End Of The World
(from
the LP "Feminine Fancy")
Arthur Kent &
Sylvia Dee * 1962 Summit Music - ASCAP
Why
does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
Cause you don't love me anymore
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
(Repeat verse
four)

Even If You Were
Jesse James
(from
the LP "Dottie")
Kenny O'Dell &
Larry Henley * 1977 Hungry Mountain Music - BMI
Look at me I've been caught by a heart-thieving outlaw like you
And I couldn't escape when you hold me this way if I wanted to
Now you're a dangerous lover traveling undercover I didn't get too far
'Cause when I started to run that's when you pulled a gun on my heart, but
Chorus:
Even if you were Jesse James, I'd still want to ride this train
And even join up with your gang if you let me
I'd saddle right up and follow my heart, I'd live with you, baby, out under
the stars
I just wanna be wherever you are 'cause I love you
You just can't cut me loose so you might as well take me along
I could live off the land, I'm a good right hand and I'm signing on
So don't put up a fight just think about the nights, they won't be all that
bad
I'll be your lover and the best sidekick you ever had, cause
(repeat chorus)
I
just gotta be wherever you are 'cause I love you!

Every Time Two
Fools Collide
(from
the LP "Every Time Two Fools Collide")
Janice Dyer &
Jeffrey Tweel * 1977 April Music - ASCAP
You
want things your way
And I want them mine
And now we don't know
Just where to draw the line
How can love survive
If we keep choosin' sides
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide
You lay the blame on me
And I the blame on you
But why do we keep finding fault
In everything we do
And how long can we keep right and wrong
So cut and dry
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide
We can save our love
We still have the time
Oh, I know there must be a way
But we still haven't tried
To keep our hearts from breaking
Every time two fools collide
To keep our hearts from breaking
Every time two fools collide

Every Word I
Write
(from the
LP "When It's Just You And Me")
Roger
Bowling, Jan Crutchfield & George Richey * 1976 Dixie Jane Music - BMI
Today I bought myself a brand new pencil, I picked up a yellow legal pad
It's gonna take at least that many pages to write you of the bad times that
I had
So there's no mistake about me leavin', goodbye will be the first word that
I'll write
Writing this is gonna be so easy, rememberin' all the lonely nights I've
cried
I wish that I could hide and watch you read this. Oh, I'd like to see
the look that's on your face.
At first you'll smile and think that I'm only joking, but the smile will
fade and a tear will take its place.
When you read the part where I no longer love you, you'll try your best to
think between the lines
But I'm gonna make it plain enough to show you, if I have to write it down a
thousand times
But every word I write comes out 'I love you' (I love you)
I'd like to say it's over, but no matter what I try,
Every word I write comes out 'I love you' (I love you)
Guess I've loved you much too long to say goodbye
Yes, I've loved you much too long to say goodbye

Everybody Bring
A Song
(from
the LP "House Of Love")
Dottie West * 1973
Tree Publishing
I'm the
girl who told the world this town's too small for me
Now I'm back I want the whole town to drop by for my apology
Won't bring tears from all the years about while I was gone
Well bring a band through friendship and everybody bring a song
(chorus)
Everybody bring a song sing a song to me
A good old fashion love by neighbor hospitality
Don't bring tears from all the years about while I was gone
Bring good news and your dancin' shoes everybody bring a song
I know who the last come through the door he's gonna be
He may be shy but he's the guy who said he'll wait for me
He won't bring tears from all the years about while I was gone
And he's my man when he takes my hand well everybody bring a song
Everybody bring a song sing a song to me...
Don't bring tears from all the years about while I was gone
Bring good news and your dancin' shoes everybody bring a song
Everybody bring a song everybody bring a song
Everybody bring a song everybody bring a song
Everybody bring a song

Everything's A
Wreck (Since You've Gone)
(from the
LP "I'll Help You Forget Her")
Dottie West &
Bill West * 1967 Tree Publishing - BMI
The
grass on the lawn is almost knee high
'Cause I can't start the mower, I've tried and I've tried
The electric is off in just half of the house
And I can't figure out what's wrong
Everything's a wreck since you've gone
The sink in the kitchen is all stopped up too
And since you always fixed it I don't know what to do
My favorite past time lately is watching Edge of Night
And now the TV won't come on
Everything's a wreck since you've gone
Everyday something else just falls apart
But how can I keep them going without the know-how or the heart
I thought I'd change the color of the room I shared with you
And don't you know the ladder broke now even the floor is blue
Our poor old little parakeet doesn't sing anymore
Like me he's lonely all day long
Everything's a wreck since you've gone

