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?

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

True Grit lyrics - Glen campbell

One day, little girl, the sadness will leave your face
As soon as you've won the fight to get justice done
Someday little girl you'll wonder what life's about
But other's have known few battles are won alone
So, you'll look around to find
Someone who's kind, someone who is fearless like you
The pain of it will ease a bit
When you find a man with true grit

One day you will rise and you won't believe your eyes
You'll wake up and see
A world that is fine and free
Though summer seems far away
You will find the sun one day

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...

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

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...

All I Have To Do Is Dream lyrics - Glen campbell

Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream

When I want you in the night
When I want you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreaming my life away

I need you so and that is why
I love you so, don't say goodbye
Whenever I want you
All I have to dream

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreaming my life away

I need you so and that is why
I love you so, don't say goodbye
Whenever I want you
All I have to dream

Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

It's Only Make Believe lyrics - Glen campbell

People see us everywhere
They think you really care
But myself I can't deceive
I know it's only make believe

My one and only prayer
Is that some day you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true
My one and only you

No one will ever know
How much I love you so
My only prayer will be
Someday you'll care for me
But it's only make believe

My hopes, my dreams come true
My life, I'd give for you
My heart, a wedding ring
My all, my everything

My heart, I can't control
You rule my very soul
My plans, my hopes, my schemes
Girl, you are my every dream
But it's only make believe

My one and only prayer
Girl, is that some day you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true
You're my one and only you

And no one will ever know
Just how much I love you so
And my only prayer will be
That someday you'll care for me
But it's only make believe
It's make believe

Pave Your Way Into Tomorrow lyrics - Glen Campbell

Living for today is part of living for tomorrow
For tomorrow's something we all have to find
It's blanket black at midnight
So your faith must be your night-light
To erase the fear of darkness from your mind
You have to pave your way into tomorrow
You've got to live and let your brother live as well
You've got to pave your way into tomorrow
And let your love of living cast it's spell

Gentle raindrops, falling people streams that keep on growing
Till they build a raging river deep and wide
Life's just a big river and if each man is a giver
We might help to make the ocean satisfied
You've got to pave your way into tomorrow…
You've got to live and let your brother live as well
You've got to pave your way into tomorrow
And let your love of living cast it's spell
And let your love of living cast it's spell

MacArthur Park lyrics - Glen campbell

Spring was never waiting for us girl it ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance
'Tween the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot fevered iron like a stripped pair of pants
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
And birds like tender babies in your hands
And the old man playing checkers by the trees
Mac Arturh Park is melting in the dark all the sweet green ising flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never had that recipe again oh no

There will be another songs for me for I will sing it
There will be another dream for me someone will bring it
I'll drink the wine while it is warm and never let you catch me looking in the sun
But after all the loves of my life after all the loves of my life you'll still be the one
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passions flow like rivers through the sky
But after all the loves of my life oh after all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you and wondering why
Mac Arturh Park is melting...

Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream) lyrics - Glen Campbell

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby

The Last Time I Saw Her lyrics - Glen Campbell

The last time I saw her face her eyes were bathed in starlight and her hair hung long
The last time she spoke to me
Her lips were like the scented flowers inside a rain-drenched forest
But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before
And if time could heal the wounds
I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more
The last time I walked with her her laughter was the steeple bells
That ring to greet the morning sun a voice that called to everyone
To love the ground we walked upon those were good days

[Strings]

The last time I held her hand her touch was autumn spring and summer and winter too
The last time I let go of her she walked a way into the night
I lost her in the misty streets a thousand months a thousand years
When other lips will kiss her eyes a million miles beyond the moon that's where she is
The last time I saw her face her eyes were bathed in starlight and she walked alone
The last time she kissed my cheek her lips were like the wilted leaves
Upon the autumn covered hills resting on the frozen ground
The seeds of love lie cold and still beneath a battered marking stone it lies forgotten

I Say A Little Prayer / By The Time I Get To Phoenix lyrics - Glen Campbell

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
(By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising)

I say a little prayer for you
(She'll find the note
I left hanging on her door)

While combing my hair now
(She'll laugh when she reads
The part that says I'm leaving)
And wondering what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you
(Cause I've left that girl
So many times before)

Forever and forever
(By the time I make Albuquerque
She'll be working)
You'll stay in my heart
And I will love you

