The Best Of Crystal Gayle lyrics

Here I go once again
With my suitcase in my hand
And I'm running away down River Road
And I swear, once again, that I'm never coming home
Yes, I'm chasing my dreams down River Road

Mama said, listen child
You're too old to run wild
You're to big to be fishin' with the boys these days

So I grabed some clothes and I ran
Stole five dollars from a sugar can

We kissed goodnight
And we turn out the light
And we lay side by side in the dark
And we're waiting for sleep or a spark

But the night's on the run
And the spark does not come
And we quietly worry and wonder
And the silence is louder than thunder
And it rings with the sound of goodbye

(Chorus)
It rings with the sound of goodbye
I can't even tell you just why

You no longer notice if I'm wearin' perfume
I seldom hear a lovin' word from you
Your attention's wrapped up in the mornin' paper
And I feel a restless yearnin' for somethin' new.

We used to whisper love across the nighttime
Now we never whisper nor recall
Our love is left upon the shelf of winter
Where the sunlight never touches it at all.

It's a habit for us to be together

Mad is the captain of Alpha Centauri
We must be out of our minds
Still we are shipmates bound for tomorrow
And everyone here's flying blind

Oh, we must believe in magic
We must believe in the guiding hand
If you believe in magic
You'll have the universe at your command

Mad is the crew bound for Alpha Centauri
Dreamers and poets and clowns
Bold is the ship bound for Alpha Centauri

Sure I understand
Of course, I'll be fine
You had to change your plans,
Oh well, I'l just change mine
But if it turns out bad
And if your nights get long
And if she makes you sad
No need, to be strong
(Chorus)
And if you ever change your mind
And find you miss those feelings that you left behind
We can give it one more try
Some magic place in time
If you ever change your mind

A long and lasting love

Not many people find it

But those who do their whole life through

Put their heart and soul behind it

A long and lasting love

A long and lasting love

Is what I've always dreamed of

And when I look into your eyes

I knew I'd really seen love

A long and lasting love

Chorus:

We got a once in a lifetime

All the dreams we've waited for

Well, I…
Here it comin’.
I can…
Feel it in my bones.
And it’s
Weighin’ heavy on me…
Like a…
Sack full of stones!

And I…
See it in your eyes, baby,
Each time we meet…
And I…
Sense somethin’ movin’
Underneath our feet!

Baby, our love is on the fault line!
And You’re sayin’ that the fault’s mine!
I can’t believe that you’re so blind…

verybody thinks I'm crazy It's going around. The girl's headed for a heartbreak she's going down. They say I'm always wanting something that I
can't have Baby, what about you.
Everybody says "You really ought to go home" Tell the man that you love him
when you're all alone. I don't really think that that's something I can do
Baby, what about you.

(Male)I see you standing in the light in the window of my bedroom
That old moon has never shined as bright as it's shining nnow on you
(Female) I see a new star in the heavens for us tonight
I've been a waiting for you most of my life
Now that we're together and we're where we belong
I can't help but wonder why
(Both) Why did it take so long?
(Chorus - Both)

I've spent my life trying to tell everyone
I've got myself I don't need anyone
You heard the words but you looked in my eyes
And saw the wall of tears I was hiding behind

You reached for me, I felt your touch
I wanted you we both needed so much
In a world of lonely people looking for love
Why was I suprised to see it happen to us
(Chorus)
Everybody needs someone to love

Moon please don't shine on me Help me hide his memory
Stars don't light the midnight sky cause you don't want to see me cry
Heart don't let me think of him Lock your door don't let his memory in
I feel the cold wind blowin through A love like this was meant for two

Chorus:

But its me against the ight and I'm afraid it's a losing fight

None of your friends come near you
They've given up trying to steer you
Because you're turning away, turning away from love

Lately you look so ragged
The edge of your heart's become jagged
And your turning away, turning away from love
(chorus)
I see ya turning away, turning away from love
I see ya turning away, turning away from love

Well she gives it to you without asking

Just like the sun over the mountain top
You know I'll always come again
You know I like to spend my morning time
Like sunlight dancing on your skinn

I've never gone so wrong as for telling lies to you
What you've seen is what I've been
And there is nothing I can hide from you
You see me better than I can
(Chorus)
Out on the road that lies before me now

Just you and I,
Sharing our love together.
And I know in time,
We'll build the dreams we treasure.
We'll be all right, just you and I.

Just you and I
Just you and I
Sharing our love together
And I know in time,
And I know in time,
We'll build the dreams we treasure.

We'll be all right,
Just you and I.

Chorus:
And I remember our first embrace,

I don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry all night long
Say it isn't true
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibis
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
