SAN ANTONIO ROSE
(Bob Wills)
« © '40 Bourne Co, ASCAP »
Deep within my heart lies a melody a song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I lived with a memory beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
And a moonlit pass that only she would know still hears my broken song of love
Moon and all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love my own
Broken song empty words I know still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass beside the Alamo and Rose my Rose of San Antone
[ fiddle ]
Moon and all your splendor...

TIME CHANGES EVERYTHING
(Tommy Duncan)
« © '54 Red River Songs, BMI »
There was a time when I thought of no other and we sang our own love refrain
Our hearts beat as one while we had our fun but time changes everything
Time has passed I forgot you mother nature does wonderful things
I guess that it's true for me and for you that time changes everything
[ steel ]
You can change the name of an old song rearrange it and make it swing
I thought nothing could stop me from loving you but time has changed everything
Goodbye goodluck to you may God bless you I won't say I'll ever love again
You'll go your way and I'll go mine cause time changes everything

LOVIN' IS LIVIN'
(Boudleaux Bryant)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Well I like kiss every mornin' a kiss every night a whole mess of hugs in between
Cause lovin' is livin' and you ain't really livin' till you learn what lovin' can mean
And honey baby if you doubt me just give me the chance I'll try to show you it's true
That lovin' is livin' and sure's I'm livin' and fallin' in love with you
A lotta folks go to movies when the work is done to see what they can see
But when I go to movies I can have more fun stealin' kisses in the balcony
I'm askin' you baby won't please don't you try to see it the way that I do
And I'm hopin' and prayin' that soon you'll be sayin' that lovin' is livin' too
[ guitar - steel ]
I'd like to tease you and tickle you the whole day through and now's the time to start
I'd give a gold faded nickel for kiss from you so come on baby open up your heart
I'm askin' you baby won't please don't you try to see it the way that I do
And I'm hopin' and prayin' that soon you'll be sayin' that lovin' is livin' too

OH NO
(Boudleaux Bryant)
« © '53 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Oh no don't start me fallin' in love again
I'm tryin' to recover from the lovin' that I had the last time
Oh no don't start me wishin' on start again
I'm too serious to huddle and cuddle just for pass time
You're sweet you're thrillin' but I think I'd rather don't touch
If I hold you like I'm wantin' to I might love you a little too much
Oh no I just can't hurt again can't you see
I'm afraid I wanna keep you if I kiss you tenderly
And I know you're not in love with me
[ guitar ]
Oh no I've seen you playin' that love before
You love 'em and deceive 'em and you leave 'em and you think you're clever
Oh no don't tempt my lonely heart anymore
I never could resist you if I kissed you I'd be lost forever
You're mean to tease me you're set all cookin' my goose
I know if I ever hold you near or have I hard time turnin' you lose
Oh no I just can't hurt again can't you see
I'm afraid I wanna keep you if I kiss you tenderly
And I know you're not in love with me
[ guitar - steel ]
You're sweet you're thrillin'...

IF I COULD HOLD BACK THE DAWN
(Carl Butler)
« © '53 Peer International, BMI »
When you called me and said you had to see me
I thought you meant to start our life anew
But you told me you would wed tomorrow and you just wanted one last randezvous
Tonight is our last night together at dawn till tomorrow you'll be gone
But darling this night would last forever if I could hold back the dawn
[ steel ]
When you walk down the aisle with him tomorrow
To take his name and whisper dear I do
Will you be thinkin' of the future darling or thinkin' of my last night with you
I wish you'd never mention your tomorrow darling when you call me on the phone
But there wouldn't be a new tomorrow if I could hold back the dawn

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK
(Roland Johnson - Earl Nunn)
« © '56 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Every time I go away my baby feels so blue
She misses me so much she don't know what to do
I know that she loves me she tells me all alone
No one can take my place she never do me wrong
My pal is a wonderful fellow and just as a favorite to me
He keeps her company she'll never lonely be
There never was a friend or a buddy such as he
[ steel - guitar ]
My pal is a wonderful fellow I'd like to see he's happy just like me
I hope that someday he'll settle down for life
I hope that my pal finds a wonderful wife

LIVE AND LET LIVE
(Wiley Walker - Gene Sullivan)
« © '59 Peer International, BMI »
They tell me that you're going away what makes you want to leave
You gave me your love you gave me your vows now you're leaving me here to grieve
Live and let live don't break my heart don't leave me here to cry
I never could live if we should part so tell me you don't mean goodbye
[ guitar ]
I stayed awake last night and walked the floor what makes you grieve me so
Live and let live don't break my heart I don't want to live if you go
Live and let live...

PLEASE COME BACK HOME
(Autry Inman)
« © '51 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm lonesome deep inside from a love I cannot hide
I wish you'd lose your pride and come back home
I'd find the lovingness inside your sweet caress
My heart would ache much less please come back home
I never smile just frown when you are not around
The world is upside down please come back home
If I could see you smile as we walk down the aisle
My world would be a style please come back home
[ guitar ]
You're all the world to me and you will always be
My heart cannot be free while you are gone
These words I say to you are from my heart and true
Here's what I hope you'll do please come back home
If I could just dignite the flame of love so bright
My heart would be as light as ocean foam
I try my best to show you're all I love you know
I'll hold you tight and so please come back home

LOOK WHAT THOUGHTS DONE TO ME
(Buddy Bain)
« © '53 Peer International, BMI »
I thought I knew everything I thought you'd wear my weddin' ring
But now I see our love can't be look what thoughts done to me
I thought I could run around and still be the one to wear the crown
But I'm alone with memories look what thoughts done to me
Don't let it happen to you now that you know what thoughts will do
I thought I'd hear church bells chime thought someday that you'd be mine
But now I see our love can't be look what thoughts done to me
[ steel ]
Don't let it happen to you now that you know what thoughts will do
I learned too late what thoughts can do I thought I'd won but I lost you
And now I live in misery look what thoughts done to me

HOUSE THAT LOVE BUILT
(Vic McAlpin - Nellie Smith)
« © '53 Melody Trails Music, BMI »
This is the boy that live in a house that love built
These are the arms that held the charms of the sweetest girl in town
These are the hands that made the plans for a house that love built
And this is the heart that got broke when the house got tumblin' down
The roof was made of moonlight with kisses warm and sweet
And all the beams were made of dreams that I laid at your feet
So walls are made of sunshine the sunshine of your smile
And all the bliss of that first kiss was mine for just a while
[ steel ]
This is the boy who destroyed the house that love built
My empty arms have lost the charms of the sweetest girl in town
These are the hands that made the plans for a house that love built
And this is the heart that got broke when the house got tumblin' down
The roof was made of moonlight with kisses warm and sweet
And all the beams were made of dreams that I laid at your feet
If you'll start all over and say that you're still mine
I'll build from love that's strong enough to stand the test of time

COME BACK TO ME
(Sonny James - John Skye)
« © '55 Mike Curb Music, BMI »
Come back to me when roamin' days are over
Go have your fling go dance and sing and get it over
Come back to me when laughter turn to sorrow
Though you must roam love's best at home think of tomorrow
Come back to me when life has lost its lure I'll be near sincerely yours
I understand I know that you must leave me
Go on and roam then come back home come back to me
[ steel ]
Come back to me...
