YESTERDAY'S GONE
(Chad Stuart - Wendy Kidd)
« © '64 Unart Catalog, BMI »
I love you all the summer through I thought I found my dream with you
For me you were the one that was yeasterday and yesterday's gone
We walked together hand in hand cross miles and miles of golden strand
But now it's over and done that was yeasterday and yesterday's gone
We had such happiness together I can't believe it's gone forever
Wait till summer comes again I hope that you'll remember when
Our love had just begun I loved you yeasterday and yesterday's gone
We had such happiness together...

LONELY STREET
(Carl Belew - W.S. Stevenson - Kenny Sowder)

(Where's this place called Lonely Street)
I'm looking for that Lonely Street I've got a sad sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep where's this place called Lonely Street
A place where there's just loneliness where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet where's this place called Lonely Street
(Perhaps upon this Lonely Street) there's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams watch an old love die
If I could find that Lonely Street where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where lights are dim and lovers weak where's this place called Lonely Street
Where's this place called Lonely Street

IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED
(Bill Anderson)
« © '64 Linesider Production, BMI »
I just read the saddest letter and before I cry I'd better
Let you know that I won't stand in your way
I'm your old love he's your new love but if you're sure it's true love
I'll bow out gracefuly and simply say
It was fun while it lasted fun while it lasted ours was a special sort of love
It was fun while it lasted fun while it lasted but it just didn't last long enough
[ guitar ]
I can't say goodbye with laughter but I'll promise ever after
When I'll think of you my lonely lips will smile
I'll be all alone tomorrow but there won't be any sorrow
Just a happy thought you love me for a mile
It was fun while it lasted...

TENDER YEARS
(Darrell Edwards)
« © '61 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
You keep saying you love him I believe that it's true
And it just doesn't matter how much I love you
But in time your'll understand dear when you shed a tear
Then you'll know you were living in your tender years
In your eyes there's a love light that shines just for him
But how long will it stay there will that love light grow dim
You can just see the happiness you can't see the tears
It's because you're living in your tender years
[ guitar ]
So if I can't be your first love I'll wait and be your last
I'll be somewhere in your future to help you forget the past
And you'll know that I love you with the love that's sincere
I'll wait till you're through living in your tender years
And you'll know that I love you with the love that's sincere
Cause I'll wait till you're through living in your tender years

END OF THE WORLD
(Arthur Kent - Sylvia Dee)
« © '62 Edward Proffitt Music, ASCAP / Music Sales, ASCAP »
Why does the sun go on shining why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world for you don't love me anymore
Why do the birds go on singing why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world it ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand no I can't understand how life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world it ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know it's the end of the world it ended when you said goodbye

BEFORE I LOST YOU
(Jack Green - Clay Allen)
« © '64 Careers Music, BMI »
I hear your new love sends you pretty something different each day
And he never forgets to call whenever he's away
He sends you candy and flowers tied in ribbons of blue
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you
He takes you dancing out with the crowd
And when you walk beside him he looks so proud
He does thoughtful little things that I didn't do
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you
I was afraid if you looked at someone else
You'd leave me for him and I'd be by myself
Jealousy made me blind too late I know that it's true
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you
Jealousy made me blind...

YESTERDAY
(Carl Belew - Clyde Pitts)
« © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Yesterday I hurt you and I didn't even try
A few careless words brought tears to your eyes
Three things I take back if I could have my way
Those spoken words your fallen tears and yesterday
If saying that I'm sorry could make your heart forget
I know I wouldn't have all these mem'ries to regret
My past that was my future I'd like to throw away
Those spoken words your fallen tears and yesterday
[ piano ]
If saying that I'm sorry...
Those spoken words your fallen tears and yesterday

BURNING MEMORIES
(Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker)
« © '63 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Tonight I'm burning old love letters photographs and memories of you
Hoping somehow I'll feel better and when the smoke is gone I won't want you
(Burning mem'ries) teardrops fall while I am
(Burning mem'ries) burning all those memories of you that I can't lose
My heart to you no longer matters and you know I can't live on memories
Into the fire go dreams you've shattered
And when the smoke is gone then I'll be free
(Burning mem'ries) teardrops fall while I am
(Burning mem'ries) burning all those memories of you that I can't lose

OUR LAST NIGHT TOGETHER
(Dave Rich)
« © '64 Golden West Melodies, BMI »
I know it shouldn't be like this just a moment ago we kissed
Now you're gone and my heart's a flame with a fire that I can't tame
Goodnight goodbye forever this is our last night together
[ steel ]
Well when I'd be ten years from now trying to forget somehow
But it's no use I'll never change and forever these words will refrain
Goodnight goodbye forever oh this is our last night together

TOGETHER AGAIN
(Buck Owens)
« © '63 Central Songs, BMI »
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 the grey skies are gone you're back in my arms right where you belong
The love that I knew is living again and nothing else matters we're together again

(I'D BE A) LEGEND IN MY TIME
(Don Gibson)
« © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If heartaches brought fame in love's crazy game I'd be a legend in my time
If they gave gold statues for tears and regrets I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards and there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
[ guitar ]
But they don't give awards...

TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER
(Arthur Kent - Ed Warren)
« © '61 Music Sales, ASCAP »
I supposed I ought to say congratulations
For you've won the only girl I'll ever love
But I've hurt too much to face the situation
So take good care of her take good care of her
Just to be around her was my greatest pleasure
She was everything my future held in store
So remember when you take my only treasure
Please take good care of her take good care of her
I must accepted she loves you more than me
So with my broken heart I'll bow out gracefuly
Please don't send me any wedding invitations
For I couldn't bear to see her there with you
If she's happy that will be my consolation
Just take good care of her take good care of her
