WHERE LOVE USED TO LIVE
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '69 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Four men in a big truck came today
They walked right in and took your all things away
And standing at the door I've watched them drive away
Now it all comes back like it was yesterday
I had stopped off for a drink on my way home
Saw an old girl friend at a corner all alone
She said let's have a drink just for old time sake
I sat down with her and that was my mistake
Now where love used to live there's just an empty home
For when jealousy moved in everything went wrong
If you'd only trusted me and had a heart to forgive
There'd be love again where love used to live
But someday I'll be looking out the door
And that same big truck will pull up here once more
I'll watch the same four men as they unload love again
And put it back the way it was before
Then where love used to live there'll be a happy home
With fate and understanding nothing can go wrong
When you've finally realized there's nothing to forgive
There'll be love again where love used to live
There'll be love again where love used to live

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL ON (LONESOME ROAD)
(Gene Austin - Nat Shilkret / arr. Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '69 Paramount Music, ASCAP / Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Ah look down look down that lonesome road before you travel travel on
Look up look up and seek your maker before Gabriel blows his horn
Now I'm weary totin' such a load travelin' down that lonesome road
Look down look down that lonesome road before you travel travel on
[ guitar - steel ]
True love true love what have I done that you should treat me treat me so
Well you caused me to walk and talk like I've never done before
Now I'm weary totin'...
Ah look down look down that lonesome road before you travel travel on
Ah look down look down that lonesome road before you travel travel on
Ah look down look down that lonesome road before you travel travel on

ONE ROSE (THAT'S LEFT IN MY HEART)
(Del Lyon - Lani McIntire)
« © '53 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
For you're as sweet as the red rose in June dear I love you adore you I do
Each night through loveland we wander sweetheart telling love stories anew
Out of the blue sky a dark cloud came rolling breaking my poor heart in two
Don't leave me alone I love only you you're the one rose that's left in my heart
(You're as sweet as the red rose...

FALLEN STAR
(James Joiner)
« © '57 Tree Publishing, BMI »
A star fell from heaven right into my arms the brightest star I know I've never seen
Then I found out that it was only you with all your charms
Who came into my life to fill a dream
A fallen star that's what you are the twinkle in your eye came from the sky
You must have strayed from the Milky Way a fallen star that's what you are
[ steel ]
The heavens must be lonely now that you are mine
I'm sure they'll miss a star as bright as you
The stars will send their blessings and brighter they will shine
When they see the dream that's coming true
A fallen star that's what you are...

LULLABY TO A LITTLE GIRL
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '69 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Hush a bye don't you cry baby sleep till tomorrow
And though mommy is gone your daddy's still here
Though I can't explain why she went away
Let's pray that tomorrow she'll come back to stay
[ piano - steel ]
So little girl close your eyes and dream of tomorrow
Fot if you dream long enough your dreams will come true
Then your make believe world will be real wait and see
When you open your eyes and see mommy and me

MY WOMAN'S GOOD TO ME
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '69 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Your lips are warm and close to mine I know they taste like warm red wine
And if I'd let myself go I know I fall
But someone's waiting all alone by an lonely telephone
And though I'd love to stay I know I fall
Cause I can't forget her no I can't forget her my woman's good to me
Her eyes are not as blue as yours her lips are not as soft as your
And I'd kiss you she'd prob'ly never know
And though tomorrow brings the sun I'll have to live with what I done
And though I'd love to stay I'd never go
Cause I can't forget her no I can't forget her my woman's good to me
My woman's good to me

THAT'S ALL I WANT FROM YOU
(Fritz Rotter - M. Rotha)
« © '60 Weiss And Barry Music, BMI »
A little love that slowly grows and grows not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
A sunny day with hopes up to the sky a kiss and no goodbye
That's all I want from you
Don't let me down oh show me that you care
Remember when you give you also get your share
Don't let me down I have no time to wait
Tomorrow might not come when dream is dreamed too late
A little love that slowly grows and grows not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
[ guitar ]
Don't let me down oh show me...

I WALK ALONE
(Herbert W. Wilson)
« © '43 Adams Vee & Abbott Music, BMI »
I walk alone where once we wandered it seems so strange that you are gone
Till you return I'll stay the same dear I'll still be true and walk alone
Flame of love is brightly burning you know that I'm your very own
Till you return I'll stay the same dear I'll still be true and walk alone
Flame of love...
I'll still be true and walk alone

SERENADE OF THE BELLS
(Kathleen Twomey - Al Goodhart - Alfred Urbano)
« © '61 Edwin H Morris Co, ASCAP / Waterford Music, ASCAP »
In the sleepy town of Suananita there's a story that a padre tells
Of a gay senor and senorita and the serenade of the bells
Seems they asked a padre for permition to be married early in the spring
But their folks had made just one condition that the mission bells had to ring
Everyone knew the bells were broken and haven't sounded in a long long time
Then one night the village was astounded the bells began to chime
Still the bells are broken goes the story but if in your heart a true love dwells
They will ring for you in all their glory that's the serenade of the bells
Still the bells are broken...

DAVID'S SONG
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '69 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
As sit here in this Loser's Cathedral I hear the sad songs that the jukebox play
Then I dream about Where Love Used To Live dear
And all the things that I let slip away
With that One Exception I had never cheated
But Temptation And The Wine they both were strong
Now we're left with the Marriage On The Rocks dear
Where used to stand the Sweet And Happy Home
I'm still singing the song Almost Persuaded
And darling You Still Mean The World To Me
And I'm sure that we could always be together
If you'd only Have A Little Faith in me
Now you're back and Already It's Heaven
And I should Thank My Lucky Stars above
That My Woman's Good To Me and now forever
We'll Be Livin' In A House Full Of Love