Eyes Of A Storm
(from the
LP "Just Dottie")
Phil Thomas &
Ron Scaife * 1984 Universal Songs - BMI
Well, you're married and I'm free
I need you and you want me
I can see the clouds of trouble taking form
'Cause I'm looking into the eyes of a storm
I see your ready for the night
I should leave and do what's right
But I'll sail the ship of fools till the sails are torn
Looking into the eyes of a storm
Chorus:
I
bet the sea of love gets rough when we take that pleasure cruise
But we can ride it out in each other's arms
You know you gotta hang in tough if you're gonna break the rules
Lookin' in the eyes of a storm
Two hearts pounding, they feel the same
Thunder and lightning acts up the rain
And I see the clouds of trouble takin' form
'Cause I'm looking into the eyes of a storm
I see the clouds of trouble takin' form
'Cause I'm looking into the eyes of a storm

Faded Love
(from
the LP "Country Girl")
Bob Wills &
John Wills * 1951 Hill & Range Songs - BMI
As
I look at the letters that you wrote to me
Oh, it's you that I am thinking of
As I read the lines that to me are so dear
I remember our faded love
Chorus:
I
miss you darlin' more and more everyday
As Heaven would miss the stars above
And with every heartbeat I still think of you
And (I) remember our faded love
As I think of the past and all the pleasures we had
As I watched the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime when you said good-bye
I remember our faded love
(Repeat chorus)
I remember our faded love

Fair Weather
Lover
(from the
LP "Suffer Time")
Bill West &
Dottie West * 1966 Tree Publishing - BMI
Chorus:
Fair weather lover that's what you've always been
My fair weather lover you're leaving once again
When the sun is shining and everything looks rosy
This is when you say you love me so
But when a storm appears oh it's all the different story
Just when I need you most of all
(Repeat chorus)
You're always by my side and understand when I'm smiling
This is when you say you love me so
But when times are bad oh it's all the different story
Just when I need you most of all
(Repeat chorus)
Oh
but this time it don't matter go find yourself another
It's farewell fair weather lover

Final
Examination
(with Don Gibson)
(from
the LP "Rings Of Gold-Dottie & Don")
Red Lane &
Dottie West * 1970 Tree Publishing - BMI
Here we sit with a love that has failed to stand on its own
Somewhere we surely went wrong
So let's study our hearts we may learn we might change our minds
A final examination to test our situation
May find love is not really gone
We've been countin' our sorrows and forgettin' all the good times we had
Somewhere love left us alone
So let's count on each other and together we might make the grade
A final examination to test our situation
May find love is not really gone
(Repeat last
verse)

For The Good
Times (with
Jimmy Dean)
(from the LP
"Country Boy & Country Girl")
Kris
Kristofferson * 1968 Buckhorn Music - BMI
Don't look so sad we know it's over
Life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning
Chorus:
Lay
your head upon my pillow hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops (blowing) falling softly against my window
And make believe you love me (just) one more time, for the good times
I'll get along, you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
(Repeat chorus)
And
there were some good times
For the good times

Forever Yours
(from the
LP "Forever Yours")
Jimmy Peppers *
1969 Husky Music - BMI
Chorus:
Forever yours, I'll always be
Please say that you'll give your sweet love to me
Forever yours, my love will be

I will stay beside you and I will guide you
Forever yours please say that you're mine

Frankie & Johnny
(from
the LP "I Fall To Pieces")
Jimmie Rodgers * 1933 Peer International - BMI
Now
Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts oh, Lord, how they did love
Swore to be true to each other true as the stars above
He was her man and he wouldn't do her wrong
Now Frankie went down to the corner just for a bucket of beer
She said Mr. Bartender has my loving Johnny been here
He's my man he wouldn't do me wrong
I don't want to 'cause you no trouble I ain't gonna lie
I saw your lover an hour ago with a girl named Nellie Bly
He's your man but he's doin' you wrong
Now Frankie looked over the transom she saw to her surprise
There on the cot sat Johnny making love to Nellie Bly
He's my man but he's doin' me wrong
Frankie threw back the comoda took out her little .44
Rooty too-too three times she shot right through that hardwood door
Shot her man he was doin' her wrong
Now bring out your rubber tied hearses bring out your rubber tied hatch
I'm taken said the man to the graveyard but only six of 'em called him back
He was my man but he done me wrong
Bring round a thousand policemen bring 'em around today
To lock me down in that dungeon cell and throw that key away
I shot my man he was doin' me wrong
Now Frankie she said to the warden what are they goin' to do
The warden he said to Frankie it's the electric chair for you
You shot your man he was doin' you wrong
Now this story has no moral this story has no end
This story just goes to show that there ain't no good in man
He was her man but he done her wrong

