TEARDROPS IN MY HEART
(Vaughn Horton)
« © '46 Cromwell Music, ASCAP »
You'll never know I cried when I found out you lied
For I've been hidin' all these teardrops in my heart
My eyes they're not reveal the way I really feel
Because I know I'll cry my heart out if I start
Though I'm pretending that I don't care
To be with you my darling is my prayer
But way down deep inside I can't give up my pride
So I'll just keep on hidin' teardrops in my heart
Though I'm pretending...

I GET THE BLUES WHEN IT RAINS
(Marcy Klauber - Harry Stoddard)
« © '57 Forster Music, ASCAP »
I get the blues when it rains the blues I can't lose when it rains
Each little drop that falls on my window pane
Always reminds me of tears I've shed in vain
I sit and wait for the sun to shine down on me once again
It rained when I found you rained when I lost you
That's why I get the blues when it rains
[ guitar ]
I get the blues when it rains...

YOU BELONG TO ME
(Pee Wee King - Redd Stewart - Chilton Price)
« © '52 Ridgeway Music, BMI »
See the piramids along the Nile watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember darling all the while you belong to me
See the market place in old Algirs send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears you belong to me
I'll be so alone with you maybe you'll be lonesome too and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane see the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again you belong to me
(I'll be so alone with you maybe you'll be lonesome too and blue)
Fly the ocean in a silver plane...

EVERYWHERE YOU GO
(Larry Shay - Joe Goodwin - Mark Fisher)
« © '57 Lombardo Music, ASCAP / Music By Shay, ASCAP »
Everywhere you go sunshine follows you everywhere you go skies are always blue
Children love you they seem to know you bring the roses out of the snow
The whole world says hello everywhere you go
[ piano ]
(Everywhere you everywhere you go) sunshine follows you
(Everywhere you everywhere you go) sunshine follows you the skies are always blue
Children love you...

NEED ME
(Jim Reeves)
« © '57 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You can go where you wanna go even sail the ocean blue
Just need me as much as I need you
You can do what you wanna do and I'll bless each little thing you do
Just need me that's all I ask of you
It would please me to know that you need me when the road is dark where you walk
Please let me know that you need me to listen while you talk
Go where you wanna go even sail the ocean blue
Just need me that's all I need to know
It would please me to know...

I CARE NO MORE
(Jesse Ashlock)
« © '57 Unichappell Music, BMI »
My love is gone my pride is gone I care no more
My heart is tired from loving you I care no more
I don't regret when first we met when love was there
Now love is gone life lingers on I just don't care
Love is a thing that is crazy for all no matter who
I had my love but I lost it all when I lost you
It never should have happened and it won't no more
My love is gone my pride is gone I care no more
(Love is a thing that is crazy for all no matter who)
I had my love...

MY HAPPINESS
(Betty Peterson - Barney Bergantine)
« © '57 Happiness Music, ASCAP »
Evening shadows make me blue when each weary day is through
How I long to be with you my happiness
Everyday I reminisce dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss my happiness
A million years it seems have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again there'll be no blue memories then
Whether skies are grey or blue anyplace on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you my happiness
A million years it seems...

YOURS (QUIEREME MUCHO)
(Jack Sherr - Albert Gamse - Gonzalo Roig)
« © '41 Edward B Marks Music, BMI »
Yours till the stars lose their glory yours till the birds fall to sing
Yours to the end of life's story this pledge to you dear I bring
Yours in the gray of December here or on a far distant shore
I've never loved anyone the way I love you
How could I when I was born to be just yours
[ guitar ]
Yours in the gray of December...

THAT'S MY DESIRE
(Carroll Loveday - Helmy Kresa)
« © '31 Mills Music, ASCAP / Music Sales, ASCAP »
To spend one night with you in our old randezvous
And reminisce with you that's my desire
To meet where gypsies play down in some dim cafe
And dance till break of day that's my desire
We'll sip a little glass of wine I'll gaze into your eyes divine
I'll feel the touch of your lips pressing on mine
To hear you whisper low just when it's time to go
Cherie I love you so that's my desire
We'll sip a little glass of wine...

BLUES IN MY HEART
(Jenny Lou Carson - Red Foley)
« © '57 Unichappell Music, BMI »
(Wish I could lose these blues in my heart)
Blues in my heart oh how it aches nobody knows the sorrow it takes
I should have known right from the start you'd leave me with these blues in my heart
(Gone is the love I couldn't hold just like a lamb that's straight from the fold)
What can I do what can I say blues in my heart have got me this way
Rain's falling down down from the sky why even the sun's beginning to cry
Everything's wrong since we're apart wish I could lose these blues in my heart

I DON'T SEE ME IN YOUR EYES ANYMORE
(Bennie Benjamin - George Weiss)
« © '57 Abilene Music, ASCAP / Claude A Music, ASCAP »
I don't see me in your eyes anymore oh why can't I make them shine as before
I don't see you or your heart in a kiss when you should sigh you're mine you resist
There was a time love was fine lovee was extasy
But now I doubt what the outcome will be
I pray you'll say I'm the one you adore
And I'll see me in your eyes as before
[ piano ]
There was a time...

FINAL AFFAIR
(Jim Reeves)
« © '57 Tree Publishing, BMI »
This is my final affair it's over and now I don't care
I've been in love and I found it hurts when your heart's kicked around
This is my final romance I know it's not worth a chance
I'm bluer than I was before I won't fall in love anymore
It's too much to ask of someone to give their love their heart their all
To someone who's only pretending and calls you a fool when you fall
This is my final romance I know it's not worth a chance
My heart's beyond all repair and this is my final affair
(It's too much to ask of someone to give their love their heart their all)
To someone who's only pretending...
