Vince Gill

You were like a lost kid looking for home
You found what you wanted right in my arms

If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go
I love you so you're never alone

If you find another one turns your head
And you can't understand why it hurts so bad

If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go

If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go
I love you so you're never alone

Girl you're never alone
Never alone

No other lover ever really cared
When i've reached out for you you've always been there
Now i'm so far away and baby i'm scared
I never knew lonely til you

You are my rock and the strength i need
To keep me sane in this life that i lead
Now i'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two

I never loved someone like i love you
I never knew lonely til you

I can't make up for the times i've been gone
But i'll prove i love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms girl it's where i belong
I never knew lonely til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like i love you
I never knew lonely til you

I rushed home from work like i always do
I spent my whole day just thinking of you
When i walked through the front door my whole like was changed
Cause nobody answered when i called your name

A note on the table that told me goodbye
It said you'd grown weary of living a lie
Your love has ended but mine still remains
But nobody answers when i call your name

Oh the lonely sound of my voice calling
Is driving me insane
And just like rain the tears keep falling
Nobody answers when i call your name

Oh the lonely sound of my voice calling
Is driving me insane
And just like rain the tears keep falling
Nobody answers when i call your name
Oh nobody answers when i call your name

You've got my number
You've got my name
So why don't you call me
Little liza jane

You've got that body
You've got that frame
So why don't you call me
Little liza jane

Girl i got it bad for you
There ain't nothin' i won't do

Just one kiss and i'll never be the same
Little liza jane, oh little liza jane

Now you've heard my story
You've got to know my name
So why don't you call me
Little liza jane

Look at us
After all these years together
Look at us
After all that we've been through
Look at us
Still leaning on each other
If you want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

Look at you
Still pretty as a picture
Look at me
Still crazy over you
Look at us
Still believin' in forever
If you want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

In a hundred years from now
I know without a doubt
They'll all look back and wonder how
We made it all work out

Chances are
We'll go down in history
When they want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

Chance are
We'll go down in history
When they want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us
When they want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

I can read the writing on the wall
You pretend that nothing's changed at all
I've got just one thing to ask you if it's so
Just take your memory with you when you go

So i won't have to think about
The lonely nights i'll be without
Someone to hold me when the cold wind blows
Take your memory with you when you go

I walk the floor and wonder what went wrong

I'll have to find a way to carry on
Why don't you leave before the heartache starts to show
Take your memory with you when you go

So i won't have to think about
The lonely nights i'll be without
Someone to hold me when the cold wind blows
Take your memory with you
So i won't have to miss you
Take your memory with you when you go

He slipped the ring off his finger
When he walked in the room
And he found him some stranger
And promised her the moon
How many lies you must have told
You think you're a rich man
With your pocket full of gold

For another man's treasure
You'd say anything
But is one night of pleasure
Worth the trouble you'll bring
Don't look so surprised
'Cause son I should know
I once was a rich man
With pocket full of gold

Some night you're gonna wind up
On the wrong end of a gun
Some jealrous guy's gonna show up
And you'll pay for what you've done
What will it say on your tombstone
Here lies a rich man
With his pocket full of gold
Yeah, here lies a rich man
With his pocket full of gold

Looking back over the years
Of all the things i've always meant to say
But the words didn't come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all the nights i tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering

You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away


*Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know i've tried
The heart won't lie

You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart won't lie

Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me

You try to love your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away

*Repeat

We've been up
All night long
Trying to solve a problem
Hell it's almost dawn
Ain't no time for sleepin'
If our love is wearin' thin
'cause i ain't givin' up
And you ain't givin' in

Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
'cause the life we've been livin'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away

A wounded love
Walks a real thin line

And no communication
Will kill it every time
So open up your heart
Baby we can work it out
'cause we've got the kind of love
People dream about

Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
'cause the life we've been livin'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away

It's past the point of right or wrong
Let's find a way to just hold on

Everybody wants a little piece of my time
But still i put you at the end of the line
How it breaks my heart to cause you this pain
To see the tears you cry fallin' like rain

Give me the chance to prove
And i'll make it up to you

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby i still believe in you and me

