Now That I

(mick ralphs/badco music, inc., ascap)

Same old place
Same old city
What can i do?
I'm falling in love

I'm just an old hound dog
Roaming around, oh lord
I've got all this and heaven above

Oh, atlanta
I hear you calling
I'm coming back to you one fine day
No need to worry
There ain't no hurry cause i'm
On my way back to georgia
On my way back to georgia

I get a feeling in me
When i remember all those crazy days and crazier nights
Can't you hear the music playing?
You must have heard them saying
We're gonna rip 'em up and light up the night

Oh, atlanta
I hear you calling
I'm coming back to you one fine day
No need to worry
There ain't no hurry cause i'm
On my way back to georgia
On my way back to georgia

Same old place
It's the same old city
What can i do?
I'm falling in love

I'm just an old hound dog
Roaming around, lord, lord
I've got all this and heaven above

Oh, atlanta
I hear you calling
I'm coming back to you one fine day
No need to worry
There ain't no hurry cause i'm
On my way back to georgia
On my way back to georgia

Oh, atlanta
Hear me calling
I'm coming back to you one fine day, hey
No need to worry
There ain't no hurry cause i'm
On my way back to georgia
On my way back to georgia

It's like i always figured
You'd be gone from me so soon
A heartache would be the outcome
And i'd be singing this lonely tune

Your friends all tell me your happy now
And how good she's treating you
It looks to be the perfect love
Well tonight, i'll be lonely too

You're only trying to show me
It's no use, the pain's in your eyes
I know you've been so unhappy
Talk of new love, the words are all lies

So you'll go on pretending like always
Well tonight, i'll be lonely too

You're only trying to show me
It's no use, the pain's in your eyes
I know you've been so unhappy
Talk of new love, the words are all lies

So you'll go on pretending like always
Well tonight, i'll be lonely too

Last night my dear the rain was falling
I went to bed so sad and blue
Then i had a dream of you

I dreamed i was strolling in the evening
Underneath the harvest moon
I was thinking about you

Then we met out in the moonlight
The stars were shining in your eyes
But another was there too

I don't believe you've met my baby
You looked at her, you looked at me
I wondered who you were taking to

I shook the hand of your stranger
But i was shaking more inside
I was still wondering who

Your arm was resting on her shoulder
You smiled at her, she smiled at you
Her eyes were filled with victory

She said "my brother wants to marry"
And then my heart was filled with ease
I knew that you would marry me

(sidney cox and suzanne cox/sidney lawrence music, administered by bug, bmi)

I stood on faith and the corner of ambition
I came here to sink or swim
And to show them all that they were wrong
And though i never thought i'd make it this far

So the curtains are down
For the moment i'm someone
There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way
Now there gone
But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are

When i'm down and i'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

When i'm down and i'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Can't go on, i'm on the top of my better years
I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here

It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

When god dips his love in my heart

When god dips his pen of love in my heart
And he writes my soul a message he wants me to know
His spirit all divine fills a sinful soul of mine
When god dips his love in my heart

Well i said i wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How he brought salvation and he made me whole
But i found i couldn't hide such a love as jesus did impart
Well he made me laugh and he made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire
When god dips his love in my heart

Well sometimes though the way is dreary, dark and cold
And some unburdened sorrow keeps me from the goal
I go to god in prayer, i can always find him there
To whisper sweet peace to my soul

Well i said i wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How he brought salvation and he made me whole
But i found i couldn't hide such a love as jesus did impart
Well he made me laugh and he made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire
When god dips his love in my heart

He walked up every step of calvary's rugged way
And gave his life completely to bring a better day
My life was steeped in sin but in love he took me in
His blood washed away every stain

I said i wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How he brought salvation and he made me whole
But i found i couldn't hide such a love as jesus did impart
He made me laugh and he made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire
When god dips his love in my heart

When time was young we walked the roads together
When love was sweet i meant the world to you
Now comes the sun we'll say goodbye forever
And teardrops will kiss the morning dew

Take me and make me your lover one more time
Close in your arms as before
'til o'er your shoulder the early morning shines
Then i'll leave you and grieve you no more

When time was young we walked the roads together
When love was sweet i meant the world to you
Now comes the sun we'll say goodbye forever
And teardrops will kiss the morning dew

Daises need sunshine and roses need rain
So it was all meant to be
A wild bird needs wings, free to take to the wind
And so it was meant for you and me

When time was young we walked the roads together
When love was sweet i meant the world to you
Now comes the sun we'll say goodbye forever
And teardrops will kiss the morning dew

Teardrops will kiss the morning dew
