LOVE CITY

(Porter Wagoner - Tom Pick) « © '73 Porter Music, BMI »
Welcome to Love City population two

It isn't a big place our little town
But it's filled with lovely sights all around
A park filled with flowers a beautiful lawn
The streets of the driveway that leads to our home
Just a small house on an acre of ground
We call it Love City our little town

Welcome to Love City polulation two
Founded on a little love that just grew and grew
Between me and you

We built our home on Love's Avenue
The taxes are low and it has a nice view
We've got home cooked meals that are fit for a king
And all kinds of love to fill every dream
A room just for friends if they happen to
Visit our Love City population two

Welcome to Love City population two
Founded on a little love that just grew and grew
Welcome to Love City population two

BETWEEN US

(Dolly Parton) « © '73 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Let's start by stopping long enough to talk things over
Since there's a new love burning between us
With open-minded understanding between us
Let's both feel free to talk of this new love

Let there be no deep dark secrets between us
Let's never hide behind a false disguise
Let there be no hidden feelings between us
An honest love is a love that will survive

In our love let's share a friendship between us
Always close enough to talk things out
Let's be honest with ourselves and with each other
And our love will never know mistrust or doubt

Let there be no deep dark secrets...
An honest love is a love that will survive

WE FOUND IT

(Porter Wagoner) « © '72 Porter Music, BMI »
We've been a searching for the love that lost its feeling
That one time filled our hearts with fire with love revealing
We thought that love had gone never more to be returning
And the fire that we thought had gone out again is brightly burning

Oh we found it oh we found it yes we found it yeah we found it
Joy to love joy to love we found it
And the lights are way down low the fire of love is high
We found it yes we found it oh we found it oh we found it
Sweet love you and I
[ steel ] Well I never seen a lovelight shine so bright no wonder we found it
Shining like a neon light with love all around it
It's nights like this with love's sweet bliss sprinkled all around it
We cried a while but now we smile hmm hmm we found it

Oh we found it oh we found...
Oh we found it oh we found...

SATAN'S RIVER

(Porter Wagoner) « © '73 Porter Music, BMI »
Satan's got river Satan's got river deep and wide so deep and wide
Satan's got a river and it's so deep and wide
And he's got folks a swimming he's got folks a swimming
In the warm smooth tire

But some day Satan's river
Yes some day Satan's river is gonna run dry it's gonna run dry
What was once a smooth river hot lava will make the tide
Stay clear of Satan's river heaven's on either side

Big yachts are sailing Satan's river so smooth
Never stopping or thinking about God's golden rule
When the river starts to sinking they'll cry I've been a fool

Satan's got river deep and wide
Satan's got river and it's so deep and wide
And he's got folks a swimming in the warm smooth tide

Satan's got river...

I'VE BEEN MARRIED (JUST AS LONG AS YOU HAVE)

(Dolly Parton - Porter Wagoner) « © '73 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Last night you went out again with what you said was your best friend
You say you need some time away from me
The sun was high when you got in but not as high as you had been
And I wonder how you would act if I done just the way I pleased

I've been married just as long as you have
And I get tired of the same old things just the same as you have
Well let me tell you this big boy when you go out for a night of joy
You better start taking me along or you'll be singing a different song
For I've been married just as long as you have

While I'm working hard all day you run around and spend my pay
You entertain your friends at my expence
But you cry and carry on when I do something on my own
And you accuse with lack of evidence

I've been married just as long as you have
And I get tired of the same old things just the same as you have
So let me tell you this sweetheart I figure I've done my part
So don't get cute and get so smart I'll tell you this before you start
I've been married just as long as you have

I AM ALWAYS WAITING

(Dolly Parton) « © '73 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
From the start I promised you that I would always be
Waiting here at anytime you ever needed me
I loved you then and I love you now as I always will
And I am always waiting willing to forgive

I'll be your shelter from the storm
My love will keep you safe and warm
I'm a harbor on your stormy sea you can always come to me
For I am always waiting

My arms are always open wide and I will dry the tears you cried
If you should ever need someone darling let it be me
I will mend your broken heart and I'll replace the missing parts
I am always waiting anytime you need me

I'll be your shelter from the storm...
For I am always waiting

SWEET RACHEL ANN

(Dolly Parton) « © '73 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Sweet Rachel Ann sweet Rachel Ann when are you ever coming home

Sweet Rachel Ann we've waited here through many seasons now
We've waited here but you have not returned
When you left you promised us that you'd return someday
We miss you and our love for you still burns

Our little girl who longed to see the world beyond these hills
Sweet Rachel Ann you felt you had to go
The autumn wind again has blown the last leaves from the trees
Making room for winter's ice and snow

Sweet Rachel Ann sweet Rachel Ann oh how we miss you since you've gone
Sweet Rachel Ann sweet Rachel Ann when are you ever coming home
[ ac.guitar ] Spring had kissed the earth again wait what's that I see
Is it someone running up the path
Oh wait a minute could it be Rachel is that you
Sweet Rachel Ann have you come home at last

Rachel I hardly recognize you now you look so tired and thin
Sweet Rachel Ann you're different than before
And that world that lies beyond these hills well it's hurt you Rachel Ann
But now you're home and nothing's gonna ever hurt you not anymore

Sweet Rachel Ann sweet Rachel Ann our love will make you good as new again
Sweet Rachel Ann sweet Rachel Ann
At last you have come home sweet Rachel Ann Rachel Ann

THAT'S WHEN LOVE WILL MEAN THE MOST

(Porter Wagoner) « © '73 Porter Music, BMI »
When you feel the pain of loneliness inside you
And you feel the emptiness that lives within
When all the things around you had no meaning
And the lips you love can kiss you once and then

That's when love will mean the most
That's when love will hold you close
To the lips you love to touch and the things that mean so much
That's when love will mean the most
[ steel ] When you see a gentle smile from one that loves you
I feel a softness in the touch of love's sweet hand
Or just reminiscing back through childhood mem'ries
Of days gone by that can't return again

TThat's when love will mean the most...

LOVE HAVE MERCY ON US

(Dolly Parton) « © '73 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
I wasn't looking for you when I found you
I just turned and I saw you there
And I was so lonely and lost when I found you
And I needed somebody to care

And it had been so long since I had been happy
Or needed or wanted or loved
And now that I've found you let my arms surround you
Oh love have mercy on us

Have mercy on us don't let it be wrong
For there is nothing to live all alone
And now that you're mine may love treat us kind
Oh love have mercy on us

Oh what must we do with this love for each other
Is it wrong to love one so much
I want to be with you and oh how I miss you
Oh love have mercy on us

Have mercy on us don't let it be wrong...

HOW CLOSE THEY MUST BE

(Porter Wagoner) « © '72 Porter Music, BMI »
On a park bench on sunny afternoon
Sat a young boy and a girl bout seventeen
As we stood so closely by watched them hold each other's hand
On their faces love had written we're making plans

Then he said to her you're my guiding light
Then she said to him you make my whole world seem so bright
Then we saw their books of braille and that neither one could see
Then I thought how close they must be

Souch tenderness my eyes have never seen
Two young lovers both just in their teens
Though their world gives them no light they see much more than you and me
Don't you know how close they must be

Then a car stopped just a few steps away
And a voice said Jim and Jeannie it's time to go
With their hands still clutched so tight helping each other to the car
Can you imagine just how close they are
Don't you know how close they must be
