I GET LONELY IN A HURRY
(George Jones - Johnny Mathis - Virginia Franks)
« © '64 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »

Well I get lonely in a hurry if you left for a minute
I go crazy inside while you were gone
Yes I get lonely in a hurry if you left for another
I don't think I could take it very long

There would be so many little teardrops fall
I don't think that I could count them all
And I know a heart could never ache like mine
If I couldn't love you all the time

Cause I get lonely in a hurry...
[ guitar ] If you ever took your love away from me I'd die
I don't think that I might live in memories
And for sure I know that I would lose my mind
If I couldn't love you all the time

Cause I get lonely in a hurry...
I don't think I could take it very long

BOOK OF MEMORIES
(Billy Austin)

You've stolen my world from under me my cheating end deceving me
And now you've gone and set me free it's in my book of memories

Inside the book of pages black with photographs that take me back
I hide the dreams that used to be here in my book of memories

The photograph that shows a bride and a man with joy he could not hide
And one of a boy on his daddy's knee it's in my book of memories

Inside the book of pages black...

(Alex Zanetis)

Yes I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah mhm oh yeah
I'm gonna start in the hall take the pictures off the wall and burn 'em
Move the chairs around take the window curtains down and burn 'em
Everything I see reminds me you were here
Yes I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah

The candle of your set you gave me on the night of my birthday
The records that you bought the hi-fi we loved to play
The decorating man will come and rearrange them
Yes I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah
[ guitar ] Take the carpet off the floor throw it out the door it's filled with tears
Everything I find that bring you to my mind must disappear
Every night I dream I'll dream of someone new
Yes I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you oh yeah
Mhm oh yeah mhm oh yeah

RACE IS ON
(Don Rollins)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI / Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »

Well I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake
And you might say that I was taking it hard oh she wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow when I may break right down and bawl

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back they're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the running true love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all
[ guitar ] One day I ventured in love never once suspectin' what the final result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning and finding that you're gone from me
Cause there's ache and pain in my heart for today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her and I came out in second place

Now the race is on...

LEAST OF ALL
(Sonny James - Carole Smith)
« © '64 Mike Curb Music, BMI »

(Oh leat of all least of all you)

Who in all this world did I think would be untrue
Oh oh least of all least of all you
Who did I expect to laugh and tell me we were through
Oh oh least of all least of all you

You who was so unstanding you who said to me
We would always be together through eternity
Who know but I love to see hurt the way I do
Oh oh least of all least of all you

You who was so unstanding...
Oh oh least of all least of all you

GONNA HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH YOU FRIEND
(Oney Wheeler)
« © '65 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »

Well I just got a letter from a friend
That bettered himself by traveling around
Well he struck it rich by diggin' a ditch
In the hills outside of town
The pretty girl he misses called Cindy Lou
Well I want one like her too
If I can't find a girl like Cindy Lou
I'm gonna have a little talk with you friend
I'm gonna have a little talk with you

Cindy Lou Cindy Lou well I want one like her too
If I can't find a girl like Cindy Lou
I'm gonna have a little talk with you friend
I'm gonna have a little talk with you
[ guitar ] You said her hair was black as coal
And hung nearly to the ground
And her eyes would sparkle just like the gold
That was flying all around
You said there's a lotta pretty girls you knew
Could you help me find one too
If I can't find a girl like Cindy Lou
I'm gonna have a little talk with you friend
I'm gonna have a little talk with you

Cindy Lou Cindy Lou...
[ guitar ] I'm gonna hop on my pony ride where they don't know me
And leave behind me all my bills
I got a can full of beans and a whole lotta greens
Way up there in them hills
I'll have it made just layin' in the shade
Way up there in the blue
And if all of my dreams don't come true
I'm gonna have a little talk with you friend
I'm gonna have a little talk with you

Cindy Lou Cindy Lou...

I'm gonna have a little talk with you friend
I'm gonna have a little talk with you
I'm gonna have a little talk with you friend
I'm gonna have a little talk with you

I'VE BEEN KNOWN TO CRY
(Eddie Hallowell)
« © '65 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »

Oh I've been known to cry for kisses that you gave me
All those arms that used to hold me tight
Though I tell my heart that I don't miss you
I've been known to cry for you at night

I might say that I don't miss you I was glad you said goodbye
Make believe I might be lonely
But my heart knows that I've been known to cry

Oh I've been known...
[ fiddle - steel ] I might say you left no wonders that I found somebody new
Make believe that I don't win you
That I've been known to cry because I still love you

Oh I've been known...

(Buck Owens)

Oh the sun's gonna shine in my life once more love's gonna live here again
Things're gonna be the way they were before love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here love's gonna live here love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness only happiness love's gonna live here again
[ guitar ] I hear bells a ringin' I hear birds a singin' love's gonna live here again
I hear bees a hummin' and I know the day's a comin' love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here...
[ guitar ] Love's gonna live here...

GOLD AND SILVER
(Shirley Legate)
« © '58 Mike Curb Music, BMI »

Gold and silver have I none I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none I can give you love

Don't have a gold mine or a mansion haven't even got you a finger ring
Deep in my heart there's a little secret now I'm gonna share it with you

Gold and silver have I none...

They can have the gold in Fort Knox Kentucky as far as we're gonna stand on love
I knew a man once had lots of money cried every night for love

Gold and silver have I none...

I'd rather have a sweet girl's love than to hold a rich man's gold
Don't have a penny in our pockets I know we're gonna live on love

Gold and silver have I none...

HOLIDAY FOR LOVE
(Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker - Webb Pierce)
« © '57 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »

I'd like to make everyday with you a holiday for love
Every hour of the day you're all I'm a thinkin' of
All week along when you're gone I sit around so blue
I just can't wait on Saturday that's my holiday with you

Monday Tuesday Wednesday wonder if you miss me too
Thursday Friday Saturday making plans just to be with you
Oh I'm a gonna be so sweet to you neath the moon above
I'd like to make everyday with you a holiday for love
[ guitar ] Well I'd like to make everyday with you...
I'd like to make everyday with you a holiday for love

SHE'S MINE
(George Jones - Jack Ripley)
« © '64 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »

I won't say that I'm the only one who loves her
I can't say I make her happy all the time
There's someone she can't forget I know she never will and yet
As far as my heart's concerned she's mine

She never once has told me that she needs me
She forgets when I'm around her all the time
There are words I try to say when she turns and walks away
But as far as my heart's concerned she's mine

She's mine and yet I know someday I'll lose her
But she'll never take this happiness I've found
I know it may sound foolish when I tell you
That I'm satisfied just having her around

Even when she's in my arms I know she's lonely
Wish that I could take that someone from her mind
But since her mother left our world she's been daddy's little girl
She's a baby I'm her daddy and she's mine
She's a baby I'm her daddy and she's mine

WHERE DOES A LITTLE TEAR COME FROM
(Marge Barton - Fred McRae)
« © '65 Mimosa Publishing, BMI »

Where does a little tear come from
Where does a little tear come from
It comes from a heart that's been broken apart
That's where a little tear comes from

Where does the broken heart come from
Where does the broken heart come from
It comes when you find that you love the roving kind
That's where the broken heart comes from

Where does the roving kind come from
Where does the roving kind come from
From the wild and restless river that wanders on forever
That's where the roving kind comes from

Where does the restless river come from
Where does the restless river come from
It comes from little tears that I shed through the years
That's where the restless river comes from
Where does a little tear come from
