You swear you've had enough
You're ready to give up
On that little lie they call love
Then out of the blue clear sky

Fallin' right into your hands
Like rain on the desert sand
It's the last thing you had planned
Out Of The Blue Clear Sky

[chorus]
Here she comes a walkin' talkin' true love
Sayin' I been lookin' for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived
Out of the blue clear sky

Ain't love a funny thing
One day you're givin' up the dream
And the next you're pickin' out a ring
Out of then blue clear sky

[chorus]

Here she comes a walkin' talkin' true love
Sayin' I been lookin' for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived
Out of the blue clear

[chorus]

Out of the blue clear sky

. . .



I don't take my whiskey to extremes
Don't believe in chasin' crazy dreams
My feet are planted firmly on the ground
But darlin' when you come around

[chorus]
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on
Baby I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away

It might seem like an ordinary night
Same ol' stars same ol' moon up high
But when I see you standin' at your door
Nothin's ordinary anymore

[chorus]

[chorus]

Carried away

. . .



The first time I saw you
You were waitin' tables at the corner diner
I said to myself
Never seen a woman look any finer

From that moment on
I was stone cold gone
You wuld be forever in my mind

Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holdin' on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight

It was San Francisco
Silly sutis and white ties by the bay
You appeared with your papa
Tears were rolin' down your mother's face

Everyone was happy
Showered by well wishers as we drove away

Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holdin' on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight

I'm living but dying
I'm laughing but crying
Somebody tell me it will be alright

I bought it for your birthday
God you looked so lovely in that dress
I took you to a party
Or was it to a night club I forget

Been twenty years and counting
I'm drowning in your love a little more each day

Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holdin' on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight

Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holdin' on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight

. . .



She knows she's holdin' someone who don't love her
She knows she's where you could have been
She knows I turn to her because you turned me down
And she knows when you're on my mind again

Every night she opens up the door to heaven
But when you're on my mind I can't go in
And you come runnin' through my mind and I let my memory chase you
She knows when you're on my mind again

Sometimes late at night I hear her crying
She turns to me but you won't let her in
She knows the door is locked but she keeps trying
She knows when you're on my mind again

Every night she opens up the door to heaven
But when you're on my mind I can't go in
And you come runnin' through my mind and I let my memory chase you
She knows when you're on my mind again

. . .



I've traveled through lots of places
Seen lots of folks and lots of faces
Even settled down a time or two
I've worked the farms I've been to town
Guess you could say I've been around
But I ain't never seen no one like you

[chorus]
I can tell by your smile you don't believe a word I say
You're thinkin' I'll just stay a while then be on my way
But girl I think it's fair to warn ya I've done been
to California
I ain't never seen no one like you

I knew a girl in Mississippi
Had twenty different ways to kiss me
Never found a thing she couldn't do
Hey I even knew some twins in Denver
Stayed with them one cold December
I ain't never seen no one like you

[chorus]

East to west north to south
You're the very best girl there ain't no doubt
I'm tellin' you you're really somethin'
The way you got my heart a jumpin'
I ain't never seen no one like you

[chorus]

Hey girl I think it's fair to warn ya I've done been
to California
But I ain't never seen no one like you

Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
She wondered what was wrong this time
She never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like him, it could be anything
And she always expected the worst
In the back of her mind

He said, it's cold out here and I'm all alone
I didn't make the short go, again and I'm coming home
I know I've been away too long
I never got a chance to write or call
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
But I'll be home soon
And honey is there somethin' wrong

She said, don't bother comin' home
By time you get here I'll be long gone
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man
He said, I'm sorry it's come down to this
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss
But it's alright baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
Gotta go now baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne

He left that phone danglin' off the hook
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
Then he just walked away
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line
With a little luck he could still get there in time
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say

She said, don't bother comin' home
By time you get here I'll be long gone
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man
He said, I'm sorry it's come down to this
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss
But it's alright baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
Gotta go now baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne

She never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like him, it could be anything
And she always expected the worst
In the back of her mind

. . .



I gave her that diamond she dreamed of
And I bought her a home with a view
I took her to the end of the rainbow
But all I left her was blue

Seems like I never had time to love her
And now it seems time just stands still
I thought I was king of the mountain
But I was only a fool on the hill

Now I'm here alone after leavin' her lonely
Lord I'm livin' with a memory
I know I can't kill
I thought I was king of the mountain
But I was only a fool on the hill

Now I'm here alone after leavin' her lonely
Lord I'm livin' with a memory
I know I can't kill
I thought I was king of the mountain
But I was only a fool on the hill

I thought I was king of the mountain
But I was only a fool on the hill

. . .



Once you told me you were gonna love me
That it was meant to be and there's no other way
Then came someone showed you more fun
We've had a good run better think it over

Do the right thing baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing

He's got a good line, shows you a good time
Did he change your mind guess it's your move
I'll lose my pride I'd even step aside
Honey you really must decide who's best for you

Do the right thing baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing

Do the right thing baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing

You might chose me or chose to lose me
Someday you'll see the good thing you had

Do the right thing baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing

Do the right thing baby do the right thing
Go with your heart and do the right thing

Go with your heart and do the right thing

. . .



You say you want to talk it over
Want to try again
But there's no way of workin' out
This love that we're not in

We could talk and talk and accomplish nothin'
We've tried it all before
It's time somebody did some walkin'
And I can see the door

So I'd just as soon go
I'd just as soon say goodbye
There's no reason to prolong
What we should just let die

And I'd just as soon stop
I'd just as soon end the madness
Knowin' what I know
I'd just as soon go

It's not an easy thing to do
Leavin' seldom ever is
But stayin' just to see us through
Just ain't no way to live

It's hard for you to understand
But we're better off this way
I can't fake it one more night
Or take it one more day

So I'd just as soon go
I'd just as soon say goodbye
There's no reason to prolong
What we should just let die

And I'd just as soon stop
I'd just as soon end the madness
Knowin' what I know
I'd just as soon go

Knowin' what I know
I'd just as soon go

. . .



You're the only one and only
My heart's beatin' for
I love you, need I say more
Now and ever, we'll be together
Of that you can be sure
I love you, need I say more

I don't know just what it is
That you're needing to hear me say
The way that I'm feeling
Is more than mere words can describe
And all this discussion could never
Do justice to something so heavenly-made
I'd rather tell you
With touches how I feel inside

Let me hold you, let me show you
What true love's all about
In these arms of mine I know you will find
You won't do without anymore
I'll love you forever, need I say more

I don't know just what it is
That you're needing to hear me say
The way that I'm feeling
Is more than mere words can describe
And all this discussion could never
Do justice to something so heavenly-made
I'd rather tell you
With touches how I feel inside

Let me hold you, let me show you
What true love's all about
In these arms of mine I know you will find
You won't do without anymore
I'll love you forever need I say more

I'll love you forever, need I say more
