How Blue

Hugh Moffatt

© Songmedia Music, BMI

How blue (how blue) can you make me
How long till I heal
How can I go on loving you when you're gone
How blue (how blue) can I feel

Oh honey why did you leave me
Ain't you got a heart left in your chest
I swear to you that I'm dying
Cause my mind won't let my body rest

How blue (how blue) can you make me...
[ instrumental ]
If I sink any lower I'll go under
If I cry anymore I'll go blind
Lord there ain't no relief for this missin' you grief
How long can you torture my mind

How blue (how blue) can you make me...

How can I go on loving you when you're gone
How blue (how blue) can I feel

That's What He Said

Rick Carnes - Janis Carnes

© Clear Channel Music, ASCAP

You tell me that you're always gonna love me
But that's what he said that's what he said
And forever is a word that should mean something
But that's what he said that's what he said

You're telling me the same sweet things he told me
And in your eyes I see that same sweet glow
And did you say you'd never leave me lonely
Well that's what he said that's what he said
[ instrumental ]
You're telling me I've got to go on living
To open up my heart and just let go
And it's better to love and lose than live with nothing
But that's what he said that's what he said
That's what he said that's what he said

I Want To Hear It From You

Fred Carter

© Tree Pub, BMI

If all our love is through if you found someone new
Then I want to hear it from you
If there is no mistake and if my heart must break
I want to hear it from you

Just the thought of losing you is more than I can stand
But this hurt would be much worse if I heard it secondhand
If there's no hope at all if all my world must fall
I want to hear it from you
[ instrumental ]
So tell me now if things are not the way they used to be
I want to hear it from your lips you owe that much to me
If all our love is through if you found someone new
Then I want to hear it from you

It's Not Over (If I'm Not Over You)

Larry Kingston - Mark Wright

© Songs Of PolyGram, BMI

You can tell everyone love is over and done
You can pack all your things and go
You can lie to yourself and say that there's nothing left
But there's something that I like you to know

It's never really over
Even though you say we're through
You may be holding me but can't you see
It's not over if I'm not over you
[ instrumental ]
There's not much I can do if it's over for you
I'll just wish you the best when you leave
But you played such a part in my life
And in my heart you'll always be part of me

It's never really over...

You may be holding me but can't you see
It's not over if I'm not over you

Somebody Should Leave

Harlan Howard - Chick Rains

© Tree Pub, BMI

It sure gets quiet when the kids go to bed
We sit here in the silence putting off what must be said
I read a book you watch TV as our love dies quietly
I'm so sad I don't know what I've just read

Somebody should leave but which one should it be
You need the kids and they need me
Somebody should leave but we hate to give in
We keep hopin' somehow we might need each other again
[ instrumental ]
You say goodnight and turn and face the wall
We lie here in the darkness and the tears start to fall
If it was only you and me goodbye might come more easily
But what about those babies down the hall

Somebody should leave but which one should it be...

Somebody should leave so we hate to give in
We just keep hopin' somehow we might need each other again

Everything But My Heart

Troy Seals - Graham Lyle

© WB Music, ASCAP

The bed is cold and empty in the morning light
I'm searching for my pride through tangled covers
And loneliness is not a very pretty sight when you first discover
That it's over a hard one to lose love hurts it's sad but true

He wanted my arms around him oh without a doubt
He wanted my warm red lips soft on his mouth
He loved all of me except for one small part
He wanted everything everything but my heart
[ instrumental ]
Love is not an easy word for me right now
Too much has happened to my feelings
It's gonna be rough not having him around
Until time has done some healing

And it's over and I'm over
You love hurts it's sad but true

He wanted my arms around him oh without a doubt...

Don't You Believe Him

Nat Stuckey

© Su-Ma Pub, BMI

He can give you a reason to live if he wants to
He can make you forget other loves that you have known
He has two lips and two arms that thrill you as bad if you do
And if you want him to give them to you just ask and he will

Don't you believe him I did
And soon he'll be leaving me
Don't you believe him if you do
Then soon he'll be leaving you too
[ instrumental ]
He can tell you a lie you believe if he has to
And you'll trust him till time and the tie both stands still
He can cry on your shoulder and swear to the things that he won't do
Ah but be careful for when you're not looking he will

But don't you believe him I did...

Before I Met You

Charles Seitz - Joe Lewis - Elmar Rader

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Well I thought I had seen good looking men in my time
That was before I met you
And I never saw one that I've wanted for mine
That was before I met you

Well I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you
[ instrumental ]
Well I wanted to ramble and always be free
That was before I met you
And I said that nobody could ever hold me
That was before I met you

Well I thought I was swinging the world by the tail...
[ instrumental ]
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you
But that was before I met you

He's Only Everything

Billy Deaton - Faron Young

© Court Of Kings, BMI

In the eyes of the world he's only an ordinary man
But there's a million and one things the eyes of the world never see
He may walk the same he may talk the same as a million others do
Oh but you'd see him as I do if his heart had eyes for you

He's only everything only everything
He's as real as the thrill I feel when he walks through my dreams
He's the one I hold when my world grows cold
And needs a touch of spring
Or a song to sing
Yes in these eyes of mine Lord he's only everything
[ instrumental ]
He's only everything only everything...
Yes in these eyes of mine Lord he's only everything

You've Got Me (Right Where You Want Me)

Connie Smith - George Richey

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

Darling could I just have one moment with you
We're here all alone just us two
Let me try to tell you in a few little words
How my heart feels about you

If there were no rainbow I'd paint one for you
And I'd teach the robin a new song or two
Then I'd fight forever and hand it to you
Oh I wish there was more I could do

You've got me right where you want me
It's true I'm right in the palm of your hand
You've got me right where you want me to be
And I won't be right where I am
[ instrumental ]
You've got me right where you want me to be
And I won't be right where I am
