Lady, I'm your knight in shining armour
And I love you
You've made me what I am
And I am yours
My love, there's so many ways
I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms
Forever more
You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And all we belong together
Won't you believe in my song
Lady, for so many years I'd thought
I'd never find you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you
Each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ears
In my eyes I see no one else but you
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes
I'll always want you need me
I've waited for you for so long
Lady your love is the only love I need
And beside me is where I want you to be
Because my love there is something I want you to know
You're the love of my life

. . .


Kenny Rogers & Sheena Easton

I know it's late
I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely

Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry?
No one will care, girl
Look at the stars now, so far away

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't you stay?

Deep in my soul
I've been so lonely
All of my hopes now so fading away
I've longed for love
Like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching after today

So there it is, girl
We've got it all now
And here we are, babe
What do you say?

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?

I know it's late and I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely , both of us lonely

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light, come take my hand now
We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?

. . .



While she lay sleeping
I stayed out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the night can be so long
That's good and I finally make it home all alone
While she lays dreaming
I try to get undressed without the light
And quietly she says
How was your nights
And I come to her
And say it was alright
And I hold her tight
And she believes in me

I'll never know
Just what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl
Could change the world with me little
I was wrong
But she has faith in me
And so go on trying restless
and who knows may be
On some special night
If my song was right
I will find the way, find the way
While she lay waiting
I stumble to the kitchen for a bite

Then I see my old guitar in the night
Just waiting for me
Like my secret friend
And there's no end
While she lay crying
I fumble with a melody or two
Then I'm thru between the things that I should do
Then she said I wake her up
And I'm thru
God my love is true
So while she lay

I was sinking deep in sin,
Far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within,
Sinking to rise no more.
But the Master of the sea

Heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me.
Now safe am I.

Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me.

Souls in danger look above
Jesus completely saves
He will lift you by his love
Out of the angry waves

But the master of the sea
Billows His will obey
He your savior wants to be
Be saved today

Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help

. . .

My World Begins and End With You

[Нет текста]

All my life was a paper
What's plain, pure and white
Till the balance was right
Till you moved with your pen
Changing mood now and then
Then you added some music
Every note was in place
And anybody could see
All the changes in me
By the look on my face
And you decorated my life
Created a world where dreams are apart
And you decorated my life
By painting your love all over my heart

You decorated my life
Like a rhyme with no reason
And an unfinished song
There was no harmony
Life meant nothing to me
Until you came along
Then you came along
Then you brought out the colors
What a gentle surprise
How I'm able to see all the things life can be

. . .


Just look at you sitting there
You never looked better than tonight
And it would be so easy to tell you I'd stay
Like I've done so many times

I was so sure that this would be the night
You'd close the door and wanna stay with me
And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd wait
Like I've done so many times

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't you fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Now it's morning, the phone rings
And you say you've gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave before you change your mind
And if you knew what I was thinking girl
I'd turn around if you'd just ask me one more time

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Before we said goodbye

Goodbye

. . .


Kenny Rogers & Dottie West

You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before
In your finger's tips
You're tryin' hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby I know it.

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Oh, oh that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh.

Now there's no welcome look
In your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're startin' to criticize
Little things I do
It makes me just feel like cryin', baby
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dyin'.

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Oh, oh that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh.
And I can't go on, oh, oh, oh.

Baby, baby I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, a love
A love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't let it slip away.

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
'Cause it's gone and I can't go on...

. . .



I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you
I swear we've been through everything there is
Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Through the year, you've never let me down
You turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you ... Through the years
I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we've made
And I'm so glad I've stayed, right here with you
Through the years

I can't remember what I used to do
Who I trusted whom, I listened to before
I swear you've taught me everything I know
Can't imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years, through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had, I've always been so glad
To be with you ... Through the years
It's better everyday, you've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you
Through the years

Through the years, when everything went wrong
Together we were strong, I know that I belonged
Right here with you ... Through the years
I never had a doubt, we'd always work things out
I've learned what love's about, by loving you
Through the years

Through the years, you've never let me down
You've turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you ... Through the years
It's better everyday, you've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you

. . .


Kenny Rogers & Dottie West

I'll need time to get you off my mind
I may sometimes bother you, try to be in touch with you
Even ask too much of you, from time to time
Now and then, Lord, you know I'll need a friend
And 'till I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you,
'Til I can make it on my own.

I'll get by, but no matter how I try
There'll be times that you'll know I'll call
Chances are my tears will fall
And I'll have no pride at all, from time to time
But they say, oh, there'll be a brighter day
But 'til then I lean on you, that's all I mean to do,
'Til I can make it on my own.

Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done
No more hurtin' memories can find me.

But 'til then, Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend
'Til I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you
'Til I can make it on my own...

. . .



And he'll tell her - He's working late again
But she knows to well there's something goin' on.
She's been neglected - and she needs a friend
So her trembling fingers dial the telephone.

