I LOVE YOU BECAUSE

(Leon Payne) « © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I love you because you understand dear
Every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a halping hand dear
I love you most of all because you're you

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
Nut most of all I love you cause you're you
[ steel ] I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because my future's brighter
The door to happiness you've opened wide

No matter what may be the style or seasons
I know your heart will always be true
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you because you're you

LET ME TALK TO YOU

(Danny Dill - Don Davis) « © '57 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Just one more dance just one more chance so I can talk to you
Don't live too fast forget the past and I will try to prove
I would do anything you want me to
Just one more dance just one more chance let me talk to you

Don't go too far with that crowd at the bar
That's not the way to win please fall in love again
Give me your heart so I can start to build our life anew
I know you've paid so if you're afraid let me talk to you
[ fiddle ] Don't go too far with that crowd at the bar...

BLUES STAY AWAY FROM ME

(Alton Delmore - Wayne Raney - Henry Glover) « © '49 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Blues stay away from me blues why don't you let me be
Don't know why you keep a haunting me
Love was never meant for me true love was never meant for me
Seems somehow we never can agree
[ steel ] Life is full of misery dreams are like a memory
Bringing back your love that used to be
Tears so many I can't see years don't mean a thing to me
Time goes by and still I can't be free

MANY TEARS AGO

(Jenny Lou Carson) « © '45 Adams Vee & Abbott Music, BMI »
Many tears ago you said you love me oh how happy was this heart of mine
Then a dark cloud came from out of nowhere and the sun went down no more to shine
Many tears ago I learned too well love what it means to bear a heavy load
I found out just what has meant by sorrow many tears ago along life's road
[ steel ] Many tears ago I built a castle built it very strong and very tall
Though I thought it had a firm foundation many tears ago I saw it fall
Many times I've wished that I would die love better to be dead than feel so low
All I ever lived or ever hoped for left me many many tears ogo
[ fiddle ] Many tears ago you called me darling in my dreams I hear you say it now
I can almost feel your arms around me arms that never meant to keep the vow
Many tears ago 'twas in the springtime when you said goodbye and went away
Oh how well this aching heart remembers many many tears ago today

LETTERS HAVE NO ARMS

(Cindy Walker) « © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I just got your letter dear sweetheart
And darling I miss you oh so much
Your letter has cheered me but I'm lonesome
Lonesome just to feel your loving touch

Letters have no arms dear to hold me
Kisses on paper are so cold
These sweet things you write in your letter
I wanna be with you dear when told

Letters never bring me the touch of your hand
Or none of your sweet loving charms
I get so lonesome for you darling
and you know that letters have no arms
[ steel ] Letters have no arms dear to hold me...

FADED LOVE

(Bob Wills - John Wills) « © '51 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
As I look at the letters that you wrote to me
It's you that I am thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so sweet
I remember our faded love

I miss you darling more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat I still think of you
And remember our faded love
[ fiddle ] I think of the past and all the pleasures we've had
As I watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye
I remember our faded love

I miss you darling more and more every day...

REMEMBER ME (I'M THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU)

(Stuart Hamblen) « © '49 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Hamblen Music, ASCAP »
When you're all alone and blue no one to tell your troubles to
Remember me I'm the one who loves you
And when the world has turned you down and not a true friend can be found
Remember me I'm the one who loves you

And through all kinds of weather you'll find I'll never change
Through the sunshine and the shadows I'll always be the same
We're together right or wrong and where you go I'll tag along
Remember me I'm the one who loves you
[ guitar ] And through all kinds of weather...

I SAW MY CASTLES FALL TODAY

(Rex Griffin - Ray Price) « © '57 Unichappell Music, BMI »
I saw my castles fall today and crumble into dust beneath my feet
In shambles there my future lay each broken stone a dream so sweet
I mend the ruins of all my schemes as nothing else to do or say
I'll say goodbye to all my dreams I saw my castles fall today
[ steel - fiddle ] I saw my castles fall today my world came tumbling down before my eyes
I know it's faded I must pay for bulding castles in the skies
I buil' the heaven in the sky where my true love and I could stay
Then came the words that meant goodbye I saw my castles fall today

I'LL SAIL MY SHIP ALONE

(Lois Mann - Henry Bernard - Murray Burns) « © '57 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Well we've been sweethearts for so long now you say we're through
The love we shared is now a memory
I had built a ship of dreams and planned them all for you
But now I guess what is to be will be

I gave a message to the wind to take home on to you
Hoping you would hear my SOS
I thought that you would come back home my darling if you knew
How much my aching heart was in distress
Well I'll sail my ship alone with all the dreams
I own drifting out across the ocean blue

Yes I'll sail my ship alone though all the sails you torn
And when it starts to sink then I'll blame you
[ steel - piano ] Now I'm just like a ship at sea that's lost without a sail
The dark clouds hide the sun from up above
And even with these broken dreams my heart will never fail
But deep inside there's only one true love

Yes I'll sail my ship alone...

I CAN'T HELP IT (IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU)

(Hank Williams) « © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Today I passed you on the street and my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side and he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
[ fiddle ] It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

MANSION ON THE HILL

(Hank Williams - Fred Rose) « © '48 Milene Music, ASCAP / Intersong USA, ASCAP »
Tonight down here in the valley I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted the story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love dear in your loveless mansion on the hill
[ steel ] I've waited all through the years love to give you a heart true and real
Cause I know you're living in sorrow in your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window the trees stand so lonesome and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear in your loveless mansion on the hill

PINS AND NEEDLES (IN MY HEART)

(Floyd Jenkins) « © '43 Milene Music, ASCAP »
I know not where on earth to find you I don't know how or where to start
I only know I'm here without you and there's pins and needles in my heart
The days and nights are growin' longer since first you said that we must part
But now I know I can't forget you I've got pins and needles in my heart
[ fiddle ] I always see your face before me your smile is heaven's work of art
But now you're smiling at another and there's pins and needles in my heart
Someday somewhere I'll find you and love will make the teardrops start
And then you'll know how long I've waited with these pins and needles in my heart
