1.
TO LIFE
(Dan Tyler - Ken Leray Badger)
« © '00 Crossunder Music, ASCAP »
Life you have been good to me
Life have you chosen me to give your blessings to
Life you served your finest wine
I drank it down to find my glass was always full
Life sometimes you made me sad
Although I always had the very best
A friendship love and happiness
Tonight I raise my glass to you
I hope that I been through to life
[ ac.guitar ] And yes you you served your finest wine
I drank it down to find my glass was always full
Life sometimes you made me sad
Although I always had the very best
A friendship love and happiness
And now when it's all been said and done
I dedicate this song to life

ANYTIME
(Herbert Lawson)
« © '21 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Anytime you're feeling lonely
Anytime you're feeling blue
Anytime you feel down hearted
That will prove your love for me is true

Anytime you're thinking bout me
That's the time I'll think of you
So anytime you're sure you want me back again
That's the time I'll come back home to you
[ guitar ] Anytime will be the right time anytime at all will do
So anytime you're sure you want me back again
That's the time I'll come back home to you
********** 3.
I WALK ALONE
(Herbert W. Wilson)
« © '43 Adams Vee & Abbott Music, BMI »
I walk alone where once we wandered
It seems so strange since you are gone
Till you return I'll stay the same dear
I'll still be true and walk alone

The stars above I swear to love you
With all the love I've ever known
Though we're apart you'll always own me
When teardrops start I walk alone

The flame of love is brightly burning
You know that I'm your very own
Each night I'll pray for your returning
But while you're gone I walk alone
********** 4.
I'LL HOLD YOU IN MY HEART
(Vic McAlpin - Eddy Arnold - Howard Horton)
« © '47 Adams Vee & Abbott Music, BMI »
I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
Like you'd never been held before
I'll think of you each day and then I'll dream the night away
Till you are in my arms once more

The stars up in the sky know the reason why
I feel so blue when I'm away from you
I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
So darling please wait for me

The stars up in the sky know the reason why...
********** 5.
IN THE MISTY MOONLIGHT
(Cindy Walker)
« © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
In the misty moonlight by the flickering firelight
Any place is all right long as I'm with you
In a faraway land on the trophic sea sand
If your hand's in my hand I won't be blue

Way up on the mountain a way down in the valley
I know I'll be happy anyplace anywhere I don't care
In the misty moonlight by the flickering firelight
Any place is all right long as you are there

Way up on the mountain...
********** 6.
THEN YOU CAN TELL ME GOODBYE
(John D. Loudermilk)
« © '62 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you love me for a million years
If it don't work out if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sigh
After you've loved me for a million years
If it don't work out if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

If you must go I won't grieve
If you just wait a lifetime before you leave
But if you must go I won't say no so we can say that we try
Tell me you love me for a million years
If it don't work out if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
Then you can tell me goodbye
********** 7.
LONELY AGAIN
(Jean Chapel)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(Lonely again no arms around me)

You told me that others before you
Were foolish to cause me to cry
And just when I learned to adore you
You kissed one more dream goodbye

And left me lonely again just like you found me
Lonely again no arms around me
Just when I'm sure that my heart is secure
And my teardrops are dried with the warm blow inside
And this love of mine till the end of the line
That's always the time that I'm lonely again

You told me you wanted me only
That this time and this love would last
You told me I'd never be lonely
Now you belong to the past

And left me lonely again...
********** 8.
MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY
(Hank Cochran)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Make the world go away and get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say and make the world go away

Do you remember when you loved me before the world took me astray
If you do then forgive me and make the world go away

Make the world go away...

I'm sorry if I hurt you I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to and make the world go away

Make the world go away...
Say the things you used to say and make the world go away
********** 9.
WHAT'S HE DOIN' IN MY WORLD
(Carl Belew - Billy Joe Moore - Eddie Bush)
« © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
What's he doin' in my world what's he doin' holdin' my world
If he's not more than just a friend then why were you kissin' him
And what's he doin' in my world

What's he doin' in my world did you tell him that you're my girl
If your love is really true tell him my world's made for two
And what's he doin' in my world

Oh don't let me keep on wondering just what you're gonna do
Wondering if the one I love loves somebody new

What's he doin' in my world we don't need him in our world
So if it's true he's just a friend explain those kisses you gave him
And what's he doin' in my world
********** 10.
LAST WORD IN LONESOME IS ME
(Roger Miller)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me
My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely
The last word in lonesome is me

Too bad what's happened to our good love
Too bad what's happened to our good love
Sometimes our best isn't quite good enough
And the last word in lonesome is me

The last word in lonesome is me...
My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely
The last word in lonesome is me
********** 11.
BOUQUET OF ROSES
(Steve Nelson - Bob Hillard)
« © '47 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Better Half Music, ASCAP »
I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart
And as the door of love between us closes
Tears will fall like petals when we part

I begged you to be different but you'll always be untrue
I'm tired of forgiving now there's nothing left to do
So I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart
[ guitar ] I know that I should hate you after all you've put me through
But how can I be bitter when I'm still in love with you
So I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart
********** 12.
HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY THAT I LOVE YOU
(Scott Wiseman)
« © '45 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
[ with Carrie Margaret Frey ]
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's worth now to share my love forever
Well darling I'm telling you now

This 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
[ ac.guitar ] This heart would break in two if you refuse me...
Well darling I'm telling you now
********** 13.
LET IT BE ME
(Mike Curtis - Pierre Delanoe - Gilbert Becaud)
« © '57 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
[ with Lisa Carrie ]
I bless the day I found you I want to stay around you
And so I beg you let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one if you must cling to someone
Now and forever let it be me

Each time we meet love I find complete love
Without your sweet sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
[ guitar ] Each time we meet love...
And that you'll always let it be me
