Biography[link]
Musical beginnings[link]
James Hugh Loden was born to Archie Lee 'Pop' Loden and Della Burleson Loden ,[1] who operated a 300 acres (120 ha) farm outside Hackleburg, Alabama. His parents were amateur musicians, and his sister Thelma Lee Loden Holcombe also played instruments and sang from an early age. By age three he was playing a mandolin and singing. In 1933 the family appeared on a radio audition which resulted in their being offered a regular Saturday slot on Muscle Shoals, Alabama radio station WMSD-AM. About this time the parents volunteered to raise an Alabama girl named Ruby Palmer, and soon Ruby was also part of the musical group, and the singing Loden Family, later billed as Sonny Loden and the Southerners, was soon playing theaters, auditoriums and schoolhouses throughout the Southern United States.
To this point the musical appearances had been a part-time effort for the family, as they returned after each gig or tour to work the family farm. After a few years the father decided they were professional enough to immerse themselves into the field full-time, so the father leased out the farm and they took a daily spot on radio station KLCN, where they provided early-morning accompaniment for the area's early-risers. After that they had spots on several other radio stations around the South. In 1949 they returned to Alabama, with a show on radio station WSGN in Birmingham, Alabama. Near Christmastime that year, the two girls were married in West Memphis, Arkansas in a double ceremony[1] and left the group. The parents found other girls to take their place, but the group soon fell apart (the parents returned to Hackleburg and opened a clothing store, where James worked while belatedly finishing his final year of high school).[1] During the summer of 1950 James worked with a band, sometimes singing but he was most useful as a guitar player[1] on the Memphis, Tennessee radio station WHBQ, but that was interrupted near the end of the summer when James' National Guard unit was activated to participate in the Korean War. On September 9, 1950 his Alabama Army National Guard unit was sent to Korea, returning home in the fall of 1951.[2] Loden was honorably discharged and moved to Nashville, Tennessee where he signed with Capitol Records with the help of Chet Atkins, with whom he had previously roomed.[1] The company asked him to drop his last name professionally as they believed there were already several musicians named Loden, Louden or Luden, and that "James" would be easier to remember: "The smallest children can remember Sonny James." [1] sohe released his first studio record as Sonny James.
While appearing on Louisiana Hayride he met musician Slim Whitman. James' performance on stage playing a fiddle and singing brought a strong crowd response, and Whitman invited him to front for his new touring band.[1] James stayed with Whitman's group for only two months as he felt uncomfortable playing in bars and areas full of smoke and alcohol, saying that his family had only appeared in schoolhouses and such.[1] Over the next few years, he had several songs that did reasonably well on the country music charts and he continued to develop his career with performances at live country music shows. He also appeared on radio, including Big D Jamboree, before moving to the all-important new medium, television, where he became a regular performer on ABC's Ozark Jubilee in Springfield, Missouri beginning in October 1955.[3]
Top of the charts[link]
In late 1956 James released "Young Love", a 45 rpm single for which he would forever be remembered. As the first teenage country crossover single, it topped both the US country and pop music charts in January 1957. Record sales could have been higher if Capitol Records had anticipated the exposure on popular-music charts; they had ordered only enough copies of the record to satisfy the anticipated country-music demand, and were therefore unable to supply most of the requests for records.[1] The track peaked at No. 11 in the UK Singles Chart.[4] It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.[5] Dubbed the Southern Gentleman because of his polite demeanor, he gained more exposure with an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show. After leaving Capitol Records for the first time in 1959, James signed with National Recording Corporation. His career also included stints with Dot (1960–1961), RCA (1961–1962), his second stint with Capitol (1963–1972), Columbia (1972–1979), Monument (1979), and Dimension (1981–1983).
He went on to a long and highly-successful career, and in 1962 he became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. From 1964 to 1972 he was a dominant force in country music. He was a guest on the Bob Hope Show and Hee Haw, and made minor appearances in several Hollywood motion pictures. In 1969 Billboard magazine named him Artist of the Year. In 1971, James made a special music recording for the crew of Apollo 14, who later presented him with one of the small American flags that they had carried to the Moon.[1]
No. 1 streak[link]
Beginning in 1967 with "Need You" and ending with "Here Comes Honey Again" in 1971, James recorded 16 straight No. 1 country singles of his 72 verified chart hits. His career No. 1 one total was 23, the last coming with 1974's "Is It Wrong (For Loving You)". During this time James also helped launch the solo career of Marie Osmond, producing her first three albums, including the 1973 smash hit, "Paper Roses".
The No. 1 streak record, however, is a point of contention. Country supergroup Alabama surpassed James' record in 1985 with their 17th No. 1 song, "Forty Hour Week (For a Livin')", but the dispute stems from their 1982 Christmas single, "Christmas in Dixie". The song peaked at 35 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in January 1983, during what could be considered a streak of 21 No. 1 songs. Some sources, such as Joel Whitburn's "Top Country Songs: 1944-2005," disregard non-No. 1 Christmas singles in determining chart-topping streaks, and consider Alabama to have surpassed the record; others, however, including the Alabama Music Hall of Fame , state that the failure of "Christmas in Dixie" snapped Alabama's streak before it could achieve parity with James' 16.[citation needed]
Personal life[link]
In 1957 James married Doris in Dallas, Texas.[1]
In 1983, James retired to his home with Doris in Nashville, Tennessee. He came home to Hackleburg during the Neighbor Day Festival on April 25, 2009 and recognized the 100th birthday of the town of Hackleburg on the main stage during the festival.[citation needed]
Recognition[link]
For his contribution to the music industry, in 1971 James received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6630 Hollywood Blvd., and in 1987 he was inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. In 2006 James was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum,[6] and appeared on television for the first time in nearly 20 years to accept his induction during the Country Music Association Awards on November 6, 2006. In 2009 Sonny James was inducted into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame.

Bob Hope, KBE, KCSG, KSS (born Leslie Townes Hope; May 29, 1903 – July 27, 2003) was an English-born American comedian and actor who appeared in vaudeville, on Broadway, and in radio, television and movies. He was also noted for his work with the US Armed Forces and his numerous USO shows entertaining American military personnel.[2] Throughout his long career, he was honored for his humanitarian work. In 1996, the U.S. Congress honored Bob Hope by declaring him the "first and only honorary veteran of the U.S. armed forces." Bob Hope appeared in or hosted 199 known USO shows.[3]

Early years[link]
Hope was born in Eltham, London, England, the fifth of seven sons. His English father, William Henry Hope, was a stonemason from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, and his Welsh mother, Avis Townes, was a light opera singer from Barry who later worked as a cleaning woman. She married William Hope in April 1891 and the couple set up home at 12 Greenwood Street in the town, then moved to Whitehall and St George in Bristol, before eventually moving to Cleveland, Ohio in 1908. The family emigrated to the United States aboard the SS Philadelphia, and passed inspection at Ellis Island on March 30, 1908.[4] Hope became a U.S. citizen in 1920 at the age of 17.[5] In a 1942 legal document, Hope's legal name is given as Lester Townes Hope.[6] His name on the Social Security Index is also listed as Lester T. Hope.[7] His name as registered at birth was Leslie Towns [sic] Hope. [8]
From the age of 12, Hope worked at a variety of odd jobs at a local boardwalk. He would busk,[9] doing dance and comedy patter to make extra money (frequently on the trolley to Luna Park). He entered many dancing and amateur talent contests (as Lester Hope),[9] and won prizes for his impersonation of Charlie Chaplin. Hope also boxed briefly and unsuccessfully under the name Packy East (after the popular Packey McFarland), once making it to the semifinals of the Ohio novice championship.[10][11]
In 1918, at the age of 15, Hope was admitted (as Lester Hope) to the Boys Industrial School in Lancaster, Ohio.[12] Formerly known as the Ohio Reform School, this was one of the more innovative, progressive institutions for juvenile offenders. As an adult, Hope donated sizable sums of money to the institution.[13]
Silent film comedian Fatty Arbuckle saw one of Hope's performances with his first partner, Lloyd "Lefty" Durbin, and in 1925 got the pair steady work with Hurley's Jolly Follies. Within a year, Hope had formed an act called the Dancemedians with George Byrne and the Hilton Sisters, conjoined twins who had a tap dancing routine. Hope and his partner, George Byrne, had an act as a pair of Siamese twins as well, and both danced and sang while wearing blackface, before friends advised Hope that he was funnier as himself.[14] In 1929, he changed his first name to "Bob". In one version of the story, he named himself after racecar driver Bob Burman. In another, he said he chose Bob because he wanted a name with a friendly "Hiya, Fellas!" sound to it. After five years on the vaudeville circuit, by his own account, Hope was surprised and humbled when he and his partner (and future wife) Grace Louise Troxell failed a 1930 screen test for Pathé at Culver City, California.
Career[link]
Film[link]
Main article: Bob Hope filmography
Hope, like other stage performers, made his first films in New York. Educational Pictures employed him in 1934 for a short-subject comedy, Going Spanish. Hope sealed his fate with Educational when Walter Winchell asked him about the film. Hope cracked, "When they catch John Dillinger, they're going to make him sit through it twice."[15] Educational fired him, but he was soon before the cameras at New York's Vitaphone studio starring in 20-minute comedies and musicals from 1934 through 1936, beginning with Paree, Paree (1934).
Paramount Pictures signed Hope for the 1938 film The Big Broadcast of 1938, also starring W. C. Fields. During a duet with Shirley Ross as accompanied by Shep Fields and his orchestra, Hope introduced the song later to become his trademark, "Thanks for the Memory", which became a major hit and was praised by critics. The sentimental, fluid nature of the music allowed Hope's writers (whom he is said to have depended upon heavily throughout his career[16]) to later invent endless variations of the song to fit specific circumstances, such as bidding farewell to troops while on tour.
