When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye

Grannmarie Tue 16-Sept-25 22:43:05

I'll never let you go
Why? Because I love you.
I'll always love you so
Why? Because you love me.
No broken hearts for us
Cos we love each other
And with our faith and trust
There could be no other
Why? Cos I love you
Why? Cos you love me too...

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
and I can hear a bell ring
(One more look) and I forget everything, whoa
Mamma mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My, my, just how much I've missed you?
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My, my, I could never let you go

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no (uh-uh)

… I hear the train a comin', it's rolling 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone
… When I was just a baby my mama told me, son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry
… I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures me

Grannmarie Sun 14-Sept-25 19:53:27

Train whistle blowin'
Makes a sleepy noise
Underneath the blankets
Go all the girls and boys
Rockin', rollin', ridin',
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away.

You can catch it if you want a ride
Don't you worry if it pass you by
You can catch it if you want a ride
Don't you worry if it pass you by
Lord you know the reason why
I'm on this train till I die
The train I ride goes to God knows where
I don't know and I don't care
The train I ride goes to God knows where
I don't know and I don't care
If you ain't got money then don't despair
'Cause you don't have to pay no fare
Please now brother don't you ride this train
Ride the wrong rails, live your life in vain
Please now brother don't you ride this train
Ride the wrong rails, live your life in vain

Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
I don't know what train he's on
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Don't know where he's headin' for
What he's done against the law
Got no future, got no hope
Just nothin' but the rope

They sat together in the park as the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him he felt a spark tingle to his bones
It was when he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate

They walked along by the old canal a little confused I remember well
And then they stopped in a strange hotel with the neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
And moving with a simple twist of fate

Grandyma Sat 13-Sept-25 11:20:43

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you, ah-ah
I can't live with or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you, ohh
I can't live with or without you
With or without you
With or without you, ohh
I can't live with or without you
With or without you

Well I can't forget this evenin', and your face when you were leavin'
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

Well I can't forget tomorrow when I think of all my sorrow
I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore

Grandyma Thu 11-Sept-25 10:32:16

Just kiss me once and kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Since can't remember when
It's been a long, long time
You'll never know how many dreams
I've dreamed about you
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time

dayvidg Wed 10-Sept-25 16:52:20

Let me wrap you in my warm and tender love, yeah
Let me wrap you in my warm and tender love
Oh, I loved you for a long, long time
Darling, please say you'll be mine
And let me wrap you in my warm and tender love

Grandyma Tue 09-Sept-25 18:23:22

Let the music play
I just wanna dance the night away
Yeah right here, right here, where I'm gonna stay
All night long
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-wee!
Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Movin', kickin', groovin'
Keep the music strong
On and on and on, and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on, and on and on and on...

I'm out here dancing, and still - huh!
I can't erase the things I feel
The tender love we used to share
Seems it like it's no longer there
I, I've got to hide what's killing me inside

dayvidg Tue 09-Sept-25 18:09:02

Well, my friends, the time has come
Raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on

Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We're going to party, karambo, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along
We're going to party, karambo, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along

All night long (all night), all night (all night)

A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need
A little bit of Tina is what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man.

dayvidg Mon 08-Sept-25 17:00:05

But all I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over
Santa Monica Boulevard

Grandyma Sat 06-Sept-25 19:44:49

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place

dayvidg Sat 06-Sept-25 16:09:36

Where does our love lie
In the middle of nowhere
How could you let it die
In the middle of nowhere

Baby, won't you tell me
What am I to do
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Getting nowhere with you

Grandyma Fri 05-Sept-25 23:29:40

Right in the middle of the Cotton Belt
Down in the Mississippi Delta
Wearin' last year's possum belt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta
Have me a little that Johnny cake
A little bit o' that apple pandowdy
Pickin' them scuppernongs off that vine
Chigger bite, it's goin' to beat howdy
Ate me a bucket of muscadine
Sit on the riverbank after dark
And drop my line down a crawdad hole
Do him in with a scaly bark

dayvidg Fri 05-Sept-25 14:35:29

Woman of the country now I've found you
Longing in your soft and fertile delta
And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing
For the warmth and tender shelter of my body
Oh you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady
Yes, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady

Grandyma Fri 05-Sept-25 11:41:21

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

She's forty-one, and her daddy still calls her baby
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark haired man
In her younger days, they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised her he'd take her for his bride

dayvidg Wed 03-Sept-25 17:52:32

The dawn crept away like an early morning kiss
And the stars on that day, troubled, toiled, sunset red
The Sun shone high in the clustered, rosy, spangled sky
The world turned around, people lived, people died
The dawn crept away, the dawn crept away
She was black and green in the early morning light
And the sweet, sweet field in the hallowed, holy night
The dawn crept away, the dawn crept away
The dawn crept away

Grandyma Tue 02-Sept-25 23:39:38

The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes
My love and see
All the lovely things
You are to me

Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile

Grannmarie Tue 02-Sept-25 23:32:49

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck feelin' dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people lookin' half dead
Walkin' on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

dayvidg Mon 01-Sept-25 16:48:41

Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin', everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day? Hey
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, hey
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
