Someone Above lyrics - Glen Campbell
See the birds unfolding on the tress see them blossom into leaves
Wise men know someone above has made it so
See the daffodil and crocus there as they bow their heads in prayer
For they know someone above has made it so
When the raindrops fall the flowers grow and the rivers kiss the sea
But there'd be no rain no river flow if there live the fools like me
Man can build his city plan his yard paint a picture called an art
But I know someone above has made it so
When the raindrops fall...
I know someone above has made it so
Wise men know someone above has made it so
See the daffodil and crocus there as they bow their heads in prayer
For they know someone above has made it so
When the raindrops fall the flowers grow and the rivers kiss the sea
But there'd be no rain no river flow if there live the fools like me
Man can build his city plan his yard paint a picture called an art
But I know someone above has made it so
When the raindrops fall...
I know someone above has made it so
Oh Happy Day lyrics - Glen Campbell
Oh happy day oh happy day
When Jesus washed oh when he washed
When my Jesus washed he washed my sins away
Oh happy day oh happy day oh happy day
When Jesus washed oh when he washed
When my Jesus washed he washed my sins away oh happy day
He taught me how to walk fight and pray fight and pray
And in rejoicing in rejoicing every every every day every day
Oh happy day...
When Jesus washed oh when he washed
When my Jesus washed he washed my sins away
Oh happy day oh happy day oh happy day
When Jesus washed oh when he washed
When my Jesus washed he washed my sins away oh happy day
He taught me how to walk fight and pray fight and pray
And in rejoicing in rejoicing every every every day every day
Oh happy day...
I Believe lyrics - Glen Campbell
I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
And I believe for every one who goes astray someone will come to show the way
I believe yes I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a new born baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
I believe above the storm...
I believe yes I believe
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
And I believe for every one who goes astray someone will come to show the way
I believe yes I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a new born baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
I believe above the storm...
I believe yes I believe

You'll Never Walk Alone lyrics - Glen Campbell
When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm there's a golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on walk on with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk never walk alone
(Walk on walk on with hope in your heart) and you'll never walk alone
No you'll never walk never walk alone walk on
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm there's a golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on walk on with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk never walk alone
(Walk on walk on with hope in your heart) and you'll never walk alone
No you'll never walk never walk alone walk on
One Pair Of Hands lyrics - Glen Campbell
One pair of hands built the mountains one pair of hands formed the sea
And one pair of hands made the sun and the moon every bird every flower every tree
One pair of hands formed the valleys the ocean the rivers and the sand
His hands are so strong so when life goes wrong
Put your faith in the one pair of hands
One pair of hands built the mountains...
And one pair of hands made the sun and the moon every bird every flower every tree
One pair of hands formed the valleys the ocean the rivers and the sand
His hands are so strong so when life goes wrong
Put your faith in the one pair of hands
One pair of hands built the mountains...
He lyrics - Glen campbell
He can turn the ties and calm the angry sea
He alone besides who writes a symphony
He lights every star that makes a darkness bright
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner call and always find him there
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live he'll always say I forgive
(He can grab a wish or make a dream come true)
He can paint the clouds and turn the gray to blue)
He alone knows where to find a rainbow's end
He alone can see what lies beyond the bend
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live he'll always say I forgive
He alone besides who writes a symphony
He lights every star that makes a darkness bright
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner call and always find him there
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live he'll always say I forgive
(He can grab a wish or make a dream come true)
He can paint the clouds and turn the gray to blue)
He alone knows where to find a rainbow's end
He alone can see what lies beyond the bend
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live he'll always say I forgive
Daddy Sang Bass lyrics - Glen Campbell
I remember when I was a lad times were hard and things were bad
But there's a silver lining behind every cloud
Just poor people that's all we were tryin' to make a livin' out of black land dirt
We'd get together in a family circle and sing out loud
(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
Now one of these days and it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join that family circle at the throne
No the circle won't be broken by and by Lord by and by
(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there in the sky Lord in the sky
[Guitar]
I remember after work mama would call in all of us
And you could hear us singin' for a country mile
Now little brother has done gone on but I'll rejoin him in a song
We'll be together again up yonder in a while
(Daddy sang bass...
But there's a silver lining behind every cloud
Just poor people that's all we were tryin' to make a livin' out of black land dirt
We'd get together in a family circle and sing out loud
(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
Now one of these days and it won't be long I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join that family circle at the throne
No the circle won't be broken by and by Lord by and by
(Daddy sang bass mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there in the sky Lord in the sky
[Guitar]
I remember after work mama would call in all of us
And you could hear us singin' for a country mile
Now little brother has done gone on but I'll rejoin him in a song
We'll be together again up yonder in a while
(Daddy sang bass...
Try A Little Kindness lyrics - Glen campbell
If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say you're goin' the wrong way
You've got to try a little kindness yes show a little kindness
Yes shine your light for everyone to see
And if you'll try a little kindness and you'll overlook the blindness
Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets
Don't walk around the down and out lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day will help someone along their way
You've got to try a little kindness...
You've got to try a little kindness...
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say you're goin' the wrong way
You've got to try a little kindness yes show a little kindness
Yes shine your light for everyone to see
And if you'll try a little kindness and you'll overlook the blindness
Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets
Don't walk around the down and out lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day will help someone along their way
You've got to try a little kindness...
You've got to try a little kindness...
