Your Cheatin' Heart lyrics

Your Cheatin' Heart lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : Your cheatin' heart Don Mclean Your cheatin' heart will make you weep You'll cry and cry and try to sleep But sleep won't come the whole night through Your cheatin' heart will tell on you When tears come down like falling rain You'll toss around and call my name You'll walk the floor the way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you When tears come down like falling rain You'll toss around and call my name You'll walk the floor the way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you

You Have Lived lyrics

You Have Lived lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : You have lived such a gentle life upon this earth That I am stunned by your sight. If I could give but a token of the love you have, Then I might not be this lonely tonight. Let them have their smug and their cool, confined by fashion and peer. I love you for your courage in this frightened atmosphere. I love you for your courage in this frightened atmosphere. Oh, there are so few brave one's like you. Need I explain? Never wondering what to do, what to venture, what to gain. And, you have loved, in a total way, from flesh to soul. You speak, without coy without pose. Your eyes can see that the emperor has lost his clothes. And what's more, you'll tell the whole world what he stole. Let them have their fad and their fix, confined by fashion and peer. I love you for your courage in this frightened atmosphere. I love you for your courage in this frightened atmosphere.

Words And Music lyrics

Words And Music lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : You make me Think I'm listenin' to a symphony, You make me Hear the beauty of your poetry! You got a good way with music, baby, Got a good way with words, You got a good way with music, baby, Got a good way with words. You make me Hear the lyric in the harmony, You make me Hear the chorus in the melody! You got a good way with music, baby, Got a good way with words, You got a good way with music, baby, Got a good way with words. I see your face, And when you walk my way, The violins Always start to play, And when you talk, I don't care what you say, It comes out I love you so, Anyway, you should know You make me Think I'm listenin' to a symphony, You make me Hear the beauty of your poetry! You got a good way with music, baby, Got a good way with words, You got a good way with music, baby, Got a good way with words. You got a good way with music, baby, Got a good way with words, You got a good way with music, bab...

Wonderful Night lyrics

Wonderful Night lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : It's a wonderful night and the music is right Will you dance with me and hold me tight I don't know why I feel this way It's how I feel when they start to play That old song we heard so long ago That I wonder if I can remember every word It's amazing how fast years have gone past And that some kinds of love just don't seem to last But win or loose, I love you still It's you I choose and I always will And that old song we heard so long ago Still reminds me of the girl I used to know But that's all in a dream that's been over for years Now things are what they seem, only minus the tears So, I think of you now the way you were then And I'll manage somehow to keep trying again But I don't mind if you don't write Cause I recall that magic night And that old song we heard so long ago Was more beautiful than the love we used to share Yes, that old song we heard so long ago Was more beautiful tha...

Wonderful Baby lyrics

Wonderful Baby lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : Wonderful baby livin' on love the Sandman says maybe he'll take you above, Up where the girls fly on ribbons and bows, where babies float by, just Counting their toes. Wonderful baby nothin' but new, the World has gone crazy, I'm glad I'm not you. At the beginning or is it the end? It goes In and comes out and starts over again. Wonderful baby livin' on love the Sandman says maybe he'll take you above, Up where the girls fly on ribbons and bows, where babies float by, just Counting their toes. Wonderful baby I'll watch while you grow. If I knew the future you'd be first to know. But I don't know nothin' of what Life's about, Just as long as you live, you'll never find out. Wonderful baby, nothin' to fear. Love whom you will, but doubt what you hear. They'll whisper sweet things to make untrue. So be good to yourself, that's all You can do. You're a wonderful baby li...

