LITTLE SENTIMENTAL
(Joe Babcock)
« © '61 Unichappell Music, BMI / Elvis Presley Music, BMI »
Sitting here with you don't know why I'm blue
Just a feeling that I've had right from the start
Something bout your smile that lingers for a while
Stirs an old time mem'ry in my heart
Don't mind me if I'm a little sentimental
Don't mind me I'm not about to cry
It's just a thought that I remember
Left over from a time in days gone by
Don't mind me if I'm a little melancholy
Thinking of someone that I love so
Don't mind me if I'm a little sentimental
You remind me of the girl I used to know
[ piano ]
Don't mind me if I'm a little melancholy...

HURT
(Jamie Crane - Al Jacobs)
« © '53 Miller Catalog, ASCAP »
I'm hurt to think that you lied to me
Hurt way down deep inside of me
You said you loved me and we'd never part
Now you found someone new and it breaks my heart
Hurt much more than you'll ever know
Hurt because I still love you so
Even though you've hurt me like no one else can do
I could never know never hurt you
[ guitar ]
Even though you've hurt me like no one else can do
I could never know never hurt you

TO EACH HIS OWN
(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans)
« © '46 Paramount Music, ASCAP »
A rose must remain with the sun and the rain
Or its lovely promise won't come true
To each his own to each his own for me there's you
Two lips must insist on two more to be kissed
Or they'll never know what love can do
To each his own to each his own for me there's you
If a flame is to grow there must be a glow
To open each door there's a key
I need you I know I can't let you go
Your touch means too much to me dear
What good is a song if the words don't belong
And a dream must be a dream for two
No good alone I found own my one and only you

I CAN'T HELP IT (IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU)
(Hank Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Today I passed you on the street and my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side and he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Well suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
It hurts to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

ANSWER ME MY LOVE
(Carl Sigman - Gerhard Winkler - Fred Rauch)
« © '54 Bourne Co, ASCAP »
Answer me oh my love just what sin have I've been guilty of
Tell me how I came to lose your love please answer me sweetheart
You were mine yesterday I believed that love was here to stay
Will you tell me where I've gone astray please answer me my love
If you're happier without me I'll try not to care
But if you still care about me please listen to my prayer
You should know I've been blue will you say we can start anew
In my sorrow now I turn to you please answer me my love
If you're happier without me...
Answer me my love

CLARA
(Marty Robbins)

Clara Clare where can you be Clara Clare come back to me
I love you honestly think of you constantly Clara come back to me
Friends ask about you why I'm here without you
So hard to explain but I'll try
You found a new love said we were through love
Sometimes I wish I could die
Clara Clare where can you be Clara Clare come back to me
I love you honestly think of you constantly Clara Clara where can you be

HALF AS MUCH
(Curley Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down
If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I could never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
[ guitar ]
I know that I could never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

ARE YOU SINCERE
(Wayne P.Walker)
« © '57 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Are you sincere when you say I love you
Are you sincere when you say I'll be true
Do you mean every word that my ears have heard
I'd like to know which way to go will our love grow are you sincere
Are you sincere when you say you miss me
Are you sincere every time you kiss me
And are you really mine every day all the time
I'd like to know which way to go will our love grow are you sincere
And are you really mine...

GUESS I'LL BE GOING
(Marty Robbins)
« © '61 Mariposa Music, BMI »
Here we are but we're not close together we sit far apart in a room
It's over I guess I'll be going it's a pity love and then so soon
You're waiting for someone to phone you you're watching the clock while you speak
It's over I guess I'll be going but the truth leaves me helpless at week
I hear his car in the driveway for the last time can I hold you tight
This moment must last me forever I guess I'll be going goodnight
I guess I'll be going goodnight

TO THINK YOU'VE CHOSEN ME
(Bennie Benjamin - George Weiss)
« © '61 Abilene Music, ASCAP / Claude A Music, ASCAP »
It isn't just the way you smile that warms my heart
And sends those shivers through my fingertips
But everytime I look at you I'm all aglow
To know you chosen me to share your hips
It isn't just the way you speak that thrills me so
It haunts darling even when you're gone
But everytime I hold you close a fire stops
To think you chosen me to smile upon
I still remember the night that I found you
Other arms embraced you every dance
I stood there watching as they crowded around you
I was sure that I didn't stand the chance
It isn't just the way you said I love you so
The thrill is that it's been for me alone
And as the years go by my love for you will grow
To think you chosen me to be your own
To think you chosen me to be your own

TOO YOUNG
(Sylvia Dee - Sidney Lippman)
« © '51 Aria Music, ASCAP / Edward Proffitt Music, ASCAP »
They try to tell us we're too young too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word a word'd be only heard
And can't begin to know the meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then someday they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young...
