Tammy Wynette

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times, and he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him, you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, oh be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man.
Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man.

> Empty, I was just an empty shell 'til I met you
Hungry, just another hungry heart 'til I found you
Loving, loving was a feeling I never knew
Dying, I was dying for the life time with you
Your love is my breathe of life
Your love blows me away
I wasn't born yesterday
But I just started living today
Touching, there was lightning in the night when I touch you
And dancing, dancing in your loving arms, I wanted you
A love song swaying to the records that jukebox played
Living, I started living when you loved me each day
Your love is my breathe of life
Your love blows me away
I wasn't born yesterday
But I just started living today
Your love is my breathe of life
Your love blows me away
I wasn't born yesterday
But I just started living today
Yes, I just started living today

We always wanted a big two story house
Back when we lived in that little two room shack
We wanted fame and fortune
And we'd live life the way the rich folks do
We knew some how we'd make it, together me and you

With dreams and hopes of things to come
We worked and never stopped
Not much time for you and me
We had to reach the top

We bought that big two story house
And soon became the envy of the town
With all our work behind us
We'd finally settled down

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
Whoa, what splendor
But there's no love about

I've got my story
And I've got mine, too
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

The house is filled with rare antiques
There's marble on the floor
Beauty all around us
Like we've never seen before

There's chandeliers in every room
Imported silks and satin all about
We filled the house with everything
But somehow left love out

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
Oh what splendor
But there's no love about

I've got my story
And I've got mine, too
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

> If anyone could find the joy
That true love brings a girl and boy
We could, we could, you and I
If anyone could ever say
That their true love was here to stay
We could, we could, you and I
When you're in my arms
I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you
I'm happy anywhere
If anyone could pray each night
And thank the Lord that all is right
We could, we could, you and I
When you're in my arms
I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you
I'm happy anywhere

If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It's no secret you'll feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream oh don't you sometimes think it's real
But it's only false emotions that you feel
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep gettin' bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your head down and go on and cry
If your heartaches seem..

I put my little girl to bed with teardrops in her eyes
All day I've tried to comfort her and louder were her cries
I left her there to say her prayers and stepped outside the door
The prayer I heard was one I knew I'd never heard before
Please have my mommy ask my daddy to come home
Sometimes I try and get my way and mommy's so alone
She told me once that when I'm right I never should give in
So if at first I don't succeed I'll cry cry again

I know our little girl is right and we're both in the wrong
And so I've called you up tonight to ask you please come home
I can't go on or stand for long the way she cries today
And I can't go to sleep tonight because I heard her pray
Please have my mommy...

You saw me crying in the chapel.
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I am happy with the Lord

Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day

I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind

Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way

Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way

Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me that look in your eyes pulls me apart
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Oh don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
Your kiss is like a drink when I'm thirsty
Oh and I'm thirsty for you with all my heart
But don't love me then act as though we never kissed
Oh don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart
Now don't give me something that you might take way
To have you then lose you wouldn't be smart on my part
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Oh don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

I was a waitress in a barroom no future in sight
And he was just lonely when he came there that night
Then someone played the jukebox and he asked me to dance
And when he softly held me I thought it's my chance
To be good like I want to be that's what he's saw in me
Not just a girl on the wrong side of town
Good like I used to be he brought it out in me
And that's when I promised that I'd never let him down

Now I'm back here in a barroom a waitress again
The good world I've lived in just came to an end
For temptation comes easy to a woman like me
And regardless of my chances I know that I'll never be
Good like I used to be I guess it's just not in me
With all my heart how I wish I prove
I've been good like he wanted me but good is what I'll never be
And now I know that he's gone for good

See the tree how big it's grown but that it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
You laughed at me and I got mad the first day that I planted it was just a twig
Then the first snow came and I ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited slipped and almost hurt myself and you laughed till you cried
Yes you were always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved you so
You surprised me with a puppy kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And you could sure embarrass me when you came home from working late
Cause you would know
That I'd been all alone and cryin' over some sad and lonely late late show
And honey I miss you too and I know you're being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
I wrecked the car and I was sad and so afraid that you'd be mad but what the heck
All afternoon you stormed around but I knew how to cool you down I hugged your neck
You came home unexpectedly and caught me crying needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robins sing I went away
And honey I miss you too and I know you're being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
One day you were not at home while I was there and all alone the angels came
Guess you thought it strange of me to live the way I did that day it was a shame
But now your laughter just began and even though you miss me hon you must go on
And when the snow fly passes overhead and cries down on my flower bed
You know you're not alone
See the tree how big it's grown but that it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
You laughed at me and I got mad the first day that I planted it was just a twig

I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for every one who goes astray someone will come to show the way
I believe I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a new born baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
Every time I hear...

