Song Of David lyrics

Song Of David lyrics song presented by The Statler Brothers : David, son of Jesse Shepherd to his fathers sheep Played the harp when Saul got weary Rocked the giant till he was fast asleep People prayed when Saul killed thousands When David killed ten thousand, they cheered And all that noise they saw angry And the shepherd was on the lamb for years David was a man down in Israel Fighter, lover, shepherd, king, outlaw And through it all God loved him and forgave him David, the man who'd done it all Bathsheba wife of Uriah Took a bath under David's watchful eye He fell in love and took her body Then he sent Uriah out to die He was weak, like you and I are And as a sinner David did his part But God said, "This man David Is a man after My own heart" David was a man down in Israel Fighter, lover, shepherd, king, outlaw And through it all God loved him and forgave him David, the man who'd done it all Ah David, the man who'd done it all

Something You Can't Buy lyrics

Something You Can't Buy lyrics song presented by The Statler Brothers : The greatest Christmas present Is something you can't buy When World War 2 was over We trimmed the tree alone, But we saved the star for Daddy Cause Daddy was coming home We bought Momma a new dress We bought Daddy a tie, But he brought us each something That money couldn't buy The greatest christmas present Is something you can't buy I've talked to Pa this evening For an hour on the phone He said don't spend a lot on presents (now son don't you spend a lot on presents) We just want you to come on home (you know all me and Momma want is you all to come on home) But we'll buy Momma a new dress And Daddy another tie And we'll spend lots of time together And that's something you can't buy The greatest Christmas present Is something you can't buy Some day I know it's coming When all of us won't be Together there for Christmas (I hate to face it but we won't a...

Some I Wrote lyrics

Some I Wrote lyrics song presented by The Statler Brothers : Some I wrote Someday when it's all over, And they come to carry me. And you're walkin' slow and wearin' black With the rest of the family. And the choir stands to sing a song, Make sure it's one of mine. I had a few more tunes that I wanted to write, But I ran out of time. Chorus, Some I wrote for money, Some I wrote for fun. Some I wrote and threw away, never sang to any one. One I wrote for mama, and a couple still aren't through. I've lost track of all the rest, but the most I wrote for you. That day when it's all over, And you're settin' all alone. They'll come and ask you what you want. To have written on my stone. Tell'em when I was born and died, The year and the day, And if there's room for something more Well here's what you can say. Some he wrote for money, Some he wrote for fun. Some he wrote and threw away, never sang to any one. One he wrote for his mama, a...

Since Then lyrics

Since Then lyrics song presented by The Statler Brothers : In my youth I was enchanted Took the good, good life for granted Thought the better things were handed out for free But since then I've learned that living Does require a bit of giving And some things that I'd been missing now I see And there was a time when I was slow To lend a helping hand I'm not perfect But I've learned a lot since then There were times when I thought surely I'd find riches in a hurry And become the judge and jury of my time And the life I thought so splendid Turned before me to be mended Placing realms where I intended not to climb And the world that used to fall in step Beneath my guiding hands Is still turning But it's changed a lot since then Since then (Since then) I've made a new way Since then (Since then) I've found a new day Since then (Since then) the shackles that bound Have been (Have been) unshaclked (un-bound) Since when my pride was always pushing me To be a b...

Silver Medals And Sweet Memories lyrics

Silver Medals And Sweet Memories lyrics song presented by The Statler Brothers : Just a picture on a table Just some letters Mama saved And a costume broach from England On the back it has engraved: To Eileen, I love you London, nineteen forty-three. And she never heard from him again And he never heard of me And the war still ain't over for Mama Every night in her dreams she still sees The young face of someone who left her Silver medals and sweet memories In Mama's bedroom closet To this day on her top shelf There's a flag folded three-cornered Layin' all by itself And the sargeant would surely be honored To know how pretty she still is And that after all these lonely years His Eileen's still his And the war still ain't over for Mama.... Silver medals and sweet memories

She Thinks I Still Care lyrics

She Thinks I Still Care lyrics song presented by The Statler Brothers : She thinks I still care Just because I asked a friend about her just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I rang her number by mistake today she thinks I still care Just because I haunt the same old places where the mem'ry of her lingers everywhere Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be she thinks I still care And if she's happy thinking I still need her then let that silly notion bring her cheer Oh how could she ever be so foolish tell me where did she get such an idea Just because I asked a friend about her just because I spoke her name somewhere Just bacause I saw her then went all to pieces she thinks I still care How could she think I still care

Second Thoughts lyrics

Second Thoughts lyrics song presented by The Statler Brothers : It was in the high school yearbook dated may of '55 We were voted the couple most likely to survive Even teachers never doubted we were more than just friends But your mama had some second thoughts back then When you went off to nursing school I kept my job in town To show your folks that I was old enough to settle down When you came home for holidays we were happy without sin But your mama had some second thoughts again Does your mama know I'm rich and happy well almost that is Has she ever said that maybe she was wrong All she ever really wanted was to have the best in you And that's all I ever really wanted too. Thanks to her she made me want to prove I could succeed But thanks to her I'll never have the one thing that I need And If she reads the papers and remembers who I am She's probably having seconds again Does your mama know I'm rich and happy well almost that is Has she ever said that may...

Samson lyrics

Samson lyrics song presented by The Statler Brothers : Oh, Samson, it's been said you were a mighty man I've heard it said you killed a lion with your hands And when the people of Philistia raised your Ire Ain't you the man who set their fields on fire? You faced an army of Philistines all alone And didn't you tear at their flesh with just a bone? So tell me, Samson, if these things I hear are true How could you let a woman get the best of you? I've heard it said you were the best of many men That you could tear a city gate right off it's hinge And that the strongest rope just could not hold you bound And you completely tore one temple down How could you let yourself get caught in such disgrace? You got the best of every man you ever faced And after all the mighty enemies you slew How could you let a women get the best of you? You've battled many a man till he has turned and fled Then turned around and let a woman turn your head You loved the best, my man, ...