Forever and ever
(She'll probably stop at lunch
And give me a call)
We never will part
And how I love you

Together, together
(But she'll just hear that
Phone keep on ringing)
That's how it must be
To live without you would
(Off the wall)
Only mean heartbreak for me
(That's all)

I run for the bus, dear
While riding, I think of us, dear
(By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleeping)
I say a little prayer for you
(She'll turn softly and
Call my name out low)

At work I just take time
(And she'll cry just to feel)
And all through my coffee break-time
(I'd really leave her)

I say a little prayer for you
(Though time and time
I've tried to tell her so)

I say a little prayer for you
(She just didn't know
I would really go)

No, she didn't know I'd go

The Last Thing On My Mind lyrics - Glen Campbell

It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

As we walk along my thoughts are tumblin'
Round and round, round and round
Underneath our feet are someplace rumblin'
Underground, underground

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

I've got reasons a plenty for goin'
This I know, this I know
The weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh I could've loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

I Knew Jesus (Before He Was A Star) lyrics - Glen Campbell

Well funny it seems as how everyone knows him now
Suddenly they have found someone who's been around
Back to the fold they come seeking his wisdom from a far
I knew Jesus before he was a superstar
Well you know I'm a believer in all that he's ever been
Stories I've read of him things that were said of him
Songs that they glorify I used to play on my guitar yes I did
I knew Jesus before he was a superstar
I've known his goodness and mercy for all my days
I've seen his blessings around me in every way
In times of trouble when I had no hope in view
Who brought the sunlight the one light that I knew
Oh yes I knew he was always there answering every prayer
Fame will not change him much he won't be out of touch
Great as he is today big people stay the way they are yes they do
I knew Jesus before he was a superstar
I've known his goodness...
I knew Jesus before he was a superstar
I knew Jesus before he was a superstar

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry lyrics - Glen campbell

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
That midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a night so long when time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die
It means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry

Houston (I'm Comin' To See You) lyrics - Glen campbell

Home is where I'm goin'
No matter how long it takes
And I've been livin' high 'n' free, love
It's time for me to try another way

I think I'll send her a postcard
So she can meet my plane
Well I don't know what I'll say to her
I've caused her so much pain

Houston, I'm-a comin' to see you
Houston, has it really been that lo-hong
I know I've been away
But I'm just callin' to tell you I'm leavin' today-hay-ay-hay-ay

Sittin' here in San Francisco
Lord I'm tryin' to get more pay
You know it's good to hear your voice again
You say the words I like to hear you say

Now I'm tryin' to read your letter
It's been almost a year
It did me good to get away from you
Now I'm wishin' you were here

Houston, I'm-a comin' to see you
Houston, has it really been that lo-hong
I know I've been away
But I'm just callin' to tell you I'm leavin' today-hay-ay

Houston, I'm-a comin' to see you
Houston, has it really been that lo-hong
Houston, Houston, Houston (Yeah, I'm a comin' to see you)
Houston, has it really been that lo-ho-ho-ong
Houston, Houston, Houston
(Yeah, I'm a comin' to see you), Houston [Fade]

Bonaparte's Retreat lyrics - Glen campbell

Met the girl I-I love in a town way down in Dixie
Beneath the stars up above
She was the sweetest girl I ever did see

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while the guitars played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Guitar....

All the world wa-as bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her-er say
Please don't you go away

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while the bagpipe played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Bagpipe...

Well I met the girl I-I love in a town way down in Dixie
Beneath the stars up above
She was the sweetest girl I ever did see

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while the fiddles played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Fiddle...

All the world wa-as bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her-er say
Please don't you go away

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while everybody played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Everybody...

Yes I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while everybody's playin'
The Bonaparte's Retreat

Yes I held her in my arms, I told her of her many charms, and I
Kissed her while everybody's playin' [Fade]

The Moon's A Harsh Mistress lyrics - Glen campbell

See her how she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold

Once the sun did shine
Lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
And the moon's a harsh mistress
It's so hard to love her well

I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face
Yes, I did, and I - I tripped and I missed my star
God, I fell and I fell alone, I fell alone
And the moon's a harsh mistress
And the sky is made of stone

The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own.

Rhinestone Cowboy lyrics - Glen Campbell

I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone

Well, I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train
That's takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' card and letters from people I don't even know....

