TENDER SIDE OF ME

(Becki Bluefield - Ron Criss)
« © '68 Chu-Fin Music, BMI »
You'll always have the tender side of me
Forever in my heart you'll always be
I'll prove my love each day I live you'll see
You'll always have the tender side of me

Tenderness comes easy loving you
With all my heart and soul the way I do
My love for you will never let you see

More than just the tender side of me
[ strings ] My love for you will never let you see
More than just the tender side of me

BEFORE THE NEXT TEARDROP FALLS

(Ben Peters - Vivian Keith)
« © '67 Shelby Singleton Music, BMI »
If he brings you happiness then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if he ever breaks your heart if the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls

Though it hurts to let you go darling I still love you so
And I'll stand by you if ever you should call
And if I should ever hear that he made you shed a tear
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls

I'll be there anytime you need me by your side
To dry away every teardrop that you've cried
If he ever leaves you blue just remember I love you
And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Yes I'll be there before the next teardrop falls

DANNY BOY

(Fred Weatherly)
« © '53 Boosey & Hawkes Music, ASCAP »
Oh Danny boy the pipes the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side

The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you it's you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valleys hushed and white with snow

Yes I'll be here in sunshine or in shadows
Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy I love you so
[ strings ] Yes I'll be here in sunshine or in shadows
Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy I love you so

TOUJOURS MOI (ALWAYS ME)

(Cindy Walker)
« © '60 Bathurst Music, BMI »
When the moon is shining down
Down through the moss covered trees
Never let it see you kiss anyone else but me

Toujours Moi Toujours Moi let it be always me
Toujours Moi Toujours Moi your love belongs to me
[ piano ] When your heart is lonesome
For sweet words of love cherry
Promise me nobody else will tell you those words but me
Toujours Moi...

LONGING TO HOLD YOU AGAIN

(Don Robertson)
« © '63 Don Robertson Music, ASCAP »
All alone here am I so lonely I could cry
Cause I'm longing to hold you again
Missing you is all I do I dream the whole day through
How I'm longing to hold you again

The world is cold the world is grey
You took the sunshine away
You'll never know how empty my arms have been
Till once more you're close to me
As close as we can be
I'll be longing to hold you again
[ piano ] How I'm longing to hold you again
[ guitar ] Yes I'm longing to hold you again
The world is cold the world is grey...
I'll be longing to hold you again

LOVING ARMS

(Wayne P. Walker - Irene Stanton)
« © '64 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Loving arms will wait for you
Sweet sweet dreams that won't come true
I just got to see you one more time
And let these loving arms pretend you're mine

Another love won't set you free
You'll never share a home with me
With loving arms and a heart so blue
Tonight I'll say my last goodbye to you

Loving arms must let you go
Loving arms will miss you so
I've just got to see you one more time
And let these loving arms pretend you're mine
And let these loving arms pretend you're mine

I'M SLOWLY GOING OUT OF YOUR MIND

(Becki Bluefield)
« © '68 Chu-Fin Music, BMI »
I'm slowly a going out of your mind

Lately your kisses are cold they're not the same
Little by little I've watched you change
I stand by helpless while I see all the signs
I'm slowly a going out of your mind

I'm going out of the mind of you who once loved me
You who once needed me wanted me now you ignore me
How did I tell you I must have to find
I'm slowly a going out of your mind

Words from your sweet lips oh how I love you
Have now become just the thing of the past
I stand by helpless knowing I lose you in time
I'm slowly a going out of your mind

I'm going out of the mind of you who once loved me...
I'm slowly a going out of your mind
I'm slowly a going out of your mind

MINUTE YOU'RE GONE

(Jimmy Gateley)
« © '63 Berwick Trial Music, BMI »
The minute you're gone I cry the minute you're gone I die
Before you walk out of sight I'm like a child all alone at night

I stare into emptiness I'm filled with such loneliness
The world goes from right to wrong the minute you're gone

The minute you're gone I see how lonely a man I'll be
My life would be oh so blue if I couldn't be with you

The minute you're gone I pray the minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long the minute you're gone

Baby the minute you're gone I pray the minute you're gone I say...

YOU'VE STILL GOT A PLACE IN MY HEART

(Leon Payne)
« © '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If the one you'd think is true ever turns his back on you
You've still got a place in my heart
If every road you take proves you've made a big mistake
Baby you've still got a place in my heart

If I'm the fool to pray that you'll return some day
Well then I'll know a million fools that love has made that way
If the years should make you cry don't go on and live a lie
Baby you've still got a place in my heart
[ strings ] If the years should make you cry don't go on and live a lie
Baby you've still got a place in my heart

LOVE SONG FOR YOU

(Neal Merritt)
« © '68 Central Songs, BMI »
I am writing this song for you
Let me see do I know what to say
For the old words of love won't do
Let me try to explain it this way

The meek child inherit the earth
And if I should be one of the few
All the wealth I will own won't be worth the joy
I have known loving you

In the night I can reach for your hand
And I know it will always be there
How can I make you understand what it means
Just to know that you care

I can think of what my life would be
If I'd've lived it without knowing you
Though I don't even know the key
I am writing this love song for you

I CAME SO CLOSE TO LIVING ALONE

(Jimmy Dickens - Kent Hunt)
« © '68 Jimmy Dickens Music, BMI »
I came close so close to failure
I came close to losing my home
I know the kids still love me and their mommy
But I came so close to living alone

I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop
But big enough to admit I was wrong
Now I'm trying hard to be the man I oughta be
But I came so close to living alone

I didn't know just how much they meant to me
I guess sometimes a man must be shown
When I think of what I done a chill goes through me
I came so close to living alone
I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop...

LOVIN' YOU (THE WAY I DO)

(Ben Peters)
« © '68 Shelby Singleton Music, BMI »
Everyday darling come what may
I'll go on loving you the way I do

I could have spent a lifetime of loneliness I know
Just searching for a dream I'd never find
But now that I have found you I'll never let you go
I'll give you all the love that's in this heart of mine

Yes lovin' you the way I do
I'll do anything to keep from ever losing you
Everyday darling come what may
I'll go on lovin' you the way I do

No one has better reason to thank the Lord above
For now I know the reason that I live
No man has ever needed a woman's tender love
As much as I have needed all the love you give

Yes lovin' you the way I do...
I'll go on lovin' you the way I do
