Out where the bright lights are glowing you're drawn like a moth to a flame
You laugh while the wine's overflowing while I sit and whisper your name
Four walls to hear me four walls to see four walls too near me closing in on me
Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting but my walls have nothing to say
I'm made for love not for hating but here where you left me I'll stay
One night with you is like heaven and so while I'm walking this floor
I listen for steps in the hallway and wait for your knock on my door
Four walls to hear me four walls to see four walls too near me closing in on me
All the time, yes darling, all the time
Tenderly, constantly I'll love you
Every day I'll prove it, every day
In happiness or loneliness I'll love you
Other arms may tempt me, don't let it worry you
For even when they tempt me I'll never be untrue
All the time, yes darling, all the time
Through the years, smiles or tears I'll love you
Other arms may tempt me, don't let it worry you
For even when they tempt me I'll never be untrue
All the time, yes darling, all the time
If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down
If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

On the wings of a snow white dove he sends his pure sweet love
A sign from above on the wings of a dove
When troubles surround us when evils come the body grows weak the spirit grows numb
When these things beset us God doesn't forget us
He sends down his love on the wings of a dove
On the wings of a snow white dove...
[ guitar ]
When Noah had drifted on the flood many days he searched for land in various ways
Those troubles beset him God didn't forget him
He sent down his love on the wings of a dove
Welcome to my world won't you come on in miracles I guess still happen now and then
Step into my heart leave your cares behind welcome to my world built with you in mind
Knock and the door will open seek and you will find
Ask and you'll be givin' the key to this world of mine
I'll be waiting here with my arms unfurl waiting just for you welcome to my world
[ steel ]
Your jealous heart I can't understand you get mad if I look at another man
No fate in your love no respect for mine making things up in your selfrighteous mind
You're no angel yourself why pretend to be you may fool others but you can't fool me
Take away false strife what have you got left
Climb off your high horse you're no angel yourself
[ steel ]
When we took the vows that made us one our love was sweet and life was fun
Sure I made mistakes before I met you but at yourself didn't you make them too
Yesterday's promise got you everything I had
You took all the best of me and now you call me bad
You made me careless with the pretty things you'd say
Now yesterday's promise makes me crying today
Yesterday's promise made the fire within me burn
Today there's only bitter ashes everywhere I turn
Tomorrow may be better when the hurt has gone away
But yesterday's promise makes me crying today
[ steel ]
Yesterday's promise made just one thing in mind
But to a girl it sounds like love when it's love she hopes to find
Tomorrow I may find it when the hurt has gone away
You lay so easy on my mind oh so easy on my mind
Whenever I need you all I have to do is close my eyes
You lay so easy on my mind yes so easy on my mind
Wrap me in your warmness and let me feel your body touchin' mine
Everything you say and do finds me wanting more of you
And each moment brings to life a mental dream
Heaven's something real it's something I can feel
When I feel your angel touch all over me
You lay so easy on my mind yes so easy on my mind
Oh there's not a part of me that your sweet love don't reach to satisfy
[ steel ]
Every day I need you more you're the one I'm living for
And the best you'll ever give you've given me
You completely satisfy every need I have inside
And I pray you'll never take your love from me
You lay so easy on my mind oh so easy on my mind
There's not a part of me that your sweet love don't reach to satisfy
You always have your way with me each time you left my heart felt the chill
But I've only been a past time to you
No you don't love me but you're afraid somebody will
You're afraid someone else will come along who cares
Someone whose love I could share
You've given promises you won't fullfil
No you don't love me but you're afraid somebody will
[ steel ]
You always have your way with me you never gave my heart love it could feel
The love you give to me is not real
No you don't love me but you're afraid somebody will
Lately you spent a lot of time at parties
Your head held high in a world of make believe
You don't hear a word that I tell you
And I can see you no longer care for me
You don't hear a word that I'm sayin'
May as well be talkin' to the ceilin'
I want you to know how much I love you
I talk to you all the time but you don't hear
If you'd stop for a minute and listen
You would save yourself a lot of tears
Your party pals won't love you like I do
I've tried to tell you but you don't hear
You don't hear a word that I'm sayin'
May as well be talkin' to the ceilin'
I want you to know how much I love you
I talk to you all the time but you don't hear
You can't conceal a heart that's broken no matter what you say or do
I still recall words that were spoken the night you said that we were through
My darling I still want you near me you know I loved you from the start
You may conceal the teardrops falling but you can't conceal a broken heart
[ fiddle ]
You can't conceal a heart that's broken although you cry to hide you're blue
I know for me you feel no longing for in your heart there is no room
The lonesome night I sit alone dear I'm lonesome since we've been apart
You and me together life's a pleasure
But without your love life's not complete
And I feel the same about you, darling
We belong together you and me
We'll share love's joy and life's sorrow
You belong to me I belong to you
When you hold my hand the sun shines brighter
When you smile at me I lose my blues
You and me together life's a pleasure
But without your love life's not complete
And I feel the same about you, darling
We belong together you and me
Don't ever let nothing come between us
Think our lonely life apart would be
Gossiping tongue can never change me darling
Your love means more than life to me
You and me together life's a pleasure
But without your love life's not complete
And I feel the same about you, darling
As you leave to meet the girl who's now your number one
Look at me I'm the wreck of number two
That someone else is that you've made this morning
When you told me what you plan to do
Someone else now occupies the first place in your heart
Look at me I'm the wreck of number two
Take a look as you go at the pieces of the one who gave all she had to you
As you leave to meet the girl who's now your number one
Look at me I'm the wreck of number two
[ steel ]
I'm grateful that my pride is filled of standing
So I don't have to beg you not to go
They tell me that the good Lord watches over fools like me
Don't think twice about this fool who loves you so
Take a look as you go...
