I CAN'T ESCAPE FROM YOU 

I tried and tried to run and hide
To find a life that's new
But where I go I always know
I can't escape from you.

A jug of wine to numb my mind
But what good does it do
The jug runs dry and still I cry
I can't escape from you.

--- Instrumental ---

These wasted things or souvineer
Of a love I thought was true
Your memory is changing me
I can't escape from you.

There is no end I can't defend
That dream will soon come true
Afraid to roam a heart of stone
I can't escape from you...

I CAN'T FIND IT HERE 

You know that I'm a humble man, Lord
And I try just as hard as I can, Lord
I search this life for joy but mostly I found grief
So leave me home for I can't find it here.

Leave me home for I can't find it here
Everything I've ever wanted always disappeared
Take my hand and with your hand dry my tear
And leave me home for I can't find it here.

For all my plans and schemes have called on me
For a simple man there's not much else for me to be
And you've done your share Lord but I'm just weak and full of fear
So leave me home for I can't find it here.

Leave me home for I can't find it here
Everything I've ever wanted always disappeared
Take my hand and with your hand dry my tear
And leave me home for I can't find it here.

Leave me home for I can't find it here...

I CAN'T GET OVER YOU 

Oh well don't let the spinning ever stop you've got me spinning like a top
Going round and round is all I do
I can't tell the day from night I don't know the wrong from right
I only know I can't get over you
I've got an angel on one shoulder the devil on the other
I'm in between oh tell me what to do
One tells me let you go the other tells me no
I only know I can't get over you
You've got me spinning like a top don't let this spinning ever stop
Just tell me that your love for me is true
My heartaches disappear when you say I love you dear
I only know I can't get over you
I've got an angel on one shoulder...
I've got an angel on one shoulder...
I only know I can't get over you

I CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE 

I'm looking for the town where sadness can't be found
Where happiness is blooming all year 'round
A place where there's no heartaches and no one crys a
tear
But they all say I can't get there from here.

Surely there's a place to rest a tortured mind
Oh, what I'd give if I could find
A place where there's no mem'ry of all those wasted years
But they all say I can't get there from here.

--- Instrumental ---

I CAN'T GET USED TO BEING LONELY 

I've got to get used to being lonely
And get used to knowin', darling, that you're gone
'Cause how can I prepare myself without you
When I can't get used to being all alone.

I got to get used to being lonely
And say this is the last day of the year
'Cause how can I look forward to tomorrow
When I can't get used to knowing I've lost you.

For things to change I must help to change them
'Cause on my own I don't have faith in me
But loneliness is all I have without you
'Cause I can't get used to being this lonely.

--- Instrumental ---

Yes, loneliness is all I have without you
'Cause I can't get used to being this lonely...

I CAN'T GO HOME 

I couldn't say just where this crazy night began
With my first drink or when that pretty girl walked in
I left my lips go wild with her sweet kiss to long
Now here I stand with so much guilt, I can't go home.

I lost my head and then the wine made all a friend
I couldn't stop and now I've got these guilty hands
But I won't touch my darling, knowing I done wrong
I can't go straight into her arms, I can't go home.

--- Instrumental ---

I lost my head and then the wine made all a friend
I couldn't stop and now I've got these guilty hands
But I won't touch my darling, knowing I done wrong
I can't go straight into her arms, I can't go home.

I can't go straight into her arms, I can't go home...

I CAN'T HELP IT 

Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.

A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.

--- Instrumental ---

It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you...

I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU 

I can't stop loving you I've made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday.

Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago still make me blue
They say that time heels a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart.

I can't stop loving you there's no use to try
Pretend there's someone new I can't live a lie
I can't stop wanting you no way that I do
There's only been one for me the one is you.

I can't stop loving you I've made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times...

I COULD NEVER BE ASHAMED OF YOU 

Everybody says you let me down
That I should be ashamed to take you 'round
Makes no difference what you used to do
Darling, I could never be ashamed of you

Maybe you were reckless yesterday
But together, we can find a brighter way
In my heart, I know that you'll come through
Darling, I could never be ashamed of you

All the happiness I've ever known
Came the day you said you'd be my own
And it matters not what we go through
Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you

Maybe you've been cheated in the past
And perhaps those memories will always last
Even though you proved to be untrue
Darlin' I could never be ashamed of you

I CRIED MYSELF AWAKE 

Last night I dreamed that you told me goodbye
And in my sleep the teardrops filled my eyes
It seemed so real I thought my heart would break
Last night I cried myself awake.

I cried myself awake and layed there tremblin'
As I reach for you my hand began to shake
And when I touched your arm early in the darkness
I knew that I had cried myself awake.

--- Instrumental ---

I know now just how empty life would be
If you should ever take your love from me
To lose you would be more than I could take
Last night I cried myself awake.

I cried myself awake and layed there tremblin'
As I reach for you my hand began to shake
And when I touched your arm early in the darkness
I knew that I had cried myself awake.

Last night I cried myself awake...
