"Lifetime To Regret"

"Lifetime To Regret"

Tonight I'm all alone and broken hearted
A love we knew I never shall forget
And tell myself that lonely night we parted
I got a lifetime to regret.

They tell me you are happy with another
And I wonder if my memory lingers yet
The things I said the night we said goodbye, dear
Oh, I got a lifetime to regret.

If we could just erase the mistakes we made, dear
I'm sure we could find happy moments yet
But we can't change the past and I'm afraid, dear
That I got a lifetime to regret.

I know down in my heart that I'm forgivin'
'Cause I'm just like the fish caught in a net
I know true love is what mad my life worth livin'
I got a lifetime to regret

"Lily Of The Valley"

"Lily Of The Valley"

I have found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see,
All my needs to cleanse and make me fully whole.

In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay,
He tells me every care on Him to roll;
He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His bless'd will;
A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear,
From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.

Then sweeping up to glory to see His bless'd face,
Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll;
He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul...

"Living On Easy Street"

"Living On Easy Street"

Livin' on easy street with a dog and persian cat
A-livin' on easy street, we don't need this and that
Our bills are gonna be due and the baby will soon be too
But we draw our welfare checks this week
Livin' on easy street.

Well, our old ice box is empty and the cubboard is bare of beans
We don't have a pot, we don't have a garden but we're fulfillin' our dreams
In a two room shack on a twenty-foot lot they way we live it's the perfect spot
We're living on love and we sure live cheap
Livin' on easy street.

A-livin' on easy street with a dog and persian cat
Livin' on easy street we don't need this and that
Our bills are gonna be due and the baby will soon be too
But we draw our welfare check this week
Livin' on easy street.

A-livin' on easy street with a dog and persian cat
Livin' on easy street we don't need this and that
Our bills are gonna be due and the baby will soon be too
But we draw our welfare checks this week
Livin' on easy street.

We draw our welfare checks this week
Livin' on easy street.

Livin' on easy street...

"Lonely Know My Secret"

"Lonely Know My Secret"

There's a secret behind the smile you see
For this smile is just a part of me
But I know some can't see the signs
That show I'm hurtin' all the time
And the lonely know my secret they know you're on my mind
There's a secret behind the lies you tell
For inside is where the sorrow lies
Cause I'm living like the lonely do
For they've lost someone they love too
And the lonely know my secret they know what I go through
There's a secret behind the smile you see...
Yes the lonely know my secret they know I still love you

"Lonely Street"

"Lonely Street"

I'm lookin' for that Lonely Street
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called Lonely Street

A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street

Perhaps upon that Lonely Street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love die

If I could find that Lonely Street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street
Where's this place called Lonely Street...

"Lonesome Life"

"Lonesome Life"

(Have pity on me, please old lonesome, lonesome life)

Let's end it now, oh, lonesome life these heartaches
I'm tired inside and this old heart could use a rest
It might as well stop beatin' as far as she's concerned
And God, I know there's not a chance that she'll return

If you tell from me I can't go on in life
I'm dreaming from all memories of her tonight
I've changed my heart and left the world turn out the light
Have pity on me please, oh, won't you lonesome life?
(Have pity on my please, oh, won't you lonesome life?)

Oh, lonesome life, I've been through many things with you
Like sleepless nights and broken dreams and love we once knew
You know I served my purpose, so let's do what's right
And let me go from you, I plead oh, lonesome life

If you tell from me I can't go on in life
I'm dreaming from all memories of her tonight
I've changed my heart and left the world turn out the light
Have pity on me please, oh, won't you lonesome life
(Have pity on me please, oh, won't you lonesome life)

"Lonesome Old Town"

"Lonesome Old Town"

