(LOST HER LOVE) ON OUR LAST DATE

(Conway Twitty - Floyd Cramer) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
It's over our love affair too late now I find I care
Her sweet love never more I'll share
Now she's gone I'm alone I was wrong should have known
Took her home after our last date

I searched for a simple way to tell her what I had to say
Now I kissed her and I turned away
Set her free foolishly destiny misery
Tragedy on our our last date

Took my ring from my trembling finger
Brushed the tears from my baby's eyes
Walked away didn't know that I'll soon miss her so
I guess I was too young to realize

So blind I couldn't see how much she really meant to me
And that soon she would always be
On my mind in my heart I was blind from the start
Lost her love on our last date

CANDY

(Glenn Canyon) « © '72 Music Pavillion Publishing, BMI »
Candy came from LA California he was a picture of a perfect man
His hair was styled and his silken suits were tailored
He drove a red imported sports sedan

Candy was a traveling playboy his heart was made of solid stone
He would find them love 'em and then he'd leave 'em
Candy lived upon a throne

My baby fell just like he wanted Candy ruined our happy home
Baby's gotta a sweet tooth for Candy but candy won't last long

Well baby's gotta sweet tooth for Candy
She's gonna find her taste is not so sweet
She thinks she has found a real Jim Dandy
We'll wait till she finds he's not for keeps
[ steel ]
Candy is a whole lot like him
Candy's sweet but when it's gone it's gone
It'll melt away then tell me who's the sucker
Well that's when my baby will come home

My baby fell just like he wanted Candy ruined our happy home
Baby's gotta a sweet tooth for Candy oh Candy won't last long
Yeah Candy you won't last long

HOLD TO MY UNCHANGING LOVE

(Jeanne Pruett) « © '72 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
When you're tempted by another who could thrill you through and through
Think of all the love I'm giving love I'll share with only you

Hold to my unchanging love hold to my unchanging love
Don't go looking for another hold to my unchanging love

There are men who long to hold you and they'll promise you the world
Don't be fooled by all their wooling I want you to be my girl
Baby hold to my unchanging love...
Baby won't you hold to my unchanging love...

I STILL SEE HIM (THROUGH THE HURT IN YOUR EYES)

(Clyde Pitts - Carmon D. Holland - Billy Deaton) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I see him everyday in the same old haunting way
From his hiding place wearing his same disguise
And this hurting me to know he's hurting someone I love so
But I still see him through the hurt in your eyes

You never talk about him am I ever last to know
About the one you must have loved so much so long ago
You're wanting to forget him and I know how your heart tries
But I still see him through the hurt in your eyes
[ guitar - steel ] You've painted me his picture with words you couldn't speak
And I've seen his reflection in a mem'ry on your cheek
You're wanting to forget him and I know how your heart tries
But I still see him through the hurt in your eyes
Yes I still see him through the hurt in your eyes

I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW

(L.E.White) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Things work out for the best some people say
My wanting you has turned to love and just today
I realized I loved you long ago
These are some little things I just wanted you to know

I just wanted you to know I love you
The life don't have the right to let it show
I should have shown my feelings long ago
These are some little things I just wanted you to know
[ steel ] The hardest part is knowing you want me too
Your eyes tell me you understand what I go through
He's got you but you love me and you'll let it show
These are some little things I just wanted you to know

And if someday he'll set you free just tell me so
These are some little things I just wanted you to know

I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU

(Don Gibson) « © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I can't stop loving you so I made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you mhm it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours mhm that we once knew
So long ago still make me blue
And they say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
I can't stop loving you...

IMAGINATION RUNNING WILD

(Billy Deaton) « © '69 Court Of Kings, BMI »
Just like all the other times as we entered
Across the white dance floor then to the bar
I thought I saw him smile in your direction
Or was my imagination running wild

With ten minutes he had asked you for a dance love
Oh too soon you said you'd like it fine
I thought you danced too close to be strangers
Or was my imagination out of line

As the night grew old the wine had made you careless
It seemed to me that he was just your style
I said let's go home before there's some heartache
And you said your imagination's running wild

My mind was filled with cruel and painful vision
Afraid I might be wrong I tried to smile
Then you left with him and all my fears were happ'ning
And my poor imagination's running wild
Yes my poor imagination's running wild

WHITE LIGHTNING

(J.P. Richardson) « © '58 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI /
Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
(Whew whay soway) white lightning
[ guitar ] In the Arkansas mountains way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy we had us a still
We brewed white lightning till the sun went down
And we take out a jug and we pass it around
Mighty mighty pleasin' my pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning
[ guitar ] Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightning stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out (and my face turned blue)
Lightning started splashin' thunder started crashin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning
[ guitar ] Well the G men T men revenoers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were looking tryin' to book him but my pappy kept on cookin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning
[ guitar - steel ] Well a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I gotta have a drink of that powerful stuff
He took one drink and he slug it right down
And I heard him a moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty mighty pleasin' your pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning
[ guitar ] Well the G men T men...

BACK WHEN JUDY LOVED ME

(Jack Dunham) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Up in the backstreets of Birmingham
Diggin' my clothes and my food at a trash can
Sleeping in alleys at night making love to a bottle of wine
Hold it most likely to succeed but that was back when Judy loved me
Somewhere in yesterday seems a million miles away

Back in the days Judy used to beg me to take her away
But I was too young and livin' was fun
I didn't know how time would change me
Life slid by me too fast the fun didn't last
It's too late to get back to the days when Judy loved me

Ridin' a freight train goin' nowhere
Don't use mirrors anymore they show my grey hair
Gave up my place in the welfare line
Traded my soup for a bottle of wine
Hold it most likely to succeed but that was back when Judy loved me
Somewhere in yesterday seems a million miles away

Back in those days Judy used to beg me...
Back when Judy loved me back when Judy loved me

KEY'S IN THE MAILBOX

(Harlan Howard) « © '60 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Oh jealous me and careless you the odds were just too great
I couldn't take those lonely nights you made me sit and wait
I thought I'd seen the last of you when you walked out of sight
Instead I see you in my dreams each night

Oh the key's in the mailbox come on in
I'm sittin' here wishing dear I had your love again
I'd never even ask you where you've been
The key's in the mailbox come on in
[ fiddle - steel ] I said I'd rather be alone than share your company
I said don't come around at all if you want more than me
But sittin' here alone I can't deny this flame that burns
I'd gladly take you back on any terms
Oh the key's in the mailbox...

SINCE SHE'S NOT WITH THE ONE SHE LOVES

(Conway Twitty - L.E. White - Betty Jo White) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You say somehow she don't fit in with your old drinking crowd
Well bartender it's all new to her she's a lady and should be proud
She loved me so long and asked so little but I always gave her less
Now since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with

I remember the nights she cried for me and she had every right
While she stayed at home and waited I was out like she is tonight
Now I know how it hurts to be alone and to see her here like this
Now since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with

Since she's not with the one she loves she loves the one she's with
I came here to say I love her but I'm too late I guess
She went as far as she could go without love then turned the list
Since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with
[ steel ] Since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with
