Early Morning Rain lyrics - Eva Cassidy


[Chorus:]
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home
And I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain
With no place to go

Out on runway number 9
Big 77 set to go
But I'm stuck here on the ground
Where the cold winds blow
Your can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So I best be on my way in the early morning rain

Hear her mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound far above my home she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flying past my home
In about 3 hours time

[Chorus]

Tennessee Waltz lyrics Eva cassidy

I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to meet
I introduced her to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
I know now just what I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
I know now just what I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

Oh, the beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

I Can Only Be Me lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Butterflies begin
From having been another
As a child is born, from being in a mother's womb
But how many times have you wished you were some other
than someone who you really are
Yeah who's to say that if all were uncovered
You will like what you see
You can only be you
Cause I can only be me

Flowers cannot bloom
Until it is their season
As we would not be there
Unless it was our destiny
But how many times have you wished to be in spaces
Time places than what you were
Yeah who's to say that unfamiliar places
You could anymore be loving you that you see
You can only be you
Cause I can only be me

Danny Boy lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.
From Glenn to Glenn and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go, and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow.
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
'Tis I'll be there in Sunshine or in Shadow
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.

But if you come, when all the roses are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be.
Go out and find the place where I am lying.
And kneel and say an "Ave" for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be.
Then you shall bend and tell me that you love me
I'll will sleep in peace until you come to me.

Emotional Step lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I know you've been hurt before
I've seen the pain
Your heart's been an open book
Revealing all to those
Who look deep into my eyes
Can't you realize
The love I just can't hide

And when a question comes to mind
With the answer lost in time
It's true I'll be right there by your side
I'll be all you'll ever need
If you trust in me
'Cause the only way you'll see
Is to listen to what your heart keeps telling you

Take that emotional step
And bring your love to me
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
And fall in love
And my love will be forever yours

My love's knocking at your door
Don't hesitate
I know what you're searching for
A love so real you'll only feel
When you hold my hand
Love's alive again
And you will understand

And if the storm cloud appears
Love will guide us through the tears
It's true my love will be right there for you
Let me be your all and all
I'll never let you fall
You're gonna know the truth
That all this time your heart's been telling you

Take that emotional step
And bring your love to me
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
And fall in love
And my love will be forever yours

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

I'll be all you'll ever need
If you trust in me
'Cause the only way you'll see
Is to listen to what your heart keeps telling you

Take that emotional step
And bring your love to me
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
Oh take that emotional step
And fall in love
And my love will be forever
You know my love will be forever yours

Take that emotional step
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
(Oh oh oh oh)
And fall in love
I'm gonna be right there for you
Take that emotional step
I wanna be [fade out]

The Waiting Is Over lyrics - Eva cassidy

I asked a question looked to the sky
Waited to hear a reply
I wanted to know
What the future would hold
Would I spend my life looking for you

The waiting is over today
The waiting is over forever

I noticed a feeling awake in my heart
The moment my eyes turned to you
A warmth in my soul
That slowly took hold
The power of love takes control

The waiting is over today
The waiting is over forever

As I turned away I noticed a smile
A joyous gleam in your eye
I headed out laughing
You by my side
Together the rest of our life

Oh the waiting is over today
Yeah the waiting is over for ever
The waiting is over today
The waiting is over

You Are lyrics - Eva Cassidy

When we were oh so young
We played those silly games
Never knew about love
Would know it if it came

We swore we'd never part
Thing's would always be the same
As we got a little older
All things do change

But that was long ago
Seems a lifetime away
And I bet you didn't know
That I feel the same way today

You are the one (yeah yeah)
My heart goes crazy (crazy for you)
I can't explain
It's just the way that you are (you are)

Walking hand in hand
As we stroll along the shore
Not a care in the world (ah)
Who could ask for more

In the middle of the storm
In the middle of a storm
I can't seem to find my way
Turn around and I see you reaching out to me

But then the sun would rise (uh uh)
The start of a brand new day
Was it all in my mind
Or were you right here by my side

You are the one
My heart goes crazy
I can't explain
It's just the way that you are (oh yeah yeah)
You are the one

