There are many approaches to a song... the romantic approach... the sentimental approach... the rhythmic approach... but only Faron Young combines all these things in a very wonderful and special style known to his countless fans as The Young Approach. Faron Young fans have come to expect three things in Faron's albums - a sincere manner, a romantic flavor, and a danceable tempo. All three are certainly evident here as his remarkable voice, backed by his singing friends the Jordanaires, delivers selections ranging from grand old favorites to some great new songs that are sure to become favorites. One of the highlights of this fine album is a brand-new bouncing version of one of Faron's biggest hits of the past - his always-popular Goin' Steady. Along with that great performance, you'll hear Faron's wonderful new interpretation of Backtrack. which is already famous as his most recent hit single. He sings here in a variety of moods and styles, bringing you songs that will set your feet a-dancin', hands a-clappin' and heart a-hummin'. This indeed is The Young Approach at its finest!

BACKTRACK
(Alex Zanetis - Faron Young)
« © '61 Court Of Kings, BMI »

Well I've never been so lonely and I've never been so blue
I'm leaving in the morning gonna backtrack to you
Your picture's here beside me and never leaves my sight
I'm kissin' like I'm kissin' you oh how I'm missin' you tonight

Well tomorrow night will be a different story
Well I get to hold you in my arms again
Will you find it in your heart to forget me
If you do how little fool I've been
I'm hoping and I'm praying that all my prayers all come true
I'm leaving in the morning gonna backtrack to you

Well tomorrow night...
Gonna backtrack to you gonna backtrack to you
Gonna backtrack to you

LET'S PRETEND WE'RE LOVERS AGAIN
(Jan Crutchfield - Jerry Crutchfield)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »

Let's pretend we're lovers again you're all alone and so am I
Let's forget bad memries and then we can be lovers if we try

One year ago I walked away from your arms
It hurt you so I know cause how you cried
But my pride just wouldn't let me say I'm sorry
But tonight our parting overruled my pride

Let's pretend we're lovers again...
Then we can be lovers if we try

PART WHERE I CRY
(Willie Nelson)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »

Life is a picture and I play the lead but my biggest line was goodbye
My leading lady just walk right on me and this is the part where I cried

I was great in the scene where she found someone new
You should have seen my look of surprise
And if you'll have just walk into the picture this is the part where I cry

And after the picture is over and you judged for the part where you lied
The award of the chiefment that is given will be mine for the way that I cried

Cause I was great in the scene...

I FALL TO PIECES
(Harlan Howard - Hank Cochran)
« © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »

I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces how can I be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never met
You want me to forget pretend we've never met
And I tried and I 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 want me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll 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

HOW CAN I FORGET YOU
(Alex Zanetis)
« © '61 Vanadore Music, BMI »

You told me to ferget I love you but you never told me how
I can't tell this heart of mine stop don't love her now
You say that someday there will come a time when I'll find someone new
But you don't seem to understand I'll love only you

How can I forget you just where do I start
If you know the answer won't you tell it to my heart
You've made me love you from the first day the first day that we've met
So darling stop and tell me how can I forget

How can I forget you...

(Faron Young)

Well me and my baby are goin' steady we ain't married but we're gettin' ready
To tie the knot and I'm gonna make her my own
Now that I've found her I'm gonna keep her finders keepers losers weepers
She's my baby she's goin' steady with me

Well I've been a honky tonkin' round nearly all my life
But now I got a steady babe and I'm gonna make her my wife
All you rovin' ramblers can leave her alone don't even try to date her on the phone
Cause she's my baby she's goin' steady with me
[ guitar ]
Well we'll get the rings and be on our way to see the preacher man
And when you say I do sweetheart I'll slip the ring on your loving hand
Everything's gonna turn out fine I'll be yours and you'll be mine
You're my baby goin' steady with me

THREE DAYS
(Willie Nelson)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »

Three days that I dread to see arrive three days that I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow yesterday today and tomorrow

There are three days I know that I'll be blue
Yeah three days that I'll always dream of you
And it does no good to wish these days will end
Cause these same three days start over again

Three days that I dread...
[ guitar ]
Three days that I dread...
Yesterday today and tomorrow

I CAN'T FIND THE TIME
(Hank Cochran - Willie Nelson)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »

I've searched through each moment of each passing hour
But your memory grows stronger I find
Oh they tell me in time I'll forget you but somehow I can't find the time

They tell me in time I'll find another and happiness again will be mine
Oh they tell me in time I'll forget you but somehow I can't find the time

Oh something each moment reminds me of you you're always in up on my mind
Oh they tell me in time I'll forget you but somehow I can't find the time

Oh something each moment...
Oh something each moment...

TRAIL OF TEARS
(Alex Zanetis)
« © '61 Vanadore Music, BMI »

I'll leave the trail of tears behind me and hope that someday you will find me
Through long and lonely years I'll leave an endless trail of tears

I'll search for love for someone new the whole my life I'll find no one like
Until the day when you are near I'll leave an endless trail of tears

I'll search for love...

MOMENT ISN'T VERY LONG
(Willie Nelson)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »

Yesterday as I talked with a friend in town
I forgot to remember that you'd gone
And for a moment I found my lips smilin'
But a moment isn't very long

And last night as I danced with a stranger
And she held her cheek close to my own
For a moment I almost forgot you
But a moment isn't very long

Every now and then I get a chance to smile
But those every now and thens just last a little while

And tonight I've got a date with a new love
But I know I'd do just as well at home
For a moment maybe I could forgot you
But a moment isn't very long
But a moment isn't very long

MOMENTS TO REMEMBER
(Robert Allen - Al Stillman)
« © '58 Charlie Deitcher Productions, ASCAP / Larry Spier Inc, ASCAP »

The New Year's Eve we did the town the night we tore the goal post down
We'll have these moments to remember
The quiet walks the noisy fun the ballroom prize we almost won
We'll have these moments to remember

Though summer turns to winter and the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share will echo through the years
Though other nights and other days may find us gone our separate ways
We'll have these moments to remember
[ ac.guitar ]
Though summer turns to winter...

THINGS TO REMEMBER
(Willie Nelson)
« © '61 Tree Publishing, BMI »

I've cried so much lately that I've made out of list
Of things to remember things to forget
But my mind can't seperate all the joy from regret
I'll always remember the things to forget

Things to remember the day that we've met
The day that we've parted things to forget
Why won't my heart let me do it this way
With just things to remember today
[ guitar ]
Things to remember plans that were set
Plans didn't work out things to forget
Why won't my heart let me do it this way
With just things to remember today

Oh things to remember the day that we've met
The day that we've parted things to forget
Why won't my heart let me do it this way
With just things to remember today
Oh things to remember today oh things to remember today
