By the time I get to Phoenix She'll find the note I left hanging on her door She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving 'Cause I've left that gal so many times before By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing Off the wall, that's all By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping She'll turn softly, call my name out low And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her Though time and time I've tried to tell her so She just didn't know I would really go

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin' 'Cause I've left that girl so many times before By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin' Off the wall that's all By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin' She'll turn softly and call my name out loud And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her Tho' time and time I try to tell her so She just didn't know I would really go

See the tree, how big it's grown But friend it hasn't been too long It wasn't big I laughed at her and she got mad The first day that she planted it, was just a twig Then the first snow came And she ran out to brush the snow away So it wouldn't die Came runnin' in all excited Slipped and almost hurt herself And I laughed till I cried She was always young at heart Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so And I surprised her with a puppy Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago And it would sure embarrass her When I came in from workin' late 'Cause I would know That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' Over some sad and silly late, late show And honey, I miss you And I'm bein' good And I'd love to be with you If only I could She wrecked the car and she was sad And so afraid that I'd be mad But what the heck Though I pretended hard to be Guess you could say she saw through me And hugged my neck I came home unexpectedly And caught her cryin' needlessly In the middle of the day And it was in the early Spring When flowers bloom and robins sing She went away And honey, I miss you And I'm bein' good And I'd love to be with you If only I could One day while I was not at home While she was there and all alone The angels came Now all I have is memories of Honey And I wake up nights and call her name Now my life's an empty stage Where Honey lived and Honey played And love grew up And a small cloud passes overhead And cries down on the flower bed That Honey loved And see the tree how big it's grown But friend it hasn't been too long It wasn't big And I laughed at her and she got mad The first day that she planted it, was just a twig

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover You'll know who I am by the song that I sing I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover Who cares what the morrow shall bring? Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine I can't be contented with yesterday's glory I can't live on promises winter to spring (winter to spring) Today is my moment and now is my story I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Ere I forget all the joy that is mi-uh-ine today

It's Too Late Bobby Goldsboro I remember when I told you That I tried in every way To hold you and kiss you and love you and keep you till my dying day You just laughed And said you found somebody new And you didn't need all the things I could do. Now you found out that your new love Isn't true like he should be You say that you're gonna forget him and you're gonna come back to me Well things have changed And I've found me somebody new Someone to make me forget about you And I'm telling you That it's too late to say you're sorry It's too late to say you're mine I have found myself a new love And I'm going to make her mine It's too late It's too late Many days I tried to call you Many nights I spent alone Everyone knew that I loved you but you had a love of your own. But now that it's gone You think you can come back to me But I'm not the same fool that I used to be And you're gonna see That it's too late to say you're sorry It's too late to say you're mine I have found myself a new love And I'm going to make her mine It's too late It's too late To say you're mine From: "J. Farmer"

And I wake up in the morning With my hair down in my eyes and she says "Hi" And I stumble to the breakfast table While the kids are going off to school "Goodbye" And she reaches out and takes my hand And squeezes it and says "How ya feeling hon?" And I look across at smiling lips That warm my heart and see my morning sun And if that's not loving me Then all I've got to say Oh God didn't make little green apples And it don't rain in Indianapolis In the summertime And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss Disneyland Mother Goose There's no nursery rhyme God didn't make little green apples And it don't rain in Indianapolis In the summertime And when my self is feeling low I think about her face aglow To ease my mind Sometimes I call her up at home Knowing she's busy And ask if she could get away And meet me and grab a bite to eat And she drops what she's doing And she hurries down to meet me And I'm always late But she sits waiting patiently And smiles when she first sees me Cause she's made that way If that ain't loving me Woah all I've got to say God didn't make little green apples And it don't snow in Minneapolis When the winter comes And there's no such thing as make-believe Puppy dogs, autumn leaves And BB guns God didn't make little green apples And it don't rain in Indianapolis In the summertime And when my self is feeling low I think about her face aglow To ease my mind God didn't make little green apples And it don't rain in Indianapolis In the summertime End
