Альбом Willie Nelson

I live one day at a time I dream one dream at a time
Yeasterday's dead and tomorrow is blind and I live one day at a time

Guess that's your surprise to see me back at home
But you know how much I miss you when I'm gone
Don't ask how long I planned to stay it never crossed my mind I live one day at a time
See that sparrow fly across the cloudy sky searching for a hatch of sunlight so am I
Wish I didn't have to follow and perhaps I want in time I live one day at a time
I live one day at a time...
I live one day at a time

(I'll always love you in my own peculiar way)
It would be a comfort just to know you never doubt me
Even though I give you cause most every day
Sometimes I think that you'd be better off without me
Although I love you in my own peculiar way
Don't doubt my love if sometimes my mind should wonder
To a suddenly remembered yesterday
Cause my mind could never stay too long away from you
I'll always love you in my own peculiar way
And though I may not always be the way you'd have me be
And though my faults may grow in number day by day
Let no one ever say that I've ever been untrue
I'll always love you in my own peculiar way
I'll always love you in my own peculiar way

When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life

Many people just like me
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life

Listen to the blues that they're playin'
Listen what the blues are sayin'

Life is just another scene
In this old world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life

Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Oh, but it's my life

Yeah, it's my life

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

They're working while I'm missing you those healing hands of time
And soon they'll be dismissing you from this heart of mine
They'll lead me safely through the night and I'll follow as though blind
My future tightly clutched within those healing hands of time
They let me close my eyes just then those healing hands of time
And soon they'll let me sleep again those healing hands of time
So already I've reached mountain peaks and I've just begun to climb
I'll get over you by clinging to those healing hands of time
I'll get over you by clinging to those healing hands of time

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

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.)

Oh, look around you
Look down the bar from you
The lonely faces that you see
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

These are your friends
But are they real friends
Do they love you the same as me
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

You seem in such a hurry to live this kind of life
You've caused so many tears and misery

Look around you, take a good look
And tell me what you see
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

Don't let my tears persuade you, I had hoped I wouldn't cry
But lately, teardrops seem a part of me

Oh, look around you, take a good look
At all the lonely used-to-be's
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

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...

Now that I've made up my mind you're gone
It should be easier now
Perhaps now my heart will stop hangin' on
It should be easier now
The lesson I learned from you gold can't buy
A heart can be broken and still survive
Thanks to you now a much wiser man am I
And it should be easier now
The worst now is over I've stood the test
It should be easier now
They say everything happens for the best
And it should be easier now
The wounds in my heart you carved deep and wide
Hollowed and washed by the tears that I've cried
Now there'll be more room for love inside
It should be easier now

My oatmeal tastes just like confetti
The coffee's too strong so forget it
The toast is burning
Well let it
There's just so much to do
Since you've gone
Too much to do all alone
My tie's lost
I can't find the sweater
There's the doorbell
I hope that's your letter
My head aches
I hope I feel better
There's just so much to do
Since you've gone
Too much to do all alone
So much to do since you've gone
Too much to do all alone
And time time rolls on
Like a river and oh
There's just so much to do
And I just can't do without you

Do you remember how they warned you once before
They made it clear you weren't to see me anymore
Within your world of riches poor boys aren't allowed
And you must learn to love someone within your crowd
And though I love you more than I could ever say
The danger's much too great and you can't stay
You could never stand dishonor you're too proud
So you must learn to love someone within your crowd
[ steel ]
Someday you'll find someone deserving of your love
Someone to kiss the lips that I'm not worthy of
And when I see you passing by I'll feel so proud
Although I stand outside my heart's within your crowd
