letra de Islands In The Stream
Baby, when I met you

There was peace unknown

I set out to get you

With a fine tooth comb

I was soft inside

There was something going on

You do something to me

That I can't explain

Hold me closer and I feel no pain

Every beat of my heart

We got something going on

Tender love is blind

It requires a dedication

All this love we feel

Needs no conversation

We ride it together, ah-ha

Making love with each other, ah-ha

Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in between

How can we be wrong

Sail away with me

To another world

And we rely on each other, ah-ha

From one lover to another, ah-ha

I can't live without you

If the love was gone

Everything is nothing

If you got no one

And you just walk in the night

Slowly losing sight of the real thing

But that won't happen to us

And we got no doubt

Too deep in love and we got no way out

And the message is clear

This could be the year for the real thing

No more will you cry

Baby, I will hurt you never

We start and end as one

In love forever

We can ride it together, ah-ha

Making love with each other, ah-ha

Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in between

How can we be wrong

Sail away with me

To another world

And we rely on each other, ah-ha

From one lover to another, ah-ha

Sail away

[Instrumental Interlude]

Ooooh, come sail away with me

Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in between

How can we be wrong

Sail away with me

To another world

And we rely on each other, ah-ha

From one lover to another, ah-ha

Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in between

How can we be wrong

Sail away with me

To another world

And we rely on each other, ah-ha

From one lover to another, ah-ha

Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in between

Daytime FriendsVer letra

letra de Daytime Friends
And he'll tell her he's working late again

But she knows too well there's something going on

She's been neglected and she needs a friend

So her trembling fingers dial the telephone

And Lord it hurts her, doing this again

He's the best friend that her husband ever knew

When she's lonely, he's more than just a friend

He's the one she longs to give her body to

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers

Hoping no one else discovers

Where they go, what they do

In their secret hideaway

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers

They don't want to hurt the others

So they love in the nighttime

And shake hands in the light of day

And when it's over, there's no peace of mind

Just a longing for the way things should have been

And she wonders why some men never find

That a woman needs a lover and a friend

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers

She Believes In MeVer letra

[X]
letra de She Believes In Me
While she lays sleeping

I stay out late at night and play my songs

And sometimes all the nights can be so long

And it's good when I finally make it home, all alone

While she lays dreaming

I try to get undressed without the light

And quietly she says how was your night

And I come to her and say

It was all right, and I hold her tight

And she believes in me

I'll never know just what she sees in me

I told her someday if she was my girl

I could change the world

With my little songs, I was wrong

But she has faith in me

And so I go on trying faithfully

And who knows maybe on some special night

If my song is right

I can find a way

While she lays waiting

I stumble to the kitchen for a bite

And I see my old guitar in the night

Just waiting for me like a secret friend

And there's no end while she lays crying

I fumble with a melody or two

And I'm torn between the things that I should do

And she says to wake her up when I am through

God her love is true

And she believes in me

I'll never know just what she sees in me

I told her someday if she was my girl

I could change the world

With my little songs, I was wrong

But she has faith in me

And so I go on trying faithfully

And who knows maybe on some special night

If my song is right

I can find a way

While she waits

While she waits

For me

Love Will Turn You AroundVer letra

letra de Love Will Turn You Around
You can run

You can hide

Never let it inside

Keep livin' your life in the dark

But sooner or later that gentle persuader

Is gonna catch up with your heart

Make you a dreamer, believer

Believin' in love

Right when a man's doin' all that he planned

And he thinks he's got just what he needs

Life will deliver a shock that will shiver him

Drivin' him down to his knees

Make him start givin', livin'

Livin' again

Well it's your mind

That tricks you into leavin' every time

Love will turn you around

Turn you around

Well, it's your heart

That talks you into stayin' where you are

Love will turn you around

Turn you around

Out of the blue she reaches for you

And you tell her you don't have the time

So you move away fast

But you know it won't last

'Cause you can't get her off of your mind

Thoughts are burnin', turnin'

They're turnin' around

How do you know when to stay or to go

And how do you know when it's real

You don't need a sign to make up your mind

You got your heart at the wheel

You wanna start sharin', carin'

Carin' again

Well it's your mind

That tricks you into leavin' every time

Love will turn you around

Turn you around

Well, it's your heart

That talks you into stayin' where you are

Love will turn you around

Turn you around

Love will turn you around

Turn you around

Love will turn you around

Turn you around

Turn you around

The GreatestVer letra

letra de The Greatest
Little boy in a baseball hat stands in the field with his ball and bat

Says, "I am the greatest player of them all"

Puts his bat in his shoulder and he tosses up his ball.

And the ball goes up and the ball comes down,

Swings his bat all the way around

The world so still you can hear the sound, the baseball falls to the ground.

Now the little boy doesn't say a word, picks up his ball he is undeterred.