Winterwood lyrics

Winterwood lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : Words & Music by Don McLean No-one can take your place with me, And time has proven that I'm right. There's no place I'd rather be, Than at your place for the night. No time can pass your sight unseen. No moment steals away unfound. Lifetime lived in such a dream, Floats like a feather to the ground. (Chorus) And for the first time I've been seeing The things I'd never notice, without you. And for the first time I'm discovering The things I used to treasure, about you. The birds like leaves on Winterwood, Sing hopeful songs on dismal days. They've learned to live life as they should. They are at peace with natures ways. You are as natural as the night, And all that springs from you is good. And the children born beneath your light, Are like the birds on Winterwood. (Chorus)

Winter Has Me In Its Grip lyrics

Winter Has Me In Its Grip lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : Chorus: Winter has me in it's grip Think I'll take a summer trip On a sunny sailing ship Where the shells lie in the sand. I feel so lonely, I'm too young to feel this old. I need you and you only When the weather gets this cold. [Chorus:] No use in going 'cause it's cold inside my heart And it's always snowing Since the day we broke apart. [Chorus:] I try to run from winter Like the spring and summer run to fall But when the weather's in you There's no hiding place at all. (chorus

Where Were You Baby? lyrics

Where Were You Baby? lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : Where Were You Baby? - (Josh White) As recorded by Donmclean I looked through every barroom And I searched from coast to coast You were scarce as low-cost housing Baby when I needed you most And where were you baby, when my heart went out? You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt Now I peeked through fancy boudoirs And I peeked through window grates I only saw Republicans, romancing Southern states And where were you baby, when my heart went out? You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt Now I tried to replace you with a streetwalker named Desire But prices up so high, hell I couldn't afford to try her It takes you my baby, baby, baby - to put my body out You left me baby, in all___ this darkness and doubt But tonight I think I'm gonna take some good advice I'm gonna look around and find somebody that's a really nice Well perhaps a banker's daughter and if her Papa's a cuss Well I h...

Three Flights Up lyrics

Three Flights Up lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : On the first floor... On the first floor... On the first floor there's a young girl reeling Her body's numb and without feeling As illusions dance on the midnight ceiling Now she's falling, now she's kneeling It's almost like she's bowed in prayer A savior she's about to bear She screams for help, but no one's there... On the first floor... On the first floor people walk the halls But none can hear her desperate calls There is no sound beyond the walls So to the telephone she crawls She telephones her only friend The one on whom she can depend But the phone rings on without an end Then rings no more...On the first floor... There's a party on the second floor And through the picture window you can see them all They're laughing and they're dancing Admiring the Renoir that's hanging on the wall But in the master bedroom where the coats are piled high A silent, saddened lady thinks of wh...

The Pride Parade lyrics

The Pride Parade lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : It started out quite simply, as complex things can do; A set of sad transparencies 'til no one could see through, But least of all the one inside, behind the iron glass; A prisonor of all your dreams that never come to pass. Alone you stand corrupted by the vision that you sought, And blinded by your hunger all your apetites are bought, But in spite of what becomes of you, your image will remain; A reminder of your constant loss, a symbol of your gain. Chorus: And your friends are together, Where the people are all gathered, All along the road you travelled all your days. And soon you have succumbed to what the others all believe, And though the lie affects them still it's you that they decieve, And all at once you're lost within the emptieness of you, And there's no one left who's near enough to tell you what to do. You're left with nothing but your self-potential in the dark, Like tinder resting on a rock...

The More You Pay lyrics

The More You Pay lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : The auctioneer said, I'm not through yet, Here's a horse the likes of which you've never seen, And the straw hats in the sun, with a face beneath each one, Shown doubtful and the auctioneer got mean. Do you think that you can find a horse like this every day? I don't think there's any better on this earth, And the more you pay, the more it's worth. Then out she came, a snow-white mare, Prancin' and a dancin' in the silver sun, They watched her from behind, as she did her bump and grind, Walkin' naked, sad and graceful for their fun. Oh how I wished I could afford that lady painted white, A queen with high nobility of birth, But the more you pay, the more it's worth. My pockets hung with empty blues, Silent heels were standin' on my growin' pains, My bid was not too bad, two bits was all I had, And the stable boy just handed me the reins. Well the gallery went wild, and the auctioneer...

