BALLAD OF LOVE

(Porter Wagoner)
« © '72 Porter Music, BMI »
Listen to the music play
Listen to what each word will say
They'll take you and I to heaven above
As we live each story in each ballad of love

Play the music softly so we can hear every word
That tells of the beauty the sweetest on earth
Surely this feeling is love with each touch
As we live each story in each ballad of love
[ fiddle ] I never knew love could be like this
Filled with such beauty with each tender kiss
Tell me each story will always be us
As we listen to each ballad of love

Play the music softly...

(Porter Wagoner)

As night falls around us
Love's tender embrace replaces the sun's golden light
Then love show us beauty only love can describe
Love you're sure beautiful tonight
As you fill our hearts with tenderness and emotion inside
Lost in each other with the world closed outside
This must be like heaven it's heaven to you and I
Love you're sure beautiful tonight

Your nearness in the silence your rapid heartbeat
With your face touching mine then you whisper on my cheek
I'll love you till the stars in the heavens lose their light
Love you're sure beautiful tonight

As you fill our hearts...
Love you're sure beautiful tonight

Hair like strands of gold hanging past your shoulders
As the wind blows through it wild and free
Your body is the color of a leaf
Touched by autumn hmm my Denise Mayree

Denise Mayree how I love you each thing we do makes golden memories
You stay in my mind like the beauty of a rainbow hmm my Denise Mayree

You light my darkest night like the stars from heaven
Just the thought of you lets me see
Your smile reflecting beauty
Of the love inside you hmm my Denise Mayree

Denise Mayree how I love you...
[ guitar ] The star's shining brightly shows the beauty of your body
As you lie on a blanket next to me
We don't have the money yet to build our little dreamhouse
Someday we will Denise Mayree

Denise Mayree how I love you...

LOOK WHAT LOVE HAS DONE TO ME

(Dolly Parton - Porter Wagoner)
« © '72 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
When you held me in your arms for the first time
I found happiness like I had never known
Right then I knew that I was one of the chosen few
That sweet love and happiness had smiled upon

And I wish you'd look look look look what love has done to me
I wish you'd look look look look what love has done to me
It's drained my heart of loneliness and filled it up with tenderness
And I wish you'd look look what love has done to me
[ guitar ] Now our love is like a storybook romance
And each page of love returns old something new
Oh it gets better with each chapter happiness for ever after
As the book of love unfolds for me and you

And I wish you'd look...

HANDS OF LOVE

(Porter Wagoner)
« © '72 Porter Music, BMI »
So many never know the feeling of love
And they go through a lifetime all alone
Not knowing what a friendly hand would feel like on their shoulder
Or hands of love to welcome them at home

The hands of love can make you feel like heaven
Has blessed each thing you touch along the way
And when life seems to weaken you until you can't go on
The hands of love will make you twice as strong

Sweetheart your hands of love have always helped me
Through all the good or bad times just the same
And when you hold me now my darling I still feel like heaven
Has given me the answer to my dream

The hands of love...
The hands of love will make you twice as strong

LOVE'S MELODY

(Porter Wagoner)
« © '72 Porter Music, BMI »
Your love gave me a sweet sweet melody
That my heart keeps singing everyday
Just like ten thousand violins playing love's sweet song again
Yes your love gave me a sweet sweet melody

When you touch my hand or speak my name
The melody starts playing right then
And as love's angels sing your melody again
The one you gave to me love's melody
[ fiddle ] When you touch my hand...

LOVE'S ALL OVER

(Porter Wagoner)
« © '72 Porter Music, BMI »
Honey they can tell by lookin' at us that we're in love
Why it's written all over our faces
Love came down like the rains from heaven
Love's al over us dripping like the morning dew

We can't hide it anymore you can't hide real love
When it's all over all over me and you
And it's wonderful to know it's all over
Love sweet love it's all over me and you

Once we worried what folks would think if they only knew
Just how much love there was between me and you
Well it's no secret anymore it's all all in plain view
Cause love's all over us love's all over me and you

We can't hide it anymore...

WITH YOU

(Dolly Parton)
« © '72 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
I want to love you and always be with you
Share all life's pleasures and heartaches with you
And I want you to love me and need me and want me
And I want to share my love with you

With you with you I want to be with you
Make every plan and dream each dream with you
And I want to help you comfort and love you
I want to always be with you
[ piano ] And when I'm with you things hold more meaning
Familiar old ove songs and stories seem new
I'm complete since I found you I've built my world around you
A world that I want to share with you

With you with you...
With you with you I want to be with you

HOW CLOSE THEY MUST BE

(Porter Wagoner)
« © '72 Porter Music, BMI »
On a park bench one sunny afternoon sat a young boy and a girl about seventeen
As I stood so closely by watched them hold each other's hands
On their faces live had written we're making plans
Then he said to her you're my guiding light
Then she said to him you make my whole world seem so bright
Then I saw their books of braille and that neither one could see
And I thought how close they must be
Souch tenderness my eyes have never seen two young lovers both just in their teens
And though their world gives them no light they see more than you and me
Don't you know how close they must be
Then a car stopped just a few steps away
And a voice said Jim and Jeannie it's time to go
With their hands still clutched so tight helping each other to the car
Can you imagine just how close they are don't you know how close they must be

TOGETHER YOU AND I

(Dolly Parton)
« © '72 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
My love for you is deeper than the depth of any ocean
And as faithful as the stars that grace the night
As constant as the sun in its journey to the heavens
That's why we will always be together you and I

Together you and I can srop the rain and make the sun shine
Paint a pretty rainbow in the sky
Together you and I belong like a snowbird and a song
That's why we will always be together you and I
[ guitar ] Life with you is sweeter than the fragrance of the flowers
As happy as the laughter of a child
As peaceful as a river as lasting as forever
That's why we will always be together you and I

Together you and I...
Together you and I...