Says, "I am the greatest that there has ever been"

And he grits his teeth and he tries again.

And the ball goes up and the ball comes down,

Swings his bat all the way around

The world so still you can hear the sound, the baseball falls to the ground.

He makes no excuses he shows no fear

He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers.

Little boy he adjusts his hat, picks up his ball, stares at his bat

Says "I am the greatest when the game is on the line"

And he gives his all one last time.

And the ball goes up and the moon so bright

Swings his bat with all his might

The world's as still as still can be, the baseball falls

And that's strike three.

Now it's suppertime and his momma calls,

Little boy starts home with his bat and ball.

Says, "I am the greatest, that is a fact,

But even I didn't know I could pitch like that!"

Says, "I am the greatest, that is understood,

But even I didn't know I could pitch that good!"

letra de Love Or Something Like It
Show me a bar with a good looking woman

Then just get out of my way

Turn on the jukebox, I'll show you a song you should play

Sooner or later a few shots of Bourbon

And I'll think of somethin' to say

Whoa, I can take her or leave her

I'd like to take her away

Liquor and music, a good combination

If you've got love on the brain

I never knew two women who acted the same

Some want a drink first, and some want to just sit and talk

Whoa, oh, it's two in the mornin'

I'm running' and she wants to walk

Something's got a hold on me

It's cheap but it ain't free

Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me

That's when I asked her, my place or your place

I hope I'm not out of line

I asked the wrong thing, but just the right woman this time

She knew a hotel, she even had a name we could sign

Whoa, oh, the cheaper the grapes are, the sweeter the taste of the wine

Something's got a hold on me

It's cheap but it ain't free

Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me

Something's got a hold on me

It's cheap but it ain't free

Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me

Love or somethin' damn near like it's got a hold on me

Through The YearsVer letra

letra de Through The Years
I can't remember when you weren't there

When I didn't care for anyone but you

I swear we've been through everything there is

Can't imagine anything we've missed

Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Through the years

You've never let me down

You turned my life around

The sweetest days I've found

I've found with you

Through the years

I've never been afraid

I've loved the life we've made

And I'm so glad I stayed

Right here with you

Through the years

I can't remember what I used to do

Who I trusted, who I listened to before

I swear you've taught me everything I know

Can't imagine needing someone so

But through the years it seems to me

I need you more and more

Through the years

Through all the good and bad

I know how much we had

I've always been so glad

To be with you

Through the years

It's better everyday

You've kissed my tears away

As long as it's okay

I'll stay with you

Through the years

Through the years

When everything went wrong

Together we were strong

I know that I belong

Right here with you

Through the years

I never had a doubt

We'd always work things out

I've learned what life's about

By loving you

Through the years

Through the years

You've never let me down

You turned my life around

The sweetest days I've found

I've found with you

Through the years

It's better everyday

You've kissed my tears away

As long as it's okay

I'll stay with you

Through the years

LucilleVer letra

letra de Lucille
In a bar in Toledo

Across from the depot

On a bar stool she took off her ring

I thought I'd get closer

So I walked on over

I sat down and asked her name

When the drinks finally hit her

She said I'm no quitter

But I finally quit livin' on dreams

I'm hungry for laughter

And here ever after

I'm after whatever the other life brings

In the mirror I saw him

And I closely watched him

I thought how he looked out of place

He came to the woman

Who sat there beside me

He had a strange look on his face

The big hands were calloused

He looked like a mountain

For a minute I thought I was dead

But he started shakin'

His big heart was breakin'

He turned to the woman and said

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

With four hungry children

And a crop in the field

I've had some bad times

Lived through some sad times

But this time your hurtin' won't heal

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

After he left us

I ordered more whisky

I thought how she'd made him look small

From the lights of the bar room

To a rented hotel room

We walked without talkin' at all

She was a beauty

But when she came to me

She must have thought I'd lost my mind

I could'nt hold her

'Cos the words that he told her

Kept coming back time after time

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

With four hungry children

And a crop in the field

I've had some bad times

Lived through some sad times

But this time your hurtin' won't heal

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

Coward Of The CountyVer letra

[X]
letra de Coward Of The County
Everyone considered him

The coward of the county.

He'd never stood one single time

To prove the county wrong.

His mama named him Tommy,

But folks just called him Yellow.

Something always told me

They were reading Tommy wrong.

He was only ten years old

When his daddy died in prison.

I looked after Tommy

'Cause he was my brother's son.

I still recall the final words

My brother said to Tommy,

"Son, my life is over,

But yours has just begun.

Promise me, son,

Not to do the things I've done.

Walk away from trouble if you can.

It won't mean you're weak

If you turn the other cheek.

I hope you're old enough to understand:

Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."

There's someone for everyone,

And Tommy's love was Becky.

In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man.

One day while he was working

The Gatlin boys came calling.

They took turns at Becky.

