"That's All She Wrote"

"That's All She Wrote"

Hello mister mailman, thank you for the letter
It's from my baby far away
But wait mister mailman, this couldn't be my letter
Baby never writes this way

She didn't say I love you or I'm thinking of you
She didn't say sincerely or I miss you dearly
At the end was just goodbye my friend
Just a note
That's all she wrote

But look mister mailman, look at the writing,
There could be no mistake
I just didn't think the hand that wrote such sweet things
Would make my poor heart break

She didn't say I love you or I'm thinking of you
She didn't say sincerely or I miss you dearly
At the end was just goodbye my friend
Just a note
That's all she wrote

So please mister mailman, take away the letter
It's just a sad memory
You know mister mailman
The sooner I forget her
The better off I'll be

She didn't say I love you or I'm thinking of you
She didn't say sincerely or I miss you dearly
At the end was just goodbye my friend
Just a note
That's all she wrote
That's all she wrote
That's all she wrote

"That's Alright Mama"

Well that's alright mama
That's alright with you
Any way you do, well that's alright

Well that's alright now mama, any way you do

"That's Why I Love You Like I Do"

"That's Why I Love You Like I Do"

I just can't tell how much I love you
You know that I will tell you true
You're my baby, don't mean maybe
That's why I love you like I do

When you touch me, my hearts on fire
You kiss me and my lips are too
You're my baby, don't mean maybe
That's why I love you like I do

I never thought this would happen
Little girl, no not to me
But now you've set my heart tappin'
Everyone can plainly see

Now that we'll always be together
I'll never ever make you blue
You're my baby, don't mean maybe
That's why I love you like I do

I never thought this would happen
Little girl, no not to me
But now you've set my heart tappin'
Everyone can plainly see

When you touch me, my hearts on fire
You kiss me and my lips are too
You're my baby, don't mean maybe
That's why I love you like I do

You're my baby, don't mean maybe
That's why I love you like I do
You're my baby, I don't mean maybe
That's why I love you like I do

"The Bridge Washed Out"

"The Bridge Washed Out"

The bridge washed out
I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side

When I awoke this mornin'
The rain was pourin' down
I was gonna wed a little river girl
Just over the bridge across town
Now I'm runnin' up and down the river
And my nerves are drivin' me wild

Because the bridge washed out
I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side

Rain, oh rain stop a fallin'
Dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher warned my bride's a waitin'
And the weddin' bells are startin' to chime
I can't kiss and hold her
It's drivin' me outta my mind

Because the bridge washed out
I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side

And now I've got one foot in the water
But one foots solid on the ground
I'd try to swim that ragin' old river
But I know if I try I'll drown
There's not one boat around me
They've all gone out with the tide

Because the bridge washed out
I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side
'Cause the bridge washed out
I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side

"The Christmas Song"

"The Christmas Song"

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some
Mistletoe help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's
Child is gonna spy to see if
Reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this
Simple phrase to kids from
One to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways; "Merry Christmas to you"

"The Lady Stayed With Me"

"The Lady Stayed With Me"

Do you ever wonder where she is
Do you ever want to know
Did the lady's love stay with you
When you told her to go

Where did she go when you left her
And who is she thinking of
And do the lady's laughing eyes
Still look for love

Listen, the lady stayed with me this evening
The lady talked to me until dawn
The lady stayed with me and said
To tell you she's gone

Where did she run when you told her
And what did she have to say
And does the lady's love of life
Still get in your way

Well listen, the lady stayed with me this evening
The lady talked to me until dawn
The lady stayed with me and said
To tell you she's gone

Do you ever wonder where she is
Do you ever want to know
Did the lady's love stay with you
When you told her to go

Listen, the lady stayed with me this evening
The lady talked to me until dawn
The lady stayed with me and said
To tell you she's gone

The lady stayed with me this evening
The lady talked to me until dawn
The lady stayed with me and said
To tell you she's gone

"The Last Time Around"

"The Last Time Around"

This is my last time around
And I don't know where I'm bound
But I'm leavin' now, so don't look back at me
It's hard to pretend that you'd love me again
When there's nothing left inside for you to see
And I thank you for the love you've given me my friend
I don't know where I'm goin', but I won't see you again

Don't ask me how I know
But I've been here before
And the things that seem important, aren't you see
I know you don't believe in my philosophy
But I thank you for the love you've given me
So goodbye my love, I know you were my friend
I don't know where I'm goin', but I won't see you again

The love that you've given me, I thank you for my friend
I don't know where I'm goin', but I won't see you again

I know you don't believe in my philosophy
But I thank you for the love you've given me
This is my last time around
And I don't know where I'm bound
But I'm leavin' now, so don't look back at me
So goodbye my love, I know you were my friend
I don't know where I'm goin', but I won't see you again

See ya later, baby

"The Loneliest Sound"

"The Loneliest Sound"

The saddest sounds are the words goodbye
The softest sounds are the tears I cry
You walked away, and then I found
A heart that breaks is the loneliest sound

The cruelest sound that I have known
Is the silence when I'm left alone
You broke my heart and turned me down
And now I've heard the loneliest sound

The words that you found someone new
Keep pounding and pounding in my brain
And your footsteps as you walk, you walk away
Keep adding, adding to my pain

The happiest sound I'll never hear
Are just three words, oh I love you my dear
So I guess I'll hang around
Hearing just the loneliest sound

Drives me crazy
Can't stand it anymore
Aw it's getting to me

"The Loser Babe Is You"

"The Loser Babe Is You"

I know you think I'm crazy, cryin' out lazy
Winning days are through
Am I mistaken, have you been taking
More than you can use

And by the way, the loser babe is you

I hear you think I'm used, overworked and abused
If what you say is true
Why'd ya do me, I thought ya knew me
I've never been your fool

And by the way, the loser babe is you

It's a losers game, playing to win
It's all over before you begin
It's another day when you clear it away
It's just a lonely rendevouz with an old friend

And by the way the loser babe is you

It's a losers game, playing to win
It's all over before you begin
It's another day when you clear it away
It's just a lonely rendevouz with an old friend

I never meant any harm, I don't want to alarm you
You broke the only rule
Am I mistaken, have you been taking
More than you can use

And by the way the loser babe is you
By the way the loser babe is you
By the way the loser babe is you

"The Nearness Of You"

"The Nearness Of You"

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this old sensation
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft light to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you
