RUN AWAY LITTLE TEARS
(Dallas Frazier) « © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »Run away little tears you've been locked up too long
Run away little tears our baby's gone
I look at his picture touch an ole souvenir
And then grow weak from holding back these locked up tears
Run away little tears you've been locked up too long...
[ piano - guitar ] A storm of emotion keeps on working within
Breaking down a heart that only he could mend
Run away little tears you've been locked up too long...
Run away little tears our baby's gone

SUNSHINE OF MY WORLD
(Dallas Frazier) « © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »A million violins could never sound sweeter than your name
Hold me close and tell me baby tell me you're not a dream
The wind of love has picked me up and spun me around in a whirl
Baby you're the sunshine of my world
The little things you do like runnin' a your fingers through my hair
Brings on a burnin' fever almost too warm to bear
If love was treasure I would have the world's most precious pearl
Baby you're the sunshine of my world
Up on a mountain top we'll build a cabin and move in to stay
A livin' on nothin' but love from day to day
And if I ever get to feelin' your sunshine slippin' away
Then baby I want you to touch your lips to mine
And make a little sunshine
Each day the skies above change into a bluer blue
Each day a little more sunshine is shinin' out from you
A tear of joy reminds me I'm the world's most lucky girl
Baby you're the sunshine of my world
Baby you're the sunshine of my world

THAT'S ALL THIS OLD WORLD NEEDS
(Bob Tubert - Demetrius Tapp) « © '67 Vintage Music, BMI »That's all this old world needs
That's all this old world needs
A little more love and sweet devotion
A little less hate and wild commotion
That's all this world needs
That's all this old world needs
That's all this old world needs
A little more truth and no more lies
And only rain fallin' from the skies
That's all this world needs
A little less envy a little less greed
A little more lookin' to your brother's need
A little more laughter a little more song
In a world where people know right from wrong
That's all this old world needs
That's all this old world needs
Innocence of children ev'rywhere
The peacefulness of an evening prayer
That's all this world needs
[ guitar ] A little less envy a little less greed...
That's all this old world needs
That's all this old world needs
A little more love and sweet devotion
A little less hate and wild commotion
That's all this world needs
That's all this old world needs
That's all this old world needs
Innocence of children ev'rywhere
The peacefulness of an evening prayer
That's all this world needs

LITTLE THINGS
(Willie Nelson - Shirley Nelson) « © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »I hope I won't disturb you with this call
I'm just in town for such a little while
And I thought perhaps you'd like to hear the news
Jeannie's grades were the highest in the school
Billy sure does look a lot like you
I understand your other son does too
And Billy said tell dad I miss him so
These were some little things I thought you'd like to know
Remember Sam and Peg who lived next door
With them it seemed we always laughed so much
Well Sam and Peg don't live there anymore
I understand they broke up just like us
The house we lived in now has been torn down
Of all the things we owned the last to go
A freeway now runs through that part of town
These were some little things I thought you'd like to know
These were some little things that I thought you'd like to know

IF THE WHOLE WORLD STOPPED LOVIN'
(Ben Peters) « © '66 Shelby Singleton Music, BMI »If the whole world stopped lovin'
The way you stopped lovin' me
Have you ever stopped to wonder
What kind of place this would be
If the whole world stopped lovin'
The way you stopped lovin' me
If ev'ry heart was broken
The way that you broke my own
And the whole world stopped lovin'
How long would livin' go on
Hear the church bells in the steeple
As they ring their song through the air
If the whole world stopped lovin'
There'd be no steeple bells there
The tears would fill the rivers
Till the rivers flooded the sea
If the whole world stopped lovin'
The way you stopped lovin' me
If the whole world stopped lovin'
The way you stopped lovin' me

DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR ME
(Ted Harris) « © '66 Plainspoken Music, ASCAP »I've still got my memories of you
At least I know they won't find someone new
My tears are faithful company that's more than you would be
So don't feel sorry for me
I can hold a photograph of you
And kiss two lips I know won't be untrue
A picture can't tell lies to me while it's smiling tenderly
So don't feel sorry for me
I've got walls to lean on when I cry
This hurt can only last until I die
And in my dreams I'll always see the you that used to be
So don't feel sorry for me
And in my dreams I'll always see the you that used to be
So don't feel sorry for me

I LOVE CHARLEY BROWN
(Dallas Frazier) « © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »They tell me Homer Jones was out a huntin' bear
When a big ole grizzly killed his favorite hound
The morning paper says our only beauty shop burned down
But it don't worry me cause I love Charley Brown
Yes I know I love him so and I'm proud to be the girl
To hold his hand while travelin' through this world
So let the sun come up and shine or let the sun go down
It don't worry me cause I love Charley Brown
[ fiddle ] Received the letter from the folks today
And locusts ate the corncrop to the ground
And they said the new freeway will separate and ruin our town
But it don't worry me cause I love Charley Brown
Yes I know I love him so and I'm proud to be the girl...
It don't worry me cause I love Charley Brown

BURNING A HOLE IN MY MIND
(Cy Coben) « © '67 Delmore Music, ASCAP »Though it happened long ago the hurt just won't let go
And it's burning a hole in my mind
I see her and I see you and the things we used to do
And it's burning a hole in my mind
I said I'd forget and I tried
But my heart tells my tongue that it lied
Though I tried to forgive ev'ry moment I live
It's a torture the devil designed
In my mind's eye I see how you made a fool of me
And it's burning a hole in my mind
(Though it happened long ago the hurt just won't let go
It's a torture the devil designed)
In my mind's eye I see how you made a fool of me
And it's burning a hole in my mind
It's burning a hole in my mind

BABY'S BACK AGAIN
(Betty Jean Robinson) « © '67 Marchar Music, BMI »A this must be my lucky day baby's back again
Said he'd never go away baby's back again
Throw my troubles to the wind happiness come right on in
Cause baby's back again
Eyes there'll never be another teardrop
Lips he's waiting just a kiss away
The future looks so bright ev'rything's alright
Since my baby's home again to stay
A this must be my lucky day baby's back again...
I never saw the moon shine more brightly
All the stars came out tonight for me
He said he still loves me that's all I need to know
Cause that's the way real love has to be
A this must be my lucky day baby's back again...
Cause baby's back again oh yes my baby's back again
Oh yes my baby's back again

LET ME HELP YOU WORK IT OUT
(Jerry Foster) « © '67 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »There is something in your heart weighing heavy on your mind
You need gentle arms to hold you like these gentle arms of mine
You need love and understanding and a shoulder you can cry on
You need someone to rely on you don't have to be alone
Let me help you work it out help you face the situation
May I offer consolation let me help you work it out
[ piano ] Let me help you work it out I'm the one who'll always care
When you need me I'll be there let me help you work it out
Let me help you work it out help you face the situation...

BETWEEN EACH TEAR
(Dallas Frazier) « © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »I've heard them say a heartache's just a memory
As soon as you forget it disappears
I've tried but I can't hide my heart from misery
For I remember between each tear
Between each tear I see a glimpse of yesterday
When love was happy like a little child at play
I cry out loud for him but he's no longer here
To comfort me between each tear
[ fiddle ] Between each tear I see a glimpse of yesterday...

THERE ARE SOME THINGS
(Red Hayes - Betty Anderson) « © '65 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »You can't see a mem'ry of love that's untrue
Hear a tear fall or a heart break in two
You can't draw on paper the picture of pain
There are some things you just can't explain
You can't see where love disappears when it dies
A heart sheds no tears still you know that it cries
You can't see how empty a soul is inside
There are some things words just won't describe
[ fiddle ] You can't see the future though you've known the past
Or know how long a love hurt will last
Blue mem'ries burn though you don't see the flame
There are some things you just can't explain
You can't see where love disappears when it dies...
There are some things you just can't explain
