Haggard, Merle - Wake Up Lyrics






Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone
Wake up, we're too close to be alone
Wake up and please darling, hold me if you would
Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good

There's too many empty pages with so many things in store
I can't believe it's over and you've closed the final door
And I'm not prepared to handle these things we're going through
I wish God would grant me just one more night with you

Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone
Wake up, we're too close to be alone
Wake up and please darling, hold me if you would
Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good

Without you I'll feel worthless, like a bell that doesn't ring
And I know you hear me talkin' yet you haven't heard a thing
And I can't stand it all much longer, I'll go crazy without you
I wish God would grant me just one more night with you

Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone
Wake up, we're too close to be alone
Wake up and please darling, hold me if you would
Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good
Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good

  25. A.... E....

    Long ago and far away. What little I HAVE HAD in life was only something to lose. Now everything is only a memory of something long ago and far away.

  26. A.... E....

    Wake Up, also, melody wise, has the flavor of, A Girl like You, by Tompall & the Glaser Brothers.

  27. A.... E....

    To me, This song has a touch of the melody of, Once a Day, written by Bill Anderson and recorded by Connie Smith AND in my opinion BOTH Merle & Connie ARE the BEST OF THE BEST!!!

  28. S.... F....

    Sure is the best f.rom Aussie tom

    Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone
    Wake up, we're too close to be alone
    Wake up and please darling, hold me if you would
    Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good

    There's too many empty pages
    With so many things in store
    I can't believe it's over
    And you've closed the final door

    And I'm not prepared to handle
    These things we're going through
    I wish God would grant me
    Just one more night with you
    ----------------------
    Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone
    Wake up, we're just too close to be alone
    Wake up and please darling, hold me if you would
    Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good

    Without you I'll feel worthless,
    Like a bell that doesn't ring
    And I know you hear me talkin'
    Yet you haven't heard a thing

    And I can't stand it all much longer,
    I'll go crazy without you
    I wish God would grant me
    Just one more night with you

    Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone
    Wake up, we're just too close to be alone
    Wake up and please darling, hold me if you would
    Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good
    Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good.....

  39. Z.... 5....

    The words on the first screen said it all.
    " This song doesn't require any video".
    That's a true Merle Haggard.
    Just look at that face and each wrinkle and see his wisdom and talent in each of his "earned" wrinkles.
    They just don't make 'em anymore like Merle.
    RIP OUR BELOVED FRIEND AND SINGER.

  40. M.... J....

    Yesterday I thought it was about a broken relationship. Was in my head all night and this morning, while thinking about my wife, I had the idea she passed. Listened again and that's what I'm getting.

    My beige Stetson hat off to those YOUTUBE personal for the exceptional County Music selections made available for all of us to enjoy.
    I am a 73 year Tejano, who has been enjoying the sounds of country music since I was in Lamar Junior High School in Laredo Tejas. Some of my favorite artists from the late 70’s were the out laws W. Nelson, Waylon, J. Cash, C.Christopherson. (Sp)., but today, I realized Merle Haggard should have been included in my list of favorites, because his music and songs are just as great as the others I mention. Truly a great music artists in my humble Tejano opinion. Today Meryl and Willis sons are carrying on the country music songs tradition and i’m very great full and love it..
    God Bless Tejas & Mighty United States.
