Why Not Tonight

© Chrysalis Music, ASCAP / Wrensong Publ, ASCAP

Well pardon me but you have my attention ever since you strolled into the room
Believe me that it's not my intention if I appear to come on too smooth
It's not like me to make such advances but this time baby I could not resist
So if you're up for taking a chance on love I can't see a better time than this

So baby why not tonight this could be the start of something right
Hey you can take it easy we can take it so slow
We can take it anywhere that you'd like to go
So baby why not tonight the stars are out and I'm sure they'll agree
Oh it's a perfect night for fallin' in love so why not fall in love with me

Oh maybe we could go out for some dinner and later on now we could do the town
You know I consider myself a winner just to have a boy like you around
Then if you're up for doing some dancing
Yeah I know a place they dance until the dawn
You know anything you'd like well it'll be alright
So why not take a chance and come along

So baby why not tonight...
Why not fall in love why not fall in love baby why not fall in love
Why not fall in love hey why not fall in love with me yeah

What Am I Gonna Do About You

Doug Gilmore - Bob Simon - Jim Allison

© Sixteen Stars Music, BMI

The kid down the street mowes the grass every week
The neighbor next door fixed the roof where it leaked
Job's going fine and the bills are all paid
And everyone thinks that I'm doing okay
There's a guy down at work he's asked me out once or twice
I haven't said yes but I'm thinking I might
And on my way home I thought I saw you walk by
If only I could get you out of my mind

What in the world am I gonna do about you
Oh your memory keeps coming back from out of the blue
Oh well I try and I try but I still can't believe that we're through
So tell me what in the world am I gonna do about you
What am I gonna do about you
[ guitar ]
I went to the store but it wasn't much fun
It doesn't take long when you're shopping for one
Standing in line I thought I saw you walk in
And that's when it started all over again

What in the world am I gonna do about you...

Lookin' For A New Love Story

Dave Loggins - Donny Lowery

© MCA Music, ASCAP / Sheddhouse Music, ASCAP

All my life I've looked at love as a fairy tale
A woman a man never never land and a storybook ending
Leading roles and my heros upon the silver screen
I played 'em all but always came up empty
But one of these days I'll be in a movie with 'em

Cause I believe that fantasy is one step from reality
For those of us who dream of love
And I believe cause I want to
There's some one man for someone who believes in love
To not give up even though you've heard
So many say that's the way the story goes
I'm looking for a new love story I'm looking for a yellow brick road
That'll carry me to his door
I'm looking for a new love story oh one that's never been told before
[ fiddle ]
And I have searched the oceans of many a man's eyes
But I have yet to feel like more than some deserted island
I know a relationship will come for me in time
And I can't wait to see his face on my horizon
Cause one of these days you'll sail into my life

Cause I believe that fantasy...
I'm just looking for a new love story

Take Me Back

Jerry Fuller - John Hobbs

© Songs Of Universal, BMI / High Top Music, BMI / Saralu Music, BMI

Now and then I open up a trunk full of old souvenirs
Thumb through a scrapbook holding back the tears
I keep wishing we could do it once more just the way we did before

Take me back to Sycamore Park put the radio dial on the golden oldies
Hey lay a blanket down and hold me
We can stay all night by the light of the moon above
So take me back back to love
[ guitar ]
Ever since you took me to the big city looking for the start
Living in the fast lane is tearing us apart
Sometimes don't you want to trade it all in for a little way back when

Take me back to Sycamore Park...
[ guitar ]
Well I remember sneaking out the back mama thought I was asleep
Watching for your headlights creeping down the street
Tryin' to steal a kiss just anyway we can back where it all began

Take me back to Sycamore Park...
Take me back to Sycamore Park...

My Mind Is On You

Don Schlitz - Dave Loggins

© Don Schlitz Music, ASCAP / MCA Music, ASCAP

We had a fight a lovers' quarrel angry words spoken in haste
Deep in the night it burned out of control and with tears streaming down my face
I slammed the door and I walked out swearing that we were through
Now I'm sittin' in a bar thinkin' I've gone too far
And wonderin' what I'm gonna do thinkin' bout calling you
To my left blue collar to my right a high dollar man
Across the bar a smooth bartender who thinks I'm in the palm of his hand
Well they buy me drinks and light my cigarette
They're all wonderin' which one I'm gonna choose
Oh my hand's on the glass that's my second margarita
And my mind is on you my mind is on you