Somewhere along the way, i guess i just lost track

Only thinkin' of myself never lookin' back
For all the times i've hurt you, i apologize
I'm sorry it took so long to finally realize

Give me the chance to prove
That nothing's worth losing you

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby i still believe in you and me

I lie here tonight in the darkness
I've never felt so alone
Tomorrow i'll wake up still lonesome
'cause things haven't changed since you've gone

You walked out with angry words spoken
You're leavin' cut right to the bone
I'll pick up the pieces you have broken
Find the strength to go on

I still remember

How my love once held her
How long do old memories last
Why can't i forget it
Why can't i admit it
There ain't no future in the past

I still remember
How my love once held her
How long do old memories last
Why can't i forget it
Why can't i admit it
There ain't no future in the past

You could have given me a million reasons why
But it wouldn't change a thing
You said it all when you said goodbye
And you took off your wedding ring

I've been tryin' to get over you
I've been spending time alone
I've been tryin' to get over you
But it'll take dyin' to get it done

All my friends keep tryin' to fix me up

They say i need somebody new
When it comes to love, i've all but given up
'cause life don't mean nothin' without you

I've been tryin' to get over you
I've been spending time alone
I've been tryin' to get over you
But it'll take dyin' to get it done

She was standing at the front door
When i came home last night
A good book in her left hand
And a rollin' pin in the right
She said you've come home for the last time
With whiskey on your breath
If you don't listen to my preachin' boy
I'm goin' to have to beat you half to death

Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through
I know i drive you crazy baby
It's the best that i can do
We're just some good ol' boys, a makin' noise
I ain't a runnin' 'round on you
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through

First she hid my glasses

'cause she knows that i can't see
She said you ain't goin' nowhere boy
'til you spend a little time with me
Then the boys called from the honky tonk
Said there's a party goin' on down here
Well she might've took my car keys
But she forgot about my old john deere

So give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through
I know i drive you crazy baby
It's the best that i can do
We're just some good ol' boys, a makin' noise
I ain't a runnin' 'round on you
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through

Look at us baby
Up all night
Tearin' our love apart
Aren't we the same two people
Who lived through years in the dark

Every time i try to walk away
Somethin' makes me turn and stay

I can't tell you why

When we get crazy
It just ain't right
(try to keep your head on, girl)
'cause girl i get lonely too
You don't have to worry
Just hold on tight
(don't get caught in your little world)

'cause i love you

Nothin's wrong as far as i can see
We make it harder than it has to be

I can't tell you why
No, baby, i can't tell you why
I can't tell you why

Every time i try to walk away
Somethin' makes me turn around and stay

I can't tell you why
No, baby, i can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why... yeah

No, baby
Ooooh, i can't tell you why

If i should stay
I would only be in your way
So i'll go, but i know
I'll think of you each step of the way

And i will always love you
I will always love you

Bitter sweet memories
That is all i am taking with me
Goodbye, please don't you cry
'cause we both know i'm not what you need

But i will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life (i hope life)
Treats you kind (treats you kind)
And i hope you have all you dream of
I wish you joy (wish you joy)
And happiness (and happiness)
But above all this i wish you love

And i will always love you
I will always love you
Yes, i will always love you
I will always love you

Things are changin' in the modern world.
It makes it kinda crazy for a boy an' girl.
An awful lot of noise on the radio.
It really don't rock, it really don't roll.

Well, a kid'll come along, make the young girls swoon.
They all put his picture in their pink bedrooms.
They all hail the brand new king.
Everybody's waitin' for the next big thing.

Big cigars an' diamond rings.
Ridin' all around in a limousine.
When you finally hit the top, man, you know what that means?
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing.

For a little while, you can do no wrong.
Live it up, son, 'cause it don't last long.
There's always somebody a-waitin' in the wings,
Thinkin' they're gonna be the next big thing.

Big cigars an' diamond rings.
Ridin' all around in a limousine.
When you finally hit the top, man, you know what that means?
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing.

I'll get a Camel hat, some real tight jeans.
I'll lose a little weight an' get a belly-button ring.
You better stand back, I'm a lean machine, yeah:
Baby, I'm gonna be the next big thing.