Accident'ly in your arms and that's all it took
Knowing how you want and need me with just one look
To leave you now is something you should know that I can't do
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you
Long enough to know that what I feel won't go away
Just lookin' won't be near enough after today
Everything I need is everything I see in you
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you
[ steel ]
Yes everything I need...
I stayed just long enough to fall in love with you

The chimes of time ring out the news another day is through
Someone slipped and fell was that someone you
You may have long for added strength your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened for I bring hope to you
It is no secret what God can do what he's done for others he'll do for you
With arms wide open he'll pardon you it is no secret what God can do
With arms wide open he'll pardon you it is no secret what God can do

I'll live every day for you and I'll breath ever breath for you
So if I'm mean and make you blue it's my way of loving you
If I say that you're untrue and it breaks your heart in two
I can't help the things I do it's my way of loving you

Try to understad my love look into my heart
Don't you know I'd want to die if we ever part
All my life I'm gonna love you so there may be times it may not show
That my love for you is true it's my way of loving you
If I say that you're untrue...
It's my way of loving you

Kiss away kiss away guess that's all that's left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Smile again let me smile again make this life worth live again
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Only you can change these sad and blue days only you can make them I-love-you days
Kiss away kiss away still there's nothing left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Only you can change...

The baby cries I could almost die from lonesome
The late show's gone and the coffee's on think I'll read some
Somewhere out there my love you share and your thoughts are far from home
But when the lights on Broadway go off and every honky tonk is closed up
My arms stay open late so you'll come home
What you do is wrong but my love stays strong for you
I don't think I'll change a thing at all I might lose you
Though it's almost dawn and you're still not home I'll wait here patiently
The lights to my love never go off and the door to my heart don't close up
My arms stay open late so you'll come home
My arms stay open late so you'll come home

It was the third of June another sleepy dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was bailin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered at the backdoor y'all remember to wipe your feet
And then she said I got the news this mornin' from Choctaw Wridge
Today Billie Joe Macallister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Papa said to mama as he passed around the black eyed peas
Well Billie Joe never had a lick of sense pass the biscuits please
There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow
And mama said it was a shame about Billie Joe anyhow
Seems like nothing ever comes to no good upon Choctaw Wridge
And now Billie Joe Macallister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night
I'll have another piece of apple pie you know it don't seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday upon Choctaw Wridge
And now you tell me Billie Joe has jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Mama said to me child what's happened to your apetite
Well I've been cookin' all mornin' and you haven't touched a single bite
That nice young preacher brother Tailor dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday oh by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you upon Choctaw Wridge
She and Billie Joe was throwin' somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge
One year has come and gone since we heard the news about Billie Joe
Brother married Becky Thompson and they bought a store in Tupelo
There was virus goin' round papa caught it and he died last spring
And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything
And me I spent a lot of time pickin' flowers upon Chotaw Wridge
And dropped 'em into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

I hear footsteps slow-owly walking
As they gently walk acro-oss a lonely floor
And a voice that's so-oftly saying
Darling this will be goodby-ye for evermore

There goes my reason for li-ivi-ing
There goes the one of my-y drea-eams
There goes my only posse-ession
There goes my everything

As my memory turns back the pa-ages
I can see the happy year-ears we had before
And the love that kept this cold heart beating
Has been shattered by the clo-osing of a door

There goes my reason for li-ivi-ing
There goes the one of my-y drea-eams
There goes my only posse-ession
There goes my everything

Walk through this world with me go where I go
Share all my dreams with me I need you so
In life we search and some of us find I've looked for you a long long time
And now that I found you new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
[ guitar ]
Walk through this world with me go where I go
Share all my dreams with me I've searched for you so
And now that I found you new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the girl I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me oh yesterday came suddenly
Why did he have to go I don't know he wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away oh I believe in yesterday I believe in yesterday

Time won't ease my memory it's killing me now
And Lord how I need him here just to feel him near and hear him breathing
Still the night goes on and on another lonely song I'm singing
Lord don't think bad of me don't get mad at me you know I'm weak
And it couldn't cause a whole lot of harm to be in somebody's arms
Cause she's in his I know she is I know she is but God I love him
And though I shouldn't give a damn that's the way I am now
And Lord guess I'll stay this way I can't play this way just because I'm lonely
Still the night goes on and on another lonely song I'm singing
Lord don't look down on me don't frown on me let's just keep talking
[ strings ]
Another lonely song I'm singing

Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tear the heart right out of me.

