Making Plans

Johnny Russell - Voni Morrison

© Sure-Fire Music, BMI

You say tomorrow you're going
It's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches
Cause you're making plans to leave

The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the teardrops
Cause you're making plans to leave

You're making plans to forget me
I'm making plans to miss you
I'm getting ready to grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome
Cause you're making plans to leave
Cause you're making plans to leave

If You Go I'll Follow You

Porter Wagoner

© Porter Music, BMI

If you go I'll follow you
You can't leave my love behind
If you go I'll follow you
Even death will never end this love of mine

I have loved you for so long
With a love most true and strong
You have all I may request
And I'll love you good or bad

Where you go I'll come with you
No matter where you take me to
I'll go to hell and back again
I'll be with you until the end

If you go I'll follow you
You can't leave my love behind
If you go I'll follow you
Even death will never end this love of mine
If you go I'll follow you

Hide Me Away

Dolly Parton

There is no magic like the magic of love
And nothing can do all things that love does
And when everything is wrong your love makes it right
Oh when darkness surrounds me your love is my life

So hide me away won't you hide me away
In the shelter of your love let me stay
In the safety of your sweet loving arms
Keep me safe oh and hide me hide me away hide me away ooh

Love can bring laughter to a face welled with tears
And love can make sadness and hurt disappear
And your love is my harbor against the storms of life
Oh and my hiding place when I need to hide

So hide me away won't you hide me away
In the shelter of your love let me stay let me stay
In the safety of your sweet loving arms
Keep me safe oh and hide me hide me away

Someone Just Like You

Joe Hudgins

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

I've waited all my life for someone just like you
And now that I've found you there's nothing I can do
Just like so many others who want to be free
It's just a hopeless love affair sweetheart for you and me

I fought my way through grief and tears to make my dreams come true
And now at last they could be real if I could just have you
But I know that it's impossible to start my life anew
But I waited all my life for someone just like you

I've waited all my life for someone just like you
Someone who could love me the way that you do
Your heart could be my very own a heart that could be true
And I've waited all my life for someone just like you

I fought my way through grief and tears to make my dreams come true
And now at last they could be real if I could just have you
But I know that it's impossible to start my life anew
I waited all my life for someone just like you

Little David's Harp

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

Little David was our son born on Christmas day
Blind at birth he never saw the harp his fingers played
The harp that came the day he was born from where we just don't know
A harp like none you've ever seen for it was solid gold

Little David learned to play it at such an early age
No one had to teach him he just learned it right away
And we would stare in disbelief as his hands moved cross the strings
And when he played it seemed to be you could hear the angels sing

He was four then he was five and then he was six years old
And the songs he played on his harp were something to behold
There was something heavenly in the way that David smiled
Little David was so different from the average child

Then there was a storm on Christmas morning and the snow brought such a chill
Little David's seven now lays so quiet and still
His hands reached out to touch his harp as gently he caressed it
The angels came for him that night and on the seventh year he rested

Little David's playing now in God's angel band
He's gone home to Heaven now the way that it was planned
But on his birthday every year which falls on Christmas day
All through the house we hear the harp that little David played

Beneath The Sweet Magnolia Tree

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

A hint of autumn was in the air
Grass was turning a soft shade of brown
Petals were falling from withering flowers
Amber leaves were flowing around

There beneath the sweet magnolia
In each others arms we lay hidden away
Our needs grew stronger as our hearts grew closer
Autumn winds blew and the magnolia swayed

Beneath the sweet magnolia tree
We found love we knew was for keeps
We made love and sweet memories
Beneath the sweet magnolia tree

Through the years we live over and over
The time and the place it started for us
There beneath the sweet magnolia
That long ago autumn when we fell in love

Beneath the sweet magnolia tree...

Touching Memories

Porter Wagoner - Tom Pick

© Porter Music, BMI

If I could reach and touch a memory
The way your memory's touching me

I wish I told you then what I feel now
With these memories locked inside
But I couldn't find the words in time
To save our love from dying

How could love so young grow old so fast
While the memories linger on
And all the things we said when love was warm
Sound so cold now that you're gone

If I could reach and touch a memory
Just the way one's touching me
I could still be holding love
Instead of memories

If I could reach and touch a memory...

Daddy Did His Best

Jerry Chesnut

© Tree Pub, BMI

I remember when my daddy worked all day for just a dollar
And he never saved a penny, but at least the bills were paid
I've never seen a man work half as hard and come home half as tired
Then give the Lord a tenth of all he made

Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
And so many times he's told me this old world is not his home
And he told me he'd been promised he'd receive a fair reward
Daddy did the best he could then left the rest up to the Lord

Now I've never seen a man that had more reason for complaining
But he'd smiled at me explaining how he never walked alone
When they called me to his death bed I remember how my daddy just looked up
And smiled and said I'm going home

Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion...

Since my daddy left this world for one much better
I've been watching people worrying more
Working for the things they can't afford
In a world that's filled with problems
No one's ever found the answers
To the things my daddy left up to the Lord

Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion...

If You Say I Can

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

When my strength is not enough to face the disapointments
When nothing seems to work out like I planned
When I think I've reached the end just stop and reassure me
Cause I can make it if you say I can

If you say I can then I can find the strength to do it
In knowing you believe that much in me
Tell me that I can and give me faith in what I'm doing
I'm only just as strong as you make me
But I can do it if you say I can

When I've reached the point of thinking life's not worth the bother
When I can't seem to give what life demands
When it seems impossible to make it any farther
I can go on if you say I can

If you say I can then I can find the strength to do it...

Singing On The Mountain

Porter Wagoner

© Porter Music, BMI

Up the winding road toward the top of the mountain
I hear singing in the distant far away
And as my steps grow closer I start recognizing voices
Voices that I haven't heard since my childhood days

Oh they're singing on the mountain
Yes they're singing on the mountain
Sounds like angel's voices that I hear
Oh they're singing on the mountain
Yes they're singing on the mountain
Voices ringing out so loud and clear

I can hear my mama and my two older sisters
Singing God Revive Us Once Again
And I hear daddy's voice ringing out across the mountain
Singing Glory Hallelujah Amen

Oh they're singing on the mountain...

I awake from my dreaming
They all have stopped their singing
Then I realize that I am far away
From where I spent my childhood
With all that family singing
But in my dreams I hear them sing and pray

Oh they're singing on the mountain...
Oh they're singing on the mountain...
