You Can Call Me Blue

Well I'm not a foolish man but I'm half out of my head
Sitting here remembering the foolish things I said
Here nobody knows me, nobody asks my name
But it doesn't really matter 'cause it feels about the same

(Chorus)
You can call me blue, you can call me untrue
You can call me wrong even if the love is gone
You can call me friend till the very end
Anytime you got an extra dime, call me sometime

Well I really let you down and I watched you rise above
Now I'm trying to get used to not believing in your love
I'm sitting here remembering, trying to drink away my tears
But the dreams won't die easy, I'll be dreaming them for years

Chorus

Could've called me fool, you should've called me mad
But you didn't have to call if off, you made me feel so bad

Chorus

Savin' It Up

There've been lots of other girls since I first met you
But they haven't meant a thing at all
'Cause I met you, girl
Well that something deep inside of me that you can have so easily
Is waiting for you, only for you

I've been savin' it up for a long time, baby
Building it up till it's higher than the sky
I've been savin' all my love for you
All my love for you

There've been lots of pretty words I should have told you
But I let you slip right through my hands
And if I told you, girl
Well I'd have you standin' next to me but words don't come so easily
So if you give me one more chance, I'll show you, only you

I've been savin' it up for a long time, baby
Building it up till it's higher than the sky
I've been savin' all my love for you
All my love for you

I've been savin' it up ever since I met you
Hoping that luck will somehow make you mine
I've been savin' all my love for you
All my love

You, You, You

I was so full of hope, I was so full of plans
I was so sure you'd love me back, take me for your man
And I had so much love and I had so much time
I was sure you'd come around
How could I know you're not the kind

Oh you, you, you, you, what did I ever do
To hurt you, you, you, oh you
Listen to my tears, they're crying for one who never hears
They're crying for someone, you know who, it's you, it's you

I thought I had your heart, I thought I had a chance
I'd stand in line in freezing rain just to watch you dance
I thought you knew my name, I thought you liked my face
I held your coat, I held your hand
I thought that you would hold my place

Oh you, you, you, you, what did I ever do
To hurt you, you, you, oh you
Listen to my tears, they're crying for one who never hears
They're crying for someone, you know who, it's you,

I can't get to sleep at night
Tears have made me blind
I just stay awake
With only one thing on my mind

Oh you, you, you, you, what did I ever do
To hurt you, you, you, oh you
Listen to my tears, they're crying for one who never hears
They're crying for someone, you know who

It's you, you, you ...

Blame It on the Rain

Call it a day, throw your memories away
You got your reasons and I got mine
Don't waste your time while you're still in your prime
But I can't keep on flying blind

Let's blame it on the rain, not the flowers and champagne
You always wanted just the best; take the finest, leave the rest
And blame it on the rain, we just never felt the same
Guess I couldn't say I knew what love has meant to you
So leave me the sadness and the pain
And blame it on the rain

These tears only fall whenever you call
But I never intended to let them show
I'll pack my sorrow, think of tomorrow
'Cause love may come and love may go

Let's blame it on the rain, not the flowers and champagne
You always wanted just the best; take the finest, leave the rest
And blame it on the rain, we just never felt the same
Guess I couldn't say I knew what love has meant to you
So leave me the sadness and the pain
And blame it on the rain

Let's blame it on the rain, not the flowers and champagne
You always wanted just the best; take the finest, leave the rest
And blame it on the rain, we just never felt the same
Guess I couldn't say I knew what love has meant to you
Let's blame it on the rain...