You are the one
My heart goes crazy (my heart goes crazy)
When I look at you baby
I can't explain (oh oh)
It's just the way that you are (oh oh oh oh)

You are the one that brightens up my day (day)
My heart goes crazy
When I hear you name
I can't explain
It's just the way that you are (oh yeah)

You are the one that brightens up my day (yeah)
(My day)
My heart goes crazy
When I hear your name
My heart goes crazy
When I hear your name (oh)
I can't explain
It's just the way that you are

You are the one that makes me come alive
My heart goes crazy (just to be by your side)
I can't explain
It's just the way that you are

[Scat]

You are the one

[Scat]

My heart goes crazy (oh yeah)
I can't explain
It's just the way that you are

(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman lyrics - Eva Cassidy


Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you my life was so unkind
You're the key to my peace of mind

'Cause you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more

'Cause you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Oh baby what you've done to me
You made me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You know you make me feel so alive

'Cause you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Oh you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Yeah you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
Yeah

Little Children lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Dark night broken lights
A boy on the corner with his hands held high
He sees a gun sees an eye
But he'd rather get shot than give it up

Works for a violent man
Who expects to get money when he sees him again
And if he doesn't die on the corner tonight
It won't take too long to catch him

Children throw their lives away yeah
A little more dying every day

Little young man he ain't got a lot
But he'd sell his whole world just to get what you've got
He's not even sure if his body's hooked
But if he gets a little higher he could fly away

Little young lady watch her children play
There's two outside and one on the way
She hasn't seen her man in a thousand days
Since the police came around and took him away

Children throw their lives away
A little more dying every day

Children throw their lives away
A little more dying every day

Children throw their lives away yeah
A little more dying every day

Sirens scream through the empty streets
Headed to the scene of another mistake
One man hanging on the edge of life
The other one thrown in a bag

The children watch the children think
That the bottom line is that nothing's free
But it doesn't take much to end a life
When the thoughts stop coming out straight

Children throw their lives away
A little more every day

I've Got This Feeling lyrics - Eva cassidy


I've got this feeling
Deep down inside
And it makes me feel so good
I just can't disguise
If you'll allow me to take your hand
Gonna do my best oh
To make you understand

I've got this feeling
And I know you'll agree
There's a lot of love between us
That came so naturally
There's not a moment
That passes by
That I don't think of you

And here's the reason why (I've got this feeling)
I've got this feeling ('bout you and I)
Boy we can make it if we try
Oh we let our loves pass
Like two ships in the night
And I know that this love is so right
Oh oh

Let's walk together baby hand in hand
We'll turn our backs to see
One footprint in the sand
That's just to say that
We're together in love
Just a symbol that shows
That we are one (look in my eyes)

Look into my eyes (surely you'll find)
Surely you'll find (our souls combine)
Our souls combine

And we will be together in love
(I've got this feeling)
(That our love can survive)
And we're gonna make it last
Through the test of time
Let's stick together
Just you and I ('cause I know that this love)
(Is so right)
It's so right

I've got this feeling
That our love can survive
And we're gonna make it last
Through the test of time
Let's stick together just you and I
('Cause I know that this love)
(Is so right)
Oh oh oh (look in my eyes)

Look into my eyes (surely you'll find)
Surely you will find (our souls combine)
Our souls combine

And we will be together in love (I've got this feeling)
(That our love can survive)
And we're gonna make it last
Through the test of time
Let's stick together just you and I
'Cause I know
I know I know

That it feels so right (I've got this feeling)
('Bout you and I)
(Boy we can make it if we try)
We let our love pass (We let our love pass)
Like to ships in the night
And I know (and I know that this love)
(Is so right)

(I've got this feeling)
I've got this feeling (that our love can survive)
(And we're gonna make it last)
(Through the test of time
Let's stick together
Just you and I ('cause I know that this love)
(Is so right)

I've got this feeling (I've got this feeling)
(I've got this feeling)
Oh oh

When It's Too Late lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Mother looks into your room
All your favorite things
Never moving
Recall a night
You went out to have some fun
Racing down the road
Never returning
Tragedy can stop the beating heart
Society stops a life before it starts

