Baby
(from the
LP "Suffer Time")
Ray Griff *
1965 Blue Echo Music - ASCAP
Baby, sweet sweet
baby,
My world's so cold and empty since you've gone
Baby, sweet sweet baby,
Without you I don't know how I'll go on
I've got that lonesome feeling deep inside of me
And it just keeps right on hurtin' all the time
Oh I'd forget you if it wasn't for your memory
You're out of sight but you're never never out of my mind
Oh baby, sweet sweet baby,
I can't help loving you the way I do
Baby, sweet sweet baby,
Please come on back and call me baby too, baby

Baby I Tried
(from
the LP "I'm Only A Woman")
Jeanne
Fitzsimmons * 1972 BMI
I've tried loving
you, holding you, everything I know to do
Baby I've tried I can't love you like I used to
I've tried kissing you, missing you, anything but hurting you
Oh, baby I tried, just can't love you the way I used to
You know I've been your woman, I've given you all of me
I can't explain why my feelings have changed, all I can say is I'm sorry
Yes I'll be leaving in you, be leaving in you, can find somebody to
To love you and really love you, baby I tried

Baby, I'm A'Want
You (with
Kenny Rogers)
(from the LP
"Classics")
David Gates *
1968 ATV Tunes - ASCAP
Baby, I'm a-want
you, baby, I'm a-need you
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm a-crazy
But I just can't live without
Your lovin' and affection, givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through the darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' here beside me.
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry, you taught me why
Baby, I'm a-want you
Baby, I'm a-need you
Oh, it took so long for me to find you, girl
I'm so glad you've found me
No, there's nobody else but you
Oh, I want you and I need you
Want you, (want you)
Need you (need you)
(Fade)

Back Home Again
(from
the LP "Carolina Cousins")
John Denver *
1974 Cherry Lane Music - ASCAP
(Here's a song
for every woman who's ever waited for her man to come home
And for every man who's longed to be there)
There's a storm across the valley, the clouds are rolling in
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
There's a truck out on the four-lane, a mile or more away
The whining of his wheels just makes it colder
He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the skies
Ten days on the road are barely gone
There's a fire softly burning supper's on the stove
But the light in your eyes that makes him warm
Chorus:
Hey it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes and hey it's good to be back home again
There's all the news to tell him how you spent your time
And what's the latest thing the neighbors say
And your mother called last Friday sunshine made her cry
You felt your baby move just yesterday
(Repeat chorus)
And all the time that I can lay this tired old body down
And feel your fingers feather soft on me
The kisses that I live for the love that won't go away
The happiness that livin' with you brings me
It's the sweetest thing I know of just spendin' time with you
It's the little things that make a house a home
Like a fire so softly burning, the supper's on the stove
And the light in your eyes that makes me warm
(Repeat chorus
2x)

Beautiful Lies
(with Kenny Rogers)
(from the LP
"Every Time Two Fools Collide")
Milton Brown,
Marianne Gordon & Kenny Rogers * 1978 Careers Music Publishing - BMI
I think of
beauty, a joy forever
Now that's what I've always heard
But talk is cheap and now I'm learning your love is only a word
You're lookin' so
pretty, talkin' so gentle
All the time you were breaking my heart
And like the rose and the thorn
We're tied together now we're driftin' apart
Chorus:
We told (tell) such beautiful lies
Tearing two people apart
We told (tell) such beautiful lies
Look what we've done to our hearts
First it was magic, now it's just tragic
Funny how love slips away
Guess I stopped tryin'
I finally stopped cryin'
We've run out of reasons to stay
(Repeat chorus)
You tell such beautiful lies
You tear two people apart
We've told such beautiful lies
Look what we've done to our hearts

Beautiful Way To
Live
(from
the LP "Carolina Cousins")
Ben Peters *
1975 Ben Peters Music - BMI
When I wake up
every morning, you're the first thing that I see
And like a new day that is dawning I feel the warmth come over me
I can face the world, a courage I can make it through the day
Cause I know your love comes with me, standin' by me all the way
Chorus:
Oh what a beautiful way to live just givin' you all the love can give
Oh what a wonderful thing to see that you don't want nobody but me
I don't know how I'm deservin' to be blessed with all these things
Like the sweet love you keep servin' and the happiness it brings
I don't worry bout tomorrow, the way I always used to do
'Cause tomorrow I'll be sharin' some yesterday with you
(Repeat chorus
2x)

Before The Next
Teardrop Falls
(from the
LP "What I'm Cut Out To Be")
Ben Peters &
Vivian Keith * 1967 Shelby Singleton Music - BMI
If she brings you
happiness then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if she ever breaks your heart if the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Though it hurts to let you go darling I want you to know
And I'll stand by you if you'll ever call
And if I should ever hear that she made you shed a tear
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
I'll be there anytime you need me by your side
To dry away every teardrop that you've cried
If she ever leaves you blue just remember I love you
And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Yes I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
|
Before The Ring
On Your Finger Turns Green
(from the
LP "Suffer Time")
Boudleaux &
Felice Bryant * 1965 Acuff-Rose Music - BMI
Chorus:
He's just leadin' you on, honey he'll be gone
Before the ring on your finger turns green
Your new love is the playboy kind, he's not looking for the ties that bind
He'll leave you with a tortured mind, before the ring on your finger turns
green
(Repeat
chorus)
He's fickle cheap and phony, too, just like the ring he gave to you
I know cause I've been through it, too, when the ring on my finger turned
green
(Repeat chorus)
Before the ring on your finger turns green

