Honky Tonk Angels

Dolly Parton Honky Tonk Angels Lyrics
1.It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels

As I sit here tonight, the juke box playing
The tune about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words that you are saying
It brings memories of when i was a trusting wife

It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

Break

It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
It's not true that only you men feel the same
From the start most every heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame


2.Put It Off Until Tomorrow

Put it off until tomorrow
Wo-wo
You've hurt me enough today
You say our love is over
That you have found another
You say you're going away

But leave me tomorrow
Wo-wo
You've hurt me enough today

You've hurt me enough today
I can't believe the words you say
But i must accept the fact
You won't be coming back

Oh stay
Stay just one more day
Loneliness isn't far away

Put it off until tomorrow
Wo-wo
You've hurt me enough today
Put it off until tomorrow
Wo-wo
You've hurt me enough today


3.Silver Threads And Golden Needles

silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And i'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine.
You can't buy my love with money, for i never was that kind,
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of
mine.

I don't want your golden mansions with a tear in every room,
All i want's the love you promised, beneath the halo moon.
But you think i should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' game.

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And i'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine.
You can't buy my love with money, for i never was that kind,
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of
mine.


4.Please Help Me I'm Falling(In Love With You)

Please help me, i falling
In love with you
Close the door to temptation
Don let me walk through
Turn away from me, darling
I begging you to
Please help me, i falling
In love with you
I belong to another
Whose arms have grown cold
But i promised forever
To have and to hold
I can never be free, dear
But when i with you
I know that i losing
The will to be true

Please help me, i falling
And that would be sin
Close the door to temptation
Don let me walk in
For i mustn want you
But, darling, i do
Please help me, i falling
In love with you


5.Sittin' On The Front Porch Swing

I remember a time when the bloom was on the cotton
When our hearts chased the clouds like the swallow on the wing
When our cares which were already few, some forgotten
Just sitting on the front porch swing

Oh we'd sit every Sunday, and watch the married ladies
And we'd dream of white dresses and church bells in the spring
And they'd talk and paint their nails while they let us hold
their babies
Sitting on the front porch swing

Where was I when the time came to join the married ladies
Why did I paint the nail when the finger had no ring
Why do I sit at my age and long to hold their babies
Sitting on the front porch swing

When the mind longs to follow, but the memory erases
And the lips form the words that the heart no longer sings
When the leaves in the hollow have been dyed to match our faces
Sitting on the front porch swing

Oh we'll dream of the time when the bloom was on the cotton
When our hearts chased the clouds like the swallow on the wing
But the words to the rhyme are not the only things forgotten
Sitting on the front porch swing


6.Wings Of A Dove

When troubles surround us, when evils come
The body grows weak
The spirit grows numb
When these things beset us, god doesn't forget us
He sends us his love
Chorus:

On the wings of a snow-white dove
He sends his pure sweet love
A sign from above
On the wings of a dove

When jesus went down through the river that day
Well, he was baptised in the usual way
And when it was done
God blessed his son
He sent him his love
On the wings of a dove

Repeat chorus twice


7.I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know

I forgot more than you'll ever know about her.

You think you know the smile on her lips
The thrill and the touch of her fingertips
But i forgot more than you'll ever know about her.

You think you'll find heaven of bliss
In each caress, in each tender kiss
But i forgot more than you'll ever know about her.

You stole her love from me one day
You didn't care, oh, it hurt me
But you can never steal away memories of what used to be.

You think she's yours, to have and to hold
Someday you'll learn, when her love grows cold
But i forgot more than you'll ever know about her.


8.Wouldn't It Be Great

Wouldn't it be fine if you could love me
Just one time with a sober mind
Wouldn't that be fine
Now wouldn't that be fine
Wouldn't that be great
Throw the old glass crutch away and watch it break
Wouldn't that be great
It's for our sake
Wouldn't that be great
Wouldn't it be great
If you could love me first and let the bottle wait
Now wouldn't that be great
Wouldn't that be great
Wouldn't that be great
Wouldn't that be great
Throw the old glass crutch away and watch it break
Wouldn't that be great
It's for our sake
Wouldn't that be great
Wouldn't it be good
And I know you could if you just would
Wouldn't it be good
And you know you could


9.That's The Way It Could Have Been


10.Let Her Fly

There's a wreath on the door
She don't live here no more
As of today, she flew home
And we all gathered here
In sorrow and tears
It won't be the same with her gone
There's a place on the hill
That's peaceful and still
Where she'll sleep beside daddy again
The ole' family tree is shedding its leaves
But we'll all met in heaven again

Chorus:

Oh, she's an angel
Let her fly, let her fly
She's gone home to glory
To her home in the sky
When god sees her comin'
Heaven's choir will smile
And sing, 'oh she's an angel, let her fly, let her fly
Ooh, she's an angel, let her fly'

She used to rock me when i was a child
Sing 'rock of ages' and 'in the sweet bye and bye'
Her life wasn't easy, oh but how hard she tried
You know she's an angel, lord, so let her fly

Repeat chorus

Tag:

Let her fly
Ooh she's an angel, let her fly
