Everly Brothers

LESS OF ME

LESS OF ME


Let me be a little kinder
let me be a little blinder
To the faults of those around me
let me praise a little more

Let me be when I am weary
just a little bit more cheery
Think a little more of others
and a little less of me

Let me be a little braver
when temptation bids me waver
Let me strive a little harder
to be all that I should be

Let me be a little meeker
with a brother that is weaker
Let me think more of my neighbour
and a little less of me

Let me be when I am weary
just a little bit more cheery
Let me serve a little better
those that I am striving for

Let me be a little meeker
with a brother that is weaker
Think a little more of others

LET IT BE ME

LET IT BE ME


I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me

Don?t take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you?ll always let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you?ll always let it be me

LIFE AIN'T WORTH LIVING

LIFE AIN'T WORTH LIVING


Life ain't worth living
If I can't live it, live it with you

When I gave you my heart
Then I was cheated
You didn't give me love
Love that I needed

Was it a fair exchange?
My love for cheating
Now I die each time
You give a kiss away

Life ain't worth living

LIGHTNING EXPRESS

LIGHTNING EXPRESS


The lightning express from the depot so grand
Had started out on its way
All of the passengers that were on board
Seemed to be happy and gay

But one little boy who sat by himself
Was reading a letter he had
You could plainly tell by the look on his face
That the contents of it made him sad

The stern old conductor then started his round
Taking tickets from everyone there
And finally reaching the side of the boy
He gruffly demanded his fare

"I have no ticket" the boy then replied
"But I'll pay you back someday"
"Then I'll put you off at the next stop we make"
But he stopped when he heard the boy say

"Please Mr. Conductor
Don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world sir
Is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment sir
And may not live through the day
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye
Before God takes her away."

A girl sitting near was heard to exclaim
"If you put him off, it's a shame."
Taking his hand, a collection she made
The boy's way was paid on the train

"I'm obliged to you miss for your kindness to me."
"You're welcome," she said, never fear
Each time the conductor would pass through the car
The boy's words would ring in his ear

"Please Mr. Conductor
Don't put me off of this train
The best friend I have in this world sir
Is waiting for me in pain
Expecting to die any moment sir
And may not live through the day
I wanna reach home and kiss mother goodbye

LIKE STRANGERS

LIKE STRANGERS


Like strangers, that?s what we are
Darling, how can lovers pull apart so far
Like strangers, how can it be
Only days ago we loved so tenderly

I love you, truly I do
And I hope deep in your heart you love me too
Let?s forget that we?ve been angry
Let?s be lovers like before
And swear not to be like strangers any more

Let?s forget that we?ve been angry
Let?s be lovers like before
And swear not to be like strangers any more

LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM OF THE FALLING RAIN

LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM OF THE FALLING RAIN


Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain, please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain, won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter
Oh, listen, listen to the falling rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter
Oh, listen, listen to the falling rain

LITTLE OLD LADY

LITTLE OLD LADY


Little old lady passing by
Catching everyone's eye
You have such a charming manner
Sweet and shy

Little old bonnet set in place
And a Smile on your face
You're a perfect picture in your
Lavender and lace

Little bit of business here
Little bit of business there
Bet that you've been window shopping
All around the square

Little old lady, time for tea
Here's a kiss, two or three
You're just like that little old lady
I hold dear to me

Little bit of business here,
Little bit of business there
Bet that you've been window shopping
All around the square

Little old lady, time for tea
Here's a kiss, two or three
You're just like that little old lady
I hold dear to me

LIVING TOO CLOSE TO THE GROUND

LIVING TOO CLOSE TO THE GROUND


Listen and hear each word
Stop or you?ll miss the birds
They sing in the top of the trees
Sometimes when you look, you can?t see
But up there you will know that its round
You?re living too close to the ground

Come where the lights are grand
Leave now without a plan
You can get away if you choose
Confess it, you?ve nothing to lose
And I can show you where it?s found
You?re living too close to the ground

Rush so you?ll pass it by
Don?t let it catch your eye
Don?t stop you might look a fool
Standing with love in your eyes
Trying hard to believe what you?ve found
You?re living too close to the ground

I once held her close to me
Listened and heard her breathe
Just like I have done all my life
Her heart was the image of mine
Ah, but my wings just couldn?t be found

LONELY AVENUE

LONELY AVENUE


My room has got two windows
But the sunshine never comes through
It's awful dark and dreary
Since I broke off, baby, with you
I live on a lonely avenue,
My little girl wouldn't say, “I do”
Well, I feel so sad and blue
It's all because of you
I could cry, cry, cry
I could die, die, die
I live on a, lonely avenue
A lonely avenue

My covers they feel like leather
My pillow it feels like stone
I've tossed and turned so every night,
I'm not used to sleeping alone
I live on a lonely avenue,
My little girl wouldn't say, “I do”
I feel so sad and blue
It's all because of you.
I could cry, cry, cry
I could die, die, die
I live on a, lonely avenue
A lonely avenue

I've been so sad and lonesome
Since you've left this town
If I knew where you had gone child,
Well I'd be highway bound
I live on a lonely avenue,
My little girl wouldn't say, “I do”
Well, I feel so sad and blue
It's all because of you.
I could cry, cry, cry
I could die, die, die
I live on a, lonely avenue, a lonely avenue

LONELY ISLAND

LONELY ISLAND


A letter just came from Nashville
My sweet baby says she's blue
Gotta get back to Nashville
Or my heart will break in 2
Oh I miss her so; I just gotta go
I've got the Nashville blues

Gotta get back to Nashville
'Cause that's where the good times are
Ever since I left Nashville
The kicks ain't been up to par
I'm lonely & though I'm livin' just low
I've got the Nashville blues

Wanna go see my Sally
& tell her that I still care
Wanna see Prinner's Alley
& dig all the cool spice there
I'm makin' to be in old Tennessee
I've got the Nashville blues