Country Boy (You Got Your Feet In L.A.) lyrics - Glen Campbell

Livin' in the city
Ain't never been my idea of gettin' it on
But the job demands that you make new plans
Before your big chance is gone

You get a house in the hills
You're payin' everyone's bills
And they tell you that you're gonna go far
But in the back of my mind
I hear it time after time
"Is that who you really are"

Country boy, you got your feet in LA
But your mind's on Tennessee
Lookin' back, I can remember the time
When I sang my songs for free
Country boy, you got your feet in LA
Take a look at everything you own
But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home

Talkin' on the telephone
Settin' up another day of people to meet
You've gotta do what's right
You've gotta spend the night
Stayin' in touch with the street
When you're surrounded by friends
They say the fun never ends
But I guess I'll never figure it out
'Cause in the back of my mind
I hear it time after time
"Is this what it's all about"

Country boy, you got your feet in LA
But your mind's on Tennessee
Lookin' back, I can remember the time
When I sang my songs for free
Country boy, you got your feet in LA
Take a look at everything you own
But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home [2x]

Arkansas lyrics - Glen Campbell

Arkansas, land of opportunity
Arkansas, oh, what you do to me
Prettiest place I ever saw
Was back home in Arkansas

All those boyhood memories
Lakes and rivers and Backwood trees
Gentle mountains, it reached to the sky
Oh, how I hated to say goodbye to

Arkansas, land of opportunity
Arkansas, oh, what you do to me
Prettiest place I ever saw
Was back home in Arkansas

Dirt roads that lead nowhere
Except the houses that need repairing
And front porch people wearing a smile
And they cover every mile of

Arkansas, land of opportunity
Arkansas, oh, what you do to me
Prettiest place I ever saw
Was back home in Arkansas

I can see my Dad back home
Working Park County, sandy lawn
Mama callin' me from the door
Oh, how I wanna go once more to

Arkansas, land of opportunity
Arkansas, oh, what you do to me
Prettiest place I ever saw
Was back home in Arkansas

Arkansas, land of opportunity
Arkansas, oh, what you do to me
Prettiest place I ever saw
Was back home in Arkansas

Don't Pull Your Love / Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye lyrics - Glen Campbell

[Don't Pull Your Love]

[Chorus:]
Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do, I think that maybe I'll just lay
Me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me, honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me here to drown in my own tears

You say you're gonna leave
Gonna take that big white bird
Gonna fly right out of here without a single word
But you know you'll break my heart
When I watch you close that door
'Cause I know I won't see you any more

[Chorus]

Haven't I been good to you
What about that brand new ring
Doesn't that mean love to you
Doesn't that mean anything
If I throw away my pride and I got down on my knees
Would you make me beg you pretty please

[Chorus]

There's so much I want to do
I've got love enough for two
I'll never use it girl If I don't have you

[Chorus]

[Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye]

Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sigh
After you've loved me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

If you must go I won't grieve
If you just wait a life time before you leave
If you must go, I won't say "no"
Just so we can say that we tried
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Southern Nights lyrics - Glen Campbell

Southern nights
Have you ever felt a southern night
Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so
Southern nights
Just as good even when closed your eyes
I apologize
To any one who can truly say
That he's found a better way

Southern skies
Have you ever noticed
Southersn skies
It's precious beauty
Lies just beyone the eye
It goes running through the soul
Like the stories told of old

Old man
He and his dog that walk the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
Weeping willows would cry for joy

Joy

Feels so good
Feels so good it's frightening
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La-da-da-da-da, da-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da

Mystery
Like this and many others
In the trees
Blow in the night
In the southern skies

Southern nights
They feel so good it's frightening
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La-da-da-da-da, da-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da

Sunflower lyrics - Glen Campbell

Sunflower, good morning
You sure do make it like a sunny day
Sunflower, fair warning
I'm gonna love you if you come my way

Now, if there's a chance that romance can find you
Better not find you looking the other way
Now, isn't it time you finally take it
Make it so real it steals your breath away
Hey hey hey

Sunflower, good morning
You sure do make it like a sunny time
Sun morning, good morning
And someday, child, I'm gonna make you mine

Well, if there's a chance that romance will find you
Better not find you looking the other way
Isn't it time you finally take it
Make it so good it steals your breath away
Hey hey hey

Sunflower, good morning
You sure do make it like a sunny time
Sunflower, sweet morning
For every time I'm gonna make you mine