Big cigars an' diamond rings.
Ridin' all around in a limousine.
When you finally hit the top, man, you know what that means?
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing.
Everybody's ready for the next big thing.

I saw an old lover
Today on the street
She said do you remember
How we used to be
On fire with that passion
We'd burn down those nights
No I haven't forgotten
How we used to fight
I finally got married
Settled on down
Yeah she's a preachers daughter
In a sleepy little town
She'd make you laugh
Since we said goodbye
No she aint that funny
But she never makes me cry
she never makes me cry like you used to
Theres nothing about her that reminds me of you
I promise I dont see your face when I look in her eyes
And she never makes me cry
Does she makes you beg
for her love in the night
no she aint that selfish
And she never makes me cry
she never makes me cry like you used to
Theres nothing about her that reminds me of you
I promise I dont see your face when I look in her eyes
she never makes me wonder when she's coming home
There's something about her like I've never known
It's been nice to see you but now i must say goodbye
she never makes me cry
she never makes me cry
no no

We've been up, all night long
Tryin' to solve a problem and it's almost dawn
Ain't no time for sleepin', if our love is everything
Cause I ain't givin' up, you ain't givin' in

Chorus:

When our love starts slippin'
Love start slippin' away
Cause the life we're living'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin,
Love start slippin' away

Baby when love, walks a real thin line
No communication, kills it every time
So open up your heart, baby we can work it out
We got that kind of love, people dream about

Chorus

It's past the point of right or wrong
We'll find a way to just hold on, yeah

Music

Chorus

Last line x 2

I wipe a tear away
As I give up this day
Wondering if I'll ever find
Someone
And when I close my eyes and dream
These are the words I'm whispering
Someday..
Love will...
Come

I won't have a doubt
My head up in the clouds
Certain as the morning sun
I will always believe
There's somebody just for me
Someday...
Love will...
Come

Someday
After all these nights of waiting
Someday
I'll find a chance worth taking
(Seevingly)
from waking up alone
My heart will find a home
Someday

She'll be so beautiful
The sweetest miracle
Someay...
Love will...
Come

Someday
After all these nights of waiting
Someday
I'll find a chance worth taking
(Seevingly)
from waking up alone
My heart will find the home
Someday

And when I close my eyes and dream
These are the words I'm whispering
Someday...
Love will...
Come

Someday
Love will
Come

Baby, let's just say farewell
Baby, let's just both give in
No, it's not too hard to tell
The walls are closin' in

Oh, it's time to say goodbye
And put this in the past
Even though I know we tried
To save the best for last

I guess nothin' stays the same
Still the memories remain
We need all the sweet forgiveness we can find
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well, my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again

I don't know what's left to say
I don't know where we went wrong
When I watch you walk away
I'll miss you when you're gone

Baby, shed a tear for me
And I'll shed a tear for you
Oh, let's set this heartache free
And in time, we'll make it through

Well, I guess nothin' stays the same
Still the memories remain
We need all the sweet forgiveness we can find
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well, my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again

There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well, my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again
Only time will mend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again

We closed down the border cantina
And drank margaritas till dawn
You were my sweet senorita
And I was your handsome Don Juan

We danced like there was no tomorrow
We laughed and we lived and we loved
That moment in time that we borrowed
Never did last long enough

[Chorus:]
Yeah, we had it all going our way for a little while
We had it all right in the palm of our hands
We had it all going our way for a little while
Oh, how I wish we could go back there again

We thought we were too young to marry
Slowly we drifted apart
Well baby, I miss you like crazy
Those memories still burn in my heart

Oh, let's find a way to rekindle
That flame that burned long ago
These days just can't hold a candle
To those sweet nights in old Mexico

[Chorus: Repeat 3X]

I wake up one morning and it's passed you by.
Don't know when and you don't know why.
I feel like an old memory hangin' round.
An' man, you've got to face it, it's a young man's town.
I knew this day was comin' all along.
Some why bitch an' moan and say they done you wrong.
Just teach 'em what you know an' pass it on down,
'Cause man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town.

It's a young man's town,
Full of young man's dreams.
An' all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings.
An' sometimes you gotta stand back,
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground,
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town.

