I Wish That I Could Hurt
That Way Again
(from
the LP "Wild West")
Don Cook,
Curley Putman & Rafe Vanhoy * 1978 Cross Keys Publishing - ASCAP
Oh, I wish that I
could hurt that way again
At least I had you every now and then
And in between the sorrow at least there was tomorrow
And as long as there's tomorrow there's no end
Oh, I wish that I could hurt that way again
Oh, I wish that we could play that game again
Even though I'd always lose and you would win
At times you would desert me the emptiness would hurt me
But your coming back was always worth the pain
Oh, I wish that I could hurt that way again
I'd love to hear you tell me you don't need me anymore
Just like you used to tell me everyday
I'd love to watch you leaving like the hundred times before
At least my eyes could see you walk away
(Repeat first
verse)

I'd Be A Legend In My Time
(from the
LP "I'll Help You Forget Her")
Don Gibson *
1960 Acuff-Rose Publishing - BMI
If heartaches
brought fame in love's crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time
If they gave gold statuettes for tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time
Chorus:
But
(Oh,) they don't give awards and there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim then everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
(Repeat chorus)
I'd be a legend in my time

I'd Be Lying
(from the
LP "Country Girl Singing Sensation")
Paul Windy Blevins
* 1959 Fort Knox Music - BMI
If I said I'll
forget that we ever met
I'd be lying, I'd be lying
If I said you don't mean everything there is to me
I'd be lying, I'd be lying
Chorus:
It started with just a kiss, like a girl and
(a) boy would do
Not knowing then a love began, a love so true
If I said to my friends, it's not love it would end
I'd be lying, I'd be lying
(Repeat chorus and
2nd verse)

I'll Help You Forget Her
(from the
LP "I'll Help You Forget Her")
Yvonne
Devaney * 1967 Party Time Music - BMI
I'll help you
forget her if you'll let me
I'll welcome your arms open wide
I'll give you my shoulder to cry on
Until all your teardrops have dried
I'll help you forget her when you're lonely
My arms will be your port of
call
A shield from the storm that has hurt you
A love that won't stumble and fall
All alone on an uncharted ocean
You search for a love that used to be
Tossed and turned by the tide of emotion
Adrift like a ship hopelessly lost at
sea
But I'll help you forget her if you'll let me
I'll guide you safely to shore
I'll be the anchor you cling to your harbor of love evermore
|
I'll Hold You In My Heart (Til I Can Hold You In My Arms)
(from
the LP "Dottie Sings Eddy")
Eddy Arnold,
Howard Horton & Thomas Dilbeck * 1947 Forster Music - BMI
I'll hold you in
my heart till I can hold you in my arms
Like you'd never been held before
And I'll think of you each day then I'll dream the night away
Till you are in my arms once more
Chorus:
The stars up in the sky know the reason why
I feel so blue when (while) I'm away
from you
I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
So darling (won't you) please
wait for me
(Repeat chorus)

I'll Never Stand In Your Way
(with Don Gibson)
(from the LP
"Rings Of Gold-Dottie & Don")
Fred Rose &
Hy Heath * 1956 Milene Music - ASCAP
Well, If you found
someone new who means more than me to you
Darling,
I'll never stand in your way
And if you feel that we must part well don't let pity rule your heart
For darling,
I'll never stand in your way
Chorus:
I love you much too much to ever lose you
But what is to be will be and I'll
obey
I'll be blue when you go but I'll never let it show
Darling, I'll never stand in
your way
(Repeat chorus)

I'll Pick Up My Heart And Go Home
(from the LP "Dottie West Sings")
Roger Miller
* 1963 Tree Publishing - BMI
Once again you've
got me cryin'
I'm a fool if I let this go on
You can hurt me without even tryin'
Think I'll pick up my heart and go home
I can see the first signs of autumn
All at once all the flowers are gone
Suddenly I feel so forgotten
Think I'll pick up my heart and go home
Someplace where you'll never find me
A place where I can leave your mem'ries all behind me
(Repeat first
verse)
Think I'll pick up my heart and go home

(I'm Gonna) Put You Back On The Rack
(from the
LP "Wild West")
Randy Goodman
& Brent Maher * 1979 Blue Quill Music - ASCAP
Well it don't
take much to change your mind
Just a little skimpy skirt and a little bit of wine
I'm tired of staying up losing sleep,
So I've got something to tell you that just won't keep
Chorus:
I'm gonna put you back on the rack
Trade you in and get my money back
'Cause I've got a lifetime guarantee says you belong to me
I'm gonna put you back on the shelf
Trade you in for somebody else
I guess you're just too blind to see you ain't foolin' me
You ain't foolin' me, boy!
Well, it won't take much to change your style
Just stay at home every once in a while
Give me a little bit of lovin'
That ain't askin' too much 'cause if you don't
I'm gonna pack you up
(Repeat chorus)
Spoken:
Now it won't take much to change your style
Just stay at home just every once in a while
A little bit of lovin', now that's not asking too much
'Cause if you don't....mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
(Repeat chorus 2x and fade)

I'm Grateful
(from
the LP "Sing Sacred Ballads")
Ervin Drake &
Jimmy Shirl * 1967 Gentleman Jim Music - ASCAP
When I look up at
the heavens when day is through
Once again there's a good day I'll hold to You
With the world to watch over still you watch me, too, I'm grateful, grateful
When I sit at my table I say a prayer
For the good things upon it that You put there
And my loved ones around it, not empty chair I'm grateful, Lord, to Thee
You have brought me good times, You have brought me bad times
But through the good and bad times, You always send me a song to sing
When I lie on my pillow, I say a prayer
For the blessings You send me and love and care
And a world full of sunshine and my health is fair
I'm grateful grateful, grateful,
Lord, to Thee
(Grateful to Thee)

