Nanci Griffith – Love at the Five & Dime

Nanci Griffith Love at the Five and Dime

Love at the Five & Dime

Nanci Griffith

Rita was sixteen years
Hazel eyes and chestnut hair
She made the Woolworth counter shine

And Eddie was a sweet romancer
And a darn good dancer
And they waltzed the aisles of the five and dime

And they’d sing
Dance a little closer to me
Hey, dance a little closer now
Dance a little closer tonight

Dance a little closer to me
Hey, it’s closing time
And love’s on sale
Tonight at this five and dime

Eddie played the steel guitar
And his mama cried ’cause he played in the bars
And he kept young Rita out late at night

Soon they married up in Abelene
Lost a child in Tennessee
But still that love survived

And they’d sing
Dance a little closer to me
Hey, dance a little closer now
Dance a little closer tonight

One of the boys in Eddie’s band
Took a shine to Rita’s hand
So , Eddie ran off with the bass man’s wife

Oh, but he was back by June
Singin’ a different tune
Sporting Miss Rita back by his side

And they’d sing
Dance a little closer to me
Hey, dance a little closer now
Dance a little closer tonight

Eddie played in the barroom band
‘Til arthritis took his hands
Now he sells insurance on the side

And Rita’s got her house to keep
She sells dime store novels with a love so sweet
And they dance to the radio late at night and still sing

And they’d sing
Dance a little closer to me
Hey, dance a little closer now
Dance a little closer tonight

Crosby, Stills & Nash – Helplessly Hoping

6,956,190 views Jul 25, 2012Lyrics:

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers

Nearby awaiting a word

Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit

He runs wishing he could fly

Only to trip at the sound of goodbye

Wordlessly watching he waits by the window

And wonders at the empty place inside

Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams

He worries did he hear a goodbye?

Or even hello?

They are one person

They are two alone

They are three together

They are for each other

Stand by the stairway you’ll see something certain

To tell you confusion has its cost

Love isn’t lying it’s loose in a lady

Who lingers saying she is lost

And choking on hello

They are one person They are two alone They are three together They are for each other

Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton – You’ll Never Be the Sun

Lyrics

You’ll never be the sun turning in the sky
And you won’t be the moon above us on the moonlit night
And you won’t be the stars in heaven although they burn so bright
But even on the deepest ocean you will be the light

You may not always shine as you go barefoot over stones
You might be so long together or you might walk alone
And you’ll find that love comes easy
Or that love is always right
So even when the storm clouds gather you will be the light

And if you lose a parting side when love turns round on you
Leaving the past behind is knowing you’ll do like you always
Holding you blind
keeping you true

You’ll never be the sun turning in the sky
and you won’t be the moon above us on the moonlit night
and you won’t be the stars in heaven although they burn so bright
but even on the deepest ocean you will be the light
you will be the light
you will be the light

Emmylou Harris – Wrecking Ball by Neil Young

Emmylou Harris ‘Wrecking Ball’

jedi26

Lyrics

My life’s an open book, you read it on the radio
We’ve got nowhere to hide, we got nowhere to go
But if you still decide you want to take a ride

Meet me at the Wrecking Ball, Wrecking Ball
I’ll wear something pretty and white
And we’ll go dancing tonight
Meet me at the Wrecking Ball, Wrecking Ball
I’ll wear something pretty and white
And we’ll go dancing tonight

I see smokey eyes right across the bar
I’ve seen that look before shining from star to star
Though I can’t take that chance
If you’ve got time for one dance

Meet me at the Wrecking Ball, Wrecking Ball
I’ll wear something pretty and white
And we’ll go dancing tonight
Meet me at the Wrecking Ball, Wrecking Ball
I’ll wear something pretty and white
And we’ll go dancing tonight

The restless line of cars goes stretching down the road
But I won’t telephone ’cause you might say hello
What is it makes me feel this way?
What is it makes me want to say?

Meet me at the Wrecking Ball, Wrecking Ball
I’ll wear something pretty and white
And we’ll go dancing tonight
Meet me at the Wrecking Ball, Wrecking Ball
I’ll wear something pretty and white
And we’ll go dancing tonight
