Something Special

Dolly Parton Something Special Lyrics
1.Change

Someday when i'm over you
And when i think i'm able to
Well, i might try to be
Your friend again
But your restless heart
And rovin' eyes
My jealousy, these
Endless fights
I've got to get out of your life
Or i will never mend
Chorus:

I guess i'll die a bit each day
But i'm always dying anyway
And i don't have the heart to
Stay, and i can't take the pain
I know we've tried to no avail
Our heaven now has
Turned to hell
The same old hurt
We know so well
And something's got
To change

We both know it's got to end
The passion's gone
It's just pretend
And one of us have got
To make the move
We might as well just give it up
We've lost respect and
There's no trust
And without this, there's
No real love
It's just some sad excuse

2nd chorus:

I guess i'll die a bit each day
But i'm always dying anyway
And there's nothing left but walk away
Ain't this a crying shame
A change of pace
A change of heart
A change of place
A place to start
And we'll be better off apart
Our only chance is change

Tag:

And we never will
But something has to change

Fade:

But someday when i'm over you
And when i think i'm able to
Then i will try to be your friend again
But i don't want to see
Your face 'til then
Change, i need a change
I need a change
We need a change


2.Crippled Bird

A broken heart like a broken wing
It must have its time to mend
I am like a crippled bird
In hopes one day to fly again
I loved you so and i was faithful
I cared more than words could say
But love is cruel and life is hateful
Now you e gone and flown away

Chorus:

Oh, to die, would be a pleasure
Slow to heal, but quick to cry
Fragile as a sparrow feather
Crippled bird too blue to fly

Oh, the loss is cold and shameful
And the grief so deep and sharp
There is nothing quite as painful
As a true blue broken heart

Repeat chorus

Fragile as a sparrow feather
Crippled bird too blue to fly


3.Green-eyed Boy

I flew off to the wild blue yonder
'cause i had a dream
And i had to go
But i'm filled with a sense of wonder
From the love i shared
With a green-eyed boy
Lips as sweet as mountain honey
A body warm as home made wine
But he had no dreams
And no means for money
But he had me just anytime

Chorus:

Take me back, if just in memory
Fill my cup again with joy
The fire still burns in the old rock chimney
And i still burn for that green-eyed boy

Now he was pretty
With chiseled features
Like the movie stars in the magazines
My first love and the son of a preacher
I fantasized me was james dean

But the world outside kept pulling at me
Offered me fame, respect, and gold
Designer clothes and a fancy mansion
Expensive cars, so i chose those

Repeat chorus twice

Ooh, ooh, how i love that green-eyed boy
Ooh, ooh, ooh, and i still miss
That green-eyed boy

Fade:

Do you think about me
When the nights are long and cold
Do you ever miss me
Do you my green-eyed boy


4.I Will Always Love You

If i should stay
Well, i would only be in your way
And so i'll go, and yet i know
That i'll think of you each step of my way
And i will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all i have, and all i'm taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
'cause we both know that i'm not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
And i hope life, will treat you kind
And i hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, i do wish you joy
And i wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, i will always love

I, i will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you


5.Jolene

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And i cannot compete with you, jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing i can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, jolene

And i can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, jolene

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But i could never love again
He's the only one for me, jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, jolene

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, jolene


6.No Good Way Of Saying Good-bye

The truth is too painful
This moment too real
Saying good-bye
But loving you still
Too late to start over
We've tried that before
And i just don't have it in me
To try anymore
Chorus:

But i know i'll miss you
And i know i'll cry
I know you loved me
And i know you've tried
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever do in my life
But i know no good way
Of saying good-bye

2nd chorus:

I know i'll miss you
And i know i'll cry
I know you loved me
And i know i'll ask why
I know i'll have moments
When i'll want to die
But i know no good way
Of saying good-bye

Tag:

And the longest night
I'll ever spend will be tonight
'cause i know no good way of saying


7.Something Special

You may not know it
I don always show it
But you e so important to me
So much that we e shared
You e always been there
I hope you always will be
Chorus:

ause you are something special, ooh-wee
Yes, you are something special to me

When i around you
The love that surrounds you
Brings comfort and warmth to my heart
A god-given treasure
You give me such pleasure
You are a true work of art

Chorus:

Yes, you are something special, yes indeed
Yes, you are something special to me

Bridge:

You e the wind eath my wings
Like the song that they sing
But there so many things that you are
An angel in my life
You are the sunlight
And you hung the moon and the stars
Yes, you e special

Turnaround

Chorus:

Yes, you are something special, ooh-wee
Yes, you are something special, yes indeed
Yes, you are something special to me
Mm-mm

Fade:

You are something special
Mm-mm, you e something special
You are something special


8.Speakin' Of The Devil

He's got a way of walkin'
He's got a way of talkin'
A way to fascinate me all the time
And he's got a way with women
A way to keep my head a swimmin'
He's got away too many times
Chorus:

Ooh, speakin' of the devil
Well, here he comes now
Lookin' like an angel
Got my defenses down
He's got me dreamin'
Got me schemin'
Ooh, speakin' of the devil
He is drivin' me wild
With that wicked little grin
And that fire in his eyes
He's got me dreamin'
Got me steamin'
Ooh, speakin' of the devil
It feels mighty close to heaven
And i'd go through hell to make him mine

He's got his spell upon me
Got to be his one and only
Burning with passion and desire
Ooh, i'm caught up in all his magic
It surely would be tragic
To never share the heat
From all this fire

Repeat chorus twice

Speakin' of the devil
Speakin' of the devil
I'd go through hell to make him mine


9.Teach Me To Trust

Maybe because it's too good to be true
Maybe because i want it so much
Maybe i fear you don't really mean it
For i feel i'm never enough
But i want you more
Than i ever wanted
Anything i can recall
But something inside
Keeps saying you'll hurt me
Do i dare to trust it at all

Chorus:

Teach me to trust
Darling you must
Or else i'll go out of my mind
When i'm not near you
I always fear you
Have somebody else on the line

Is it a fear
Or is it a knowing
A jealousy born out of truth
'cause i watch you flirt
And it's how you embrace
Them with your eyes
That say i could lose

2nd chorus:

Teach me to trust
Make me feel loved
Tell me i've no need to fear
Just make me feel safe
Whatever it takes
Tell me what i need to hear

'cause i need to feel
Important and special
Your cherished and only true love
And sometimes i think
I'll die from this feeling
If you don't teach me to trust

Tag:

Can't you reach me
And teach me to trust


10.The Seeker

Chorus:
I am a seeker
A poor sinful creature
There is no weaker than i am
I am a seeker
You are a teacher
You are a reacher
So reach down
Won't you reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me
In the shelter of your care each day
'cause i am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way

I am a vessel that's empty and useless
I am a bad seed that fell by the way
I am a loser that wants to be a winner
And you are my last hope
Don't turn me away

Chorus:

I am a seeker
A poor sinful creature
There is no weaker than i am
I am a seeker
You are a teacher
You are a reacher
So reach down
Won't you reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me, lord
In the shelter of your care each day
'cause i am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way

Oh, i know you are a mountain
From which there flows a fountain
So let it's water wash my sins away
'cause i am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way
