I Wish I Was Still In Your Dreams

Don Cook - John Jarvis

© Tree Pub, BMI

I saw you through a cafe window down on 2nd Avenue
The passage of time sure has been good to you
I was tempted for just a moment to run out in the street
But what do you say when two old lovers meet

You say hello hello how are you
You’re doin' well it seems
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams

I spent a lotta lonely hours starin' at this phone of mine
Knowin' you're just a heart beat down the line
Once I even dialed your number but I couldn’t let it ring
What do you say to a sweet memory

You say hello hello how are you...

In my favorite fantasy
You’re the one who’s missin' me
It all comes back so easily
When I hear you say

You say hello hello how are you...

I wish I was better at bein’ alone
I wish I was still in your dreams

Your Loving Side

John Schweers - Roger Murrah - Carson Whitsett

© Milene Music, ASCAP

You and I have known a love beyond compare
Oh but lately when we reach out there's nothin' there
We seem so far apart face to face cause your great divide
But I'd do anything to get back on your lovin' side

To get back on your loving' side
To get that tender feelin' feelin' right
I'd give my heart to keep our love alive
And be a hero in your blue eyes
To get back on your lovin' side
Where your life's wrapped up in mine
Whoa my heart won't be satisfied
Till I get back on your lovin' side

You know it's a shame that a little rain put out a fire so strong
Now the chilling truth is the warmthness gone
Whoa, and there's a silence now silent words cut deep and wide
And I'll do anything to get back on your lovin' side

To get back on your loving side...

Goodbye Time

Roger Murrah - James Hicks

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

It's your life you say you need a change
Don't all the dreams we’ve seen come true mean anything
You say it's different now you keep starin' at the door
How can you walk away don't I matter anymore

If being free is worth what you'll leave behind
And if it's to late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time

If we had known our love would come to this
We could have saved our heart the hurt of wasted years
Well it's been fun what else can I say
If the feelings gone words won't stop you anyway

If being free is worth what you'll leave behind....

If You Were Mine To Lose

Mickey Jaco

© Wilderness Music, BMI

If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Cause that would mean you once belonged to me
I'd gladly face the heartache of losing you some day
Cause then at least I'd have a memory

Through all the years I've known you you've never noticed me
Just a friend that's all I've been to you
I'd gladly let you break my heart for just one memory
Just to know that you were mine to lose

If I could only hold you just one time
For one short moment heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose
[ piano ]
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose

Throwing Good Love After Bad

Michael Heeney - Mike Anthony

© Window Music, BMI

By now others would have quit
Throw the towel in and admit it's over
And maybe I will yet
Cause your love couldn't get any colder

Still somehow I can't astop believing
One day we'll again have what we had
Though I should find someone new I keep on lovin' you
Throwing good love after bad

I watched you as you changed
As your love grew as strange as your kisses
And the more and more it hurt
I thought it couldn't get no worse ah but it is

Anybody else would stop and find another
Face the truth and never once look back
And I pray someday I will but as it is I'm still
Throwing good love after bad

I know somewhere somebody out there's waitin' on me
With just as good a love as I have
And someday that love I'll find and I'll stop wastin' mine
Throwing good love after bad

And someday that love I'll find and I'll stop wastin' mine
Throwing good love after bad

Saturday Night Special

Dewayne Blackwell - Larry Bastian

© Jobete Music, ASCAP

I was there to buy a pistol she was there to hock her ring
The broker in that pawn shop deals in almost anything
He'll pay you for your mis'ry or he'll sell you someone's pain
And that twinkle in his greedy eyes says you'll also be his game

She stood back in the shadows as the broker dealt with me
Her eyes were dark and desperate from some private misery
His words were so prophetic when he said you've got a steal
I said throw in one bullet and you got yourself a deal

Oh a Saturday night special is an easy thing to buy
All you gotta be is twenty-one or fifteen if you lie
Just hand the man the money and if someone's gotta die
The broker in the pawn shop won't even blink an eye

Well he handed me the pistol and I was almost to the door
When I heard him tell the lady seven dollars nothing more
The lady started cryin' as he took her wedding band
Well my hand was in my pocket and the gun was in my hand

