If
I'm A Fool For Loving You
(Released as a single only)
Stanley
Kesler * 1973 Drury Lane Publishing - BMI
They're sayin' I
am just your clown
And any fool could see
That you're just havin' fun
And you're not in love with me
The words they're sayin' may be true
But there's something they can't see
If I'm a fool for loving you
Well, that just what I wanna be
If I'm a dreamer,
let me dream
If I'm your clown, I'll steal the show
Things are not the way they seem
Please don't ever let me know
If I am blind it's because I just don't wanna see
If I'm a fool for lovin' you
Well, that just what I wanna be
If I'm a fool for lovin 'you
Well, that just what I wanna be

If
It Takes All Night
(from
the LP "Full Circle")
Dan Rogers &
Gloria Sklerov * 1981 BMG Songs - ASCAP
One
more night we've ended up in each others arms
I just need a little more time
Though the night is growing old and the candle's burning low
I'd just like another sip of wine
Let's hold on to this moment, we're movin' too fast
Baby, let's save the best 'til last
Chorus:
If
it takes all night, the night is ours to take
If it takes all night, we've so much love to make
We started out with nothing, we've got nothing but time
If time is what it takes, then it's alright
If it takes all night
It's moments just like this that love is all about
Our eyes are saying everything we feel
And I don't want to miss a thing that lovin' you would bring
'Cause this time I know it's real
I've waited a lifetime, so what's a moment more
Baby, it's worth the waitin' for
(repeat chorus)
We
started out with nothing, we've got nothing but time
If time is what it takes, then it's alright
If it takes all night, alright
If it takes all night, babe, we'll make it right
If it takes all night, If it takes all night

If
It's Alright With You
(from the
LP "If It's Alright With You/Just What I've Been Looking For")
Gene
MacLellan * 1973 Beechwood Music - BMI
If it's alright
with you, I'd like to stay here and love you and hold you
At least until the daylight comes
If it's alright with you, I'd like to think that when tomorrow comes it'll
be way too soon
If it's alright with you
Chorus:
If it's alright with you, I think I'll love you
If it's alright with you, I think I'll love you
And when the morning sun arrives then we'll decide if I should stay or go
If it's alright with you, we won't think about tomorrow, or yesterday
Tonight could be a lifetime
If it's alright with you, I'll dim the light and close the world away, I
really wanna stay
If it's alright with you
(Repeat chorus)
If it's alright with you, I think I'll love you
If it's alright with you, I think I'll love you
If it's alright with you, I think I'll love you
(Fade)

If Loving You Makes
Me Any Less A Lady
(from
the LP "Country Sunshine")
Dottie West &
Red Lane * 1973 Tree Publishing - BMI
As a child, I
couldn't wait to be a lady
I spent hours in mama's hats and high heeled shoes
A lady taught me how to be a lady
And that ladies didn't fall in love with men like you
But you've brought out the woman in the lady
A feeling I've never felt before
If loving you makes me any less a lady
Then the lady ain't a lady anymore
It's such a natural feeling to lay down here beside you
And as a woman, feel no guilt or no shame
And let your gentle touch make me come alive
And hear baby, sweet baby become my name
The woman in the lady is her weakness
And you know how to make my weakness show
If loving you makes me any less a lady
Then the lady ain't a lady anymore
If loving you makes me any less a lady (I'll say it)
The lady ain't a lady anymore

If
You Go Away
(from the
LP "What I'm Cut Out To Be")
Rod McKuen &
Jacques Brel * 1967 Almo Music - BMI
If you go away on
this summer day then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you'll stay I'll make you a day like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun we'll ride on the rain we'll talk to the trees and
worship the wind
Then if you go I'll understand leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away as I know you will you must tell the world to stop turning
Till you return again, if you ever do, for what good is love without loving
you
Can I tell you now as you turn to go I'll be dying slow to the next hello
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you'll stay I'll make you a night like no night has been or will be
again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch, I'll talk to your eyes that
I love so much
But if you go, go, I know I will cry all the good is gone from the word goodbye
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away as I know you must there'll be nothing left in the world to
trust
Just an empty room full of empty space like the empty look I see on your
face
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

