EACH DAY

(Benny Martin - Jim Denny) « © '56 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Each day I cry a little each day I die a little
I thank the Lord for letting me go on
Each day your love grows colder someday you'll need my shoulder
To cry on when you're alone and blue

Even though I need your help I guess I can go on
I'll try and find another love so I won't be alone
Each day I cry a little each day I die a little
And when I'll go on I'll still be loving you
[ fiddle - steel ] Even though I need your help I guess I can go on...

DANCING WITH A STRANGER

(Cindy Walker) « © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
While you're dancing with a stranger
There where the other cheaters hide
Oh what has happened to us darling
For I know my place is by your side

I hate her eyes and laughing red lips
Those red lips that kiss away my pride
And I hate the life that you're living
For I know my place is by your side

So why are you dancing with a stranger
And why have you cheated me and lied
Now you have left me for this stranger
And she's in my place by your side
[ steel - fiddle ] So why you are dancing with a stranger...

MANSION ON THE HILL

(Hank Williams - Fred Rose) « © '48 Milene Music, ASCAP / Intersong USA, ASCAP »
Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin
I can see your mansion on the hill

Do you recall when we parted
The story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill
[ steel - fiddle ] I've waited all through the years love
To give you a heart true and real
Cause I know you're living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill

The lights shine bright in your window
The trees stand silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill

CHANGE OF HEART

(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant) « © '57 House Of Bryant, BMI »
Well I guess you must have had a change of heart
You don't treat me like you used at the start
Your campaign of love was quiet a work of art
But I guess you must have had a change of heart

Guess I took too much for granted anyway
But it's just cause I'd believe those things you'd say
Not so long ago you'd swore we'd never part
Well I guess you must have had a change of heart
[ whistle/hum ] Well goodbye to all those castles in the air
And goodbye to all the plans we used to share
They were fragments of a dream that fell apart
Now they're gone because you've had a change of heart
They're all gone because you've had a change of heart

STANDING ROOM ONLY

(Billy Walace - Bill Carlisle) « © '57 Unichappell Nusic, BMI »
In your heart there's just standing room only
You had so many lovers before
But please pity your life that's been lonely
And let me come in your heart's door

In your heart there's just standing room only
But you know love is deeper than pride
If I can't be your one and only
I'd be happy just to stand there in sight
[ fiddle ] With you now I plead oh so lonely
Don't lock me outside with no key
In your heart there's just standing room only
But I beg you to make room for me

In your heart there's just standing room only...

I GUESS I'LL GO ON DREAMING

(Johnnie Bailes - Walter Bailes) « © '56 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You tell me you are leaving you don't love me anymore
All my pleadings and my efforts are in vain
Well I guess you found another or you just got tired of me
Then I guess I'll go on dreaming just the same

When you hold her in your arms and you smile into her eyes
Will you let our past run in your mind again
But if you are satisfied with another by your side
Then I guess I'll go on dreaming just the same
[ steel - fiddle ] If by chance your friend should leave you and you wander all alone
In my heart I'll gladly take you back again
If you're married happily live in wealth and luxury
Then I guess I'll go on dreaming just the same

After time has told its story and the grey has streak your hair
And no longer in your heart I'm to blame
Even after death has called you from this wicked world of sin
Then I guess I'll go on dreaming just the same

WINNER OF YOUR HEART

(Johnnie Masters) « © '53 Peer International, BMI »
If you could read my mind you wouldn't be so blind
Can't you see that I'm in love with you
My lips won't make a sound my head just spins around
My tongue get tied and I can't make a sound

I'd like to make you mine and squeeze you till you're blind
Bless your little heart you're just my kind
I'd like for you to know I'm too bashful to say so
I'd like to be the winner of your heart
[ fiddle ] I can't eat a bite I've lost my appetite
I'm so lovesick I think I'm gonna die
When I hear your name I simply go insane
My friends all think I'm sick but I'm in love

I'd like to make you mine and squeeze you till you're blind...

PACE THAT KILLS

(Harlan Howard) « © '56 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Too many parties and too much drinkin'
Too many sweethearts too little thinkin'
I love you darlin' I always will
But honey you're devoted to the pace that kills

What kind of future is there before you
A wife and children would only bore you
So till God calls you to pay your bills
Your restless heart must travel at the pace that kills
[ steel - fiddle ] You're travelin' down grade with eyes wide open
And I'm through pleadin' and tired of hopin'
You're always searchin' for a bigger thrill
And honey I could never stand the pace that kills

What kind of future is there before you...

STUBBORN HEART

(Johnnie Masters) « © '57 Peer International, BMI »
Ev'rything that I say seems to upset you
When I try to tell you of my love
Open your eyes don't tear us apart
Honey all that is wrong is your stubborn heart

Stubborn heart you could be happy
Stubborn heart you could be laughing
We're like two lonely stars so far apart
Honey you're already wrong as your stubborn heart
[ steel ] You have turned my lonely heart into a beggar
When I try to kiss you you turn away
I'm begging you now to make a new start
Honey all that is wrong is your stubborn heart

Stubborn heart you could be happy...
I got short winded
Come on I'll get it this time
I hope

RIGHT OR WRONG

(Sonny James - John Syke) « © '57 Marson Music, BMI »
Right or wrong I dreamed about you all through the night
I was in love with you the moment that you came into sight
I hesitate to tell that I held you in my arms oh so long
But in my mind I made you mine right or wrong

Right or wrong oh my darling will this dream of mine come true
Right or wrong what is your answer for you know I am true blue
Why do you wait and hesitate I've waited for you oh so long
Hear my request and answer yes right or wrong
[ steel - fiddle ] Right or wrong I dreamed that you and I were truly wed
The organ played the choir sang I know just what that preacher said
I kissed your lips and in return I felt you hold me oh so long
New life begun for we were one right or wrong

Right or wrong oh my darling will this dream of mine come true...

BROKEN MARRIAGE VOW

(Johnnie Bailes - Walter Bailes) « © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
[ with Ray Crisp ]
I got the letter darling read it o'er and o'er again
You say that you are really sorry now
After all this time I've suffered you asked me to come back
Marriage vows that were forgotten you are just recalling now

Marriage vows forgotten is a debt you'll have to pay
For I realize I can never want you now
I thought at first I couldn't live without you being around
But you're the one I'm not to blame for broken marriage vow
[ fiddle ] I've forgiven you my darling prayed that God would do the same
Was before him that we made our ev'ry vow
I must say I'll always love you you're my choice of all the rest
And I'm glad the vows you've broken you at last remembered now

Marriage vows forgotten is a debt you'll have to pay...

SHE'S NO ANGEL

(Wanda Ballman - J.W. Arnold) « © '56 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
You'll see her there at the bar across the room
She looks like an angel with her paint and perfume
You'd like to meet her your conscience says no
Obey your conscience turn around boy and go

She's no angel she's no angel her wings are not real
She'll ruin your life if your heart she can steal
She'll tell you tales to bring tears to your eyes
But don't you believe them for they're only lies
[ steel ] You think if only she could be your own
You'd be more contented than a king on his throne
You'd better not trust her it's wrong if you'd do
She's broken many hearts and she'll break yours too

She's no angel she's no angel her wings are not real...
