SOMEONE TO GIVE MY LOVE TO
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '72 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I could search from now to the end of time and never find another you
I'm so glad because I know you're mine someone to give my love to
I believe my love that you're one of the kind for there's no one else like you
You're the light of my life so let it shine someone to give my love to
I find happiness is lovin' you I'll do my best to make your dreams come true
I will follow you to the end of the earth for my place will be with you
I have taken you for better or worse someone to give my love to
I find happiness is lovin' you I'll do my best to make your dreams come true
Days of man-and-wife-time are precious few I will spend them all with you
Then beyond forever I'll wait for you someone to give my love to
Mhmm mhmm mhmm

Smile somebody loves you take a look and see
Smile somebody needs you smile and take a look at me
Well I will comfort you I will love you true
When the world comes closing in I'll be your friend
And I will understand I'll do all I can
If you'll just turn around and take my hand
Smile somebody loves you...
Smile somebody loves you...

SOMETHING
(George Harrison)
« © '69 Harrisongs, ASCAP »
Something in the way she moves me attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now you know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows that I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now you know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow I don't know I don't know
You stick around now it may show I don't know I don't know
Something in the way she knows and all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things he shows me
I don't want to leave her now you know I believe and how

YOUR LOVE IS THE KEY TO IT ALL
(Johnny Paycheck)
« © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
The sun always shines in my world down even when the rain should fall
The light of happiness is always shining and your love is the key to it all
One day you just walked into these arms of mine
Lift me up and with your love made me stand tall
Now I know what happiness in life is all
About and your love is the key to it all
[ guitar - steel ]
Your love is the key that fits every lock to every single door in failure's wall
Now I'm strong enough to do anything I have to and your love is the key to it all
One day you just walked...
Your love is the key to it all

MR. BOJANGLES
(Jerry Jeff Walker)
« © '68 Cotillion Music, BMI »
I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you in worn out shoes
With silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants the old soft shoe
He jumped so high he jumped so high then he'd lightly touch down
I met him in a cell in New Orleans he was down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age and he spoke right out
He talked of life he talked of life he laughed slapped his leg a step
Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles dance
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughout the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him traveled about
His dog up and died oh dog up and died after twenty years he still grieves
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks for drinks and for tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars cause I drink a bit
He shook his head he shook his head and I heard someone ask please
Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles oh dance oh dance

HEART DON'T NEED EYES
(Johnny Paycheck)
« © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Well a heart don't need eyes to see when it's over it don't have to be told
No a heart don't need arms to feel it just withers and dies from the cold
Well I woke up this morning and found your note but I already knew what it said
Cause there's been no love in this house for so long now
And what else could you do when love is dead
And a heart don't need eyes to see...
No a heart don't need eyes to see..¨
Yes it just withers and dies from the cold

SHE'S ALL I LIVE FOR
(Johnny Paycheck)
« © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
She's all I live for and I'm so proud to have her for my wife
She's all I live for she's the most important woman in my life
Without her love my life would be just an empty shell
I need the comfort her love gives when things don't go so well
Our lives are full of happiness as her love guides away
And in her arms I'm safe in sayin' love is here to stay
Oh she's all I live for...
She's all I live for...
She's the most important woman in my life

RAIN NEVER FALLS IN DENVER
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '72 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Oh the rain never falls in Denver cause you make the sun shine all the time
Oh the rain never falls in Denver
Since you came along and brought your love to this heart of mine
One time in Chicago Illinois a pretty woman turned my head around
That city woman said she love this poor country boy
Any cloudy in Chicago and the rain came pouring down
But the rain never falls in Denver...
There's been some stormy weather in my life I've done a lot of heaven in my time
I've had teardrops fall like rain off through the night
And washed the sweet away with dreams that I've thought were mine
But the rain never falls in Denver...

HIGH ON THE THOUGHT OF YOU
(Charlene Montgomery)
« © '72 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I don't need the help of the red wine in the glass to ease my mind
I found out the way to forget the way you left me here behind
I drink up a mem'ry and it takes me back to places that I've been
I just think about you and I'm high on the thought of you again
I can see me anytime I want to in my favorite chair at home
I played like a horse when the children needed one to ride on
With each memory I drink it makes me feel so good and warm within
I just think about you and I'm high on the thought of you again
I'm high on the thought just knowing that one time you belonged to me
And we lived in the world that was honest till he came between you and me
So I'll keep drinkin' memories cause the past is for I live in
I just think about you and I'm high on the thought of you again
Yeah I just think about you and I'm high on the thought of you again

IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF WINE
(Larry Kingston - Frank Dycus)
« © '72 Careers Music, BMI »
They're stackin' the chairs on the table again they block down the Budwiser sign
Soon they'll be callin' a taxi for me it's only a matter of wine
Yes it's only a matter of wine till I'm something that words can't divine
Yes she'll soon be out of my mind and it's only a matter of wine
Outside a big truck is washing the street leaving our dream world behind
While inside I'm washing your mem'ry away cause it's only a matter of wine
Yes it's only a matter of wine...
Yes it's only a matter of wine
