Being Together

Melba Montgomery - Earl Montgomery

Being together as two friends
Is all our love has ever been
Now even our friendship has gone
When we're together we're all alone

Being together to forget
The ones we loved before we met
But now their mem'ries linger on
When we're together we're all alone

Being together all this time
With someone else on our mind
For them our love grew stronger as time went on
When we're together we're all alone

Being together all these years
We'll end now without any tears
This is what we agree upon
When we're together we're all alone

If I Were

If I were your friend then I wouldn't be very blue
Cause sometimes you would have me around you
If I were a smile I could feel your lips so warm
If I were your love then would I be in your arms

If I were a prayer you say before you go to sleep tight
Then I know I'd be in your mind tonight
If I were a song the words you sing would tell of me
If I were your love then I wouldn't be lonely

Wishful thinking in a world of fantasy
Yes someone you just forgot
And you’re only mine in make believe
For I can be something that I'm not

If I were your future your love for me would always last
If I were your love then I wouldn't be just your past
If I were your love then I wouldn't be just your past
No if I were your love then I wouldn't be just your past

We Haven't Tried

Melba Montgomery - Earl Montgomery

(And the reason we're not in love today is because we haven't tried)

You haven't really been tryin' to make her stay away
You haven't been giving me love like you should every day
We haven't been true to each other we told too many lies
And the reason we're not in love today is because we haven't tried

You haven't really been tryin' to tell me you're sorry
You haven't even tried to apologize to me
We haven't confessed to each other for we've got too much pride
And the reason we're not in love today is because we haven't tried

We haven't tried to be true
I've done wrong
I have too
Let's try it again now is the time to begin

Once more we're together like always
Giving life to love that died
So if we should lose in love again
We can say we haven't tried
[ instrumental ]
Once more we're together like always...

This Precious Love

No one could ever steal the joy that we both feel
Worth more than tons of gold this precious love we know
Through stormy wind and rain our feelings still won't change
No words have ever told this precious love we know

A sweeter someone the world could never find
Our love will be until the end of time
In each and every day our love is here to stay
It can't be bought or sold this precious love we know
[ instrumental ]
A sweeter someone the world could never find...

There's Gonna Be More Loving

Melba Montgomery - Earl Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

I'm gonna write you a letter beggin' you to come home today
Yeah and I'll answer right back and say there's gonna be some changes made
We got to build back the dreams we both been tearin' down
Gonna be more lovin' and a lot less runnin' around

This year's resolution is to stop my honky tonk ways
Oh keep talkin' to me honey I can already see better days
We’ll build a little cottage in the country far away from town
Gonna be more lovin' and a lot less runnin' around

Together night and day
Together that's the only way

I can see us now with a baby on each knee
Well it's about time we settle down and raised our family
And now it's time to end our ups and downs
Gonna be more lovin' and a lot less runnin' around
[ instrumental ]
Together night and day
Together that's the only way

I can see us now with a baby on each knee...

Don't Put An End To Me

Melba Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

I feel you're tryin' to drive me away from you
For there's been a change in everything you say and do
Tell me love that I’m just thinkin' wrong put me at ease
Don't rush don’t hurt don't put an end to me

Don't put an end to me and all my happiness
You're what I want and need to share life with
Please tell me what I accuse you of can't really be
Don't rush don't hurt don't put an end to me
[ instrumental ]
I feel the ending is as near as your goodbye
And I see a gleam of love for her deep in your eyes
If you say I'm right you're wanting me to set you free
You'll rush you'll hurt and put an end to me

Don't put an end to me and all my happiness...

Baby Ain't That Fine

Dallas Frazier

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

I'm gonna be your baby and I'm gonna be your guy
We're gonna cook some lovin' it's gonna sizzle and fry
Baby ain't that fine baby ain't that fine

I'm gonna give you lovin' and I'll say take your time
We'll be rockin' and swingin' higher than a Georgia pine
Baby ain't that fine baby ain't that fine

I get a little bitty tingle up and down my spine
My head gets dizzy every time you say you're mine

The birds are gonna be singin' the bells are gonna chime
We're gonna love each other and the sun is gonna shine
Baby ain't that fine baby ain't that fine

A doodle doodle do doodle doodle do
A doodle doodle do doodle doodle do

I get a little bitty tingle up and down my spine
My head gets dizzy every time you say you're mine

The birds are gonna be singin' the bells are gonna chime...

Baby ain't that fine baby ain't that fine
Baby ain't that fine baby ain't that fine

I'm Looking For The Man

Melba Montgomery - Earl Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

I'm looking for the man looking for the man
I'm looking for the man so I must go
I'm looking for the man looking for the man
I'm looking for the man that I love so

Don't pour me a drink bartender I'm not here for wine
Don't show me a vacancy for I don't have the time
I'm looking for the man I made mad tonight
Accusing him of doing wrong when he was doing right

I'm looking for the man looking for the man...
[ instrumental ]
Don't play me a song band leader just say when he left
Don't ask me to dance mister go ask someone else
I'm looking for the man before it's too late
For me to ask forgiveness for that one moment of hate

I'm looking for the man looking for the man
I'm looking for the man and he's not here
I'm looking for the man looking for the man
I'm looking for the man through all my tears
I’m looking for the man through all my tears

Lay Down Your Arms

Melba Montgomery - Earl Montgomery

Stop this war between our hearts
Let's end this trouble and fightin' that's tearin' us apart
Let's make peace between us two
Lay down your arms I surrender to you

Cease that fire in a torch of hate
Let's put out those flames that burn let's not debate
To conflict is wrong to do
Lay down your arms I surrender to you

Lay down your arms don't fight no more and give in
Lay down your arms help to skalor and both sides will win
Stop this war between our hearts
Let’s end this trouble and fightin' that's tearin' us apart

Love has won and the battle's through
Lay down your arms I surrender to you
Lay down your arms I surrender to you

Everybody Knows But You And Me

Dallas Frazier

(Everybody knows but you and me)

It's so plain to see that we're both happy
And we're both as proud as we can be
Everybody knows we love each other
Everybody knows but you and me

They all say that we're the perfect couple
And they know we never disagree
Everybody knows we're true and faithful
Everybody knows but you and me

How long can we keep on pretending
Sharing love that's nothing but a lie
Outside we both have smiling faces
While inside we both would like to cry

Everywhere we go we're always careful
Of the things our friends might hear and see
Everybody knows our love is lasting
Everybody knows but you and me
Everybody knows but you and me

King And Queen

Earl Montgomery

© Glad Music, BMI

When they count all the tears that we cried
We'll break all records for the scar we'll be hidin'
When they bow down to failures say your majesty
Then king and queen we'll surely be

When they give a large banquet for fools
The guests of honor will be just me and you
Built to gold thrones to b-room by the lonley
Then king and queen we’ll surely be

We let our love lie around till it got dusty
From lack of use it faded from sight
When they give us a diamond for each memory
Then king and queen we'll surely be

We let our love lie around till it got dusty...
Then king and queen we'll surely be

June Is As Cold As December

Marge Barton

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

Here comes June a vision of loveliness
When she smiles it's like a sweet caress
Every boy she meets she sets his heart aglow
They think she's the answer to their dreams but they don't know

June is as cold as December
June has a heartache she remembers
The pain of one untrue love left her afraid of new love
June is as cold as December

Here comes June the prettiest girl in town
When she's near the boys all gather round
Hoping to be the one her heart is searching for
But June doesn't have a heart to offer anymore

June is as cold as December...
June is as cold as December
