I Still Can't Leave Your Memory Alone lyrics - Charley Pride

Last night it came around again and went walking through my mind

And again it's got the best of me and I felt just like a child

After all the hurt it caused me I guess I sure have known

But I still can't leave your memory alone

No I still can't leave your memory alone it's all I've got to cling to since you've gone

Yes I know that it's over but I keep hanging on

And I still can't leave your memory alone

Tonight I should make you go erase you from my mind

But I can only lose you one thought at a time

And Lord I pray the time will come when one day I'll be strong

But I still can't leave your memory alone

No I still can't leave...

No I still can't leave your memory alone

Hard Time Will Be The Best Time lyrics - Charley Pride

I hear they're hiring men in Oklahoma

And I've been blessed with two hard working hands

I'll take that job till the mill goes back to working

And we'll make it through the hard times again

Like the preacher said in church last Sunday morning

Oh the Lord does things we may not understand

We both know that he'll take care of his children

If we live every day the best we can

And these hard times will be the closest times we've known

Let's laugh and dream of better days to come

These will be the good old days a little later on

And these hard times will be the closest times we've known

You know that heaven smiles on us and gives us all we need

We've got so much we should be thankful for

Dry your eyes turn out the light let me hold you close

That makes these hard times the closest times we've known

And these hard times will be...

Yes these hard times will be the closest times we've known

Completely Helpless lyrics - Charley Pride

Completely helpless I'm standing alone facing the whole world now that you're gone

Completely helpless oh what can I do completely helpless oh without you

With hands that are trembling I walk out the door

I can't take these four walls alone anymore

Cause now it's all over you say we're through

But how can I tell this heart that still loves you

Completely helpless...

Completely helpless oh without you

Mississippi Cotton Pickin' Delta Town lyrics - Charley Pride

In a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town one dusty street to walk up and down

Nothin' much to see but a starvin' hound in a Mississippi cotton pickin' Delta town

Down in the Delta where I was born all we raised was cotton potatoes and corn

I've picked cotton till my fingers hurt draggin' the sack through that Delta dirt

And I've worked hard the whole week long pickin' my fingers to the blood and bone

There ain't a lot of money in a cotton bale at least when you try to sell

In a Mississippi cotton pickin'...

On Saturday nights we'd get dressed up catch us a ride on a pickup truck

On a gravel road it nearly string to lust that cotton pickin' Delta dust

We'd sit across the street on the depot porch lookin' at the folks lookin' back at us

Munchin' on a dust covered ice cream cone and wondering how we'd get back home

From a Mississippi cotton pickin'...

From a Mississippi cotton pickin'...

She Loves Me The Way That I Love You lyrics - Charley Pride

She's the closest thing to happiness I found since losing you

My chance to live and love again just someone that I turn to

No I can't love her completely she knows what I'm going through

Cause she loves me the way that I love you

She's all the strenght I'll ever need to get me over you

She'll help me make you someone in the past that I once knew

She's beside me when I need her and these arms she'll never use

Cause she loves me the way that I love you

She wants me to want her the way that I want you

But now she's just someone to help me ease the hurt you put me through

No she won't erase your footprints but in time she'll fill your shoes

Cause she loves me the way that I love you

No she won't erase your footprints...

Mary Go Round lyrics - Charley Pride

Oh love's a merry go round so Mary go round with me

Won't you takin' a ride deep down inside you know you'll never be free

And it was love we found on the merry go round so now for all the world to see

Whether wrong or right we're back in love tonight so Mary go round with me

It seems like yesterday that you and I fell in love

And a thousand dreams ago we said goodbye

But seeing you tonight it's as though time has stood still

And all the love we knew before shines in your eyes

Cause love's a merry go round...

Whether wrong or right we're back in love tonight so Mary go round with me

That Was Forever Ago lyrics - Charley Pride

Tonight it's been six lonely days since you called me to tell me we're through

To think just last week you loved me so but that was forever ago

I've cried all my tears sure there's none anymore my heart is empty and cold

The future is black cause I can't go back cause that was forever ago

Our yesterdays were filled with sweet dreams what happened I'll never know

But yesterday's gone and I must go on cause that was forever ago

I've cried all my tears...

