LET THE WHOLE WORLD SING IT WITH ME
(Dale Noe)
« © '69 Freeway Music, BMI »
Fill my life with a song a happy happy song
And let the whole world sing it with me
As long as you're mine there's happiness in ev'ry line
And that's the way that our love will always be
When you smile you turn on a ray of sunshine
When you laugh it's like a pretty melody
So fill my life with a song a happy happy song
And let the whole world sing it with me
[ guitar - steel ]
Fill my life with a song a happy happy song...
Just let the whole world sing it with me

WHO ARE YOU
(Bobby George - Wynn Stewart)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Who are you who do you think you are
You made me love you who are you
You've told me lies and I believed a few
How can you hurt me like you do who are you
And why do I keep hangin' round waiting for your call
I'd be on a plane and gone if I had any sense at all
Who are you who do you think you are
You've made me love you who are you
And why do I keep hangin' round...
Who are you

WORLD-WIDE TRAVELING MAN
(Vern Stovall - Dewey Groom)
« © '69 Freeway Music, BMI »
Son you're lookin' at a world-wide travelin' man
I can speak fluently the native tongue of every land
And when I'm South of the border and I wanna place an order
The waitress knows right away
That she's speaking to a travelin' man when she hears me say
Ole Senorita boo-la-voo-lan-cho-vee-ta-vonga
Che-bong-ta-jovi-mox-nix-tallyho-cucamonga
Si-Si-gitchy-goomy-ja-ja-sackio-and-lasagna
Kaya-comesta-gringo-no-wanna-wee-wee-pa-wanna
Well now son of romance the senoritas of France and the Fraulains of ole Hong Kong
And in Old Mexico the mademoiselles all go crazy when I come along
And it's the same in Spain the geisha girls can't refrain
From this game this world traveler plays
Cause in Spanish so fine I warp their minds with the words I say
Ole Senorita, boo-la-voo-lan-cho-vee-ta-vonga
Ichy-bong-ta-jovi-mox-nix-tallyho-cucamonga
Si-Si-gitchy-goomy-ja-ja-sackio-and-lasagna
Kaya-comesta-gringo-no-wanna-wee-wee-pa-wanna
Kaya-comesta-gringo-no-wanna-wee-wee-pa-wanna

KEEPER OF THE KEY
(Harlan Howard - Wynn Stewart - Lance Guyness - Kenny Devine)
« © '61 Vidor Publications, BMI »
You have gone and yet I'm still your pris'ner
Although you're with your new love I'm not free
Cause you have locked a chain around my heart dear
And you are the keeper of the key
And love that's locked inside like mine burns constantly
Oh darlin' oh please come back to me
We'll lock our hearts together for a lifetime
And you'll always be the keeper of the key
Yes love that's locked inside like mine it burns constantly...
You'll always be the keeper of the key

YOU'RE EVERYTHING TO ME
(Tommy Collins - Raymond Rush)
« © '66 Red River Songs, BMI »
Like a picture to an artist that's painted just right
Like a good song to a singer it's pure joy and delight
Like the heavens to an eagle like flowers to a bee
They're ev'rything they live for like you're ev'rything to me
Like springtime to a robin when things begin to grow
Like a pony to a cowboy at the big time rodeo
Like the outside to a pris'ner when at last he's been set free
They're ev'rything they live for like you're ev'rything to me
You're my springtime and my good time you're what I look forward to
Without you there's no meaning to anything I do
I loved you when I met you but oh what you've come to be
You're ev'rything I live for like you're ev'rything to me
Yes you're ev'rything to me

ALL OF A SUDDEN
(Gene Price)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
For a while I was happy for a while I had you
The thought never once crossed my mind
That you'd walked away with the only world I knew
And leave just a mem'ry behind
But all of a sudden it's a lonely world all of a sudden I'm alone
All of a sudden I miss you girl cause all of a sudden you're gone
[ steel ]
I don't know what happened to drive you away
And leave all these heartaches behind
I just hope you're happy and I pray that your world
Is never as empty as mine
Cause all of a sudden it's a lonely world...
Cause all of a sudden you're gone

STRINGS
(Wynn Stewart - Bobby Bishop)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Words don't get through to you my calls you just ignore
I'm sorry is nothin' new to you you've heard those words before
The closest to a human voice is violins they say
So I'm hoping you'll come back to me when you hear them play
These strings must relate to you the sadness that I feel
These strings must create for you a love that is so real
So listen while they sing to you the bluest melody
These strings wanna talk to you for me
[ violin ]
Oh listen while they sing to you the bluest melody
These strings wanna talk to you for me

I WAS JUST WALKING OUT THE DOOR
(Cindy Walker)
« © '60 Golden West Melodies, BMI »
I was just walking out the door I'm sorry you didn't come before
I've waited so long so long so long and there's no time to wait anymore
You will never know but not too long ago what this day to me might have been
And I love you as much as before but I'm so tired of just walking the floor
I must be on my way that's all I can say and I was just walking out the door
I was just walking out walking out the door

LET'S INVEST IN A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE
(Russell Steagall)
« © '69 Tuneville Music, BMI »
Let's invest in a little bit of happiness
Let's eliminate a whole lot of loneliness
We'll experience a world full of tenderness
Let's invest in a little bit of love
We can build us a castle in the air if you please
Ride a raft across the stormy seas
Nothing is impossible if you and me
Invest in a little bit of love
Let's invest in a little bit of happiness...
[ steel - guitar ]
Let's put bad mem'ries in the back of our mind
We can rest assured that they'll pass in time
There'll never be a mountain that we can't climb
Let's invest in a little bit of love
Let's invest in a little bit of happiness...
Oh let's invest in a little bit of happiness...
Let's invest in a little bit of happiness...

WISHFUL THINKING
(Wynn Stewart)
« © '59 Jat Music, BMI »
I know it's wishful thinking
But please make my wishful thinkin' come true
Wishin' I could see you again dear
That the fire of love would burn once more
But I guess that's wishful thinkin'
And too much to be wishing for
Just thinking how you once kissed me
Wishin' that it hadn't meant goodbye
But I guess that's wishful thinkin'
Now I know why some people cry
I just live my life in dreams and long for your love
It's you I'm wishin' for it's you I'm thinkin' of
My heart echoes the love words you've spoken
How I wish I could hear them from you
Won't you answer this heart that's broken
And make my wishful thinkin' come true
It's only wishful thinkin'
But please make my wishful thinkin' come true

RUN AWAY
(Bobby George)
« © '69 Central Songs, BMI »
One of these days I'm a gonna run away
From the duty chains I've worn so long
One of these days well I'm a gonna run away
Why linger on when love has gone away
I'm a gonna travel far and fast and light
I gotta get away fore I lose my mind
I'm gonna pack my broken heart and leave her far behind
One of these days I'm a gonna run away
I've got a date with a freight and I'll make my getaway
[ steel ]
One of these days I'm a gonna run away
She's a gonna wake up and find ol' dog gone
Yeah one of these days well I'm a gonna run away
I'm gonna break my leash and make my getaway
I'm a gonna travel far and fast and light...
Oh one of these days I'm a gonna run away
One of these days
