Like Red on a Rose lyrics

I have felt it and I have held it
I have known a woman's love
I have tasted and I have wasted
A woman's love.

And I know
I'll never understanda
All the little things
That make it grand
A woman's love.

And I know
I'll never come face to face
With any thing
That takes the place
Of a woman's love.

Well, I have kissed it
Tried to resist it
I have missed it
A woman's love.

And I have hated

I've been riding these blue highways
Another night has made me stop
A weary bone can go no farther
And here's where they'll drop.

In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
And release me to my journey
As another day grows live.

I've got so many miles to go
And promises to keep
Right now all I wanna do
Is being anywhere on earth you are.

I've always been a gypsy

A big moon is risin'
So bright in the sky
But it won't shine brighter
Than the stars in your eyes.

It rises above me
So bright and so blue
And I won't see anyone
As lovely as you.

Take me into the night
Pass these lonely dreams
in my heart
I love you
More than I can show you
More than I can know in my heart.

So lay down beside me
And hold me tonight
For your love has found me

I'm lost in the night
The icy wind is howling out your name
And desolation wanes
Like a fog
The fires rolling in
In the wind.

I'm out in the rain
The moon is gone behind the clouds again
And I can't stand to live
Another day
'Cause my bluebird went away.

And I'm locked in this room
With my song
No escape
No way to get away.

And my only connection
with tomorrow
Is hopin' that you might decide

Ask me any kind of question
Anything you want to know
Tell you all about my lovers
Heartaches and laughter from a long time ago.

Ask me if I'm finally happy
I've never really been before
Ever since you happened to me
I've told all my secrets
I don't have anymore.

Chorus:
Ask me now and I won't tell a lie
Ask me how I've been feeling inside
But when somebody loves you and you know that it's true

Girl, you're my sunshine
Chase away the raindrops
Make it all worthwhile
Make all the pain stop.

Just like a river
Keep love flowin'
Don't let our world stop
Keep it goin'.

I love you just the way you are
Honey, don't change on who you are
Don't change on me
Don't you change on me.

Girl, you're my lucky star
Honey, don't change on who you are
Don't change on me
Don't you change on me.

You called it quits and hung up the phone
Now go love the one you choose
And my friends say I should be happy
If I'm happy this is a good imitation of the blues.

You've threatened to leave one too many times
I'm getting out a travelling shoe
And now that you are gone I'm gonna be walking home
With this good imitation of the blues.

My friends all say you're no good without me

The girls wouldn't look anything like they do
Can't imagine my life without dresses and shoes
I'd never take in a sunset from the front porch swing
Or make any sense of the plesure love brings
I'd been alone for sure, had it not been for you.

I wouldn't for you're arms when my dreams don't come true
Never sit holding hands on a crowded church pew

(Robert Lee Castleman - Melanie Castleman)
Arista Single 2

Nobody said that it would be easy
To take away my walking shoes
'Cause Honey I found I can't settle down
At the end of my road there's another town
Where the people want to hear
A man who sings the blues.

Nobody said that it would be easy
To stay at home alone
But Honey, I found I can't settle down
At the end of my road there's another town
And I got to keep on moving
I got to keep rolling on.

I used to run in a young man's boots
With a young man's heart
and a young man's roots
But now I stand where
A young man stood before
I don't run like I used to
This ol' man don't run no more.

You used to talk and I used to not
I don't listen but I hear a lot
Don't believe for a second that
My key won't fit your door
I don't want you like I used to
This ol' man wants you no more.

Chorus:

Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're goin' far away again?
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights without your love.

Doin' the road
Get the music done, and move along.
What good does it do
To play your songs for her and hear her say.

Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're goin' far away again?
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights without your love.

You're rollin' along

Well, I came from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
I'm goin' to Louisiana
My true love for to see.

It had rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
The son so hot I froze to death
Susanna, don't you cry.

I got a long way to go
I sure feel it now
Deep down in these dusty clothes
Through another town
Backed up with capricious souls
I got a long way to go.

I got a lot left to say
