KEEP BALTIMORE BEAUTIFUL

(Ronny Light)
« © '68 Ronny Light Music, BMI »
How could you leave me all alone to weep my life away
How could you go you know this town just wouldn't be the same

Keep Baltimore beautiful stay here by my side
Keep Baltimore beautiful it wouldn't look so pretty if I cry

The city looks like someone took the sunshine out of town
Can't you see me and Baltimore are glad when you're around

Keep Baltimore beautiful...
Keep Baltimore beautiful...
Keep Baltimore beautiful...

COUNTRY GIRL

(Red Lane - Dottie West)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I was born a country girl
I will die a country girl
My world is made of blue skies and sunshine
Greenfields and butterflies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl

Birds sing good morning country girl
I sleep to the sounds of a whippoorwill
My day is made with puppys and kittens
Meadows and daisies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl

Running over hills playing in the woods free breezes blowing
Honeybeeses warming blackbirds a flying wonder where they're going
Picking stick-me-tights off my gingham dress darkness is falling
Fire wood to carry eggs to gather in supper's ready mother's calling

I was born a country girl
I will die a country girl
My world is made of blue skies and sunshine
Greenfields and butterflies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl
I'm so glad I'm a country girl

LITTLE ARROWS

(Albert Hammond - Mike Hazlewood)
« © '68 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
There's a boy a little boy shooting arrows in the blue
And he's aiming them at someone but the question is at who
Is it me or is it you it's hard to tell until you're hit
But you'll know it when they hit you cause they hurt a little bit

Here they come pouring out of the blue
Little arrows for me and for you
You're falling in love again falling in love again
Little arrows in your clothing little arrows in your hair
When you're in love you'll find those little arrows everywhere
Little arrows that will hit you once and hit you once again
Little arrows that hit everybody every now and then
Wow oh oh the pain

Some folk a run and others hide but there is nothing they can do
And some folk put on amour but the arrows go straight through
So you see there's no escape so why not face it and admit
That you love those little arrows when they hurt a little bit

Here they come pouring out...
Here they come pouring out...

THEY DON'T MAKE LOVE LIKE THEY USED TO

(Red Lane)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
They just don't make love like they used to
They stone a heart so warm and true
It seems to fall apart no matter what we do
They just don't make love like they used to

Love just don't hold on like it used to
It dies before it's halfway through
It seems to fall apart no matter what we do
They just don't make love like they used to
I remember when I loved you meant all the world
[ strings ] It seems to fall apart no matter what we do...
I remember when I loved you meant all the world

BROOMSTICK COWBOY

(Jean Wells)
« © '69 Clyde Otis Music, BMI »
You're no longer my broomstick cowboy riding the make believe trail
And all my girlish tricks they used to work somehow they now seem to fail
Why couldn't time just slow up why do we have to grow up so soon

Gone are the days of my broomstick cowboy roping your imaginary steers
It seem just like only yesterday you brushed away my first tears
Now you shy away from my touch as time change just that much so soon

Straddling fences deep around corners playing
Bang bang shoot 'em up hiding in the hay
Time is a thief and a bad old meaner stealing all our games away

I thought you'd always be my broomstick cowboy you'd always be my very own
It's funny how time just seems to slip away you don't miss it till it's all gone
Oh how tall you stay in you've grown into a man so soon
Oh how tall you stay in you've grown into a man so soon

BABY SWEET BABY

(Skeeter Davis)
« © '68 High Harmony Music, BMI »
Without you my life is so empty
I'm sad and I'm blue as can be
Just a little sad girl in a big lonely world
Without you there's no love for me

Baby sweet baby I love you so oh why did you go
Baby sweet baby baby please come back to me
[ guitar ] We had a quarrel and you left me
And I've cried ever since you've been gone
Come on home like you should and I'll love you so good
For without you I just can't go on

Baby sweet baby...

HOLD ME TIGHT

(Johnny Nash)
« © '68 Nashco Music, ASCAP »
I don't want to hear it no more fussin' and a fightin'
Baby hold me tight
Let's let bygones be bygones let's think about tomorrow boy
Our future's bright

I know I was wrong but I was just a fool too blind to see
You were the only boy for me
Ah but now I see the light and everything's gonna be alright
Baby hold me tight

Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa...
I know I was wrong...

You know I love you ooh you know I need you
I don't mean maybe you will always be my baby

Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa...

ANGEL OF THE MORNING

(Chip Taylor)
« © '67 Blackwood Music, BMI »
There'll be no strings to bind your hands not if my love can't bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand for it was I who chose to start
I see no reason to take me home I'm old enough to face the dawn

Just call me angel of the morning angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby
Just call me angel of the morning angel
Then slowly turn away from me

Maybe the sun's light will be dim and it won't matter anyhow
If morning echo says we've sinned well it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night I won't be blinded by the light

Just call me angel of the morning angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby
Just call me angel of the morning angel
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the days of the years

Baby baby just call me angel of the morning angel...

I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER

(Hal David - Burt Bacharach)
« © '68 Casa David, ASCAP / New Hidden Valley Music, ASCAP »
The moment I wake up before I put on my makeup
I say a little pray for you
For combin' my hair now and wonder what dress to wear now
I say a little pray for you

Forever forever to stay in my heart
And I will love you forever and ever we never would part
Why do I love you together together that's how we must be
But to love you would only mean heartbreak for me

I run from the past dear for riding I think of us dear
I say a little pray for you
How work I just take time and after my coffee break time
I say a little pray for you

Forever forever to stay in my heart...
[ steel ] I say a little pray for you
[ steel ] I say a little pray for you
Forever forever to stay in my heart...
Darlin' don't leave me for me there's no one but you please love me too
Answer my prayer

BORN TO LOVE YOU

(Cindy Walker)
« © '68 Shadaroba Songs, BMI »
Born to love you born to love you
Born to love you till I die

My life was empty so blue and alone
Then you've put your hand in mine and I knew why I was born

Born to love you born to love you
Born to share your smiles and tears
Born to be near if you need me dear
Born to love you till I die

I used to wonder what life held in store
Then you held me in your arms and now I wonder no more

Born to love you born to love you...

LOVE LOVE LOVE

(Skeeter Davis)
« © '68 High Harmony Music, BMI »
I gotta have love love love love more than anything in this world
Just give me love love love love lovin' you have one happy girl

No I don't need no fancy clothes and pretty diamond rings
No fur coat no man's dough I don't need none of those things
I don't want a great big mansion and care yacht on wide sea
A little house for two and me and you and love is all I need

I gotta have love love love love...
[ strings ] I gotta have love love love love...

Now some girls find material things to build their queensdom homes
But love will always be around when all these things are gone
So give me love and heart and flowers and dreams then can come true
Keep me by your side and I'll be satisfied cause I know live is you

I gotta have love love love love...

CLOSEST THING TO LOVE (I'VE EVER SEEN)

(Ronny Light)
« © '68 High Harmony Music, BMI »
You never give me all the love a woman craves
Cause there's a part of youth you seem to want to save
I must admit you're not the man of my dreams
But you're the closest thing to love I've ever seen

You're not the kind of man I always hoped to find
But when I'm in your arms I never really mind
Cause there's a feeling that has taken hold of me
And it's the closest thing to love I've ever seen

Why should I go looking for somebody new
The closest thing to love I've seen is you

I'd waited for your touch to end this burning fire
But your love always leaves a lot to be desired
Yes there can never be enough of you for me
Cause you're the closest thing to love I've ever seen
