BREAKING IN A BRAND NEW BROKEN HEART
(Howard Greenfield - Jack Keller)
« © '61 Careers Music, BMI / Colgems Music, ASCAP »
If my friends should ask for me here at home is where I'll be
There's no one I care to see I'm breaking in a brand new broken heart
Now the heartaches have begun there's a job that must be done
I've no time for having fun I'm breaking in a brand new broken heart
Oh leave me alone and let me cry cry cry
There are tears that must be cried untill there's no more tears inside
Let me take the count of ten then I'll bounce right back again
Let me be alone till then I'm breaking in a brand new broken heart
I'm breaking in a brand new broken heart

WILD SIDE OF LIFE
(William Warren - Arlie Carter)
« © '51 Unart Catalog, BMI »
You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you you asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you so I wrote it in the words of this song
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one who ever loved you and went back to the wild side of life
[ piano ]
The glamor of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flows
Where you wait to be anybody's baby and forget the truest love you'll ever know
I didn't know God made...

ANSWER ME MY LOVE
(Carl Sigman - Gerhard Winkler - Fred Rauch)
« © '54 Bourne Co, ASCAP »
Answer me oh my love just what sin have I been guilty of
Won't you tell me how I lost you love please answer me sweetheart
You were mine yesterday I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray please answer me my love
If you're happier without me I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me please answer this one prayer
You must know I've been true won't you say that we can start anew
In my sorrow now I turn to you please answer me my love
If you're happier without me...
(Answer me my love)

TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER
(Arthur Kent - Ed Warren)
« © '61 Music Sales, ASCAP »
(Take good care of her take good care of her)
I supposed I ought to say congratulations
For you've won the only girl I ever loved
But I've hurt too much to face the situation
Just take good care of her take good care of her
Just to be around her was my greatest pleasure
She was everything my future held in store
So remember when you take my only treasure
Please take good care of her take good care of her
I must accepted she loves you more than me
So with my broken heart I'll bow out gracefuly
Please don't send me any wedding invitations
For I couldn't dare to see her there with you
If she's happy that will be my consolation
So take good care of her take good care of her

NEAR YOU
(Kermit Goell - Francis Craig)
« © '47 Supreme Music, ASCAP »
There's just one place for me near you it's like heaven to be near you
Times when we're apart I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stray more than just two lips away
If my hours could be spent near you I'd be more than content near you
Make my life worthwhile by telling me that I'll spend the rest of my days near you
There's just one place for me...
Spend the rest of my days near you

BURNING BRIDGES
(Walter Scott)
« © '57 Broad River Publishing, BMI »
Found some letters you wrote me this morning and they told of the love we once knew
Now they're gone I'd burned them to ashes don't want nothing to remind me of you
Burning bridges behind me it's too late to turn back now
Burning bridges behind me all I want is to forget you somehow
I sold the house that we once planned together
I said goodbye to all the friends that we knew
Then I moved to a faraway city tryin' so hard to forget about you
Burning bridges behind me...

I FALL TO PIECES
(Harlan Howard - Hank Cochran)
« © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I fall to pieces each time I see you with him
I fall to pieces how can I be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget pretend we've never met
And I've tried oh I've tried but I haven't yet you walk by and I fall to pieces
[ guitar ]
I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone to love me too the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new you walk by and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces

YOUNG BUT TRUE LOVE
(Betty Sue Perry - Teddy Wilburn)
« © '62 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
Young but true love my love for you love constant and deep in my heart
And there's no denying two hearts will be dying if we let them keep us apart
And waitin' will link them the time that could string them
A love that means our happiness
For there's none more fewer and there's none more surer
Than young but true love that is ours
[ ac.guitar ]
And if dreams we've started leave us broken hearted together we'll share all the tears
Just two young they'll flame it but we'll never blame it
On young but true love that is ours

JUST CALL ME LONESOME
(Rex Griffin)
« © '53 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Why must I love the heartless one who'll never know the harm she's done
Though love is blind I should have known just call me lonesome from now on
I climb the stairs up to my room but no one meets me in my gloom
The silence tells me she is gone just call me lonesome from now on
These walls will hide me when I cry and hope that heaven lets me die
What good is life when hope is gone just call me lonesome from now on
I pray my memories at last will fade into the distant past
If I must live and love alone just call me lonesome from now on

RELEASE ME (AND LET ME LOVE AGAIN)
(Eddie Miller - W.S. Stevenson - Robert Yount - Dub Williams)
« © '54 Roschelle Publishing, BMI »
Please release me let me go I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin release and let me love again
I have found a new love dear and I'll always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold release me darling let me go
[ ac.guitar ]
Please release me let me go I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin release and let me love again

NO LETTER TODAY
(Frankie Brown)
« © '59 Peer International, BMI »
No letter today I have waited since dawn
I've waited each day since you have been gone
No letter today all the nights are so long
Oh why don't you write I know I was wrong
Please give me one chance please won't you forgive
I'll love you my dear as long as I live
I know it's no use still I hope and I pray the postman goes by no letter today
Please give me one chance...

I'M BEGINNING TO KNOW ABOUT ME
(Jimmy Dickens - Larry Kirby)
« © '62 Sure-Fire Music, BMI »
I'm beginning to know know about me every little thing a man should see
Without you I am nothing and I know I'll never be
I'm beginning to know know about me
Mistakes I've made I never can undo why were they made while I was loving you
My heart was such a foolish heart that loved so carelessly
Your leaving taught me so much about me
I'm beginning to know...
I'm beginning to know know about me
