No One Ever Tells You

by H. Atwood / C. Coates recording of 1994 from Heart to Heart (GRP 9767) No one ever tells you What it's like to love and lose How it feels to waken And have breakfast with the blues How to go on living How to face another day No, no one ever tells you the way No one ever tells you How it feels to walk alone Listening for those footsteps Through the echo of your own Suddenly it hits you All those dreams weren't worth a dime 'Cause no one ever tells you in time Long before The icy winds of winter Autumn tells the swallows Time to fly So why do we pretend Till the bitter end Till it breaks our hearts To say good-bye Well No one ever tells you That it's just another fling No one ever warns you When your heart begins to sing Someone tells you later All is fair in love and war But no one ever tells you before Long before Our love boat's torn asunder We can hear the thunder Of the falls So why do we go on Sailing madly on Till all we had is gone Beyond recall Beyond recall No one ever tells you That it's just another fling No one ever warns you When your heart begins to sing Someone tells you later All is fair in love and war But no one ever tells you before It never comes easy 'Cause no one No one, no one Ever tells you Tells you No one ever tells you before No one ever tells you before Page 1: A-B Page 2: C-E Page 3: F-H Page 4: I Page 5: J-N Page 6: O-So Page 7: Sp-The Page 8: The-W Page 9: Who-Z Created by: Bluesman Harry Page last updated on: July 16 2000

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