Can't you see I love you please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do cause I don't have a wooden heart
And if you say goodbye then I know that I would cry
Maybe I would die cause I don't have a wooden heart
There's no string upon this love of mine it was always you from the start
Treat me nice treat me good treat me like you really should
Cause I'm not made of wood and I don't have a wooden heart
Muss i denn muss i denn zum Stdtele hinaus Stdtele hinaus
Und du mein Schatz bleibst hier
Muss i denn muss i denn zum Stdtele hinaus Stdtele hinaus
Und du mein Schatz bleibst hier
There's no strings upon this love of mine it was always you the start
Sei mir gutn sei mir gut sei mir wie du wirklich sollst
Have you ever been awaken by the crowing of a rooster
While the night's dew is still heavy on the ground
And the voice of Uncle Ben seems to break the morning silence
Bringing lights to windows all around
Well it's time to rise and shine start another hard work day
And get the cows in and start the milking chores
It's nice to think about it can't even visit well I wonder could I live there anymore
[ guitar - steel ]
Talking about the smell of cornbread cooking on a wood stove
Seems to bring a picture to my mind
Of a little three room house with mama in the kitchen
But she can't stop to talk ain't got the time
She's a fixing daddy's supper he's a working over time
Trying to pay our bill at grocery store
It's nice to think about it can't even visit well I wonder could I live there anymore
[ guitar - steel ]
As I think about my childhood and of my old hometown
I don't really miss 'em like before
It's nice to think about it can't even visit well I wonder could I live there anymore
Tie a string around your finger leave a note upon your desk
Don't forget little things that happened to bring you happiness
It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor just remember the one you adore
So hold her and tell her you love her if you're the man that remembers her
A woman never forgets all the little things you do
A woman never forgets all the mem'ries you bring her
It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor just remember the one you adore
So hold her and tell her you love her if you're the man that remembers her
[ piano ]
A woman never forgets...
If you could read my mind you wouldn't be so blind
Can't you see that I'm in love with you
My lips would make no sound my head just spins around
My tongue get tired and I can't make a sound
I'd like to make you mine and squeeze you till you're blind
Bless your little heart you're just my kind
I'd like for you to know I'm too wiseful to say
So I'd like to be the winner of your heart
[ fiddle ]
I can't eat a bite I've lost my apetite I'm so lovesick I think I'm gonna die
When I hear your name I simply go insane my friends all think I'm sick but I'm in love
I've been living a new way of life that I love so
But I can see the clouds are gathering and the storm will wreck our home
For last night, she held you tightly and you didn't even shove
This is true for I've been watching from the window up above
You must have thought that I was sleeping and I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you and the way your heart can sin
I thought we belong together and our hearts fit like a glove
But I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above
From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
Heard you whisper to her softly that our marriage was all wrong
But I hope she makes you happy, that you'll never lose her love
I lost mine while I was watching from the window up above
Now I wished I could be dreaming and wake up to a love that's true
Cause we stuck together through the lean lean years
The lean and hungry years were filled with strife
Now we're still together in the green green years
And we'll still together for the rest of our life
I've seen love come and gone just like the winter's snow
I saw a boy break his darling's heart
But his love wasn't true like my live is for you
And darling I will never break your heart
Cause we stuck together...
[ piano ]
At first it was so hard for us to make a start but we kept on trying every day
Your kisses were so sweet and you were nice to me
And darling you slipped me off my feet
Your lawyer called and said he had the papers all prepared
To sign my name was all I had to do
He saw the judge, now he seen me, there's only one thing left
Will your lawyer talk to God for you?
Will your lawyer talk to God and plead your case up on high
And defend the way you broke my heart in two?
Man made laws to set you free on earth but is God satisfied
Will your lawyer talk to God for you?
We all face that final judgment and it's very strict they say
When your time comes, I wonder what you'll do
Will you bow your head in shame or will you turn your head away
Or will your lawyer talk to God for you?
Will your lawyer talk to God and plead your case up on high
And defend the way you broke my heart in two?
Man made laws to set you free on earth but is God satisfied
[ Johnny Wright ]
To Canaan's land I'm on my way where the soul of men never dies
My darkest night will turn today where the soul of men never dies
No sad farewell no tea dimmed eyes where all his love and the soul never dies
[ piano ]
A rose is bloomin' there for me where the soul of men never dies
And I will spend eternity where the soul of men never dies
No sad farewell no tear dimmed eyes where all is loved and the soul never dies
[ steel ]
I'm on my way to that fair land where the soul of men never dies
Where there will be no parting hand where the soul of men never dies
More than once I've cried because impatience let me down
I could see the gold before the gold was found
Everytime I've trusted love to lead me by the hand
It circled back and left me where I stand
Where is my castle where is my destiny how much longer will I have to dream
Where is my sunshine where is my valley where is the love that's meant for me
[ guitar - steel ]
The next time I cross over that old bridge I'm gonna stay
I don't care if the river washes it away
Cause I'm not gonna take one step until the day I find
A man with a faithful heart and a made-up mind
You've got on a little high horse and you said that this was end
You jumped right up and said goodbye and out the door you went
Well your --- now but you'll soon pull down
I know that you'll be coming back when your little high horse runs down
I'm not gonna worry because you're gone I know that you won't stay
For the little high horse that you're on now will soon fade away
And just as soon as you'll pull off you'll be back around
I know that you'll be coming back when your little high horse runs down
[ guitar ]
I know that it won't be long till you try to call
But I'm gonna let the phone ring till it rings off the wall
I'll make you think that I've stepped out bet I'm not around
I know that you'll be coming back when your little high horse runs down
I'm not gonna worry...
When you left I thought that I would soon get over you
Even told myself that I would find somebody too
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me
Yes I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me
[ steel ]
Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute I'm alive I'm hurtin' through and through
And as long as I live I know I won't be free
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me
WHAT I BELIEVE DEAR (IS ALL UP TO YOU)
Writers Tott Wilson, Sue Wilson
What I believe, dear, is all up to you
Those things they are saying
Don't have to be true
I'll tell my heart they lied
All gossip can't be true
For what I believe, dear, is all up to you
I'll put my faith in you as long as I live
To prove that my love is true
What more can I give
Let the rumors fly, who cares
As long as you're true
For what I believe, dear, is all up to you
What am I living for if not for you what am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you oh nobody else nobody else will do
What am I longing for each lonely night to feel your lips to mine to hold you tight
You'll be the only one my whole life through oh nobody else nobody else will do
I want you close to me that's all I know I want you all the time because I love you so
What am I living for if not for you what am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you oh nobody else nobody else will do
The days have been long and I have been lonesome
Recalling those dreams that never came true
The nights have been lonely but now that's all over
I've payed my debt for trusting in you
Every day your mem'ry grows dimmer
Clouds drift away, sunshine peeps through
Every day no longer you haunt me
My conscience is clear, what about you?
It's hard to believe that you are the same one
That once meant so much and I loved her so true
It's hard to know I've worshiped to false one
But I've paid for it, what about you?
