HEARTACHES BY THE NUMBER

(Harlan Howard) « © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you come back again
You came back but never meant to stay

Now I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score
Every day you love me less each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting that's the day my world will end
[ steel - fiddle ] Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were coming back to stay
With a hopeful heart I waited for your knock on my the door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Now I've got heartaches by the number...
Yes the day that I stop counting that's the day my world will end

SIX WEEKS EVERY SUMMER

(Frank Powers) « © '71 Con Brio Music, BMI »
Hopelessly the ghost of me sinks down into a chair
And underneath the cushion there's a ribbon from her hair
A crumpled up reminder that my daughter's only here
For six weeks every summer Christmas every other year

The role of part-time motherthat's the toughest role I play
But my name's up there in neon lights but Lord what a price I pay
The only thing it cost was giving up our used-to-be's
And my little angel baby by the name of Sherrie

Bravely I step back into my room but the role I play is only cheap veneer
Cause I die inside a little more every day until Christmas or summertime draws near
And then up the stairs comes every my prayer yellin' hey mom it's me I'm home
For six weeks every summer Christmas every other year

I just found a note my baby wrote she left it by the phone
She knew I'd need the extra strength to make it through the night alone
It says I'll always love you mom although I'm only here
For six weeks every summer Christmas every other year

SAFE IN THESE LOVIN' ARMS OF MINE

(Billy Sherrill - Norro Wilson - Emily Mitchell) « © '70 Algee Music, BMI »
I remember when I gave you the key to my front door
Love had taken over this heart of mine
If you could only see the smile that comes across my face
When I hear your footsteps at my door
When I hear you walkin' up to my door

When you reach for me and take my hand let me know that you're my man
And I'll hold you and kiss you and warm you and love you
Cause I know that some day you'll find
You're safe in these lovin' arms of mine

I know what men are made of cause I've been around a few
They'll use you for a while and leave you cold
Now you may cheat and run around cause you gotta have your fun
And like I told you many times before
You'll always have the key to my front door

When you reach for me and take my hand...
When you reach for me and take my hand...

SAVE YOUR KISSES FOR ME

(Tony Hiller - Lee Sherider) « © '76 Tony Hiller Music, ASCAP »
Though it hurts to go away it's impossible to stay
But there's one thing I must say before I go
I love you you know
I'll be thinking of you in mnost everything I do

Now the times is movin' on and I really should be gone
But you keep me hangin' on for one more smile
I love you I love you all the while
With your cute little wave will you promise that you'll save

Your kisses for me save all your kisses for me bye bye baby bye bye
Don't cry honey don't cry
Gonna walk out the door but I'll soon be back for more
Kisses for me save all your kisses for me
So long honey so long hang on baby hang on
Don't you dare me to stay cause you know I'll have to say

That I've got to work each day and that's why I go away
But I count the seconds till I'm home with you
I love you I love you it's true
You're so cute honey gee won't you save them up for me

Your kisses for me save all your kisses for me bye bye baby bye bye...
Your kisses for me save all your kisses for me bye bye baby bye bye...
