You tell me today that you're leaving
But just think a while
I'm sure that you must know
Today might be the day that you walk away
But you left me a long, long time ago
Today's just the day that ends it all
Except the usual mem'ries
That always linger on
And today might be the day that you walk away
But you left me a long, long time ago
I stood with helpless hands
And watched me lose your love
A little more each day
Then it was gone
And I kept wond'rin'
Just how long until this day would come
Just how long could your pride keep hangin' on
So please don't say you're sorry
Don't say anything
Don't try to say why you must leave
Just go
And today might be the day that you walk away
But you left me a long, long time ago

Today as I walk through my garden of dreams
I'm alone in the sweet used-to-be
My past and my present are one and the same
And the future holds nothing for me
Yesterday's kisses still burning
And yesterday's mem'ries still find me
Scenes from the past keep returning
I've got a wonderful future behind me
[ steel ]
You say there is happiness waiting for me
But I know this is just fantasy
Let me trade one tomorrows for one yesterday
Live in my garden of dreams
Yesterday's kisses still burning
And yesterday's mem'ries still find me
Scenes from the past keep returning
I've got a wonderful future behind me
. . .

Take the ribbons from your hair shake 'em loose and let 'em fall
Let 'em fall against your chin like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time help me make it through the night
Well I don't care who's right or wrong and I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow cause tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night
[ guitar ]
Well I don't care who's right or wrong...
I can't stand to be alone help me make it through the night

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...
. . .

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...

Now there far from me there's an old holler tree
Where you lay down a dollar or two
You go round the bend and you come back again
With a jug of that good ole mountain dew
They call it that ole mountain dew Lord Lord and them that refuse it are few
I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug with that good ole mountain dew
The preacher came by with his head high said hi said his wife took down with the flu
And he thought that we're hard just to give him a quart
Of that good old mountain dew
Well we call it that ole mountain dew...
[ ac.guitar ]
My uncle Mort he's sawed off and he's short he measures bout four foot two
But he thinks he's a giant when you give him a pint of that good old mountain dew
Well we call it that ole mountain dew...
Hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug with that good ole mountain dew

Home is where you're happy and I'm happy here with you,
Or any place on earth that you may be.
Home is where you're happy, just any house will do,
And I'll feel at home as long as you're with me.
This room could not hold me for one short minute;
If you weren't here with me, I'd soon be gone.
That chair is just a chair when you're not in it.
It takes more than rooms and chairs to make a home.
Home is where you're happy and I'm happy here with you,
Or any place on earth that you may be.
Home is where you're happy, just any house will do,
And I'll feel at home as long as you're with me.
Time, someday, may cause this house to crumble,
But we'll move into another, love and all.
And if time, someday, should make your footsteps stumble,
I'll be there to catch you, should you fall.
Home is where you're happy and I'm happy here with you,
Or any place on earth that you may be.
Home is where you're happy, just any house will do,
And I'll feel at home as long as you're with me.

Yesterday, as I talked with a friend in town,
I forgot to remember that you'd gone.
For a moment, I found myself smilin',
But a moment isn't very long.
An' last night as I danced with a stranger,
An' she held her cheek close to my own,
For a moment, I almost forgot you,
But a moment isn't very long.
Every now an' then I get a chance to smile,
But those every now an' thens just last a little while.
An' tonight I've got a date with a new love,
But I know I'd do just as well at home.
For a moment, maybe I could forget you.
But a moment isn't very long.
Instrumental break.
Every now an' then I get a chance to smile,
But those every now an' thens just last a little while.
An' tonight I've got a date with a new love,
But I know I'd do just as well at home.
For a moment, maybe I could forget you.
But a moment isn't very long.

Well I can't read your mind
When you changed all the time
And I don't what's matter with you
I think I do my share to show that I care
So just tell me what do you want me to do
I've tried to be kind but it don't work sometimes
And you're not the same person that I knew
And tell me where should I start to return to your heart
And tell me what do you want me to do
What do you want me to do with the dreams that I own
Should I changed them to mem'ries and leave you alone
Maybe I'm not too smart I guess you know me by heart
And if my chances of winning are few
Let my heart step aside with what's left of my pride
And tell me what do you want me to do
Tell me what do you want me to do
. . .

You told me you'd love me forever
But the one in your arms is not me
So if this is what you refer to as love
Then I'd rather you didn't love me
I have waited so long for your love now
But I've made up my mind it can't be
For if I am just one of the many you love
Then I'd rather you didn't love me
How can I name the one to blame
I suppose it's the way you believe
But if this is what you refer to as love
Then I'd rather you didn't love me
[ steel ]
And if I am just one of the many you love
Then I'd rather you didn't love me
I'd rather you didn't love me
