"Make Me Wonderful In Her Eyes"

"Make Me Wonderful In Her Eyes"



Every night I bow my head
And say a prayer for daily bread
Tonight I ask a greater cry
Make me wonderful in her eyes

Expose my heart and lay it there
Let her see the love that's there
Usual hours so great and white
Make me wonderful in her eyes

Let her look at me through the eyes of love
And treasure me the skies above
Let her vision and behold
Come near up of my very soul

Reflect our love the twice it's side
Make me wonderful in her eyes
Make me wonderful in her eyes

"Make The World Go Away"

"Make The World Go Away"



Oh make the world go away and get it off my shoulder
It goes bigger day by day please make the world go away
I was wrong the day I left you and let the world leave me astray
If you'll say that you forgive me you'll make the world go away
Oh make the world go away and get it off my shoulder
I go weaker day by day please make the world go away
I'm sorry that I hurt you I'll make it up day by day
Can you love me like you used to and make the world go away
Make the world go away and get it off my shoulder
Can you love me like you used to and make the world go away
Say the things you used to say and make the world go away
I can't stand another day please make the world go away
Say you'll take me back to stay and make the world go away

"Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys"

"Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys"



Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
And don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home, they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis
And each night begins a new day
If you don't understand him, and he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away

Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home, they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms, clear mountain mornings
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do
Sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him
Do things to make you think he's right

Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home, they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

"Mansion On The Hill"

"Mansion On The Hill"



Tonight down here in the valley I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted the story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love dear in your loveless mansion on the hill

I've waited all through the years love to give you a heart true and real
Cause I know you're living in sorrow in your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window the trees stand so lonesome and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear in your loveless mansion on the hill

"Many Tears Ago"

"Many Tears Ago"



Many tears ago you said you love me oh how happy was this heart of mine
Then a dark cloud came from out of nowhere and the sun went down no more to shine
Many tears ago I learned too well love what it means to bear a heavy load
I found out just what has meant by sorrow many tears ago along life's road

Many tears ago I built a castle built it very strong and very tall
Though I thought it had a firm foundation many tears ago I saw it fall
Many times I've wished that I would die love better to be dead than feel so low
All I ever lived or ever hoped for left me many many tears ogo

Many tears ago you called me darling in my dreams I hear you say it now
I can almost feel your arms around me arms that never meant to keep the vow
Many tears ago 'twas in the springtime when you said goodbye and went away
Oh how well this aching heart remembers many many tears ago today

"Margie's At The Lincoln Park Inn"

"Margie's At The Lincoln Park Inn"



My name's in the paper where I took the boy scouts to hike
My hands're all dirty from working on my little boy's bike
The preacher came by and I talked for a minute with him
My wife's in the kitchen and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn
And I know why she's there I've been there before
But I made her a promise that I wouldn't cheat anymore
I tried to ignore it but I know she's in there my friend
My mind's on a number and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn
Next Sunday it's my turn to speak to the young people's class
They expect answers to all of the questions they ask
What would they say if I spoke on a modern day sin
And all of the Margies at all of the Lincoln Park Inns
The bike is all fixed and my little boy's in bed asleep
His little old puppy is curled in a ball at my feet
My wife's baking cookies to feed to the Bridge Club again
And I'm out of cigarettes and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn
And I know why she's there

"Misty Morning Rain"

"Misty Morning Rain"



She asked me would I do her one last favor
Would I wait around and take her to the plane
I said I would and waited by the window
And outside I saw the misty morning rain

Misty morning rain please keep on falling
Make her think my eyes are wet with rain
Misty morning rain help me keep smiling
When we say goodbye in misty morning rain

I couldn't bear to watch as she was packing
All her soft things our last bottle of champaigne
I knew right then our party was all over
And goodbye would be a misty morning rain

Misty morning rain please keep on falling...

She almost saw me crying at the airport
When she asked me would I walk her to the plain
And it was raining even hearder but I kissed her
For the last time in the misty morning rain

Misty morning rain please keep on falling...
When we say goodbye in misty morning rain

"My Baby's Gone"

"My Baby's Gone"



Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind stand still
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry up the raindrops then hold back the sun
The world has ended, my baby's gone

I'll wake up sometime in the night and realize you're gone
I toss and turn and stare at darkness waiting for the dawn
I try to tell my lonely heart, we'll make it all alone
But still the world has ended, my baby's gone

Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind stand still
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry up the raindrops push back the dawn
The world has ended my baby's gone
Don't they know the world has ended, my baby's gone

"My Confession"

"My Confession"



Sweetheart, I'm all alone tonight
Thinking about my wasted past
I see that you were always right
And now I'm at your feet at last

Take my heart and let it live
This is all I have to give
So please believe me when I say
For all the wrongs I've done I'll pay

Sweetheart, you know I love you
So why did I ever let you go
In dreams you're all that I can see
So won't you reconsider me

My confession to you, dear
Makes me shed a silent tear
My heart would be so light, sweetheart
If you would say we'll never part

"My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You"

"My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You"



I may say that I don't care, hold my head up in the air
Even tell my friends I'm glad that you don't call
But when the day is through, my heartaches start anew
And that's when I miss you most of all

And my arms, keep reaching for you
My eyes, keep searching for you
My lips, keep calling for you
And my shoes keep walking back to you

No matter how much I pretend, I wish I had you back again
For nothing else means half as much as you
My world just seemed to die the day you said goodbye
And I can't forget no matter what I do

And my arms, keep reaching for you
My eyes, keep searching for you
My lips, keep calling for you
And my shoes keep walking back to you
And my shoes keep walking back to you