And Lord, it hurts her - doin' this again
He's the best friend that her husband ever knew.
When she's lonely - he's more than just a friend
He's the one she loans her body to.

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers -
Hoping no one else discovers
Where they go - What they do -
In their secret hideaway

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers -
They don't want to hurt the others
So they love - In the nighttime -
And shake hands in the light of day.

And when it's over - there's no peace of mind
Just a longin' for the way things should have been.
And she wonders - Why some men never find
That a woman needs a lover and a friend.


. . .



Every now and then
When the world steps in
Stealing all our time away
It soon takes so much
We forget to touch
That's when I know
It's time for me to say
Take my hand
Let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Care's my heart
We can hide today
And love the world away

Once again we'll be
Where our hearts are free
And the time is ours to share
Love will always stay
Just a touch away
Come with me
All the magic's waiting there
Take my hand
Let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Care's my heart
We can hide today
And love the world away

. . .



I don't need you.
I don't need friendship.
I don't need flowers in the Spring.
I don't need you.
And you surely don't want me.

I don't need love and affection.
I don't peace and harmony.
I don't need you.
And you surely don't need me.

CHORUS:
But we both want it bad enough.
Yes, we both want it. Don't we?
I don't need you baby.
And I know you don't need me.

I don't need your loving arms around me.
All I need is to be free.
That's what I keep telling myself.
And I tell you, you don't need me.

I don't need children in my old age.
No more cluttered leaves around the tree.
And I don't need you baby.
And I know you don't need me.

Repeat Chorus

And we don't need each other, baby.
We don't need each other, baby.

Everyone considered him
The coward of the county
It never stool one single time
To prove the county's
His mama named him Tommy
The folks just called him Yellow
Something always told me
They were reading Tommy's wrong
He was only ten years old
When his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy
Because he's my brother's son
I still recalled the final words
My brother said to Tommy,
"Son, my life was over,
But yours just begun.
Promised me son,
Not to do the things I've done,
Walked away form troubles if you can
It won't mean your weak
If you turned the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son you don't have to fight to be a man
There's someone for everyone."

And Tommy's love was working
The gambling boys came calling
They took turns of Veckie
And there was three of them
Tommy opened up the door
Saw his Veckie crying
The torn dress, the shattered look
Is more than he could stand
He reached above the fire place
And took down his daddy's face
He heard these words again
Promised me son
Not to do the things I've done,
Walked away form troubles if you can
It won't mean your weak
If you turned the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son you don't have to fight to be a man
The gambling boys just laughed at him
When he walked into the barroom
One of them got up
And meet him halfway cross the floor
When Tommy turn around
They said,
Hey look old Yellow's leaving
But you could have heard a pin drop
When Tommy stop and lock the door
The bottle up inside him
He let them have it all
He wouldn't hold nothing back
He let them have it all
When Tommy left the barroom
Not a gambling boy was standing
He said this one's for Veckie
As he watched the last one fall
I heard him say
I promised you dad
Not to do the things you've done,
I walked away form troubles when I can
Now please don't think I'm weak
I didn't turn the other cheek
And papa I surely hope you understand
Sometimes you got to fight when you're a man
Everyone considered him

. . .


Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out ridin fences for so long now
Oh and you're a hard one, but I know that you've got your reasons
The things that are pleasin' you, can hurt you somehow.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy, she'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones you can't get.

Desperado, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day
And you're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences- open the gates
It may be rainin, but there's a rainbow above you
You'd better let somebody love you, let somebody love you.

You'd better let somebody love you
Before it's too late...

. . .


Oh, I wish that I could hurt that way again
At least I had you every now and then
And in between the sorrow
At least there was tomorrow
And as long as there's tomorrow
There's no end
Oh, I wish that I could hurt that way again.

Oh, I wish that we could play that game again
Even though I'd always lose and you would win
At times you would desert me
The emptiness would hurt me
But your coming back
Was always worth the pain
Oh, I wish that I could hurt that way again.

I'd love to hear you tell me
You don't need me anymore
Just like you used to tell me everyday
I'd love to watch you leaving
Like the hundred times before
At least my eyes could see you walk away.

Oh, I wish that we could play that game again
Even though I'd always lose and you would win
At times you would desert me
The emptiness would hurt me
But your coming back
Was always worth the pain
Oh, I wish that I could hurt that way again...

. . .


(Composer: Bruce Fisher and Billy Preston)

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
You're everything that I'd hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
You're everything that I'd hoped for
You're everything that I need
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful to me

. . .


(Writers: Larry Henley, Kenny O'Dell)

I don't wanna read the paper this morning
I don't wanna hear no busy city sounds
There's so many things that's so much more important
And they're the only things worth thinkin' 'bout.

Why don't go somewhere and love
It's been a long long time
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And lock the world outside.

Why don't we just lay down what we're doin'
We don't need a reason or a rhyme
Don't take the time to stop and think about it
If we talk too much we might just change our mind.