I'm
Only A Woman
(from
the LP "I'm Only A Woman")
Ben Peters *
1968 Shelby Singleton Music - BMI
When you look at
me as if to say you need me
You don't know how close I come to giving in
But I'm trying to be strong and to keep from doing wrong
And
I wish you'd never come to me again
Chorus:
'Cause baby I'm only a woman, only a woman
Can't you see my heart's not made of stone
Yes, baby I'm only a woman, only a woman, so please till you're free leave me
alone
Don't you know it hurts to know her arms will hold you
Don't you know how much I wish those arms were mine
But darling till you're free please don't reach out for me
'Cause I don't want our love to be that kind
Cause baby I'm only a woman, only a woman
So please till you're free leave me
alone

I'm
Only Human
(from
the LP "Country & West")
Alex Zanetis *
1970 Turkahoe Music - BMI
I walk in, the
room is bare
I close my eyes pretending you're there
I feel your hand pressing mine
Your soft sweet lips pressing mine
And I'm making excuses why I can't stay
but I find that I'm slowly melting
away
And I can't resist the thrill of your touch
Cause I've loved you so long and I've loved you so much
I'm only human
I open my eyes the dream is gone I realize I've got to go on
I can't live my life on your memory I've got to forget you I've got to be
free
So I say that it's easy and easy it seems
Then I close my eyes and look back in my dream
And I still can't resist the thrill of your touch
Cause I've loved you so long and I've loved you so much I'm only human
|
I'm
So Afraid Of Losing You Again
(from
the LP "Country & West")
Dallas Frazier &
Arthur Leo Owens * 1969 Blue Crest Music - BMI
Sometimes I want
to throw my arms around you
Then I tremble at the thought of giving in
Because I know how much it cost to love you
And I'm so afraid of losing you
again
Chorus:
Being close to you revives the sorrow
That wakes me up and tells me I can't
win
I'd love to wake up in your arms tomorrow
But I'm so afraid of losing you
again
If heaven were to hear my heart's confession
Wanting you would be my
greatest sin
But I'm glad that you're no longer my possession
'Cause I'm so afraid of losing you again
(Repeat chorus)
But
I'm so afraid of losing you again

I'm
So Lonesome I Could Cry
(from the
LP "Careless Hands")
Hank Williams
* 1949 Fred Rose Music - BMI
Hear that
lonesome whippoorwill
Lord, he sounds too blue to fly
Now, the he midnight train is whining low
And I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to fall
That means he's lost oh, the will to live
And I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long
When time just goes draggin' by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
|
I'm
Sorry
(from
the LP "Feminine Fancy")
Ronnie Self & Dub
Albritton * 1959 Champion Music - BMI
I'm sorry, so
sorry
That I was such a fool
I didn't know love could be so cruel
You tell me mistakes are part of being young
But that don't right the wrong that's been done
Chorus:
(I'm sorry) I'm sorry
(So sorry) So sorry
Please accept my apology
But love is blind and I was to blind to see
You tell me mistakes are part of being young
But that don't right the wrong that's been done
(Repeat chorus)
Sorry

I'm Too Far
Gone
(from the
LP "Country Girl")
Billy Sherrill *
1967 Algee Music - BMI
I can tell that
somewhere there's someone you loved more than me
Someone you loved more than me
And it hurts to admit it but you have the right to be free
I know that's the way it should be
My friends would console me by saying go find someone new
Go out and find someone new
But the longer I try the harder I cry over you I go home and cry over you
Chorus:
Cause I'm too far gone, too far gone
I guess that I've loved you too much
For too long and I'm too far gone
If ever your new love should hurt you or make you feel blue
Hurt you or make you feel blue
Well, just remember your old love will still be around loving you
I'll be around loving you
(repeat chorus)
|
I'm
Your Country Girl
(from the
LP "If It's Alright With You/Just What I'm Looking For")
Dottie West &
Bill West * 1973 Tree Publishing - BMI
You say you find
it easy pleasin' your country girl
Her simple way of livin's brought real love to your world
A home cook meal's her French cafe a night with you her Broadway play
And it really makes me happy knowin' I'm that country girl
You tell her she's a pleasure and the treasure in your arms
You love her warm and tender unsophisticated charms
There's no diamonds in her wedding ring, wearin' your name's her claim to fame
And it really makes me happy knowin' I'm that country girl
They say you had your choice of girls, why picked a girl like me
Yet you took me out to places for all your friends to see
You held my hand and called me dear, your love have always been sincere
And it really makes me happy knowin' I'm that country girl
It really makes me happy knowin' I'm your country girl

If
I Can Stay Away Long Enough
(from
the LP "Dottie West Sings")
Benny Martin
* 1960 Cedarwood Publishing - BMI
If I can stay
away long
Enough maybe I'll forget you
If I can stay away long enough
I'll lose my love for you
If I can get you out of my mind
Another love I'll try to find
Then live my life of happiness till the end of time
If I can stay away long enough
Maybe you'll forget me
I can stay away long enough
If you'll just let me be
Cause I know our love affair could never last
So I'll just stay away and let it all be in the past
For I know our love affair could never last
So I'll just stay away and let it all be in the past
