RCA Country Legends lyrics

Today has been my birthday and tonight I should be glad

But you weren't here to share it and inside I've hurt so bad

I didn't want your presence just your kiss and company
And your lips to softly whisper happy birthday to me

But I came home all by myself and lit the candle

Made a wish for you and love that used to be

I unwrapped the tiny package that I bought myself

I have sailed the peaceful water salty ocean deep and blue

Felt the rapture of the dawning thrilled through sunset's golden view

I've sought above the mountain peeks for valleys great and wide
But it's a little more like heaven by your side

It's a little more like heaven where you are

I have sought for happiness both near and far

But my search for love was through the day that I met you

Happy journey and auf wiederseh'n oh my darling till we meet again

Happy journey happy journey don't forget the one who love you so
I'll be lonely waiting just for you I'll be patient and forever true

Happy journey happy journey darling till that day

When you'll be coming back to stay

And once when I didn't know what to do and where to go

Then you came and love walked in with you

(From here to there to you)

From here to there to you my letter is on its way
To tell you how I miss you ever since you sailed away

To tell you things are not the same when I'm so far from you

I'm sending all my love from here to there to you

From here to there to you and that's oh so far away

Across this little painted map from here to there to you

Have you ever heard a love song that you didn't understand

Well you've met her in a teahouse on the Island of Japan

And have you ever traveled over a many thousand miles
To see a pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style

They read it in the Tea Leaves and it's written in the sand

I found love by the heartful in the foreign distant land

(Living alone living alone)

I may be wealthy with more than my share I may be able to go anywhere
I may own a kingdom and sit on a throne still I'll be lonely while I'm livin' alone

I can follow the bright lights keep a smile on my face

I can travel this whole world but not get any place

I need you near me to stick by my side

Please give me true love and don't shatter my pride

Send me the pillow that you dream on don't you know that I still care for you

Send me the pillow that you dream on so darling I can dream on it too
Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely

I share your love in dreams that once were true

Send me the pillow that you dream on so darling I can dream on it too

Send me the pillow that you dream on maybe time will let our dreams come true

The love that I've waited and longed for is here in my arms at last

But she doesn't know all about me I'm just one step ahead of my past
Now I'm walking the old straight and narrow but yesterday's coming up fast

Cause you can't keep people from talking I'm just one step ahead of my past

Cause when I played at love I made my mistakes where everyone could see

Met a girl I loved in a town way down in Dixie

Neath the stars above she was the sweetest girl I ever did see
So I took her in my arms and told her of her many charms

And kissed her while the organ played the Bonaparte's Retreat

[ organ ]

All the world was bright as I held her on that night

And I heard her say please don't ever go away

So I held her in my arms...

[ organ ]

Oh Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side

The summer's gone and all the roses falling it's you it's you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow

Or when the valleys hushed and white with snow

Yes I'll be here in sunshine or in shadows oh Danny boy oh Danny Boy I love you so

(But come ye back...

Tell me why baby why baby why baby why

You make me cry baby cry baby cry baby cry

Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you just like last time when the feathers flew

You're running wild a kickin' up your heels a leavin' me home with a handful of bills
I can't live without you and you know it's true

But there's no livin' with you so what'll I do

Bring along your fishin' pole and leave your dirty dishes

Meet me by the fishin' pole and where you led your britches

Tell your mom and pa everything's alright

We're gonna go fishin' next Saturday night
Lipstick makeup leave behind makeup takes up too much time

You're a little honey and you're quite a dish

But Saturday night we're goin' fishin' you fish

Please help me I'm falling in love with you

Close the door to temptation don't let me walk through

Turn away from me darling I'm begging you to
Please help me I'm falling in love with you

I belong to another whose arms have grown cold

But I promised forever to have and to hold

I can never be free dear but when I'm with you

I know that I'm losing the will to be true
