I Believe
(from
the LP "Sing Sacred Ballads")
Ervin Drake,
Jimmy Shirl, Al Stillman & Irvin Graham * 1956 Cromwell Music - ASCAP
I believe for
every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for every one who goes astray someone will come and show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that Someone in that great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a new born baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe

I Can Turn You Every Way But Loose
(from the
LP "Dottie West Sings")
Dottie West &
Bill West * 1965 Tree Publishing - BMI
You lived it up,
turned me down, now it's gonna be the other way around
I can turn you every way but loose
You take me in then turn me out, now we're gonna take it and turn about
I can turn you every way but loose
Chorus:
I can turn you every way but loose for I can never ever let you go
Can't stand to see you with someone else while I still love you, love you so
Don't ask me to let you go for ('cause) honey, I (you) just want you to know
I can turn you every way but loose
(Repeat chorus)

I Don't Hurt Anymore
(from the LP "The Sound Of Country Music")
Don Robertson
& Jack Rollins * 1953 Chappell Music - ASCAP
I don't hurt
anymore, all my teardrops are dry
No more walking the floor with that burning inside
Just to think it could be time has opened the door
And at last I am free I don't hurt anymore
Chorus:
No use to deny I wanted to die the day you said we were through
But now that I find you're out of my mind I can't believe that it's true
And I've forgotten somehow I cared so before
And at last I am free I don't hurt anymore
(Repeat chorus)
And I've forgotten somehow that I cared so before
It's so wonderful now I don't hurt anymore

I Don't Want To Play House
(Featuring Dale West)
(from the LP "What I'm Cut Out To Be")
Billy
Sherrill & Glenn Sutton * 1968 Algee Music - BMI
Today I sat alone at my
window
and I watched our little boy outside at play
With the little girl next door like so many times before
But something didn't seem quite right today
So I went outside to see what they were doing
And then the teardrops came my eyes blurred
Cause I heard him name the game and I hung my head in shame
When I heard our little boy say to her
Chorus:
I don't wanna play house
I know it can't be fun
I watched mommy and daddy
And if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house
It makes my mommy cry
'Cause when she played house my daddy said goodbye
(Repeat chorus)

I Dreamed Of An Old
Love Affair
(from the
LP "Here Comes My Baby")
Jimmy Davis,
Charles Mitchell & Bonnie Dodd * 1956 Peer International - BMI
Just like old
times you were here last night and gone was my worry and care
When I awoke I knew then that I had dreamed of an old love affair
I was alone in the darkness my dear many dreams ago you left me there
Sunlight told me you had gone and I had dreamed of an old love affair
I've been so lonely since you have gone I loved you with all of my heart
Heaven was mine when you smiled last night and said that we'd take a new
start
Life seems so empty without you today why, if it's sun or rain I just don't
care
For sunlight told me you had gone and I had dreamed of an old love affair

I Fall To Pieces
(from the
LP "Country Girl Singing Sensation")
Harlan Howard
& Hank Cochran * 1960 Tree Publishing - BMI
I fall to pieces
each time I see you again
I fall to pieces how can I be just you're friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried, but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me true, the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces

I Got You
(with Jimmy Dean)
(from the LP
"Country Boy & Country Girl")
Ricci Mareno
& Gordon Galbraith * 1968 Ricci Mareno Music - ASCAP
Don't get no
attention from the people on the street
They don't even notice us they just step right on our feet
Just two unnoticed people in this great big world are we
And when I think about it guess that's all we'll ever be
Chorus:
But I got you and you got me and if they look they can see that we don't
care
I got you and you got me, baby, that's all we will ever need
Looking through the window of a fancy diamond store
Going window shopping for the things we can't afford
People all around us with their noses in the air
They walk right on by us just like we weren't even there
(Repeat chorus
2x)

I Heard Our Song
(from the LP "Makin' Memories")
Sandy Mason *
1969 Dunbar Music - ASCAP
I heard an old song
today and it took me to yesterday
Back to the time when your love was mine
Now the song lingers on in my mind stirring mem'ries that I'd left behind
The time of my life when I was your wife
Now the song I've heard was our song today
Today the strangest thing happened and I just had the right to tell you
about it
Remember the guitar that you sent little Jimmy on his birthday
Well he sure is learning to play it
Today he played a song just for me but I had to turn away so he wouldn't see
me cry
'Cause you see he was playin' our song the one that used to be his lullaby
I heard our song my dear and it brought you so close so near
Though years have gone by it still made me cry when I heard our song today
|
I Like To Hear The
Rain
(from
the LP "House Of Love")
Alex Harvey *
1974 Big Ax Music - ASCAP
I like to hear
the rain when you're lyin' by my side
And I'm dreamin' pretty dreams of you and me
I like to hear the rain when I'm locked inside your arms
And you know you will always have the key
Chorus:
And someday when we're growin' old
You will hold me just the way you do today
Someday when today is long ago it will be so sweet
Remembering the way we shared our love today
I like to hear the rain in the stillness of the night
As we lie beside a fire so safe and warm
I like to hear the rain when our bodies are both one
And I know with you I'm safe from any storm
2nd chorus:
And
someday when we're growin' old, we'll make love the way we do today
Someday when our baby's on his own,
It will be so sweet remembering the way we shared our love today
(Repeat 2nd chorus)

