MY ARMS ARE A HOUSE

(Jimmy Kennedy - Alex Alstone)
« © '57 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
My arms are a house I want you to live there
Come into my house for you have the key
My heart is the door that's waiting wide open
To welcome the love who shares it with me

We'll furnished with kisses and plans that come true
(Just think of the nursery in pink or in blue)
We'll make it secure with love and devotion
My arms are a house for no one but you
[ piano - mandolin ] We'll furnished with kisses...

MY LOVE

(Tony Hatch)
« © '65 Songs Of Universal, BMI / ATV Songs, BMI »
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world that can ever change our love

Something happened to my heart the day that I met you
Something that I never felt before
(You are always on my mind no matter what I do
And every day it seems I want you more)

Our love is warmer...
[ banjo ] Once I thought that love was meant for anyone else but me
Once I thought you'd never come my way
(Now it only goes to show how wrong we all can be
For now I have to tell you every day)

Our love is warmer...
Our love is warmer...

DEAR HEART

(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans - Henry Mancini)
« © '65 Northridge Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Dear heart I wish you were here to warm this night
(Dear heart seems like a year since you've been out of my sight)

A single room a table for one it's a lonesome town all right
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
(Dear heart I want you to know I'll leave your arms) never more

A single room a table for one...

LET IT BE ME

(Mike Curtis - Pierre Delanoe - Gilbert Becaud)
« © '57 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
I bless the day I found you I want to stay around you
And so I beg you let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one if you must cling to someone
Now and forever let it be me

Each time we meet love I find complete love
(Without your sweet sweet love what would life be)
So never leave me lonely tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
[ steel ] So never leave me lonely tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
And that you'll always let it be me

ABOVE AND BEYOND (THE CALL OF LOVE)

(Harlan Howard)
« © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI / Jat Music, BMI »
Well I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
Yes I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love's something that money can't buy

A poor boy's chances for pretty girl's glances are sometimes very few
But I've got no money if you'll be my honey here's what I'll offer you

Well I'll give you love...

Well we met by chance and I knew at a glance that I'd found my destiny
Now I want to carry you off and marry you if you will agree
Well I'll give you love...

TRUE LOVE

(Cole Porter)
« © '56 Chappell&Co, ASCAP »
I give to you and you give to me true love true love
(So on and on it will always be) true love true love

For you and I have a guardian angel on high with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me love forever true
[ guitar - steel ] For you and I have a guardian angel...

I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES WITH YOU

(Marge Barton - Freed McRae)
« © '66 Mimosa Publishing, BMI »
I'll take my chances with you now and forever with you
There may be times you hurt me as only you can do
And I'll take my chances with you
I'll do my dreaming with you dreaming together with you

There may be times it seems our dreams won't come true
But I'll take my chances with you
[ steel ] There may be times it seems...

ALONE WITH YOU

(Roy Drusky - Lester Vanadore - Faron Young)
« © '58 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
How I'd love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you
How I'd love to be alone with you
(What I'd give to have the power to read your mind one hour
How I'd love to be alone with you)
Just to be with you one night you and me alone
Kiss your lips and hold you tight have you for my own
This would be a joy unending (could be a real beginning)
How I'd love to be alone with you
[ guitar - steel ] How I'd love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you
How I'd love to be alone with you
(If I only knew for certain I'd cut out all my flirtin'
How I'd love to be alone with you)
Just to be with you one night you and me alone
Kiss your lips and hold you tight have you for my own
Won't you try to be my baby just for once and then well maybe
I could always be alone with you
How I'd love to be alone with you I could always be alone with you

TOGETHER AGAIN

(Buck Owens)
« © '63 Central Songs, BMI »
Together again (together again) our tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
(The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters) we're together again
[ steel ] (Together again) together again (the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms now where you belong)
The love that we knew is living again
And nothing else matters we're together again

TO EACH HIS OWN

(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans)
« © '46 Paramount Music, ASCAP »
A rose must remain with the sun and the rain or its lovely promise won't come true
To each his own to each his own and my own is you
(What good is a song if the words just don't belong
And a dream must be a dream for two)
No good alone to each his own and for me there's you
If a flame is to grow there must be a glow to open each door there's a key
(I need you I know I can't let you know your touch means too much to me)
Two lips must insit and two more to be kissed or they'll never know what love can do
To each his own I've found my own one and only you

THEN I'LL STOP LOVING YOU

(Jim Reeves)
« © '53 Unichappell Music, BMI »
If there's water in the desert sand out in the sea
If you were not an angel sweet as you could be
You could turn the night today make all my dreams come true
Say how far it is to heaven then I'll stop loving you

If the earth is up above us stars are down below
If there are daisies in the desert roses in the snow
If today can be tomorrow if old things can be new
If you can live without a heartbeat then I'll stop loving you

There's no daisies in the desert no roses in the snow
The earth is not above us the stars are not below
Today can't be tomorrow old things can't be new
I can't live without a heartbeat and I can't stop loving you

YOU ARE THE ONE

(Leon Payne)
« © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You are the one you're the one in my heart my darlin' my life's greatest thrill
You are the one in my heart and I know that I love you and I always will

I've had some sweethearts and dear so have you
(I've done some things that I know I shouldn't do)
We've tasted life both the bitter and the sweet
(It helped us to know love when we chanced to meet)

You are the one you're the one...
[ guitar - steel ] We paid with our future with tears from the past
(It helped us to know when we'd found love at last)
I didn't know what joy was still actin' blue
(I didn't know what love was till I met you)

You are the one you're the one...
