Lyrics Jimmie Dale Gilmore

Jimmie Dale Gilmore

Sally

Sally, what can I say about you?

That would be true without you

With your ribbons hanging rainbows in your hand?

You know, he's young and still unproven

And to himself unspoken

And though his roads like thieves appear

Lead him to think he's left what's near

He's gonna look for you to be who you are

Your friends are telling you to leave him

As though they really knew him

While they rob you with their honor and your name

But you won't give up now with all your pure love

Give up with all your strong love

He's gonna know when he's just as far as any body goes

And he'll look for you to be who you are

Sometimes my thinking gets so heavy

I feel, I stand too closely

And it's so useless, somehow, I should run away

But that's not the truth no matter what is

No matter who they say is

It's you and you alone can be sure that you're not wrong

You've got all you need to be who you are

Sally, What can I say about you?

That would be true without you

With your ribbons hanging rainbows in your hand

You know, he's young and still unproven

And to himself unspoken

And though his roads like thieves appear

Lead him to think he's left what's near

He's gonna look for you to be who you are
