DARK MOON

(Ned Miller) « © '56 Jamie Music, BMI »
Dark moon a way up high up in the sky
Oh tell me why oh tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon what is the cause your light withdraws
Is it because is it because I've lost my love
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love can sometimes bring
Dark moon a way up high...

OH HOW I MISS YOU TONIGHT

(Benny Davis - Joe Burke - Mark Fisher) « © '60 Benny Davis Music, ASCAP / Bourne Co, ASCAP / Music Sales, ASCAP »
(Oh how I miss you tonight)

Oh how I miss you tonight miss you when lights are low
Oh how I need you tonight more than you'll ever know
Each moment that we're apart you're never out of my heart
I'd rather be lonely and wait for you only sweetheart how I miss you tonight
Each moment that we're apart...
(Oh how I miss you)

TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS AND HOLD ME

(Cindy Walker) « © '49 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Take me in your arms and hold me like I've been holding you in my heart
Take me in your arms and tell me that you've missed me since we've been apart
You just don't know how heartsick and lonesome I've been
Or how much I've prayed that you'd come back again
And take me in your arms and hold me like I've been holding you in my heart
[ strings ] You just don't know how...

I'M GETTIN' BETTER

(Jim Reeves) « © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I walked by the river where we said goodbye
Thought of your kisses and didn't even cry
I'm gettin' better I'm gettin' better
I talked with an old friend he asked about you
I managed to tell him with just a tear or two
I'm gettin' better I'm gettin' better
I know I'll never be the same I was standing too close to the flame
But it doesn't hurt so much to hear your name
I think I'll make it I'm gettin' better

ALMOST

(Vic McAlpin - Jack Toombs) « © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Almost you fell in love with me almost you were my bride to be
But each promise that was made you have broken and betrayed
And left me with a faded memory
Almost my precious dreams came true almost you whispered dear I do
But someone new came by and you left me here to cry
Oh how close we were almost
[ strings ] Almost your heart I did possess almost you brought me happiness
But my dreams just won't come true and there's nothing I can do
Oh how close we were almost

YOU'RE FREE TO GO

(Don Robertson - Lou Hersher) « © '55 Don Robertson Music, ASCAP / Accaida Music, ASCAP »
You're free to go darling I'll break the ties that bind
Somehow the dreams we planned have gone astray
You're free to go darling so ease your worried mind I'll never stand in your way
There's no ring or shining gold so strong that it can hold
A heart when it longs to be free
The lips are cold darling that once said yes to me
The tender glow is gone I know you're free to go
There's no ring or shining gold...

YOU'RE THE ONLY GOOD THING

(Jack Toombs - Chuck Gregory) « © '54 Golden West Melodies, BMI »
Are you thinking that I wasn't meant for you
Could it be you believe that I've been untrue
Listen sweetheart this just cannot be
For you're the only good thing that's happened to me
We've had our ups and downs like all lovers do
But you know in your heart that I worship you
So don't ever think of setting me free
For you're the only good thing that's happened to me
[ guitar ] We've had our ups and downs...

HAVE I STAYED AWAY TOO LONG

(Frank Loesser) « © '43 Frank Music, ASCAP »
Have I stayed away too long have I stayed away too long
If I came home tonight would you still be my darling or have I stayed away too long
Thwe love light that shone so strong pretty love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight would that same light be burnin'
Or have I stayed away too long
I'm just outside of town I'll soon be at your door
Or maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there
I'd best keep out of town and worry you no more
For maybe someone else has made you care
Have all my dreams gone wrong all my beautiful dreams gone wrong
If I came home tonight would you still be my darling or have I stayed away too long

NO ONE TO CRY TO

(Foy Willing - Sid Robin) « © '46 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Mhm no one to cry to no one to say goodnight no one to tell my troubles to
No one to sigh to no one to hold me tight no one to cheer me when I'm blue
I go home to my lonely room and find there's no one there
And each night I think of you please answer this one prayer
And give me someone to cry to someone to say I do someone to whisper I love you
I go home to my lonely room...

I WAS JUST WALKIN' OUT THE DOOR

(Cindy Walker) « © '60 Golden West Melodies, BMI »
I was just walkin' out the door it's too bad you didn't come before
I waited so long so long so long now there's no time to wait anymore
How I cried for you day and night and for the letters that you didn't write
But now it's alright alright alright you won't have to write anymore
Not so long ago you will never know what this day to me could have been
But it's all changed now darling anyhow it was nice to see you again
Well it's almost a quarter to four sorry I can't stay anymore
Must be on my way this is my wedding day and I was just walkin' out the door
I was just walkin' out the door

ROOM FULL OF ROSES

(Tim Spencer) « © '49 Unichappell Music, BMI »
If I sent a rose to you for every time you made me blue
You'd have a room full of roses
If I sent a rose of white for every time I cried all night
You'd have a room full of roses
And if you took the petals and tore them fall apart
You'd be tearing at the roses just the way you tore my heart
And if someday you're feeling blue you could send some roses too
I don't want a room full of roses I just want my arms full of you
[ strings ] And if someday you're feeling blue...

WE COULD

(Felice Bryant) « © '55 House Of Bryant, BMI »
If anyone could find the joy that true love brings a girl and boy
We could we could you and I
If anyone could ever say that their true love was here to stay
We could we could you and I
When you're in my arms I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you I'm happy anywhere
If anyone could pray each night and thank the Lord that all is right
We could we could you and I
[ strings ] When you're in my arms...
