Lyrics: “Dear Danny I’m taking the pen in my hand, to tell you we,re just out of site of the land. In a grand Ocean Liner I’m sailing in style. but I’m sailing away from the em’rald isle, and a long sort o’sight seems to come from us all as the waves hit the last bit of auld Donegal, Oh it is well to be you that is taking yer tay where Cutting the Corn around Creeslough to-day”
Some people live for the fortune Some people live just for the fame Some people live for the power, yeah Some people live just to play the game
Some people think That the physical things Define what’s within And I’ve been there before That life’s a bore So full of the superficial
Some people want it all But I don’t want nothing at all If it ain’t you, baby If I ain’t got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain’t got you, yeah
Some people search for a fountain Promises forever young Some people need three dozen roses And that’s the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter And what good would it be With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me
Some people want it all But I don’t want nothing at all If it ain’t you, baby If I ain’t got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain’t got you, you, you
Some people want it all But I don’t want nothing at all If it ain’t you, baby If I ain’t got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain’t got you, yeah
If I ain’t got you with me, baby, oh, ooh Said nothing in this whole wide world don’t mean a thing If I ain’t got you with me, baby
The crowded streets of Brooklyn Seem a long way from my home People rushing onwards Going to and coming from You bid them time of day and They look the other way And so you end up just like them And talk to no one
Where the grass is fresh and green Where the air is pure and clean Where the gentle rivers kiss the mountain streams Although I’ve travelled far The hills of south Armagh Are the hills I’m roaming nightly in my dreams
The view from my apartment Is a junkie’s alley way My children speak in accents Not like mine My old man’s working two jobs We don’t see him much these days Oh, we’d be happy If we only had the time
I hear the hills are occupied by strangers now And the work keeps getting scarcer every day Oh, it’s a hard life when you’re forced from home To leave the ones you love Oh, it’s a hard life when you’re forced to live this way
Help Me Make It Through The Night with Lyrics KRIS KRISTOFFERSON and LADY ANTEBELLUM
Lyrics
Take the ribbon from your hair, shake it loose and let it fall Layin’ soft upon my skin, like the shadows on the wall Come and lay down by my side ’til the early morning light All I’m takin’ is your time, help me make it through the night
I don’t care who’s right or wrong, I don’t try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow, Lord tonight I need a friend Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow’s out of sight And it’s sad to be alone, help me make it through the night
Lord, it’s sad to be alone, help me make it through the night