Well I ran away in a moment of weakness I couldn't hold my own
I should've stayed cause being together mean more than who was right or wrong
And sittin' in a room full of lonely faces you're the only one I see
If you only knew I was thinking of you
Would you come and rescue me maybe I should call and see
To my left blue collar to my right a high dollar man
Across the bar a smooth bartender who thinks I'm in the palm of his hand
Well they buy me drinks and light my cigarette
They're all wonderin' which one I'm gonna choose
Oh my hand's on the glass that's my third margarita
And my mind is on you my mind is on you

I should've known I could never get along outside your love
It's last call and I'm out of cigarettes they're all wonderin' what I'm gonna do
Oh my hand's on the glass that's my last margarita and my mind is on you
My mind is on you my mind is on you

Let The Music Lift You Up

Troy Seals - Eddie Setser

© Two Sons Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP / Warner-Tamerlane Publ, BMI

Well you say you're from the city Chicago is your home
Hey I'm a country girl down Oklahoma way
There's miles and miles between us but that don't mean a thing
When those guitars start to play
Oh sweet sounds of freedom ringin' through the air sending out a message to us all
Now we don't have a curtain made of iron or stone and we are not divided by a wall

So come on tell me hey hey hey from LA to Broadway
Hey hey hey let the music lift you up
Hey hey hey well everybody's singing hey hey hey let the music lift you up
When you're feeling low hit that radio and let that music lift you
Let that music lift you up way up way up
[ guitar ]
There are books that tell us what makes this whole world turn
And how heaven holds the stars
But there's no explanation it's still a mystery how a song can touch your heart

Come on children hey hey hey...

Heard Her Cryin'

Karen Staley

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

The cold night in the kitchen saying things we'll both regret
And you scream you were leaving and you cursed the day we'd met
Then the sound goes above the slamming door
And broken dishes thrown around the floor
So loud it made us stop it was the sound of a teardrop
When I heard her crying thought she was tucked away in bed

I heard her crying wish we could take back what we said
I didn't think she was old enough to know
Oh Lord we must have hurt her so
When she begged you not to go I heard her crying
[ piano ]
Well I'd have given anything for time to erase
When I turned around and saw those little tears roll down her face
Oh my heart nearly broke in two when she said mommy what did I do
To make you and daddy mad oh I'm sorry I was bad
Well I looked at you and you looked at me and we felt each other's shame
Then kneeling down to hold our child said she was not to blame
Now sometimes when we're angry we say things that aren't true
We still love each other and baby we love you

And I heard her crying...

No Such Thing

Paul Nelson - Gene Nelson

© Warner-Tamerlane Publ, BMI

Well there's news flying round on the nosy side of town
That I have gone and found somebody new
Well there'll always be a law against the way some people talk
I guess sometimes it's all they have to do

Oh there ain't no such thing as me not loving you
Honey there ain't no such thing as me not being true
So believe your heart and not your ears but your heart knows what is true
There's no such thing as me not loving you
[ steel - fiddle - guitar ]
Well a love like yours and mine has got to deal with the jealous kind
But I don't mind there's nothing I can do
Cause their words can do no harm with you here in my arms
So they can talk until they're all turned blue

Oh there ain't no such thing...
There's no such thing as me not loving you oh no

One Promise Too Late

Don Schlitz - Dave Loggins - Lisa Silver

© Don Schlitz Music, ASCAP / MCA Music, ASCAP

I would have waited forever if I'd known that you'd be here
We could have shared our lives together
And held eachother close all through the years
But I met someone before you and my heart just wouldn't wait
So no matter how much I adore you
I've got to stand behind the promise that I made

Where were you when I could have loved you
Where were you when I gave my heart away
All my life I've been dreamin' of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late
[ fiddle - steel ]
I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you
I can't have you but I never will forget you

Where were you...
Where were you...

Till It Snows In Mexico

Gordon Payne - Roger LaVoie

© Careers Music, BMI / LaVoie Publ, BMI

Rollin' up in Oklahoma people call us blind
Cause we believe in God and love and old fashioned things
We still draw the line between wrong and right
And when a woman takes a husband it's for life

We met on a road from Tulsa travelers in the night
Well I knew we belong together it just felt so right
There's something bout this gal you ought to know
She's gonna love you till it snows in Mexico

I'm gonna love you till it snows in Mexico
Or until the Rio Grande freezes over
Cause darling when God made our love he threw away the mold
And I'm gonna love you till it snows in Mexico

If you should ever leave me heaven forbid
But you don't have to worry none about me yet
You know exactly where I'll go
I'll be waitin' for the snow in Mexico

I'm gonna love you...
Cause darling when God made our love...