There was three of them.

Tommy opened up the door

And saw his Becky crying.

The torn dress, the shattered look

Was more than he could stand.

He reached above the fireplace

And took down his daddy's picture.

As his tears fell on his daddy's face

He heard these words again,

"Promise me, son,

Not to do the things I've done.

Walk away from trouble if you can.

Now it won't mean you're weak

If you turn the other cheek.

I hope you're old enough to understand:

Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."

The Gatlin boys just laughed at him

When he walked into the bar room.

One of them got up

And met him half way 'cross the floor.

When Tommy turned around they said,

"Hey, look, old Yellow's leaving."

But you could've heard a pin drop

When Tommy stopped and locked the door.

Twenty years of crawling

Was bottled up inside him.

He wasn't holding nothing back,

He let 'em have it all.

When Tommy left the bar room

Not a Gatlin boy was standing.

He said, "This one's for Becky,"

As he watched the last one fall.

N' I heard him say,

"I promised you, Dad,

Not to do the things you've done.

I walk away from trouble when I can.

Now please don't think I'm weak.

I didn't turn the other cheek.

And, Papa, I sure hope you understand:

Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man."

Everyone considered him

The coward of the county.

letra de Lady
Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you

You have made me what I am and I am yours

My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you

Let me hold you in my arms forever more

You have gone and made me such a fool

I'm so lost in your love

And oh, we belong together

Won't you believe in my song

Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never find you

You have come into my life and made me whole

Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning

Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear

In my eyes I see no one else but you

There's no other love like our love

And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me

I've waited for you for so long

Lady, your love's the only love I need

And beside me is where I want you to be

'Cause, my love, there's something I want you to know

You're the love of my life, you're my lady

Girl, there are no words to say

What I feel in my heart

You, you're on my mind night and day

And it hurts me when we're apart

When you're not here by my side

There is nothing in this world for me.

I guess I'm crazy

Crazy for you can't you see

Although you may think it's crazy

Here it's where I want to be

I will always need your love.

Well now, I can see every dream

When I look in your eyes

And though, things never are what they seem

There is one thing that I realize

That there's no doubt in my mind

We can make this love go on forever.

I guess I'm crazy

Crazy for you can't you see

Although you may think it's crazy

Here it's where I'll always be

And I need you with me

Cos you are the dream

That finally came true in me

In all my life there'll be no one else

If I looked all my life

There could be no one else

And for the rest of my life

All I need is you.

The GamblerVer letra

letra de The Gambler
On a warm summer's evening

On a train bound for nowhere

I met up with a gambler

We were both too tired to sleep

So we took turns a-starin'

Out the window at the darkness

The boredom overtook us

And he began to speak

He said, "Son, I've made a life

Out of readin' people's faces

And knowin' what the cards were

By the way they held their eyes.

So if you don't mind my sayin'

I can see you're out of aces

For a taste of your whiskey

I'll give you some advice."

So I handed him my bottle

And he drank down my last swallow

Then he bummed a cigarette

And asked me for a light

And the night got deathly quiet

And his face lost all expression

Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy,

You gotta learn to play it right.

You got to know when to hold 'em,

Know when to fold 'em,

Know when to walk away,

And know when to run.

You never count your money

When you're sittin' at the table.

There'll be time enough for countin'

When the dealing's done.

Every gambler knows

That the secret to survivin'

Is knowin' what to throw away

And knowin' what to keep.

'Cause every hand's a winner,

And every hand's a loser,

And the best that you can hope for

Is to die in your sleep."

And when he finished speakin'

He turned back toward the window

Crushed out his cigarette

And faded off to sleep

And somewhere in the darkness

The gambler he broke even

And in his final words

I found an ace that I could keep

You got to know when to hold 'em

Know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away

And know when to run

You never count your money

When you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin'

When the dealing's done

You've got to know when to hold 'em

(When to hold 'em)

Know when to fold 'em

(When to fold 'em)

Know when to walk away

And know when to run

You never count your money

When you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin'

When the dealing's done

You got to know when to hold 'em

Know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away

And know when to run

You never count your money

When you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin'

When the dealing's done

You Decorated My LifeVer letra

letra de You Decorated My Life
All my life was a paper

Once plain, pure and white

Till you moved with your pen

Changing moods now and then

Till the balance was right

Then you added some music

Every note was in place

And anybody could see

All the changes in me

By the look on my face

And you decorated my life

Created a world where dreams are a part

And you decorated my life

By painting your love all over my heart

You decorated my life

Like a rhyme with no reason

And an unfinished song

There was no harmony

Life meant nothing to me

Until you came along

And you brought out the colors

What a gentle surprise

Now I'm able to see

All the things life can be

Shining soft in your eyes

And you decorated my life

Created a world where dreams are a part

And you decorated my life

By painting your love all over my heart

You decorated my life
