SOMEDAY YOU WILL
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '68 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
You don't know how it feels but someday you will
At the moment you can't see what you're doing to me
You don't know how I feel but someday you will
It don't mean a thing to you all this hurt I'm going through
You don't know how it feels but someday you will
Someday you're gonna know what it's like to be blue
When the one you're hurting me for gets around to hurting you
Right now you can't visualize tears like mine in your eyes
You don't know how they feel but someday you will
[ steel ]
Someday you're gonna know...
You don't know how they feel but someday you will

SHE MADE ME GO
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '68 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Everybody thinks that I walked out on her
They're calling me a no good so and so
Why can I make them see that though I walked away
I didn't want to leave she made me go
What makes them think I'll give up everything I love
There's a lot of things that they don't know
I've been accused of everything she's guilty of
I didn't want to leave she made me go
She told everyone I didn't want to stay
But I'll tell you her story isn't so
I'd give anything if it were that way
I didn't want to leave she made me go
[ fiddle ]
With her act I guess that she has fooled the town
With her phoney tips she's quite a show
My heart tells me that I'm the biggest fool around
Cause I love her though she made me go
She told everyone I didn't want to stay...
I didn't want to leave she made me go

RIGHT TO DO WRONG
(Jerry Foster)
« © '68 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
You gave me every right to love you
Now you prefer that I leave you alone
You push me away from you and every time you do
You're giving me the right to do wrong
You don't seem to notice that I need you
If you care at all it's never shown
Each time you wound my pride by pushing me aside
You're giving me the right to do wrong
By causing me to turn to nameless faces
For a love that I can't find at home
By forcing me to look in other places
You're giving me the right to do wrong
Perhaps the day will come when you want me
But you'll find the love I had for you is gone
Then while I'll live in shame you can share the blame
Forgiving me the right to do wrong
Forgiving me the right to do wrong

EASY PART'S OVER
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '68 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
The easy part's over now it's time to cry
The easiest part of all was saying goodbye
The easy part's over now and you are gone
Now comes the hardest part living alone
Time is the only friend that I have left here with me
How can those healing hands of time erase your memory
The easy part's over now we've come to the end
The easy part's over now and the hard part begins
Time is the only friend...

DAY YOU STOP LOVING ME
(Ray Buzzeo)
« © '67 Shirl Ray Music, BMI »
The world will tumble from its axes the sun will be covered by the sea
The moon will burn and turn to ashes the day you stop loving me
You gave me love and with your giving you opened my eyes and made them see
My life will cease to be worth living the day you stop loving me
[ steel ]
Once there was only the beginning nothing but darkness over land and sea
My life would be like the beginning the day you stop loving me
You gave me love and with your giving you made me the man I was born to be
My life will cease to be worth living the day you stop loving me
The day you stop loving me

I COULD HAVE SAVED YOU THE TIME
(Jack Clement)
« © '68 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
You wanted to know that you could break my heart
But I could have told you you could
You just had to see if I'd go to pieces
But I could have told you I would
Just think of the time not to mention the trouble
That you threw away on a heart like mine
If you just have to prove that you could destroy me
I could have saved you the time
[ steel ]
And so now you know that I can be foolish
But I could have told you it's true
And so now you see that I have a glass heart
But I could have told you I do
There may come a time you may run into trouble
You might find the need for a love like mine
If you're wondering which fool will be waiting for you
I could have saved you the time

ONE OF THESE DAYS
(Vincent Matthews)
« © '63 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
One of these days one of these days
I'll spend more time with you I'll do more things for you
To show you how much I love you one of these days
One of these days one of these days
When our children can share us when our duties can spare us
And our problems fade away one of these days
One of these days one of these days
When my job don't demand me and my work leaves some time free
When our fortune is made one of these days
[ steel ]
One of these days one of these days
Till then please believe me and don't ever leave me
Believe me when I say one of these days one of these days

ALL THE TIME
(Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker)
« © '58 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
All the time yes darling all the time
Through the years through smiles or tears I'll love you
Every day I'll prove it every way
Through the years through smiles or tears I'll love you
Other arms may tempt me but don't let that bother you
For even if they tempt me I'll never be untrue
All the time yes darling all the time
Through the years through smiles or tears I'll love you
Other arms may tempt me...

MY HEART IS A HOUSE
(Ray Winkler - Billy Deaton - John Hathcock)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
My heart is a house and love lives inside my heart
Has a door and to you it's open wide
And all that it needs is for someone to care
My heart is a house would you like to live there
If you moved into my heart you'll find the world of bliss
And when the rent comes due you can pay it with a kiss
You don't need to leave your promise will do
Walk into my heart it's a house built for you
[ steel ]
The key to my heart only you will possess
Come in then lock the door we can live in happiness
We'll fill all the rooms with the love that is true
Come into my heart it's a house built for you
Come into my heart it's a house built for you

LET ME HELP YOU WORK IT OUT
(Jerry Foster)
« © '68 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
There is something in your heart weighing heavy on your mind
You need gentle arms to hold you like these gentle arms of mine
You need love and understanding and the shoulder you can cry on
You need someone to rely on you don't have to be alone
Let me help you work it out help you face the situation
Count on me for consolation let me help you work it out
[ piano ]
Let me help you work it out I'm the one who'll always care
When you need me I'll be there let me help you work it out
Let me help you work it out...

BOTH OF US LOVE YOU
(Red Lane)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You think only of yourself I think only of you too
What chance for me is left since both of us love you
We only think we agree on it's not to make you blue
We have a lot in common seems both of us love you
Seems both of us love you
[ steel ]
How lonely I will be with all the love between us two
None of it belongs to me cause both of us love you
The only part I play is that other fool
Unwanted I keep staying just helping you love you
Yes both of us love you yes both of us love you

TOP OF THE WORLD
(Johnny Irwin)
« © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
How's the view from the top of the world
I wonder are you still my girl
From so far above me can you hear my plea
Wait for me at the top of the world
I just thought you might like to know
That someone down here below
Is hopefully climbing the ladder of fortune
Don't step on my fingers don't make me let go
From your view at the top of the world
Do you remember you're still my girl
Or have you forgotten your promise to me
That we'd meet at the top of the world
