LOVIN' TOUCH

(Ronny Light - Skeeter Davis)
« © '74 High Harmony Music, BMI »
Baby's got that lovin' touch and I need his love so much
That soft warm lovin' touch comes so naturally
Baby's got that lovin' touch that sweet sweet lovin' touch
And I just can't get enough when he's lovin' me

When I'm low feelin' down he knows when to come around
He don't have to say a word
Cause I just heard through his fingers a beautiful song
And our love makes sweet music all night long

Baby's got that lovin' touch...
Oh I need his love so much baby's got that lovin' touch

NO NEVER

(Skeeter Davis)
« © '60 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
No never never has a girl loved a boy the way I love you
No never never has a heart beat with love so true and all for you no never

Never have two arms longed to hold someone
The way my two arms long to hold you
Never have two lips tasted kisses quite so thrilling
Never have two eyes beheld a wonder such as you
Now that I have you I'll never know a lonely day no never
Our love will last forever it can never fade away no never
[ piano - guitar ] Never have two arms longed to hold someone...
No never no never

MY LAST DATE WITH YOU

(Boudleaux Bryant - Floyd Cramer - Skeeter Davis)
« © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
One hour and I'll be needing you
I know you're gonna make me blue
My heart is trembling through and through
Cause I know very well I can tell I can tell
This will be my last date with you

Just can't believe that this could end
I know I'll never love again
You'll ask me to be just a friend
It's as plain as can be I can see I can see
This will be my last date with you
[ strings ] I know we had a quarrel that all sweethearts do
I gave my love to prove to you
That I will always love you and be true

I know you've met somebody new
You tell me you and I are through
My plans and dreams cannot come true
And when you say goodbye I know I will cry
Cause I'll know it's my last date with you

ONCE

(Skeeter Davis)
« © '72 High Harmony Music, BMI »
Once I walked in fields of clover
That was when you walked by my side
Then you left and love was over
The grass turned brown the clover died

Once I chase a pretty rainbow
Almost reached that pot of gold
But I could not find the treasure
Without your hand in mine to hold

Once I thought the world looked rosey
That's when I faced the world with you
Now it seems the color's changin'
From rosey red to lonely blue

Once I thought life was worth livin'
You made it all worthwhile somehow
Now you're gone and love's gone with you
Once I was living but not now

STAY AWHILE WITH ME

(Skeeter Davis - Linda Palmer)
« © '73 High Harmony Music, BMI »
Stay awhile with me I bet we could be happy
I won't ask for promises I know that you can't keep
We'll live and love from day to day won't worry about tomorrow
Make me smile stay with me awhile

I knew I had a friend the first time that I saw you
And I could tell that you knew you had found a friend in me
So now that we're together love let's don't fight this feelin'
Make me smile stay with me awhile

Stay with me awhile and if you find that you're not satisfied
There will be no strings to bind you if you wanna leave
But if you go you cannot say I lied and cried and tried to hold you
I'll just smile you stayed with me awhile

Stay with me awhile and if you find that you're not satisfied...

I'll smile stay with me awhile
Make me smile stay with me awhile
Want a smile come on and stay with me awhile

BABY GET THAT LEAVIN' OFF YOUR MIND

(Skeeter Davis)
« © '73 High Harmony Music, BMI »
I know we've had our ups and downs baby all lovers do
Still you know that you can't go don't tell me that we're through
You know there's not another love as good as yours and mine
So baby get that leavin' off your mind

I know there's times I make you mad we don't see eye to eye
Baby we can work it out let's give it one more try
Just think about the times we love and all the joy we find
And baby get that leavin' off your mind

Baby get that leavin' off your mind
Ain't no place you're gonna go and find
The good good love I give you you won't find a better kind
So baby get that leavin' off your mind
Yeah baby get that leavin' off your mind

HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU KILL A MEMORY

(Skeeter Davis)
« © '68 High Harmony Music, BMI »
The way I laugh my epitaph should read here lies a clown
Cause I'm the life of every party since you've left me down
There's not one guy who doesn't try to take your place with me
They can't see that I'm not free of your memory

Cause it's standin' in the way of everything I try to do
Dear I never think to keep me from forgetting you
Pullin' at my heart caryin' it apart never gonna let me be
How in the world do you kill a memory
[ steel ] Our photographs are torn in half to realize we're through
I burned your little notes of love and your letters tied in blue
I watch the fire the flames go higher but there in front of me
Surrounding ashes of our love stood your memory

It was standin' in the way of everything I try to do...
Somebody tell me how in the world do you kill a memory

TRY JESUS

(Skeeter Davis)
« © '72 High Harmony Music, BMI »
You're tryin' everything from drink to drugs and still you cannot find
The answer to the questions that circle in your mind
Let me tell you bout Jesus and what he'll do for you
He can save your soul from hell and nobody else can do

