Every Time Two Fools Collide

Jeff Tweel - Jan Dyer

© Window Music, BMI

You want things your way and I want them mine
And now we don't know just where you draw the line
How can love survive if we keep choosin' side
Who picks up the pieces every time two fools collide

You lay the blame on me and I put blame on you
Why do we keep finding faults in everything you do
But how long can we keep right and wrong so cut and dry
And who picks up the pieces every time two fools collide

We can save our love we still have the time
I know there must be a way we still haven't tried
To keep our hearts from breaking every time two fools collide
To keep our hearts from breaking every time two fools collide

You And Me

Roger Bowling - Larry Butler

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Ain't it good babe you and me
We sailed the stormy waters we calmed the angry seas
We knew we could babe you and me
Just as long as we had you and me

What more could a man want than a woman there beside him
To hold his hand and understand
That every day is not the same sometimes it's gonna rain
You are my sunshine and I'm your man

Ain't it good babe you and me...

What more could a woman want than a man there beside her
Through the bad times we had good times
You've always been a pillow a shoulder and a friend
And I thank God that you are mine

Ain't it good babe you and me...
Ain't it good babe you and me...
Ain't it good babe you and me...

What's Wrong With Us Today

Larry Butler - Kenny Rogers - Dottie West

© Blackwood Music, BMI

We spend a lot of time thinkin' 'bout yesterday
Remembering it was fun
Recalling the moments those precious moments
The two of us were one

Sometimes I catch our faces staring through wide open spaces
Wondering what tomorrow's gonna say
And yesterday was fun but we'll never see tomorrow
If we don't find what's wrong with us today

As I hold this photograph back then we used to laugh
But I see something now I've never seen
The mountain's behind us now there's so much more behind us
All I ever saw before was you and me

Will there be happiness or sorrow as we go into tomorrow
I'm hoping now that we can find our way
Yesterday was fun but we'll never see tomorrow
If we don't find what's wrong with us today

And if I'm half the man I've always claimed to be
There oughta be somethin' more that I can do
If I'm the woman I wanna be I'd give a little more of myself
You'd get a little more from me

I know there's happiness and sorrow going into tomorrow
But I'm hopin' now that we can find our way
And yesterday was fun but we'll never see tomorrow
If we don't find what's wrong with us today

Beautiful Lies

Milton Brown - Kenny Rogers - Marianne Gordon

© Peso Music, BMI

A thing of beauty a joy forever
Now that's what I've always heard
But talk is cheap and now I'm learning
Your love is only a word

Looking so pretty you're talking so gentle
Of a time you were breaking my heart
And like the rose and the thorn we're tied together
But now we're drifting apart

We told such beautiful lies
Tearing two people apart
We told such beautiful lies
But look what we've done to our hearts

First it was magic now it's just tragic
Funny how love slips away
I guess I'll stop trying I've finally stopped crying
We've run out of reasons to stay

We tell such beautiful lies
Tearing two people apart
We tell such beautiful lies
But look what we've done to our hearts

When you tell such beautiful lies
You tear two people apart
We told such beautiful lies
But look what we've done to our hearts

That's The Way It Could Have Been

Tammy Wynette

© Altam Music, BMI

I was so excited when you asked if I could go
But mama said I'd have to ask my daddy
I met him at the front door so afraid that he'd say no
But he smiled and said let mama get you ready

In your cotton shirt and faded jeans you came for me
And the gingham dress was all I had to wear
With a dollar in your pocket and a borrowed car
You picked a yellow daisy for my hair

That's the way it could have been
That's the way it should have been
If I had met you way back then
That's the way it would have been

I put away my gingham for a pretty dress of white
And you wore a suit instead of faded jeans
Our wedding day was perfect and we loved away the night
Life was filled with lots of dreams

We bought a house upon a hill outside of town
And two young people finally settled in
And you just won't believe the little children running round
And they pick yellow daisies now and then

That's the way it could have been...

If I had met you way back then
That's the way it would have been

Why Don't We Go Somewhere And Love

Kenny O'Dell - Larry Henley

© House Of Gold Music, BMI

I don't wanna read the paper this morning
I don't wanna hear no busy city sounds
So many things so much more important
And they're the only things worth thinkin' about

Why don't we go somewhere and love
It's been a long long time
Why don't we just go somewhere and love
And leave the whole world behind

Why don't we just lay down what we're doing
We don't need a reason nor a rhyme
Don't take the time to stop and think about it
If we talk too much we might just change our minds

So why don't we go somewhere and love...
Why don't we go somewhere and love...

Baby I'm A Want You

David Gates

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

Baby I'm a want you baby I'm a need you
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm crazy but I just can't live without

Your lovin' and affection givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through the darkest hour
Lately I'm prayin' that you'll always be a stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

Lately I'm praying that you'll always be a staying here beside me

Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
You taught me why

Baby I'm a want you baby I'm a need you...

Anyone Who Isn't Me Tonight

Casey Kelly - Julie Didier

© Bobby Goldsboro Music, ASCAP

When you made love to me tonight I felt as if I'd died and gone to heaven
And if that's how it feels to die then lay me in your arms I'm through with livin'
I'll get down on my knees and thank the good Lord up above
That I'm the lucky girl you chose to love

And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
So if you think I'm braggin' well you're right
Your love has sent me flyin' and I'm higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight

You've got the kinda body that was made to give a man a lotta pleasure
But what you've givin' me tonight is more than anything on earth can measure
Every inch of you that's woman makes me that much more a man
I've just about enjoyed all I can stand

I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight...
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight...

The Loving Gift

Kris Kristofferson

© Combine Music, BMI

You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
You gave me a song I've learned to sing
You showed me some beauty through the windows of your soul
And you showed me a world I've never seen

Each giving to the other loving giving it away
We spent the precious time we knew was borrowed
And you gave me the courage to live with yesterday
And you gave me tomorrow

You gave me a candle to light my way to bed
You erased the shadows I'd been seein'
You brought me a pillow to rest my weary head
And you taught me a gentle way of dreamin'

And even if you leave me I'll be richer than before
Just living with the loving gift you gave me
Cause you gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
And you gave me a baby

We Love Each Other

Buddy Killen

© Tree Pub, BMI

They ask me how we do it and I tell them we love each other
There's really nothing to it it's easy we love each other so
And we always will I know we found it far ago
And now we're sure that it's the kind to last forever

They ask me can we make it and I tell them we love each other
If there's trouble can we take it and I tell them we love each other more
Than we ever have before and they should know
When they ask us how we do it we just tell them we love each other so
[ instrumental ]
We love each other
[ instrumental ]
We love each other more
Than we ever have before and they should know
When they ask us how we do it we just tell them we love each other so