Hope became one of Paramount's biggest stars, and would remain with the studio through the 1950s. Hope's regular appearances in Hollywood films and radio made him one of the best known entertainers in North America, and at the height of his career he was also making a large income from live concert performances. He was both a world-class singer and dancer, introducing many major songs during the course of his career, including the Oscar-winning "Buttons and Bows" in The Paleface (1948), his biggest hit song by far, and he matched James Cagney's bravura dancing during the tabletop showdown sequence in The Seven Little Foys (1955).
As a movie star, he was best known for comedies like My Favorite Brunette and the highly successful "Road" movies in which he starred with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. Hope had seen Lamour as a nightclub singer in New York, and invited her to work on his USO tours. Lamour is said to have arrived for filming prepared with her lines, only to be baffled by completely re-written scripts from Hope's writers without studio permission. Hope and Lamour were lifelong friends, and she remains the actress most associated with his film career. The series consists of Road to Singapore (1940), Road to Zanzibar (1941), Road to Morocco (1942), Road to Utopia (1946), Road to Rio (1947), Road to Bali (1952), and The Road to Hong Kong (1962). Hope's other leading ladies included Paulette Goddard, Katharine Hepburn, Hedy Lamarr, Lucille Ball, Jane Russell, Betty Grable, Betty Hutton, Arlene Dahl, Rosemary Clooney, Eva Marie Saint, Rhonda Fleming, Lana Turner, Anita Ekberg, and Elke Sommer.
Hope's informal teaming with the famous Bing Crosby for the seven "Road" pictures from 1940 to 1962 and countless stage, radio, and television appearances together over the decades were critically important to Hope's career. Hope was a star on Broadway, but when the "Road" series began, he was relatively unknown nationally and was actually billed under Dorothy Lamour in the first film. After the release of Road to Singapore (1940), Hope's screen career took off until his final starring role in Cancel My Reservation (1972). Bing Crosby and Bob Hope became linked in public perception to the extent that it became difficult to think of one without the other even though they actually conducted predominately separate careers. They had planned one more movie together, The Road to the Fountain of Youth, until Crosby's demise abruptly intervened.[17]

Hope starred in fifty-two theatrical features altogether between 1938 and 1972, not to mention cameos and short films, and frequently stated that his movies were the most important part of his career. Some notable examples include College Swing (1938; with George Burns, Gracie Allen, and Betty Grable), Some Like It Hot (1939; with Shirley Ross and Gene Krupa), The Ghost Breakers (1940, with Paulette Goddard), The Paleface (1948; with Jane Russell), Sorrowful Jones (1949; with Lucille Ball), The Seven Little Foys (1955; with James Cagney as George M. Cohan), The Iron Petticoat (1956; with Katharine Hepburn), and Beau James (1957; with Hope as James J. Walker).
Hope was host of the Academy Awards ceremony 18 times between 1939 and 1977. His feigned lust for an Academy Award became part of his act. In one scene from Road to Morocco he erupted in a frenzy, shouting about his imminent death from exposure. Bing Crosby reminds him that rescue is just minutes away, and a disappointed Hope complains that Crosby has spoiled his best scene, and thus his chance for an Academy Award. Also, in Road to Bali, when Crosby finds Humphrey Bogart's Oscar for The African Queen, Hope grabs it, saying "Give me that. You've got one." Although Hope was never nominated for an Oscar for his performances (Bing Crosby won the 1944 Best Actor Oscar for Going My Way), the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored him with four honorary awards, and in 1960, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. While introducing the 1968 telecast, he quipped, "Welcome to the Academy Awards, or, as it's known at my house, Passover."[18]
Broadcasting[link]
Main article: Bob Hope television appearances
Hope first appeared on television in 1932 during a test transmission from an experimental CBS studio in New York. In January 1947, Hope was master of ceremonies for the first telecast by California's first television station, KTLA. His career in broadcasting spanned 64 years and included a long association with NBC. Hope made his network radio debut in 1937 on NBC. His first regular series for NBC Radio was the Woodbury Soap Hour. A year later, The Pepsodent Show Starring Bob Hope began, continuing as The New Swan Show in 1948 (for the same sponsor, Lever Brothers). After 1950, the series was known simply as The Bob Hope Show, with Liggett & Myers (1950–52), General Foods (1953) and American Dairy Association (1953–55) as his sponsors, until it finally went off the air in April 1955. Regulars on his radio series included zany Jerry Colonna and Barbara Jo Allen as spinster Vera Vague.

Hope did many specials for the NBC television network in the following decades, beginning in April 1950. These were often sponsored by General Motors (1955–1961), Chrysler (1963–73) and Texaco (1975–1985), and Hope served as a spokesman for these companies for many years and would sometimes introduce himself as "Bob, from Texaco, Hope." Hope's Christmas specials were popular favorites and often featured a performance of "Silver Bells" (from his 1951 film The Lemon Drop Kid) done as a duet with an often much younger female guest star (such as Olivia Newton-John, Barbara Eden, and Brooke Shields), or with his wife Delores, with whom he dueted on two specials.
In October 1956, Hope appeared on an episode of the most-viewed program in America at the time, I Love Lucy. He said, upon receiving the script: "What? A script? I don't need one of these"[cite this quote], and ad-libbed the entire episode. Desi Arnaz said of Hope after his appearance: "Bob is a very nice man, he can crack you up, no matter how much you try for him to not."[cite this quote] Lucy and Desi returned the favor by appearing on one of his Chevy Show specials (with Vivian Vance and William Frawley) later that season.
Hope's 1970 and 1971 Christmas specials for NBC—filmed in Vietnam in front of military audiences at the height of the war—are on the list of the Top 30 U.S. Network Primetime Telecasts of All Time. Both were seen by more than 60% of the U.S. households watching television.
In 1992, Bob Hope made a guest appearance as himself on The Simpsons, in the episode "Lisa the Beauty Queen" (season 4, episode 4). The episode attracted 11.1 million viewers when it premiered on October 15. Hope's NBC television career consisted of monthly shows successfully spanning so many decades that it literally outlasted his ability to read his monologue from cue cards; toward the end, SCTV Hope impressionist Dave Thomas would deliver the monologue for him while imitating Hope's delivery. After 1992, his specials were re-formatted into retrospectives of Hope's past career, for occasions such as his 90th birthday in May 1993, which resulted in an Emmy-winning TV celebration on NBC, featuring guests such as Betty White, Walter Cronkite, Gerald Ford, Jay Leno and a rare post-Tonight Show appearance by Johnny Carson.
In October 1996, Hope announced, via a press release, that he was ending his 60-year contract with NBC, joking that he "decided to become a free agent". His final television special, Laughing with the Presidents, was broadcast in November 1996, with Tony Danza helping Hope present a personal retrospective of presidents of the United States known to the comedian. The special received mixed reviews, mostly due to the weakening appearance and speech of the 93-year-old Hope.
Following a brief appearance at the 50th Primetime Emmy Awards in 1997. Bob Hope's last TV appearance was in a 1997 K-Mart commercial directed by Penny Marshall.
USO[link]
For more on this topic see USO – Honoring Bob Hope
Hope's first wartime performance occurred at sea. Aboard the RMS Queen Mary when World War II began in September 1939, he went to the captain to volunteer to perform a special show for the panicked passengers, during which he sang "Thanks for the Memory" with rewritten lyrics.[19] Hope performed his first United Service Organizations (USO) show on May 6, 1941, at March Field, California. He continued to travel and entertain troops for the rest of World War II[20] and later during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the third phase of the Lebanon Civil War, the latter years of the Iran–Iraq War, and the 1990–1991 Persian Gulf War. When overseas he almost always performed in Army fatigues as a show of support for his audience. Hope's USO career lasted half a century, during which he headlined approximately 60 tours. For his service to his country through the USO, he was awarded the Sylvanus Thayer Award by the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1968.
Of Hope's USO shows in World War II, writer John Steinbeck, who was then working as a war correspondent, wrote in 1943:
| “ | When the time for recognition of service to the nation in wartime comes to be considered, Bob Hope should be high on the list. This man drives himself and is driven. It is impossible to see how he can do so much, can cover so much ground, can work so hard, and can be so effective. He works month after month at a pace that would kill most people.[21] | ” |
In addition to the star-studded casts Hope recruited his own family members for the far-reaching travel. Wife Dolores sang from atop an armored vehicle as recently as the Desert Storm tour, with granddaughter Miranda alongside Hope on an aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean.[22]
A 1997 act of Congress signed by President Clinton named Hope an "Honorary Veteran." He remarked, "I've been given many awards in my lifetime — but to be numbered among the men and women I admire most — is the greatest honor I have ever received."[23]
Hope appeared in so many theaters of war over the decades that it was often cracked (in Bob Hope style) that "Where there's death, there's Hope".
In 2009, Stephen Colbert carried a golf club on stage each night during his own week-long USO performance and taping of The Colbert Report[24] and explained in his last episode that it was an homage to Hope.
Theater[link]
Hope's first Broadway appearances, in 1927's The Sidewalks of New York and 1928's Ups-a-Daisy, were minor walk-on parts.[25] He returned to Broadway in 1933 to star as Huckleberry Haines in the Jerome Kern/Dorothy Fields musical Roberta. Stints in the musicals Say When, the 1936 Ziegfeld Follies (with Fanny Brice), and Red, Hot and Blue with Ethel Merman and Jimmy Durante followed. His performances were generally well received, and critics noted his keen sense of comedic timing. Hope reprised his role as Huck Haines in a 1958 production of Roberta at The Muny Theater in Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri.
