TRUE LOVE'S A BLESSING
(Sonny James - Carole Smith)
« © '66 Mike Curb Music, BMI »
True love's a blessing true love's a wonderful blessing
True love's a blessing wait and see
When you found a right girl you found your priceless pearl
True love's a blessing yes siree
Some girls love for money some make love a game
Some girls use their love a stepping stones to fame
There are many kinds of love in this great big world
But there's no whole lot of love of a true blue girl
True love's a blessing...
Some girls take their love too casually they flirt
Some girl use their love to break a heart to hurt
There are many kinds of love to be found that's true
But there's no love like the love I found when I found you
True love's a blessing...
(Sing it loud) true love's a blessing...
(One more time) true love's a blessing...

I GET FOOLED DON'T I
(Sonny James - Carole Smith)

Each time you promise you'll be true I tell my heart to belive in you
This time I say I won't cry can I get fooled don't I
Each time you swear you'll walk the line I tell myself that at last you're mine
This time I say she won't lie can I get fooled don't I
[ ac.guitar ]
This time I know for sure I'm through by heart no longer believes in you
This time I say it's goodbye but I get fooled don't I yes I get fooled don't I

THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER DAY
(Bob Tubert - Sonny James)
« © '66 Mike Curb Music, BMI »
There's always another day to hope you'll come home
There's always another night to cry all alone
The only way I go on hurting this way
Is when I tell myself there's always another day
There's always another day and I'm waitin' here
Just hoping that you'll come back and dry all my tears
I know I must believe you'll come back to stay
And so I tell myself there's always another day
[ choir ]
I know I must believe you'll come back to stay
And so I tell myself there's always another day there's always another day

LOVE ME LIKE THAT
(Don Deal - Chuck Deal)
« © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Oh oh oh love me like that love me like that and darling love me forever
Old man and woman a beautiful sight
Still so in love makes the whole world seem bright
Their age is a symbol of a wonderful thing the happiness true love can bring
Oh oh oh love me like that love me like that and darling love me forever
A baby cuddled in its mother's arms caressed oh so tender with all mama's charms
A scene of beauty it makes my heart seem to see the happiness true love can bring
Oh oh oh love me like that love me like that and darling love me forever
Be mine forever I want nothing more I'll leave you never my heart's very sure
All that I ask is forever be true love me as I love you
Oh oh oh love me like that love me like that and darling love me forever

EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
(Robert Allen - Al Stillman)

We'll walk the road of life together day by day
And I will love you every step of the way
The road may wind beneath the sky of blue or gray
But I will love you every step of the way
So only love me and love me only and we will never walk with loneliness
For just as sure as every April turns to May so will I love every step of the way
(So only love) only love me (love me only) love me true
No we will ever walk with loneliness
For just as sure as every April turns to May so will I love every step of the way
I'll love you only every step of the way

ON THE FINGERS OF ONE HAND
(Sonny James - Carole Smith)
« © '66 Mike Curb Music, BMI »
On the fingers of one hand on the fingers of one hand
Life can all be counted on the fingers of one hand
Count your little finger on the day you born
See the fingernail it's protection from the thorn
Protection from the thorn of life you choosed you as you grow
The nail is a guardian until you're a child no more
On the fingers of one hand...
Count your second finger as you come of age
Right and wrong is clearer when you reach this page
And when you meet a girl you love accordin' to life's plan
The day you age you count the middle finger of your hand
On the fingers of one hand...
When the Lord has blessed you with a tiny air
Count the final finger say a thankful prayer
Last of all you're countin' on the day your life is done
From birth to death is not in vain you live on through your son
On the fingers of one...

TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER
(Arthur Kent - Ed Warren)
« © '61 Music Sales, ASCAP »
I supposed I ought to say congratulations
For you've won the only girl I'll ever love
But I've hurt too much to face the situation
So take good care of her take good care of her
Just to be around her was my greatest pleasure
She was everything my future held in store
So remember when you take my only treasure
To take good care of her take good care of her
I must accepted she loves you more than me
So with my broken heart I'll bow out gracefully
Please don't send me any wedding invitations
For I couldn't bear to see her there with you
If she's happy that will be my consolation
Just take good care of her take good care of her take good care of her

(Sonny James - Michael Kirkland)
« © '66 Mike Curb Music, BMI »
Oh somethin's got a hold on me oh somethin's got a hold on me I know
I got a feelin' I feel so strange everything bout me seems to have change
Step by step I got a brand new walk I even sound sweeter when I talk
I said oh oh oh oh I got a good good feelin' and it must be love
Let me tell you now somethin's got a hold on me
Oh somethin's got a hold on me I know
Oh haven't felt like this before some keeps a holdin' I won't let go
Belive I'll die if I only could I sure feel strange but I sure feel good
I said oh oh oh oh I got a good good feelin' and it must be love
[ ac.guitar ]
Let me tell you now somethin's got a hold on me
Oh somethin's got a hold on me I know
I got a feelin' I feel so strange everything bout me seems to have change
I never thought love brought misery but love's sure gonna put a hurtin' on me
I said oh oh oh oh I got a good good feelin' and it must be love

WHEN YOUR WORLD STOPS TURNING
(Bob Tubert - Gene Strasser - George Winters)
« © '66 Vintage Music, BMI »
What do you do when your world stops turning and the torch starts burning again
What do you do when your hearts starts hurtin' to start your world turning again
I know I should leave get you out of my mind turn the page close the door say goodbye
I know that it's hopeless you're gone like the wind my world won't start turning again
What do you do when your hearts starts hurtin' to start your world turning again
What do you do...
I live without night and I live without day I'm lost like the last tear I cried
Still I hope that maybe you'll come back and then my world will start turning again
What do you do...

IT'S GONNA RAIN SOME IN MY HEART
(Sonny James - Dub Murray)
« © '66 Mike Curb Music, BMI »
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart it's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
I woke up this morning sunshine everywhere I didn't have a worry didn't have a care
Then I got this note sayin' you were through with me
Now the sun is gone it's a cloudy day I see
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart it's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
Why don't I forget you friends would say they tell me stormy day has passed away
But I know till you're back this storm is here to stay
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
[ ac.guitar - piano ]
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart it's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
Well I always heard that sunshine follows rain but I can't see the sun for all this pain
Well things just won't be right till you're back again
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart it's gonna rain some rain some in my heart

LAST TIME
(Harlan Howard - Gene Myers)
« © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Somewhere outside the wind is wailing this time tomorrow I'll be sailing
Oh my love hold me as if it was our last time
Somewhere outside the bird is crying sounds like a million souls have dying
Oh my love hold me as if it was our last time
The trumpet sounds and I have things to do
But when it's done and if I can I'm coming back to you
Somewhere outside tomorrow's calling too many tears will soon be falling
Oh my love hold me as if it was our last time
[ choir ]
Oh my love hold me as if it was our last time
The trumpet sounds...
Hold me as if it was our last time

DON'T CUT TIMBER ON A WINDY DAY
(Ted Riedel)
« © '66 Mike Curb Music, BMI »
I once had a friend named Joe the biggest lumberjack in old Idaho
He worked like a dog from day to day he drew ten cents an hour for his pay
Come Saturday evenin' it have him a ball it'd ride him along the Idaho Falls
But now old Joe he's laid to rest he forgot this slogan that he learned best
Don't you cut timber on a windy day stay out of wood better listen what I say
Winds and top flowers go either way don't you cut timber on a windy day
Don't you cut timber on a windy day...
Now Joe had a girl and her name was Anne had arms like a bull and muscles like a man
And when she heard old Joe is dead she picked up rags and away she plead
Up in the mountains where the trees grow tall it was in her mind to cut 'em all
Folks around here say to this day that end still up they're chappin' away
Don't you cut timber on a windy day...
