Candy Kisses

George Morgan

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

Candy kisses wrapped in paper
Mean more to you than any of mine
Candy kisses wrapped in paper
You'd rather have them any old time

You don't mean it when you whisper
Those sweet love words in my ear
Candy kisses wrapped in paper
Mean more to you than mine do dear
[ instrumental ]
I build a castle out of dreams dear
I thought that you were building too
Now my castles all have fallen
And I am left alone and blue

Once my heart was filled with gladness
Now there's sadness only tears
Candy kisses wrapped in paper
Mean more to you than mine do dear

Almost

Vic McAlpin - Jack Toombs

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Almost you fell in love with me
Almost you were my bride to be
But each promise that was made
You have broken and betrayed
And left me with a faded memory

Almost my precious dreams came true
Almost you whispered dear I do
But someone new came by
And you left me here to cry
Oh how close we were almost
[ instrumental ]
Almost I heard the church bells ring
Almost I heard the choir sing
But I hear now instead
All those unkind words you said
I remember every little thing

Almost your heart I did possess
Almost you brought me happiness
But dreams just won't come true
And there's nothing I can do
Oh how close we were almost

The One Rose (That's Left In My Heart)

Del Lyon - Lani McIntire

© Shapiro Bernstein Co, ASCAP

You're as sweet as the red rose in June dear
I love you adore you I do
Each night through love land we'll wander sweetheart
Telling love stories anew

Out of the blue sky a dark cloud came rolling
Breaking my heart in two
Don't leave me alone for I love only you
You're the one rose that's left in my heart
[ instrumental ]
Each night through love land we'll wander sweetheart
Telling love stories anew

Out of the blue sky a dark cloud came rolling...
(In my heart)

Cry Baby Heart

Leon Payne

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I say that I don't worry and our parting brought no pain
I tell them I'll be happy if we never meet again
About the time I get 'em fooled and think I'm really smart
I realize that I can't hide my cry baby heart

Cry baby heart I wish you were a stone
So I could really laugh and say I'm better off alone
But like an actor in a play I stumble through my part
You're always giving me away you cry baby heart
[ instrumental ]
I try to find somebody else but no one else will do
I'd rather sit at home alone and worry over you
I wish that I could run away and make another start
But what's the use I'd still obey my cry baby heart

Cry baby heart I wish you were a stone...

Waltzing By The Ohio

George Morgan - Beasley Smith

© Milene Music, ASCAP

(Waltzing waltzing by the Ohio)

I was waltzing by the Ohio river of dreams
With the girl of my dreams in my arms
And the music beautiful music was the breeze through the trees
As the moonlight played over her charms

She promised to always be faithful and true
But we drifted apart now I'm lonesome and blue
And another is waltzing by the river of dreams
With the girl of my dreams in his arms

(I was waltzing by the Ohio river of dreams
With the girl of my dreams in my arms
And the music beautiful music was the breeze through the trees
As the moonlight played over her charms)

She promised to always be faithful and true...
(Waltzing waltzing by the Ohio)

Oh Gentle Shepherd

Cindy Walker

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

My soul is lost so lonely and so cold
Just like a lamb that has strayed from the fold
Across the barren waste of sin I roam
Oh gentle shepherd hear my cry and lead me home

Oh gentle shepherd hear my lonely cry
And in Thy cool green pastures let me lie
Beside the still clear waters lead Thou me
Oh gentle shepherd safe forever more with Thee

(The hours go by on frightened wings of flight
While wolves of hell are waiting for the night)
You claim the soul that's strayed from the fold
Oh gentle shepherd hear my cry and save my soul
(Gentle shepherd save my soul)

It's A Sin

Fred Rose - Zeb Turner

© Milene Music, ASCAP

It's a sin my darling how I love you
Because I know our love can never be
It's a sin to keep this mem'ry of you
When silence proves that you've forgotten me

The dream I built for us has tumbled
Each promise broken like my heart
It's a sin my darling how I love you
So much in love and yet so far apart

It's a sin to hide behind this heartache
To make believe that I've found someone new
It's a sin to say that I don't miss you
When people know I'm still in love with you

I'm sure you're happy with another
Who shares the love I couldn't win
Why pretend that I can't live without you
When deep inside I know that it's a sin

Whither Thou Goest

Guy Singer

© Kavelin Music, BMI

Whither Thou goest I will go
Wherever Thou lodgest I will lodge
Thy people shall be my people my love
Whither Thou goest I will go

For as in that story long ago
That same sweet love story now is so
Thy people shall be my people my love
Whither Thou goest I will go

(For as in that story long ago
That same sweet love story now is so)
Thy people shall be my people my love
Whither Thou goest I will go
Whither Thou goest I will go (I will go)

Mansion Over The Hilltop

Ira Stanphill

© Singspiration Music, ASCAP

I'm satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and a little gold
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that's silver lined

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on the streets that are purest gold
[ instrumental ]
Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely
I'm not discouraged I'm heaven bound
I'm but a pilgrim in search of a city
I want a mansion a harp and a crown

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop...
[ instrumental ]
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop...

White Azaleas

Bob Miller

© Central Songs, BMI

When the white azaleas start blooming
I'll come back to you
When spring's in the air with its freshness so rare
We'll make our dreams come true

When the white azaleas start blooming
Up in those mountains so high
We'll build a nest where we'll find happiness
Sweetheart for only you and I

(When the white azaleas start blooming
I'll come back to you)
When spring's in the air with its freshness so rare
We'll make our dreams come true

When the white azaleas start blooming...
(When the white azaleas start blooming)

You're The Only Star (In My Blue Heaven)

Gene Autry

© Western Music, ASCAP

You're the only star in my blue heaven
And you're shining just for me
You're the only star in my blue heaven
And in dreams your face I see

You're the guiding light that brightens up the night
When you came in sight my heart was lonely
You're the only star in my blue heaven
And you're shining just for me
[ instrumental ]
You're the guiding light that brightens up the night...

Jesus Saviour Pilot Me

John Gould - Erward Hopper

© E.B. Marks Music, BMI

Jesus Saviour pilot me over life's tempestuous sea
Unknown waves before me roll hiding rock and treach'rous shoal
Chart and compass come from Thee Jesus Saviour pilot me
that brightens up the night
As a mother stills her child Thou canst hush the ocean wild
Boist'rous waves obey Thy will when Thou say'st to them be still
Wondrous sov'reign of the sea Jesus Saviour pilot me
