SECRET LOVE

(Paul F. Webster - Sammy Fain)
« © '53 WB Music, ASCAP »
Once I had a secret love that lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love became impatient to be free

So I told a friendly star the way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are and why I'm so in love with you

Now I shout it from the highest hills even told the golden deffodils
At last my heart's an open door my secret love's no secret anymore

Now I shout it from the highest hills...

BUT FOR LOVE

(Terry Cashman - Gene Pistilli - T.P. West)
« © '69 MCA Music, ASCAP »
So it's rainin' again and the wind's up in a roar
I've been swept through the streets to be washed up at your door
But you're with him I know so I'll crawl back later on
Why do I need you so but for love I'd be gone

With my back to the wind I'm wondering what it is about you
That makes it so hard to stay and harder yet to live without you
So I'll look all around but there's nothing here for me
Like a prisoner I'm bound but for you I'd be free

But for you I'd be on a jet leavin' today
For a place in the sun far away

But the rain still comes down and the chilly winds keep blowing
Down these cold empty streets I'm wondering what keeps me going
So I say to myself why do you linger on
And my heart cries to me but for love I'd be gone
But for love I'd be gone

THEN SHE'S A LOVER

(Bobby Russell)
« © '69 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
She comes in about six o'clock trippin' over toys and pickin' up socks
And you think her day had been a ton of trouble
She's been doing important things with tradin' stamps and turnip greens
And have I noticed how the price of soap has doubled

She's as normal as she can be and she never misses Jeapardy
And I think that she'd elope with Dick VanDyke
And when the kids have all been fed and when I lay me down to bed
She gives me my time of the night

Then she's a lover she comes to my side
Right around midnight after her day's been so confused
That's why I love her and that's why I do right
And if there's a reason God gave me a feeling baby it's you

She hates tangerines she loves the rain volunteers me for everything
And the bank has never been right in her life
She thinks my Uncle Bill's a sap and she's taught me words like over draft
And the only number she remembers is her shoe size

She had words with a guy next door and almost started a neighborhood war
Cause he said something smart to our son Bob
And therefore I had to invite him in and apologize and convince him
That she really didn't mean he was a big fat slob

She's as normal as she can be...

FOR MY WOMAN'S LOVE

(Ben Peters)
« © '69 Glen Campbell Music, BMI »
Like the first apartment that we had
That bompy little couch that made into a bed
Shower down the hall and footsteps through the wood she said it's just fine
Times were hard for us for quite a while
But through those hungry days she faced it with a smile
Not wantin' me to knpow she's carrying my child she tried to ease my mind

And for my woman's love for my woman's love
Each day I thank the Lord above for my sweet woman's love

Through the years of moving town to town
Still searchin' for a dream somehow we never found
And wondering if we would ever settle down her love never died
And if I have many things today I owe it to the love I had along the way
No matter what went wrong no matter come what may she stood by my side

GLORY OF LOVE

(Billy Hill)
« © '57 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
You've got to give a little take a little and let your poor heart break a little
That's the story of that's the glory of love
You've got to laugh a little cry a little before the clouds roll by a little
That's the story of that's the glory of love

As long as there's the two of us we've got the world and all its charms
And when the world is through with us we've got each other's arms
You've got to win a little lose a little and always have the blues a little
That's the story of that's the glory of love

(As long as there's the two of us we've got the world and all its charms)
And when the world is through with us we've got each other's arms
You've got to win a little lose a little and always have the blues a little
That's the story of that's the glory of love
That's the story of that's the glory of love

TODAY I STARTED LOVING YOU AGAIN

(Merle Haggard - Bonnie Owens)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well today I started loving you again
And I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
Well I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun

Cause today I started loving you again...

EASY LOVIN'

(Freddie Hart)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Easy lovin' so sexy lookin'
I know from the feelin' that it comes from the heart
Easy lovin' everyday's things givin'
To count all my blessin's I wouldn't know where to start

Everytime I look you over so real to life it seems
Upon your pretty shoulders there's a pair of angel wings
Easy lovin' seein's believin'
Life with you's like livin' in a beautiful dream

Everytime I look you over...
In a beautiful dream

I LOVE HOW YOU LOVE ME

(Barry Mann - Larry Kolber)
« © '61 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
(I love how you love me)

I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you I love how you miss me
I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But darling most of all I love how you love me

I love how your heart beats whenever I hold you
I love how you think of me without being told to
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But darling most of all I love how you love me

(I love how your heart beats) whenever I hold you
(I love how you think of me) without being told to
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But darling most of all I love how you love me

I love how you hug me I love how you squeeze me tease me please me
Love how you love me I love how you love me
I love how you love me I love how you love me I love how you love me

I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU

(Don Robertson - Hal Blair)
« © '71 Don Robertson Music, ASCAP »
I was born to love you so what can I do

Sometimes you've hurt me deep inside
And you're so careless with my pride
But when you touch me the world is new
I was born to love you so what can I do

Sometimes you're distant and you're cold
And it's a stranger that I hold
But when you want me my dreams come true
I was born to love you so what can I do

No matter what I do I think about you
Those lonely hours when you're away
If I try to live my life without you
I couldn't make it for a day

Right or wrong my destiny is you dear my whole life through
I was born to love you and though how I do

IT'S ONLY LOVE

(Hank Cochran)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
(It's only love it'll go away)

If I don't act myself when I'm around you
And I recall the things you used to say
Well I just haven't learned to forget like you do
But it's only love it'll go away

It's only love it'll go away
At least that's what you say
And if I call at night when you're sleeping
Just to talk about yesterday
Then before I hang up these mem'ries start creeping
Well it's only love it'll go away
But it's only love it'll go away
