HERE COMES MY BABY BACK AGAIN
(Dottie West - Bill West)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Here comes more tears to cry here comes more heartaches by
Here comes my baby back again
Here comes more misery here comes old memories
Here comes my baby back again
My arms are open wide to let more hurt inside
Here comes my baby back again
He's sorry once again once more I'll understand
Here comes my baby back again
[ strings ]
My arms are open wide...
Here comes my baby back again
(Here comes my baby)

NIGHT LIFE
(Willie Nelson - Paul Buskirk - Walt Breeland)
« © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI / Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
When the evening sun goes down you will find me hanging round
Oh the night life ain't no good life but it's my life
Many people just like me dreaming of old used-to-be
No the night life ain't no good life but it's my life
Listen to the blues they're playin' oh listen what the blues keeps sayin'
Mine is just another scene from the world of broken dreams
Oh the night life ain't no good life but it's my life

THAT'S WHERE OUR LOVE MUST BE
(Dottie West)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
(That's where our love our love must be)
Where the sun takes the dew from the roses
Where winter takes the color from the leaves
Where the frost takes the sweetest of all flowers
That's where that's where our love must be
To that same place go the bubbles from the fountain
And so goes the white foam from the sea
And now since you say your love for me is gone
That's where that's where our love must be
Your love for me just disappeared like the flowers and the dew
So I had to let go of my heart of our love
So they'd meet in that somewhere to be true
In that world of no return lives our love now
That's where that's where our love must be

IN ITS OWN LITTLE WAY
(Dottie West - Bill West)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
In its own little way my heart keeps missing you
In its own little way my heart keeps wanting you
I'm hoping that you'll come back to stay
My heart keeps loving you in its own little way
If my heart could forget then I know I could met
Myself I'm someone new but my heart wants only you
In its own little way my heart keeps dreaming to
In its own little way my heart keeps crying to
Still hoping that you'll come back to stay
My heart keeps loving you in its own little way
My heart keeps loving you in its own little way

TAKE ME AS I AM (OR LET ME GO)
(Boudleaux Bryant)
« © '54 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Why must you always try to make me over
Take me as I am or let me go
White lilies never grow on stalks of clover
Take me as I am or let me go
You're trying to reshape me in a mold love
In the image of someone you used to know
But I won't be a standing for an old love
Take me as I am or let me go
[ piano ]
You've tried to change me ever since you met me
Take me as I am or let me go
If you can't overlook my faults forget me
Take me as I am or let me go
Oh you're trying to reshape me...

NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
(Fred Rose - Mel Foree)
« © '45 Milene Music, ASCAP »
No one will ever know my heart is breaking
Although a million teardrops start to flow
I'll cry myself to sleep and wake up smiling
I'll miss you but no one will ever know
I'll tell them we grew tired of each other
And realized our dreams could never be
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me
No one will ever know how much I'm pining
Each time the past comes back to haunt me so
No one will ever see the tears I'm hiding
Yes you've hurt me but no one will ever know
I'll tell them I've found true love with another
And that I was glad the day you set me free
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me

DIDN'T I
(Dottie West)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Didn't I try hard enough to understand your ways
Didn't I stay strong enough through all our stormy days
Like ivy clinging to our little house so close were you and I
Then came the day you just walked away and I lost you didn't I
Didn't I kiss you often enough didn't I hold you tight
And didn't I say I love you each time we kissed goodnight
Darling please tell me what I didn't do cause I tried so hard to make you see
That above everything in this world you were all that was for me
And you know I've thought I was all that you wanted in fact you've told me so
But I guess I failed somewhere along the way and just where I'd give my life to know
Like ivy clinging to our little house so close were you and I
Then came the day you just walked away and I lost you didn't I

MAMA KISS THE HURT AWAY
(Dottie West - Bill West)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Mama kiss the hurt away yes mama kiss the hurt away
When I was just a little girl I'd fall down and skinned up my knees
But mama would say let me kiss the hurt away then it'll be all better
Well it wasn't very long till I started first grade
And I cried cause Billy pulled my pigtail
But mama just say let me kiss the hurt away and then it'll be all better
Mama kiss the hurt away yes mama kiss the hurt away
This my mama would always say let mama kiss the hurt away
As I grew older and went to high school I'd fell so in love with Billy
But oh then one day Jenny stole his love away now nothing can be all better
Mama kiss the hurt away please mama kiss the hurt away
But I guess I'm too big for mama to say let mama kiss the hurt away

TOUCH ME
(Willie Nelson)
« © '62 Tree Publishing, BMI »
(Touch me touch me)
Touch me touch the girl who once held all the world in her hand
Touch me touch the arms of the girl that once held the world's finest man
Touch me maybe someday you may need to know how you feel when you lose
So touch me and you'll know how you feel with the blues
[ strings ]
Watch me watch the eyes that have seen all the heartbreak and pain in the world
And be thankful that you're happy though standing so close to the world's bluest girl
Don't forget me take a good look at someone who's lost everything she can lose
So touch me and you'll know how you feel with the blues
(Touch me touch me)
Don't forget me take a good look...

MAMA YOU'D HAVE BEEN PROUD OF ME
(Hank Cochran)
« © '65 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The one I love so much told me goodbye
It hurt so much but I didn't cry
I let a smile hide my misery
Mama you'd have been proud of me
Yesterday I thought to him just like a friend
Smiled and asked him how he'd been
Said I hope you're happy as can be
Mama you'd have been proud of me
And if you could have seen me today
I'd smile and laugh in my old carefree way
They thought that I was like I'd like to be
Mama you'd have been proud of me
Mama you'd have been proud of me

I DREAMED OF AN OLD LOVE AFFAIR
(Jimmie Davis - Charles Mitchell - Bonnie Dodd)
« © '56 Peer International, BMI »
Just like old times you were here last night and gone was my worry and care
When I awoke I knew then that I had dreamed of an old love affair
I was alone in the darkness my dear many dreams ago you left me there
Sunlight told me you had gone and I had dreamed of an old love affair
[ piano ]
I've been so lonely since you have gone I loved you with all of my heart
Heaven was mine when you smiled last night and said that we'd take a new start
Life seems so empty without you today why if it's sun or rain I just don't care
For sunlight told me you had gone and I had dreamed of an old love affair

ALL THE WORLD IS LONELY NOW
(Mel Foree)
« © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Yesterday you said you loved me today you say it's over now
Why did you go away and leave me all the world is lonely now
I tried so hard to make you happy with love your heart would not allow
It's hard to know you'll never love me all the world is lonely now
Goodbye good luck and may God bless you I'm tired to get along somehow
I know I'll never love another all the world is lonely now
All the world is lonely now