You always seem to be the last to know.
Man, that's just the way that the story goes.
There's nothin' you can do when the fields have turned brown.
An' man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town.

It's a young man's town,
Full of young man's dreams.
An' all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings.
An' sometimes you gotta stand back,
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground.
An' even though you built it, it's a young man's town.

Sometimes you gotta stand back,
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground.
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town.

It's a young man's town.

No man ever sounded so lonesome
No man ever made you feel such pain
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you sing that way

The stories you told about prison
About a young man gone astray
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you write the songs that way

A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A real mean bottle made you such a rebel
Must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way

You spent most all your life with strangers
With a ramblin' fever in your veins
Hag, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you play the blues that way

A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A real mean bottle made you such a rebel
It must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way

A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way

My dad was a man
With two hard workin' hands
He always took time out for me
Well, I'd come home from school
Load up that canoe
He'd say, "What's the bet gonna be?"

We'd float that boat down old Whippoorwill River
Catch us a big one or two
Well, he taught me about life
And its simple pleasures
And whatever else that he knew.

Then I met a girl
With a head full of curls
A pure and innocent heart
Oh, I knew she was the one
And when weekends would come
Wild horses couldn't keep us apart.

We'd run those ponies down Whippoorwill River
And I'd steal a sweet kiss or two
She taught me about love
And its simple pleasures
And whatever else that she knew.

Well, I married that girl
And we have a song
And he looks like my daddy used to
Oh, his mom and I
Always find time
To do things that he likes to do.

Well, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill River
And ride in his grandad's canoe
We teach hima bout life
And its simple pleasures
And pass down a memory or two.

Yeah, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill River
And catch him a big one or two
He's learning about life
And its simple pleasures
And making a memory or two.

Ooh...

Oh, I'm drawn to you
Like a burnin' flame
But somebody's waitin'
That bears my name
Oh, Lord knows I'd love to love you
Cause you know I'm just a man
But I can't
Not from where I stand.

You see I made a promise
When I put on that rign
And I plan to kep it, babe
It's a sacred thing
Well, heaven knows I'm tempted
I hope you understand
That I can't
Not from where I stand.

[Repeat: x2]
Oh, from where I stand
There's a golden band
And I swear I couldn't stand
To lose it all
So, I better run
While I still can
Cause I can't, babe
Not from where I stand.

No I can't, not from where I stand
Yeah, not from where I stand

Why don't you come clean, baby
I know what you're goin' through
You must think I'm some kind of crazy
Well, honey I'm just worried 'bout you.

You look so much like your mama
And I'm sorry for you that she's gone
And if she was here she sould tell ya
Don't lose sight of what's right or what's wrong.

'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, the talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town.

Well, I hope your conscience is listening
When you're out runnin' at night
All it takes is one bad decision
To haunt you the rest of your life.

'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, the talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town.

'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, the talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town...

<i>Lyrics &copy; WINDSWEPT HOLDINGS LLC</i>

I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Play an old time fiddle song
I might even drink just a little
If you play 'Little Jolie Blon'
If you're lookin' or me
I'm liable to be
In the middle of the ol' dance floor
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore

[Chorus:]
I wanna throw down on a hoe down
Hanging with the people I know
Hear the sweet sound
Of a breakdown
When you put a little rosin on the bow
Y'all come on over when the sun goes down
Bang on the ol' screen door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore

I miss ol' Herman Stover
Playin' Listen To The Mockingbird
It was Piedmont, Oklahoma
It was the sweetest sound I ever heard
Skinny ol' man in a cowboy band
You could barely get the people in the door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore

I wanna throw down on a hoe down
Hanging with the people I know
Hear the sweet sound
Of a breakdown
When you put a little rosin on the bow
Play diggy diggy li
Diggy diggy lo
The a little Cotten-Eyed Joe
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore.

[Chorus:]

Y'all come on over when the sun goes down
Bang on the ol' screen door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore...

