- Kenny Rogers - "Handprints On The Wall"
(Blanchard, Innes and Parish)
The wait turned into hours,
Before you came my way.
The smile that filled a daddy's heart,
On that special day.
The moment left me speechless,
I didn't know what to say.
Then you took your first breath,
An' that took mine away.
Days go by so quickly;
Summer turns to fall.
Seems like only yesterday,
That you began to crawl.
So don't be afraid to take that step,
I'll catch you when you fall.
I don't mind if you leave behind,
A few handprints on the wall.
I can't describe this feeling,
Way down deep inside
"The Itsy-Bitsy Spider",
Was the first thing that we tried.
An' "Patty Cake, The Baker's Man,"
With your hands, so very small.
You could always stay this young,
And I wouldn't mind at all.
Days go by so quickly;
Summer turns to fall.
Seemed like only yesterday,
That you began to crawl.
So don't be afraid to take that step,
I'll catch you when you fall.
An' I don't mind if you leave behind,
A few handprints on the wall.
So don't be afraid to take that step,
I'll catch you if you fall.
An' I won't mind if you leave behind,
A few handprints on the wall
- Kenny Rogers with Whitney Duncan- "My World Is Over"
(Whitney Duncan, Graham Nash and Mike Post)
I didn't look over my shoulder;
I wasn't ready for this.
Didn't see the signs on the horizon.
I was so sure that you would never leave, but you did.
So sweep away the sand an' dry the ocean,
An' just pack the moon an' stars up in a cardboard box.
And stop the clouds from chimin', block the sun from shinin',
An' paint the sky a deeper shade of blue,
'Cause my world's over without you.
I know I should just keep goin',
But I don't know where to start.
I never thought I'd see the day when,
You'd go an' leave me here with my broken heart, but you did.
So sweep away the sand an' dry the ocean,
An' just pack the moon an' stars up in a cardboard box.
And stop the clouds from chimin', block the sun from shinin',
An' paint the sky a deeper shade of blue,
'Cause my world's over without you.
Maybe, someday, all the pain will fade.
Maybe, this hurt will slowly slip away.
Maybe, some days will never change,
And I'll still love you.
Stop the clouds from chimin', an' block the sun from shinin',
An' paint the sky a deeper shade of blue,
'Cause my world's over without you.
My world's over. (My world's over without you)
My world's over.
Stop the clouds from chimin'. (Stop the clouds from chimin')
An' Block the sun from shinin'. ( Block the sun from shinin')
'Cause my world's over without you. (My world's over)