Hope rescued Eltham Little Theatre from closure by providing the funds to buy the property. He continued his interest and support and regularly visited when in London. The Theatre was renamed in his honor in 1982.[26]
Sports[link]
Hope was an avid golfer. He was introduced to the game in the 1930s, and eventually played to a four handicap. His love for the game, and the humor he could find in it, made him a much sought-after foursome member. He once remarked that President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave up golf for painting – "fewer strokes, you know."[27] Throughout his career, a golf club became an integral prop for Hope during the stand-up segments of his television specials and USO Shows. In 1978, he putted against a then two-year-old Tiger Woods in a television appearance with James Stewart on The Mike Douglas Show. The Bob Hope Classic was founded in 1960, and it was the only FedEx Cup tournament that took place over five rounds; but for the first time in 2012, it was reduced to the standard four rounds. The tournament made history in 1995, when Hope teed up for the opening round in a foursome that included Presidents Gerald R. Ford, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton – the only time ever that three presidents participated in a golf foursome.[28]
Hope would frequently use his television specials to promote the annual College Football All-America Team. The team members would enter the stage one by one and introduce themselves, and Hope would then give a one-liner about the player or his school. Hope would often don a football uniform for these presentations.
Hope bought a small stake in the Cleveland Indians in 1946[29] and owned it for most of the rest of his life.[30] In 1993, he sang "Thanks for the Memory" after the Indians' last game at Cleveland Stadium. Hope also bought a share of the Los Angeles Rams football team in 1947 with Bing Crosby[31] and sold it in 1962.[32]
Personal life[link]
Marriages[link]
According to biographer Arthur Marx, Hope's first wife was his vaudeville partner Grace Louise Troxell, whom he married on January 25, 1933. When the marriage record was unearthed some years later, Hope denied that the marriage had any substance and said they had quickly divorced. There were rumors that he fathered a daughter with Troxell and that he continued to send generous checks to her despite a widely documented reputation for frugality. In 1934, Bob Hope married Dolores (DeFina) Reade, and adopted four children at The Cradle in Evanston, Illinois: Linda, Tony, Kelly and Nora.[33] From them he had several grandchildren, including Andrew, Miranda, and Zachary Hope. Tony (Anthony J. Hope), who served as a presidential appointee in the George H.W. Bush and Clinton administrations and in a variety of posts under Presidents Ford and Reagan, died at age 63 in 2004.[34]
Extramarital affairs[link]
Hope's "endless extramarital flings had been an open secret in Hollywood for years."[35] In 1949, while Hope was in Dallas on a publicity tour for his radio show, he met starlet Barbara Payton, a contract player at Universal Studios, who at the time was on her own PR jaunt. Shortly thereafter, Hope set Payton up in a luxury apartment in Hollywood.[36] The arrangement soured as Hope was not able to satisfy Payton’s definition of generosity and her insatiable need for attention.[37] Hope paid her off to end the affair quietly. Payton later revealed the affair with a tell-all printed in July 1956 in Confidential.[38] "Hope was...at times a mean-spirited individual with the ability to respond with a ruthless vengeance when sufficiently provoked."[35] His advisors counseled him to ignore the Confidential expose in order to avoid further publicity.[35] "Barbara's ...revelations caused a minor ripple...and then quickly sank without causing any appreciable damage to Bob Hope's legendary career."[35] According to Arthur Marx's Hope biography, The Secret Life of Bob Hope, Hope's subsequent long-term affair with actress Marilyn Maxwell was so open that the Hollywood community routinely referred to her as "Mrs. Bob Hope".[citation needed]
Activism[link]
Hope served as an active honorary chairman on the board of Fight for Sight. He led a coast-to-coast telecast for Fight for Sight in 1960, and donated $100,000 to establish the Bob Hope Fight for Sight Fund.[39] He recruited numerous top celebrities for the annual "Lights On" fundraiser; as an example, he hosted Joe Frazier, Yvonne DeCarlo, and Sergio Franchi as headliners for the April 25, 1971 show at Philharmonic Hall.[40]

Later years[link]
As Hope entered his ninth decade, he showed no signs of slowing down and continued appearing in numerous television specials. He was given an 80th birthday party in 1983 at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. which was attended by President Ronald Reagan. In 1985 at 82, he was presented with the Life Achievement Award at the Kennedy Center Honors. He was presented with the Ronald Reagan Freedom Award in 1997 at 94 by Nancy Reagan.[44] The following year, Hope was appointed an honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. Upon accepting the appointment, Hope quipped, "I'm speechless. 70 years of ad lib material and I'm speechless."[45]
At the age of 95, Hope made an appearance at the 50th anniversary of the Primetime Emmy Awards with Milton Berle and Sid Caesar. Two years later at 97, Hope was present at the opening of the Bob Hope Gallery of American Entertainment at the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress has immortalized Bob Hope's life with two major exhibitions - "Hope for America: Performers, Politics and Pop Culture" and "Bob Hope and American Variety."[46][47] Hope celebrated his 100th birthday on May 29, 2003. He is among a small group of notable centenarians in the field of entertainment. To mark this event, the intersection of Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles, California was named Bob Hope Square and his centennial was declared Bob Hope Day in 35 states. Even at 100, Hope was said to have maintained his self-deprecating sense of humor, quipping, "I'm so old, they've canceled my blood type."[1] He converted to Roman Catholicism.[48]
Death[link]

Hope had premature obituaries on two separate occasions. In 1998, a prepared obituary by The Associated Press was inadvertently released on the Internet, prompting Hope's death to be announced in the U.S. House of Representatives.[49][50] In 2003 he was among several famous figures whose pre-written obituaries were published on CNN's website because of a lapse in password protection.
Beginning in 2001 at 98, Hope's health steadily declined and he was hospitalized several times before his death. In June 2000 a month after his 97th birthday, he spent nearly a week in a California hospital after being hospitalized for gastrointestinal bleeding.[51] In August 2001, he spent close to two weeks in the hospital recovering from pneumonia.[52]
On July 27, 2003, Bob Hope died at his home in Toluca Lake at 9:28 p.m. According to the Soledad O'Brien interview with Hope's grandson Zach Hope, when asked on his deathbed where he wanted to be buried, Hope told his wife, "Surprise me."[53] He was interred in the Bob Hope Memorial Garden at San Fernando Mission Cemetery in Los Angeles, where his mother is also buried.
After Hope's death, many newspaper cartoons worldwide featured some variation of Bing Crosby welcoming Bob Hope into heaven or his work for the USO.[54]

Walter Ralph Emery (born March 10, 1933; McEwen, Tennessee) is a country music disc jockey and television host from Nashville, Tennessee. He gained national fame hosting the syndicated television music series, Pop! Goes the Country, from 1974 to 1980 and the nightly Nashville Network television program, Nashville Now, from 1983 to 1993.[1] Emery can currently be seen hosting the weekly program, Ralph Emery Live, on RFD-TV, a satellite and cable television channel devoted to rural American culture.

Career[link]
Emery first earned fame as the late-night disc jockey on Nashville's WSM-AM. Due to the clear-channel broadcasting range of the station at night, Emery's country music show could be heard over most of the Eastern and Central U.S.-- and by many overnight long-haul truck drivers, who were often fans of country music. The all-night show was a mecca for country music stars of all kinds, many of whom were personal friends of Emery. One in particular was singer and movie star, and Nashville resident, Tex Ritter. Ritter actually co-hosted the show with Emery for a while. Many well-known stars, most notably Marty Robbins, would often drop in unannounced.
Emery also gave national exposure to many up-and-coming and previously unknown country music singers, for which these singers often owed their careers. Emery later wrote several best-selling books chronicling his memories of the many Nashville singers and musicians that appeared on his various radio and TV shows. The second of Emery's three wives was Opry star Skeeter Davis.
Emery is credited for developing the gab of NASCAR driver (and Middle Tennessean) Darrell Waltrip, who was a frequent guest on his late-night radio show during his early days racing in Nashville. That eventually led to substitute gigs on WSM and Nashville Now.
Emery attained his greatest popularity on Nashville Now, with his rich voice and easy affability with guests making the show a national phenomenon. He would converse with a wide range of country music stars from all eras, and also used a Muppet-like 'co-host,' "Shotgun Red," during several seasons.
From the mid-1960s until the early 1990s (except for several years in the 1960s when hosted by country singer Bobby Lord and a two-year period between 1970 and 1972), Emery also hosted a weekday morning show on WSM television (now WSMV), which, until the early 1980s, was a sister property of WSM radio. The program, which featured an in-studio band of local session musicians and aspiring singers (among them a teenaged Lorrie Morgan, daughter of Emery's longtime friend, Grand Ole Opry star George Morgan) along with news and weather updates and in-studio live commercials, became the highest-rated local morning television program in the U.S. for some years in the 1970s and 1980s. Emery also hosted a late-afternoon program on WSM-TV in the late 1960s, Sixteenth Avenue South (named for one of the streets on Nashville's famed Music Row of recording studios), with the same format. Because of the morning show's popularity and demands on his time, Emery ended his long run on the overnight shift on WSM radio in 1972; Hairl Hensley replaced him and went on to a thirty-year career with the station. Beginning in 1971, Emery hosted The Ralph Emery Show on radio. It was a weekly, syndicated show that aired daily on country stations in five parts Mondays through Fridays. Each week Emery would profile a guest star, while playing the hot country hits of the week. It was distributed by "Show Biz Inc." and lasted until sometime in the 1980s.
