Mississippi

Werner Theunissen

© Al Gallico Music, BMI

Where you can hear a country song for fun
And someone plays a honky tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out one by one
Where people join the song and the wind takes it away

Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea
And lovers found the place they like to be
How many times before this song was ending
Love and understanding everywhere around

Mississippi I'll remember you
Whenever I shall go away I'll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
Mississippi you'll be on my mind
Every time I hear this song Mississippi roll along
Until the end of time
[ instrumental ]
Now the country song forever lost its soul
When the guitar picker turned to rock'n roll
And every time the summer nights are falling
I always will be calling dreams of yesterday

Mississippi I'll remember you...

Let Me Love You Once Before You Go

Molly Ann Leikin - Steve Dorff

© Almo Music, ASCAP

It's like looking in the window of a fine boutique
Knowing there is nothing I could ever buy
Still I want your love so much that I could die
But I just can't lead a double life
Being one man's lover one man's wife

But you can start a fire raging just by touching me
Even though I know we're not supposed to touch
Oh I never wanted anyone so much
How I wish that I had found you first
Don't you see my heart's about to burst

Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep saying yes to me so don't keep saying no
Let me love you once and then you'll see
No one's ever gonna love you more than me
[ instrumental ]
Let me lock the door and open all my love to you
All the love I've longed to give you since we met
It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get
And I just can't let it disappear
Oh my darling please come over here

Let me love you once before you go...
No one's ever gonna love you more than me

Under Your Spell Again

Buck Owens - Dusty Rhodes

© Central Songs, BMI

I swore the last time you let me down
That I wouldn't see you if you came around
But I can't tell my heart what's right or wrong
And I've been so lonely since you've been gone

You've got me under your spell again
Saying those things again
Making me believe you're just mine
You've got me dreaming those dreams again
Thinking those things again
I've gotta take you back just one more time

Everybody tells me I'm just a fool
That I never should have put my faith in you
And way down deep inside I guess I know it's true
But no one else can make me feel the way you do

You've got me under your spell again...
Yes I've gotta take you back just one more time

You Are Always There

Bobby Springfield

© Warner House Of Music, BMI

I love to say your name even when you're not around
I just love the way it sounds it's music to me
I love to dream of you even when I'm not asleep
Baby your love just keeps gettin' deeper in me

And darlin' you are always there
No matter where I am you're never far away from me
And baby you are always there
You're everywhere and you've become a part of me
[ instrumental ]
When I have to leave your side you know it doesn't worry me
I've got your love inside of me each and every day
When I have to face the world you know I feel so secure
Cause baby I know for sure you're with me all the way

And darlin' you are always there...

Touch My Heart

Johnny Paycheck - Aubrey Mayhew

© Dream City Music, BMI

Touch my heart feel the hurt it's destroying me
I've tried but I can't seem to shake his memory
Touch my heart feel the hurt the pain and misery
And tell me again what love can do for me

If you lived in my world awhile
You'd soon forget how to smile
Cause in my world there's a million ways to cry
If you had my eyes you could see
How someone changed my destiny
I'm a girl who can't live and yet can't die

Touch my heart feel the hurt it's destroying me...

Cheatin' Is

Rafe VanHoy

© Tree Pub, BMI

Cheatin' is a thing that starts when you bring
Two lonely people face to face with a brand new kiss
She blames him he blames her
But neither one is ever quite sure which way it really is
And all of the time in the back of their minds
They know they're gonna have to lie about where they've been
Cheatin' is a thing that'll take a little ring
And break it into pieces that'll never go together again

Cheatin' is the part of lovin' that starts
When true love isn't what lovers are looking for
A stranger here a stranger there then you turn around and swear
That you'll never go back for more
And lying at night when you're holding him tight
Is sometimes that a cheater's heart just has to learn
Cheatin' is a thing that's guaranteed to bring
Two unhappy people to the point of no return
[ instrumental ]
The worst of cheatin' is the sad little kids
Hangin' in the middle while mommy and daddy choose
Cheatin' is a game where nobody wins
And the ones that aren't big enough to play are the ones who lose

Music Of Love

Harlan Sanders

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

You're a walking daydream and when you hold me this way
Something tells me you're more than a friend
Cause I can hear music play
Maybe in the midnight hours a miracle might occur
You just might fall in love with me
And hear a song that you've never heard

You'll hear the music of love I'll sing it to you
Every morning and night
As long as I'm living
You'll hear the music of love coming out of your heart
You'll know I put it there
And you'll know that I meant it
For you love me and you boy
And the music you'll hear with your heart don't you hear
Is the music of love

We were never strangers I knew I'd meet you someday
I knew I'd find somebody like you and now you won't get away
Can't you feel our hearts beat in two-part harmony
All through the night the music you'll hear is love's own melody

You'll hear the music of love I'll sing it to you...
It's the music of love it's the music of love the music of love

Did It Rain

Tony Colton - Raymond Smith

© Island Music, BMI

She slips off softly in the early morning rain
Upon a hillside for a place to hide her pain
Breaking the cobwebs from the branches of the pine
Asking forgiveness for me and my short time

And did it rain and did it rain
And is there such a place called empty
And did it rain and did it rain
And is there such a place called time
Left on your mind

I know the writer of the songs she sadly sings
She rides a pony and her cape flies in the wind
Shaking the dewdrops from the branches of the corn
She rides to keep her strange appointment with the dawn

And did it rain and did it rain...
[ instrumental ]
And did it rain and did it rain...

What You Left My Memory

Linda Hargrove

© Window Music, BMI

I knew when it was over it'd take a little time
To forget about you and get you off my mind
I've been waitin' patiently for feelings to pass on
But what you left my mem'ry won't leave my heart alone

I knew my heart was broken but I thought it would mend
And given just a little time I'd learn to love again
I shouldn't worry but it's takin' me so long
And what you left my mem'ry won't leave my heart alone

Everytime I find someone I'd like to get to know
Your mem'ry whispers to my heart and tells it no tells it no
I still believe I'll make it but now I wonder when
It's hard to let another take the place that you were in
Funny how a feeling can linger on and on
What you left my mem'ry won't leave my heart alone
Yeah what you left my mem'ry won't leave my heart alone

Let Jesse Rob This Train

Barbara Cummings

© Sawgrass Music, BMI

There ain't nothin' worse than bein' alone
So Jesse I think it's time you come home
You've done all your ramblin' your ridin’ and gamblin'
You've sung your sad songs you've told a few rhymes
But Jesse you know we had it fine
We shared some good love shared some hard times
And I loved how you'd take away my pain
You'd smile and you'd say let ol' Jesse rob this train
But Jesse the train she's run out of track
There's no place to go no turnin' back
And the storm in my heart is causing such pain
You'd better come home let ol' Jesse rob this train
Oh Jesse come home
Jesse come home to me

Outlaw don't you think you've done all you can do
Don't you think it's time you come home to someone who loves you
Jesse the train she's run out of track
There's no place to go and no turnin' back
Jesse I think it's startin' to rain
You'd better come home let ol' Jesse rob this train
Oh Jesse come home
Jesse come home to me