Right Through the Heart

Baby goes for prettier boys
With shinier toys that make the most noise
The way you look you could easily afford
Slam your door on any given night's score

Win the world with womanly wiles
Flip your hair, flash a smile
Get what you want till you don't want what you got
Baby be a deadly shot

You got me right through the heart
Well you got me right through the heart
You got me right through the heart
But you'll get it right smack back through the middle of your heart

Sometime when you're feeling alone
Won't you throw me a bone and answer your phone
When you're free, you can come and see me
Anytime you feel the need you wanna watch me bleed

If the world ever puts you on trial
Flip your hair, flash a smile
Get what you want till you don't want what you got
Baby be a deadly shot

You got me right through the heart
Well you got me right through the heart
Well you got me right through the heart
But you'll get it right smack back through the middle of your heart

Don't Ask Why

Ask me any kind of question, anything you wanna know
Tell you all about my lovers, heartaches and laughter
From a long time ago

Ask me if I'm finally happy, I've never really been before
Ever since you happened to me, I've told all my secrets
I don't have any more

Ask me now and I won't tell a lie
Ask me how I've been feeling inside
But when somebody loves you and you know that it's true
Don't ask why

Ask me if I really mean it when I tell you I love you
Ask me will I please repeat it
I'll tell you forever if you want me to

Ask me now and I won't tell a lie
Ask me how I've been feeling inside
But when somebody loves you
And you know that it's true, don't ask why
Don't ask why
Don't ask why

Staying With It

This is it, this is what I've waited for so long
Starting now, gotta trust these feelings coming on
Take a chance even though I feel like I should run

Staying with it, let my heart take me there
Got a feeling, ooh I'm getting somewhere
Deep in it and I really do care
Wait a minute now, oh don't walk out

I can see, I can see your disbelieving eyes
Don't you know holding back your love is so unwise
Take a chance, ain't it time you took a lover's stand

Staying with it, let my heart take me there
Got a feeling, ooh I'm getting somewhere
Deep in it and I really do care
Wait a minute now, oh don't walk out

You Sure Fooled Me

I must have been too good to be true
So trusting and so naive
You must have laughed when you said I love you
And I honestly did believe

The night I whispered don't be afraid
I could've sworn it was love we made

Baby, you sure fooled me
Had me going right up to the end
Baby, you sure fooled me
But I bet you no one's ever gonna fool me again

I thought you shared the feelings I felt
From the very first time we kissed
But you were just amusing yourself
Adding one more heart to your list

I never thought I could be so dumb
But you were just as smooth as they come

Baby, you sure fooled me
Had me going right up to the end
Baby, you sure fooled me
But I bet you no one's ever gonna fool me again

The night I whispered don't be afraid
I could've sworn it was love we made

Baby, you sure fooled me
Had me going right up to the end
Baby, you sure fooled me
But I bet you no one's ever gonna fool me again

Empty Hearts

Are you leaving, are you going
Did you think you could lose that feeling without me knowing

Are you wishing you'd never met me
Does it just take a train whistle blowing to forget me

All the losing and the knowing but you love her still
Could be nothing to what empty hearts must feel

Are you leaving, are you going
Did you think you could lose that feeling
Without me knowing

All the losing and the knowing, but you love her still
Could be nothing to what empty hearts must feel
Tell me what an empty heart must feel

Are you leaving, are you going
Are you leaving, are you going

Imogene

remember images of bridges crossed
And being left on the other side
I guess I died last somewhere near Savannah
Oh Imogene, can I take you down south in my dreams

Oh Imogene, everybody's playing good-time music
Could it be some sort of sign
That everybody's playing good-time music
But no one's having a good time

Simon, my best friend, he cut his hair
He added strings, became a millionaire
Oh it's all so simple so Simon says
Oh but Imogene, time goes by and so did I

Oh Imogene, everybody's playing good-time music
Could it be some sort of sign
Everybody's playing good-time music
But no one's having a good time

The sign on the border says welcome to Georgia
You don't have to go through Savannah no more
Oh nothing makes sense anymore
Why should I, why should I

She's Real

had stuffed animals when I was just a kid
I dreamed they'd come alive and play but they never did
Now I've found someone that I can call my own
And unlike others I have known

She's real
She's flesh and blood and bone and love that I can feel
And she's not perfect but it's all part of the deal
Yes I know she's real

I still remember my first Playboy magazine
And they had photographs in there like I'd never seen
But all in all they never did have much to say
They'd just lie there on the page

But she's real
She's flesh and blood and bone and love that I can feel
She's not perfect but it's all part of the deal
Yes I know she's real

