We Could

We Could

If anyone could find the joy that true love brings a girl and boy
We could, we could you and I
If anyone could ever say that their true love was here to stay
We could, we could you and I

When you're in my arms I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you I'm happy anywhere
If anyone could pray each night to thank the Lord that all is right
We could, we could you and I

When you're in my arms I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you I'm happy anywhere
If anyone could pray each night to thank the Lord that all is right
We could, we could you and I

We Had All The Good Things Going

We Had All The Good Things Going

It wasn't very long ago we had a love few people know
And everything was going oh so fine
I've trusted you you've trusted me the way that it's supposed to be
But the love slipped from us somewhere down the line
We had all of the good things going baby you know we did they were so kind
Enjoying the taste of the good life we all look for but few can't find
[ ac.guitar ]
It's gone but we can't understand how love could slip right through our hands
On down the line things seem so very right
Our love went on for all these years we both knew that we were sincere
Then suddenly it was gone just over night
We had all of the good things...
[ ac.guitar ]
Now that we've gone our seperate ways I still recall those brighter days
The days that didn't seem so very long
Neither of us are to blame we overly know that it's a shame
That all that we had going now is gone
We had all of the good things...

What Money Can't Buy

What Money Can't Buy

To watch the rain fall the fields and the valleys hear the thunder roar across the sky
See the sun's great shine through a wall without windows
We hold hands and smile at what money can't buy
We haven't a mansion seen only by me and you our days without sunshine are few
Yet we always love even though it'd make us cry
Cause we hold hands and smile at what money can't buy
[ piano ]
Our children are playing no shoes on their feet and patch after patch upon their knees
Yet we hear only laughter and people ask why
Cause we hold hands and smile at what money can't buy
We haven't a mansion...
Cause we hold hands and smile at what money can't buy

When I Stop Leaving (i'll Be Gone)

When I Stop Leaving (i'll Be Gone)

How do some folks stay in love
Like a honeymoon couples that can't get enough?
How can love be tender
Yet so tough, as it grows?

I've left you and I've come back
So many times, I can't keep track
What is it one of us lacks
What do you know?

When I stop leaving and I'll be gone
When I stop leaving you, I'll be gone
Love's not gettin' any clearer
Sometimes I think, it's all done with mirrors
When I stop leaving I'll be gone

I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone

I need you and you need me
Still we pay for love, love that's free
Should we hang together
Or independently and let it go

I come back, each time I leave
We make love then we shout and scream
Bottom line time what does it mean
Oh, do you know?

When I stop leaving and I'll be gone
When I stop leaving you, I'll be gone
Love's not gettin' any clearer
Sometimes I think, it's all done with mirrors
When I stop leaving I'll be gone

When I stop leaving and I'll be gone
When I stop leaving you, I'll be gone

When The Trains Come In

When The Trains Come In

Another lonely day is almost gone
The sun's going down again and you're still not home

The last of the trains have all come in
But I'll come back tomorrow and wait again

I know the conductor he thinks I'm losing my mind
'Cause I come here and wait so many times

But me and the ticket man are the best of friends
So, I'll come back tomorrow when the trains come in

It's been so long ago since she went away
She said, she'd return again in a couple of days

But I'll wait here forever if it takes till then
So, I'll come back tomorrow when the trains come in

I know the conductor

Yes, I'll come back tomorrow when the trains come in

Where Do I Put Her Memory

Where Do I Put Her Memory

I've taken down all of her pictures
I've cleaned out all of her drawers
I've painted over the scratches
From all of our little wars

I've put away every gift
That she ever gave to me
Now everything is in its place
Except for her memory

And where do I put her memory
When it haunts me night and day
I can't hide it in the closet
And Lord, I can't throw it away

And where do I put her memory
When it's always in my mind
I can't chase it, erase it, I just have to face it
It's gonna be there a long, long time

I got rid of the pillow
Where she used to lay her head
I've picked up her hairpins and curlers
That she dropped on her side of the bed

I've locked away each souvenir
And thrown away the key
Now everything is in it's place
Except for her memory

And where do I put her memory
When it's always in my mind
I can't chase it, erase it, I just have to face it
It's gonna be there a long, long time
It's gonna be there a long, long time

Which Way Do We Go

Which Way Do We Go

Which way do we go now you and I should I laugh now or should I cry
Think of what you're saying now to me cause it's still you babe and I'm still me
Did I let you down in some way I don't know of
But I just can't believe that we've run out of love
That part about leaving say it's so one more time love which way do we go
[ fiddle ]
You know if I lose you I'll still go on but all my reasons they'll be gone
So while you're making your mind up heaven knows
My heart's crying which way do we go
Did I let you down in some way...
One more time love which way do we go

Whose Arms Are You In Tonight

Whose Arms Are You In Tonight

Whose arms are you in tonight darling is it someone I know
Whose arms are holding you tight so baby don't ever go

If arms were just harbors then you seen the world from one to another you sail
Yes you tried to hide it but have you feel low it's almost like reading your mail
Whose arms are you in tonight...
No baby don't ever go

Why Baby Why

Why Baby Why

Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry

Well, I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You're runnin' wild a kickin' up your heels
A leavin' me home with a hand full of bills

I can't live without you and you know it's true
But there's no livin' with you so what'll I do
I'm goin' honky tonkin', gettin' tight as I can
And maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man

Well, tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
I can't live without you 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why

I don't know, but I've heard say
That every little dog is gonna have his day
You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet

I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then
Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore
When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door

Well, tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
I can't live without you 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why

Why Didn't I Think Of That

Why Didn't I Think Of That

I hear your new love sends you pretty something different each day
And he never forget to call you whenever he's away
He sends you flowers and candy tied in ribbons of blue
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you
He takes you dancing out with the crowd
And when you walk beside him he looks so proud
He does thoughtful little things that I didn't do
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you
But I was so concerned with other things I couldn't see
How lonely you were for the love you never got from me
I should have told you every day I was thankful for you
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you