That except Jesus
He will be your friend try Jesus he will take you in
He'll rescue you like he did me he'll save your soul he'll set you free
Oh what a friend we have in Jesus

As you travel down life's road I'm sure you want to find
The one thing in this troubled world that'll give you peace of mind
If you'll just try Jesus I promise you will see
The meaning of what real peace is and what it's like to be free

Try Jesus he will be your friend try Jesus he will take you in
He'll rescue you like he did me he'll save your soul he'll set you free
Oh what a friend we have in Jesus

Jesus he will be your friend...
Oh what a friend we have in Jesus

IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS (WHEN TIMES WERE BAD)

(Dolly Parton)
« © '68 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
We get up before sunup to get the work done up
We'd work in the fields till the sun had gone down
We've stood and we've cried as we helplessly watched
A hailstorm a beating our crops to the ground
We've gone to bed hungry many nights in our past
In the good old days when times were bad

No ammount of money could buy from me
The mem'ries that I have of them
No ammount of money could pay me
To go back and live through it again

I've seen daddy's hands break open and bleed
And I've seen him work till he's stiff as a board
And I've seen mother lay and suffer in sickness
In need of a doctor we couldn't afford
Anything at all was more than we had
In the good old days when times were bad

We've got up before we found ice on the floor
Where the wind would blew snow through the cracks in the wall
And I couldn't enjoy then havin' the boy friend
I had nothin' decent to wear at all
So I longed for love that I never had
In the good old days when times were bad

No ammount of money...
In the good old days when times were bad
In the good old days when times were bad

ONE MORE TIME

(Ronny Light)
« © '74 High Harmony Music, BMI »
One more time let's pretend that everything's all right
One more time let me hold you in my arms tonight
It's over now but still somehow I can't let go
So let me love you one more time

I know tonight will be our last night
But let's pretend it isn't true
Give me just a memory to cling to
Hold me in your arms and whisper darlin' I'll always love you

One more time let's pretend that everything's all right...
One more time

DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER

(Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb)
« © '73 Crompton Songs, BMI / Gibb Brothers Music, BMI »
Don't forget to remember me and the love that used to be
I still remember you I love you
In my heart there's a memory as true as stars above
Don't forget to remember me my love

Oh my heart won't believe that you have left me
Though I keep telling myself that it's true
I can get over anything you've done my love
But I can't get myself over you

Don't forget to remember me...

That you were meant for me

All my life I've been a waitin' tonight there'll be no hesitatin'
Oh boy when you're with me oh boy whole world can see

YOUR CHEATIN' HEART

(Hank Williams)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Your cheating heart will make you weep
You'll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through
Your cheating heart will tell on you

When tears come down like falling rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheating heart will tell on you
[ guitar + fiddle + steel ] When your tears come down like falling rain...

GYPSY JOE AND ME

(Dolly Parton)
« © '69 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
We might have slept in the mayor's yard or camped by the river banks
We fed ourselves from the fruit of the land and quenched our thirst with rain
We never did allow no roots to grow beneath our feet
Life just had no pattern for Gypsy Joe and me
All we had was each other and the rags upon our backs
The closest thing to a home we new was some abandoned shack
But we had all we wanted and the rest we didn't need
Life was free and simple for Gypsy Joe and me

Now Gypsy was my little dog I found by the road in a ditch
And so I named him Gypsy cause that name just seemed to fit
Oh and Joe he was my man he was the flower of my soul
Though he never said he loved me I just always seemed to know
While standing by the highway a thumbin' for a ride
The speeding wheels of a passing car took Gypsy's life
I lost him where I found him and his loss was misery
Now there's no more Gypsy there's just Joe and me

Well the winter came and the snow did fall and the night was cold and still
And the rags we wore were not enough and Joe he caught the chill
He told me how he loved me and in my arms he went to sleep
Now there's no more Gypsy no more Joe there's just me
While standing here on the edge of this bridge looking down I see
The face of Joe and Gypsy a looking up at me
And somewhere in the distance I can hear them calling me
Tonight we'll be together again Gypsy Joe and me
Tonight we'll be together again Gypsy Joe and me

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S ALL OVER

(Ben Peters)
« © '72 Ben Peters Music, BMI »
I can't believe that it's all over baby
Not after all that we've been through
I can't believe that you no longer love me
I'll be forever loving you

I still can't believe it when I wake up you're not here
I get dressed but I just sit there and stare
And then I start thinkin' about the things I done wrong
And some things I didn't do that I sure wish I had
You know I'd give anything to have things like they used to be
So darlin' search your heart again
I know there must be some love left for me
Come on back to me and let's try again
Cause I'll be forever lovin' you

I can't believe that it's all over baby...
Loving you
