TOO FAR GONE
(Billy Sherrill)
« © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
I can tell that somewhere there's someone you love more than me
Someone you love more than me
And it hurts to say it you have the right to be free
I know that's the way it should be
My friends would console me by saying go and find someone new
Go out and find someone new
But the longer I try the harder I cry over you
I go home and cry over you
Cause I'm too far gone too far gone
Well I guess I've loved you too much for too long
And I'm too far gone
Yes I'm too far gone

WEATHERMAN
(Norro Wilson - Carmol Taylor - George Richey)
« © '73 Al Gallico Music, BMI / Algee Music, BMI »
The weatherman just said there's gonna be stormy weather
I guess he's right I can feel it in the air
He said it'll be some time before it gets any better
The way I feel I don't even care
Forecast on this love of ours don't look any better
Cause lately we've been havin' troubled times
There ain't much chance in clearin' the chilly winds are nearin'
There's trouble brewin' in this heart of mine
I can see the clouds of doubt are hangin' low overhead
And the hurricanes of jealously are just around the bend
I can feel the rains of sadness fallin' on this heart of mine
Only we can bring fair weather back and have love one more time
[ steel ]
I believe to my soul the weatherman is goin' crazy
I just felt a ray of warm sunshine
She just walked in and kissed me and said how much she'd missed me
We're gonna have good weather one more time
I can see the clouds of doubt no longer hang overhead
And the hurricanes of jealously have all come to an end
Well the rain is gone and there's a rainbow in this heart of mine
And no more stormy weather now there's sunshine one more time
No more stormy weather now there's sunshine one more time

I LIVE JUST TO LOVE YOU
(Glenn Sutton)
« © '68 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Can't you tell by the look in these eyes of mine
Don't you feel the sweet warmth when your hand touches mine
And when you kiss my lips you can find it there too
So if there's any doubt then it's time you found out that I live just to love you
Just to know that you're near makes life seem so sweet
Things that once were just dreams are now so complete
You took my grey skies and you painted them blue
And I want you forever so don't leave me ever cause I live just to love you
Yes I live to love you and there's nobody who could ever ever take the place of you
And it's so good to know you love me too
So as long as I live I'll give all I can give cause I live just to love you

ALL THE GOOD IS GONE
(Norro Wilson - Dottie Bruce)
« © '68 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
It was only yesterday that I noticed a sudden change
Even tonight when you touched me everything seems so strange
I've been worried for a long time that something might go wrong
Oh it happened I know it happened all the good is gone
All the good is gone from the love we shared together
All the tenderness disappeared from your loving arms
And now I'll start looking for another to take your place
And when each time I hold her and feel her warm embrace
Old mem'ries of our good times when I loved you for so long
I'll remember yes I'll remember all the good is gone
Yes I'll remember honey I'll remember all the good is gone

STRONG COMEBACK
(Norro Wilson - Carmol Taylor - Bill Lancaster)
« © '73 Al Gallico Music, BMI / Algee Music, BMI »
I'm makin' a strong comeback to the woman I left behind
Don't wanna hurt her just wanna love her
Lord knows I'm gonna treat her better
And I'm makin' a strong comeback to the woman I love
I'm lookin' in the mirror and I don't like what I see
I see loneliness all over me
But then her good warm mem'ries start groovin' one more time
She's got that kind of lovin' that'll ease my mind
And I'm makin' a strong comeback to the woman I left behind...
[ guitar ]
Well I'm makin' a strong comeback to the woman I left behind...
Of all the fools I've known before I know I'm the biggest one
But now I realize just what I've done
But I think I've got another chance if I work it out just right
Maybe my baby will love me again tonight
Cause I'm makin' a strong comeback to the woman I left behind...
I'm makin' a strong comeback to the woman I love

HELLO CHARLIE
(Bobby Bond)
« © '73 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Hello Charlie how'd things go today
I need a strong one I was headed this way
I just left the factory I had a rough day you see
If you'll cash my paycheck the first round's on me
I never dreamed I'd lose that angel of mine
So now you'll be seein' me here all the time
Set 'em up Charlie buddy and when you are free
My glass will be empty and you can start here with me
[ steel ]
I work at the factory from eleven till eight
And each night she'd meet me just outside the gate
She was always on time always fixing her hair
Then one rainy Monday well she wasn't there
So set'em up Charlie and when you are free
My glass will be empty you can start here with me
My glass will be empty you can start here with me

NIGHT OF LOVING
(Norro Wilson - Carmol Taylor - Bill Lancaster)
« © '73 Al Gallico Music, BMI / Algee Music, BMI »
I'm a workin' man in the sun I labor
The work is hard but my body's able
I don't mind work for I got a good reason
And my reason is a woman's that waitin' that believes in pleasin'
It's a hard days work then a night of lovin'
That's my life and to me it's livin'
A hard days work ain't gonna hurt this man
Cause I got a woman that's a waitin' to love me every way she can
[ piano ]
The sun is hot but I can take it
Cause I need money for me and my baby
I can feel her right now layin' close to me
And in her arms I'm as happy as any poor man can be
It's a hard days work then a night of lovin'...
It's a hard days work then a night of lovin'...
It's a hard days work then a night of lovin'...

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW I FEEL
(Lonnie Weiss - Joe Stampley)
« © '73 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
Yesterday she was here with her loving smile
Yesterday she got little Bobby off to school
But today she has gone and little Bobby's a here with me
Saying daddy where can my mama be
Can you imagine how I feel here this morning
Can you imagine all the thoughts running through my head
Tell a six year old your mama's up and left us
Can you imagine how I feel
I did my best to provide for her and Bobby
They never had to want for anything
But the note said it's over and I'm leaving
And I can't believe she don't love me anymore
Can you imagine how I feel here this morning
You know a grown man he ain't suppose to cry
But I know that me and little Bobby's gonna make it
Can you imagine how I feel
Can you imagine how I feel

NOT TOO LONG AGO
(Merle Kilgore - Joe Stampley)
« © '67 Al Gallico Music, BMI »
She used to hold me close at the picture show
But that was when she really really loved me so
And then he came along like a stormy sea
Not too long ago
Now she don't love me anymore anymore
She used to walk with me beneath the tall oak trees
She had me thinkin' how happy we'd be
And then he came along like the devil in disguise
Not too long ago
Now I've got tears in my eyes in my eyes
She said she'd always be my girl
She said her love would never die
She said she'd always be my girl
Then she left with a him left my heart to cry
And now I'm so lonely heartbroken and blue
Cause I don't have no one that I can talk to
Cause he came and took her away from me
Not too long ago
Now she don't love me anymore anymore
She said she'd always be my girl...
And now I'm so lonely heartbroken and blue...
Oh oh oh oh anymore