Every day your mem'ry grows dimmer
Clouds drift away, sunshine peeps through
Every day no longer you haunt me
[ Johnny ]
God creates the flowers and trees the little birds that we hear sing
The mountains high and the mighty seas we owe God for evertything
God walks these beutiful hills with me he's by my side sunshine or rain
Creating beauty for all to see we owe God for evertything
God creates the flowers...
[ guitar ]
God loves the poor and rich alike bringing comfort in sorrow and pain
He always helps us to see the light we owe God for evertything
God creates the flowers...
We drifted far apart from each other but your love it didn't die within my heart
You're asking me once more to forgive you
I'll give you one more chance and pray that we will never part
We need one more chance to be together to talk and get all troubles straighten out
Yes come on back to me we'll take up where we left of
We need one more chance one more chance to save our love
[ steel ]
I'll try oh yes I'll try to make things up to you
There'll be no more tears fall from your eyes
Just having you around and knowing that you're mine
Is good enough for me you don't have to apologize
We said our goodbyes long ago never thinking we'd miss each other so
All the memories we can't leave behind oh we must have been out of our minds
I thought I loved another not you how foolish I thought the same too
They both turned out to be the wrong kinds oh we must have been out of our minds
[ steel ]
Let's forgive and forget the past we've known
And reap together the wild seeds we've sowed
Surely they can forgive us and find that we must have been out of our minds
I thought I loved another...
We missed you and we're glad you'll come home
The hours were never so lonely, my eyes were never so strange
From watching and waiting and crying for you
And hoping you'd come back again
Me and my heart and my lips and my arms
We missed you each day you were gone
Me and my heart and my lips and my arms
We missed you and we're glad you'll come home
A hope against hope you still love me
There were so many memories I care
And though you had gone many miles from my side
My love followed you every step
Me and my heart and my lips and my arms
We missed you each day you were gone
Me and my heart and my lips and my arms
One day an angel came down from heaven an envoy of our God above
From this great world to choose a token that all his throng in heaven would love
We buried her beneath the willow with heads bowed low we walked away
God needed her to sing in heaven we'll meet again on that bright day
[ organ ]
A soft song fell within his hearing he picked our girl her soul her voice
Today our partner sings in heaven God praised the angel for his choice
Come here heart and let me talk to you before you up and fall for someone new
It's alright to go on out and have yourself a ball but watch it heart don't fall
It's a long way for one to drop it's not the fall that hurts it's that sudden stop
You've got fooled once before as you recall so watch it heart don't fall
[ steel ]
If you meet somebody who says they love you
Make sure the things they're telling you heart is true
You can trust one but you can't trust them all so watch it heart don't fall
It's a long way for one to drop...
Wasting my time acting happy and carefree the one hurting most that's got to be me
I should win an Oscar my acting was first class
You were just a bad memory from out of my past
Dancing and laughing the world at my feet
Then the life of a party cried herself to sleep
Wasting my time acting happy and carefree the one hurting most that's got to be me
[ steel ]
My make believe world is no good for me but it only hurts me more when I face relity
I'm tired of pretending there's nothing else to do
But there's one thing for certain I'll keep on loving you
Wait a little longer please, Jesus
There are so many still wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please, Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness
Wait a little longer please, Jesus
There are so many still wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please, Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
We may look into the skies and tears will fill our eyes
When our burdened hearts grow heavier with each day
First we cry, oh Lord, please come, come and take your children home
Then we look around and suddenly we say
Wait a little longer please, Jesus
There are so many still wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please, Jesus
Do you live from day to day with no God up above
In your sin you had rather stay never thinking of his love
Too far from God to ever hear him call deep in sin you have drifted too far
Won't you turn back if Jesus' your all before you travel too far from God
[ ac.guitar ]
In a mansion you may live but if it's filled with sin
No room for Jesus do you give so he pleased to enter in
Too far from God...
[ ac.guitar ]
Soon this world is bound to end the fire will surely fall
Will you still be lost in sin too far to hear him call
Oh you tell me that you love me
Yes you tell me that you care
That tomorrow we'll be married
But tomorrow's never there
No tomorrow never comes
No tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me
But tomorrow never comes
Oh, come on in there, Jerry Smith
Oh, Russ Higgs now
Many weeks now have I waited
Many long nights have I cried
Just to see that happy morning
When I'd have you by my side
No tomorrow never comes
No tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me
Well, this is it, that day is here
That day I knew would come
When you would leave me, dear
Well, here I sit while teardrops fall
And wonder why I care
When you don't care at all
But I'm a fool that way
From a way back when
A fool who take you back
If you'd come back again
But this is it, you're gone
You're free, you'll find another love
But this is it for me
Well, this is it, that day is here
It's no surprising, yet
I can't hold back the tears
Well, here I sit and try to guess
How such an empty room's
So full of loneliness
Well even the clock has stopped
Somehow I guess you knew
That time's run out from me
It's over, it's all through
Yes, this is it, you're gone
You're free, you'll find another love
I might have been a helpless soul with nothing much in store
I might have been without a gold, just dream and nothing more
I might have known life alone but that's where you came in
Your loving arms have saved me from the things I might have been
I might have been the kind who roam a stranger everywhere
Or one of those who stay at home with no one's lips to share
But your sweet kiss has changed all this and made my life begin
Keep loving me, don't let me be the things I might have been
I might have been the kind who roam a stranger everywhere
Or one of those who stay at home with no one's lips to share
But your sweet kiss has changed all this and made my life begin
They may try to plan my life as people often do
But they can't change the way I feel for you
They say a rich young love could better play the part
But they can't take your love from my heart
They say I should forget you and find somebody new
Why can't they see you're meant for me and no one else could ever do
So while they plan their next attack let's really play it smart
And build a wall of defence around our hearts
[ fiddle - steel ]
They have tried to use your past to prove you'd be untrue
But they can't wreck my trust and faith in you
They say you're reckless kind would never get a start
But they can't take your love from my heart
It's been here since you've been gone
It's been hanging 'round too long
A thing called sadness, not much of a friend
When you walked out, it walked in
In every chair where I sit down
It follows me all over town
A thing called sadness, not much of a friend
When you walked out, it walked in
What in the world am I gonna do?
