----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was eight years old when I fell in love
It seems like yesterday
Down the old mill road in a pretty house lived
Some folks not far from me
#01)
She's been a little wallflower on the shelf
Standing by herself
Now she got the nerve to take the chance
#02)
Flowers have blooms
The ocean has waves
The sky has clouds
People have babes
#03)
I didn't mean to start it
Ooh, I wish it was all just a dream
#04)
Like a bird on the wing
When he knows it's early spring
#05)
Spent a lifetime looking for somebody
To give me love like you
Now you told me that you wanna leave me
Darling, I just can't let you
#06)
First, I'd put heaven by your side
Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walked, honey
And over your head would be the bluest sky
#07)
Don't bother cryin'
Don't bother crawlin'
It's all over now
No use in stallin'
#08)
I give my heart to you
And as the years go by
It will be true
I'll always hold you near
Sure as the stars above
#09)
You got to put on the step-up hydraulic double dynamo reversible booster
You got to activate the decompression activator
And you got to put on the anti-magnetic degaussing system
#10)
You don't drive a big fine car
You don't look like a movie star
And on your money we won't get far
#11)
Please let me have a chance with you
For I like to do the monkey too
And let's get together
#12)
And now it's over, I'm awake at last
Old heartaches and memories from the past
It was just another dream about my lost love
#13)
Not even when you're glancing by
For I won't weaken
When we're speaking
#14)
Just got a job on the railroad
The work is hard and long
But I'm gonna build us a future
And show your daddy he's wrong
#15)
Each night seems like the Fourth of July
When stars spangle the sky
Dreams can come true
If you believe they do
#16)
You were with a guy named Joe
Then all at once you said you had to go
I never even caught your name
#17)
He'll never love you
The way that I love you
'Cause if he did, no no
He wouldn't make you cry
#18)
All you fellas, gather 'round me
And let me give you some good advice
What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now
You better think about it twice
#19)
Don't want your jewelry
Or money too
And nothin' else, nothin' else you said you would do
#20)
Have you searched through all your dreams?
Did you ever find a trace of me?
Even though you say we're through
That I'm not the one for you
#21)
I want a man with lots of charm
I want a man, no false alarm
The kind of guy who'll kiss my tears when I cry
#22)
And listen, girls, when you give your heart away
You can easily be hurt
And the least little wrong he does
Always seems like dirt
#23)
Just see me now
Makes it worth the time I've waited
She was all I need to make me see, oh yeah
I keep hopin' with all my might
Everything's gonna turn out right
#24)
You said your love was true
And we'd never, never ever part
Now you want someone new
And it breaks my heart
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
That's when I think of you
You say, but yet I wonder
If your love was ever true
#T1)
My home's across the river
My home's across the water
Oh-oh, oh-oh, Hannah
#T2)
