When you answered the phone last month. I knew you thought it was a big mistake. You said the week in New York had been fun. But I could hear your voice shake.
After you have known me better and the new wears off. Will you want me, just as much as you do now?. After I am your possession, will the thrill be gone?.
My little boy looks up at me with big tears in his eyes. And asks me what did daddy leave us for. I feel a pain run through my heart when he cries these helpless words.
I have heard of a land on a faraway strand this beautiful home of the soul. Built by Jesus on high there we never shall die in the land where we'll never grow old.
In Canaan's land I'm on my way where the soul never dies. My darkest night will turn to day where the soul never dies. No sad farewell no tear dimmed eyes where all his love and the soul never dies.
Living below in this old sinful world. Hardly a comfort can afford. Striving alone to face temptation sore. Where could I go but to the Lord. . Where could I go, oh, where could I go.
It gets longer in between each time you call. I'd be safe in sayin' you no longer care at all. We're never seem together like we used to be. Tell me darling whatever happened to me.
What's it gonna cost me this time a broken heart like last time. Will I have to pay with my mind what's it gonna cost me this time. . It cost me a lotta heartaches loving you.
I've done everything a girl suppose to do. When she's trying hard to prove her love is true. I've given up the things you asked me to tell me darling what else can I do.
What a friend we have in Jesus all our sins and grieves to bear. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer. Oh what peace we often forfeit oh what needless pain we bear.
[ Merle ]. Here the labor is so hard and the workers they are tired. And our weary hearts're yearning for a rest. And I find we're getting anxious to be in that happy home.
I know I've been untrue but now I love just you. If not sweetheart I'd still be there with him. If the spark of doubt remains and their talk has been to flame.
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore. From the queen of flowing mountains to the southbells by the moor. Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear the lonesome hoboes squall.
Way down at the bottom of the river. There's a locket with a picture of me. She drowned what I thought was forever. She locked up our love and lost the key.
More road up ahead. My radio still broken. The spinning of the wheels and the fenceline lead my way. Your picture on the dash. And the need to fly so high.
Yonder comes Willie the weeper saddest looking sight in all the town. Had a new love but couldn't keep her now Willie's crying heart is broken down. .
When a man loves a woman the way that I love you. In his eyes there's no one else to make his dreams come true. When a man loves a woman the way that I love you.
What makes two hearts that beat as one. Until the heart trades love for fun?. What makes the one I love untrue?. What makes me love you like I do?. . What makes the stars up in the sky.
I'm walking the floor over you. I can't sleep a wink that is true. I'm hoping and I'm praying. As my heart breaks right in two. Walking the floor over you.
All around the water tank. Waiting for a train. A thousand miles away from home. Standing in the rain. . I walked up to a brakeman. To hand him a line of talk.