The Grave lyrics

The Grave lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : The grave that they dug him had flowers Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors, And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone. He's gone. When the wars of our nation did beckon, A man barely twenty did answer the calling. Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation, He's gone, But eternity knows him, and it knows what we've done. And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers Leaving brown, muddy clay where the earth had been dry. And deep in the trench he waited for hours, As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die. But the silence of night was shattered by fire As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air. And one after another his comrades were slaughtered. In morgue of marines, alone standing there. He crouched ever lower, ever lower with fear. "they can't let me die! The can't let me die here! I'll cover myself with the mud and the earth. I'll ...

Tapestry lyrics

Tapestry lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : Every thread of creation is held in position By still other strands of things living In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline Of smoldering cities, so gray and so vulgar, As not to be satisfied with their own negativity, But needing to touch all the living as well. And every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath We exhale on the blue diamond heaven: As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer, As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin. We're poisoned by venom with each breath we take From the brown sulfer chimney and the black highway snake. And every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension Like the yolk of the egg in albumen. Where the birth and the death of unseen generations Are interdependant in vast orchestration, And painted in colors of tapestry thread When the dying are born and the living are dead. And every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment That flows through the veins of your being. Like...

Superman's Ghost lyrics

Superman's Ghost lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : Chorus I don't want to be like old George Reeves Stuck in a Superman role. I've got a long way to go in my career And some day my fame will make it clear That I had to be a Superman Verse 1 He came from another place deep in his mind As far as the planets in space. As galaxy's mysteries start to unwind Some changes are bound to take place. Though gravity constantly weighs on my travels My mission is close to adrift Though I can be strong when my power unravels I still come to you for a lift. [Chorus:] Verse 2 I know I can fly when my plane hits the sky I believe I've got nothing to lose. But when I'm alone with the bed and the phone I get the terminal metropolis blues I flew to the coast where Superman's Ghost Lay shot on the bedroom floor He said

Sitting On Top Of The World lyrics

Sitting On Top Of The World lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : It was in the spring, one sunny day My sweetheart left me, Lord, she went away And now she's gone and I don't worry For I'm sitting on top of the world Mississippi river is deep and wide My sweetheart's living on the other side Now she's gone and I don't worry For I'm sitting on top of the world You don't like my peaches, don't you shake my tree Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be Now she's gone and I don't worry For I'm sitting on top of the world Now she's gone and I don't worry For I'm sitting on top of the world

Sister Fatima lyrics

Sister Fatima lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : Words & Music by Don Mclean The spirit of Fatima still rules the Earth She knows your future, she knows what it's worth Sister Fatima has God-given powers And on 42nd Street a shop that sells flowers Is her palace, come and be healed She knows all your business, your health and your ills She'll counsel your weddings, divorces and wills For full restoration five dollars an hour And with each consultation a free holy flower And if she likes you, well you can have two And I came from nowhere like you and your friend My searching and wandering went on without end My future was dim, my spirit was crushed In one sacred moment my questions were hushed I'm a servant of fate in this garden of truth A humble recruit of the taffeta booth Where all things are known but few are revealed Where sins are forgotten and sickness is healed For five dollars the flower is free

Since I Don't Have You lyrics

Since I Don't Have You lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : I don't have plans and schemes and I don't have hopes and dreams. I don't have anything since I don't have you. I don't have fond desires and I don't have happy hours. I don't have anything since I don't have you. I don't have happiness and I guess I never will again. When you walked out on me in came old misery, And he's been here since then. I don't have love to share and I don't have one who cares. I don't have anything since I don't have you. You, you...

Siamese Twins lyrics

Siamese Twins lyrics song presented by Don Mclean : I find you in my arms, this is how it begins And we are so close, like Siamese twins. Though you're separate from me, and we're often apart Still nobody can see, that we're joined at the heart. Joined at the heart. Joined at the heart. Joined at the heart. You don't look like me it's true and I don't look like you As we lead separate lives our secret still survives Only we know our special affection, Only we know our secret connection. Now you're back in my arms, at the end of the day And like Siamese twins, with each other we'll stay. Though you're separate from me, and we're often apart Still nobody can see, that we're joined at the heart. Joined at the heart. Joined at the heart. Still nobody can see, that we're joined at the heart.
