Ain't Had No Lovin'

Dallas Frazier

Ain't done one single thing this morning
Except for crying all alone
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till you come home

Nothin's been the same since you've left me
Everything has gone from right to wrong
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till you come home

Smiles of yesterday now find me cryin'
The red and golden rainbow turns to blue
With every breath I take I feel like dyin'
Life just ain't worth livin' when I ain't got you

Each and every day I'd spent without you
Is one more hurtin' lonely day too long
Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till you come home

Ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
And I ain't gonna get no lovin' till you come home

Cry Cry Cry

Shirley Wood

At last I found the way to free myself from you
And all the heartaches that you left to make me blue
I thought my world had ended when you said goodbye
Till I found three ways to ease the pain cry cry cry

I cry when I get lonely and sometimes when I'm blue
I cry each time I think about the times I've cried for you
I'm sure that I'll get over you as time goes by
Cause I found three ways to ease the pain cry cry cry
[ steel ]
Maybe someday all the tears will wash the hurt away
And drown all of my sorrow I pray for that day
But until the day that all my tears are dried
I'll have three ways to ease the pain cry cry cry

I cry when I get lonely...

I Don't Know Why I Keep Loving You

Fred Carter

I know the sun will rise tomorrow morning
When morning comes I know it brings the dew
I know a storm can come without a warning
But I don't know why I keep loving you

I know that you can't help these things you're doing
Though you don't mean to hurt me yet you do
I know if this keeps on you'll be my ruin
But I don't know why I keep loving you

I keep waiting for the change that never seems to come
The change that would make you love me too
But I know from your past there'll be no changing
I don't know why I keep loving you
I don't know why I keep loving you

If I Talk To Him

Paul Mitchell - Dolores Edgin

© Tree Publishing, BMI

If I talk to him I take him back again
So if he calls please tell him I'm not home

He's gone again I told him we were through
That he could live his life the way he wanted to
I said my love for him had died but I know it's not true
And if I talk to him my feelings would show through

If I talk to him I take him back again
I'm afraid to even answer the phone
Cause if I talk to him I take him back again
So if he calls please tell him I'm not home
[ steel ]
I tell my heart I'm better off without him now
But like the other times he changed my mind somehow
He'd shed some tears and talk sweet talk so sure that I believe
But this time it's the end if he'll just let me be

But if I talk to him I take him back again...

Tiny Blue Transistor Radio

Bill Anderson

He bought it for my birthday just one short year ago
This tiny blue transistor radio
We stayed up late and listened to the music soft and low
On the tiny blue transistor radio

And the man at the radio station made the special dedication
To Jimmy and the girl that he loves so
We kissed each other gently as we listened so intently
To the tiny blue transistor radio
[ steel ]
And now just one year later his love for me is gone
He's out tonight with his new love I know
And I just heard them playing the one we called our song
On the tiny blue transistor radio

And the man at the radio station made the special dedication
To Jimmy and the girl that he loves so
Her happy eyes are glistenin' while my sad heart is listenin'
To the tiny blue transistor radio
My tiny blue transistor radio

Darling Are You Ever Coming Home

Hank Cochran - Willie Nelson

© Tree Publishing, BMI

Once again it's twelve o'clock and you're still gone
Darling are you ever coming home
I don't mind this waiting for you while you're gone
But darling are you ever coming home

The wind outside is cold as my poor heart inside
Darling are you ever coming home
I love you much too much to worry about my pride
Oh darling are you ever coming home

Just before I tucked them in the children questioned me
Why did daddy leave us all alone
But I've run out of answers you've been gone so long
Oh darling are you ever coming home
[ steel ]
Just before I tucked them in...

Nobody But A Fool (Would Love You)

Bill Anderson

© Tree Publishing, BMI

Nobody but a fool would love you after the way you've done me
Broke every vow you made me broke every rule
Who'd lie awake all night cryin' till you were out of sight
Loving you with all of her might nobody but a fool

I don't know what it was that made me trust you like I did
Stars got in my eyes or either rocks got in my head
All I knew was your two lips kissed me heavenly
Till yesterday those tender lips kissed goodbye to me

Nobody but a fool would love you...
[ steel ]
Well people tried to tell me how you'd hurt me I suppose
But I was blind as any bat and deaf as any post
You clawed me like a tiger I loved you like a lamb
And knowing I still do just shows me up for what I am