Everytime I look into the mirror
I swear that I don't see the things you do
You say it couldn't be any clearer
And all I can see is me without you

[Chorus]
Without you trying to change me
With you trying to take me
And turn me into someone you once knew
Without you trying to make me
Without you trying to break me

All I can see is me without you
When you slipped that little ring around my finger
you smiled and said your wilder days are through
Well, I've got a real bad case of rambling fever
And all I can see is me without you

[Chorus: x 2]

All I can see is me without you

There's a man drinkin' whiskey in a barroom
He's nursin' a broken heart
There's a woman at a table
With her own brand of misery
Cryin' in the dark.

[Chorus]
Will two hearts make on tonight
Will somebody lost fond someone who's lost
Will strangers info comfort
In the cold neon light
Will two hearts make one tonight.

Oh, there's just a waitress between them
They're so close to finding their dreams
They're just one dance away
From easing the pain
Of coming apart at the seams.

[Chorus: x2]

Will two hears make one tonight

This old guitar and me
And the things that we've been through
C.F. Martin built him
Back in nineteen forty-two

I remember when we met
I was only seventeen
I spent all my college money
On a half a dozen strings

I thought my folks would kill me
I found out I was wrong
They said your future's written on your face
When you sing those travelin' songs

So we headed for Kentucky
With a suitcase full of dreams
My rough-out books, a few T-shirts
A worn out pair of jeans, ooh

This old guitar and me
We spent a lot of nights alone
Well, sometimes we'd get lucky
And take bar maid home

One night stands for breakfast
Two strangers with the blues
We'd wake up in the morning
And both feel a little used

Well, home was just a highway
We'd roam from town to town
Just me and that old flattop
Not caring where we're bound

From Maine to California
With a five piece travelin' band
Singin' songs about the hard times
That face the common man, ooh

This old guitar and me
Lord, we did the best we could
One was born a sinner
And one a piece of wood

God sent a wooden angel
To guide me on my way
We were meant to be together
Until my dyin' day

Well, now my dearest old companion
Lies underneath my bed
Well, our travelin' days are over
Man, but the memories fill my head

Well, I've settled with my family
Here in the hills of Tennessee
To teach my children's children
'Bout this old guitar and me, ooh

In these last few days, you've been on my mind.
An' we should get together an' talk about old times.
An' put the past behind us before life slips away.
I been thinkin' 'bout you in these last few days.

In these last few days, I have felt my age.
I wish that I was younger, but time has turned the page.
I sure miss the water and the rhythm of the waves.
I've been feelin' fragile in these last few days.

But I have been a father, a husband and a son.
Lookin' back is bitter sweet now that my race has run.
I've tried to be a witness from the cradle to the grave.
Time has felt so precious in these last few days.

Instrumental break.

In these last few days, I have seen the light.
And I'll be waitin' for you on the other side.
My old friend, I love you: that's really all there's left to say.
Lay down here beside me in these last few days.

My old friend, I'll miss you, but I'm trying to be brave.
Lay down here beside me in these last few days.

Why do I choose the things I choose?
Why do I always find some lame excuse?
And why do I not realize what I could do?
Oh, I wish I knew the reason why

Why do you get that sad look on your face?
And why do you pull away from my embrace?
And why do you see all my faults and my mistakes?
Oh, I wish you knew the reason why

Why do we treat each other like we do?
It's like we never even tried
Why can't we get back to the love we knew?
Oh, why? Oh baby, why?

Why do we have to play the same old games?
And why do we run away from who's to blame?
And can't we see to lose this love would be a shame?
Oh, I wish we knew the reason why
Oh, I wish we knew the reason why

You read the business page
See how you did today
You live up on the hill
You've got a view that kills
Never wonder why

After you've counted everything you saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?

[Chorus:]
No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away
What you give away

There's people on the street
Ai't got enough to eat
You just shake your head
The measure of a man is one who lends a hand
That's what my father said

After you've counted everything you saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?

[Chorus]

It's what you give away

After you've counted everything you saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?

