As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe,
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and prayin' for someone to care
Always movin' and goin' nowhere
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me, please
I'm searching though I don't succeed
for someones love
There's a growing need
all is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking everyday
I know I've got to find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere
Well there you are
And here am I
We are what we decided
Alone behind a wall of pride
Hopelessly divided
We had so much together baby
What got into us
How could we just call it quits
We should have called the love
We could have been the closest of friends
We might have been the world's greatest lovers
But now we're just without each other
We could have been the closest of friends
I could say you did me wrong
You could say you didn't
And we could sit and hold our tongues
And act like little children
I could say you never really loved
And you could say the same
But if it's really over
Then who cares who was to blame
We could have been the closest of friends
We might have been the world's greatest lovers
But now we're just without each other
We could have been the closest of friends
Ohh oh
We could have been the closest of friends
We might have been the world's greatest lovers
But now we're just without each other
We could have been the closest of friends
Yes there are many precious mem'ries that I'd like to recall
And there are some things that I would surely like to forget
I've been up Lord I've been down and sometimes just in between
But you know something neighbors I haven't reached to my highest mountain yet
Yes I know Gods bless me time and time and time and time again
And these blessings for exceeding my deepest woe
I've had the help of loved ones and many friends who stood by me
And without their favor I would have given up a long long time ago
I remember my boyhood days back in Ferriday Louisiana
The long hot summer and that cool Louisiana rain
You know sometimes I wish I could go back and relive yesterday
Oh Lord and for a while be mama's little boy again
You know folks the things that matter most in this old world money just can't buy
Sweet love precious mem'ries that will live on and on and on
And I remember Lord when I stumble sometimes fall I wonder why
Then I'll then I'll never never never walk alone
Yes these are the things that matter most to me
Precious mem'ries from your friend Jerry Lee
My Love Said to Me,
"A Hero You'll Be,
If You Bring Me the Rose of Love."
So, Today I Must Go Where the Wide Riv-ers Flow
Down From the Hills Above.
From Beginning to End,
Who Will Guide Me, My Friend,
For the Difficult Task That She Chose?
Will the Sun and the Rain,
From Whose Bosom I Came,
Show Me the Way to the Rose?
For My True Love I Yearn,
But I'll Never, Ever Return,
Till I Find Where That Red Lady Grows.
When I Find Her, I'll Sing,
And the Mission Bells Will Ring
The News That I've Captured the Rose.
I wake from trouble sleep
in the middle of the night
Reaching for the soft hand
that once held mine so tight
My fingers touch the pillow
where you once layed your head
And I run my hand down
the cold cold sheets
on your side of the bed
My head spins from
the perfume
that lingers every place
And I kiss the trace
of lipstick
left on your pillow case
And here in this nightmare
of darkness
I remember the day we wed
And I clutch and tear
at the tear stained sheets
on my side of the bed
My arms long to hold you
my lips hunger for your kiss
And I just couldn't
stand to go through
another lonely night like this
These hands that once
coressed you
take a bottle from the drawer
It says take one for sleeping
but I'm taking many more
What good is there
in living if the dreams
we shed are dead
So now at last
I lay me down to sleep
on you side of the bed
That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up
and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
The same old tingle that I feel
inside
When that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go, round and round I go
Like a leaf that's
caught in the tide
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name, and I'm aflame
Aflame with
such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire
You are the lover that I've waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby down and down I go,
all around I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love
Sugar, ah, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
Honey, ah, sugar, sugar
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you
(I just can't believe it's true)
I just can't believe the wonder of this feeling to
(I just can't believe it's true)
Ah, sugar, ah, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
Oh, honey, ah, sugar, sugar
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
When I kissed you girl I knew how sweet a kiss could be
(I know how sweet a kiss can be)
Like the summer sunshine pour you sweetness over me
(Pour your sweetness over me)
(Oh, sugar)
Pour a little sugar on it , honey
Pour a little sugar on it , baby
I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah,yeah,yeah
Pour a little sugar on it, oh, yeah
Pour a little sugar on it , honey
Pour a little sugar on it, baby
I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah sugar, ah, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
Oh, honey, honey, sugar,sugar
Honey, honey, sugar, sugar
You are my candy girl
