It's All Coming Back To Me Now
There were nights when the wind was so cold
There were days when the sun was so cruel
I finished crying in the instant that you left
But when you touch me like this
There were moments of gold
If I kiss you like this
There were those empty threats and hollow lies
There were hours that just went on for days
But you were history with the slamming of the door
But if I touch you like this
There were moments of gold
When you touch me like this
If you forgive me all this
(It's all coming back to me now)
Morningside
Morning light
And the legs were shaped with his hands
Morningside
Pride can stand, a thousand trials,
Heaving heart is full of pain,
Touch me deep, pure, and true,
Where are you now?
Every night in my dreams
Far across the distance
Near, far, wherever you are
Love can touch us one time
Love was when I loved you
Near, far, wherever you are
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home
Weep no more, my lady,
They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon
Weep no more, my lady,
The head must bow and the back will have to bend
Weep no more, my lady,
By Stephen Collins Foster
She was morning
For I've been lonely
You are the sun
Song she sang to me
You are the sun
And so it was
You are the sun
Listen as your day unfolds
Herald what your mother said
Time asks no questions
Listen as your day unfolds
You gotta be
*******************************
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby, Baby
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But it's all coming back
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, Baby, Baby
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
If you do it like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if we...
The old man died
And no one cried
They simply turned away
And when he died
He left a table made of nails and pride
And with his hands, he carved these words inside
'For my children'
Morning bright
I spent the night
With dreams that make you weep
Morning time
Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine
For I recall the words an old man signed
'For my children'
And the top made of oaken wood
And the children that sat around his table
Touched it with their laughter
Ah, and that was good
An old man died
And no one cried
He surely died alone
And truth is sad
For not a child would claim
the gift he had
The words he carved
became his epitaph
'For my children'
The strong will never fall
But watching stars without you
,
My soul cried.
Oh, oh, the aching.
'Cause I'm kissing you, oh.
I'm kissing you.
Gift to me forever
'Cause I'm kissing you, oh.
I'm kissing you.
Where are you now?
'Cause I'm kissing you.
I'm kissing you, oh.
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're one
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
'tis summer, the people are gay,
the corn top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom
while the birds make music all the day.
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor
all merry, all happy, and bright.
By'n by hard times comes a-knocking at the door,
then my old Kentucky home, good night.
oh weep no more today.
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
for the old Kentucky home far away.
on meadow, the hill, and the shore.
They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon
on the bench by that old cabin door.
The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart
with sorrow where all was delight.
The time has come when the people have to part
then my old Kentucky home, good night.
oh weep no more today.
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
for the old Kentucky home far away.
wherever the people may go.
A few more days and the trouble all will end
in the field where sugar-canes may grow.
A few more days for to tote the weary load,
no matter, 'twill never be light.
A few more days 'till we totter on the road,
then my old Kentucky home, good night.
oh weep no more today.
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
for the old Kentucky home far away.
1853
Kentucky adopted
'My Old Kentucky Home, Good Night'
as its State song in 1928.
And I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying
Beside my bed
I softly said
"Come take me"
In need of someone
As though I'd done
Someone wrong somewhere
I don't know where
Come lately
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night
And what was right
Became me
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me
That I came to travel
Upon a road
That was thorned and narrow
Another place
Another grace
Would save me
I am the moon
You are the word
I am the tune
Play me
Challenge what the future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead, release your fears
Stand up and be counted.
Don't be ashamed to cry
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
It goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
Can't stop it if you try to
The best part is danger staring you in the face
Challenge what the future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead, release your fears
You gotta be bad
You gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard
You gotta be tough
You gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool
You gotta be calm
You gotta stick together
All I know all I know love will save the day
