(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant) « © '65 House Of Bryant, BMI »
Come live with me and be my love share my bread and wine
Be wife to me be life to me be mine
Come live with me and be my love let our dreams combine
Be mate to me be fate to me be mine

With these hands I'll build a roof to shield your head
And with these hands I'll carve the wood for a babybed
Come live with me and be my love share my bread and wine
Be part of me the heart of be mine

I'll try to do my best for you I promise you
I'll laugh with you I'll cry with you my whole life through
Come live with me and be my love share my bread and wine
Be part of me the heart of be mine

I'LL PAINT YOU A SONG

(Mac Davis) « © '73 Ensign Music, BMI »
I'm just a country boy as little I can offer you
Just rhymes and melodies are all I have to give
But I've made friends with lines and I may comfort you
If you just come with me I'll show you how to live
I'll sing you a morning with laughing bluebirds
I'll sing you a fairytale full of ribbons and crape paper words
I'll sing you a rainbow you can keep for your own
I'll sing you a morning I'll paint you a song

I look inside your eyes and find a little girl
Whose dreams have turned to sand somewhere along her way
But if you'll close your eyes and step inside my world
I'll take you by the hand and we'll find a brand new day
I'll sing you a mellow with marsh mellow shies
I'll sing you a puppy dog with a pink tongue and big loving eyes
I'll sing you a sunset that flows all night long
I'll sing you a meadow I'll paint you a song
Won't you come along

HOW WOULD I

(Yvonne Silver) « © '73 Embassy Music, BMI »
I'm glad that you'll forgive me all the times I am wrong
Yes I don't know what in the world I do and someone else came along for you
You made a stronger stuff than I so I know that you'd survive
There's something cause I love to end but darling how would I

How would I live here in this big world all alone without you
With no one to care for me the way that you do
What would I do with all this love I have to give to only you
How would I live with myself without you
[ guitar ] It don't even seem fair for you to have such power over me
But I had nothing to do with the fact that you are the reason I am me
So darlin' let me apologize I'm puttin' all the resposibility on you
But if someone took your love from me well they have to take me too

How would I live here in this big world...
Now how would I live with myself without you

DAISY A DAY

(Jud Strunk) « © '72 Seven High Music, ASCAP »
He remembers the first time he met her
He remembers the first thing she said
He remembers the first time he held her
And the night that she came to his bed
He remembers her sweet way of saying
Honey has something gone wrong
He remembers the fun and the teasin'
And the reason he wrote her this song

I'll give you a daisy a day dear
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away

They would walk down the street in the evening
And for years I would see them go by
And their love that was more than the clothes that they wore
Would be seen in the gleam of their eyes
As a kid they would take me for candy
And I'd love to go tagging along
He hold hands while as we walked to the corner
And the old man would sing her his song

I'll give you a daisy a day dear...

Now he walks down the street in the evening
And he stops by the old candy store
And I somehow believe he's believing
He's holding her hand like before
For he feels all her love walking with him
And he smiles at the things she might say
Then the old man walks up to the hilltop
And he gives her a daisy a day

I'll give you a daisy a day dear..

WHY ME

(Kris Kristofferson) « © '72 Resaca Music, BMI »
(Now that I know that I've needed you so
Help me Jesus my soul's in your hand)
Why me Lord what I have ever done to deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord what did I ever do that was worth loving you
Or the kindness you've shown

Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed you so
Help me Jesus my soul's in your hand

Try me Lord if you think there's a way I can try to repay
All I've taken from you
Maybe Lord I can show someone else what I've been through myself
On my way back to you

Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so...
Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so...
Jesus my soul's in your hand

DADDY DON'T YOU WALK SO FAST

(Peter Callander - Geoff Stephens) « © '70 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
The love between the two of us was dying
And it got so bad I knew I had to leave
But halfway down that driverway when I turned around I saw
My little daughter running after me

Crying daddy won't you walk so fast daddy won't you walk so fast
Daddy slow down some cause you're making me run
Daddy won't you walk so fast

It broke my heart to tell my little daughter
That her daddy had to run and catch a plane
She had no way of knowing I was leaving home for good
And I turned around there was again crying

Crying daddy won't you walk so fast...

