Dean Martin Album

Hands that are strong, but wrinkled
Doin' work that never gets done
Hair that's lost some of the beauty
By too many hours in the sun

Eyes that show some disappointment
And there's been quite a lot in her life
She's the foundation I lean on
My woman, my woman, my wife

Everyday has been uphill
Oh, we've climbed, but we can't reach the top
I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged
She just smiles when I want to stop

Lips that are weary but tender
With love that strengthens my life
A Saint in a dress made of gingham
My woman, my woman, my wife

Two little babies were born in the Spring
But died when the Winter was new
I lost control of my mind and my soul
But my woman's faith carried us through

When she reaches that river
Lord, you know what she's worth
Give her that mansion up yonder
'Cause she's been through hell here on Earth

Lord, give her my share of Heaven
If I've earned any here in this life
'Cause, God, I believe she deserves it
My woman, my woman, my wife

When you found somebody new, I thought I never would
Forget you, for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pain away
Until now, I'm down to hurtin' once a day

Once a day, all day long
And once a night, from dusk 'til dawn
The only time, I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, everyday, all day long

I'm so glad that I'm not like a friend I knew one time
He lost the one he loved, then slowly lost his mind
He sat around and cried his life away
Lucky me, I'm only crying once a day

Once a day, all day long
And once a night, from dusk 'til dawn
The only time, I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, every day, all day long

The only time, I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, everyday, all day long

Here we go again she's back in town again
I'll take her back again one more time
Here we go again the phone will ring again
I'll be her fool again one more time

I've been there before and I'll try it again
But any fool knows that there's no way to win
Here we go again she'll break my heart again
I'll play the part again one more time

(I'll be her fool again one more time)

(I've been there before and I'll try it again)
But any fool knows that there's no way to win
Here we go again she'll break my heart again
I'll play the part again one more time

I'll be her fool again one more time...

Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away
Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took me astray
If you do then forgive me
And make the world go away
Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away
I'm sorry if I hurt you
I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to
And make the world go away
Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

(I held you right on the tips of my fingers)
I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
Ah, but that was as close as I came

My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
Yielding beneath my command
I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands
But I let it slip right through my hands

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
And I should have known from the start
That it's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart

I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let you slip right through my hands
But I let you slip right through my hands

I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
You know last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
And I dreamed about those cotton fields back home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother
I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
folks think I'm big in Detroit city
From the letters I write they think I'm fine
But by day I make the cars
And by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines
You know I rode a freight train north to Detroit city
After all these years I find I've just been wasting my time
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride put on a southbound train and ride
And go on back to the loved ones the ones I left there waiting so far behind
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home

Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters we're together again.

(Nothing else matters we're together again.)

Together again the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms now where you belong
The love that I knew is living again
And nothing else matters we're together again.

And nothing else matters we're together again.
(Together again...)

I love you so much that I can't leave you
Even though my mind tells me I should
Then you make me think you really love me
Then all my thoughts of leaving do no good

You've got me heart over mind worried all the time
Knowing you will always be the same
You'll keep hurtin' me I know but I just can't let you go
'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change

Now friends tell me they see you out with others
In my heart I try hard to forget
You come home and tell me you still love me
I still hope there's some chance for us yet

You've got me heart over mind worried all the time
Knowing you will always be the same
You'll keep hurtin' me I know but I just can't let you go
'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change.

'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change
'Cause my heart won't let my love for you change

Turn the world around the other way
Back it up and stop on yesterday
Back to before that silly fight
And give me a chance to make things right.

I said some things I didn't mean to
Say things that I am sorry for today
Down on my knees I beg you
Please to turn the world around the other way.

I never really wanted us to break up
And I'm sorry for each teardrop that you've cried
We need to give our hearts a chance to make up
And darling will you stand in by my side.

We'll turn the world around the other way
Back to where it started yesterday
Just take my hand, together
We can turn the world around the other way.

Turn the world around the other way
Back it up and stop on yesterday
Just take my hand, together
We can turn the world around the other way.

Yes, turn the world around the other way...

(Verse 1)
i cry myself to sleep each night
wishin' i could hold you tight
life seems so empty since you went away
the pillow where you lay your head
now holds my lonely tears instead
and it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone

(chorus)
it keeps right on a hurtin' every minute of every day
every hour you're away i feel so lonely
and i can't help it i don't think i can go on
and it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone

(verse 2)
they say a man should never cry
but when i see you passin' by
my heart breaks down and cries a million tears
you broke my heart and set me free
but you forgot your memory
and it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone
