"When I Dream" (1978)

Why Have You Left The One You Left Me For lyrics - Crystal Gayle

Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?

Is she what'
You wanted?
Or has time'
Changed your mind?
Has your dream'
Love gone crazy?
And what brings'
You here tonight?

Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?

I can see'
You're hurting.
But I'm not sure'
If it's real!
How can I'
Really hold you?
When I don't'
When I don't know how you feel?

Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?

Okay, come on in!
You be my lover!
I'll be your friend!
You don't have to tell me, and I won't ask again!

Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?

Why have you left the one you left me for?
Has she heard, like me, that slammin' door?
Did you leave for good or just get bored?
Why have you left the one you left me for?

Why have you left the one you left me for?

Why have you left the one you left me for?

Hello I Love You lyrics - Crystal Gayle

You take the darkness out of my night
You've shown your sweet love on me so bright
I won't be lonely, you fill my heart
My blue days have gone forever
Now we'll never part
Hello, I love you
Hello, again
You are my sunshine, shine on again
This is the moment, my life one bored/was
Won't you lay with me darling forever?
Stay and keep me warm until the morning light shines
Hello, I love you
Hello, again
You are my sunshine, shine on again

Talking In Your Sleep lyrics - Crystal Gayle

Three o'clock in the morning
And it looks like it's going to be another sleepless night
I've been listening to your dreams and getting very low
Wondering what I can do

Maybe I'm being foolish
'Cause I haven't heard you mention anybody's name at all
How I wish I could be sure it's me that turns you on
Each time you close your eyes
I've heard it said that dreamers never lie

You've been talking in your sleep
Sleeping in your dreams
With some sweet lover
Holding on so tight
Loving her the way
You used to love me
Talking in your sleep with loving on your mind

Maybe I'm being foolish
'Cause I haven't heard you mention anybody's name at all
How I wish I could be sure it's me that turns you on
Each time you close your eyes
I've heard it said that dreamers never lie

You've been talking in your sleep
Sleeping in your dreams
With some sweet lover
Holding on so tight
Loving her the way
You used to love me
Talking in your sleep with loving on your mind

You've been talking in your sleep

When I Dream lyrics - Crystal Gayle

I could have a mansion that is higher than the trees
I could have all the gifts I want and never ask please
I could fly to Paris, oh, it's at my beck and call
Why do I go through life with nothing at all?

But when I dream, I dream of you
Maybe someday you will come true

I can be the singer or the clown in every room
I can even call someone to take me to the moon
I can put my makeup on and drive the men insane
I can go to bed alone and never know his name

But when I dream, I dream of you
Maybe someday you will come true

But when I dream, I dream of you
Maybe someday you will come true

Cry Me A River lyrics - Crystal Gayle

Now you say you're lonely, you cry the whole night through;
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.

Now you say you're sorry for being so untrue;
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.

You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head;
While you never shed a tear;
Remember? I remember all that you said -
Told me love was too plebian,
Told me you were through with me, and,

Now you say you love me; well, just to prove it's true,
You can cry me a river, cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.

Cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you.

Wayward Wind lyrics - Crystal Gayle

In a lonely shack by a railroad track
He spent his younger days
But I guess the sound of the outward bound
Made him a slave to his wand'ring ways

Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

Oh I met him there in a border town
We vowed we'd never part
Tho' he tried his best to settle down
Now I'm alone with a broken heart

Though the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
The next of kin to the wayward wind

Someday Soon lyrics - Crystal Gayle

There's a young man that I know whose age is twenty-one
Comes from down in southern Colorado
Just out of the service, he's lookin' for his fun
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon

My parents can not stand him 'cause he rides the rodeo
My father says that he will leave me cryin'
I would follow him right down the roughest road I know
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon

But when he comes to call, my pa ain't got a good word to say
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in his younger days

So blow, you old Blue Northern, blow my love to me
He's ridin' in tonight from California
He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon

When he comes to call, my pa ain't got a word to say
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in his younger days

So blow, you old blue northern, blow my love to me
He's ridin' in tonight from California
He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
Someday soon, goin' with him

I Still Miss Someone lyrics - Crystal Gayle

At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I'd still miss someone

Oh, I never got over those blues eyes
I see them everywhere
How I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there

I go out on a party
And look for a little fun
But I find a darkened corner
And I still miss someone

Oh, I never got over those blues eyes
I see them everywhere
How I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there

I wonder if he's sorry
For leavin' what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone

Oh, I never got over those blues eyes
I see them everywhere
How I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there

"We Must Believe In Magic" (1977)

Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue lyrics - Crystal Gayle

Don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry all night long
Say it isn't true
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibis
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye

I didn't mean to treat you bad
Didn't know just what I had
But, honey, now I do
And don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

I Wanna Come Back To You lyrics - Crystal Gayle

I've known a better love for a long long time,
Everybody's, but mine.
It took a little while to see
Just how I wanted love to be.

Now I wanna come back to you,
Do you wanna come back to me?
Share the love that used to be a mystery.
I wanna come back to you,
Do you wanna come back to me?
Remember how good it used to be?

I looked back and I wonder why
We were both so careless with goodbye.
Should have known,
Now later on down the line,
We were bound to change our mind.

Now I wanna come back to you,
Do you wanna come back to me?
Share the love that used to be a mystery.
I wanna come back to you,
Do you wanna come back to me?
Remember how good it used to be?

Now I wanna come back to you,
Do you wanna come back to me?
Share the love that used to be a mystery.
I wanna come back to you,
Do you wanna come back to me?
Remember how good it used to be?

River Road lyrics - Crystal Gayle

Here I go once again
With my suitcase in my hand
And I'm running away down River Road
And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home
Yes, I'm chasing my dreams down River Road

Mama said, listen child
You're too old to run wild
You're too big to be fishin' with the boys these days

So I grabbed some clothes and I ran
Stole five dollars from a sugar can
A twelve year old jail breaker runnin' away

Here I go once again
With my suitcase in my hand
And I'm running away down River Road
And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home
I'm chasing my dreams down River Road

Well, I married a pretty good man
And he tries to understand
But he knows I've got leavin' on my mind these days

When I get that urge to roam
I'm just like a kid again
The same old jail breaker runnin' away

Here I go once again
With my suitcase in my hand
And I'm running away down River Road
And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home
I'm chasing my dreams down River Road

It's All Right With Me lyrics - Crystal Gayle

It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face
It's not her face, but such a charming face
That it's all right with me

It's the wrong song in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile, but such a lovely smile
So it's all right with me

You can't know how happy I am that we've met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone, too?

It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips, but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
Dear, it's all right
Yes, it's all right with me

Green Door lyrics - Crystal Gayle

Midnight
One more night without sleepin' -
Watchin'
Till the morning comes creepin'.
Green door
What's that secret you're keepin'?
There's an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door
Don't know what they're doin'
But they laugh a lot behind the green door.
Wish they'd let me in
So I could find out what's behind the green door.
Knocked once
Tried to tell 'em I'd been there

Door slammed
Hospitality's thin there.
Wonder just what's goin' on in there.
Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey cloud
Behind the green door

When I said
Joe sent me

Someone laughed out loud behind the green door.
All I want to do is join the happy crew behind the green door.
Midnight
One more night without sleepin'...
Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey cloud...
Wish they'd let me in
So I could find out what's behind the green door.
