GEORGE JONES I CAN LOVE YOU ENOUGH [10]

George Glenn Jones (September 12, 1931 – April 26, 2013) was an American country music singer known for his long list of hit records, his distinctive voice and phrasing, and his marriage to Tammy Wynette.
For the last 20 years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer.  Country music scholar Bill C. Malonewrites, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings, in his song "It's Alright" expressed a common jealousy when he said, "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones."
Throughout his long career, Jones made headlines often as much for his drinking, stormy relationships with women, and violent rages as for his prolific career of making records and touring. His wild lifestyle led to Jones missing many performances, earning him the nickname "No Show Jones."  With the help of his fourth wife, Nancy, he was mostly sober from the mid 1980's until his death in 2013. Jones had more than 150 hits during his career, both as a solo artist and in duets with other artists. The shape of his nose and facial features gave Jones the nickname "The Possum." Jones said in an interview that he chose to tour only about 60 dates a year.
In August 2012, it was announced that at the conclusion of his 2013 tour, Jones would retire to spend more time with his family. Titled "The Grand Tour", Jones' final tour was to take place across 60 dates

1.  HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY

He said I'll love you 'til I die
She told him you'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind.

He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again.

Found love letters by his bed
Dated 19 and 62
He had underlined in red
Every single, I love you.

I went to see my friend today
Oh, but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years.

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today.
(Spoken)
Ya' know she came to see him one last time
Oh, we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good.

(Sang)
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today...

  2.     ACHING BREAKING HEART

Well, I have lived a lot
And done my part of running 'round
And never did I think
I'd let her sweet love get me down
But now, I see how wrong I was
Your part of ev'ry plan
Perhaps I'll pay, but come what may
My hearts at your command

Oh this
Aching, breaking heart of mine
Is crazy over you
And I'm afraid to let you know
How I love you like I do
For if you knew how much I care
I know what you would do
You'd drop me like the others
And go find somebody new

Last night I saw you darlin'
In the arms of someone new
And I know that you don't love him
You just want to make me blue
I guess you think that hurting me
Will make me love you more
But someday, from you darlin'
This old heart will lock it's door

Oh this
Aching, breaking heart of mine
Is crazy over you
And I'm afraid to let you know
How I love you like I do
For if you knew how much I care
I know what you would do
You'd drop me like the others
And go find somebody new

    3.    WHEN THE GRASS  GROWS OVER ME

I'll be your when the grass grows over me.

When you left I thought that I would soon get over you
Even told myself that I would find somebody too
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Chorus:
Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold
Cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me
Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute of the night I'm hurting through and through
And as long as I live I know I won't be free
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Chorus:
Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold
Cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me...

 4.      ' CAUSE I LOVE YOU

I've had my problems with runnin' 'round
But now I want to settle down
There nothin' I won't do to be with you
I'm gonna start this very day
Yes, I'm gonna change my way
There nothin' I won't do 'cause I love you.

I did agree to set you free
On you I have no claim
But now I see you're for me
Won't you please take back my name.

I'm gonna start this very day
Yes, I'm gonna change my way
There's nothing I won't do 'cause I love you.

--- Instrumental ---

I did agree to set you free

Won't you please take back my name.

I'm gonna start this very day
Yes, I'm gonna change my way
There's nothing I won't do 'cause I love you...

   5.      A WANDERING SOUL


Oh, lend me a hand please Lord and guide me
And help lead me down the road that is right
Oh, carry me through these hours of darkness
And show me the path the shining light.

I'm a wandering soul, I'm lost from my Saviour
A sheep that has strayed so far from the fold
Just tarrying along in the clutch of old Satan
But I'm hoping someday you'll save my soul.

--- Instrumental ---

Dear Lord, please forgive the grief I have caused you
The thoughts of my sins that tortured my soul
Oh, help me to know the joy of salvation
Help cleanse my life through and make me whole.

I'm a wandering soul, I'm lost from my Saviour
A sheep that has strayed so far from the fold
Just tarrying along in the clutch of old Satan
But I'm hoping someday you'll save my soul...

