TAKE ME BACK

(Teddy Randazzo)
« © '65 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Take me back I'm begging please take me back I'm on my knees
For you to scold me hurt me hold me darling take me back

When you belonged to me I had a jelous mind
Too late I've learned that you were not the cheatin' kind

Take me back...

My jealous eyes have learned to take a look or two
They were too blind to see that I was losing you

Take me back...

They say you live and learn and though I've tried before
I promise never to be jealous anymore

Take me back...

HERE COMES MY BABY BACK AGAIN

(Dottie West - Bill West)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Here comes more tears to cry here comes more heartaches by
Here comes my baby back again
Here comes more misery here comes old memory
Here comes my baby back again

My arms are open wide to let more hurt inside
Here comes my baby back again
She's sorry once again once more I'll understand

Here comes my baby back again
[ piano - steel ] My arms are open wide...

FROM WARM TO COOL

(Gene Dobbins)
« © '66 Shelby Singleton Music, BMI »
Say something say something don't keep me in the dark
What happened what happened what made us drift apart
Why did I lose the only love I'll ever know
What made you go from warm to cool to cold
What caused it what caused it oh how I wish I knew
Was it something was it something that I did or didn't do
What happened to the only love I'll know
What made you go from warm to cool to cold
What did I do what did I say to make you hurt me so
If you found yourself a new love I've got a right to know
I'm helpless so helpless as I stand and watch you go
What made you go from warm to cool to cold
What made you go from warm to cool to cold

LONELY THING CALLED ME

(Phil Parr - Herby Treece)
« © '65 Nandon Music, BMI / Quinlan Music, BMI »
My heart is yours I just use it to love you
But without you it's no good to me
So don't ever leave me for this heart would be
Just a part of the lonely thing called me

Others may tempt you and tell you they care
But you'll just find sorrow in a secret love affair
My life is yours but without you it would be
Just a part of the lonely thing called me
[ fiddle - steel ] My arms are yours I just use them to hold you
But they just can't hold a memory
So don't ever leave me for these arms would be
Just a part of the lonely thing called me

Others may tempt you...

GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME

(Curly Putman)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
(It's so good to touch the green green grass of home)
The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa
And down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to meet me arms areaching smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me to these grey walls that surround me
And I realize that I've just been dreaming
For there's a guard and there's the sad old padre arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home

THING CALLED SADNESS

(Harlan Howard)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
It's been here since you've been gone it's been hanging round too long
A thing called sadness not much of a friend when you walked out it walked in

In every chair where I sit down it follows me all over town
A thing called sadness not much of a friend when you walked out it walked in

What in the world am I gonna do this old friend can't take the place of you
It only brings back mem'ries of you and things that we used to do

In every chair where I sit...

CRYSTAL CHANDELIERS

(Ted Harris)
« © '65 Plainspoken Music, ASCAP »
Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall
The marble statuets are standing stately in the hall
But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud help you dry your tears
When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers

I never did fit in too well with folks you knew
It was plain to see that the likes of me didn't fit with you
So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do
And turned away from the love I offered you

Oh the crystal chandeliers...

I see your picture in the news most every day
You're the chosen girl of the social world so the stories say
But a paper smile only lasts a while then it fades away
And the love we knew will come home to you some day

Oh the crystal chandeliers...

FOUR STRONG WINDS

(Ian Tyson)
« © '63 WB Music, ASCAP »
Four strong winds that blow lonely seven seas that run high
All these things that won't change come what may
But my good times are all gone and I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

I may go out to Alberta weather's good there in the fall
Got some friends that I could go to workin' for
Still I wish you'd change your mind if I asked you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times or more
[ steel ] If I get there before the snow flies and things are going good
You could join me if I'd sent you down the fare
But if you'll wait until it's winter it would do no good
Oh the winds sure can blow cold way out there

Four strong winds that blow lonely...

MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY

(Hank Cochran)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Make the world go away and get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to say and make the world go away

Do you remember when you loved me before the world took me astray
If you do then forgive me and make the world go away
Make the world go away...

I'm sorry if I hurt you I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to and make the world go away

Make the world go away...
Say and make the world go away

AIN'T THAT JUST LIKE A FOOL

(Jerry Reed Hubbard)
« © '66 ATV Songs, BMI »
Ain't that just like a fool ain't that just like a fool
To love somebody when they don't love you ain't that just like a fool

Now I keep tellin' myself that you ain't worth this pain
I ought to find somebody else and start all over again
Cause all you've ever done is cause of lot of misery
But still you're the only one there'll never be another for me

Ain't that just like a fool...
[ whsitle ] Well I couldn't count the times you've lied and been untrue
Nobody but a fool would take what I've been takin' from you
But time and time again I've walked out the door
But you know that don't mean a thing I keep a comin' back for more

Ain't that just like a fool...
Ain't that just like a fool...

LIFE'S GONE AND SLIPPED AWAY

(Webb Pierce - Max Powell - Lucky Moeller)
« © '66 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Funny how life can slip away before you know what's happened it's gone
You always think there'll be another day
But before you know it life's gone and slipped away
Ask a lonely man whose hair is silvery grey
If he can count the hearts he's broken in his days
I'll bet he'll bow his head and softly say
Son before you know it life's gone and slipped away
I know a lady who lived her life at play
And I remember when she was so young and gay
But now alone she cries for yesterdays
Before she knew it life has gone and slipped away
Yes before you know it life has gone and slipped away