This old friend can't take the place of you
It only brings back memories of you
And all the things that we used to do
In every chair where I sit down
It follows me all over town
A thing called sadness, not much of a friend
I may look old for my years and these wrinkles on my face
They were put there by my kids I love so dear
They won't listen to what I say and it's turning my hair gray
The kids grow older and hurt me more each year
When they were little they sat on my knee I gave them all my love from the start
Now they're too big to sit on my knee they're stepping all over my heart
They're my own flesh and blood so no matter what they do
I will love them in a mother's special way
I pray to God each day and night that my kids turn out right
These are heartaches every mother has to pay
When they were little...
Once I loved you darling and it thrilled me through and through
I must admit I wanted only you
Your kisses left me restless when you said we'd never part
Your lips are sweet as honey but there's poison in your heart
[ fiddle - steel ]
The way that you two timed is a sin and it's a shame
You even said you'd like to change my name
You vowed that you'll be faithful but you lied right from the start
Your lips are sweet as honey but there's poison in your heart
[ steel - fiddle ]
Maybe I'll find that faded kind can let me love again
Then I'll forget my fickle dreams of you
It's just too bad we've never had an even-steven start
If you're tired of the life that you're living then why don't you change it now
For no one knows what tomorrow holds there's no greater time than now
There's no greater time than now there's no greater time than now
Don't let this chance pass for it could be your last there's no greater time than now
[ steel ]
So come while the choir is singing oh come while time still allows
Oh come and be safe before you go away there's no greater time than now
THE THIRD MAN
(Bobby Helms - Teddy Wilburn - Frances Heighton)
« © '65 Tree Publishing »
Last night I dreamed I took a walk up Calvary's lonely hill
The things I saw with my own eyes could not have been more real
I saw upon three crosses three men in agony
Two cried out for mercy and the third man he looked at me
And oh the hurt in this man's eyes that just broke my heart in two
It seemed I could hear him say son I'm doing this for you
I knelt beneath the third mean's cross and slowly bowed my head
I reached out to touch his feet and it stained my hand's with red
And when I heard him cry in pain I raised my eyes to see
The blood spilled from the third man's side and some of it spilled on me
The third man wore a crown of thorns spikes held him to the tree
And I heard him say oh my God my God why hast Thou forsaken me
And there within a mighty crowd the ones who mocked him cried
King save Thyself if thou art King and then the third man died
Suddenly I heard the thunder roll I saw the lightening pierce the sky
The third man was still hanging there and I began to cry
I saw the boulders fall and heard the breaking of the ground
Then I awoke and though I dreamed I touched my cheek and found
My eyes were wet where I had cried a dream I wished I knew
THE TEDDY BEAR SONG
(Nick Nixon - Don Earl)
« © '72 Champion Music »
I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose
A shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
Sittin' on the shelf in the local department store
With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for
I wish I was a Teddy Bear not living nor loving nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear and I'm wishin' I hadn't fallen in love with you
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around to hurt all the time
I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
And I never would've ever had to learn how to cry
I wish I was a Teddy Bear...
I wish I had a string you'd pull to make me say hi I'm Teddy ain't that a lovely day
Then I'd know everytime I've spoke the words were right
And no one would know the mess I made in my life
I wish I was a Teddy Bear...
A night with no moonlight, a day with no sun
A plain with no palace, a watch that won't run
A tree with no branches, a rose without dew
A song with no music, that's me without you
A train with no whistle, a car with no gas
A well with no water, a show with no cast
A love with no future, a sky with no blue
A girl with no sweetheart, that's me without you
A bank with no money, a pinch with no pin
A book with no story, a top that won't spin
A chair with no bottom, a rig with no crew
A ship with no rudder, that's me without you
A train with no whistle, a car with no gas
A well with no water, a show with no cast
A love with no future, a sky with no blue
You had quite a good thing goin' with the girls you used to knowin'
You went up and down your list just like a yo-yo
And though it may be hard to stop it I'm afraid you'll have to drop it
Cause if you want me to love you that's a no no
I know you're used to goin' places with them lights and painted faces
Where the dancing girls do something they call go-go
I don't want to spoil your fun now but if I'm the only one now
And if you want me to love you that's a no no
You know a no no means baby shouldn't touch if baby really loves his mama so much
So if you just can't resist 'em if they're not out of your system
And if there's some more wild oats you've got to sow
Just remember while you're sowin' I'll be a packin' up and goin'
Cause I've told you many times that that's a no no
[ guitar - steel ]
You know a no no means baby shouldn't touch if baby really loves his mama so much
So if some old flame starts burning or if you should get to yearning
To go back to where those women that you know go
Don't come home expecting mama's a waitin' here in her pajamas
Cause I've told you many times that that's a no no
TAKE THESE CHAINS FROM MY HEART
Writers Fred Rose, Hy Heath
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these tears from my eyes and set me free
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new let me find a new love too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Give my heart just a word of sympathy
Be as fair to my heart as you can be
Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Sugar in the morning sugar in the evening sugar at suppertime
Be my little sugar and love me all the time
Honey in the morning honey in the evening honey at suppertime
Be my little honey and love me all the time
Now sugar time is anytime cause you're near
Don't you roam just be my honeycomb we'll live in a heaven of bliss
Sugar in the morning...
[ piano ]
(Be my little honey and love me all the time)
[ guitar ]
(Be my little honey and love me all the time)
Now sugar time is anytime...
Sugar in the morning sugar in the evening sugar at suppertime
Angray words were spoken and you turned and left me in a cloud of gloom
I knew when you took the car you'd drive around till you found a saloon
Grip some pretty woman there makes over you and start that burning glow
Fight the urge to hold her tight just walk away refuse her tell her no
Step aside if she tries to get near you lock your heart if she starts making time
Turn your head if she says that she needs you step aside please don't step out of line
[ fiddle ]
Don't feel bitter baby just because of something that was said so cruel
Stop before you go too far control yourself don't turn into a fool
Don't let her get close to you cause if you do you won't be very strong
Listen to your conscience now and keep me from being sorry later on
Step aside if she tries...