So why don't we go somewhere and love
And leave it all behind
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And stay a long long time.

Why don't we go somewhere and love
And leave it all behind
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And stay a long long time...

. . .



I stood outside the Lucky Star
Staring at the flashing sign
It read: come on in and watch young
Scarlet's body come alive
Let her dance for you and catch your spell
You'll swear you can believe her
Be careful not to catch the scarlet fever.

So I paid my fare and walked down front
And found an empty chair
As I settled in young scarlet took the ribbons from her hair
The moves her body made while the music played
Were the likes I've never seen
And she became the envy of my dreams.

One by one her teasing movements
Brought the crowd out of their seats
And all at once young scarlet
Danced straight up in front of me
From the moment that her eyes found mine
I've never been the same
Scarlet locked another heart upon her chain.

Now I get scarlet fever every time I see her
But she's a night club teaser
Not paid to notice me
Yes, I get scarlet fever
If she knew how much I need her
She'd place her hand in my hand
And dance away with me.

She looked 25 but I was told
That she was just 16
She had a way of making a man believe
She danced for only him
As she tantalized I fantasized
And felt the sound of my heart beat
And every night I'd dream
She'd fall in love with me.

Then one night while driving in
My eyes begun to tear
'cos the sign outside the Lucky Star said: scarlet isn't here
she'd left that day to find a life
of bigger and better things
and she left behind my chain of broken dreams.

But still get scarlet fever
In my mind I still see her
Out there dancing somewhere
To another fool like me.

. . .


Are you sure I haven't loved you somewhere before
In another time, another place, on some distant shore?

You know me so well, better than I know myself.
And you'll love me tonight
Like you've loved me all my life, all my life
And with the touch of your hand
You took me farther than I've never been
You'll love me like, you've loved me all my life.

Love like we made could have taken a lifetime to find
But you found the way to my heart in a moment of time
You know how to care just like you've always been there.
And you'll love me tonight
Like you've loved me all my life, all my life...

. . .


Kenny Rogers & Dottie West

Sometimes when I'm down and alone
I feel just like a child with out a home
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on, honey
All I ever need is you.

Your my first love, your my last
Your my future, your my past
Ohhh loving you is all I ask, honey
All I ever need is you.

Winters come and then they go
And we watch the melting snow
Sure summer follows spring, all the things you do
Give me a reason to build my world around you.

(World around you)

Some men follow rainbows I am told
Some men search for silver, some for gold
But I found my treasures in my soul
And all I ever need is you.

Without love I'd never find the way
Through ups and downs of every single day
And I won't sleep at night until you say
Honey, all I ever need is you.

La, La, La, La, La, La
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on
Honey, all I'll ever need is you.

La, La, La, La, La, La
But I found my treasures in my soul
Honey, and all I ever need is you.

La, La, La, La, La, La...

. . .


Kenny Rogers & Dottie West

They ask me, how we do it?
And I tell them, we love each other
There's really nothing to it
It's easy, we love each other so.
And we always will, and I know,
We found it long ago and now it's sure
That it's the kind to last forever.

They ask me, can we make it?
And I tell them, we love each other
If there's trouble, can we take it?
And I tell them, we love each other.

More than we ever have before
And they should know
When they ask us, how we do it
We just tell them, we love each other so.
We love each other.

We love each other
More than we ever
And they should know
When they ask us, how we do it
We just tell them, we love each other so,
We love each other...

. . .



I wouldn't listen and I couldn't see
And all I have left now are words you said to me,
sing your song sweet music man,
'cos I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to,
I'm thro' with you.

You're a hell of a singer and a powerful man
but you surround yourself
with people who demand so little of you.

You touched my soul with your beautiful song,
you even had me singing along right with you,
you said I need.

Then you changed the words and added harmony
and you sang the song you had written for me
to someone new.

But nobody sings a love song quite like you do
and nobody else could make me sing along
and nobody else could make me feel
that things are right when I know they're wrong
( that things are right when you're wrong with the song )
nobody sings a love song quite like you.

Sing your song sweet music man
You travel the world with a six piece band
that does for you what you ask 'em to.

And you try to stay young
But the songs you've sung to so many people
they've all begun to come back on you.

So sing your song sweet music man,
you're making your living doing one night stands,
that prove to you they don't need you.

You're still a hell of a singer but a broken man,
but you're keep on looking for one last fan
to sing 'em to.

But nobody sings ...
So sing your song sweet music man

. . .



It's an ill wind that blows no good
And it's a sad heart that won't love like it should
Oh how lonesome you must be
And it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me

It's a heartache when love is gone
And it can get even worse if it keeps on
Blinder than he who won't see
And it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me

I can't help it
If she is gone
You must try to forget
You must live on
It's a good thing to love someone
But it's bad and even sad
When it's not returned
Oh how lonesome you must be
And it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me
And I said it's a shame
