BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX

(Jim Webb) « © '67 Sosaha Music, BMI / Jonathan Three Music, BMI »
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left upon her door
And she'll laugh at word that says I'm leaving
Oh I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll probably stop for lounch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone go right a ringing
Off the wall that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Cause time and time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go

AM I THAT EASY TO FORGET

(Carl Belew - W.S. Stevenson) « © '59 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
They say you've found somebody new but that don't stop my loving you
I just can't let you walk away forget the love I had for you

Yes I could find somebody too but I don't want no one but you
How can you leave without regret am I that easy to forget

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

LOVE IS BLUE

(Bryan Blackburn - Pierre Lemaire - Andre Popp) « © '67 Intersong USA, ASCAP / Radmus Publishing, ASCAP »
Blue blue my world is blue blue is my world since I'm without you
Grey grey my life is grey cold is my heart since you went away

Red red my eyes are red crying for you alone in my bed
Green green my jealous heart I doubted you and now we're apart

When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died now the rainbow is gone
[ strings ] Black black the nights I've known longing for you so lost and alone
Gone gone the love we knew blue is my world since I'm without you

OH VIRGINIA

(Marty Robbins) « © '66 Mariposa Music, BMI »
How many roses have faded and died Virginia
How many tears since I've walked by your side Virginia
Too many moonlights have come and gone
Too many sunups and too many sundowns
Too many teardrops and too many roses have died

I'm like I was sad like the day we parted
I'm just the same lonely and still broken hearted
Maybe I'm older but nothing's changed
Love grows no colder I still feel the same
Life has been empty but I've learned to live it Virginia

Oh Virginia when will I stop loving you will it go on forever
Oh Virginia when will these dreams that I dream of you stop maybe never
How many times when your vision appears
I've tried to hold you and you disappeared
And I find the arms that once held you are empty Virginia

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

(Marty Robbins - Bob Mersey) « © '68 Mariposa Music, BMI »
(Goodbye my love goodbye my love)

This is goodbye my love try not to cry my love
Kiss me and miss me love until we meet again
No lips will touch my own each night I'll walk alone
This kiss will be my last until we meet again

From taps till reveille you'll be the dream I'm dreaming
Till I return no arms will hold me until then
This is goodbye my love try not to cry my love
Kiss me and miss me love until we meet again

From taps till reveille you'll be the dream...
(Goodbye my love) this is goodbye

YESTERDAY

(John Lennon - Paul McCartney) « © '65 ATV Tunes, ASCAP »
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There is a shadow hanging over me yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away oh I believe in yesterday
[ horns ] Yesterday love was such an easy...
I believe in yesterday

AS TIME GOES BY

(Herman Hupfeld) « © '31 WB Music, ASCAP »
You must remember this a kiss is still a kiss a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply as time goes by
And when two lovers woo they still say I love you on that you can rely
No matter what the future brings as time goes by

Moonlight and love songs never out of date
Hearts full of passion jealousy and hate
Woman needs man and man must have his mate that no one can deny
It's still the same old story a fight for love and glory a case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by

Moonlight and love songs...

THAT OLD FEELING

(Lew Brown - Sammy Fain) « © '56 Fain Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by I felt the thrill
And when you caught my eye my heart stood still

Once again I seem to feel that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me it's useless to start
Cause that old feeling is still in my heart

There'll be no new romance for me it's foolish to start
Cause that old feeling is still in my heart

TO BE IN LOVE WITH HER

(Marty Robbins) « © '66 Mariposa Music, BMI »
Some people say that she's really no good
Others have said she drinks more than she should
And that it's hopeless and really no good
To be in love with her

She got the worst of a careless romance
Love's little arrow was more like a lance
But still I'm happy and I'm glad for the chance
To be in love with her

She tells too many jokes she takes too many smokes
Spends her money much too fast
She still has her pride and she's only tryin' to hide
Disappointments of the past

Maybe she's seen with the wrong kind of crowd
Maybe she laughs just a little too loud
I know she's good and I know that I'm proud
To be in love with her

YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU (I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT)

(Joseph McCarthy - James V. Monaco) « © '40 Broadway Music, ASCAP / Edwin H Morris Co, ASCAP »
You made me love you I didn't wanna do it I didn't wanna do it
You made me love you and all the time you knew it I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes you made me glad
But there were times when you made me feel so bad

You made me sigh cause I didn't wanna tell you I didn't wanna tell you
I need some love that's true yes I do indeed I do you know I do
Gimme gimme gimme gimme what I cry for
You know you got the kind of kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you

(You made me sigh for) I didn't wanna tell you I didn't wanna tell you
(I need some love that's true) yes I do indeed I do you know I do
Gimme gimme gimme gimme...
You know you made me love you