Both Sides Now lyrics - Glen Campbell
Bows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air
Feathered canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way
Now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone
So many things I could have done, but clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now from up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusion I recall, I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and farris wheels. The dizzy dancing way you feel
When every fairytale comes real. I've looked at love that way
Now that's just another show you leave them laughing when you go
If you care don't let them know don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now from give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusion I recall I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I look at life that way
Now old friends are acting strange. They shake their heads they say I've changed
But something's lost and something's gained in living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now from win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusion I recall. I really don't know life at all
Feathered canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way
Now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone
So many things I could have done, but clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now from up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusion I recall, I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and farris wheels. The dizzy dancing way you feel
When every fairytale comes real. I've looked at love that way
Now that's just another show you leave them laughing when you go
If you care don't let them know don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now from give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusion I recall I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I look at life that way
Now old friends are acting strange. They shake their heads they say I've changed
But something's lost and something's gained in living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now from win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusion I recall. I really don't know life at all
For My Woman's Love lyrics - Glen Campbell
Like the first apartment that we had that bompy little couch that made into a bed
Shower down the hall and footsteps through the wood she said it's just fine
Times were hard for us for quite a while
But through those hungry days she faced it with a smile
Not wanting me to know she's carrying my child she tried to ease my mind
And for my woman's love for my woman's love
Each day I thank the Lord above for my sweet woman's love
Through the years of moving town to town
Still searching for a dream somehow we never found
And wondering if we would ever settle down her love never died
And if I have many things today I owe it to the love I had along the way
No matter what went wrong no matter come what may she stood by my side
And for my woman's love...
For my woman's love...
Shower down the hall and footsteps through the wood she said it's just fine
Times were hard for us for quite a while
But through those hungry days she faced it with a smile
Not wanting me to know she's carrying my child she tried to ease my mind
And for my woman's love for my woman's love
Each day I thank the Lord above for my sweet woman's love
Through the years of moving town to town
Still searching for a dream somehow we never found
And wondering if we would ever settle down her love never died
And if I have many things today I owe it to the love I had along the way
No matter what went wrong no matter come what may she stood by my side
And for my woman's love...
For my woman's love...
Country Girl lyrics - Glen campbell
About five o'clock in the late afternoon sun's gettin' drowsy above me
Tonight I walk neath the sparkling moon with the girl who is happy to love me
She's my sweet country girl and she's all that I need
The whole world wears the smile when she's talking
Sweet country girl it's not hard to believe
Pretty flowers bloom wherever she's been walking uh-huh
Shadows erase in the last light of day night time is startin' to settle
Red colored stone Lord is leading my way to her cottage way down in the meadow
She's my sweet country girl...
Green trees and golden hay and sunshine here every day
Big cities far behind me well it's love with her to think I'm a gonna stay
About five o'clock in the late afternoon...
She's my sweet country girl yes she is
She's my sweet country girl and I love her she's my sweet country girl
Tonight I walk neath the sparkling moon with the girl who is happy to love me
She's my sweet country girl and she's all that I need
The whole world wears the smile when she's talking
Sweet country girl it's not hard to believe
Pretty flowers bloom wherever she's been walking uh-huh
Shadows erase in the last light of day night time is startin' to settle
Red colored stone Lord is leading my way to her cottage way down in the meadow
She's my sweet country girl...
Green trees and golden hay and sunshine here every day
Big cities far behind me well it's love with her to think I'm a gonna stay
About five o'clock in the late afternoon...
She's my sweet country girl yes she is
She's my sweet country girl and I love her she's my sweet country girl
All The Way lyrics - Glen Campbell
When somebody loves you it's no good unless she loves you all the way
Happy to be near you when you need someone to cheer you all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is that's how it's got to be
And deeper than the deep blue sea is now that's how deep it goes if it's real
When somebody needs you it's no good unless she needs you all the way
Through the good or lean years and through all the end between it come what may
Who knows where the love will lead us only a fool would say
But if you let me love you it's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way
Darling all the way
(Who knows where the love will lead us only a fool would say)
But if you let me love you it's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way all the way
Happy to be near you when you need someone to cheer you all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is that's how it's got to be
And deeper than the deep blue sea is now that's how deep it goes if it's real
When somebody needs you it's no good unless she needs you all the way
Through the good or lean years and through all the end between it come what may
Who knows where the love will lead us only a fool would say
But if you let me love you it's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way
Darling all the way
(Who knows where the love will lead us only a fool would say)
But if you let me love you it's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way all the way
Where Do You Go lyrics - Glen campbell
Where do you go when there's nowhere to go
And you don't want to be where you are
Where do you run when there's no run to run and you've already run too far
What good is love when you offer your love but nobody wants to buy
Why do I cry and why am I wondering why
What can you say when there's so much to say but nobody listens to you
And what good are dreams if there's no more than dreams
That don't have a chance to come true
And what can you do when love that you do will ease your troubled mind
And where do you go when you come to the end of the line
What can you say...
And you don't want to be where you are
Where do you run when there's no run to run and you've already run too far
What good is love when you offer your love but nobody wants to buy
Why do I cry and why am I wondering why
What can you say when there's so much to say but nobody listens to you
And what good are dreams if there's no more than dreams
That don't have a chance to come true
And what can you do when love that you do will ease your troubled mind
And where do you go when you come to the end of the line
What can you say...
Honey Come Back lyrics - Glen Campbell
Well honey I know I've said it many times before I said I'd never say it again
I guess I shouldn't say anything at all since you're supposed to belong to him
But I just can't let you go but I'm tellin' you just how much I love you
So that is why I'm gonna say it one more time
Honey come back I just can't stand each lonely day's a little bit longer
And the last time I held you seems like a hundred years ago
Back to his arms and never know the joy of love that used to taste like
Honey come back where you belong to only me
Well I guess that's about all I gotta say
So I'm just gonna pack my bags and I'm gonna walk
I know those bright lights're callin' you honey big fine cars and fancy clothes
But if you ever want someone to just love you and some day you just may
Just give me a call you know where I am and here's what I'll say
Honey come back...
Honey come back where you belong to only me
Honey come back where you belong to only me
I guess I shouldn't say anything at all since you're supposed to belong to him
But I just can't let you go but I'm tellin' you just how much I love you
So that is why I'm gonna say it one more time
Honey come back I just can't stand each lonely day's a little bit longer
And the last time I held you seems like a hundred years ago
Back to his arms and never know the joy of love that used to taste like
Honey come back where you belong to only me
Well I guess that's about all I gotta say
So I'm just gonna pack my bags and I'm gonna walk
I know those bright lights're callin' you honey big fine cars and fancy clothes
But if you ever want someone to just love you and some day you just may
Just give me a call you know where I am and here's what I'll say
Honey come back...
