WOMAN HALF MY AGE

(Virginia Kennedy) « © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You say I've lost you to a woman half my age
A lovely young acquaintance that you've made
You say your love for me you've laid aside
And she's rekindled flames you thought had died

But if your love affair with her goes wrong
And if you miss the love you left at home
Come back and we'll tear out this tarnished page
And we'll forget that woman half my age
[ steel ] The lines that time has etched upon my brow
A face grown too familiar to you now
The look that of'en took the place of words
You're replacing now with looks from her

But if your love affair with her goes wrong...
Yes we'll forget that woman half my age

CRYING TIME

(Buck Owens) « © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Oh it's cryin' time again you're gonna leave me
I can see that faraway look in your eye
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
And the tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I live to be a hundred years old

Oh it's cryin' time again you're gonna leave me...
[ steel ] Now you say that you found someone you love better
That's the way it's happened ev'ry time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door

Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me...
No it won't be long before it's crying time

YOU'RE DRIVING ME OUT OF MY MIND

(Gayle Smith) « © '66 Papa Joe Music, ASCAP »
You drove me to the church on Sunday to our home on Monday
And I've been here the rest of the time
I know she's somewhere out there by your side while I'm taken for a ride
You're drivin' me out of my mind

We've been a one car family ever since we said I do
Trouble is I never see the car for you
I need love so bad but you just can't be found
You're always somewhere with your friends up town

You drove me to the church on Sunday to our home on Monday...
[ steel - guitar ] I thought havin' you would bring me happiness
But now I'm livin' in a house of loneliness
These walls that I've been talkin' to won't hold me tight
And I'll cry myself to sleep again tonight

You drove me to the church on Sunday to our home on Monday...
Yes you're drivin' me out of my mind

I APOLOGIZE

(Johnny Wright) « © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I apologize for the mis'ry that I've put you through
You were happy when I found you I was blue
You believed me and you were right I really fell for you
I apologize for the hurt that I've caused you

I apologize but my words don't say enough
You don't believe me but darling please try
If I must lose you I'll let you go but never give you up
I apologize but I'm hurt too much to cry
[ steel ] I apologize but my words don't say enough...

MEANWHILE DOWN AT JOE'S

(Harlan Howard) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I iron and I sew as I watch the late show
But something moist keeps getting in my eyes
He called and said don't wait he'd be working late
And so another lonely night goes by

Meanwhile down at Joe's the music's playing
I can almost see him there holding her so tight
Meanwhile here at home the baby's crying
All in all it's just another night
[ steel ] I polish and I clean then read a magazine
It's time for bed he'll soon be slipping in
Tomorrow he will be sweet and kind to me
He'll love me until he works late again

Meanwhile down at Joe's the music's playing...

I'LL BE YOUR STEPPING STONE

(Bozo Darnell - Major Luper) « © '65 Central Songs, BMI »
I'll be your steppin' stone while you keep steppin' on
From girl to girl
I'll try to keep the pace just lookin' for a place
In your heart within

You told me once just how my kisses thrilled you
Since that time there's been many lips you've known
Now there you go again in love with someone new
So I'll just wait till you need your steppin' stone

I'll be your steppin' stone while you keep steppin' on...
[ steel ] I'll be your steppin' stone while you keep steppin' on...

NOBODY BUT A FOOL (WOULD LOVE YOU)

(Bill Anderson) « © '66 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Nobody but a fool would love you after the way you done me
Broke ev'ry vow you made me broke ev'ry rule
Who'd lie awake all night cry till you were out of sight
Loving you with all of her might nobody but a fool

I don't know what it was that made me trust you like I did
Stars got in my eyes or either rocks got in my head
All I knew was your two lips kissed me heavenly
Till yesterday those tender lips kissed goodbye to me

Nobody but a fool would love you after the way you done me...
[ steel ] Well people tried to tell me how you'd hurt me I suppose
But I was blind as any bat and deaf as any post
You fought me like a tiger I loved you like a lamb
And knowing I still do just shows me up for what I am

Nobody but a fool would love you...
Nobody but a fool nobody but a fool

I WANT TO GO WITH YOU

(Hank Cochran) « © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I wanna go with you to that other world we knew
The one your love takes me to I wanna go with you

I wish I were glass so you could see through
Then you'd know before you ask that I wanna go with you

I wanna go with you...
[ piano ] You take me away to a world I never knew
But what else can say I wanna go with you

I wanna go with you...

ONCE A DAY

(Bill Anderson) « © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
When you found somebody new I thought I never would
Forget you for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pain away
Until now I'm down to hurtin' once a day

Once a day all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day ev'ry day all day long
[ steel ] I'm so glad that I'm not like a girl I knew one time
She lost the one she loved then slowly lost her mind
She sat around and cried her life away
Lucky me I'm only cryin' once a day

Once a day all day long...
Once a day ev'ry day all day long

WOMAN NEVER FORGETS

(Johnny Wright - Bill Phillips) « © '66 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Tie a string around your finger leave a note upon your desk
Don't forget little things that happen to bring you happiness
It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor just remember the one you adore
So hold her and tell her you love her if you're the man that remembers her

A woman never forgets all the little things you do
A woman never forgets all the mem'ries you bring her
It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor just remember the one you adore
So hold her and tell her you love her if you're the man that remembers her
[ piano ] A woman never forgets all the little things you do...
So hold her and tell her you love her if you're the man that remembers her

TOGETHER AGAIN

(Buck Owens) « © '63 Central Songs, BMI »
Together again my tears have stopped fallin'
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters we're together again
[ steel ] Together again the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms now where you belong
The love that I knew is livin' again
And nothing else matters we're together
And nothing else matters we're together

TOO MANY RIVERS

(Harlan Howard) « © '64 Combine Music, BMI »
I wish I could come back to you dear
I know that you want me to
But too much waters run under that old bridge
There's too many rivers between me and you

There's too many rivers to cross dear
And too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights I've turned and I've tossed
There's too many rivers to cross
[ steel ] Don't think for a moment I blame only you
We both killed the fruit on the vine
When you try to put love back together
There's always a few little pieces you can't find

There's too many rivers to cross dear...
