DON'T KEEP ME HANGIN' ON
(Sonny James - Carole Smith)
« © '70 Mike Curb Music, BMI »

Don't keep me hangin' on let me go let me go let me go
If your love is through if your love is gone don't keep me hangin' on

I'm a big fool to love you when you treat me like I'm your clown
It's easy to see that you don't love me you just want me hangin' around
Don't keep me hangin' on...

Times when I say I'm leaving you keep begging me to stay
When I try to go you put on a show somehow I can't get away
Don't keep me hangin' on...
Don't keep me hangin' on...
Don't keep me hangin' on

RAMBLIN' ROSE
(Noel Sherman - Joe Sherman)

Ramblin' rose ramblin' rose why you ramble no one knows
Wild and wind blown that's how you've grown who can cling to a ramblin' rose
Ramble on ramble on when you're ramblin' days are gone
Who will love you with a love true when you're ramblin' days are gone
[ piano - choir ]
Ramblin' rose ramblin' rose why I want you heaven knows
Though I love you with a love true who can cling to a ramblin' rose

LET ME LIVE AND LOVE WITH YOU
(Sonny James - Babern Joners)
« © '70 Mike Curb Music, BMI »

Spring comes and goes many winters may pass
My love grows and grows like a rock it will last
Time can't go back it's love I must give
The more of my heart you'll take the more I will live
So let me live and love with you everyday my whole life through
Let these arms take care of you let me live and love with you
[ piano ]
They say love's a flower that blooms then it dies
But nothing can change this feeling inside
Some loves may die but ours never will
I'll love you wilth all my heart as long as I live
So let me live and love with you...

WATERLOO
(John D. Loudermilk - Marijohn Wilkin)
« © '59 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »

Waterloo Waterloo where will you meet your Waterloo
Everybody has his day everybody has to pay everybody has to meet his Waterloo

Now ol' Adam was the first in history with an apple he was tempted and deceived
Just for spite old Satan made him take a bite
And that's where ol' Adam met his Waterloo
Waterloo Waterloo...

Little General Napoleon of France tried to conquer the world but lost his pants
Met defeat known as Bonaparte's retreat
And that's where Napoleon met his Waterloo
Waterloo Waterloo...

MY LOVE
(Tony Hatch)
« © '65 Songs Of Universal, BMI / ATV Songs, BMI »

My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world that could ever change my love

Something happened to my heart the day that I met you
Something that I never felt before
You are always on my mind no matter what I do
And every day it seems I want you more
My love is warmer...

Once I thought that love was meant for anyone else but me
Once I thought you'd never come my way
Now it only goes to show how wrong we all can be
For now I have to tell you every day
My love is warmer...

WOODBINE VALLEY
(Mark Irish - Ronald Becker)
« © '70 Mike Curb Music, BMI »

I'm on that long long road to Woodbine Valley where a broken heart can go
I've heard a heart can heal there in that valley where the warm breezes blow
Soft rivers flow
No tears will ever fall the skies are sunny trouble and sorrow far behind
And no one cares at all or seems to worry about that once upon a time
When love was kind
Sometimes in our lives it's good to know
That there's a place to go and hide those tears
They tell the story of a lost and broken love
And golden dreams of life that disappear
Each one of us can go to Woodbine Valley where ever true love goes astray
Your dreams will start to grow releasing old mem'ries
Lonely hearts will learn there is a day love comes to stay

BLUE FOR YOU
(James Skye)
« © '70 Mike Curb Music, BMI »

Lonesome for you through the day every moment you're away
Long to see you smiling say I'm in love with you ever will be true
Long to see your smiling face and to feel your warm embrace
No one else can take your place when the day is through darling I'm so blue for you
(Long on and on) feeling kinda blue (thinking of you) don't know what I'll do
I'll love you so much more than you'll know the whole day through
(Long for your knock) knocking at my door
(Long for your kiss) kiss and hold you more
Please don't stay away hurry home today darling I'm so blue for you
(Long on and on) feeling kinda blue...

YOU ARE ALL I LOVE
(Bob Tubert - Sonny James)
« © '70 Mike Curb Music, BMI »

You are all things to me all the things love brings to me
You're a song that sings in me you are all I love
You are my evening prayer you're a thing that's always there
You're the trust that I ashare you are all I love
[ choir ]
Your hand belongs in mine in my heart your sweet love shines
And until the end of time you are all I love I love

HAPPY MEMORIES
(Sonny James - Carole Smith)
« © '70 Mike Curb Music, BMI »

Happy memories happy memories
Happy days when you love me can put my mind at ease
Happy memories sweet sweet memories heartaches can't erase my happy memories

Since you're gone as time goes by I seem to miss you more
And to me each day gets bluer than the day before
The only way that I can put my achin' heart at ease is living with my happy memories
Happy memories...

Funny little things we did keep running through my mind
And instead of crying I'll keep smiling all the time
I found an easy way to make this happy feeling last
I'll spend my future living the past
Happy memories...