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E; becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

Watch him smile, he thinks it Christmas
Or his 5th Birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
And turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's drippin' down my cheek.

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E; becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

Good lovin' keeps a home together.
Good lovin' sure can make it right.
If you never wanna be without him,
It means loving everything about him.
And that keeps your man around at night.
It takes a whole lotta woman to hold it together today.
'Cos a lot of other women have a whole lotta time to play.
You gotta be a Saint on Sunday morning, a devil on Saturday night.
And when you're lovin' do it right.
Oh, she's around every corner, wrapped in fur,
And you've gotta be just a little bit better than her.
A little bit sweeter with your morning kisses,
A whole lot warmer in the night.
With a lot of good lovin' to make everything all right.
Good lovin' keeps a home together.
Good lovin' sure can make it right.
If you never wanna be without him,
It means loving everything about him.
And that keeps your man around at night.
If you don't believe what I'm telling you is so,
Put your man right out on the street and watch him go,
Right to the arms of a woman, who couldn't even hold you a light,
When a lot of good lovin' woulda made everything all right.
If you don't believe what I'm telling you is so,
Put your man right out on the street and watch him go,
Right to the arms of a woman, who couldn't even hold you a light,
When a lot of good lovin' woulda made everything all right.
Yeah, a lot of good lovin' woulda made everything all right.

Today I sat alone at the window
And I watched our little girl outside at play
With the little boy next door
Like so many times before
But somethin' didn't seem quite right today
So I went outside to see what they were doin'
And then the teardrops made my eyes grow dim
'Cause I heard him name a game
And I hung my head in shame
When I heard our little girl say to him
I don't wanna play house
I know it can't be fun
I've watched mommy and daddy
And if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house
It makes my mommy cry
'Cause when she played house
My daddy said goodbye

Sometimes, I wonder if he loves me like he used to
So many things bring doubt to my mind
It's only natural for a woman to sit and worry
And search for all the faults, she can find

Last night I waited up, it seemed forever
And I'm not even sure when he came in
To make things worse he never tried to wake me
And offered no excuse for where he'd been

But I'll see him through
For better, for worse, Lord knows it's true
'Cause I love him, I'll see him through
He gave me love when I needed it bad
He was the only thing on earth that I had
And that's the reason that I'll see him through

I'll see him through
He gave me love when I needed it bad
He was the only thing on earth that I had
And that's the reason that, I'll see him through
And that's the reason that, I'll see him through

My man understands, he holds me in the palm of his hand and
I like it ,I like it.
He's a dream, the real thing ,he always makes me feel like a queen
and I love it, I love it.
His arms, are warm, they keep me away from harm and I'm proud of it ,so proud of it.
He's mine, he's fine, he makes a funny feeling go up my spine
And I wanna keep it like this all the time.

He's got what I want,when I want it ,he's got what I need,when I need it,
I'd fight a million, just to keep it,Just to keep on holding to the precious love he gives me

How I hate, to sit and wait ,when I know he's got to work late
I can't stand it, can't stand it.
But when, he walks in ,and I'm in his lovin' arms again
I forget it ,I.... forget it.
His touch, is too much, he knows how to love me just enough
and I love him, I love him.
My man, understands ,he holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this, all the time.

He's got what I want ,when I want it,He got what I need, when I need it, I'd fight a million, just to keep it. Just to keep on holding to the precious love he gives me.
My man understands, he holds me in the palm of his hand
And I wanna keep it like this all the time,
Yeah I wanna keep it like this all the time.

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times, and he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him, you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, oh be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man.
Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man.

