Is There Anyway You'd Stay Forever

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

You're a man who does his walkin' like he's got someplace to go
You're a man who does his talkin' like you know something I don't know
You're a man whose hand I'd hold down any lonely road
Is there anyway you'd stay forever

Forever is a long long time could you take it
Forever is the only way I'm gonna make it
Oh the summer sky you and I we could break it
Is there anyway you’d stay forever

You're a man a woman can give it all to
You're a man who sets his woman free
You don't waste time telling lies you don't want to
Is there anyway you'd stay forever

Forever is a long long time could you take it
Forever is the only way I'm gonna make it
You and I the summer sky we could break it
Is there anyway you'd stay forever

(Is there anyway you'd stay forever
Is there anyway you'd stay forever)

I Hear A Song

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

Feel my temperature risin'
Feelin' like somethin's gone wrong
Feelin' so cold and unwanted
Feelin' that I'm lonely too long

I hear a song
I hear a singer

Feelin' so tired so weary
Of my heart not finding a home
Seein' your footsteps leadin' nowhere
For me for your child in my womb

I hear a song
I hear a singer

It is a singer who sang his own song
Could they not hear him
Or would they not listen
I would not give in on parts of that song

I hear a song I hear a singer
For it is a singer who sang his own song
His voice and his book says are all I can see
I will go softly singin' his song

I hear a song I hear a singer
It is a singer who sang his own song
Hmmhmm

Come On In

Bobby Braddock

© Tree Pub, BMI

If you've travelled too far come on in
If it's broken your heart come on in
If the one that you've walked with left you cold and alone
Take a hand gather round come on in

Come on in we've all been waiting
Don't you see someone you used to know
For each and everyone here came down your same dark road
Take a hand gather round come on in

Come on in we've all been waiting...
Come on in we've all been waiting...

You Ain't Never Been Loved (Like I'm Gonna Love You)

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

You ain't never been loved like I'm gonna love you
You ain't never had done what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna take love sweet love and wrap it around you
You'll know you've been loved before I get through

Funny how I answer everytime you call
Funny how no one else matters at all
Funny to see me do things I never would
Funny to have a feelin' so natural so good

You ain't never been loved like I'm gonna love you...

Love Is The Only Chain

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

I can't hold a man like you
I can't hold a man like you
You're as wild and as scared as a free runnin' stallion
I can't hold a man like you

Some women tried havin' your baby
Some women tried givin' money to you
Some women tried holdin' prayer in your family
Don't women know they can’t hold onto you

Love's the only chain boy
Oh love's the only chain
Love's the only chain boy
That can ever hold you

Oh let them keep their friends and their family
Let them keep all their money
I've got everything I ever needed
Cause love is my chain on you

Love's the only chain boy...
Love's the only chain boy...

I'm Not Lisa

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

I'm not Lisa my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue but mine won't leave you
Till the sunlight has touched your face

She was your mornin' light her smile told of no night
Your love for her grew with each risin' sun
And then one winter day his hand led her away
She left you here drownin' in your tears
Here where you've stayed for years
Cryin' Lisa Lisa

I'm not Lisa my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue but mine won't leave you
Till the sunlight shines through your face
I'm not Lisa

For The First Time

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

For the first time in a long time
I want the sunshine to shine on me
I want those hillsides to feel me walkin'
And I want your love all over me

Ten years ago I guess you know
I gave my hand to a man
Who left me here to grieve and never know
All my days have been black nights
My nights have been long days
But when I saw you I knew I'd love again

For the first time in a long time...
For the first time in a long time...

For the first time in such a long time
I want the sunshine to shine on me

Who Walks Through Your Memory (Billy Joe)

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

Who walks through your mem'ry Billy Joe
Who took you away from me just a minute ago
Who can come and take today away from me
Who walks through your mem'ry Billy Joe

There's a story that I've heard about you and a girl
They say that she outshined the rest a woman of the world
They say she found you strong and watched as you grew weak
They say she built you up then left you at her feet

Who walks through your mem'ry Billy Joe...
Who walks through your mem'ry Billy Joe...

What's Happened To Blue Eyes

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

What's happened to blue eyes has anyone seen him
Don't anyone tell me that he gave up on me
I'm lookin' for blue eyes has anyone known him
Is anyone knowin' if he's been lookin' for me

There was a time blue eyes said he'd love no other
His one and only love he swore I'd be
There was a time that his blue eyes saw clearer than mine did
Tears and rain years of pain bring me back this way

What's happened to blue eyes has anyone seen him...
What's happened to blue eyes

Storms Never Last

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

Storms never last do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you make the sun want to shine

I followed you down so many roads baby
I've picked wild flowers and sung you soft sad songs
And every road you took I know your search was for the truth
And the clouds brewing now won't be the last

Storms never last do they baby...

Hmm hmm hmm hmm...

Storms never last do they baby...

Hmm hmm hmm hmm...
