Child you're talking of freedom

Painted on your garden wall

It's not there at all

Child you're talking of wisdom

You say wisdom is a golden rule

You ain't no fool

But you don't know who it is

Who calls you name

In the light of the golden moon

You don't know who it is who brought you here

And chained up your heart

So soon

Child you're life is a fairytale

And it's not the same

And the clouds

You're hiding behind

In your misty mind have disappeared

Like a sailor far from the shores of your dreams

And far from the love of your home

Sailor lost on your own misty seas

And the chains on your heart, baby

Might be my love

Might be my love

It's so confusing

And you feel that you're loosing yourself

But, there over the mountain

You thought you'd never have to climb

There's a road

Reaching and stretching

To the corner of your mind

Like a river casts aside the dust

And grows and grows as it flows

The feeling deep inside of you

Must break like a dam

So set you free

So set you free

So set you free

If you see me walking down the street

And I start to cry each time we meet

Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe

that you don't see the tears

Just let me grieve

in private 'cause each time I see you

I break down and cry

And walk on by (don't stop)

And walk on by (don't stop)

And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you

And so if I seem broken and blue

Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride

Is all that I have left

So let me hide

The tears and the sadness you gave me

When you said goodbye

Walk on by

and walk on by

and walk by (don't stop)

Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride

Is all that I have left

So let me hide

The tears and the sadness you gave me

When you said goodbye

Walk on by (don't stop)

and walk on by (don't stop)

and walk by (don't stop)

If I needed you

Would you come to me,

Would you come to me,

And ease my pain?

If you needed me

I would come to you

I'd swim the seas

For to ease your pain

In the night forlorn

The morning's born

And the morning shines

With the lights of love

You will miss sunrise

If you close your eyes

That would break

My heart in two

The lady's with me now

Since I showed her how

To lay her lily

Hand in mine

Loop and Lil agree

She's a sight to see

And a treasure for

The poor to find

I'LL BE HERE IN THE MORNING

Don Williams (born May 27, 1939, Floydada, Texas, United States) is an American country singer, songwriter and a 2010 inductee to the Country Music Hall of Fame. He grew up in Portland, Texas, and graduated in 1958 from Gregory-Portland High School. After seven years with the folk-pop group Pozo-Seco Singers, he began his solo career in 1971, singing popular ballads and amassing 17 number one country hits.

His straightforward yet smooth bass-baritone voice, soft tones, and imposing build earned him the nickname: "Gentle Giant" of country music.

There's no stronger wind than the one that blows

down a lonesome railroad line

No prettier sight than looking back

on a town you left behind

There is nothin' that's as real

as a love that's in my mind

Close your eyes

I'll be here in the morning

close your eyes

I'll be here for a while

There's lots of things along the road

I'd surely like to see

I'd like to lean into the wind

and tell myself I'm free

but your softest whisper's louder

than the highways call to me

Close your eyes

I'll be here in the morning

close your eyes

I'll be here for a while

All the mountains and the rivers

and the valleys can't compare

to your blue lit dancin' eyes

and yellow shining hair

I could never hit the open road

and leave you layin' there

Close your eyes

I'll be here in the morning

close your eyes

I'll be here for a while

Lay your head back easy, love,

close your cryin' eyes

I'll be layin' here beside you

when the sun comes on the rise

I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails

and the lonesome bluejay cries.

Close your eyes

I'll be here in the morning

close your eyes

I'll be here for a while[x2]
