The Time Has Come

Susan Longacre - Lonnie Wilson

© Famous Music, ASCAP

Time has come to let you go my tears will run and they'll keep me afloat
I set you adrift like a burning boat the time has come to let you go

The time has come to turn you loose it took my heart this long to face the truth
If I lost you I can lose these blues the time has come to turn you loose
We had our moment in the sun but that time has come and now that time is gone
[ instrumental ]
The time has come to set you free tonight's the night I'll untie all these dreams
I'll send them away so I can find some piece the time has come to set you free

Time has come to let you go my tears will run...
I'm gonna let you go

That's Me

Tony Haselden - Bob Alan

© Millhouse Music, BMI

There's a photo in an album he don't notice anymore that's me that's me
There's a stack of cards and letters buried deep inside a drawer that's me that's me
And the shirt that I once slept in hanging loose behind the door
Tossed aside so carelessly that's me oh that's me

There's a picture in my wallet and one less faded in my mind that's him that's him
There's a name that always haunts me and it slips from time to time
That's him that's him
There's a yearning that I feel in my heart and in my soul
An old flame that'll never dim That's him I know that's him

(That's me) hangin' on to the end (that's me) startin' all over again
(That's love) oh that's the way it goes
There's a woman in the chapel in the back row by herself that's me that's me
And a man at the altar says I do to someone else that's him that's him
As the wedding party leaves throwin' rice and wishing well
A single tear falls silently That's me oh Lord that's me oh that's me that's me

True Blue Fool

Kathy Louvin - Carol Chase

© Millhouse Music, BMI

I'm so blue only for you what makes you treat me the way that you do
Cause I've been true only to you just call me your true blue fool
Every day you're away lasts forever
Oh what price my heart pays just to stay together

I'm so blue only for you...
[ instrumental ]
First you lie then I cry then you're sorry
I forgive once again it's just the same old story

I'm so blue only for you...
Just call me your true blue fool

Losing You Feel Good

Lonnie Wilson - Charlotte Wilson - Herbert Wilson

© Bayou Blonde Music, ASCAP

I tried to hold our love together but you let us fall apart
Now your leaving me for someone else taking what's left of my heart
But this time the pain don't feel that same I'm not aching like I should
Cause loving you has hurt so bad that losing you feels good
I know you'll come back running to me when the thrill is dead and gone
And you realize the love you need was right here all along
When you try to restore what we had before there's no way you ever could
Cause loving you has hurt so bad that losing you feels good

Don't get me wrong I'll still long to hold you every night
But my heart can't take another break when there's no relief in sight
I guess you're wondering why I haven't cried cause usually I would
But loving you has hurt so bad that losing you feels good
If there was a way to make you stay I wouldn't if I could
Cause loving you has hurt so bad that losing you feels good

Walk That Line

David Wills - Rick West

© Rick West Songs, BMI

I never believed in the strait and narrow always took the rocky road
Spread my wings like a wayward sparrow where the wind blew I would go
I thought no one could ever tame me and no chains could tie me down
Till your love put my feet back on the ground

I wanna walk that line true lovers do your hand in mine now I belong with you
I wanna join our hearts with the ties that bind
And make a brand new start I wanna walk that line
[ instrumental ]
All my wild and crazy ramblin's and those things I live for
Were so easily abandoned I don't need them anymore
With a tender touch to tame me and I'll never be the same
Cause your love's led my heart back home again

I wanna walk that line true lovers do...
True lovers do your hand in mine now I belong with you...

Cheap Whiskey

Jim Rushing - Emory Gordy

© Tree Pub, BMI

He sits all alone in his easy chair staring back on his lost yesterdays
Long before he encountered the bottle and the demons that drove her away
In his hand he is holding her photograph her image all tear stained and worn
Tonight he's embracing reality and he curses the day he was born

And the darkness still echoes her warning you can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him till the day that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey and the sound of goodbye
[ instrumental ]
Since the hour that she left he's been sober
And each breath that he draws makes him think
By the light of his life gone forever
When he traded her love for a drink

And the darkness still echoes her warning...
Smell of cheap whiskey and the sound of goodbye

I Can't Sleep

Kathy Louvin - Mark Collie

© Window Music, BMI

I can't sleep for dreaming about you
When you're gone there's nothing I can do
But lie awake alone and dream the whole night through
I can't sleep for dreaming about you

I close my weary eyes and see your face
I hold my pillow tight and dream of your embrace
I know I could use the rest
But my lonely heart cries out for your caress

I can't sleep for dreaming about you...

They say that absence makes a love grow stronger
But I don't believe my empty arms can hold out any longer

I cant sleep for dreaming about you...
I can't sleep for dreaming about you

A Woman Knows

Chris McCarty - Allen Spears - John Fowler

© Swingtown Music, ASCAP

How can you just stand there and act like nothing's wrong
You haven't even kissed me or held me for so long
There's no lipstick on your collar there's no perfume on your clothes
There's no number on a matchbook but a woman always knows

A woman knows without asking a woman knows what's left unsaid
A woman knows when a man's been sleeping in someone else's bed
[ instrumental ]
I don't have all the answers and you haven't left a clue
But in my heart there's just no question you've found somebody new

A woman knows without asking...

When you refuse to talk about it in your silence my suspicion grows
You don't have to paint a picture somehow a woman knows
You don't have to paint a picture somehow a woman knows

Rope

Stephanie Davis

© Beartooth Music, BMI

In waters calm I sailed from shore to see what I might see
And having never sailed before I drifted aimlessly
A warm breeze rocked my boat until in slumber I fell sound
But woke to find the light grown dim and dark clouds gathering round

In haste I worked at turning back but now the wind blew wrong
And when the night came cold and black my strength was almost gone
But with one last small thread of hope I bowed my head to pray
Then through the dark I saw a rope and heard a calm voice say

Grab the rope hold it tight in the distance shines a light
Neither fear nor feel alone there is one who'll lead you home

I heard my heart beat loud and fast but did as I was told
And with the rosey dawn at last dry land I did behold
I kissed the sandy banks and swore my sailing days were through
But should I ever stray from shore I know now what to do

Grab the rope hold it tight in the distance shines a light...

When You Are Old

Gretchen Peters

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

When you are old and tired and grey wear you overcoat on sunny days
When your brave tales have all been told I'll ask for them when you are old
When you are old and full of sleep and death no longer makes you weep
When your body aches with cold I'll warm your heart when you are old

You'll still be the same to me a comfort and a mystery
And I will be able to see I'll need someone to comfort me
[ instrumental ]
When you are old and pale and gone a gentle hand is all you want
I will give you mine to hold and I'll be here when you are old
Yes I will give you mine to hold and I'll be here when you are old
Yes I will give you mine to hold and I'll be here when you are old
