Baby You've Got What It Takes

Clyde Otis - Brook Benton - Murray Stein

Well now it takes more than a robin to make the winter go
I know it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow
Well it takes two hearts a cookin' to make a fire grow
And baby you've got what it takes

Yeah you know it takes a lotta kisses to make a romance sweet
Um hum it takes a lot of lovin' honey to make my life complete
I done told you it takes a lotta woman to knock me off my feet
But baby a you got what it takes

Well I say mmm and I said mmm
You know you got just what it takes
It takes more than an effort to make me stay away from you
And it takes more than one lifetime for a man to prove that he'll be true
Yeah and it takes somebody special honey to make me say I do
And baby you've got what it takes

Come on Melba baby I said mmm yeah mmm
You know you got just what it takes
Well it takes more than an effort to make me stay away from you
And it takes more than a lifetime honey to prove that I'll be true
And it'll take somebody awful special to make me say I do
Baby you've got what it takes
And baby you've got what it takes
You know you have yeah
And baby you've got what it takes

We Sure Can Love Each Other

Billy Sherrill - Tammy Wynette

© Algee Music, BMI

We sure can love each other when we try
Just like in all those love songs when we try
And some nights I love you so much content to be beside you
And when I finally close my eyes the sun is high

But we sure can hurt each other when we try
We know all the ways to make each other cry
But when we forget compassion and to forgive is too old fashion
We've let ev'rything worth having pass us by

But we sure can love each other when we try
And I know we'll need each other till we die
And we'll grow old together you and I
Cause we sure can love each other when we try
Yes we sure can love each other when we try

Don't Believe Me

Lorene Allen - Jay Breese - Jerry Wooten

I thought I'd call to see how you've been doin'
I don't hear much about you anymore
Don't know what made you cross my mind because I care less all the time
I don't miss you the way I did before

It's funny this is when you chose to call me
Because today I was thinking about you yes I was honey
The way you think about a friend you know just wondering where you've been
I don't miss you the way I did before

Don't believe me I'm lyin' it's not true what I say
I've tried to forget you but I can't find the way
Don't believe me I'm lyin' I can't take anymore
To be honest I love you just as much as before
[ instrumental ]
Don't believe me I'm lyin' it's not true what I say...

Let Me Put It Another Way

Helen Cornelius

Let me put it another way there's no use to talk around it
We better go our separate ways a love that's died can't live again

We denied it much too long now we tried to spare each other's hearts
And I'm wondering if you're wondering if it's best that we should part

Let me put it another way there's no use to talk around it...

There's no use to hide our feelin's they have a way of showin' through
While our world is held together by some lines of faded blue

Let me put it another way there's no use to talk around it...

When I Stop Dreaming

Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop lovin' you

The worst I've ever been hurt in my life
The first time I ever wanted to die
Was the night when you told me you loved someone else
And asked me if I could forget
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop wanting you

You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
You may take a pebble and teach it to grow
You might teach all the raindrops to return to the clouds
But you can't teach my heart to forget
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop lovin' you

Did You Ever

Bobby Braddock

© Tree Pub, BMI

Did you ever not so much that you could notice
Could you estimate how many eight or nine
Will you do it anymore as soon as you walk out the door
I just wondered did you ever all the time

Could I fix you one small no thanks I just had one
Then how about a nice big that would be just fine
Is there any special way oh no whatever you say
I just wondered have you ever all the time

Does he look like no he's taller and more handsome
Is he as old oh no he's young and in his prime
Does your mother know I'll bet oh no I haven't told her yet
I just wondered do you ever all the time

Just for ole times sake no that would be much harder
Then how about well are you sure that you don't mind
Hey I know just the thing for us no I'm afraid I'll miss my bus
I just wondered have you ever all the time
I just wondered did you ever all the time

One By One

Johnny Wright - Jack Anglin - Jim Anglin

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

My plans and hopes have tumbled down
My castle of dreams plunged to the ground
How can you face me after what you've done
You shattered my dreams one by one

One by one you broke each vow you made
It was you who lied it was me who paid
As sure's there's a heaven beyond the sun
We'll pay for our lies one by one

How can you go to sleep at night
Don't ole mem'ries make you long for daylight
You'll pay the price after havin' your fun
You'll regret each mistake one by one

One by one you broke each vow you made...

New Dreams And Sunshine

Curly Putman

© Tree Pub, BMI

Don't it seem to rain a lot in our lives
A dark cloud always seems to hide our blue skies
Yet this Texas sun has burned its way right through my brain
Now my job is done and hard times follow just like rain

California seems to be the place to go
Dreams out there come true they say and turn to gold
But our California dreams turned out to be just lies
Don't it seem to rain a lot in our lives

But somewhere we'll find new dreams and sunshine
Green fields and blue skies where blue birds fly
Where the only rain is a summer shower to cool the night
Yes somewhere there's new dreams and sunshine

Last night I went to Tennessee in new dreams
Where cotton jumped into your sack and money grew from trees
But when I awoke and I found I had dreamed and almost cried
Lord don't it seem to rain a lot in our lives

But somewhere we'll find new dreams and sunshine...

After The Fire Is Gone

L.E. White

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

Love is where you find it when you find no love at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes after the fire is gone

The bottle is almost empty the clock just now struck ten
Darlin' I had to call you to our far out place again
We know it's wrong for us to meet but the fire's gone out at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes after the fire is gone

Love is where you find it when you find no love at home...
[ instrumental ]
Your lips are warm and tender your arms hold me just right
Sweet words of love you remember that the one at home forgot
Each time we say is the last time but we keep hangin' on
And there's nothin' cold as ashes after the fire is gone

Love is where you find it when you find no love at home...

Take Up Where Goodbye Began

Dick Burt - Patti Johnson

© Terri Music, ASCAP

Late tonight the candlelight will be the only witness to my plan
For it will see you meetin' me to take up where goodbye began
You're loneliness and emptiness will be destroyed by reunited hands
For you will be awaiting me to take up where goodbye began

I still recall familiar conversations when we'd sit alone and plan
The morning walks as day was born the beaches showin' footprints where we ran
Evenin's with our favorite song life for us was free from wrong
It was a time when love belonged before goodbyes began

It's time I guess for me to dress remember how I like you dressed in tan
I must be dressed my very best to take up where goodbye began

I guess I knew what I must do the very day I laid you in your grave
I have finally driven out the fear of death no more am I it's slave
I have the peace of mind that comes when one decides what must be done
With steady hands pick up the gun and let love make you brave

And late tonight the candlelight will be the only witness to my plans
For it will see you meetin' me to take up where goodbye began
Yes you will be again with me to take up where goodbye began
