Too Many Rivers

Harlan Howard

© Combine Music, BMI

I wish I could come back to you dear
I know that you want me to
But too much waters run under that old bridge
There's too many rivers between me and you

Too many rivers to cross babe
Too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights
I've turned and I've tossed
There's too many rivers to cross

Now don't think for a moment I blame only you
We both killed the fruit on the vine
And when you try to put love together again
There's always a few little pieces you can't find

Too many rivers to cross babe
Too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights
I've turned and I've tossed
Too many rivers to cross

Too many rivers to cross babe...

Cry Softly

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

Cry softly move slowly
Away from the man standing there
Don't let the people around to see
How much he's made you care
They won't understand why you love such a man
Who takes love and gives only tears
Cry cry softly for the man one hundred years

He was the first to make you see
What lovin' a man to woman could be
His love lifted you so high
And then he left you down

Cry softly move slowly...

I Ain't The One

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

with Waylon Jennings

If you're lookin' for someone who's got it all to give
If you lookin' for someone who won't care how you live
If you're lookin' for someone who's only lovin' you
I ain't the one I ain't the one

If you're lookin' for someone to dry your tears when you cry
Lookin' for someone to turn his back each time you lie
Lookin' for someone to walk on then walk by
I ain't the one I ain't the one

I ain't the one to let you do what you want to
I ain' the one who sits still let you be untrue
I ain' t the one who'll go on lovin' you no matter what you do
I ain't the one I ain't the one

Just keep lookin' further down the road
Might find yourself someone who likes walkin' alone
Someone you'll play with and leave dead by the road
I ain't the one I ain't the one
I ain't the one I ain't the one
I ain't the one I ain't the one

It's Not Easy

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

Your love grows colder day by day
We've reached the parting of the way
And I hope you'll never go through what I've been
Inside me a fire is burning
I can't stop my heart from yearning
It's not easy no not easy to forget

Can someone tell me just how long
The pain will stay before it's gone
Will it end tonight or slowly fade away
Will it come back each time I see you
Heaven knows how much I need you
It's not easy no not easy to forget
[ instrumental ]
Can someone tell me just how long...
It's not easy no not easy to forget

He Called Me Baby

Harlan Howard

© Central Songs, BMI

He called me baby baby all night long
Used to hold and kiss me till the dawn
Then one day I woke and he was gone
There's no baby baby all night long

He called me baby baby all night long
Kissed my tears away when things went wrong
What I'd give if he'd just come back home
And call me baby baby all night long
[ instrumental ]
He called me baby baby all night long
He built me up so high and made me strong
Now each night in dreams just like a song
I still hear baby baby all night long
I still hear baby baby all night long
Baby baby all night long

Why You Been Gone So Long

Mickey Newbury

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Ever time it rains Lord I run to my window
All I do is wring my hands and moan
The wolf is scratchin' at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Tell me baby why you been gone so long you been gone so long now
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratchin' at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Someone said they thought they saw you roarin' down in Reno
With a little girl from San Antone
They say I'm a fool to pine for you there ain't what do they know
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Tell me baby why you been gone so long you been gone so long now...

Nothin' I wanna do oh I guess I could get stoned
And let that past paint pictures on my head
I could kill a fifth of Thunderbirds write myself a sad song
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Tell me baby why you been gone so long you been gone so long now...
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

If She's Where You Like Livin'

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

If she's where you like livin'
You won't feel at home with me

He tells you lies lookin' into your eyes
She laughs but you don't see
She knows just how to make you back
And you fall down on your knees
How could such a man like you be crushed in he hands
I don't believe I see
But if she's where you like livin'
You won't feel at home with me

How come a man like you could plainly see
When it comes to loving you she's so different from me
Oh I tell no lies look into my eyes
Love is all you see
Oh I don't know how to make you bow
And I never let you to get down on your knees
I don't know how take how keep such a man
Ah standin' tall above me
But if she's where you like livin'
You won't feel at home with me

Oh if she's where you like livin'
You won't feel at home with me

The Healing Hands Of Time

Willie Nelson

© Pamper Music, BMI

They're working while I'm missing you
Those healing hands of time
Soon they'll be dismissing you
From this heart of mine
They'll lead me safely through the night
And I'll follow as though blind
My future tightly clutched within
Those healing hands of time
[ instrumental ]
They let me close my eyes just then
Those healing hands of time
And soon I'll learn to sleep again
Those healing hands of time
Already I've reached mountain top
And I've just just begun my climb
I'll get over you by clinging to
Those healing hands of time

I'll get over you by clinging to
Those healing hands of time

That's The Chance I'll Have To Take

Waylon Jennings

© Tree Pub, BMI

Troubles and a worried mind
It seems that's all I've ever known
But I will leave it all behind
If you will just leave me alone

And if I go on loving you
If to leave is a mistake
If I am wrong what I do
That's just the chance I'll have to take
[ instrumental ]
Don't bother now to waste the time
Saying those things you've said before
I've heard it all a hundred times
And I won't listen anymore

Oh if I go on loving you...

It's All Over Now

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

When I was lovin' you I gave all I had to give
You took that love I gave you took my will to live
You didn't want me then babe what brings you back in now
I hear you talkin' but just keep walkin' it's all over now

You should have seen this is just how it could be
If you kept your walkin' then you did all over me
You might have been kind you might have say that all somehow
I hear you talkin' but just keep walkin' it's all over now

How does it feel to be on the other side
Drop down to your knees sneak out of your pride
What you should remember how you kept me there so long
I hear you talkin' but just keep walkin' it's all over now

Maybe the next you'll know what you're lookin' for
Maybe you can give her all she needs and more
You didn't have the love I needed I don't need it now
I hear you talkin' but just keep walkin' it's all over now
