Have You Never Been Mellow lyrics

Please Mr. Please
Olivia Newton-John
(Welch/Rostill)

In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox
With the best of country music, old and new
You can hear your five selections for a quarter
And somebody else's songs when yours are through

I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter
And my friends around to help me ease the pain

(Hammond/Hazlewood)

If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask, there's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

(Hall)

In the early morning when I'm lying by your side
Doubts go through my mind, thoughts I try to hide
Lying there I wonder if your love for me is real
Or just another fantasy

Then I try to think about the way things used to be
Misty memories, hazy like a dream
All we did together, all the things we planned to do
There was only me and you

And in the morning I touch you

(Marvin/Farrar)

Bringing it on yourself
Bringing it on yourself
All the promises you made to me
You know can never be

Shouldn't have been so nice
Shouldn't have been so nice
Oh, you should've known my love would grow
Now I just can't let go
Now I just can't let go

It's so easy to say too much
Castles in the sand that wash away
It's so easy to pledge yourself

(Denver)

It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done
To be so in love with you and so alone

Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me

It's long been on my mind
You know it's been a long long time

(Peter Allen/Jeff Barry)

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know

I love you
I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you should realize

(Jans)

If you could see me now
The one who said that she'd rather roam
The one who said she'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now
Just for a moment if I could make you mine
Just for a while turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can

(John Denver)

It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise
There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
You slowly turn away from me and tears begin to come

And it's
Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know

(Marvin/Farrar)

Bringing it on yourself
Bringing it on yourself
All the promises you made to me
You know can never be

Shouldn't have been so nice
Shouldn't have been so nice
Oh, you should've known my love would grow
Now I just can't let go
Now I just can't let go

It's so easy to say too much
Castles in the sand that wash away
It's so easy to pledge yourself

(Nichtern)

I never did sing you a love song
I only sang phrases in time
I never did write you a sonnet
I just laid my WORDS down in rhymes
Up and down the river, so many boats to ride
Yet precious few deliver the goods that we need to survive

I never spoke falsely or crossly
I never put tears in your eyes
And you never shattered my lonely heart

(Denver)

It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done
To be so in love with you and so alone

Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me

It's long been on my mind
You know it's been a long long time

Please Mr. Please

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I'm strong

(Nelson)

The river keeps on rolling
My lifestream keeps on flowing
Only you know what you're doing to my soul
My dreams call on tomorrow
My love knows all my sorrow
Only you know what you're doing to my soul

Stay with me and we'll find a way
I'll be your night if you'll be my day
Through the dawn and beyond the sky
We can fly, you and I

(Nichtern)

I never did sing you a love song

I never did write you a sonnet

Up and down the river, so many boats to ride
Yet precious few deliver the goods that we need to survive

I never spoke falsely or crossly
I never put tears in your eyes
And you never shattered my lonely heart

Yesterday the rains came down, there was darkness all around
They told me you had gone to find a new life
But you left no word of where you'd gone, I fell right to the ground
And I needed all the help I could get to set me on my feet again

Water under the bridge carried my pain away from me
He was there trying to love and comfort me

(Hammond/Hazlewood)

If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask, there's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
