GIVE HIM MY LOVE
(Ken Williams - Rose Marie McCoy)
« © '67 Drury Lane Music, BMI »
If you see my love with someone new please stop and give him my love
And if he should say she's his dream come true be sure and give him my love
And then if he should reach in a kiss so sweet and on his face a smile
As she rest her head on his shoulder and dreams of a walk down the isle
If it's you he greets with a warm hello just stop and give him my love
And if he still he says that he loves her so be sure and give him my love
And if he should think to ask of me if she clings to him like a glove
Just tell him I miss him and give him my love (give him my love)

TOUCH MY HEART
(Johnny Paycheck - Aubrey Mayhew - Donny Young)
« © '66 Dream City Music, BMI »
Touch my heart feel the hurt it's destroying me
I've tried but I can't seem to shake his memory
Touch my heart feel the hurt the pain and misery
And tell me again what love can do for me
If you lived in my world awhile you'd soon forget how to smile
For in my world there's a million ways to cry
If you had my eyes you could see how someone changed my destiny
I'm the one who can't live and yet can't die
Touch my heart...
Then tell me again what love can do for me

FUNNY FAMILIAR FORGOTTEN FEELINGS
(Mickey Newbury)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Last night quietly he walked through my mind as I lay searching for sleep
His arms reached out he whispered my name as he brushed a tear from my cheek
And then those funny familiar forgotten feelings started walkin' all over my mind
It's sad so sad to watch love go bad but a true love would not have gone wrong
I'm just thankful for the good times we've had for without them I could not go on
With all those funny familiar forgotten feelings a walkin' all over my mind
I must go on be strong though a million teardrops may fall
Before those funny familiar forgotten feelings stopped walkin' all over my mind

NO ONE
(Dottie West - Bill West)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
No one is worth all the hurt you've put me through
No one is worth all the tears I've cried for you
No one is worth all the heartaches that I knew
No one is worth this much no one but you
No one but a fool would love so hopelessly no one but a fool would ask for misery
And no one but a fool would be so deceive
No one would still love you no one but me
But no matter what you do I'll keep on loving you forever mhm
No one is worth all the hurt you've put me through
No one is worth this much no one but you

LONELY AGAIN
(Jean Chapel)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
You told me that others before you were foolish to cause me to cry
And just when I learned to adore you you kissed one more dream goodbye
And left me lonely again just like you found me lonely again no arms around me
Just when I'm sure that my heart is secure
And my teardrops are dry with a warm glow inside
And this love of mine till the end of the line
That's always the time that I'm lonely again
You told me you wanted me only and this time this love would last
You told me I'd never be lonely but now you belong to the past
And I'm so lonely again...

LAST LETTER
(Rex Griffin)
« © '39 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend
What have I done that has made you so distant and cold
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
And will you be happy when you are withered and old
No I cannot offer you diamonds or mansions so fine
And I cannot offer you all the clothes that your young body crave
But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine
Why just think of the heartaches all the tears and the sorrow you'll save
When you grow weary and tired of another one's gold
When you get lonely remember this letter my own
But don't try to reach me though I've suffered anguish untold
If you don't love me I just wish you would leave me alone
While I am writing this letter I think of the past
And of the promises that you have broken so free
And to this old world I'll soon say my farewell at last
Yes I will be gone when you read this last letter from me

I'LL HELP YOU FORGET HER
(Yvonne Devaney)
« © '67 Hanks's Music, BMI »
I'll help you forget her if you'll let me I'll welcome your arms open wide
I'll give you my shoulder to cry on until all your teardrops have dried
I'll help you forget her when you're lonely my arms will be your code to call
A shield from the storm that has hurt you a love that won't stumble and fall
All alone on an arm charted ocean you search for a love that used to be
Toss and turn by the tide of emotion adrift like a ship hopelessly lost at sea
But I'll help you forget her if you'll let me I'll guide you safely to shore
I'll be the anchor you cling to your harbor of love evermore

WALK THROUGH THIS WORLD WITH ME
(Sandy Seamons - Kaye Savage)
« © '66 Central Songs, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Walk through this world with me go where I go
Share all my dreams with me I need you so
In life we search and some of us find I've looked for you a long long time
And now that I found you new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
[ guitar ]
Walk through this world with me go where I go
Share all my dreams with me I search for you so
And now that I found you new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me

EVERYTHING'S A WRECK (SINCE YOU'RE GONE)
(Dottie West - Bill West)
« © '67 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The grass on the lawn is almost knee high
Cause I can't start the mower I've tried and I've tried
The electric is off in just half of the house
And I can't figure out what's wrong everything's a wreck since you've gone
The sink in the kitchen is all stopped up to
And since you've always fixed it I don't know what to do
My favorite past time lately is watching edge of might
And now the TV won't come on everything's a wreck since you've gone
Everyday something else just falls apart
But how can I keep them going without the knowhow or the art
I thought I'd change the color of the room I shared with you
And don't you know the ladder broke now even the floor is blue
Our poor old little parakeet doesn't sing anymore
Like me he's lonely all day long everything's a wreck since you've gone

I'D BE A LEGEND IN MY TIME
(Don Gibson)
« © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If heartaches brought fame in love's crazy game I'd be a legend legend in my time
If they gave gold statues for tears and regrets I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards and there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim then everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
[ guitar - steel ]
Oh but they don't don't give awards...
I'd be a legend in my time

LIKE A FOOL
(Yvonne Devaney)
« © '67 Hank's Music, BMI »
I know it won't be long until I hear from you
You'll be back as soon as you have lost with someone new
Giving me the run around the way you always do
Begging for another chance to prove your love is true
And like a fool I'll take you back again knowing all heartaches will start again
And my tears will fall like rain again
And like a fool I'll let you make a fool of me again
I stopped counting long ago the times you made me blue
You can never change the way you are the things you do
You cheat and lie with every kiss and break my heart in two
Making promises of love that never do come true
And like a fool...
Like a fool I'll let you make a fool of me again

THERE GOES MY EVERYTHING
(Dallas Frazier)
« © '65 Husky Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
There goes my only possesion there goes my everything
I hear footsteps slowly walking as they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice is so softly saying darling this will be goodbye forever more
There goes my reason for living there goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion there goes my everything
As my mem'ry turns back the pages I can see the happy years we shared before
And the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door
There goes my reason for living...
