MISSISSIPPI
(Werner Theunissen)
« © '76 Al Gallico Music, BMI / Algee Music, BMI »
Where you can hear a country song for fun
And someone plays the honky tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out one by one
Where people join the song and the wind takes it away
Where the Misissippi rolls down to the sea
And lovers found the place they like to be
How many times before this song was ending
Love and understanding everywhere around
Mississippi I'll remember you
Whenever I shall go away I'll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
Mississippi you'll be on my mind
Every time I hear this song Mississippi roll along
Until the end of time
[ steel ]
Now the country song forever lost its soul
When the guitar picker turned to rock'n roll
And everytime when summer nights are falling
I always will be calling dreams of yesterday
Mississippi I'll remember you...

LET ME LOVE YOU ONCE BEFORE YOU GO
(Stephen H. Dorff - Molly Ann Leikin)
« © '75 Careers Music, BMI / Almo Music, ASCAP »
It's like looking in the window of a fine boutique
Knowing there is nothing I could ever buy
Still I want your love so much that I could die
But I just can't lead a double life being one man's lover one man's wife
But you can start a fire raging just by touching me
Even though I know we're not supposed to touch
Oh I've never wanted anyone so much
How I wish that I had found you first don't you see my heart's about to burst
Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep saying yes to me so don't keep saying no
Let me love you once and then you'll see
No one's ever gonna love you more than me
[ piano ]
Let me lock the door and open all my love to you
All the love I've longed to give you since we met
It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get
And I just can't let it disappear oh my darling please come over here
Let me love you once before you go...
No one's ever gonna love you more than me

UNDER YOUR SPELL AGAIN
(Buck Owens - Dusty Rhodes)
« © '59 Central Songs, BMI »
I swore the last time that you let me down
That I wouldn't see you if you came around
But I can't tell my heart what's right or wrong
And I've been so lonely since you've been gone
You've got me under your spell again saying those things again
Making me believe you're just mine
You've got dreaming those dreams again thinking those things again
I've gotta take you back just one more time
Everybody tells me that I'm a fool
That I never should have put my faith in you
And way down deep inside I guess I know it's true
But no one else can make me feel the way you do
You've got me under your spell again...
Yes I've gotta take you back just one more time

YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE
(Bobby Springfield)
« © '76 Warner House Of Music, BMI »
I love to say your name even when you're not around
I just love the way it sounds it's music to me
I love to dream of you even when I'm not asleep
Baby your love just keeps gettin' deeper in me
Darlin' you are always there
No matter where I am you're never far away from me
And baby you are always there
You're everywhere and you've become a part of me
[ piano ]
When I have to leave your side you know it doesn't worry me
I've got your love inside of me each and every day
When I have to face the world you know I'll feel so secure
Cause baby I know for sure you're with me all the way
Darlin' you are always there...

TOUCH MY HEART
(Johnny Paycheck - Aubrey Mayhew - Donny Young)
« © '66 Dream City Music, BMI »
Touch my heart feel the hurt it's destroying me
I've tried but I can't seem to shake his memory
Touch my heart feel the hurt the pain and misery
And tell me again what love can do for me
If you lived in my world awhile you'd soon forget how to smile
Cause in my world there's a million ways to cry
If you had my eyes you could see how someone changed my destiny
I'm a girl who can't live and yet can't die
Touch my heart feel the hurt...

CHEATIN' IS
(Rafe VanHoy)
« © '76 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Cheatin' is a thing that starts when you bring
Two lonely people face to face with a brand new kiss
She blames him he blames her
But neighter one is ever quite sure which way it really is
And all of the time in the back of their minds
They know they're gonna have to lie bout where they've been
Cheatin' is a thing that'll take a little ring
And bring it into pieces that'll never go back again
Cheatin' is the part of lovin' that starts
When true love isn't what lovers are looking for
A stranger here a stranger there then you turn around and swear
That you'll never go back for more
And laying at night when you're holding him tight
Is sometimes that a cheater's heart just has to learn
Cheatin' is a thing that's guaranteed to bring
Two unhappy people to the point of no return
[ guitar + steel ]
The worst of cheatin' is the sad little kids
Hangin' in the middle while mommie and daddy choose
Cheatin' is a game where nobody wins
But the ones that aren't big enough to play are the ones who lose

MUSIC OF LOVE
(Harlan Sanders)
« © '78 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
You're walking dately and when you hold me this way
Something tells me you're more than a friend cause I can hear music play
Maybe in the midnight hours a miracle mighty covers
You just might fall in love with me and hear the song that you've never heard
You'll hear the music of love I'll sing it to you every morning and night
As long as I'm living you'll hear the music of love coming out of your heart
You'll know I could it play
And you'll know that I'm in it for you love me and you love
And the music you'll hear with your heart don't you hear it's the music of love
We were never strangers I knew I'd meet you someday
I knew I'd find somebody like you and now you won't get away
Can't you feel our hearts beat in two-part harmony
All through the night the music you'll hear is love's old melody
You'll hear the music of love...
It's the music of love it's the music of love the music of love

WHAT YOU LEFT MY MEMORY
(Linda Hargrove)
« © '76 Careers Music, BMI »
I knew when it was over it'd take a little time
To forget about you and get you off my mind
I've been waitin' patiently for feelings to pass on
But what you left my mem'ry won't leave my heart alone
I knew my heart was broken but I thought it would mend
And given just a little time I've learn to love again
I shouldn't worry but it's takin' me so long
And what you left my mem'ry won't leave my heart alone
Everytime I find someone I'd like to get you know
Your mem'ry whispers to my heart and tells it no tells it no
I still believe I make it but now I wonder when
It's hard to let another take the place that you were in
Funny how the feeling can linger on and on
What you left my mem'ry won't leave my heart alone
Yeah what you left my mem'ry won't leave my heart alone
