Got nine million nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine tears to go
And then I don't know if I'll be over you
The sun didn't shine this morning it's been raining the whole day through
Suddenly without warning you found somebody new
That's when the first tear came falling from my eyes
I'm beginning to feel the pain seeing nothing but cloudy skies
Got nine million nine hundred...
Well I'll be over you
You're out tonight with your new love I'm far far from your mind
Trying to get over you love chould take a whole lifetime
I can't believe you could want anybody else so no one could take my place
At least that's what I keep telling myself as the tears fall down my face
Got nine million nine hundred...
I'll be over you
Got nine million nine hundred...
Got nine million nine hundred...

I NEVER WILL GET OVER YOU
(Wayland Holyfield - Dickey Lee)
« © '76 PolyGram Int, ASCAP / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Those hard feelings nowhere she'd need to say
Things like this they happened every day
We're two grown people and neither one's to blame
Sometimes things just work out this way
Well I never will get over you who could there ever will be with you
You're part of me and whatever time may do I never will get over you
[ steel ]
Please don't be sorry we shared a lot of life but nothing last forever though they say
Don't you worry really I'll be all right sometimes things just turn out this way
But I never will get over you...
No I never will get over you

ANGELS ROSES AND RAIN
(Bob Morrison - Jim Zerface - Bill Zerface)
« © '75 Combine Music, BMI »
Last night my little girl came to my bedroom I heard her whisper softly from the door
Daddy I can't sleep cause I miss mama does mama miss me like she did before
I took her in my arms and then I told her darling your mama misses you the same
But little girls and daddys cry with teardrops angels cry with roses and with rain
Angels cry roses and rain angels don't know any pain
So darling when you hear your mama's name think of angels roses and rain and rain
Angels roses and rain
[ steel ]
This morning she was playing in the kitchen then she took her doll and went outside
I watched her as she walked among the roses I saw a little sadness in her eyes
But then I heard a raindrop on the window and softly as the cloud that moved above
My little girl picked up her doll and whispered that's the way my mama sends her love
Angels cry roses and rain...
Angels cry roses and rain...

SMILE AS YOU GO BY
(Paul Craft)
« © '76 Black Sheep Music, BMI / Screen Gems Music, BMI »
If you can't love me till forever I'd never hold you and I won't cry
Leave me gently when it's over if you can't stop smile as you go by
I could love you like I found you with the sunshine in your eyes
I'd never wrap out the dreams around you if you can't stop smile as you go by
If it's forever let me feeling if it's not and still you're satified
Treat me gently when it's over if you can't stop smile as you go by
[ guitar ]
I could love you like I found you...

I'LL BE LEAVING ALONE
(Wayland Holyfield - Dickey Lee)
« © '76 PolyGram Int, ASCAP / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Yes I'll buy you a drink if you'd like me to I might even dance a slow one with you
Lord knows you're a looker and honey what's more
It's not hard to see what you're looking for
You're as tempting a woman as I've ever seen
But there's someone in Tulsa who's trusting in me
She's the mother of my children I'm the rock she leans on
So thank you but no thank you I'll be leaving alone
[ steel ]
As we dance in the shadows you're holding me tight
I can feel the invitation I see in your eyes
And the soft light and the music and the wine's rosey glow
Ain't making it easy for me to say no
Cause you're as tempting a woman...
Thank you but no thank you I'll be leaving alone

MAKIN' LOVE DON'T ALWAYS MAKE LOVE GROW
(Sterling Whipple)
« © '75 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The first time that she said let's start our family
I said hon I've got the whole wide world to see
So come along and be this drifter's lady the next best thing to love is bein' free
She said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
I said not while there's some places left to go yeah
I'd like to love you in Alaska underneath the midnight sun
She said makin' love don't always make love grow didn't you know
Acapulco and the Mexicaly sunshine Hawaii on a rooftop in the rain
Out of Rio De Janeiro on a tramp liner just outside of Paris on a train
And she said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
I said not while there's some places left to go
I'd like to love you in the backseat of a taxi leavin' town
She said makin' love don't always make love grow didn't you know
As we walked one day along the beach of Monterey
A little boy came up and took her by the hand
And said mom is it okay if I go swimmin'
But when he saw his mistake he blushed and ran
I laughed and reached for her but she just stepped away
Through the teardrops in her eyes she tried to smile
Suddenly I knew she'd wait for me no longer and just as suddenly I changed my style
I said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
Someday everybody needs a home
I guess I'm finally learnin' love is more than just a runnin' round
But makin' love is hard to do alone
I said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
Babe I'm gonna take it on my own
See I'm finally learnin' love is more than just a runnin' round
Why makin' love might even make love grow didn't you know

YOURS FOR LIFE
(David Gates)
« © '76 Kipahulu Music, ASCAP »
In this day and age world changes half and twice as fast
Sometimes I get wondering if anything will last
People changing partners like they change the clothes they wear
Maybe I'l old fashioned but darling I still care
And I'm yours for life come and be my lifetime
Came and take the love I have for only one
Yes I'm yours for life come and share my lifetime
Share the world until our day is done
First time that I saw your face I loved you where you stood
In your eyes the kindlyness told me you were good
Then I felt the feeling that I never felt before
Darling if I try and try I could not love you more
And I'm yours for life...
Sometimes I pray that you will always be the way you always are part of me
Cause if I lost you in the winds of change then I would cease to be
And I'm yours for life...

DANNA
(Wayland Holyfield - Dickey Lee)
« © '76 PolyGram Int, ASCAP / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Danna this is the day he's takin' you away from me
And Danna seems only yesterday all your love belonged to me
And now you're walkin' down the aisle you look at me and I try to smile
It's the hardest thing I ever had to do I'm losing you
You're a picture of beauty in your gown of satin white
I know you're happy I see it in your eyes
Oh I've seen this day a comin' till now I never knew
Just how much I'm gonna miss you how much I love you
[ keyboards ]
Danna I watch your misty eyes I'll try not to embrace you
But Danna I never realized that this would be so hard day
And now I hear the preacher say who will get his bride away
And I'll put your hand in his goodbye my world goodbye my little girl
You're a picture of beauty in your gown of satin white
I know you're happy I see it in your eyes mhm mhm

I'M NOT THAT GOOD AT GOODBYE
(Bob McDill - Don Williams)
« © '74 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I don't want to talk it over one more time
No there's not much use in talkin' if you've made up your mind
And darling I don't need to tell you why you know that I'm not that good at goodbye
Lord goodbye just makes it harder anyhow so if you really feel like leavin' do it now
And let me keep a little of my pride you know that I'm not that good at goodbye
[ steel - piano ]
Please don't tell me you're leavin' when you go
Just let me turn my head while you walk out that door
Cause if I see you leavin' I will die you know that I'm not that good at goodbye
Lord goodbye...
You know that I'm not that good at goodbye

I'VE JUST SEEN A FACE
(John Lennon - Paul McCartney)
« © '76 ATV Tunes, ASCAP »
I've just seen a face I can't forget the time or place that we'd just met
She's just the girl for me and I want all the world to see we'd met uh uh uh uh uh
Had it been another day I might have looked the other way I had never been aware
And as it is I dream of her tonight na na na na na na
Falling yes I'm falling and she keeps calling me back again
Falling yes I'm falling and she keeps calling me back again
[ guitar ]
Had it been another day I might have looked the other way I had never been aware
And as it is I dream of her tonight na na na na na na
I have never known the likes of this I've been alone
And I have missed things and kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this la la la la la la
Falling yes I'm falling...
[ steel ]
