BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN

(Fred Rose) « © '45 Milene Music, ASCAP »
In the twilight glow I see her blue eyes crying in the rain
As we kissed goodbye and parted I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember blue eyes crying in the rain
[ strings - horns ] Some day when we meet up yonder we'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain

AM I THAT EASY TO FORGET

(Carl Belew - W.S. Stevenson) « © '59 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
They say you've found somebody new but that won't stop my loving you
I just can't let you walk away forget the love I had for you

Yes I could find somebody too but I don't want no one but you
How could you leave without regret am I that easy to forget

Before you leave be sure you'll find you want his love much more than mine
Cause I'll just say we've never met if I'm that easy to forget
[ strings - horns ] Before you leave be sure you'll find...
Am I that easy to forget

WE WASTED OUR TIME

(John D. Loudermilk) « © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
We wasted our time wasted our time
When we were young and our hearts were entwined
Two silly kids whi didn't know what they had
But wasted their time wasted their time
Wasted their time ain't it sad
[ organ ] We wasted our time wasted our time
We confused fun with love when we were young
We let true love slip through laughing lips and run away
We wasted our time wasted our time
Wasted our time wouldn't you say
[ organ ] So are we wasting our time wasting our time
Trying to find what we left far behind
Oh how I hope oh how I pray that we're not
Cause if you're wasting your time and I'm wasting mine
Then we're both wasting time we ain't got

SHE CALLED ME BABY

(Harlan Howard) « © '61 Central Songs, BMI »
She called me baby baby all night long
Used to hold and kiss me till the early dawn
Then one day I awoke and she was gone
Ain't no more baby baby all night long

She called me baby baby all night long
Kissed my tears away when things just turned out wrong
Lord what I'd give if she'd just come on come on back home
And call me baby baby all night long
[ strings ] She called me baby baby all night long
Built me up so high and made me feel so strong
Now each time in dreams when time just drags along
I still hear baby baby all night long
I still hear baby baby all night long
I still hear baby baby all night long

EVERYONE BUT YOU

(John D. Loudermilk) « © '62 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Everybody knows that I love you everybody knows that it's true
Everyone's aware that I really care everyone that is but you

Everybody knows that I need you everybody knows that it's true
Everyone is wise that you're in my eyes everyone that is but you

Mary Lou and Jerry too know I'm acting strange
They wonder why you haven't noticed the change
Even your best friends they know it's true
Why oh why can't you see it too

Everybody knows that I love you everybody knows that it's true
Everyone's informed that you make me warm everyone that is but you

HERE COMES MY BABY BACK AGAIN

(Dottie West - Bill West) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Here comes more tears to cry here comes more heartaches by
Here comes my baby back again
Here comes more misery here comes old memory
Here comes my baby back again

My arms are open wide to let more hurt inside
Here comes my baby back again
She's sorry once again once more I'll understand
Here comes my baby back again
[ strings ] My arms are open wide...
Here comes ol' baby back again

I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU

(Don Gibson) « © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours that we once knew
Though long ago still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you there's no use to try
Pretend there's someone new I can't live a lie
I can't stop wanting you the way that I do
There's only been one love for me that one love is you
[ horns - piano ] I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind
To live in memories of those old lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE

(Roger Miller - Bill Anderson) « © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
(That's what happenes when two worlds collide)

Your world was so different from mine don't you see
And we couldn't be close though we tried
We both reached for heavens but ours weren't the same
That's what happens when two worlds collide

Your world was made up of things sweet and good
And my world could never fit in yours I wish it could
Now two hearts lie in shambles and oh they've cried
But that's what happenes when two worlds collide
[ strings ] Your world was made up of things sweet and good...

OH HOW SAD

(John D. Loudermilk) « © '62 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
The one you see me kiss the one you see me hug
Is really not the one that I really love
Oh oh how sad how sad to know the one you love you'll never have

The one you see me date and take out for a steak
Has never thrilled my soul and never shall
Oh oh how sad how sad to know the one you love hmm you'll never have

It's not easy easy to go go through life if you know
There's not a chance on earth to have the one that you love so

So if you see me out you'll know that I am out
To keep from thinking bout the one I love
Oh oh how sad how sad to know the one you love doo doo doo you'll never have

WELCOME TO MY WORLD

(Ray Winkler - John Hathcock) « © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI / Nellrae Music, BMI »
Welcome to my world won't you come on in
Miracles I see still happen now and then
Come on and step into my heart leave your little cares behind
Ah welcome to my world built with you in mind

Knock and the door will open and seek and you will find
Ask and you'll be given the key to this world of mine
Cause I've been waiting here my arms unfurled
Yeah and waitin' just for you so welcome to my world
[ strings ] See I've been waitin' just for you welcome to my world
(Welcome to my world)

Been a real pleasure singin' these great country songs
About everybody's favorite past time and love
This last one is I feel one of the great contemporary ballads of our time
Titled Honey

HONEY

(Bobby Russell) « © '68 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twig
And then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came running in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
I surprised her with a puppy kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' over some sad and silly late late show
And honey I miss you and I'm being good and I'd love to be with you if only I could

She wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that I'd be mad but what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly and found her crying in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robins sing she went away
And honey I miss you and I'm being good and I'd love to be with you if only I could

One day while I was at home while she was there and all alone the angels came
Now all I have is memories of honey and I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage where honey lived and honey played and love grew up
A small cloud passes overhead and cries down in the flower bed that honey loved
See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