   6.       ALL I HAVE TO OFFER YOU IS ME

Before you take another step
There's something you should know
About the years ahead and how they'll be
You'll be living in a world
Where roses hardly ever grow
'Cause all I have to offer you is me
There'll be no mansion waiting on the hill
With crystal chandeliers
And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Everything I have is standing here
In front of you to see
All I have to offer you is me
Sweetheart, I'll give you all my love
In every way I can
But be sure that's what you want while you're still free
The only gold I have for you
Is in this wedding band
'Cause all I have to offer you is me
There'll be no mansion waiting on the hill
With crystal chandeliers
And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Everything I have is standing here
In front of you to see
All I have to offer you is me
All I have to offer you is me

  7.      HEART ACHES AND HANGOVERS

Well, tonight I hit every doggone joint in town
And while my bottle keeps a-talkin' to me it don't need you around
But tomorrow ain't gonna hold me no big surprise
I'll have a hunk in mind and a pair of bloodshot eyes.

'Cause I got heartaches and hangovers
Since you've been gone
Haertaches and hangovers now I'm all alone
Lock the door and disconnect the phone
'Cause I got heartaches and hangovers
Since you've been gone.

--- Instrumental ---

As the days go by I'm a-drinkin' more and more

Well, I like it like that
My only friend is down at the liquor store
My pride and joy it takes away the pain
And I'm a-knowin' tomorrow that things will be the same.

'Cause I have heartaches and hangovers
Since you've been gone
Haertaches and hangovers
Now I'm all alone
I lock the door and disconnect the phone
'Cause I got heartaches and hangovers
Since you've been gone.

Yes, I got heartaches and hangovers
Since you've been gone...

     8.      I CAN LOVE YOU ENOUGH

I can love you enough to keep you satisfied
And you won't have to search for someone new each night
I can hold you and make you know you are my everything
I can love you enough and let you know you're all I need.

I can be the man you dreamed of, the one you need to hold
'Cause you're my kind of woman and this time our love will grow
I can make you know that you are wanted for the rest of your life
I can love you enough and we can start tonight.

--- Instrumental ---

I will take away your lonely that you have known before
And if you should get weary I'll only love you more
I will live for you, I will love for you, you're all I'm dreaming of
I can love you enough and I will give you all my love.

I can be the man you dreamed of, the one you need to hold
'Cause you're my kind of woman and this time our love should grow
I can make you know that you are wanted for the rest of your life
I can love you enough and we can start tonight.

 9.      I FALL IN LOVE  WITH YOU EVERYDAY

I never think of searching for a new love
'Cause you would only stand in my way
I'm happy loving you and I can feel it
And I fall in love with you every day.

You do so many things that I treasure
You are the answer to the prayer I pray
The sweetness in your touch can not be measured
And I fall in love with you every day.

Everyday I see much more of heaven
'Cause you have kept my loneliness away
Sharing love with you makes life much brighter
And I fall in love with you every day.

Yes, I fall in love with you every day...

  10.           LOVE IN YOUR EYES

I've seen the Rockies bloom in the springtime
The bright scenes of scarlet and gold
And I've seen the moonlight dance on the ocean
Like a silver ballet that unfolds
I've seem the bright lights of old New York City
There's nothing in the world that shines
Like the love in your eyes
Like the love in your eyes.

There ain't no diamond that ever has sparkled
There ain't no stars that shine
Like the love in your eyes
Like the love in your eyes.

I've had some good friends turn out to be strangers
Funny how quickly they turned
And I've had some lovers that help me discover
How easy it is to get burned.

In this world of glitter and cosmetic people
There one thing that's real in myt life
It's the love in your eyes
It's the love in your eyes.

There ain't no diamond that ever has sparkled
There ain't no stars that shine
Like the love in your eyes
Like the love in your eyes.

Sometimes I wander and lose my direction
Sometimes I go over the line
But it's such a comfort and it's such a blessing
To know that you're there all the time.

When I feel I'm driftin' on a sea of confusion
There's a beacon that always shines
It's the love in your eyes
It's the love in your eyes.

There ain't no diamond that ever has sparkled
There ain't no stars that shine
But like the love in your eyes
Like the love in your eyes.

It's the love in your eyes
The love in your eyes...
