BARGAIN STORE

(Dolly Parton) « © '75 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
My life is likened to a bargain store
And I may have just what you're looking for
If you don't mind the fact that all the marchandise is used
With a little mending it could be as good as new

Why you take for instance this old broken heart
If you will just replace the missing part
You would be surprised to find how good it really is
Take it and you never wil be sorry that you did

The bargain store is open come inside
You can easily afford the price
Love is all you need to purchase all the marchandise
And I can guarantee you'll be completely satisfied

Take these old used mem'ries from the past
And these broken dreams and plans that didn't last
I'll trade them for the future I can't use them anymore
I've wasted love but I still have some more

The bargain store is open...
My life is likened to a bargain store...
The bargain store is open come inside
The bargain store is open come inside

KENTUCKY GAMBLER

(Dolly Parton) « © '75 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
He wanted more from life than four kids and a wife
And a job in the dark Kentucky mines
A twenty acre farm with a shacky house and barn
That's all he had and all he left behind
At gambling he was lucky so he left Kentucky
Left behind his woman and his kids
Into the gay casino in Nevada's town of Reno
Kentucky gambler planned to get rich quick

Kentucky gambler who's gonna love your woman in Kentucky
Who's gonna be the one to give her what she needs
Kentucky gambler who's gonna raise your children in Kentucky
Who's gonna keep 'em fed and keep shoes on their feet

At the Gambler's Paradise Lady Luck was on his side
Kentucky gambler played his cards just right
He wanted everything he claimed Kentucky gambler had it made
And he should have quit and go on home that night
But when you owe the greenback dolar sorrow's always bound to follow
Reno dreams fade into neon ember
And Lady Luck she'll lead you on she'll stay a while and then she gone
You'd better go on home Kentucky gambler
But a gambler never seems to stop till he loses all he's got
And so Kentucky gambler he played on
He played till he lost all he won he was right back where he started from
Then he started a waltzin' to go home

Kentucky gambler there ain't nobody waitin' in Kentucky
When you ran out somebody else walked in
Kentucky gambler looks like you ain't really very lucky
Seems to me a gambler loses much more than he wins
So you think about it Kentucky gambler

WHEN I'M GONE

(Dolly Parton) « © '75 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
You say that you're bored with life and that you're bored with me
Cause you say that this love of ours ain't what it ought to be
Now you despite this little house that we've always called home
I know that you don't love me now but you'll love me when I'm gone

You'll love me when I'm gone and then you'll realize just what I meant to you
You'll miss me when I'm gone and then you'll realize how good I've been to you
You'll want me when I'm gone and then you'll realize you've loved me all alone
Oh it's true you may not love me now but you'll love me when I'm gone

We've grown too familiar with each other so you say
You say there's no excitement now too bad you feel that way
Well I wonder how exciting that your life will be alone
Oh I know that you don't love me now but you'll miss me when I'm gone

You'll love me when I'm gone...

ONLY HAND YOU'LL NEED TO HOLD

(Dolly Parton) « © '75 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
When you need to be loved let me love you
When you need a friend reach out to me
When you need reassuring that it's alright
Anything you need that's what I'll be

For I want to be the one you always come to
When you find you need a place to go
Let mine be the hand you always cling to
Mine will be the only hand you'll ever need to hold
Mine will be the only hand you'll ever need to hold
[ guitar ] I can be the one that makes you happy
I'll be your umbrella when it rains
I will be someone that you can count on
In other words I'll be your everything

For I want to be the one you always come to...
I want to be the one you always come to...

ON MY MIND AGAIN

(Dolly Parton) « © '75 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
I try hard to forget you and the love I once shared with you
But my mind won't let forgetfulness come in
There's no use in pretending the hurt is just beginning
Just when I think it's ending you're on my mind again

On my mind again just like you've always been
On my mind with mem'ries I'm rememberin'
On my mind again just like you've always been
Yes I find I've got you on my mind again

Sometimes I go to places where certain thing erases
All traces of your mem'ry now and then
Oh then something will remind me of the love I left behind me
Then again your mem'ry finds me and you're on my mind again

On my mind again just like you've always been...
Yes I find I've got you on my mind again on my mind again

I WANT TO BE WHAT YOU NEED

(Dolly Parton) « © '75 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Mhm when you're not strong and need someone to lean on
Let me be your strenght when you're weak
When you need somebody to comfort and love you
Let mine be the arms that you seek

I want to be what you need whatever it is come to me
You'll always know where I'll be cause I want to be what you need

When life gets to be more than you can endure
My hand is always in reach
And I'm always waiting and I'm always willing
To give you whatever you need

I want to be what you need...
Yes I want to be what you need

LOVE TO REMEMBER

(Porter Wagoner) « © '75 Porter Music, BMI »
Your love's as fresh in my mem'ry as this morning's sunrise
And still just as beautiful to me
I can still feel the soft touch of love sweet and tender
You give me love to remember

Nights with no ending filled with love I'm remembering
Each night that I spent with you
I can still feel your soft touch I can still feel your warm love
You give me love to remember

And each morning when I wake up before I leave my pillow
I search through my dreams carefully
Just to make sure that I don't leave one tiny mem'ry
Cause I dream of the love I remember

Nights with no ending filled with love I'm remembering
Each night that I spent with you
I can still feel your warm love I can still feel your soft touch
For you give me love to remember love to remember

YOU'LL ALWAYS BE SPECIAL TO ME

(Merle Haggard) « © '75 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Mhm to you I may never be more than a friend
But you'll always be special to me
To you I may never be closer than I am
But you'll always be special to me

Maybe I set my sights too high to be real
I may be wrong but love is strong and I can't hide how I feel
To you I may never be more closer than I am
But you'll always be special to me
[ steel ] Maybe I set my sights too high to be real
But love is strong I may be wrong and I can't hide how I feel
To you I may never be more closer than I am
But you'll always be special to me

HE WOULD KNOW

(Dolly Parton) « © '75 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
In my mind I've made love to you often
But only in my mind can it be so
Cause there's someone at home that's countin' on me
And if I did I'm sure that he would know

Yes he would know yes he could tell
For he has loved me long enough to know me very well
And if I lie he sees it in my eyes I know
My guilt would show and he would know

But I must admit you're someone very special
And it would be so easy to let go
Making love to you could be so easy
But if I did I'm sure that he would know

Yes he would know yes he could tell...

My conscience just won't let me make love to you
I know it would be sweet but I just can't
When I go home to him I must be able
To look him in the eyes and say I ain't

Cause he would know yes he could tell...

I'LL NEVER FORGET

(Dolly Parton) « © '75 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Sweeter than honey as soft as a sigh gentle as snowflakes but warm as July
This is the way I remember your kiss if I live forever I'll never forget

Misty as morning as blue as the sky reflections of heaven in your loving eyes
Eyes that said more than your words ever did and if I live forever I'll never forget

If I live forever I'll never forget it's you that I wanted to share my life with
Do I still ove you the answer is yes if I live forever I'll never forget

Two loving arms that I felt welcome in arms that I'd run to again and again
How do you earse sweet mem'ries you miss if I live forever I'll never forget

Sad circumstances that stood between us wouldn't let us share a precious sweet love
Do you remember do you feel like this if I live forever I'll never forget

If I live forever I'll never forget...
Do you remember do you feel like this if I live forever I'll never forget
