HAPPY BIRTHDAY

(Ron Kitson) « © '64 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Well I know where you're goin' and who's gonna meet you there
I know how late you'll be comin' home but guess who doesn't care
Tonight I'll step out too and since I won't be here
Happy birthday merry Christmas and happy New Year

My best wishes may be early but I'm not stickin' around
To bake a cake for your birthday while you're out runnin' around
She can help you celebrate may she bring you lots of cheer
Happy birthday merry Christmas and happy New Year
[ guitar ] Now I've made my mind up played second long enough
You think I don't mean it so you're gonna call my bluff
But I'll be busy packin' while you're holding her near
Happy birthday merry Christmas and happy New Year

My best wishes may be early but I'm not stickin' around...
Happy birthday merry Christmas and happy happy New Year

WHEN LONELY HITS YOUR HEART

(Loretta Lynn) « © '64 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Here I am a doin' things I said I'd never do
But that's before my baby said we're through
It was on that tragic day the hurtin' got its start
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart

I've become a fallen girl for the love of a man
The same ol' pain goes on and on it's more than I can stand
To him it just don't matter but it's tearin' me apart
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart
[ guitar - piano ] I spent my nights a cryin' while he was runnin' round
My heart was the first place lonely found
I don't think I'll forget him I can't begin to start
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart

I've become a fallen girl for the love of a man...

YOU'VE MADE ME WHAT I AM

(Oliver Doolittle) « © '64 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You say that I'm no angel oh I know it much too well
How can you look into my eyes and ask me why I failed
You know that I still love you and I let you drag me down
How can you talk about me when you've made me what I am

You made me what I am but look who everbody blames
When you know you're the reason I hang my head in shame
Oh you tell me to forget you and to stop my hangin' round
I'd be ashamed if I were you you've made me what I am
[ piano ] You never really loved me but I found that out too late
I've tried to find a way to change my love for you to hate
You act like you don't know me when there's someone else around
How can you hold your head up when you've made me what I am

You've made me what I am but look who everbody blames...

ONCE A DAY

(Bill Anderson) « © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pains away
Until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day

Once a day all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day ev'ry day all day long
[ piano ] I'm so glad that I'm not like the girl I knew one time
She lost the one she loved then slowly lost her mind
She sat around and cried her life away
Oh lucky me I'm only cryin' once a day

Once a day all day long...
Once a day ev'ry day all day long

YOU'RE THE ONLY GOOD THING

(Jack Toombs - Chuck Gregory) « © '54 Golden West Melodies, BMI »
Are you thinkin' that I don't care for you
Could it be you believe that I've been untrue
Oh listen sweetheart it just cannot be
For you're the only good thing that's happened to me

We've had our ups and downs like all lovers do
But you know in your heart that I worship you
So don't ever think of setting me free
For you're the only good thing that's happened to me
[ steel ] If you ever should think that I don't love you
That I'm not satisfied with the things that you do
I want you to know and please understand
There's nothing in this world worth the touch of your hand

We've had our ups and downs like all lovers do...

IT JUST LOOKS THAT WAY

(Loretta Lynn) « © '64 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
No I'm not cryin' it just looks that way

He thinks his leavin' me will drive me mad
Silly boy he's the smallest hurt I've had
These ain't tears I'm standin' in it rained today
No I'm not cryin' it just looks that way

No I'm not cryin' it just looks that way
I've convinced my heart I'm happy and it believes ev'rything I say
He thinks he left me lonesome and hurtin' ev'ry day
Oh but I'm not cryin' it just looks that way
[ guitar ] No I'm not cryin' it just looks that way...
Oh but I'm not cryin' it just looks that way

I DON'T BELIEVE I'LL FALL IN LOVE TODAY

(Harlan Howard) « © '61 Central Songs, BMI »
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
For memories of you stand in the way
I just can't make my heart find someone new
It's always much too busy lovin' you

Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then I awake and hear my poor heart say
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
[ steel - piano ] I don't believe I'll fall in love today
For if I did I'm sure I wouldn't stay
You'd come between us like you always do
Somehow he'd never measure up to you

Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find...

HALF A MIND

(Roger Miller) « © '58 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I don't love you like I used to do
But I'm afraid to tell you so
Cause I've got half a mind to leave you
But only half the heart to go

Now words to tell you just don't come to me
I guess my courage is too slow
Cause I've got half a mind to leave you
But only half the heart to go
[ steel - piano ] Now time may prove that you are not to blame
But now's the time I need to know
Cause I've got half the mind to leave you
But only half the heart to go
Yes I've got half a mind to leave you
But only half the heart to go

OH LONESOME ME

(Don Gibson) « © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Ev'rybody's goin' out and havin' fun
I'm just a fool for stayin' home and havin' none
I can't get over how he set set me free
Oh lonesome me

A bad mistake I'm a makin' by just hangin' round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool that's blind and just can't see
Oh lonesome me

Well I'll bet he's not like me he's out and fancy free
Flirtin' with the girls with all his charms
Oh but I still love him so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome him right back here in my arms

There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of ev'rything from A to Z
Oh lonesome me
[ guitar ] Well I'll bet he's not like me he's out and fancy free...
There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues...
Oh lonesome me oh lonesome me

BOY LIKE YOU

(Tompall Glaser) « © '64 Ensign Music, BMI »
There's a jukebox in my ear playin' so loud I can hardly hear
It's tellin' a story about a boy like you
And each selection that I make tells me how my heart will break
For fallin' in love with a boy like you

Though it's just an ol' machine without a heart but oh so mean
It says I'll prob'ly spend my whole life feelin' blue
So I'll put in one more dime and play that same song one more time
Cause I wanna hear about a boy like you
[ piano ] Though it's just an ol' machine without a heart but oh so mean
It says I'll prob'ly spend my whole life feelin' blue
I know that I should go on home but I can't stand to be alone
Cause I always dream about a boy like you
Yes I always dream about a boy like you

WHEN DREAMS GO OUT OF STYLE

(Margie Bowes) « © '64 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Last night I dreamed about you and morning brought no change
I'll spend this whole day cryin' for that's the usual thing
Right now I can't remember the last time that I smiled
But I'll stop loving you when dreams go out of style

I know you think I'm crazy you don't feel the way I do
But still I'll keep on hoping that my dreams will come through
My heart won't let me give up my thoughts keep runnin' wild
But I'll stop loving you when dreams go outta style
[ steel ] It's gotten so here lately I hear you call my name
Each night I wake up screamin' it's drivin' me insane
Friends tell me I'll get better but that will take awhile
I'll still be loving you when dreams go out of style
I'll still be loving you when dreams go out of style

WOUND TIME CAN'T ERASE

(Bill D. Johnson) « © '57 Harbor Hills Music, BMI »
Have you found since you turned me down
The one that you've been searching for
Are you glad that you made me sad
For you know you vowed to love me ever more

What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine
Are you laughin' in my face
Tell me what can I do when you say that we are through
You've left a wound time can't erase
[ piano - guitar ] Tell me dear are you satisfied to be foot loose and fancy free
Is it power you've won for the things that you have done
What you've gained I guess I'll never see

What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine...
