Don't know why but the one I love left me
Left me lonely and cold and so weak
And I need someone's arms to hold me
Till I'm strong enough to get back on my feet
Can I sleep in your arms tonight Mister
It's so cold lying here all alone
And I have no hold to hold on you
I assure you I'll do you no wrong
I haven't smiled since he left me
Cause a smile somehow seems out of place
And I just need two lips to kiss me
Then I can smile again and I can show my face
Can I sleep in your arms tonight Mister...

Can't you tell my love's a growing
Can't you see it ain't it showing
Oh you must be a knowing
I've got a big big love
It's not the kind to be concealing
Just the kind to be revealing
It's not a little bitty feeling
I've got a big big love
I think it's time we done some walking
I think it's time we done some talking
Well there's a great big moon above
But we've got a big big love
This is not infatuation
But it's true love sensation
Not just my imagination
I've got a big big love for you
[ instrumental ]
Can't you tell my love's a growing...
It's not the kind to be concealing
Just the kind to be revealing
It's not a little bitty feeling
I've got a big big love
I think it's time we done some walking
I think it's time we done some talking
Well there's a great big moon above
But we've got a big big love
This is not infatuation...

Once he thought I hung the moon
Now he sings a different tune
Looking back I can't see I let him down
I've gone a little crazy since I lost my baby
And now I feel like the biggest fool around
Mirror mirror on the wall who's the biggest fool of all
Who had true love but chose to lie and cheat
Mirror mirror on the wall who's the biggest fool of all
From where I stand it looks a lot like me
When I stood by his side
He loved me more than life
I couldn't see just what I had
Now it's too late
I face the cold hard facts
That he can't take me back
The bigger the fool the bigger chance they take
Mirror mirror on the wall who's the biggest fool of all...
From where I stand it's plain to see it's me

We were newlyweds but the house was old
The walls were thin and the floors were cold
But we never felt the winter chill we were too wrapped up
We warmed our hearts in a blanket of love
We were younger then, and times were lean
We didn't have a lot, but we had our dreams
And when the cold, hard rain fell on our roof
And the winds of life got rough
We sheltered our hearts beneath a blanket of love
Blanket of love blanket of love
We sheltered our hearts beneath a blanket of love
I remember the night the baby came
We both cried when we gave him his name
And when we laid him in the cradle
In the room that we fixed up
We wrapped our baby in the blanket of love
Blanket of love blanket of love
We wrapped our baby in the blanket of love
Looking back on where we started from
It's hard to believe how far we've come
And when I get down on my knees tonight
I'll thank the Lord above
For holding us together in the blanket of love
Blanket of love blanket of love
For holding us together in the blanket of love
It's you and me forever in the blanket of love

I've tried to put your memory behind me
But it follows me like an old caboose
My mind just can't seem to find peace
Cause my train of thought keeps rolling back to you
Your memory is like a locomotive
That never seems to run out of tracks
And no matter where I go it's waiting for me
I can keep moving but I'm always looking back
And I've tried to put your memory behind me
But it follows me like an old caboose
My mind just can't seem to find peace
Cause my train of thought keeps rolling back to you
I thought I'd lost you once in Louisiana
But when I hit Georgia you were on my mind
Now you been with me since Cincinnati
And you just crossed that Pennsylvania line
And I've tried to put your memory behind me...
I can carry you a load of heartaches
And a boxcar full of blues
And I'm still looking for some place
Where I can get over you I'm overdue
And I've tried to put your memory behind me...
Yes my train of thought
Keeps rolling back to you yeah yes you

I wish that I could fall in love today
But memories of you stand in the way
And I just can't make my heart find someone new
Cause it's always much too busy lovin' you
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then I awake and hear my poor heart say
I wish that I could fall in love today
I wish that I could fall in love today
But if I did, I know I wouldn't stay
Cause you'd come between us like you always do
Somehow they never measure up to you
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then I awake and hear my poor heart say
I wish that I could fall in love today
Oh I wish that I could fall in love today

I've been in love or thought I was, so many times
But until now it's never been
A lasting kind there'll be no more
Burning bridges or closing doors
Cause I don't have to say goodbye anymore
My heart is in the right place this time
I feel at home for the first time in my life
Now that I'm with you there's no doubt in my mind
My heart is in the right place this time
Loving you tells me the search is over now
I can't believe I'm living what I dreamed about
And I'll be standing by your side from now on
Here in love with you is where I belong
My heart is in the right place this time...
And now that I'm with you there's no doubt in my mind
My heart is in the right place this time

I dropped your name in Chicago
It's legally changed starting tomorrow
And the reason I called you tonight is just to explain
You'll be a free man in the morning
Are you happy now you got what you wanted
Your ticket to freedom is covered with stains
From the tears that I cried in Chicago
When I dropped your name
Oh what a shame
When true lovers start placing blame
On each other
And they go their own separate ways
And no love remains
Cause I dropped your name
And your ticket to freedom is covered with stains
From the tears that I cried in Chicago
When I dropped your name
And oh what a shame
When true lovers start placing blame
On each other
And they go their own separate ways
And no love remains
It ended last night your farewell party
For the rest of my life
I had to get started
And I celebrated alone with champagne
At a party last night in Chicago
When I dropped your name
At a party last night in Chicago
When I dropped your name

When I was a child and I would stumble
My mama she would come and drown my tears
And she'd say God has lots of ways to keep us humble
Then her arms would hold me near and she'd whisper in my ear
If we fall we will fly
Like a bird on the wing in the sky
Our pride it would break but we'll learn from our mistakes
If we fall if we fall
We will fly we will fly
When I was a young girl at the alter
And the man that I loved stood by my side
I told him of my fears that I might falter
And he said he understood but his love was mine for good
If we fall we will fly
Like two birds on the wing in the sky
If we trust each other's heart we'll never drift apart
If we fall if we fall
We will fly we will fly
We're all growing older every day
Closer to the end of this road we're on
But if the good lord's willing I will find my way
And when they lay my body down, my spirit will be gone home

'Cause when I fall (When I fall), I will fly (I will fly)
Like a bird on the wing in the sky
We should never be afraid 'cause a promise has been made
If we fall (If we fall), if we fall (If we fall)
If we fall (If we fall), we will fly (We will fly)
Like a bird on the wing in the sky
We don't have to be afraid 'cause a promise has been made
If we fall (If we fall), if we fall (If we fall)
We will fly-ay-ay, we will fly
We will fly-ay-ay, we will fly
We will fly-ay-ay, we will fly

I'll try if you try
It's too soon for goodbye
We'll survive I know we can
Till it's love again
Though life blows a cold wind
Don't break or give in
Like a willow we must bend
Till it's love again
I was once your heart's desire
Not so many dreams ago
And if there is still a fire
Deep down in your soul
And somehow some way
We'll make it I pray
It's too good to let it end
There's a rainbow round the bend
Just hold on to me my friend
Till it's love again
Just hold on to memy friend
Till it's love again