I was gonna use that bullet to end my life
I was once somebody's husband she was once somebody's wife
I usually mind my business but I could not walk away
His dollars just weren't making sense and I knew I had to stay

Well the broker's face turned pasty when he caught my icy stare
It would never leave my pocket but he knew the gun was there
I asked him what his life was worth and he opened up that drawer
For a simple golden weddin' band he bid two-thousand more

Oh that Saturday night was special even though it wasn't planned
As we walked down the sidewalk she reached and took my hand
And we crossed a bridge and I took that gun and sailed it through the air
I said you ever been to Texas she said I think I'd love it there

Oh a Saturday night special is an easy thing to buy
All you gotta be is twenty-one or fifteen if you lie
There's a pawn shop in the city used to deal in everything
But you can't buy a pistol there and you can't hock your weddin' ring

I Don't Remember Going Crazy

Dave Robbins - Larry Keith

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

I walked in and there you sat
I wanted you there was no holding back
Those innocent eyes the way you laughed
You touched me I seem to remember that

But I don’t remember going crazy
Somehow I lost control
What was that song they were playing
I remember dancin' slow
And I was holding you so tightly
Somethin' I just had to do
I don’t remember going crazy
But I did for you
[ guitar ]
No secrets no room for lies
We shared so much in so little time
That’s why they say love is blind
It was the last thing on my mind

But I don’t remember going crazy...

They Only Come Out At Night

Walt Aldridge - Lisa Palas - John Jarrard

© Colgems Music, ASCAP

I've see you out with your in-crowd
Holdin' somebody and laughin' loud
That was me you know who's eyes were burning through you
When someone rings you late at night
But no one says hello at the end of your line
That was me you know breathing warm in your ear

All day I do fine
Those sweet old mem'ries never cross my mind
Oh oh they only come out at night

When you look out your window and it's three o'clock
Some fool's ridin' round and round your block
That's me you know drivin' myself crazy
And when you hear a rustle and the backdoor squeaks
Turn off the lights and go back to sleep
That's me you know haunted by what used to be

All day I do fine...
All day I do fine...
Oh oh they only come out at night

Jenny's Souvenirs

Don Henry - Billy Swan

© Tree Pub, BMI

Exchanging yes I do
Forever's coming true
Two needing hearts unite
Captured in black and white

Gathered on yellowed walls
Sixty years says it all
The loving the laughter still after years
Are kept alive in Jenny's souvenirs

Tickets from picture show
Dried roses Christmas bow
Keepsakes from country fairs
Stocked up her vintage wears

She'd never throw them out
Things they could live without
He'd kid her and tell her you're silly dear
And he would laugh at Jenny's souvenirs

Shines on his shaking hand
That ageless wedding band
Reminds him and finds him without her near
And now he lives on Jenny's souvenirs
He gets by on Jenny's souvenirs

When You're Cool (The Sun Shines All The Time)

Gary Nicholson - Kevin Welch - Hank DeVito

© Almo Music, ASCAP

Saturday night on Beale Street
The old man's playin' the blues
He made the guitar talk he did the duckwalk
Two-tone wing tipped shoes
He wore midnight black sunglasses
The hippest I've ever seen
The man wasn't blind he was givin' the eye
To every little sweet young thing
I stepped over and I asked him why
He wore his sunglasses late at night
He said when you're cool boy the sun shines all the time

When you're cool the sun shines all the time
You can shuffle right through that rainstorm
And don't you pay it no never mind
It's got a lot to do with the attitude
Of leavin' the blues behind
When you're cool boy the sun shines all the time

I went out and found me some wrap arounds
I wear ‘em both day and night
Just my size polarized
The future is lookin' bright
I'm beginning to see the good side
Of everything that comes my way
Hey steppin' out of the shadow of doubt
The clouds have rolled away
So put on a new frame of mind
And everything will work out fine
When you're cool boy the sun shines all the time

When you're cool the sun shines all the time
Well you can shuffle right through that rainstorm
But don't you pay it no never mind
It's got a lot to do with your attitude
Of leavin' the blues behind
When you're cool boy the sun shines all the time

When you're cool boy the sun shines all the time yeah
