when  daddy  left mama things were not the same
she would wake at night calling out his name
i put my arms around her kissed and held her tight
laid down beside her cuddled her all night

took it really hard she just loved him so
never ever thought that my dad would go
i stayed with my mama did the best i could
i did all the things that a daughter should

mama still thinks of daddy and the love she knew
im the same as mama  i love daddy  to
maybe my mama will love again once more
learn to love again like she did before

while sitting in my garden a robin sang to me
sat there on a branch of my apple tree
his lovely robin song with a lovely melody
every note in tune  every note in key

my heart began to melt as he sang his song
nearly made me cry as i sang along
when he finshed singing he flew in to the sky
tears they filled my eyes as i waved goodbye

hope he will come back and sing again for me
while sitting on the branch of my apple tree
his lovely robin song that took my breath away
in my mind forever his song will always stay

i remember a song my daddy used to sing
tears to my eyes daddies song would bring
all about a dog he was just a stray
roaming wild and free without a place to stay

a silver haired old lady saw him in the park
then the dog he saw her and he began to bark
when she saw the dog she took him to her home
dog he settled down no longer has to roam

as the years went bye the old lady passed away
to heaven up above where the angels stay
her family kept the house now the dog had security
and loved for evermore he would  always be

that was daddies song that he used to sing
tears to my eyes it would always bring

i have tried to love you.  time and time again
all i got from you was heartache and pain
with your flirting games there in front of me
that was all on show for everyone to see


i have tried and tried to prove my love to you
how to love someone you just never knew
you just played around you didnt really care
the love you had for me was never really there

all you ever wanted was to make of fool of me
with you flirting ways for everyone to see
i was just a fool who believed in you
but to love to someone you never really knew

i asked if you love you said you dont know
theres no need to lie i know you wanna go
i could see it coming the way you are with me
nothing is the same as used to be

why cant you just tell me you and i are through
you and i are over you found some one new
i dont know what to do  i still love you so
it would break my my heart  if i had to watch you go

why cant you just tell me you are moving on
love you had for me has now been and gone
i dont really know what im supposed to do
i cant help myself i still love you so
it would break my heart if had to watch you go

i was dancing with my darling in memphis tenennsee
beneath  the moon above there was her and me
we turned on the radio danced to our favourite  song
held each other tight we danced all night long

beneath a canopy of stars we danced away the night
stars just like little diamonds shining there so bright
no one else around there was her and i
we danced away the night beneath the midnight sky

i wont forget that night in memphis tennessee
beneath the moon above when she danced with me
danced away the night to our favourite song
very much in love we danced all night long

i will hold the memory till the day i die
when we danced together.  beneath a midnight sky
held each other tight as we danced along
till the early morning light to our favourite song

theres a picture that hangs in the hall
just hanging there on the wall
i gaze at that picture day after day
and you never change in anyway

then that picture always seems to smile
i sit and stare for awhile
then im left feeling blue
with that a picture of you
and you never change in anyway

then that picture preys on my mind
brings back memories of the lonesome kind
then im left feeling blue with that picture of you
and you never change in anyway