Cause that was forever ago

North Wind lyrics - Charley Pride

Well once I met a pretty little girl and she was fair to see

I fell in love with a pretty little girl she fell in love with me

I kissed her on her dimpled chin while stars in heaven did play

But along come a howl in that old north wind and carried her away

North wind north wind bring my baby back again

North wind where did she go nobody but you will ever know

It seems I hear her calling me and when I answer back

I find it's just that old north wind a whistlin' round my shack

Each night before I go to sleep down on my knees I pray

That the old north wind come a howlin' by and carry me away

North wind north wind...

Which Way Do We Go lyrics - Charley Pride

Which way do we go now you and I should I laugh now or should I cry

Think of what you're saying now to me cause it's still you babe and I'm still me

Did I let you down in some way I don't know of

But I just can't believe that we've run out of love

That part about leaving say it's so one more time love which way do we go

You know if I lose you I'll still go on but all my reasons they'll be gone

So while you're making your mind up heaven knows

My heart's crying which way do we go

Did I let you down in some way...

One more time love which way do we go

We Could lyrics - Charley Pride

If anyone could find the joy that true love brings a girl and boy

We could we could you and I

If anyone could ever say that their true love was here to stay

We could we could you and I

When you're in my arms I know you're happy to be there

And just as long as I'm with you I'm happy anywhere

If anyone could pray each night to thank the Lord that all is right

We could we could you and I

When you're in my arms...

It Amazes Me lyrics - Charley Pride

Anytime the world is gettin' to me all I have to do is think of you

And I know the world cannot undo me I feel so easy loving you

It amazes me at all I seem to be is me loving you and you loving me

It amazes me the rhythm and the rhyme two loving hearts in sweet loving times

Mhm sweet loving times

I never find the words to tell you somehow they're always hard to say

But I hope you feel it when I hold you my love is growing everyday

It amazes me at all...

All His Children lyrics - Charley Pride

When you're standing alone 

With the mountains and the sea 

Where the arms of the world are opened wide 

Where the truth is as plain as the falling rain 

And as sure as the time and the tide 

You know we're all his children 

His next of kin that's the way it's began 

No matter where you're going or where you've been 

You are part of the family of men 

When you walk down the road and the sun is on your side 

With the sweet river breeze for your face 

Though you don't hear a sound as you look around 

Everything sort of fall into place 

You know we're all his children 

His next of kin that's the way it's began 

No matter where you're going or where you've been 

You are part of the family of men

Streets Of Gold lyrics - Charley Pride

I'm a western North Carolinean made of stone and red place oil

I got Cherokee blood deep within me when I was born it began to boil

Well I left my home across the mountains to see what kind of life I'd find

Well I searched the world in all directions to try to cool this restless mind

Found myself on a lonesome journey the streets of gold I tried to find

The Indian spirit it softly whispered and cooled the blood ever restless mind

I'm going back to the Smokey Mountains and breathe the air that fit my soul

Now there we read in the leaves of history and there I'll find my streets of gold

And there I'll find my streets of gold

I Don't See How I Can Love You Anymore lyrics - Charley Pride

I can feel the warmth of you against my skin

Like a gentle wave that rushes to the shore

I have loved you since the day the world began

But I don't see how I can love you anymore

When the gentle touch of you is touching me

And the blinding fires of love began to roar

It seems that time stands still for you and me

But I don't see how I can love you anymore

I can see that you have meant the world to me

You've been everything that I was searching for

I see the world of love ahead for you and me

But I don't see how I can love you anymore

When the gentle touch of you...

No I don't see how I can love you anymore

Singin' A Song About Love lyrics - Charley Pride

Yes I keep singin' a song about love hummin' a tune about happiness

Winkin' my eye at the sun up above and just singin' a song about love

I don't have no acts to drive no bridges to be burned

There's better ways to go through life and the best way I have learned

Whenever troubles cross my mind I think about your love

And then a smile upon my face just shows what I'm thinking of

And I start singin' a song..

When other people talk to me they just don't understand

Just what it is that's happen now that made me a happy man

It's not a fortune I have found it's something you can't see

It isn't gold it's just a love between my woman and me

So I keep singin' a song...

So I keep singin' a song...

