NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO WEEP

(Carolyn Penick - Skeeter Davis)
« © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
Now I lay me down to weep count my tears instead of sheep
Say my prayers turn out the light but I just lay and weep all night

Now I lay me down to cry pray the Lord that I might die
But each morning I awake and listen to my poor heart break

If only I could sleep at night I'd dream that you would hold me tight
But I can't dream and I can't sleep so I just lay me down to weep

Sleep won't come to crying eyes and my poor heart just can't realize
That now you're in another's keep so I'll just lay me down to weep

Sleep won't come to crying eyes...
I'll just lay me down to weep

GONNA GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU NOW

(Milton Kellem)
« © '52 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Uh huh hmm hmm gonna get along without you now
Uh huh hmm hmm gonna get along without you now

You told me I was the neatest thing
You even asked me to wear your ring
You ran around with every girl in town
You didn't even care if it got me down

Uh huh hmm hmm gonna get along without you now
Mhm mhm hmm hmm gonna get along without you now

Got along without you before I met you
Gonna get along without you now
Gonna find somebody who's twice as cute
Cause you didn't want me anyhow

You told everybody that we were friends
But this is where our friendship ends
Cause all that you said you change your tune
You haven't been around since way last June

Uh huh hmm hmm gonna get along without you now
Got along without you before I met you gonna get along without you now
So long bye honey goodbye my dear gonna get along without you now

Uh huh hmm hmm gonna get along without you now
Got along without you before I met you gonna get along without you now
So long bye honey goodbye my dear gonna get along without you now
Uh huh hmm hmm yes I am

DIDN'T I

(Dottie West)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Didn't I try hard enough to understand your way
Didn't I stay strong enought through all our stormy days
Like I'd be clinging to our little house so close were you and I
Then came the day you just walked away and I lost you didn't I

Didn't I kiss you often enough didn't I hold you tight
Didn't I say I love you each time we said goodnight

Darling please tell me what I didn't do
Cause I tried so hard to make you see
That above everything in this world
You were all that was meant for me
And you know I've thought I was all you wanted
In fact you've told me so
But I guess I failed somewhere along the way
But just where I failed I'd give my life to know

Didn't I kiss you often enough didn't I hold you tight
Didn't I say I love you each time we said goodnight
Like I'd be clinging to our little house so close were you and I
Then came the day you just walked away and I lost you didn't I

MY SWEET LOVING MAN

(Jimmy Duncan)
« © '64 JDA Music, BMI »
You don't have to be as strong as a mighty actor
And you don't have to hold the world in your hand
All you have to do to make your baby love you
Is just be yourself my sweet loving man

You don't have to be as handsome as Elvis Presley
You don't have to change what nature has planned
All you have to do to make your baby love you
Is just be yourself my very own sweet loving man

You don't have to be a rich millionaire
To win my heart completely
All you have to do is take me in your arms
Hold me and kiss me so sweetly

You don't have to be a knight in a shaning armor
You don't have to rule a kingdom in Spain
All you have to do is tell me that you love me
And you'll always be my very own sweet loving man

(Po po pou uh huh uh...)

You don't have to be as handsome as Elvis Presley...

My very own sweet loving man my very own sweet loving man
My very own sweet loving man

I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU

(Carole King - Gerry Goffin)
« © '64 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
(Doo doo do shubby dubby doo bub dow dow do dubby dooby
Shubby dubby doo bub dow dow do dubby dooby
Shubby dubby doo bub dow dow do dubby dooby
I can't stay mad at you)

You can make me cry you can break my heart
But I'll never say we're through
Even when I cry I can't stay mad at you

You can run around you can tell me lies
But there's nothing I can do
I'll never say goodbye cause I can't stay mad at you

I got mad at you last night
You were holding another girl tight
But when I thought of all your charms
I bounced back into your arms

One thing you'll know for sure I won't be the one
To fall in love with someone new
I'll love you till I die and I can't stay mad at you
[ strings ] I bounced right back into your arms

One thing you know for sure I won't be the one
To fall in love with someone new
I'll love you till I die and I can't stay mad at you
You got me where you want me

(Shubby dubby doo bub dow dow do dubby dooby
Shubby dubby doo bub dow dow do dubby dooby)
You got me where you want me

MY HAPPINESS

(Betty Peterson - Barney Bergantine)
« © '57 Happiness Music, ASCAP »
Evening shadows make me blue when each weary day is through
How I long to be with you my happiness

Everyday I reminisce dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss my happiness

A million years it seems have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again there'll be no blue memories then

