TENDER LOVIN' CARE
(George Morgan - Curt Gibson)
« © '63 Curt Gibson Music, BMI »
Get your favorite photo and send it to me
Along with a curle from your hair
Right on the package so the postman will know
To treat it with tender lovin' care
Wrap up a dream or two and send them along
Send anything that you can send
If it's old or if it's new sweetheart I promise you
I'll treat it with tender lovin' care
For now my dream has ended and you found someone new
But though my dream has ended I'm still in love with you
Send along a memory of the happiness we shared
And when it comes I'll treat it with tender lovin' care
[ steel ]
For now my dream has ended...

WOULD YOU BELIEVE
(Wayne P. Walker - James Coleman)
« © '63 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Would you believe that it was only yesterday
We vowed our love was true forever more
Can you believe that we have all these heartaches on the way
Bofore we've swept the rice up from the floor
Would you believe her love like ours will go astray
Since I picked you up and brought you through the door
Can you believe the angry words we've heard each other say
Bofore we've swept the rice up from the floor
I don't believe in miracles but now I think I'll pray
Someone will send a miracle to help us find the way
Can you believe our love is gone forever
Bofore we've swept the rice up from the floor
[ steel ]
I don't believe in miracles...

ALL RIGHT (I'LL SIGN THE PAPERS)
(Mel Tillis)
« © '63 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I've tried so hard to keep our home alive
But you don't even care that I'm around
You tell me that somehow our love has died
And you'd rather be set free than be tied down
All right I'll sign the papers even though you know I love you so
All right I'll sign the papers but oh how it hurts to see you go
[ steel - piano ]
I've laid awake at nights when you were gone
And thought of all the things that I could do
To try and make you happy when you come home
But the more I try the more you make me blue
All right I'll sign the papers...
But oh how it hurts to see you go

WE COULD
(Felice Bryant)

If anyone could find the joy that true love brings a girl and boy
We could we could you and I
If anyone could ever say that their true love was here to stay
We could we could you and I
When you're in my arms I know you're happy to be there
Just as long as I'm with you I'm happy anywhere
If anyone could pray each night and thank the Lord that all is right
We could we could you and I
[ steel ]
When you're in my arms...

WHOSE MEMORY ARE YOU
(George Morgan - Curt Gibson)
« © '63 Curt Gibson Music, BMI »
Whose memory are you who's all alone and blue
Dreamin' of your kiss so warm and sweet
Whose memory are you who cries the whole night through
Whose heart is lying broken at your feet
It doesn't seem to worry you that's why I'm so afraid
For I might fall and I might make the same mistake he's made
So I'll go on alone my heart will be my own
The life I'm living now will have to do
But please before you go one thing I'd like to know
Please tell me dear whose memory are you
[ steel - piano ]
It doesn't seem to worry you...

ONE DOZEN ROSES (AND OUR LOVE)
(Benny Joy)
« © '63 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
One dozen roses and our love a mom and dad's prayer to you above
Happy birthday little dove one dozen roses and our love
Well today is your birthday sweetheart and you would have been sweet sixteen
Sure you were our only daughter you were your mom and your daddy's little queen
See we were gonna give you up party and everything but the Lord called you away
To sleep in his beautiful garden so we brought you this pretty bouquet
Yeah your mom is here with me you know with the roses in her hand
You know somethin' else she has your little white Bible to kinda help us understand
Oh we're gonna miss you so much precious daughter as we both kneel here to pray
But we're gonna leave you these pretty roses on this your special day
One dozen roses and our love...

BACK AGAIN
(Wayne P. Walker - James Coleman)
« © '63 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
We started out together chasing dreams of things to be
But we got seperated and you slipped away from me
The road you chosed to travel was the road of shame and sin
And every time you changed your mind I'd take you back again
You're back again there's no regret this time I don't want you
The love you thought would be here yet belongs to someone new
I'll never face another night alone and wonderin' when
I'll hear a knock upon the door and you'll be back again
[ steel ]
For oh so long I've been the fool who kept forgiving you
While in my heart I always knew you never would be true
If you've been laughin' up your sleep this time the joke's on you
Cause while you have been foolin' round I found somebody new
You're back again there's no regret...
I'll hear a knock upon the door and you'll be back again

ALMOST ALL THE TIME

Ever since the day he took your love from me
I've always said the time would set me free
But it seems that I can find no peace of mind
And I find I'm crying almost all the time
Almost all the time I tell myself I must forget
Almost all the time and oh how I've tried but haven't yet
[ steel ]
I break down each time I see you on the street
Inside it hurts each time that you don't see
You don't miss me I don't ever cross your mind
But darling I miss you all the time
Almost all the time...

IN YOUR EYES
(Jimmy Fox)
« © '63 Fisherman Music, BMI »
You love another there's no use pretending
Don't look as it is a surprise
When I look at you I know our love is ending
Cause I see his face in your eyes
Your eyes tell the story with unspoken words
And heart beats the dress with the ties
So don't spare my feelings you're free as the robin
Cause I see his face in your eyes
[ ac.guitar ]
I went to him thinkin' that I was mistaken
Spoke your name and saw his chest rise
Then look in his face and my heart's got an achin'
Cause I see your face in his eyes
His eyes tell a story a story so true
True love is right where the heart lies
Oh you love him dearly and he loves you true
It's written so plain in your eyes pretty blue eyes

YOUR LONELY NIGHTS ARE OVER
(Harlan Howard)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Your lonely nights are over for there's someone new
And he doesn't neglect you like I used to do
Once again you're smiling once again life is fun
Yeah your lonely nights are over and mine have just begun
In a far away city where I lingered a while
I kept thinkin' about you of your eyes and your smile
I decided I love you and came back yesterday
Now I find that your teardrops washed your love from me away
[ guitar - piano ]
Oh your lonely nights are over...

JUST LIKE A FOOL
(George Morgan)
« © '63 Curt Gibson Music, BMI »
Just like a fool I asked him if he'd go with us tonight
And like a fool I let him dance with you and hold you tight
I knew if you'd be thrilled by all those whispered things you've heard
But like a fool I never said a word
Just like a fool I smiled and told him you would be my bride
But something didn't feel just right a way down deep inside
I sat there helplessly as someone tore my world apart
And like a fool I watched him win your heart
[ steel ]
Just like a fool I listened as you both told me goodbye
And like a fool I couldn't help the teardrops in my eyes
There wasn't anything to do or anything to say
So like a fool I watched you walk away
There wasn't anything to do or anything to say
So like a fool I watched you walk away

YOU'RE NOT HOME YET
(Hank Cochran)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
If you've got two or three minutes well I'd like to tell you a story
It's a story about a preacher
And there's a lotta stories about a lotta preachers
But this story that I wanna tell you is about a protectoral preacher
Who went over seas to fight a war
Now this is a war forgot and not for any country
And he fought a long long time and he won a whole lot of souls
But finally this preacher got old and he was coming home
He just happened to be on the same ship with someone
Whom we call a famous celebry
When the boat docked there were thousands there to meet the celebrity
And they carried him off of his shoulders
But you there wasn't no one there to meet the preacher
And he looked into the heavens and said Lord did you forget me
And it seemed like the heavens broke open
And he said no son I didn't forget but you must remember you're not home yet
You're not home you're not home you're not home yet
I can still hear my Lord's voice ringing
There'll be a crowd to greet you a choir of angels to meet you
I didn't forget but son you're not home yet
I didn't forget but son you're not home yet