Cause nobody but a fool would love...
Nobody but a fool nobody but a fool
Nobody but a fool nobody but a fool

Then And Only Then

Bill Anderson

© Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI

In your haste you left and said you'd be returning
In my sorrow I forgot to ask you when
In my lonely room I sit and count the hours
Every minute hoping I'll look up and you'll come walking in

For then and only then will I stop crying
And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend
Not until I feel your arms around me
Well I'll be happy and I live for then and only then
[ steel ]
All that's left inside my heart is just your echo
And the tiny thread of hope to which I cling
But if I keep holding on maybe some day
You'll remember where you left me and come back for me again

For then and only then...
And I'll live for then and only then

Deepening Snow

Harlan Howard

© Tree Publishing, BMI

It's snowing out there in the gloaming
I've sat here and watched it all night
The kids will be thrilled when they awaken
And look at the fields deep and white

But the snow makes me think of my darling
For he hated the snow and the cold
Now he lies in a grave back in Knoxville
With a headstone that's just one year old

Won't you please make the winter go quick Lord
So the flowers around him will grow
Cause I can't stand the thought of my darling
Lying there in the deepening snow
[ steel ]
Little Jimmy climbs up on my knee now
Saying mommie what causes the snow
And I tell of the wonderful father
Who cares for us all here below

Then I hold him so close and I kiss him
And he kissing back doesn't know
That my kiss is meant for his daddy
Lying there in the deepening snow

Won't you please make the winter go quick Lord...

Cause I can't stand the thought of my darling
Lying there in the deepening snow

I'll Come Running

Connie Smith

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

If you ever want somebody to love if you ever get to feeling blue
If you ever want a little company then I'll come running to you

It's been so long since I held you tight
But I still dream about you darling every night
I don't care who was wrong or who was right
I'll come running to you

Now all my love belongs to you that's just the way that I feel
And if you'll give me the least little chance I'd show you my love is real

Well I'm not a bit ashamed to sit here and wait if that's what I've got to do
I'll be around if your new love turns you down and I'll come running to you
[ steel ]
Now all my love belongs to you...
Well I'm not a bit ashamed to sit here and wait...

I'll Never Get Over Loving You

Connie Smith

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Ever since the day you said goodbye
And walked away with someone new
I can't be happy I just sit and cry
No I'll never get over loving you

I have always been so happy with your love
I've been true I'll swear by stars above
Now you tell me you and I are through
But I'll never get over loving you
[ steel ]
No one else could ever take your place
I've tried going out with one or two
But each time I look at them I see your face
No I'll never get over loving you

I can't figure out just what it is I've done
Did I ever make you cry or make you blue
Could it be you found someone you think that you
Could never get over loving too

I Can't Remember

Bill Anderson - Becki Anderson

© Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI

It was late and I was sleeping when he called
And I can't remember much he said at all
Just that he was leaving town and must get off the phone
I can't remember when he told me he'd be home

Did he say Sunday noon or one day soon
I think he left with Sam but what if he said Ann
Did they go to meet the train or leave to catch a plane
I can't remember but I can't forget he's gone
[ steel ]
So I telephoned his house and asked his mom
If she'd knew where her little boy had gone
I know she must have told me and I heard her loud and clear
But I can't remember anything but tears

Did she say fishing trip or he gave you the slip
Is he off to see the world or to see antoher girl
Did she say he took the car or what a fool you are
I can't remember but I can't forget he's gone
I can't remember but I can't forget he's gone

Hurtin's All Over

Harlan Howard

© Tree Publishing, BMI

A year ago today I felt like dying
As unloved and unwanted as a heart could be
But time has a way of changing yesterday
Now the hurtin's all over all over me

Well the hurtin's all over all over my body
It started in my heart and it's spread all over me
Father time did his part took the hurt out of my heart
Now the hurtin's all over all over me
[ steel ]
Now my arms ache to hold you like they used to do
And my eyes ache for the love light they no longer see
How I miss your caress how my lips ache to be kissed
Now the hurtin's all over all over me

Well the hurtin's all over all over my body...
Now the hurtin's all over all over me

Once A Day

Bill Anderson

© Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI

When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pain away
Until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day

Once a day all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day every day all day long
[ steel ]
I'm so glad that I'm not like a girl I knew one time
She lost the one she loved and slowly lost her mind
She sat around and cried her life away
Lucky me I'm only crying once a day

Once a day all day long...
Once a day every day all day long
