with more than its share
When it knows the game is lost
And it's hopeless to care?

When a heart has taken
'Bout all it can stand
Is it then protected
With God's loving hand?

Where does a broken heart go
When it dies of pain?
Is there a heaven for broken hearts
Will it live again?

--- Instrumental ---

Is it then protected
With God's loving hand?

Where does a broken heart go
When it dies of pain?
Is there a heaven for broken hearts
Will it live again?...

Not until the next time
Will I cry all night for you
Yes, I'll stop loving you
Until the next time.

Here I am the way you left me
With a heart so full of pain
As I look into the past
I see the picture once again.

Each time I let it happen
I vow this is the end
And I stopped loving you
Until the next time.

Not until the next time
Will I cry all night for you
And listen when you beg me
For a chance when your untrue.

Not until the next time
Will my heart let me forgive
Yes, I'll stop loving you
Until the next time.

Once again I take your picture
And place it out of sight
And I put away the record
We listen to each night.

I rearrange each little thing thing
As I've done so many times
And I won't put them back
Until the next time.

Not until the next time
Will I cry all night for you
And listen when you beg me
For a chance when your untrue.

Not until the next time
Will my heart let me forgive
Yes, I'll stop loving you
Until the next time...

Am I losing you?
Are my fears coming true?
How I wish I knew,
Am I losing you?

Is your love really true?
Is there somebody new?
Tell me what to do.
Am I losing you?

Am I too blind to see
What's then happ'ning to me?
Ev'ry road has a bend.
Will I be sweetheart or friend?

Will the sweet things you do
Be for somebody new?
Tell me what to do.
Am I losing you?

Instrumental

Ev'ry road has a bend.
Will I be sweetheart or friend?

Will the sweet things you do
Be for somebody new?
Tell me what to do.
Am I losing you?

(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 love you more, love you more)
(Love you more, love you more)

I love you more than every wave that breaks upon
Some far and distant lonely island shore
I love you more than every drop of rain that falls
With every drop that falls I love you more.

At night I watch the moon on high
And count the stars up in the sky
For every star that shines tonight
My love for you is just as bright.

I love you more
Forever I'll be true to you
I know you'll always love me true
Forever more.

--- Instrumentral ---

At night I watch the moon on high
And count the stars up in the sky
For every star that shines tonight
My love for you is just as bright.

I love you more
Forever I'll be true to you
I know you'll always love me true
Forever more...

Missing you, can't help but wish that you
Were in my arms tonight, making love to me
Kissing you, that's all I want to do
It never seems just right now that we're apart.

I always spend my time
just writing lines to you
Can't wait for you to write
saying you love me too

Missing you can't help but wish that you
were in my arms tonight making love to me
(I always spend my time just writing lines to you)
(Can't wait for you to write saying you love me too.)

Missing you can't help but wish that you
Were in my arms tonight making love to me...

I love you because you understand, dear
Every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear
I love you most of all because you're you.

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

--- Instrumental ---

I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness, you open wide.

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you...

With pen in hand, I try to write this note to you
I know now where I stand but what am I to do
I found so many things to say since we're so far apart
How can I write on paper what I feel in my heart?

How can I write on paper, what I'm feeling deep inside
Words to you would last no longer, then it take tear to dry
A love as sweet as your and mine, deserve another start
How can I write on paper what I feel in my heart?

Those simple things you gave are worth the world to me
And each up when I cling to you can take memories
So many things were left unsaid, I don't know where to start
How can I write on paper what I feel in my heart?

How can I write on paper, what I'm feeling deep inside
Words to you would last no longer, then it take tear to dry
A love as sweet as your and mine, deserve another start
How can I write on paper what I feel in my heart?

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

I'm calling to tell you its over
Yes darling, you're now free to go.
You're saying you're sorry you hurt me
But you hurt me much more than you know.
You're asking me where this call comes from
Oh, I hope you won't end up here.
If your new romance turns out a failure,
Here's where you'll find me my dear.

chorus

I'm just on the blue side of lonesome
Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops
On a bar stool, not doing so well.

