Another Lonely Song

Billy Sherrill - Norro Wilson - Tammy Wynette

© Algee Music, BMI

Time won't ease my memory it's killing me now
And Lord how I need him here just to feel him near and hear him breathing
Still the night goes on and on another lonely song I'm singing
Lord don't think bad of me don't get mad at me you know I'm weak

And it couldn't cause a whole lot of harm to be in somebody's arms
Cause she's in his I know she is I know she is but God I love him

And though I shouldn't give a damn that's the way I am now
And Lord guess I'll stay this way I can't play this way just because I'm lonely
Still the night goes on and on another lonely song I'm singing
Lord don't look down on me don't frown on me let's just keep talking
[ instrumental ]
Another lonely song I'm singing

Crying Steel Guitar

Billy Sherrill - Carmol Taylor - Agnes Wilson

© Algee Music, BMI

I'm not surprised to find you here in this old dim lit world
I'll bet you've held a thousand poor broken hearted girls
You sound so sad you must have had your share of misery
But you're just a crying steel guitar so cry again for me

Cause while you're crying his mem'ry's dying
There's a special kind of sigh in the lonely way you cry
You express my feelings and my tears no one will see
So let you cold blue lonely strings cry once again for me

I'll be here at this table again tomorrow night
Each time that I'm close to you I know I'll be all right
I loved him more than anything but it's over I can see
If you don't mind please steel guitar cry much again for me

Cause while you're crying his mem'ry's dying...

What My Thoughts Do All The Time

Jeanne Pruett

© Jeanne Pruett Music, BMI

There's that look upon your face every time I look your way
It's said let's slip away and meet some place
Wanting you the way I do if my conscience don't show through
I'll soon be doing what my thoughts do all the time

I guess I've always known tonight just had to come
You've always had some kind of hold on me
There's one thing I know that's true if you want me I gotta want you
I'll soon be doing what my thoughts do all the time

I'll soon be nestled so close to you
Thrilling knowing baby how much you want me to
If desire takes full control of my body and my soul
I'll soon be doing what my thoughts do all the time
I'll soon be doing what my thoughts do all the time

Stayin' Home Woman

Earl Montgomery

© Altam Music, BMI

I spend the half the day cookin'
But I wind up havin' dinner all alone
Because he stopped off with some friends to see
Just how much they could drink on their way home
By the time he makes it home the food is just about as cold as I am
And his stayin' home woman is gettin' tired of her stayin' out man

He oughta be a Texas rancher
Cause he sure spreads a lotta bull around
Tellin' how he won the war he made
The others finally lay all their weapons down
But there won't be a big parade tonight
When a hero comes marchin' home again
And his stayin' home woman's gettin' tired of her stayin' out man

He's the type of man that likes to brag
And boast about what little that he's done
While he's drinkin'
While he's out with ole friends laughin' it up and havin' fun
What is he thinkin'
I know that another woman ain't about to ever cross his mind
Cause when it comes to lovin' he's comin' home to mine

Well the lawn sure needs a cuttin'
And the hedges need to be trimed by the walk
But each time I mention work to him
He gives me dirty looks and double talk
It's a shame to know the one you love
Won't hardly even lend a helpin' hand
And his stayin' home woman's gettin' tired of her stayin' out man
And his stayin' home woman's gettin' tired of her stayin' out man

Satin Sheets

John Volinkaty

© Champion Music, BMI

Satin sheets to lie on satin pillows to cry on
Still I'm not happy don't you see
Big long Cadillac tailor mades upon my back
Still I want you to set me free

I found another man who can give more than you can
Though you've given me everything money can buy
But your money can't hold me tight like he does on a long long night
You know you didn't keep me satisfied

Satin sheets to lie on on satin pillows to cry on...
Satin sheets to lie on on satin pillows to cry on...

Homecoming

Billy Sherrill - Norro Wilson

© Algee Music, BMI

There's gonna be a homecoming
There's gonna be a lotta good times from now on
It's been a long time coming too long coming
And I just can't wait to get him all alone
Then I'll tell my baby welcome home

Kids get up and wash your faces
Comb your hair put on your Sunday smile
Cause late last night I talked to your daddy
And he's gonna be driving up in a little while

Let's all be sure make him welcome
Don't forget to make him feel at home
Love him all you can till after dinner
Cause mama's gonna love him all night long

There's gonna be a homecoming
There's gonna be a lotta good times from now on
It's been a long time coming too long coming
It should be hard to break up but it's gonna feel good to make up
And I just can't wait to get him all alone
Then I'll tell my baby welcome home
There's gonna be a homecoming

Help Me Make It Through The Night

Kris Kristofferson

© Combine Music, BMI

Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Laying soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care who's right or wrong
I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night
[ instrumental ]
I it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night

Keep Me In Mind

Glenn Sutton - George Richey

© Flagship Music, BMI

When everything right seems to go wrong
Your heart waits to sing but it can't find a song
When it seems that the world has left you behind
Keep me in mind

When you think that life is just passing you by
You look but you can't find a reason to try
When it seems that a friend is so hard to find
Keep me in mind

Keep me in mind cause I'll never stop loving you
And as long as I live I'll have love to give
And I'll give it all to you just you

When the dreams that you've chased have all gotten away
And you stand at the end of a long lonely day
You'll never be far from these arms of mine
Keep me in

When the dreams that you've chased have all gotten away...
Keep me in mind

Oh How I Miss Him

Norro Wilson - Carmol Taylor - Emily Mitchell

© Algee Music, BMI

Through the dark and lonely night waitin' for the morning light
Oh how I miss him
This cold and empty bed it's a feeling that I dread
Oh how I miss him

There's a burning deep inside only he can satisfy
But he's not here with me
Two other arms hold him two other lips kiss him
Oh how I miss him

Is it just imagination or should I trust my man
So until I know for certain I'll give him all the love I can
But when he comes to me and love me he sets my heart at ease
But until then oh how I miss him oh how I miss him

With Child

Earl Montgomery - Janette Tidwell

© Glad Music, BMI

I'll try to write this letter dear the best I can
Although I haven't heard from you in quite a while
I'm doing just fine no complications at this time
For you'd like to know that I'm with child

I'll send this letter to the last address you gave
Hoping that the news you heard will make you smile
There's a list of names enclosed hope you'll like the one I chosed
Don't be afraid to know that I'm with child

Our friends came by last night and gave me shower
The tiny clothes were all the lady style
These beauties you should see oh they're fit into a T
Our friends were proud to know that I'm with child

My prayer is that you'll soon be home and that this child in me is strong
I'm lonely but I'm proud to be with child

One Final Stand

Norro Wilson - Carmol Taylor - George Richey

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

The love that I used to see whenever you looked at me just ain't showing
I can tell something's wrong and I know before long you'll be going
And baby your tender touch the one that I loved so much is not there anymore
Oh I wish we could find what we had one time and love like before

If it's a matter of pride then let's push it aside and get together
And if I'd give to you love like you want me to will it matter
There's so much love in my heart like this been from the start
And it's always begged for you
How make one final try if it don't work for you and I then I'll say goodbye

Yes I'll make one final stand to hold more than I can to the one I've loved so long
I'll make one final stand with my heart and my hand cause I love you right or wrong
But if you choosed to go then I'll want you to know I've done everything I can
Though my life may be hell still I wish you well I've made one final stand
