LOVE IS NO EXCUSE
(Justin Tubb)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Love is no excuse for what we're doing
For we both know that's two hearts could break
We tell ourselves it's cause we love each other
But love is no excuse for us to make
Sure we love each other and it could be so right
But not if someone else have got to pay
Our love for each other looks good in the night
But our love can never see the light of day
It's been going on for much too long now
And our wrongs have mounted one by one
We tell ourselves we've got to have each other
But love is no excuse for what we've done
[ fiddle ]
It's been going on for much too long now...
No love is no excuse for what we've done

YEARNING (TO KISS YOU)
(George Jones - Eddie Eddings)
« © '56 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Yearning to be with the one I can't agree with
Yearning to hear you call my name
Like a fool I left you and now I can't forget you
Please forgive me take me back again
I'll never be the same without you darling
You'll always be my everything
My love for you's still burning and my poor heart is yearning
While you wear another's name
[ fiddle ]
Yearning to hold you and let my arms unfold you
Yearning to hear you call my name
Yearning to kiss you oh darling how I miss you
Oh how I wish you felt the same
I never knew how much you cared about me
I thought you were fooling from the start
Yearning to kiss you oh darling how I miss you
I wish that we could make commance sweetheart

I WILL ALWAYS
(Don Gibson)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Loving you I will always and wanting you I will always
Remembering you I will always and nothing can stop my loving you
Missing you I will always and needing you I will always
And remembering you I will always and nothing can stop my loving you
Times will come and go and memories won't grow old
And happiness oh I know that I've found all with you
Loving you I will always and needing you I will always
Remembering you I will always and nothing can stop my loving you

JUST SOMEONE I USED TO KNOW
(Jack Clement)
« © '62 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
There's a picture that I carry one we made some time ago
When they ask who's in the picture with me
I say just someone I used to know
Just someone I used to spend some time with
Just a flame that's lost its glow
But I don't tell them of the nights I cried without you
I say just someone I used to know
Just someone I used to run around
With just a friend from long ago
I don't tell them how lost I am without you
I say just someone I used to know
I say just someone I used to know

YOU'RE MINE
(George Jones - Jack Ripley)
« © '70 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
I won't say that I'm the only one who loved you
I can't say I make you happy all the time
There's someone you can't forget you never will and yet
As far as my heart's concerned you're mine
You never once have told me that you need me
And you forget with I'm around you sometimes
There are words I try to say when you turn and walk away
But as far as my heart's concerned you're mine
You're mine and yet I know someday I'll lose you
But you can't take this happiness I've found
I know it may sound foolish when I tell you
That I'm satisfied just having you around
Even when you're in my arms I know you're lonely
Wish that I could take that someone all to mine
But it seems you can't forget you never will and yet
As far as my heart's concerned you're mine

WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO MISS YOU
(Hank Cochran - Dave Kirby)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Sunday morning and I'd best be on my way
Got a feelin' it will be a busy day
Doing something I'm not looking forward to
Wish I didn't have to miss you
Broke the clock because I wound it up too tight
Lucky me I didn't sleep a wink last night
So I wish upon a time to do what I must do
Wish I didn't have to miss you
Wonder who's glass is what I'm seeing through
Because I'm seeing everything with you everything with you
Now it's Sunday and I may go for a hike
Cause when it's Sunday it'll be Sunday day and night
Red is red and black is black and blue is blue
I wish I didn't have to miss you
Wonder who's glass is...
Wish I didn't have to miss you

OUR CHAIN OF LOVE
(Willie Nelson)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
When the chain of love is broken its pieces scattered all around
In the hasty search for reason sometimes a link cannot be found
I say you're wrong you say it's my fault you saw it commit all alone
We've lost the link of understanding our chain of love can't last long
This chain of love we piece together with the link of understanding gone
The link of patience must work over time our chain of love can't last long
[ steel ]
It seems so unfair this should happen two hearts are forced to live alone
But the chain's no stronger than its weakest link and our chain of love can't last long
This chain of love we piece together...
Our chain of love can't last long

WILLINGLY
(Hank Cochran)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Willingly I fell in love with you
Willingly I learned to love you too
Though we both knew that it was wrong
To someone else we both belong
We fell in love willingly
Willingly I fell although I knew
Sweetheart I knew the same as you
So if it's fate for us to wait until our love can be then we'll wait willingly
I love you I love you too I want you and I want you too
But if it's fate for us to wait until our love can be then we'll wait willingly
[ guitar ]
But if it's fate for us to wait until our love can be then we'll wait willingly
Yes we'll wait willingly

MY TEARS DON'T SHOW
(Carl Butler)
« © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I've learned to hide my bleed within my heart
And to conceal the thing that hurts me so
But everytime somebody calls your name
Although I've cried for you my tears don't show
For my heart is big enough to hold a million tears
Alone with all these memories I've treasured through the years
These memories that make the teardrops flow
Although I've cried for you my tears don't show
[ piano ]
For my heart is big enough...

EVERYBODY KNEW BUT YOU AND ME
(Dallas Frazier)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
It's so plain to see that we're both happy
And we're both as proud as we can be
Everybody knows we love each other
Everybody knows but you and me
They all say that we're the perfect couple
And they know we never disagree
Everybody know we're true and faithful
Everybody knows but you and me
How can we keep on pretending
Sharing love that's nothing but a lie
Outside we both have smiling faces
While inside we both would like to die
Everywhere we go we're always carefull
Of the things our friends might hear and see
Everybody knows our love is lasting
Everybody knows but you and me
Everybody knows but you and me

FIRST DAY
(Roy Baham)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
This is the first day of the rest of our lives
I'm thankful that in time we rally realize
Our yeaterdays have made our hearts see eyes to eyes
This is the first day of the rest of our lives
I feel like I've awaken from a bad and lonely dream
Like a blind man who's just regain his sight
Yes and I feel like you're holding me for the very first time
Fot the first time sweetheart we've seen the light
This is the first day of the rest of our lives
I'm thankful that in time we rally realize
Our yeaterdays have made our hearts see eyes to eyes
This is the first day of the rest of our lives
