Charley Pride - (I'm So) Afraid Of Losing You Again - lyrics

I’m So Afraid Of Losing You Again
Sometimes I want to throw my arms around you
Then I tremble at the thought of giving in
Because I know how much it costs to love you
And I’m so afraid of losing you again
(Chorus)
Being close to you revives the sorrow
That wakes me up and tells me I can’t win
I’d love to wake up in your arms tomorrow
But I’m so afraid of losing you again
If heaven were to hear my heart’s confessions
Wanting you would be my greatest sin
But I’m glad you’re no longer my possession
‘Cause I’m so afraid of losing you again
(Repeat chorus)
I’m so afraid of losing you again

Charley Pride - A Sunshiny Day - lyrics

If I wake up in the morning when I look outside it's storming
And it seems the world is covered by clouds of grey
I don't really mind the weather baby long as we're together
In my heart it's a gonna be a sunshiny day
I don't ever pay attention about the weatherman may mention
I don't even care about what he's got to say
I surely care now if it showers when you got a love like ours
Every day is a gonna be a sunshiny day
And I'll have a sunshine day every day that I live
The sweet love that you give will make it shine
And I'll I have a sunshiny day in my heart from now on just as long as you are mine
So let the howlin' wind start blowin' let the raindrops keep on flowin'
Everytime they touch my face just kiss them away
Even with the clouds above me long as I've got you to love me
Every day is a gonna be a sunshiny day
And I'll have a sunshiny day...
So let the howlin' wind start blowin' let the raindrops keep on flowin'
Every day is a gonna be a sunshiny day yes every day is a gonna be a sunshiny day

Charley Pride - Able Bodied Man - lyrics

I'm calling from the station and I haven't got much time to let you know
Got a ticket for Misoury and there's things I need to say before I go
If I could I'd have you meet me but I don't see how I can
I don't have enough to pay your fare
There's a factory in Columbus hiring now I understand
And they're looking for an able bodied man
You should meet some money in the letter that I mailed two days ago
But when I wrote the letter saying you could come to me I didn't know
And I was goin' to lose my job in such a little while
So now we're gonna have to change our plan
They may not hire me in Columbus but I'm pretty sure they will
Cause they're looking for an able bodied man
[ steel ]
If I'd've more education now I'd've made a better life for me and you
But just simple manual labor is the only kind of work that I can do
The bus is loadin' for Misoury so I guess I'd better go
I'll call you just as soon as I can
I'll be sending you a ticket cause I think I'll get a job
If they're looking for an able bodied man and remember I'm your able bodied man

Charley Pride - A Brand New Bed Of Roses - lyrics

I'm looking for a brand new bed of roses
A love just like mine that stands the test of time
I'm looking for a brand new bed of roses a love with everlasting clinging vine
Roses and true love fade a little now and then
But with the kiss and sunshine they'll blossom once again
I'm looking for a brand new bed of roses a love with everlasting clinging vine
[ steel ]
Roses and true love...
A love with everlasting clinging vine

Charley Pride - A Poor Boy Like Me - lyrics

She grew up in the backwood country found her dreams in movie magazines
Now she's gone looking for her castle what chance is there for a poor boy like me
City lights oh you took my darling and the love that she promised me
After wine and big city parties what chance is there for a poor boy like me
Sold my house to Raverend Smith last Sunday left my farm with Abraham McGee
Had to go and rescue my darling from the life like your city folks lead
I found her dressed in fancy silks and satin spending money like it grew on trees
Living high in a big white mansion what chance is there for a poor boy like me
What chance is there for a poor boy like me

Charley Pride - A Word Or Two To Mary - lyrics

A word or two to Mary, please write a letter for me
That's what my buddy said to me today
I couldn't keep from cryin', sad eyes are looking at me
He said, I'll tell you what I wanted to say
Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you alone
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
But there's no use denyin', I won't be commin' home
Just a word or two to you before I go
Down on my knees beside him, I begged my buddy to live
I told the Lord to please take me instead
But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give
And just these words were all your husband said
Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you alone
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
But there's no use denyin', I won't be comming back home
Just a word or two to you before I go
A word or two to Mary, I must add some of my own
He was the truest friend I ever had
I'll keep writing letters to her to help the children along
Tell them in a way that it's from their Dad
He didn't mind dyin', he just hated to leave you alone
And he wished that he could see his children grow
I'll be standing by them as I know he'd want me to
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow

Charley Pride - (Is Anybody Going To) San Antone - lyrics

Is Anybody Going To San Antone?
Rain dripping off the brim of my hat
Is sure is cold today
An’ here I am walking down Sixty Six
Wish she hadn’t done me that way
Sleeping under a table in a roadside park
A man could wake up dead
But it sure seems warmer than it did
Sleeping in our king sized bed
Chorus:
Is anybody going to San Antone
Or Phoenix, Arizona
Any place is all right as long as I
Can forget I’ve ever known here
Wind whipping down the neck of my shirt
Like I ain’t got nothing on
But I’d rather fight the wind and rain
Than what I’ve been fighting at home
Yonder comes a truck with the U.S. Mail
People writing letters back home
Tomorrow she’ll probably want me back
But I’ll be just as gone
(Repeat chorus)
Any place is all right as long as I
Can forget I’ve ever known her

Charley Pride - A Shoulder To Cry On - lyrics

A Shoulder To Cry On
I came here because I knew I'd be welcome
And because somehow you always understand
You seem to have a way with lonely people
And you always were my greatest helping hand
(Chorus)
Now once again I'm here to take advantage.
Though I don't deserve the arms I left alone
I need to know there's someone who still loves me.
And I need a shoulder to cry on
I over looked the love you tried so hard to give.
The love I never seem to understand
I always stay just long enough to hurt you
And what little love I gave was second hand
(Chorus)
Now once again I'm here to take advantage
Cause once again the one I love is gone
I need to know there's someone who still loves me.
And I need a shoulder to cry on
Yes I need to know there's someone who still loves me.
And I need a shoulder to cry on

Charley Pride - A Whole Lotta Things To Sing About - lyrics

Whole Lotta Things To Sing About
(Chorus)
I’ve got a whole lot of things to sing about
I’ve gotta whole lotta things to say
Like I love you and I need you
Every night and day
I’ve gotta a whole lot of things I wanna do
I’ve gotta a whole lotta dreams to dream
And I want you here beside me
Every step of the way
I was lonely as anyone could ever be
Til you came along and gave your love to me
Now that empty world that you just walked into
Is filled with sunshine and music and the song is you
Repeat Chorus
People wonder just what has happened to me
They say I’m not at all the way I used to be
They don’t realize I’ve just begun to live
And I’m wrapped up completely in all the love you give
Repeat Chorus

Charley Pride - A Good Hearted Woman - lyrics

A long time forgotten are dreams that just fell by the way
And the good life he promised ain't what she's living today
But she never complains of the bad times or the bad things he's done Lord
She just talks about the good times they've had and all the good times to come
Cause she's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
And she loves him in spite of his ways that she don't understand
Well now through teardrops and laughter
They'll pass through this world hand in hand Lord
Cause she's a good hearted woman loving her good timin' man
He likes the night life the bright lights and good timin' friends
And when the party's over she'll welcome him back home again
Lord knows she don't understand him but she does the best that she can
Cause she's a good hearted woman she loves her good timin' man
Yes she's a good hearted woman...
Yes she's a good hearted woman she loves her good timin' man