The song Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man details a moderately unpleasant on-air exchange between Emery and Roger McGuinn, the lead singer of the 1960s rock group The Byrds, concerning their 1968 appearance at The Grand Ole Opry. In that performance, the Byrds attempted unsuccessfully to convince traditional country music fans that their developing country rock sound was a legitimate part of the tradition. They were met with jeers and catcalls, in what may be interpreted as a sign of the increasing animosity at the time between rural or working-class (mostly Southern) whites (represented by Opry attendees and Emery's listeners) and young devotees of the counterculture (represented by the Byrds, with their long hair and "hippie" attire). Years later, though, there would be some reconciliation and even convergence of the opposing lifestyles in the "Outlaw" movement, popularized by the likes of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.
Legendary songwriter Mickey Newbury remembered Ralph Emery on his 1979 album, The Sailor, in the song The Night You Wrote That Song.
In 2001, Emery attempted a television comeback on Nashville Fox affiliate WZTV, but only spent seven days on the air before being sidelined first by continuing coverage of the September 11 attacks and then an illness. Substitute host Charlie Chase, a former WSM disc jockey in his own right, took over Tennessee Mornings permanently. In October 2005, Emery launched The Nashville Show, a free weekly webcast with Shotgun Red as co-host.
Emery was among the 2007 inductees to the Country Music Hall of Fame, and in 2010 he was ultimately inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame, with the latter induction being replayed on Emery's current television program, Ralph Emery Live.
He then returned to television on the RFD-TV cable network in mid 2007, conducting interviews with the show Ralph Emery Live. The show continues to air live every Monday evening at 7:00 PM Eastern, with new episodes set to commence in spring 2011.[2]

I'm going down twenty feet into that muddy muddy water to search that old river bed
I'm going down twenty feet into that muddy muddy water
To prove there's no truth in what our friends have said
That's when you cross the bridge the other day
Well you took off my ring and you threw it away
I'm going down twenty feet into that muddy muddy water
To try to find the answer there
[ guitar ]
I'm going down twenty feet into that muddy muddy water
Though I know it's dark and cold
I'm going down twenty feet into that muddy muddy water
To search for that precious little band of gold
It's true it didn't cost much and I could buy more
But you can't buy a heart in a juwelry store
I'm going down twenty feet into that muddy muddy water
To try to find the answer there try to find the answer there
To try to find the answer there try to find the answer there
In a desert town the desert sunbeam
Down on a small boy laying sick in bed
It burned his fevered brow so much she witched somehow
But the sun was the shade tree instead
I chanced the whippoorwill which throne is windowsill
And overheard the boy's fevered plea
He whippoorwilled a cry to feathered friends near by
And an old time at all they made a tree
A tree of birds, a bird tree
Soon the tree started singing merrily
Chirrup chirrup twee twee
Get on your feet, sweetly sang a tree of bird
When the little boy heard that lovely song
He looked all around and to his surprise
There was a wondrous tree a whinnying singing tree
A tree of birds flying right before his weary eyes
With their little wings they kept cooling things
Till his fever broke and ill may flow away
The boy has tried to tell how birds made him well
But no one believes him to this say
A tree of birds, a bird tree
Soon the tree started singing merrily
Chirrup chirrup twee twee
Get on your feet, sweetly sang a tree of bird
(A tree of bird)
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Pardon me if I'm sentimental when we say goodbye
When you're gone yet I'll dream
A little dreams as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool but I'll love you dear until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
I'm a fool but I'll love you dear until the day I die
I need you oh, how I need you
The nights are lonely since we're apart
I miss you oh, how I miss you come back
My darlin' and mend my heart
I'm sorry dear I made you cry
Please forgive and forget the days gone by
I need you oh, how I need you
Come back my darlin' into my heart
I'm sorry dear I made you cry
Please forgive and forget the days gone by
I need you oh, how I need you
There's just one place for me, near you
Seems just like heaven to be near you
Well, times when we're apart
Oh, I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stray
More than just two lips away
If my life could be spent near you
I'd be more than content near you
Well, make my dreams come by telling me
That you'll spend the rest of my life near you
Well, times when we're apart
Oh, I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stray
On the fingers of one hand
On the fingers of one hand
Life can all be counted
On the fingers of one hand
Count your little finger on the day you born
See the fingernail it's protection from the thorn
Protection from the thorn of life you choosed you as you grow
The nail is a guardian until you're a child no more
On the fingers of one hand
On the fingers of one hand
Life can all be counted
On the fingers of one hand
Count your second finger as you come of age
Right and wrong is clearer when you reach this page
And when you meet a girl you love accordin' to life's plan
The day you age you count the middle finger of your hand
On the fingers of one hand
On the fingers of one hand
Life can all be counted
On the fingers of one hand
When the Lord has blessed you with a tiny air
Count the final finger say a thankful prayer
Last of all you're countin' on the day your life is done
From birth to death is not in vain you live on through your son
On the fingers of one hand
On the fingers of one hand
Life can all be counted
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world that could ever change my love
Something happened to my heart the day that I met you
Something that I never felt before
You are always on my mind no matter what I do
And every day it seems I want you more
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world that could ever change my love
Once I thought that love was meant for anyone else but me
Once I thought you'd never come my way
Now it only goes to show how wrong we all can be
For now I have to tell you every day
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
I woke up this morning, sunshine everywhere
I didn't have a worry, didn't have a care
Then I got this note sayin', you were through with me
Now the sun is gone it's a cloudy day I see
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
Why don't I forget you? Friends would say
They tell me stormy day has passed away
But I know till you're back this storm is here to stay
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
Well, I always heard that sunshine follows rain
But I can't see the sun for all this pain
Well, things just won't be right
Till you're back again
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
It's gonna rain some rain some in my heart
There you go baby here am I
Well, you left me here so I could sit and cry
Will you apologize what have you done to me
Well, I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Do you remember baby last September
How I held you tight each and every night
Well, you was so dizzy how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore
There's no use in me of cryin'
I've done everything and now I'm sick of tryin'
I've thrown away my nights
And wasted all my days over you
Well, you'll go your way and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new, baby, we'll say we're through
And I guess it doesn't matter anymore
There's no use in me of cryin'
I've done everything and now I'm sick of tryin'
I've thrown away my nights
And wasted all my days over you
Well, you'll go your way and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new, baby, we'll say we're through
And I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Ever since you went away it seems I age a year each day
Don't know what I'm gonna do I'm gettin' gray from being blue
Before too long I think you'll see just how bad you're hurting me
I worry so much over you I'm gettin' gray from being blue
My hair is turning gray from being blue over you
And it's cause I'm a thing you put me through being blue
Oh I'll go along so lonesome you're with someone new
I'm gettin' gray from being blue
I'm gettin' old before my time because I love you and you're not mine
You never will be I know it's true I'm gettin' gray from being blue
I got over Marie I got ove Sherrie but I'll never get over you
Though I'm acting carefree any fool can't see that I'll never get over you
When I'll find somebody new I want them to be like you
But they won't ever do cause there's just one of you
I keep trying to find a little peace of mind but I'll never get over you
[ guitar ]
Higher than the highest mountain
And deeper than the deepest sea
That's how I will love you, oh darling, endlessly
Softer than the gentle breezes
And stronger than the wild oak tree
That's how I will hold you, oh darling, endlessly
Oh my love, you are my Heaven
You are my kingdom, you are my crown
Oh my love, you're all that I prayed for
You were made for these arms to surround
Faithful as a morning sunrise
And sacred as a love can be
That's how I will love you, oh darling, endlessly
Darling, endlessly
There's a new world somewhere
They call the Promised Land
And I'll be there someday
If you will hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I'll never find another you
There is always someone
To reach across they say
And you'll be my someone
Forever and today
I could search the whole world over
Until my life is through
But I know I'll never find another you
It's a long long journey
So stay by my side
When I'll walk through the storm
You'll be my guide, be my guide
If they gave me a fortune
My pleasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you
Baby, baby, I miss you so very much
It hurts me baby, I just gotta I gotta have my baby back
Can't eat, can't sleep because I miss my sweet, sweet baby
I gotta, I just gotta, I gotta have my baby, back
Alone in this big town people all around
Laughing and talking paintin' the town
Jukebox is playing songs about you
Songs of sweet memories making me blue
Oh, baby, come on home without you baby, I just can't get along
I just gotta, I just gotta, I gotta have my baby back
Oh, baby, come on home without you baby, I just can't get along
I just gotta, I just gotta, I gotta have my baby back
Each time you promise you'll be true
I tell my heart to believe in you
This time I say I won't cry, can I get fooled? Don't I?
Each time you swear you'll walk the line
I tell myself that at last you're mine
This time I say she won't lie, can I get fooled? Don't I?
This time I know for sure I'm through
My heart no longer believes in you
This time I say it's goodbye but I get fooled, don't I?
Oh Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars I hear the rolling thunder
Thy art throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art how great Thou art
Then sings my soul...
[ choir ]
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And calls me home what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great Thou art
Then sings my soul...
Tumbling down from up above, came a token of our love
Tumbling down came the feather of a dove
Wonderful memories, such sweet, sweet memories
Keep coming back, each time I think of you
When we met, we both could tell heaven had blessed us well
A little token fell out of the blue, tumbling down
I had you many years such sweet, sweet golden years
But one day, heaven called and now you're gone
You'd knew I missed you so you sent a sign to show
A sign so I would know I'm not alone
Don't be angry with me darling if I fail to understand
All your little whims and wishes all the time
Just remember that I'm dumb, I guess, like any foolish man
And my head stays sorta foggy 'cause you're mine
Well, I recall the first time
That I flirted with you dear
When I jokingly said, ?Come and be my bride?
