MORE THAN WORDS CAN TELL

(Porter Wagoner) « © '72 Porter Music, BMI »
When you're rocking back and forth there by the window
And the sun shines through the silver in your hair
I'll think of all the years we've spent together
And of all the good and bad times we have shared

We've seen happiness that could match heaven's beauty
And each sadness like the flaming pits of hell
But each thing we share just makes our love grow stronger
And I love you more than words could ever tell

When the golden years have slowly come upon us
And our children have all married off and gone
You know sweetheart each day our love grows more exciting
And I love you more as each day passes on

We've seen happiness that could match heaven's beauty
And we love each other more than words can tell
And each day as we grow closer to God's calling
I pray he'll call us at the same time there to dwell

We've seen happiness...
Yes I love you more than words could ever tell

RIGHT COMBINATION

(Porter Wagoner) « © '71 Porter Music, BMI »
I believe we have the right combination
Our love and happiness both seem so strong
I believe we have a firm foundation
That our love can build and last forever on

There'll be times when you may doubt my reasons
But I know your love will always make a way
And I know that there'll be times when we'll have heartaches
But it won't worry us cause love is just that way

I believe we have the right combination...
[ fiddle ] Some folks spend the lifetime searching for the right one
And they'll grasp at anyone of love's sensations
But you and I will search the most for we have found it
(Yes we'll have honey)
You and I have found the right combination

I believe we have the right combination...

I'VE BEEN THIS WAY TOO LONG

(Dolly Parton) « © '72 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Hmm (oh ain't he cute)
Ah well I don't like to get up if I feel like sleeping
No and I don't like to sweep my floor if I don't feel like sweeping
If you don't like the way I am then you can move along
You can't change the way I am I've been this way too long

I've been this way too long and you can't ever change me now
Don't waste your time in tryin' cause I am just what I am
I've got my way of doin' things and who can say I'm wrong
You can't change the way I am I've been this way too long

Oh and I don't like to make my bed if I don't feel like makin' it
No and I don't like to bake no bread if I don't feel like bakin' it
If you don't like the way I am then you can move along
Cause you can't change the way I am I've been this way too long

Well I don't like to hoe no corn if I don't feel like hoein' it
(You should you're corny)
And I don't like to mow no grass if I don't feel like mowin' it
(I know it's comin' through the upstairs window)
If you don't like the way I am then you can move along
You can't change the way I am I've been this way too long

If you don't like the way I am...

Oh as far as I can remember back you have been this way
(And as long as you remember I will be honey)
When you was in the first grade you was exact the same way
(First grade I was waitin' for the second)
You swiped the pencils and scattered paper all over the desk
(Oh that's real cute you're makin' up stuff)

IN EACH LOVE SOME PAIN MUST FALL

(Dolly Parton) « © '72 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Darling it's not really over it just seems to be
Darling I don't really think that we want to be free
A raging storm of anger made us want to end it all
Darling don't you know in each love some pain must fall

These tiny drops of pain that's falling down our face
Tomorrow will be gone almost without a trace
It's hurtin' now but soon we'll find it doesn't hurt at all
Darling don't you know in each love some pain must fall

In each love some pain must fall that doesn't mean that it's the end
When the anger is all gone everything will be all right again
And the hurt that seems so big now tomorrow will seem small
Darling don't you know in each love some pain must fall
[ guitar ] In each love some pain must fall...
Darling don't you know in each love some pain must fall

HER AND THE CAR AND THE MOBILE HOME

(Dave Kirby - Don Stock) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well my wife and I were happy in our trailer
But she didn't dig my runnin' around all night
Well I warned you a couple of times of leavin'
Oh but you just laughed and took it kinda light
Well I should've paid attention to her warnin'
When she told me she'd leave if I didn't change
Cause when I come home about sunup this mornin'
Well I detected something mighty strange

Her and the car and the mobile home are gone boys
I was takin' off while you was a carryin' on
Now things are really shot I came home to an empty lot
Yeah me and the car and the mobile home was gone
Yeas her and the car and the mobile home was gone

Well the neighbors all around me were a laughin'
And it made me feel about ten inches tall
Ha I knew you didn't think that I'd really leave you
Ah not to mention taking home and all
Well talk about somebody be-wildered
I bet you didn't know what to do nor where to go
I found a little consolation in my wardrobe
That you left scattered on the patio

Her and the car and the mobile home...

Yeah they was gone with everything else
Except a few old western suits she'd left scattered there on the patio
And they had mud on 'em where she'd stomped around on 'em
Stepped on them Wagon wheels busted the spokes out
You know that real nice lavander suit one that she said I looked good in
Said I looked like Tom Jones that's it hangin' over in that tree
She took that piece of chalk wrote across the front of the coat
have a good time darling you know when you're hot you're hot

BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL

(Porter Wagoner) « © '71 Porter Music, BMI »
Here we sit lookin' at each other
Seems we're at a loss for what to say
Ties bind us both with someone else
We don't want to hurt but we must break away

And tonight I'll sit home a thinking
And tonight I'll sit home a drinking
We both live in seperate homes where there's no love at all
Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil
[ fiddle - steel ] Tomorrow we'll meet here in the same place
Where love and desires just won't wait
In each other's arms we'll dream for a little while
Then when it's time to leave it'll nearly drive us wild

And tonight again I'll sit home a thinking...
Stayin' up late burning the midnight oil

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY

(Dolly Parton) « © '71 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Somewhere along the way we drifted apart
As we walked the road of love we lost our way
Now it's too late to start all over for there's no turning back
We lost each other somewhere along the way

Somewhere along the way we neglected one another
Our careless steps have led us to the end
Oh and all we can do now is just feel sorry for each other
Cause once love has died it won't ever live again

Somewhere along the way hey hey we stumbled oh and we fail
Love is not a game for fools to play
We both played and we both lost now we're both sorry and both to fault
We lost that love somewhere along the way

ON AND ON

(Eddie Sovine) « © '71 Warden Music, BMI »
How long will you love me how long will you stay by my side
Will it be for a lifetime or just for a while
From now on yes on and on

If you will love and stand by me I'll give all my love to you
That's the way that it will be from now on yes on and on

From now on yes on and on from now on yes on and on
Love for each other that will stand the test of time
From now on on and on

I'll stand by you right or wrong then we'll always be as one
Like the robin needs his song I need you from now on

Like the rose loves the vine like the poem needs to rhyme
My love is yours and yours is mine from now on on and on

From now on yes on and on...
From now on on and on

THROUGH THICK AND THIN

(Bill Owens) « © '71 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
The road of love is steep it's a hard climb all the way
To stay in love we must keep working at it every day
We have our ups and downs but we take it with a grin
Cause we've promised to stick together through thick and thin

We don't always see eye to eye and we don't always agree
But every day we both try to make each other happy
And if we have a quarrel well we'll just kiss and try again
Cause we've promised to stick together through thick and thin

We've promised to stick together that's what we're gonna do
We won't let our love grow old we're gonna keep it new
Hard times may hit us maybe just around the bend
But we've promised to stick together through thick and thin

FOG HAS LIFTED

(Porter Wagoner) « © '71 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
I can see the sunshine again
And I can see the blue sky where there once was fog and rain
We know each other now clear through and through
The fog has lifted between me and you

I loved you the first time I saw you
For it seemed like I had known you all my life
Well I loved you too but it takes a long time
To know what hurts you what helps you and know how you feel deep inside

I'm so happy you found out before it was too late
Our beautiful love could have turned into hate
Forgiving and understanding gives us a clear view
The fog has lifted between me and you

Now there's the sunshine again...