No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away

You know it's not too late
It's all for Heaven's sake
What you give away
What you give away
What you give away

Whenever my soul is lonely
Whenever I'm feeling blue
I start thinkin' 'bout my blue eyed darlin'
And my heart starts pinin' for you
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
When I'm lost in this ocean of darkness
Not knowing which way I should turn
And my eyes are filled with sadness
Of knowing you'll never return
Wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound

You sure have a pretty smile
It sure has been a while
Since I've felt your touch
You've got the sweetest way
I think about you every day
I miss you so much
Oh my pretty little Adriana
Are you lonesome tonight
Oh my pretty little Adriana
I'll find you when

Hey Creole Darlin'
Talk that French to me
You know your love is somethin'
Like I ain't never seen
I'm goin' down down down down to New Orleans

Your eyes shine line diamonds
And those kisses sure make me scream
There ain't nothin' like love on the bayou
Honey I know you know what I mean
I'm goin' down down down down to New Orleans
I'm goin' down down down down to New Orleans

They got the gumbo and the Creole
They got the Quarter all night long
I got my Delta Queen that makes my heart sing
Man I ain't never goin' home
I'm goin' down down down down to New Orleans
Sweet New Orleans baby

They got the gumbo and the Creole
They got the Quarter all night long
I got my Delta Queen that makes my heart sing
Man I ain't never goin' home
I'm goin' down down down down to New Orleans
I'm goin' down down down down to New Orleans
Sweet New Orleans baby

Tell me lover tell me what you're gonna do
You gonna walk the walk or just talk the talk
Honey what's up with you
Tell me lover tell me how it's gonna be
You gonna mess around or just turn me down
Honey won't you please tell me
Your good intentions ain't too good no more
You answer questions by slammin' that bedroom door
Come on baby let's turn the lamp down low
I'll solve your problems so honey please don't go
Tell me lover tell me what you're gonna do
You gonna walk the walk or just talk the talk
Honey what's up with you
Tell me lover tell me how it's gonna be
You gonna mess around or just turn me down
Honey won't you please tell me
If the silence could kill honey we'd both be dead
It ain't hard to tell we're hangin' on by a thread
Say somethin' darlin' say what's on your mind We'll find the answer I got nothin' but time
Tell me lover tell me what you're gonna do
You gonna walk the walk or just talk the talk
Honey what's up with you
Tell me lover tell me how it's gonna be
You gonna mess around or just turn me down
Honey won't you please tell me
Tell me lover tell me how it's gonna be
You gonna mess around or just turn me down
Honey won't you please tell me

It's been a long day
Tell me how you've been?
Sorry, it's so late
Here we go again
We're sitting here together
Your hand in mine
I could stay here forever
Given more time

Given more time to laugh and dance
Given more time to have the chance
To show you this is where, I want to be
That old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me

Honey, how was your day?
Did you spend it on the run?
I know the kids are okay
Thanks for getting things done
In a few more hours
The sun's gonna shine
I wish, I had the power
To be given more time

Given more time to laugh and dance
Given more time to have the chance
To show you this is where I want to be
That old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me

That old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me

Given more time to laugh and dance
But that old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me

Yeah
Given more time to laugh and dance
More time to have the chance
To show you this where, I want to be
Oh, that old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me

If we have to wait forever, that's alright
If you say lets run away and leave tonight
I'll do anything you ever ask me to
Girl the reason my hearts beating is for you
And you alone
There's a price you pay for every choice you make
We'll have our day no matter what it takes
I'll be there for you whatever we go through
Girl the reason lifes worth living is for you
And you alone
Oh, you and you alone are with me from now on
Even if I never see your face again
The love that you have shown is unlike anything I've known
We both know its just a matter of will
Wish that we could just turn back the hands of time
To find a way to have your world fit into mine
I'll keep dreaming that some day it'll all come true
Girl the reason my hearts breaking is for you
And you alone
Oh, you and you alone are with me from now on
Even if I never see your face again
The love that you have shown is unlike anything I've known
We both know its just a matter of will

There's nothing quite as lonely
As a sky that turns to gray
Or a love that just starts dyin'
And slowly fades away
You were my best companion
Now we lie silent in the dark
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
There's nothing quite as empty
As when children go away
And all that's left are memories
Of all those yesterdays
You can't understand the feeling
'Til it finds its way to your heart
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
There's nothing quite as ugly
As two people full of hate
We'll all end up as equals
When we stand at heaven's gate
Love is still the answer
It's the only place to start
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
Love is still the answer
It's the only place to start
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
