LOVIN' ARMS

(Tom Jans)
« © '72 Almo Music, ASCAP »
If you could see me now the one who said that he'd rather roam
The one who said he'd rather be alone if you could only see me now

If I could hold you now just for a moment if I could really make you mine
Just for a while turn back the hands of time if I could only hold you now

But I've been too long in the wind too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains
And laying in your lovin' arms again

If you could hear me now singing somewhere through the lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight if you could only hear me now

But I've been too long in the wind too long in the rain...
I can almost feel your lovin' arms again

LIFE IS MADE OF THIS

(Liz Anderson)
« © '74 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
At first when I was young and small I've thought that life was made of
All the little things the day by day things peanut butter children's playthings
Daddy's strenght and mommy's kiss I've thought life was made of this
But then I was only just a child
Then as I grew exotic places beckon me and strangers' faces
Said to me think big and prosper win a Grammy or an Oscar
Make it big and be someone so that's what I've gone and done
But it all seem empty after awhile
For all the world is cold and lonely fame and fortune made me only
Realize life's greatest charms are those you can't hold in your arms
And now that I've been through it all I know that life is made of
All the little things the day by day things peanut butter children's playthings
Honey's arms and baby's kiss simple things bring happiness
Now I know that life is made of this

IT'S THAT TIME OF NIGHT

(Willis Graham)
« © '74 Sublime Music, BMI »
I know it's after midnight and I'm knocking on your door
And I guess the least I could have done was call
I hear you say who is it then you open up your door
And you see this fool here standin' in the hall

It's that time of night when a man needs some lovin'
And my wanting grows stronger for you
It's that time of night when a man needs his woman
And only your lovin' will do

Your bedside light is shining on the teardrops in your eyes
And I hold you just the way I always do
Your trembling body tells me so much more than any words
That you need me just as much as I need you

It's that time of night when a man needs some lovin'...
It's that time of night when a man needs some lovin'...

SOMETIME SUNSHINE

(Jim Coleman - Johnny Wilson)
« © '74 Yearbook Music, BMI »
She opens my door and crosses the floor and touches my cheek
She's startin' the storm her fingers are warm the feelings are deep

She's my sometime sunshine when she turns her good love on me
She's my sometimes in her time of need

She's needin' me more than ever before by the mood she is in
She's turned out the light it's that time of night to be more than friends

She's my sometime sunshine when she turns her good love on me...

I light up a smoke she begins to stroke her hair with my comb
She'll need me again I wish I knew when I hated alone

She's my sometime sunshine when she turns her good love on me...

ANN (SUMMERTIME AGAIN)

(Tom T. Hall - Alan Pace)
« © '74 Hallnote Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Ann summertime again leaves are pretty green at falls in the stream
Ann summertime again I went to see our friend you know it's just a tree
I met a wise old possum goin' somewhere through the meadow
Birds seeking sleeping places somewhere in the evening shadows
Ann summertime again your folks came by today and said they couldn't stay
Ann flowers are in bloom I put some in your room you wanted it that way
I went to put the flower on the place where you are sleeping
I went there so light hearted evening shadows caught me weeping
Ann summertime again

I'VE GOT A WOMAN TO LEAN ON

(Jim Owen)
« © '74 Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
(I've got a woman to lean on)
I've seen times there was no way the sun could ever shine
And I've seen me so completely down and I count up every time
But I've got me something special that keeps me going strong
When life gets rough hmm hmm I've got a woman to lean on

I've got a woman to lean on when I need her she stands by
She's a lovin' flowin' fountain the stream that never will run dry
She's a lady and she's a mother I think of which some kinda lover
Hmm hmm I've got a woman to lean on
[ fiddle - steel ] I can't buy her the things I'd like but I don't hear her complain
If I needed water to save my life I think she could make it rain
And it's just a fact of livin' that sometimes things go wrong
But I don't worry hmm hmm I've got a woman to lean on

I've got a woman to lean on when I need her she stands by...
Hmm I've got a woman to lean on

YOU WEAR A SMILE

(Lamar Morris - Ronnie Hughes)
« © '74 Bocephus Music, BMI »
I heard somebody loves me wonder who
Well I hope they're right and I hope that someone's you
And if you'll only stay with me a while
I promise when you leave you'll wear a smile

And I'll turn teardrops into love stops
That will be making while dawn is breaking without a tear in your eyes
I promise when you leave you'll wear a smile

I heard somebody loves me wonder who...
[ steel ] Though we both know someday we may go
I'll spend my time making yours a good time without a tear in your eyes
I promise when you leave you'll wear a smile

I heard somebody loves me wonder who...
I heard somebody loves me wonder who...

AFTER DARK

(Jim Owen - Terri Gibbs)
« © '74 Wild Blue Music, BMI »
I'm making ready for the nighttime and just waiting your knock on my door
When the evening sun is gone then the light of love comes on after dark after dark
Hmm you know where to come to find sweet lovin'
And I know how to fill your every need hmm
Yes I love you and I need you like no other has before
I keep my eyes on the door after dark
[ piano ] When I wake up in the morning I'm already looking forward
To the time when another day is through
Cause I know that the nighttime oh Lord it's me and you time
And wait till after dark after dark (after dark)

SOMEONE THAT I CAN FORGET

(Linda Hargrove - Pete Drake)
« © '74 Careers Music, BMI »
I come here tonight to discover a lover that I'd never known
Someone to talk to and smile at and laugh with till I take her home

I come here to find me a stranger somebody that I never met
Someone to love me then leave me alone but someone that I can forget
[ fiddle ] You might say it's not unexcepted neglected after being your man
You've left too many mem'ries to lay with so I'm forgetting the best way I can

I come here to find me a stranger somebody that I never met...
I need someone that I can forget

IF WISHES WERE HORSES

(Maxine Brown)
« © '74 Jimsue Music, BMI »
If being good means being lonely that's not for me
Cause I'm lonely for someone who will never be free
If being bad means to have her I'll live without cry
If wishes were horses beggars would ride

If wishes were horses beggars would ride
If beggars could be chosers you'd be here by my side
If sinners were saints I'd have nothing to hide
If wishes were horses beggars would ride
[ steel ] If being happy means riches then a proper I would be
When daydreams are treasures then sadness comes free
Oh I wish I had a nickel for each time I've cried
If wishes were horses beggars would ride

If wishes were horses beggars would ride...
