Elvira
Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire for Elvira.
Eyes that look like heaven lips like cherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
'Cause I know that my Elvira's mine
So I’m singin'
Elvira, Elvira, my heart's on fire for Elvira
Giddy Up, Oom Poppa Oom Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up, Oom Poppa Oom Poppa Mow Mow
High-ho Silver away
Tonight I'm gonna meet her at the Hungry House Cafe
I'm gonna give her all the love I can, yes I am
She's gonna jump and holler
’Cause I’ve saved up my last two dollars
We're gonna search and find that preacher man
And I’m singin’

Somewhere In The Night
Somewhere in the night
When you're feelin' safe and warm
Don't be surprised to find
It’s a calm before the storm
Somewhere in the night
It's gonna hit like lightnin'
It's gonna be so frightnin'
When you find your love is gone
Somewhere in the night
There's a lady lost and lonely
She used to be your one and only
But that was yesterday
Somewhere in the night
There's a new romance unfoldin'
Some lucky stranger's holdin'
What you threw away
You think you'll do alright without her (without her)
You haven't begun to think about her (about her)
But somewhere in the night
It's gonna be over (over) over (over) over (over)
Somewhere in the night
There's a memory right behind you
You can bet it's gonna find you
Wonderin' what went wrong
Somewhere in the night
It's gonna hit like lightnin'
It's gonna be so frightnin'
When you find your love is gone

She's Gone To L.A. Again
She’s gone to L.A. again
That’s lost angel to me
This time she won’t be coming home
That’s what the note said she left
Under the key
It was good while it lasted
But it’s gone
She always dreamed of the lifestyle
In Southern California
She said that she’d live there some day
And I hope that she finds
What she’s looking for
She’s found a place
In my heart she’ll always stay
She’s a hard loving woman
But she’s looking for more than love
She needs a life of her own
She has to spread her wings
And fly her way
I still love her
Though she’s left me here alone
|
When I'm With You
I know it’s late to be calling
But I just can’t get to sleep
I’ve got something heavy on my mind
And I’m afraid it just won’t keep
You always understand my feelings
And you love the hurt away
There’s not a single doubt left in my mind
With you is where I need to stay
When I’m with you
I find myself believing
In your love, just enough
To make my dream come true
When I’m with you
I wonder where dreams stop and you begin
Time and again
The dream comes true for me when I’m with you
My cup is full and running over
With sweet love that came from you
What I’m saying’s coming from my heart
I’ll be forever loving you
The dream comes true for me when I’m with you
|
Another Dream Just Came True
I was lonely and downhearted
The night your loving took me by surprise
But now I know that my life started
The moment I first looked into your eyes
Another dream just came true
Another dream just came true
Right out of the blue
Another dream just came true
Another dream just came true
Another dream just came true
Lying next to you
Another dream just came true
Never thought that I would find anyone
Who could be so much a lover and a friend
But now I know I’ve found my own special one
And I won’t ever have to look again
|
I'm Settin' Fancy Free
I’m settin' fancy free because she wants to go
She's tired of loving me, she told me so
I guess she don't know just how much she means to me
But along with all my dreams I’m setting fancy free
Yes I’m settin' fancy free even though I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will
Even though that girl, she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I’m settin' fancy free
Oh Lord you just don't know how it hurts to say goodbye
She did her best to stay, I can't say she did not try
I just hope the road she takes leads back to me
So along with all my dreams I’m settin' fancy free
|
Dream Of Me
My life on the road girl
Has always been hard on me and you
Every time we say goodbye
It gets harder to do
But when I’m far away somewhere alone
And the missing you starts
All I’ve got to do is picture you
And I can feel you in my heart
So dream of me
Every time you get to feelin' blue
Dream of me
And I’ll be dreaming of you
I’ve been a lot of places
There’s just no place like home
And I’m always on my way back to you
Every minute that I’m gone
So when you get to feelin' lonely
Just remember we won’t always be apart
Close your eyes and think of me
And you can feel me in your heart

When Love Calls You
When you cross my mind
I hear the echo and I feel the night
I held your hand and said I’m so in love with you
But you didn’t love me too
You said love makes you sad
Well there’s something you should know
In the end it’s really all you have to show
So don’t turn away
When love calls you
Show your hearts true
Open up and let her in
Then the lesson will begin
She’ll unfold you
She’ll control you
But the times you’ll have to show
Are the best you’ll ever know
I hope love calls you
When you cross my heart
There’s still a tenderness I feel
It’s a feeling that I try to share with you
But you didn’t want to
Now some would say I lost
But knowing love was worth the cost
And if she would call my name again today
I’d have to say
|
How Long Has It Been
Hey my old lover and friend
How long has it been
Since we laid together
You know how I'd love
To see you again
How long has it been
Another sunset and though you’re far away
It’s hard to forget the good days we spent
I can’t help myself when from time to time
The memories swell, there’s no one to tell
Now I know the chances are we gave it up too soon
When morning turned to afternoon
And soon the sun had set the good times slipped away
So I thought I’d call just to say
Days are short, nights are long
My dreams are all the same
Take me back to the days when we were young
Take me back
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
How long has it been

I Would Crawl All The Way (To The River)
A long time ago there was a Man
Who laid down His life on the line
He claimed He could make the lame walk again
And give back the sight to the blind
Now some people loved Him
Some people wanted to take Him and put Him away
Well I wasn’t there to see what he did
But if He were right here today
I would crawl all the way to the river
I would crawl all the way to the sea
Just to watch Him walk on the water
And lay His loving hands on me
A carpenter by trade but the kingdom that He made
Was made without hammer and nails
It stands like a rock through the ages of time
It was built with the Love that never fails
I’ve read in the Good Book that some day He’s coming
And some say it ain’t far away
But the day that He stands on the banks of the Jordan
This sinner will be on his way
Thanks to Jim Story for his assistance with these
