Freckles And Polliwog Days

Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

Oh do you remember that rainy December
When we had a fight at the school
Out by the seesaw you walked up to me
Said that your pa could lick mine anyday
Oh why do those mem'ries keep livin' within me
If true love has gone away
I'd bet a heartache that you feel the same way
I get a feelin' sometimes you feel sorry
Oh what I'd give to go back and relive
Those freckles and polliwog days

Ha ha you missed me your freckle faced sissy
If you're not afraid cat then why don't you kiss me
These are the things that live in my dreams
These are the mem'ries that won't go away
From peepin' and hidin' to lovin' and cryin'
To watchin' you walk away
Oh darlin' what happened what tore us apart
Did loneliness tiptoe away with out hearts
Oh what I'd give to go back and relive
Those freckles and polliwog days
[ instrumental ]
Ha ha you missed me your freckle faced sissy...

Oh what I'd give to go back and relive
Those freckles and polliwog days

Them Ole Rainy Lovesick Songs

Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

Sometimes in the mornin' I turn on the radio
Hopin' that they'll play a warm and happy sunshine song
But every song reminds me that my true love is gone
I can hear you say goodbye in every song

Them ole rainy lovesick songs are hittin' home
That ole sun ain't shine one day since you've been gone
This ole house is cold and lonesome all night long
Them ole rainy lovesick songs are hittin' home
[ instrumental ]
Sittin' by the fireplace a listenin' to the stereo
A thinkin' bout you darling more than you will ever know
Cryin' cause I love you and cause I'm all alone
Because I don't know why your love is gone

Them ole rainy lovesick songs are hittin' home...
Them ole rainy lovesick songs are hittin' home...

Let Your Lovin' Do Your Talkin'

Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

A let your lovin' do your talkin'
Let your feelin's say the things that you can say
Let your lovin' do your talkin'
And you'll be walkin' in the sunshine everyday

If you can't say the words I love you
If you can't tell it like it is
Just put your arms around your baby
And tell her with a tender kiss

And let your lovin' do your talkin'...
[ instrumental ]
If you're in trouble with your baby
And you don't know how to explain
Just let your heart tell her you're sorry
That love and nature do her things

And let your lovin' do your talkin'...
A let your lovin' do your talkin'...

Everything Is Nothing Without You

Let ol' kitten baby ducks and puppys
A morning sunrise and the ocean blue
The stars and moon are shining at their bridle
But everything is nothing without you

I'm proud that I'm a part of God's creation
Life is all it's beautiful it's true
I'll tell the world without hesitation
That everything is nothing without you
[ instrumental ]
The leaves are changing colors in the forest
And the misty trees the sun comes peepin' through
A stream of water ripplin' down the mountain
But everything is nothing without you

I'm proud that I'm a part of God's creation...
Everything is nothing without you

If Lovin' Ain't Easy (Then Lovin' Ain't Right)

Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens

© Blue Crest Music, BMI

Say it slow say it with feeling
Tell me you need me from deep down inside
Hold me close hold me with feeling
When lovin' ain't easy lovin' ain't right

Let your heart surrender love me soft and tender
Don't be afraid
Put your arms around me let love have its way
Take my love take it with feeling
When lovin' ain't easy lovin' ain't right
[ instrumental ]
Let your heart surrender love me soft and tender...
When lovin' ain't easy lovin' ain't right

When You Go

Jerry Foster - Bill Rice

© Jack And Bill Music, ASCAP

This cry inside is big enough to drown me
I know you've gone upstairs to pack your clothes
This love I have for you is all you're leavin' here with me
Why don't you take it with you when you go

I hear your footsteps on the floor above me
And soon they'll just be echoes in my soul
All this love I have for you will just keep hurtin' me
Why don't you take it with you when you go

Would these mem'ries be too much to carry
I know a heartache's such a heavy load
If there's room for broken dreams and tears I yet to cry
Why don't you take them with you when you go
[ instrumental ]
I'm standing at the end of our forever
The door of love is just about too close
I don't want tomorrow for it's nothing without you
Why don't you take it with you when you go
Why don't you take it with you when you go

The Same Old Way

Jerry Foster - Bill Rice

© Jack And Bill Music, ASCAP

Let this be my prayer when I wake up
May the good Lord keep you mine another day
Let it be my time that you take up
And keep you here beside me come what may

I'll never know just what you see in me
Or what I'm doin' right to make you stay
But until my heart stands still you're all I'll ever need
And I'll keep lovin' you the same old way

If I should ever lose you I don't know how I'd live
For I know I love you more and more each day
We belong together and a million years from now
I'll still be lovin' you the same old way
[ instrumental ]
Let this be my prayer when I wake up...
I'll never know just what you see in me...
If I should ever lose you I don't know how I'd live...

Yes I'll still be lovin' you the same old way

A Room For A Boy Never Used

Dick Feller

© Tree Pub, BMI

I have a house that's more than a house
Made of dreams that are more than dreams
And the rooms in that house are carefully filled
With my most loved people and things
But there's one single room at the top of the stairs
With a door that's painted blue
It's for the son that I've once had
Now it's a room for a boy never used
The drapes are done in trains and affection
The walls are in race cars and love
There's a place for a dart board
A football helmet a ball a bat and a glove
There's a place just right for a crayon stickman
About so high here by the door
With model cars hung from the ceilin'
And comic books on the floor
There's a big lonely tree in the backyard
Just waitin' for a new rope swing
And there's a place in the branches for a big tree house
And a place to keep secrets and things
There's a gang of little outlaws seen roamin' the yard
A lawless reckless band
But a fearless young sheriff with a little toy badge
Could keep the law well in hand
There's a whole backyard just full of adventure
With pirates and spacemen too
But it's just lyin' there all wasted and bare
Like that room for a boy never used
There's a place in my mind where I've laid away times
To be shared with a special someone
And they'll never by shared by anyone else
For there's times for a man and his son
Like when a tail of a kite can be more important
Than that noise I heard in the car
And time for questions like where did I come from
And why can't I touch the stars
I've got bedtime stories that I've never told
And some songs I've been keeping aside
And a walk in the sand for one boy and one man
And magic tricks I've never tried
God you've given me more than I've ever deserved
But if I might humbly ask you
When you're givin' out sons please give me another one
For that room for a boy that's never used
