WILLIE'S WINTER LOVE
(Merle Haggard)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I know I'm only Willie's winter love
He only seems to meet me just now and then
I know I'm only Willie's winter love
But he's mine alone till springtime comes again
When springtime comes I know he'll be leaving
When his good time friends start calling him to town
So I'll live and wait for Willie's winter season
When his trouble moments bring him back around
I know I'm only Willie's winter love...
When Willie's painted world turnes cold and stormy
It's then he finds the need to come around
To these arms of mine Lord knows they're always waitin'
But he'll leave again when love toss winter's ground
I know I'm only Willie's winter love...

I NEVER ONCE STOPPED LOVING YOU
(Bill Anderson - Jan Howard)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The nights were dark and long I spent a million all alone
But I never once stopped loving you
My world was cold and still my dreams lay unfulfill
Oh but I never once stopped loving you
I'll never once stop believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
Cause I never once stopped loving you
[ steel ]
I could have loved another but I chosed to wait and suffer
For I never once stopped loving you
I prayed to God to guide you until I could be beside you
No I never once stopped loving you
I'll never once stop believing...

COLD HAND OF FATE
(Dottie West)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The dawn of springtime gave birth to a new love
For you and me that it was born too late
For we both have been placed in the arms of others
Cheated by the cold hands of fate
Fate has no conscience no mercy for me and you
And the cold hand of fate wrote the book of who loves who
So let the snow of the winter cover our love
And for the sense of misfortune we'll pay
But we know in our hearts this love will live forever
Cheated by the cold hands of fate
And fate has no conscience...

CANCEL TOMORROW
(Red Lane - Dottie West)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Cancel tomorrow I need no more time
I've wasted our words running you through my mind
You'll love me forever not counting today
So cancel tomorrow or it will just be in my way
You promised me true love that never would die
You promised no heartaches no hurt or goodbyes
But now it's all over what else can I say
But cancel tomorrow or it will be just like today
Cancel tomorrow

ROCKY TOP
(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant)
« © '67 House Of Bryant, BMI »
Wish that I was on old Rocky Top down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top ain't no telephone bills
Once I had a man on Rocky Top half bear the other half cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop and I still dream about that
Oh Rocky Top you'll always be home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top Rocky Top Tennessee Rocky Top Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top lookin' for a moonshine still
Straingers ain't come down from Rocky Top reckon they never will
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top get their corn from a jar
Oh Rocky Top you'll always be...
(Here we go now play yeah)
[ banjo ]
(And here comes Charlie McCoy yeah)
[ harmonica ]
I've had years of trapped up city life trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life can't get simple again
Oh Rocky Top you'll always be...
Rocky Top Tennessee

SPECIAL MEMORY
(Red Lane - Dottie West)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Your love was a summer breeze that blew my mind and doesn't mean
And left my heart clinging desperately to a special memory
So special memory come walk with me through the fields of used to be
Where dreams can be reality and once again each you and me
Special memory
Your love was a summer storm no sound to hear then it was gone
And now sweet sadness lingers on and live my whole life long
So special memory...

WHO PUT THE LEAVING IN YOUR EYES
(Jim Owen)
« © '69 Sawgrass Music, BMI »
There you are standing at the window again
I know there's something tuggin' at your soul
You look like could run a hole in the wind
You're burning up with desire to go
Your touch has the hands of the cold north wind
I know it's all over but goodbye
To know you don't have the strenght to leave alone
So who put the leaving in your eyes
Who planted this satisfaction in your mind
Who gave you the strenght to say goodbye
Who put the restless feeling in your soul
Who put the leaving in your eyes
For so long we've been headed down a one-way street
We've both lost all desire to try
But I know you don't have the strenght to leave alone
So who put the leaving in your eyes
Who planted this satisfaction in your mind...
I see the leaving in your eyes who put the leaving in your eyes
Baby who put the leaving in your eyes

RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN' ON MY HEAD
(Hal David - Burt Bacharach)
« © '69 Blue Seas Music, ASCAP / Casa David, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like a boy who's feet are too big for his bed nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job those raindrops keep fallin' on my head they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know the blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me no it won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me hmm hmm
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Cryin's not for me cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free nothing's worryin' me
[ guitar ]
No it won't be long till happiness steps up to meet me hmm hmm
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head...
Yes I'm free nothing's worryin' me

AND I'M STILL MISSING YOU
(Chuck Glaser - James O. Payne)
« © '70 Ensign Music, BMI »
People laugh and love and cry and I'm still missing you
The paper boy still comes around just like he used to do But he's a little taller now and I'm still missing you The leaves are piled against the fence the sky is hazy blue There's talk about an early snow and I'm still missing you I'm still missing you The swirling winds of time bring many changes But for me they only blow across the surface of my heart And they can't cool this memory of you that burns so deep inside me Dick and Jane came by today their baby's almost due People laugh and love and cry and I'm still missing you I'm still missing you **********
