Willie Nelson Album

Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song!

That field of corn, would never see a plough
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A young one's born, but he's no good no how
Without a song!

I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll ( Roll you river Jordan! )
I'll get along as long as a song is strung
In my soul!

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!

( I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know the Jordan will roll,
I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul! )
In my soul!

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!

Once in a while will you try to give one little thought to me
Though someone else maybe nearer your heart

Once in a while will you dream of the moments I shared with you,
Moments before we two drifted apart.

In love's smoldering ember, one spark may remain,
If love still can remember the spark may burn again.

I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memory,
Knowing you think of me once in a while.

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

C’est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m’aimais et je t’aimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que m’aimais moi qui t’aimais
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s’aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants désunis

I can’t begin to tell you
How much you mean to me.
My world would end if ever we were through.
I can’t begin to tell you
How happy I would be
If I could speak my mind like others do.
I make such pretty speeches
Whenever we’re apart,
But when your near
The words I choose
Refuse to leave my heart.
So take the sweetest phrases
The world has ever known
And make believe
I’ve said them all to you.

I saw the harbor lights
They only told me we were parting
The same old harbor lights that once broughts you to me
I watch'd the harbor lights
How could I help if tears were starting?
Goodbye to tender nights beside the silvery sea
I longed to hold you near and kiss you just once more
But you were on the ship and I was on the shore
Now I know lonely nights
For all the while my heart is whispering
Some other harbor lights
Will steal your love from me

There’s a story the gypsies know is true
That when your love wears golden earrings
She belongs to you
An old love story that’s known to very few
But if you wear those golden earrings
Love will come to you
By the burning fire, they will glow with ev’ry coal
You will hear desire whisper low inside your soul
So be my gypsy
Make love your guiding light
And let that pair of golden earrings
Cast their spell tonight

You'll never know just how much I love you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know for heaven I told you so
A million or more times
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now

[ fiddle - guitar ]

You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now

A rose must remain with the sun and the rain
Or it's lovely promise won't come true
To each his own
To each his own
And my own is you
What good is a song if
The words just don't belong
And a dream must be a dream for two
No good alone
To each his own
And my own is you
If a flame is to grow
There must be a glow
To open each door there's a key
I need you I know
I can't let you go
Your touch means too much to me
Two lips must insit and two more to be kissed
Or they'll never know what love can do
To each his own
I've found my own one and only you

Or they'll never know what love can do

This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Climb aboard a butterfly,
An' take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An' do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin' off the trees,
On a dreamer's holiday!

Every day for breakfast,
There's a dish of scrambled stars,
An' for lunchin' you'll be munchin'
Rainbow candy bars,
You'll be livin' a la mode,
On Jupiter and Mars,
On a dreamer's holiday!

Make it a long vacation,
Time, there is plenty of,
You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!

Help yourself to happiness,
An' sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes an' concentrate,
An' dream for all you're worth,
You will feel terrific,
When you get back down to earth,
From a dreamer's holiday!
