Feeling one another's joy and sorrow
Dreams today may come true tomorrow
Good friends
Close together like they're bookends
Feeling what the other one is feeling
They never seem to be without
Those little things to laugh about

Good friends
They have the kind of love
That only deepens
It's something that you rarely find worth keeping
Oh people even new ones come
You're lucky if you find just one good friend

And we say goodbye
Knowing what we have will fade away
We'll meet another time
Another day
My friend

Good friends
Their paths may never come together again
But in their hearts
They're on a road with no end
Where life will take us who can tell
Guess it's time to say farewell
My friend

Good friends
You never will forget
Your good friends

Chorus:
I can hardly see my face in the waters of the muddy mississippi
But i can see the shadows of the cotton wood standing over me
The morning sun would find me
Swinging from the rope that's hanging free
And i drop in to the waters
And go swimming in the muddy mississippi

A boy came to the delta
And we would swing together from that tree
I could see my dreams in his eyes
As he held on to me
Swinging in the sunlight
Loving in the shadows
Wild and free
And i made him promise he would take me
Down to new orleans

Bright lights of the city made my red dress and shoes look brand new
While he worked the night shift
I turned on and i turned loose
I lost my pride i lost my man
I did things a girl like me shouldn't do

Now i can't face this living
With the swelling signs of new life
Showing through

I can hardly see my face in the waters of the muddy mississippi
But i can see the shadows of the cotton wood standing over me
The morning sun would find me
Hanging from the rope that's swinging free
And i'll swing for the last time over the waters
Of the muddy mississippi

Yeah the muddy mississippi

(reba mcentire)

Well i can't make it through this world by myself
I need heaven's help to make through the day
And if i go to bed tonight
And remember to say my prayers
I know i'll have a better day tomorrow

Chorus:
Cause you've done what you said you'd do
And you've given me lots of love
And i've never known such peace
Since i met you
I'm so proud to be your child
And i'm doing the best i can
And i know i'll have a better day tomorrow

Well (repeat chorus)

I know i'll have a better day tomorrow

Silence is golden
When the one that you're holding
Means more then love words can say
But what i don't hear
From you makes me fear
That our love is slipping away

The quiet's so loud
It fills up the house
With words that can't be set free
So who'll break the curse
And say the first word
Well i don't know
We're not talking you see

Chorus:
It's another silent night
It's a cold war of who's wrong or right
Nobody's winning this unspoken fight
It's another silent night

If we could just talk
And tear down the wall
That stands there between our hearts
We could put back together
Our love for each other
Before it all falls apart

Repeat chorus x2

(j. l. wallace, terry skinner)

I've forgotten your number
I hadn't called in a while
And i'm slowly forgetting your funny little smile
I've even stopped missing
The love that we knew
But i've never stopped dreaming of you

I've lost all the memories
The feel of your touch
And it's left my mind why i loved you so much
I've even forgotten who walked out on who
But i've never stopped dreaming of you

Chorus:
I've never stopped seeing your face every night
I see it each time that i close my eyes
And time's heal the memories
Of the pain i went through
But i've never stopped dreaming of you

I've misplaced all the trinkets
That you told me to keep
And it's been such a long time
Since i've lost any sleep
Now i'm doing just fine
With somebody new
But i've never stopped dreaming of you

Repeat chorus

No i've never stopped dreaming of you