Whether skies are grey or blue anyplace on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you my happiness

(Whether skies are grey or blue) whether skies are grey or blue
(Anyplace on earth will do) anyplace on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you my happiness

LET ME GET CLOSE TO YOU

(Carole King - Gerry Goffin)
« © '64 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
I know I never felt this way before
I can't remember I ever wanted anyone more
How can you turn me down when I need you the way that I do
Come on baby let me get close to you
Oh you won't be sorry

I'll do anything that you ask of me
I'll be the kind of girl you want me to be
So won't you let me be the someone you tell your troubles to
Come on baby let me get close to you

How long I'll never know I waited to tell you that I love you so
Now I have finally said it come on baby don't make regret it

It's not as if I'm asking for the world
All I want is just a chance to be your girl
So won't you find it in your heart to make all my dreams come true
Come on baby let me get close to you
[ piano ] Please find it in your heart to make all my dreams come true
Come on baby let me get close to you
I want to be close to you
Real close to you let me get close to you

ANOTHER YOU

(Johnny Tillotson - Lucille Cosenza)
« © '62 Ridge Music, BMI »
I know there'll never ever be another you

Just when I thought that you were mine alone
You told me there was someone new
Now it's so hard to think of finding someone else
I know there'll never ever be another you

I can't forget the moments that we shared
And all the happiness we knew
Now as I sit alone with all my memories
I know there'll never ever be another you

I know there'll never ever be lips as sweet as yours
I know there'll never ever be another you

I know it's hopeless to go on this way
But what is there for me to do
I've lost the only one that I have ever loved
I know there'll never ever be another
(Never ever be another)
Never ever be another
Never ever be another you

LADDER OF SUCCESS

(Keith Colley - Nancie Mantz)
« © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Nothing can stop him now no one can top him now
I guess I'll have to let him go
Up up up the ladder of success (up up up up)

Once he let me share his dreams
But now that they come true it seems
He doesn't want my love I guess look there goes my happiness
They're climbin' up up up the ladder of success
(The ladder of success)

Things are like he said they'd be
I thought his plans included me
He forgot his words of love fame is all he's thinking of
A going up up up up the ladder of success
(The ladder of success)

I liked him better in his white dungarees
When he was all mine with patches on his knees
(With patches on his knees)
When his name went up in lights
All I got were lonely nights
He doesn't want my love I guess look there goes my happiness
A goin' up up up up the ladder of success
(Climbin' up whoa whoa whoa whoa)

HE SAYS THE SAME THINGS TO ME

(Peter Udell - Gary Geld)
« © '64 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Shall I tell you what he said to you when he kissed you last night
I could tell it sigh for sigh and here's the reason why
He says the same things to me he says the same things to me

And shall I tell you what he said to you as he held you so tight
Let me tell you from the start I know it now by heart
He says the same things to me he says the same things to me

But I know how it must hurt you to find his love isn't real
And if your heart is breaking think how I must feel

And did he tell you there's no other girl that his only love is you
If he did there's no surprise that's just the way he lies
He says the same things to me he says the same things to me

ASK ME

(Betty Sue Perry)
« © '64 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Ask me to make a mountain small ask me to make a valley tall
Ask me ask anything at all but don't ask me to forget you
Don't ask me to forget about you

Ask me to stop the birds that fly ask me to make the flowers die
Ask me and anything I'll try but don't ask me to forget you
Don't ask me to forget about you

Ask me to turn the tie that binds
To stay the sun won't shine to end this life of mine
Never ask me to forget about you never ask me to forget about you

Ask me to stop the rivers flow ask me to dim the skies that glow
I'll try most anything you know but don't ask me to forget you
Don't ask me to forget about you
[ guitar ] Ask me to turn the tie that binds...
Never ask me to forget about you never ask me to forget about you

EASY TO LOVE (SO HARD TO GET)

(Carole King - Gerry Goffin)
« © '64 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
I recall what I said to myself the very first day we met
It's just a matter of time till I make him mine
And then I found to my regret
He was easy to love but so hard to get

All the girls are crazy for him and as if that ain't enough
I took a look in his little black book and the competition surelly stopped
He's easy to love but so hard to get

Now if at first you don't succeed
You know you got to try and try again
And if at first he don't follow your leave
You got to keep on going after him until you win

Don't you know you'll never love a guy who's easy to get
That wouldn't be much fun
There's never a guy a standing right by there's always got to be the one
Who's easy to love but so hard to get
[ guitar ] Yes he's easy to love but so hard to get
But I can't forget he'll be mine it's just a matter of time
