SONG WE FELL IN LOVE TO
(Ray Baker - Tupper Suassy)
« © '75 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Milene Music, ASCAP »
I just heard the song we fell in love to
And my heart began to smile the way it smiles
Each time I hear the song we fell in love to
It's a message from the past that our love will always last
Whenever I'm feeling down that song comes hanging round
And picks me up with happy memories
As time goes by more and more I love you
And our friend that tags along that song that we fell in love to
[ strings ]
And when I hear the song we fell in love to
All the memories that we've made are suddenly replayed
Each time I hear that melody it thrills me
For it makes me think of you that song we fell in love to

JESUS HEARS HE CARES HE CAN
(Ray Lewis)
« © '75 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
When angray waves toss your ship on this stormy sea of life
And the clouds of sin and sorrow turn your brightest day to night
Just remebr Thou you drift of course you won't drift out of his hand
And if you need someone to help you Jesus hears he cares he can
Yes he hears your faintest whsiper see these tears that dim your eyes
He's concerned about each stormy cloud that crosses your blue sky
So if your problems can't be solved by the mortal mind of man
And if you need someone to help you Jesus hears he cares he can
When the straight and narrow pathway leads through valleys deep and wide
And though you searched the far horizon there's not a mountain top inside
Just remember there's a city eternal rest at journey's end
And if you need someone to help you Jesus hears he cares he can
Yes he hears your faintest whsiper...
Yes if you need someone to help you Jesus hears he cares he can

RIDIN' ON A RAINBOW
(Dallas Frazier - Larry Lee)
« © '75 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Sometimes the sunshine hides and goes to bed
Sometimes the north wind howls around our door
But we don't mind the storm clouds overhead
So let it lightnin' let it thunder let it pour
Cause we'll be ridin' on a rainbow if it rains
We'll be busy sprinklin' stardust on our dreams
We might wake up without the sunshine but our love will stay the same
We'll be ridin' on a rainbow if it rains
[ steel - guitar ]
We both had burning pridges to forget
But we don't look behind us anymore
And we're no longer prisoners to the past
So let it lightnin' let it thunder let it pour
Cause we'll be ridin' on a rainbow if it rains...
Yes we'll be ridin' on a rainbow if it rains...

ONE LITTLE REASON
(Clyde Pitts)
« © '75 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Just give me one little reason to keep loving you
What makes a girl like me hold on the way I do
I'd rather see me loving you than watch me walk away
So give me one little reason and I'll stay
There must be one little roason left for you and me
To keep our love from turn into a memory
Is there a reason that I might have overlooked today
Just give me one little reason and I'll stay
Is it over we can't be out of reasons
Cause I know how much I'll miss you when I'm gone
I just can't help but quit a thought of leaving
But I can't hold our love together all alone
I guess I'll go on loving you until I'm old gray
So give me one little reason and I'll stay
I just need one little reason and I'll stay

(TILL) I KISSED YOU
(Don Everly)
« © '59 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Never felt like this until I kissed ye
How did I exist until I kissed ye
Never had you on my mind now you're there all the time
Never knew what I missed until I kissed ye
Uh huh I kissed ye oh yeah
Things have really changed since I kissed ye
My life's not the same now that I kissed ye
Uh you got a way about you now I can't live without you
Never knew what I missed until I kissed ye
Uh huh I kissed ye oh yeah
You don't realize what you do to me
And I didn't realize what a kiss could be
Uh you got a way about you now I don't live without you
Never knew what I missed until I kissed ye
Uh huh I kissed ye oh yeah
You don't realize what you do to me...

ONCE A DAY
(Bill Anderson)
« © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pains away
Until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day
Once a day all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day every day all day long
[ steel ]
I'm so glad that I'm not like a girl I knew one time
She lost the one she loved then slowly lost her mind
She sat around and cried her life away
Lucky me I'm only crying once a day
Once a day all day long...
Once a day every day all day long

NOTHING IN THIS WORLD
(Don Gibson)
« © '75 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Nothing in this world could ever make me feel the way you do
The way I feel bout you all the time
And there's not a single day that I don't stop and say
What a lucky girl to have my own little world
And you're mine all mine
Nothing in this world could take the place of all the things you've done for me
You brought the sunshine and peace of mind when I was lonely as could be
Nothing in this world could come between our love I know it's true
You know I love just you and you're mine all mine
[ guitar + steel ]
Nothing in this world could take the place of all the things you've done for me
You brought the sunshine and peace of mind when I was lonely as could be
Oh nothing in this world could come between our love I know it's true
You know I love just you all the time all the time

WHEN I NEED JESUS HE'S THERE
(Stephanie Ellison)
« © '75 Stefie Style Stuff Publishing, BMI »
There are times when life's burdens seem heavy
There is pain and sadness to bear
There are times when all friends forsake me
But when I need Jesus he's there
There are times when life's shadows surround me
He's that one who my sorrows will share
There are times when this world cannot help me
But when I need Jesus he's there
