Gladys Knight & The Pips

L.A. proved too much for the man,
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know,
He said he's goin' back to find
Ooh, what's left of his world,
The world he left behind
Not so long ago.
He's leaving,
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time.
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.
He kept dreamin'
That someday he'd be a star.
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true.
So he pawned all his hopes
and he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket
To the life he once knew,
Oh yes he did,
He said he would
Be leavin
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time.
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.
Go, gonna board, gonna board,
Gonna board the midnight train.
Gotta go, gonna board
Gonna board
Gonna board the midnight train
(repeat, fade)

I saw my love walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned and gave me a smile
Then, the preacher, then the preacher
The preacher joined their hands
And all the people, all the people began to stand
When I shouted, "you know it should have been me"
(Instead of her walking with you)

You are leaving me stranded
You know that it should have been me baby
Oh baby gettin' ready to marry you
Darlin' darlin' darlin'
You made a promise that we would never part
Then you turned around and broke my little heart
Now you're standing there saying I do
Holding hands with somebody new
You know that it should have been me
(I can't stand it)
Instead of her standing by you
You know that it should have been me
It should have been me
(Baby don't do it)
Then the preacher oh yeah the preacher asked
That there be silence please

If anybody objects to this wedding
Speak now or forever or forever hold your peace
Thin I shouted, "It should have been me"
You know that it should have been me
Don't you know that it should have been me
You know that it should have been me
I've been faithful to you baby, baby, baby
You were leaving me stranded

I saw my love walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned and gave me a smile
Then, the preacher, then the preacher
The preacher joined their hands
And all the people, all the people began to stand
When I shouted, "you know it should have been me"
(Instead of her walking with you)

You are leaving me stranded
You know that it should have been me baby
Oh baby gettin' ready to marry you
Darlin' darlin' darlin'
You made a promise that we would never part
Then you turned around and broke my little heart
Now you're standing there saying I do
Holding hands with somebody new
You know that it should have been me
(I can't stand it)
Instead of her standing by you
You know that it should have been me
It should have been me
(Baby don't do it)
Then the preacher oh yeah the preacher asked
That there be silence please

If anybody objects to this wedding
Speak now or forever or forever hold your peace
Thin I shouted, "It should have been me"
You know that it should have been me
Don't you know that it should have been me
You know that it should have been me
I've been faithful to you baby, baby, baby
You were leaving me stranded

I've had my share of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Ooo, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ah, you're the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me

> I need somebody
Whos consistent with me
Someone already there
When I need company
Cuz when Im feelin low
I dont wanna have to go out lookin
for a Part time love

And when the dreams and rainbows start to disappear
I dont want somebody up and runnin out of here
Cus when you stop and start
Baby its a just too hard upon my heart
For a part time kind of love

I cant take it now
Now listen here waitn see
I want somebodys whos committed now to me
Somewhere, somewhere
Someday, Someday youv...

> [Come and walk with me]
[We can go where peaceful waters flow]

If loneliness surrounds you
And rain clouds always hang around you
And wakin up each day gets you down [Gets you down, gets you down]
And if the life that youre leading
Seems hollow, then maybe what youre needing
Is someone to turn your world around

[Take my hand] Come take my hand and walk with me [And walk awhile]
[Let me teach you how to smile] Let me teach you how to smile
[And Ill show you skies ] And Ill show you skies where gentle breezes blow
[Where breezes, gentle breezes blow] Yeah, hey

And Ill take you where peaceful waters flow [Peaceful waters flow]
If you let me Ill take you where peaceful waters flow
[Come and walk with me] Mmm, hmm
[We can go where peaceful waters flow]

Now if the sunshine hurts your eyes, boy
Then its time for you to realize, boy
Beyond this moment theres
A better day [Better day], mmm, hmm [Better day]

And if you let me
Ill guide you, mmm
Ill always be there, right there beside you
Reaching every step of your way

[Come take my hand and walk] Come take my hand and walk with me awhile
[And walk awhile] Yeah, hey, hey
[Let me teach you how to smile ] Let me teach you how to smile
And Ill show you skies [Ill show you skies ] where gentle breezes blow
[Where breezes, gentle breezes blow] Hey, yeah, hey, hey, hey

And Ill take you where peaceful waters flow [Peaceful waters flow]
Hey, hey, if you trust me, Ill take you there where peaceful waters flow
[Come and walk with me] Mmm...hmm...
[We can go where peaceful waters flow]

> I&#39;ve been crying
&#39;Cause I&#39;m lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won&#39;t wash away the fears
That you&#39;re never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns

It keeps me crying baby for you
Keeps me sighin&#39; baby for you
So won&#39;t you hurry ?
Come on boy, see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby

I&#39;ve given up my friends just for you
My friends are gone
And you have too
No peace shall I find
Until you come back
And be mine
No matter what you do or say
I&#39;m gonna love you anyway

Keep on crying baby for you
I&#39;m gonna keep sighin&#39; baby for you
So come on hurry
Come on and see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby

Sometime&#39;s up
Sometime&#39;s down
My life&#39;s so uncertain
With you not around
From my arms you maybe out of reach
But my heart says you&#39;re here to keep

Keeps me crying baby for you
Keep on, keep on crying baby for you
So won&#39;t you hurry
Come on boy, see about me (Come see about me)
See about you baby (Come see about me)
You know I&#39;m so lonely (Come see about me)
I love you only (Come see about me)
See about your baby (Come see about me)
Hurry, hurry

> If I stay, I know I&#39;m that I&#39;ma share your love and that I couldn&#39;t take. And
if I go, we&#39;ll be apart and I know my heart would surely break. So, what
difference does it make, which one I choose? Either way I lose.

Though I know, my love is true. I&#39;d die if you ever told me good-bye. Ever told
me good-bye. And I know, she loves you too. She would do, the same as I. What
difference does it make, which one I choose? Either way I lose. Either way I
lose. EIther way I lose.

<i>Lyrics &copy; EMI Music Publishing</i>

Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon
Where's my family
And my country
heaven knows where I belong

Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain say farewell
but don't say goodbye

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss her now In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the
Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

> Letter Full Of Tears
Gladys Knight & The Pips

Mmmmm
Here comes the mailman walking up the street
and it looks like he has a letter today for me
Wait a minute let me look inside no it couldn't be from my guy
because he he brought me, (yes he did)
I said he he brought me, (yes he did)
A letter full of tears
I thought we had a love so strong (we had a love)
it would take a lifetime to break us apart
oh yes
but I found out today I was wrong
and my reward was a broken heart my my heart
oh here comes the teardrops welcome a welcome to my eyes
and I couldn't hold 'em back no matter if I tried
wo wo oh
You know it hurt me so inside
won't you pardon me while I cry
because he brought me (yes he did)
I said he brought me (yes he did) a letter full of tears
(here comes the mailman) Those aren't drip drop tears (bringing me tears)
Can't you see them falling (here comes the mailman bringing me tears) wo
wo oh wo wo oh wo wo oh oh oh (hey, yes he did, hey hey , yes he did, hey
hey hey woo
yes he did)
I thought (hey hey hey woo yes he did)
we had a love so strong
(hey hey hey woo, yes he did)
