Break us down by our elements
And you might think He failed
We're not copper for one penny or
Even iron for one nail
And a dollar would be plenty to buy twenty of us
Until true love is added to these handfuls of dust

Handful of dust, handful of dust
Sums up t

I don't fall in love as a rule
It always made me look like a fool
'Cause it keeps me up late
I can't concentrate
And I pride myself on keeping my cool
But I've got to admit
That I'm a little bit in love with you

Now I don't want you gettin' me wrong
Because I do

You ask me how I'm doin' since you left
I can't lie, sometimes I'm beside myself
And the way I feel is to hard to hide
A little on the lonely side

Do you really want to know
What I've been through
Let me just say I'm still wrapped up in you
And the broken heart kee

I gave up cigarettes
I haven't had to light one yet
And it's been a year since I stopped
The same goes for alcohol
I don't touch the stuff at all
And I used to drink till I dropped
Those were tough, this is easy
And it feels so good to say
Forgetting you

Now she knows all about me
Got the house on the market
Sent your boy off to school
Still you choose to live without me
Sayin' you needed time
After all I've givin you

After all the hours spent
Waitin by the phone
Wonderin' when you could get away
And now tha

I don't need to go crazy
Runnin' round town til dawn
The last thing I need's a shoulder
To let my tears fall on
If you wanna know the truth
I'd be good as new
If it weren't for just a little
Thing or two

All I need is not to need you
All I want is not to go

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love Thee, Lo

I feel the blues comin' on
'Cause I feel you being gone
Something I wish I could lose
Baby's gone blues

There ain't no sunshine in sight
'Cause you're gonna leave me tonight
My heart is sure feelin' blue
Baby's gone blues

Oooh love has gone wrong
It's so h

O beautiful star of Bethlehem
Shining far through shadows dim
Giving the light for those who long have gone
Guiding the wise men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay
O beautiful star of Bethlehem
Shine on

O beautiful star the hope of life
Guiding the pilg

Well, there's a boy down Shelby Gap
And I like sittin' on his lap
I'm his gal and he's my man
We been makin' weddin' plans

Brought him home to meet my ma
She raised Cain and dropped her jaw
"Girl, you're crazy as a bat, you ain't gonna marry that"

Looka here mama,

You've got a thing or two to learn about me baby
'Cause I ain't taking it no more and I don't mean maybe
You don't know right from wrong
Well the love we had is gone
So blame it on your lying, cheating, cold deadbeating,
Two-timing, double dealing
Mean mistreating, loving

Never once in my life
I met someone like you
I don't know what the words
Could mean, so long as I'm with you
You fill me so completely
In everything you do
Blue is not a word at all
As long as I'm with you

Most of the time
In my past
Blue is all I knew

When I close my eyes
I almost see
The way you look
When you were standing next to me
And I still feel you holdin' me tight
Oh I can hear the laughter
And all the words you whispered in the night

Picture this and paint it blue
A photograph of me and you
Smile

Rain on my window
Tears in my eyes
Why must I always
Be the one that's left with pride
You say it's over
You don't want me around
Well I'm leavin' you baby
For the blue side of town

Well there's a honky tonk
Where the lights are low
And they play the sad

He sits on a park bench and stares into space.
Thinking of his bright future that has now been erased.
He once loved a woman whose love wasn't true.
Now all that remains is a born-again fool.

Mistakes, he's made many in his passage of life.
She was the first wrong he couldn

Gather round ladies gather round hear the news that's comin' down
The ships are in and the sails are down the boys are back in town
Get your skirts down off the rack the boys are in and the boys are back
And no time now for takin' slack the boys are back in town
Well the boys are

We've been so close together
Each a candle, each a flame
All the dangers were outside us
And we knew them all by name
Now see how the bramble and the rose intertwines
Now love grows like the bramble and the rose
Often cruel, often kind

Now, I've hurt you and it hurt

Well, the bills are all due and the babies needs shoes, we're busted
We've had a hard time since they closed down the mines, we're busted
Got a cow that's gone dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that get bigger each day
Tomorrow they'll haul our belongings away, we

Wake up in the morning, start the coffee boiling.
I can't get enough.
Throw the curtains open, let the sun shine in.
I can't get enough.
Well, I work real hard for every penny I make. Just trying to get the job done.
At the end of the day I'm overworked and underpai

Raindrops fall from the sky teardrops fall from my eyes
Can't stop myself from loving you
Your heartaches found a home I walk these streets alone
Can't stop myself from loving you
I know I shouldn't waste my time in dreams of yesterday
But your mem'ry's all that I have left s
