ALWAYS REMEMBER

(Jerry Bradley - Patsy Lawley)
« © '71 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Always remember I love you I love you only you
Always remember your whole life through I love you just you

I'd give anything in this world if I could be with you right now
And hold you real tight in my arms
But since I can't I thought maybe if you knew how much I missed you
It might help you feel peaceful and warm

Always remember I love you I love you you just you
Always remember your whole life through I love you just you

And I ever thought I won't be there to lay down beside you tonight
It's not because I don't care
Darling you're in every thought that I think every dream and every prayer
So always remember I love you I love you just you

KIND OF NEEDIN' I NEED

(Bill Anderson)
« © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The boss needs me to come to work in the morning he told me so
My landlord needs me to pay my rent or out I go
The parakeet needs me to teach him a song
The puppy dog needs me to bring him a bone
Everebody needs me but something's wrong

That ain't the kinda needin' I need baby ain't the kinda needin' I need
I need love your kind of love tender warm and sweet
I need your lips to kiss me and tell me I'm your man
Talk to me in the language of love that's all I understand
And that's the kinda needin' I need
[ guitar ] My next door neighbor needs me to help him paint his fence
The kid with the biard and beads needs me to talk him some sense
The sailboat needs me to find some wind sail it up and down the water again
And you need me just to be your friend

And that ain't the kinda needin'...
That's the kinda needin' I need baby ain't the kinda needin' I need
That's the kinda needin' I need baby ain't the kinda needin' I need

WHEN I LOVED HER

(Kris Kristofferson)
« © '68 Careers Music, BMI »
She didn't look so pretty as some other I have known
And she wasn't good at conversation when we were alone
But she had a way of making me believe that I belong
And it felt like coming home when I found her

She seemed to be so proud of me just walking holding hands
And she didn't think that money was the measure of a man
And we seemed to fit together when I held her in my arms
And it left me feeling warm when I loved her

She brightened up the day like the early morning sun
And she made what I was doing seem worthwhile
It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever done
And it made me want to smile when I loved her

Some of us were born to cast our fortunes to the wind
And I guess I'm bound to travel down a road that never ends
But I know I'll never look upon the likes of her again
And I'll never understand why I lost her

She brightened up the day...
Hmm when I loved her hmm when I loved her

STRANGER IN MY PLACE

(Kenny Rogers - Kin Vassy)
« © '71 Devon Music, BMI »
I see the town where we were born I see the place we were raised
I see all the things you wanted that I never gave
I see sadness I see sorrow I see pain on your face
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

I can see now where we quarreled I can see now I was wrong
I can see where you might weaken and I wasn't strong
I see mem'ries of a love gone bad that time cannot erase
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

No one seems to know you quite like I do no one knows the things that make you cry
And looking back it seems I never showed you and now I lay alone and wonder why
I can see now where you might grow tired of dreams that don't come true
I can see where I have fallen short of the things I promised you
I can see now through my tear filled eyes no love on your face
But I still can't see a stranger in my place

ONE TOO MANY MORNINGS

(Mike Settle)
« © '71 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Well I woke up one too many mornings
To find that you had not yet made it home
And I sat up too many midnights crying
Till now the time for tears has come and gone

One too many mornings one too many midnights without you
One too many mornings left me lonely left me crying
Left me no choice but to say goodbye to you

And now you found I'm gonna leave you
You think it's time to say how much you care
You say you just can't live without my loving
Love you never seemed to need when it was there

One too many mornings...
One too many mornings...

YOU'RE STILL THE ONLY ONE I'LL EVER LOVE

(Bill Anderson)
« © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Time has passed and things have changed you've gone your way I've gone mine
On the surface it's all over but beneath the surface you're still on my mind
Cause you're still the only one I'll ever love forget the hours forget the miles
Your lips are still the lips I'm dreaming of and you're still the only one I'll ever love
[ steel ] All my thoughts of you are good ones happy hours that just flew by
You were always someone special and you'll be my someone special till I die
And you're still the only one I'll ever love treasured mem'ries of treasured times
Your lips are still the lips I'm dreaming of and you're still the only one I'll ever love

I'M ALRIGHT

(Bill Anderson)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm alright I'm alright
I'm a little bit red in the eyes a little bit hurt in the heart
A little bit weary in the soul but I'm alright I'm alright

You mean I'm worth the dime it took call me on the phone
Since when are you concerned about the way things are at home
I'm doing fine without you thank you me and the dog and the cat
I don't care what you're doing and I careless where you're at

I'm alright I'm alright...
[ guitar + steel ] The beds are made my clothes are clean there's groceries on the shelf
You're not here to take care of me so I found somebody else
No I don't go out very much but I date the girl who does
She comes over here and loves me honey I ain't the fool I was

But I'm alright I'm alright...
I'm alright I'm alright

COME SUNDOWN

(Kris Kristofferson)
« © '70 Combine Music, BMI »
I heard the front door closing softly as I weaken from my sleep
With the last touch of her lips Lord like a whisper on my cheek
And I cursed the sun for rising for the worst Lord is yet to come
Cause this morning she's just leaving but come sundown she'll be gone

See the lipstick on the pillow that I placed beneath her head
And the soft sheets still feel warm Lord where she lay upon my bed
And it hurts to know it's over and the hurt Lord has just begun
Cause this morning she's just leaving but come sundown she'll be gone

FEEL FREE TO GO

(Bill Anderson)
« © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Day after day and for hour upon precious hour
I've held you and marveld at love that stayed fresh as a flower
From daylights to nightfall through sunlight and rainfall
Our spark hasn't once lost its glow
My arms have entwined you but never confined you
I'd die if you left but I want you to feel free to go

Feel free to go if my love ever feels like a chain around your heart
Stay cause you want me not cause you feel like you're tied
I love you I need you a love that so few people know
I want you to stay but I want you to feel free to go
[ guitar ] If we should ever come to the forks in the road you go your way
And never look back in regret that you hurt me in some way
For right now if the sun stopped and all of the fond stop
My cup would still overflow
For you've been a treasure beyond any measure
I'd die if you left but I want you to feel free to go

Feel free to go...

HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT

(Kris Kristofferson)
« © '70 Combine Music, BMI »
Take the ribbon from your hair shake it loose and let it fall
Laying soft against my skin like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time help me make it through the night

I don't care who's right or wrong I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow Lord tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night
[ steel ] I can't stand to be alone help me make it through the night

LONESOME IS THE MOTHER OF SOUL

(Bill Anderson)
« © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
They say I sing my songs with lots of blue eyed soul
What they mean is Lord I sing it sad
But feeling like I feel I can't sing no other way
She left me Lord and oh I hurt so bad

And lonesome is the mother of soul
And lonesome gave birth to my blues
I'm the orphan child of emptiness the son of heartache untold
And lonesome is the mother of soul
[ steel ] I thought that hurts like this were saved for those who are dying
Lord I must be dying and not know
The soulful sound you hear from me is only my heart crying
I'm lonesome and I miss my baby so

And lonesome is the mother of soul...
Lonesome is the mother of soul
