Dottie West Album

You're the other half of me you're the eyes through which I see
All alone I'm only half a girl that with you I can be you're the other half of me

Things I begin they always end half started things I say always sound half parted
I'm as helpless as a babybird above that's fallen from a tree
You're the other half of me
You're the other half...
You're the other half of me

If I could see you just one time oh how it'd ease my troubled mind
If I could just hold you one more time and then pretend that you're still mine
Lips that used to thrill me so they now thrill someone else I know
Gone is the love that once was mine wish I could see you just one time
Oh oh oh how I miss you so oh I need you so
I I I'd give this heart of mine if I could see you just one time
[ guitar + steel ]
Wish I could relive just one time turn back the pages and there I'd find
That same old love that once was mine wish I could see you just one time
Oh oh oh how I miss you so...
Oh oh oh how I miss you so..

Bluer than all the skies above sadder than the weeping willow tree
That's the way I am without your love I never thought you'd run away from me
Deeper than the ocean and the sea sweeter than berries on the vine
This was the love you took from me it hurts me so to see that I was blind
Others I've known I can't recall their names
Oh but your love was different it was more than just a game
Softer than velvet to my touch smoother than satin cloth so fine
And I love your memory oh so much and rejoice to think once you were mine
And rejoice to think once you were mine

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilles the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself then you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

Well every time I look into the Holy Book I wanna tremble
When I read about the part where the carpenter cleared the temple
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellers than what I profess to be
And it causes me to shame to know I'm not the girl that I should be
Put your hand in the hand...

Oh mama taught me how to pray before I ever reached the age of seven
And when I'm down on my knees well that's when I'm closest to heaven
Papa lived his life two kids and wife you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to get me through
Everybody put your hand in the hand...

Busted flat in Baton Rouge waitin' for the trains feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained took us all the way to New Orleans
I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playing sad while Bobby sang the blues
Windshield whipers slapping time holding Bobby's hand in mine
We sang up ever song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared all the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather Lord through everything we done
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let him slip away
He's a looking for a home I hope he'll find
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
A holding Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word...
Mhmm mhmm mhm my Bobby McGee
Mhmm mhmm mhm me and Bobby McGee

Wish I could stop these tears I wish I didn't care wish I didn't love you anymore
Wish I could be set free from all your memories wish I didn't love you anymore
But if wishing really made it so I'd have the different wish I know
I'd wish you still love me just like you did before
But that wish can't come true so all that I can do is wish I didn't love you anymore
Wish I could just forget that we had ever met wish I didn't love you anymore
How I wish I didn't love you anymore

Sweet dreams babby sweet dreams baby sweet dreams baby how long must I dream
Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams the whole day through
Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams a nighttime too
I love you and I'm dreamin' of you but that won't do
Dream baby you can stop my dreamin' you can make my dreams come true
Sweet dreams babby sweet dreams baby sweet dreams baby how long must I dream
Dream baby got me dreamin'...
