IN THE CHAPEL IN THE MOONLIGHT
(Billy Hill)
« © '54 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
How I'd love to hear the organ in the chapel in the moonlight
While we're strolling down the aisle where roses entwine
How I'd love to hear you whisper in the chapel in the moonlight
That the lovelight in your eyes forever will shine
Till the roses turn to ashes till the organ turns to rust
If you never come I'll still be there till the moonlight turns to dust
How I'd love to hear the choir in the chapel in the moonlight
As they sing oh promise me forever be mine
(Till the roses turn to ashes) till the organ turns to rust
(If you never come I'll still be there) till the moonlight turns to dust
How I'd love to hear the choir in the chapel in the moonlight
As they sing oh promise me forever be mine

RELEASE ME (AND LET ME LOVE AGAIN)
(Eddie Miller - W.S. Stevenson)
« © '54 Roschelle Publishing, BMI »
Oh please release me let me go I don't love you anymore
To live a lie would be a sin release and let me love again
Oh I have found a new love dear and I'll always want her near
Her lips they're warm while yours're cold release me and darling let me go
Please release me let me go I don't love you anymore
For to live a lie would be a sin release and let me love again
Please release me let me be you'd be a fool to cling to me
For to live a lie would bring us pain release and let me love again

I CAN'T HELP REMEMBERING YOU
(Bert Kaempfert - Herbert Rehbein - Jimmy Bowen)
« © '67 Ruth Rehben Music, BMI / Screen Gems Music, BMI »
I can't forget your mem'ry haunts me yet
I can't forget the way you used hold me so tight
Day after day my thoughts just seem to stray
Back to those happy days and to those wonderful nights
Your smiling face when my world turned away
Gave me the strenght to go on through each blue day
I can recall the magic of it all but I can't help remembering you
[ strings ]
Your smiling face...

TURN TO ME
(Curry Kusic - Eddie Snyder)
« © '67 Feist Catalog, ASCAP »
If ever you need warm fan affection love and protection turn to me
If ever you want someone who's tender darling remember turn to me
Whenever you find the life's got you down I'll be around
Any time night or day I'm only your phone call away
I waited for you a half of my lifetime but I'll wait a lifetime
If that's how it must be till you turn to me
(If ever you need warm fan affection love and protection) turn to me
(If ever you want someone who's tender darling remember) turn to me
Whenever you find the life's got you down...

WALLPAPER ROSES
(Don Robertson - Harold Spina)
« © '67 Edwin H Morris Co, ASCAP / Spina Music, ASCAP »
I'm counting wallpaper roses all around the room
Wallpaper roses painted with gloom
I've been so heartsick and lonely watching the door
Crying my heart out pacing the floor
I'm counting wallpaper roses over and over again
I've counted two thousand six hundred and ten
You are the only one come back and bring the sun
And make my wallpaper roses bloom again
I'm counting wallpaper roses over and over again...
And make my wallpaper roses bloom again

LITTLE OLE WINE DRINKER ME
(Hank Mills - Dick Jennings)
« © '66 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
I'm praying for rain in California
So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine
And I'm sittin' at a honky in Chicago
With a broken heart and a woman on my mind
I match the man behind a bar for the jukebox
And the music takes me back to Tennessee
When they ask who's the fool in the corner crying
I say a little ole wine drinker me
[ harmonica ]
Yeah I came here last week from down in Nashville
Cause my baby left for Florida on a train
I thought I'd get a job and just forget her
But in Chicago a broken heart is still the same
I match the man behind a bar...
I say a little ole wine drinker me

GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME
(Curly Putman)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
Yes they'll all come to meet me arms areaching smiling sweetly
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home
The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
Then I awake and look around me at four grey walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and s sad old padre arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home
Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home

PLACE IN THE SHADE
(Baker Knight)
« © '67 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Now some folks play the whole day long
They think they got it made
But they won't get a thrill the way that I live
When I find me a place in the shade
A poor man word is never learned still I wouldn't trade
All the world and its gold all the treasures untold
I want a little place in the shade
Too late to bed and early to rise
Makes a man weary and cuts him down the size
They come and they go and their worlds fall apart
But I'm gonna cling to the dreams in my heart
Cause someday I know the years gonna come
When all my debts are paid
When my work is all done I'll smile at the sun
And find me a place in the shade
When the work is all done I'll smile at the sun
And find me a place in the shade

PRIDE
(Wayne P. Walker - Irene Stanton)
« © '62 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
(My heart tells me stay but my pride tells me go)
I know you're doing lots of things that ain't right
You're out with a different crowd almost every night
You're making me look like a crazy fool
Why do I have these doubts about leaving you
My heart tells me stay and my pride tells me go
But how can I leave you when I love you so
Which way should I turn I'd sure like to know
My heart tells me stay but my pride tells me go
[ horns ]
I'd be much better off to get you off of my mind
And make you a mem'ry that I'd like to leave behind
I know that misery's all you'll put me through
Why do I have these doubts about leaving you
My heart tells me stay...

WELCOME TO MY WORLD
(Ray Winkler - John Hathcock)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Welcome to my world won't you come on in
Miracles I guess still happen now and then
Step into my heart and leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world built with you in mind
Knock and the door will open seek and you will find
Ask and you'll be given the key to this world of mine
I'll be waiting here with my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you welcome to my world
(Waiting just for you) welcome to my world
