Jody And The Kid

Kris Kristofferson

© Careers Music, BMI

She would meet me in the mornin' on my way down to the river
Waitin' patient by the chinaberry tree
With her feet already dusty from the pathway to the levee
And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees

And I'd paid her no attention as she tagged along beside me
Tryin' hard to copy ev'rything I did
But I couldn't keep from smilin' when I'd hear somebody sayin'
Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid

Even after we grew older we could still be seen together
As we walked along the levee holdin' hands
For as surely as the seasons she was changin' to a woman
And I'd lived enough to call myself a man

As she of'en lay beside me in the coolness of the evenin'
Till the mornin' sun was shining on my bed
And at times when she was sleepin' I would smile when I'd remember
How they used to call us Jody and the kid
[ piano ]
Now the world's a little older and the years have changed the river
Cause there's houses where they didn't used to be
And on Sundays I go walkin' down the pathway to the levee
With another little girl who follows me

And it makes the ol' folks smile to see her tag along beside me
Doin' little things the way her mama did
But it gets a little lonesome when I hear somebody sayin'
Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid

Let's Put Our World Back Together

Jimmy Peppers

© Husky Music, BMI

Let's put our world back together
Let's try our love just one more time
Let's put our world back together
Without you in my world the sun don't shine

I've tried but I can't live my life without you
There's darkness in my world all the time
We had ev'rything together then it just fell apart
I've lost my heart so please don't take my mind

Let's put our world back together...
Without you in my world the sun don't shine

By The Time I Get To Phoenix

Jim Webb

© Sosaha Music, BMI / Jonathan Three Music, BMI

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be risin'
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be workin'
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll softly turn and call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go

When The Snow Is On The Roses

Curry Kusic - Eddie Snyder - James Last

© Miller Catalog, ASCAP

Now the golden sun can see us kiss
Ev'ry summer day we'll love like this

When the snow is on the roses
When the bluebird's flown away
In my arms we'll both remember
All the love we share today

As we walk along the silvery shore
Vows we make will last forever more

When the snow is on the roses
When the summer stars are gone
One more summer will be over
But our love will still go on

When the snow is on the roses...
All the love we share today

Your Little Deeds

Vance Bulla

© Plainspoken Music, ASCAP

It's your little deeds of kindness and your little words of love
It's all the many little things you do
It's your little deeds of kindness and your little words of love
That make me wanna keep on lovin' you

Happiness I found is just a thing called love
And the love I found is just a thing called you
Cause loving is a thing that I see plenty of
In the little deeds of kindness that you do

It's your little deeds of kindness and your little words of love...

The only thing that's brighter than my mornin' sun
Is ev'ry mornin's early thought of you
And as I count my blessings over one by one
I count the deeds of kindness that you do

It's your little deeds of kindness and your little words of love...
It's your little deeds of kindness and your little words of love...

You'd Better Sit Down Kids

Sonny Bono

© Cotillion Music, BMI

You better sit down kids I'll tell you why
You might not understand kids just give it a try
Now how should I put this I've got somethin' to say
Your mother is staying but I'm goin' away
No we're not mad kids it's hard to say why
Your mother and I kids don't see eye to eye

Be sure you say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother ask
She's gonna need you boys to stay in line
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need your help
A whole lot more than she ever did before
No more fights over little things
Cause I won't be there to stop them anymore
[ guitar ]
I know you don't want this well neither do we
But sometimes things happen that we can't forsee
So try to be calm kids and don't look so sad
Just cause I'm leavin' I'll still be your dad
Just remember I love you and though I'm not here
Just call if you need me and I'll always be near
Well I have to go now so kiss me goodbye
My eyes are just red kids I'm too big to cry

You've Still Got A Place In My Heart

Leon Payne

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

If the one you think is true ever turns his back on you
You've still got a place in my heart
If ev'ry road you take proves to be a big mistake
Baby you've still got a place in my heart

If I'm a fool to pray that you'll return some day
Well then I know a million fools that love has made that way
If the years should make you cry don't go on and live a lie
Baby you've still got a place in my heart
[ guitar ]
If the years should make you cry don't go on and live a lie
Baby you've still got a place in my heart

When I Loved Her

Kris Kristofferson

© Careers Music, BMI

Well she didn't look as pretty as some others I have known
And she wasn't good at conversation when we were alone
But she had a way of makin' me believe that I belonged
And it felt like comin' home when I found her

Cause she seemed to be so proud of me just walkin' holdin' hands
And she didn't think that money was the measure of a man
And we seemed to fit together when I held her in my arms
And it left me feelin' warm when I loved her

Cause she brightened up the day like the early mornin' sun
And she made what I was doin' seem worthwhile
It's the closest thing to livin' that I guess I've ever known
And it made me want to smile when I loved her

I know some of us were born to cast our fortunes to the winds
And I guess I'm bound to travel down the road that never ends
But I know I'll never look upon the likes of her again
And I'll never understand why I lost her

Shadows Of Her Mind

Kris Kristofferson

© Careers Music, BMI

I met her sadly in the slowly fallin' rain
Cryin' softly in her loneliness and pain
Knowing no one needin' someone as bad as me
And she told me as I held her tremblin' hand
Walkin' slowly how she'd never known a man
Livin' lonely in her cottage by the sea

When the mornin' came her tears had changed to laughter
And before the night her heart beat close to mine
And I thought as she lay sleepin' of the secret she was keepin'
Hidden somewhere in the shadows of her mind

In the mornin' as I wakened with the dawn
Without warnin' I could feel that she was gone
Leavin' nothin' but her silence next to me
And lonely footprints that I followed in the sand
Walkin' slowly for I knew where they would end
Disappearing in the silence of the sea

And I sometimes hear the echoes of her laughter
As I search for what I know I'll never find
For the answer I was seeking was a secret she's still keeping
Hidden somewhere in the shadows of her mind

Through The Eyes Of Love

Jack Clement - Mitt Addington

© Songs Of PolyGram, BMI

This heart of mine belongs to you
Take care of it be kind
For I must go where you may lead
The eyes of love are blind

I may not see the things that I should see
The danger there might be in store
And I may do just what I shouldn't do
Because I'm lookin' through the eyes of love

It is true I know that eyes of love
Might dim the view for me
But eyes of love can see so much
That other eyes don't see

A bluer sky the sparkle in your eyes
All make me realize I'm yours
I see with you a world of dreams come true
Because I'm lookin' through the eyes of love
Because I'm lookin' through the eyes of love

Yesterday

John Lennon - Paul McCartney

© ATV Tunes, ASCAP

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said somethin' wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away oh I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say...
