Heart Healer

John Greenebaum - Thomas Gmeiner

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Well I fell to sweet temptation
A victim of the devils vow
And most of my dreams got lost in the bargain
I could use a little comfort now

When I get love life's inspiration
It just knocks me flat on my face
You came along to pick me up
And I'm looking for more than a taste

I need a sweetheart healer like you
It's been a long time overdue
I looked around and around and around and around
For a sweetheart healer like you

Now my friends and close relations
Say I ought to take it slow
But I can't subdue what I'm feeling for you
And it's time to let it show

There's no need for moderation
Now I think it's plain to see
I got the desire to unlock the chains
And I'm handing you the key

I need a sweetheart healer like you...
[ instrumental ]
I need a sweetheart healer like you...
I need a sweetheart healer like you...

Wedding Bells

Claude Boone

I have the invitation that you sent me
You wanted me to see you change your name
I couldn't stand to see you wed another
But still I hope you're happy just the same

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing now for you and me
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
Those wedding bells will never ring for me

I planned a little cottage in the valley
I even bought a little band of gold
I thought someday I'll place it on your finger
But now the future looks so dark and cold

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
I hear the children laughin' now with glee
At home alone I hang my head in sorrow
Wedding bells will never ring for me
[ instrumental ]
I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
While the organ plays I Love You Truly
Please let me pretend that I am there

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
Ever since the day you set me free
I knew some day that you would wed another
But wedding bells will never ring for me
Wedding bells will never ring for me

Play It Again Sam

Charles Wadley

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

I was born and raised in the south
Without a silver spoon in my mouth
Girl I had to scratch and fight
Every step of the way and I love you babe

I'm gonna stay I'm not leaving you
After all it's my baby too yes times are rough I know
Like an old picture show we're gonna smile and say
Play it again Sam play it again Sam

I cannot promise you there won't be any hard times
Yes I know there'll be times that will try your very soul
But this love will carry us through
That lives and grows there inside of you and we'll look back someday
When we get old and gray we're gonna smile and say
Play it again Sam play it again Sam

I give you love and I'll give you my name
Spread my hand when you're feeling the pain I'll always be with you
When trouble comes our way we're gonna smile and say
Play it again Sam play it again Sam

I cannot promise you there won't be any hard times...

Someone Else Tends The Garden

Tommy Collins

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

She's the mother of my children
Some flowers I planted long ago
Now someone else tends the garden
A pleasure he has no right to know

And I tried my best to be the keeper
But the garden was taken from my care
And I hate my mind for taking pictures
Cause it's almost just like being there

Someone else tends the garden
The one the Holy Bible says is mine
But for now he'll only be the keeper
Cause I'll have my garden back in time
Yes Lord

Someone else tends the garden
The one the Holy Bible says is mine
But for now he'll only be the keeper
Cause I'll have my garden back in time
Thank you Lord

Someone else tends the garden...

The Mornin' After Baby Let Me Down

Ray Griff

© Blue Echo Music, ASCAP

The alarm clock woke my sleeping but I lay there for a minute
With a million cobwebs clinging to my brain
I stopped that bell from ringing in the time it takes a heartbeat
Then I settled back and closed my eyes again

I reached out for my baby for some early mornin' loving
And then the truth came staggering through my head
There was nothing but the fragrance of her perfume on the pillow
Baby wasn't there beside me in the bed

It's the morning after baby let me down
It's the daybreak and a heartbreak that I found
Only silence to torment me no soft hand to touch me gently
It's the morning after baby let me down

There was nothing to hold on to but the sheets that fell around me
And I started then to trembling like a leaf
How could that woman leave me she was more than just a lover
She was every bit a lady warm and sweet

I can taste these salty teardrops and it's gettin' hard to swallow
Hope a glass of bourbon takes the lump away
Got no appetite for eatin' just a sick and empty feeling
What a good for nothing way to start the day

It's the morning after baby let me down...
It's the morning after baby let me down...

Burning Memories

Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Tonight I'm burning old love letters
Photographs and memories of you
Hoping somehow I'll feel better
And when the smoke is gone I won't want you

(Burning mem'ries) teardrops fall while I am
(Burning mem'ries) burning all the memories of you that I can't lose

My heart to you no longer matters
And I can't live on memories
Into the fire those dreams you've shattered
And when the smoke is gone then I'll be free

(Burning mem'ries) teardrops fall while I am...
(Burning mem'ries) teardrops fall while I am...
(Burning mem'ries) teardrops fall while I am...

Everyone Needs Someone

Buddy Cannon - Gene Dunlap

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

Everyone needs someone to talk to
Everyone needs someone to love
Happy is the man who can reach out his hand
And touch somebody he loves

We vow when trouble arises
Work our fingers to the bone
But what is it worth of God’s green earth
If love were to leave us alone

Everyone needs someone to talk to...
[ instrumental ]
Love is a word without meaning
To those who never find their own
Makes life worth the livin' and love worth the givin'
The years as sweet as the song

Everyone needs someone to talk to...
Everyone needs someone to talk to...
Everyone needs someone to talk to...

It's Just Not That Easy To Say

Buddy Cannon - Gene Dunlap - Billy Williams

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

I thought about leaving and calling long distance
But that would be taking the easy way
So here I am sittin' with my hands on our table
Rakin' my mind for the right things to say

How can I tell you that I am unhappy
And I need to try a new way
I know in my mind we're wasting our time
But it's just not that easy to say

It took all of last night and a bottle of whiskey
For me to decide what to do
And I'm sittin' here watching you looking uneasy
But sometimes what's best is the hardest to do

How can I tell you that I am unhappy...
But it's just not that easy to say