Stand beside me stand beside me you're the only one who ever made me care
I can't stand to think that I might be alone
Not alone again not the way it was back then
Before you walked into my heart and told me we would never part
So stand beside me don't ever let me be alone again
Stand beside me stand beside me for if I should lose you I just couldn't get anywhere
Stand beside me stand beside me you're the only one who ever made me care
There'll be times when everything goes wrong
But darling I won't care if I know you're standing there
No matter what we have to do together we can see it through
So stand beside me and I'll be standing right there next to you
Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer
Someday you'll reach for me I won't be there
For you've grown tired of all the love I gave you
But someday you'll wish that I still care
All through these years how I have loved you still I know I claimed you for my own
Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer for someday you'll find yourself alone
[ piano - steel ]
When your hair has turned from gold to silver
And your eyes are dimmed by passing years
You'll remember darling that I told you there will be no one to dry your tears
There'll come a time in your life dear when you'll need someone who will care
Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer
When the clock strikes one I stare at the door
By the time it reaches two I'm walking the floor
When the hands oh so gently drop down on the three
I'm alone in a world where love used to be
There are six lonely hours before dawn and each one is a lifetime since you are gone
I can't face up the living with the sun in the sky but for six lonely hours I die
[ piano ]
When the chimes ring out a lonesome old choir
Sweet mem'ries rush in till I can't stand much more
At five all the heartaches I've ever known are there right with me that last hour alone
If from the past you have gone astray and at times you cannot see the way
Can't you hear the Lord he's calling you today oh sinner kneel down and pray
Oh sinner just kneel and pray the Lord will hear your prayer today
Oh sinner kneel down and pray pray to the Lord your soul will be saved
[ piano ]
You may not have a friend in our wicked world of sin
If you turn to Jesus he'll take you in
Won't you listen to me just listen when I say oh sinner kneel down and pray
[ Kitty ]
Since my soul has been redeemed since from sin I may get gleamed
I'm singing his praise along the way
From my sins he sets me free when I'm sad he comforts me
I'm singing his praise along the way
(Happy his praise I'd gladly sing serving him now my Saviour king)
Oh hallelujah I'm singing his praise along the way
[ vibes ]
Come my friends and go with me someday soon my Lord I'll see
I'm singing his praise along the way
If you call on by today he will not turn you away
I'm singing his praise along the way
(Happy his praise...
[ guitar ]
While down here on earth below I keep singing as I go
I'm singing his praise along the way
When life here for me shall end up in heaven it'll just begin
I'm singing his praise along the way
(Happy his praise...
[ Bobby Wright ]
Well I wanna be a big star and wear the finest clothes
Rhinestone suits and cowbow boots and tall tips on the toast
And wail a lotta good hillbilly songs sing that country music and sing it loud and strong
I wanna get myself a great big band pick and sing all over the land
Play the one night stands and move right along
[ guitar ]
Well even as a youngster my daddy said to me
When you grow up I want you to sing in Grand Ole Opry
And wail a lotta good hillbilly songs...
[ steel ]
Well now that I'm older I'm happy as can be
Doin' guest shots on the Opry and acting on TV
And I'm wailing out them hillbilly songs
Singin' that country music and I'm singin' it loud and strong
I've got myself a great big band pickin' and singin' all over the land
Playin' the one night stands and movin' along
Sincerely oh yes sincerely cause I love you so dearly please say you'll be mine
Sincerely oh you know how I love you
I'll do anything for you please say you'll be mine
Oh Lord won't you tell me why I love that man so
He doesn't want me but I'll never never never never let him go
Sincerely oh you know how I love you
I'll do anything for you please say you'll be mine
Oh Lord won't you tell me...
Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright
'Round young virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night, shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly host sing hallelujah
Christ the Saviour is born, Christ the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night, son of God loves pure light
Radiant beam from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
You see her there at the bar cross the room
She looks like an angel with her paint and perfume
You'd like to meet her your conscience says no
Obey your conscience turn around boy and go
She's no angel she's no angel her wings are not real
She'll ruin your life it's your heart she can steal
She'll tell you tales to bring tears to your eyes
So don't you believe them for they're only lies
[ steel ]
You think if only she could your own
You'd be more contented than a king on his throne
You'd better not trust her it's wrong if you'd do
She's broken many hearts and she'll break your too
Playboy Charlie where you stayed last night
Came home this morning sun was shining bright
Blood shot eyes and mouth full of lies I'm fed up with your alibis
You know and I know you don't treat me right
I married you for love and all we do is fuss and fight
I'm no dumb dumb I know what it's about
You better shape up or you're gonna get out
[ steel ]
You stay out from midnight till dawn it doesn't hurt you cause I'm home alone
If you were me you wouldn't do me this way this is a game daddy too can play
You know and I know...
[ steel ]
When you reach that golden city
Friends and love you will see
When the saints come out to meet you
Oh, shake my mother's hand for me
Shake my mother's hand
And tell her happiness will there be
When the saints come out to meet you
Oh, shake my mother's hand for me
There are times I often wonder
How can all these trials be?
Time can't keep me here much longer
Oh, shake my mother's hand for me
Shake my mother's hand
And tell her happiness will there be
When the saints come out to meet you
Oh, shake my mother's hand for me
Over there you'll meet the Saviour
Many others you will see
When you'll have a talk with Jesus
Oh, shake my mother's hand for me
Shake my mother's hand
And tell her happiness will there be
When the saints come out to meet you
Oh, shake my mother's hand for me
Seven lonely days make one lonely week seven lonely nights make one lonely me
Ever since the time you told me we were through
Seven lonely days I cried and cried for you
Oh my darling you're crying hoo hoo hoo hoo
There's no use in denying I cried for you
What's your favorite past time just making me blue
Last week was the last time I cried for you
[ fiddle - guitar ]
Seven hankies blue I filled with my tears seven letters too I filled with my fears
Guess it never paced to make your lover blue
Seven lonely days I cried and cried for you
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That's where I know I'll find him resting
So I'm here, I'm searching for his grave
You ask me, stranger, why I made this journey