Brother playing in the yard
Too young to understand
Never forgiving
He waits patiently
Through the slowly ending days
For the guiding hand
That's never returning
Foolishness disguised as having fun
Promises destroyed

When the night is done
When it's too late
To mend your broken heart
When it's too late
For a love that you can share
When it's too late
To show how much you need them
When it's too late
To show how much you care

Memories can't mend a broken heart
A human life so badly torn apart
Badly torn apart
Foolishness disguised as having fun
Promises destroyed
When the night is done
When it's too late

On The Inside lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Just going home to an empty room
I never thought I'd find someone
Who'd love me true

'Cause I know true love is on the inside
It's not something you can buy
It comes from a heart that's true
(True love is one the inside)

'Cause when you say that I love you
You know you've got to feel it too
True love is on the inside
It's not just the things you say
When words can just fade away
(True love is one the inside)
'Cause I don't need to be with you
To know the love I feel is true

You said you love me
Then she called
I heard you whisper Yes I love you
Something's wrong
Something's wrong
Oh you tell me that you love me
Am I the only one you see
Because if love is what you feel
How could you tell her what you're telling me

(True love is one the inside)
(It's not something you can buy)
It comes from a heart that's true
True love is one the inside

'Cause when you say that I love you
You know you've got to feel it too
True love is on the inside
It's not just the things you say
When words can just fade away
(True love is on the inside)
'Cause I don't need to be with you
To know the love I feel is true

You tell me that you love me
So I can fill your fantasies
But I won't be the love you need
Unless it's love in the first degree
True love is one the inside
It's not something you can buy
It comes from a heart that's true
True love is one the inside

'Cause when you say that I love you
You know you've got to feel it too
True love is on the inside
It's not just the things you say
When words can just fade away
(True love is on the inside)
'Cause I don't need to be with you
To know the love I feel is true

True love is one the inside
It's not something you can buy
Oh you can't buy my love
(True love is on the inside)
'Cause when you say that I love you
You know you've got to feel it too
Oh oh oh

Emotional Step (Radio Edit) lyrics - Eva Cassidy


I know you've been hurt before
I've seen the pain
Your heart's been an open book
Revealing all to those
Who look deep into my eyes
Can't you realize
The love I just can't hide

And when a question comes to mind
With the answer lost in time
It's true I'll be right there by your side
I'll be all you'll ever need
If you trust in me
'Cause the only way you'll see
Is to listen to what your heart keeps telling you

Take that emotional step
And bring your love to me
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
And fall in love
And my love will be forever yours

My love's knocking at your door
Don't hesitate
I know what you're searching for
A love so real you'll only feel
When you hold my hand
Love's alive again
And you will understand

And if the storm cloud appears
Love will guide us through the tears
It's true my love will be right there for you
Let me be your all and all
I'll never let you fall
You're gonna know the truth
That all this time your heart's been telling you

Take that emotional step
And bring your love to me
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
And fall in love
And my love will be forever yours

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

I'll be all you'll ever need
If you trust in me
'Cause the only way you'll see
Is to listen to what your heart keeps telling you

Take that emotional step
And bring your love to me
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
Oh take that emotional step
And fall in love
And my love will be forever
You know my love will be forever yours

Take that emotional step
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
(Oh oh oh oh)
And fall in love
I'm gonna be right there for you
Take that emotional step
I wanna be [fade out]

Yeah you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Kathy's Song lyrics - Eva cassidy


I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls

My mind's distracted and confused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
Kiss you when you start the day

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There before the grace of you go I

Ain't No Sunshine lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he always gone too long anytime he goes away
I wonder this time where he's gone
Wonder how long he's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away

Well I know I know I know...
When he's gone
Always gone too long anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away

The Letter lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Sell me a ticket for that airplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter

[Bridge]
And I don't care how much I gotta spend
I gotta get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter

[Chorus]
Well he wrote me a letter
Said he couldn't live without me no more
Ohh listen Mister can you see
I gotta get back to my baby once more anyway

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Sell me a ticket for that airplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter

At Last lyrics - Eva Cassidy

At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ohh yeah
At last the skies above are blue
And my heart was wrapped in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh yeah yeah

You smiled ohh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
For you are mine at last

Time After Time lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback - warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say - go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

[Chorus]
If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows - you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

[Chorus]

You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

[Chorus]

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Penny To My Name lyrics - Eva CAssidy

Bill and I got married following our first born
Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby
And sometimes I think maybe I should've left here long ago

Travellers are stopping by, check their oil and their p.s.i.
Gas up and away to fly, moving down the line
But this beat-up truck & worn out shoes always give me the blues
Billy sucking down the booze nearly every night

[Chorus]
I never seen the city lights
How they must shine so bright
Not like this country night
The sky's black as coal
And this gas-station mountain home
Not a thing to call my own
How I wish I was alone
With a penny to my name

Strangers say this mountain here is beautiful beyond compare
But it's just a dumb old mountain; I see it every day
If I could see sunset skies over fields of green or ocean-tides,
City skyline in the night, I'll be dancing till the dawn

[Chorus]

Bill and I got married following our first born
Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died
Maybe Bill & I someday will find a chance to get away
Until then it's here I'll stay wishing on a star

[Chorus]

I Wandered By A Brookside lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I wandered by a brookside
I wandered by a mill
I could not hear the water
The murmuring it was still
Not a sound of any grasshopper
Nor the chirp of any bird
But the beating of my own heart
Was the only sound I heard

The beating of my own heart
Was the only sound I heard

Then silent tears fast flowing
When someone stood beside
A hand upon my shoulder
I knew the touch was kind
He drew me near and nearer
We neither spoke one word
But the beating of our own two hearts
Was the only sound I heard

The beating of our own two hearts
Was the only sound I heard

I Wish I Was A Single Girl Again lyrics - Eva Cassidy

When I was single
I went dressed up so fine
Now I am married Lord
And I go ragged all the time
Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.

I got dishes to wash
And springs to go to
When you are married, Lord
You know you got it all to do.
Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.
Yeah, Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.
Yeah, Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.

Easy Street Dream lyrics - Eva Cassidy


It's Sunday morning
I can feel inside the facts
You shake out your body
And you wake up what's late
You spent too much money last night
And I had too much to drink
Spending too much time with myself
And I don't know what to think

Any love is easy
Falls down like rain
Any love is easy
Goes out with a bad name
Any love that you find on easy street
Can only be a dream
Any love that you find on easy street
Can only be a dream

It was only for pleasure
Our love took a backseat
My heart went crazy
And my whole life skipped a beat
Shallow deed took motion down to kill it after a taste
Staring to the future now I can only see your face

Any love is easy
Falls down like rain
Any love is easy
Goes out with a bad name
Any love that you find on easy street
Can only be a dream
Any love that you find on easy street
Can only be a dream
Only a dream
Only a dream...

Anniversary Song lyrics - Eva cassidy

Today has been a special day
An anniversary, a request
That you play your piano
As the evening sun slowly sets

[Chorus]
I never thought I'd get this old dear
Never had a reason to live so long
And the Lord's been like my shadow
Even when I was wrong
No I never thought it would turn out this way

A birthday with apologies
For all the tears and the rest
And I've always saved your poetry
For those years when you forget

[Chorus]

So sing with me softly
As the day turns to night
And later I'll dream of paradise with you
I love you and good night

Woodstock lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him "Tell me where are you going?"
This he told me
"I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Got to get back to the land
And get my soul free"

We are stardust, we're golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

Can I walk along beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel like I'm a part
Of something turning round and round
And maybe it's the time of year
Maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning ...

We are stardust, we're golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was the song
And the celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation ...

We are stardust, we're golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

Way Beyond The Blue lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Oh do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Oh do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Way beyond the blue

Oh I've got a home in Glory Land
That outshines the sun
Oh I've got a home in Glory Land
That outshines the sun
Oh I've got a home in Glory Land
That outshines the sun
Way beyond the blue

Oh do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Oh do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Oh do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Way beyond the blue

Hmm, mmm ?.
Way beyond the blue

Fields Of Gold lyrics - Eva Cassidy

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