Sometimes she hurts my feelings, sometimes I hurt her feelings
And we just don't get along, no
But before we say goodnight, I just might find out that she's right
And even if she's wrong

She's real
She's flesh and blood and bone and love that I can feel
She's not perfect but it's all part of the deal
Yes I know she's real

Software

She came to me inside a package all the way from Japan
She gives me more than satisfaction and she's right in the palm of my hand
And there's so much she makes me do, guess I'm a slave to my new

Software (we are so compatible)
Software (we can write the manual)
Software (she is so expandable)
Software (it's unbelievable)
And there's no reason to be discreet
Because my program is now complete
Software

And when I look in her directions, quite suddenly I am scared
Because her technical perfection is displayed beyond compare
If we could interface awhile in some file inside my

Software (we are so compatible)
Software (we can write the manual)
Software (she is so expandable)
Software (it's unbelievable)
And there's no reason to be discreet
Because my program is now complete
Software

My little geisha wheel, she's so unreal
My little geisha wheel
She makes me feel like I'll never need anyone but my

Software (we are so compatible)
Software (we can write the manual)
Software (she is so expandable)
Software (it's unbelievable)
And there's no reason to be discreet
Because my program is now complete with software

Unconditionally

If it's me you want, I'm yours
I'm a house of open doors
Why should I be afraid to let you in
But if you need to run, okay
I'm not standing in your way
You're not some prize for me to lose or win
It's not some game I'm trying to play

'Cause I love you unconditionally, unconditionally
Maybe you find it hard to understand
You're in my heart wherever you go
And I want you to know
I love you babe, unconditionally

You say you've been hurt before
And there's no way to know for sure
As if I'm hiding something up my sleeve
There's no bridge you need to burn
'Cause I want nothing in return
And it's little consequence what you believe
There's no reward I'm trying to earn

'Cause I love you unconditionally, babe, unconditionally
Maybe you find it hard to understand
You're in my heart wherever you go
And I want you to know
I love you babe, unconditionally

When love is true
No matter what you do
It still believes in you, and I do

Unconditionally, unconditionally
Maybe you find it hard to understand
You're in my heart wherever you go
And I want you to know
I love you babe, unconditionally
Unconditionally
Unconditionally

Dirty Hands and Dirty Faces

Dirty hands, dirty faces, what am I gonna do about you
You've been out playing in those forbidden places
So run along and wash 'em up
Your supper's getting cool

Hurry up, slow down, how can you be so clumsy
Didn't you see it standing there
Go on now answer me before I get angry
And go to your room and shut the door and see if I care

Yes but someday, when we're standing eye to eye
And your trucks and your guns are all behind
Well I hope you'll be more kind and understanding with your daddy
Than I was with mine

The day to day, it slips away, you're in diapers and then you're dancing
And the music that you hear is not for me
Sometimes I forget about the things that really matter
I'm holding tighter, you're running faster, as you struggle to be free

Yes but someday, when we're standing eye to eye
And your trucks and your guns are all behind
Well I hope you'll be more kind and understanding with your daddy
Than I was with mine

So on your way, my little one
You've got some dreams to find
Still I hope you'll be more kind and understanding with your daddy
Than I was with mine

Worth the Trouble

Even though you love her, even though she loves you
Even though you're both committed to seeing it through
Seems no matter how it's going, the going is tough
You thought that love was all you needed, well it ain't enough

You've been thinking is she worth the trouble
Is she
Worth it
Is she worth the trouble
Is she
Really worth it

It's a basic disagreement between your head and your heart
You know you'd say goodbye tomorrow if you were smart
But your heart keeps saying hold on, don't give up now
You can try a little harder, work it out somehow

You keep thinking is she worth the trouble
Is she
Worth it
Is she worth the trouble
Is she
Really worth it

Is she worth the trouble
Is she worth the trouble
Is she really worth the trouble
Is she really worth the trouble

Distant Fire

I just had to hear your voice tonight
My heart left me no choice tonight
I'll bet you think I'm crazy
Well maybe I am

Yes I know it's late to call like this
But I was memory inspired
Feelings I've been keeping,
Keeping me from sleeping
Burning like a distant fire

