What A Dream

Chuck Willis

© Berkshire Music, BMI

(Dream dream dream dream dream)

Woke up this morning and I looked around
So disappointed I laid back down
Oh what a dream oh what a dream I had last night

Dreamed that I held you in my arms
But I'm still waiting for that day to come
Oh what a dream oh what a dream I had last night

Dreamed we were walking down the aisle
The organ was playing Here Comes the Bride
You looked up at me you began to smile
When I looked around everybody began to cry

I opened my eyes and you weren't there
All of my happiness just disappeared
Oh what a dream oh what a dream I had last night
Oh what a dream oh what a dream I had last night
Oh what a dream oh what a dream

Don't You Dare Let Me Down

Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman

© Unichappell Music, BMI

Don't you dare let me down don't you dare let me down
Don't you dare let me down hey don't you dare let me down

I'm so mad about you I can't live without you
And I would never doubt you don't you dare let me down

Take me anywhere sweetie I don't care
As long as you are there hey don't you dare let me down

Everytime you say that you're goin' away
You know my heart keeps believin' that you'll come back someday
And be here still by my side keepin' me satisfied
Don't you run away and hide hey don't you dare let me down
Don't you dare let me down
[ guitar ]
Everytime you say that you're goin' away...

Uh huh don't you dare let me down
Oh baby don't you dare let me down
Won't you hear me now don't you dare let me down
I said now don't you dare let me down
Oh baby don't you dare let me down

A Million Teardrops

Fred Carter

© Tree Pub, BMI

Well I picked up my baby at the usual time last night
It was one of those nights when nothing seemed to turn out right
Guess I did something wrong she made me take her home
She gave me back my ring and then she said goodbye
Now there are millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes

I know I shouldn't worry she’s done the same thing before
But every time she leaves me it hurts me more and more
I thought that I was tough and all that stuff
I even said that no one could ever make me cry
Now there are millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes

I couldn’t keep the tears from flowing
I couldn’t keep the pain from showing
Nothing I did seem to help at all the tears fell like a waterfall
[ strings ]
All day long I try to get her out of my mind
But nothing seems to help because I think about her all of the time
This heartbreak is something I can't take
I gotta find that girl and make her realize
And stop these millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes
And stop these millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes
And stop these millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes

The Next Kiss (Is The Last Goodbye)

Buddy Kaye - David Hill - Ethel Lee

© Plan Two Music, ASCAP

Time to say goodbye I know I've said it before
Though I hate to go I can't be hurt anymore
You've never seen me with a tear in my eye
The next kiss is the last goodbye

When I'm not around there's someone else you can call
Half a love is worse than havin' nothin' at all
I needed your love and darlin' that's why
The next kiss is the last goodbye

No more holding hands no more whispering words tenderly
Know it breaks my heart there's no way for me

Time to say goodbye is nothing else that I can do
Wish you all the luck with your somebody knew
If I said I'd forget I'd be telling a lie
The next kiss is the last goodbye
Just one more kiss and then baby goodbye

I'm In The Blue Blue Mood

Roy Orbison - Joe Melson

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I'm in the blue blue mood now that you're gone oh wee
I'm in the blue blue mood it's been a lonesome day
I'm in the blue blue mood I see you everywhere
I reach out to hold you but you're not there
It's just my blue blue mood

Maybe someday love will come and stay
And things will turn out right oh oh oh but for tonight
I'm in the blue blue mood

I'm in the blue blue mood I feel you everywhere
I turn around to talk to you but you're not there
It's just my blue blue mood

I'm in the blue blue mood I'm in the blue blue mood
I'm in the blue blue mood

Tower Of Tears

Conway Twitty

© Marielle Music, BMI

As I turn back the pages of time
And once more you're in my heart and on my mind
They're unchanged by the passing of years
All alone stands the tower of tears

Just a wooden frame and one old rusty bell
With a million sad stories to tell
Hidden there neath the rock and the rill
We pledges our love neath the tower of tears

But as time passed on I started losing you
And now you are gone what am I gonna do

Now the tower bell refuses to chime
Cause somehow it knows that you're no longer mine
It shared our secrets down through the years
Now I'm alone neath the tower of tears

Turn Around

Carl Perkins

© Hi-Lo Music, BMI

Turn your pretty face to mine
Lift your pretty eyes from the ground
I forgive you every way oh turn around turn around

Though you left me for a new love
And your new love turn you down
I forgive you every way oh turn around turn around

Though I've been hurt yes and I've been blue
But I've never turned my back on you

Turn your pretty face to mine...

Walk On By

Kendall Hayes

© Lowery Music, BMI

If I see you tomorrow on some street in town
Pardon me if I don't say hello
I belong to another and it doesn't look so good
To know someone I'm not supposed to know

Just walk on by wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet
Just walk on by wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet
[ guitar ]
In a dimly lit corner at a place outside of town
Tonight we'll try to say goodbye again
But I know it's not over I'll call tomorrow night
I can't let you go so why pretend

Just walk on by wait on the corner...

Portrait Of A Fool

Buddy Killen - Louis Innis - Billy Riley

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Paint two eyes uh make them cry
Paint two lips uh make them lies
And you're painting the portrait of a fool

Paint one heart that's been untrue
Paint one soul uh make it blue
And your painting the portrait of a fool

There are some things that look so familiar
Strange what this resemblance can be
And now as I look in the mirror I know
I know the fool you are painting is me

Paint one tear uh let it fall
Paint two hands that once held it all
And you've painted a portrait of a fool
