DEAR JOHN LETTER

(Lewis Talley - Billy Barton - Fuzzy Owen) « © '53 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Dear John oh how I hate to write
Dear John I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has died the way like grass upon the lawn
And tonight I wed another dear John

I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me
He handed me a letter and I was just as happy as I could be
Cause the fighting was all over and the battles have all been won
But then I opened up the letter and that started dear John
Won't you please send back my picture my husband wants it now
When I tell you who I'm wedding you won't care dear anyhow
And it hurts me so to tell ye that my love for you has gone
But tonight I wed your brother dear John

And tonight I wed another dear John

TOO USED TO BEING WITH YOU

(Jack Rhodes - Don Carter) « © '64 Owen Publications, BMI »
Mhm too used to that certain someone
To offer my love to anyone new
My excuse for not wanting no one
Too used to being with you

When you lose a true love you treasure
Other offers are just the past time
You find a kiss just a cheap imitation
The love they offer's not real genuine

Too used to that certain someone...

Some other's arms may hold and caress you
And some other's lips may burn on my own
While my eyes are filled with their beauty
My heart inside will be crying alone

Too used to that certain someone...

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

You know I could be happy in just one little room with only a table and a chair
As happy as I'd be in a kingdom by the sea darling if you're there
And I could be rich or I could be poor but if you were by my side
I could be anyplace in the whole wide world and I know that I'll be satisfied

Way up on the mountain...
Any place is all right long as you are there

WE'LL SING IN THE SUNSHINE

(Gale Garnett) « © '64 Lupercalia Music, ASCAP »
We'll sing in the sunshine we'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine then be on our way

I will never love you the cost of love's too dear
But though I'll never love you I'll live with you one year
I'll sing to you each morning mhm I'll kiss you every night
But darling don't cling to me I'll soon be out of sight

But we can sing in the sunshine...

Daddy he once told me now don't you love you any man
Just take what they may give you and give out what you can
Now when our year has ended and I have gone away
You'll often speak about me and this is what you'll say

We sang in the sunshine we laughed every day
We sang in the sunshine then went on our way
Yes we sang in the sunshine then went on our way

I DON'T CARE (JUST AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME)

(Buck Owens) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I don't care the sun don't shine I don't care the bells don't chime
Just as long as you love me
I don't care the tops don't spin I don't care the gins don't gin
Just as long as you love me

So darling let ir rain let it snow let the cold north wind blow
Just as long as you love me
North or south east or west you know I will stand the test
Just as long as you love me
[ guitar ] I don't care the birds don't sing I don't care the bells don't ring
Just as long as you love me
I don't care the world don't turn I don't care the fire don't burn
Just as long as you love me

So darling let ir rain let it snow...
Just as long as you love me

I LOVE YOU

(Billy Barton) « © '53 Unichappell Music, BMI »
I love you you you no one else will ever do
Always true true true I'll forever be to you
I love you no one new will never ever do
I'll always be true to you cause I love you

The wedding bells are ringing in the chapel just over the hill
They're ringing for the wedding of my best friend Bill
He wed the girl I loved and I'd rather to die than to live I got to choose
Cause I've lost her and I've lost the friend
But there's one thing I'd never lose that's the way that she says

I love you you you no one else will ever do
Always true true true I'll forever be to you

Yes in her shy sorta way I could leave you here now
Cause I like she was here today
She said she would always love me she would always be good and true
Yes that's one thing I'll never forget the way she says
I'll always be true to you cause I love you

I love you you you...
I'll always be true to you cause I love you

WE MUST HAVE BEEN OUT OF OUR MINDS

(Melba Montgomery) « © '63 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
We said our goodbyes long ago
Never thinking we'd miss each other so
All the memories we can't leave behind
Oh we must have been out of our minds

I've thought I loved another not you
Oh how foolish I've thought the same too
They both turned out to be the wrong kinds
Oh we must have been out of our minds
[ piano ] Let's forgive and forget the past we've known
We'll reap together all the wild seeds we've sowed
Surely they can forgive us and find
That we must have been out of our minds

Yes I've thought I loved another...
Yes we must have been out of our minds

LET IT BE ME

(Mann Curtis - Pierre Delanoe - Gilbert Becaud) « © '57 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
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 love what would life be
So never leave me lonely tell me you love me only
And that you always let it be me

If for each bit of gladness someone must taste of sadness
I beg the sorrow please let it be me
And no matter how the price is I'll make the sacrifices
For each new tomorrow just let it be me

Each time we meet love...
Let it be me

TOGETHER AGAIN

(Buck Owens) « © '63 Central Songs, BMI »
Together again our tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters now we're together again
[ guitar + steel ] Together again the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms now that's where I belong
The love that we knew is living again
And nothing else matters now we're together again
We're together again

THAT'S ALL I WANT FROM YOU

(Fritz Rotter - M. Rotha) « © '54 Weiss And Barry Music, BMI »
A little love that slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes that's all I want from you
A sunny day with hopes up to the sky a kiss and no goodbye
That's all I want from you

Don't let me down oh show me that you care
Remember when you give you also get your share
Don't let me down I have no time to wait
Tomorrow might not come when dreams're dreamed too late
A little love that slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes that's all I want from you
[ guitar ] That's all I want from you

Don't let me down oh show me that you care...
That's all I want from you

INVISIBLE TEARS

(Ned Miller) « © '64 Central Songs, BMI »
Invisible tears in my eyes incredible pain in my heart
Indestructable memories are passing in review
Impossible though things may get improbable I will forget
Indelible memories of sweet loveable you

You're back again so I'll let you in
Altough I'm only stealing pictures from the past
Those arms are not real but somehow I feel
If I'd just close my eyes then maybe it will last

Invisible tears in my eyess...
[ guitar ] Invisible tears in my eyes...
