Practically before he could talk, Wynn Stewart sang. He made his first public appearance at the age of five when he sang in church with his Aunt Leota who accompanied him on piano. Now, of course, Wynn is about as big a star as Country music's ever seen, and the amazing thing is that he keeps getting bigger! With every television appearance and concert tour he and the Tourists make, the hard core enthusiastic Wynn Stewart fans are joined by hundreds and hundreds of new fans who make it a point to come back for more whenever Wynn's around. Wynn's a good old country boy and started his career in Missouri, the heartland of Country music. There at the age of fourteen, he had a radio show on KWTO, but it was permanently interrupted when his parents decided to move the family to California. It didn't take Wynn long to get back in action. In Los Angeles, he formed his own band and began to record professionally. His Capitol debut was Waltz of the Angels, which was quickly followed by Keeper of the Keys, Hold Back Tomorrrow, and You Took Her Off My Hands. Then came It's Such a Pretty World Today, a very big hit on the country music charts and the pop contemporary charts, which proves Wynn's talent is the true and lasting kind. Nowadays, those Stewart fans seem to wait for each new recording of Wynn's to come along like you'd think rationing was going into effect. And Yours Forever is the latest one, containing songs by some of Country music's finest writers - and that includes Wynn himself. It's a fitting lineup for Wynn's talents, which put him in the class of Country Super Star.

YOURS FOREVER
(Red Simpson)« © '69 Central Songs, BMI »
Yours forever as long as I live
My heart is yours with all the love I can give
And I'll never hurt you darlin' no never
Cause I belong to you I'm yours forever
Yours forever and so much in love
Without you I'd be like a lonely sky with no moon up above
The world may stop turning but we'll still be together
Cause I belong to you I'm yours forever
The world may stop turning...

COME ON HOME AND SING THE BLUES TO DADDY
(Ray Corbin)« © '68 ATV Songs, BMI »
I hear say your new romance has faded
Just the way ours did sometime ago
Well I've lost count of all the times I've waited
For you to tell me that you've missed me so
Come on home and sing the blues to daddy
If things don't work out the way you've planned
Come on home and sing the blues to daddy
Tell it to the one who understands
You're like a child that's found a brand new plaything
To you each one's more fun than those before
But there's a faithful one that's always waiting
To be picked up and kicked around some more
So come on home and sing the blues to daddy...
Tell it to the one who understands

CRY BABY
(Bobby George - Vern Stovall)« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Cry baby cry baby
You're cryin' over him but you're still my baby
So cry baby and I'll try baby
To baby you till all your tears are dried
A smooth talkin' money spendin' travelin' man
Promised you much more than just a one night stand
Well you found out that he was only passin' through
So cry baby I know what you're goin' through
Go ahead and cry baby...
Go ahead and cry baby...
To baby you till all your tears are dried

BACK TO THE BLUE ROOM
(Dale Noe)« © '69 Freeway Music, BMI »
Back to the blue room where I can cry alone
I moved into a little room today
It's all I need now since you went away
And it's the perfect place to cry for you
Even the walls are painted blue
And I call it the blue room not much of a home
I go back to the blue room where I can cry alone
Oh blue is just exactly how I feel
I guess that's why this room has such appeal
And in case you wanna know it's number two
And I'll always be waiting here for you
And I call it the blue room...

BUT YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU
(Mike Settle - Pierre Delanoe)« © '68 Devon Music, BMI »
When the morning sun streaks across my room
And I'm waking up from another dream of you
Yes I'm on the road once again it seems
All I leave behind is a chain of broken dreams
But you know I love you yes I love you whoa I love you
How I wish that love was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have because I've got so much to give
And it seems so wrong deep inside my heart
That the dollar signs are what's keeping us apart
But you know I love you yes I love you whoa I love you
And I wish that I could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this world had not yet crossed my mind
For the answers could be found in children's nursery rhymes
Well I'd come a running back to you
But I made my choice many years ago
Now this travelin' life is the only life I know
And I know that we can't live on dreams alone
So to pay the rent I must leave you all alone
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you

GOIN' STEADY
(Faron Young)« © '52 Central Songs, BMI »
Me and my baby we're goin' steady
We're not married but we're gettin' ready
To tie the knot I'm a gonna make her my own
Well now that I've found her I'm gonna keep her
Finders keepers and losers weepers
She's my baby and she's goin' steady with me
Oh I've been a honky tonkin' round nearly bout all of my life
Now that I found a steady girl I'm a gonna make her my wife
All you rounders just leave her alone
Don't even try to call her on the phone
She's my baby and she's goin' steady with me
Oh we'll get the ring and be on our way to see the preacher man
And when you say I do sweetheart I'll slip the ring on your lovin' hand
Ev'rything is gonna turn out fine I'll be yours and you'll be mine
You're my baby and you're goin' steady with me
You're my baby and you're goin' steady with me

YOU'RE THAT SOMEONE ELSE
(Tommy Collins - Wynn Stewart)« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
If you ever change your mind and want me back again
And to forgive for all the times you've made me cry
What will I do if I should have somebody else by then
Well tell me how to tell that someone else goodbye
How do you walk away and leave them cryin'
And just break a heart without a reason why
I'd like to know cause if you ever want me back again
Well you're that someone else I'll have to tell goodbye
How do you walk away and leave them cryin'...
You're that someone else I'll have to tell goodbye
You're that someone else I'll have to tell goodbye

GAMES PEOPLE PLAY
(Joe South)« © '68 ATV Songs, BMI »
Oh the games people now ev'ry night and ev'ry day now
Never meaning what they say now never sayin' what they mean
Oho they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine
Lotten da la da da da lotten da la a da da dee
I'm a talkin' bout you and me and the games people play
Oh we make one another cry break a heart then we say goodbye
I swear and I hope to die that the other was to blame
People walking up to ya singing glory hallelujah
And then they try to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord
Lotten da la da da da...
Oh look around me tell me what you see what's happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity to remember who I am
Some give up their sanity for their pride and their vanity
Turn their back on humanity and they don't give a da da da da
Lotten da la da da da...

IN YOUR ARMS OF LOVE
(Buck Owens - Gene Price)« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Save me from loneliness rescue me with your love
I'll be safe just as long as you keep me
Wrapped tightly in your arms of love
Keep me in happiness give me all your love
I won't cry a single tear if you'll keep me
Wrapped tightly in your arms of love
Your arms of love are all I need around me
And I don't know what I'd do if you should go
So please give me what I dream of
The kind of dream sent from above
I'll be satisfied as long as you keep me
Wrapped tightly in your arms of love
I'll be satisfied as long as you keep me
Wrapped tightly in your arms of love

I'M LIVING IN SUNSHINE
(William J. Rodgers)« © '68 Cary And Mr Wilson Music, BMI »
You bring me sunshine beautiful sunshine
I'm living in sunshine when I'm with you
Oh how I've missed you since you've been gone
Lonely nights and dark clouds the whole day long
Standin' by my window watchin' it rain
When out pop a rainbow and in you came
And you bring me sunshine...
And you bring me sunshine...
I get so lonely while you are gone
And while I'm waiting it seems so long
You take my sunshine away with you
But when you come back my skies turn blue
Cause you bring me sunshine...
You bring me sunshine...
Oh I'm living in sunshine when I'm with you
