Sad Situation

Clyde Pitts - Billy Deaton

© Window Music, BMI

Well I've known some sad situations before
And I've faced a lot of temptations before
Yes I've known others like you with a heart made of stone
And by now I guess I should be used to living alone

It's a sad situation
Not just because I'm so blue
It's a sad situation
Cause I'm still loving you
[ instrumental ]
I never thought I'd be feeling like this
Living old mem'ries of your tender kiss
You're not the first one that I thought my heart wanted so
But you'll be the first one to take part of me when you go

It's a sad situation...

I Fall To Pieces

Harlan Howard - Hank Cochran

© Pamper Music, 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 kissed
You want me to forget pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
[ instrumental ]
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame

You tell 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 on by and I fall to pieces

Stay As Sweet As You Are

Bob Arthur - Tracy Nelson

© Rose Hips Music, ASCAP

It’s time for me to go, even though I love you so
I couldn’t stay here any longer cos I know I’ve had my share
You lie here sleeping unaware and I'm sure you wouldn't care
If you knew what I am thinking still I offer up this prayer

Stay as sweet as you are now
It’s very easy if you try
You’ll have to want to learn how
Just stay as sweet as you are now
[ instrumental ]
Stay as sweet as you are now...

I awaken with the day and that's the price I had to pay
For once sweet night close to you now you're so near yet far away
Most of the time you caused me pain and you should really be ashamed
The way you treat the ones who love you be your sweet sweet self again

Stay as sweet as you are now...

Stand By Your Man

Billy Sherrill - Tammy Wynette

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times and he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand

But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him be proud of him
Cause after all he's just a man

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

Blue Blue Day

Don Gibson

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

It's been a blue blue day I feel like runnin' away
I feel like runnin' away from it all
My love has been untrue he's found somebody new
It's been a blue blue day for me

I feel like cryin' dyin' what can I do
I feel like prayin' sayin' I'm glad we're through
It's been a blue blue day I feel like runnin' away
I feel like runnin' away from the blues
[ instrumental ]
How can I make believe that I don't sit and grieve
It's been a blue blue day for me
I can't pretend and say that I don't love him anyway
It's been a blue blue day for me

It's been a bluе blue day I feel like runnin' away
I feel like runnin' away from the blues
I feel like runnin' away from the blues

I Can't Go On Loving You

Hank Mills

© Moss-Rose Pub, BMI

I thought I could but I can't go on loving you
It hurts too much knowing you stopped loving me
Don't ask me who's to blame or why I know it's true
I only know I can't go on loving you

Slowly but surely our love became a mem'ry
And heaven knows I can't live on memories
Don't ask me where I'm going or just what I'll do
I only know I can't go on loving you
[ instrumental ]
Slowly but surely our love became a mem'ry...

You're Still My Baby

Chuck Willis

© Chuck Willis Music, BMI

You're gone away left me alone yes you did
I ain't got nobody to call my own
Bye bye baby like your way surely oh yeah
You're still my baby still my baby

You may be miles away
And you may be still in time
But oh all I wanna know
Is what did I do what did you put me down

Lord have mercy my heart's in pain yes it is
I always play the losing game
Bye bye baby like your way surely oh yeah
You're still my baby you're still my baby
[ instrumental ]
Lord have mercy my heart's in pain yes it is...

Now You're Gone

Boz Scaggs

© Boz Scaggs Music, BMI

Lying there beside you in the dark I could not see
Past the light you had set there for me
Oh the night it had it's meaning and the flame it shook your room
From the walls to the beating of my heart

But now you're gone and I won't worry anymore
Yes now you're gone and I won't worry anymore

Oh your sighs screamed with loneliness
And your eyes traced broken dreams
And your touch held a warning of goodbye
Yes many's the times I've reached for you
And more's the times I've failеd
I'm the reason I'm the cause of it all

Cause now you're gone and I won't worry anymore
Yes now you're gone and I can't worry anymore
[ instrumental ]
Why you begged me must we stay here but to wait a bitter end
Than the silence this dimming light foretells
Why the future why the past why this moment of cold retreat
How do I know there's no relief that you can bring

And I was lost I could not answer Lord I could not shed a tear
To the ghost of a love that might have been
I can see them all just coming and I know that they're all gone
As you're near me I won't worry anymore

Yes now it's gone and I won't worry anymore
Yes now it's gone and I can't worry anymore

Why Why Why

Dolly Parton - Bill Owens

© Combine Music, BMI

Why why why did you say goodbye
Why did you walk out on me
Cry cry cry I feel like I could die
Why did you go and leave me lonely

What did I do what did I say
To make you just walk out and leave me this way
Please come back and tell me what I did wrong
I'll make it up to you if you'll just come back home
[ instrumental ]
What did I do what did I say
Made you just walk out and leave me this way
Please come back and tell me what I did wrong
I'll make it up to you if you'll just come back home

Try try try as each day goes by
Make you glad that you came back to me
No more goodbyes and no more tears to cry
Everyday I'll try to make you happy
Everyday I'll try to make you happy

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Hank Williams

© Fred Rose Music, BMI

You hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is moaning low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so long
The hours go crawling by
The moon just went behind the cloud
To hide his head and cry
[ instrumental ]
Have you ever heard a robin sob
When leaves began to die
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up the purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
