Take Me In Your Arms And Hold Me

Cindy Walker

© Unichappell Music, BMI

Take me in your arms and hold me
Like I've been holding you in my heart
Take me in your arms and tell me
That you've missed me since we've been apart

You just don't know how heartsick and lonesome I've been
Or how much I've prayed that you'll come back again
And take me in your arms and hold me
Like I've been holding you in my heart

(You just don't know how heartsick and lonesome I've been)
Or how much I've prayed...

It's Been So Long Darling

Ernest Tubb

© Unichappell Music, BMI

It's been so long darling since I gazed into your eyes
It's been so long darling do you really realize
That just the thought of seeing you it scares me through and through
It's been so long darling since I had a kiss from you

It's been so long darling since I had to go away
It's been so long darling and I can't forget that day
Although you never mentioned it you cried the whole day long
It's been so long darling but now I'm coming home
[ strings ]
It's been so long darling since I gazed into your eyes...

If I Never Get To Heaven

Jenny Lou Carson - Roy Botkin

© Unichappell Music, BMI

If I never get to heaven it will be for loving you
It's so easy for a heart in love to sin
Oh I want to go to heaven please believe me dear it's true
But I'm afraid the angels might let me in

Cause I'd steal and I'd lied to keep you by my side
And I even beg or steal if you wanted me to
Right or wrong I'll always love you till the world comes to an end
So if I never get to heaven I'll blame you

(Cause I'd steal and I'd lied to keep you by my side)
And I even beg or steal if you wanted me to...
So if I never get to heaven I'll blame you

Will You Always

Don Robertson - Hal Blair

© Don Robertson Music, ASCAP

Will you always always love me like you're loving me tonight
Will you always walk beside me wrong or right
Is it springtime or the moonlight that makes this moment seem so right
Do you always want my kisses for tonight

How my heart beats in mad confusion at the things I'm dreaming of
Is this just one more illusion all in the name of love
When the shadows gather round me will you still be my guiding light
Will you always always love me like tonight

Hank Williams

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

(Hey good lookin' hey good lookin')

Hey hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me
Hey hey sweet baby don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recepie

I got a hot rod Ford and a two dollar bill
And I know a spot right over young hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me

So hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me
I'm free and ready so we can go steady
How's about savin' all your time for me

I'm gonna throw my datebook over the fence
And find me one for five or ten cents
I'll keep it till it's covered with age
Cause I'm writin' your name down on every page

So hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me

Let's Make Memories Tonight

Gene Nash

© Davidson County Music, BMI

Let's make memories tonight for this is the night to remember
Let's make moments to remember forever and the day
Let's don't play around tonight it's time now to stop for your teasing
I must admit it was pleasing and make me want to stay

A thousand roman candles they explode each time we touch
Don't think you know my darling why you mean so much to me
Let's make memories tonight and no day will last for the lifetime
Holding you tight for the lifetime makes everything's so right

Let's make memories let's make 'em tonight
Let's make memories let's make 'em tonight
(Let's make memories tender memories tonight)

I love you because you understand dear
Every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand dear
I love you most because you're you

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you cause you're you

No matter what may be the style nor seasons
I know your heart will always be true
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you because you're you

You're The Only Star In My Blue Heaven

Gene Autry

© Western Music, ASCAP

You're the only star in my blue heaven
And you're shining just for me
You're the only star in my blue heaven
And in dreams your face I see

You're the guiding light that brightens up the night
Till you come in sight my heart is lonely
You're the only star in my blue heaven
And you're shining just for me

(You're the only star in my blue heaven
And you're shining just for me)

You're the guiding light...
