I TALKED ABOUT YOU TOO

(Bill Phillips) « © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Yes I talked about you too before I fell in love with you

Around town you're the one everybody talks about
Yes I talked about you too before I fell for you
What things you did you meant no harm you needed love by everyone
I saw you condemn then you that they were wrong

For all the sadness in this world there's lonely people everywhere
Could give anything to share the love we have
Everyone said you were bad I went against their word I'm glad
But I talked about you too before I fell in love with you
[ piano ] For all the sadness in this world...

HONEY

(Bobby Russell) « © '68 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hadn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twig
Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came running in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and crying over some sad and silly late late show

And honey I miss you and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could

She wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that I'd be mad but what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly and caught her cryin' needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robins sing she went away

And honey I miss you and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could

One day while I was not at home while she was there and all alone the angels came
Now all I have is memories of honey and I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage where honey lived and honey played and love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead and cries down on the flower bed that honey loved
And see the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big

ANOTHER PLACE ANOTHER TIME

(Jerry Chesnut) « © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
One by one they're turning out the lights
I've been feeding that old jukebox just to hold you tight
Guess it's for the best I just put in my last dime
Heard you whisper we'd meet me again another place another time

Chairs are stacked all over tables and it's closing time they say
I could wait right here forever if they'd only let me stay
Anywhere would be much better than that lonely room of mine
And the sleepless nights are waitin' for another place another time

Won't that room of mine be a lonely place to be
After I've been holding you so close to me
And won't that old stairway be a little hard to climb
To a lonely room to wait for another place another time

Won't that old stairway be a little hard to climb
To a lonely room to wait for another place another time

I'D BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU

(Mitchell Torok - Ramona Redd) « © '68 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I'd be better off without you but you'd better never go

You just throw your love away to everyone it seems
I wonder why I hang around and live on hopeless dreams
I share the love you give to me that's all I ever know
I'd be better off without you but you'd better never go

Friends of mine they wonder why I take this misery
But they don't know what one sweet kiss from you can do to me
So I'll just wait my turn in line but your lies are gettin' old
I'd be better off without you but you'd better never go
[ steel ] Friends of mine they wonder why...

LOVE'S DEAD END

(Bobby Sykes - Bill Phillips) « © '65 Blackwood Music, BMI »
I walked into this lonely town met an old friend of mine
I told him I came here to try and get you off my mind
If you don't change the way you do soon you'll run out of friends
Then you'll be lonely just like me down at love's dead end

I asked a man who seemed to know his way around the town
If he knew where I could go to let my mem'ries drown
He said I know of just a place I'll take you there my friend
It's down along no farther from they call it Love's Dead End

We walk down Heartbreak Avenue pass the point of no return
The farther down the street you go the more your heart will yearn
Go fast to place where the lights are low they call Regretful Inn
Fifty teardrops to the right and you're at Love's Dead End
[ piano ] We walk down Heartbreak Avenue...

YOU'VE STILL GOT A PLACE IN MY HEART

(Leon Payne) « © '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If the one you'd think is true ever turns his back on you
You've still got a place in my heart
If every road you take proves you've made a big mistake
Baby you've still got a place in my heart

If I'm a fool to pray that you'll come back some day
Then I'll know a million fools that love has made that way
If the years should make you cry don't go on and live a lie
Baby you've still got a place in my heart
[ steel ] If the years should make you cry...

EVERYTHING TURNS OUT FOR THE BEST

(Don Gibson) « © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Everything turns out for the best they tell me
But is it best because I'm losing you
Everybody says I'll soon forget the reason
I loved you and to you I was so true

But when you've lost the one you love nothing seems right
You can't even sleep at night
Everything turns out for the best they tell me
But is it best because I'm losing you
[ piano ] But when you false the one you love...
But is it best because I'm losing you

THAT'S WHEN I SEE THE BLUES

(Carl Belew - W.S. Stevenson - Tommy Blake) « © '62 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You say it's over now but it's easy to see
You still belong to him you're not happy with me
You can hide all your feelings until he passes by
That's when I see the blues in your pretty brown eyes

Your pretty brown eyes keep telling me lies
But they can't hide the hurt with a smile of disguise
You can hide all your feelings until he passes by
That's when I see the blues in your pretty brown eyes
[ piano ] Your pretty brown eyes...
That's when I see the blues in your pretty brown eyes

I LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY

(Bill Hayes - Betty Gary) « © '68 Forrest Hills Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Yes I learn something new every day

There are rumors that you're seeing him again
I'd like to hear it from you if I may
Until now I know very little
But I learn something new every day

No one comes right out and tells me
I just hear things in a round about way
Yes they don't want to draw me a picture
But I learn something new every day

Is my world now ready to crumble have you moulded it out of play
If I'm wrong forgive me for asking but I learn something new every day
[ piano ] Is my world now ready...
Yes I learn something new every day

RAINBOWS ARE BACK IN STYLE

(Dave Burgess) « © '68 Ominor Music, BMI »
Rainbows are gettin' back in style
There's sunshine everywhere and I'm a learnin' how to smile
The only time it rains is to cool things for awhile
Since I met you I can't forget you and rainbows are back in style

There's not a thing in the world that I'd rather do than sit and stare at your face
You're so doggone pretty that you made this world a whole lot happier place
Life's worth living and the love you're giving has made me feel this way
And rainbows had chased the clouds away

Rainbows are gettin' back in style...
[ guitar ] Your name is like music and I can't help singing it over and over again
This happy feeling has got me thinking it's heaven I'm living in
The love we share puts magic in the air and every dream comes true
And rainbows had turn my skies to blue

Rainbows are gettin' back in style...
