HOW'S THE WORLD TREATING YOU

(Boudleaux Bryant - Chet Atkins)
« © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(How's the world treating you)

I have nothing but sorrow since you said we were through
There's no hope for tomorrow how's the world treating you
Every sweet thing that mattered has been broken in two
All my dreams have been shattered how's the world treating you

Got no plans for next Sunday but got no plans for today
Everyday is blue Monday every day you're away
Though our pathways have parted to your mem'ry I'm true
Guess I'll stay broken hearted how's the world treating you

(Do you wonder about me like I'm hoping you do
Are you lonesome without me have you found someone new)
Are you burning and yearning do you ever get blue
Do you think of reurning how's the world treating you

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER

(Henry Tobias - Larry Vincent - Moe Jaffe)
« © '60 Colgems Music, ASCAP »
If I had my life to live over I'd do the same things again
I'd still want to roam to the place we call home
Where my happiness never would end

I'd meet you when school days were onward
And walk through the lanes that we'd knew
If I had my life to live over I'd still fall in love with you

I'd meet you when school days...

YOU'RE NOBODY TILL SOMEBODY LOVES YOU

(Russ Morgan - Larry Stock - James Cavanaugh)
« © '44 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP / Southern Music, ASCAP / Larry Stock Music, ASCAP »
You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may be king you may posses the world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growing old

The world's still the same you'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
[ guitar ] You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love to love

ANSWER ME MY LOVE

(Carl Sigman - Gerhard Winkler - Fred Rauch)
« © '54 Bourne Co, ASCAP »
Answer me oh my love just what sin have I been guilty of
Tell me how I came to lose your love please answer me my love

You were mine yesterday I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray please answer me my love

If you're happier without me I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me please listen to my prayer

You must know I've been true won't you say that we can start anew
In my sorrow now I turn to you please answer me my love
[ guitar ] You must know I've been true...

I'M ALONE BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

(Ira Schuster - Joe Young)
« © '60 ATV Tunes, ASCAP »
I'm alone because I love you love you with all my heart
I'm alone because I had to be true
Sorry I can't say the same about you

Yesterday's kisses are bringing me pain
Yesterday's sunshine has turned into rain
I'm alone because I love you love you with all my heart
[ guitar ] Yesterday's kisses are bringing me pain...

LOVE AND MARRIAGE

(Sammy Cahn - James VanHeusen)
« © '60 Barton Music, ASCAP »
Love and marriage love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage
This I'll tell you brother you can't have one without the other
Love and marriage love and marriage it's an institution you can't discourage
As the local gentry and they will say it's alimentary

Try try try to seperate them as an illusion
Try try try and you will only come to this conclusion
Love and marriage love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage
That was told my mother
You can't have one you can't have none you can't have one without the other
[ guitar ] Try try try to seperate them as an illusion...

YOU GOTTA HAVE LOVE

(Gene Nash - Chet Atkins)
« © '60 Davidson County Music, BMI »
Buy yourself a cottage with a picket fence around
High upon the hilltop a few miles out from town
Wrap yourself in loneliness and try to have a ball
You'll find you gotta have love you gotta have love or you've got nothing at all

Buy yourself a new car and go out for a ride
Drive along a lover's lane with no one by your side
Keep on saying to your heart I've ever gonna fall
You'll find you gotta have love you gotta have love or you've got nothing at all

Go asleep and dream about the plans you'd like to make
But there's no fun if there's no one to share them when you awake

Buy yourself a ticket to London or to Rome
You'll find there's no difference that if you'd stay at home
Every town is just the same when you've no one to call
You'll find you gotta have love you gotta have love or you've got nothing at all
(You'll find you gotta have love) you gotta have love or you've got nothing at all

NOW I THINK AS A MAN

(Ruth Roberts - William Katz)
« © '60 Goldenford Music, ASCAP »
When I was a child I thought as a child I thought of toys on Christmas morn
Of puppy dog tails and chicken corn but now I think as a man
Oh now I think as a man

And as a man I think of you and all the things I'd like to do
As a man with a woman who's love is untrue

When I was a boy of six or so I thought of bein' Buffalo Bill
And ridin' the ponny cross the hill but now I think as a man
Oh now I think as a man

And as a man I think of you...

When I was a freckled face nine or ten I thought of play in trees all day
And chasing all the girls away but now I think as a man
Oh now I think as a man

And as a man I think of you...

Has many a year went flying by too many a broken heart I smile
At the carefree thoughts when I was a child before I thought as a man
Oh now I think as a man

LOVE ME

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
« © '54 Jerry Leiber Music, ASCAP »
Treat me like a fool treat me mean and cruel but love me
Bring my faithful heart tear it all apart but love me

If you'll ever go darling I'll be oh so lonely
I'll be sad and blue crying over you dear only

I would beg and steal just to feel
Your heart beating close to mine

Every night I pray to the stars that shine above me
Beggin' on my knees all I ask is polease please love me

I WISH I DIDN'T LOVE YOU SO

(Frank Loesser)
« © '60 Famous Music, ASCAP »
I wish I didn't love you so
My love for you should have faded long ago
I wish I didn't need your kiss
Why'd must your kiss torture me as long as this

I might be smiling I know with some new tender friend
Smiling I know with my heart on the mend
But when I try something in that heart says no
You're still there I wish I didn't love you so
[ guitar ] But when I try something...

HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY THAT I LOVE YOU

(Scott Wiseman)
« © '45 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Have I told you lately that I love you
Could I tell you once again somehow
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you
Well darling I'm telling you now

Have I told you lately when I'm sleeping
Every dream I dream is you somehow
Have I told you who I'd like to share my love forever
Well darling I'm telling you now

My heart would break in two if you refuse me
I'm no good without you anyhow
Dear have I told you lately that I love you
Well darling I'm telling you now
Well darling I'm telling you now

I DON'T WANT TO WALK WITHOUT YOU

(Frank Loesser - Jule Styne)
« © '63 Paramount Music, ASCAP »
I don't want to walk without you baby
Walk without my arm about you baby
I thought the day you left me behind
I'd take a stroll and get you right off my mind
But now I find that I don't want to walk without the sunshine
Why'd you have to turn off all that sunshine
Oh baby please come back or you'll make my heart for me
Cause I don't want to walk without you no siree
[ guitar ] Oh baby please come back or you'll make my heart for me
Cause I don't want to walk without you no siree
