You lie in chair sleep beside me
I hear your warm breathing
I take your hands and hold it tightly
Listen, can you hear our young hearts beating
I kiss the slip from your eyes
Your smile is sweeter than the morning
And here it comes
Can you feel it baby
Can you feel it, here it comes
Feel it (fire)
(Something's burning)
I don't forget your love
And now the sun is burning brightly
We lie in love so close together
I get the feeling deep inside of me
My love for you will burn forever
I kept my hands to touch your face
And once again I feel your fine love
And once again I feel your fine love
And here it comes
Can you feel it baby
Can you feel it, here it comes
Feel it (fire)
(Something's burning)
Well the morning's come
and Lord my mind is aching
The sunshine's quietly standing at my door
Just like the dawn
my heart is silently breaking
With my tears it goes tumbling to the floor.
Once again the whole town will be talking
It's more I've seen the pity in their eyes
they could never understand
it's her sorrow not a man
no matter what they say I know she tried
Baby's packed her soft things
and oh she's left me
I know she never meant to make me cry
It's not her heart Lord
it's her mind she didn't mean to be unkind
Why she even woke me up to say goodbye.
Just remember you're my sunshine
When I'm with you I don't feel any pain
Just remember that I love you
Even if I cannot be your man.
I'm not leaving you forever
But I got business farther down the line
You got your troubles
Baby, I got mine.
Hold on, everything will be alright
Hold on, I got to have a little more time
Hold on and together we will find
All the answers, all we need is time now.
Just remember that I love you
When you got no one to hold your hand
Yes you know I'll be back home
Just as soon, just as soon as I can.
Hold on, everything will be alright
Hold on, I got to have a little more time
Hold on and together we will find
All the answers, all we need is time now...
As I drive toward home I picture Momma waiting
She'll be glad to see her big time boy come home
She gets little in return for all she's given
And I'm all she's got to love since Daddy's gone.
Now I'm forty miles away and I'm still wonderin'
Why I ever told her I was doing well
When I first went wrong I should have turned to Momma
But it's hard to get back up once you have fell.
Chorus:
It's the last time I'll see flowers in the morning
It's the last time I'll hear robins in the spring
It's the last time I'll feel Momma's arms around me
It's the last chance here on earth I'll have to sing.
As I drive away behind me Momma's waving
To a son who's all she'd ever hoped he'd be
Now she says her final prayers, 'Go, meet Daddy'
And I'm glad she's only seen one side of me.
Today makes thirteen years in Coleman's Federal Prison
And tonight I'll walk these last few steps alone
But I can't help think that somewhere Momma's waiting
When someday she'll see her big time boy come home.
Chorus:
It's the last time I'll see flowers in the morning
It's the last time I'll hear robins in the spring
It's the last time I'll feel Momma's arms around me
It's the last chance here on earth I'll have to sing...
We look like dough, lips like sherry wine
She can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
'Cause I know that my Elvira's mine.
Tonight I'm gonna meet her to hungry house cafe
And I'm gonna give her all the love I can
She's gonna jump and holler
'Cause I saved up two dollars
She's gonna search and find that preacher man.
