SEASONS OF MY HEART

(George Jones - Darrell Edwards) « © '55 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
The seasons come the seasons go
We get a little sunshine rain and snow
Just the way that it was planned to be
But there's no seasons in my heart
While you play the leading part
But the flowers will bloom eternaly

Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears like withered leaves will fall
But spring could bring some glad tomorrow
And darling we could be happy after all
[ steel ] As it is in nature's plan
No season get's the upper hand
Oh how I try to keep this fact in mind
The trees are bare the cold wind blows
And by experience we should know
That winter comes but the spring is close behind

Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow...

ONLY ONE I EVER LOVED I LOST

(Johnny Wright - Jack Anglin - Jim Anglin) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
When I lost your love dear I lost my ev'rything
The sunshine from my life has disappeared
The night we said our last goodbye I wished you happiness
Then I walked away so darkness would hide my tears

Without the faith of a loved one this world's a lonesome place
True love is mighty cheap at any cost
I'm doomed to be a failure though the future brings wealth and fame
For the only one I ever loved I lost
[ steel ] If I found fame and fortune what good would get to me
I couldn't fool my heart it knows me best
There's one love in ev'ry lifetime mine belongs to you
And that means more to me than all the rest

Without the faith of a loved one this world's a lonesome place...

MOST OF ALL

(Hank Thompson) « © '54 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Lots of things in life have never mattered
I never cared if winter followed fall
But the dreams I hoped for now have shattered
Cause it was you that I wanted most of all

Most of all I wanted you to love me
And live again those moments I recall
But I had to give you up to make you happy
To give you up was the hardest most of all
[ fiddle - steel ] It seems we lead our life in quest of treasure
A phantom that eludes us one and all
The road of life without you has no measure
Cause it was you that I wanted most of all

Most of all I've wanted you to love me...

LONELY IS A WORD

(John D. Loudermilk) « © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Lonely is a word lonely is a word that they made up when
Somebody loses their only love and their only friend

Lonely is a word lonely is a word that describes a tear
That's held inside or that is cried when no one is near

Unless you've lost your only love and unless you've lost your friend
You won't know what lonely means you won't understand

That lonely is a word lonely is a word that they made up when
Somebody loses their only love and their only friend
And their only friend

FICKLE FUN

(Bill Anderson) « © '60 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
In the midst of all the laughter stop and face yourself
See that mirror on the wall oh foolish one
Tell the image in the glass just who you're kidding now
With your life of sin and shame and fickle fun

Fun tonight but in the morning
You'll hate yourself for all the wrong you've done
Put down that glass bid goodbye and come on home right now
Don't become a hopeless slave to fickle fun
[ fiddle ] Out to parties ev'ry night a new girl by your side
Can't you see your very life has come undone
You're playing songs upon the strings that lead to loneliness
Countless kisses passing pleasures fickle fun

Fun tonight but in the morning...

HANDS YOU'RE HOLDING NOW

(Marty Robbins) « © '58 Mariposa Music, BMI »
The hands I'm holding now if you remember
Are the very hands that gave me my first rose
They're reaching out for one last dying ember
In the ashes of a love that's lost its glow

But if you don't want me I won't try to keep you
But there's just smallest chance you may be wrong
Until you're sure I hope you'll never let go
Of the hands that you've been holding for so long
[ steel ] Did God mean I could keep you for a lifetime
Or did he mean for just a year or two
And if it's meant that I should have to lose you
Then what's these hands you're holding gonna do

But if you don't want me I won't try to keep you...

SEND ME THE PILLOW THAT YOU DREAM ON

(Hank Locklin) « © '49 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that I still care for you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

At night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely
I'll share your loving dreams that once were true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too
[ steel - piano ] Send me the pillow that you dream on
Maybe time will let our dreams come true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

I've waited so long for you to write me
But just a mem'ry's all I have of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling I can dream on it too

AMIGO'S GUITAR

(John D. Loudermilk - Roy Botkin - Kitty Wells) « © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Tonight they're singing in DeVilla tomorrow you'll be gone so far
Hold me close and say you love me while amigo plays his blue guitar

Aj aj aj aj the moon is lonely tomorrow I'll wonder where you are
Manana morning my darling I'll be blue as amigo's guitar
[ ac.guitar ] They've hushed the singing in DeVilla all is quiet beneath the stars
Amigo plays Hasta Luego up on his lonely blue guitar

Aj aj aj aj the moon is lonely tomorrow I'll wonder where you are...

LET ME HELP YOU FORGET

(Jim Anglin) « © '58 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Let me help you forget one who forgot you
Let me make you realize your dreams can come true
Don't cry over her she left you with the blues
Let me help you forget with a love that is true

I understand darling why you feel this way
Afraid to take the chance first love went astray
Let my arms erase memories that hurt you yet
Trust me darling let me help you forget
[ piano ] I'll make you happy just forget the past
Stop brooding for false love it never does last
Just listen to your heart and I'll do the rest
Life can be beautiful let me help you forget

Let me help you forget one who forgot you....

I'LL BE ALL SMILES TONIGHT

(A.P. Carter) « © '50 Peer International, BMI »
I'll deck my brow with roses my loved one may be there
And gems that others gave me I'll wear within my hair
And even them that know me will say my heart is light
Though my heart may break tomorrow I'll be all smiles tonight

I'll be all smiles tonight love I'll be all smiles tonight
Though my heart may break tomorrow I'll be all smiles tonight
[ steel ] And when the dance is over and all have gone to rest
I'll think of him dear mother the one that I love best
He once did love believe me but now has grown cold and strange
He sought not to deceive me false friends have caused this change

I'll be all smiles tonight love I'll be all smiles tonight...

OTHER CHEEK

(Wayne P. Walker) « © '60 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I've done ev'rything I can to make you love me
But we're still no more than only friends
And you tell me I can never make you happy
I won't turn the other cheek again

You placed your fun and bright lights before me
But one day when all your good times end
You'll find yourself alone on love's lost highway
And I won't turn the other cheek again

Someday you may want a sweet someone
To share all the dreams that might have been well friend
Don't look for me cause you won't find me waiting
I won't turn the other cheek again
[ steel ] Someday you may want a sweet someone...

IF I HAD THE RIGHT TO DO YOU WRONG

(John D. Loudermilk) « © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If I had the right to do you wrong
I'd do you right and never do wrong
If I had the heart to leave you and part
I'd give up my heart and stay

How could a girl in her right mind
Treat such a true love as you are unkind
No I couldn't hurt you I believe I would die
If I broke your heart dear and made you cry and made you cry

If I had the right to do you wrong...
