JODY AND THE KID

(Kris Kristofferson)
« © '68 Careers Music, BMI »
She would meet me in the morning on my way down to the river
Waitin' patient by the chinaberry tree
With her feet already dusty from the pathway to the levee
And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees
And I'd paid her no attention as she tagged along beside me
Trying hard to copy everything I did
But I couldn't keep from smiling when I'd hear somebody saying
Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid

Even after we grew older we could still be seen together
As we walked along the levee holding hands
For as surely as the seasons she was changing to a woman
And I'd lived enough to call myself a man
And she often lay beside me in the coolness of the evening
Till the morning sun was shining on my bed
And at times when she was sleeping I would smile when I'd remember
How they used to call us Jody and the kid
[ piano ] Now the world's a little older and the years have changed the river
Cause there's houses where they didn't used to be
And on Sundays I go walking down the pathway to the levee
With another little girl who follows me
And it makes the old folks smile to see her tag along beside me
Doin' little things the way her mama did
But it gets a little lonesome when I hear somebody saying
Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid

LET'S PUT OUR WORLD BACK TOGETHER

(Jimmy Peppers)
« © '68 Husky Music, BMI »
Let's put our world back together let's try along just one more time
Let's put our world back together without you in my world the sun don't shine

I've tried but I can't live my life without you
There's darkness in my world all the time
We had everything together then it just fell apart
I've lost my heart so please don't take my mind

Let's put our world back together...
Without you in my world the sun don't shine

BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX

(Jim Webb)
« © '67 Sosaha Music, BMI / Jonathan Three Music, BMI »
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hanging on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving
Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lounch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing off the wall that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping
She'll softly turn and call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go

WHEN THE SNOW IS ON THE ROSES

(Curry Kusic - Eddie Snyder - James Last)
« © '68 Miller Catalog, ASCAP »
Now the golden sun can see us kiss every summer day we'll love like this
When the snow is on the roses when the bluebird's flown away
In my arms we'll both remember all the love we share today

As we walk along the silvery shore vows we make will last forever more
When the snow is on the roses when the summer stars are gone
One more summer will be over but our love will still go on

When the snow is on the roses...
All the love we share today

YOUR LITTLE DEEDS

(Vance Bulla)
« © '68 Plainspoken Music, ASCAP »
It's your little deeds of kindness and your little words of love
It's all the many little things you do
It's your little deeds of kindness and your little words of love
That makes me wanna keep on loving you

Happiness I found is just a thing called love
And the love I found is just a thing called you
Cause loving is a thing that I see plenty of
In the little deeds of kindness that you do

It's your little deeds of kindness...

The only thing that's brighter in my morning sun
Is every morning's early thought of you
And as I count my blessings over one by one
I count the deeds of kindness that you do

It's your little deeds of kindness...
It's your little deeds of kindness...

YOU'D BETTER SIT DOWN KIDS

(Sonny Bono)
« © '68 Cotillion Music, BMI »
You'd better sit down kids I'll tell you why
You might not understand kids just give it a try
Now how should I put this I've got something to say
You're mother is staying but I'm going away
No we're not mad kids it's hard to say why
Your mother and I kids don't see eye to eye
Be sure you say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother ask
She's gonna need you boys to stay in line
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need your help
A whole lot more than she ever did before
No more fights over little things cause I won't be there to stop them anymore
[ guitar ] I know you don't want this well neither do we
But sometimes things happen that we can't forsee
So try to become kids and don't look so sad
Just cause I'm leaving I'll still be your dad
Just remember I love you and though I'm not here
Just call if you need me and I'll always be near
Well I have to go now so kiss me goodbye my eyes are just red kids I'm too big to cry

YOU'VE STILL GOT A PLACE IN MY HEART

(Leon Payne)
« © '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If the one you'd think is true ever turns his back on you
You've still got a place in my heart
If every road you take proves you made a big mistake
Baby you've still got a place in my heart
If I'm a fool to pray that you'll return some day
Well then I'll know a million fools that love has made that way
If the years should make you cry don't go on and live a lie
Baby you've still got a place in my heart
[ guitar ] If the years should make you cry...

WHEN I LOVED HER

(Kris Kristofferson)
« © '68 Careers Music, BMI »
Wello she didn't look as pretty as some others I have known
And she wasn't good at conversation when we were alone
But she had a way of making me believe that I belong
And it felt like coming home when I found her

Cause she seemed to be so proud of me just walking holding hands
And she didn't think that money was the measure of a man
And we seemed to fit together when I held her in my arms
And it left me feeling warm when I loved her
Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun
And she made what I was doing seem worthwhile
It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known
And it made me want to smile when I loved her

I know some of us were born to cast our fortunes to the winds
And I guess I'm bound to travel down a road that never ends
But I know I'll never look upon the likes of her again
And I'll never understand why I lost her

SHADOWS OF HER MIND

(Kris Kristofferson)
« © '68 Careers Music, BMI »
I met her sadly in the slowly falling rain
Crying softly in her loneliness and pain
Knowing no one needin' someone bad as me
And she told me as I held her trembling hand
Walking slowly how she'd never known a man
Living lonely in her cottage by the sea
When the morning came her tears had changed to laughter
And before the night her heart beat close to mine
And I thought as she lay sleeping of the secrets she was keeping
Hidden somewhere in the shadows of her mind
In the morning as I wakened with the dawn
Without warning I could feel that she was gone
Leaving nothing but her silence next to me
And lonely footprints that I followed in the sand
Walking slowly for I knew where they would end
Disappearing in the silence of the sea
And I sometimes hear the echoes of her laughter
As I search for what I know I'll never find
For the answer I was seeking was the secrets she's still keeping
Hidden somewhere in the shadows of her mind

THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE

(Jack Clement - Mitt Addington)
« © '67 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
This heart of mine belongs to you take care of it be kind
For I must go where you may lead the eyes of love are blind
I may not see the things that I should see the danger there might be in store
And I may do just what I shouldn't do because I'm looking through the eyes of love
It is true I know that eyes of love might dim the view for me
But eyes of love can see so much that other eyes don't see
A bluer sky the sparkle in your eyes all make me realize I'm yours
I've seen with you a world of dreams come true
Because I'm looking through the eyes of love
Because I'm looking through the eyes of love

YESTERDAY

(John Lennon - Paul McCartney)
« © '65 ATV Tunes, ASCAP »
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me oh yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away oh I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know...