God Only Knows lyrics - Glen campbell

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
And God only knows what I'd be without you

And God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you
[repeat to fade]

I'm Gonna Love You lyrics - Glen Campbell

I know you've been in love before
I know it some times seems like war
But i just want to show you there's no use
To hold up those scars anymore

Cuz honey I'm gonna love you and
I'm gonna take care of you
And I'm gonna love you all our lives
You will be needed
All your words of wisdom headed
And I'm gonna love you all our lives

They say it's pretty in the snow
Maybe we'll find out if its so
We can take a photograph and write underneath
The places we wanted to go

Can You Fool lyrics - Glen Campbell

Well you can take all of the money that you made and put it in the jar
Drag out a map that will show you, is Heaven very far?
You take all of the medicine you need 'til ya find out who you are
Maybe you can figure why that woman wanna be so cruel
But ya, ya just can't forget her, can you fool?

Well those winter nights and the city lights and the crying of the train
Everyday is a shade of gray, every memory's a fade
And then ya finally use the sense God gave ya to come out of the rain
Still you can't figure why that man is got to be so cruel
But ya just can't forget him, can you fool?

Oh, love is long and love is hard
Love brings lots of pain
She was here, now she's gone
Lord, bring her back again

Well you can take all of the money that you made and put it in the jar
Drag out a map that will show you, is Heaven very far?
And you can take all of the medicine you need 'til ya find out who you are
Still you can't figure why that man he got to be so cruel
But ya just can't forget him, can you fool?
No, you just can't forget her, can you fool?
Aww, can you fool?

Highwayman lyrics - Glen Campbell

I was a highwayman along the coach roads I did ride
With the sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
But I am still alive

I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner 'round the horn of Mexico
I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they say that I got killed
But I am living still, perhaps I'll always, I don't know

I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around, seems like it all goes 'round and 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round yes it goes when here we go

I'll fly a starship across the universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain and I'll be back again
Yes, I will when here we go but I'll be back again
Yes, I will when here we go but I'll be back again

Somethin' 'Bout You Baby I Like lyrics - Glen Campbell

I see you every day
Walking down the avenue
I'd like to get to know you
But all I do is smile at you

Oh, baby
When it comes to talking
My tongue gets so tight
This sidewalk love affair
Has got me high as a kite

Yeah, yeah, there's something
Bout you, baby, I like

Well, I'm a slow walker
But, girl, I'd race a mile for you
Just to get there in time
For my peek-a-boo rendezvous
Well, maybe it's the way you
Wear you're blue jeans so tight
I can't put my finger on
What you're doing right

Yeah, yeah, there's something
Bout you, baby, I like

Yeah, yeah, there's something
Bout you, baby, I like

Well, I'm standing on a corner
Smiling by a telephone
I'd just love to check you over
Get to know you like
A fine tooth comb

Oh, now when I go home
I turn out the light
And you come strolling through
My dreams every night

Yeah, yeah, there's something
Bout you, baby, I like

Yeah, yeah, there's something
Bout you, baby, I like

Yeah, yeah, there's something
Bout you, baby, I like

Any Which Way You Can lyrics - Glen Campbell

It's hard for a back street affair to be easy
For each hour of happiness there's two hours of pain
We meet in the shadows because all that matters
Spending the night with you once again.
You leave with a promise you'll call me tomorrow
But I never know when the next time will be
And each time you leave me I can't help but wonder
For tonight the last night for me- for me

[Chorus:]
Any which way you can
Just love me any which way you can
My loves not the choking kind
You've got your life and I've got mine
So if you can ever be free
Darling I'll understand
But when you're laying next to me
Just love me any which way you can

Now you're on your way home
And I'm all alone
I'm feeling? (Cant make that line out!)
It's so hard to be strong
When I know I belong in -your arms- but I'm lying here lonely instead

[Chorus]

I Was Too Busy Loving You lyrics - Glen Campbell

When was the time
You first thought of leaving
And hid it away in back of your smile
And then slowly
Surely we came apart
Seconds to inches
Minutes to miles

And it was so easy
I was too blind
To notice what everyone else could see
I was too busy
Loving you
To see you
Slipping away from me

When do we lose
The things that we cherish
We blindly believe
The world's on our side
And from the very first time
I took it for granted
I'd already lost you
You'd already lied to me girl

It was so easy
I was too blind
To notice
What everyone else could see
I was too busy
Loving you
To see you
Slipping away

Couldn't see you
Slipping away
From me

Faithless Love lyrics - Glen Campbell

Faithless love like a river flows
Like raindrops falling on a lonesome road
Down in some valley where nobody goes

And the night rolls in it's like a cold dark friend
Faithless love like a river flows

Faithless love, where did I go wrong?
Was it telling stories in a heartbreak song?
Where nobody's right, nobody was wrong

Faithless love has found me
Wrapped its chilly arms around me
Faithless love, where did I go wrong?

