I'M GONNA LOVE YOU
(Baker Knight)
« © '76 Tuningfork Publishing, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
I'm gonna love you I'm gonna love you
Till the stars in the skies start flickering out above you
Girl I'm gonna love you I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna rock you in the cradle of a love so warm
And shelter you from every storm
That comes along and tries to cloud your sky
Trust in me cause I'll be standing by
I know you've had your share of ups and downs
And you feel just like you're in a circus running from the clowns
The times we live in make you wonder which way you should go
But if you take a chance on me girl I want you to know
I'm gonna love you I'm gonna love you
Till the stars in the skies start flickering out above you
Girl I'm gonna love you I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna rock you in the cradle of a love so deep
That you can close your eyes and sleep
Through the darkest night without a care
Ccount on me and baby I'll be there
I know you'd like to run and hide your face
Cause I guess it seems like all your dreams just never fall in place
It's hard to live on promisses that vanish in the night
But if you trust me just a little I can make it right make it right
I'm gonna love you I'm gonna love you
Till the stars in the skies start flickering out above you
I'm gonna love you...

DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN
(Bob McDill - Dickey Lee)
« © '75 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Yes the door is always open and the light's on in the hall
And you know that I'll be waiting when you finally come to call
Saw your picture in the paper and I see you've married good
And I know that he can give you all the things I never could
But I know that he won't give me what I need most of all
Well the door is always open and the light's on in the hall
Yes the door is always open...
When night falls on that mansion and you're lying in his bed
When he begs for your attention will you think of me instead
And when he reaches out to touch me with a face turned to the wall
Yes the door is always open and the light's on in the hall
Yes the door is always open...
Yes the door is always open...

WHOLE LOTTA THINGS TO SING ABOUT
(Ben Peters)
« © '76 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I got a whole lotta things to sing about I got a whole lotta things to say
Like I love you and I need you every night and day
I got a whole lotta things I wanna do I got a whole lotta dreams to dream
And I want you there beside me every step of the way
I was lonely as anyone could ever be
Till you came along and gave your love to me
Now that empty world that you just walked into
It's filled with sunshine and music and the song is you
I got a whole lotta things...
People wonder just what's happened to me
They say I'm not at all the way I used to be
They don't realize I've just begun to live
And I'm just wrapped up completely in all the love you give
And I got a whole lotta things...

QUEEN OF THE SILVER DOLLAR
(Shel Silverstein)
« © '72 Evil Eye Music, BMI »
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar she rules this smoky kingdom
And her sceptre is a wine glass and her barstool is her throne
Now the jesters they flock around her tryin' to win their favors
And see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home
She arrives with all her splendor each night at nine o'clock
And her chariot is the crosstown bus that stops right down the block
Now the old piano minstrel plays her song as she walks in
And the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar...
Now her royal dress is a satin it's shabby and it's torn
Her royal jewels're rhinestones her shoes are scuffed and worn
On the many a road she's been down and the places that she's seen
And they all look at her and say God save the Queen
Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar is not as naughty as she seems
She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams
There's a man who found her and brought her to this world
I'm the one who made the Queen of a simple country girl
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar...

I'VE BEEN SO WRONG FOR SO LONG
(Bud Reneau - Hal Bynum)
« © '73 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI / Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I've been so wrong for so long but I'm begging you to take me back tonight
Honey I know it's a surprise to see me
You feel surprised how much I've changed since you've been gone
And I know it's hard for me to tell you I've been so wrong for so long
I've been so wrong for so long I don't know if I've ever been right
I've been so wrong for so long but I'm begging you to take me back tonight
And honey too many times I've hurt your feelings
Because I wanted everything my way
But if too many teardrops have been falling
I'll make the sunhine again for you some day
I've been so wrong for so long...
I've been so wrong for so long...

FOOLS
(Johnny Duncan)
« © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Fools never learn you play with fire and you gonna get burn
You and I are fools we play with love so we gonna get burn
Fools that's what we are fools we've gone too far I know
But then love you come to me your eyes on fire you tempted me
Love knows no bounds beggar or king it'll bring you down
Fools find love somehow fools we can't stop now I know
But then love this I know fool I may be I can't let go
Love this I know fool I may be I can't let you go
Fool I may be I can't let you go

I'M LEAVIN' THE LEAVIN' TO YOU
(Jim Rushing - Bobby David)
« © '76 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
You left me with no hope on the short end of the road
So I'm leavin' the leavin' to you
Tonight may be the last I'll ever see you in my life
When the morning breaks my past mistakes will cut me like a knife
But to close the door and walk away is the one thing I can't do
So I'm leavin' the leavin' to you
I've done everything I could to try and keep you
But the writing on the wall tells me we're through
You left me with no hope on the short end of the road
So I'm leavin' the leavin' to you
[ ac.guitar ]
You're gonna leave me with a broken heart the one that time can't mend
And the mem'ry of the lover that was my dearest friend
Yes you leave me with all the nights of love I spent with you
So I'm leavin' the leavin' to you
I've done everything...
You left me with no hope...
