THERE'S ALWAYS ME
(Don Robertson)
« © '61 Don Robertson, ASCAP »
When the evening shadows fall and your wondering who to call
For a little company there's always me
If your great romance should end and you're lonesome for a friend
Darling you need never be there's always me
I don't seem to mind somehow playing second fiddle now
Someday you'll want me dear and when that day is here
Within my arms you'll come to know other loves may come and go
But my love for you will be eternally
Look around and you will see there's always me

GIVE ME THE RIGHT
(Fred Wise - Norman Blagman)
« © '61 Erika Publishing, ASCAP / Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
Give me the right to hold you tonight
The tears that I've cried over you give me the right
You can't say no when I need you so
I want you back in my arms give me the right
If you looked deep in your heart like I looked into mine
You will find that nothing has changed our love was there all the time
Why make me plead for something you need
I want to bring back the thrill give me the right
Why make me plead...

IT'S A SIN
(Fred Rose - Zeb Turner)
« © '46 Milene Music, ASCAP »
It's a sin my darling how I love you
Because I know our love can never be
It's a sin to keep this mem'ry of you
When silence proves that you've forgotten me
The dream I built for us has tumbled
Each promise broken like my heart
It's a sin my darling how I love you
So much in love and yet so far apart
I'm sure you're happy with another
Who shares the love I could not win
Why pretend that I can't live without you
When deep inside I know that it's a sin

SENTIMENTAL ME
(Jimmy Cassin - Jim Morehead)

Sentimental me guess I always will be
So in love with you say you love me too sentimental me
Dreaming while I live living just to give
All my love to you no one else will do sentimental me
Reaching for the moon and a wishing on the stars
On my honeymoon I want to be where you are
Darling can't you see it was meant to be
I'm in love with you say you love me too sentimental me
Reaching for the moon...

STARTING TODAY
(Don Robertson)
« © '61 Don Robertson Music, ASCAP »
Starting today I'm teaching my heart
Not to ache anymore just cause we're apart
No more will I dream of your sweet loving ways
Gonna learn to forget you starting today
And when memories haunt me and the tears start to flow
I'll just think of the sorrow you caused me to know
No more for the past to return will I pray
Gonna live for tomorrow starting today
[ piano ]

GENTLY
(Murray Wizell - Edward Lisbona)

Gently your eyes met mine tender trusting true
Gently your hand took mine thrilled me through and through
Gently oh so gently gentle as the dawn
Gently oh so gently our true love was born
Gently your lips kissed mine as we strolled along
Gently your heart touched mine young and warm and strong
Gently oh so gently...
Gently the hour is near when true loves have to part
Gently we'll meet again one more kiss sweetheart
Gently oh so gently...

I'M COMIN' HOME
(Charlie Rich)
« © '61 Knox Music, BMI / Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Well it's so very hard to have to leave the one you love
And you get more lonely with each passing day
It's so lonely just sittin' there and dreaming of
That girl thousand miles away
Yes it's still lonely having just her picture here with me
And I know I just can't stand it anymore
I'm gonna leave right now and go back where I ought to be
Going home to the girl that I adore
[ piano - guitar ]
Well it's so very hard to have to leave the one you love
And you get more lonely with each passing day
It's so lonely just sittin' there and thinking of
That girl thousand miles away
Well everytime I hear her sweet voice on the telephone
Then I know I just can't stand it another day
I'm gonna call right back and tell her that I'm comin' home
Call her back and say I'm comin' home and stay
Call her back and say I'm comin' home and stay

IN YOUR ARMS
(Aaron Schroeder - Wally Gold)
« © '61 Magilla Music, ASCAP / Rachel's Own Music, ASCAP »
Oh the way I feel tonight you better wrap me up good and tight
In your arms in your arms
Just like a bee in a honeycomb I'm gonna make myself right at home
In your arms in your arms
Well it don't take much to keep me satisfied
Just a little bit of lovin' that's bonafide
In your arms keep me tangled up all the time
Like a kitten with a ball of twine
Yeah baby that's where I want to stay
For the rest of my natural days
In your arms in your arms
[ sax ]
Well it don't take much to keep me satisfied...
In your arms in your arms

PUT THE BLAME ON ME
(Fred Wise - Kay Twomey - Norman Blagman)
« © '61 Erika Publishing, ASCAP / Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
If they say we were doing wrong if they say we were out too long
Well you can say my arms were just too strong
Put the blame put the blame on me
Felt so good when I held you tight couldn't stop when we kissed goodnight
So if they tell us we don't have the right
Put the blame put the blame on me
What I feel is deep inside this is real and I won't hide
Go ahead and use my name I'll be proud to take the blame
You just did what I made you do you love me and I love you too
So if the way they talk can bother you put the blame put the blame on me
[ guitar ]
What I feel is deep inside...

JUDY
(Teddy Redell)
« © '61 Unichappell Music, BMI »
They say you found somebody new
Whose love will always be true
I don't know what it is to be alone
That's why I dread to know you're gone
Oh Judy don't let our sweet love wither and die like flowers in the fall
Oh Judy don't you know it's you I love most of all
Oh please come back I promise always to be true
Oh Judy there'll never be anyone else dear but you
[ piano ]
Oh please come back I promise always to be true
Oh Judy there'll never be anyone else dear but you
Oh Judy there'll never be anyone else dear but you

I WANT YOU WITH ME
(Woody Harris)
« © '61 Anna Teresa Music, ASCAP / Ellipsis Music, ASCAP »
When I was little my mama said to me
Some day you'll find a love to last eternaly
I want you with me everywhere I go
So please don't leave me baby I love you so
I'll be the ruler of this whole wide world
If you will only say you'll be my girl
I want you with me in everything I do
Well you know I need you baby I'm in love with you
There is no mountain that I can't climb
You find the mountain child and I'll find the time
I want you with me with me night and day
Well you can make me happy baby don't you go away
[ piano ]
I'll swim an ocean with a raging foam
If I know that you'll be there when I come back home
I want you with me you know I love you so
Well I want you with me baby I'll never never let you go
Yeah I want you baby I want you baby
Well I want you with me baby I'll never let you go

I SLIPPED I STUMBLED I FELL
(Ben Weisman - Fred Wise)
« © '60 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Erika Publishing, ASCAP »
I look at you and wham I'm head over heels
I guess that love is a banana peel
I feel so bad and yet I'm feeling so well
I slipped I stumbled I fell
One crazy kiss and bam I head for the skies
I guess that love is like a cake of ice
You skate along but then you can never tell
I slipped I stumbled I fell
I never thought I'd get tricked by your sweet talking lies
You've got a bag of tricks
And when you got busy I got dazzled and dizzy
I fell like a ton of bricks
My knees are weak my head is spinning around
I guess that love has turned me upside down
Thought I'd get hurt but gee it's turning out swell
I slipped I stumbled I fell
I never thought I'd get tricked...
My knees are weak...
I slipped I stumbled I fell
