Love's Gonna Happen To Me is the new Wynn Stewart hit that gives this album it's name. But don't let that title mislead you. You can take it from me, Wynn Stewart already has more than one love affair going. You want a for instance? For instance, there's no mistaking Wynn is in love with country music, from the great way he sings a country song. Put him up in front of an audience, and the whole feeling becomes warmly mutual, as witness his repeated jam-packed personal appearances around the country. Then there's that thing he has going with composing, too. Only a man who was just naturally smitten with songwriting could turn out, one after another, fine songs with a warm country feeling like Daddy's Girl, Loversville, That's The Only Way to Cry, and the other nice ones Wynn wrote for this album. That just naturally feeling has a lot to do, also, with Wynn's magnetism as a singer. A friend of his and mine once said, Wynn sings just as great a song sitting across the table from you as he does in a recording studio, on a stage, or on a bandstand. What he meant was, singing comes as natural to Wynn as talking. That undoubtedly accounts for the easy excellence of Wynn's singing style, which so many people have commented on. Wynn likes to sing, and people have always liked to hear him sing, and the result is a Wynn Stewart vocal goes down as smoothly as warm, spiced cider on a cold November night. Wynn began singing and picking at an old guitar when he was a little boy on his father's farm in Missouri. Soon he was singing on KWTO, Springfield, and when he was 14 and his family moved to California, Wynn organized a country band and started to play radio shows in Los Angeles and Hollywood. He signed his first recording contract at 16, and his first countract with Capitol Records when he was 20. As I said before, a natural. Just a few months ago, Wynn naturaled his way right to the top of the hit lists with two very big-time recordings, It's Such a Pretty World Today and Cause I Have You. Now, here Wynn is back again, and this time he has a whole album full of Wynn-ers. Starting off with Love's Gonna Happen To Me. I guarantee you, love's gonna happen to you, when you hear them.

WALTZ OF THE ANGELS
(Jack Rhodes - Dick Reynolds)
« © '55 Central Songs, BMI »
The waltz of the angels I hear each time
That I hold you tightly in these arms of mine
It must be from heaven this music I hear
When your lips say I love you in waltz time my dear
There must be a power much higher than I
A writer of love songs way up in the sky
The maker of roses of love sweet and true
And the waltz of the angels he wrote just for you
[ steel ]
There must be a power...

ABOVE AND BEYOND (THE CALL OF LOVE)
(Harlan Howard)
« © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI / Jat Music, BMI »
A poor boy's chances for pretty girl's glances're sometimes very few
I've got no money if you'll be my honey here's what I'll offer to you
Well I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
Well I'll give you love that's beyond the call of love
And love's something that money can't buy
[ guitar ]
Yes we met by chance and I knew at a glance that I'd found my destiny
I want to carry you off and marry you if you will agree
Well I'll give you love that's above...
Everybody knows love's something that money can't buy

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO CRY
(Wynn Stewart - Cliff Massey)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
That's the only way to cry that's the only way to cry
Seems like a million tears ago I stood and begged you not to go
I had to run away and hide it was just too much for my pride
That's the only way to cry when you're all broke up inside
The one you love just said goodbye that's the only way to cry
[ steel ]
But that was many tears ago now we both love each other so
And I'll never let you go there's different kinds of tears we know
And that's the only way to cry happy tears fall from your eyes
When you're in love like you and I that's the only way to cry
When you're in love like you and I that's the only way to cry cry

DADDY'S GIRL
(Wynn Stewart)
« © '67 Freeway Music, BMI »
Ev'rybody knows she's daddy's girl
A little doll that keeps me in a whirl
And means more to me than all the world
Well she's daddy's girl
Look at her and anyone could tell
That little bit of heaven fell
She means more to me than all thi world
She's daddy's girl
She resembles me a lot I know
From her curly head down to her toes
But speakin' as someone who knows
So much of her mother shows
But ask her and she'll say she's daddy's girl
A little doll that keeps me in a whirl
And means more to me than all this world
She's daddy's girl
She resembles me a lot I know...

