I MUST BE DOIN' SOMETHING RIGHT

(Ben Peters) « © '72 Ben Peters Music, BMI »
I can't give her all the things that I wish that I could give
And Lord she knows there's not much change in sight
She could walk out any time for a better way to live
So I guess I must be doin' somethin' right

If she wanted to be free she could have most ev'rything
With me she's only had an uphill fight
But if my love was a song it's the only one she'd sing
So I guess I must be doin' somethin' right

I must be doin' somethin' right when I hold her ev'ry night
When her arms are wrapped around me and we love with all our might
Then I give thanks to him above cause he blessed this house with love
So I know I must be doin' somethin' right
Yes I know I must be doin' somethin' right

SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS

(Curly Putman) « © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
When I remember Rose I remember neon lights
Checkered table cloth and a dress that fits so tight
Loud laughing and music in a noisy smoke filled room
But still my mind keeps coming right back there to you

You remind me of sunshine and roses baby
Rainbows and waterfalls
Warm arms around me so tight
You remind me of twilight and hay rides baby
Fireflies and moonlight
And you're soft and warm beside me baby ev'ry night

When I remember Ann I think of love like fire
Demanding arms phony charms and wild desire
Society's child a little wild and a heart that's never true
But still my mind keeps coming right back there to you

You remind me of sunshine and roses baby...

THIS TIME OF THE YEAR

(Clyde Otis - Brook Benton - Ben Goodwin) « © '72 Clyde Otis Music, BMI / Ensign Music, BMI / Vanessa Music, ASCAP »
The trees stand so silent they seem so forlorn
The branches are barren the leaves have all gone
Snowflakes are coming winter is near
I know I'll miss you most this time of the year

It was springtime when I found you with angel blue eyes
Love words were whispered neath clear sunny skies
Two hearts that were happy with love that was near
I'll always remember this time of the year
[ steel ] We loved through the summer two flowers did fade
You said before spring came you'd come back to stay
Now cold winds are blowin' and you're nowhere near
I know I miss you most this time of the year
I know I miss you most this time of the year

I'M NOT GOING HUNGRY

(Freddie Hart) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm not goin' hungry anymore
Your sweet love's what I've been hungry for
But since we locked our hearts together now my table's set forever
I'm not goin' hungry anymore

Happiness is where you are and that's all I need to know
I'm gonna plant the seed of love just sit back and watch it grow
I'm givin' lovin' ev'rything I've got I'm strikin' while the iron is hot
I'm not goin' hungry anymore
[ steel ] Happiness is where you are and that's all I need to know...
I'm not goin' hungry anymore

WITHOUT YOU BABY

(Roy Drusky) « © '71 Funny Farm Music, BMI »
The day you went away snow was on the way
First day of spring today without you baby
Now there's no memory of how it used to be
But it don't bother me without you baby

Now I'm finding love all around me
Love I never knew was here before
Tender things just seem to surround me
So I won't miss you anymore

You stayed away so long that now it's been too long
Cause that ol' feelin's gone that drove me crazy
But have no regret I haven't missed you yet
So many plums I'll get without you baby
Without you baby without you baby without you baby

THAT RAIN MAKIN' BABY OF MINE

(Dallas Frazier - Warren Robb) « © '72 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
I been leanin' on the wine to keep my crippled mind from fallin'
I've been tryin' to relieve the broken heart that she left behind
But I'm still not strong enough to resist the haunting mem'ry that keeps callin'
Has anybody seen that rain makin' baby of mine

I should have known by now that all she ever brings is rainy weather
And I know that she'll abuse my love for her like all the other times
But the rain can't stop a fool from swimmin' back and forth across the river
Has anybody seen that rain makin' baby of mine
[ guitar ] I should have known by now that all she ever brings is rainy weather...

LAST TIME I CALLED SOMEBODY DARLIN'

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens) « © '72 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
Thinkin' of you wonderin' who touches you the way I used to do
The last time I called somebody darlin'
Was the last time you held me close to you
Missin' those times wishin' that I had the heart to love somebody new
The last time I called somebody darlin'
Was the last time you held me close to you

I may be a fool but I still love you
I can't break the chains of yesterday
When I get close to callin' someone darlin'
My heart reminds my lips that I'm not free

Dreamin' alone still holdin' on
Even though there's nothin' left to lose
The last time I called somebody darlin'
Was the last time you held me close to you

ALWAYS YOU ALWAYS ME

(Roy Drusky) « © '72 Funny Farm Music, BMI »
Always you always me us together eternally
Never blue always true always me always you

We found a piece of heaven on the ground
And it's anchored on the rock of love that sound
So let this crazy world keep turnin' round
Searchin' for somethin' that we've already found

Always you always me us together eternally...
Always you always me us together eternally...

STRANGER IN MY PLACE

(Kenny Rogers - Kin Vassy) « © '71 Devon Music, BMI / Flea Show Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
I see the town where we were born I see the place we were raised
I see all the things you wanted that I never gave
I see sadness I see sorrow I see pain on your face
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

I can see where we quarreled I can see I was wrong
I can see where you might weaken when I wasn't strong
I see mem'ries of a love gone bad that time cannot erase
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

No one seems to know you quite like I do
No one knows the things that make you cry
And lookin' back it seems I never showed you
And now I lay alone and wonder why

I can see where you might grow tired of dreams that don't come true
I can see where I have fallen short of things I promised you
I can see through my tear filled eyes no love on your face
I must get used to seein' strangers in my place

NIGHT'S NOT OVER YET

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice) « © '72 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Love me now while you can and pretend you understand
So tonight won't be a thing that I'll regret
Tomorrow's not a friend for it brings the hurt again
So tell me the night's not over yet

If my fingers trace her likeness on your face
Don't let pride pull you away
Reach and touch the teardrops and though my cheeks are wet
Tell me the night's not over yet

For tonight just one time share the troubles on my mind
Hold me close and help me to forget
If you cry from the shame when I call you by her name
Just tell me the night's not over yet

In your arms I feel the warmth of love again
And tomorrow's no concern
I've still got a yesterday I'm tryin' to forget
So tell me the night's not over yet

When tomorrow comes we'll make believe we never met
But tell me the night's not over yet

RED RED WINE

(Neil Diamond) « © '66 Tallyrand Music, SESAC »
Red red wine go to my head
Make me forget that I still need her so
Red red wine it's up to you
All I can do I've done but mem'ries won't go
No mem'ries won't go

I'd have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong now I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red red wine stay close to me
Don't let me be alone it's tearin' apart
My blue blue heart

I'd have sworn that with time...
Red red wine stay close to me...
