I went down to ole Joe's smoky bar
Believing I was getting strong
I thought I had left her behind
Till some cowboy played an old song

IT'S ALL IN MY MEMORIES AGAIN
A LOVE FROM BEGINNING TO END
IT'S ALL WORTH REPEATING
BUT MY HEART TAKES A BEATING
IT'S ALL IN MY MEMORIES AGAIN

I went for the laughter and fun
But I cried all night long in my beer
Shot down by a cowboy's guitar
Lord, he sung her sweet love through the years

CHORUS

I thought I was over the worst
I was ready to have a good time
I walked in that ole corner bar
But the memories were waiting in line.....

CHORUS

Temptation's bridge
Still stretches through the darkness
Tonight I'm sure
To cross it one more time
I long to feel
Those pretty lips slip open
A warm sweet push
Inside the curves I wind

I can't resist
The touching tenderness
The longing aches
That multiply desire
Where shadows arch
To peaks of rising pleasure
In sweet sensations
And waves of endless fire

That's why I go
Back to the nights that were
Always predictable
With feelings that were real
And you are there
To reward me one more time
To relive golden moments
Incredible to feel

Or I could go
Into the empty future
Where passion never goes
Not much there to gain
It can't compare
To that old bridge to darkness
That prism in my memory
Where pleasure knows no pain

In that great big fancy ballroom
When few dancers dance at three
There are two transparent shadows
On the floor you barely see
They are moving to the music
Where two spirits love to touch
In that scene they come together
Just like when they had so much

Old ghosts still love to dance when life is gone
They  don't let it die...They rock right on
They just cannot seem to stop
               There's country, blues, a little be bop
Ghosts still love to dance when life is gone

They want to stay till break of dawn
But the cemetery beckons
They rush back home to weathered stones
And fill two crypts in seconds
Just an ancient ritual...
Never hurt the town at all
And when mortals bring the music
They just go and have a ball

 Chorus

I've wondered
When God was a boy
Did He wonder
Who in forever
Would find most
Success
Anyway
He was a shoo-in
By muscle or wisdom
There was no challenge
To match His finesse

I know

If all the seekers after glory

Could make the cut

Fame would not mean a lot

But still

A gnawing, longing

Overwhelms me

Each time I think of all

That I am not

Fussing and fighting--that's all that we do                                                            Sep­tember 13, 2013
It's not worth the pain--this life puts us through
Let's face the facts...no late alibis
Baby, it's time for saying goodbye

At this old crossroad one path will be mine
And some feelings I have may last a long time
But our differences now ...are hard to deny
Baby, it's time for saying goodbye

Repeat
We were too young...it's all turned to pain
I don't see a rainbow in all of this rain
And if not much is left--there's not much to die
Baby it's time for saying goodbye

We had it all--Or that's how it seemed
But time changes hearts and life changes dreams
It happened to us--but we gave it a try
Baby it's time--for saying goodbye

Repeat            

Bridge:  
Still, teardrops may fall for way too long
But for closure we'll write us a helluva song.....

Repeat

From the time I saw your face, I wanted to learn from you
So Baby teach the course  I can really get into...
I wanna  earn all the answers, every credit in chemistry
'Wanna be an over achiever, have you believing in me

I wanna have love lessons in your arms
I want my lips to learn from lips so warm
I want those learning curves to lead the way
To a Magna *** Laude someday    
I wanna have love lessons in your arms

I like to analyze your smile down to the finest meaning
The homework is such fun it's almost like I'm dreaming
With you I'm in the fast lane and I pass the courses faster
Thanks for teaching me the ropes to help me get  my Masters

CHORUS

Bridge:
'Wanna get my education while learning from the best
I wanna earn a PH D being the teacher's pet

CHORUS
