FADED LOVE
(Bob Wills - John Wills)
« © '51 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
As I look at the letters that you wrote to me
It's you that I am thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so dear
I remember our faded love
I miss you darling more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat I still think of you
And remember our faded love
As I think of the past and all the pleasures we've had
As I watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye
I remember our faded love
I miss you darling more and more every day...
And remember our faded love

I'LL SAIL MY SHIP ALONE
(Lois Mann - Henry Bernard - Murray Burns)
« © '57 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
We've been sweethearts for so long but now you say we're through
The love we shared is now a memory
I had built a ship of dreams and planned them all for you
But now I guess what is to be will be
So I'll sail my ship alone with all the dreams I own
Drifting out across the ocean blue
Yes I'll sail my ship alone though all the sails are torn
And when it starts to sink then I'll blame you
[ strings ]
Now I gave a message to the wind to take back home to you
Hoping you would hear my SOS
I thought that you would come back home my darling if you knew
How much my aching heart was in distress
Well I'll sail my ship alone with all the dreams I own...

WHEN YOU NEED A LAUGH
(Hank Cochran)
« © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You can't imagine how it hurts me to have you treat me like you do
Knowing that my love is just a joke to you
But I'll take it just to see you and laugh as teardrops fall
So when you need a laugh give me a call
Everybody says I'm crazy to let you treat me this way
But I can't explain so what else can I say
At least I'm on your mind when you're laughing somehow that breaks the fall
So when you need a laugh give me a call
I'd gladly trade the laugh you get for the making fun of me
To be around the one I love and need so desperately
So even if the laugh's on me I don't mind at all
So when you need a laugh give me a call
So when you need a laugh give me a call

CRAZY ARMS
(Ralph Mooney - Chuck Seals)
« © '56 Tree Publishing, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Blue's not the world for the way that I feel
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This is no treasured dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
Please take the treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new...

ALWAYS
(Irving Berlin)
« © '25 Irving Berlin, ASCAP »
(Always always always)
I'll be loving you always with a love that's true always
When the things you've planned need a helping hand
I will understand always always
Days may not be fair always that's when I'll be there always
Not for just an hour not for just a day
Not for just a year but always
Days may not be fair always...

WHEN I GET THRU WITH YOU (YOU'LL LOVE ME TRUE)
(Harlan Howard)
« © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You think you love Sue but when I get thru with you
You won't ever look at Sue again
I'm gonna be so good to you I'm gonna love you my whole life thru
Pretty soon you'll feel the same you won't even know her name
I'll give you kisses that she can't beat I'll treat you so nice and sweet
When I get thru with you you'll love me true not Sue
When I get thru with you you'll love me true
I'm gonna treat you sweet and kind I'll drive her right outta your mind
And you won't know her if you meet walk right by her on the street
Because I want you and need you so poor Susie will have to go
When I get thru with you you'll love me true not Sue
When I get thru with you you'll love me true
[ guitar ]
I'm gonna be so good to you...
When I get thru with you you'll love me true

BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY
(Bill Monroe)
« © '46 Peer International, BMI / Bill Monroe Music, BMI »
I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
It was on the moonlight night stars shining bright
Whispered from on high love's said goodbye
I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining...
It was on the moonlight night stars shining bright...
Left me blue left me blue left me blue

SOMEDAY (YOU'LL WANT ME TO WANT YOU)
(Jimmy Hodges)
« © '54 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody new
You expect me to be true and keep on loving you
Though I am feeling blue you think I can't forget you
Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I am strong for somebody else
And although you don't want me now I'll get along somehow
And then I won't want you
I know that someday you're gonna want me to want you
When I am strong for somebody else
And although you don't want me now I'm gonna get along somehow
And then I won't want you I won't want you
And then I won't want you

WHO CAN I COUNT ON
(Sammy Masters)
« © '62 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Who can I count on if I can't count on you
I never counted on you making me blue
They say you're running round with somebody new
Who can I count on if I can't count on you
I thought I held the precious key to heaven
Your love was sweet and gentle at the start
But now I feel that I can't go on living
If living means that we must live apart
Who can I count on if I can't count on you
There goes my happiness and here comes the blues
I can't convince myself that we're really through
Who can I count on if I can't count on you
The door to happiness was almost opened
Just one more step or two and I'd be in
And all at once the vows you made were broken
The door to happiness was closed again
Who can I count on if I can't count on you...
Who can I count on who can I count on
Who can I count on if I can't count on you

YOU TOOK HIM OFF MY HANDS
(Harlan Howard - Wynn Stewart - Skeets McDonald)
« © '56 Central Songs, BMI »
You took him off my hands when you've stepped in
You changed everything we're not even friends
Don't leave the job half done leave nothing behind
You took hin off my hands now please take him off my mind
Please take his photograph engraved on my heart so blue
And take all his memories he now belongs to you
Don't leave the job half done leave nothing behind
You took him off my hands now please take him off my mind
Please take his photograph...
You took him off my hands now please take him off my mind

YOUR KINDA LOVE
(Alex Zanetis - Roy Drusky)
« © '62 Attain Music, BMI »
You say you love me then you treat me like a stranger
I don't understand your kind of love
You say you need me and that makes it even stranger
No I don't understand your kind of love
If you can't be all mine then why am I all yours
I wonder where a heart draws the line
I try not to see you but you're a great arranger
No I don't understand your kind of love
[ strings ]
If you can't be all mine...
No I don't understand your kind of love

DOES YOUR HEART BEAT FOR ME
(Russ Morgan - Arnold Johnson - Mitchell Paris)
« © '63 Mills Music, ASCAP / Morgan Manor Music, ASCAP »
Though we said goodbye when the moon was high
Does your heart beat for me
I wonder if I still linger in your memory
When you hear my name is the thrill the same
As it once used to be
When you're lonesome my sweetheart
Does your heart beat for me
(When you hear my name) ear my name
(Is the thrill the same) thrill the same
As it once used to be
When you're lonesome my sweetheart
Does your heart beat for me
