Standing In Your Line

Barbara Fairchild

© Duchess Music, BMI

If I could only understand you maybe I could cope
With the loneliness I feel that comes with no hope of keeping you
Cause you're free with your feelings
When it comes to the dealings of your body and your mind
And though I said I wouldn't be just one in a thousand
Here I am standin' in your line

You don't remember their names as you shower them with charm
Never hold them in your heart even though you hold them in your arms
You just pass out your affection
When I came in your direction it must have been my time
And though I hoped I could be different
Something special to you
Here I am standin' in your line

Cause you're free with your feelings
When it comes to the dealings of your body and your mind
And though I hoped I would be different
Something special to you
Here I am standin' in your line
Standin' in your line
Standin' in your line

His Green Eyes

Penni Lane - Barbara Fairchild

© Duchess Music, BMI

I sure love his green eyes
It made your brown eyes blue
He showed me love like I've never known
I learned that love was not the word for the reason I'm with you
Try to understand why I'm leavin' you

Because I love his green eyes
Your brown eyes are blue
But you know babe I never meant to hurt you
Try to think back to yourself when you fell in love with me
And left tear filled blue eyes hurtin' when she set you free

Do for me what you asked her to do
Please do for me what she had to do for you
Let me go set me free I'm beggin' you
For I now love those green eyes
That's makin' your brown eyes blue

Let me go set me free I'm beggin' you
For I now love those green eyes
That's makin' your brown eyes blue

Love For A While

Jerry Crutchfield

© Champion Music, BMI

If you love me for a while you said
Help you get over someone
Be a shelter where you could run
And just love you for a while

So I loved you from the start I did
Hoping you would be forever
Wishing somehow we'd do better
And to have love for a while

Now I've held your hand much too long
I've heard you sing too sweet a song to let you go
And I want you to know that now my life is one big cause
To bring you happiness and make you smile

For I've never known love so sweet you've touched my soul
And my life's complete because of you all my dreams came true
I want you to know my love seems to grow
Since I've had you and I've loved you for a while

Lonely Old Man

Ruby VanNoy - Ann Burn - Barbara Fairchild

© Duchess Music, BMI

Right now you're in your prime and the women come to you
Like a bee you're collecting all the honey that you can
You had better stop to think just what the future holds
You're gonna be a lonely old man

You're gonna be a lonely old man
When you find that life has slipped right through your hands
Like your other loves I'm hurtin' now yet I will love again
But you will be a lonely old man

Life is running through your veins and you are really living
But what happens when the honey's gone and you hold an empty hand
You'll have no one to grow old with to stand by you till the end
You're gonna be a lonely old man

You're gonna be a lonely old man
When you find that life has slipped right through your hands
Like your other loves I'm hurtin' now yet I will love again
But you will be a lonely old man

I Know

Barbara Fairchild

© Duchess Music, BMI

You say you wanna sit and cry
But there's no one to show you how
You're not concerned with knowin' why
All you know is you're lonely now

I know I know
You don't want anyone to see
But you know you know
We have a lot in common you and me

You say you wanna go back home
You've been away much too long
Everyone has left and gone
Till they left you were safe and strong

I know I know
The feeling that you want to die
But you know you know
We have so much in common you and I

You say you only want to live
In a world in which love is found
You think you a lot to give
But there's no one like you around

I know I know
Sometimes it really gets you down
But you know you know
We have each other's love in common now

You're The One I'm Living For

Jerry Crutchfield

© Champion Music, BMI

You're the one I'm leaning on tonight
Only you and what you are could make this moment right
And if I have never told you before
You're the one I want you're the one I'm living for

Skies of blue can always turn to grey
And I know that all too soon a dream can slip away
But I'll still be waiting when you walk in that door baby
Cause you're the one I want you're the one I'm living for

And no matter how far you may wander
And no matter how long you might be gone
I'm gonna wait I'm gonna wait till you come back to me

Take me now and walk with me tonight
Hold me close and let me know everything will be alright
Then you'll know what I've always known before
You're the one I want you're the one I'm living for
You're the one I want you're the one I'm living for

I'm Not Weak I'm A Woman

Penni Lane - Barbara Fairchild

© Songs Of Universal, BMI

You think I'm a baby Cause I'm cryin'
But if you were me I wonder what you'd do
Would you just sit there and do nothing
While your whole world fell to pieces
Could you be strong if I should say I don't love you

I'm not weak I'm a woman
One who just heard you say goodbye
I'm not weak baby I'm a woman
Without your love all I can do is cry

I know if I had any pride about me
I'd not try to keep you when you want to go
But all my pride left with the strain your love gave me
What can I do you took it all and I can't face losin' you

I'm not weak I'm a woman
One who just heard you say goodbye
I'm not weak baby I'm a woman
Without your love all I can do is cry
Without your love all I can do is cry

I Really Don't Want To Know

Don Robertson - Howard Barnes

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go
How many how many I wonder
But I really don't want to know

How many lips have kissed you
And set your heart aglow
How many how many I wonder
Though I really don't want to know

So always make me wonder
Always make me guess
And even if I ask you
Darlin' don't confess

Just let it remain your secret
Cause darlin' I love you so
No wonder no wonder I wonder
But I really don't want to know
No I really don't want to know

Somewhere To Come When It Rains

Red Lane

© Tree Pub, BMI

Too many arms have held you too close
And too many eyes have cried
Too many heartaches are clingin' to you
And most of those heartaches are mine

When your fair-weather love lets you down
And you feel you can't live with your pain
When the sunshine and flowers are gone
I'm somewhere to come when it rains

You had all the lure and the lustre of a diamond
But I've learned that a stone is a stone
As long as it's held in the hand it's warm
But it grows cold when you leave it alone

When your fair-weather love lets you down
And you feel you can't live with your pain
When the sunshine and flowers are gone
I'm somewhere to come when it rains

This Stranger (My Little Girl)

Ruby VanNoy - Ann Burns - Barbara Fairchild

© Duchess Music, BMI

Today for her it's only been thirteen years of livin'
And for me it's been a wonderful thirteen years of givin'
She grows taller every day and farther from my world
God help me reach this stranger my little girl

Music I can't understand replaced her nursery rhymes
No longer can I even guess what's running through her mind
Her long straight hair has forgotten ribbons and soft curls
God please protect this stranger my little girl

Can she hear the worried sound in her mom's conversation
Can she see the anguish in my look of desperation
Can she feel my love for her pulling against her world
I love her so this stranger my little girl

Has she so soon forgotten just how close we used to be
And how when something troubled her she'd always run to me
But mom can't solve her problems she keeps locked inside her world
God help me reach this stranger my little girl

Can she hear the worried sound in her mom's conversation
Can she see the anguish in my look of desperation
Can she feel my love for her pulling against her world
I love her so this stranger my little girl
