"Letters Have No Arms"

"Letters Have No Arms"



I just got your letter dear sweetheart and darling I miss you oh so much
Your letter has cheered me but I'm lonesome lonesome just to feel your loving touch
Letters have no arms dear to hold me kisses on paper are so cold
These sweet things you write in your letter I wanna be with you dear when told
Letters never bring me the touch of your hand or none of your sweet loving charms
I get so lonesome for you darling and you know that letters have no arms

Letters have no arms dear to hold me...

"Like A First Time Thing"

"Like A First Time Thing"



Softly as a gentle summer rain
Dancing lightly on my window pane
That's the feeling when she touches my face
And I'm caught up in the magic of her warm loving ways
And I can't help feeling once again
It's like a first time thing
And when she quietly whispers my name
Rockets explode inside my brain
It's like I'd never touched her before
And I've guessed that's what makes me want to touch her all the more
And I can't help feeling once again
It's like a first time thing
Once you've turned a certain page in life
The frieworks just seem to disappear
She takes me back to the first stage in life
It's like the Fourth of July each day of the year
And in a world where people constantly change
Somehow she's kept our world the same
Or maybe it just seems that way to me
'Cause love can make a man see the things he wants to see
And I still can't help feeling once again
It's like a first time thing

"Like Old Times Again"

"Like Old Times Again"



Here she comes again looking like the dream she’s always been
There she goes again breaking my heart
Here I am again feeling like the fool that never wins
Here I go again falling apart

Lord I wish that it could be like old times again
I wish that I could hold her the way I held her then
But we’ve seen the last of love and it’s useless to pretend
Cause it’s never gonna be like old times again

Look at me still clinging to a memory
And look at her clinging to someone else
Look at them she’s so much in love with him
And look at us there’s nothing left

Lord I wish that it could be like old times again
I wish that I could hold her the way I held her then
But we’ve seen the last of love and it’s useless to pretend
Cause it’s never gonna be like old times again

No it’s never gonna be like old times again

"Little Green Apples"

"Little Green Apples"



And I wake up in the morning with my hair down in my eyes and she says hi
And I stumble to the breakfast table while the kids are going off to school goodbye
And she reaches out and takes my hand squeezes it and says how you feelin' hon
And I look across at smiling lips that warm my heart and see my morning sun

And if that's not loving me then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
There's no such thing as Doctor Suess
Disneyland and Mother Goose is no nursery rhyme

God didn't make little green apples and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when myself is feeling low I think about her face aglow and ease my mind
Sometimes I call her up at home knowing she's busy
And ask if she could get away and meet me and grab a bite to eat

And she drops what she's doing and she hurries down to meet me and I'm always late
But she sits waiting patiently
And smiles when she first sees me cause she's made that way
And if that ain't loving me then all I've got to say

God didn't make little green apples
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
There's no such think as make believe puppy dogs and autumn leaves and BB guns
God didn't make little green apples and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime

"Lonely Street"

"Lonely Street"



I'm looking 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?

Maybe on this lonely street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love die

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?

Maybe on this lonely street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury a broken dream
And watch an old love die

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?
Where's this place called lonely street?

"Lonely World"

"Lonely World"



Lonely world without you around me loneliness is all I can see
Empty hours stretch all till tomorrow lonely world is there no one for me
Lonely world there must be someone for me someone with arms to hold me tenderly
City streets I walk down alone now broken dreams I have for company
Quiet rooms that I spend my time in lonely world is there no one for me

Lonely world there must be...

"Lonesomest Lonesome"

"Lonesomest Lonesome"



Well, I scorched your favorite pan this morning
Trying to make some pancakes
Spilled the grease and had to stop and mop the floor
Sat there like a little baby crying in my cornflakes
I don't think I can take it anymore
Baby come home
This is the lonesomest, lonesome I've ever known.

Late last night I woke up trembling
With my arms wrapped round your pillow
And a lump as big as Texas in my throat
Sat there in the dark and played my guitar till the sun came up
And wrote the saddest song I ever wrote
Baby come home
This is the lonesomest, lonesome I've ever known.

The lonesomest, lonesome, oh, the saddest sad
The loneliest I've ever been alone
You were the best thing this poor boy ever had
Now you're gone.

Well, tonight I'm gonna get down on my knees and say a prayer
For the first time since I can't remember when
And maybe if I'm lucky when I wake up in the morning
You'll be soft and warm beside me once again
Baby come home
This is the lonesomest, lonesome
Lonesomest, lonesome I've ever known
Baby come home...

"Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)"

"Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)"



I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turning on the world, the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes

Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
Coming close together
With a feeling that I'd never known before in my time
She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again

Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been
Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying
Talking of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend

"Maiden's Prayer"
(with The Cherokee Cowboys)

"Maiden's Prayer"
(with The Cherokee Cowboys)



When the evening falls twilight shadows find
There beneath the stars an Indian maiden divine
The moon is on high and seems to see her there
In her eyes there's a light shining ever so bright
As she whispers a silent prayer
Every word reveals an empty broken heart
Broken by fate that's keepin' them so far apart
Lonely there she kneels and tells the stars above
In her arms he belongs and her prayer is a song
Her undying song of love

Every word reveals an empty broken heart...