Man I Used To Be lyrics - Charley Pride

I'm sure you've seen me along the highway sleeping bag and guitar on my back

Searching for the things in life that matter thinking that the world was out of act

I'm going back to the girl that I still dream of going back to find the place for me

I found out what life was really made of I'm going back to the man I used to be

I've lived much too long without direction really don't know what I thought I'd find

But the mountains I've climbed out in the country

I find that they were only in my mind

I'm going back to the girl that I still dream of going back to plant my family tree

I found out what life was really made of I'm going back to the man I used to be

Love Put A Song In My Heart lyrics - Charley Pride

Yes your love put a song put a song put a song in my heart

Never have I heard this beautiful music before

Yes your love put a song put a song put a song in my heart

A beautiful song of two people in love evermore

It wasn't too long ago I thought I would never know

What reason has anyone to sing a happy song

I knew only loneliness but then I found happiness

And now I just want the world to smile and sing along

Yes your love put a song...

The meaning of life I find is you in my heart and mind

The meaning that only comes when two hearts beat as one

It's easy to understand once you've given love your hand

And followed through paradise the way that we have done

Yes your love put a song...

Yes your love put a song...

Comin' Down With Love lyrics - Charley Pride

My mind has been in a constant burl since the day that I met you girl

I've never had a feelin' like this to come over me

I can't sleep a wink I can't eat a bite I toss and tumble in my sleep all night

Baby it's the feelin' that I just can't fight I'm comin' down with love

Comin' down with love such a good feelin' all over my body

Your sweet love is all over me

Gone are my heartaches my heartbreaks I feel just like a new man

Comin' down with love I'm down with love

When I'm with you that's my desire my heart is like a burnin' flame of fire

Your kisses end cold chills up and down my spine

I've never had a good feelin' like this before it feels so good I'm a beggin' for more

No doubt about it it's for sure I'm comin' down with love

Comin' down with love...

If She Just Helps Me Get Over You lyrics - Charley Pride

It may not make me tremble the soft touch of her hand

But she won't break my heart the way you do

So I'm gonna try to give her the best love that I can

If she just helps me get over you

If she just picks me up when I get down

If she's there when the mem'ries walk around

Maybe someday I'll love her as much as I love you

If she just helps me get over you mhm mhm

I don't suppose that loving will ever be the same

But she wants me the way I wanted you

So I'm gonna try to give her the best love that I can

If she just helps me get over you

If she just picks me up...

I'm Only Losin' Everything I Threw Away lyrics - Charley Pride

Mornin' lonely mornin' I feel so lonesome raindrops fallin' down

Leavin' Lord she's leavin' she bought a oneway Greyhound ticket from this town

Takin' she's been takin' she's been a long time takin' all of my hurtin' away

Losin' I'm only losin' I'm only losin' everything I threw away

I'm only losin' someone special who never made me cry

That warm and tender someone who's lips just said goodbye

I'm only losin' my tomorrow my today and yesterday

I'm only losin' everything I threw away

Beggin' Lord I'm beggin' askin' her please take me back again

Cryin' Lord now she's cryin' but with tearfull eyes she slowly shakes her head

Footsteps her fading footstep walking out the door now I'm alone

Dawnin' for me it's dawnin' this time she's not foolin' she's gone

I'm only losin' someone special...

I'm only losin' everything I threw away

Footprints In The Sands Of Time lyrics - Charley Pride

The strange lonely whistle of the distant movin' train

Breaks the silence of the gray winter skies

As I walk with my belongings down the road I'd never seen

While the bitter wind brings teardrops to my eyes

Oh where will I be when tomorrow weakens me am I looking for a dream I'll never find

Will I ever be the man I want to be or forgotten footprints in the sands of time

As I'm walking down the road my thoughts keep running back to you

And I hope it's in your heart to understand

Though you never made me sorry for the love I gave to you

I'm just sorry that I'm not your kind of man

Oh where will I be...

Oh where will I be...

Amazing Love lyrics - Charley Pride

When she wakes up this morning and turns to kiss me

She'll find I let her sleep because we talked so late last night

She'll know I kissed her face gently till my returning

And when she finds the rose on my pillow I know she'll smile

Her amazing love unending is so much more than I am worthy of

If the rose could speak my feelings she'd know I cherrished her amazing love

If I call her a little late she forgives me

Her voice does not betray she's spent another day alone

She softly thanks me for the rose and says I need you

And then I can feel her smiling on the phone

Her amazing love unending...

