I LOVE YOU BECAUSE

(Leon Payne) «© '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(I love you most of all because you're you)

I love you because you understand dear
Every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand dear
I love you most of all because you're you

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you cause you're you
[ guitar ] I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness you've opened wide

(No matter what may be the style or season
I know your heart will always be true)
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you cause you're you

I CARE NO MORE

(Jesse Ashlock) «© '57 Unichappell Music, BMI »
My love has gone my pride has gone I care no more
My heart is tired from loving you I care no more
I don't regret the day we met when love was there
Now love has gone life lingers on I just don't care

Love is a thing that is crazy for all no matter who
I had my love but I lost it all when I lost you
It never should have happened and it won't no more
My love has gone my pride has gone I just don't care
[ vibes ] (Love is a thing that is crazy for all no matter who)
I had my love but I lost it all when I lost you
It never should have happened and it won't no more
My love has gone my pride has gone I care no more (care no more)

(I'D BE A) LEGEND IN MY TIME

(Don Gibson) «© '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If heartaches brought fame in love's crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time
If they gave gold statues for tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time

But they don't give awards and there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim then everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
[ vibes - guitar ] (But they don't give awards and there's no praise or fame)
For a heart that's been broken over love that's in vain
(If loneliness meant world acclaim then everyone would know my name)
I'd be a legend in my time

THAT HEART BELONGS TO ME

(Webb Pierce) «© '52 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
There are so many flirty guys with flirty flirty ways
And I am so afraid that they will steal you some day
But don't let 'em darling cause you belong to me
No don't ever let them make you think your heart is fancy free
Don't let 'em darling that heart belongs to me
[ piano ] The'll tell you that I trifle and that you should do the same
They'll tell you that they need your love so why not make the change
Don't do it darling that love belongs to me
Oh please don't let them blind you I still love you can't you see
Don't let 'em darling that heart belongs to me
[ guitar ] They'll offer you a mansion ask if you will be their queen
So they can give you riches make your life a happy dream
But don't let 'em darling that dream belongs to me
Oh sure they'll try to buy your love with riches such as these
Don't let 'em darling that heart belongs to me

FRAULEIN

(Lawton Williams) «© '56 Unart Catalog, BMI »
Far across the deep blue water lives an old German's daughter
By the banks of the old River Rhine
Where I loved her and lost her but I can't forget her
Cause I miss my pretty Fraulein

(Fraulein Fraulein look up toward the heavens)
Each night when the stars start to shine
(By the same stars above you I swear that I love you)
Cause you are my pretty Fraulein
[ piano ] When my memories wander away over yonder
To the sweetheart that I left behind
In a moment of glory a face comes before me
The face of my pretty Fraulein

Fraulein Fraulein walk down by the river
(Pretend that your hands are holding mine)
By the same stars above you I swear that I love you
Cause you are my pretty Fraulein

BURY ME DEEP

(Ted Daffan) «© '50 Peer International, BMI »
Dig down deep where the ground is cold
(Dark and cold and all alone)

Tired of life all alone and blue
Happiness I never knew
In this cold world there's nothing for me
Now won't you hear my only plea

And bury me deep where the sun doesn't shine
Because sunshine I've never known
Dig down deep where the ground is cold
Dark and cold and all alone
[ vibes ] You were my love only love I knew
And tonight I find I can't have you
Trouble and tears are all that I see
Now you are gone please hear my plea

(Bury me deep where the sun doesn't shine
Because sunshine I've never known)
Dig down deep where the ground is cold
Dark and cold and all alone

SEND ME THE PILLOW THAT YOU DREAM ON

(Hank Locklin) «© '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that I still care for you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

At night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I share your love in dreams that once were true
(Send me the pillow that you dream on)
So darling I can dream on it too
[ steel ] Send me the pillow that you dream on
Maybe time will let our dreams come true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

I've waited so long for you to write me
But just memories are all I have of you
(Send me the pillow that you dream on)
So darling I can dream on it too

PETAL FROM A FADED ROSE

(Merle Travis - Leon Rusk) «© '53 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Here's a rose from my garden
Where the bloom of romance grows
But I'll keep on a part near my aching heart
Just a petal from a faded rose
Love'd be sweet in the morning
When the breeze of summer blows
But will fade and die when the wind is nigh
Like a petal from a faded rose
[ vibes ] Now our love is a memory
Where it's gone nobody knows
But I'll hold so dear as a souvenir
Just a petal from a faded rose

(I will live with the roses Where the sea of mem'ry flows)
And each time I dream then a tear will gleam
On this petal from a faded rose

RETURN TO ME

(Carmen Lombardo - Denny DiMinno) «© '61 Southern Music, ASCAP »
Return to me for my dear I'm so lonely
Hurry back hurry back oh my love I am yours hurry back
Return to me for my heart wants you only
Hurry home hurry home won't you please hurry home to my heart

My darling if I hurt you I'm sorry
Forgive me and please say you are mine
Return to me please come back al'a mia
Hurry back hurry home to my arms to my lips and my heart
[ vibes ] My darling if I hurt you...

I'LL GO ON ALONE

(Marty Robbins) «© '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
We're traveling down two different roads in world so far apart
You want me yet there's something else before me in your heart
You're wanting me to change my life the way you're living yours
But I can't change I see no way you wanted me before
If you don't want me like I am then please don't pity me
If you can't change a little bit then why not set me free
If we can't live together then it's best we live apart
You'll go your way and I'll go mine we'll both make brand new start
[ piano ] There's nothing we can do it seems we'll never get along
With you believing like you do you say I live so wrong
But I can't change my way of life I lived it much too long
You either take me like I am or I'll go on alone
So either say you want my love or take the way you live
Remember though before you get you got to learn to give
So if it change my life or go then go it's goin' be
Cause I can't change my life when you want something more than me

MANSION ON THE HILL

(Hank Williams - Fred Rose) «© '48 Milene Music, ASCAP / Intersong USA, ASCAP »
Tonight down here in the valley I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted the story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love dear in your loveless mansion on the hill
[ vibes - guitar ] (The light shines bright from your window the trees stand so silent and still)
I know you're alone with your pride dear in your loveless mansion on the hill

ADDRESS UNKNOWN

(Vaughn Horton - Gene Autry - Denver Darling) «© '58 Western Music, ASCAP »
I waited each day for your letter although I knew what it would cost
But dear when it came I knew that your game
Had been won and I knew that I had lost
But I just couldn't open your letter I know you're no longer my own
The moment it came I wrote beneath my name
These heart-breaking words address unknown
[ piano ] I wanted to open your letter to see if you missed me sometimes
But you have a way of making me pay
Cause I know what you write between the lines
You know I'd be so glad to see you in spite of the hurt you have done
But deep down inside I can't lose my pride
And forgive you just because you are the one

So I just couldn't open your letter...
