You'll Never Know

Mack Gordon - Harry Warren

© Bregman-Vocco-Conn Music, ASCAP

You'll never know just how much I love you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know for haven't I told you so

A million or more times
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
And if there's some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
[ instrumental ]
And if there's some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now

1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero

Bobby Russell

© Russell-Cason Music, BMI

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero
You can see him ever weekend with a car full of kids and snow cones
And the people cross town don't know his name
But on Franklin Pike Circle he's king
He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

Well at 5:35 at the corner of Franklin and Warner
A blue station wagon comes slidin' round the corner
And on down Franklin Pike Circle all you're seein' is a streak of blue
He pulls in the drive at the address of 1432

And he says my head aches and my back aches
And I don't feel like talkin'
They'll wanna go to the show to see Doctor Zhivago
They'll wanna take the dog out walkin'
I wanna sit right here in this easy chair
It's been a jungle all day you know
The 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero is home

He was out pitchin' ball with the kids in the neighborhood yesterday
And the ol' major leaguer had to quit cause he said he threw his arm away
And the kids all hid behind the hedge and laughed at him but wouldn't let it show
Cause they love him so he's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero...

Well he won a little pony at the Here High Action just the other day
And he didn't mean to do it and he wanted to give the pony away
When they called out his name he tried not to claim it
But the kids started cryin' cause they'd already named it
Now who's up ever Saturday mornin' saddlin' his new toy
You guessed it the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle cowboy

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero
And you can see him ever weekend with a car full of kids and snow cones
Durin' Christmas took the kids down to see the floats
When he wanted to stay home and watch the Baltimore Colts
1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

Well the 10:30 news usually finds our hero is a sleepy head
And peters out somewhere rackin' the car and the rest of the kids have gone to bed
So I take his hand and we climb the stairs and he falls asleep
And I bend over him so tenderly to kiss his cheek

Cause I love him so and I'm lucky you know
To be married to the 1432
The 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

It Always Rains On Me

Dave Kirby - Sonny Throckmorton

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

I don't think you've looked back once since you said goodbye
The good times just keep rollin' on they just pass me by
It's not that I don't wish you well but darlin' don't you see
Every time the sun shines down on you it always rains on me

A friend of ours just dropped by and he just made my day
It's good to know some hurtin' news is just a friend away
He says you're happy with your new life and hell bent on stayin' free
Every time the sun shines down on you it always rains on me

It always makes me sad to think of someone new
Turnin' on your sunshine the way I used to do
And it's not that I don't wish you well but darlin' don't you see
Every time the sun shines down on you it always rains on me
Every time the sun shines down on you it always rains on me

Seein' Is Believin'

Glenn Martin

© Tree Pub, BMI

Yesterday started no different than a hundred days before
He reached out and touched me before my feet could touch the cold wood floor
As I lay beside him and the thoughts of the moment filled my mind
Little did I know that I was lovin' him for my last time

But seein' is believin' and believin' is the feelin'
That you feel when the lovin' feelin's gone
Everything we've ever been or anything we'll be again
Packed up his bag and moved along
[ instrumental ]
He had everything I need and he knew exactly how to feed
The hunger that lives inside of me
He controlled the way I feel and each day he touched me where I live
It's hard to believe he's a memory

But seein' is believin' and believin' is the feelin'...
Yes seein' is believin' and believin' is the feelin'...

Poison Red Berries

Mickey Newbury

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I don't think much about him no more
Seldom if ever does he cross my mind
Yesterday's gone it's better forgotten
Like the poison red berries to die on the vine

This mornin' at dawn Lord I pulled into town
Had some coffee and talked with some ole friends of mine
Laughin' at the good times they remembered
Then I remember a time

Lord I can still see the bright lights back in Dallas
As yesterday moves like a dream through my mind
I didn't suppose that I'd ever forget him
And you know it took such a long time

I don't think much about him no more
Seldom if ever does he ever cross my mind
Yesterday's gone it's better forgotten
It's like poison red berries that cling to the mind

Lullaby Of Love

Billy Sherrill - Larry Butler

© Tree Pub, BMI

Hear the breeze in the trees hear the birds softly singin'
And the song that they sing is our lullaby of love

Hear the rain's sweet refrain every raindrop is singin'
And the song that they sing is our lullaby of love

Forever and ever I'll always love you
Forever and ever I'll always love you
[ instrumental ]
Every beat of my heart says I love you I love you I love you
And the song in my heart is our lullaby of love

Forever and ever I'll always love you...