Honey come back where you belong to only me
Honey come back where you belong to only me
Folk Singer lyrics - Glen Campbell
As I walk these narrow streets where a million passin' feet are before me
With my guitar in my hand suddenly I realize nobody knows me
Well yesterday the motor toots screamed and cried my name out for a song
Now the streets are empty and the crowds they go on home
With the rain on my face there's no place where I belong
And my whole life consists of a story of poem at a song
Now the truths I've tried to tell you are as distant as the moon
More than hundred years too late two hundred years too soon
I'm a child of the sage Lord's been in the pages of a book
But when I'm dust and clay where other people stop and to look
And will they marvel and miracles and perform into the high size to the spider
Oh will they take the pages of the book to light of fire
With the rain on my face there's no place where I belong
With my guitar in my hand suddenly I realize nobody knows me
Well yesterday the motor toots screamed and cried my name out for a song
Now the streets are empty and the crowds they go on home
With the rain on my face there's no place where I belong
And my whole life consists of a story of poem at a song
Now the truths I've tried to tell you are as distant as the moon
More than hundred years too late two hundred years too soon
I'm a child of the sage Lord's been in the pages of a book
But when I'm dust and clay where other people stop and to look
And will they marvel and miracles and perform into the high size to the spider
Oh will they take the pages of the book to light of fire
With the rain on my face there's no place where I belong
Love Is Not A Game lyrics - Glen Campbell
Love is like a warm and tender rain
Splashing on the roof beatin' on the window pane
She was like a soft and gentle breeze
Seemin' so sincere pretty as you please.
Though the time we spent together was so small
I keep wondering if I walked through it all
But the way you held me close and called my name
And the pain I'm feeling now tells me love is not a game.
Every time I looked into her eyes
I couldn't really see what was on her mind
'Cause she's been through this many times before
Never realized I must have been a poor.
Now I believe that love could be just simple true and harmony
Happiness for day and night no one wrong or right
But the way you held me close and called my name
And the pain I'm feeling now tells me love is not a game...
Splashing on the roof beatin' on the window pane
She was like a soft and gentle breeze
Seemin' so sincere pretty as you please.
Though the time we spent together was so small
I keep wondering if I walked through it all
But the way you held me close and called my name
And the pain I'm feeling now tells me love is not a game.
Every time I looked into her eyes
I couldn't really see what was on her mind
'Cause she's been through this many times before
Never realized I must have been a poor.
Now I believe that love could be just simple true and harmony
Happiness for day and night no one wrong or right
But the way you held me close and called my name
And the pain I'm feeling now tells me love is not a game...
Once More With Feeling lyrics - Glen campbell
Sometimes myself runs back to you I just can't tell me what to do
Cause I remember when how right it felt within
The shelter of your arms where I would stay
Once more with feeling once more with feeling
Won't you hold me till the night turns into day
I still remember when all wrapped up tight within
The shelter of your arms where I would stay
Sometimes I let me get these blues sometimes my old destroys my news
But I remember when all wrapped up tight within
The shelter of your arms I used to stay
Once more with feeling...
Once more with feeling...
Cause I remember when how right it felt within
The shelter of your arms where I would stay
Once more with feeling once more with feeling
Won't you hold me till the night turns into day
I still remember when all wrapped up tight within
The shelter of your arms where I would stay
Sometimes I let me get these blues sometimes my old destroys my news
But I remember when all wrapped up tight within
The shelter of your arms I used to stay
Once more with feeling...
Once more with feeling...
And The World Keeps Spinning lyrics - Glen Campbell
Well, I never thought that I could make it alone
Thought I would die but I seem to carry on
And I thought my life would surely leave
And, though almost, I have not ceased to be
And even though I thought I lost everything
Today I found that the birds still sing in the morning
And the world keeps spinning 'round
And the world keeps spinning 'round
When someone says goodbye, another dream ends
And just before you give up another dream begins
Someone changed their mind, tears fall to the ground
But you know that one man's smile is another's frown
And the table will turn someday, that's how life is
I have no doubt 'cause you know that time don't stand still
All the world keeps spinning 'round
Yes, the world keeps spinning 'round
Dawn will find me here and I think about
One that I thought I couldn't live without
One day she was here, the next day gone
But the love that was never clear was just alone
And how can you lose something you only thought
That you found so you wipe away the tears with a smile
All the world keeps spinning 'round
Yes, the world keeps spinning 'round
All the world keeps spinning 'round
All the world keeps spinning 'round
Thought I would die but I seem to carry on
And I thought my life would surely leave
And, though almost, I have not ceased to be
And even though I thought I lost everything
Today I found that the birds still sing in the morning
And the world keeps spinning 'round
And the world keeps spinning 'round
When someone says goodbye, another dream ends
And just before you give up another dream begins
Someone changed their mind, tears fall to the ground
But you know that one man's smile is another's frown
And the table will turn someday, that's how life is
I have no doubt 'cause you know that time don't stand still
All the world keeps spinning 'round
Yes, the world keeps spinning 'round
Dawn will find me here and I think about
One that I thought I couldn't live without
One day she was here, the next day gone
But the love that was never clear was just alone
And how can you lose something you only thought
That you found so you wipe away the tears with a smile
All the world keeps spinning 'round
Yes, the world keeps spinning 'round
All the world keeps spinning 'round
All the world keeps spinning 'round
Home Again lyrics - Glen Campbell
Home again I turned my collar to the wind started home again
Home again a place where I can find the friends that's home again
Well I've seen everything that I wanted to see
And I finally see what's important to me I'm going home I'm going home
Home again I've been too long upon my way this way don't pay
Home again too many names I can't recall it's coming home
Well I've done everything I thought I wanted to do
When each step I took took me far away from you I'm going home I'm going home
Home again I can't extend by even time joys ain't crime
Home again somehow I know there's time enough enough to love
Well I've had everything that I thought I would need
Now I'm going home I'm gonna try my hand of freedom
I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home
Home again a place where I can find the friends that's home again
Well I've seen everything that I wanted to see
And I finally see what's important to me I'm going home I'm going home
Home again I've been too long upon my way this way don't pay
Home again too many names I can't recall it's coming home
Well I've done everything I thought I wanted to do
When each step I took took me far away from you I'm going home I'm going home
Home again I can't extend by even time joys ain't crime
Home again somehow I know there's time enough enough to love
Well I've had everything that I thought I would need
Now I'm going home I'm gonna try my hand of freedom
I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home
Galveston lyrics - Glen Campbell
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was 21 when I left Galveston
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin' out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run
Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston
[Instrumental to end]
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was 21 when I left Galveston
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin' out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run
Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston
[Instrumental to end]
Take My Hand For A While lyrics - Glen campbell
Take my hand for a while explain it to be once again
Just for the sake of my broken heart
Look into my eyes and maybe I will understand
HOW love I counted on was never there
You see I've thought that you might love me
So you caught me it seems off BALANCE with a heart so full
Of love and pretty dreams that two should share
[guitar + strings]
And so I know but please before you go
Take my hand for a while explain it to be once again
Just for the sake of my broken heart
Just for the sake of my broken heart
Look into my eyes and maybe I will understand
HOW love I counted on was never there
You see I've thought that you might love me
So you caught me it seems off BALANCE with a heart so full
Of love and pretty dreams that two should share
[guitar + strings]
And so I know but please before you go
Take my hand for a while explain it to be once again
Just for the sake of my broken heart
If This Is Love lyrics - Glen Campbell
The palpitating beast that beats within my battered breast
Burning and bedevilling, not allowing any rest
The thunder in my mind reflects the storm within my heart
A blasting, blaring sound that tears my soul apart
If this is love... who needs it?
