CAN YOU FEEL IT

(Bobby Goldsboro)
« © '70 Detail Music, BMI »
There's a feeling deep inside me that I've never felt before
And I feel it when I see you and when I touch you I feel it even more

And I wonder when I'm with you do you feel the way I do
When you put your arms around me do you get that feeling too

Can you feel it deep inside can you feel it in your heart
Can you feel it deep inside if you feel it then we can start

We can put our hearts together and there's none a thing to fear
If you got that lovin' feeling then the time for us is here

Can you feel it deep inside...

So just take a look around you and then tell me what you see
Is the world a little brighter and does the sun seem to shine for you and me

Can you feel it deep inside...
Can you feel it deep inside...

YOU AND YOUR SWEET LOVE

(Bill Anderson)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I wish you only knew all the days I've made it through
Because of you and your sweet love
I wish that I could count the times peace and comfort filled my mind
Because of you and your sweet love

You're what keeps me going the sun that lights my sky
The rose that blooms in winter the rain that cools July
Never try to tell me that it wasn't God above
That sent me you and your sweet love
[ steel ] Almost every night it seems you come walking through my dreams
Precious you and your sweet love
And tonight though we're apart there's a fullness in my heart
Thanks to you and your sweet love

You're the rock I cling to the star I wish upon
The water in my desert the anchor in life's storm
Never try to tell me that it wasn't God above
That sent me you and your sweet love
He sent me you and your sweet love

WE HAD ALL THE GOOD THINGS GOING

(Marvin Shiner - Jerry Monday)
« © '58 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
It wasn't very long ago we had a love few people know
And everything was going oh so fine
I've trusted you you've trusted me the way that it's supposed to be
But love slipped from us somewhere down the line

We had all of the good things going baby
You know we did they were so kind
Enjoying the taste of the good life
We all look for but few can't find

Now it's gone but we can't understand how love could slip right through our hands
On down the line things seem so very right
Our love went on for all these years we both knew that we were sincere
Then it was gone just over night

We had all of the good things going baby...

Now that we've gone our seperate ways I still recall those brighter days
The days that didn't seem so very long
Neither of us are to blame we only know that it's a shame
That all that we had going now is gone

We had all of the good things going baby...
We had all of the good things going baby...

HELLO STRANGER

(Harlan Howard)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Hello stranger you look familiar
You remind me of someone I used to love
But I guess stranger if I look longer
You won't even resamble the one I'm thinking of

He has such warm tender loving hands
While yours are very friendly to my touch
And like you even wore golden wedding band
Oh stranger I loved him so much

Well I guess you think I'm crazy goin' on like this
Cause you know I know you're one and the same
And it's been so long now I just hope you're happy
With the one who did and still shares your name
[ steel ] Hello stranger I hope you're happy
With the one who did and still shares your name

LET IT BE

(John Lennon - Paul McCartney)
« © '70 ATV Tunes, ASCAP »
When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom let it be
Let it be let it be let it be let it be whsiper words of wisdom let it be

And when all the brokenhearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer let it be
But though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer let it be
Let it be let it be let it be let it be whsiper words of wisdom let it be
Let it be let it be let it be let it be whsiper words of wisdom let it be
[ guitar ] And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow let it be
I wake up to the sound of music Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom let it be
Let it be let it be let it be let it be whsiper words of wisdom let it be
Let it be let it be let it be let it be whsiper words of wisdom let it be

ROCK ME BACK TO LITTLE ROCK

(Lola Jean Dillon)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I was young when I left you and daddy
There was a world outside I had to see
Mama I've sure been a lot of places
But Little Rock still looks the best to me

Oh rock me back to Little Rock mama rock me
Let me be there in my dreams awhile
Where the men don't try to take advantage
Of every woman who smiles
Sing me a little rock-a-bye-baby
Just the way you used to do
Mama this old world ouside does hurt me
So rock me back to Little Rock with you
[ guitar ] I couldn't wait to get away from Little Rock
For I thought Little Rock was a little square
But if I ever save enough money
I'll swing it right on back and settle there

Oh rock me back to Little Rock mama rock me...

LOVE IS A SOMETIMES THING

(Jan Howard)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Love is a sometimes thing
Yes your love is a sometimes thing
It comes and goes like winter and spring
Yes your love is a sometimes thing

You told me that you would always care
In time of need you'd always be there
But lately baby I've seen so little of you
Makes me wonder just what you been up to

Love is a sometimes thing...
Love is a sometimes thing...

TRY A LITTLE KINDNESS

(Bobby Austin - Curt Sapaugh)
« © '69 Airefield Music, BMI / Glen Campbell Music, BMI / Songs Of Windswept Pacific, BMI »
If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say you're goin' the wrong way

You've got to try a little kindness show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you'll try a little kindness then you'll overlook the blindness
Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets
[ guitar ] Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way

You've got to try a little kindness...
You've got to try a little kindness...

I NEVER ONCE STOPPED LOVING YOU

(Bill Anderson - Jan Howard)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The nights were dark and long I spent a million all alone
But I never once stopped loving you
My world was cold and still my dreams lay unfulfill
But I never once stopped loving you

I never once stopped believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you
[ steel ] I could have loved another but I chose the way and suffered
For I never once stopped loving you
I prayed to God to guide you till I could be beside you
But I never once stopped loving you

I never once stopped believing...

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

(Paul Simon)
« © '69 Paul Simon Music, BMI »
When you're weary feeling small when tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side oh when times get rough and friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

When you're down and out when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
I'll take your part oh when darkness comes and pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
[ steel ] Sail on silver love sail on by your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine oh if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
