I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
Like you'd never been held before I'll think of you each day and then I'll dream the night away Till you're in my arms once more The stars up in the sky they know the reason why I feel so blue when I'm away from you I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms so darling please wait for me The stars up in the sky yes they know they know the reason why I feel so blue when I'm away yes when I'm away from you (I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms) Oh so darling please wait for me (please wait for me) |

Found some letters you wrote me this morning they told of a love we once knew
Now they're gone I'd burned them to ashes Don't want nothing to remind me of you Burning bridges behind me it's too late to turn back now Burning bridges behind me all I want is to forget you somehow Sold the house we once planned together said goodbye to friends we knew Then I moved to a faraway city trying hard to forget about you Burning bridges behind me... |

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning When through a sleepy haze I see her lyin' there Soft as the rain that falls on summer flowers Warm as the sunlight shinin' on her golden hair, mhm. When I wake and see her there so close beside me I want to take her in my arms The ache is there so deep inside me And nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning. Chasin' a rainbow in the dream so far away And when she turns to touch it I kiss her face so softly My Mary wakes to love another day, mhm. My Mary's there in sunny days or stormy weather She doesn't care 'cause right or wrong The love we share we share together And nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening. Kissed by the shades of night and starlight on her hair And as we walk I hold her close beside me Oh, how tomorrows for lifetime we'll share, mhm. Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening... |

She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles that weren't there yesterday
And thinks of the young man that she almost married What would he think if he saw her this way She picks up her apron in little girl fashion as something comes into her mind Then slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood And all of the boys she had waiting in line Ah such are the dreams of the everyday housewife You see everywhere anytime of the day And everyday housewife who gave up the good time for me The photograph album she takes from the closet and slowly turns the page And carefully picks up the crumbling flower The first one he gave her now withered with age She closes her eyes and touches the housedress that suddenly disappears And just for a moment she's wearing the gown That broke all their minds back so many years Ah such are the dreams... Ah such are the dreams... Ah such are the dreams... |

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes Watchin' the ships roll in Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Just sittin on the dock of the bay Wastin' ti-hi-hi-hi-hime I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay I have nothing to live for Look like nothings gonna come my way, yeah So I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Yes I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' ti-hi-hi-hi-hime Look like nothin's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So, I guess I'll remain the same Sittin' hear resting my bones And this lonliness won't leave me alone, yeah But two thousand miles I roam, Just to make this dock my home, yeah Now I'm sittin' at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away, yeah I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting ti-hi-hi-hi-hime |

God 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'll 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'll love me only And that you'll always let it be me. |

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowing I still see her dark eyes glowing She was 21 When I left Galveston Galveston, oh Galveston I still hear your sea waves crashing While I watch the cannons flashing I clean my gun And dream of Galveston I still see her standing by the water Standing there looking out to sea And is she waiting there for me? On the beach where we used to run Galveston, oh Galveston I am so afraid of dying Before I dry the tears she's crying Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun At Galveston, at Galveston |

- By The Time I Get To Phoenix -
By the time I get to Phoenix She'll be rising She'll find the note I left hangin' On her door She'll laugh when she reads the part That says I'm leavin' 'Cause I've left that girl So many times before By the time I make Albuquerque She'll be working She'll prob'ly stop at lunch And give me a call But she'll just hear that phone Keep on ringin' Off the wall that's all By the time I make Oklahoma She'll be sleepin' She'll turn softly and call my name out loud And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her Tho' time and time I try to tell her so She just didn't know I would really go |

The last time I saw her face
Her eyes were bathed in starlight and her hair hung long The last time she spoke to me Her lips were like the scented flowers Inside a rain-drenched forest But that was so long ago Zhat I can scarcely feel the way I felt before And if time could heal the wounds I would tear the threads away That I might bleed some more The last time I walked with her Her laughter was the steeple bells That ring to greet the morning sun A voice that the ground we walked upon Those were good days The last time I held her hand Her touch was autumn spring And summer and winter too The last time I let go of her She walked away into the night I lost her in the misty streets A thousand months, a thousand years When other lips will kiss her eyes A million miles beyond the moon, that's where she is The last time I saw her face Her eyes were bathed in starlight And million miles beyond the moon, that's where she is The last time I saw her face Her eyes were bathed in starlight And she was walked alone The last time she kissed my cheek Her lips were like the wilted leaves Upon the autumn covered hills Resting on the frozen ground The seeds of love lie cold and still Beneath a battered marking stone, it lies forgotten |

Living in the city
Ain't never been my idea Of getting it on But the job demands That you make new plans Before your big chance is gone You get a house in the hills You're paying everyones bills And they tell you that You're gonna go far But in the back of my mind I hear it time after time Is that who you really are Country boy You got your feet in L.A. But your mind's on Tennessee Looking back, I can Remember the time When I sang my songs for free Country boy You got your feet in L.A. Take a look at everything you own But now and then My heart keeps going home Talking on the telephone Setting up another day Of people to meet You've gotta do what's right You've gotta spend the night Staying in touch with the street When you're surrounded by friends They say the fun never ends But I guess I'll never figure it out Cause in the back of my mind I hear it time after time Is this what its all about Country boy You got your feet in L.A. But your mind's on Tennessee Looking back, I can Remember the time When I sang my songs for free Country boy You got your feet in L.A. Take a look at everything you own But now and then My heart keeps going home Country boy You got your feet in L.A. But your mind's on Tennessee Looking back, I can Remember the time When I sang my songs for free Country boy You got your feet in L.A. Take a look at everything you own But now and then My heart keeps going home |

And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain
My friend I'll say it clear I'll state my case of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full I traveled each and every highway And more much more than this I did it my way Regrets I've had a few but then again too few to mention I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption I planned each chartered course each careful step along the byway And more much more than this I did it my way Yes there were times I'm sure you knew when I bit off more than I could chew But through it all when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way I've lived I've laughed and cried I've had my fill my share of losing And now as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that and may I say not in a shy way Oh no oh no not me I did it my way For what is a man what has he got if not himself then he has not To say the things he truly feels and not the worlds of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows and did it my way yes it was my way |
