Альбом Willie Nelson

Touch me, touch the hand of a man
Who once owned all the world
And touch, me touch the arms
That once held all the charms
Of the world's sweetest girl
Touch me, maybe someday you may
Need to know how it feels when you lose
And so touch me, you'll know
How you feel with the blues

Watch me, watch the eyes
That have seen all the heartache
And pain in the land
And be thankful you're happy though
Standing so close to the world's bluest man
Don't forget me, take a good look
At someone who's lost everything he can lose
And then touch me and you'll know
How you'd feel with the blues

[ guitar ]

Don't forget me take a good look...

Gettin' tired now gotta get some sleep now
Guess I've been worried much too long
And don't wake me till it's over
When the need for you is gone
I was so happy before I loved you
I'm gonna be like I was before
And don't wake me till it's over
When I don't want you anymore

My mind is gettin' weak now gotta get some sleep now
I gotta rest my achin' head
I just wanna lay here just let me stay here
Till the blues get up and leave my bed
Good night, darling
Good night, darling
Good night forevermore
And don't wake me till it's over
When I won't want you anymore
My mind is gettin' weak now...

Hello walls, (Hello, hello.)
How'd things go for you today?
Don't you miss her.
Since she up and walked away?
And I'll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me,
But lonely walls, I'll keep you company.

Hello window, (Hello, hello.)
Well, I see that you're still here.
Aren't you lonely,
Since our darlin disappeared?
Well look here, is that a teardrop in the corner of your pane?
Now don't you try to tell me that's it's rain.

She went away and left us all alone the way she planned.
Guess we'll have to learn to get along without her if we can.

Hello ceiling, (Hello, hello.)
I'm gonna stare at you a while.
You know I can't sleep,
So won't you bear with me a while?
We gotta all stick together or else I'll lose my mind.
I gotta feelin' she'll be gone a long, long time.

(Hello, hello wall.)

Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How am I doing?
Oh, I guess that I'm doing fine
It's been so long now
But it seems now, that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away

How's your new love
I hope that he's doing fine
I heard you told him
That you'd love him till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing that you told me
Seems like just the other day
Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away

I gotta go now
I guess I'll see you around
Don't know when though
Never know, when I'll be back in town
But remember, what I tell you
In time, your gonna pay
And it's surprising, how time slips away

I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so blue

I know
you'd love me as long as you wanted
then someday
leave me for somebody new

(bridge)
worry
why do I let myself worry
wondring
what in the world did I do

crazy
for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for crying
I'm crazy for trying
I'm crazy for loving you

Life is a picture and I play the lead but my biggest line was goodbye
Now my leading lady has walked out on me and this is the part where I cried
I was great in the scene where she found someone new
You should have seen my look of surprise
And if you'll have just walk into the picture this is the part where I cry

And after the picture is over and it's judged for the part where you lied
The award of the chiefment that's given will be mine for the part where I cried
I was great in the scene...

Mr. Record Man I'm looking for a song I heard today
There was someone blue singing not someone who went away
Just like me his heart was yearning for a love that used to be
It's a lonely song about a lonely man like me
There was something bout a love that didn't treat him right
And he'd wake from troubled sleep and cry her name at night
Mr Record Man get this record for me won't you please
It's a lonely song about a lonely man like me

[ piano ]

I was driving down the highway with the radio turned on
And a man that I heard singing sound so blue and all alone
As I listen to his lonely song I wonder could it be
Could there somewhere be another lonely man like me
There was something bout a love...

Three days I dread to see arrive
Three days I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday today and tomorrow

There are three days I know that I'll be blue
Three days that I'll always dream of you
And it does no good to wish these days would end
Cause the same three days start over again

Three days that I dread be alive
Three days that I hate to see arrive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow Yesterday today and tomorrow

[ guitar ]

There are three days...
Three days that I dread to see arrive...
Three days three days

I'm just one step before losin' you.
And I'm just one step ahead of the blues.
But I know that there's been pain an' misery.
Long before this old world had ever heard of me.
And I know it will hurt to see you go,
But we'll just add one more heartache to the score.
And though I still love you as before,
I'm just one step beyond carin' any more.

Instrumental break.

Bet that you're surprised that I could feel this way,
After stayin' home an' waitin' night and day.
For someone who cared so much for me,
You'd come home just long enough to laugh at me.
I don't know just when my feelin's changed,
I just know I could never feel the same,
And though I still love you as before,
I'm just one step beyond carin' any more.

If you can't say you love me say you hate me
And that you regret each time you held me tight
If you can't be mine forever then forsake me
If you can't undo the wrong undo the right
It was right when you loved me only
But wrong when you held another tight
So before you go away and leave me lonely
If you can't undo the wrong undo the right
It's too late to say your heart is filled with sorrow
You can't undo what's done why do you try
So please help me to face the new tomorrows
If you can't undo the wrong undo the right

[ guitar ]

It's too late to say your heart...

The morning that you left me was just another day
How could I see the sorrow that had found me
Then you left and told me that I was in your way
And I turned and ran as heaven fell around me
I stumbled through the darkness my footsteps were unsure
I live within a world that had no sunshine
When you left me darling my world came to an end
And there was darkness on the face of the earth
The stars fell out of heaven and the moon could not be found
The sun was in a million pieces scattered all around
Why did you ever leave me you knew how it would hurt
And now there's darkness on the face of the earth

[ guitar ]

The stars fell out of heaven...
And now there's darkness on the face of the earth

Stop here across the street to your right
That's where my house lives
Sometimes I stayed there at night
But mostly I was on the move
Business first you know
And she'd wait there in her lonely room
But oh that's been so long ago
She's gone now
She couldn't stand to be alone
And now it waits there
This house that used to be my home
I never go there cause it holds
Too many memories since she's gone
But right there is where
My house lives all alone

[ guitar ]

She's gone now...