DOWN CAME THE WORLD
(Waylon Jennings - Bozo Darnell)
« © '66 Freeway Music, BMI »
Down down down came the world
I went round round round in a whirl
I built ev'ry dream around one girl
And then down down down came the world
She must have loved a little to be mine so long
How could lips that kiss so sweet lie and be so wrong
Our love was just the pattern of the perfect boy and girl
Now I've lost my ev'ry dream in this world
Whoa down down down came the world...
[ piano - steel ]
Oh down down down came the world...
Yes down down down came the world

IT'S SO COLD IN YOUR HOUSE AND LONESOME IN MINE
(Wynn Stewart - Cliff Massey)
« © '67 Freeway Music, BMI »
I know I should go home now but how can I leave
There's more loneliness there than you'd ever believe
Let's talk it over let me change your mind
It's so cold in your house and lonesome in mine
It's so cold in your house and lonesome in mine
But I'd rather have you cold than be lonely all the time
So put your arms around me just one more time
It's so cold in your house and lonesome in mine
I keep coming back to see you and I'd like to stay
But you treat me as if I'm only in your way
You don't make me feel welcome yet you're not unkind
Do you still remember when your house was mine
It's so cold in your house...
Oh it's so cold here in your house and lonesome in mine

SING THAT SAME SONG AGAIN
(Bobby George - Wynn Stewart)
« © '67 Central Songs, BMI »
Sing that same song again sing it over
Oh I wanna feel that same mood again so sing it over
I heard it first when she was mine sing it over one more time
Though she's gone it was our song so sing it over
It's all I have between her mem'ry and now
And when it plays I feel her with me somehow just like now
Don't let it end let me pretend though I know ev'ry line
Sing that same song again one more time
[ guitar ]
It's all I have between her memory...

Well can't you tell my love's a growin' and can't you feel ain't it showin'
Though you must be a knowin' I've got a big big love
And it's not the kind to be concealin' it's just the kind to be revealin'
It's not a little bitty feelin' I've got a big big love

Cause there's a great big moon above we've got a big big love
And ihis is not infatuation this is a true love sensational
It's not my imagination I've got a big big love for you

I WON'T LIVE THAT LONG
(Tommy Collins - Wynn Stewart)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I can't show all the love I feel within my heart
And I can't give you all you deserve only part
You've made my life a sweet and happy song
I'd do as much for you but I won't live that long
I'd need a hundred years to tell you how great you are
And then another hundred provin' that the words came from my heart
I'll do my best in these short years to come
To do as much for you but I won't live that long
You're the one that made me start believing in myself
I owe my peace of mind to you and no one else
If I have strength it's you that makes me strong
I'd do as much for you but I won't live that long
I'd need a hundred years to tell you...

WORLD'S YOUNGEST NAUGHTY OLD MAN
(Joe Poovey)
« © '67 Dream City Music, BMI »
Someday the sun's a comin' up and it's gonna dawn on you
And right there brother's where all of my troubles begin
Well just as sure as I'm a standin' here you're gonna draw that well known line
And put a quieteous on the world's youngest naughty old man
The world's youngest naughty old man that's what you might call me
Plus a few thousand other choice names that I won't mention here
Well someday all of my faults are bound to befall me
Like comin' home some night and findin' I no longer live here
From all the earmarks I got off on the wrong foot
And apparently I've just stepped all over you
But I'm a gonna quit the evil little stunts I've been a pullin'
Yeah I'm gonna straighten up and straighten out that's what I'm gonna do
And I'm gonna stop recitin' my Sunday School lessons backwards
And I swear up and down that my swearin's gonna come to an end
And I'm a gonna start goin' home to my good woman at night
And be a good ole boy and not the world's youngest naughty ole ma
