Masters lyrics

I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms

Like you'd never been held before
I'll think of you each day and then I'll dream the night away

Till you are in my arms once more

The stars up in the sky know the reason why I feel so blue when I'm away from you

I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms so darling please wait for me

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by

But when I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die oh Lawd

And then I jumped in the river but the doggone river was dry
I had me a woman she couldn't be untrue

She made me for money and she made me blue

A man needs a woman that he can lean on

But my leanin' post is done and left and gone

When you found somebody new I thought I never would

Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pain away until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day

Once a day all day long and once a night from dusk till dawn

The only time I wish you weren't gone is once a day every day all day long

[ brass ]

I'm so glad that I'm not like a friend I knew one time

I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

It was on one moonlight night with stars shining bright

Whispered on high love said goodbye

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

[ brass ]

Cry cry darling that's what I do if you'd leave me with the blues

Cry cry darling that's all I do if it's you I should lose
For me there'd be no moonlight if ever we should part

Cry cry darling that's what I do cause you're the one in my heart

[ guitar ]

My eyes will cry and never dry if you should go

[ guitar ]

When shadows creep I'll just weep all night I know

Almost you fell in love with me almost you were my bride to be

But each promise that was made you have broken and betrayed
And left me with a faded memory

Almost my precious dreams came true almost you whispered dear I do

But someone new came by and you left me here to cry oh how close we were almost

Almost I heard the church bells ring almost I heard the choir sing

Well I never felt more like singing the blues cause I never thought that I'd ever lose

Your love dear why'd you do me this way
Well I never felt more like crying all night

Cause everything's wrong and nothing ain't right

Without you you got me singing the blues

The moon and stars no longer shine the dream is gone I thought was mine

There's nothing left for me to do but cry over you
