Kenny Rogers Album

w/ Sheena Easton

I know it's late, I know you're weary 
I know your plans don't include me 
Still here we are, both of us lonely 
Longing for shelter from all that we see 
Why should we worry, no one will care 
Look at the stars so far away 
We've got tonight 
Who needs tomorrow? 
We've got tonight 
Why don't you stay? 

Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely 
All of my hopes, fading away 
I've longed for love, like everyone else does 
I know I'll keep searching, even after today 

So that there it is 
We've got it all now 
And here we are 
What do you say? 

We've got tonight 
Who needs tomorrow? 
We've got tonight 
Why don't you stay? 

I know it's late, I know you're weary 
I know your plans don't include me 
Still here we are, both of us lonely 
Both of us lonely 

We've got tonight 
Who needs tomorrow? 
Let's make it last 
Let's find a way 
Turn out the light 
Come take my hand now 
We've got tonight 
Why don't you stay? 

Just look at you sitting there
You never looked better than tonight
And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd stay
Like I've done so many times
I was so sure this would be the night
You'd close the door
And wanna stay with me
And it'd be so easy
To tell you I'd wait
Like I've done so many times

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Because he'll always take you in
Just when you think
You've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Because he'll break you every time

So put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye
Now it's morning
and the phone rings and ya say
You gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave
Before you change your mind
And you know
What I was thinking I'd turn around
If you'd just ask me one more time
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Because he'll always take you in
Just when you think
You've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Because he'll break you every time
so put out the light and just hold on

You want things your way
And I want them mine
And now we don't know
Just where to draw the line
How can love survive
If we keep changing sides
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide

You lay the blame on me
And I the blame on you
But why do we keep finding faults
In everything you do
And how long can we keep right in wrong
So cut and dry
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide

We can save our love
We still have the time
Oh, I know there must be a way
That we still haven't tried
To keep our hearts from breaking
Every time two fools collide

w/ Dottie West

I'll need time to get you off my mind 
I may sometimes bother you, try to be in touch with you 
Even ask too much of you, from time to time 
Now and then, Lord, you know I'll need a friend 
And 'till I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you,
'Til I can make it on my own 

I'll get by, but no matter how I try 
There'll be times that you'll know I'll call
Chances are my tears will fall 
And I'll have no pride at all, from time to time
But they say, oh, there'll be a brighter day
But 'til then I lean on you, that's all I mean to do, 
'Til I can make it on my own 

Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning sun 
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done 
No more hurtin' memories can find me

But 'til then, Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend
'Til I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you 

(Betty Jean Robinson)

Sometimes when I'm down and alone
I feel just like a child with out a home
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on, honey
All I ever need is you

Your my first love, your my last
Your my future, your my past
Ohhh loving you is all I ask, honey
All I ever need is you

Winters come and then they go
And we watch the melting snow
Sure summer follows spring, all the things you do
Give me a reason to build my world around you

( World around you )

Some men follow rainbows I am told
Some men search for silver, some for gold
But I found my treasures in my soul
And all I ever need is you

Without love I'd never find the way
Through ups and downs of every single day
And I won't sleep at night until you say
Honey, all I ever need is you

La, La, La, La, La, La
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on
Honey, all I'll ever need is you

La, La, La, La, La, La
But I found my treasures in my soul
Honey, and all I ever need is you

Kenny Rogers & Dottie West
(Writer Kris Kristofferson)

You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
You gave me a song I learn to sing
You showed me some beauty
Through the windows of your soul
And you showed me a world I've never seen.

Each giving to the other loving gift went it away
We spent the precious time we knew was borrowed
'Cause you gave me the courage
To live with yesterday and you gave me tomorrow.

You brought me a candle to light my way to bed
You erased those shadows I'd been seeing
You brought me a pillow to rest my weary head
You taught me a gentle way of dreaming.

And even if you leave me I'll be richer when you go
I'm richer with the loving gift you gave me
'Cause you gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
And you gave me a baby...

Baby, I'm a want you
Baby, I'm a need you
You're the only one
I care enough to hurt about.

Maybe I'm crazy
But I just can't live without
Your loving and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guidin' light
To help me through my darkest hour.

Lately I'm a prayin'
That you'll always be a stayin'
Beside me.

Used to be that life was
Just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and
Never really knowing why.

Lately I'm a prayin'
That you'll always be a stayin'
Beside me.

Then you came along
And made me laugh
And made me cry
You taught me why.

Baby, I'm a want you
Baby, I need you
Oh, it's so long for me to find you, girl
I'm so glad that you find me
No, no body else but you.

Oh I want you
Know that I can never find
Nobody near you
Baby I want you
I need you...

[No lyrics]

When you made love to me tonight
I felt as if I'd died and gone to heaven
And if that's how it feels to die
Then lay me in your arms, I'm through with livin'

I'll get down on my knees
And thank the good Lord up above
That I'm the lucky girl you chose to love

And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
So if you think I'm braggin' well, you're right
Your love has sent me flyin' and I'm higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone that isn't me tonight

You got the kind of body
That was made to give a man a lot of pleasure
But what you're giving me tonight
Is more than anything on earth can measure

Every inch of you that's woman
Makes me that much more a man
I've just about enjoyed all I can stand

I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
So if you think I'm braggin' well, you're right
Your love has sent me flyin' and I'm higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight

And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
So if you think I'm braggin' well, you're right
Your love has sent me flyin' and I'm higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight

I don't wanna read the paper this morning
I don't wanna hear no busy city sounds
There's so many things that's so much more important
And they're the only things worth thinkin' 'bout.

Why don't go somewhere and love
It's been a long long time
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And lock the world outside.

Why don't we just lay down what we're doin'
We don't need a reason or a rhyme
Don't take the time to stop and think about it
If we talk too much we might just change our mind.

So why don't we go somewhere and love
And leave it all behind
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And stay a long long time.

Why don't we go somewhere and love
And leave it all behind
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And stay a long long time...

They ask me, how we do it?
And I tell them, we love each other
There's really nothing to it
It's easy, we love each other so.
And we always will, and I know,
We found it long ago and now it's sure
That it's the kind to last forever.

They ask me, can we make it?
And I tell them, we love each other
If there's trouble, can we take it?
And I tell them, we love each other.

More than we ever have before
And they should know
When they ask us, how we do it
We just tell them, we love each other so.
We love each other.

We love each other
More than we ever
And they should know
When they ask us, how we do it
We just tell them, we love each other so,
We love each other...

You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before
In your finger tips
You're tryin' hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby I know it.

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Oh, oh that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh.

Now there's no welcome look
In your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're startin' to criticize
Little things I do
It makes me just feel like cryin', baby
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dyin'.

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Oh, oh that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh.
And I can't go on, oh, oh, oh.

Baby, baby I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, a love
A love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't let it slip away.

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
'Cause it's gone and I can't go on...

[No lyrics]

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me.

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me.

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me...

I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up, and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me.

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out of my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me.

And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you, you were there
I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool, 'cause I've finally found someone
Who really cares.

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me friend.

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out of my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me...