In
God's Eyes
(from
the LP "Sing Sacred Ballads")
Willie Nelson
* 1966 Tree Publishing - BMI
Never think evil
thoughts of anyone, it's just as wrong to think as to say
For a thought is but a word that's unspoken, in God's eyes He sees it this
way
Lend a hand, if you can, to a stranger. Never worry if he can't repay
For in time you'll be repaid ten times over, in God's eyes He sees it this
way
Chorus:
In God's eyes we're like sheep in a meadow and now and then a lamb goes
astray
But open arms should await its returning, in God's eyes He sees it this way
(Repeat chorus)

In
Its Own Little Way
(from
the LP "Here Comes My Baby")
Dottie West &
Bill West * 1965 Tree Publishing - BMI
In its own little
way my heart keeps missing you
In its own little way my heart keeps wanting you
I'm hoping that you'll come back to stay
My heart keeps loving you in its own little way
If my heart could forget then I know I could make
Myself I'm someone new but my heart wants only you
In its own little way my heart keeps dreaming to
In its own little way my heart keeps crying to
Still hoping that you'll come back to stay
My heart keeps loving you in its own little way
My heart keeps loving you in its own little way

Is This Me?
(from the
LP "Suffer Time")
Dottie West &
Bill West * 1962 Window Music/Tree Publishing - BMI
Is it really me
sittin' here crying
Well it shouldn't be, it just can't be me, my eyes are lying
Cause that's not you, it just can't be you, you wouldn't be cheating
It's someone else yes, it's someone else whose darling's leaving
Chorus:
I can't believe my eyes you (sure) took me by surprise
How I wish I'd just stayed home I'd still be thinking you're all my own
(Now)
This isn't me, it just can't be me sittin' here crying
It's just a dream, it's got to be a dream our love can't be dying
(Repeat chorus
and last verse)

It
Just Takes Practice
(from
the LP "Dottie West Sings")
Jeannie Seely
& Gail Tally * 1965 Tree Publishing - BMI
I'll get over you
before too long
Just wait and see
And I won't need you any more
Than you'll need me
You just can't be that important
My life can't be over yet
For I know it just takes practice to forget
Chorus:
They say practice makes perfect, so I'll just practice every day
My hurt is big but not so big that I can't make it go away
Someday I'll stop remembering although I haven't yet
For I know it just takes practice to forget
(Repeat chorus)

It
Makes No Difference Now
(from
the LP "Dottie Sings Eddy"
Floyd Tillman
& Jimmy Davis * 1939 Peer International - BMI
Makes no
difference now what kind of life fate hand me
I'll get along without you now that's plain to see
I don't care what happens next I'll get by somehow
I don't worry 'cause it makes no difference now
It was just a year ago that I first met you
I learned to love you and I thought you loved me too
Oh, but that's all in the past I'll forget somehow
I don't worry 'cause it makes no difference now
Now that we have really parted I just can't believe it's true
I don't blame myself and I'm sure I can't blame you
It was something had to happen it happened somehow
I don't worry 'cause it makes no difference now
'Cause after all is said and done, I'll soon forget you
Although I know it won't be easy to do
Let things happen as they will I'll get by somehow
I won't worry 'cause it makes no difference now
Why worry, it makes no difference now

It
Must Be Him
(from
the LP "Feminine Fancy")
Gilbert
Becaud, Mack David & Maurice Vidalin * 1949 BMG Songs Publishing - ASCAP
I tell myself
what's done is done,
I tell myself don't be a fool
Play the field have a lot of fun,
It's easy when you play it cool
I tell myself don't be a chump
Who cares, let him stay away
That's when the phone rings and I jump
And as I grab the phone I pray
Chorus:
Let it please be him, oh dear God
It must be him, it must be him
Or I shall die, or I shall die
Hello, hello my dear God
It must be him but it's not him
And then I die, that's when I die
After a while, I'm myself again,
I pick the pieces off the floor
Put my heart on the shelf again,
You'll never hurt me anymore
I'm not a puppet on a string
I'll find somebody else someday
That's when the phone rings
And once again
I pray
(Repeat Chorus
and fade)

It
Sure Seemed Right
(from
the LP "If It's Alright With You/Just What I've Been Looking For")
John Russell &
Michael Russell * 1973 Glaser/Ensign Music - BMI
We
woke up this morning in each other's arms
And don't you know it sure seemed right
I was oh so captivated darling by your charms
All I could do was lay there and hold you tight
I want you, need you, now what I can to please you
Anything to keep you in my life
We woke up this morning in each other's arms
And don't you know it sure seemed right
You looked into my eyes and whispered I love you so
And don't you know it sure seemed right
I smiled at you and begged darling never go
If you should ever leave I would die
I'll love you always sad times and happy days
Our love's too strong now to fight
We woke up this morning in each other's arms
And don't you know it sure seemed right
Don't you know it sure seemed right

