DON'T BREAK THE HEART THAT LOVES YOU

(Benny Davis - Murray Mencher) « © '62 Benny Davis Music, ASCAP / Full Keel Music, ASCAP »
Don't break the heart that loves you handle it with care
Don't break the heart that needs you darling please be fair
Why do you flirt and constantly hurt me
Why do you treat our love so caressly

You know I'm jealous of you and yet you seem to try
To go out of your way to be unkind
Sweetheart I'm beggind of you don't break the heart that loves you
Don't break this heart of mine
[ sax ] Sweetheart I'm beggind of you don't break the heart that loves you
Don't break this heart of mine

IT ONLY HURTS FOR A LITTLE WHILE

(Mack David - Fred Spielman) « © '56 September Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me that's what they say
Oh it only hurts for a little while
Then all your heartaches will pass away

It's so easy to be smart with somebody else's heart
But I don't know how to start forgetting you what can I do

It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me just wait and see
But I will hurt till you come back to me
[ sax ] It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me that's what they say
It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me just wait and see
But I will hurt till you come back to me

LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT

(Edith Linderman - Carl Stutz) « © '54 Feist Catalog, ASCAP »
Blow me a kiss from across the land say I look nice when I'm not
Touch my hair as you pass my chair little things mean a lot
Give me your arm as we cross the street call me at six on the dot
A line a day when you're far away little things mean a lot

Don't have to give me diamonds and pearls champagne sables or such
I never cared much for diamonds and pearls
Cause honestly honey they just cost money

Give me your hand when I've lost the way give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile to show me you haven't forgot
For always and ever now and forever little things mean a lot

Give me your hand when I've lost the way...

JUST OUT OF REACH

(Virgil F. Stewart) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Just out of reach of my two open arms

Love that runs away from me dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on bothering me chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two open arms

Each night in dreams I see your face mem'ries time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you gone then I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two open arms
[ sax ] I pray the Lord to keep you from all harm
Just out of reach of my two open arms
Just out of reach of my two open arms

MAKE LOVE THE WAY WE USED TO

(Margo Smith) « © '78 16th Avenue Music, BMI / Xenia Music, BMI »
Wash my head with a new shine through
And make it soaky and so soft for you
I wanna make love tonight the way we used to
That sweet aroma that's drifting through the room
It happens to be your favorite perfume
Come on let's love tonight the way we used to

This bottle of wine lays tricks on my mind
And makes my emotions run wild
Come to my arms baby you know it's warm
And promise you'll stay a while

Put down the paper and don't you mind the phone
Cause tonight we gotta be all alone
We're gonna make love tonight the way we used to

This bottle of wine lays tricks on my mind...
Put down the paper...
We gotta make love tonight the way we used to

YOUR SWEET LIES

(Judy Vest - David Chamberlain) « © '77 Column One, ASCAP »
You know you can have me anytime that you want me
For you have that magic key that somehow always lets you come in
And everytime you leave I swear to myself this time honey it's really all over
But you know your sweet lies just turned down my sheets again

As you love me and then tell me I'm pretty
Those words I need to hear them now and then
I believe you one more time because I I love you
And your sweet lies just turned down my sheets again
[ strings ] As you take me and then tell me you love me
Those words I need to hear them now and then
I'll believe you one more time because I love you
And your sweet lies just turned down my sheets again

DON'T SQUEEZE MY CHARLIE

(Curtis Allen) « © '78 Songs Of PolyGram »
Ladies please don't sqeeze my Charlie

My Charlie has a way of making all the ladies turn their heads
Just one wink from Charlie's eye can make a woman's blood run red
That's just my Charlie's way and I'm not one to tell him how to be
That's why he's always flirtin' with you and why he's comin' home with me

So ladies please don't sqeeze my Charlie
Oh I know that he's good looking but I'll tell you now he's not a cheatin' kind
Ladies please don't sqeeze my Charlie
Cause no matter how you crave him his ring upon my finger says he's mine

There's something you should know before you let your fantasies run free
Charlie may be special to you but he's everything to me
He knows I understand him my Charlie knows he'll never need to roam
Cause everything you long to give him he gets better right at home

So ladies please don't sqeeze my Charlie...

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS

(Terry Gilkyson - Frankie Miller - Rich Dehr) « © '42 Blackwood Music, BMI »
Take one fresh and tender kiss add one stolen night of bliss
One girl one boy some grief and some joy
Memories are made of this

Don't forget a small moonbeam fold in lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine two sips of wine
Memories are made of this

Then add the wedding bells one house where lovers dwell
And three little kids for the flavor
Stir carefully through the days see how the flavor stays
These are the dreams you will savour

With his blessings from above serve it generously with love
One man one wife one love true life
Memories are made of this
[ sax ] With his blessings from above...
Memories are made of this memories are made of this

BREAKING IN A BRAND NEW BROKEN HEART

(Howard Greenfield - Jack Keller) « © '60 Colgems Music, ASCAP »
If my friends should ask for me
Here at home is where I'll be
There's no one I care to see
I'm breaking in a brand new broken heart

Now the heartaches have begun
There's a job that must be done
I have no time for havin' fun
I'm breaking in a brand new broken heart

Oh leave me alone and let me cry cry cry
There are tears that must be cried till there's no more tears inside

Let me take the count of ten
Then I'll bounce right back again
Let me be alone till then
I'm breaking in a brand new broken heart
I'm breaking in a brand new broken heart
