As I hold you close tonight
Hear what I say
There's no doubt
It's love alright
'Cause I've never felt this way.

An angel's what you are
And now I see
You're not just someone else
You're something special to me.

Chorus:
Ev'ry man has a dream
And you made mine come true.
How it happened
I don't know or care.
I'm just happy I found you.
Wrapped in the arms of love
Is where I'll be
For all the world to see
You're something special to me.

Repeat Chorus:

. . .



I'm seeing you for the last time.
You've been untrue for the last time.
I know that you've been usin' me for a past time.
It's the last time the first time for me.

I found you and that love for the first time.
When I caught you cheatin' me it was my worst time.

I'm seein' you for the last time.
I've been a fool for the last time.
You only strung along with me for a past time.
It's the last time the first time for me.

I found you and that love for the first time.
When I caught you cheatin' me it was my worst time.

I'm seein' you for the last time.
I've been a fool for the last time.
You only strung along with me for a past time.
It's the last time the first time,
The first time it's the last time,

. . .



Haven't you heard
Haven't you heard
Daddy's gone crazy
Haven't you heard momma is gone
Here I stand with my finger on his door bell
My mind goes back to what I did last night,

You see I finally talked his wife into leaving him
And I am just here to convince my conscious that its all alright
And I can see my old friend just sitting there staring at his little boy
Crying words are welded in my mind,

Haven't you heard
Daddy's gone crazy
Haven't you heard momma is gone

And either way I'm a loser
And I've been crying all night long
Mr. haven't you heard
Daddy's gone crazy
Haven't you heard momma is gone
And either way I'm a loser
And I've been crying all night long

. . .



Ain't love a strain
Ain't it a pain in your heart
Ain't worth the trouble anyhow
I'd like to give it up
I've had enough and I've done my part
But I'm in too deep to pull out now

Good things we've had are going bad
And I don't know why
I'd turn it around if I knew how
I'm pushing aside all of my pride and it's worth a try
Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now

CHORUS
We need to get our love back on its feet again
We've come to far to let it come to an end

What can I do
I'm in to you up over my heart
And I've tried all that I know how
Doing all I can
I can't stand to see us fall apart
And I'm in too deep to pull out now

CHORUS

I can't step aside and let you
Slide right out of my life
It will cause more hurt than the law will allow
I'll get us back on the track
And it will be all right
Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now


. . .



I've never once in my life met someone like you
I don't know what the word blue means
As long as I'm with you
You fill me so completely through everything you do
Blue is not a word at all
As long as I'm with you

Most of the time in my past
Blue is all I knew
But now that we're together
O' how I love you
I'm so glad I've found you
You've made my dreams come true
Blue is not a word at all
As long as I'm with you

Most of the time in my past
Blue is all I knew
But now that we're together
O' how I love you
I'm so glad I've found you
You've made my dreams come true
Blue is not a word at all

. . .



Oh, I recall some barroom brawls
that I got myself into
just a stitch or two
got me back together
but what it takes
to ease the ache
that came with losing you
I thought I was tough
but goodbye is too much
this healing is taking forever

Chorus:
Woman you sure got
this old redneck feeling blue
What's going on inside me
I ain't used to going through
This ol' country boys
hillbilly heart is breaking in two
Yea, you sure got this
old redneck feeling blue

I've never seen anything
hit me quite like this
You know the pain and loneliness
it keeps hanging with me
Oh, this good time Joe
he took quite a blow
Oh, why'd you call it quits
it'll take some time
to mend my mind
and put me out of my misery

Chorus:
Woman, you sure left this

. . .



Well, excuse me, but I think you've got my chair.
No, that one's not taken, I don't mind
If you sit here, I'll be glad to share.
Yeah, it's usually packed here on Friday nights.
Oh, if you don't mind, could I talk you out of a light.

Well, thank you, could I drink you a buy?
Oh, listen to me, what I mean is can I buy you a drink?
Anything you please.
Oh, you're welcome, well, I don't think I caught your name.
Are you waiting for someone to meet you here?
Well, that makes two of us glad you came.

No, I don't know the name of the band, but they're good.
Aren't they, would you like to dance?
Yeah, I like this song too, it reminds me of you and me.
Well, baby do you think there's a chance
That later on I could drive you home?
No, I don't mind at all.

Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth
That wasn't my chair after all.
Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth

. . .



It's dance time in Texas and were striking up the band
Let's go honky tonkin' honey take my hand
It's dance time in Texas where the wine and music flows
We'll do that Texas two step and that old cotton eyed Joe
I'll take you honky tonkin' in my old pick up truck
It's dance time in Texas and the music lifts you up
It's dance time in Texas and were striking up the band
We'll go honky tonkin' honey take my hand
It's dance time in Texas where the wine and music flows
We'll do that Texas two step and that old cotton eyed Joe
Now it's time for a slow dance and we're waltzing oh so close
It's dance time in Texas and your the one I love the most
It's dance time in Texas and were striking up the band
We'll go honky tonkin' honey take my hand
It's dance time in Texas where the wine and music flows

. . .



A jukebox introduced us when the 60's was still young,
if you got the money
honey got my nickels one by one,
I tried to imitate that song, it's not right but Lefty's gone,
And always late breaks my heart and every song he sang I played the part,
I heard he was sad and lived alone,
It's not right but Lefty's gone,
He played the fair in Dallas one year
in the cold October rain,
Some folks stayed home in one
but he sang just the same,
I caught a chill before I got home,
It's not right but Lefty's gone,
I heard he was sad and lived alone,
It's not right but Lefty's gone,
It don't seem like he was around that long,

. . .



It's four AM and you're just getting in
Your first night out
I won't ask where you've been
You're so ashamed
and your eyes can't meet mine
I've seen that look
on me a thousand times.

Chorus:
What makes us do
the things we do
heaven only knows
We think we've got a secret
but it always shows
I taught you how to cheat
you're doing fine.
I've seen that look
on me a thousand times

But I still love you
and so I pretend
And hope I never see
that look again.
But if I do I know
the fault is mine.
I've seen that look
on me a thousand times.

Repeat Chorus:

I've seen that look
