(Say forever you'll be mine)

Forever is the love that is filled with understanding
Forever is the love that is true and undemanding
Forever is the love that can stand the test of time
Forever I am yours say forever you'll be mine

Troubled cloud may fill our sky it might even rain awhile
But the rain will go away there's always a brighter day
Darling I won't promise you that we'll be happy all the time
But forever I am yours say forever you'll be mine

(Forever I am yours)
Say forever you'll be mine
Forever I am yours
And I'll do anything that you ever ask me to
And I'll do what you want me to

Darling I won't promise you that we'll be happy all the time
But forever I am yours say forever you'll be mine

Something To Reach For

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

Last night in the arms of a stranger
I tried losing your memory
But she was just something to reach out for
When I'm needing my arms around you

Each time I'm with him only tells me
Just how much I really love you
Oh and he is just something to reach out for
When I'm needing my arms around you

Constantly reaching for something to lean on
Someone to comfort me since I've lost you
Reaching for something but knowing that nothing
Or no one could ever get me over you
[ instrumental ]
I just need something to reach out for
When I'm needing my arms around you

Again

Porter Wagoner

We've been through hell again
Now we're back in heaven again
We've been through all of this again and again
But all is forgiven again

Again I've hurt you again
And again I forgive you again
I promise to love you forever again
Again again

(Again)
We feel the closeness of our love
(Again)
Wrapped up in the arms of our love
(Again)

It feels so good to be so close again
Again again

We'll go through hell again
Till we're back in heaven again
We've been through all of this again and again
But all is forgiven again
Again

Our Love

Al Gore - Frank Dycus

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

There's no love as sure as our love

There's nothing as complete as our love
And nothing as sweet as our love
Just being together that's all we're thinking of
There's no love can replace our love

There's no love as pure as our love
There's no love as sure as our love
And no love is as strong as our love
Oh our love
No love will last as long as our love
[ instrumental ]
There's no love as pure as our love...
Our love our love our love
Our love

The Beginning

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

At the beginning there was love and we thought it was enough
We saw no farther than each other's arms
And though the roof leaked o'er our heads just a blanket for our bed
But then we had our love to keep us warm

But the winter winds blew cold our new love was growing old
And our worlds were filled with anger and regret
Our bills were more than we could pay and we both longed for the days
Of the freedom that we knew before we wed

But there was something greater still than all our fights and monthly bills
The knowledge of a child well on its way
And though we both longed to be free we talked it over and both we agreed
That we'd wait till baby came to separate

Then at last the day arrived and the tears filled both our eyes
As we held our newborn baby in our arms
And all the love we thought was gone lived again three times as strong
It's not the end it's the beginning of our home
It's not the end it's the beginning of our home

I Have No Right To Care

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

I go on caring even though I have no right to care

I have no right to care for you to care about the things you do
Or who you give your lovin' to I have no right to care

No right to care no right to share this love of mine with you
No right to want your love and envy those you give it to

Knowing that I have no right don't stop this strong desire
I go on caring even though I have no right to care
[ instrumental ]
I have no right to long for you for I belong to someone who
I've promised my love and life to I have no right to care

No right to care no right to share this love of mine with you...
Knowing that I have no right don't stop this strong desire...
No right to care

If You Were Mine

Randy Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

I would go through hell and high waters
For you any ol' time
And I would put my life on the line
Just to know that you were mine

If you were mine if you were mine
I wouldn't need no other
If you were mine and if you were mine
I would be blind to all others
And it would make me so proud
To take you with me out in a crowd
No one could be so blind
They couldn't see that you were mine
[ instrumental ]
Oh I love you so much I tremble at your touch
Oh and I'd love you so much if you were just mine
I've needed you so long this just can't go on
Please let me take you home with me and be mine

If you were mine if you were mine...
If you were mine

Love To See Us Through

Al Gore - Frank Dycus

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

Well the house that we live in is mortgaged at the bank
And this old rundown car we drive has an empty tank
And the clothes that we're wearin' they're far from bein' new
But we're gonna make it we got love to see us through

Now we don't care if it rains or snows
We've got the kinda love that grows and grows and grows and grows and grows
And I don't care as long as I got you and I got you
We're gonna make it we got love to see us through
[ instrumental ]
And the plant where I worked last week things got kinda slow
And the boss called me in and said he'd have to let me go
And we ain't got many groceries but we'll have to make 'em do
Yes we're gonna make it we got love to see us through

Now we don't care if it rains or snows...
Yes we're gonna make it we got love to see us through

How Can I (Help You Forgive Me)

Porter Wagoner - Tom Pick

© Porter Music, BMI

As morning breaks and I awake my eyes open wide
To see the sunlight melting all the dreams I had last night
A mem'ry flashes through the cobwebs of my tangled mind
In search the clues for what to do to leave the past behind

How can I help you forgive me
How can I ever forget you
Wild thoughts of you run through my mind
Like rivers to the sea
How can I help you forgive me

Darkness falls and lonely calls and I'm alone again
Wishing I could turn around and see you walkin' in
Then I lay me down to weep and wonder what to do
To let you now I love you so I never meant to hurt you

How can I help you forgive me...
How can I help you forgive me...

Life Rides The Train

Porter Wagoner

© Porter Music, BMI

Time waits for no one time never will
But moments of happiness can make time seem still
Oh but time moves on swiftly it passes like fire
So while life rides the train time always flies

Life rides the train for some it moves slow
Some never find whether train of life will go
If it's bound to hell or to heaven on high
While life rides the train life always flies
[ instrumental ]
As life rides the train some get off the track
For one careless moment but never get back
Until it's much too late and time has passed 'em by
So while life rides the train time always flies

Life rides the train for some it moves slow...
