I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU

(Don Gibson) « © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time is stood still since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you...

DON'T TELL ME YOUR TROUBLES

(Don Gibson) « © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Don't tell me your troubles I got troubles of my own
Don't tell me your troubles just leave me alone
Leave me alone go on home
Tell it to a friend I got troubles of my own

Say your sweet love left ye what you think about me
Got them same old heartaches same old miseries
Leave me alone go on home
Tell it to a friend got troubles of my own

Happens to the best of us that's what they always say
Take it boy like a man and don't stand in my way

You tell that she's not good she's mean as she can be
It's written all over your lonesome face any heartbroken fool can see
Leave me alone go on home
Tell it to a friend I got troubles of my own
Troubles of my own
[ guitar ] Well it happens to the best...
You tell that she's not good...

(I'D BE A) LEGEND IN MY TIME

(Don Gibson) « © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If heartaches brought fame in love's crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time
If they gave gold statues for tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time

But they don't give awards and there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
[ guitar ] Ah but they don't give awards...

BLUE BLUE DAY

(Don Gibson) « © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
It's been a blue blue day I feel like runnin' away
I feel like runnin' away from it all
My love has been untrue she's found somebody new
It's been a blue blue day for me

Well I feel like crying dying what can I do
I feel like praying saying I'm glad we're through
It's been a blue blue day I feel like runnin' away
I feel like runnin' away from the blues
[ guitar ] Yes how can I make believe that I don't sit and grieve
It's been a blue blue day for me
I can't pretend and say that I don't love her anyway
It's been a blue blue day for me

Well I feel like crying...
I feel like runnin' away from the blues

OH SUCH A STRANGER

(Don Gibson) « © '63 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Oh such a stranger you don't even know me
It's just as though we've never even met
Oh such a stranger you don't even see me
Tell me was I that easy to forget

Don't you remember please won't you try
Was it that long ago you brought tears to my eyes
Oh such a stranger we're not even friends
Don't you even remember me when
[ guitar ] Was it that long ago...

LOVE HAS COME MY WAY

(Don Gibson) « © '63 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Well it looks like love has finally come my way
At last it looks like love has come way
After all the heartaches I've gone through
They were worth it all for you

Well now I'm a little bit older now a little bit wiser now
I know you're the one for me goodbye blues and miseries

At last it looks like love has come way
No doubt about it love has come my way
Paradise with great big eyes of blue
Love has come my way with you
[ guitar ] Well now I'm a little bit older...
At last it looks like love has come way...
Yes love has come my way with you
Mhm love has come my way with you

OH LONESOME ME

(Don Gibson) « © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how she set set me free oh lonesome me

A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see oh lonesome me

I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free
She's flirtin' with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms

Well there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me
[ guitar ] Well I'll bet she's not like me...
Oh lonesome me oh lonesome me

LONESOME NO. 1

(Don Gibson) « © '61 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Lonesome number one
Just call me lonesome number one
Although no titles have I won
I surely must be lonesome number one

Every love I've had has faded like a dew
Every one I wanted has wanted someone new
Heartaches hang around they always come
I surely must be lonesome number one

Lonesome number one...
[ guitar ] Every love I've had...
Yes I surely must be lonesome number one

JUST ONE TIME

(Don Gibson) « © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If I could see you just one time
Oh how it'd ease my troubled mind
If I could hold you just one time
And then pretend that you're still mine

Lips that used to thrill me so
They now thrill someone else I know
Gone is the love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time

I I I I miss you so oh I need you so
I I I'd give this heart of mine
If I could see you just one time
[ guitar ] I I I I miss you so...

AFTER THE HEARTACHE

(Don Gibson) « © '63 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
After the heartache will I still have the blues
Will I still hang of you
You said that in time I'll forget about you
After that what will I do

Will time erase all the sweet memories
And will I not think of the sweet used to be
After I'm losing you what will I do
After the heartache is through
[ guitar ] Oh after I'm losing you what will I do
After the heartache is through

GIVE MYSELF A PARTY

(Don Gibson) « © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I've got a lot of memories to last the rest of my life
So if you don't want to love me baby that'll be all right
I'm gonna take all the lovin' that I have for you
I'm gonna take all the loneliness sit right down with the blues

I'm gonna give myself a party serve old memories
Give myself a party think of how it used to be
Remember all the happiness we once knew
Gonna give myself a party just me and the blues

Well a few of your love letters a photograph or two
A gift you gave on my birthday with words of I love you
There's a lots of things to think about when you're happy feeling blue
So I'm gonna take all the loneliness sit right down with the blues

I'm gonna give myself a party...

ANYTHING NEW GETS OLD (EXCEPT MY LOVE FOR YOU)

(Don Gibson) « © '63 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Anything new gets old except my love for you
It goes on and on and it's forever true
I'll forever love you oh my whole life through
Anything new gets old except my love for you

Anything new gets old except the way you smile
The tenderness of every kiss and those pretty blue eyes
I'll forever love you there'll be no one new
Anything new gets old except my love for you

You're the only good thing to me
Goodbye to the blues and misery
No more lonely nights being so blue
No more lonely hours without you

Anything new gets old except my love for you...
