Happy Tears

Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

It's a gonna be rainin' big ole sparkin' tears of happiness
Cause the wind of love just blew away my loneliness
The love I found is gonna be loved to emptiness
It's gonna be rainin' big ole happy tears

Memories and cares of yesterday are gone
Ever since the day I found my heart a home
Lovin' arms have shut out all my doubts and fears
So when I cry then I'll cry happy tears

It's a gonna be rainin' big ole sparkin' tears of happiness...
[ instrumental ]
There won't be no lonely heart for me no more
From now on the blues are locked outside my door
I loved him until the endin' of my years
So when I cry then I'll cry happy tears

It's a gonna be rainin' big ole sparkin' tears of happiness...
It's a gonna be rainin' big ole happy tears

He Stayed Away

Earl Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

(He stayed away as long as he could)

I won't tell you my name for I know we're not friends
But I have good news for you he'll soon be yours once again
He'll always stay with you long as you treat him half way good
He's on his way back to you he stayed away long as he could

Don't tell him when he arrives a stranger rang your phone today
Although you know what I've just said let him surprise you anyway
But it's no surprise to me I felt it all along he would
He's on his way back to you he stayed away long as he could

He stayed away with me for he had to see
If you loved him and that is why
He stayed away from you now he knows you do
Love him but so do I
I'll hang up the telephone I wish you both nothin' but good
He's on his way back to you he stayed away long as he could

(He's on his way back to you)
He stayed away long as he could

I'll Give A Lot Of Lovin' To You

Earl Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

Don't be afraid to let these arms of mine carress you
We're in the same shape I can tell
Don't ever think I'd try to take revenge out on you
Over some crazy fall I once felt
You said she left you like you left me with a broken heart
To remedy that I know what we can do
If you'll give just a little bit of lovin' to me
I'll give a lot of lovin' to you

Don't be ashamed to talk about the wrong you have done
For in my life I've made two or three
So just relax and have a little faith in us honey
And from now on good things will be
You say you loved her like I loved him some time ago
But those kinda people won't do
If you'll give just a little bit of lovin' to me
I'll give a lot of lovin' to you

I'll give a lot of lovin' to you and try to mend your broken heart
If you'll give a little lovin' to me then honey it's time we start
Oh you say you want me like I want you ever night and day
Well honey here's all we gotta do
If you'll give just a little bit of lovin' to me
I'll give a lot of lovin' to you
[ instrumental ]
I'll give a lot of lovin' to you and try to mend your broken heart...
Yeah I'll give a lot of lovin' to you

He's Out There Lonely

Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

As I sit here and stare out through my window
Into the night I see the streetlights there
Then I prepare for one more night of cryin'
Cause I know he's out there with her somewhere

Soon the break of dawn will bring him back to me
He still comes home but he no longer cares
I brush my tears away with trembling fingers
Cause I know he's out there with her somewhere
[ instrumental ]
Soon the break of dawn will bring him back to me...

Don't Let Me Wake Up Lonely

Earl Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

Could my mind be the creator of your presence
Do I see things the world cannot see
Could you be real only at times
Could we be just another dream of mine
Tell me no don't let me wake up lonely

Could my mind have too much of imagination
Do I only imagine that you're holdin' me
Could I be dreaming how good it feels
You say you love me and you love me still
Tell me no don't let me wake up lonely
[ instrumental ]
Could you be real only at times
Could we be just another dream of mine
Tell me no don't let me wake up lonely

My Man Happy

Earl Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

My man happy makes me happy too
For happy's love for me is always true
My man happy's always by my side
A makin' sure I'm always satisfied

When the chips were down and I was feelin' blue
Then along came happy wanting you know who
to share with him his private little cloud called 9
Together right here on it that's where we both stay happy all the time

My man happy's a real life comic book
Oh I fell for him without a second look
My man happy can't sing a melody
But his heart is always singing just for me

Once the world and all my friends brushed me aside
But to my rescue the world saw happy ride
Please don't misunderstand me I'm not sayin' he's a clown
For with his arms around me that ole bright sun just keeps on shinin' down
[ instrumental ]
Once the world and all my friends brushed me aside...
Yeah with his arms around me that ole bright sun just keeps on shinin' dow

The Day I Doubted You

Dallas Frazier - Alvis Owens

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I believed you'd be forever true
The skies were always crystal blue
I loved you as no one else could do
Until the day I doubted you

Slowly I saw you steal away from me
Into the arms of someone new
I loved you with every breath I drew
Until the day I doubted you
[ instrumental ]
Slowly I saw you steal away from me...

My Room Is Like A River

Earl Montgomery - Jesse Thompson

© Glad Music, BMI

My room is like a river forty miles wide
It's filled with the teardrops I could not hide
It's early and my mem'ries stay ever since he went away
my room is like a river forty miles wide

My room used to be a normal room with carpet on the floor from wall to wall
But that was a long time ago before teardrops began to fall
Now it's like a raging river you wouldn't attempt to cross
Have closed through part of the house where I once loved and lost

My room is like a river forty miles wide...
[ instrumental ]
It's early and my mem'ries stay ever since he went away
My room is like a river forty miles wide

There's No Need To Do It

Earl Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

I would laugh because you're leavin'
Show a smile instead of grievin'
And say to you the door is open wide
Lie about my life this minute
Say I'm proud you won't be in it
But my face shows all the truth I tried to hide

And there's no need to do it
It told the truth
There's no need to do it
So what's the use
For me to make believe
It's a funny thing to see you out the way
But my face won't let me lie to you today
[ instrumental ]
I would say my heart can take it
And someone like you can't break it
If one look at me could prove I'm made of stone
I would say I can't remember
That to you my heart surrendered
If I control the face the frown is on

But there's no need to do it...

Love Is Where The Heart Is

Melba Montgomery - Earl Montgomery - Bill Hayes

© Glad Music, BMI

The words came from your mind without true meaning
From the finish all way back to the start
And now I know it's best that I stop dreaming
For love is where the heart is and you've got no heart

You won't stop someone who can't get over losin'
To spite hurt you found me to play the part
And now I know I'm just someone you've been usin'
For love is where the heart is and you've got no heart

Love is where the heart is and there's none within yourself
You have no heart for me if you're not fair with someone else
All this love I have for you could never change you
For love is where the heart is and you've got no heart
[ instrumental ]
All this love I have for you could never change you
For love is where the heart is and you've got no heart

Big Tears Are Comin'

Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens - Buddy Mize

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I feel big tears a comin'
The rivers will be over runnin'
My baby's up and gone there's a flood comin' on
Cause big tears are comin'
I feel big tears a comin'

Everything started out jumpin'
Then my jumpin' little world fell down
Cause he left a letter sayin' he'd do better
Swingin' in a more jumpin' town

I feel big tears a comin'...
[ instrumental ]
I'm gonna have to take up cryin'
To wash him outta my mind
That fancy go getter when and left me in a flitter
Get ready for my cryin' time

I feel big tears a comin'...
[ instrumental ]
I feel big tears a comin'...
