ALWAYS ON MY MIND

(Wayne Carson Thompson - Johnny Christopher - Mark James)
« © '71 Budde Songs, BMI / Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't free you quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel the second best well I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind you were always on my mind

And maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely lonely times
And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine
Little things I should've said and done I just never took the time
You were always on my mind you were always on my mind

Tell me tell me that your sweet love hasn't die
Give me give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied
[ strings ] Little things I should've said and done I just never took the time
You were always on my mind (you were always on my mind)
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind (you were always on my mind)
But you were always on my mind

BLUE BLUE DAY

(Don Gibson)
« © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
It's been a blue blue day I feel like running away
I feel like running away from it all
My love has been untrue she's found somebody new
It's been a blue blue day for me

I feel like crying dying what can I do
I feel like praying saying I'm glad we're through
It's been a blue blue day I feel like running away
I feel like running away from the blues

How can I make believe that I don't sit and grieve
It's been a blue blue day for me
I can't pretend and say that I don't love her anyway
It's been a blue blue day for me

I feel like crying dying what can I do...
Running away from the blues

BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN

(Fred Rose)
« © '45 Milene Music, ASCAP »
In the twilight glow I see her blue eyes crying in the rain
As we kissed goodbye and parted I knew we'd never meet again
Love is like a dying ember only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember blue eyes crying in the rain

Now my hair has turned to silver all my life I've loved in vain
I can see her star in heaven blue eyes crying in the rain
Some day when we meet up yonder we'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain

CRYING TIME

(Buck Owens)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you held me darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Oh they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I live to be a hundred years old

Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me...

Oh they say that you found someone that you love better
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as sun comes up tomorrow
Crying time will start when you walk out the door

Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me...
No it won't be long before it's crying time

GOOD HEARTED WOMAN

(Waylon Jennings - Willie Nelson)
« © '71 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI / Full Nelson Music, BMI » »
A long time forgotten are dreams that just fell by the way
And the good life he promised ain't what she's living today
But she never complains of the bad times or the bad things he's done Lord
She just talks about the good times they've had and all the good times to come

She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
She loves him in spite of his ways that she don't understand
Through teardrops and laughter they'll pass through this world hand in hand
A good hearted woman lovin' her good timin' man

He likes the night life the bright lights and good timin' friends
When the party's all over she'll welcome him back home again
Lord knows she don't understand him but she does the best that she can
She's a good hearted woman she loves her good timin' man

She's a good hearted woman...
A good hearted woman lovin' her good timin' man

GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME

(Curly Putman)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to meet me arms areaching smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk and there Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Then I awake look around me at the grey walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaming
There's a guard and there's that sad old padre arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch I'll touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home

PLEASE HELP ME I'M FALLING

(Don Robertson - Hal Blair)
« © '59 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk through
Turn away from me darling I'm begging you to
Please help me I'm falling in love with you

I belong to another whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever to have and to hold
I can never be free dear but when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing the strenght to be true

Please help me I'm falling and that would be sin
Close the door to temptation and don't let me walk in
For I mustn't want you but darling I do
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
Please help me I'm falling in love with you

SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME

(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)
« © '60 Unichappell Music, BMI »
You can dance every dance with the guy who gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the guy who like to treat you right
Neath the pale moon light
But don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darling save the last dance for me

Oh I know that the music's fine like sparkling wine go and have your fun
Dance and sing but while we're apart don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darling save the last dance for me

Baby don't you know I love you so can't you feel it when we touch
I'll never never let you go I love you oh so much
And don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darling save the last dance for me

You can dance go and carry on till the night is gone until it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone can he take you home you just tell him no
And don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darling save the last dance for me
Oh darling save the last dance for me

THERE GOES MY EVERYTHING

(Dallas Frazier)
« © '65 Husky Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
There goes my only possesion there goes my everything

I hear footsteps slowly walking as they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying darling this will be goodbye forever more

There goes my reason for living there goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion there goes my everything

As my mem'ry turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
Now the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door

There goes my reason for living...
There goes my only possesion there goes my everything

YOU NEEDED ME

(Randy Goodrum)
« © '75 Chappell & Co, ASCAP »
I cried a tear you wiped it dry
I was confused you cleared my mind
I sold my soul you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strenght to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I can almost see eternity
You needed me you needed me

And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave why should I leave I'd be a fool
Cause I've finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me friend

You gave me strenght to stand alone again...
You needed me you needed me