There's a tender, tempting feeling that is growing in my mind
Soothing and caressing a part of me that's blind
A warming worm that's mellowing and eating my resolve
Changing and challenging my cold heart to dissolve
If this is love... I want it!
Now a flaming, flaring fire I feel has trapped me in it's trance
Flashing and flickering and forcing me to dance
I'm raised by its pure energy, aborning me anew
Blinding but enlightening, I know the fire is you
If this is love... I need it
If this is love... I want it
If this is what love is like... oh yes, I need it
Oh if this is what love is like, I wanna have a taste of it
Burning and bedevilling, not allowing any rest
The thunder in my mind reflects the storm within my heart
A blasting, blaring sound that tears my soul apart
If this is love... who needs it?
There's a tender, tempting feeling that is growing in my mind
Soothing and caressing a part of me that's blind
A warming worm that's mellowing and eating my resolve
Changing and challenging my cold heart to dissolve
If this is love... I want it!
Now a flaming, flaring fire I feel has trapped me in it's trance
Flashing and flickering and forcing me to dance
I'm raised by its pure energy, aborning me anew
Blinding but enlightening, I know the fire is you
If this is love... I need it
If this is love... I want it
If this is what love is like... oh yes, I need it
Oh if this is what love is like, I wanna have a taste of it
Today lyrics - Glen campbell
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover you'll know who I am by the song that I sing
I'll ease at your table and I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberrys and I'll drink your sweet wine
And a million tomorrows shall all pass away here I forget all the joy that is mine today
I can't be contented withg yeasterday's glory
I can't live on promissess winter just brings
Today is my moment and right now is my story while I laught and I cry and I sing
Today while the blossoms...
I'll ease at your table and I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberrys and I'll drink your sweet wine
And a million tomorrows shall all pass away here I forget all the joy that is mine today
I can't be contented withg yeasterday's glory
I can't live on promissess winter just brings
Today is my moment and right now is my story while I laught and I cry and I sing
Today while the blossoms...
Gotta Have Tenderness lyrics - Glen Campbell
The sun comes up in the morning over the Neighboring Hill
Breeze sings the sing in the treetop in tune with Mr Whippoorwill
Gotta have tenderness gotta have tenderness we got to have love
Little white clouds are hurryin' somewhere along their way
Across the highways of blue skies they softly seem to say
Gotta have tenderness gotta have tenderness we got to have love
Everybody worries bout the place in the sun but nobody wirries bout love
But place in the sun won't be any fun well it's love the world needs much more of
Now the rain id falling out over the Neighboring Hill
Singing love song to each road in tune with Mr Whippoorwill
Gotta have tenderness gotta have tenderness we've got to have love
Yes we gotta have tenderness oh gotta have tenderness and we got to have love
Breeze sings the sing in the treetop in tune with Mr Whippoorwill
Gotta have tenderness gotta have tenderness we got to have love
Little white clouds are hurryin' somewhere along their way
Across the highways of blue skies they softly seem to say
Gotta have tenderness gotta have tenderness we got to have love
Everybody worries bout the place in the sun but nobody wirries bout love
But place in the sun won't be any fun well it's love the world needs much more of
Now the rain id falling out over the Neighboring Hill
Singing love song to each road in tune with Mr Whippoorwill
Gotta have tenderness gotta have tenderness we've got to have love
Yes we gotta have tenderness oh gotta have tenderness and we got to have love
Friends lyrics - Glen campbell
Friends are never earned they're a gift from the loving God
And they're precious beyond human evaluation
But you dare not take them for granted or they'll lift away like a smoke
And the warmth of their caring will vanish into the chill of the endless nights
Most of my friends are unknowns they probably won't even rate an obituary
Unless they live and die in a small town
Somewhere where nothing much ever happens
But a few of my friends are big people
They'd made the word ring with laughter down to this string of court
They're famous sensitive talented and their names are household words
And yet they're no more precious in God's eyes or in mine
Than those wonderful nobodys who live and die in small towns
Who is your friend he's someone who warms you with a nod
Or with an unspoken word in hard times when you're hurting beyond words
Who is your friend he's someone who holds you to her breast
And sighs softly into your hair when no other medicine could possibly stop the pain
A friend is someone who clings his glass against yours
Or answers the phone at three in the morning when you're lost
And with a few words of encouragement and concern
Makes you realize that you're not really lost at all
Friends come in both sexes in all shapes and sizes
The most important thing they have in common is their ability
To share with you your most sky splitting joys
Or your deepest most spelling ol' some sorrows for they're all your friends
And they're precious beyond human evaluation
But you dare not take them for granted or they'll lift away like a smoke
And the warmth of their caring will vanish into the chill of the endless nights
Most of my friends are unknowns they probably won't even rate an obituary
Unless they live and die in a small town
Somewhere where nothing much ever happens
But a few of my friends are big people
They'd made the word ring with laughter down to this string of court
They're famous sensitive talented and their names are household words
And yet they're no more precious in God's eyes or in mine
Than those wonderful nobodys who live and die in small towns
Who is your friend he's someone who warms you with a nod
Or with an unspoken word in hard times when you're hurting beyond words
Who is your friend he's someone who holds you to her breast
And sighs softly into your hair when no other medicine could possibly stop the pain
A friend is someone who clings his glass against yours
Or answers the phone at three in the morning when you're lost
And with a few words of encouragement and concern
Makes you realize that you're not really lost at all
Friends come in both sexes in all shapes and sizes
The most important thing they have in common is their ability
To share with you your most sky splitting joys
Or your deepest most spelling ol' some sorrows for they're all your friends
Where's The Playground Susie? lyrics - Glen Campbell
The end has come and found us here
With our toys scattered all around us here
The puzzle that we never found an answer for
Still asks us, darlin', just what all the games were for
And here we stand in a box of sand
Where's the playground Susie?
