DON'T TOUCH ME

[ # 12 country hit ] (Hank Cochran)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me
That look in your eyes pulls me apart
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

Your kiss is like a drink when I'm thirsty
And I'm thirsty for you with all my heart
Don't love me then act as though we've never kissed
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

Don't give me something that you might take away
To have you then lose you wouldn't be smart on my part
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me sweetheart

WAIT TILL THE SUN COMES UP

(Ray Griff)
« © '66 Blue Echo Music, ASCAP »
Wait till the sun comes up you might decide to stay

How can you cast my love aside as if it were a stone
Up living here with me and calling this your home
You don't have to leave tonight tomorrow's soon enough
All I ask is that you'll wait until the sun comes up

Wait till the sun comes up before you go away
Wait till the sun comes up you might decide to stay
[ guitar ] I don't belive the fire is out as long as there's a spark
Things look different in the light than they do in the dark
I wouldn't try to keep you here if you didn't mean so much
All I ask is that you'll wait until the sun comes up
Wait till the sun comes up...
You might decide to stay

THINK I'LL GO SOMEWHERE AND CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP

(Bill Anderson)
« © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I just kissed the one I love for the last time
And never have his soft lips then so sweet
He's gone away and won't be back forever
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep

I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
Not because I'm sad but cause I'm weak
I can't stand the thought of life alone without him
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
[ harmonica ] Just before he said goodbye he called me darling
And slowly ran his fingers down my cheeks
I thought I'd die when he said he still love me
Think I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep

I'll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep...

I LOVE YOU DROPS

(Bill Anderson)
« © '66 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
They're not teardrops just sincere drops
They're I love you drops cause I love you

They were on my pillow when I woke up this morning
They were on the letter I tried all day to write
And just a little while ago I saw them falling
On your picture as I kissed it goodnight

I love you drops I miss you drops
Hurry home drops you've been gone so long drops
They're not teardrops just sincere drops
That say I'm lonesome and I love you

Never knew this heart could hurt the way it hurts for you
Never lived so many lifetimes in a week
Why don't you come back to me the way you said you would
And kiss these little crystals off my cheek

I love you drops I miss you drops...

WELCOME TO MY WORLD

(Ray Winkler - John Hathcock)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Welcome to my world won't you come on in
Miracles I guess still happen now and then
Step into my heart leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world built with you in mind

Knock and the door will open seek and you will find
Ask and you'll be given the key to this world of mine
I'll be waiting here with my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you welcome to my world

Knock and the door will open seek and you will find...

I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY

(Hank Williams)
« © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever seen a night so long when time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry

Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die
That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry

BABY

[ # 7 country hit ] (Ray Griff)
« © '65 Blue Echo Music, ASCAP »
Baby sweet sweet baby my world's so cold and empty since you've gone
Baby sweet sweet baby without you I don't know how I'll go on
I've got that lonesome feeling deep inside of me
And it just keeps right on hurtin' all the time
I'd forget you if it wasn't for your memory
You're out of sight but you're never out of my mind
Baby sweet sweet baby I can't help loving you the way I do
Baby sweet sweet baby please come on back and call me baby too

TURN AROUND TEARDROPS

(David Briggs - Jimmy Rule)
« © '66 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Turn around teardrops turn around tearsops
We'll turn loose when he walks out the door

He just gave me the news we were finished
An old love has proved much too strong
So he drive by just to tell me
What I've really must have known all along

Turn around teardrops turn around tearsops...
[ guitar - steel ] The hurt I feel mustn't show in my eyes although I can make it alone
But I hold back my emotions
Cause there'll be plenty of time for crying when he's gone

Turn around teardrops turn around tearsops...
We'll turn loose when he walks out the door

SOMEONE BEFORE ME

(Bobby Hicks)
« © '65 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Someone before me still turns you inside out
When we're together she's all you talk about
You're always wanting me to do the things she used to do
Someone before me sure left her mark on you

I've tried to get inside your heart but I don't have a chance
I can see she's on your mind with every little glance
You're living on old mem'ries my love can't get through to you
Someone before me sure left her mark on you

I've tried to get inside your heart but I don't have a chance...

YOU CAN'T STOP MY HEART FROM BREAKING

(Gloria Shayne - Noel Regney - Bill Downer)
« © '66 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Your lips are saying goodbye you tell me not to cry
But you can't stop my heart from breaking
I'll play the rules of the game I'll learn to hide the pain
But you can't stop my heart from breaking
You can tell your new love I'll smile and let you go
But what it cost me you both will never know

I'll say I'm happy for you
But if you think it's true
What a sad mistake you're making
No you can't stop my heart from breaking

I'll say I'm happy for you...

I'M LIVING IN TWO WORLDS

(Jan Crutchfield)
« © '66 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'm living in two worlds dividing my time
Unhappy in your world and lonesome in mine

When I'm in your world I just pretend
That I'm really happy though I don't fit in
Then I drift in my world so cold and alone
I'm living in two worlds where do I belong

I'm living in two worlds dividing my time...

Old friends in your world are new friends to me
So I can't take part in your old memories
Our love shared in two worlds that don't turn the same
We each have our own worlds and neither can change

I'm living in two worlds dividing my time...
