"Long Distance Memory"

To her I'm just some time she spent in '74
Just a closet she never opens anymore
It's sad to know that all we've become
Is just a long distance memory
A now and then call to San Antone
Well it hurts to know I'm just a friend  she'll forget
Just a piece of her life that didn't fit
And tears fill my eyes when I realize she's gone
Now I'm a long distance memory
She's a now and then call to San Antone
Will time be a healer, it's just a friend
And nothing ever fills the space where love has been
And I'm not well enough to leave well enough alone
I'm just a long distance memory
She's a now and then call to San Antone
No, I'm not well enough to leave well enough alone
I'm just a long distance memory
She's a now and then call to San Antone

"The Future Is Not What It Used To Be"

I left Decatur helping to forget her
Bought a ticket to Skowhegan, Maine
I wound up in Seattle too drunk and too rattled
To know that I caught the wrong train
I met some fast easy women and some hard drinking men
Trying to drown the sorrow in me
Aah I once had a lot but the future is not
Not what it used to be
Aah the years they went by and I went steadily down
Til I had no place to go
Made the soup lines by morning and the dives every night
Wrecking my body and soul
And then I met a lady and in time she made me forget
Yes her love set me free
Aah we ain't got a lot but the future is not
Not what it used to be
Oh I never thought I could live to get over
For the past cut a hole deep in me
But there's a chance I'll be here a while longer
At least now I wanna be
Somebody told me that you were in town
I found out today
And you know that I'm sorry to hear that you're down,,but what can I say
That I know your sorrow and I know your pain
Don't you know I know your need
I used to love you a lot, but the furture is not
Not what it used to be

"It Don't Hurt To Dream"

Arms go ahead and hold her the way we want to
Lips don't be shy kiss her the way we planned to
It will be our secret no one will ever know a thing
We're only dreaming and it don't hut to dream
Eyes keep on looking 
Ain't she a sight to see
Hands touch her hair ...Is it really as soft as it seems
Fingers caress her gently remove her wedding ring
We're only dreaming and it  don't hurt to dream
We're only dreaming
Lord if it only were real
I know we could think up a thousand ways to show her how we feel
But we'll never have her...That's the way it's gotta be
We're only dreaming and it don't hurt to dream
We'll keep on dreaming cause it don't hurt to dream

"Crystal Falling Rain"

When everyone you love hurts you in return
And when every road you take is just another lesson learned
And when the shadows catch you crying 
looking back at yesterday
Just listen to the magic sound of the crystal falling rain
As the rain comes down and you look out through the blinds
You know somewhere I'll be watching too from another place and time
And if you have a need for loving just press your lips against the pane
And know somewhere I'll be kissing you
Through the Crystal Falling Rain
For all the love we once had now it's painful to believe
That we're one more card at Christmas and one less set of keys
But if you ever count your memories and a tear falls on my cheek
Just listen to the magic sound of the crystal falling rain
As the rain comes down and you look out through the blinds
You know somewhere I'll be watching too from another place and time
And if you have a need for loving just press your lips against the pane
And know somewhere I'll be kissing you
Through the Crystal Falling Rain
