A Place to Fall Apart - Merle Haggard

You told you would take me Past the battles and the scars Round the corners of the galaxy to end up in your heart And I dunno, I dunno what to say But what if I told you I was already there When I lay down at night I close my eyes and all I see is you and I We're dancing through the stars And we're holding on To all the shiny in-betweens But you and I We were made to fall apart Don't want this dream to be over 'Cause then reality would start And I'm not brave enough to leave you Just to wake up in the dark So I'm not done with you tonight And I don't care if we're both Just making this harder to say goodbye The whole damn universe can watch me cry We're dancing through the stars And we're holding on To all the shiny in-betweens But you and I, we were made to fall apart 'Cause we belong to different worlds, Different spaces, different times But I've never felt more Like I belong with someone else Than when I'm right by your side And it's like you're the sun, I'm the moon We eclipse, but it's over too soon So I miss you when I'm with you 'cause I know that We're just here to say goodbye You told you would take me Past the battles and the scars Round the corners of the galaxy to end up in your heart And I dunno, I dunno what to say But what if I told you I was already there When I lay down at night I close my eyes and all I see is you and I We're dancing through the stars And we're holding on To all the shiny in-betweens But you and I We were made to fall apart

When LEONARD finally came to California He was twenty-one years old as I recall He loved to write a song and pick the guitar And he came to hang a Gold one on the wall. The town in which he lived is not important But you'll know which town I mean by the time I'm thru He soon became a famous entertainer But LEONARD was a name he never used He was on his way to having what he wanted Just about as close as one could be Hey! once he even followed Elvis Presley And he wrote a lot of country songs for me. But he laid it all aside to follow Jesus For years he chose to let his music go But preaching wasn't really meant for LEONARD But how in the hell was LEONARD s'posed to know. Well, life began to twist its way around him And I wondered how he carried such a load He came back again to try his luck in music And lost his wife and family on the road. SPOKEN: (After that he seemed to bog down even deeper And I saw what booze and pills could really do And I wondered if I'd ever see him sober But I forgot about a Friend that LEONARD knew.) Well, LEONARD gave me lots of inspiration He helped teach me how to write a country song And he even brought around a bag of groceries Hey! back before Muskogee came along. Really I'm not trying to hide his showname Or the town in which this episode began SPOKEN: (Somehow I had to write a song for old Tommy) If just to see the smilin' faces in the band. When LEONARD finally came to California He was twenty-one years old as I recall And he loved to write a song and pick the guitar And he came to hang a Gold one on the wall.

(James Pierpont) Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh. Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go laughing all the way Bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh --- Instrumental --- Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh.

All'alba, prima che il sole sorgesse E gli uccelli cantassero la loro dolce canzone La donna del troll della montagna con lingua falsa Ed ingannevole propose al signore: Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no? Ti darò i dodici mulini Che stanno tra Tillo e Terno Le macine sono fatte del più rosso rame E le ruote sono cariche d'argento Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no? Se tu fossi una donna cristiana Riceverei volentieri regali così, Ma io so che sei il peggiore troll della montagna Figlio degli spiriti maligni e del demonio. Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darà? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no? Ti darò i dodici mulini Che stanno tra Tillo e Terno Le macine sono fatte del più rosso rame E le ruote sono cariche d'argento Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò? Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no Farai così o no?
