JUST AS SOON AS I GET OVER LOVING YOU

(Ben Peters - George Richey)
« © '71 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
I'll go out at night to ole familiar places
Have a drink and maybe see a friend or two
And your image won't be there in all their faces
I won't fall apart if they should mention you

I won't spend my time forgetting or forgiving
Or lie awake and long for you the whole night through
I may even find a reason to be living
Just as soon as I get over loving you

I'll be in another's arms when I awaken
They'll hold me just the way you used to do
And I won't think about the one whose place he's taken
Just as soon as I get over loving you
Just as soon as I get over loving you

JUST ONE TIME

(Don Gibson)
« © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If I could see you just one time
Oh how I'd ease my troubled mind
If I could see you just one time
And then pretend that you're still mine

Lips that used to thrill me so
They now thrill someone else I know
Gone is the love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time

Oh oh oh how I miss you so oh oh I need you so
I I I'd give this heart of mine
Wish I could see you just one time
[ guitar - steel ] Wish I could relive just one time
Turn back the pages and there I'd find
That same ol' love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time

Oh oh oh how I miss you so...
Oh oh oh how I miss you so...

CLOSEST THING TO PERFECT

(Jerry Chesnut - Walter Woodward)
« © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
He's better than any other man I've ever seen before
When I think he's done his best for me he does a little more
He's weak but yet he's strong enough that he never let me down
And he's the closest thing to perfect that I've found

I guess to me no other man compares with him at all
And I'll be close to help him up if ever he should fall
The tender love he's brought to me has taught me how to dream
He's the closest thing to perfect that I've seen

He's been up and he's been down like any man can be
But it's good to be his woman and to know at times he's needed me
Cause he loves and I won't worry as long as he's around
He's the closest thing to perfect that I've found
He's the closest thing to perfect that I've found

LOOK OF LOVIN' (IN HIS EYES)

(Jan Crutchfield - Larry Butler)
« © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Sometimes he finds me standin' in front of my mirror
And he laughs as I turn from side to side
First I feel so silly but then he reaches for me
And I see that look of lovin' in his eyes

Today I found the grey hair why did it have to grow there
Made me want to sit right down and cry
When I showed it to him he pulled me closer to him
And I saw that look of lovin' in his eyes

I need him every day or each night
And he will come home and hold me tight
I know everything is all right
When I see that look of lovin' in his eyes

I need him every day or each night...
When I see that look of lovin' in his eyes

MY NAME IS WOMAN

(Dan Hoffman - David Kershenbaum)
« © '71 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
It started at the apple tree
I took a bite you followed me
Um hum my name is woman
My name is Eve
And I'm a woman

It's written in the history books
You lost your strength from the hair I took
Um hum my name is woman
My name's Delilah
And I'm a woman

Complicated perfumated many times exaggerated
Sometimes loved and sometimes hated woman
I am a woman
My name is woman

A better world I tried to make
Then they burned me at the stake
Um hum my name is woman
I am Joan
And I'm a woman

Whereforth art thou love of mine
The greatest lovers of all time
Um hum my name is woman
I am Juliette
And I'm a woman

Complicated perfumated many times exaggerated
Sometimes loved and sometimes hated woman
I am a woman
My name is woman

Late at night when all is quiet
You reach out to hold me tight
Um hum I am a woman
My name is Jean
And I'm your woman

WITH HIS HAND IN MINE

(Larry Butler - Ruth Butler - Lorene Allen)
« © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
There are times for no reason I feel so alone
Even though he's beside me where he's been all night long
In the dark I reach for him though he's sound asleep
Take hold of his hand and find the comfort I need

There are times I'm uneasy with no cause at all
With no word just the right touch before one tear falls
He's got me smilin' and I marvel at this kind of man
Who can quiet his woman by just holding her hand

With his hand in mine I feel warm and wanted
There's no doubt in my mind and ev'rything's all right
I could ask for nothin' more than him there beside me
So I'll join him in sweet sweet sleep with his hand in mine

WORLD NEEDS A MELODY

(Red Lane - Larry Henley - Johnny Slate)
« © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The world needs a tune that it can hum hm hm hm
The world needs a guitar that it can strum
The world seeds a melody it can sing sing sing sing sing
Let's all sing together
In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore
Together

The world needs a bell that it can chime
The world needs a drum to keep the time
The world needs a melody it can sing sing sing sing sing
Let's all sing together
Gonna lay down my burden down by the riverside
Together

The world needs a reason to clap its hands
The world needs a leader for its band
The world seeds a melody it can sing sing sing sing sing
Let's all sing together
Give us that ol' time religion give us that old time religion
Uh uh uh together
In the sweet (give us that old time religion)
In the sweet (give us that old time religion)
In the sweet (give us that old time religion)
Uh uh uh together

I'M ALONE

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '71 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Staring through my window pane I watch the raindrops kiss the street below
My thoughts are like an endless road that never seems to lead to anyplace
I'm caught up in a tangled web of yesterdays that never let me go
And my fingers trace the lines of hurt that loneliness has etched upon my face

And I'm alone I don't have you anymore
I'm finding out what the lonely is
And how it hurts to love someone that's gone
For I'm alone

A drop of rain clings to the glass the way I used to hold you when we met
Then runs away with all our dreams and takes the happiness we try to find
And I remember all too well ev'rything I'm tryin' to forget
For an endless stream of memories race through the broken pieces of my mind

And I'm alone I don't have you anymore...
Yes I'm alone I'm so alone I'm so alone

JUST PLAIN LONELY

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '69 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I go to all our favorite places
And I always play our favorite song
I can't keep my sadness from showin'
And old friends keep asking what's wrong

Just plain lonely without your arms around me
Just plain lonely I'm missing you

I live each day by pretending
That your love for me is so strong
Then suddenly my dream has an ending
I wake up and realize you're gone

Just plain lonely without your arms around me
Just plain lonely I'm missing you

SONG OF THE WIND

(Bob Milsap)
« © '71 Kelso Herston Music, BMI »
I see the shadows as they come to welcome the night
Dreading the time when I know I must turn out the light
Here in the darkness I lie down to hurt once again
From loving a mem'ry who's heart sings a song of the wind

So much like a child yet so very much of a man
He was a drifter and I wasn't part of his plan
He needed me when I met him so I took him in
Not knowing someday he'd follow the song of the wind

The wind sings a movin' song of fields that are always green
And the man who has heard its call can't leave a thing unseen

If I should see him and he needs the warmth of a friend
I'll try to help him for the short time he will spend
I won't be surprised when I wake and he's gone once again
For he is a dreamer who follows the song of the wind
Yes he is a dreamer who follows the song of the wind
