Women peak at forty and men at nineteen. I remember laughing my head off when I read that in a magazine. (I was twenty at the time). Now I'm staring forty right in the face.
I remember breakfast. Used to be my favorite meal. Big ol' eggs and lots of butter. Food you could feel. . Now it's figs and twigs and fiber. I'm pure as I can be.
Though youre always waxing sentimental. Your sweet words are all I ever hear. You dont really give a continental. Honey, deep down in your heart youre not sincere.
Well a train blows a whistle before it pulls away. But no word or warning do you say. One minute right beside me, another you're a thousand miles away.
Well I'm off to see the wizard in his castle on the hill. And I never once have known him and I do not know him still. Because his face it is magnificent but you'll never see his hands.
You don't care what kind of life you live you don't care for love I give. You honky tonk all over town and your wild life's gonna get you down. I beg you time and time again not to treat me like you do.
Today I burned your old love letters I burned them slowly one by one. Before I'd light the flame I read them to try and find the wrongs I've done. The first you wrote me was the sweetest the last one broke my heart in two.
Your love is the way I always thought love should be. Your love is the kind of love that makes me happy. No tears and sorrow and no misery your love is the way I always thought love should be.
Your cheatin' heart, will make you weep. You'll cry and cry, and try to sleep. But sleep won't come, the whole night through. Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you.
You're the only world I know. You're the one I can't let go. You're my laughter and my tears. And I love you all my years. . You're the beating of my heart.
I make all the honky tonks and taverns just to see who's hanging round. And there I try to drown my sorrow just because you let me down. I can't get someone to kiss me I can't get someone to care.
Your jealous heart, I can't understand. You get mad if I look at another man. No fate in your love, no respect for mine. Making things up in your self-righteous mind.
You drove me to the church on Sunday to our home on Monday. And I've been here the rest of the time. I know she's somewhere out there by your side while I'm takin' for a ride.
YOU'LL NEVER BE MINE AGAIN. (Jim Reeves - Buddy Killen). '59 Tree Publishing. . You'll never be mine again guess I've known it since don't know when. I've just been pretending I know I can't win.
Your touch tells me all I need to know. I lost you, it hurts to see you go. Yes, I'm unhappy but at least my heart's free. I'm no fool, you want her not me.
[ Kitty Wells ]. You left your mark on me beggin' on my heart to stay. Time by no one will erase it away. In public I wear a smile hold my head up high inside I'm so lonesome alone in a crowd.
You lay so easy on my mind oh so easy on my mind. Whenever I need you all I have to do is close my eyes. You lay so easy on my mind yes so easy on my mind.
You always have your way with me each time you left my heart felt the chill. But I've only been a past time to you. No you don't love me but you're afraid somebody will.
Lately you spent a lot of time at parties. Your head held high in a world of make believe. You don't hear a word that I tell you. And I can see you no longer care for me.
You can't conceal a heart that's broken. No matter what you say or do. I still recall words that were spoken. The night you said that we were through.
