according to my heart you’re the one for me
the one love of my life is here when you’re with me
if someone stole your love my heart would beat no more
for you’re the one my heart is always longing for

though i don’t know the reason why my dreams don’t turn out right
still i’ll keep listening to my heart who knows someday they might
for according to my heart my future will be bright
and every day i pray that my heart knows what’s right
[ steel ]
though i don’t know the reason why…
and every day i pray that my heart knows what’s right

love is where you find it when you find no love at home
and there’s nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone

the bottle is almost empty the clock just now struck ten
darling i had to call you to our favorite place again
we know it’s wrong for us to meet but the fire’s gone out at home
and there’s nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone
love is where you find it…
[ steel ]
your lips are warm and tender and your arms hold me just right
sweet words of love you remember that the one at home’s forgot
each time we say it’s last time oh but we keep a hanging on
and there’s nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone
love is where you find it…

so i sing you to sleep after the lovin’ with a song i just wrote yesterday
and i hope you can hear what the words and the music has to say
it’s so hard to explain everything that i’m feelin’ face to face i seem to go dry
but i love you so much the sound of your voice can get me high
thanks for takin’ me on a one way trip to the sun
thanks for turnin’ me into someone
i sing you to sleep after the lovin’ i brush back the hair from your eyes
and a smile on your face is so real that it makes me want to cry
and i know my song isn’t sayin’ anything new
but after the lovin’ i’m still in love with you
i sing you to sleep after the lovin’ i brush back the hair from your eyes
and that smile on your face is so real that it makes me want to cry
and i know that my song isn’t sayin’ anything new
but after the lovin’ i’m still in love with you
after the lovin’ i’m still in love with you
oh after the lovin’ i’m still in love with you

almost you fell in love with me almost you were my bride to be
but each promise that was made you have broken and betrayed
and left me with a faded memory
almost my precious dream came true almost you whispered dear i do
but someone new came by and you left me here to cry
oh how close we were almost
[ guitar ]
almost i heard the church bells ring almost i heard the choir sing
but i hear now instead all those unkind words you said i remember every little thing
almost your heart i did possess almost you brought me happiness
but dreams just won’t come true and there’s nothing i can do
oh how close we were almost

how i’d love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you
how i’d love to be alone with you
what i’d give to have the power to read your mind one hour
how i’d love to be alone with you
just to be with you one night you and me alone
kiss your lips and hold you tight have you for my own
this would be a joy unending could be a real beginning
how i’d love to be alone with you
[ guitar ]
how i’d love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you
how i’d love to be alone with you
if i only knew for certain i’d cut out all my flirtin’
how i’d love to be alone with you
just to be with you one night you and me alone
kiss your lips and hold you tight have you for my own
won’t you try to be my baby just for once and then well maybe
i could always be alone with you
won’t you try to be my baby just for once and then well maybe
i could always be alone with you and i could always be alone with you
