"My Elusive Dreams" lyrics
"My Elusive Dreams"
(originally by David Houston & Tammy Wynette)
You followed me to Texas
You followed me to Utah
We didn't find it there
So we moved on
You followed me to Alabam'
Things looked good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there
So we moved on
I know your tired
Of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For there only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
You had my child in Memphis
I heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there
So we moved on
To farm in Nebraska
To a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there
So we moved on
And now we've left Alaska
Because there was no gold mine
But this time
Only two of us move on
Now all we have is each other
And a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me
Go on alone
I know your tired
Of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For there only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
For there only fleeting things
My elusive dreams

B.J. Thomas - "Everybody's Out Of Town" Where have the people gone
Seems like there's no one hangin' on
Look through the window
The houses are empty
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like I'm the only one around.
All of the streets are...
Patti Page - "Changing Partners" We were waltzin' together to a dreamy melody
When they called out "Change partners"
And you waltzed away from me
Now my arms feel so empty as I gaze around the floor
And I'll keep on changing...
Neil Sedaka - "Trying To Say Goodbye" Many's the time I've been moved or inclined
To write maybe a song about love.
Takin' the words as they come to my mind
And I send them along with my love.
Just me and a melody
Sailing peacefully...
Tom Jones - "Love Love Love" Love, love, love
Why'd you take so long to come to me, oh, baby
Love, love, love
Tell me where you're hiding from me all the time
Each time I try to find someone to take your place
It was all in...