You're the one who's supposed to know her way around
Where's the playground Susie
If I don't stay around?
If I don't stay around?
The carousel has stopped us here
It twirled a time or two and then it dropped us here
And still you're not content with something about me
But what merry-go-round can you ride without me
To take your hand?
How would you stand?
Where's the playground Susie
If I decide to let you go and play around?
Where's the playground Susie
If I don't stay around?
If I don't stay around?
Where's the playground Susie?
You're the one who's supposed to know her way around
Where's the playground Susie
If I decide to let you go and play around?
With our toys scattered all around us here
The puzzle that we never found an answer for
Still asks us, darlin', just what all the games were for
And here we stand in a box of sand
Where's the playground Susie?
You're the one who's supposed to know her way around
Where's the playground Susie
If I don't stay around?
If I don't stay around?
The carousel has stopped us here
It twirled a time or two and then it dropped us here
And still you're not content with something about me
But what merry-go-round can you ride without me
To take your hand?
How would you stand?
Where's the playground Susie
If I decide to let you go and play around?
Where's the playground Susie
If I don't stay around?
If I don't stay around?
Where's the playground Susie?
You're the one who's supposed to know her way around
Where's the playground Susie
If I decide to let you go and play around?
Time lyrics - Glen Campbell
Some people run some people crawl some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forward some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in light and some wrapped in fearful black
Some people never get some never give some people never die and some never live
Some folks treat me mean some treat me kind
Most folks just go their way and don't pay me any mind
Time oh good good time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
Sometimes I'm satisfied sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold and sometimes it's hot
At sunset I laugh sunrise I cry at midnight I'm in between and I'm wondering why
Time oh good good time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
Some roads lead forward some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in light and some wrapped in fearful black
Some people never get some never give some people never die and some never live
Some folks treat me mean some treat me kind
Most folks just go their way and don't pay me any mind
Time oh good good time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
Sometimes I'm satisfied sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold and sometimes it's hot
At sunset I laugh sunrise I cry at midnight I'm in between and I'm wondering why
Time oh good good time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
Oh What A Woman lyrics - Glen Campbell
Oh what a woman she treats me uncommonly good yeah she does
My my woman she treats me like my woman should yeah she does
Well she's good as a woman can be anything to satisfy me
Yes oh what a woman she treats me uncommonly good
Well she cleans my house she sews my britches scratches my back everytime it itches

Sets me a table that's fit for a king cause she loves just being my queen
Oh what a woman treats me uncommonly good
Well some fellows don't know when they take a wife
Just what kind of woman they're stuck with for life
Now I've known men who took their spouse
And she wound up wearin' the britches in the house
Yeah but now my little woman on the other hand can't do enough to please her man
Spends her time just bein' my girl and there's not another like her in the world no

And she wound up wearin' the britches in the house
Yeah but now my little woman on the other hand can't do enough to please her man
Spends her time just bein' my girl and there's not another like her in the world no
Oh what a woman she treats me uncommonly good yeah she does
My my woman she treats me like my woman should
Well she's good as a woman can be anything to satisfy me
Well oh what a woman treats me uncommon uncommonly good
Every Time I Itch I Wind Up Scratchin' You lyrics - Glen Campbell
You know, my love, my only wish is happiness for you
So I work real hard to strike it rich but everytime I do
I blow it all on some old witch I hardly ever knew
How come everytime I itch I wind up scratchin' you
When everything's ain't going right, I hurry home to you
You kiss my lips and you comfort me as only you can do
But the eagle flies on Friday night and my senses fly off too
How come everytime I itch I wind up scratchin' you
I dream of coming home to you; a knight in shining armour
'Cause it seems to me that you rate much more
Than a broken down, busted farmer
Everytime I get ahead, I act like someone new
I waste the whole night talking big and spending money too
Then I sneak in bed beside you; broke and blue
How come everytime I itch I wind up scratchin' you, ahhh
How come everytime I itch I wind up scratchin' you
So I work real hard to strike it rich but everytime I do
I blow it all on some old witch I hardly ever knew
How come everytime I itch I wind up scratchin' you
When everything's ain't going right, I hurry home to you
You kiss my lips and you comfort me as only you can do
But the eagle flies on Friday night and my senses fly off too
How come everytime I itch I wind up scratchin' you
I dream of coming home to you; a knight in shining armour
'Cause it seems to me that you rate much more
Than a broken down, busted farmer
Everytime I get ahead, I act like someone new
I waste the whole night talking big and spending money too
Then I sneak in bed beside you; broke and blue
How come everytime I itch I wind up scratchin' you, ahhh
How come everytime I itch I wind up scratchin' you
Wichita Lineman lyrics - Glen Campbell
I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singin' in the wire, I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation but it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
[Instrumental Interlude]
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
[Instrumental to end]
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singin' in the wire, I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation but it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
[Instrumental Interlude]
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
[Instrumental to end]
(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay lyrics - Glen campbell
Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watchin' the ships roll in then I watch 'em roll away again
'Msittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for looked like nothing's gonna come my way
'Msittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
Looks like nothin's gonna change everythin' still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do so I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here restin' my bones this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed just to make this dock my home
'Msittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
Watchin' the ships roll in then I watch 'em roll away again
'Msittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for looked like nothing's gonna come my way
'Msittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
Looks like nothin's gonna change everythin' still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do so I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here restin' my bones this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed just to make this dock my home
'Msittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
If You Go Away lyrics - Glen Campbell
If you go away on this summer day then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the nights were long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song
If you go away if you go away if you go away
But if you'll stay I'll make you a day like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun we'll glide on the rain we'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go I'll understand leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away if you go away if you go away
If you go away as I know you will you must tell the world to stop turning
Till you return again if you ever do for what good is love without loving you
Can I tell you now as you turn to go I'll be dying slow to the next hello
If you go away if you go away if you go away
If you go away as I know you might there'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space like the empty look I see on your face
