Why Cry lyrics - Crystal Gayle
I don't think I'll be a fool tonight
Just because our love's not going right
It does no good at all to walk the floor
And listen for your knock upon my door
Why cry?
Why not dry these tears and call it goodbye?
Even though I know that I
Can't admit we're really through
You'll just break my heart in two
If your love is just a lie
Why cry?
I could shed a million tears, but what's the use
'Cause these two eyes have took enough abuse
And even though it cuts me to the bone
Crying's never gonna bring you home
So why cry?
Why not dry these tears and call it goodbye?
Even though I know that I
Can't admit we're really through
And you'll just break my heart in two
If your love is just a lie
Why cry?
Drop by drop I've wasted time
Heartache over you
I need to get control of me
Find somebody new
So why cry?
Why not dry these tears and call it goodbye?
Even though I know that I
Can't admit we're really through
You'll just break my heart in two
Your love is just a lie
Why cry?
Your love is just a lie
Why cry?
A Rose Between Two Thorns lyrics - Crystal Gayle
She is weeping, there's no sleeping
Underneath their angry roar
They can't hear her, she can't figure
What they're always fighting for
Every night they end up this way
Tearing each other apart
And hearing them say she's the reason they stay together
Just breaks her heart
She's a rose between two thorns
A calm between two storms
And through the bitter words and slamming doors
Still there grows a rose between two thorns
They fight each other but they both love her
She's their only common ground
She can't take it, but she'll have to make it
Someday they won't be around
A day don't go by she don't wonder why
They brought her into this world
So each night she prays that it won't be this way
When she has her own little girl
Shes a rose between two thorns
A calm between two storms
And through the bitter words and slamming doors
Still there grows a rose between two thorns
Still there grows a rose between two thorns
The Trouble With Me (Is You) lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Lately I've been spending all my time alone
All my friends say I spend too much time at home
They say that's my trouble
Trouble is that's not true
The trouble with me is you
The trouble with me
Is you're with someone else
I've tried to forget you
But nothing seems to help
If lonely was my only trouble
I'd find someone new
The trouble with me is you
Living it up they say is the way to live you down
But can't they see your memory's just too strong to drown
I ain't got no trouble with a glass of wine or two
The trouble with me is you
The trouble with me
Is you're with someone else
I've tried to forget you
But nothing seems to help
If lonely was my only trouble
I'd find someone new
The trouble with me is you
Oh, if lonely was my only trouble
I'd find someone new
The trouble with me is you
If The Phone Doesn't Ring, It's Me lyrics - Crystal Gayle
(originally by Jimmy Buffett)
There are oceans of feelings between us
Currents they take us and sweep us away
That's why we're sailing and've seen us
And a ladder of cold holiday
Lots of new friends with the same old dancers
Open your eyes you might see
If a life without simple with living a past
If the phone doesn't ring it's me
If the phone doesn't ring you know that it's me
Of the other the eye of the storm
If the phone doesn't ring you know that I'll be
With someone can make me feel won
It's too bad we can't turn and live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring it's me
I've had good days and bad days
And going half mad days
I've tried to let go but you're still on my mind
I've lost all the old ways I'm searching for new place
Putting it all on the line
Lots of new friends with the same old problems
Open your eyes you might see
If a life's without something would live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring it's me
If the phone doesn't ring you'll know that it's me
Of the other the eye of the storm
If the phone doesn't ring you know that I'll be
With someone can make me feel won
It's too bad we can't turn and live in the past
If the phone doesn't ring it's me
It's me, it's me
It's me, it's me
It's me, it's me
It's me, it's me
If it takes all the future we'll live through the past
If the phone doesn't ring it's me
One Less Set Of Footsteps lyrics - Crystal Gayle
(originally by Jim Croce)
We been running away from
Something we both know
We've long run out of things to say
And I think I better go
So don't be getting excited
When you hear that slammin' door
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
And we've been hidin' from somethin'
That should have never gone this far
But after all it's what we've done
That makes us what we are
And you've been talkin' in silence
But if it's silence you adore
There'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less girl to walk in
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a-talkin'
But tomorrow's a dream away
Today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust
If that's the way that you want it
That's the way I want it more
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less girl to walk in
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a-talkin'
But tomorrow's a dream away
Today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust
If that's the way that you want it
That's the way I want it more
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
The Least That I Can Do lyrics - Crystal Gayle
You don't have to say you're sorry
You don't owe me anything
I've got the years we've shared
Just let that be enough
I don't want to lose you
Or feel the hurt I'm going through
But if that says I love you
That's the least I can do
I've finally found a way to make you happy
I've always wanted to
I'll keep my arms from reaching out, I'll let you go
If that's what's best for you
It's not that I don't need you
I've got everything to lose
But if that says I love you
That's the least that I can do
I've finally found a way to make you happy
I've always wanted to
I'll keep my arms from reaching out, I'll let you go
If that's what's best for you
I don't want to lose you
Or feel the hurt I'm going through
But if that says I love you
That's the least that I can do
You know I'll always love you
That's the least that I can do
Love To, Can't Do lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Somewhere along the way I fell in love
I promised not to stray but now you're trying to make it rough
You've shoulda not look so good and I should not be here
