SO GOOD TO BE IN LOVE
(Karen Staley)
« © '87 BMG Songs, ASCAP »
Well it's been a long time since I thought about a man
I never think about maybe givin' him a hand
I don't have to think twice when it comes to you
I only have to ask once for me to say I do
Baby baby you're my world
Present to live here for this here girl
You hung the moon and the stars above
Baby baby so good to be in love
Well you make it so easy you take a second chance
Open up my heart and gamble on romance
I wanna be there every night and every day
When I think about you I get carried away
Baby baby you're my world...
[ guitar ]
Oh baby baby you're my world...
So good to be in love so good to be in love so good to be in love

WORKIN' MAN'S HANDS
(Johnny Pierce - Joanne Christy - Paul Marshall)
« © '87 Hits Music, ASCAP / Bughouse, ASCAP »
I love the hands of the workin' man
Workin' all day in the sun
Every morning there's a mountain to be moved
By the end of the day it's done
I love the hands of my workin' man
Touchin' me tenderly
I can feel the heart of my workin' man
When his hands are holdin' me
Workin' man's hands gentle as moonlight
Workin' man's hands strong as steel
He must of been thinking bout me
When the Lord made my workin' man's hands
Daddy always wanted the best for me
Wanted me to have more than he had
He dreamed of riches and finer things
But I'd rather have a workin' man like my dad
Workin' man's hands gentle as moonlight...
Life can be hard in this world of ours
But it's easier when someone cares
So I'll take the hand of my workin' man
He's the answer to this workin' girl's prayers
Workin' man's hands gentle as moonlight...
Workin' man's hands gentle as moonlight...

YOU SAVED ME
(Curtis Wright)
« © '87 Angel Music, ASCAP »
For so long I've been on my own
Tryin' to find my heart a new home
I'd almost given up content to spend the years
Withering in sorrow anbd drowning in tears
Then you saved me and my wonded pride
Saved me from dying inside
Freed me from those sad memories
Your love reached out and saved me
You have been a godsend to me
He sent you here to set my heart free
No more lonely days and no more sleepless nights
A friend to take what's wrong and make it all right
Then you saved me and my wonded pride...
[ guitar - steel ]
Then you saved me and my wonded pride...

IF MY HEART HAD WINDOWS
(Dallas Frazier)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music »
If my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you
A tear may appear when I hold you near
But that's for the sweet things you do
If my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you
By your side I'll stay till we're old and gray
Reminiscing the moments we knew
If my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you
[ piano ]
A thief couldn't steal the love that I feel
Heaven for me has come true
If my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you
If my heart had windows
You'd see a heart full of love just for you

LITTLE BIT IN LOVE
(Steve Earle)
« © '87 Lorimar Music, ASCAP »
I don't fall in love as a rule
Cause it always made me look like a fool
Well it keeps me up late I can't concentrate
And I pride myself on keeping my cool
But I've got to admit that I'm a little bit in love with you
Now I don't want you gettin' me wrong
Because I don't sit up at night by the phone
But then you come around I let my guard down
And I can't seem to leave you alone
But I'll get over it I'm just a little bit in love with you
Well I tell myself that a little bit of love can't hurt a big girl like me
But I never have heard of a little heartache
And baby that's what's scarin' me
[ guitar ]
So don't you get your hopes up if I call
Because I always catch myself when I fall
But I've got to admit that I'm a little bit in love with you
So don't you get your hopes up if I call...
Yes I've got to admit that I'm a little bit in love with you
Yes I've got to admit that I'm a little bit in love with you

I CAN'T GET YOU OFF OF MY MIND
(Hank Williams)
« © '48 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Oh I can't get you off of my mind when I try I'm just wasting my time
Well I've tried and I've tried and all night long I've cried
But I can't get you off of my mind
Don't think you would leave me behind but I guess you're two-timin' kind
Do you think that it's smart to jump from heart to heart
When I can't get you off of my mind
Well I can't get you off of my mind...
[ steel - fiddle - piano ]
You believe that a true love is blind so you fool every true love you find
You've got stars in your eyes but they can't hide the lies
Oh I can't get you off of my mind
Well I can't get you off of my mind...
Well I can't get you off of my mind...

BABY'S GONE BLUES
(Mary Ann Kennedy - Pat Bunch - Pam Rose)

I feel the blues coming on cause I feel you being gone
It's something I wish I could lose baby's gone blues
There ain't no sunshine in sight cause you're gonna leave me tonight
My heart is sure feeling bruised baby's gone blues
Oh love has gone wrong
It's so hard on my heart going from good into gone
Oh there ain't no easy way back into nights before you
Baby's gone blues baby's gone blues
It's like a razor on me knowing you wanna be free
I'm standing here feeling used baby's gone blues
There ain't no dreams coming true I won't recover from you
There ain't no heartache like you baby's gone blues
Oh love has gone wrong...
Baby's gone blues baby's gone blues

LITTLE ON THE LONELY SIDE
(Roger Murrah - Kitty Murrah)
« © '87 Careers Music, BMI »
You ask me how I'm doing since you left
I can't lie sometimes I'm beside myself
And the way I feel is too hard to hide
A little on the lonely side
Do you really want to know what I've been through
Let me just say I'm still wrapped up in you
And the broken heart keeps me alive
A little on the lonely side
I'm a little on the lonely side where only the strong survive
And I'm barely gettin' by a little on the lonely side
Some days I spend all my nights on memories
Going through what's left of what used to be
And the nights get longer all the time
A little on the lonely side
I'm a little on the lonely side...
I'm a little on the lonely side...

FLY AWAY
(John Hall - Johanna Hall)
« © '87 Irving Music, BMI »
Sometimes I get so angry with you
You treat me like an old worn out shoe
I've been here for you for oh so long
One day you could reach and find me gone
One of these morning's I could wake up with wings
And I'll be singin' fly away I could fly away
And if I'm in your way I could be gone tomorrow
Some days I love you some days I don't
First you say you will and then again you won't
Well I guess all love has it's ups and downs
And maybe that's why I stay around
But a woman can hurt for just so long
And she'll start singin that traveling song
Fly away I could fly away
And if I'm in your way I could be gone tomorrow
Should be easy to keep our love alive
There is no reason that we can't take the time
Yet we live as if we have centuries all the world at which to be
But the end could come at any time for a love like your's and mine
Fly away I could fly away...
Tomorrow I could fly away
I could fly away I could fly away I could fly away I could fly away

ONCE IN A LIFETIME
(Eric Kaz - Marcia Zwilling)
« © '87 Glasco Music, ASCAP »
All my life I tried to find someone to love me
And though the night is lonely and no one's there to hold me
I'd rather be alone than be without you cause no one else will do
And just once in a lifetime someone like me can find
Someone to love like you and nobody else will do
All my days are spent this way with no one to talk to
And oh the rain keeps falling and I hear your voice keep on calling
I'd rather be alone than be without you cause no one else will do
And just once in a lifetime...
And just once in a lifetime...
(Nobody) nobody else will do (nobody) nobody else will do
