Subject: My name's not Lisa?
From: GUEST,Mike

I'm looking for the lyrics to a pretty country song I last heard in the early 70's Here's some of the words... My name's not Lisa, my name is Julie, Lisa left you, years ago. My eyes are not blue, but mine won't leave you, till the sunlight...

Thanks for any help, Mike

I'm not Lisa
My name is Julie
Lisa left you
Years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mineleave you
Til the sunlight
Shines in your face

She was your morning light
Her smile drove through your mind
Your love for her grew
With each passing day
But then one winter day
His hand led her away
She left you here
Drowning in your tears
Here's where you stayed
For all these years
Crying "Lisa, Lisa"
Well I'm not Lisa etc.
>>>I'm not Lisa.

As I remember it. Sorry I don't remember who sang it.

Jessi Colter (Ol' Waylon's l'il woman) I think she writ it too.

Lyrics for Album: An Outlaw...A Lady, The Very Best Of
By Jessi Colter/wife to Waylon Jennings
"I'M NOT LISA" Title of Song

I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won't leave you
'Til the sunlight has touched your face

She was your morning light
Her smile told of no night
Your love for her grew
With each rising sun

And then one winter day
His hand led hers away
She left you here drowning in your tears, here
Where you've stayed for years
Crying Lisa, Lisa

I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won't leave you
'Til the sunlight shines through your face

I'm not Lisa

Guest, CJ: I had a look at that http://www.homestead.com/. Some Mudcatters may want to check that out. $4.99/mo isn't too shabby.

You can buy this song on iTunes.

This was one of my mother's favorite songs when I was little. I have such a clear memory of it playing on the radio while we were driving to the home of her friend one sunday, I think in summer. She was singing along. This is what she looked like at the time:

My Pretty Mum

Jessi Colter has a new album out. I bought a few of the songs. Few people realize that she also wrote 'Out of the Rain which is usually covered by Gospel singers.
