WALTZ OF THE ANGELS
(Jack Rhodes - Dick Reynolds)
« © '55 Central Songs, BMI / Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »

The Waltz Of The Angels I hear each time
I hold you tightly in these arms of mine
It's surely from heaven this music I hear
When your lips say I love you in waltz time my dear

There must be a power much higher than I
A writer of love songs way up in the sky
The maker of roses of love sweet and true
And the Waltz Of The Angels he wrote just for you
[ fiddle - piano ] There must be a power...

Oh hurry my darling to my waiting arms
I'll love you forever and keep you from harm
They say love is endless our hearts have been kissed
By the waltz of the angels and far beyond this

DID I EVER TELL YOU
(Margie Singleton - Jerry Kennedy)
« © '62 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »

Well honey did I ever tell you just how wonderful you are
Every time you hold me I'll be floatin' with the stars in the sky
I wonder why I guess it's love love love love
Well baby did I ever tell you that you're the greatest guy
Honey are you with me when I look into your eyes
I wonder why I wonder why I guess it's love love love love

Well now don't you know you send me where I never been before
I just want to let you know I love you so
Well I like to hear you talkin' but you're wastin' your time
You're not playin' nothin' that I don't already know
Well baby did I ever tell you that you got what it takes
And every time you tuck me in your arms I shake
I wonder why I wonder why I guess it's love love love love
[ steel ] Well now don't you know you send me...
I guess it's love love love love I guess it's love love love love

NOT EVEN FRIENDS
(Jimmy John)
« © '62 Unart Catalog, BMI / Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »

Imagine we're married and we're not even friends
You're always right and I'm so wrong and I always have been
You won't listen and our love is dying within
You're always right and I'm so wrong and we're living in sin
Imagine we're married and we're not even friends
We loved but we were wed with love so kind and true
Now I wish I were dead and I wish I were too
You're always right and I'm so wrong it's again and again
Imagine we're married and we're not even friends
[ fiddle - steel ] We loved but we were wed...
Imagine we're married and we're not even friends

LOOKING BACK TO SEE
(Jim Ed Brown - Maxine Brown)
« © '54 Dandelion Music, BMI »

I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see
If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me
You were cute as you could be standin' looking back at me
And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company

One Sunday afternoon as I was riding down the street
I met a cute little girl all dressed up so sweet
And the way that she was stacked I wish I'd've had a Cadillac
For who would notice me just drivin' this model T

I was looking back to see...

Listen baby now it's okay with me
Cause in your model T you're as cute as you can be
If you'll take me for a ride I will set close by your side
And I will guarantee we'll have fun man alive

I was looking back to see...

Oh me oh me oh gee oh gee
Perhaps you'd notice me if I wadn't drivin' this model T

I was looking back to see...

WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE
(Roger Miller - Bill Anderson)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »

Your world was so different from mine don't you see
We just couldn't be close though we tried
We both reached for heavens but ours weren't the same
That's what happens when two worlds collide

Your world was made up of things sweet and good
My world could never fit in oh I wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried
That's what happens when two worlds collide
[ piano ] Your world was made up...

I love everything about you it's all plain to see
You gotta let me hold you longer you gotta let our love grow stronger
I want to be where you're gonna be tonight

BABY YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES
(Clyde Otis - Brook Benton - Murray Stein)
« © '62 Clyde Otis Music, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »

Well it takes more than a robin to make the winter go
And it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow
Well it takes two hearts a cookin' to make a fire grow
And baby you've got what it takes

You know it takes a lot of kissin' to make a romance bloom
Yeah yeah it takes a lot of lovin' to make my life complete
Yeah it takes a lot of woman to knock me off of my feet
And baby you've got what it takes

Yeah I said mm mm mm ah ah mm mm mm
You know honey you've got just what it takes

It takes more than an effort to stay away from you
And it'd take more than a lifetime yeah to prove that I'll be true
Well it takes somebody special to make me say I do
And baby you've got what it takes

C'mon now ah ah mm mm mm ah ah mm mm mm
You know honey you've got just what it takes

Because it takes more than an effort...
And baby you've got what it takes

I DON'T HEAR YOU
(Buck Owens)
« © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »

I hear the bluebirds singing I hear the robins too
I hear the church bells ringing oh but I don't hear you

I see little things mark his and hers a constant reminder we're through
I hear the rain on my window oh but I don't hear you
[ piano ] I hear the children playing I hear the clock striking two
I hear the mailman whistling oh but I don't hear you

I see little things...