Now that time has turned the pages
It's the sweetest joke on earth
That I have you here forever by my side
Maybe someday, you're gonna hurt me
I've been hurting of before
Only God can know and time alone will tell
In the mean time
I'll keep loving you with all my heart and soul
And pray God to let it last if it's His will
So don't be angry with me darling if I fail to understand
All your little whims and wishes all the time
Just remember that I'm dumb, I guess, like any foolish man
Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
Too deeply for mirth or song
As the burdens press and the cares distress
And the way grows weary and long?
Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares
His heart is touched with my grief
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary
I know my Savior cares
Does Jesus care when my way is dark
With a nameless dread and fear?
As the daylight fades into deep night shades
Does He care enough to be near?
Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares
His heart is touched with my grief
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary
I know my Savior cares
Does Jesus care when I've tried and failed
To resist some temptation strong
When for my deep grief there is no relief
Though my tears flow all the night long?
Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares
His heart is touched with my grief
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary
I know my Savior cares
Does Jesus care when I've said, "Goodbye"
To the dearest on earth to me
And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks
Is it aught to Him? Does He see?
Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares
His heart is touched with my grief
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary
Now he couldn't move a mountain
Or pull down a big oak tree
But my daddy became a mighty big man
With a simply philosophy
Do what you do do well boy
Do what you do do well
Give your love and all your of heart
And do what you do do well
Now sometimes, he'd kissed my mama
And hold her so tenderly
When he'd look across the top of her head
Then he'd wink and say to me
Do what you do do well boy
Do what you do do well
Give your love and all your of heart
And do what you do do well
Now he was a man of laughter
But if tragedy came by
The tears ran free and he'd say to me
Never be afraid to cry
Do what you do do well boy
Do what you do do well
Give your love and all your of heart
And do what you do do well
Today I still remember
Just like it was yesterday
About a mighty big man with a mighty big heart
And a mighty few words to say
Do what you do do well boy
Do what you do do well
Give your love and all your of heart
And do what you do do well
Do what you do do well
Dawn...the cruel night is gone
I've cried the whole night long
Because you're gone
Dawn...the darkness disappears
And daylight dries my tears
I welcome dawn
Somehow I keep from crying through the day
With friends around
But every night when I'm alone
The tears come falling down
Gone...is love's sweet magic power
These are the lonely hours
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
For my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to...
So please take the treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms may hold somebody new but now I'm so lonely all the time
I know two eyes that just adore you
I know two arms that long to hold you
And I know two lips that wanna kiss you
And I know one sincere loving heart that's beating just for you
I wish your heart could know how my heart aches for you
I try and try to tell you what I feel for you
But every time my courage fells and can't speak of love
But I know I'm crazy for your heart and this I'm certain of
I know two eyes, I know two eyes
I forgot more than you'll ever know about her
You think you know the smile on her lips
The thrill at the touch of her fingertips
But I forgot more than you'll ever know about her
You think you'll find a heaven of bliss
In each caress, each tender kiss
But I forgot more than you'll ever know about her
You stole her love from me one day
You didn't care how you hurt me
But you can never steal away memories of what used to be
You think she's yours to have and to hold
Someday you'll learn when her love grows cold
I'll never be anything but in love with you
The crown of a king won't mean a thing if I'm not loving you
I'll never be anything but in love with you
As long as I live I've nothing to give if I'm not loving you
I don't care how high I'd climb or if I'd reach the sun
Just as long as you love me I'm richer than anyone
I'll never be anything but in love with you
If I'd own the earth what what it'd be worth if I'm not loving you
I'll never be anything...
He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea
He alone besides what's best for you and me
He lights every star that makes a darkness bright
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner call and always find him there
Oh, it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say I forgive
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Oh, it makes him sad to see the way we live
Tying the pieces together
All of your trinkets I'm saving
The picture that you gave to me
Each night I look at them gently
And pray that you'll come back to me
Tying the pieces together
Trying to make our love last
But little by little I'm losing
Living too much in the past
The walks that we took together
The places and things that we had seen
Oh each night I relive these mem'ries
Will you ever come back to me
Tying the pieces together
Trying to make our love last
But little by little I'm losing
Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why you ramble no one knows
Wild and wind blown that's how you've grown
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose
Ramble on, ramble on
When you're ramblin' days are gone
Who will love you with a love true
When you're ramblin' days are gone
Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why I want you heaven knows
Though I love you with a love true
You're the only world I know
You're the one I can't let go
You're my laughter and my tears
And I love you all my years
You're the beating of my heart
You're my thoughts when we're apart
You're the one I can't let go
You're the only, only world I know
You're my nighttime and my day
You're my one love all the way
You're the one I can't let go
I'm having a hard time getting over you
And telling my friends that we're really through
I cry my eyes out but bygone what it do I'm having a hard time getting over you
A hard time getting over you
I go on pretending you'll come back again though I know I'm pretending in vain
But I'll keep on hoping tomorrow will bring our hearts back together again
Tonight I found my true love
Tonight I found my world is you love
You are here young and warm
Say, you'll stay forever in my arms safe from harm
Oh, oh, oh, surely you must know how much I care
Our love will grow if you'll just let me know, you'll always be there
(Tonight for me to love)
Tonight I found my true love
Tonight I found my world is you love
I thought I had everything
But I never knew my heart could seen
Oh, oh, oh, surely you must know how much I care
Our love will grow if you'll just let me know, you'll always be there
(Tonight for me to love)
Sun is shining, birds are singing
In schoolyards bright flags unfurl
Things look so normal but looks are deceiving
Today is the end of the world
People are laughing, talking and laughing
While I am losing my girl
Why are they laughing they should be grieving
Today is the end of the world
The world ended when you walked through that door
Leaving me all alone
I learned something that I never knew before
Your heart can't die while you live on
Live on in darkness, live on in sorrow
While this old hurt takes a whirl
What good is living, my love is leaving
Today is the end of the world
What good is living, my love is leaving
Today is the end of the world
What good is living, my love is leaving
Well my life is in Thy hands oh Lord I give it all to Thee
And until death I carry on till the last leaf shall fall from the tree
Well I came to Jesus as I was weary, alone and sad
I found in Him a resting place and He has made, made me glad
Oh King of kings, take hold on me, let me teach Thy love for Thee
Can't you feel His love pleading with your heart, oh give Thy soul to Hhim
Oh shine your light, let your sad heart sing live up Thy voice with glee
Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake
Today she thinks I still care
Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of her lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy
I used to be she thinks I still care
Oh, if she's happy thinking I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
But how could she ever be so foolish
Where would she get such an idea
Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her then went all to pieces
Shackles and chains shackles and chains
Oh that's all that remains schackles and chains
Now my home is where my heart is and that could be anywhere
But my heart is chained to mem'ries and the thought you couldn't care
For no reason I could tell you were afraid to fall for me
But since I have fallen already you should stop be fair to me
Release these shackles these chains memories that remain
Oh oh shackles and chains
Oh this chain that binds me to you is the one I'll never break
When I say that I'll forget you my poor heart begins to ache
For no reason I could tell...
Once I had a secret love that lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star the way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are and why I'm so in love with you
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore
The tears I cry each night, the thoughts you're gone from me
I guess you could call them scars of a love that used to be
Scars you left on a heart that still is true
Scars of love is all that I have left of you
The loneliness of night, the emptiness of the day
How I wish that I could make this hurting all away
Peace in my soul, peace in my soul
Lord give me peace in my soul
And when nothing goes my way
Teach me to say
?Lord give me peace in my soul?
No sooner born than we start to die
Our life's just a menu seen in God's eyes
Through His grace we are here
We're not too proud in despair
So Lord give me peace in my soul
Peace in my soul, peace in my soul
Lord give me peace in my soul
And when nothing goes my way
Teach me to say
?Lord give me peace in my soul?