much it hurts me

I Miss You Already
(from the
LP "The Sound Of Country Music")
Marvin Rainwater
& Faron Young * 1956 Tree Publishing - BMI
I miss you
already and you're not even gone
The time has come you're telling me goodbye
I know that I can't stop you if I try
I had way too many chances now I'll have to set you free
I watch you go too late I know how much you mean to me
Chorus:
Yes, I miss you already
(I) don't know how I'll go on
I miss you already and you're not even gone
So kiss me once again and please don't cry and I promise there'll be no more
alibis
I'll have to find myself a way to face this loneliness
I watch you go too late I know I've lost my happiness
(Repeat chorus)

I Never Once Stopped Loving You
(from the LP "Forever Yours")
Bill Anderson
& Jan Howard * 1968 Stallion Music - BMI
The nights were
dark and long, I spent a million all alone
But I never once stopped loving you
My world was cold and still, my dreams lay unfulfilled
Oh, but I never once stopped loving you
Chorus:
I never once stop believing we'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
'Cause I never once stopped loving you
I could have loved another but I chose to wait and suffer
For I never once stopped loving you
I prayed to God to guide you until I could be beside you
No, I never once stopped loving you
(Repeat chorus)

I Really Don't Want To Know
(from
the LP "Dottie Sings Eddy")
Don Robertson &
Howard Barnes * 1953 Hill & Range Songs - ASCAP
How many arms
have held you and hated to let you go
How many, how many, I wonder but I really don't want to know
How many lips have kissed you and set your soul aglow
How many, how many, I wonder, oh but I really don't want to know
So always make me wonder and always let me guess
And even if I ask you sweetheart don't confess
But just let it remain your secret 'cause darling I love you so
And it's no wonder, no wonder I wonder, but I really don't want to know
Honey, I really don't want to know

I Should Start Running
(from the
LP "Country Girl Singing Sensation")
Paul Windy Blevins *
1957 Starday Music - BMI
Chorus:
Here I am in your arms again
I should start running
Before you break my heart again
I should start running
I've tried and tried to cast aside
The love I hold for you
But times like this make me forget
That you've been untrue
My heart says run you foolish one
Your lips tell me to stay
I'm caught between a right and wrong
And don't know which take
(Repeat chorus 2x)
|
I Stayed Long Enough
(from
the LP "Country & West")
Tammy Wynette
* 1968 Al Gallico Music - BMI
Accidentally in
your arms and that's all it took
Knowing how you want and need me from just one look
To leave you now is something you should know that I can't do
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you
Long enough to know that what I feel won't go away
And just lookin' won't be near enough after today
Everything I need is everything I see in you
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you
Yes everything I need is everything I see in you
I stayed love enough to fall in love with you
Stayed just long enough to fall in love with you
|
I Still Can't
Believe You're Gone
(from
the LP "House Of Love")
Willie Nelson
* 1972 Full Nelson Music - BMI
It's the very
first day since you left me
And I tried to put my thoughts in a song
But all I can hear myself singin' is
I still can't believe you're gone
I still can't believe that you'd really leave me
What did I do was so wrong
There's just too many unanswered questions
And I still can't believe you're gone
But you're gone and I'm alone
And I'm still livin'
I don't like it but I'll take it till I'm strong
All I can hear myself singin' is
I still can't believe you're gone
(Repeat last
verse)

I Wish I Didn't Have To Miss You
(With Jimmy Dean)
(from the LP "Country Boy And Country Girl")
Hank Cochran
& Dave Kirby * 1969 Tree Publishing - BMI
Monday morning
and I best be on my way
Got a feeling it will be a busy day
Doing something I'm not looking forward to
Wish I didn't have to miss you
Broke the clock because I wound it up too tight
Lucky me I didn't sleep a wink last night
So I was up on time to do what I must do
Wish I didn't have to miss you miss you
Wonder whose glasses that I'm seeing through
'Cause I'm seeing everything but you, everything but you
Now it's Sunday and I may go for a hike
'Cause when it's Sunday it'll be Sunday day and night
Red is red black is black and blue is blue
Wish I didn't have to miss you miss you
(Repeat verse
three)
Wish I didn't have to miss you miss you
