GYPSY KING

(Betty Mackey) « © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
His laugh was music to my ears his touch like summer sun
But when I looked into his eyes my heart told me to run
For there are so a wanderer a weaver of dreams
A restless carefree vagabond a rovin' gypsy king

He sang me through fairy lands of love while his guitar would ring
Like the song he soon was gone my rovin' gypsy king
[ guitar ] He made no promises to break left no strings to untie
And when he was ready there was no goodbye
Knowing I would lose him still I dared to dream
Love would make a prisoner of my rovin' gypsy king

He sang me through fairy lands of love while his guitar would ring...
Now he's left me all alone my rovin' gypsy king

AS LONG AS I LIVE

(Alex Zanetis) « © '61 Turkahoe Music »
As long as I live I'll be here beside you
To love and to guide you as long as I live
In these tender years through life's sweet and bitter tears
Challenging all your fears as long as I live

Whatever you hunger for just ask and then say no more
There's one thing I'll always do and I'll find it to satisfy you
Because you are mine we'll leave ev'ry shadow behind
We'll walk where the sun will shine as long as I live
[ piano ] Because you are mine we'll leave ev'ry shadow behind
We'll walk where the sun will shine as long as I live
We'll will shine as long as I live as long as I live

I WANNA LIVE

(John D. Loudermilk) « © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Flowers have blooms the ocean has waves
The sky has clouds people have babes
I wanna live till I get old
I wanna watch all of this grow

I wanna live live and let live
I want all the love this life has to give
I wanna smile and be friendly with you
I wanna live and let you live some too

Rover is big Tabby is small
Betty is short Jimmy is tall
They wanna live live and let live
They want all the love this life has to give

They wanna smile and be friendly with you
They wanna live and let you live some too
We wanna live oh don't you

EASY PART'S OVER

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice) « © '68 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
The easy part's over now it's time to cry
The easiest part of all was saying goodbye
The easy part's over now and you are gone
Now comes the hardest part living alone

Time is the only friend that I have left here with me
But can those healing hands of time erase your memory
The easy part's over now we've come to the end
The easy part's over now and the hard part begins

Time is the only friend that I have left here with me...

I FORGOT MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW

(Cecil Null) « © '53 Unart Catalog, BMI »
You think you know the smile on his lips
The thrill at the touch of his fingertips
But I forgot more than you'll ever know about him
You think you will find a heaven of bliss
In each caress each tender kiss
But I forgot more than you'll ever know about him

You stole his love from me one day
You didn't care how you hurt me
But you can never steal away
Mem'ries of what used to be

You think he's yours to have and to hold
Someday you'll learn when his love grows cold
That I forgot more than you'll ever know about him
[ piano ] You stole his love from me one day...
You think he's yours to have and to hold...

TRUE AND LASTING KIND

(Ted Harris) « © '68 Milene Music, ASCAP »
I walk the line because he makes me want to
Because he's mine there's a lot of things that I don't do
And it makes me proud to tell someone he's mine
For our love is the true and lasting kind

I search for ways to tell him that I love him
And make him know that no one stands above him
It's the thought of his that gets me home on time
For our love is the true and lasting kind

It scares me sometimes when I start to wonder
What would I do without him by my side
I could never fill the space he'd leave behind
For our love is the true and lasting kind
Our love is the true and lasting kind

HEAVEN SAYS HELLO

(Cindy Walker) « © '68 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Heaven says hello ev'ry morning
When the sun says hi I've come to spend the day
Heaven says hello with the songbirds
And the little flowers that nod along my way

And when the day is through and I hurry home to you
As the twilight steals across the golden skies
Heaven says hello when you kiss me
And I look into the blue of your eyes

(And when the day is through and I hurry home to you...
And I look into the blue of your eyes

LOVE TAKES CARE OF ME

(Jimmy Peppers) « © '68 Husky Music, BMI »
Cause your love takes good care of me
Yes your love takes good care of me
And when the rain falls and the wind blows
And the storm is on the sea
I'll be safe your love takes care of me

When life for me gets weary and the sun refuses to shine
I'll run to the arms of the one I love and there I'll hide
You know just what to do and say you make my life worth while
And when I look into your face I see heaven in your smile

And your love takes good care of me...
I'll be safe your love takes care of me

WHEN HEARTS GROW HARD AND COLD

(Jim Anglin) « © '68 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Here alone in my lonely bed rollin' and tumblin' all night long
Reliving blue yesterday in that courtroom our divorce then we walked away alone

Why did we let this thing happen to our love once more precious than gold
There's just no room for forgiveness when hearts grow hard and cold
[ steel ] Cruel words that will hurt forever we spoke in court yesterday
Too proud to say I'm sorry hard hearts let love slip away

Why did we let this thing happen to our love...

D-I-V-O-R-C-E

(Bobby Braddock - Curly Putman) « © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now tear the heart right out of me

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E

Watch him smile he thinks it's Christmas or his fifth birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words and turn my head when I speak
Cause I can't spell away this hurt that's drippin' down my cheek

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today...

CANDY KISSES

(George Morgan) « © '48 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than any of mine
Candy kisses wrapped in paper you'd rather have them any old time
You don't mean it when you whisper those sweet love words in my ear
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than mine do dear
[ steel - piano ] I built a castle out of dreams dear I thought that you were building one too
Now my castles all have fallen and I am left alone and blue
Once my heart was filled with gladness now there's sadness only tears
Candy kisses wrapped in paper mean more to you than mine do dear