Bitter They Are,
Harder They Fall
(with background vocals from
the Gatlin Brothers)
(from the
LP's "If It's Alright With You/Just What I'm Looking For")
(from the LP "Full Circle")
Larry Gatlin
* 1972 First Generation Music - BMI
I told him to
leave me alone
That's what he's done, just what he's done
And a house built for two, ain't a home
When it's lived in by one, one lonely one
And I can no longer hear footsteps from right down the hall
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall
He caught me lying, then he caught a train
And I caught a fever running home in the rain
Well, it's over and I’m done
He left me once and for all
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall

Blue As I Want
To
(from the
LP "Special Delivery")
Randy Goodrum
& Brent Maher * 1980 Blue Quill Music - ASCAP
Lookin' out my window, nothing much has changed
Grey clouds are rollin' in, looks like it's startin' to rain
My phone keeps ringin', old friends keep callin'
Tryin' to cheer me up, and brighten up my day
Chorus:
I'll be blue as I want to, I'll cry if I please
Tonight I'd rather be alone, and watch a little late night TV
Well tomorrow I'll be smilin'
Puttin' on a show, but tonight I'll be
Blue as I want to
No one will ever know
Sayin' it's over is so hard to do
But now it's said and done
There's nothing left to hold on to
You broke your promises
You're feelin' some regrets
Well no thanks I don't think I'll be
Needin' you tonight, 'cause I'd rather be
(repeat chorus)
Blue as I want to
No one will ever know
Blue as I want to
No one will ever know

Blue Christmas
(from the
LP "Nashville Country Christmas")
Billy Hayes &
Jay Johnson * Traditional - ASCAP
I'll have a blue
Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing, dear since you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when those blue, blue heartaches start hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

Blue Fiddle
Waltz
(from the
LP "Just Dottie")
Averal Aldridge,
Cindy Richardson & Lisa Silver * 1983 Universal Music - ASCAP
Under the
moonlight in the Tennessee Hills
He whispered "I'll love you forever'
My heart is singing the same melody
That we fell in love to, oh it all ended too soon
But tonight I'll be dreamin' we're dancing together
Chorus:
Blue fiddle play the blue fiddle waltz
And bring back a memory or two
Help me remember a love I have lost
Oh, blue fiddle play the blue fiddle waltz
This maiden's prayer for an old faded love
Is that he'll think of me when he's missing someone
(Repeat chorus)
|
Broken Hearted
Melody
(from
the LP "Feminine Fancy")
Hal David &
Sherman Edwards * 1958 Keith-Valerie Music - ASCAP
Broken-hearted
melody
Once you were our song of love
Now you just keep taunting me
With the memory of his tender love
Oh, broken-hearted melody
Must you keep reminding me
Of the lips I long to kiss
And the love I miss since he went away
Night and day they play
That broken-hearted melody
That he used to sing to me
When our love was young and bright
As he held me tight
Suddenly I found I was heaven-bound
Broken-hearted melody
Once you were our song of love
Now you just keep taunting me
With the memory of his tender love, Oh
Broken-hearted melody
Won't you bring him back to me
Sing to him 'til he yearns
For when he returns no more will it be
A broken-hearted melody
A broken-hearted melody
A broken-hearted melody
|
Broken Lady
(from the LP
"Dottie")
Larry Gatlin
* 1976 First Generation Music - BMI
Chorus:
I'm a broken lady
waiting to be mended
And have what's left of the pieces put back in place
My love was like a fortress around a man I would have died for
Takin' care to take care of all he needed
But this lady's fortress slowly turned into a prison
And the warnin' signs he gave I never heeded
I vowed every morning that what God joined together
No one else in the world could pull apart
Then the walls came tumbling to the ground
And my world came crashing down around my heart, my heart
Chorus II:
Now I'm a broken
lady, waiting to be mended
Like a potter would mend a broken vase
Broken lady, waiting to be mended
And have what's left of the pieces put back in place
(repeat chorus)

By Your Side
(from
the LP "When It's Just You And Me")
Ben Peters *
1976 Ben Peters Music - BMI
If it's wrong to
feel this way about you, baby
Then I'm wrong as any woman could ever be
I'd rather be a woman than a lady
If that's what it takes for you to care for me
Chorus:
I want to walk by your side
Take every step you're takin'
Make every move you're makin' everyday
I want to sleep by your side
Share every dream you're dreamin'
Every night and every way
I don't mind if it takes time for you to love me
Time is all I've got except my love for you
Long as I can try to keep you thinkin' of me
It may not be love at first but it will do
(Repeat chorus
2x)
