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? 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? 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 ... |

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 |

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 |
