"Daydream"

"Daydream"



What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreaming 'bout my bundle of joy

And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those day for taking a walk outside
I'm blowin' the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face in somebody's new mowed lawn

I've been having a sweet dream
I've been dreaming since I woke up today
It started me in my sweet dream
And she's the one make me feel this way

Even if time is passing me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load
A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad

And you can be sure that if you're feeling right
A daydream will last along end of the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
Or you may be daydreaming for a thousand years

What a day for a daydream
Custom made for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreaming 'bout my bundle of joy

"Dinah"

"Dinah"



Dinah, is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina
If there is and you know her
Show her to me

Dinah, with her dixie eyes blazin'
How I'd love to sit and gaze in
To the eyes of Dinah Lee

Every night, why do I, shake with fright
Because my Dinah might
Change her mind about me

Dinah, if she wandered to China
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee

Every night, why do I, shake with fright
Because my Dinah might
Change her mind about me

Dinah, if she wandered to China
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee
Dinah Lee

"Do The Best You Can"

"Do The Best You Can"



Whenever you find a man
Who loves every woman he sees
There's always some kind of woman
That's puttin' him up a tree
Now that kind of man he ain't got
As much sense as a mule
You know everyone can love it
Just playin' you for a fool

Mmmm, oh no, it's not hard for you to understand
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can

If you marry the wrong kinda woman
And you get where you can't agree
Just damn well forget yourself
And let that woman be
A man ought to be a good husband
Quit tryin' to lead a fast life
Goin' about dressin' up other women
Won't put clothes on his own wife

Mmmm, oh no, it's not hard for you to understand
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can

Well there's a lot's of good women wanna marry
They wanna live well at home
Afraid they might get hold of a rowdy man
Who can't let other women alone
Well there's a lot's of good men who wanna marry
They wanna live well at home
But everytime they turn around there's a man there
Sayin' "Darlin' is he gone?"

Mmmm, oh no, it's not hard for you to understand
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can

"Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans"

"Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans"



Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong, the feelings getting stronger
The longer I stay away

Miss the moss covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mockin' birds use to sing
And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi
A hurryin' into spring

The moonlight on the bayou
A creole tune that fills the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And soon I'm wishing that I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's something more
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans

The moonlight on the bayou
A creole tune that fills the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And soon I'm wishing that I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's something more
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
More than I miss New Orleans

"Don't Blame It On Your Wife"

"Don't Blame It On Your Wife"



She works so hard all day long
In the fields on the hottest days
She'd never complain
And she wonders sometimes if it ever pays

She's an okay farmer, she's a good wife
And she's yours for your life
Don't put her down, she'll be there 'til you're dead
Buy her a tractor instead
Buy her a tractor instead

She forces a smile in the morning
To help you get out of your bed
She's always there first
And she slaves in the kitchen to see that you're fed

She's an okay farmer, she's a good wife
And she's yours for your life
Don't put her down, she'll be there 'til you're dead
Take her to town instead
Buy her a nightgown instead

I see that you're unamused
When you find out they're dressing
For dinner at night

Don't blame it on your wife

I see that you look confused
When you find out your life
Is different than mine

Don't blame it on your wife

Don't put her down, she'll be there 'til you're dead
Take her to town instead
Buy her a nightgown instead
Buy her a tractor instead

"Don't Breathe A Word"

"Don't Breathe A Word"



Please don't go tellin' her that I love her
I just don't want her to discover
I know she'd only think it's all too absurd
It's a secret, don't breathe a word

If only she knew what I've been wishin'
I'd be in a very bad position
I'd have the saddest tale of woe ever heard
It's a secret, don't breathe a word

I've been tryin' to figure out a new technique
My new plan is a smooth plan
But my technique is a little bit weak

As long as she doesn't suspect a thing
She'll be receptive when I spring
My big secret, don't breathe a word

About love, about love
About love, about love
About love

"Don't Leave Me Here"

"Don't Leave Me Here"



Don't leave me here
I'm a stranger in a foreign land
Will you help me make a stand
Don't leave me here

Don't pass me by
I'm a sailor on a darker sea
Can you shine a light on me
Don't leave me here

I know life's an open road
And who knows where it leads you
But there's someone here who needs you
If you find your way back home

I know life's an open road
And who knows where it leads you
But there's someone here who needs you
If you find your way back home

Don't leave me here
After all the things that we've been through
Can I be a part of you is there part of you to spare
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here

"Don't Leave Me This Way"

"Don't Leave Me This Way"



When you came along, oh happy was I
When you went away, I thought I would die
Oh baby, don't leave me this way
You know how much I need your touch
Maybe I love you a little too much
Oh baby, don't leave me this way

I thought you said our love was true
That you love me and I love you
But now you're gone and I am blue
Oh, what am I gonna do?

I just can't see why you wanted to go
You knew all along it would hurt me so
Oh baby, don't leave me this way

I thought you said our love was true
That you love me and I love you
But now you're gone and I am blue
Oh, what am I gonna do?

I just can't see why you wanted to go
You knew all along it would hurt me so
Oh baby, don't leave me this way
Oh baby, don't leave me this way

"Don't Let Your Goodbye Stand"

"Don't Let Your Goodbye Stand"



If you're changing can't include me
It was a matter of time I fear
'Cause I hear most regularly
Like the turning of the year
The young men gettin' older
Grow sincere much to dry
I'll understand if I can't hold you
I won't share the tears I'll cry

Would you steal from a dyin' man
Love from an outstretched hand
Upsets no prior plan
Believe in me

Don't let your goodbye stand
Don't let your goodbye stand
Don't let your goodbye stand

You can have the better of me
It's your game and it's your rules
I'll concede to labels gladly
As your warm affection cools
Don't put me out to pasture
Mend your lyin' eyes to me
And it's true it just won't last
If borrowed time is what you need

Would you steal from a dyin' man
Love from an outstretched hand
Upsets no prior plan
Believe in me

Don't let your goodbye stand
Don't let your goodbye stand
Don't let your goodbye stand

Would you steal from a dyin' man
Love from an outstretched hand
Upsets no prior plan
Believe in me

Don't let your goodbye stand
Don't let your goodbye stand
Don't let your goodbye stand
