CRY

(Churchill Kohlman)
« © '51 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It's no secret you feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream don't you sometimes think it's real
But it's only false emotions that you feel

If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind the cloudy sky
So let your head down and go on and cry

If your heartaches seem to...
Oh let your head down and go on and cry

NEVER ENDING SONG OF LOVE

(Delaney Bramlett)
« © '71 Unart Catalog, BMI »
I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you

I've got a never ending love...

After all this time of being alone
We can love one another feel for each other from now on
Feels so good I can hardly stand it

Never ending love...
[ steel + choir ] After all this time of being alone...
I've got a never ending love...

ASK ANY WOMAN

(Liz Anderson)
« © '72 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Ask any woman who cares for someone
Who lives to love him and loves to live
And she will tell you that God has given
The best that heaven has got to give

Someone to love each day to love him in every way
That's been a woman's way since time began
Ask any woman ask any woman who loves her man

He comes home tired the world has worn him
And tossed and torn him in fortune's ring
Time to remember be warm and tender
He needs your love now more than anything

So love him tenderly the way he wants to be
Touch his emotions with gentle hands
Ask any woman ask any woman who loves her man
[ piano ] So love him tenderly...

BEDTIME STORY

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '71 Algee Music, BMI »
I've told you almost every bedtime story
And you've heard almost every nursery rhyme
So tonight before you'll go to sleep and pray the Lord your soul to keep
Here's mommy's favorite story one more time

Once upon a time there was a castle
And in this castle lived a king and queen
And it came to pass they both were blessed
By one little blue eyed princess
With the softest golden curles you've ever seen

And then one day he met this pretty lady
And she had lots of pretty words to say
And this part makes your mommy sad cause oh what big eyes she had
And she took his hand and led him far away

Still it's just another bedtime story
But telling it brings teardrops to my eyes
Just another pretty bedtime story
So please forgive mommy if she cries

Then it came to pass the king grew lonely
And the pretty lady wasn't all she seemed
He realized that he was wrong and started his long journey home
For he missed his little princess and his queen

Then he was back and safe inside his castle
And tears of joy came falling down like rain
Then the castle rang with laughter they lived happy ever after
Knowing he would never leave again

Still it's just another bedtime story...
Won't you please forgive your mommy if she cries

I WON'T MENTION IT AGAIN

(Cam Mullins)
« © '71 Seaview Music, BMI »
I know you're tired of being all I ever wanted
You'll no longer feel the love I have for you
What happens now what will I do with all the mem'ries
And the dreams of all the things we'll never do

But I won't mention it again I won't think about tomorrow
Just let it happen live each hour day by day
But let me tell you before you go how much I love you
Then I won't mention it again I won't mention it again
[ strings ] I feel my life has reached an early sign of autumn
In my heart the leaves are falling love is cold
And everything that once was warm and new is gone now
Leaving nothing but this hunger in my soul

But I won't mention it again...

TONIGHT MY BABY'S COMING HOME

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '71 Sherrill Music, BMI »
Last night he called from Dallas
He was havin' a beer at the Crystal Palace
He said honey you won't be alone for long
I got to make just one more stop
To pick up a ring in Little Rock
And I'm gonna head this semi straight for home

Fourteen wheels a whinin' four big headlights shinin'
Him and that semi been away too long
Hope he don't get stop from speedin'
Cause I've got everything he's needin'
Waitin' for him right here at home

He's got that big ole engine singing singing my favorite song
And I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's coming home
[ guitar ] Ten thousand miles I've missed him it's been a week since I kissed him
And forty truckstops since I held him tight
A million chicks and he can get 'em they wanna make love and he won't let 'em
The only thing he wants he'll get tonight

He's got that big ole engine singin'...
I know he's headin' my way...
I know he's headin' my way...
I know he's headin' my way...
I know he's headin' my way...

COTTON JENNY

(Gordon Lightfoot)
« © '69 Early Morning Music, SESAC »
There's a house on a hill by a roll-down weathered old mill
In the valley below where the river winds there's no such thing as hard times
And a soft southern flame oh Cotton Jenny's her name
And she wakes him up when the sun goes down and the wheels of love go round

Wheels of love go round love go round love go round joyful sound
He ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend but then the wheels go round

When the new day begins he goes down to the cotton gin
And he makes his time worthwhile till then and then he climbs back up again
And she waits by the door oh Cotton Jenny he's sore
And she rubs his feet while the sun goes down and the wheels of love go round

Wheels of love go round love go round...
Wheels of love go round love go round...
Wheels go round wheels go round love go round

KISS AWAY

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '66 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Kiss away kiss away guess that's all that's left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Smile again let me smile again make my life worthwhile again
Please come back and kiss these tears away

Only you can change these sad and blue days
Only you can make them I-love-you days
Oh kiss away kiss away still there's nothing left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away

Only you can change these sad and blue days...

WHEN YOU SAY LOVE

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '72 Elsmere Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
When you say love you're telling everyone your moment's come
And you've found what your heart's been looking for
When you say love you've said the only word that tells the world
You never will be lonely anymore

You've got a pretty rainbow all your own and at last you've found your pot of gold
You're completely satisfied a feeling of contentment fills your soul

When you say love it means you've found your special one
And that you care enough to give your very best
When you say love there's not another word that means so much
But that four-letter word means happiness

Your heart has given wings to touch the sky higher than the eagle dares to fly
If you took everything you've heard and tried to make a magic word
You'll find you've said it all when you say love

When you say love it means you've found your special one...
Your heart has given wings to touch the sky...
You'll find you've said it all when you say love

WE CAN MAKE IT

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '72 Algee Music, BMI »
We can make it the world is rough but we can take it
Cause you're my shelter from the storm now
I've got your love to keep me warm now
No temptation can ever shake our love's foundation
We're strong enough to take it we can make it

Now we'll say goodbye to stormy weather
Safe within each other's arms we will spend our lives together
Love has found us and now its chain is wrapped around us
And no one can break it we can make it

Love has found us and now its chain is wrapped around us
And no one can break it we can make it
We can make it

WE'VE GOT TO GET IT ON AGAIN

(Donald Addrisi)
« © '72 Blackwood Music, BMI »
We never talk there was a time when we hadn't enough words to say
We never touch but I remember when you couldn't keep your hands away
The thrill is gone there's no desire now we've got to feed the fire

We've got to get it on again work it out together
Learn to love again we've got to make it right
Come on we've got to get it on again get out right together
Fall in love again we keep our love alive

We naver laugh we used to know so many happy songs
We never kiss in the penetrating way that ease to turn me on
Once there was fire in our lives silver sparks that used to fly

We've got to get it on again...
[ choir ] Once there was fire in our lives silver sparks that used to fly
We've got to get it on again...
