Love Is Like A Spinning Wheel

Sergio Endrigo - Bill Owens

© Duchess Music, BMI

Love is like an ever spinning wheel
Round and round again round and round again
Don't you cry you'll find somebody new
When love comes round again for you

Down the years many tears have been cried about love and devotion
Dry your tears love is just like a boat sailing over the ocean

Wheel of fortune keeps on turnin'
Love goes round like a carousel ride
Soon you'll find someone else by your side

Love is like an ever spinning wheel...
The wheel of fortune keeps on turnin'...
Love is like an ever spinning wheel...

The One You Slip Around With

Harlan Howard - Fuzzy Owen

© Jat Music, BMI

I had the key to heaven when we married
And for a while I brought you happiness
But now your love for me is dead and buried
And ev'ry night you share another's kiss

And I'd rather be the one you slip around with
Than be the one who's dream of love is gone
Yes I'd rather be the one you spend your time with
Than be the one at home all alone
[ instrumental ]
Deep down inside I know that I should leave you
How many tears must fall before I learn
I think of many ways that I could grieve you
And yet I'm always here when you return

But I'd rather be the one you slip around with...
I'd rather be the one you spend your time with
Than be the one at home all alone

The Banks Of The Ohio

Bill Fold

© Unichappell Music, BMI

I asked my love to take a walk
Take a walk just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

And only say that you'll be mine
In no other's arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried my love don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity

And only say that you'll be mine
In no other's arms entwine...

I wandered home between twelve and one
I cried my Lord what have I done
I killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his bride

And only say that you'll be mine...

Gary Bonds - Jerry Williams

© Jerry Williams Music, BMI

Well I said friend don't take him he's all I got
Please don't take his love away from me
I'm a beggin' you friend don't take him he's all I got
He's ev'rything in life I'll ever need

He is life oh when I want to live
He's ev'rything in life to me that life can give
He's my water a when I need to drink
He's the first thought in my mind each time I try to think

Let me tell you now friend don't take him he's all I got...

He's my finger oh when I want to feel
He's the only thing in life to me that's really real
He is love he's all the love I know
He could kiss the ground in the wintertime and make the flowers grow

Let me tell you now friend don't take him he's all I got...

Missing You

Larry Butler

© Tree Pub, BMI

Never knew what hurtin' was until today
Never thought that I could ever feel this way
Missing you missing you and only you
What can I do missing you

In my dreams I feel you lyin' next to me
But the mornin' sun wakes up the loneliness in me
Missing you missing you and only you
What can I do missing you

Was leavin' me easy to do
Was someone somewhere waiting for you
If this is what you wanted to do
All I ask is a reason from you

Walkin' down the road tryin' to keep my soul from wanting you
But everywhere I look there's somethin' new to remind me of you
Missing you missing you and only you
What can I do missing you
What can I do missing you

Remember The Good

Mickey Newbury

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Yes I suppose at times I think about him
He was once so much a part of me
Heaven knows I've learned to live without him
Though hell it was at times it was a painful memory

But for all it matters now if it does
For all that tried to be but never was
And for all the times I've cried I wouldn't change it if I could
For all he meant to me I'll remember the good

I'll forget the bad the good times we had
Won't make me quite so sad when I'm rememb'ring
And for all the times I've cried I wouldn't change it if I could
For all he meant to me I'll remember the good
For all he meant to me I'll remember the good

Let Him Have It

Ben Peters

© Ben Peters Music, BMI

If he wants to have a little fun with friends let him have it
If he needs a little money he can spend let him have it
But if you find his friends are the kind that wear
The mini skirts and peroxide hair
And you sense a little bit of hanky panky there let him have it

Ev'ry man's gotta have a little bit of freedom
But when some see opportunity they're gonna grab it
The only way to make him know he really doesn't need 'em
Is when you know it's love that he's thinkin' of let him have it

If he needs to have a little time to think let him have it
While he has himself a little social drink let him have it
But when he comes home and later on you find
He tells you there was somethin' on his mind
And she left some lipstick on the shirt you ironed let him have it

Well ev'ry man's gotta have a little bit of freedom...
Oh when you know it's love that he's thinkin' of let him have it
Oh when you know it's love that he's thinkin' of let him have it

All I Ever Need Is You

Jimmie Holiday - Eddie Reeves

© UA Music, ASCAP

Sometimes when I'm down and all alone
Just like a child without a home
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on
A honey all I ever need is you

You're my first love you're my last
You're my future you're my past
And loving you is all that I ask
A honey all I ever need is you

Winters come and they go
And we watch the melting snow
As sure as summer follows spring all the things you do
Give me a reason to build my world around you

Some men follow rainbows I am told
Some men search for silver some for gold
I have found my treasure in your soul
A honey all I ever need is you

Without love I'd never find the way
Through ups and downs of ev'ry single day
I won't sleep at night until you say
My honey all I ever need is you

Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'

Ben Peters

© Ben Peters Music, BMI

Whenever I chance to meet some ol' friends on the street
They wonder how a woman gets to be this way
I've always got a smiling face any time and any place
And ever time they ask me why I just smile and say

You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let him know you think about him when he's gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love him like a devil when he gets back home

Though people may try to guess the secret of my happiness
But some of them never learn it's a simple thing
The secret I'm speakin' of is a woman and a man in love
And the answer is in the song that I'll always sing

You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'...
Kiss an angel good mornin'...

Completely

Dave Burgess

© Ominor Music, BMI

I took one look at you and all at once I knew
I'm yours my whole life through completely
You smile so tenderly your kiss was heavenly
You took control of me completely

Your touch is like a fire burning deep inside my mind
Your lips are like a flame in the night
I feel your breath I hear your sigh and in your arms I find
Havin' you and lovin' you just must be right

If you should go away my life would end that day
Like dreams that slip away completely
[ instrumental ]
Mhm mhm completely

I'd Like To Teach The World Sing

Roger Cook - Roger Greenaway - Billy Davis

© Cookaway Music, BMI

I'd like to build the world a home and furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow white turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company

I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land
It's the real thing what the world wants today
That's the way it will stay with the real thing

I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
A song of peace that echoes on and never goes away
Put your hand in my hand let's begin today
With your hand in my hand help me find a way

I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
A song of peace that echoes on...
