Turn Turn Turn (To Everything There Is A Season)

Pete Seeger

© Melody Trails, BMI

To everything turn turn turn
There is a season turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time to be born a time to die
A time to plant a time to reap
A time to kill a time to heal
A time to laugh a time to weep

To everything turn turn turn
There is a season turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time to build up a time to break down
A time to dance a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
[ instrumental ]
To everything turn turn turn
There is a season turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time to gain a time to lose
A time to rend a time to sew
A time to love a time to hate
A time for peace I swear it's not too late

Love Me Right To The End

Max D. Barnes - Vern Gosdin

© Hookit Music, BMI

My darling and I were married and all
Just a year on the first of July
And when she came down with a fever I saw
That faraway look in her eyes

He was sunshine and laughter
He was roses and blooms
But some roses can't weather the storm
And she whispers these words
With the last breath she drew
As she drifted away in my arms

Ammie and Riley dress me in white
Darling hold on to my hand
Singing our love song just one more time
And love me right to the end
[ instrumental ]
Now you can find me at sundown
Where the wild flowers grow
Wondering if I'll make it a home
Reliving sweet mem'ries as I play these roles
All these words carve so deep in stars

Ammie and Riley dress me in white...

How Can I Believe In You (When You'll Be Leaving Me)

Buddy Cannon - Vern Gosdin

© Sabal Music, BMI

Lying here with my head on the shoulder
That used to be my place to dream
Now it only makes the cold nights colder
And I'm afraid of what our future brings

Holding you's like holding a stranger
Ah we're becoming strangers and girl it's killing me
You ask me to believe that it's not over
Ah but how can I believe in you when you'll be leaving me

Anymore when you tell me you love me
Somehow it just don't feel the same
And I can't help believing there's another
For you've been whispering in your dreams

Holding you's like holding a stranger
Ah we're becoming strangers and girl it's killing me
You ask me to believe that it's not over
Ah but how can I believe in you when you'll be leaving me

Holding you's like holding a stranger
Ah we're becoming strangers and God it's killing me
You ask me to believe that it's not over
Ah but how can I believe in you when you'll be leaving me
Ah how can I believe in you when you'll be leaving me

Slow Healing Heart

Jim Rushing

© Maypop Music, BMI

When I left I left walkin' wounded
I made my escape from the rain
Still a prisoner of hurt I had months worth of work
Freein' my mind of the pain
I had hours of sittin' alone in the dark
Listenin' to Emmylou and comin' apart
Lord knows I made cussing an art
And woe is a slow healing heart

A slow healing heart is dyin' to mend
It's longin' for love and lonely as sin
But when the spirit is broken and the memories start
Nothin' moves slower oh than a slow healing heart

How I prayed for blind faith to lead me
To places where I'm not afraid
Now I'm doin' fine both body and mind
But some scars on my heart have stayed
There's a part of my feelings always on guard
For looks that are tender and words that are hard
'Cause I still remember those cutting remarks
And weak is a slow healing heart

A slow healing heart is dyin' to mend
It's longin' for love and lonely as sin
But when the spirit is broken and the memories start
Nothin' moves slower oh than a slow healing heart
Nothin' moves slower oh than a slow healing heart

I Can Tell By The Way You Dance (You're Gonna Love Me Tonight)

Sandy Pinkard - Robb Strandlund

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

I can see every time I look into your eyes
You don't care a thing about those other guys
Without words you make me understand what's on your mind
The rhythm of your body close to mine
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight

Sometimes it's cold sometimes it's hot
Love's either right or it's wrong
Feels so good love you a lot
Right here beside me is where you belong

I don't care if everybody knows the way I feel
Until the dream of holdin' you is real
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
[ instrumental ]
Sometimes it's cold sometimes it's hot
Love's either right or it's wrong
Feels so good love you a lot
Right here beside me is where you belong

I don't care if everybody knows the way I feel
Until the dream of holdin' you is real
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight

I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight

Ooh ooh I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight

Oh I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight

What Would Your Memories Do

Hank Cochran - Dean Dillon

© Tree Pub, BMI

What would your memories do
If they didn't have my mind to run through
If they didn't have my heart to break in two
Oh what would your memories do

I wonder what would happen if one morning
Your memories woke up to find my mind gone
Would they go as crazy without me as I have without you
Would they last as long

If someday they found the door to my mind
Had been locked from inside by my heart
What would they do if they couldn't use you any longer
To tear me apart

What would your memories do
If they didn't have my mind to run through
If they didn't have my heart to break in two
Oh what would your memories do
Oh what would your memories do

Slow Burnin' Memory

Max D. Barnes - Vern Gosdin

© Blue Lake Music, BMI

You taught me how to love you
Now you expect me to forget you
After all the promises we made
So I tell my heart it's over this hurt can't last forever
Just until the heartaches fad away

You got a slow burning memory
Maybe I'll get over you in time
Slow burning memory
Keeps on burning a hole in my mind

The day you said goodbye I began to realize
It would take a while for my broken heart to mend
I had hoped that you were dealing
With the same heartaches I'm feeling
Maybe our love was just dying to live

You got a slow burning memory
Maybe I'll get over you in time
Slow burning memory
Keeps on burning a hole in my mind

You got a slow burning memory
Keeps on burning a hole in my mind

Dead From The Heart On Down

Max D. Barnes - Vern Gosdin

© Blue Lake Music, BMI

My friends all came around to say goodbye
And to see if there was something they could do
But they knew from the tears that filled my eyes
There was just one way to get me over you

They may as well just lay my soul to rest
And place pretty flowers on my chest
In my head the world still turns around
But I'm dead from the heart on down

Take me in that long black limousine
To the churchyard on the other side of town
Just lay me down with all my shattered dreams
Cause I'm dead from the heart on down

You may as well just lay my soul to rest
And place pretty flowers on my chest
In my head the world still turns around
But I'm dead from the heart on down
Yes I'm dead from the heart on down

Stone Cold Heart

Max D. Barnes - Vern Gosdin

© Hookit Music, BMI

It's over this time it's the end of the line
And when you awake I'll be gone
It's plain now to see there's no room for me
In a heart that's made of stone

There may come a day the world blows away
And mountains will crumble apart
But I know too well all the fires of hell
Cannot melt your stone cold heart

Lying close to you turns me blue
When you turn away from my arms
Love is dying to live and I'm willing to give
But your heart has turned to stone

There may come a day the world blows away
And mountains will crumble apart
But I know too well all the fires of hell
Cannot melt your stone cold heart

I've Got A Heart Full Of You

Max D. Barnes - Vern Gosdin

© Blue Lake Music, BMI

I'm down to my last cent can't even pay the rent
All my bills are way overdue
But I ain't reaching for the stars I'm better off by far
Cause I've got a heart full of you

All the silver and gold even diamonds and coal
They don't turn me on the way you do
Oh you're soft and you're warm and you're lying in my arms
And I've got a heart full of you

I've been up I've been down I've been pushed around
Left out in the cold a time or two
Oh and that don't matter to me you're all I'll ever need
Cause I've got a heart full of you

All the silver and gold even diamonds and coal
They don't turn me on the way you do
Oh you're soft and you're warm and you're lying in my arms
And I've got a heart full of you
Yes I've got a heart full of you
