Way up north where the snow flies And the sun don't hardly shine If it weren't for my true love, I'd long ago lost my mind I'd long ago lost my mind There's good folks here, And good folks there, Most everywhere I go But the land of my heart is down where The snow white cotton grows Where the snow white cotton grows When the river runs over from the melting snow, We'll take to the higher ground When the water goes down again We'll saddle our old paint We'll be homeward bound Me and my love will be homeward bound Heartstrings hold tighter than The roots of a live oak tree Holdin' through tornado winds Tougher than timber, stronger than steel They'll guide me back southward again They'll guide me back southward again When the river runs over from the melting snow, We'll take to the higher ground And when the water goes down again We'll saddle our old paint We'll be homeward bound Me and my love will be homeward bound
It was so right It was so wrong Almost at the same time The pain and ache A heart can take No one really knows But when the memories cling And take you there 'til you no longer care You can let go now It's not right for me To cling to you Somehow I just needed time From what was to be It's not like me To hold somebody down But I was tossed high by love Almost never came down Only to land Where no love is found And I'm no longer bound I can let go now
Last night, my dear, the rain was falling I went to bed so sad and blue Then I had a dream of you I dreamed I was strolling in the evening Underneath the harvest moon I was thinking about you Then we met out in the moonlight The stars were shining in your eyes But another was there too I don't believe you've met my baby You looked at her, you looked at me I wondered who you were talking to I shook the hand of your stranger But I was shaking more inside I was still wondering who Your arm was resting on her shoulder You smiled at her, she smiled at you Her eyes were filled with victory She said "My brother wants to marry" And then my heart was filled with ease I knew that you would marry me
If I give my heart to you tonight Will you still be by my side Or will you be gone with the mornin' sun Like a restless bird in flight Take me in your arms Let the love you see Wash away your sorrows Let the morning be ours to keep And if I should tell you Of the love that I feel Will you still be there for me Or will I awake to a faded love Searching for freedom's gain Take me in your arms Let the love you see Wash away your sorrows Let the morning be ours to keep Take me in your arms Let the love you see Wash away your sorrows Let the morning be ours to keep If I give my heart to you tonight Will you still be by my side Or will you be gone with the mornin' sun Like a bird who yearns to fly
(The lyrics to this song are incomplete I cannot figure out a couple of the words If you have the lyrics to this song or know what should be in the ?? sections "please" e-mail me.) The wind is blowin' down the quiet river The shining road that's carrying you home Baby boy my love will last forever If you're to live, I must give you up to God I know our God will guide, protect and keep you Teach you faith and hold you by the heart Though you know this heart is broken by your leaving Our Father knows just who he is and who you are (Chorus) I wish that life wasn't always endin' up this way What heavens love is taking's hell to pay But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part You must leave so I give you to this heart When it blows you down the silent river The shining road that leaves me all alone Life for you's worth losin' you forever Someday you will say, God's ?? never ever ?? I wish that life wasn't always endin' up this way What heavens love is taking's hell to pay But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part You must live so I give you to this heart (Chorus) I wish that life wasn't always endin' up this way What heavens love is taking's hell to pay But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part You must leave so I give you to this heart
When the curtains of the night are pinned back by the stars And the beautiful moon sweeps the sky Dewdrops from Heaven are kissing the rose It's then that my memory flies Well, upon the wings of a beautiful dove I'll hasten this message of cheer And I'll bring you a kiss of affection and say I'll remember you love in my prayers Now the angels of Heaven are guarding the good As God has ordained them to do In answer to prayers that I offer to Him I know there's one waiting for you Now go where you will upon land or on sea And I'll share all your sorrows and cares At night as I kneel by my bedside to pray I'll remember you, love, in my prayers Well at night as I kneel by my bedside to pray I'll remember you, love, in my prayers
If I could have the world and all it owns A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones If all the earth were mine to hold With wealth my only goal I'd spend my gold on selfish things Without the love that Your life brings Just a little bit more is all I'd need 'Til life was torn from me I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand Though rich or poor I may be Faith can see right through the circumstance Sees the forest in spite of the trees Your grace provides for me If I should walk the streets no place to sleep No faith in promises You keep I'd have no way to buy my bread With a bottle for my bed But if I trust the One who died for me Who shed His blood to set me free If I live my life to trust in You Your grace will see me through I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand Though rich or poor I may be Faith can see right through the circumstance Sees the forest in spite of the trees If I could have the world If I could have the world and all it owns
It doesn't matter what I want It doesn't matter what I need It doesn't matter if I cry Don't matter if I bleed You've been on a road Don't know where it goes or where it leads It doesn't matter what I want It doesn't matter what I need If you've made up your mind to go I won't beg you to stay You've been in a cage Throw you to the wind you fly away It doesn't matter what I want It doesn't matter what I need It doesn't matter if I cry Doesn't matter if I bleed Feel the sting of tears Falling on this face you've loved for years
It's finally come Is that sorry on your breath Where were you when I was sitting back here Missing you to death It don't matter now How, I wanna know Can you tell me plain and true How high will you fly Without me there to be your sky Well, it don't matter now Don't mean to leave you standing on your own I think back on days and nights we had long ago Maybe love is just a game you play This much I do know It don't matter now It's finally come Is that sorry on your breath Where were you when I was sitting back here Missing you to death It don't matter now Now I don't tell stories And I don't pretend I won't be around to say I told you then Cause it seems like something's finally broken That'll take a lot of mend But it don't matter now Is that sorry on your breath Where were you when I was sitting back here Missing you to death It don't matter now It don't matter now It don't matter now
You walked up yesterday and you told me you were leavin' Left a note sayin' momma won't be back But you'll come back and I've got news for you dear You won't have a home and that's a fact Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness Pack your bags and move on down the line Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry It's too late babe, and it won't work this time I've always been around, Lord when you needed someone I played the role 'til I knew each line by heart But now it's time to change, won't you find another playmate Someone who'll be glad to play the part Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness Pack your bags and move on down the line Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry It's too late babe, and it won't work this time Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness Pack your bags and move on down the line Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry It's too late babe, and it won't work this time