Well here I stand on this high ground
Looking out over this great big town
Searching for love that didn't treat me right
It's a lonesome old town tonight
I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay
A friend he told me that she came this way
He said that he saw her by the neon lights
It's a lonesome old town tonight
I see people walkin' and drivin' their cars
They're too far away for me to see who they are
I'm gonna go down so they will be in sight
It's a lonesome old town tonight
Well here I stand on this high ground
Looking for my baby but she can't be found
The stars are out and the moon is bright
It's a lonesome old town tonight
I'm passin' through I'm not here to stay...
Well here I stand on this high ground...
It's a lonesome old town tonight

"Lonesome Valley"

"Lonesome Valley"

You gotta walk that lonesome valley
And you gotta walk, walk it by yourself
Nobody else can walk it for you
You gotta walk, walk it by yourself.

Jesus walked this lonesome valley
And he had to walk it by Himself
Nobody else could walk it for Him
He had to walk, walk it by Himself.

Oh, you gotta walk that lonesome valley
Oh, you gotta go there by yourself
Nobody else can walk it for you
You gotta walk, walk it by yourself.

You must go and stand your trials
You have to stand it by yourself
Nobody else can stand it for you
You have to stand it by yourself.

Oh, you gotta walk that lonesome valley
Oh, you gotta walk it by yourself
Nobody else is gonna walk it for you
You gotta walk, walk it by yourself.

Some folks say that old John was a baptist
Some folks say he was a Jew
But the Bible claim, it plainly tells us
That old Johnny was a preacher, too.

Oh, you gotta walk that lonesome valley
Yeah, you gotta walk it by yourself
Nobody else is gonna walk it for you
You gotta walk, walk by yourself.

You gotta walk that lonesome valley
You gotta walk it by yourself
Nobody else is gonna walk it for you
You gotta walk, walk by yourself...

"Long Time To Forget"

"Long Time To Forget"

It will take a long time to forget you, my dear
A long, long time I'll regret you're not here
A long time remembering when I had you so near
It will take a long time to forget
There's a lot of people out a-walkin' tonight
Thinkin' about arms that held 'em so tight
Memories keep a-comin' in sight
Take a long, long time to forget
It will take a long time to forget you, my dear
A long, long time I'll regret you're not here
A long time remembering when I had you so near
It will take a long time to forget

I know a young fellow that lived down the street
He had a good woman everything was complete
He was understandin' yes, she was so sweet
It took a long, long time to forget
It takes a long, long time to forget you, my dear
A long, long time I'll regret you're not here
A long time remembering when I had you so near
It will take a long time to forget

Now there's an old sayin' you're as old as you feel
But time waits for no one and it never will
I keep a-wantin' and lovin' you still
It takes a long, long time to forget
It take a long, long time to forget you, my dear
A long, long time I'll regret you're not here
A long time remembering when I had you so near
It will take a long time to forget
It will take a long time to forget
It will take a long time to forget...

"Long Walk Off A Tall Rock"

"Long Walk Off A Tall Rock"

People keep talkin' and rockin' the boat,
Makin' trouble for you and me,
Their favorite pastime is diggin' up the past times
Little things that used to be.
Before I met you I'll bet you we made time
but to the past we've never returned,
So they can take a long walk off a tall rock,
As far as we're concerned.

Yeah, let 'em keep flappin' 'bout things that used to happen,
We'll take it with a little grain of salt,
'Cause I know, you know, things that happened long ago
Came to a screechin' halt.
They're very little people with minds to match
And I guess they never will learn,
So they can take a long walk off a tall rock,
As far as we're concerned.

They'll never know how it feels to get better,
If they've never made a mistake,
They're so afraid that we're gonna be happy,
They can't bear to give us a break.
They're very little people with minds to match
And I guess they never will learn,
So they can take a long walk off a tall rock,
As far as we're concerned.

Yeah, let 'em keep flappin' 'bout things that used to happen,
We'll take it with a little grain of salt,
'Cause I know, you know, things that happened long ago
Came to a screechin' halt.
They're very little people with minds to match
And I guess they never will learn,
So they can take a long walk off a tall rock,
As far as we're concerned.
