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

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

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

“There’s No Way” – Alabama’s 1985 Number 1 Hit Song!(Official Video)

In the realm of country music, few bands have achieved the level of acclaim and commercial success as Alabama. Among their numerous chart-topping hits, “There’s No Way,” released in 1985, stands out not only for its melodic composition but also for its poignant lyrical content.

When “There’s No Way” reached No. 1 on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart in May 1985, it became Alabama’s 16th straight No. 1 single in as many single releases. Its success can be attributed not only to its lyrical appeal but also to the band’s adeptness at connecting with their audience on an emotional level. The song’s popularity solidified Alabama’s status as one of the preeminent forces in country music during the 1980s.

About Alabama

Alabama was the group that made country bands popular again. Emerging in the late ’70s, the band had roots in both country and rock. The band formed in Fort Payne, Alabama, in 1969. The band was founded by Randy Owen (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and his cousin Teddy Gentry (bass, backing vocals). They were soon joined by another cousin, Jeff Cook (lead guitar, fiddle, and keyboards). Alabama’s biggest success came in the 1980s, where the band had over 27 number one hits, seven multi-platinum albums and received numerous awards. The band has over 41 number one country records on the Billboard charts to their credit and have sold over 75 million records, making them the most successful band in country music history.

There’s No Way Lyrics

As I lay by your side and hold you tonight
I want you to understand
This love that I feel is so right and so real
I realize how lucky I am
And should you ever wonder if my love is true
There’s something that I want to make clear to you

There’s no way I can make it without you
There’s no way that I’d even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn’t last a day
Oh, babe, there’s no way

It means so much to me whenever I see
That ‘wanting me look’ in your eyes
I don’t know how I could do without
Holding you close every night
I’ve waited so long just to have you to hold
Now that I’ve got you
I’ll never let go

There’s no way I can make it without you
There’s no way that I’d even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn’t last a day
Oh, babe, there’s no way

I never knew until you
What I was missing
Now you say “Forever”
I find my heart, it’s listening
Yes, I’m listening

There’s no way I can make it without you
There’s no way that I’d even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn’t last a day
Oh, babe, there’s no way

Baby, there’s just no way

High Cotton Lyrics

We didn’t know the times were lean,
Round our house the grass was green,
It didn’t seem like things were all that bad,

I bet we walked a thousand miles,
Choppin’ cotton and pusing plows,
And learnin’ how to give it all we had.

As Life went on and years went by,
I saw the light in daddy’s eye,
And felt the love in mamma’s hands,
They kept us warm and kept us fed,
Taught us how to look ahead,
Now lookin’ back I understand.

We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin’ home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

When Sunday mornings rolled around,
We dressed up hand-me-downs,
Just in time to gather with the church,
Some times I think how long It’s been,
And how it impressed me then,
It was the only day my daddy wouldn’t work.

We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin’ home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin’ home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin’ in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin’ home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

Always on My Mind

Song by Elvis Presley ‧ 1972

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind (you were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl, I’m so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind (you were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind (you were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have

Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have

Kris Kristofferson wrote “Help Me Make It Through The Night” in 1970 and was released on his album Kristofferson. Kristofferson said that he got the inspiration for the song from an Esquire Magazine interview with Frank Sinatra.

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