Yesterdays are in my heart tonight
And I can't fight that old desire
Loneliness remembers love that lives in embers
Flickering from a distant fire

From where we were, to where we are
Seems so close, to be so far
I'll never own the moon and stars
But I can see them shine

Like I said it's late to call like this
Darling I apologize
Not for what I'm feeling, just for not revealing
This love I'm sending on the wire
Burning from a distant fire

Miami Beach

Back in '37, when she first walked down that street
She was such a knockout, she could make your heartbeat skip
Hiding from the winter, living in a pink hotel
In Miami Beach, in Miami Beach

So she lived a long life underneath a pastel sky
She let the ocean bathe her and the trade winds blow her dry
The sun shone on her beauty till it faded clear away
In Miami Beach, in Miami Beach

Now she sits all day in front of her hotel
As if waiting for somebody to arrive
Yes and now the whole wide world has dwindled down
To a single wicker chair on Ocean Drive

Million dollar babies walk right by her everyday
They don't care to know her but if they should ask she'd say
I must be your future cause you surely are my past
In Miami Beach, in Miami Beach

Departure

Hey let's go up on the mountain tonight
And be lovers out under the stars
From up there the freeways are rivers of light
With diamonds and rubies for cars

And the city is spread like a net at your feet
Catching the stars as they fall
And all of the things that are driving you crazy
Won't really matter at all

Hey let's go up on the mountain tonight
You can bring all your memories along
We'll take all the very best times of our lives
Set them down into a song

And we'll stand on a peak overlooking the world
And sing it as loud as we can
Not one of the millions below us will hear it
But won't the elation be grand

And we'll catch us a ride on the wings of an angel
Flying too close to the ground
And if she is flying away to forever
Maybe we'll never come down

Old Fashioned Love

I take my love seriously
'Cause I don't believe that love is free
Fast and loose just ain't my style
A good thing should last a while

(Chorus)
Old fashioned love
Long lasting love
Old fashioned, full of the passion
Of an old fashioned love

Some people go for one-night stands
Short, sweet, no romance
Some people just go too far
Well I sure don't need a menage a trois

Chorus

Trying to lead a simple life
And this one woman man needs a one man wife

Chorus

I don't go to the singles bars
'Cause I don't intend to swing that far
I'm just trying to lead a simple life
And this one woman man needs a one man wife

Chorus

Bristlecone Pine

Way up in the mountains on the high timber line
There's a twisted old tree called the Bristlecone Pine
The wind there is bitter, it cuts like a knife
And it keeps that tree holding on for dear life

But hold on it does, standing its ground
Standing as empires rise and fall down
When Jesus was gathering lambs to his fold
The tree was already a thousand years old

Now the way I have lived there ain't no way to tell
When I die if I'm going to heaven or hell
So when I'm laid to rest it would suit me just fine
To sleep at the feet of the Bristlecone Pine

For as I would slowly return to the earth
What little this body of mine might be worth
Would soon start to nourish the roots of that tree
And it would partake of the essence of me

And who knows but that as the centuries turn
A small spark of me might continue to burn
As long as the sun did continue to shine
Down on the limbs of the Bristlecone Pine

Now the way I have lived there ain't no way to tell
When I die if I'm going to heaven or hell
So I'd just as soon serve out eternity's time
Asleep at the feet of the Bristlecone Pine
Asleep at the feet of the Bristlecone Pine

Mr Sawyer/Mr Finn

Oh there's a steamboat coming half a mile around the bend
Hear the voice of old man river calling him again

Old man Sawyer he wakes at down, he puts his tie and his coffee on
He lives in a room on the second floor where everyday is like the one before
From his window he can see the river flowing endlessly
Down on the banks the children play, he closes his eyes and he drifts away

Oh there's a steamboat coming half a mile around the bend
Hear the voice of old man river calling him again
Oh and it would be so easy for a boy and his best friend
To tell the world that they've gone fishing, Mr. Sawyer and Mr. Finn