But hardest racin' the headest spinnin'
But one thing here is clear
Love to but I can't do right now,won't to but I can not stay
Love to but I can't do,hate to leave you here this way
If I was a free girl baby everything could be so right
Love to but I can't do,hate to leave you here tonight
So many older roads that I could take
Think that I'll just did on home back to my own interstate
Your mood is full of pressure and I'm full of fear
Hardest racin' the headest spinning, I'll better get out of here
Love to but I can't do right now,won't to but I can not stay
Love to but I can't do,hate to leave you here this way
If I was a free girl baby, everything could be so right
Love to but I can't do,hate to leave you here tonight
Love to but I can't do right now,won't to but I can not stay
Love to but I can't do,hate to leave you here this way
If I was a free girl baby everything could be so right
Love to but I can't do hate to leave you here tonight
Love to but I can't do
Love to but I can't do, hate to leave you here tonight
Love to but I can't do right now,won't to but I can not stay
Love to but I can't do,hate to leave you here this way
99% Of The Time lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Well it's over, so long
There's no shoulder, to lean on
But I'm doing alright standing on my own
I can depend on me
Now everything I wanted to do
I'm doing it now that I'm living without you
And suddenly right out of the blue
I just can't help it, I'm thinking about you
Ninety-nine percent of the time
You're the only love
Still beating in this heart of mine
Alone at nights I hold somebody new
And I start to believe I'm finally over you
But ninety-nine percent of the time
You're the only love still beating
You're the only love still beating in this heart of mine
Oh I wonder sometimes
Do you ever miss the good times
Oh do you wanna call me on the telephone
The nights when you're alone
I hear your doing just fine
Are you really happy living without me
I know I'm gonna get by
But I'll still be here if you're thinking about me
Ninety-nine percent of the time
You're the only love
Still beating in this heart of mine
Alone at nights I hold somebody new
And I start to believe I'm finally over you
But Ninety-nine percent of the time
You're the only love still beating
You're the only love still beating in this heart of mine
And suddenly right out of the blue
I just can't help it, I'm thinking about you
Ninety-nine percent of the time
You're the only love
Still beating in this heart of mine
Alone at nights I hold somebody new
And I start to believe I'm finally over you
But ninety-nine percent of the time
You're the only love still beating
You're the only love still beating (still beating)
You're the only love still beating in this heart of mine
Living In Tears lyrics - Crystal Gayle
In tears
How could he leave me
In tears
And just throw away
All the love that we made
For all of those years
How could he leave me in tears
In love
I woke up to find him
In love
With somebody else
Now I just can't help
Wonderin' how I got here
Living my life in tears
Funny how things can change
Funny how the tables turn
When the fires of love die down
Someone's bound to wind up burned
Funny how things can change
Funny how the tables turn
When the fires of love die down
Someone's bound to wind up burned
In time
My eyes will dry
In time
And the hurt that I feel
Will somehow heal and then disappear
And I won't be living in tears
No I won't be living in tears
Three Good Reasons lyrics - Crystal Gayle
She was thirty years something when she crossed the line
Between southern Virginia and North Carolina
She was running away from a broken heart
With two sleeping children in the back of the car
The man she had promised her whole life to
Had told her that he'd found somebody new
Part of her wished she could lay down and die
But the part in charge looked him straight in the eyes instead
And that's when she said
Instead
I've got three good reasons to survive
One is eight years old
And one will soon be turning five
The third one is a woman
Who still has her pride
And that makes three good reasons to survive
She called some friends up in Rocky Mount
Who said they'd be glad to help her out
They put her and the children in the spare bedroom
She promised she'd find her own place soon
And she thanked 'em for their help
And said softly to herself
I've got three good reasons to survive
One is eight years old
And one will soon be turning five
The third one is a woman
Who still has her pride
And that makes three good reasons to survive
Now she's made a brand new home
Her laughter's back, her tears are gone
If you ask what made her strong
She'll just smile and say
I had three good reasons to survive
One is eight years old
And one has just turned five
The third one is a woman
Who never lost her pride
And that makes three good reasons to survive
Oh I had three good reasons to survive
Three good reasons
To survive
Oh, three good reasons to survive
Everybody's Reaching Out For Someone lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Everybody's reaching out for someone
Everybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
You're the one that I was reaching for
Just like the trees along the river bend
Lift up the branches to the sun above
We spent our lifetimes reaching for a friend
Cause everybody reach someone to love
Everybody's reaching out for someone
Everybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
You're the one that I was reaching for
I wanted you since the day my life began
I've heard your footsteps running just beyond my mind
Ever since that moment I've been reaching for your hand
Hoping you'd be reaching out for mine
Everybody's reaching out for someone
Everybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
You're the one that I was reaching for
It Ain't Gonna Worry My Mind lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Same old story, they all hand me
Preacher tells me, these are troubled times
But I know the Lord's been in tougher scrapes than this one
It ain't gonna worry
It ain't gonna worry
It ain't gonna worry my mind
Got no money in my pocket
You don't get rich workin' overtime
But as long as you can't buy the spring time in Virginia
It ain't gonna worry (ain't gonna worry me)
It ain't gonna worry (ain't gonna worry)
It ain't gonna worry my mind
Love is all that ever makes you richer
Oh, if the truth be told
Moonlight's been my only silver
And the sun my only gold
So go on wishin', go on prayin'
Go on sayin', "I'll hit better times"
But how in the world could He love me any better?
