Autumn Leaves

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

One song that makes me cry is an old song called "Misty". I'm not even sure who the person is that did the original recording but I think it might have been Nat King Cole. This might sound a little odd but you have to know the story behind it to understand. My grandfather used to be a singer in the 30's and 40's and he continued to sing at family weddings, parties, etc until he passed away in 1991. Misty was one of his favorites. A few years before his death, he recorded the song at one of those places where you can go and make a recording. Everyone in the family got a copy. Sometimes when I need a good cry, I will put it on, it makes me cry every time. I was at my Mom's for Thansgiving and she had on a Johnny Mathis CD with Misty on it and sure enough, it made me think if my Grandfather and I got a big lump in my throat. That song can make me cry no matter who is singing it because it reminds me of my Grandfather.

Jan.. that also gets to me.. it was my aunt and uncle's "song". When I hear Stardust, I remember my mom playing it on the piano.

Kathy Mattea's "Where've You Been?" always turns on the waterworks for me.. about an elderly couple who are just lost because they are each in the hospital "in seperate rooms on seperate floors" after living together and never sleeping a night apart..

Seamonkey, to this day I cannot listen to "Where've You Been?" without just sobbing. It breaks my heart all over again each time.

WHERE'VE YOU BEEN
J. Vezner & D. Henry (c) 1989

Claire had all but given up [D Am7 D]
When she and Edwin fell in love [G4 G D/F# Em]
She touched his face and shook her head [D Am7 D]
In disbelief, she sighed and said, [G4 G G4 B7]
"In many dreams I've held you near [Am7 Bm7]
Now, at last, you're really here." [C G/B Am7 D]
"Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7]
I've looked for you forever and a day [C D G]
Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7]
I'm just not myself when you're away." [C D G]

He asked her for her hand for life [D Am7 D]
And she became a salesman's wife [G4 G D/F# Em]
He was home each night by eight [D Am7 D]
But one stormy evening, he was late [G4 G G4 B7]
Her frightened tears fell to the floor [Am7 Bm7]
Until his key turned in the door. [C G/B Am7 D]
"Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7]
I've looked for you forever and a day [C D G]
Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7]
I'm just not myself when you're away." [C D G]

They'd never spent a night apart [C]
For sixty years she heard him snore [Em]
Now they're in a hospital [C /b]
In separate beds on different floors [Am D]

Claire soon lost her memory [D Am7 D]
Forgot the names of family [G4 G D/F# Em]
She never spoke a word again [D Am7 D]
Then one day, they wheeled him in [G4 G G4 B7]
He held her hand and stroked her hair [Am7 Bm7]
In a fragile voice she said, [C G/B Am7 D]
"Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7]
I've looked for you forever and a day [C D G]
Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7]
I'm just not myself when you're away. [C D Em]
No, I'm just not myself when you're away." [C D C (G)]

I just tried to update the lyrics, and my misspelling of separate and after pulling out all the chords, it timed out... so you get the chords and lyrics..

Bonnie Raitt

I can't make you love me
(M. Reid/A. Shamblin)

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't


I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

Aw damn, D.!

I used to hear that song a lot when it finally dawned on me that my ex was a straight up a-hole and I needed to move on....the second verse always tore me up.

my dh and i saw kathy mattea on our first anniversary at Luther Burbank Cengter in Santa Rosa. we were lucky to have third row seats. it's a very intimate venue. it was the first time she'd sung "where have you been" in public. you could have heard a pin drop. the audience (and kathy) were crying once she sang the last verse. and do this day... the minute it starts... i can't stop crying... oh to have a love like that...<sigh>

The song "I Believe" by Diamond Rio is a real killer for me. It always makes me think of my dad.

I don't remember if I listed this one..but, "Dust in the Wind" always gets to me.


"Dust In The Wind"

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

It's the same old song
We're just a drop of water, in an endless sea
All we do
Just crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Life's too short brothers and sisters
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever, but the earth and sky
It's there always
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust. . . all we are is dust in the wind
Life's too short brothers and sisters
Dust. . . all we are is dust in the wind

Open your eyes you've acquired quite a bit
Keep your balance don't you slip
It could all end instantly as you will see
Time waits for no one, it just moves on
There is a white one
Who won't accept the black one
Who won't accept the yellow one
Who can't accept the white. . .

When will we learn
That all we are is dust in the wind
Time for the healing to begin
All we is are dust in the wind
Time for the healing to begin
All we are is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind

You guys keep it up and I may be forced to get my guitar out from under my bed, trim my finger nails,(I don't know how Dolly plays with those claws of hers),go through every FAKE book I have and relive my youth.