Well, I guess I'm standing in the hall of broken dreams
That's the way it sometimes goes
And every new love never turns out like it seems
I guess the feeling comes and goes

Faithless love like a river flows
Like raindrops falling on a lonesome road
Down in some valley where nobody goes

Faithless love has found me
Wrapped its chilly arms
Faithless love like a river flows

A Lady Like You lyrics - Glen Campbell

Here I am
Just an ordinary man
And my virtues are few
And I'm amazed
Every morning when I wake
With a lady like you

You're all the good things God put on this earth
And you're so much more than I deserve
And what did I ever do to win a lady like you

Look at me
I'm as common as can be
But do you make me shine
And look at you
You're a lady through and through,
So gracious and kind

And when you sleep, it's always by my side
I look at you and I'm mystified
And what did I ever do to win a lady like you

Heaven knows I'm less than perfect
And I have found the very best
But it's a mystery how someone like me
Was chosen to be blessed with a lady like you

[Musical break with guitar picking]

You're all the good things God put on this earth
And you're so much more than I deserve
And what did I ever do to win a lady like you
A lady like you

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle lyrics - Glen Campbell

He got here red and wrinkled scared and cryin'
Then she took him up and held him to her breast
And he sure was glad to get what mama offered
Then he went to sleep and put his fears to rest

It didn't seem to matter what he needed
He could always count on mama to supply
And regardless of the sleep she might be losin'
He always found a twinkle in her eye

There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
Creation's most unique and precious pearls
And heaven help us always to remember
That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

She taught him all the attributes of greatness
That she knew he couldn't learn away from home
And by the time she wore the cover off her bible
Her hair was gray and her little man was gone

There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
Creation's most unique and precious pearls
And heaven help us always to remember
That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
Yes, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

I Have You lyrics - Glen campbell

Sailors have the seven seas and four strong winds that blow
Drifters have the next town down the road.
Gamblers have the chance to bet the ace that's in the hole
Soldiers have the hope of coming home.
And the flowers have the early April rain,
Believers have what they have never seen,
And the dreamers have tomorrow if today does not come true.
You have eyes that shine, and I have you.
Heroes have their names engraved forever in a stone,
Hermits have their peace of mind alone.
Lovers have each other and a small slice of the moon.
God still bless the child who has his own.
And the flowers have the early April rain,
Believers have what they have never seen,
And the dreamers have tomorrow if today does not come true.
You have eyes that shine, and I have you.
The flowers have the early April rain,
Believers have what they have never seen
And the dreamers have tomorrow if today does not come true.
You have eyes that shine, and I have you.

If These Walls Could Speak lyrics - Glen Campbell

If these old walls, if these old walls could speak
What a tale they'd have to tell, hard headed people raisin' hell
A couple in love livin' week to week
Rooms full of laughter, if these old walls could speak

If these old hallowed halls, if hallowed halls could talk
These would have a tale to tell, the sun goin' down and dinner bells
And children playin' at hide and seek
From floor to rafters, if these old walls could speak

They would tell you that I'm sorry bein', cold and blind and weak
They would tell you that it's only that I have a stubborn streak
If these old walls could speak

If these old fashion window panes had eyes
I guess they would have seen it all, each little tear and silence step fall
And every dream that we came to seek
And further after, if these old walls could speak

They would tell you that I owe you, more that I could ever pay
Here's someone who really loves you, don't ever go away
That's what these walls would say

Unconditional Love lyrics - Glen Campbell

Here's to the people who gave me life
And then showed me how to live it
And taught me that you measure love
By how freely you can give it

And the gift I give to you
Is the lesson that I learned
That when a love is true
It has nothing in return

