Here Comes That Rainbow Again Lyrics

Song by Kris Kristofferson

The scene was a small roadside café
The waitress was sweepin’ the floor
Two truck drivers drinkin’ their coffee
And two okie kids by the door

“How much are them candies?” They asked her
“How much have you got?” She replied
“We’ve only a penny between us”
“Them’s two for a penny, ” she lied

And the daylight grew heavy with thunder
With the smell of the rain on the wind
Ain’t it just like a human?
Here comes that rainbow again

One truck driver called to the waitress
After the kids went outside
“Them candies ain’t two for a penny”
“So what’s it to you?” She replied
In silence they finished their coffee
Then got up and nodded goodbye
She called, “Hey, you left too much money”
“So what’s it to you?” They replied

And the daylight was heavy with thunder
With the smell of the rain on the wind
Ain’t it just like a human?
Here comes that rainbow again

Please Don’t Tell Me How the Story Ends

Song by Kris Kristofferson

This could be our last goodnight together
We may never pass this way again
Just let me enjoy ’till its over
Or forever
Please don’t tell me how the story ends

See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday this may be all
That we’ll remember
Of each other
Please don’t tell me how the story ends

Never’s just the echo of forever
Lonesome as the love that might have been
Just let me go on loving and believing
‘Till it’s over
Please don’t tell me how the story ends

Please don’t tell me how the story ends

Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do Again) Lyrics

Kris Kristofferson

I’ve seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turning on the world the way she smiles upon my soul as I lay diing
Healing with the colors of the sunshine and the shadow of her eyes

Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I’ve been
Teaching me that yesterday was
Something that I never thought of trying
Talking about tomorrow and the money love and time we’d have to spend
Loving her was easier than anything I’ll ever do again
Coming close together with a feeling
That I’ve never know before, in my time
She ain’t afraid to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
I don’t know the answer to the easy
Way she opens every door in my mind
Dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
Loving her was easier than anything I’ll ever do again

Loving her was easier than anything I’ll ever do again

Help Me Make It Through The Night

Kris Kristofferson, Lorrie Morgan

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

Golden Ring Lyrics

In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
She smiles an’ nods her head as he says, “Honey, that’s for you
It’s not much, but it’s the best that I can do”
Golden rings with one tiny little stone
(Golden ring)
Waiting there for someone to take you home
(Waiting there)
By itself, it’s just a cold metallic thing
(By itself)
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon
An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune
Tears roll down her cheeks and happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low, “With this ring, I thee wed”
Golden rings with one tiny little stone
(Golden ring)
Shining ring now at last it’s found a home
(Shining ring)
By itself, it’s just a cold metallic thing
(By itself)
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
In a small two room apartment as they fought their final round
He says, “You won’t admit it, but I know you’re leavin’ town”
She says, “One thing’s for certain, I don’t love you any more”
And throws down the ring as she walks out the door
Golden ring with one tiny little stone
(Golden ring)
Cast aside like the love that’s dead and gone
(Cast aside)
By itself, it’s just a cold metallic thing
(By itself)
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
Golden ring

He Stopped Loving Her Today Lyrics

Song by George Jones

He said, “I’ll love you till I die”
She told him, “You’ll forget in time”
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
But he still loved her through it all
Hoping she’d come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single, I love you

I went to see him just today
Oh, but I didn’t see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I’d seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they’ll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

You know, she came to see him one last time (ooh)
Ah, and we all wondered if she would (ooh)
And it kept runnin’ through my mind (ooh)
“This time he’s over her for good”

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they’ll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

Just a Closer Walk With Thee Lyrics

Just a closer walk with thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Oh, daily walking close to thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

Oh, I am weak but thou strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied as long
Oh, as I walk, let me walk, close to thee (I’ll go on)

When my feeble life is o’er
In old time for me, will be no more
Well guide me gently, safely o’er
To thy kingdom, to thy shore, to thy shore

Oh, just (just a closer walk) a closer walk with thee
(Just a closer walk, just a closer walk)
Oh, grant it Jesus, is my plea
Oh, daily (daily walking) walking close to thee
Oh, let it be (let it be), dear Lord, let it be

Just (just a closer walk) a closer walk with thee
(Just a closer walk)
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Oh, daily walking close to thee (daily walking close to thee)
Let it be (let it be), dear Lord, let it be
Oh, let it be (let it be), dear Lord, let it be
