Whenever I need to leave it all behind

Or feel the need to get away

I find a quiet place, far from the human race

Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone

Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime

Out where the rivers like to run

I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Whenever I feel them closing in on me

Or need a bit of room to move

When life becomes too fast, I find relief at last

Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone

Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime

Out where the rivers like to run

I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone

Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime

Out where the rivers like to run

I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone

Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime

Out where the rivers like to run

I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone

Before the sun is.

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

(nobody like you...)

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...

It was introduced by Irene Dunne in the 1937 film High, Wide, and Handsome and was recorded that year by Bing Crosby for Decca (#1462, mx DLA940A, Los Angeles 9/20/37). Guy Lombardo enjoyed chart success with the song in 1937. It has become particularly associated with Peggy Lee, who sang it on her 1957 album The Man I Love.

Norma Deloris Egstrom (May 26, 1920 – January 21, 2002), known professionally as Peggy Lee, was an American jazz and popular music singer, songwriter, composer, and actress, in a career spanning six decades. From her beginning as a vocalist on local radio to singing with Benny Goodman's big band, she forged a sophisticated persona, evolving into a multi-faceted artist and performer. During her career, she wrote music for films, acted, and recorded conceptual record albums that combined poetry and music.

Someday we'll build a home on a hilltop high

You and I

Shiny and new a cottage that two can fill

And we'll be pleased to be called

"The folks who live on the hill"

Someday we may be adding a wing or two

A thing or two

We will make changes as any fam'ly will

But we will always be called

"The folks who live on the hill"

Our veranda will command a view of meadows green

The sort of view that seems to want to be seen

And when the kids grow up and leave us

We'll sit and look at the same old view

Just we two

Darby and Joan who used to be Jack and Jill

The folks who like to be called

What they have always been called

"The folks who live on the hill".

Just you know why

Why you and I

Will by and by

know true love ways

Sometimes we'll sigh

Sometimes we'll cry

And you'll know why just you and I

Know true love ways

Throughout the day's

Our true love ways

Will bring us joys to share

With those you really care

Sometimes we'll sigh

Sometimes well cry

And you'll know why just

You and I know true love ways

Throughout the day's

Our true love ways

Will bring us joys to share

With those you really care

Sometimes we'll sigh

Sometimes well cry

And you'll know why just

You and I know true love ways.
