Moon on a canvas sail. Such a beautiful sight. Lost on a star-dust trail. On a mystical night. Wash of a million waves. Calling to me. Deep in my soul I can hear.
A million roses sent to you one by one. Could never capture the way my feelings run. Could not express or symbolise. The love I find within your eyes.
Smile though your heart is achin. Smile even though it's breakin. When there are clouds in the sky. You'll get by. If you smile through your fear and sorrow.
Little one when you grow old. Keep alive these precious years. Remember all our fields of gold. And the silver of my tears. . Little one when shadows falls.
Sunday morning I go to church then again on Sunday night. Monday morning I go to work home and family Monday night. Tuesday Wednesday it's the same working for my daily bread.
CHORUS:. Shine your light against the dark. Stand upright and make your mark. Do your best wherever you may be. And shine your light for me. -------. Long ago when I was just.
You stole his love and left behind dear a broken heart a worried mind. Your new found love will turn to hate dear and you'll be left alone to pine. Stolen love can't last forever stealing leads to a life of sin.
I catch myself still loving you. I walk down these streets every night about this time. Cause you're in my heart and on my mind. I can't face the fact that we are through I catch myself still loving you.
Sentimental I have been. For all the years that came between. Loving you and now. Time will not allow me to forget them. Happiness that we once knew. When life was sweet and love was true.
(Tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong). I dreamed that I heard mama calling for me. And I walked out with a cold sweat on my face. Now the job that I left home to take and all my plans will have to wait.
Their hearts was a jeweler she polished everyday. With little acts of kindness as she went along her way. She was No picture for your wall. Some times saints don't looks like saints at all.
I've got a real important job in a large office building. Ridin' people in an elevator. I drive a '57 Chevrolet with busted tail lights. Burnt out valves and leaky radiator.
(I'm afraid you've gone and done something foolish to you). At night I wake up and I listen but I never hear a sound. And the quiet is overwhere me it's driving me wild.
There comes someone's heartache she's walking straight to me. Somebody's cried a love has died she's somebody's shattered dream. If she sould stop at my table will I be the next to cry.
I came home the same as before then I noticed the wide opened door. What happened oh where can she be she's gone she forgot to take me. Empty covers the closets are bare not a sound just my falling tears.
Morning's come and Lord my mind is aching. That old sunshine stands silent at my door. But just like the dawn my heart is silently breaking. As my tears go tumbling to the floor.
She called me baby baby all night long. Used to hold and kiss me till the dawn. Then one night I awoke and she was gone. There's no more baby baby all night long.
The other day I walked out on the street I happened to see. A pretty young woman a little bitty boy and he looked back at me. See the big man cry mama that's what I heard him say.
Let me go with you don't leave me I'll miss you I'll love you. Now that I've kissed you I'll never forget you I know it's true. If I can only tag along I'll do it to be with you.
Darling there's a talk around town bout a girl who spreads love around. With soft lips and eyes crystal blue darling say it's not you. They say that she comes in alone and stay till self respect is gone.