Every afternoon about five o'clock, old man Sawyer goes down to the dock
He knows the folks at the corner bar, has a glass of beer and a good cigar
Now and then someone will ask well just when did old Finn pass
Old man Sawyer says he never died, he just went fishing on the other side

Oh there's a steamboat coming half a mile around the bend
Hear the voice of old man river calling him again
Oh and it would be so easy for a boy and his best friend
To tell the world that they've gone fishing, Mr. Sawyer and Mr. Finn

And if fishes were wishes and wishes came true
I know what old man Sawyer'd do
He'd go riding on a raft and reel one in
And laugh once more with young Huck Finn

Oh there's a steamboat coming half a mile around the bend
Hear the voice of old man river calling him again
Oh and it would be so easy for a boy and his best friend
To tell the world that they've gone fishing, Mr. Sawyer and Mr. Finn

This Ain't the Night To Be Me

Life of the party, feel like a fool
Just look at this smile I'm wearing
And this isn't easy faking it all
Hiding the pain I'm bearing

She left a note on the dresser today
She said it's over and she's gone away
This ain't the night to be me

Counting the hours, checking my watch
Wishing this evening was over
Feeling my heartache, fighting the tears
Lord I could sure use a shoulder

I gotta go now cause I can't wait
To get home and let this poor heart break
This ain't the night to be me

(I) Tonight the only thing I
NEED is just another chance with
YOU you know I really need you here with me
TONIGHT I'm feeling so alone and
(I) never thought that I would
CRY like I'm crying these tears inside tonight

I gotta go now cause I can't wait
To get home and let this poor heart break
This ain't the night to be me

(I) Tonight the only thing I
NEED is just another chance with
YOU you know I really need you here with me
TONIGHT I'm feeling so alone and
(I) never thought that I would
CRY like I'm crying these tears inside tonight

Life of the party, feel like a fool
Feeling the heartache, fighting the tears
Counting the hours, checking my watch
Life of the party
Feeling the heartache

One Honest Tear

You wonder how long we'll last and when I see your fear
I want to answer forever with an honest tear
It's so easy to say what you're needing to hear
But I'd give anything sometimes for an honest tear

I can whisper your name and tell you how lucky I am
Oh but nothing can say what one honest tear can

I still don't know why it's taken me all these years
To trust in something so simple as an honest tear

I'd move the earth for you and maybe I do now and then
Oh but nothing can do what one honest tear can

One of these nights when I'm holding you near
You'll see all my love in one honest tear

I can whisper your name and tell you how lucky I am
Oh nothing can say what one honest tear can
I'd move the earth for you and maybe I do now and then
Oh but nothing can do what one honest tear can

Rich Like Me

On a hill at the edge of town
There's a man who lives like a king looking down on the city
There's a gate at the end of the drive
Every morning a long limousine rolls by shining pretty

'Bout the same time I'm being kissed goodbye
By the woman I've held all night
Who knows if the rich man's lady wants to hold his money
Or hold him tight

Oh he may be a rich man, living in the lap of luxury
Oh but if you talk about a rich man
Don't you understand man you're talking about me
He's got his treasure in the bank, but I've got you and I'm so thankful
Oh well it's good to be rich like, oh well I'd rather be rich like
Oh well it's good to be rich like me

Got a boss, he's a self made man, he owns this town and he's hell bent not to lose it
He works eighteen hours a day
Got a house and a pool and a plane and the ulcer to prove it
We got a home on a third of an acre with big dreams about adding on
You might not call it a mansion but why have a mansion if you never go home

Oh well he may be a rich man, living in the lap of luxury
Oh but if you're talking about a rich man
Don't you understand man you talking about me
He's got his treasure in the bank but I've got you and I'm so thankful
Oh but it's good to rich like, oh but I'm glad to rich like
Oh well it's good to be rich like me

Two Ships That Passed In the Moonlight Lyrics

He was chasing fame and fortune, glory bound
He was too much in a hurry to slow down
And she was running from some devils that she had inside of her
I'd like to say it was romantic but the truth is that they were

Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two stars that crossed around midnight
Without a chance either one might ever turn back
Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two hearts that flashed on a hot night
And then sailed on till they lost sight
And never looked back

