WHAT A MAN MY MAN IS
(Glenn Sutton)
« © '74 Peer Music, BMI »
Goodbye blues I'm not gonna sing you no more
I finally got my hands on what I'v been looking for
I've found me a man that knows how to keep me eatin' from the palm of his hand
Talk about sunshine I've got the sunshine man
Man what a man what a man what a man my man is
There's not a day when he doesn't say he needs me and loves me
Man what a man what a man what a man my man is
He's always around when I'm down the most with two lovin' arms to hold me close
Man what a man what a man what a man my man is
[ guitar ]
Hello rainbow I've finally found your pot of gold
I finally got my hands on a real live dream I can hold
I've found me a man that knows how to keep me sittin' up on cloud nine
Talk about the music I hear it all the time
Man what a man what a man...

I HONESTLY LOVE YOU
(Peter Allen - Jeff Barry)
« © '74 Irving Music, BMI »
Maybe I hang around here a little more than I should
We both know I got someplace else to go
But I've got something to tell you that I never thought I would
And I believe you really ought to know I love you I honestly love you
You don't have to answer I can see it in your eyes maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple and you must realize
That it's comin' from my heart and not my head I love you I honestly love you
I'm not tryin' to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along every day
And you shouldn't blow the chance you got the chance to say
I love you I love you I honestly love you
If we both were born in another place and time
This moment might be ending with a kiss
But there you are with yours here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it like this
I love you I honestly love you honestly love you

EVERYTHING'S FALLING IN PLACE FOR ME AND YOU
(Murry Kellum - Larry Cheshier)
« © '75 Peer Music, BMI »
Babe we've had our share of hard times
But somehow we managed to see them through
And at last we can say with this love there's a way
Cause everything's falling in place for me and you
Babe we came so close to get enough there were times it seemed we only trained to do
That old road's been long and wide but at last we almost arrived
And everything's falling in place for me and you
Everything seems to be falling in place now
And I know that all the pieces will soon fit together for me and for you
So at last we can say with this love there's a way
Cause everything's falling in place for me and you
So at last we can say with this love there's a way
Cause everything's falling in place for me and you
Falling in place for me and you falling in place for me and you

TELL ME A LIE
(Barbara Wyrick - Charles Buckins)
« © '74 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Tell me a lie say I look familiar though I know that you don't even know my name
Tell me a lie say you just got into town
Even though I've seen you here before just hangin' round
Tell me a lie say you're not a married man
Even though I saw you slip off your weddin' band
Tell me a lie say you got no place to stay
You'll be glad to drop me off cause it's on your way
Tell me a lie when you take me home
(Tell me a lie) I don't really wanna spend the night alone
Tell me a lie don't worry about my sorrow you'll be long gone tomorrow
Then you won't not to see me cry tell me a lie
Tell me a lie tell me that you need me
And I could tell me it's not real the way you want me to
C'mon tell me a lie when you're lyin' close beside me
And whisper when you hold me sweet words like I love you
Mhm tell me a lie when the night is almost over
Make it easy on us both when it's time for you to go
Tell me a lie say you really like to stay
Tell me please just one more time that you'll be back someday
Tell me a lie when you take me home...
Tell me a lie when you take me home...

SOMEONE TO FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED
(Glenn Sutton - Arthur Leo Owens)
« © '75 Peer Music, BMI »
If I could find another pair of arms that could make me feel safe and warm
Then I might fall in love again I just might give my all again
If I could find someone to finish what you started
If I could find two soft lips so sweet to love away this feeling of defeat
Then love might be my friend again sunshine might be mine again
If I could find someone to finish what you started
Losing you has stopped me what being lonely me
It's like heaven someone wake you in the middle of a tree
If I could find a pair of eyes that shine
And smile the way yours did when you were mine
Then I might fall in love again I just might give my all again
If I could find someone to finish what you started
If I could find someone to finish what you started

EVERYBODY'S SOMEBODY'S FOOL
(Howard Greenfield - Jack Keller)
« © '59 Careers Music, BMI / Colgems Music, ASCAP »
The tears I've cried for you could fill an ocean
But you don't know how many tears I cry
And though you only leave me on and hurt me
I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye
Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are all exceptions to the rule
Yes everybody's somebody's fool
I told myself it's best that I forget you
Though I'm a fool at least I know the score
Yet darling I'd be twice as blue without you
It hurts but I'd come running back for more
Cause everybody's somebody's fool...
Someday you'll find someone you really care for
And if her love should prove to be untrue
You'll know how much this heart of mine is breaking
You'll cry for her the way I cried for you
Cause everybody's somebody's fool...

PLEASE DON'T TELL ME HOW THE STORY ENDS
(Kris Kristofferson)
« © '71 Combine Music, BMI »
This could be our last good night together
We may never pass this way again
Just let me enjoy it till it's over or forever
Please don't tell me how the story ends
See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday these may be all that we'll remember of each other
Please don't tell me how the story ends
Never's just the echo of forever
Lonesome as a love that might have been
Let me go on lovin' and believin' till it's over
Please don't tell me how the story ends
Please don't tell me how the story ends

WALK ME TO THE DOOR
(Conway Twitty)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Walk me to the door and hold me close just one more time
Kiss me just once more the way you did when you were mine
The longest walk I'll ever take will be across that floor
That's why I'm asking one last favor walk me to the door
I love another won't you let me be these are the words that you said to me
How can I go through life without you like it was before
When I can even make it to the door
Walk me to the door...
[ fiddle ]
I promise I won't try to make commands I know I don't deserve you back again
My trembling lips are begging now they never did before
Just one last favor walk me to the door
Walk me to the door...

WHERE IS ALL THAT LOVE YOU TALKED ABOUT
(Glenn Sutton - Arthur Leo Owens - Gene Vowell)
« © '75 Peer Music, BMI »
The first time that you slipped your arms around me
You swore that it was love beyond the shadow of a doubt
I know your heart was filled with good attentions
But where is all that love you talked about
Where is all the candle light where are all the roses
Where are the arms you said I'd never be without
You left me here all by myself to wonder
Where is all that love you talked about
[ steel ]
You painted such a pretty picture for me
You said the love is one thing that I'd never be without
Well I guess I must have got the wrong impression
Cause where is all that love you talked about
Where is all the candle light...
Just where is all that love you talked about