Why cross three thousand miles of rolling waves
Like many others, my darling was killed in action
That's why I'm here, I'm searching for his grave
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That's where I know I'll find him resting
So I'm here, I'm searching for his grave
When I come to the spot where he's sleeping
I know it will cause more heartaches inside
But I'll long to be by his side once more and tell him
Tell him that I love him and will until I die
Somewhere here among these many thousands
Of Americans who all died true and brave
That's where I know I'll find him resting
Little children do not worry
'Cause you still got lots of times
There's no need in walking backwards
Turn around and rise and shine
If your load always seems heavy
And you're always left behind
Pick yourself up from the ground
And jump right back and rise and shine
Rise and shine in the early morning
Shine your light off through the day
Makes no difference what they tell
You stand right up and have your say
Cause the good Lord said he loved you
And through him you're strict you're fine
Even though the world may use you
Turn around and rise and shine
Look at how they did to Jesus
While they nailed Him to the cross
But He did up there on Calvary
So the world would not be lost
So don't matter how they treat you
If they slap you in the face
Just remember Jesus loves you
On that cross He took your place
Rise and shine in the early morning
Shine your light off through the day
Makes no difference what they tell
You stand right up and have your say
Rise and shine in the early morning
Shine your light off through the day
Makes no difference what they tell
Right or wring I dreamed about you all through the night
I was in love with you the moment that you came into sight
I hesitate to tell that I held you in my arms oh so long
But in my mind I made you mine right or wrong
Right or wrong oh my darling will this dream of mine come true
Right or wrong what is your answer for you know I am too blue
Why do you wait and hesitate I've waited for you oh so long
Hear my request and answer yes right or wrong
[ steel - fiddle ]
Right or wrong I dreamed that you and I were truly wed
The organ played the choir sang I know just what that preacher said
I kissed your lips and in return I felt you hold me oh so long
Your life begun for we were one right or wrong
The lights are low and the jukebox is loud
As we make the rounds among the wild unruly crowd
One honky tonk to another where old friends meet
Got me this name Queen of Honky Tonk Street
Queen of Honky Tonk Street that's next to jukebox lane
You've gave me the name taught me how to play the game
Don't point your finger at me men should understand
That a honky tonk woman's good as a honky tonk man
[ guitar ]
The slurs at honky tonk angel will they ever end
Most women go honky tonkin' just to please their men
If we had stayed at home away from night life beat
I wouldn't have the name Queen of Honky Tonk Street
PAYING FOR THAT BACK STREET AFFAIR
Writers Jimmy Rule, Billy Wallace
Yes, I thought that you were true when I fell in love with you
For you told me you always would play square
Then I learned you had a home , that your wife had not gone wrong
And our love was just a backstreet affair
Was too late to say no when I found you'd fooled me so
For as time passed on I'd learned too much to care
Though I knew I must atone, but my will was not my own
I'm paying for that backstreet affair
You didn't count the cost, you gambled and I lost
Now I must pay with hours of deep despair
You still can live your life with a true, forgiving wife
But I can't live down our backstreet affair
The love I gave so free is left to torture me
Though I know it's hopeless and it isn't fair
But, still I must go on while the gossips spread are wrong
The Lord said stand up Paul and dry up your tears
You must preach my gospel for many long years
Go to DAMASCUS the way that is straight
You'll MEET ANANIAS and there you must wait
I counted on Jonah I counted on Cain I counted on Adam but he was the same
I counted on Judas but he proved untrue
Oh go tell the world Paul I'm counting on you
[ steel ]
Three days have gone by Lord and yet I don't see
But here stands my brother a talking with me
He says brother PAUL the Lord in the sky
He sends me to heal you and open your eyes
I'll send you to the GENTILES I'll send you to Rome
But Paul you must suffer till I call you home
You'll sleep in the desert you'll be wrecked out at sea

Is a game that's played by two

Still one cannot be true
We played this game of love before
But this time I hope I'll win
'Cause I don't think that I can go
Through this game of love again

ONE WEEK LATER
WITH WEBB PIERCE
Writer Gary Walker
One week later oh how I cried
Just one week later I wish I could die
You were so sure you could forget me
You didn't want me by your side
When someone new came and took you
I thought I would be glad to say goodbye
One week later I hurt deep inside
One week later my tears I couldn't hide
One week later oh how I cried
Yes one week later I wish I could die
I prayed for god to forgive me
Yes you broke a heart true as good
But now I relived every moment
We'll regret it until we grow old
One week later I hurt deep inside
One week later my tears I couldn't hide
One week later oh how I cried
ONE WAY TICKET TO THE SKY
Writers Johnnie Bailes, Walter Bailes
I've got my one way ticket to the sky happy oh happy am I
Walk with Jesus in the Holy Land shake my my dad and mother's hand
I've got my one way ticket to the sky
When we hear ol' Gabriel's trumpet blow
And we know the hand of God is surely nigh
My new hallelujah song I'll sing shouting praises to the King
I've got my one way ticket to the sky
I've got my one way ticket...
Soon the pearly gates will open wide
And the Saviour will lead us safe inside
God will wipe away our tears no more sorrow no more fears
I've got my one way ticket to the sky
I've got my one way ticket...
There's a mansion waiting for me there
That my Savior has built for me on high
How the tears of joy now flow as I gladly onward go
I've got my one way ticket to the sky
ONE DAY AT A TIME
Writers Kris Kristofferson, Marijohn Wilkin
I'm only human I'm just a woman
Help me believe and all i can be and all that i am
Show me the stairway I have to climb
and Lord for my sake please teach me to take one day at a time
One day at a time sweet Jesus (sweet jesus) that's all I'm asking of you
just Give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do
for Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine
So help me i pray show me the way one day at a time
lord Do you remember when you walked among men
Well Jesus you know you're looking below it's worse now than then
its Pushing and shoving bending my mind
So lord for my sake teach me to take one day at a time
One by one, we've broke each vow we made
It was you who lied, it was me who paid
As sure as there's a Heaven beyond the sun
We'll pay for our lies one by one
My plans and hopes have tumbled down
My castle of dreams plunged to the ground
How can you face me after what you've done?
You've shattered my dreams one by one
One by one, we've broke each vow we made
It was you who lied, it was me who paid
As sure as there's a Heaven beyond the sun
We'll pay for our lies one by one
How can you go to sleep at night?
Don't old memories make you long for daylight?
