A Kind Of Hush

Don't take your love

Away from me

Don't you leave my heart

In misery

If you go

Then i'll be blue

Cause breakin' up is hard to do



Remember when

You held me tight

And you kissed me

All through the night

Think of all

That we been through

Breakin' up is hard to do



They say that brekin' up

Is hard to do

Now i know, i know

That it's true

Don't say that this is the end

Instead of breakin' up

I wish that we were makin' up again



I beg of you

Don't say good-bye

Can't we give our love

Another try

Come on baby

Lets start a new

Breakin' up is hard to do



I beg of you

Don't say good-bye

Can't we give our love

Another try

Come on baby

Lets start a new

Breakin' up is hard to do

Breakin' up is hard to do

You are the one who makes me happy

When everything else turns to grey

Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings

And sends me out into the day

You are the crowd that sits quiet

Listening to me

And all the mad sense that i make



(*) you are one of the few things worth remembering

And since it's all true

How could anyone mean more to me

Than you



Sorry if sometimes i look past you

There's no one beyond your eyes

Inside my head whells are turning

Hey, sometimes i'm not so wise

You are my heart and my soul

My inspiration

Just like the old love song goes



Repeat (*)



You're my heart and my soul

My inspiration

Just like the old song goes



Repeat (*)

I was born on a farm out in iowa

A flaming youth i was bound i would fly away

I packed my grip and i grabbed my saxophone

Can't read notes, but i play anything by ear

I made up tunes on the sounds that i used to hear

When i'd start to play folks to say

"sounds a little goofus to me"



(*) cornfed chords appeal to me

I like rustic harmony

Hold a note and change the key

Hey but that's "goofus"



Not according to the rules

That you learn in music schools

But the folks just dance like fools

They sure go for " goofus"



Got a job but i just couldn't keep it long

The leader said that i played all the music wrong

So i stepped out with an outfit of my own



(**) got together a new kind of orchestra

And we all played just the same "goofus" harmony

And i must admit we made a hit

"goofus" has been lucky for me



Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)

I'm going way down south to louisiana, tonight

Well, i'll just close my eyes

And everything's alright

And though i'm really far away

I'll make my get away

And no one need really

Know that i've been gone



One more time for the good times

That far out weigh the bad

One more time for the good times

When love was all we had



I'm going way down south to baton rouge

Well, i'll just close the door

And turn out all the lights

And all the images dance by

Of folks and friends who lie

Back home where things are slow

And easy going



One more time for the good times

That far out weigh the bad

One more time for the good times

When love was all

When love was all

When love was all we had

One more time

(single version)



Ah

You know i can't smile without you

I can't smile without you

I can't laugh, and i can't sleep

I don't even talk to people i meet

And i feel sad when you're sad

I feel glad when you're glad

And you must know what i'm goin' thru

I just can't smile, without you



You came along just like a song

You brightened my day

Who'd believe you were part of a dream

That only seemed light years away



And you know i can't smile without you

I can't smile without you

And you must know what i'm goin' thru

I just can't smile, without you



Some people say the happiness wave

Is somethin' that's hard to find

Into the new leavin' the old behind me

And i feel sad when you're sad

I feel glad when you're glad

And you must know what i'm goin' thru

I just can't smile, without you



Into the new, leaving the old behind me

And i feel sad when you're sad

I feel glad when you're glad

And you must know what i'm goin' thru

I just can't smile, without you



You must know what i'm goin' thru

I just can't smile, without you
