SOFTLY

(Ray Griff)
« © '68 Helene Blue Musique, ASCAP »
Softly so softly you stole into my life
Gently you kissed me soft as a feather ever so lightly
Slowly but surely I learned what heaven was
Softly so softly you touched my heart with love
(Slowly but surely) I learned...

TODAY I STARTED LOVING YOU AGAIN

(Merle Haggard - Bonnie Owens)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
Then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun

Cause today I started loving you again...
Yes today I started loving you again

FROM HEAVEN TO HEARTACHE

(Ben Peters)
« © '68 Shelby Singleton Music, BMI »
From heaven to heartache is such a long way to go
From holdin' an angel to onlyness in her soul
I said some things that I didn't mean to say
And then like a fool I turned and just walked away

From heaven to heartache I felt my world turnin' blue
From heaven to heartache I learned how much I need you
I'm sorry if I've made my angel cry and if I ever get by again
From heartache to heaven I'll never leave again

From heaven to heartache I felt my world turnin' blue...

AND THEN

(Gloria Shayne)
« © '68 Regent Music, BMI »
And then I slowly took you in my arms and held you
And then I found your waiting lips and then I kissed you
And then I closed my eyes and heard you say
You never would leave me again
You swore no other arms would ever hold you again
And then how sweet to let my fingertips caress you
And then my jealous heart believed you and I blessed you
And then and then you said I'll love you till I die
And then and then I woke up and then I started to cry
[ piano ] And then and then you said I'll love you till I die
And then and then I woke up and then I started to cry

ALWAYS MISSING YOU

(Jean Chapel - Alda Calongne)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Blind Squirrel Music, BMI »
I'm always missing you every hour I'm not kissing you
I'm filled with loneliness mixed with my happiness
I'm seven shades of blue till the waiting at last is through
Please darling miss me too like I'm missing you

I miss you when the purple shadows cover up the day
I miss you when the morning light tells me you're still away
I'm always missing you every hour I'm not kissing you
Until next time I do I'll be missing you

Your mem'ry gently walks upon the meadows of my heart
To bring this message though you're gone we're just a kiss apart
I'm always missing you every hour I'm not kissing you
Until next time I do I'll be missing you

HAPPY FACE

(Becki Bluefield)
« © '68 Chu-Fin Music, BMI »
When the key turns in my front door then the real me starts to show
I take off my happy face and let the teardrops flow
The same old hurt of loving you and knowing that you're gone
Is always here to greed me when I come home alone

I'm happy-go-lucky when I'm out with the crowd
When they ask me about you I just laugh out loud
This old mask that I keep wearing goes with me every place
To keep a hurt from showing I wear my happy face

These walls that surround me I'm glad that they can't speak
Because at night I cry and talk to them until I fall asleep
These old floors that I keep walking I'm glad they can't start talking
Or my friends would know the secret I'm trying to keep

But I'm happy-go-lucky when I'm out with the crowd...

WHERE THE BLUE OF THE NIGHT MEETS THE GOLD OF THE DAY

(Roy Turk - Fred Ahlert - Crosby)
« © '58 Cromwell Music, ASCAP / Fred Ahlert Music, ASCAP / Pencil Mark Music, ASCAP »
Where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day
Someone waits for me
And the gold of her hair frowns the blue of her eyes
Like a halo tenderly
If only I could see her oh how happy I would be
Where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day
Someone waits for me
(If only I could see her) oh how happy I would be
Where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day
Someone waits for me

WITH ONE EXCEPTION

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
« © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
I've seen lots of pretty faces in a million different places
And it's hard for me to keep from doing wrong
Cause you're the cutest and the sweetest you always dress the neatest
With one exception and she's waiting at home

If I'd let temptation fill me I know your kiss would thrill me
And how easy it would be to lead you on
You're such a lovely girl you're perfect for my world
With one exception and she's waiting at home

Sometimes I've almost cheated after all I'm just a man
Can't you see my world is wrapped up in a golden wedding band
I'd beg steal or borrow and you'd be mine tomorrow
With one exception and she's waiting at home

I'd beg steal or borrow and you'd be mine tomorrow
With one exception and she's waiting at home

TURN OLE NOTHING LOOSE

(Charlie Craig)
« © '68 Stringer Publishing, BMI »
Well I don't understand what you expect me to do
I've done everything I possibly can and then a little extra too
But still you turn up your nose I guess it's just no use
I'd sit I'd quit ole nothing's gonna get so turn ole nothing loose

Turn me loose let me go you don't want me anymore
Step aside let ole nothing out the door

I guess you're too high class for a little ole nothing like me
We both ought to know by now that I can't be what you want me to be
You drove me up to settled rules but you do what you choose
I can't be no substitute so turn ole nothing loose

Turn me loose let me go you don't want me anymore...

You don't like the way I talk the way I comb my hair
You don't appreaciate the things I do you don't like the clothes I wear
I'm supposed to act like a millionaire but I ain't got no dough
You don't think I'm nothing so let ole nothing go

Turn me loose let me go you don't want me anymore...
Step aside let ole nothing out the door

IMAGINATION RUNNING WILD

(B.J. Deaton)
« © '68 Court Of Kings, BMI »
Just like all the other times as we entered
Across the white dance floor then to the bar
I thought I saw him smile in your direction
Or was my imagination running wild

With ten minutes he had asked you for a dance love
And oh too soon you said you'd like it fine
I thought you danced too close to be strangers
Or was my imagination out of line

As the night grew old the wine had made you careless
It seemed to me that he was just your style
I said let's go home before there's some heartache
You said your imagination's running wild

My mind was filled with cruel and painful visions
But afraid I might be wrong I tried to smile
Then you left with him and all my fears were happ'ning
And my poor imagination just ran wild
Yes my poor imagination just ran wild

IT HARDLY HURTS ANYMORE

(Ben Raleigh - Dolores Fuller)
« © '68 Wise Brothers Music, ASCAP / Bienstock Publishing, ASCAP »
It hardly hurts anymore the heartache's almost gone away
It hardly hurts anymore except each night and every day
The day you walked out the door the pain went on and on and on
It hardly hurts anymore except each minute that you're gone
It's really not as bad as it seemed at the start

I'm glad that all I have is a broken heart
It hardly hurts anymore if you don't count these tears of mine
It hardly hurts anymore except for all the time
(It's really not as bad as it seemed at the start)

I'm glad that all I have is a broken heart...
It hardly hurts anymore except for all the time
