All Time Greatest Hits lyrics

Lonely world without you around me loneliness is all I can see
Empty hours stretch all till tomorrow lonely world is there no one for me

Lonely world there must be someone for me someone with arms to hold me tenderly

City streets I walk down alone now broken dreams I have for company

Quiet rooms that I spend my time in lonely world is there no one for me

[ strings ]

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be

There's a shadow hanging over me oh yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say

I said some things wrong now I long for yesterday

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising

She'll find the note I left hanging on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving

Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working

She'll prob'ly stop at lounch and give me a call

But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing off the wall that's all

When you're weary feeling small when tears are in your eyes I'll dry them all

I'm on your side when times get rough and friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

When you're down and out when you're on the street

When evening falls so hard I will comfort you

And I wake up in the morning with my hair down in my eyes and she says hi

And I stumble to the breakfast table while the kids are going off to school goodbye

And she reaches out and takes my hand squeezes it and says how you feelin' hon
And I look across at smiling lips that warm my heart and see my morning sun

And if that's not loving me then all I've got to say

She wears my my ring to show the world that she belongs to me

She wears my ring to show the world she's mine eternaly
With loving care I place it on her finger to show my love for all the world to see

This tiny ring is a thing of a tender remotion

An endless fool of love that's as deep as the ocean

She swears to wear it with eternal devotion

That's why I sing because she wears my ring

I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies

Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies

Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes

Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin

As usual I'll be working when she reads the morning paper

And oh how I wish I could be home so I could see
My darling's face light up when she sees her picture in the paper

And this message underneath to her from me

Happy anniversary sweetheart to you from me

Thanks for loving me another year

I wanted our whole town to see the woman who consistedly

My world is like a river as dark as it is deep

Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness for me

Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memories

Sweet memories sweet memories I'm clinging to her memories

She slipped into the silence of my dreams last night

Wandering from room to room turning on each light
