ATF: Amandas

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Don Williams

I've held it all inward

Lord knows I've tried

It's an awful awakening

In a country boy's life

To look in the mirror

In total surprise

At the hair on your shoulders

And the age in your eyes

Amanda

Light of my life

Fate should've made you

A gentleman's wife

Amanda

Light of my life

Fate should've made you

A gentleman's wife

There's a measure of people

Don't understand

The pleasures of life

In a hillbilly band

I got my first guitar

When I was 14

Now I'm crowding 30

And still wearing jeans

Amanda

Light of my life

Fate should've made you

A gentleman's wife

Amanda

Light of my life

Fate should've made you

A gentleman's wife

Amanda

Light of my life

Fate should've made you

A gentleman's wife

Amanda

Light of my life

Fate should've made you

A gentleman's wife

Boston

Babe

Tomorrow's so far away

There's something I just have to say

I don't think I can hide

What I'm feelin' inside

Another day

Knowin' I love you

And I

I'm getting too close again

I don't want to see it end

If I tell you tonight

Would you turn in the light

Walk away

Knowin' I love you

I'm gonna take you by surprise

And make you realize

Amanda

I'm gonna tell you right away

I can't wait another day

Amanda

I'm gonna say it like a man

And make you understand

Amanda

I love you

And

I feel like today's the day

I'm lookin' for the words to say

Do you wanna be free

Are you ready for me

To feel this way

I don't wanna lose you

So

It may be too soon I know

The feeling takes so long to grow

If I tell you today

Will you turn me away

And let me go

I don't wanna lose you

I'm gonna take you by surprise

And make you realize

Amanda

I'm gonna tell you right away

I can't wait another day

Amanda

I'm gonna say it like a man

And make you understand

Amanda

Oh girl

You and I

I know that we can't wait

And I swear

I swear it's not a lie girl

Tomorrow may be too late

You

You and I girl

We can share the life together

It's now or never

And tomorrow may be too late

And

Feelin' the way I do

I don't wanna wait my whole life through

To say

I'm in love with you

You know you are a dreamer

You're nothing but a dreamer

Well can you put your hands in your head

If I could see something

You want boy

If I could be someone

You can be anyone

Celebrate boy

Well, if I could do something

You can do something

If I could do anything

But can you do something

Out of this world

Take a dream

On a Sunday

Take a life

Take a lie

Take a dreamer

Hitch a Ride

Boston

Day is night in New York City

Smoke like water runs inside

Steel idle trees to pity

Every living thing that's died

Gonna hitch a ride

Head for the other side

Leave it all behind

Never change my mind

Gonna sail away

Sunlight's another day

Freedom on my mind

Carry me away for the last time

Ooooh

Yeah

Life is like the coldest winter

People freeze the tears I cry

Words of hail their minds are into

I've got to crack this ice and fly

Gonna hitch a ride

Head for the other side

Leave it all behind

Never change my mind

Gonna sail away

Sunlight's another day

Freedom on my mind

Carry me away for the last time

Gonna hitch a ride

Head for the other side

Leave it all behind

Never change my mind

Gonna sail away

Sunlight's another day

Freedom on my mind

Carry me away for the last time

Don’t Look Back

Boston

Don't look back

A new day is breakin’

It's been too long

Since I felt this way

I don't mind

Where I get taken

The road is callin’

Today is the day

I can see

It took so long

Just to realize

I'm much too strong

Not to compromise

Now I see what I am

Is holdin’ me down

I'll turn it around

Oh oh

Yes I will

I

Finally see the dawn arrivin’

I

See beyond the road I'm drivin’

It's a bright horizon

And I'm awakened

I see myself

In a brand new way

The sun is shinin’

The clouds are breakin’

‘Cause I can't lose now

There's no game to play

I can tell

There's no more time left

To criticize

I've seen what

I could not recognize

Everything in my life

Was leading me on

But I can be strong

Oh oh

Yes I can

I

Finally see the dawn arrivin’

I

See beyond the road I'm drivin’

Oh oh

Far away

And left behind

Left behind

Oh the sun is shinin’ in

And I won’t let go

Don't look back

A new day is breakin’

Oh oh

It's been so long

Since I felt this way

I don't mind

Where I get taken

The road is callin’

Today is the day

I can see

It took so long

Just to realize

I'm much too strong

Not to compromise

Now I see what I am

Is holding me down

I'll turn it around

Oh oh

Yes I will

I

Finally see the dawn arrivin’

I

See beyond the road I'm drivin’

Oh oh

Far away

And left behind

Don’t look back

Don’t look back

Don’t look back

Don’t look back

Don’t Stop

Fleetwood Mac

If you wake up

And don't want to smile

If it takes

Just a little while

Open your eyes

And look at the day

You'll see things

In a different way

Don't

Stop

Thinkin’ about tomorrow

Don't

Stop

It'll soon be here

It'll be

Better than before

Yesterday's gone

Yesterday's gone

Why not think about

Times to come

And not about

The things that you've done

If your life was

Bad to you

Just think

What tomorrow will do

Don't

Stop

Thinkin’ about tomorrow

Don't

Stop

It'll soon be here

It'll be

Better than before

Yesterday's gone

Yesterday's gone

All I want is

To see you smile

If it takes

Just a little while

I know you don't

Believe that it's true

I never meant

Any harm to you

Don't

Stop

Thinkin’ about tomorrow

Don't

Stop

It'll soon be here

It'll be

Better than before

Yesterday's gone

Yesterday's gone

Don't

Stop

Thinkin’ about tomorrow

Don't

Stop

It'll soon be here

It'll be

Better than before

Yesterday's gone

Yesterday's gone

Oooh

Don't you look back

Oooh

Don't you look back

Oooh

Don't you look back

Oooh

Don't you look back
