Take your sizzers and take your time and cuddle along the dotted line
And follow closely my design for I want to be what I'm cut out to be
Give me kisses warm and sweet and dream about me while you sleep
And all your secrets I will keep for I want to be what I'm cut out to be
Keep me with you all the time and don't leave me alone
For a restless wind may come along just one puff and I'll be gone
Keep your sizzers close at hand and trim my edges now and then
And fit me in with all your plans for I want to be what I'm cut out to be
For I want to be what I'm cut out to be

Since I have known you there's a shadow hanging over you
Keeping you from scene that you might need me
It's too bad that you're not glad for I could take you to the place where love is
Someone you loved another time is standing in the way of mine
Wishes that I have to try and mend to pieces
But I know that it's too late I'll never take you to the place where love is
Where love is you will never know you are the kind to love one time and not let go
You don't know how much I wish that you would give just one kiss
And open up your heart to me so I could enter
But if I could only get you there you might find you'd like to share where love is

In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainity I want to be
In the warm hold of your lovin' mind
Feel you all around me and to take your hand along the sand
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind
When sundown pales the sky I want to hide a while behind your smile
And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find
For me to love you now would be the sweetest thing that'd make me sing
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind
When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind
Standing in your heart is where I want to be and long to be
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind
[ strings ]
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind

Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind lie still
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops then hold back the sun the world has ended my baby's gone
I'll wake up almost every night and realize you're gone
I'll toss and turn and stare at darkness waiting for the dawn
I try to tell my lonely heart we'll make it alone
But it cries the world has ended oh my baby's gone
Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind lie still
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun
Don't they know the world has ended my baby's gone
Don't they know the world has ended oh my baby's gone

I know you think you are hurting me and I must admit this is true
But the hurt I am feeling I know I'll get over but look what you're doing to you
This world holds so many temptations and I have had one or two
But the promise of evening grows dim in the morning so look what you're doing to you
Strange lips taste better then warm so familar
Old words sounds sweeter when new arms are holding you tight
My love isn't new but it's lasting it's real it's strong and it's true
And I love you so much I don't care if you hurt me so look what you're doing to you
[ strings ]
So look what you're doing to you

If time were not a moving thing and I could make it stay this hour
The love we share will always be there'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light make us realize all night it's over

When you walk away from me there is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes against the sun that rises over land
I watch you walk away somehow I have to let you go now it's over
If you knew just how I really feel you might be turning yet
There are so many times that people have to love and then forget
Though there might have been a way I have to force myself to say it's over
[ string ]
So I turn my back and turn my hair to the wind
Move along in silence trying not to think at all
I send my feet before me walk the silence street before me it's over
[ string ]
If time were not a moving thing...
It's over

If she brings you happiness then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if she ever breaks your heart if the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Though it hurts to let you go darling I want you to know
And I'll stand by you if you'll ever call
And if I should ever hear that she made you shed a tear
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
I'll be there anytime you need me by your side
To dry away every teardrop that you cried
If she ever leaves you blue just remember I love you
And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Yes I'll be there before the next teardrop falls

Today I sat alone at my window and I watched our little boy outside at play
With the little girl next door like so many times before
But something didn't seem quite right today
So I went outside to see what they were doing
And then the teardrops came my eyes would lame
Cause I heard him name the game and I hung my head in shame
When I heard our little boy say to her
(I don't wanna play house I know it can't be fun
I watched mommy and daddy and if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house it makes my mommy cry
Cause when she played house my daddy said goodbye)
(I don't wanna play house...

If you go away on this summer day then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song
If you go away if you go away if you go away
But if you'll stay I'll make you a day like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun we'll glide on the rain we'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go I'll understand leave me just lot love to fill up my hand
If you go away if you go away if you go away
If you go away as I know you will you must tell the world to stop turning
Till you return again if you ever do for what good is love without loving you
Can I tell you now as you turn to go I'll be dying slow to the next hello
If you go away if you go away if you go away
But if you'll stay I'll make you a night like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile I'll glide on your touch I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go I know I will cry all the good is gone from the word goodbye
If you go away if you go away if you go away
If you go away as I know you must there'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space like the empty look I see on your face
I have been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side
If you go away if you go away if you go away

I was all right for a while I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night you held my hand so tight as you stopped to say hello
You wished me well you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you crying over you
Then you said so long left me standing all alone alone and crying crying crying
Crying it's hard to understand that the touch of your hand can start me crying
I thought that I was over you but it's true oh so true
I love you even more than I did before but darling what can I do
You don't love me and I'll always be crying crying over you crying over you
Yes now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying crying crying crying yes crying crying over you
