SHE NEEDS SOMEONE TO HOLD HER (WHEN SHE CRIES)

(Raymond A. Smith) « © '72 Hello Darlin Music, BMI »
Lord she needs someone to hold her when she cries

She packed her few belongings left a note and now she's gone
And I can't stand to think of her out there so all alone
As soon as she's gone for enough to know she's out of sight
She'll pull off the highway and she'll cry

And she needs someone to hold her when she cries
Someone who really understands the way she feels inside
When her heart breaks the tears won't stop no matter how she tries
And she needs someone to hold her when she cries

I don't blame her for leaving Lord she didn't want to go
But she thinks I don't love her or I need her anymore
I've driven her into a world as dark and cold as ice
With no one there to hold her when she cries

And she needs someone to hold her when she cries
Someone who really understands the way she feels inside
And if she ever loves again I hope that she will find
Someone who always hold her when she cries

SWEET MEMORIES

(L.E. White) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'll still have memories sweet memories of you

Sometimes I wonder now and then of all the things that might have been
Thinking of the things we used to do
I should have shown you more than then I'll never have the chance again
I'll still have memories sweet memories of you

Memories of the past dreams of things that didn't last
I'll still have memories sweet memories of you
[ steel ] I brought your mem'ry from the past from all the things that didn't last
A memory of love we thought was true
Regrets are made of things that you always planned but never do
That's what brought memories sweet memories of you

Memories of the past...

I'VE JUST DESTROYED THE WORLD

(Willie Nelson - Ray Price) « © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The sun just went behind the clouds there's darkness all around me now
And I've just destroyed the world I'm living in
I broke her so many times and now at last I've broken mine
And I've just destroyed the world I'm living in

What made me think that I could go on hurting her
I should have known there'd have to be an end
But fools in love I thought by fate they never learn till it's too late
And I've just destroyed the world I'm living in
[ steel ] What made me think that I could go on hurting her...

EVEN THE BAD TIMES ARE GOOD

(Carl Belew - Clyde Pitts) « © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(Even the bad times are good)

If there's a chance that your heart misses the words I try to say with kisses
If I don't seem to look as happy as I should
I don't want to live without you I love everything about you
Yes even the bad times are good

Your middle name should be perfection for that's what you are to me
Even in my darkest moments you made it easier to see
I wouldn't change one thing about you if I knew that I could
Yes even the bad times are good
[ guitar - steel ] Your middle name should be perfection...
Even the bad times are good

IT'S NOT LOVE (BUT IT'S NOT BAD)

(Hank Cochran - Glenn Martin) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
She was always there each time I needed you
Holding on to me like I held on to you
We still don't have what you and I once had
No it's not love but it's not bad

No it's not love not like ours was
It's not love but it keeps love from driving me mad
And I don't have to wonder who she's had
No it's not love but it's not bad
[ steel ] I turn to her when you leave me alone
Sometimes even when you're here but you're still gone
She's slowly changing what you leave so sad
No it's not love but it's not bad

No it's not love not like ours was...

DIM LONELY PLACES

(Conway Twitty - L. E. White) « © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Dim lonely places old familiar faces stand out in my memory
In her eyes the reflection of love and affection a picture of what used to be
I still remember that night in December when she walked right out of my world
And now it's all over it's ending it's over when I want to be with my girl
I go back to those dim lonely places old familiar faces stand out in my memory
In her eyes the reflection of love and affection a picture of what used to be
I still remember that night in December when she walked right out of my world
And now it's all over it's ending it's over When I want to be with my girl
I go back to those dim lonely places old familiar faces stand out in my memory
In her eyes the reflection of love and affection a picture of what used to be

I DON'T BELIEVE I'LL FALL IN LOVE TODAY

(Harlan Howard) « © '61 Central Songs, BMI »
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
Old memories of you stand in your way
I just can't make my heart find someone new
It's always much too busy loving you

So I don't believe I'll fall in love today
Cause if I did I'm sure I wouldn't stay
You'd come between us like you always do
Somehow she'd never measure up to you

Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then I'll awake and hear my poor heart say
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
[ fiddle - steel ] Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find...

EACH SEASON CHANGES YOU

(Ruth Talley - Al Gore - Mel Foree) « © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Like the weather your heart changes with each season
Springtime summer fall and winter too
Though I know I'll never understand the reason
I still wonder why each season changes you

It was springtime when I found you like a flower
And our love grew warmer with the summer sun
In the fall I could see our love was changing
It broke my heart to see what wintertime had done

Like the weather your heart changes with each season...

WHY NOT TONIGHT

(L.E. White - B.J. White) « © '73 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Let's forget unpleasant mem'ries let them lie there in the past
Say you love me again that tonight won't be our last
Yesterday's gone forever and tomorrow's out of sight
So if you've ever loved me then why not tonight

Why not tonight why not tonight
If you can't forgive me and love me again then why not tonight

We'll search back through the ashes of the bridges we've burned
All the lessons we've been taught surely ones we've learned
We've got a chance in a lifetime to find love that's right
If you're ever gonna love me Then why not tonight

Why not tonight why not tonight...

Sweetheart look at me and listen our love is like an eternal flame
And I don't believe that it'll ever die
And this may be our last chance to make things right
So if you've ever gonna love me then why not tonight

DON'T CRY DADDY

(Steve Davis) « © '72 Chrysalis Standards, BMI / ATV Songs, BMI »
[ with Kathy Twitty ]
Today I stumbled from my bed thunder crashin' around my head
My pillow's still wet from last night tears
And as I think I was given up a voice inside my coffee cup
Keeps cryin' out ringing in my ears

Don't cry daddy daddy please don't cry
Daddy you still got me Jimmy and Johnny
Together we'll find a brand new mommie
Daddy daddy please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh daddy please don't cry

Why must children be the first to feel the pain and hurt the worst
It's true somehow it don't seem right
And every time I cry I know it hurts my little children so
I wonder will it be the same tonight

Don't cry daddy daddy please don't cry...
Oh daddy please don't cry
