All I Ever Need Is You

Jimmie Holiday - Eddie Reeves

© UA Music, ASCAP

Sometimes when I'm down and all alone
I feel just like a child without a home
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on honey
All I ever need is you

You're my first love you're my last
You're my future you're my past
Oh loving you is all I ask honey
All I ever need is you

Winters come and then they go
And we watch the melting snow
Sure as summer follows spring all the things you do
Give me a reason to build me world around you

Some men follow rainbows I am told
Some men search for silver some for gold
But I've found my treasures in your soul oh honey yeah
And all I ever need is you

Without love I'd never find a way
Through ups and downs of every single day
And I won't sleep at night until you say honey
All I ever need is you

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
The love you give me keeps me hanging on honey
All I ever need is you

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
But I found my treasures in your soul honey
All I ever need is you

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la...

Till I Can Make It On My Own

Billy Sherrill - George Richey - Tammy Wynette

© Algee Music, BMI

I'll need time to get you off my mind
And I may sometimes bother you try to be in touch with you
Even ask too much of you from time to time

Now and then Lord you know I'll need a friend
Till I get used to losin' you let me keep on usin' you
Till I can make it on my own

I'll get by but no matter how I try
There'll be times you know I'll call
Chances are my tears will fall
And I'll have no pride at all from time to time

But they say oh there'll be a brighter day
But till then I'll lean on you
That's all I mean to do
Till I can make it on my own

Surely someday I'll look up and see the mornin' sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done
No more hurtin' memories can find me

But till then Lord you know I'm gonna need a friend
Till I get used to losing you let me keep on using you
Till I can make it on my own
Till I can make it on my own

Just The Way You Are

Billy Joel

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Don't go changin' to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore

I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go tryin' some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want no clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
Oh what will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
[ sax ]
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

You Needed Me

Randy Goodrum

© Ironside Music, ASCAP

I cried a tear you wiped it dry
I was confused you cleared my mind
I sold my soul you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me you needed me

I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
I'll never leave why should I leave I'd be a fool
Cause I've finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me friend

You gave me strength to stand alone again...
You needed me you needed me

(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song

Larry Butler - Chips Moman

© Tree Pub, BMI

It's lonely out tonight
And the feelin' just got right
For a brand new love song
Somebody done somebody wrong song

Hey won't you play
Another somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home while I miss my baby
While I miss my baby

So play play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurtin' song about love that's gone wrong
Cause I don't wanna cry all alone

So hey won't you play...
[ sax ]
So play play for me a sad melody...
Hey won't you play...
Somebody done somebody wrong song...
I miss my baby

Together Again

Buck Owens

© Central Songs, BMI

Together again my tears have stopped fallin'
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters now we're together again

Together again the grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms right where you belong
The love that I knew is living again
And nothing else matters girl we're together again

Together again my tears have stopped fallin'
You're back in my arms and we're together again
Oh again

Midnight Flyer

Paul Craft

© Rocky Top Music, BMI

(Oooh midnight flyer
Engineer won't you let your whistle moan
Oooh midnight flyer
I've paid my dues and I feel like travelin' on)

A runaway team of horses ain't enough to make me stay
Throw your ropes on another girl and pull 'em down your way
Make her into someone to take the place of me
Make her every kind of fool you wanted me to be

(Oooh midnight flyer...

Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe maybe to San Antone
Any town is where I'm bound anyway to get me gone
Do not think about me never let me cross your mind
Cept when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle blow

(Oooh midnight flyer...
[ guitar ]
(Oooh midnight flyer...
(Oooh midnight flyer...

You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'

Cynthia Weil - Barry Mann - Phil Spector

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in you fingertips
You're tryin' hard not to show it baby
But baby baby I know it

You've lost that lovin' feelin' oh that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin' now it's gone gone gone
Oh oh oh

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're starting to criticize the little things I do
It makes me just feel like cryin' baby
Cause baby something beautiful's dyin'

You've lost that lovin' feelin' oh that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin' now it's gone gone gone
And I can't go on oh oh oh

Baby baby I get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love love love you don't find every day
So don't don't don't let it slip away

Bring back that lovin' feelin oh that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin' cause it's gone gone gone
And I can't go on oh oh oh

Let's Take The Long Way Around The World

Naomi Martin - Archie Jordan

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

In the daily rush of things
If I stop to think it seems we never have time alone
Doing things we have to do not much time for me and you
Oh we know it it will all be gone

Let's take the long way around the world
Sharing each other as we go
Let's take the long way around the world
And let's take it real slow

I get hungry just to talk take your hand and take a walk
I never have you to myself enough
Two of us are really one and when it's all said and done
The only thing that really lasts is love

Let's take the long way around the world...

Let's take the long way around the world
Let's take it real slow

Let It Be Me

Mike Curtis - Pierre Delanoe - Gilbert Becaud

© Leeds Music, ASCAP

I bless the day I found you I want to stay around you
And so I beg you let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one if you must cling to someone
Now and forever let it be me

Each time we meet love I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me

Each time we meet love I find complete love
Without your sweet sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
And that you'll always let it be me
