TAKE ME AS I AM (OR LET ME GO)

(Boudleaux Bryant) « © '54 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Why must you always try to make me over
Take me as I am or let me go
White lilies never grow in fields of clover
Take me as I am or let me go

You're trying to reshape me like your love
In the image of someone you used to know
But I won't be a standing for the cold love
Take me as I am or let me go

You're trying to reshape me...

DON'T YOU BELIEVE HER

(Nat Stuckey) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI / Su-Ma Publishing, BMI »
She can give you a reason to live if she wants to
She can make you forget other loves that you have known
She has two lips and two arms that thrill you as bad if you do
And if you want her to give them to you just ask and she will

Don't you believe her I did and soon she'll be leaving me
Don't you believe if you do then soon she'll be leaving you too

She can tell you a lie you'll believe if she has to
And you'll trust her till time and the tie both stands still
She willn cry on your shoulder and swear to the thing she won't do
But be careful for when you're not looking she will

Don't you believe her...

SITTIN' AND THINKIN'

(Charlie Rich) « © '63 Knox Music, BMI »
I got loaded last night on a bottle of gin
And I had a fight with my best girl friend
But when I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend
Please baby wait for me until they let me out again

I know the same done gone thing has happened before
And everytime it does I hate it more and more
But when I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend
Please baby wait for me until they let me out again

I spent a whole lotta time a sittin' and thinkin'
A sittin' there just thinkin' bout you
And if I didn't spend so much time oh sittin' and drinkin'
We'd still have the love that we once knew

Oh I won't promise it won't happen again
But I can promise it'll be a long long time till then
Cause when I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend
Please baby wait for me until they let me out again
Please baby wait for me until they let me out again

I'M STILL NOT OVER YOU

(Willie Nelson) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Today I made a point to go somewhere I knew you'd be
I had to know if you still had the same affect on me
And the moment that I saw you there I knew
No matter what I do I'm still not over you

I'm still not over you that feeling's still the same
I'm still not over you I find that nothing's changed
And perhaps some day I'll find somebody new
But now it's much too soon I'm still not over you
[ strings ] I can't explain why seeing you affects my sanity
But when I see yopu I become a strange and different me
And the moment that I saw you there I knew
No matter what I do I'm still not over you

I'm still not over you I find that nothing's changed
I'm still not over you that feeling's still the same
And perhaps some day I'll find somebody new
But now it's much too soon I'm still not over you
No matter what I do I'm still not over you

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
And suddenly I've got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

WALK THROUGH THIS WORLD WITH ME

(Sandy Seamons - Kaye Savage) « © '66 Central Songs, BMI »
Walk through this world with me go where I go
Share all my dreams with me I need you so
In life we search and some of us find
I've looked for you a long long time

And now that I found you new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
Walk through this world with me go where I go
Dream all my dreams with me I've searched for you so

And now that I found you new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me

NIGHT LIFE

(Willie Nelson - Paul Buskirk - Walt Breeland) « © '62 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Oh when the evening sun goes down you will find me hanging round
Oh the night life ain't no good life but it's my life
Many people just like me dreaming of old used-to-be's
Oh the night life ain't no good life but it's my life

Well listen to the blues they're playin'
Yeah listen to what the blues are sayin'
Mine is just another scene from the world of broken dreams
Oh the night life ain't no good life but it's my life

Well listen to the blues...

MY BABY'S GONE

(Hazel Houser) « © '58 Central Songs, BMI »
Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind stand still
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry up the raindrops then hold back the sun
The world has ended my baby's gone

I'll wake up sometime in the night and realize you're gone
I toss and turn and stare at darkness waiting for the dawn
I try to tell my lonely heart we'll make it all alone
But still the world has ended my baby's gone

Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind stand still
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry up the raindrops push back the dawn
The world has ended my baby's gone
Don't they know the world has ended my baby's gone

JUST OUT OF REACH

(Virgil F. Stewart) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Love that runs away from me dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on bothering me chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

Each night in dreams I see your face mem'ries that time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you gone I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

That lonesome feeling all the time knowing you cannot be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep vows that we could never keep
Too far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

YESTERDAY

(John Lennon - Paul McCartney) « © '65 ATV Tunes, ASCAP »
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said some things wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away oh I believe in yesterday
Oh I believe in yesterday

IN THE SUMMER OF MY LIFE

(Lan O'Kun) « © '68 Emanuel Music, ASCAP »
When the winter winds blow cold and I start to know I'm old
I remember things we did in the summer of my life
Things we thought and things we dreamed how one likely they've all seemed
Yet they warm the days I live in the summer of my life

Laughing crying each to each tender hands can easy reach
Private things we used to say I still recall today
Now those golden days're gone still my love goes on and on
Love I shared with you when love was there so new what happened to we two
In the summer of my life
