Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
That'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me, you know it's a lie, oh but
That'll be the day when I die

You give me all your lovin' and all your turtle dovin'
Your hugs and kisses and your money too
You say you want me baby but then you tell me maybe
That someday that I'll be blue, well

That'll be the day when you say goodbye
That'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me, you know it's a lie, oh but
That'll be the day when I die

When cupid shot his dart he shot it at your heart
So if we ever part then I'll leave you
You say you want to hold me but then you tell me boldly
That someday well I'll be blue, well

That'll be the day when you say goodbye
That'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me, you know it's a lie, oh but
That'll be the day when I die

That'll be the day...
That'll be the day...
That'll be the day...
That'll be the day...

Spending all my money on the telephone
It seems like forever since I heard from you back home
You know it hurts to be alone
Nothing else to do cause I can only think of you

Sleeping with the memory in my motel room
Shut out all the day light
Even though it's afternoon
I guess I still woke up too soon
And you know it's true I can only think of you

Being at home ain't so bad
When you have someone who will love you like I do
And yes I love you you know I do
I love you even though I can't be true
I'm too far away from you
Still you know it's true I can only think of you

. . .


The sun shone lightly thru my window this morning
To bad you weren't here to help me get by
Ever since you've left my heart has been in mourning
I lost your love but I still don't know why

I don't know if I wanna go on living
I don't think that I will even try
Life is harder than I ever imagined
Without you standing here right by my side
I just break down and cry

Why did you leave me can you can give me a reason
Was it for the love of another man
My eyes are weary from the crying hours
Like the tears that left me I have no where to run
I don't know if I wanna go on living

I don't think that I will even try
Life is harder than I ever imagined
Without you standing here right by my side
I just break down and cry

[Solo]

I don't know if I wanna go on living
I don't think that I will even try
Life is harder than I ever imagined
Without you standing here right by my side
I just break down and cry

. . .


(.Powell/L.Goshorn/M.Reilly)

Well with a break-in come to stay, who stole my heart- I remember only glimpses
With a hard core smile like a homeless child I was reduced to present tenses

You have a high life feel Do you wanna make a deal- droppin' all pretenses
Go on, keep a grinnin'- I'm loose while I'm winnin'- no payin' loves expenses

It's been a long cold winter... bare black trees against an orange sky
Then your dreams all fade like the snow... and if I could, I would fly...
I would fly..

In an unscheduled fade away you left a trail that a baby could have followed
Well, honey don't you know that what you stole from me was only there to borrow

It's been a long cold winter... bare black trees against an orange sky
Then your dreams all fade like the snow... and if I could, I would fly...
I would fly...

It's been a long cold winter... bare black trees against an orange sky
Then your dreams all fade like the snow... and if I could, I would fly...
I would fly...

Lucille Crawfield... I will... I will
For you... are real... Lucille Lucille
Lucille Crawfield

Come Sunday it starts lookin' like you may
Throw a smile my way open your eyes
At these hard times and I wanna lay down
Guess I'll stay around through Monday's lies

Lucille Crawfield... I will... I will
For you... are real... Lucille Crawfield

Your songs dear they help me keep my head clear
In a simple country manner they bring laughter to my tears
I see you in your thin crepe dress, you're pickin' up the kid's mess
Your man has long since left, take a look at me

Faded wagon wheels walk over a curtain call encore
With your well rehearsed kitchen song

Lucille Crawfield... I will... I will
For you... are real... Lucille Lucille
Lucille Crawfield

(L.Goshorn)

Everybody makes mistakes and I know I can make as many as you
You know I'm just tryin' to save my soul, yes an' make a little money too
You know two people tryin' to get it together gonna learn a lot as they go along
And ya know that means you must forgive and forget
Or ya lose what ya learned before long

Gimme another chance, you know I'm sorry
Gimme just a one more chance to show I love you

