Where do you go when love has gone?
How do you feel when love is real?
How can you move on when love has gone,
and your heart reveals all your greatest fears?
It’s never too late for tears.

What do you do when love moves on,
and leaves you with your greatest fears?
And your heart tells you what you know is true
and have known for all these years.
It’s never too late for tears.

What do you feel when love is real?
When Cupid’s arrows become like spears.
And your heart tells you what you’ve known for years.
All you have feared coming true.
Your heart is breaking in two.
Listen to what your heart is telling you.
When the mist of love finally clears
it’s never too late for tears.

I’m goin’ back to Austin.
I’m a Texas man
Through and through.
Goin’ back to Austin.
Goin’ back to you.

Chorus
I shot a man in Reno.
The sheriff’s after me.
I didn’t mean to do it.
I wish they’d let me be.

Sonofabitch
I tried to get rich.
Worked hard in this old country.
But never found the solid ground.
Never got to find my bounty.

It’s a long way back to Austin,
but that is where I’m going.
I shot a man in Reno,
and that will be my ruin.

There was a girl in Reno.
She was working in a bar.
A drunk cowboy walked in one day.
and he went just too far.

I shot that man in Reno
The sheriff’s after me.
I didn’t mean to do it.
I wish they’d let me be.

She looked at me, and told that cowboy,
She had a guy with a gentle touch.
The cowboy said he didn’t care.
That did not mean too much.

He tried again to kiss that girl
I had to say to him,
Leave her alone, let her be.
That’s when he pulled his gun on me.

Now, the fastest gun is not
always the one that gets the hit.
I pulled my gun, pumped three shots
into that guy, and now he’s eating grit.

I shot that man in Reno
The sheriff’s after me.
I didn’t mean to do it.
I wish they’d let me be.

It’s a long way back to Austin
I’m a Texas man through and through.
Going back to Austin.
Wish I could be with you.

But I shot that man in Reno
The sheriff won’t let me be.
I didn’t want to do it.
But they will be hanging me.

I shot that man in Reno
The Sheriff won’t let me be.
I didn’t want to do it.
But they will be hanging me.

Remember last December
When snowflakes fell and glistened,
Carolers sang songs for every girl and boy.
We went out in the snow and listened.
Stars twinkling in the sky above.
Spreading happiness and joy.
All we need for Christmas is love.

Chorus
All we need for Christmas is love.
All we need for Christmas is love.
Snow is falling from above.
Christmas stars light the way.
Reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh.
All we need for Christmas is love.

This year we’re here again.
Christmas time is calling
Snow’s already falling.
Each star twinkling in the sky above
is another soul who’s telling us
all we need for Christmas is love.

Chorus
All we need for Christmas is love.
All we need for Christmas is love.
Snow is falling from above.
Christmas stars light the way.
Reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh.
All we need for Christmas is love.

Presents are ready for unwrapping
under the Christmas tree.
Stockings by the fireside hanging.
Carolers outside caroling.
Snowflakes falling from above tell us
all we need for Christmas is love.

I can’t believe
it’s Christmas Eve.
I’m sitting here
all alone
with you gone.

Chorus
It will be a sad and lonely Christmas without you.
No white Kentucky Christmas,
Christmas is only blue.

The presents are all wrapped
and around the Christmas tree.
The lights are on
but you are gone.
No longer here with me.

Chorus
It will be a sad and lonely Christmas without you.
No white Kentucky Christmas.
Christmas is only blue

We said what a year it will be.
We had New Year’s in St Louis.
Thanksgiving in Mississippi.
We were looking forward to
our Christmas in Kentucky

Chorus
It will be a sad and lonely Christmas without you.
No white Kentucky Christmas.
Christmas is only blue

I can’t believe
it’s Christmas Eve.
I’m sitting here
all alone
with you gone.

Chorus
It could be a sad and lonely Christmas without you.
No white Kentucky Christmas.
Christmas is only blue

But I won’t be sad.
I won’t be alone.
I will be glad.
I will remember all
the Christmases we had
in our old Kentucky home.

Our Kentucky Christmas

I was drinking in a bar in Nashville
It was getting close to midnight.
I was thinking I should get out of here
so I said to the bartender
give me just one more beer.

A girl was singing and dancing.
She danced good and was pretty too.
I sat and watched her swirl
then she sidled up to me.
She said: buy me a beer, cowboy,
and I will sing and dance for you.
I looked into her dark brown eyes.
Blond hair with the cutest curl.
I called out to the bartender
bring me two more beers, bartender,
one for me and one for
my honky-tonk girl.

We drank beer, and she told me her story.
She said my husband, he left me,
he took my heart, and he took my money,
he went off with a young, young girl
and left me sad and lonely.
So I come here to this bar, it's true
to sing and dance for cowboys
just like you.

This was all too sad to hear
but it's the same all over the world.
So I said bring me two more beers,
bartender, one for me and one for
my honky-tonk girl.

She said I get my kicks
from guitar licks.
So I come here to this bar,
for just a beer or two
and sometimes I will go home
with cowboys just like you.

It's the same all over the world
so I said, bartender, bring me
two more beers, one for me
and one for my
honky-tonk girl.

It's the same all over the world
so I said, bartender, bring me
two more beers, one for me
and one for my
honky-tonk girl.

Love is like a flame
that flickers in my heart.
When I hear your name,
it tears me apart.

Love burns, love burns
Love yearns, love turns

While my love may flicker.
While you could be gone.
Maybe it’s forever.
My love’s still burning on.

Love burns, love burns
Love yearns, love turns

Love is like a flame
Burning in my soul.
I wish I could see you again
before my heart grows cold

Love burns, love burns
Love yearns, love turns

Love is like a flame
that flickers in my heart.
My heart still yearns.
The flame still burns.
For you.

Love is like a flame

The river is wide
Anthony Hawkins

Take me to the river
Lay me down, let me sleep
Take me to the river
The river is wide, the river is deep.

Chorus
The river is long, hallelujah
The river is wide, hallelujah
The Lord is waiting, hallelujah
on the other side.

You may say I’m a sinner
I have nothing more to hide
Help me cross the river
The Lord is waiting on the other side.

Chorus
The river is long, hallelujah
The river is wide, hallelujah
The Lord is waiting, hallelujah
on the other side.

You may say I’m a sinner
Forgive all I did that’s wrong
Help me cross the river
Bathe my soul in song.

Chorus
The river is long, hallelujah
The river is wide, hallelujah
The Lord is waiting, hallelujah
on the other side.