Would You Lay With Me (In A Field Of Stone)

David A. Coe

© Window Music, BMI

Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my needs were strong would you lay with me

Should my lips grow dry would you wet them dear
In the midnight hour if my lips were dry

Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away from my dyin' hand
If I give myself to you

Will you bathe with me in the stream of life
When the moon is full will you bathe with me

Will you still love me when I'm down and out
In my time of trials will you stand by me

Would you go away to another land...
Would you lay with me

The Wedding Song

Jan Howard - Shirley King

© Tree Pub, BMI

With all my heart I love you
With all my love I'll say I do

Well today is finally here all the waiting is over
Today all the yesterdays will be forgotten
And only tomorrows will be in our hearts
Yes today darlin' I'll marry you
And saying I do I'll promise to love honor and cherish you
In sickness and in health for richer or for poorer
For better or for worse and keep myself only for you
Forsaking all others as long as we both shall live
Today I'll kneel beside you and make these promises
Before God and all man kind

With all my heart I love you...

The prayer that will be in my heart this day
Is that I'll always be a good wife to you
And keep you first in my life
To stand never in front of you or behind you
But always by your side
And to give you the trust respect understanding
Devotion and support that you deserve
And in taking your name I give to you myself completely
Heart and mind body and soul
Please accept my love and tend it as you would a precious jewel
And in time to come if you ever doubt me
Please read again this wedding letter that I'm givin' you today
As it's written from my heart To try to explain if I can
Just what being your wife means to me
For today I love you more than I did yesterday
But not as much darlin' as I will tomorrow
And all the tomorrows to come

With all my love I'll say I do

No Rings No Strings

Gary S. Paxton - Ron Hellard

© Reservoir One America, BMI

No rings no strings
But I'll take your fun and laughter
I'll walk in your sunshine I'll sing in your rain
Cause it's only the good times I'm after

Don't try to build a fence around me
Or a golden castle by the shinin' sea
Cause I won't stay
I'm not your book I'm just a page
And I don't belong in a gilded cage
Someday I'll fly away

I never did take to a ring on my finger
I'd rather move on and let the memory linger
Chasin' your fun and laughter
Cause it's only the good times I'm after

No rings no strings...
[ instrumental ]
Don't waste your tear cause it's more than I'm worth
And I could never be your heaven on earth
If I wanted to try
I could only stay for a little while
Till I saw the sunset begin to smile
Sayin' tell him goodbye

Rings have been known to slip offa my finger
Cause I'm just a song that don't need a singer
Chasin' your fun and laughter
Cause it's only the good times I'm after

No rings no strings...
Yes it's only the good times I'm after

Too Much Of A Man (To Be Tied Down)

Larry Kingston

© Window Music, BMI

He's gettin' up now he thinks I'm sleepin'
And in the darkness I can hear him as he tries to dress and never make a sound
He's gonna leave me and I can't stop him
I'm woman enough to know he's too much of a man to be tied down

So I'll just lie here pretend I'm sleepin'
And I'll bite my lip to keep from callin' out and beggin' him to stay around
Oh how I need him we've loved so little
But I'm woman enough to know he's too much of a man to be tied down

It hurts so much now but it was worth it
What love he gave me in the short time fate allotted us I never could have found
My heart is pounding I hear his footsteps
I never knew a turnin' doorknob made such world shakin' kinds of sounds

But wait a minute I hear him breathing
I feel his lips upon my cheek I feel his hands under the bow upon my gown
Could this be happ'ning could I be so lucky
Could I be woman enough to make this much of a man wanna be tied down
