Country Willie His Own Songs lyrics

They're working while I'm missing you those healing hands of time

And soon they'll be dismissing you from this heart of mine
They'll lead me safely through the night and I'll follow as though blind

My future tightly clutched within those healing hands of time

They let me close my eyes just then those healing hands of time

And soon they'll let me sleep again those healing hands of time

Hello walls, (Hello, hello.)
How'd things go for you today
Don't you miss her.
Since she up and walked away
And I'll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me,
But lonely walls, I'll keep you company.

Hello window, (Hello, hello.)
Well, I see that you're still here.
Aren't you lonely,
Since our darlin disappeared
Well look here, is that a teardrop in the corner of your pane

Now that I've made up my mind you're gone it should be easier now

Perhaps now my heart will stop hangin' on it should be easier now
The lesson I've learned from you gold can't buy

A heart can be broken and still survive

Thanks to you now a much wiser man am I it should be easier now

The worst now is over I've stood the test it should be easier now

Do you remember how they warned you once before

They made it clear you weren't to see me anymore

Within your world of riches poor boys aren't allowed
And you must learn to love someone within your crowd

And though I love you more than I could ever say

The danger's much too great and you can't stay

You could never stand dishonor you're too proud

The morning that you left me was just another day
How could I see the sorrow that had found me
Then you left and told me that I was in your way
And I turned and ran as heaven fell around me
I stumbled through the darkness my footsteps were unsure
I live within a world that had no sunshine
When you left me darling my world came to an end
And there was darkness on the face of the earth

Once again it's twelve o'clock and you're still gone
Honey are you ever coming home
I don't mind this waiting for you while you're gone
But honey, are you ever coming home
The wind outside is cold as my poor heart inside
Honey, are you ever coming home
I love you much too much to worry 'bout my pride
But honey, are you ever coming home
Just before I tuck them in
The children question me

My oat meal tastes just like confetti the coffee's too strong so forget it

The toast is burning well let it there's just so much to do since you've gone
Too much to do all alone

My tie's lost I can't find the sweater there's the doorbell I hope that's your letter

My head aches I hope I feel better there's just so much to do since you've gone

Too much to do all alone

I live one day at a time I dream one dream at a time

Yeasterday's dead and tomorrow is blind and I live one day at a time

Guess that's your surprise to see me back at home

But you know how much I miss you when I'm gone

Don't ask how long I planned to stay it never crossed my mind I live one day at a time

Night Life
Written by Willie Nelson, Walter Breeland, and Paul Buskirk

When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life

Many people just like me
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life

Listen to the blues that they're playin'
Listen what the blues are sayin'

It would be a comfort just to know that you never doubt me

Even though I give you cause most every day
Sometimes I think that you'd be better off without me

Although I love you in my own peculiar way

Don't doubt my love if sometimes my mind should wonder

To a suddenly remembered yesterday

Cause my mind could never stay too long away from you

I'll always love you in my own peculiar way

Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How am I doing
Oh, I guess that I'm doing fine
It's been so long now,
But it seems now, that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away.

How's your new love
I hope that he's doin fine
I heard you told him,
That you'd love him till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing that you told me
Seems like just the other day
