There Stands The Glass

There stands the glass that will ease all my pain
That will settle my brain it's my first one today
There stands the glass that will hide all my fears
That will drown all my tear brother I'm on my way
I'm wondering where you are tonight I'm wondering if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me in my misery
There stands the glass fill it up to the brim
Until my troubles grow dim it's my first one today
[ guitar - piano ]
I'm wondering where you are tonight...

There You Are

It might be in the middle of the afternoon
Maybe somewhere in the middle of the night
I might not be thinking anything at all
When a perfect stranger's face catches a certain light

And my heart jumps 'cause all at once
There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, as lovely as you'll always be
And here I go back into those memories
Where you are still in love with me

I know I'll never hold you in my arms again
I know I'll never hear you speak my name
I look around this lonely room and I can see
Your memory's the only thing that hasn't changed

And I close my eyes and every time
There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, as lovely as you'll always be
And here I go back into those memories
Where you are still in love with me

There you are still in love with me

There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight

I'll pretend I'm free from sorrow and I make believe that wrong is right
Your wedding day will be tomorrow but there ain't gonna be no teardrops tonight
And I'll believe that you still love me when you wear your veil of white
But if you think that you're above me there ain't gonna be no teardrops tonight
Why oh why should you desert me are you doing this for spite
And if you only wanna hurt me there ain't gonna be no teardrops tonight
[ guitar ]
Shame oh shame for what you're doing are you doing this for spite
You don't care whose life you ruin but there ain't gonna be no teardrops tonight
And there'll be no teardrops tonight

These Lonely Nights

Lonely nights I cannot sleep I just lie awake and weep
Wondering if I'll get a chance to make things right
Don't you heave a heart at all
Can you see my teardrops fall
They are tears I shed for you these lonely nights

Won't you reconsider this
You're the one dear, that I miss
Won't you come back here and say you'll be mine

We could be so happy then
I would love you till no end
There would be no broken hearts no lonely nights

They All Went To Mexico

Where's my pal where's my friend all good things must have an end
Sad things and nothing's on and on they go I guess he went to Mexico
They all went to Mexico buenas dias got to go
Tengo que obedecer mi corazon they all went to Mexico
[ guitar ]
Where's my mule and where's my dray straw hat's packed up and gone away
The mule don't go north and dray go slow they both went to Mexico
Where's my sweetie where's the face that lit dark corners every place
She put up with me long time you know and then she had to go to Mexico
They all went to Mexico...
[ accordion ]
Where's my brown dog where's my hound he liked my truck he hung around
But he's a canine Romeo and I guess he went to Mexico
Where's that woman so sweet so mean her heart was cautious her mind was keen
She was always looking for the peccadillo I hope she went to Mexico
They all went to Mexico...
[ guitar ]
Where's December's happy crew with German bikes and sidecars too
They take the truck south to St Louis MO motorcycle all the way to Mexico
Where's my luck and where's my grace has it all been just a foolish chase
Every time I hear that rainy chill wind blow I think it might be time to head to Mexico
They all went to Mexico...
They all went to Mexico...
[ guitar ]

Things I Might Have Been

I might have been a helpless soul
With nothing much in store
I might have been without a goal
Just dreams and nothing more
I might have known my life alone
But that's where you came in
Your loving arms have saved me from
The things I might have been

I might have been the kind who roams
A stranger everywhere
Just one of those poor stay-at-homes
With no one's lips to share
But your sweet kiss has changed all this
And made my life begin
So keep loving me don't let me be
The things I might have been
The things I might have been

Things To Remember

I've cried so much lately
That I've made out of list
The things to remember
Things to forget

But my mind can't separate
Joy from regret
I always remember the things
To forget

Things to remember
With the day that we met
The day that we parted
Things to forget

Well, why won't my heart
Let me do it this way?
With just things to remember
Today

Things to remember
Plans that were set
Plans didn't work out
Things to forget

Well, why won't my heart
Let me do it this way?
With just things to remember
Today

This Cold War With You

The sun goes down it leaves me sad and blue
The iron curtain falls on this cold war with you
Through you won't speak and I won't speak that's true
Two stubborn people with a cold war to go through
Why oh why should love ever come to couples like you and me
Whose cold cold wars are never won and whose hearts just can't be free
Oh let's do right or let's just say we're through
I just can't stand another cold cold war with you
[ guitar - steel ]
Why oh why should love ever come...
I just can't stand another cold cold war with you

This Old House

This old house once knew his children
This old house once knew his wife
This old house was home and comfort
As they fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now he trembles in the darkness
When the lightning walks about
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
He's a-getting ready to meet the saints
This old house is a-getting shaky
This old house is a-getting old
This old house lets in the rain
This old house lets in the cold
On his knees I'm getting chilly
But he feel no fear nor pain
'Cause he see an angel peeking
Through a broken windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
He's a-getting ready to meet the saints
This old house is afraid of thunder
This old house is afraid of storms
This old house just groans and trembles
When the night wind flings its arms
This old house is getting feeble
This old house is needing paint
Just like him it's tuckered out
But he's a-getting ready to meet the saints
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
He's a-getting ready to meet the saints
This old house dog lies a-sleeping
He don't know I'm gonna leave
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace
And he'd sit there and howl and grieve
But my hunting days are over
Ain't gonna hunt the coon no more
Gabriel done brought in my chariot
When the wind blew down the door
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer

Three Days

Three days that I dread to see arrive
Three days that I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today and tomorrow

There are three days I know that I'll be blue
Three days that I'll always dream of you
And it does no good to wish these days would end
'Cause the same three days start over again

Three days that I dread be alive
Three days that I hate to see arrive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today and tomorrow

There are three days I know that I'll be blue
Three days that I'll always dream of you
And it does no good to wish these days would end
'Cause the same three days start over again

Three days that I dread to see arrive
Three days that I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today and tomorrow

Three days
Three days