I've Just Found Another Reason For Loving You lyrics - Charley Pride

Somehow you know just what it takes to please me

Sometimes I think that you can read my mind

And when the weigh of the world is on my shoulders

You're there to share my burdens everytime

If I could count the reasons why I love you

I'm sure there would be a million or two

And it'll curse to me that I can't live without you

And I've just found another reason for loving you

I always start my days with lots of sunshine

It's in your smile and in your morning kiss

And more than once I've asked myself the question

How could any man ask for more than this

If I could count the reasons...

And I've just found another reason for loving you

Old Photographs lyrics - Charley Pride

Here is one that we took one Sunday afternoon I remember it was in the summer time

On the back it says eight eleven sixty five the same day you promised to be mine

But old pictures have a way of fading like a love that wasn't meant to be

Still each night I dig out the family album but old photographs sure get to me

Here it is it's the last one that we took together

Though it's faded a little more than the rest

I suppose it's because of all the tearstains on it

Bit it's the one that to me you look the best

Yes old pictures have a way...

Yes old photographs sure get to me

Along The Mississippi lyrics - Charley Pride

When we were young along the Mississippi life was never lonely way back then

We'd need each other down along the dirt road

And go for walk so along the river bend

I bought some ground along the Mississippi and told you of my plans that lay ahead

But you were dreaming all about big city and far off places in the books you read

Now when leaves fall down along the Mississippi I look back north into the chilly wind

I wait and watch for you along the dirt road and wonder if you're coming back again

I built a house along the Mississippi and longing for the day when we would wed

I waited for you down along the dirt road but far off places won your heart instead

Now when leaves fall down ...

And wonder if you're coming back again

Happiest Song On The Jukebox lyrics - Charley pride

Play the happiest song on the jukebox cause that's the way I'm feeling tonight

Play the happiest song and I'll be headin' home

To an angel waitin' there to hold me tight

I used to think this barroom had become my second home

But now it's just a place to come relax

So here's some dimes for this time play a different kind of song

Bring one more round then I'll be making tracks

Play the happiest song...

She doesn't try to change the way that I've been in the past

She loves me just for what I am today

Now I seen much more to life than just the bottom of a glass

Just thought I'd stop and celebrate this way

Play the happiest song...

To an angel waitin' there to hold me tight

Shelter Of Your Eyes lyrics - Charley Pride

In the shelter of your eyes I have finally learned my song

It took so long to realize I just can't make it all alone

Words're only what they say but this feeling isn't wrong

Now I'm so glad I found the way it's good to be where I belong

And I'm gonna stay right here cause I'm in rhythm with your mind

Tune out the world and rest my head neath the shelter of your eyes

Words're only what they say...

I'm Learning To Love Her lyrics - Charley Pride

Last night I walked down that little country lane

And a million memories ran through my mind

Where I used to walk with you now I walk with someone new

And I'm learning to love her with time

Yes I'm learning to love her cause you've gone and found another

It's the only way I know to ease my mind

She's not you but she loves me and I know she'll stay with me

And I'm learning to love her with time

Well over there that old oak tree where you gave your love to me

It was here you said I'll love you for all time

But tonight she's here with me and she loves the hurt away

And I'm learning to love her with time

Yes I'm learning to love her...

Yes I'm learning to love her with time

Don't Fight The Feelings Of Love lyrics - Charley Pride

Don'tcha don'tcha don'tcha fight the feelings of love

Cause love is something nobody ever gets enough of

So reach out your hand take in all the sunshine from above

Well now love is believing so don't fight the feelings don't fight the feelings of love

A boy and a girl in a big spinning world upside down in love from the start

Sunny days and laughing skies true love in both their eyes

Spending happy good times in the park

Learning all about living taking and the giving love is growing stronger every day

Well now there'll never be another cause they're trusting each other

Good love seems to just work out that way

I said now don'tcha...