Henley * 1973 Tree Publishing - BMI

It's A Sin
(from
the LP "Dottie Sings Eddy")
Fred Rose &
Zeb Turner * 1946 Milene Music - BMI
It's a sin my
darling how I love you
Because I know our love can never be
It's a sin to keep these mem'ries of you
When silence proves that you've
forgotten me
Chorus:
The dream I built for us now has tumbled
Each promise broken just like my
heart
It's a sin my darling how I love you
So much in love and yet so far apart
I'm sure you must be happy with your new love
Who shares all the love I
couldn't win
(It's a sin) it's a sin how I love you
So much in love and yet so far apart

It's Been A Long Time Since Atlanta
(from
the LP "Country Sunshine")

It's Dawned On Me, You're Gone
(from
the LP "Country & West")
Hank Cochran &
Red Lane * 1970 Tree Publishing - BMI
I talked to me
and I told me you'd be leaving
I made my plans to get up from the fall
I talked to me into thinkin' I could make it
But oh it's dawned on me you're
gone
It's like I didn't even talk to me or make any plans at all
It's like I died and lived and died again at least ten thousand times
When I realized all you left are these mem'ries in my mind
Oh it's dawned on me you're gone
(Repeat chorus)
Oh it's dawned on me you're gone
It's like I didn't even talk to me or make any plans at all
Oh it's dawned on me you're gone

It's High Time
(from the LP "High Times")
Randy Goodrum
& Brent Maher * 1981 Blue Quill Music -ASCAP
Chorus:
Well, it's high
time to get back on my feet and stop (quit) worryin' 'bout me and you
And it's about time to get myself together 'cause I got a lot of livin' to
do
It's about time for a change in the weather, need sunshine more than rain
Well, it's high time to let the good times roll again
You never told me but it was easy to guess
'Cause when you hold me, babe, your arms would confess
So don't try some new trick (new trick) to cover up your tracks
Don't start denyin', not while I'm cryin'
(repeat chorus)
I wouldn't listen
to why my friends would say
But I had a feelin' it would end up this way
You've been up to no good (no good) I can see it in your eyes
Don't start denyin', not why I'm cryin'
(repeat chorus
2x)
Well, it's high
time
Well, it's about time
Well, it's about time

It's Over
(from the LP "What I'm Cut Out To Be")
Jimmy Rodgers
* 1933 Peer International - BMI
If time
were not a moving thing and I could make it stay this hour
The love we share will always be there'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light 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 now it's over
If you knew just how I really feel you might be turning yet
There are so many times that people have to love and then forget
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 hair 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
(Repeat first verse)
It's over
|
It's Teardrop Time
(from the LP "With All My Heart And Soul")
Dallas
Frazier & Billy Mize * 1966 Blue Crest Music - BMI
It's teardrop
time, I'm all alone again
It's teardrop time, my baby's gone again
My happiness has left me here behind
Sad eyes get set to cry it's teardrop
time
Again he's heard the call from his old flame
And the fire that beckoned took him just like an evening train
Love lives no more inside this world of mine
Hang on and help me heart it's teardrop time
Love lives no more inside this world of mine
Hang on, help me heart it's teardrop time

It's Too Late To Love Me Now
(from the LP "Special Delivery")
Rory Bourke, Gene Dobbins & Johnny Wilson * 1980 Rhythm Ranch Music -
ASCAP
It's too late
You say you want me, but it's too late
Once my love for you was so great
But it's too late to love me now
It's too bad
You say you need me and oh, it's too bad
I know the feeling and it's so sad
But it's too late to love me now
Chorus:
Don't you know how hard I've tried
To hold out just for you
Loving you from memory day by day
Then someone came into my life and turned my dreams around
And he's taking all the love you turned away
It's too late
You say you want me, but it's too late
Once my love for you was so great
But it's too late to love me now
It's too late to love me now
(Repeat
chorus)
(Repeat 2nd verse)
It's too late to love me now
It's too late