You'll pay the price after having your fun
You'll regret each mistake one by one
The love I treasured, you sold for gold
For worldly goods, you left me cold
You're happy now but the time will come
You're false loves will leave you one by one
One by one, you've broke each vow we made
It was you who lied, it was me who paid
As sure as there's a Heaven beyond the sun
Nobody but a fool would love you after the way you done me
Broke every vow, you made me broke every rule
Who'd lie awake all night, cry till you were out of sight
Loving you with all of her might, nobody but a fool
I don't know what it was that made me trust you like I did
Stars got in my eyes or either rocks got in my head
All I knew was your two lips kissed me heavenly
Till yesterday those tender lips kissed goodbye to me
Nobody but a fool would love you after the way you done me
Broke every vow, you made me broke every rule
Who'd lie awake all night, cry till you were out of sight
Loving you with all of her might, nobody but a fool
Well people tried to tell me how you'd hurt me
I suppose but I was blind as any bat and deaf as any post
You caught me like a tiger, I loved you like a lamb
And knowing I still do just shows me up for what I am
Nobody but a fool would love you after the way you done me
Broke every vow, you made me broke every rule
Who'd lie awake all night, cry till you were out of sight
Loving you with all of her might, nobody but a fool
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 darling ,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 darling, into my heart
I'm sorry, dear
(My heart echoes it back to me)
There's an emptiness tonight
There's a longing in my heart
For your tender loving smile
And sweet caress
Oh, if you could only see
What you're leaving did to me
You would come back
Dear and fill this loneliness
My heart echoes now that you're gone
Dear, my heart echoes with misery
Though you told me that we were through
Dear, my heart echoes it back to me
Though you said that we were through
I'll be waiting here for you
As I have, dear
Ever since we've been apart
I know, dear, that I was wrong
Without you, I can't go on
For you're always
In the echo of my heart
My heart echoes now that you're gone
Dear, my heart echoes with misery
Though you told me that we were through
We built a little wall around the two of us the two of us the two of us
We built a little wall around the two of us but the wall came tumblin' down
I built foundation with love and trust love and trust love and trust
I built foundation with love and trust but the wall came tumblin' down
I've made it even strong with devotion true devotion true devotion true
I've made it even strong with devotion true but my wall came tumblin' down
We built a little wall around...
[ ac.guitar ]
We made a little home with a little while lie a little white lie a little white lie
We made a little home with a little white lie and the wall came tumblin' down
You made a whole bigger when you told another lie
You told another lie you told another lie
You made a whole bigger when you told another lie abd my wall came tumblin' down
We built a little wall around...
[ ac.guitar ]
Down came the wall when you said goodbye you said goodbye you said goodbye
Down came the wall when you said goodbye yes my wall came tumblin' down
My whole world crumble down to the ground down to the ground down to the ground
My whole world crumble down to the ground my wall come tumblin' down
We built a little wall around...
If anything I am or hope to be if any compliments are paid to me
If any praises I recieve for anything that I achieve
I know they rightfully belong to you
For when I wandered you convence me that I could
Knowing you depended on me proved I should
And in your mind you never doubted that I would but what would I do if not for you
[ steel ]
I see admiration in your eyes and I believe you think I hung the moon
And if I feel like other women I'll find the will and try again
But anything I am begins with you
For when I wandered...
I'm almost ashamed now for people to know that you are the one I once worshipped so
For they didn't know you as you were then
My used to be darling I can't trust you again
My used to be darling once loving and treat
Today you're no more than a stranger to me
Too far you drifted in wild reckless fun
My used to be darling just look what you've done
[ fiddle ]
As I see you tonight in the dim lights of shame
I remember how proudly I once spoke your name
As you touched your lips to that bottle of wine
I remember the thrills when they used to touch mine
I followed you to Texas
You followed you to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I followed you to Alabama
Things looked good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
I had your child in Memphis
You heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska
To a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on
And now we've left Alaska
Because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us move on
Now all we have is each other
And a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on all alone
I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
For they're only fleeting things
Like a bird that's lost its mate in flight
I'm alone and, oh, so blue tonight
Like a piece of driftwood on the sea
May you never be alone like me
I believed the lies you told to me
When you whispered, "Dear, I worship thee"
Now here am I alone and blue
All because I love no one but you
I gave up my friends, I left my home
When you promised to be mine alone
Now you're gone, our love would never be
May you never be alone like me
In the Bible, God's own words to say
For every wrong someday you'll pay
I pray the Lord to set me free
MAKE UP YOUR MIND
Writers Jack Agglin, Eddie Hill, Johnnie Wright
If you'd make up your mind
Quit triflin' all the time
If you'd make up your mind, I still love you
If you'd quit foolin' around
And be the guy I thought I found
I'd love you if you'd just make up your mind
Go settle down
And quit your triflin' ways
'Cause the buggarman's gonna get you one of these days
If you'd just settle down
You'd be the sweetest guy in town
I'd love you if you'd just make up your mind
If you'd make up your mind
Quit flirtin' all the time
If you'd make up your mind, I still want you
If you'd quit seein' the town
And ev'ry girl that's hangin' around
I'd love you if you'd just make up your mind
Go settle down
And quit your triflin' ways
'Cause the buggarman's gonna get you one of these days
If you'd just settle down
You'd be the sweetest guy in town
Love love love is the answer love can bring our people back together
Love love love is the answer answer everybody's looking for
Everybody's talking bout the troubles of the world but no one can tell us what to do
I know a way to put a stop to all this bitterness
Here's the secret that I'll share with you
Love love love is the answer...
If you think you're ---
If that's the way you feel that's what you'll be
Just open up your heart and show the world the inner man
That your love shine out for all to see
Love love love is the answer...
Come to get the wisdom of the man from Galilee
He tries to show us all the better way
You can do your part by holding to the Golden Rule try a little kindness every day
(Let's regain the garden the beautiful garden we lost long ago through sin
Let's regain the garden the beautiful garden with open arms God will welcome you in)
Long ago there was a garden a beautiful garden that we all want to see someday
It was made by him above just for you and me to love
And someday we will live in the garden
(Let's regain the garden...