I'd rather know that my soul is at rest
Than to own all the world
But how sins to forget
Oh, I'll be satisfied if every day of my life
The Lord gives me peace in my soul
Peace in my soul, peace in my soul
Lord give me peace in my soul
And when nothing goes my way
Teach me to say
?Lord give me peace in my soul
Have you ever been troubled, you feel so alone
Hurtin' with heartaches and tears
Don't give up keep trying thou faith never fear
Just look up there's someone who cares
All at once an open field of happiness surrounds you
Lookin' up lookin' up to the sky
Someone's there watching you and he knows all your troubles
Walk with him talk with him you'll get by
Do you sometimes go weary
And friends turn you down nothing is turning out right
When there's darkness about you no light seems in view
Thou faith and he'll take care of you
All at once an open field of happiness surrounds you
Lookin' up lookin' up to the sky
Someone's there watching you and he knows all your troubles
My love may be over the mountain
My love may be over the sea
Somewhere I know there must be
Someone one true love for only me
So I gotta go on
(Gotta go on, gotta go on, on and on and on)
My heart says on I know
Someday somewhere I'll find my love
So I gotta go on
(Gotta go on, gotta go on)
Well, I've been lonely, I've been blue
I'm just no good without her love
Well, can she be my one
And only where is the one I'm dreaming of
So I gotta go on
They say that true love will find a way
Somehow I'll find my way I know
And then I'll hold her in my arms
No lonely days love will grow
Walking down the streets of my hometown
I'm back again to end my roaming round
I'm looking for the girl I left behind
The one I love an old sweetheart of mine
I only meant to 'round before a while
I said goodbye my heart was young and wild
I wonder if she missed me all the time
The way I missed an old sweetheart of mine
I traveled, traveled never could I find a girl
Like an old sweetheart of mine
I hear the church bells ring as I pass by
There goes the happy groom and lovely bride
My heart stops beating as her eyes meet
Too late I found that old sweetheart of mine
Walking down the streets of my hometown
I'm on my way I guess I roam around
But as I go I leave my heart behind
I'll always love that old sweetheart of mine
If I lose my pay beg your pardon
For things that I've said beg your pardon
Well why should I worry the way that I do
When you're in no hurry to let me love you
Well I'll try for a kiss in the garden
And if I should miss beg your pardon
But if some sunny day you'll let me have my way
I won't have to say beg your pardon
Well why should I worry the way that I do
Love me like there's no tomorrow
Kiss me like it's goin' out of style
Hold me like you're afraid I might get away
Love like I've been gone for quite a while
Take and wrap me in the package
My future my presence and my past
And love me like there's no tomorrow
And each day might be our last
Love me like there's no tomorrow
Kiss me like it's goin' out of style
Hold me like you're afraid I might get away
Love like I've been gone for quite a while
Make each night one more remembered
We will let the heaven be our guide
Just love me like there's no tomorrow
And keep me right by your side
On a day like today we pass the time
Away writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters from the sand
You made a vow that you would always be true
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you
Now my broken heart aches with every way that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
You made a vow that you would always be true
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you
Now my broken heart aches with every way that breaks
Love is a light, love is a light
Love is a lantern burning, burning bright
Brighter by far than any star in sight
Love is a lantern love is a light
When two lovers kiss if their love is true
Their lips will create a tiny spark or two
When our lips first met the spark's became a flame
Now I light up every time you whisper my name
Love is a light, love is a light
When I'm close to you I feel such a glow
Way down deep inside my heart it's bound to show
And when we're apart wherever I roam
Your love is a beacon light calling me back home
Love love love is a happy love is a happy song
Love love love love love is a happy song
Clap your hands snap your fingers
Find you a love don't you linger
Put that ring on her finger
Love is a happy song, love, love, love is a happy
Hold your best girl arms around her
You'll be so glad glad you found her
Lovin' just makes a world go round her
Love is happy song, love, love, love is a happy
Clap ypur hands
Love, love, love is a happy
Because of you there's a song in my heart because of you our romance had its start
Because of you the sun will shine the moon and stars will say you're mine
Forever and never to part
I only live for your love and your kiss it's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you my life is now worthwhile and I can smile because of you
Invisible tears in my eyes incredible pain in my heart
Indestructable memories are passing in review
Impossible though things may get improbable I will forget
Indelible memories of sweet loveable you
You're back again so I'll let you in altough I'm only seeing pictures from the past
Those arms are not real but somehow I feel
If I'd just close my eyes then maybe it will last
Invisible tears in my eyes...
Every day after day I go home alone to my blue room
With the world locked outside no one can see me cry in my blue room
For there are memories that keep haunting everyday of the past and our love
So I hurry on home to be all alone in my blue room
There's a picture of you trimmed in gold and blue in my blue room
A souvenir or two reminds of you in my blue room
For I live in the past with a love that didn't last all I hold is your memory
So I hurry on home to be all alone in my blue room
[ guitar ]
There's some letters from you tied in ribbons of blue in my blue room
I know every word they say I read them everyday in my blue room
Though we're far apart you live in my heart all I hold is your memory
In mem'ry of Luisa I save each tear I cry
I put them in an old fruit jar together with the falling star
In mem'ry of Luisa each day that passes by
Is longer than a year is long since my Luisa's gone
[ choir ]
In mem'ry of Luisa I wear this faded rose
And in my sleep a broken heart wondering why we had to part
In mem'ry of Luisa I wander all alone
If I have wounded any soul today
If I have caused one foot to go astray
If I have walked in my own willful way
Dear Lord, forgive
If I have uttered idol word or vain
If I have turned aside from want or pain
Yes, I myself shall suffer through the strain
Dear Lord, forgive
Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee
Forgive the secret sins I do not see
Oh, guide me and love me and my keeper be
Dear Lord, forgive
(Your love holding to your sweet love your love holding to your sweet love)
I'll keep holding on just to your love when all else is gone I'll have your love
With your hand in mine till the end of time I'll keep holding on to you
(Your love holding to your sweet love your love holding to your sweet love)
I'll be by your side when you need me always by your side when you need me
Hold you in my arms you'll be safe from harm I'll keep holding on to you
(Your love holding to your sweet love your love holding to your sweet love)
[ choir ]
I'll keep holding on just to your love I'll keep going on just with your love
And each passing day from my heart I say I'll keep holding on to you
Oh I wish it hadn't happened I wish it hadn't happened
It wasn't worth the pain I'm going through
Oh I wish it hadn't happened I wish it hadn't happened
It wasn't worth the price of losing you
I fell in love with a new love I thought my new love was true love
I swapped the perfect apple for a bad one now I'm the sad sad sad sad sad one
Oh I wish it hadn't happened...
Please forgive her when you see her acting like she doesn't care
She used to be an angel but I let her down somewhere
Don't condemn her for she's blinded by the deepest of despair
Oh, she loves me, I guess too much and I let her down somewhere
So trusting when I met her, she had so much faith in me
But as I fell, I took her along and I made her what she can't be
Please forgive her when you see her acting like she doesn't care
She used to be an angel but I let her down somewhere
(So trusting when I met her)
She had so much faith in me
But as I fell, I took her along and I made her what she can't be
Don't condemn her for she's blinded by the deepest of despair
Oh, she loves me, I guess too much and I let her down somewhere
I do love you, I truly do
You do love me, you truly do
It's no secret it's part on every tree
That I truly love you and you truly love me
Dreams do come true, they truly do
Wishes do too, they truly do
There's no love truer than my love for you
I do love you, I truly truly do
Dreams do come true
Heaven says hello every morning
When the sun says, ?Hi I've come to spend the day?
Heaven says hello with the songbirds
And the little flowers that nod along my way
And when the day is through and I hurry home to you
As the twilight steals across the golden skies
Heaven says hello when you kiss me
And I look into the blue of your eyes
Heaven says hello when you kiss me
And I look into the blue of your eyes
Heartaches heartaches my loving you meant only heartaches
Your kiss was such a sacred thing to me I can't believe it's just a burning memory
Heartaches heartaches what does it matter how my heart breaks
I should be happy with someone new but my heart aches for you
[ guitar ]
I see him in a baby's smile I hear him in the wind that sighs
He loves me and I know not why he's everywhere
He calls me from a world up there I seek him and I find him there
He's in my heart I feel him there he's everywhere
Through storms of fear and doubt I sailed my eyes were blinded by a vale
I saw no beauty anywhere in anything
Then I drew near the cross where he in shame and sorrow died for me
My vale was lifted and he taught my heart to sing
I see him in a baby's smile...
Happy memories happy memories
Happy days when you love me can put my mind at ease
Happy memories sweet sweet memories heartaches can't erase my happy memories
Since you're gone as time goes by I seem to miss you more
And to me each day gets bluer than the day before
The only way that I can put my achin' heart at ease is living with my happy memories
Happy memories...
