1.
YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »

Daylight comes and bluebirds sing and outside the grass is green
But I don't care if sun shines or it rains
Cause I'm happy as I can be as long as you will stand by me
And nothing beside of heaven can make me change
Cause you you mean all the world to me
[ steel ]
You start my day with one sweet kiss
You keep my world turnin' with tenderness
And you always say the right things when I'm blue
When dark clouds gettin' to cover my sky
And temptation looks me straight in the eye
It all disappears when you say I love you
Cause you you mean all the world to me
You you mean all the world to me you you

I REMEMBER YOU
(Johnny Mercer - Victor Schertzinger)

I remember you
You're the one who made my dreams come true a few kisses ago
I remember you
You're the one who said I love you too didn't you know
I remeber too a distant bell and stars that fell like rain out of the blue
When my life is through and the angels ask me to recall the thrill of them all
Then I will tell them I remember you
I remeber too a distant bell...

KISS AWAY
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)

Kiss away kiss away guess that's all that's left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Smile again let me smile again make this life worthwhile again
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Only you can change these sad and blue days
Only you can make them I-love-you days
So kiss away kiss away still there's nothing left to say
Please come back and kiss these tears away
Only you can change...

FADED LOVE
(Bob Wills - John Wills)
« © '51 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »

As I look at the letters that you wrote to me it's you that I am thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so sweet I remember our faded love
As I think of the past and all the pleasures we've had
As I watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye I remember our faded love
I miss you darling more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
And with every heartbeat I still think of you and remember our faded love
And remember our faded love

BEFORE THE NEXT TEARDROP FALLS
(Ben Peters - Vivian Keith)
« © '67 Shelby Singleton Music, BMI »

If he brings you happiness then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if he ever breaks your heart if the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Though it hurts to let you go darling I want you to know
And I'll stand by you if ever you should call
And if I should ever hear that he made you shed a tear
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
I'll be there anytime you need me by your side
To dry away every teardrop that you cried
If he ever leaves you blue just remember I love you
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
If he ever leaves you blue...

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS
(Terry Gilkyson - Frankie Miller - Rich Dehr)
« © '42 Blackwood Music, BMI »

Take one fresh and tender kiss add one stolen night of bliss
One girl one boy some grief some joy memories are made of this
Don't forget a small moonbeam fold in lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine two sips of wine memories are made of this
Then add the wedding bells one house where lovers dwell
Three little kids for the flavor
Stir carefully through the days see how the flavor stays
These are the dreams you will savour
With his blessings from above serve it generously with love
One man one wife one love true life memories are made of this
Memories are made of this memories are made of this

DON'T MENTION TOMORROW
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '66 Al Gallico Music, BMI »

I know I'll be blue for a while yet till your mem'ry finally goes I'll wait
And these tears that keep falling around me mean a rainbow is on its way
So don't mention tomorrow till I have time to forget yesterday
I'm still in a state of confusion cause I'd planned a future with you
And it's such a big change for my world to turn from happy to blue
So don't mention tomorrow till I have time to forget yesterday
(Don't mention tomorrow) till I have time to forget yesterday

MISTY BLUE
(Bob Montgomery)
« © '65 Dimensionsl Songs Of The Knoll, BMI / Talmont Music, BMI »

Oh it's been such a long long time looks like I'd get you off my mind
Oh but I can't just the thought of you turns my whole world a misty blue

Just the mention of your name turns the flicker to a flame
I think of things we used to do then my whole world turns misty blue
I should forget you heaven knows I've tried
But when I say I'm glad we're through my heart knows I lie
Oh it's been such a long long time...
Oh but I can't just the thought of you turns my whole world a misty blue

TOO FAR GONE
(Billy Sherrill)
« © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »

I can tell that somewhere there's someone you loved more than me
Someone you loved more than me
And it hurts to say it but you have the right to be free
I know that's the way it should be
My friends would console me by saying go find someone new
Go out and find someone new
But the longer I try the harder I cry over you I go home and cry over you
Cause I'm too far gone too far gone
I guess I've loved you too much for too long and I'm too far gone
I guess I've loved you too much for too long and I'm too far gone

LIGHTER SHADE OF BLUE
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »

You walked out so many times and left me with a worried mind
Confused alone no knowing what to do
Then you come back and I'd forgive and heartaches end but mem'ries live
Each time I turn a lighter shade of blue
Cause I don't hurt the way I used to hurt don't cry the way I used to cry
Could be a sign I'm gettin' over you
There'll come a day it won't be long you'll come back and find me gone
Each time I turn a lighter shade of blue each time I turn a lighter shade of blue
[ steel ]
Cause I don't hurt the way...
