Hold back the rushing minutes, make the wind lie still
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill Dry all the raindrops then hold back the sun My world has ended, my baby's gone The milkman whistles softly as he comes up to my door The mailman brings a letter just like he did before They seem so busy all day long as though there's nothing wrong Don't they know the world has ended, my baby's gone Hold back the rushing minutes, make the wind lie still Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill Dry all the raindrops then hold back the sun My world has ended, my baby's gone I wake up sometimes in the night and realize you're gone And then I toss upon my bed and wait for day to come I tried to tell my lonely heart it must go on alone But it cries the world has ended, my baby's gone Hold back the rushing minutes, make the wind lie still Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill Dry all the raindrops then hold back the sun My world has ended, my baby's gone My world has ended, my baby's gone |

You make my eyes run over all the time
You're happy when I'm out of my mind You don't love me, but you won't let me be Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me [Chorus] You must think I look bad with a smile For you haven't let me wear one In such a long, long while Still I keep running back, why must this be Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me Someone must have hurt you long ago But why take revenge on one who loves you so You don't need me, but you won't let me be Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me [Chorus] Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me |

Found some letters that you wrote me this mornin'
And they told of a love we once knew Now they're gone, I burned them to ashes Don't want nothin' to remind me of you. Burning bridges behind me It's to late to turn back now Burning bridges behind me All I want is to forget you somehow. Sold the house we once planned together I said goodbye to the friends we once knew Then I moved to a faraway city Trying hard to forget about you. Burning bridges behind me It's to late to turn back now Burning bridges behind me All I want is to forget you somehow. All I want is to forget you somehow |

(Spoken)
He kisses her goodbye, And heads for the radio station. Oh, he hates to leave her, But he's got another show to do. He knows she gets lonely, So he lets her know that he's thinking about her. And though millions are listening, She knows who he's talking to. Chorus: (Sang) Comin' to you live like I do every night From the heart of your radio. I play a little sad, and I play a lotta glad. And a few ol' cheatin' songs. Here's hopin' everybody out in radio land Found a love just as true as mine Good night angel, sleep tight darlin' Close your pretty brown eyes. When the show is over, Your radio lover Will be home by your side. She's laying in bed As her DJ tells her that he loves her. It would break his heart If he knew she wasn't there alone. She knows when to cheat And when to tell her lover to leave her. She knows they'll be safe Just as long as his show goes on. (Spoken) He planned a surprise For the night of their first anniversary. He taped his show just so he could be home. The radio was playing and, As he walked in on her and her lover, He heard himself saying The last words that they ever heard. Chorus: (Sang) Comin' to you live like I do every night From the heart of your radio. I play a little sad, and I play a lotta glad. And a few ol' cheatin' songs. Here's hopin' everybody out in radio land Found a love just as true as mine Good night angel, sleep tight darlin' Close your pretty brown eyes. When the show is over, Your radio lover Will be home by your side. Chorus: (Sang) Comin' to you live like I do every night From the heart of your radio. I play a little sad, and I play a lotta glad. And a few ol' cheatin' songs. Here's hopin' everybody out in radio land... |

For thirty some odd years he faced a grinder in the city,
hustlin' day in day out just tryin' to survive, he bought his wife the finer things, and sent his kids to collage, that always took what little bit he tried to put aside, But thru it all he had one thing that seemed to keep him going, a dream that someday he could leave this city life behind, I watched his hair turn thin and gray, but his dream never faded, he told me all about it at least a thousand times. Chorus: He always wanted, a place out in the country, where the birds sing, in the morning, and the grass is emerald green, a place where, he could feel the mornin' sunshine, and sit out in the evenin', where the air is, fresh and clean. It took lots of overtime to keep his wife up with the jonses, and more to get his son out of his run-ins with the law, the more it took the more he gave, never once complaining, I don't know how he ever stood the pressure of it all. I never thought he'd make it, but he finally left the city, and now he's got that special little place to call his own, today I took a ride out in the country just to see him, it wasn't hard to find because his name was on the stone. Chorus: He always wanted, a place out in the country, where the birds sing, in the morning, and the grass is emerald green, a place where, he could feel the mornin' sunshine, and sit out in the evenin', where the air is, fresh and clean. Chorus: He always wanted, a place out in the country, where the birds sing, in the morning, and the grass is... |

Love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be Blues that keep on bothering me Change that just won't set me free To far away from you and all you're charms Just out of reach of my two empty arms. Each night in dreams I see your face Memories time can not erase Then I awake and find you gone I'm so blue and all alone So far away from lips so sweet and warm Just out of reach of my two empty arms. Ah honey, you know that old lonesome feeling that I have all the time It's just knowing that I know you'll never be mine And the dreams that always keeps on hurting in my mind I know we're only bound that she and I could never be. To far away from lips so sweet and warm Just out of reach of my two empty arms. Just out of reach of my two empty arms |

She was holding back the tears
As I packed up the last few years And said, "I'm tired of being so tied down" I'm sure the kids will understand That daddy's making other plans I grab my bags and I was freedom bound And then I saw the writing on the wall It said, "We love you daddy most of all" There in purple crayons, scribbled knee high in the hall I saw the writing on the wall When the [Incomprehensible] wore off, of being free Their memories started haunting me I headed home as fast as I could go My keys still fit that same ol' door But no one lived there anymore And that tender message made my tear drops flow And then I saw the writing on the wall It said, "We love you daddy most of all" There in purple crayons, scribbled knee high in the hall I saw the writing on the wall, I saw the writing on the wall |
