It's Only Me 04:12
It's Only Me Turn away if you get real mad try not to lose it, it just ain't that bad hold those horses back, boy they'll take you for a ride if you go with the flow she'll sail with the tide Now, you might drink if you're feeling down hiding behind the mask of a drunken clown you know it's wrong you're only hiding from yourself just leave that bottle there on the shelf It's only you, it's only me It's always easier to believe that it's all spelled out in black and white that somebody's wrong and somebody's right You only lie when you fear the truth well there it is if you ever needed proof it's no good running away, your fears know where you hide can't take back the tears you made her cry It's only you, it's only me It's always easier to believe that it's all spelled out in black and white that somebody's wrong and somebody's right It's only me it's only you it ain't that deep you know that it's true 'cause just before the morning light nobody's wrong and nobody's right

All I'll Remember It's the smile on your face not the flowers the time or the place it's your voice when you said “I do” all I'll remember is you It's your hair, and it's your dress it's the warmth of your sweet caress oh my darling, I swear it's true all I'll remember is you And maybe sometime you'll help to remind me of the when and the where and who was there Was there music? I won't recall I won't remember too much at all If it was raining or if the sky was blue all I'll remember is you

I Got a Little Drunk I got a little drunk one night with the new girl in town I was trying to be mister cool, throwing my money around she was telling me I was everything that she could ever need so I pulled out my ex wife's wedding ring and I got down on my knee Hand in hand in front of Elvis, saying “hey yeah, I do” he said “ son, are you sure? I can see you've had a few” I said “ sure hey what the hell, don't she look mighty fine?!” He said “ son, by the power vested in me, I declare you legally blind!” We went back to a local bar, to celebrate with a beer they threw us out at closing time, said “you lovebirds can't stay here” so we headed down to the Stardust Lounge put a dollar in the slot machine well the lights started flashing and the bells started ringing she said “..honey what do three cherries mean?” (that's a Jackpot baby!) So we checked into the penthouse suite, room service at the door we drank the whole damn mini-bar, and called down for some more the casino folks, they were mighty nice, they brought us French Champage they said “ who do we make this cheque out to?” and I said “ me and Mrs......Baby, what IS your name?” Next day we woke at the crack of noon, I swear these words are true we woke up in each others' arms she yelled “ WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?” I said “ I'm your man, 'least I think I am, Baby, there's no need to shout” and she was out the door before she hit the floor, she said “ I hope my husband don't find out!”

Spinning and Swirling They met long ago at a B and S ball held in the old CWA hall their eyes on their shoes and their hearts on their sleeves he held his hand out and said “may I please?” All his mates just laughed and looked on all the girls sighed, they knew she was gone her hand on his shoulder, his arm 'round her waist and the wallflowers sat and looked on As they danced alone on the floor everyone pointed and stared and as the band played an old country waltz they went spinning and swirling and falling in love spinning and swirling and falling in love They'd been wed for a year, maybe more when they sent him away to the war “be over by Christmas” he said “no more tears” we didn't see him again for some years He came home after the war picked some wildflowers and knocked on the door “sorry I'm late love, I've brought you these” he put his hand out and said “may I please” And they danced alone on the floor as the dog and the cat sat and stared and as the wireless played their old country waltz they went spinning and swirling and falling in love spinning and swirling and falling in love Now their kids are all up and grown all have families and lives of their own gold anniversary and everyone's here he put his hand out and said “may I dear?” And they danced alone on the floor as their grandchildren sat there and stared and as the band played that old country waltz they went spinning and swirling and falling in love spinning and swirling and falling in love spinning and swirling and falling in love

Foolish Pride Close the door and look around take a look at what you've found it's your own foolish pride and you know that it's true took some time to make the change now that it's all been arranged I'm not sure quite just when rather if, I'll return but you can always come and see me, you know just where I am come and free me, just take my foolish hand and maybe someday we'll get together again close the door and take your time you can always change your mind what's between us right now after all's only words just come and see me you know just where I am come and free me just take my foolish hand and maybe someday maybe somehow I hope maybe soon we'll get together again

about

Believe it or not these are all love songs, young, old, getting it right, getting it wrong, star-crossed, intoxicating or just plain intoxicated. Although the stories here are true, I have, of course, exercised some artistic freedom, altered names, places and times to protect both the guilty and the innocent. I wish to extend my gratitude to the friends that encouraged me to make this record and motivated me to use the best musicians available, seriously world class players, and I am very privileged to have my name on the same record, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.
