Willie Nelson Album

Deep within my heart lies a melody a song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I lived with a memory beneath the stars all alone
Cause it was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
And that moonlit pass beside the Alamo and rose my Rose of San Antone
Moon and all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love my own
Broken song empty words I know still live in my heart all alone
And that moonlit pass beside the Alamo and rose my Rose of San Antone
[ guitar - steel - fiddle ]
Well now moon and all your splendor...
Rose my Rose of San Antone rose my Rose of San Antone

There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
Never have seen a river that's too wide
There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me
Ain't no man big enough to stop me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
There ain't no rope stout enough to bind me
Look for me, honey, you will find me
Any old time, get ready with your charm
I'll be there ready and a-waiting
There won't be any hesitating
I'll be there if you ever want me in your arms
Love me, if you're ever going to love me
Never have seen a road too rough to ride
There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side

I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend

You want me to act
Like we've never kissed
You want me to forget
Pretend we've never met
And I try and I try
But I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces

solo

I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only acts to the play

You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who loves me too
The way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces

Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
And you're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

[ steel ]

So please take these treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday these crazy arms will hold somebody new but now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to...
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

Release me darling let me go I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin release and let me love again
Oh I have found a new love dear and I'll always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold release me darling let me go
Please release me let me go I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin release and let me love again
Please release me let me go...

You make my eyes run over all the time and you're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me but you won't let me be don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
You must think that I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me have one in such a long long while
Still I keep running back how can this be don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
[ steel ]
You must think that I look bad...
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me

The sun goes down it leaves me sad and blue
The iron curtain falls on this cold war with you
Through you won't speak and I won't speak that's true
Two stubborn people with a cold war to go through
Why oh why should love ever come to couples like you and me
Whose cold cold wars are never won and whose hearts just can't be free
Oh let's do right or let's just say we're through
I just can't stand another cold cold war with you

[ guitar - steel ]

Why oh why should love ever come to couples like you and me
Whose cold cold wars are never won and whose hearts just can't be free
Oh let's do right or let's just say we're through
I just can't stand another cold cold war with you

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

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

I'm drifting into deep water
I'm starting to care for you
And you're getting me in deep water
Be careful what you do.

You want a romance
and I'm sick in love
I know I'll regret it when it ends
I'm drifting into deep water
Why can't we still be friends.

It's so restless in this deep water
And I'm caught between right and wrong
My love's as true as deep water
Your love won't last that long.

Where will it lead me and when will it end
I can't help but wish I only knew
And I'm drifting into deep water
So deep in love with you.

I'm winding up in deep water
So deep in love with you.

As I look at the letters that you wrote to me
It's you that I am thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so sweet
I remember our faded love

I miss you darling more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat I still think of you
And remember our faded love

As I think of the past and all the pleasures we had
As I watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime when you said goodbye
I remember our faded love

I miss you darling more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat I still think of you
And remember our faded love
