CRY CRY DARLING

(Jimmy Newman - Jimmy D. Miller)
« © '53 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Cry cry darling that's what I do if you'd leave me with the blues
Cry cry darling that's all I do if it's you I should lose
For me there'd be no moonlight if ever we should part
Cry cry darling that's what I do cause you're the one in my heart
[ guitar ] My eyes will cry and never dry if you should go
[ guitar ] When shadows creep I'll just weep all night I know
You know how much I'd miss you if ever we should part
Cry cry darling that's all I do cause you're the one that's in my heart
Cry cry darling that's all I do cause you're the one in my heart

HE'LL HAVE TO GO

(Joe Allison - Audrey Allison)
« © '59 Central Songs, BMI »
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

Whisper to me tell me do you love me true
Or is he holding you the way I do
Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him he'll have to go

You can't say the words I wanna hear while you're with another man
If you want me answer yes or no darling I will understand

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone...
Yes you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

MY BLUE HEAVEN

(George Whiting - Walter Donaldson)
« © '55 George Whiting Publishing, ASCAP / Donaldson Publishing, ASCAP »
When whippoorwills call and evening is nigh
I hurry to my blue heaven
I turn to the right a little white light
With you to my blue heaven

You'll see a smiling face a fireplace a cozy room
A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom
Just Molly and me and baby makes three
We're happy in my bue heaven
[ guitar + piano ] You'll see a smiling face a fireplace a cozy room...

ALMOST

(Vic McAlpin - Jack Toombs)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Almost you fell in love with me
Almost you were my bride to be
But each promise that was made
You have broken and betrayed
And left me with a faded memory
Almost my precious dreams came true
Almost you whispered dear I do
But someone new came by and you left me here to cry
Oh how close we were almost
Almost I heard the church bells ring
Almost I heard the choir sing
But I hear now instead all those unkind words you said
I remember every little thing
Almost your heart I did possess
Almost you brought me happiness
My dreams just won't come true
And there's nothing I can do
Oh how close we were almost
Oh how close we were almost

WHEN I LOST YOU

(Irving Berlin)
« © '55 Irving Berlin Music, ASCAP »
I lost the sunshine and roses
I lost the heavens of blue
I lost the beautiful rainbow
I lost the morning dew
I lost the angel who gave me summer
The whole winter through
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness
When I lost you
[ strings ] I lost the beautiful rainbow...

WHEN I GROW TOO OLD TO DREAM

(Oscar Hammerstein - Sigmund Romberg)
« © '54 Robbins Catalog, ASCAP »
When I grow too old to dream I have you to remember
But when I grow too old to dream your love will live in my heart

So kiss me my love and so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream your love will live in my heart
[ strings ] So kiss me my love and so let us part...
And when I grow too old to dream your love will live in my heart

MY HEART CRIES FOR YOU

(Carl Sigman - Percy Faith)
« © '50 Drolet Music, ASCAP / Major Songs, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
My heart cries for you sighs for you dies for you
And my arms long for you please come back to me

If you're in Arizona I'll follow you
If you're in Minnesota I'll be there too
You'll have a million chances to start anew
Because my love is endless for you

My heart cries for you sighs for you dies for you...

The bloom has left the roses since you left me
The birds have left my window since you left me
I'm lonely as a sailboat that's lost at sea
I'm lonely as a human can be

My heart cries for you sighs for you dies for you...
Cause my heart cries for you

MY MELANCHOLY BABY

(George A. Norton - Ernie Burnett - Maybelle E. Watson)
« © '44 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP / Jerry Vogel Music, ASCAP »
Come sweetheart mine don't sit and pine
Tell me of the cares that make you feel so blue
What have I done answer me hon
Have I ever said an unkind word to you

My love is true and just for you
I'd do almost anything at anytime
Dear when you sigh or when you cry
Something seems to grip this very heart of mine

So come to me my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don't feel blue
All your fears are foolish fancy
Maybe you know dear that I'm in love with you

Every cloud must have a silver lining
Waited until that sun shines through
Smile my honey dear while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too

LET ME BE THE ONE

(W.S. Stevenson - Paul Blevins - Joe Hobson)
« © '53 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Let me be the one to walk with you
When you want somebody to talk with you
Anything that makes you happy I wanna do
Oh darling let me be the one

Let me be the one who means the most
The one you wanna love and call your own
And when you choose your partner I wanna be the choice
Oh please let me be the one

Let me be the one to sit with you
And when you want some lovin' I'll know just what to do
Lots of lots of huggin' and a kiss or two
You've gotta let me be the one

Let me be the one to take you out
To your favorite places you have no doubt
And when the evening's gone with a kiss goodnight
Oh please let me be the one
[ piano ] Let me be the one to share with you
All your little pleasures and sorrows too
In all kinds of weather I wanna be with you
Oh please let me be one

Let me be the one to hold your hand
When the preacher says do you take this man
All these happy thoughts will mean so much fun
If you'll only let me be the one
If you'll only let me be the one

I DON'T KNOW WHY (I JUST DO)

(Roy Turk - Fred E. Ahlert)
« © '31 Cromwell Music, ASCAP / Fred Ahlert Music, ASCAP / Pencil Mark Music, ASCAP »
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why I just do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why you just do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why I just do

(I don't know why I love you like I do...
[ piano ] I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why I just do
I don't know why I just do

SHE THINKS I STILL CARE

(Dickey Lee - Steve Duffy)
« © '62 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
She thinks I still care

Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of her lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care

But if she's happy thinking I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
But how could she ever be so foolish
Where would she get such an idea

Just because I asked a friend about her just
Because I spoke her name somewhere
Just bacause I saw her then went all to pieces
She thinks I still care
She thinks I still care