I have been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side
If you go away if you go away if you go away
But if you'll stay I'll make you a night like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile I'll glide on your touch I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go I know I will cry and all the good is gone from the words goodbye
If you go away if you go away if you go away please don't go away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the nights were long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song
If you go away if you go away if you go away
But if you'll stay I'll make you a day like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun we'll glide on the rain we'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go I'll understand leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away if you go away if you go away
If you go away as I know you will you must tell the world to stop turning
Till you return again if you ever do for what good is love without loving you
Can I tell you now as you turn to go I'll be dying slow to the next hello
If you go away if you go away if you go away
If you go away as I know you might there'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space like the empty look I see on your face
I have been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side
If you go away if you go away if you go away
But if you'll stay I'll make you a night like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile I'll glide on your touch I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go I know I will cry and all the good is gone from the words goodbye
If you go away if you go away if you go away please don't go away
Ann lyrics - glen campbell
I know I'll never meet another hunk of woman like my Ann
Cause she makes me feel like a great big man
I'm a gonna go tell her mama what I think about her say thank you ma'am
For giving me your daughter Ann
She sure is stacked from her toes to the pretty little nape
Of her neck she's packed like a seed in a grape she's smooth as marble skin
When I see her I believe I'm a real young guy
And every time I go to work I think I might die if I can't hurry home again
If the good Lord worked all night a makin' me a female plan
I'd say no thanks Lord I'll just keep Ann
[Strings]
How could I ever look at any other woman when I've got Ann
Oh I feel so good when she takes my hand
I'm a gonna go tell her daddy what I think about her say thank you man
For giving me your daughter Ann
When I come home and I feel like I've been run over
By a ten-ton truck she can rub my shoulders and soothe my aches and pains
If I lose my job and I'm down to a silver dollar
And I feel like a dried up gourd in a holler she soothes my brow like summer rain
If the good Lord worked all night a making me a female plan
I'd say no thanks you Lord I'll just keep Ann
Oh no thanks you Lord I'll just keep Ann
Cause she makes me feel like a great big man
I'm a gonna go tell her mama what I think about her say thank you ma'am
For giving me your daughter Ann
She sure is stacked from her toes to the pretty little nape
Of her neck she's packed like a seed in a grape she's smooth as marble skin
When I see her I believe I'm a real young guy
And every time I go to work I think I might die if I can't hurry home again
If the good Lord worked all night a makin' me a female plan
I'd say no thanks Lord I'll just keep Ann
[Strings]
How could I ever look at any other woman when I've got Ann
Oh I feel so good when she takes my hand
I'm a gonna go tell her daddy what I think about her say thank you man
For giving me your daughter Ann
When I come home and I feel like I've been run over
By a ten-ton truck she can rub my shoulders and soothe my aches and pains
If I lose my job and I'm down to a silver dollar
And I feel like a dried up gourd in a holler she soothes my brow like summer rain
If the good Lord worked all night a making me a female plan
I'd say no thanks you Lord I'll just keep Ann
Oh no thanks you Lord I'll just keep Ann
Words lyrics - Glen Campbell
Smile an everlasting smile a smile could bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you're gone cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory let's start a brand new story now my love
Right now there'll be no other time and I can show you all my love
Talk an everlasting words and dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my love I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean a single word I say
It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away
[Strings]
You think that I don't even mean a single word I say
It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away

Don't ever let me find you're gone cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory let's start a brand new story now my love

It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away
It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away
Fate Of Man lyrics - Glen Campbell
[Chorus:]
Pity a man for he don't know
The trouble he'll pass going down life's road
When a man is one and twenty, he thinks he knows it all
He can't see down the road of life where he'll ever fall
But fall he will as he travels through life
With all its pitfalls troubles and strife
Now at fifty, he's going real strong
He has him a family and a nice little home
But old age is creeping up his spine
And the day is coming when the sun won't shine
Now at sixty, he won't have to guess
He's already missed the boat that leads to success
But he's done his best and he can't see why
The fame of life just passed him by
Now at seventy, he can see the light
And he knows he's never been very bright
But he's done his best as he's travelled by
And now all he can do is just sit and sigh
[Chorus]
Now at eighty, he's ready for the wreath
He's wore out his hair and two sets of teeth
He has rheumatism in his hands and feet
And nothing seems good to eat
So you can pity him as he goes up the line
As he wobbles on the spindle and he's almost blind
And you can tell by the way that he travels alone
That it won't be long before he's going home
But if he's kept the commandments as he's travelled through life
He'll have a home in heaven where there'll be no strife
He's worked all his life to get things the way he wants them
He comes here against his will and he goes away disappointed
Pity a man for he don't know
The trouble he'll pass going down life's road
When a man is one and twenty, he thinks he knows it all
He can't see down the road of life where he'll ever fall
But fall he will as he travels through life
With all its pitfalls troubles and strife
Now at fifty, he's going real strong
He has him a family and a nice little home
But old age is creeping up his spine
And the day is coming when the sun won't shine
Now at sixty, he won't have to guess
He's already missed the boat that leads to success
But he's done his best and he can't see why
The fame of life just passed him by
Now at seventy, he can see the light
And he knows he's never been very bright
But he's done his best as he's travelled by
And now all he can do is just sit and sigh
[Chorus]
Now at eighty, he's ready for the wreath
He's wore out his hair and two sets of teeth
He has rheumatism in his hands and feet
And nothing seems good to eat
So you can pity him as he goes up the line
As he wobbles on the spindle and he's almost blind
And you can tell by the way that he travels alone
That it won't be long before he's going home
But if he's kept the commandments as he's travelled through life
He'll have a home in heaven where there'll be no strife
He's worked all his life to get things the way he wants them
He comes here against his will and he goes away disappointed
Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife lyrics - Glen Campbell
She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles that weren't there yesterday
And thinks of the young man that she almost married
What would he think if he saw her this way
She picks up her apron in little girl fashion as something comes into her mind
Then slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
Ah such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere anytime of the day
And everyday housewife who gave up the good time for me
The photograph album she takes from the closet and slowly turns the page
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower
The first one he gave her now withered with age
She closes her eyes and touches the housedress that suddenly disappears
And just for a moment she's wearing the gown
That broke all their minds back so many years
Ah such are the dreams...
