PLEASE HELP ME I'M FALLING

(Don Robertson - Hal Blair)
« © '59 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Don Robertson Music, ASCAP »
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk through
Turn away from me darling I'm begging you to
Please help me I'm falling in love with you
[ piano ] I belong to another whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever to have and to hold
I can never be free dear but when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing the will to be true

Please help me I'm falling and that would be sin
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk in
For I mustn't want you but darling I do
Please help me I'm falling in love with you

MY OLD HOMETOWN

(Hoyt Johnson - Kermit Barrett)
« © '60 Sanama Music, BMI »
I've seen Big Ben in London town the lights of gay Paris
The charming seems the foreign lands leave golden memory
I've seen the gleam in harbor lights from on the ocean blue
But the place I'm longing most to see is my old hometown and you

I've walked the streets of Tokio the beach of Waikiki
I've rambled all the world around I've sailed the seven seas
I've seen the town of great Reneau the land of mansions too
But the place I'm longing most to see is my old hometown and you
[ guitar ] I've seen the deserts burning sand blue mountains great and tall
I've seen the wonders of the world the wrippling waters fall
I've seen the lovely Carabbian and her in Cheyenne View
But the place I'm longing most to see is my old hometown and you

I'M SO TIRED OF GOIN' HOME ALL BY MYSELF

(Pete Hunter)
« © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'm so tired of goin' home all by myself
Please darling don't place my love on the shelf
The day you'll say I do will be the day my dreams come true
Cause I'm so tired of goin' home all by myself

Please don't let others turn your love to hay pay
No mind my dear to what they say
You know my love is true yes you know I love just you
And if it takes a hundred years you know I'll wait

If you want me now's the time to tell me dear
We've waited now these oh so many years
I need you every way I'm so lonely night and day
And I know I've shed at least a million tears

Cause I'm so tired of goin' home all by myself
Please darling don't place my love on the shelf
The day you say I do will be the day my dreams come true
But tonight I'm goin' home all by myself

IT'S A LITTLE MORE LIKE HEAVEN

(Hoyt Atkins - Jim Atkins)
« © '57 E & M Publishing, BMI »
I have sailed the peaceful water salty ocean deep and blue
Felt the rapture of the dawning thrilled through sunset's golden view
I've sought above the mountain peeks for valleys great and wide
But it's a little more like heaven by your side

It's a little more like heaven where you are
I have sought for happiness both near and far
But my search for love was through the day that I met you
Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are
[ guitar ] I have watched the crystal raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds have flown away
I've adored the clinging roses round my mountain home so dear
But it's a little more like heaven when you're near

It's a little more like heaven where you are...
[ guitar ] I've been tempted for a moment by your lure and magic charms
Of a fickle flame and beauty while waltzin' in her arms
I cherrished mem'ries of the past of friends so kind and true
But it's a little more like heaven here with you

It's a little more like heaven where you are...

LIVIN' ALONE

(Wayne P. Walker)
« © '57 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
(Living alone living alone)

I may be wealthy with more than my share
I may be able to go anywhere
I may own a kingdom and sit on a throne
Still I'll be lonely while I'm livin' alone
I can follow the bright lights keep a smile on my face
I can travel this whole world but not get any place

I need you near me to stick by my side
Please give me true love and don't shatter my pride
If you should leave me all the dreams I have known
Will never come true while I'm livin' alone
[ guitar ] I need you near me to stick by my side...

You been gone just seven days but it seems like seven years

Hmm hmm hmm hmm I'm lonely...
[ guitar ] I know I was doing things that I shouldn't do
Cross my heart I'll make commands cause I'm in love with you
Think it over in your mind please have sympathy

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm I'm lonely...
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm I do

SEND ME THE PILLOW THAT YOU DREAM ON

(Hank Locklin)
« © '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Fon't you know that I still care for you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I'll share your love in dreams that once were true
So send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
[ guitar ] I'd waited so long for you to write me
But just a mem'ry's all that's left of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

(I'd waited so long for you to write me
But just a mem'ry's all that's left of you)
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

BLUES IN ADVANCE

(Nell Drummond)
« © '59 Hollis Music, BMI »
I get the blues as we dance
I get the blues in advance
For I know you'll be gone and I'll be here alone
So I get the blues in advance

Some get the blues from a song
Some when love has come and gone
You don't know how I cry when you tell me goodbye
So I get the blues in advance
[ guitar ] As I think of our past romance
I get the blues in advance
There's no hope for me now you will change dear somehow
So I get the blues in advance

WHY DON'T YOU HAUL OFF AND LOVE ME

(Wayne Raney - Lonnie Glosson)
« © '57 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
They say love will get you at the age of twenty-three
I'm not telling my age but something got a hold on me
I'm just craving some loving in the old fashion way
Honey linger near and listen to all I have to say

Why don't you haul off and love me one more time
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turning blind
If you don't cuddle up and love me like I want you to do
I'm gonna haul off and die over you

Now darling come a little closer put your little hand in mine
Let me feel your arms about me honey please don't change your mind
For my lovesick heart's a throbbing as I hold you close to mine
Found that there's a lotta lovin' waitin' for me on the line

Why don't you haul off and love me one more time...
[ guitar ] Now I can feel your warm lips near me hear you breathe so soft and fine
I can feel the matrimony crawlin' up and down my spine
I don't believe this love will hurt you cause it feels so nice and kind
It seems mighty close to heaven when your love is on the line

Why don't you haul off and love me one more time...

WHEN THE BAND PLAYS THE BLUES

(John D. Loudermilk)
« © '59 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Go on tonight to the party with him
And while you're dancing so closely with him
Don't let me cross your mind unless you choose
To think of me when the band plays the blues

Listen to the words and to the melody
And they will tell you just exactly how it felt to me
To see you go to the party with him
And know you're dancing right now so close to him
Go on have fun while the beat really moves
But think of me when the band plays the blues
[ guitar ] Listen to the words and to the melody...

HIDING IN MY HEART

(Ken Hodges)
« © '59 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You were hiding in my heart you were in that way down deep
I never knew that you were there why I must have been asleep
Now I see that I was wrong a foolish boy in the dark
And while I was kissing others you were hiding in my heart

I hardly knew you I didn't care
Without any warning one day you were there
Now my heart beats just for you we must never be apart
I found the love that I've been missing you were hiding in my heart

I hardly knew you I didn't care...

FOREIGN CAR

(Lawton Williams)
« © '59 Western Hills Music, BMI »
There's nothin' in the world that pleases me
Like a pretty little girl from across the sea
But the thing that I want a little too far
I got myself a foreign car

Cause you can't get in and you can't get out
Unless you do some squirmin' about
Maybe you're not a lover but in case you are
You can't do much lovin' in a foreign car

You can fill up the tank and drive all day
On a gallon of gas you'd go a long long way
But if it's a love buggy you're looking for
Don't waste your time in a foreign car

Cause you don't have a room for your heart to beat
All crowded up in a bucket seat
Well the pretty moon a shinin' up among the stars
Love should have suffer in a foreign car
[ guitar ] Take a ride with me tonight after dark
See the little foreign buggys down in the park
I cannot trigger up but they go that far
You can't make love in a foreign car

Cause you don't have a room for your heart to beat...