Funny little things we did keep running through my mind
And instead of crying I'll keep smiling all the time
I found an easy way to make this happy feeling last
I'll spend my future living the past
Maggie lies under the cold freshly turnin' ground
Everyone's gone but me I'm still around
I hate to go, yes I hate to leave
Maggie might keep me, Maggie might grieve
Goodbye Maggie Maggie goodbye
Goodbye Maggie Maggie goodbye
I miss you so I can't help but cry I love you
So goodbye Maggie Maggie goodbye
My heart is breaking as I walk away
If I could help her now I'd gladly stay
Yes I would gladly take my Maggie's place
If it would bring back her smiling face
Maggie was little she was only four
She'll be afraid to knock at heaven's door
The angels treat her oh so gently and kind
Maggie was cherished Maggie was mine
Goodbye Maggie Maggie goodbye
Goodbye Maggie Maggie goodbye
I miss you so I can't help but cry I love you
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love
Don't have a gold mine or a mansion
Haven't even got you a finger ring
Deep in my heart there's a little secret now
I'm gonna share it with you
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love
They can have the gold in Fort Knox Kentucky
As far as we're gonna stand by love
I knew a man once had lots of money cried every night for love
I'd rather have a sweet girl's love than to hold a rich man's gold
Don't have a penny in our pockets I know we're gonna live on love
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I'm just going through the motions of living
She seemed to love me so how was I to know
I'd be going through motions of living
I've lost so much within I'll never love again
I'm going through the motions of living
When you see me breast in my very best
I'm going through the motions of living
It isn't really me it's what I used to be I'm going through the motions of living
You have to live so much to know so little so little in return of all the giving
We laughed we loved I've cried we parted and I died
Now I'm going through the motions of living
We laughed we loved I've cried we parted and I died
I told all the stars up above
That I'd never lose your precious love
And I told them how true you would be
Now they laugh back at me
At my old fairy tales fairy tales and make believe
And I wonder who I deceive with my fairy tales
You're gone but I say I don't care
I pretend that you never would dare
I keep telling our friends I'm all right
I don't miss you each night
But it's just fairy tales
Tomorrow the hurt will have cease
And I won't think of you and the least
I'll be too busy thinking of when
I will find love again
We'll walk the road of life together day by day
And I will love you every step of the way
The road may wind beneath the sky of blue or gray
But I will love you every step of the way
So only love me and love me only and we will never walk with loneliness
For just as sure as every April turns to May so will I love every step of the way
(So only love) only love me (love me only) love me true
No we will ever walk with loneliness
For just as sure as every April turns to May so will I love every step of the way
Why does the sun go on shining why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world cause you don't love me anymore
Why do the birds go on singing why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world it ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand no I can't understand how life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world it ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating and why why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't keep me hangin' on
Let me go, let me go, let me go
If your love is through, if your love is gone
Gon't keep me hangin' on
I'm a big fool to love you
When you treat me like I'm your clown
It's easy to see that you don't love me
You just want me hangin' around
Don't keep me hangin' on
Times when I say, I'm leaving you
Keep begging me to stay
When I try to go, you put on a show
Somehow I can't get away
Don't keep me hangin' on
Don't keep me hangin' on
Be with me Lord I cannot live without Thee I cannot try to take one step alone
I cannot bear the loads of life anative I need Thy strenght to lean myself upon
Be with me Lord when loneliness fortakes me when I must grive amid the fires of pain
And when shall come the hour of mine departure
All world's unknown oh Lord be with me then
Be with me Lord and then if danger threatens
When storms of trial spurs above my head
When lashing seas leap everywhere about me
Almost you fell in love with me
Almost you gave your heart to me
But the promises you've made
You have broken and betrayed
And left me with just your memory
Almost your heart I did possess
Almost you brought me happiness
But someone new came by
And you left me here to cry
Oh, how close we were almost
Almost your heart I did possess
Almost you brought me happiness
But my dreams just won't come true
And there's nothing I can do
Burning bridges behind me
It's too late to turn back now
Burning bridges behind me
All I want is to forget you somehow
Found some letters you wrote me this morning
They told of a love we once knew
One by one I'd burned them to ashes
Don't want nothing to remind me of you
Burning bridges behind me
Sold the house that we once planned together
Said goodbye to the friends that we knew
Then I moved to a faraway city
Trying hard to forget about you
Burning bridges behind me
Lonesome for you through the day every moment you're away
Long to see you smiling say I'm in love with you ever will be true
Long to see your smiling face and to feel your warm embrace
No one else can take your place when the day is through darling I'm so blue for you
(Long on and on) feeling kinda blue (thinking of you) don't know what I'll do
I'll love you so much more than you'll know the whole day through
(Long for your knock) knocking at my door
(Long for your kiss) kiss and hold you more
Please don't stay away hurry home today darling I'm so blue for you
In my early childhood like all girls and boys I would cry over my broken toys
The toy I remember was rusted in the rain the words of my mother eased all the pain
The more we may stumble the less we shall fall
There's one who was burdened much greater than all
The long Gallileean who's hands hold the scars
The more we remember the bigger we are
[ organ ]
My childhood is over my toy put away the treehouse is empty where I used to play
Like toys that are broken the heartaches I've known
The more I have suffered the bigger I've grown
The more we may stumble...
All my love all my life
I'll give to you I'll be true
In your hands I'll place my heart
A heart that's true that keeps loving you
Together we'll share life's sorrows and joys
To each other we'll be true
Just as long as I live I will give
All my love, all my life just to you
The times when you're not with me
The lonely hours never end
Then when you're back, back in my arms
My whole world's bright again
With your hand in mine we'll travel life's road
And each day I'll say anew
Just as long as I live I will give
I remember when I made you cry
Ages and ages ago
I'll never blame you for our last goodbye
Ages and ages ago
Someone came along and took my place
How wrong I was to let you go
And though it happened only yesterday
It seems like ages and ages ago
Something told me when you walked away
That time would make me miss you so
And though it happened only yesterday
True love's a blessing, true love's a wonderful blessing
True love's a blessing, wait and see
When you found a right girl, you found your priceless pearl
True love's a blessing, yes siree
Some girls love for money, some make love a game
Some girls use their love, a stepping stones to fame
There are many kinds of love in this great big world
But there's no whole lot of love, of a true blue girl
True love's a blessing, true love's a wonderful blessing
True love's a blessing, wait and see
When you found a right girl, you found your priceless pearl
True love's a blessing, yes siree
Some girls take their love too casually, they flirt
Some girl use their love to break a heart, to hurt
There are many kinds of love to be found, that's true
But there's no love like the love I found, when I found you
True love's a blessing, true love's a wonderful blessing
True love's a blessing, wait and see
When you found a right girl, you found your priceless pearl
True love's a blessing, yes siree
(Sing it loud)
True love's a blessing, true love's a wonderful blessing
True love's a blessing, wait and see
When you found a right girl, you found your priceless pearl
True love's a blessing, yes siree
(One more time)
True love's a blessing, true love's a wonderful blessing
True love's a blessing, wait and see
When you found a right girl, you found your priceless pearl
Is there room, room, room in your heart for me
Room, room, room for a fool like me
I still love, love, love you sweetheart, can't you see?
Just open your heart make room for me
Oh, I was wrong to walk out that day
Can you forgive the fool things I say
I'm sorry now that I hurt you, so please take me back
Oh I just got to know
Is there room, room, room in your heart for me
Room, room, room for a fool like me
I still love, love, love you sweetheart, can't you see?
Just open your heart make room for me
Is there room, room, room in your heart for me
Room, room, room for a fool like me
I still love, love, love you sweetheart, can't you see?
Take me back I'm begging please take me back I'm on my knees
For you to scold me, hurt me, hold me darling take me back
When you belonged to me I had a jealous mind
Too late I've learned that you were not the cheating kind
Take me back
My jealous eyes have learned to take a look or two
They were too blind to see that I was losing you
Take me back
They say you live and learn and though I've tried before
I promise never to be jealous anymore
I guess I'm crazy for loving you
You tell me many ways that I won't do
I may be playing the losing game
I guess I'm crazy but I'll never change
I've tried to let you go, it's no use, this I know
I don't care if it's so, it has to be
My heart keeps saying that I'm a fool
Just a little bit south of Saskatoon
Pick my guitar for board and room
Met a little girl, her name was June
A little bit south of Saskatoon
Me and Junny-Mae we got on fine
Till I had to move further down the line
Promised that girl I'd be back soon
A little bit south of Saskatoon
Went up to Nome to see the sights
Had a yen to watch the northern lights
But I had my mind on my sweet June
A little bit south of Saskatoon
So I caught a freight and headed back
Following down that railroad track
Kept a thinkin' of my honeymoon
A little bit south of Saskatoon
Me and Junny-Mae got a little house
Got a piece of ground and a few milk cows
We're gonna get a youngin' soon
A little bit south of Saskatoon
In the winter time when we can't farm
Me and Junny-Mae sit arm in arm
By a big ole fire and honeymoon
The minute you're gone I cry the minute you're gone I die
Before you walk out of sight I'm like a child all alone at night
I stare into emptiness I'm filled with such loneliness
The world goes from right to wrong the minute you're gone
The minute you're gone I see oh how lonely a man I'll be
My life would be oh so blue if I couldn't be with you
The minute you're gone I pray the minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long the minute you're gone
(The minute you're gone I see) oh how lonely a man I'll be
(My life would be oh so blue) if I couldn't be with you
The minute you're gone I pray the minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long the minute you're gone (gone) gone
I'm running running from heartbreak
I haven't been running long still it seems like year
One night very soon I know heartbreak will catch me sleeping and so
When I wake up my pillow will be wet with tears
I'm running running from memories
Memories so sweet I must leave them all behind
One day very soon I'm sure I remember more than I can endure
Just thinking of you will drive me right out of my mind
Running running to parties running from girl to girl
Running long as you're running love's a merry word
(Running) uh huh (running and laughing) uh huh
As long as I'm in a crowd I can play the clown
But later when the crowd's all gone when I find myself all alone
I'll run out of places to run and it gets me down
No, don't you worry, I'll take care of you
I see the tears in your eyes and I know he must be gone
Yes, I know he told you lies and made you hurt all alone
Now you're wondering where to go and what to do
But don't you worry I'll take care of you
You see the world through the rain that came when he left you alone
Oh it's a shame you must feel pain and keep hurtin' 'cause he's gone
But the sun will shine again your heart will mend
So don't you worry I'll take care of you
I've been waitin' for this day, dear, just to chance to dry your tears away
I'll give you love that is strong and make the pain go away
No, you won't, won't be alone, I'll make sure that you're okay
I know you say your life is through but that's not true
No, don't you worry, I'll take care of you
How many times will I believe what you say?
How many minutes can you counted every day?
How many times will I forgive you when you're cruel?
How many times can a man be a fool?
I'd like to leave you, I'd like to go today
But if I leave you, I know I couldn't stay
I'd crawl back though I know you've broken every rule
How many times can a man be a fool?
I'd walk away but I'd melt when you speak
I'd walk away but your kiss leaves me weak
I'd get so mad with myself for acting meek
When will I learn not to turn the other cheek?
How many heartaches will come before I'm through
How many lies till I turn back on you
I guess, the answers one will never teach in school
How many times can a man be a fool?
I guess, the answers one will never teach in school
Give me time, you must believe me
Give me time, you've got to see
I've never been untrue, there's nothing I won't do
To prove my love for you, just give me time
Give me time, just for old time sake
Give me time, my heart will break
If I can make you see, there's no one else for me
And there will never be, please, give me time
Give me time, please, let me explain
Give me time, I'll ease the pain
You've been hurt by their lies
Why can't they realize that true love never dies?
