Willie Nelson Album

Give me talkin' now
You tried to make her happy
You couldn't make her happy
Make way for a better man than you
You tried your brand of lovin'
She couldn't stand your lovin'
Make way for a better man than you
I held back cause you and I were friends
But old buddy this is where our friendship ends
I'm takin' over now those signals she keeps sendin' means your romance is endin'
Make way for a better man than you

[ guitar - steel ]

Those fancy words you told her
Were not enough to hold her
Make way for a better man than you
I guess you're in your lockout
You came to back and struck out
Make way for a better man than you
I held back cause you and I...
Make way for a better man than you

Some other world has all the sunshine
Cause there's no sunshine in mine
Out of the darkness came thunder and rain
Leavin' my dreams all in vain
Some other world there sleeps my darlin'
There where the skies are always blue
Why don't they take me out of this world
And let me find my sunshine with you

[ steel ]

Some other world there sleep...

Have I stayed away too long
Have I stayed away too long
If I came home tonight
Would you still be my darling
Or have I stayed away too long

The love light that shone so strong
Sweet love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight
Would that same light be shining
Or have I stayed away too long

I'm just outside of town
And I'll soon be at your door
But maybe I'd be wrong
To hurry there
I'd best keep out of town
And worry you no more
Maybe someone else
Has made you care

Have all of my dreams gone wrong
My beautiful dreams gone wrong
If I came home tonight w
Wuld you still be my darling
Or have I stayed away too long

If I came home tonight
Would you still be my darling
Or have I stayed away too long

I'm born to lose
I've lived my life in vain
Every dream
Has only brought me pain
All my life
I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm losing you

Born to lose
It seems so hard to bear
How I long
To always have you near
You've grown tired
And now you say we're through
Born to lose
And now I'm losing you

[ dobro ]

I'm born to lose
My every hope is gone
It's so hard to face
An empty dawn
And you were all
The happiness I knew
I'm born to lose
And now I'm losing you

I'll never understand, dear
As long as I live
I guess I will always wonder why
You told me that you loved me
With all of your heart
And then without a warning
Said goodbye
The lovin' lies that I believed
And now how I grieved
You didn't mean it from the start
And you told me lovin' lies
And broke my heart

[ steel ]

You say I'll soon forget you
And find someone new
But, darlin' now how wrong you are
I only had one love, dear
And that was for you
And from that love my heart
Will bear to start
The lovin' lies that I believed...
So you told me your lovin' lies
And broke my heart

I cried and cried my heart out
But what good does it do
Crying never bothers
Anyone so cold as you
I've thought the whole thing over
And now I'll go
And find a better place
Where angels heal
Broken hearts like mine
You made me live
You made me love
And now you'll make me die

I'll never live or love again
There's no need now to try
I'll say farewell to this old world
This is my last goodbye
You made me live
You made me love
And now you'll make me die

[ steel ]

And just for night is over
I'll never see the day
I'll hold your picture to my heart
Then I'll be on my way
I'll say farewell...

What now, my love
Now that you've left me
How can I live
Through another day
Watching my dreams
Turn into ashes
And my hopes
Into bits of clay

Once I could see
Once I could feel
Now I am numb
I've become unreal
I walk the night
Oh without a goal
Stripped of my heart
And my soul

What now, my love
Now that it's over
I feel the world
Closing in on me
Here come the stars
Tumbling around me
And there's the sky
Where the sea should be

What now, my love
Now that you're gone
I'd be a fool
To go on and on
No one would care
No one would cry
If I should live
If I should die

What now, my love
Now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye
Only my last...
My last goodbye

You taught me how to love
With all my heart
With all my soul
I trusted you
And now you say
We'll have to live apart
A thing I don't know
How to do

You said someday
I'd find somebody new
And I'll have
Not one regret
But stay a while
If what you say is true
Stay and teach me to forget

[ piano ]

You taught me how
To worship you alone
And now you say
You'll have to go
And people call me
On the telephone
Just to say I told you so

I know now that I
Only learned to live
On the night
When first we met
God above will teach me
To forgive
But stay
And teach me to forget
Please stay
And teach me to forget

Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin
I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted
The story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill

[ dobro ]

I've waited all through the years, love
To give you a heart true and real
Cause I know that you're living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window
And the trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill
In your loveless mansion on the hill

If it's wrong to love you
Wrong I'll always be
And though the world may scorn me
Darling, can't you see
If it's wrong to want you
When my day is through
Gladly I will pay for
All my dreams of you
And though we met too late, dear
And you'll never know
That without a right to
I have loved you so
I can't change my heart now
You're a part of me
So if it's wrong to love you
Wrong I'll always be

[ guitar ]

And though we met too late, dear
And you'll never know
That without a right to
I have loved you so
I can't change my heart now
You're a part of me
So if it's wrong to love you
Wrong I'll always be

Have I told you lately that I love you
Could I tell you once again somehow
Have I told you how with all my heart
And soul I need you
Well darling I'm telling you now
My heart would break in two if I should lose you I'm no good without you anyhow
Have I told you lately that I love you
Well, darling, I'm telling you now

[ steel - guitar ]

Have I told you lately when I'm sleeping
Every dream that I dream is you somehow
And have I told you how my every thought
Is in your keeping
Well, darling, I'm telling you now
My world would end today if I should lose you
Cause I'm no good without you anyhow
Have I told you lately that I love you
Well, darling, I'm telling you now

If you can truthfully say that
You've been true just one day
Well that makes one in a row
One in a row, one in a row
And if you can look into my eyes
One time without telling lies
Well that makes one in a row
One in a row, one in a row
Why do I keep loving you after all
The things you do
And just one time come into my arms
And be glad that you're in my arms
That will make one in a row
One in a row, one in a row
Why do I keep lovin' you...
One in a row, one in a row
