Dottie West Album

No sign of living no sign of the dead there's someone existing in this house instead
No flowers are blooming no children to cry no fire is burning no tears fill the eyes
There's someone existing from twilight till dawn
There's someone who's missing someone all day long
Well which someone who's giving up all hope and faith
There's no sign of living in my house today
There's no sign of living in my house today

I'm sorry but you come to the wrong house but I know who those flowers are for
The flowers that you have are for someone who's happy and happiness lives next door
Someone sends her flowers each evening and her young heart is flooded with joy
So don't keep her waiting deliver her flowers to happiness who lives next door
The only one who would send flowers to me is gone to return no more
But there's some consolation to know someone is happy and happiness lives next door
The only one who would send...

You live it up turn me down now it's gonna be the other way around
I can turn you every way but loose
You take me in then turn me out now we're gonna take it and turn about
I can turn you every way but loose
I can turn you every way but loose for I can never ever let you go
Can't stand to see you with someone else while I still love you love you so
Don't ask me to let you go for honey I just want you to know
I can turn you every way but loose
[ guitar ]
I can turn you every way...

You tell me you love her with all of your heart
And there's no room left there for me
But someday if she'll hurt you and your whole world falls apart
I'll take a left over corner of your heart
Just a left over corner of a heart not much as true
But it just goes to show how much I want you
For I'd give my heart full of true love for tiny little start
In that left over corner of your heart
[ strings ]
Just a left over corner...

You make my eyes run over all the time you're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me but you won't let me be don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me have on in such a long long while
Still I keep coming back how can this be don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
You must think I look bad...

I'll get over you before too long just wait and see
And I won't need you any more than you'll need me
You just can't be that important my life can't be over yet
For I know it just takes practice to forget
They say practice makes perfect so I'll just practice every day
My hurt is big but not so big that I can't make it go away
Someday I'll stop remembering although I haven't yet
For I know it just takes practice to forget
[ strings ]
They say practice makes...

You're the only world I know you're the one I can't let go
You're my laughter and my tears and I love you all my years
You're the beating of my heart you're my thoughts while we're apart
You're the one I can't let go you're the only only world I know
[ piano ]
You're my nighttime and my day you're my one love all the way
You're the one I can't let go you're the only only world I know

Once again you've got me cryin' I'm a fool if I let this go on
You can hurt me without even tryin' think I'll pick up my heart and go home
I can see the first signs of autumn all at once all the flowers are gone
Suddenly I feel so forgotten think I'll pick up my heart and go home
Someplace where you'll never find me
A place where I can leave your mem'ries all behind me
Once again you've got me cryin' oh I'm a fool if I let this go on
Yes you can hurt me without even tryin' think I'll pick up my heart and go home
Think I'll pick up my heart and go home

You said our love was not the same and that I was all to blame
You took the easy way out
And though I loved you heart and soul that's not the story that you told
You took the easy way out

You came home while I was gone packed your things and moved along
You took the easy way out
Left me alone to explain to our friends and bear the shame
While you took the easy way out
You came home while I was gone...

Your world was so different from mine don't you see
We just couldn't be close though we tried
We both reached for heavens but ours weren't the same
That's what happens when two worlds collide
Your world was made up of things sweet and good
And my world could never fit in I wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried
That's what happenes when two worlds collide
[ guitar ]
Your world was made up...

Maybe I should give your ring back we were closer when our hearts were free
Gettin' married has made us strangers we're not the lovers we used to be
We don't talk now like we used to I don't know you and it breaks my heart
Gettin' married has made us strangers the more I see you the more we drift apart
Are you too used to me am I too used to you
Is it too late to save the tender love we knew
Kiss me darling like you used to let's be lovers like we were before
Gettin' married has made us strangers oh won't you say we'll be strangers no more
[ strings ]
Gettin' married has made us strangers oh won't you say we'll be strangers no more

If I can stay away long enough maybe I'll forget you
If I can stay away long enough I'll lose my love for you
If I can get you out of my mind another love I'll try to find
Then live my life of happiness till the end of time
If I can stay away long enough maybe you'll forget me
I can stay away long enough if you'll just let me be
Cause I know our love affair could never last
So I'll just stay away and let it all be in the past
For I know our love affair...
