(Curly Putman - Ben Peters)
« © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Unbelievable love unbvelievable love oh my sweet baby gives me unbelievable love
Sometimes I wake up after midnight worried about the coming day
She just puts her arms around me and gently loves my cares away
And then I wake up in the morning she gives me strenght to carry on
Cause I know her love goes with me yes it does now every hour that I'm gone
Unbelievable love unbvelievable love oh my sweet baby gives me unbelievable love
Now when the day is finally over one thing on my mind is home
She'll be waitin' there to give me the sweetest love I've ever known
Unbelievable love unbvelievable love oh my sweet baby gives me unbelievable love
Oh my sweet baby gives me unbelievable love hmm

IF HER BLUE EYES DON'T GET YOU
(Curly Putman - Steve Pippin - Richard Hill)
« © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
With a twinkle in her eye she'll make you feel proud that you're livin'
And with her sunny smile you'll think for a while you touched heaven
There's no way to explain it the feeling that you're gonna feel
If her blue eyes don't get you then brother I'll bet you
The sunshine of her smile sure will
She's not quite a devil but still she's no angel I'll say
Yet sometimes she's both but I think that's just to get her way
Whe she looks in your eyes and she smiles Lord you'll know you've been thrilled
If her blue eyes don't get you then brother I'll bet you
The sunshine of her smile sure will
She will tease you on she can make you feel so strong
And with her touch she'll make your heart stand still yes she will
If her blue eyes don't get you then brother I'll bet you
The sunshine of her smile sure will

ALL I HAD TO DO
(Ed Penney - Ron Oates)
« © '72 Rhodora Music, BMI »
Morning comes and spreads tomorrow on my bed so softly I can feel the darkness grow
Leaving like the girl who walked across my world and took the only love I'll ever know
She was all I wanted but I guess I never told her now she's gone away
If I had a wish my only wish would be that she was coming back to stay
All I had to do to hold her was hold her
I was always looking out for me and only thought about all the things I had to do
All I did was turn away when all she wanted me to say was I love you
[ strings ]
Evening starts to spread across my lonely bed so slowly I can feel the darkness grow
Shadows bring the gloom that fills my silent room with sounds of someone cryin' low
I close my eyes and memorize the softness of her lips on my own
What's the point in being strong or being right or wrong
That point means as being alone
All I had to do to hold her was hold her all I had to do to hold her was hold her

Darlin' dearest darlin' put your arms around me baby please
Darlin' dearest darlin' kiss me one more time before you leave

Darlin' dearest darlin' always in my heart and in my thoughts
Darlin' dearest darlin' havin' love you once I'll never stop

WHY CAN'T I TAKE YOU HOME
(Huey P. Long)
« © '72 Bourne Co,ASCAP »
I can see that want me look that's gleaming in your eyes
And the certain way you touch me makes me feel so warm inside
And when you hold me close oh Lord I feel desire so strong
If I've got what it takes why can't I take you home
Just hold me and help me hide this loneliness
The time we share together can fill the emptiness
If it's just for tonight and tomorrow finds me gone
If I've got what it takes why can't I take you home
[ guitar + organ ]
Just take me and make me the kind of love you need
For I'm not ashamed of the wanting in me
If it's just for tonight...
If I've got what it takes why can't I take you home

GOIN' AWAY PARTY
(Cindy Walker)
« © '69 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'm throwin' a goin' away party a party for a friend of mine
So put me somewhere off in a corner with a glass and bottle of your party wine
Don't worry it won't be a loud party I feel too low to get too high
It's just a sad goin' away party for a dream I'm telling goodbye
I'm throwin' a goin' away party a party for a friend of mine
Nobody's coming but a heartache and some tears will drop in now most anythime
Don't worry it won't be a loud party dreams don't make noise when they die
And Joe since sets a goin' away party go away and let me cry
And Joe since sets a goin' away party go away and let me cry

TRIANGLE
(Willis Graham)
« © '67 Sublime Music, BMI »
We're strangers in a room full of people you're close enough to touch me now and yet
With him there at your side we play a lovers game
And I make believe that we have never met
There's danger in a room full of people I watch him as he holds your little hand
And I remember nights when you were mine alone
And I wonder how much more a man can stand
Triangle his and yours and mine three people locked in love's design
Triangle likes some evil sign what a wild and hopeless tangle triangle
[ steel ]
We're actors on a stage full of people I ask you what's to be or not to be
I know a triangle must have a losing side and I wonder is it him or is it me
Triangle his and yours and mine...
What a wild and hopeless tangle triangle

I GUESS I HAD TOO MUCH TO DREAM LAST NIGHT
(Billy Joe Moore - Ernest Rufty)
« © '67 Sidewalk Music, BMI / Vanadore Music, BMI »
My eyes aren't seeing very well this morning I just can't make them open in the light
I tried to walk but I can't keep from stumbling
I guess I had too much to dream last night
I drink some tea but I can't find the table I make some toast but I can't eat a bite
I'd go and face the world but I'm not able
I guess I had too much to dream last night
When you walked out my end found its beginning
Without you there's no way to make things right
And now it seems that my whole world is ending
I guess I had too much to dream last night
I guess I had too much to dream last night

HELPIN' HER GET OVER HIM
(Chauck Rogers - Jim Ed Brown)
« © '72 Jamie Music, BMI »
She was more than any woman I had dreamed of
And I found it more than easy giving in
So I fell in love not knowing that her lips would soon grow cold
I was only helpin' her get over him
She was always more than willing with her loving and I never realized that even then
When she would wake me up at dawnin' with her needin' and her wantin'
I was only helpin' her get over him
Yes I'm only helpin' her get over him till she finds the strenght to stand along again
Wish that I could keep believing and I hate my eyes for seeing
That I'm only helpin' her get over him yes I'm only helpin' her get over him

BECAUSE IT COULDN'T LAST
(Charles Rogers)
« © '72 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
In your eyes I see a sign of sadness on your lips I taste a touch of fear
You can ease my mind with all those pretty words you're saying
It's the worse that you're not saying that I hear
I can tell the time has passed for talking you don't feel that tingle when we touch
I misread your thoughts while you were lying there beside me
And I offered you too little or too much
You won't catch me crying cause it's over tonight is lost and yesterday is past
Truthfully I cannot say I'm sad because it's over
I'm just sad because it couldn't last I'm just sad because it couldn't last
