MY FIRST DAY WITHOUT YOU

(Charlie Williams - Scott Turner) « © '65 Central Songs, BMI »
Gettin' up was the first mistake I made today
Maybe if I'd stayed in bed I wouldn't hurt this way
For now I'll have to face the world admit that we're all through
And begin my first day without you
[ guitar ] Going out was the next mistake I made today
I tried to find a place to hide to pass a time away
I knew I couldn't stand to see someone we once knew
All alone my first day without you
[ piano - steel ] Going home was the last mistake I made today
He's gone and now you're all alone the silence seems to say
A million lonely nights to all I can look forward to
As I end my first day without you
As I end my first day without you

SEND ME NO ROSES

(Hank Mills) « © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
(Send me no roses what I need most is you)

Oh without fail everyday since you went away
The doorbell rings you're sending roses again
In my room all petals fall but darling that's not all
I read your card then tears began to fall

Send me no roses please no more roses
Roses are red I know but through my tears they look blue
Send me no roses please no more roses
Your roses can't hold me what I need most is you
[ piano ] Send me no roses...

TIP OF MY FINGERS

(Bill Anderson) « © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I had your love on the tip of my fingers
But that was as close as I came

My eyes held a vision of sweet lips
Yeelding beneath my command
I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands
But I let it slip right through my hands

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should've known right from the start
It's a long long way from the tip of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart
[ steel ] Somebody took you...

BETWEEN THE WINDOW AND THE PHONE

(Wanda Jackson - L.D. Allen) « © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Today is a far cry from yesterday
For yestarday the love was mine I need today
I've walked on many miles since you've been gone
Somewhere between the window and the phone

Somewhere between the window and the phone
You'll find me waiting here all alone
I've thought about leaving but I'd go right on grieving
Somewhere between the window and the phone

If the phone should ring I wonder what I'd say
Would I tell you that I love you in the same sweet way
If you look through the window I'll be home
Somewhere between the window and the phone

Somewhere between the window...

IS THIS MY DESTINY

(Helen Carter) « © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Cursed with sorrow pain and woe full of feeling I can't show
Hopeless love what else for me is this my destiny

At night I toss and wonder why I must live while others die
The grave would be escape for me from this my destiny
[ steel + guitar ] I know God surely made for every man somewhere a maid
Someone stole my love from me is this my destiny

At night I toss and wonder...
Fom this my destiny

KICKIN' OUR HEARTS AROUND

(Wanda Jackson) « © '61 Central Songs, BMI »
So let's stop kickin' our hearts around and let's love one another

You called me on the phone but I hang up on you
Then I called back to apologize for doing things I do
You can't understand the things I do or things I say
And I can't accept the way you change from day to day

So let's stop kickin' each others hearts around it's not the thing to do
Let's pick them up and dust them off and start our love anew
Let's be fair let's don't dare try to hurt the other
Let's stop kickin' our hearts around and let's love one another
[ steel ] We've said goodbye a thousand times then make up again
Always coming back for more to see which one will win
I love you and you love me on this we can agree
So let's stop kickin' our hearts around and go on lovingly

Now let's stop kickin' each others hearts...

HAVE I GROWN USED TO MISSING YOU

(Ned Miller) « © '65 Central Songs, BMI »
I haven't cried a tear all day and the hurtin's gone away
Have I finally grown used to mssing you
In the lonely hours tonight will I long to hold you tight
For have I finally grown used to missing you

For I must not let go of the greatest love I'll know
Is there still a chance that you'll come back to me
It would be more than I could take and I know my heart would break
If I've really grown used to missing you
[ steel ] Oh I must not let go...
Have I finally grown used to missing you

SLIPPIN'

(Charles Owen) « © '63 Central Songs, BMI »
Slippin' I feel your love slippin' away
You're growing colder each day I know I'm losing you
Drifting somehow we keep drifting apart
I'm losing my place in your heart inspite of all I can do

Loneliness I feel in every kiss
And when you're holding me you seem far away
Wishing somehow I could find you again
And bring your love back once again but you keep slippin' away

Loneliness I feel in every kiss...

LITTLE CHARM BRACELET

(Wanda Jackson) « © '60 Central Songs, BMI »
Little charm bracelet so lovely to see
Little charm bracelet means so much to me
Never was completed it now lay in the box
Little charm bracelet tells where our story stopped

The first charm you gave was a heart of gold
With it came all your love for me to always hold
I'll always remember with tears in my eyes
The night you gave the little key that locked our hearts so tight
[ piano ] Remember when you went away the gold phone you gave
With this you promised you'd call me every day
But someone must have stepped in and stole your love from me
I'll take the bracelet from my arm it will never be complete

Little charm bracelet...

TAKE ME HOME

(Vaughn Horton) « © '65 Southern Music, ASCAP »
I was wrong in blaming you and the fool for leaving to
If it's too late to say I'm sorry that we're through
Could you search your heart and see if there's still a place for me
If there is come and get me take me home

Take me home take me home
Cause I'm homesick and I'm helpless on my won
Can't you see I'm out of place and ashamed to show my face
Please forgive me come and get me take me home

Take me home...

ONE TEARDROP AT A TIME

(Eddie Miller - Betty West) « © '62 Ensign Music, BMI »
(One teardrop one teardrop)

I know that I've cried a lot today
And my heart's gonna hurt the same old way
Cause I'm losing the love I thought was mine
The heartache's brought one teardrop at a time

One teardrop at a time keeps telling me
That it won't be long until you'll be leaving me
When you go I'm gonna cry one more time
I'll take back my heart one teardrop at a time

No matter how many tears I cried
That old familiar feeling stays inside
My heart for you won't leave just any time
I'll cry you from my heart one teardrop at a time

One teardrop at a time...
