THANK YOU FOR CALLING

(Cindy Walker) « © '54 Blackwood Music, BMI / Oree Music, BMI »
Who can it be hello hello yes this is me darling oh darling
What a surprise it's been so long why there's tears in my eyes

When will you be here what time will it be
Oh you're not coming I see oh I see
Well I hope you'll be happy well thank you I'll try
Thank you for calling goodbye

(When will you be here what time will it be
Oh you're not coming I see oh I see)
Yes operator I'll hang up the phone
Yes yes I know my party is gone
But I'll always love her I guess till I die
Thank you for calling goodbye

CIRCUMSTANCES

(Ronnie Self) « © '63 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
That lonely night we got carried away with each other
Remains with me though they'll never be another
Warm drinks soft lights and slow dances
When two blue people were the victim of circumstances

Circumstances the wrong arms the right time
Circimstances was her charms or just a wine
Would it happen again if we had enough chances
Or would we even want each other under different circumstances

What is done is over and just a memory
The night they set a sign for you and me
Oh but the dreams this foolish heart romances
Of the night when we were the victim of circumstances

Circumstances the wrong arms...

MORNING PAPER

(Alex Zanetis) « © '63 Tree Publishimg, BMI »
Heart oh heart I know it's ended
[ piano ] I see you made the morning paper the story was on the social page
I read the notice of your wedding and I saw his picture in my place

I turned the pages of the paper trying to hide my foolish pride
I read the funnies with a heartache the funnies were so funny that I cried

Turning the pages I pretended that you'd still belong to me
Heart oh heart I know it's ended and I must face reality

I tore your picture from the paper with every right up I could find
I destroyed the morning paper cause it destroyed this heart of mine

Heart oh heart I know it's ended the morning paper told us all

HEART BE CAREFUL

(Billy Walker - Jay Bovington) « © '63 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Eyes be careful how you look at her don't be blinded by her charms
Ears don't cling to every little word she'll talk you back into her arms

Lips be careful how you long for her you know her kiss can bring the sweetest pain
Heart be careful please don't fall for her cause if you fall you break again
[ steel ] Arms be careful how you reach for her there's magic in her slightest touch
Feet be carefull how you follow her don't let her know we care too much

Mind be careful how you think of her she's much too smart don't let her out her way
Heart you fool you've gone and fell for her I guess you know you'll have to pay

IT'S LONESOME

(Hank Cochran) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've walked a million miles across this floor and a million times I opened this door
But all there ever enters is the blues hmm it's lonesome without you

I know we just broke up two days ago but it seems a million years or so
To get you back there's nothing I want do hmm it's lonesome without you

If I could count high enough I'd let you know
How many times I wished that you'd walk through that door
And love me as only you can do hmm it's lonesome without you

If I could count high enough...
Oh love me as only you can do hmm it's lonesome without you

Forever and ever my heart will be true
Forever and ever I'll love only you
Hold me kiss me whisper to me our love will go on forever

JOEY'S BACK IN TOWN

(Bobby Bare - Lance Guyness) « © '61 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
When I woke up this morning everything seemed wrong
I'd realized my greatest fear the one I loved was gone
She left in a world of emptiness
A wondering what happened to my happiness
The reason for it all was in a letter that I found
All she said and all I read was Joe's back in town

Joe's back in town that's what she said
Today she let me down wish I was dead
I was standing in for him I know but still I hang around
A hoping she might love me knowing she would leave me
Anytime that Joe's back in town
(Anytime that Joe's back in town)

Joe's back in town that's what she said...

I CALL IT HEAVEN

(Harlan Howard) « © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
[ with Ray Price ]
They call me a fool and say it won't last
That you'll break my heart like the ones in your past
They're calling you wild you'll never be true
But I call it heaven just being with you

Perhaps I should listen perhaps I'm not smart
But I take my chances and follow my heart
They call this a game you'll leave me some day
But I call it heaven don't take it away
[ steel ] Perhaps I should listen...

ONE WAY GIVE AND TAKE

(Tompall Glaser) « © '59 Unichappell Music, BMI / Elvis Presley Music, BMI »
Too long I've tried to do the things I knew I couldn't do
Too long I've tried to be what I can't be
You said if I would change a little you would change some too
But it's always been a one way give and take

It's always up to me to give because you knew I would
I had to have your love dear so I took it when I could
The more I tried to live your way the more my heart will break
You always lose at one way give and take
[ steel ] It's always up to me...

CHANGE MY MIND

(Kent Westberry) « © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
What am I supposed to do now that we are through
Am I supposed to look around and find somebody new
Change my life go away pretend you never meant a thing to me

Am I suppose to be happy say that you play fair
Am I supposed to say that's life and say I didn't care
Change my mind walked away pretend you never meant a thing to me

Well how can you just sit there and say it was a fling
That all the happy times we had just didn't mean a thing
How can you start over and forget everything
Pretend you never meant a thing to me
[ guitar ] Am I supposed to me cheerful greed my friends and smile
Tell them lies and deep inside I'm crying all the while
Change my mind go away pretend you never meant a thing to me

Well how can you just sit there...
Pretend you never meant a thing to me
Pretend you never meant a thing to me

THESE ARMS OF MINE

(Jerry Crutchfield) « © '62 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
(Still reaching for you)
I guess I'll love again that's the way life should be
But right now I don't know when I could love honestly
I'd have to hold her tight that would be hard to do
I'd be holding her but these arms of mine would still be reaching for you

My lips would tell a lie everytime they kissed hers
How could I look into her eyes when I'm thinking of yours
I know that she'll ask me if my love is true
And that would be a crime for these arms of mine
Would still be reaching for you

MAN WHO HAD EVERYTHING

(Mark Barkan - Miriam Lewis) « © '62 Embassy Music, BMI / Gil Music, BMI »
I've thought I needed things that I could buy with gold
I scorn the treasure of her love my arms could hold
A love that made me richer than a king
Yes I'm the man who had everything

I had a dream that I could live for a heart that I could claim
Yes I'm the man who had everything
I had a love worth more than diamonds the best that life could bring
Yes I'm the man who had everything

Now I drive a fancy car that's all my own
Each night I dine on wine and caviar alone
But since I lost her love through tears I see
Yes I'm the man who had everything

I had a dream that I could live for...
Yes I'm the man who had everything yes I'm the man who had everything
