What can you do to me now
That you haven't done to me already
You broke my pride and made me cry out loud
What can you do to me now

I'm seeing things that I never thought I'd see
You've opened up the eyes inside of me
How long have you been doing this to me
I'm seeing sides of me that I can't believe
Someway somehow I'll make a man of me
I will build me back the way I used to be
Much stronger now the second time around cause
What can you do to me now
What can you do to me now...

. . .


On a Sunday morning sidewalk I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned
Cause there's something in a Sunday makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing sure to dying half as lonesome as the sound
On a sleepy city sidewalk Sunday morning coming down

Well I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for desert
Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stair to meet the day
I'd smoke my brain the night before with cigarettes and songs I'd been a picking
But I lit my first and watched the small kid cussin' at a can that he was kicking
Then I crossed the empty street and caught
The Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to something that I'd lost somewhere somehow along the way
On a Sunday morning sidewalk...
[ guitar ]
In the park I saw a daddy with the laughing little girl that he was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school and listened to the songs they were singing
Then I headedback for home and somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed through the canyons like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
On a Sunday morning sidewalk...
Coming down coming down coming down coming down

. . .


Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a night so slow
As time goes draggin' by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry

. . .


Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susan and the plans they made put an end to you
Walked out this mornin' and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought I'd see you again

You gotta look down upon me Jesus you gotta help me make a stand
You just gotta see me through another day
My body is aching and my time is at hand I won't make it any other way
Oh I've seen fire...

I've been working my mind through an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
And there's hours of time on the telephone lines to talk about the things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines and pieces on the ground
Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought I'd see you baby one more time again
I always thought I'd see you baby one more time again

. . .


Well I guess I been hanging around too long it's just about time I was moving along
But I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
And don't you worry and don't you moan it's just about time I was moving along
But I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I'm a gonna leave this sinful world before the dawning
Don't you worry and don't you moan it's just about time I was moving along
I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
[ piano ]
And when I'm dead and you carry me away
Don't you bury me deep cause I ain't gonna stay
I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
Just a little bit of dirt and a little bit of gravel
Don't you weigh me down cause you know I gotta travel
I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I'm gonna kneel at the feet...
(I'm gonna kneel at the feet...)

. . .


I'm a game that you used to play
I'm a plan that you didn't lay so well
I'm a fire that burns in your mind
Close your eyes I'm a memory
I'm a love that you know from a song
I'm a voice on a green telephone
And I'm a day that lasted so long
Close your eyes I'm a memory
[ guitar ]
I'm a dream that comes with the night
And I'm a face that fades with the light
And I'm a tear that falls out of sight
Close your eyes I'm a memory

. . .


May the Lord's shining grace be yours, love
May the happiest face be yours, love
May the last fingertips
That touch these two lips
As life from me slips be yours, love

May the fruit of my toil be yours, love
May the food from my soil be yours love
And from this moment on
May a love that is strong
And lives on and on be yours, love

May the sons that I raise be yours, love
May the comforts that I praise be yours, love
And if I ever get weak
May the love words I speak
And the arms that I seek be yours, love
May the Lord's shining grace...
May the Lord's shining grace...

. . .


It's good to see that I can cry again
Now I return to life and live again
As the teardrops wash the heartaches from a man
I'm glad to say that I can cry again
So long my pride would not let my tears to fall
I walk walk to burning hell and never cry at all
As the teardrops wash the heartaches from a man
I'm glad to say that I can cry again

[ guitar ]

So long my pride would not let my tears to fall
I walk walk to burning hell and never cry at all
As the teardrops wash the heartaches from a man
It's good to know that I can cry again
I'm glad to say that I can cry again

. . .


The quiet way she sits there with her hand in mine
That's why I love her so that's why I love her so
And the way she's alwayas tender with my mind
That's why I love her so that's why I love her so
In a crowded room you'll never know she's there
Unless I need her and if I really need her
She'll gladly tell the world how much she cares
That's why I love her so that's why I love her so

[ guitar ]

In a crowded room...
That's why I love her so that's why I love her so

. . .


Today I started loving you again
And I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
And then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few teardrops that I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun
And today I started loving you again...

[ guitar ]

Today I started loving you again...