The floor has a carpet of sorrows,
Yet no one can weep in the aisle.
And they say someone broke the bar mirror,
With only the ghost of a smile.
The hands on the clock never alter,
For things never change in this place.
There's no present, no past, no future,
We're the ones who have lost in loves race.

chorus

Soft as the voice of an angel
Breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers a comforting word.

Wait, till the darkness is over
Wait, till the tempest is done
Hope, for the sunshine tomorrow
After the darkness is gone.

Whispering hope,
Oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart
Any sorrow rejoice.

If in the dusk of the twilight
Dimmed be the region afar
Will not the deepening darkness
Brightin' the glittering star.

Then when the night is upon us
Why should the heart sink away
When the dark midnight is over
Watch for the breaking of day.

Whispering hope,
Oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart
Any sorrow rejoice...

Last night was the worst night of my life no doubt
'Cause while I stayed at home someone else took you out
I cried 'cause I love you with all of my might
And I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night.

Chorus:
I missed holding hands walking out on your lawn
I missed the sweet kiss that was mine for so long
Were you happy with new arms
Wrapped around you so tight
I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night.

--- Instrumental ---

Did the neighbours say they noticed anything strange
Like a different car parked in your drive for a change
Did they watch as he kissed you beneath the porch light
Did they miss me like I missed me at your house last night.

Chorus:
I missed holding hands walking out on your lawn
I missed the sweet kiss that was mine for so long
Were you happy with new arms
Wrapped around you so tight
I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night...

(Overnight, Overnight, Overnight, Overnight, Overnight)

I met you on the Sunday night by that Monday morning
Overnight although I wondered
Overnight what's wrong with me
Overnight love walked right in and shook me like a tree.

Oh, I sat down when I got home and gave my heart a warnin'
Overnight I dreamed about you
Overnight while count the sheep
Overnight I felt for you so hard I couldn't sleep.

All night long I wished you were my own
And when I came to I was huggin' you like a hound dog hugs a bone
All night long my heart was standing still
And when I got up I pitched myself to see if this was real.

Then you came by and told me dear the same sweet Monday morning
Overnight you dreamed about me
Overnight you loved me too
Overnight we found the dream that really did come true.

(All night long I wished you were my own)
When I came to I was huggin' you like a hound dog hugs a bone
All night long my heart was standing still
And when I got up I pitched myself to see if this was real.

Then you came by and told me dear the same sweet Monday morning
Overnight you dreamed about me
Overnight you loved me too
Overnight we found the dream that really did come true.

Really did come true, that really did come true...

Two partners went in search of gold
As friendly as could be
One was young and one was old
And the gay young fool was me.

Since neighter one could write his name
We swore upon our souls
To share the wealth and then shook hands
The hands that dug for gold. (oh, partners)

The summer days were gone at last
And winter nights grew cold
The snow had trapped us in the pass
When we finally find the gold.

We took our fortune to the shack
To wait the winter through
But the food ran low so I killed my friend
What else was there to do? (oh, partners)

I threw his body just outside
Into the bitter cold
Somehow I had to stay alive
I now had all the gold.

But the howling wind just seemed to say
You have killed a man
And you'll never get to spend the gold
With the blood upon your hands. (oh, partners)

The cabin's covered now with snow
And shelves of food are bare
Satan's waitin' for me now
And I'm too cold to care.

Is that the devil at the door
Coming for my soul
Or is it just the old man
A looking for his gold? (oh, partners)...

The chimes of time ring out the news
Another day is through
Some one slipped and fell,
Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength
Your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened
I have news for you.

Chorus:
It is no secret what God can do,
What he has done for others,
He'll do for you.
With arms wide open,
He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do.

There is no night, for in His light
You'll never walk alone.
You'll always feel at home wherever you may roam,
There is no power can conquer you,
While God is on your side.
Take Him at His promise,
Don't run away and hide.

Chorus:
It is no secret what God can do,
What he has done for others,
He'll do for you.
With arms wide open,
He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do...

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

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)...
