SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME

(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)
« © '60 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Well you can dance every dance with the guy who gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
And you can smile every smile for the man who held your hand
Neath the pale moon light
But don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darlin' save the last dance for me

Oh I know that the music's fine like sparkling wine go and have your fun
Laugh and sing but while we're apart don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darlin' save the last dance for me

Baby don't you know I love you so can't you feel it when we touch
I will never ever let you go cause I love you oh so much

Well you can dance go and carry on till the night is gone and it's time to go
And if he asks if you're all alone can he take you home you gotta tell him no
And don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darlin' save the last dance for me

Baby don't you know I love you so...
Oh darlin' save the last dance for me

YOU DON'T KNOW ME

(Cindy Walker - Eddy Arnold)
« © '55 Unichappell Music, BMI »
(You don't know me)

You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so
And anyone can tell you think you know me
Well but you don't know me
(You don't know me)

No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend that's all I've ever been
But you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go
By the chance that you might have loved me too
You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
You'll never never know the one who loves you so
No you don't know me

HONKY TONK SONG

(Mel Tillis - Buck Peddy)
« © '56 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Well I got me a room in a cheap hotel
My head was a spinning and I didn't feel well
I laid right down tried to go to sleep
But the band was playing in the joint underneath
I picked up my pillow when I covered up my head
But the band kept a playing and a shaking my bed

Honky tonk all night long honky tonk same old song
Honky tonk my money's all gone honky tonk she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed but I couldn't go to sleep
Cause the band kept a playing with a honky tonk beat
[ piano ] Well I'm so blue my baby's gone
She took all my money and left me all alone
I'm tryin' to forget her but I don't know what to do
The honky tonk song keeps a leaking through
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band kept a playing and a shaking my bed

Honky tonk all night long honky tonk same old song...

RELEASE ME (AND LET ME LOVE AGAIN)

(Eddie Miller - W.S. Stevenson)
« © '54 Roschelle Publishing, BMI »
(Please release me let me go)

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 so warm while yours're cold
Release me my darling let me go
[ fiddle - steel ] Yes I have found a new love dear...

DANCE HER BY ME (ONE MORE TIME)

(Danny Walfe)
« © '62 Unart Catalog, BMI »
Dance her by me one more time
The girl you're with used to be mine
I'll try to smile when you'll dance by
I don't want her see me cry

In the heart that you might know
Lives a mem'ry of long ago
So for a fool that was so blind
Please dance her by me one more time

Until she's gone I never knew how to cry
Oh I was so wrong to ever say goodbye
Though I lost the one you love
She's still a girl I dream of
So for a fool that was so blind
Please dance her by me one more time
(Dance her by me one more time)

AM I THAT EASY TO FORGET

(Carl Belew - W.S. Stevenson)
« © '59 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
They say you've found somebody new
But that won't stop my loving you
I just can't let you walk away
Forget the love I have for you

Yes I could find somebody too
But I don't want no one but you
How could you leave without regret
Oh am I that easy to forget

Before you leave be sure you find
You want his love much more than mine
Cause I'll just say we've never met
If I'm that easy to forget

Yes I could find somebody too...

SHE THINKS I STILL CARE

(Dickey Lee - Steve Duffy)
« © '62 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
(She thinks I still care)

Just because I asked a friend about her
And just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I called her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of her lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care

Well if she's happy thinking I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
How could she ever be so foolish
Where did she get such an idea

Just because I haunt the same old places...
She thinks I still care

FADED LOVE

(Bob Wills - John Wills)
« © '51 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
(I remember our faded love)

As I look at the letters that you wrote to me
It's you that I am thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so dear
I remember our faded love

I miss you darling more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat I still think of you
And remember our faded love
[ fiddle ] As I think of the past and all the pleasures we've had
As I watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye
I remember our faded love

I miss you darling more and more every day...

TILL I WALTZ AGAIN WITH YOU

(Sidney Prosen)
« © '61 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Till I waltz again with you don't let no other hold your charms
If my dreams should all come true you'll be waiting for my arms
Till I kiss you once again keep my love locked in your heart
Darling I'll return and then we will never have to part

Though it may break your heart and mine the minute when it's time to go
Remember dear each word divine that means I love you so
Till I waltz again with you just the way we are tonight
I will keep my promise true for you are my guiding light

Though it may break your heart and mine...

I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU

(Don Gibson)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind
To live in memories of an old lonesome time
I can't stop wanting you and it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours that we once knew
So long ago made me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still still still since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind...

SAN ANTONIO ROSE

(Bob Wills)
« © '40 Bourne Co, ASCAP »
Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I lived with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone

It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love

Moon and all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love my own

Broken song empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass beside the Alamo
And rose my Rose of San Antone
[ fiddle ] Broken song empty words I know...

LAST WALTZ

(Webb Pierce - Myra Freeman)
« © '52 Unichappell Music, BMI »
The ballroom was empty the crowd was asleep
When they played the last waltz for my darling and me
My poor heart kept wishing the night would not end
But she love another and I'm just her friend

I love her I love her my lonely heart cries
But soon she'll become another man's bride
She told me next Sunday was her wedding day
I gave my best wishes oh what more could I say
That night will be cherrished in my memory
When they'll play the last waltz for my darling and me

I love her I love her my lonely heart cries...
