Funny How Time Slips Away

Willie Nelson

© Pamper Music, BMI

Well hello there my it's been a long long time
How'm I doin' oh I guess that I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now and it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee ain't it funny how time slips away

How's your new love I hope that she's doin' fine
I heard you told her that you'd love her till the end of time
Now that's the same thing that you told me seems like just the other day
Gee ain't it funny how time slips away

Gotta go now guess I'll see you around
Don't know when though I never know when I'll be back in town
But remember what I tell you that in time you're gonna pay
And it's surprising how time slips away

Tomorrow You Won't Even Know My Name

Harlan Howard

© Central Songs, BMI

I'm in your arms tonight as you kiss and hold me tight
But tomorrow you won't even know my name
For I'm not one of your crowd and outsiders aren't allowed
So tomorrow you won't even know my name

You'll be back in your world I'll be back in mine
Don't worry dear your friends won't hear where you spend your time
For I love you and I live for the moments that you give
Though tomorrow you won't even know my name

You'll be back in your world I'll be back in mine
Don't worry dear your friends won't hear where you spend your time
For I love you and I live for the moments that you give
Though tomorrow you won't even know my name

Heartaches By The Number

Harlan Howard

© Pamper Music, BMI

(Heartaches by the number
Heartaches number one two three)

Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
Heartache number two was when you came back again
You came back but never meant to stay

Now I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score
Every day you love me less each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting that's the day my world will end

Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were comin' back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock at my door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Now I've got heartaches by the number...

They Listened While You Said Goodbye

Harlan Howard

© Vidor Pub, BMI

The birds stop their singing when I'm passing by
And even the flowers just stand there and cry
For they know the reason I have tears in my eyes
They listened while you said goodbye

You say what you're seeking is over the hill
And that I'll find a new love but I never will
For you didn't know my whole world stood still
And listened while you said goodbye
[ instrumental ]
The sun has stopped shining the moon hides its face
It promised so much now it hides in disgrace
I guess all creation was there that night
And listened while you said goodbye

You say what you're seeking is over the hill...

I Can't Stop Cryin'

Harlan Howard

© Pamper Music, BMI

I can't stop crying I can't stop hurtin'
For you can't stop lying and you won't stop flirtin'
I can't stop hoping you'll love me too
And I can't stop crying until you do

I can't forget you I tried before
But to be without you just hurts me more
I can't stop praying you'll love me true
And I can't stop crying until you do

I can't stop crying I can't stop hurtin'...

Looking Back

Clyde Otis - Brook Benton - Belford Hendricks

© Eden Music, BMI

Looking back over my life I can see where I caused you strife
But I know oh yes I know I'd never make that same mistake again
Lookin' back over my deeds I can see signs a wise girl heeds
But if I just have the chance I'd never make that same mistake again

Once my cup was overflowing but I gave nothing in return
Now I can't begin to tell you what a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate I can see love turn to hate
But I know oh yes I know I'll never make that same mistake again

Once my cup was overflowing but I gave nothing in return...

The Saddest Part Of All

Bob Forshee

© Pamper Music, BMI

(Let me tell you the saddest part of all)

It was sad so sad when you left me
And me thinkin' I stood so tall
Now you're gone and I should forget you
But I still love you and that's the saddest part of all

Well I cried oh how I cried
When I saw you with her wrapped so tightly in your arms
But the way I cried then oh honey it can't begin to hold a candle
To the way I'm cryin' now that you're gone

And the saddest part of all is that I'd take you back
And all you'd have to do is call
After all all the things you done to hurt me
I still love you and that's the saddest part of all

If I Cried Every Time You Hurt Me

Harlan Howard

© Pamper Music, BMI

If I cried every time you hurt me
I'd be cryin' all the time
If I made a scene each time you were mean
We'd be quarrellin' all the time

But I don't cry and I don't get mad
I try to take the good with the bad
If I cried every time you hurt me
I'd be cryin' all the time
[ instrumental ]
Now and then you say you love me
And I try to believe it's true
Then you turn right around and hurt me
Like I was nothing to you

But I love you so and I'll stay somehow
My tears won't flow and my head won't bow
If I cried every time you hurt me
I'd be cryin' all the time
Oh I'd be cryin' all the time

Is This My Destiny

Helen Carter

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Cursed with sorrow pain and woe
Full of feelin' I can't show
Hopeless love what else for me
Is this my destiny

I know God has surely made
For everyone somewhere a mate
Someone stole my love from me
Is this my destiny

At night I cry and wonder why
I must live while others die
The grave would be escape for me
From this my destiny
[ instrumental ]
At night I cry and wonder why...
From this my destiny

You'd Better Go

Harlan Howard - Wynn Stewart

© Central Songs, BMI

You'd better go each moment that you linger
Makes me forget his ring is on my finger
We love each other but I'm his so we must draw the line
You'd better go before I change my mind

You'd better go for I'm afraid your charms
Will shatter my resistance and I'll end up in your arms
He loves me so and dear you know I hate to be unkind
You'd better go before I change my mind
[ instrumental ]
To keep you here would thrill me beyond measure
But we're not always free to do the things that bring us pleasure
He loves me so and dear you know we'd hate ourselves in time
You'd better go before I change my mind
You'd better go before I change my mind