Don't fight the feelings don't fight the feelings don't fight the feelings of love

Just To Be Loved By You lyrics - Charley Pride

Yes it's true that I've known other but I didn't know back then

A man could ever want the way I do

And the life I used to lead was before I found the need just to be loved by you

Ever since the day I found you I have felt deep down inside

I just been marking time my whole life through

And what life there's left to live darling I would gladly give just to be loved by you

I would climb the highest mountain and swim the deepest sea

Oh there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

If it brought you happiness I'd give all that I possess just to be loved by you

Just to be loved by you

Tennessee Girl lyrics - Charley Pride

Well I left home at a crack of dawn just about a year ago

I thumbed my way cross the USA and I learned a lot I didn't know

The Primised Land that I thought I'd find was always just ahead of me

Until one day when I realized I left it back in Tennessee

And that's why I'm going back to my Tennessee girl and a Tennessee way of life

And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl to be my Tennessee wife

Tonight I slept in a hobo camp workin' out like dog by day

I never got enough to get ahead just enough to make my way

Cold and tired when the evening come all I had to ease my mind

Was thinkin' bout the place I started from and the girl that I left behind

And that's why I'm going back...

There ain't no place that I been at all that I would gonna settle in

And every town that I travel through made me wanna go home again

The green green grass and the rollin' hills seem to keep a callin' me

Back to the place where I was born and the girl that I long to see

And that's why I'm going back...

I'm going back...

Love Unending lyrics - Charley Pride

Love unending love undying love that never grows cold

Love that never leaves you crying love that never grows old

That's what I'd give to you if you say that you love me too

That's what I'd give to you all the days of my life

Love for loving love for living love that has no pride

Love that's tender and forgiving soft and warm inside

That's what I'd give to you...

I'd give you everything that's mine to give

I'd give you more than this a reason to live

Love unending love undying...

All the days of my life all the days of my life

Shoulder To Cry On lyrics - Charley Pride

I came here because I knew I'd be welcome

And because somehow you always understand

You seem to have a way with lonely people

And you always were my greatest helping hand

Now once again I'm here to take advantage

Though I don't deserve the arms I left alone

I need to know there's someone who still loves me and I need a shoulder to cry on

I overlooked the love you tried so hard to give the love I never seemed to understand

I always stay just long enough to hurt you and what little love I gave was second hand

Now once again I'm here to take advantage cause once again I love is gone

I need to know there's someone who still loves me and I need a shoulder to cry on

Yes I need to know there's someone who still loves me and I need a shoulder to cry on

Too Weak To Let You Go lyrics - Charley Pride

I was on the rebound from a broken love affair

When I first thought of glimps of her in you

And though you never measured up to what she meant to me

I couldn't find the words to tell you so

Cause I'm not strong enough to leave you and too weak to let you go

You give me precious love to hold on to

But somehow deep inside I've got a feeling that you know

I'm not strong enough to leave you and too weak to let you go

Never once did you hold back the love you had for me

I guess you thought my love for you would grow

But women have a funny way of seeing through a man

But if you knew you never told me so

Cause I'm not strong enough...

No I'm not strong enough to leave you and too weak to let you go

She's Too Good To Be True lyrics - Charley Pride

Sometimes late at night I wake up dreaming

I reach and feel for her she's too good to be true

Then I touch the sleeping softness of my angel

And half asleep she turns to whisper I love you

Cause she's just too good to be true but she is

And in my arms she reassures me with a kiss

She's everything I ever looked for in a woman

She's just too good to be true but she is

Each day I go to work is like forever till that evening sun will bring me home again

But then she's a waitin' at the door with her sweet lovin'

And tonight she'll be so good to me again

Cause she's just too good...

She's just too good to be true but she is

She's That Kind lyrics - Charley Pride

She can take the morning rain falling on my window pane

And turn it into sunshine in my mind

And she can take the darkest night and brighten it with a love sweet light

And I'm satisfied just knowing she's that kind

And I can feel so down and out but she knows what it's all about

And she can help me leave it all behind

There's something in the way she smiles that seems to brighten all my trials

It's good to know my woman is that kind

She's that kind that I'm thankful to the Lord above

For sending me that kind of woman for me to love

If I could live another life and I could choose another wife

I wouldn't change a thing cause she's that kind

She's that kind that I'm thankful...

No I wouldn't change a thing cause she's that kind

You Were All The Good In Me lyrics - Charley Pride

Before there ever came the time that I could realize

That you've meant all the world to me

You turned and I was gone to find the good life I've been missin'

But you were all the good there was in me

I went from bad to worse and back to find the good time

But it took the time like this to make me see

I searched high and low to just to find my reason

But you were all the good there ever was in me

It's sad to think that much too late I've come to understand

That all the world was laying at my feet

I kicked aside the love that means much more than life just now

And you were all the good there was in me

I went from bad to worse...

Yes you were all the good there ever was in me