Please, give me time
(Give me time)
Oh, please, let me explain
(Give me time)
I'll ease the pain
I've never been untrue, there's nothing I won't do
To prove my love for you
Just give me time
I once had a friend named Joe the biggest lumberjack in old Idaho
He worked like a dog from day to day he drew ten cents an hour for his pay
Come Saturday evenin' it have him a ball it'd ride him along the Idaho Falls
But now old Joe he's laid to rest he forgot this slogan that he learned best
Don't you cut timber on a windy day stay out of wood better listen what I say
Winds and top flowers go either way don't you cut timber on a windy day
Don't you cut timber on a windy day...
Now Joe had a girl and her name was Anne had arms like a bull and muscles like a man
And when she heard old Joe is dead she picked up rags and away she plead
Up in the mountains where the trees grow tall it was in her mind to cut 'em all
Folks around here say to this day that end still up they're chappin' away
Are you lonesome tonight do you miss me tonight are you sorry we've drifted apart
Does your memory stray to a bright summer day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there
Is your heart filled with pain shall I come back again
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stage and each of us play a part
Fate had me playing in love with you as my sweetheart
Act one was when we met and I loved you at first glance
You read your lines so cleverly and you never missed a cue then came act two
You seemed to change you acted strange and why I'll never know
Honey you lied when you said that you loved me and I had no cause to doubt you
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies than to go on living without you
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there with emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me then they can ring the curtain down
Is your heart filled with pain shall I come back again
We're on our way and life is so wonderful
Love is the way the path we'll find
There's no mountain too high
For love like ours to climb
We're on our way your hand in mine
We're on our way we wish upon a fallen star
The world is ours we can't go wrong
At our rainbow's end we'll find a golden song
We're on our way our love is strong
Some men never find true love
Though they seek it everywhere
Love is found only in a heart
That's been enough strong enough to share
We're on our way yes we'll find our happiness
It's in the love we live each day
Just as long as we get there again love
That's all we need we're on our way
Just as long as we get there again love
That's all we need we're on our way
Waterloo, Waterloo
Where will you meet your Waterloo?
Everybody has his day everybody has to pay
Everybody has to meet his Waterloo
Now old Adam was the first in history
With an apple he was tempted and deceived
Just for spite old Satan made him take a bite
And that's where old Adam met his Waterloo
Waterloo, Waterloo
Where will you meet your Waterloo?
Everybody has his day everybody has to pay
Everybody has to meet his Waterloo
Little General Napoleon of France
Tried to conquer the world but lost his pants
Met defeat known as Bonaparte's retreat
And that's where Napoleon met his Waterloo
Waterloo, Waterloo
Where will you meet your Waterloo?
Everybody has his day everybody has to pay
It rains and it rains all day and this red mud from work in turns to clay
And clay ain't nothing but a fancy name for mud red mud
Red mud (red mud red mud) red mud (red mud red mud)
I've worked and sweated all my life in red mud
I'm just a broken hearted old man tryin' to make my living from the soil
I'm not looking here for fame or gold man just wanna be rewarded for my toil
Red mud (red mud red mud) red mud (red mud red mud)
You grieve me but I just can't leave you red mud (red mud)
The sun grows hotter each day and the sweat keeps on rolling down my face
My back is bendin' and my hair is grey from work in red mud
Red mud (red mud red mud) red mud (red mud red mud)
Yes or no, what will it be is it him or is it me
In my heart I've got to know will it be, yes or no
Yes or no, have I the chance please don't end our sweet romance
Won't you please let our love grow, will it be, yes or no
Though I know that I'd been so foolish to think that no one else could see
You've got a heart just made for love, please bring it back to me
Yes or no, please tell me true for you know I still love you
Please tell me you won't go, will it be, yes or no
Please tell me you won't go will let be, yes or no
Uh, huh, huh, please tell me you won't go will let be, yes or no
I'm on that long long road to Woodbine Valley where a broken heart can go
I've heard a heart can heal there in that valley where the warm breezes blow
Soft rivers flow
No tears will ever fall the skies are sunny trouble and sorrow far behind
And no one cares at all or seems to worry about that once upon a time
When love was kind
Sometimes in our lives it's good to know
That there's a place to go and hide those tears
They tell the story of a lost and broken love
And golden dreams of life that disappear
Each one of us can go to Woodbine Valley where ever true love goes astray
Your dreams will start to grow releasing old mem'ries
All the sad songs, all the bad words, all the hurts and all the tears
This is all that's left of us, where do we go from here?
All our memories now are bitter, our sweet days now lonely years
This is all that's left of us, where do we go from here?
Where do we go from the ashes of the flame that burn so bright?
Where do we go from the darkness that's deeper than any night?
All our love songs now are echoes, all our smiles now lonely tears
This is all that's left of us, where do we go from here
(All our love songs now are echoes)
All our smiles now lonely tears
This is all that's left of us, where do we go from here?
The way you fix my tie in the morning
And always brush my coat before I go
The hurried kiss I get from you when I'm leaving
It's the little things that make me love you so
The way you take my arm when we go walking
Way you hold my hand when we're at a show
The way your eyes say more than you when we're talking
It's the little things that make me love you so
Those little things you do that make me love you
They're all I need to make my dreams come true
And you know what tears me all to pieces
Is the way you tell me that you love me too
The way you know just how I like my coffee
And how you chase away my every care
And the way you go around turning lights down low
It's the little things that make me love you so
If time were not a moving thing and I could make it stay this hour
The love we share would always be there'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light and make us realize all night it's over
When you walk away from me there is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes against the sun that rises over land
I watch you walk away somehow I have to let you go cause it's over
If you knew just how I really feel you might be turning yet
There are so many times people have to love and then forget
Oh though there might have been a way I have to force myself to say it's over
So I turn my back and turn my colar to the wind
Move along in silence trying not to think at all
I send my feet before me walk the silence street before me it's over
[ ac.guitar ]
Oh, who will take my place in your heart when I'm gone
Who'll be by your side when you're telling me goodbye
Tell me who will know the bliss of your tender loving kiss
The kisses I will miss when I'm gone
When I'm gone, gone take your new love to the places where we go
Don't tell him all those sweet lies that made me love you so
Oh, you know I'll set you free but I'll hang around to see
Who'll take the place of me when I'm gone
Oh, who will take my place in your heart when I'm gone
Who will hold your charms leavin' me with empty arms
Tell me what you're gonna do when your heart breaks right into
Who'll you tell your troubles to when I'm gone
When I'm gone, gone take your new love to the places where we go
Don't tell him all those sweet lies that made me love you so
Oh, you know I'll set you free but I'll hang around to see
Young love, young love
Young love, young love
They say, for every boy an' girl
There's just one love in this whole world
And I know, I found mine
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one can take your place
Ever in my heart
Young love, first love
Filled with true devotion
Young love, our love
We share with deep emotion
Emotion, emotion
Oh, just one kiss from your sweet lips
Will tell me that your love is real
And I can feel, that it's true
We will vow to one another
There will never be another
Love for you or for me
Young love, first love
Filled with true devotion
Young love, our love
We share with deep emotion
Emotion
YOU'RE THE REASON I'M IN LOVE

(You're the reason you're the reason you're the reason I'm in love)
You're the reason I'm in love you're my shining star above
You're my every dream come true that's why I love you like I do
Adam shared his love with Eve some may doubt but I believe
I would give my life for you that's why I love you like I do
(I would give my life for you) that's why I love you like I do
You're the reason I'm in love...

Is a teenage touch
Not too young
Not too old
Oh no, just right

She got that touch
A teenage touch
Crewcut hair and blue suede shoes
Makes a guy look keen
Seventeen and old blue jeans
Makes a goddess queen
When she got that touch
A touch I love
A touch I love
Is a teenage touch
Stroll baby
Bop baby
Love so much
You got that touch

All my life I knew Tommy Brown
We grew up together in the same hometown
I never thought Tommy was such a bad guy
But folks would always whispered when he walked by
Tom, Tom, Tommy Brown meanest boy in all the town
Everybody said he'd turned out bad
They said he had stole and I guess he had
But nobody offered him a helping hand
They just went and said over again
Oh Tom, Tom, Tommy Brown meanest boy in all the town
I loved a girl named Betty Lou strange thing was Tom loved her too
She was kind to him and seemed to understand
That if somebody loved him he could be a man
The three of us were the best of friends
And stuck together through thick and thin
But we all knew that the time would come
She'd have to choose between me and Tom
Oh Tom, Tom, Tommy Brown meanest boy in all the town
Then came Pearl Harbor and the war was on
I answered the call and so did Tom
When we laughed at Betty we would plainly see
She had made her choice and the guy was me
We landed in Hadley the fighting was hard
Many were dying and the rest were tired
Every man there gave his very best
But who was the one that I'd fought to rest
Tom, Tom, Tommy Brown bravest boy in all the town
We were both in a fox hole the bullets were flying
When an enemy soldier slipped up behind
He aimed at me but Tom acted fast
He jumped between and I heard the blast
I got the soldier too late I could see
'Cause Tom stopped the bullet that was meant for me
His body crumpled the smoke cleared away
And it seemed to me he had a smile on his face
So Tom, Tom, Tommy Brown bravest boy in all the town
We buried him there and left across the sea
Where I wrote these words he died for me
And nobody knew but the one of us he died to save the boy she loved
Tom, Tom, Tommy Brown bravest boy in all the town
Three in a room three in a room
You and me and your friend on the phone
The telephone rings just one of those things
You answer like it's just a friend
But I know different it's him again
We both know so why pretend
Three in a room three in a room
When I thought that he were alone
Three in a room three in a room
You and me and your friend on the phone
I sit here and listen my heart breaks inside
To know that you do this to me
You're laughing talking he answers your gift
Do you think I'm too blind to see?
Three in a room three in a room
When I thought that he were alone
Three in a room three in a room
You and me and your friend on the phone