There the story might have ended but you see
On that cross was born a child and that child was me
And darling now I must be going even though this might be love
I'd like to stay a little longer but I'm just a product of

Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two stars that crossed around midnight
Without a chance either one might ever turn back
Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two hearts that flashed on a hot night
And then sailed on till they lost sight
And never looked back

Bluer than Blue Lyrics

After you go
I can catch uo on my reading
After you go
I'll have a lot more time to sleeping
And when you're gone
Looks like things are gonna be a lot easier
Life will be a breeze you know
I really should be glad

But I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You're the only light
This empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than blue

After you go
I'll have a lot more room in my closet
After you go
I'll stay out all night long if I feel like it
And when you're gone
I can run through the house screaming
And no one will ever hear me
I really should be glad

But I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You're the only light
This empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than blue

I don't have to miss no TV shows
I can start my whole life over
Change the numbers on my telephone
But the nights will sure be colder

And I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You're the only light
This empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than blue

Bluer than blue
Bluer than blue

Blackmail Lyrics

Came here to see you yesterday
But the maid said you weren't home
So I came around today again
No, no, I didn't want to phone

It's rather a personal thing
You'll see what I mean
Your husband might be glad to know
Your past has not been clean

Blackmail, it's just a simple case of give and take
And it's blackmail, anyone can make a small mistake
And it's blackmail, it's just another case of you give and I take

Oh what a lovely house you have
It must have cost you quite a sum
With all your maids, with all your maids
And household help to get your cleaning done

All you need are some photographs to hang upon the wall
I have some here for you to see, I'm sure you'll buy them all

Blackmail, it's just a simple case of give and take
And it's blackmail, anyone can make a small mistake
And it's blackmail, it's just another case of you give and I take

Sorry for the trouble
I know you've things to do
Let's keep it short and sweet
I'm sure we'll meet again soon

Blackmail, it's just a simple case of give and take
And it's blackmail, anyone can make a small mistake
And it's blackmail, it's just another case of you give and I take

Blackmail, blackmail . . .

Almost Like Being Inlove Lyrics

What a night this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love

There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
I could swear that I'm falling in love

And the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
http://www.free-lyrics.org

From the way that I feel
Can't believe this is real
And it's almost like being in love

And the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me

From the way that I feel
Can't believe this is real
And it's almost like being in love

What a night, what a rare mood

Falling in love, falling in love
Like I'm falling in love

Almost Free Lyrics

Last night you pushed me a little too far
I was not coming back when I left in the car
And there was a time, an hour or two
I was feeling so free from you

I picked up a bottle and drove to the heights
I parked on a ridge and I looked at the lights
The engine was off and the radio on
And the singer sang and I sang along

And I was almost free, almost wasn't any you and me
I was almost free, whole new life ahead of me
Almost free

Sunrise rising over the wheel
The bottle is empty and so is the feel
This car knows it's the wrong thing to do
But it's driving me home to you

Maybe I'm too much in love to be strong
Maybe you knew I'd be back all along
And if I could be who you wanted I would
If I could forget I'd be gone for good

I was almost free, almost wasn't any you and me
I feel almost free
Whole new life ahead of me, almost free

Just too hard to walk this line
Maybe baby, I'll make it next time

Almost free, almost wasn't any you and me
I was almost free, whole new life ahead of me
I was almost free, almost wasn't any you and me
I was almost free, whole new life ahead of me
Almost free

After You Lyrics

I still dream of yesterday
When it almost all came true
We were living in a world with no goodbyes
And as your laughter fades away
I still reach out for you
How I'd ever let your love just slip right by

(CHORUS)
After you, there's too many hours in the day
Too many minutes I get lost in your memory
After you, there's too much silence in the night
Too much staying up alone, after you

Must be something I can say
To find a way to change your mind
Though we really need to give it one more try
Guess I just got lazy in love
You gotta keep that spark alive
I can't believe I let that fire die

(CHORUS)

You know I watch the blue light of every dawn
The day begins but the night lives on

(CHORUS)

After you, there's too many hours in the day
Too many minutes I get lost in your memory