I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
Right now I'm like a wounded bird hungry for the sky
But if I try my wings and try long enough I'm bound to learn to fly
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
My door to love has opened up more times than in
I'm either fool or wise enough to open it again
Cause I'll never know what's beyond that mountain till I reach the other side
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right
If practice makes perfect then I'm near bout as perfect as I'll ever be in my life
So I'll just keep on falling in love till I get it right

if you think you got your man in the palm of your hand
you better listen mmmmm
and if you think you've got it made and his love will never fade
you better listen

she's out there too
and she's a whole lot better lookin than me and you
and she can do things to a man
you never dreamed a woman can do

if you think you keep your man with a golden weddin band
you better listen
and if your sittin there at home thinkin how good you turn him on
you better listen

she's sweet when she talks and she bounces all over when she walks
and shse's forgot more about a man then your sweet mama ever told
you
i'm talkin to you woman to woman
heart to heart
i'm singin straight to you
just woman to woman
right from my heart
and you can take it or leave it
oh but it's true
woman to woman
from me to you

I can hear the rain, it's falling softly,
As I watch him lying next to me.
I can feel his heart, its beating softly:
He just loved me, so tenderly,
But it should be......
You and me.
When he touches me, I feel your fingers.
And each time we kiss, I see your face.
When he locks the door behind us,
Then he thinks the world can't find us,
But he can't see, no, he can't see,
That it should be......
You and me.
So I'll just close my eyes and dream about you,
'Cos everytime I dream you're always there.
Then you'll lock the door behind us,
And in my dreams the world can't find us.
And it will be, so real to me.
It's finally......
You and me.

In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display

(G.J)
She smiles n' nods her head
As he says, "Honey that's for you,
It's not much, but it's the best
That I can do."

Chorus-both
Golden rings (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Waiting there (waiting there) for someone to take you home
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

(T.W.)
In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon
An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune
(G.J.)
Tears roll down her cheeks
And happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low, "With this ring, I thee wed."

Chorus- both
Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Shining ring (shining ring) now at last it's found a home
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

Ooo-ooo
(T.W.)
In a small two room apartment
As they fought their final round
He says, "You won't admit it,
But I know you're leavin' town."

(G.J.)
She says, "One thing's for certain,
I don't love you any more."
And throws down the ring
As she walks out the door

Chorus- both
Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Cast aside (cast aside) like the love that's dead and gone
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

(Both)
In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display,
Golden ring.

I'd followed me to Texas I'd followed me to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I'd followed you to Alabam things look good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
I had your child in Memphis you heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on
And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us moves on
Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on alone
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams

There's just one place for me
Near you

It's like heaven to be
Near you

Times when we're apart
And I can't face my heart

Say you'll never stay
More than just two lips away

If my hours could be spent
Near you

I'd be more than content
Near you

Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you

near you - near you
Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll spend the rest of my days
Near you

Spend the rest of my days
Near you

[Tammy Wynette - T.W.]
[George Jones - G.J]

[G.J.]
You always said someday you'd go to live
(In Southern California)
And me I'd stay right here in Tennessee

You always talked about the better days
(In Southern California)
But if you'll stay in Tennessee
I promise there'll be better days with me

[T. W.]
It's not that I don't love you
But I hear the call
(From Southern California)
There's something I can't find in Tennessee

Silver screens and limousines
They wait for me in Southern California

Though you've been so good to me
The time has come you'll have to set me free

[G.J.]
Tomorrow when you leave
You'll take my heart
(To Southern California)
But just remember I'll be here
To keep your heart with me until you see

[T.W. speaks]
Well, it's been five years
N' I guess I've cried a million tears
Lookin' out the window of this little room
Right over that flashin' neon sign that says, "Bar"
It's almost midnight,
An time to go downstairs and go to work
I wonder how he's doin' in, Tennessee?

[G.J. spoken]
Well, here I sit by the window
Of this big old lonely mansion
Lookin' out over the Smokies
And on in everything I can see

Oh, I guess by now she's found
What she was lookin' for
And as I look at this old faded photograph
Of the girl that I still love
I wonder if she ever, thinks of me

[Both]
But the weather's good
In Southern California.

Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more

Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me

There's not any mountain to rugged to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Darlin', if you would just show a sign
Of love, I could bear with all loss

Take me to Siberia
And the coldest weather of the winter time
And it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine

Yes, it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine

Take me, take me
