HAVE YOU EVER BEEN LONELY (HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BLUE)

(George Brown - Peter DeRose - Billy Hill) « © '33 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
Have you ever been lonely have you ever been blue
Have you ever loved someone just as I love you

Can't you see I'm sorry for each mistake I've made
Can't you see I've changed dear can't you see I've paid

Be a little forgiving take me back in your heart
How can I go on living now that we're apart

If you knew what I've been through then you'd know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely have you ever been blue
[ strings ] If you knew what I've been through...

THERE'S ALWAYS ME

(Don Robertson) « © '61 Don Robertson Music, ASCAP »
When the evening shadows fall and your wondering who to call
For a little company there's always me
Or if your great romance should end and you're lonesome for a friend
Darling you need never be there's always me
I don't seem to mind somehow playing second fiddle now
Someday you'll want me dear and when that day is here
Within my arms you'll come to know other loves may come and go
But my love for you will be eternally look around and you will see there's always me

JUST WALKING IN THE RAIN

(Bob Riley - Johnny Bragg - Buddy Killen) « © '56 Golden West Melodies, BMI »
(Just walking in the rain lonely and blue)

Just walking in the rain getting soak and wet
Torturing my heart by trying to forget so alone and blue
All because my heart still remembers you

People come to windows they all stare at me
They shake their heads in sorrow saying who can this fool be
Just walking in rain thinking how we met
Knowing things have changed somehow I can't forget
[ sax] People come to windows...
(Just walking in the rain)

BE HONEST WITH ME

(Gene Autry - Fred Rose) « © '56 Western Music, ASCAP / Milene Music, ASCAP »
Be honest with me dear whatever you do
Remember you're mine dear so always be true
Wherever you wander on land or on sea
If you really love me be honest with me

My poor heart would break dear if you were untrue
Asleep or awake dear I'll dream about you
For you are my darling you're all that I see
If you really love me be honest with me
[ sax] Be honest with me dear whatever you do...

WELCOME TO MY WORLD

(Ray Winkler - John Hathcock) « © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Welcome to my world won't you come on in
Miracles I guess still happen now and then
Step into my heart leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world built with you in mind

Knock and the door will open seek and you will find
Ask and you'll be given to keep this world of mine
I'll be waiting here with my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you welcome to my world
[ strings ] Waiting just for you welcome to my world

IT'S NO SIN

(Chester R. Schull - George Hoven) « © '61 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Take away the breath of flowers it would surely be a sin
Take the rain from April showers it's a sin
Take away the violins dear from a lovely symphony
And the music deep within would seems to be
Is it a sin to love you so to hold you close and know you are leaving
Though you take away my heart dear still the beatin' there within
I'll keep loving you forever for it's no sin
[ strings ] (To hold you close and know you are leaving)
Though you take away my heart dear...

I FALL TO PIECES

(Harlan Howard - Hank Cochran) « © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces how can I be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
[ sax ] (I fall to pieces) each time someone speaks your name
(I fall to pieces) time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces

AM I THAT EASY TO FORGET

(Carl Belew - W.S. Stevenson) « © '59 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(Am I that easy to forget)

They say you've found somebody new but that won't stop my loving you
I just can't let you walk away forget the love I had for you
Guess I could find somebody too but I don't want no one but you
How could you leave without regret am I that easy to forget

Before you leave be sure you find you want his love much more than mine
Cause I'll just say we've never met if I'm that easy to forget
[ strings ] Before you leave be sure you find...

BLUE SKIES

(Irving Berlin) « © '61 Irving Berlin Music, ASCAP »
Blue skies smiling at me nothing but blue skies do I see
Blue bird's singing a song nothing but blue bird's all day long
I never saw the sun shining so bright never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurryin' by when you're in love my how they fly
Blue days all of them gone nothing but blue skies from now on
[ sax - guitar ] Blue skies smiling at me...

ALL DRESSED UP AND LONELY

(Eddy Shaw) « © '61 Peer International, BMI »
I put your favorite suit on and the tie that you loved so
I'm all dressed up and lonely with no place to go
I could go to a movie but in almost every show
You see a happy ending and that would hurt me so

I'll just stay at home and make believe that you are by my side
And when it's time to say goodnight I know that I will cry
So I'll just kiss your picture and the tears will fall I know
I'm all dressed up and lonely with no place to go
[ guitar - flute ] I'm all dressed up and lonely with no place to go
(All dressed up and lonely) with no place to go

WILD ROSE

(Cindy Walker) « © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »
A rose should be where the sun shines through
Not where the wine is red and the smoke is blue
A rose should be blooming in the light
Not in a randezvous blooming in the night

And you are a rose may be a wild rose
But I'll be proud to take you home for all to see
To stand with me where the candles glow
With orange blossoms all around the wild wild rose
[ strings ] And you are a rose...

I'M A FOOL TO CARE

(Ted Daffan) « © '54 Peer International, BMI »
I'm a fool to care when you treat me this way
I know I love you but what can I do I'm a fool to care
I'm a fool to cry when you tell me goodbye
You left me so blue when you were untrue I'm a fool to care
I know I should laugh and call it a day but I know I would cry if you go away
I'm a fool to care when you don't care for me
Why should I pretend I'd lose in the end I'm a fool to care
[ strings ] I'm a fool to care...
