all of us have some songs that take us back to our childhoood. Although at the time they were played you probarbly thought they were boring but just because your parents or older siblings listened to them regularly you somehow identify with them as they build up your childhood memories.
Here are my few "take me backs" I remember.
Dolly Parton -If Teardrops were pennies,
An Acre of Diamonds I'd Offer to You
A Solid Gold Mansion, An Airplane Or Two
This Whole World Would Be Yours to Have and to Hold
If Teardrops Were Pennies and Heartaches Were Gold
Chorus
If Teardrops Were Pennies and Heartaches Were Gold
I'd Have All the Riches My Pockets Would Hold
I'd Be Oh So Wealthy With Treasures Untold
If Teardrops Were Pennies and Heartaches Were Gold.
The Tears That Have Fallen Won´t Buy You a Thing
The Heartaches You Caused Me Won't Pay For a Ring
The Love That I Wanted Would Not Have Grown Cold
If Teardrops Were Pennies and Heartaches Were Gold.
Repeat Chorus
But Teardrops Aren't Pennies
And Heartaches Aren't Gold
Shirley Brown's -Woman to Woman (this a girl had me singing this song recenlty but that is a story for another day-if you out there -he is mine ok)
Hello, may I speak to Barbara
Barbara, this is Shirley
You might not know who I am
But the reason I am calling you is because
I was going through my
Old man`s pockets this morning
And I just happened to find your name and number
So woman to woman
I don`t think it`s being anymore than fair
To call you and let you know
Where I`m coming from
Now Barbara
I don`t know how you`re gonna take this
But whether you be cool
Or come out of a bag on me
You see it doesn`t really make any difference
But it`s only fair that I let you know that
The man you`re in love with
He's mine
From the top of his head
To the bottom of his feet
The bed he sleeps in
And every piece of food he eats
You see, I make it possible
The clothes on his back
Ha ha, I buy them
The car he drives
I pay the note every month

So I`m telling you these things
To let you know how much I love that man
And woman to woman
I think you`ll understand
How much I`ll do to keep him
Woman to woman
If you`ve ever been in love
Then you know how I feel
And woman to woman
Now, if you were in my shoes
Wouldn`t you have done the same thing too
Oh, oh, woman to woman
Can`t you see where I`m coming from
Woman to woman
Ain`t that the same thing you would`ve done
Woman to woman
Now should I just step aside
And let her take what`s rightfully mine
Oh, oh, woman to woman
Was I right or was I wrong
I ain`t gonna let you break up my happy home
Now woman to woman
Now you see I don't want no trouble now
I hope you understand
I love that man and he`s mine
I`m talking to you
Woman to woman
You should be woman enough to understand
That man, I love that man
Woman, woman
Woman to woman, he`s mine
And I ain`t gonna give him up
My baby, I ain`t lying, now
JUDY BOUCHER-cant be with you tonight
If my love wasnt here with me tonight
I would leave with you for just a little while
But I love him the same way as I love you now
And Im sorry I cant be with you tonight
Though I want to hold you in my arms tonight
I wouldnt take the chance cause it wont be right
Maybe when we meet again some other time
Cause tonight Ill only share my love with him
So please understand my situation
I love you, but I cannot be with you
If I could be in two places at the same time
Believe me, I would share my love with you
So please understand my situation
I love you, but I cannot be with you
If I could be in two places at the same time
Believe me, I would share my love with you
Believe me, I would share my love with you
Believe me, I would share my love with you
Believe me, I would share my love with you
JIMMY REVEES-IN THE GARDEN
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known.
(He speaks and the sound of His voice)
(Is so sweet the birds hush their singing)
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known...
ANOTHER ONE BY MR REEVES-SIVLER BELLS-my fave pre xmas song
(Silver bells, silver bells)
(Soon it will be Christmas day)
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling
Of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
(Strings of street lights)
(Even stop lights)
(Blink a bright red and green)
(As the shoppers rush home)
(With their treasures)
(Hear the snow crunch)
(See the kids bunch)
(This is Santa's big scene)
(And above all this bustle)
(You'll hear)
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
(Soon it will be Christmas day)...
