DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY
(Russell Smith - James H. Brown)
« © '76 Fourth Floor Music, ASCAP »
Standin' beside the ocean lookin' across the water
Everything is beautiful here but I still don't feel like I oughta
Things we wanted not so long ago
I got 'em all now but I ain't got you no more
But I remember the way you held me
And all the sweet things you used to say
When we were two young lovers dancing the night away
Well I remember everything the way you wore your hair
Things everybody told me you seem to float right through the air
I looked so funny dancin' but you loved me anyhow
I wish I could find somebody would love me like that now
But I remember the way you held me...
[ guitar ]
Standin' beside of the ocean throwin' rocks out in the bay
I should look for companionship but it just gets in my way
Lights are flickering all along the shore
Hey people dancin' there but I just don't dance no more
Cause I remember the way you held me...
Let me see you dance let me see you dance
Oh baby let me see you dance
Let me see you dance let me see you dance
Oh baby let me see you dance

LOVE ME LIKE YOU NEVER WILL AGAIN
(Billy Ray Reynolds)

Darlin' kiss me like you never have before
Hold me like you'll never hold me anymore
Show me one more time the countless times I've been
Love me like you never will again
Let my love for you touch the softness of your soul
There's a fire inside me that burns me out of control
Take my hand and lead me through the dream that has no end
Love me like you never will again
Love me now as if tomorrow sun won't shine
Feel your hand and your warm body next to mine
Let my lips taste the sweetness of your skin and then
Love me like you never will again
Love me like you never will again
Make it last forever if you can
Let me fly to heaven like a sparrow on the wing
And love me like you never will again
[ piano + strings ]
Love me now as if tomorrow sun won't shine...
Love me like you never will again (love me like you never will again)
Oh make it last forever if you can
Let me fly to heaven like a sparrow on the wing
Oh love me like you never will again
Oh love me like you never will again

RIDIN' RAINBOWS
(Jan Crutchfield - Susan Pugh - Connie Ethridge)
« © '76 Dixie Jane Music, BMI »
I never thought the time would come when I would want to have someone
To take your place and love me while you're gone
I promised I would stay with you and that's just what I want to do
But a woman can't spend this much time alone
There'll always be just one more hill you have to climb I know you will
And I would never try to change your way
But just this once let's think of me and try to listen honestly
There's something on my mind I've got to say
While you're out there ridin' rainbows I get awful lonely on the ground
So I was thinkin' maybe we could have a little baby
That I could have when you're not around not around
Sometimes my heart's an empty place and I need love to fill that space
Those lonely nights a smile could get me through
Each time I'd see that silly grin a smaller image of your chin
I'd be content to hold a part of you
While you're out there ridin' rainbows...

IT'S A COWBOY LOVIN' NIGHT
(Randall Rogers)
« © '76 Southern Arts Music, BMI »
They're turning those twin Texas fiddles it will soon be hold me time
I'm in such an easy mood it's close to four-four time
All alone at a table for two just me and the candle light
Shuffle with me Houston stranger it's a cowboy lovin' night
My last good time was in Dallas we danced every song
We promised each other for ever forever didn't last that long
Faded Love is playing it could be the time is right
Shuffle with me Houston stranger it's a cowboy lovin' night
It's been so long since Dallas many lonely nights have come and gone
We made at last for a dance or two but we might last all night long
Faded Love is playing it could be the time is right
Shuffle with me Houston stranger it's a cowboy lovin' night
[ fiddle ]
Faded Love is playing...

KNEE DEEP IN LOVING YOU
(Sonny Throckmorton)
« © '74 Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
Well I'm knee deep in loving you
I done got deeper than I wanted to
It'll probably drown me before I'm through
But I done got knee deep in loving you
I thought I'd wade your waters just enough to cool me down
Wet my feet then find my way to some dryer ground
But it keep on a gettin' deeper and there's just one way to go
Too late I find I'm caught up in your undertow
Well I'm knee deep in loving you baby...
[ guitar ]
Everybody's saying you're not the stayin' kind
Ain't it like a natural fool to think you will this time
It's too late for changing this feeling down in me
I'm standing here with more than just sand upon my feet
Well I'm knee deep in loving you baby...
Well I'm knee deep in loving you baby...
Well I'm knee deep in loving you baby...
