SINGING THE BLUES
(Melvin Endsley)
« © '55 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Well I never felt more like singing the blues
Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear why'd you do me this way
Well I never felt more like crying all night
Cause everything's wrong and nothing ain't right
Without you you got me singing the blues
The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do but cry cry cry cry over you
Well I never felt more like running away
But why should I go cause I couldn't stay
Without you you got me singing the blues
[ whistle ]
Well I never felt more like crying all night...
The moon and stars no longer shine...
Well I never felt more like running away...

TENNESSEE WALTZ
(Pee Wee King - Redd Stewart)
« © '48 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I was waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced her to my loved one and while they were waltzing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darling the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
[ trumpet ]
I was waltzing with my darling...
I remember the night...

YOUNG LOVE
(Carole Joyner - Ric Cartey)
« © '56 ATV Songs, BMI »
They say for every boy and girl there's just one love in this old world
And I know I've found mine
The heavenly touch of your embrace tells me no one can take your place
Ever in my heart
Young love first love filled with true devotion
Young love our love we share with deem emotion
[ guitar ]
Just one kiss from your sweet lips will tell me that your love is real
And I can feel that it's true
We will vow to one another there will never be any other
Love for you or for me
Young love first love...

YOUR CHEATING HEART
(Hank Williams)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Your cheating heart will make you weep
You'll cry and cry you'll 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 you'll call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheating heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain...

BYE BYE LOVE
(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant)
« © '57 House Of Bryant, BMI »
Bye bye love bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye love bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love goodbye
There goes my baby with someone new
He sure looks happy I sure am blue
He was my baby til she stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been
Bye bye love bye bye happiness...
I'm through with romance I'm through with love
I'm through with counting the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free
My loving baby is through with me
Bye bye love bye bye happiness...
Bye bye my love goodbye bye bye my love goodbye

PEACE IN THE VALLEY
(Thomas A. Dorsey)
« © '39 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Well I'm tired and so weary but I must go along
Till the Lord comes to call call me away oh yes
Well the morning's so bright and the lamb is the light
And the night is as fair as the day oh Lord
There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me oh Lord
There'll be no sadness no sorrow no trouble trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me
Well the bear will be gentle the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb oh Lord
And the beast from the wild shall be lead by a child
I'll be changed from this creature I am oh Lord
There will be peace in the valley...

(Angel angel ah ah ha ah angel angel ah ah ha ah)
You are my special angel sent from up above
The Lord smiled down on me and sent an angel to love
You are my special angel right from paradise
I know that you're an angel heaven is in your eyes
The smile from your lips brings the summer sunshine
The tears from your eyes bring the rain
I feel your touch your warm embrace and I'm in heaven again
You are my special angel through eternity
I'll have my special angel here to watch over me
(The smile from your lips brings the summer sunshine
The tears from your eyes bring the rain)
I feel your touch your warm embrace....
Here to watch over me

HEARTS OF STONE
(Rudy Jackson - Eddie Ray)
« © '56 Regent Music, BMI »
Hearts made of stone will never never break
For the love you give they just won't take
You can ask them please please please please break
And all of your love is there to take
Yes the hearts of stone will cause you pain
Although you love them they'll stop you just the same
You can ask them please please please please break
And all of your love is there to take
[ sax ]
But they'll say no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Everybody knows I thought you knew hearts're made of stone
[ sax ]
Yes the hearts of stone will cause you pain...
But they'll say no no no no no...

HALF AS MUCH
(Curley Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down
If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
[ strings ]
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down
If you missed me half as much as I miss you...

COLD COLD HEART
(Hank Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
[ strings ]
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your debtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

« © '54 Unichappell Music, BMI / Pamasons Publishing, BMI »
(Let me go let me go let me go)
Oh let me go let me go let me go lover
Let me be set me free from your spell
You made me weak cut me deep I can't sleep lover
I was cursed from the first day I fell
You don't want me but you want me to go on wanting you
How I pray that you'll say that we're through
Please turn me lose what's the use let me go lover
Let me go let me go let me go
You made me weak cut me deep I can't sleep lover
I was cursed from the first day I fell
You don't want me but you want me...
(Let me go let me go let me go)

ANYTIME
(Herbert Lawson)

Anytime you're feeling lonely anytime you're feeling blue
Anytime you feel down hearted that will prove your love for me is true
Anytime you're thinking bout me that's the time I'll be thinking bout you
So anytime you say you want me back again
That's the time I'll come back home to you
[ guitar ]
Anytime you're thinking bout me...