Funny, Familiar,
Forgotten Feelings
(from the
LP "I'll Help You Forget Her")
Mickey
Newberry * 1967 Acuff-Rose Music - BMI
Last night quietly he walked through my mind as I lay searching for sleep
His arms reached out, he whispered my name as he brushed a tear from my
cheek
And then those funny, familiar, forgotten feelings started walkin' all over
my mind
It's sad, so sad to watch love go bad but a true love would not have gone
wrong
I'm just thankful for the good times we've had for without them I could not
go on
With all those funny, familiar, forgotten feelings walkin' all over my mind
I must go on be strong, though a million teardrops may fall
Before those funny, familiar, forgotten feelings stop walkin' all over my
mind

Gettin' Married
Has Made Us Strangers
(from the
LP "Dottie West Sings")
Peter Udell &
Gary Geld * 1965 Post Music - ASCAP
Maybe I should give your ring back
We were closer when our hearts were free
Gettin' married has made us strangers
We're not the lovers we used to be
We don't talk now like we used to
I don't know you and it breaks my heart
Gettin' married has made us strangers
The more I see you the more we drift apart
Are you too used to me, am I too used to you
Is it too late to save the tender love we knew
Kiss me darling like you used to
Let's be lovers like we were before
Gettin' married has made us strangers
Oh, won't you say we'll be strangers no more
Gettin' married has made us strangers
Oh, won't you say we'll be strangers no more

Give Him My Love
(from the
LP "I'll Help You Forget Her")
Williams &
McCoy - 1967 ASCAP
If
you see my love with someone new
Please stop and give him my love
And if he should say she's his dream come true
Be sure and give him my love
And then if he should reach in a kiss so sweet
And on his face a smile
As she rest her head on his shoulder
And dreams of a walk down the isle
If it's you he greets with a warm hello
Just stop and give him my love
And if he still he says that he loves her so
Be sure and give him my love
And if he should think to ask of me
As she clings to him like a glove
Just tell him I miss him and give him my love (give him my love, give him my
love)

Give It Time To
Be Tender
(from
the LP "I'm Only A Woman")
Kris
Kristofferson & Donnie Fritts * 1973 Combine Music - BMI
I
feel the hunger you feel in your touch burning my body and soul
And it's frightening just wanting somebody so much, so close to losing
control
But darling don't make me surrender too soon, I'm so afraid of the fall
Please give it time to be tender and pretend it won't hurt at all
Slowly be gentle each step of the way, I've never been loved before
Let me believe that you won't turn away, after you've opened the door
But darling don't make me surrender too soon, I'm so afraid of the fall
Please give it time to be tender and pretend it won't hurt at all
Please give it time to be tender and pretend that it won't hurt at all

Good Lovin' You
(from
the LP "House Of Love")
Larry Gatlin
* 1974 First Generation Music - BMI
I've tried
not to love you but I can't not love you
I've tried not to want you but I can't not want you
I've tried not to see you but I can't not see you
And I must confess oh Lord I'd been an awful mess
And it's all because of good lovin' you
I've tried to be a good girl but I can't not want you
I've tried to see another world but I can't not see you
I've tried to run from you but I can't not have you
And I must confess oh I'd been an awful mess
And it's all because of good lovin' you
It's all because of good lovin' you
I don't know how you made me do the crazy things I do
I keep runnin' and a hidin' tryin' to get you off my mind
But then I'm surprised to tryin' I left my heart behind
And I must confess oh I'd been an awful mess
And it's all because of good lovin' you
It's all because of good lovin' you...
And it's all because of good lovin' you
And it's all because of good lovin' you

Goodbye
(from
the LP "Wild West")
Larry Butler
& Buddy Killen * 1980 Tree Publishing - BMI & ASCAP
I
get no pleasure out of giving you pain
I get no joy out of making you cry
Babe, I don't think there's an easy way to do it
No it ain't gonna be easy saying goodbye
I was so sure I had forgotten all about him
But he lit a flame that just won't die, it won't die
You've been so good to me, babe, I don't deserve you
No it ain't gonna be easy saying goodbye
Chorus:
Goodbye - there ain't no easy way to say it
Goodbye - Lord knows I might regret it
But there ain't no sense in puttin' it off
So tonight I've gotta try
But it ain't gonna be easy sayin' goodbye
Goodbye
I know the plans we made, it felt so wrong last summer
I thought by now he'd be off my mind, but I was wrong, babe
I made some promises, honey I can't keep 'em
No it ain't gonna be easy sayin' goodbye
(Repeat chorus)
It
ain't easy honey sayin' goodbye
