If Ole Hank Could Only See Us Now (Single) - Waylon Jennings & The .357's

T Graham Brown Miscellaneous If You Could Only See Me Now (1990) I tried to be just what you wanted Whoa but I was always wishing on the moon Things were always going wrong thou it took so long You just left me way too soon If you could only see me now, now I turned my life around completely If I could bring you back somehow I know that I would make you proud to love me Oh I think you would be surprised I'd be something in your eyes If you could only see me now Some crazy dream was always waiting Down some road I had to follow to the end I meant to come back home time kept rolling on I'd love to have that chance again If you could only see me now, now I turned my life around completely If I could bring you back somehow I know that I would make you proud to love me Oh I think you would be surprised I'd be something in your eyes If you could only see me now I think you would be surprised I'd be something in your eyes If you could only see me now

If you could only see the way she loves me Maybe you would understand Why I feel this way about our love What I must do If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says When she says she loves me Well you've got your reasons And you got your lies And you've got your manipulations They cut me down to size Sayin' you love but you don't You give your love, but you won't If you could only see the way she loves me Maybe you would understand Why I feel this way about our love And what I must do If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says When she says she loves me Seems the road less traveled Shows happiness unraveled And you got to take a little dirt To keep what you love Hmm, that's what you gotta do Sayin' you love, but you don't You give your love, but you won't You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there Sayin' you love where you stand Give your heart when you can If you could only see the way she loves me Maybe you would understand Why I feel this way about our love And what I must do If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says When she says she loves me Sayin' you love, but you don't You give your love but you won't (but you won't) Sayin' you love where you stand Give your heart when you can If you could only see the way she loves me Maybe you would understand Why I feel this way about our love And what I must do If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says When she says she loves me

If you could see me now you'd know how blue I've been One look is all you need to see the mood I'm in Perhaps when you'd realize I'm still in love with you If you could see me now you'd find me being raised And trying offly hard to make my tears behave But that's quite impossible, I'm still in love with you You happened my way on some memorable day A month will be made for a while I'll try to smile but can I play the part without my heart Behind the smile, the way I feel for you I never could disguise The look of love is written plainly in my eyes I think you'd be mine again if you could see the way you captured me I'm yours eternally, if you could see now

I IF COULD SEE YOU NOW (Alex A. Lopez, BMI - F and R Music, BMI) IF I COULD SEE YOU NOW I only wanted to be next to you I find myself in the darkness And I'm crying You said it would be forever But your gone I must confess that I need you I can't live another day. If I could see you now I'll give myself to you And I'll show you that The love we had was true. If I could see you now I'll hold you in my arms And I'll show you that the Love we had was true. 2nd Verse Baby, come to me Oh these lonely nights Your the one that I see When I close my eyes Your arms has set me free But I'm holding you Its hard to let you go Come back to me and stay. You said it would be forever Uh uh uh, ja ha ha Uh uh uh, Ja ha ha. No matter what I do I just can't stop loving you These tears in my eyes They all because of you.

Every time our song came on I turned it off And for a while I blamed you for the things I lost Found out their repeat just wasn't worth the cost You caused me to lose sight of who I was I couldn't separate the sun from pouring rain Just another hopeless broken heart cliche And all my fairytale ambitions I just watched them wash away To the sound of your laughing in that Kodak of your face But if you could see me now I bet you wish you'd turn that car around But it's too late for sorry baby even if you changed I'm not letting myself break down count me out Oh, I'm better now Oh I guess I never thought I'd see the day When somebody says your name and I don't feel a thing I hope you're happy sleeping in that bed you made Cause that's one of many things that you won't share with me again If you could see me now I bet you wish you'd turn that car around But it's too late for sorry baby even if you changed I'm not letting myself break down count me out Oh, I'm better now Oh, I'm better without you now So don't come back around If you could see me now I bet you wish you'd turn that car around But it's too late for sorry baby even if you changed I'm not letting myself break down count me out Letting myself break down count me out Oh, I'm better now Oh, I'm better now Oh, I'm better now

(Mel Tillis) I hope that the friend You've thrown yourself with He gets drunk and loses his job And every road that you travel on Is dusty, rocky and hard I couldn't make you love me You only made me blue So all in all, if the curtain should fall Lord, I hope that it falls on you. I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge. I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge. --- Instrumental --- Well, I hope that the train From Caribou Maine Runs over your new love affair You walk the floor From door to door And pull out your peroxide hair. You never was my woman 'Cause you were never true So all in all if the curtain should fall Lord, I hope that it falls on you. I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge. I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge. I will have sweetm sweet, sweet mental revenge...

(Bill Martin - Phil Coulter) Sunday morning in the valley We would gather for the service Emmily Jane would run to meet me She'd smile at papa kinda nervous. All the people came from miles around I can still hear the sound. As they sang thanks to the Lord For the sun up in the sky For the corn that's growing high And for the child that didn't die. Thanks to the Lord For the crops and for the farm For the satrenght in my right arm And for keepin' us from harm. Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks Thanks to the Lord for a girl like Emmily Jane. --- Instrumental --- Came the day that we were married All our folks from the congregation Emmily Jane was like an angel The sweetest thing in all creation. Papa hugged me and my mama cried Everybody smiled with pride. As they sang thanks to the Lord For the sun up in the sky For the corn that's growing high And for the child that didn't die.

People sit around and they talk and talk How their dreams all ended too soon Guess they never hung out under the stars Howling at the moon I guess we're as different as nine and eight I see it in a different light I don't think much about the good ol' days Just about the good ol' nights Talk about the good times Talk about the times when the times were right You can keep the good ol' days, I'll take the good ol' nights They wanna go back to when a Cadillac Didn't look like a Chevrolet It meant a lot to them but not a thing to me I never owned one anyway But a good looking woman and an old guitar With both of them tuned just right Well, I don't think much about the good ol' days Just about the good ol' nights Talk about the good times Talk about the times when the times were right You can keep the good ol' days, I'll take the good ol' nights You can keep the good ol' days, I'll take the good ol' nights

Lord knows I am peaceful when I'm left alone I've always been an Eagle, been awhile since I have flown My claws are sharp as ever, so's my Eagle eye Something's gonna go tonight, when the Eagle flies Lately I've heard rumors that the Eagle may be lame Just because I've been idle, don't mean that I'm tame You've jeopardized my freedom, my natural place to roost I can fly when I have to, if they turn the Eagle loose So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight Just because I took awhile to fly that don't mean I don't care When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight Just because I took awhile to fly that don't mean I don't care When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air

Through the chill of winter Running across a frozen lake Hunters hard right on his trail All odds are against him With a family to provide for One thing he must keep alive Will the wolf survive? Will the wolf survive? Drifting by the roadside Lines etched on an aging face It wants to find some honest space Losing to the range wars He's got two strong legs to guide him Two strong arms keep him alive Will the wolf survive? Standing in the pouring rain All alone in a world that's changed Running scared now forced to hide In a land where he once stood with pride But he'll find his way by the morning light Sounds across the nation Coming from your hearts and minds Battered drums and old guitars Singing songs of passion It's the truth that they all look for Something they must keep alive Will the wolf survive? Will the wolf survive? Will the wolf survive?