[ piano ]
If we regain the garden to live with our Saviour who bled and died for our sins
If we serve him every day then he'll take us away
To our home in that beautiful garden
If there ever was an angel then surely you must be one
If there ever was a perfect love when I look at you I see one
If there's heaven on earth then this must surely be
And I want you to be the last one to touch me
The last thing I remember before I go to sleep
Is the touch of your sweet lips softly kissing me
And I go to sleep a thinking how happy you make me
And I want you to be the last one to touch me
And when it's time to lay me down for my eternal sleep
Once more let your fingers softly touch my cheek
If I know that you have touched me then I can sleep in peace
I want you to be the last one to touch me
[ steel ]
And when the night is over and time will be no more
They say that we shall meet again upon the golden shore
And so when I awaken from my eternal sleep
I want you to be the first one to touch me
Kisses on occasion kind words are very few
You don't know I'm living you live just for you
I spend every hour each day doing things you want me to
Kisses on occasion are all I get from you
You tell me you don't have the time so I just walk the floor
And wonder why you don't take time for my love anymore
To you I just don't matter and it's tearing out my heart
Kisses on occasion are driving us apart
[ piano - steel ]
Kill him with kindness spoil him with love
Girls if your love life is failing if your man don't do like you should
I've got an old fashioned answer believe me it works pretty good
When he gets mean and sarcastic and salty as an old country ham
Follow my rules that I give you and a lion will turn into a lamb
Kill him with kindness spoil him with love handle him gently with a soft velvet glove
Give him the kisses that he's thinking of kill him with kindness spoil him with love
[ piano ]
Girls treat your man like a baby a trifle some cuddle some toys
Beneath all that's wagger and bluster he's nothing but a little old boy
And when you want some little do dat some trifle like a new diamond ring
Practice what I am preaching you'll see that it don't hurt a thing
Just when I needed you, you left and went away
You made my life so blue, both night and day
You left me here behind with a troubled worried mind
So broken hearted too just when I needed you
I cried, I cried, I prayed
I tried to forget you and never call your name
What a shame, what a shame
You're the one who was to blame
You're the one who proved untrue just when I needed you
You said it's best we part and never love again
And though it broke my heart I'm, oh, so plain
You know I love you still and, dear, I always will
Although you proved untrue just when I needed you
I cried, I cried, I prayed
I tried to forget you and never call your name
What a shame, what a shame
You're the one who was to blame
You're the one who proved untrue just when I needed you
No matter where you wander, no matter where you go
There's a longing in my heart for only you
I love you just the same and I want you back again
Blue ain't just a word it's a feeling
A feeling of loneliness that I can feel right now
Love has looked at me but tried to change me
I wished that love would take me just for what I am
Just for what I am, I want someone to love me
Someone who won't expect me to feel like that old mem'ry
Just for what they see just for being me
I want someone to love me just for what I am
Cry ain't just a sound it's a sadness
A sadness that lives with me and follows me around
Love wants me to be someone I can't be
I wished that love would take me just for what I am
Just for what I am, I want someone to love me
Someone who won't expect me to feel like that old mem'ry
Just for what they see just for being me
I'll walk just beyond the moon
Then, I'll stop and wait for you
My mother and my father were in love for fifty years
So, when dad died, we wondered why my mother shed no tears
We asked her once about it but she wouldn't tell us why
Instead, she'd walk outside each night, and smiled held the sky
And just before she left us, she called us to her side
She told us what my father said to her just before he died
I remember, when you said, you'd never leave me
Through these golden years, I've kept the same by two
But now, as I am going, please don't leave me
I'll walk just beyond the moon, then, I'll stop and wait for you
You can look up every night, and you'll see me, light the light
Where I'll watch for you to join me, someday, soon
We'll go looking through the stars, for the heaven that is ours
And I know, we'll find it soon, somewhere, just beyond the moon
I'll walk just beyond the moon, then, I'll stop and wait for you
I'll just sit there by a star and I'll watch you from afar
Till I see you walking toward me, someday, soon
Then, together, hand in hand, we'll find our promised land
And we'll settle down forever, darling
Just beyond the moon
I'll walk just beyond the moon
Night life and honky tonks that's your kind of fun
I don't go that round so I better run
At church on Sunday I never see you there
You're not looking for true love just a cheap affair
Just a cheap affair that's what love means to you
I'll keep searching somewhere there's a love that's true
If I'll never find him either here or there
At least I'll never settle for just a cheap affair
[ piano ]
Be honest and face it we come from different worlds
You have found out that I'm a good time girl
You don't really love me at least be fair
When our love is forever not just a cheap affair
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Hey, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Hey, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune was his lot
We got into a drifted bank and then we got upsot
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Hey, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
If I had the right to do you wrong I'd do you right and never do wrong
If I had the heart to leave you and part I'd give up my heart and stay
How could a girl in her right mind treat such a true love as you are unkind
No I couldn't hurt you I beloieve I would die
If I broke you heart dear and made you cry and made you cry
Jesus loved the devil out of me yes Jesus loved the devil out of me
When he took me by the hand old Satan just gave up and ran
Jesus loved the devil out of me
Life for me was filled with sin and shame the devil had a plan to claim my name
But just before I crossed eternal line Jesus let no Satan --- mine
Jesus loved the devil out of me...
No wills to live my future looks so cold the devil stood there waiting for my soul
But just before I walked into his arms the king of kings my king of kings
Reached for my hand and saved me from all harm
Jesus loved the devil out of me...
Jesus loved the devil out of me...
Jesus is coming soon Jesus is coming soon he tells us in his word to watch and pray
Jesus is coming soon Jesus is coming soon be ready for he may come today
We'll all meet together in the garden some sweet day
If we read and spread the gospel news
So let's all be ready so we can enter in oh don't be late he may take you today
Jesus is coming soon...
[ guitar ]
Don't take his love for granted as you travel through this world
Be thankful for the likes he's given you
So walk the straight and narrow for God's love is the way
Lift your eyes for heaven and pray every day
Jesus is coming soon...
Jealousy is there, no cure
Your distrust hurts me, darling, that's for sure
Have faith in my love or set me free
You are driving me crazy with jealousy
Jealousy, you must control
Your suspicious heart controls your life and soul
Don't you realize the shame it's causing me
Making me feel like a fool by jealousy
Jealous of the air, I breathe, don't be a fool
Your love I've never deceived
If you are in love, oh, can't you see
That you're wrecking my life with jealousy
Jealousy is there, no cure
Your distrust hurts me, darling, that's for sure
Have faith in my love or set me free
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma Cher Amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay o son of a gun
We'll have big fun on the bayou
Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me, oh, my, oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
Swap my mon to buy my John what he need o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma Cher Amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay o' son of a gun
We'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
Kin folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog, wild, me, oh, my, oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma Cher Amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay o' son of a gun
I received my invitation to your party and I hope that you don't think that I'll attend
Although I'm not conceding or a smarting
I still recall the things that might have been
I recall many times you said you love me before your someone new drove us apart
Did you invite me to your party cause you miss me
Or to let your friends all see my broken heart
[ guitar ]
So you see why I won't be there at your party
I'd see you and my heart would break anew
[ Bill Phillips ]
My heart is pounding it's beating faster because my heart just heard
That you've been cheating on me baby it's lies it's lies that I heard
I can never believe the stories because I love you so
And you promised you'd be faithful the lies just can't be true
They're not true they're not true let me hear the truth from you
Say you're mine all the time I won't let lies turn me from you
I am shaking my heart is aching just to be with you
Tell me you'll be mine forever the lies just can't be true
[ steel ]
They're not true...