If only for the sake of my baby
I had to turn back home right there and then
And try to start a new life with the mother of my child
I couldn't bear to hear those words again

She cries daddy won't you walk so fast...
Daddy won't you walk so fast...

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN LOVE AND TOMORROW

(Bud Reneau - Thomas Lazaros) « © '73 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
You gave your love completely and warmed my life so cold
But she still lives between us and our stories be told
Today she thinks I love her but tomorrow she'll be through
And somewhere between love and tomorrow she'll have to know about you

We vowed us love forever and never be untrue
But time can change and reaarrange your world from dreams to truth
But then you came to love and made the sunshine through
And somewhere between love and tomorrow she'll have to know about you

It's sad for love had dyin' now after all the love we knew
But somewhere between love and tomorrow I fell in love with you

LONESOMEST LONESOME

(Mac Davis) « © '70 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Well I scorched your favorite pan this mornin' tryin' to make some pancakes
Spilled the grease and had to stop and mop the floor
Sat there like a little baby cryin' in my cornflakes
I don't think I can take it anymore
Baby come home this is the lonesomest lonesome I've ever known

Late last night I woke up trembling with my arms wrapped round your pillow
And a lump as big as Texas in my throat
Sat there in the dark and played my guitar till the sun came up
And wrote the saddest song I ever wrote
Baby come home this is the lonesomest lonesome I've ever known

The lonesomest lonesome oh the saddest sad the loneliest I've ever been alone
You were the best thing this poor boy ever had now you're gone

Well tonight I'm gonna get down on my knees and say a prayer
For the first time since I can't remember when
And maybe if I'm lucky when I wake up in the morning
You'll be soft and warm beside me once again
Baby come home this is the lonesomest lonesome
Lonesomest lonesome I've ever known
Lonesomest lonesome lonesomest lonesome
Lonesomest lonesome lonesomest lonesome

NOBODY WINS

(Kris Kristofferson) « © '73 Resaca Music, BMI »
It's over nobody wins

Well it doesn't matter who's right or wrong
We've been hurting each other for much too long
And it's too late to try to save what might have been
It's over nobody wins

Make believing in forever is just a line
And it seems a little sadder each time we try
Cause it's a shame to make the same mistakes again and again
It's over nobody wins

We've gone too far too long too far apart
The loving was easy it's the living that's hard
For there's no need to stay to see the way it ends
It's over nobody wins (nobody wins) **********

SOFT RAIN

(Ray Price) « © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Soft rain was falling when you said goodbye
Thunder and lightning filled my heart inside
A love born in heaven had suddenly died
And the soft rain was teardrops for the angels all cried

If love can be perfect ours must have been
But perfection is always destroyed by men
The rain whispered softly a true love just died
And the soft rain was teardrops for the angels all cried

The rain started falling when you said goodbye
And lightning came crashing from out of the sky
The sky that was bright blue turned slowly to grey
And the angels cried with me as you walked away

If love can be perfect ours must have been...

SOUL SONG

(Billy Sherrill - Norro Wilson - George Richey) « © '72 Algee Music, BMI / Al Gallico Music, BMI »
You're my soul song my everything-that-I-do song
Pick-me-up-when-I'm-blue song that's why I sing all the time
You're my soul song that's why I call you my solid-gold song
Nothing in the world could ever go wrong as long as you are mine

Never in the world have I seen anybody like you in all my time
You give me that feel good feelin' through and through and it's so fine
I'm up with the sun cause I don't wanna waste it
I love you so much I can almost taste it
I can sit still when I look up and see you coming I start humming hmm

You're my soul song my keep-me-safe-from-all-harm song
My shelter-from-all-harm song that's why I sing all the time
You're my soul song my keep-me-warm-when-I'm-cold song
Nothing in the world could ever go wrong as long as you are mine

You're my soul song my everything-that-I-do song
My pick-me-up-when-I'm-blue song that's why I sing all the time
You're my soul song that's why I call you my real long-gone song
Nothing in the world could ever go wrong as long as you are mine