Unconditional love, that they gave to me
It wasn't mine to keep and I knew someday
I'd hand it down to you and hope that I can be
The one who makes you see
The importance of unconditional love

And there were times I know I let them down
But never once was I rejected
And when I stood alone to face this world
Somehow I still felt protected

That's the common bond we share
And it will last through the years
And you can trust that I'll be there
Through the good times and the tears

Unconditional love, like they gave to me
It's not yours to keep and I know someday
Someone will look to you and you will have to be
The one who makes him see
The importance of unconditional love

She's Gone, Gone, Gone lyrics - Glen Campbell

She said if I ever deceive her
She'd be gone before I could count ten,
I guess that I didn't believe her;
Oh just look at the trouble I'm in.

[Chorus:]
Now she's gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, gone, cryin' won't bring her back;
The more that I cry, the faster that plane flies
Father across the sky.

Well I lost every right to be happy,
Well I lost all the Heaven I found;
She warned me she'd leave and she left me,
Before my first tear hit the ground.

[Chorus]...

If I only knew where I could find her
Well I'd crawl there on my hands and knees.
'Cause each tick of the clock will remind her
That she's one second farther from me.

[Chorus]...

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]...

Farther across the sky.

Show Me Your Way lyrics - Glen campbell

When I find myself in sadness
And fear of all to which I drift
I climb the stairs of gladness
And face the light of God instead

As I wander through the darkness
I search for all that's truth and bright
To walk the pads of glory
And see the lamp of Gods tonight

Show me Your way, oh Lord
And let me sing all praise to Thee
Take my heart and hear my prayer
I need Your love to show me

As I feel the world awakin'
The wonder of Your gentle hand
Will touch all hearts, arisin'
And change the empty course of man

Show me Your way, oh Lord
And let me sing all praise to Thee
Take my heart and hear my prayer
I need Your love to show me

I was livin' for fame and passion
All my feelings have slipped away
As I longed for another passion
To lead me to this place today

Show me Your way, oh Lord
And let me sing all praise to Thee
Take my heart and hear my prayer
I need Your love to show me
I need Your love to show me

Only One Life lyrics - glen campbell

Only one life
Just a tiny spark
But now that he is gone
I am somewhere in the dark

If there are ten million men
On this planet, tell me then
How could only one life
Leave such a mark on me?

One life, how could I have known?
One life could be such a part of me
As precious as my own
Only one life

Only one life, what does it mean?
It's only birth and death
And everything between

If livin' is a pointless truth
Just existence, nothing more
Why does only one life
Leave such an empty space?

One life, make it right or wrong
One life, take the love I can't replace
That always will be known to only one life

Just another sore monsoon here
So who cares if one should fall?
There were small world full of magic when he
Touched the wall, we change it all
With only one life

We only have once chance to find
But if we live it right
All we need is one life to make a difference here
One life, it's such a small amount

One life to say we care to make it clear
We have to make it count, once and for all
With only one life
Only one life

Somebody Like That lyrics - Glen campbell

Well he can't be more than seventy
She's not a day over sixty-five
But they'd returned to a plane in forty-three
And their fire's still burning bright

They'll be found holdin' hands at the picture show
Lookin' just like Juliet and Romeo
The sad song won't steal the beat away
They got a special kind of love that's here to stay

See the romance on the port of sea
Auburn hair grew a silver linin'
There's something in their eyes
You just don't see these days

I wanna love somebody like that, I wanna hold on forever-er
Two heart's become one with a love like that
I wanna love somebody like that
I wanna love somebody, yeah-eah-eah

I was head over heels in junior high
And it lasted a week or two
When my heart was destroyed I cried and cried
'Til I found me somebody new

Life without a real love is tragedy
That's why I'm gonna find a love that's right for me
I've gotta look beyond what my eyes can see
Until my dreams are reality

There's gotta be more to fallin' in love
Than fallin' away when the stayin' gets tough
I want my love to be young when I'm old and grey

I wanna love somebody like that, I wanna hold on forever
Two heart's become one with a love like that
I wanna love somebody like that
I wanna love somebody, yeah-eah-eah

I wanna love somebody like that, I wanna hold on forever-er
Two heart's become one with a love like that
I wanna love somebody like that
I wanna love somebody
I wanna love somebody like that

The Impossible Dream lyrics - Glen campbell

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love, pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell
For the heavenly cause

