Tears roll down my face

Smiles can’t take their place
Living down hanging around try to understand
All you gotta do us hold my hand
You don’t understand

Try to see the plan
Cause if you start to falling
To the things you did before
You ain’t gonna see me anymore
And it’s high time
You got something going
Everything you did till now is wrong
Look like my time
I’d should be a knowing
I should find out before too long

SOLO

And it’s high time
You got something going
Everything you did till now was wrong
Look like my time
I’d should be a knowing
I should find out before too long

Verse 1
Early morning riser.
C G D C C – G
I can still feel all your sunlight shine before the dawn.
First light morning feelings got me losing so much sleep.
I just can’t say how much I miss you when you’re gone.
Chorus 1 (s)single strum
Cause I [C(s)]get a feeling something like a summer wind.
[G/F#]When you[Em(s)] love me like a sister, then you’r[C(s)]e gone again.
But there’s so much light shining in your eyes,
that you [Cadd9(s)]just can’t help but keep a love alive.

Verse 2
Now I hear some other loving sunshine brothers’
left you crying and you’re all alone.
So dry your eyes and try and say your goodbyes.
Cause you’re old enough to get back on your feet all on your own.

Chorus 2
Don’t you kind of get a feeling like a summer wind.
Cause he loved you like a brother, now he’s gone again.
But there’s still a lot of love light in your eyes,
and you sure know how to keep a man alive.

Bridge (s)single strum
Well you can [C(s)]stand right there and [G(s)]tell me [D(s)]somethings wrong.
It’s so [C(s)]hard to know your [G(s)]problems [D(s)]when you’re gone.
Verse 3
So early morning riser.
There’s not much more I can do to try and make things right.
If you need another sunshine brother,
I can be right there beside you by the early morning light.
Chorus 3
And I’ll forget that feeling like a summer wind.
And I’ll probably start to think about you now and then.
But there’s still a lot of light shining in your eyes,
and you still know how to keep a love alive.

Pure Prairie League You’re Mine Tonight written by Rafe Van Hoy

Vince Gill vocals/guitar
Billy Hinds drums
Michael Connor keyboards
Michael Reilly bass/background vocals
Jeff Wilson guitar/background vocals
David Sanborn sax

There is no need for explanation
Both of us know what’s going on
An unspoken late night invitation
To keep till tomorrow
When you’re back where you belong
But you’re mine tonight
Your somebody’s else’s in the morning light
But you’re mine tonight and that’s all right
I feel emotion in the making
Kissing the lips that never lie
But I can tell someone else is waiting
To play in the fire I see burning in your eyes
But you’re mine tonight
Your somebody’s else’s in the morning light
But you’re mine tonight and that’s all right
Don’t know how often I have held you
Don’t really know what this means
It’s so hard for me not to tell you
You’ve been the star of my dreams

SOLO

It’s foolish to think of revealing
How I’ve been yours for so long
There’s just no future in the feeling
A taste of your love then tomorrow you’ll be gone
But you’re mine tonight
Your somebody’s else’s in the morning light
But you’re mine tonight and that’s all right

Spending all my money on the telephone
It seems like forever since I heard from you back home
You know it hurts to be alone
Nothing else to do cause I can only think of you
Sleeping with the memory in my motel room
Shut out all the day light
Even though it’s afternoon
I guess I still woke up too soon
And you know it’s true I can only think of you
Being at home ain’t so bad
When you have someone who will love you like I do
And yes I love you you know I do
I love you even though I can’t be true
I’m too far away from you
Still you know it’s true I can only think of you
