HURTIN' SIDE

I remember days of sweet sunshine
And the nights our love went on and on
And I still believe you'll come back to me
Cause it's too hard to think you're really gone
There's a river of healing somewhere
And I'm told that it flows deep and wide
But this mountain of mem'ries I'm climbing
Keeps me here on the hurtin' side
I can hear your voice whisper softly
I will love you till the day I die
And just thinking of your warm love
Well it makes me break right down and cry
There's a river of healing somewhere...
Oh there's a river of healing somewhere...

LITTLE BITS AND PIECES
(Hank Cochran - Dean Dillon)
« © '83 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Today I found some ol' remains chains that once held us together
Petals of old faded rose and a few old I-love-you-forever letters
And I ran across some mem'ries of you I thought I'd never see again
God knows I looked high and low
Searched everywhere for the way we were back then
But all I found were little bits and pieces
Odds and ends of things we tore in two
But all I found were little bits and pieces
But I couldn't find one piece of love that belonged to me and you
While going through what we went through
I ran into some dreams that we left scattered
Things we thought meant everything
Time had stained till they no longer mattered
Lord knows I left no stone unturned
Went back to every bridge we burned behind us
I even tried to drawn your face but I was all that showed up in the dust
But all I found were little bits and pieces...

THIS TIME I ALMOST MADE IT
(Billy Sherrill)
« © '74 Sherrill Music, BMI »
This time I almost made it came so close to saying no
I almost found the words to make you go
This time I almost made it almost pushed you away
But my heart cried out begging you to stay
Now I'm laying here beside you crying softly
Cause I know you're going home to her
Cause you belong to her and you go home to her
I know you steal away I know that'll be another day
That you'll come back again
And I'll keep wondering will I be here till then
[ violin ]
Oh so I'll tell the morning sun that maybe
I can find someone that I can love as much
Or maybe half as much to live without your touch
This time I almost made it this time I almost made it

TILL YOU WERE GONE
(Rory Bourke - Mike Reid)
« © '88 BMG Songs, ASCAP / Songs De Burgo, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Every day why I don't know
When I pass your house I drive real slow
It's out of my way it's crazy for sure
Cause you do not live in that house anymore
Every night right about now
I grow uneasy kind of restless somehow
It starts out like thunder on a slow steady roll
Then I hit the floor half out of control
Baby I wonder if you look the same
Do you have children what are their names
Does the one that you're with need you all night long
Like I never did until you were gone
I can recall that night at your place
The hurt in your eyes the tears on your face
Would you take comfort if now you could see
How life without you is torture for me
Baby I wonder if you look the same...

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH (IT HURTS)
(Floyd Tillman)
« © '56 Peer International, BMI »
I love you so much it hurts me darling that's why I'm so blue
I'm so afraid to go to bed at night I'm afraid of losing you
I love you so much it hurts me and there's nothing I can do
I wanna hold you my dear forever and ever
I love you so much it hurts me so
[ violin - steel ]
I love you so much it hurts me...

I'M CONFESSIN' (THAT I LOVE YOU)
(Doc Dougherty - Ellis Reynolds - Al J. Neiburg)
« © '52 Remick Music »
I'm confessin' that I love you tell me do you love me too
I'm confessin' that I need you honest I do
Need you every moment
In your eyes I read such strange things but your lips deny they're true
Will your answer really change things making me blue
I'm afraid someday you'll leave me saving can't we still be friends
If you go you know you'll grieve me all my life on you depends
Am I guessin' that you love me dreaming dreams of you in vain
I'm confessin' that I love you over again
[ violin ]
Oh I'm afraid someday you'll leave me...
I'm confessin' that I love you over again

YOUR LOVE STAYS WITH ME
(Rory Bourke - Mike Reid)
« © '88 BMG Songs, ASCAP / Chappell & Co, ASCAP »
It's dark in here I feel so alone
But there's a light somebody just turned on
It opens my eyes and it lets me see
And once again it amazes me
How your love stays with me
When shadows fall and everybody leaves
Well I'm not alone I know I'll never be
Your love stays with me
When cold rains fall against my skin
It chills my body oh but not the soul within
Cause I got a fire burnin' so bright
It keeps me warm through the longest night
Oh how your love stays with me...
