If you were mine Mary know what I'd do. I'd take the stars Mary and give them to you. If you were mine Mary know what I'd say. I'd say that I love Mary over again all through the day.
If being good means being lonely that's not for me. Cause I'm lonely for someone who will never be free. If being bad means to have her I'll live without cry.
With a twinkle in her eye she'll make you feel proud that you're livin'. And with her sunny smile you'll think for a while you touched heaven. There's no way to explain it the feeling that you're gonna feel.
I've never been to China town never seen Frisco Bay. Ain't been to Dallas in the spring ain't got no pictures in my mind. I've spend the best years of my life here with you I've just been wasting my time.
(I've got a woman to lean on). I've seen times there was no way the sun could ever shine. And I've seen me so completely down and I count up every time.
I am just a country boy money have I none. But I've got silver in the stars and gold in the morning sun. . I'm never gonna kiss the ruby red lips of the prettiest girl in town.
Honey I think that it's just about time that you and I had a long talk. Cause lately it seems we just can't get along so let's find out just who's at fault.
I'll be there to hold you when you need someone to hold you. I'll be there to listen when you need someone to care. I'll be there to help you anyway that I can help you.
I've got somebody and she pleases me when I am troubled she eases me. A girl who's beauty goes beneath the skin and the country kind of shows in her grin.
If you hurt me you won't be the first or the last in a lifetime of many mistakes. But I won't spend tomorrow regreting the past for the chances that I didn't take.
Oh please don't be so careless with your glances. Don't look at me that way and breathe a sigh. And please don't get too close and let me love you. Cause I'd just be fool enough to try.
I know you're tired of being all I ever wanted. You no longer feel the love I have for you. What happens now what will I do with all the mem'ries. And the dreams of all the things we'll never do.
When was the last time he kissed you and told you how pretty you are. When was the last time you let him embrace you as he whispered I won't go too far.
I take the chance to lose my soul my life my pride. I take the chance to be with you. . I've tried to live my life the best I can. I've prayed I'd never cheat to heed my heart's command.
I've seen the travel folders where to go and what to do. But I've never found a place that won't remind me of you. So I keep right on moving from your mem'ry I take flight.
There's heartaches like you've never known but there's heaven if you make a care. There's loving of plenty your wants won't be many I just came from there.
I heard from a mem'ry last night from the girl who is still in my heart. She's the one girl I've met I could never forget even though we had drifted apart.
My eyes aren't seeing very well this morning I just can't make them open in the light. I tried to walk but I can't keep from stumbling. I guess I had too much to dream last night.
She just sits there her eyes are on me. I shake with temptation just knowing what could be. I ought to go home I've been here too long but I feel a sin coming on.
When the prisoner died. Lord, we knew we had failed. The black ladies sang. And the neighborhood children wailed. . Now the siren singers. Are about to come out.