And I know
If I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To fight the unbeatable foe
To reach the unreachable star

The Lord's Prayer lyrics - Glen Campbell

Our Father, Who Art in Heaven
Hallowed be, Thy Name
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be Done
On earth, as it is, in Heaven

Give us this day, our daily bread
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil
For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory forever
Amen

Didn't We lyrics - Glen Campbell

This time we almost made the pieces fit
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made some sense of it
Didn't We, girl?
This time I had the answer right here in my hand,
Then I touched it and it had turned to sand,
This time we almost sang our song in tune
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made it to the moon oh,
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made our poem rhyme,
This time we almost made that long hard climb,
Didn't We almost make it this time?

This time we almost made the pieces fit
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made some sense of it
Didn't We, girl?
This time I had the answer right here in my hand,
Then I touched it and it had turned to sand,
This time we almost sang our song in tune
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made it to the moon oh,
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made our poem rhyme,
This time we almost made that long hard climb,
Didn't We almost make it this time?

My Way lyrics - Glen Campbell

And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain
My friend I'll say it clear I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full I traveled each and every highway
And more much more than this I did it my way
Regrets I've had a few but then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course each careful step along the byway
And more much more than this I did it my way
Yes there were times I'm sure you knew when I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I've lived I've laughed and cried I've had my fill my share of losing
And now as tears subside I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that and may I say not in a shy way
Oh no oh no not me I did it my way
For what is a man what has he got if not himself then he has not
To say the things he truly feels and not the worlds of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way yes it was my way

Try To Remember / The Way We Were lyrics - Glen Campbell

Hey you know everybody's talkin' about the good old days
Everybody the good old days
The good old days
Well, let's talk about the good old days
Come to think about it
As bad as we think they are
These will become the good old days of our children
Why don't we try to remember
The kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember
And if you remember
Then follow
Why does it always seem the past is better
We look back and think
The winters were warmer
The grass was greener
The skies were bluer
The smiles were brighter
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me
Would we?
Could we?

Memories like the corners of my mind
Memories
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Oh can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me
Would we?
Could we?

Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we'll remember
We'll remember
Whenever we remember
The Way We Were...

Amazing Grace lyrics - Glen Campbell

Oh amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost oh but now I'm found I was blind Lord but now I see
Through many dangers toils and snares that we already fear
Twas grace that brought the sake the spar and grace will lead us home
When we've when we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining bright shining as the sun
Lord we found this place to sing God's praise Lord as when we first begun
(Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost oh but now I'm found I was blind Lord but now I see)
Amazing amazing grace how sweet the sound...

If everybody had an ocean

Huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
Ventura County line
Santa Cruz and Trestle
Australia's Narrabeen
All over Manhattan
And down Doheny Way

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

We'll all be planning that route
We're gonna take real soon
We're waxing down our surfboards
We can't wait for June
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on surfari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

Haggerties and Swamies
Pacific Palisades
San Onofre and Sunset
Redondo Beach L. A.
All over La Jolla
At Wa'imea Bay.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

Still Within The Sound Of My Voice lyrics - Glen campbell

Where have you gone
My darling one
Are you on your own
Are you having fun
Is there someone to hold
When you need it bad
Is it uncontrolled
Like the love we had
Does a day go by
Like a memory
Do you ever try
To remember me
In an automobile
Or a crowded bar
Well I hope you're alright
Wherever you are

And if you're still within the sound of my voice
Over some radio
I just want you to know
You were always my only choice
And wherever you go
That I still love you so
If you're still within the sound of my voice

In the dead of night
Do you hear me call
Something's quite not right
No one's there at all
Did you make a mistake
Was it in your head
Or was it merely me talking
To your heart instead

And if you're still within the sound of my voice
Over some radio
I just want you to know
That it always made me rejoice
Just to have you so near
There's a place for you here
If you're still within the sound of my voice

I am calling like the echo
Of a passing train that cries
One last time before it fades into
The distant hills and dies
I am sending out a message
Like a ship out on the sea in distress
But only you can send a lifeline out to me

Are you still within the sound of my voice
Why don't you let me know
I just can't let you go
If it's wrong then I have no choice
But to love you until
I no longer have the will
If you're still within the sound of my voice

I am calling like the echo
Of a passing train that cries
One last time before it fades into
The distant hills and dies