Ah such are the dreams...
Ah such are the dreams...
And thinks of the young man that she almost married
What would he think if he saw her this way
She picks up her apron in little girl fashion as something comes into her mind
Then slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
Ah such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere anytime of the day
And everyday housewife who gave up the good time for me
The photograph album she takes from the closet and slowly turns the page
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower
The first one he gave her now withered with age
She closes her eyes and touches the housedress that suddenly disappears
And just for a moment she's wearing the gown
That broke all their minds back so many years
Ah such are the dreams...
Ah such are the dreams...
Ah such are the dreams...
The Straight Life lyrics - Glen Campbell
Sometimes I imagine myself as a drifter,
Seeker of fortunes, connoisseur of great wines.
Dashing through meadows of yellow and green,
Trying to catch the impossible dream,
Leavin' the straight life behind.
Sometimes my thoughts may find me in Mexico,
Drinkin' tequila goin' out of my mind.
Havin' a ball on a couple 'a bob,
Treatin' the ladies to corn on the cob,
Leavin' the straight life behind.
Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear,
She comes to me softly with crackers and beer,
Winkin' and blinkin' and blowin' in my ear,
Runnin' away with my mind.
It's great to be in love,
I'm not really thinkin' of
Leavin' the straight life behind
I'm just playin' a game in my mind.
Once in a while in my mind I go bummin',
Goin' to nowhere, with no worry of time
Runnin' along chasin' after a train,
Hummin' a song in the sun and the rain,
Leavin' the straight life behind.
I can just see me on a tropical island,
Ridin' the surf and drinkin' coconut wine.
Havin' me fun with the girls in the sand,
Chasin' the sun through an innocent land,
Leavin' the straight life behind.
Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear,
She comes to me softly with crackers and beer,
Winkin' and blinkin' and blowin' in my ear,
Runnin' away with my mind.
It's great to be in love,
I'm not really thinkin' of
Leavin' the straight life behind,
I'm just playin' a game in my mind.
Seeker of fortunes, connoisseur of great wines.
Dashing through meadows of yellow and green,
Trying to catch the impossible dream,
Leavin' the straight life behind.
Sometimes my thoughts may find me in Mexico,
Drinkin' tequila goin' out of my mind.
Havin' a ball on a couple 'a bob,
Treatin' the ladies to corn on the cob,
Leavin' the straight life behind.
Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear,
She comes to me softly with crackers and beer,
Winkin' and blinkin' and blowin' in my ear,
Runnin' away with my mind.
It's great to be in love,
I'm not really thinkin' of
Leavin' the straight life behind
I'm just playin' a game in my mind.
Once in a while in my mind I go bummin',
Goin' to nowhere, with no worry of time
Runnin' along chasin' after a train,
Hummin' a song in the sun and the rain,
Leavin' the straight life behind.
I can just see me on a tropical island,
Ridin' the surf and drinkin' coconut wine.
Havin' me fun with the girls in the sand,
Chasin' the sun through an innocent land,
Leavin' the straight life behind.
Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear,
She comes to me softly with crackers and beer,
Winkin' and blinkin' and blowin' in my ear,
Runnin' away with my mind.
It's great to be in love,
I'm not really thinkin' of
Leavin' the straight life behind,
I'm just playin' a game in my mind.
Reason To Believe lyrics - Glen Campbell
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way
To believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way
And I'd leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give
Never thinkin' of myself
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way
To believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I looked to find a reason to belie-ie-ieve
In you...
I'd find a way
To believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way
And I'd leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give
Never thinkin' of myself
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way
To believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I looked to find a reason to belie-ie-ieve
In you...