There's somethin' that I have to say to you even though you'll never understand
You're lookin' for a way to make things easy without you ever liftin' your hand
It seems to me that if you scratch my back that I would do the same for you
And ya know that means you must forgive and forget
Or someone may forget about you

Gimme another chance, you know I'm sorry
Gimme another chance, you don't have to worry
Gimme just a one more chance to show I love you

Gimme another chance, you know I'm sorry
Gimme another chance to show I love you

Gimme another chance
Gimme another chance
Gimme just a one more chance to show I love you
Yes I do

(G.Powell/B.Hinds)

Linda come here I've got you in mind. you run away girl
I don't wanna grab you from behind and would you like to hear another feeble line

Time is short and I've used all of mine, chasin' you girl
Can't you see it's more than a crime, a Philadelphia girl I once left behind

Aren't you mine? Aren't you mine? Daylight comes in the nick of time
Beer bottles bouncin' we're on the shoulder pull er back on Jake on down the line
And tell me pretty lady aren't you mine?

Linda came here, I went on behind. we run away girl
Do you like to see a man lose his mind is that what it takes to make a child look fine

Aren't you mine? Aren't you mine? Daylight comes in the nick of time
Beer bottles bouncin' bus is on the shoulder pull er back on Jake on down the line
And tell me pretty lady aren't you mine?

One more dime, three minutes time. Don't hang up girl I'm on the line
I don't wanna cry on your shoulder. I'm hangin' it up girl, so down the line
You won't have to tell me pretty lady if you are mine

. . .


(G.Powell)

Watchful eyes... together in disguise
We might leave this place for a while
Hostess to mansion here if there's a chill
Makes it clear you'll have to stay close by

You are so near to me
I can't begin to see what you have done
The mountains close beside and fountains dancing by
Together our thoughts incline away

I'm quietly taken to your singing swayin' softly
My thoughts flowing in near perfect time
I'm inside with hidden fires standin' close
I realize the warmth you always confide

You are so near to me
I can't begin to see what you have done
The mountains close beside and fountains dancing by
Together our thoughts incline away

And wouldn't ya know it.. I couldn't show it if I tried
I know I won't blow it.. I'm on the stage most every night

Taken aside I've left the lies I was livin' before
Found a good woman now

You are so near to me
I can't begin to see what you have done
The mountains close beside and fountains dancing by
Together our thoughts incline away

You are so near to me
I can't begin to see what you have done
The mountains close beside and fountains dancing by
Away
Away
Away

. . .


(L.Goshorn)

It's Monday mornin' look like the sun ain't gonna shine
You know I got to sing a song to keep my head above the line
I'm smokin' stale cigarettes and drinkin' cold coffee my oh my

Lookin' for a place man all the way around the bay
It's only simple tunes but I can't find a cat to play
Well I ain't got no money but I'll help ya find a place to stay

Well I think I'll get a job maybe work a gas station for pay
It sure ain't no fun but I can see that it's the only way
Because the rent is due I'm gonna be out on the street in a day

Aw it's another Monday mornin' look like the sun ain't gonna shine
You know I got to sing a song to keep my head above the line
I'm smokin' stale cigarettes and drinkin' cold coffee my oh my

. . .


(L.Goshorn)

Well I'm tired and cold an' I just don't know who to see down here
To keep me warm an' tell my troubles to
I been wanderin' 'round in this lonely town an' I just can't see
What's to keep me here it's empty without you

I'm goin' home yes I'm goin' home
Race it a weighin' down my mind
I'm goin' home yes I'm goin' home
Wish I could go to stay this time

Well the rains are here and another year is gone again
And so am I it's lonely without you
I been gone so long I've forgotten your song an' the way ya try
To keep me high it's lonely without you

I'm goin' home yes I'm goin' home
Race it a weighin' down my mind
I'm goin' home yes I'm goin' home
Wish I could go to stay this time

I'm goin' home yes I'm goin' home
An' it makes me lose my mind
I'm goin' home yes I'm goin' home
Wish I could go to stay this time

Wish I could go to stay this time
