Place In The Sun

(tony martin/mark nesler)

If i never think about her, i'll never miss her at all
Never wonder what she's doin, never give her a call
Never see her again and i'll be free as a bird
But the trouble with never is never, never works

If i never bring her flowers, i'll never see her smile
If i never try to kiss her, she'll never drive me wild
And i'll never feel the need to say those three little words
But the trouble with never is never, never works

I know how to stay carefree, let no one get a hold on me
But i can't keep my hands off her
There's something different 'bout this girl

If i never let me love her, i'll never settle down
And i'll never put roots in this god forsaken town
And i'll never say i do or step foot in a church
But the trouble with never is never, never works

I know how to stay carefree, let no one put a hold on me
But i can't keep my hands off her
There's something different 'bout this girl

If i never think about her, i'll never miss her at all
Never wonder what she's doin, never give her a call
Never see her again, and i'll be free as a bird
Oh, but the trouble with never is never, never works
Yeah, the trouble with never is never, never works
At least not with her

He was rough, he was tough
And he drank his whiskey straight
He would fight every night if he didn

(aimee mayo/bill luther)

I never had no one
I could count on
I've been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin'
So tired of searchin'
'til you walked into my life
It was a feelin'
I'd never known
And for the first time
I didn't feel alone

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime i look at you
I don't know where i'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend, oh yeah

You stand by me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much i have
And i still tremble
When we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime i look at you
And i don't know where i'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime i look at you
And i don't know where i'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend (my best friend)
You're my best friend (my best friend)

(bob pipero/george teren)

She left more than just her lipstick when she walked out
Her memory keeps haunting me that's why i'm hunting you down
It's been a long time since our lips met
You've always been good at helping me forget
I'll regret it in the morning but that's not stopping me now

Senorita, margarita i'm as lonesome as a man can be
I still love her
I still need her
I'm just hoping you can comfort me
I don't want to do her wrong
I don't need somebody new
I just can't be alone tonight
So senorita, margarita, let me hold you tight
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la

She always comes to her senses with some space and time
And you're just what i needed to cool off this hot head of mine
I hope you realize this is a one night stand
I'm gonna get her back, i know i can
So let's keep this between you me the salt and the lime

Senorita, margarita i'm as lonesome as a man can be
I still love her
I still need her
I'm just hoping you can comfort me
I don't want to do her wrong
I don't need somebody new
I just can't be alone tonight
So senorita margarita, let me hold you tight
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

It was labor day weekend i was seventeen
I bought a coke and some gasoline
And i drove out to the county fair
When i saw her for the first time
She was standing there in the ticket line
And it all started right then and there
Oh, a sailer's sky made a perfect sunset
And that's the day i'll never forget

I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
She was killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
And a heart don't forget something like that

Well it was five years later on a southbound plane
I was headed down to new orleans
To meet some friends of mine for mardi gras
When i heard a voice from the past
Comin' from a few rows back
And when i looked, i couldn't believe just what i saw
She said i bet you don't remember me
And i said only every other memory

I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
You were killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
You had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
And a heart don't forget something like that

Like an old photograph
Time can make a feeling fade
But the memory of a first love
Never fades away

I had a barbecue stain on my white tee shirt
She was killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin?rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a sun tan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
A heart don

Long ago, far away
I felt your lovin?glow upon my face
Was it a dream or just a promise made
What is my destiny

Someday i

(greg barnhill/kim carnes)

She walks over to him and she says do you remember me
I think we might have met somewhere before
Southern carolina is the place that comes to mind
But hey i guess you never really can be sure

Oh there's nothing like a true love
To go and make a fool of someone just like before
And right there for a minute
I forgot that you don't love me anymore

Then an old familiar feeling
Wraps its arms around the moment
And he says so many times i've tried to call
Well you think you'd spent a lifetime
It's been two years since i've seen you
But it seems like no times gone by at all

There was nothing like a real love
To give you back the feel of someone just like before
And right there for a minute
I forgot that you don't love me anymore

Oh and how far we'll travel
For a place to heal our hearts
We watched it unravel
So why's tonight the hardest part

Then he says the weather's changin
And it's icing up the highway
So i guess it's time for me to hit the road
So she says goodbye and then before she knows what she is saying
She says i wish that you didn't have to go

Oh there's nothing like a true love
To go and make a fool of someone just like before
And right there for a minute
I forgot that you don't love me anymore
And right there for a minute
I forgot that you don't love me anymore

(rodney crowell/will jennings)

When all our tears have reached the sea
Part of you will live in me
Way down deep inside my heart
The days keep coming without fail
A new wind is gonna find your sail
That's where your journey starts

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Just like the waves down by the shore
We're gonna keep on coming back for more
'cause we don't ever wanna stop
Out in this brave new world you seek
Oh the valleys and the peaks
And i can see you on the top

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Remember me when you're out walkin'
When the snow falls high outside your door
Late at night when you're not sleepin'
And moonlight falls across your floor
When i can't hurt you anymore

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Please remember me

(deryl dodd/blake a. chancey)

Once upon a lonely time
She swore she'd never let you down
You held her tight without a care in mind
While she did her runnin' 'round
At first you wouldn't face the truth
You loved her too much to let go
And though the story had to end
You wanna be her fool again
Friend there's something you should know

She'll have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time
Back to walkin' on your knees
Boy open up your eyes and see the light
Some things just aren't meant to be
I understand how she can get to you
'cause she's made more than one man blind
So try and face the cold hard fact
She would gladly have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time

It just don't make no sense to me
To play a game you'll never win
You asked me here for my advice
You say she wouldn't break you twice
Friend you'd better think again

She'll have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time
Back to walkin' on your knees
Boy open up your eyes and see the light
Some things just aren't meant to be
I understand how she can get to you
'cause she's made more than one man blind
So try and face the cold hard fact
She would gladly have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time
So try and face the cold hard fact
She would gladly have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time

She left oklahoma for california
Sunglasses on the brim of her hat
Smoke was pourin' from that old cadillac
But she wasn't turnin' back
Just outside of flagstaff
Motor blew on her coup de ville
Just in time she saw a sign
There's was a texaco waitin' at the bottom of the hill
And she said

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Must be angels i can't see
Somebody must be prayin' for me, yeah

A boy about 20 climbed out of a truck
All covered in grease and dirt
She said, hey charles, but he just laughed
He said, i'm wearin' my daddy's shirt
He stood there lost in her eyes
Then she got lost in his
As the years roll by
She would sigh everytime they kissed
And she'd say

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Must be angels i can't see
Somebody must be prayin' for me

Sometimes she stares out the window
And wonders about her hollywood dreams
But when she tucks her kids in bed
She softly whispers as they fall asleep

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Ain't it funny how you find just what you need
Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody must be prayin' for me
Prayin' for me, yeah
