Memories Made This House

Marie Wilson

Everywhere there's a memory
Mem'ries made this house

The chairs and the table standing in the corner
It seems were always filled
With good food and happy people
Where laughter used to live
I look at the couch through tear filled eyes
At the marks our babies left
Everywhere there's a memory
Mem'ries made this house

This house would die without the heart
We gave it you and I
It came alive as a love inside
Grew stronger as the years went by
The bed's still standing in the same old place
Hasn't changed the way we have
Everywhere there's a memory
Mem'ries made this house
[ instrumental ]
You can tell that love lived here
And that's why we can't leave
The house is silent but we heard it cryin'
When love left you and me
The clothes in the closets all tell different stories
Like the linens on the shelf
Everywhere there's a memory
Mem'ries made this house

Everywhere there's a memory
Mem'ries made this house
Everywhere there's a memory
Mem'ries made this house

Your Mother's Eyes

My children come sit here and hold to daddy's hands
For I must tell you something that I don't understand
Lately we've been living in the shadows of surprise
Since I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes

I can't say it's my fault and I won't say it's hers
Cause I might have neglected when her need for me occurred
But we're still a family and must realize
That I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes

No I'm not the only man in her eyes anymore
And soon she'll be leaving walking out the door

And things won't be easy with her not around
And the shame that's now with us will be hard to live down
So children bear with me promise daddy you'll try
Since I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes
Since I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes

Twelve Long Stem Roses

As I walked through my garden today
Pickin' flowers for a pretty bouquet
There were many shades of blue
White lilies and violets too
But I picked these long stem roses just for you

I'm sending roses twelve long stem roses
Will you not let them wither and die
I've picked them just for you
So I'm sending my love too
I hope these long stem roses cheer you when you cry

I could send just any rose you've had them all before
But somehow in a different way long stem roses mean more

So I'm sending roses twelve long stem roses...
I'm sending roses twelve long stem roses...
I hope these long stem roses cheer you when you cry

On The Way Lord

Juanita Southern

(Lord they're on their way on their way)

Saw a man a angry man
Kill his brother with his own hands
Brother laying the ground
Sinner man you'd better kneel down

He's on his way Lord on his way
On his way Lord on his way
He's on his way Lord on his way
Oh oh Lord he's on his way (on his way)

Saw a girl a pretty girl
Disgusted with her mixed up world
An over-dose of tranquility
Forever ends reality

She's on her way Lord on his way...

Two young boys black and white
Each one thinks his world is right
Fighting for color of skin
They'll never know which one will win

They're on their way Lord on his way...
(Lord they're on their way on their way)

What's The Use In Just Me Trying

Jim Owen

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

I tried so hard to make you love me
And all along your love's been dyin'
I'll let you go because there's nothing I can do
What's the use in just me tryin'

I'd give the world just to hold you
If you could say you love me without lyin'
I know there's no chance for us to ever love again
What's the use in just me tryin'

Goodbye pray God will walk with you
I'll still love you when I lay dyin'
My world will end with the closing of the door
What's the use in just me tryin'
[ instrumental ]
I'd give the world just to hold you...
What's the use in just me tryin'

Heart Over Mind

Mel Tillis

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

I love you so much that I can't leave you
Even though my mind tells me I should
But then you make me think you really want me
Then all my thoughts of leaving do no good

You've got me heart over mind
Worried all the time
Knowing you will always be the same
You'll keep hurting me I know
But I just can't let you go
Cause my heart won't let my love for you change
[ instrumental ]
Now friends tell me they see you out with others
And in my heart I try hard to forget
But you come home and tell me you still love me
And I still hope there's some chance for us yet

You've got me heart over mind...
Cause my heart won't let my love for you change

She'll Be Hanging Round Somewhere

Damon Black

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Pour me hard liquor over soft music
At a table with only one chair
From the first lonely song till the last drop is gone
She'll be hanging round somewhere

She may appear like an angel through a smoky crowd
Or fall in a teardrop I can't hold back now
Pour me hard liquor over soft music
And she'll be hanging round somewhere
[ instrumental ]
She may dance softly in the candle light
Reflecting her old mem'ries ev'rywhere
You may find me glancin' in the sparkling wine
For she'll be hanging round somewhere

Pour me hard liquor over soft music...
She'll be hanging round somewhere

Lingering Memories

Damon Black

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

If mem'ries were gathered like flowers
Each day I would pick a bouquet
To last through these long lonely hours
But mem'ries aren't gathered that way

For mem'ries don't grow like the roses
When kissed by the sunshine and dew
And mem'ries aren't carefully chosen
They bloomed from the love that once grew

There's mem'ries as sweet as the roses
And sad as the violets of blue
But the lingerin' lingerin' mem'ries
Are the mem'ries that I have of you
[ instrumental ]
If mem'ries would wither like flowers
Fall to the earth and decay
Each day I'll pray for the showers
To wash all my mem'ries away

There's mem'ries as sweet as the roses...

But the lingering lingering mem'ries
Are the mem'ries that I have of you

At The Sight Of You

Dave Pittman - Johnny Darren

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

I go all to pieces at the sight of of you

I try to look the other way when you're around
But that takes more strength than can be found
I just get weak as memories pass through
I go all to pieces at the sight of you

How could anyone control me so completely
And make me do the crazy things I do
Little things like forgiving you for being so untrue
I go all to pieces at the sight of of you
[ instrumental ]
You've hurt me so many times that I've lost track
Yet given half the chance I'd take you back
You're the master of my life and there's nothing I can do
I go all to pieces at the sight of of you
I go all to pieces at the sight of of you

Sweet Mary And The Miles In Between

Damon Black

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Standing alone at an old country crossroad
Wonderin' which way will lead me to home
Ever so weary from chasing a dream
And thinkin' of Mary sweet Mary and the miles in between

Crossroads around me tell me you found me
Found me to lead me to the end of my dreams
Three roads would lead me from the one who may need me
But the other to Mary sweet Mary and the miles in between
[ instrumental ]
One lonely night I left out of anger
Drifting and wasting life's precious hours
But only last night I dreamed that a stranger
Is gathering for Mary sweet Mary beautiful flower

Crossroads around me tell me you found me...

The Sweetest Mistake

Rochelle Frazier

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

You're the sweetest mistake I ever made

I've heard it said your life is strewn with broken hearts
Of fools like me who make mistakes and aren't very smart
But I took the chance and threw my life away
For the sweetest mistake I ever made

You're the sweetest mistake I ever made
The price of loving you I'll gladly pay
The decent life I lived before you came I'll gladly trade
For the sweetest mistake I ever made
[ instrumental ]
There's been many times that you have made me cry
But still you took the cold out of my empty lonely life
But the things most people treasure I would give away
For the sweetest mistake I ever made

You're the sweetest mistake I ever made...
You're the sweetest mistake I ever made