It ain't gonna worry (ain't gonna worry me)
It ain't gonna worry (ain't gonna worry)
It ain't gonna worry my mind
Just An Old Love lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Don't mind me if I should stare across the room
It's just an old love, just an old love
Seems to me, it's just a ghost of some perfume
It's just an old love that's come back way too soon
I find myself wondering about him, now and then
Like some dream overdue
Sometimes on the avenue like a boat [?] blues
Feels like our roses are still in bloom
So don't mind me if a sudden teardrop starts to fall
It's just an old love and that's all
There's no getting away from a memory
Sometimes all it takes is a melody
Don't mind me if my life to wondering through
It's just an old love, something I see in you
Deep within the shadow of my doubt
Last night, I had his picture out
To see if his eyes would still shine
Sure enough and right away
I had to look the other way
Just couldn't keep my heart off of my mind
So don't mind me if I should stare across the room
It's just an old love that's come back way too soon
Just an old love but that ain't nothing new
Just Like The Blues lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Wakes you up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat
You're thinking about somebody you tried to forget
Maybe it's the full moon made him cross your mind
Now you're lying there all alone and you feel like crying
You had a lot of chances to make things right
Oh, but you let them all fall through
So now, in the middle of your lonely nights
Funny how it always gets to you
And it's just like the blues to come calling
Oh, it's just like they always do
All of the memories you've been hiding
Funny how it always gets to you
And it's just like the blues
Now you're thinking about him and the way things change
It's all that you can do to keep from calling out his name
So you pick up the phone to call, but you change your mind
He wouldn't talk to you anyway, it's just a waste of time
Love can be a cruel thing, it makes a girl confused
You never know just what you should do
Just when you think you're over him for good
Funny how it always gets to you
And it's just like the blues to come calling
Oh, it's just like they always do
All of the memories you've been hiding
Funny how it always gets to you
And it's just like the blues to come calling
Oh, it's just like they always do
All of the memories you've been hiding
Funny how it always gets to you
And it's just like the blues
Just like the blues to come calling
Just like the blues, ooh
Just like the blues
Whenever It Comes To You lyrics - Crystal Gayle
I've done some things I should forget
Mistakes I have made a few
But darling I don't have one regret
Whenever it comes to you
I've never been the prayin' kind
But lately that's all I do
I always love and there's the rub
Whenever it comes to you
Sometimes it feels nothin' stays the same
There are some things that will never change
Rain must fall and birds must fly
This much I know is true
And I'll always be a fool at heart
Whenever it comes to you
And I'll always be a fool at heart
Whenever it comes to you
Never Ending Song Of Love lyrics - Crystal Gayle
I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you
After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Feel for each other, from now on
Feels so good I can hardly stand it
Never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you
After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Feel for each other, from now on
Feels so good I hardly stand it
Never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you
I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you
I'd have a never ending love for you
I'd sing my never ending song of love for you
Once In A Very Blue Moon lyrics - Crystal Gayle
(originally by Nanci Griffith)
I found your letter in my mailbox today
You were just checking if I was okay
And if I miss you, boy you know what they say
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
No need to tell me you'd like to be friends
And help me get back on my feet again
And if I miss you, well it's just now and then
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
There's a blue moon shining
When I'm reminded of all we've been through
Such a blue moon shining
Does it ever shine down on you
You act as if it never hurt you at all
Like I'm the only one who's getting up from a fall
Don't you remember, can't you recall?
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming, feel one coming
I feel one coming on soon
More Than Love lyrics - Crystal Gayle
Love isn't enough in troubled times
Takes a whole lot of understanding and truth
Keeping heart and soul alive, making it through every day
It takes more, more, more than love
Having to slowly count to ten
Knowing you re right and still giving in
Learning how to say you re wrong, that s the hardest part of all
It takes more, more, more than love
Love keeps growing, getting stronger every day
Long after the honeymoon is over, love has to find a way
To carry on, even in the darkest hour, when you really need a friend
It takes more, more, more than love
It takes more, more, more than love
Keeping heart and soul alive, making it through every day
It takes more, more, more than love
It takes more, more, more than love
It takes more, more, more than love
It takes so much more, more, more than love
More than love, mmm
When you really need a friend
Oh, it takes more than love
Oh, it takes more than love
