TOO WEAK TO LET YOU GO

(Donn Tankersley - Bob Robison) « © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I was on the rebound from a broken love affair
When I first caught a glimpse of her in you
And though you never measured up to what she meant to me
I couldn't find the words to tell you so

Cause I'm not strong enough to leave you and too weak to let you go
You give me precious love to hold on to
But somehow deep inside I've got a feeling that you know
I'm not strong enough to leave you and too weak to let you go
[ steel ] Never once did you hold back the love you had for me
I guess you thought my love for you would grow
But women have a funny way of seein' through a man
But if you knew you never told me so

Cause I'm not strong enough to leave you and too weak to let you go...
No I'm not strong enough to leave you and too weak to let you go

SHE'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

(Johnny Duncan) « © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Sometimes late at night I wake up dreamin'
I reach and feel for her she's too good to be true
Then I touch the sleepin' softness of my angel
And half asleep she turns to whisper I love you

Cause she's just too good to be true but she is
And in my arms she reassures me with a kiss
She's everything I ever looked for in a woman
She's just too good to be true but she is
[ steel + fiddle ] Each day I go to work is like forever
Till that evenin' sun will bring me home again
But then she's a waitin' at the door with her sweet lovin'
And tonight she'll be so good to me again

Cause she's just too good to be true but she is...
She's just too good to be true but she is

SHE'S THAT KIND

(Ben Peters) « © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
She can take the mornin' rain fallin' on my window pane
And turn it into sunshine in my mind
And she can take the darkest night and brighten it with a love sweet light
And I'm satisfied just knowin' she's that kind
And I can feel so down and out but she knows what it's all about
And she can help me leave it all behind
There's sometin' in the way she smiles that seems to brighten all my trials
It's good to know my woman is that kind

She's that kind and I'm thankful to the Lord above
For sendin' me that kind of woman for me to love
If I could live another life and I could choose another wife
I wouldn't change a thing cause she's that kind
[ guitar ] She's that kind and I'm thankful to the Lord above...
No I wouldn't change a thing cause she's that kind

YOU WERE ALL THE GOOD IN ME

(Shirley Ann Worth) « © '72 Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Before there ever came the time that I could realize
That you meant all the world to me
You turned and I was gone to find the good life I'd been missin'
But you were all the good there was in me

I went from bad to worse and back to find the good times
But it took a time like this to make me see
I searched high and low to justify my reason
But you were all the good there ever was in me
[ steel ] It's sad to think that much too late I've come to understand
That all the world was laying at my feet
I kicked aside the love that means much more than life does now
And you were all the good there was in me

I went from bad to worse and back to find the good times...
Yes you were all the good there ever was in me

GIVE A LONELY HEART A HOME

(Cile Davis Pitts - Janices Pitts) « © '72 Faron Young Music, ASCAP »
Well could that look I see on you mean that you might be lonely too
Well you don't have to feel so bad you're not the only one that's sad
Just look at all the hearts in town you're lookin' for the lost and found
For someone special just like you might come along and give a lonely heart a home

Just give a lonely heart a home one it can call its very own
And you can have true love from this moment on just give a lonely heart a home

Well just look close and you might find the saddest heart in town is mine
And should we give true love a try our hearts just might see eye to eye
So if you're lookin' for a way to do your good deed for today
The one thing you could do and not go wrong is give a lonely heart a home
So just give a lonely heart a home one it can call its very own...

GOOD HEARTED WOMAN

(Waylon Jennings - Willie Nelson) « © '71 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI / Full Nelson Music, BMI »
A long time forgotten are dreams that just fell by the way
And the good life he promised ain't what she's livin' today
But she never complains of the bad times or bad things he's done no
She just talks about the good times they've had and all the good times to come

Cause she's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
And she loves him in spite of his ways that she don't understand
Well now through teardrops and laughter
They'll pass through this world hand in hand Lord
Cause she's a good hearted woman lovin' her good timin' man

He likes the night life and bright lights and good timin' friends
And when the party's over she'll welcome him back home again
Lord knows she don't understand him but she does the best that she can
Cause she's a good hearted woman she loves her good timin' man

Yes she's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man...
Yes she's a good hearted woman she loves her good timin' man

I LOVE YOU MORE IN MEMORY

(L.E. White) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Just outside my window there's a sound that I can't stand
The cold night rain is fallin' and the cryin' lonesome wind
It's telling me you're gone and he's with you now tonight
But I still love you more in memory than he can holdin' you tight

There were times when you were happy but just for a while
Then the hunger for his love came and took away your smile
While you're in his arms you'll be in my dreams tonight
But I still love you more in memory than he can holding you tight

You know I love you and I know how hard you tried
But there's a part of you I never could satisfy
So I'm losing your sweet love oh just a little more each night
But I still love you more in memory than he can holdin' you tight
But I still love you more in memory than he can holdin' you tight

MY LOVE IS DEEP MY LOVE IS WIDE

(Ben Peters) « © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
My love is deep my love is wide
You can't see across to the other side
My love is deep my love is wide
I got too much love for you for me to try to hide

People say I'm not the man that they used to know
Somethin' made a change come over me
And when I feel such happiness I guess it's gotta show
Cause I'm a happy man that's plain to see

Cause baby my love is deep my love is wide...
[ steel ] When I'm gone the only thing I think about is you
And all the sweet love that you give to me
And you're a part of ev'ry single thing I ever do
And that's the way it's always gonna be

Cause baby my love is deep my love is wide...
I've got too much love for you for me too hard to hide

DARLIN' THINK OF ME EVERY NOW AND THEN

(Johnny Duncan) « © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Tonight here in your arms is where I've longed to be
To feel you close and warm is heaven next to me
You'll never know how many times I've pictured us this way
But let's not waste tonight with words tomorrow's far away

So darlin' think of me ev'ry now and then
And when you feel the need for love well you know where I am
And let this fire that burns tonight light your way to me again
And darlin' think of me ev'ry now and then

Your lips are sweet and warm like I always knew they'd be
But desire was just a word till tonight when you touched me
And if one night of love with you is all I ever spend
Right now just hold me close and know you've always got a friend

So darlin' think of me ev'ry now and then...
And darlin' think of me ev'ry now and then

I'M BUILDING BRIDGES

(Bud Reneau - Steve Monahan) « © '72 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I've been working ev'ry day since you've been gone
Ending the roads that our love once traveled on
And I'll have you back when I am through
Cause I'm building bridges that will take me back to you

Little things to show my love for you I'll find
And I'll send them with flowers to keep me on your mind
To be with you there is nothing I won't do
Cause I'm building bridges that will take me back to you

I'll have you back just as sure as tomorrow will come
Spanning the canyons between us till I cross ev'ry one
Cause I'm building bridges that will take me back to you

I'll be sunshine when the dark clouds fill your sky
I'll be food when you're hungry and water when you're dry
And I'll have you back when I am through
Cause I'm building bridges that will take me back to you
Cause I'm building bridges that will take me back to you