You Better Sit Down Kids lyrics - Glen Campbell
You better sit down kids, I'll tell you why, kids
You might not understand, kids, But give it a try, kids
Now how should I put this, I've got something to say
Your mama is staying, But I'm goin' away
No, we're not mad, kids, And it's hard to say why
Your mother and I, kids, Don't see eye to eye
Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
She's gonna need you most to stay in line
Keep in mind your mama's gonna need
Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before
No more fightin' over little things 'cause
I won't be here to stop them anymore
I know you don't want this, But neither do we
But sometimes things happen, That we can't foresee
So try to be calm, kids, And don't look so sad
Just cause I am leavin', I'll still be your dad
But just remember I love you, And though I'm not here
Just call if you need me, I'll always be near
Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
She's gonna need you most to stay in line
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need
Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before
No more fightin' over little things 'cause
I won't be here to stop them anymore
Well, I have to go now, So kiss me goodbye
My eyes are just red, kids, I'm too big to cry
You might not understand, kids, But give it a try, kids
Now how should I put this, I've got something to say
Your mama is staying, But I'm goin' away
No, we're not mad, kids, And it's hard to say why
Your mother and I, kids, Don't see eye to eye
Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
She's gonna need you most to stay in line
Keep in mind your mama's gonna need
Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before
No more fightin' over little things 'cause
I won't be here to stop them anymore
I know you don't want this, But neither do we
But sometimes things happen, That we can't foresee
So try to be calm, kids, And don't look so sad
Just cause I am leavin', I'll still be your dad
But just remember I love you, And though I'm not here
Just call if you need me, I'll always be near
Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
She's gonna need you most to stay in line
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need
Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before
No more fightin' over little things 'cause
I won't be here to stop them anymore
Well, I have to go now, So kiss me goodbye
My eyes are just red, kids, I'm too big to cry
That's Not Home lyrics - Glen Campbell
Maybe tomorrow I won't go home maybe she won't even care
At seven she'll throw a kiss towards the door and smile at my empty chair
For there's nothing there for a man to cling to nothing to pull me back home
Only a girl that's a stranger to me breathing on flames that are gone
Home isn't where I hang up my hat every night
And home isn't anything like cold arms holding me tight that's not right
And home isn't some place to go just to feel all alone that's not home
Maybe she might never see me again maybe that's the best way
I'll join myself to some south blowing wind leave her to find her own way
And maybe I'll find home someday
At seven she'll throw a kiss towards the door and smile at my empty chair
For there's nothing there for a man to cling to nothing to pull me back home
Only a girl that's a stranger to me breathing on flames that are gone
Home isn't where I hang up my hat every night
And home isn't anything like cold arms holding me tight that's not right
And home isn't some place to go just to feel all alone that's not home
Maybe she might never see me again maybe that's the best way
I'll join myself to some south blowing wind leave her to find her own way
And maybe I'll find home someday
Freeborn Man lyrics - Glen Campbell
I was born in southland twenty some odd years ago
I ran away for the first time when I was four years old
I'm a freeborn man my home is on my back
I know every inch of highway every foot of backroad every mile of railroad track
I got a gal Cincinnati I got a woman in San Antone
I've always loved the girl next door but any place is home
I'm a freeborn man...
Got me a worn out guitar I carry in an old coal sack
I've hocked it bout two hundred times but I always get it back
I'm a freeborn man...
[Guitar]
You may not like my appearance may not like my song
May not like the way I talk but you'll like me when I'm gone
I'm a freeborn man...
I'm a freeborn man...
I ran away for the first time when I was four years old
I'm a freeborn man my home is on my back
I know every inch of highway every foot of backroad every mile of railroad track
I got a gal Cincinnati I got a woman in San Antone
I've always loved the girl next door but any place is home
I'm a freeborn man...
Got me a worn out guitar I carry in an old coal sack
I've hocked it bout two hundred times but I always get it back
I'm a freeborn man...
[Guitar]
You may not like my appearance may not like my song
May not like the way I talk but you'll like me when I'm gone
I'm a freeborn man...
I'm a freeborn man...
The Last Letter lyrics - Glen Campbell
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend
What have I done that's made you so distant and cold
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
Will you be happy when you are withered and old
I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine
I cannot offer you all clothes that your young body crave
But if you'll say that you just love me and always be mine
Just think of the tears the heartaches and sorrow you'll save
While I am writing this letter I think of the past
And of the promises that you have broken so free
But to this old world I'll soon say my farewell at last
Cause I will be gone when you read this last letter from me
What have I done that's made you so distant and cold
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
Will you be happy when you are withered and old
I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine
I cannot offer you all clothes that your young body crave
But if you'll say that you just love me and always be mine
Just think of the tears the heartaches and sorrow you'll save
While I am writing this letter I think of the past
And of the promises that you have broken so free
But to this old world I'll soon say my farewell at last
Cause I will be gone when you read this last letter from me
She Called Me Baby lyrics - Glen campbell
She called me baby baby all night long used to hold and kiss me till the dawn
Then one day I awoke and she was gone there's no more baby baby all night long
Well she called me baby baby all night long
She kissed my tears away when things went wrong
What I'd give if she'd just come back home and call me baby baby all night long
[Trumpet]
She called me baby baby baby all night long
She held me up so high when things went wrong
Now each time in dreams just like a song I still hear baby baby all night long
Oh I hear baby baby baby all night long
Oh I hear baby baby baby all night long
Oh I hear baby baby baby all night long
Then one day I awoke and she was gone there's no more baby baby all night long
Well she called me baby baby all night long
She kissed my tears away when things went wrong
What I'd give if she'd just come back home and call me baby baby all night long
[Trumpet]
She called me baby baby baby all night long
She held me up so high when things went wrong
Now each time in dreams just like a song I still hear baby baby all night long
Oh I hear baby baby baby all night long
Oh I hear baby baby baby all night long
Oh I hear baby baby baby all night long
I Have No One To Love Me Anymore lyrics - Glen campbell
My baby's gone I have no one who needs me anymore
I can't go on I have no one to love me anymore
Time on my hands you on my mind giving in the broken dreams you left behind
Wherever I go whatever I do my heart keeps blinding me reminding me we're through
My baby's gone...
You took my hand and turned away leaving me withing the walls of yesterday
Wherever I go whatever I do there's no use trying I guess I'll never forget you
My baby's gone...
I can't go on I have no one to love me anymore
Time on my hands you on my mind giving in the broken dreams you left behind
Wherever I go whatever I do my heart keeps blinding me reminding me we're through
My baby's gone...
You took my hand and turned away leaving me withing the walls of yesterday
Wherever I go whatever I do there's no use trying I guess I'll never forget you
My baby's gone...
