This World Is Not My Home

by Merle Haggard

This world is not my home I’m just a passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven’s not my home then lord what will I do
The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore

They’re all expecting me, and that’s one thing I know,
My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go;
I know He’ll take me thro’ tho’ I am weak and poor,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven’s not my home Then lord what will I do
The angels beckon me From heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home In this world anymore

I have a loving Savior up in glory-land,
I don’t expect to stop until I with Him stand,
He’s waiting now for me in heaven’s open door,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.

Just over in Gloryland
We’ll live eternally
The saints on every hand are shouting victory
Their songs of sweetest praise
Drift back from heaven’s shore
And I can’t feel at home In this world anymore

Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you
If heaven’s not my home Then lord what will I do
The angels beckon me From heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home In this world anymore.

Imagine That Lyrics

Song by Don Williams

No more nights sleepin’ alone
In an empty bed, in an empty home
Someone to talk to
Someone to hold in my arms

Imagine that, how sweet it’d be
To have you here again with me
Oh, Lord, I wish I had you back
But all I can do is imagine that

No more silence in the hall
No more starin’ at the wall
Someone to laugh with
Someone to share in my dreams

Imagine that, how sweet it’d be
To have you here again with me
Oh, Lord, I wish I had you back
But all I can do is imagine that

Imagine that, how sweet it’d be
To have you here again with me
Oh, Lord, I wish I had you back
But all I can do is imagine that

About Don William

Don William is revered as one of the finest singers of country music, and popularly known as “The Gentle Giant.” He was born in Floydada, the pumpkin capital of the United States, grew up in Portland, Texas.

Sing Me Back Home Lyrics

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
“Let my guitar playing friend do my request

“Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the streets
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, “There’s a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once before you move along?

“Sing me back home, the the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

Won’t you sing me back home, the the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die

(Turn Out the Light And) Love Me Tonight

Don Williams

I’ve been lonesome I’ve been empty I got an achin’ way down inside
I need someone someone to hold me
Pull down the shade turn out the light and love me tonight
Don’t think about tomorrow it don’t matter anymore
We can turn the key and lock the world outside the door
I need you so now come on let go now
Kick off your shoes turn out the light and love me tonight

Now don’t you worry we’re all alone now let your hair down sit by my side
Turn off the TV put on some music
Pull down the shade turn out the light and love me tonight
Don’t think about tomorrow

I Believe in You Lyrics

Song by Don Williams

I don’t believe in superstars
Organic food and foreign cars
I don’t believe the price of gold
The certainty of growing old
That right is right and left is wrong
That north and south can’t get along
That east is east and west is west
And being first is always best

But I believe in love
I believe in babies
I believe in mom and dad
And I believe in you

Well I don’t believe that heaven waits
For only those who congregate
I like to think of God as love
He’s down below, he’s up above
He’s watching people everywhere
He knows who does and doesn’t care
And I’m an ordinary man
Sometimes I wonder who I am

But I believe in love
I believe in music
I believe in magic
And I believe in you

I know with all my certainty
What’s going on with you and me
Is a good thing
It’s true, I believe in you

I don’t believe virginity
Is as common as it used to be
In working days and sleeping nights
That black is black and white is white
That Superman and Robin Hood
Are still alive in Hollywood
That gasoline’s in short supply
The rising cost of getting by

But I believe in love
I believe in old folks
I believe in children
I believe in you

I believe in love
I believe in babies
I believe in mom and dad
And I believe in you

I’ll Be Here in the Morning lyrics

Song by Don Williams

There’s no stronger wind than
The one that blows
Down a lonesome railroad line
No prettier sight than looking back
On a town you left behind
There is nothin’ that’s as real
As a love that’s in my mind

Close your eyes i’ll be here in the morning
Close your eyes i’ll be here for a while
There’s lots of things along the road
I’d surely like to see
I’d like to lean into the wind
And tell myself I’m free
But your softest whisper’s louder
Than the highways call to me

Close your eyes i’ll be here in the morning
Close your eyes i’ll be here for a while

All the mountains and the rivers
And the valleys can’t compare
To your blue lit dancin’ eyes
And yellow shining hair
I could never hit the open road
And leave you layin’ there

Close your eyes i’ll be here in the morning
Close your eyes i’ll be here for a while

Lay your head back easy, love
Close your cryin’ eyes
I’ll be layin’ here beside you
When the sun comes on the rise
I’ll stay as long as the cuckoo wails
And the lonesome bluejay cries

Close your eyes i’ll be here in the morning
Close your eyes i’ll be here for a while

You’re My Best Friend Lyrics

Song by Don Williams

You placed gold on my finger
You brought love, like I’ve never known
You gave life to our children
And to me, a reason to go on

You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all, you’re my best friend

When I need hope and inspiration
You’re always strong when I’m tired and weak
I could search this whole world over
You’d still be everythin’ that I need

You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all, you’re my best friend

You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all, you’re my best friend

Song by Don Williams

Knowin’, you stand by me
Through good and bad
Makes all the difference, in my life
Day by day, sweetheart I find
These are the ties, that bind

The little things you do, that please me so
Oh, the way you always understand
When simple joys, bring peace of mind
These are the ties, that bind

You’re all I need, to see me through
Can I say more, than this my love?
I live just, for your kiss my love
And I live, for your kiss my love

Forever, and a day, my love will live
Oh, the flame of love will never die
So heart and soul, please say you’re mine
Held by the ties, that bind

If I Needed You Lyrics

Don Williams & Emmylou Harris

(Both)
If I needed you, would you come to me?
Would you come to me for to ease my pain?
If you needed me, I would come to you.
I would swim the sea for to ease your pain.

(Emmylou)
Well the night’s forlorn and the morning’s born
And the morning’s born with the lights of love.
And you’ll miss sunrise if you close your eyes,
And that would break my heart in two.

(Both)
If I needed you, would you come to me?
Would you come to me for to ease my pain?
If you needed me, I would come to you.
I would swim the sea for to ease your pain.

(Don)
Baby’s with me now since I showed her how,
To lay her lily hand in mine.
Who could ill agree, she’s a sight to see:
A treasure for the poor to find.

(Both)
If I needed you, would you come to me?
Would you come to me for to ease my pain?
If you needed me, I would come to you.
I would swim the sea for to ease your pain.

Amanda Lyrics

Song by Don Williams

I’ve held it all inward
Lord knows I’ve tried
It’s an awful awakenin’
In a country boy’s life
When you look in the mirror
In total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders
And the age in your eyes.

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man’s wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man’s wife.

Well the measure of people
Don’t understand
The pleasures of life
In a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar
When I was fourteen
Now I’m crowding thirty
And still wearin’ jeans.

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man’s wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man’s wife.
