Lonely Is
(from
the LP "I'm Only A Woman")
Jerry Foster
& Bill Rice * 1972 Jack & Bill Music - ASCAP
Lonely is a rainy
day when home is something far away
And someone special on your mind you'd sure love to see
Lonely is a call to home when no one's there to catch the phone
And night time seems to have no dawn and you don't have a friend
Lonely is a feeling that strips your conscience bare
A state of mind you can't explain but still you know it's there
Lonely is a city street that's lost the sound of shuffling feet
And empty thing that touches you and makes you wanna cry
Lonely is a house for two when no one's living there but you
Happiness turned inside out that's what lonely is
Happiness turned inside out that's what lonely is

Long Black Limousine
(from the LP "Makin' Memories")
Bobby George &
Vern Stovall * 1962 American Music - BMI
There's a long
line of mourners driving down our little street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see
They're all of your rich friends her knew you in the city
And now they finally oh, they've brought you back home to me
When you left me you told me that someday you'd be returnin'
In a fancy car for all our town to see
Now everyone is watching, you finally got your dream
For you're ridin' in a long black limousine
All the papers told of how you lost your life
Of the party and that fatal crash that night
'Bout the race upon the highway and that curve you didn't see
And now you're ridin' in a long black limousine
Now through tear dimmed eyes I watch as you ride by
With the chauffer at the wheel he's dressed so fine
Oh but I'll never love another cause my heart and my every dream
Ride with you in that long black limousine
Ride with you in that long limousine

Look What You're Doing
(from the LP "What I'm Cut Out To Be")
Curly Putman
& Dee Moeller * 1968 Tree Publishing - BMI
I know you think
you are hurting me
And I must admit this is true
But the hurt I am feeling I know I'll get over
But look what you're doing to you
This world holds so many temptations
And I have had one or two
But the promise of evening grows dim in the morning
So look what you're doing to you
Strange lips taste better then warm so familiar
Old words sounds sweeter when new arms are holding you tight
My love isn't new but it's lasting, it's real, it's strong, and it's true
And I love you so much I don't care if you hurt me
So look what you're doing to you
So look what you're doing to you

Look Who's Talking
(with Jim Reeves)
(from the LP "Jim Reeves & Friends")
Cindy Walker
* 1963 Tree Publishing - BMI
Look who's
talking, look and you will see
The one's who are breaking up our home, isn't you and me
Look who's talking and listen carefully
The one's we thought were our best friends we our worst enemies
Chorus:
They tell me unkind things you've said and when I'm not around
They tell me of someone they've seen with you somewhere in town
Now look who's talking with teardrops in our eyes
Two broken hearts that lies destroyed, saying goodbye
Hearts that have no conscience, hands that just throw stones
Eyes that search for something wrong were welcomed to our home
(Repeat chorus)
|
Loose Talk
(with Cowboy Copas)
(from the
LP "Queens Of Country Music")
Freddie Hart
& Ann Lucas * 1954 Tree Publishing - BMI
So long we've
been married life's burden we've carried
Though faith kept us humble and made our love true
The plans that we'd make up someone seems to break up
Oh darling what else can we do
Chorus:
We may have to leave here to find piece of mind, dear
Some place where we can live a life of our own
I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
When I go out walking there's lots of loose talking
They say we're unhappy that we'll break apart
But darling it's not true because I still love you
And I do with all my heart
(Repeat chorus)
They say you are leaving that you are deceiving
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we'll show them they're wrong that loose talk can do harm
And hope that the truth they will see
(Repeat chorus)

Lord Is It I?
(from
the LP "Sing Sacred Ballads")
C. Austin
Miles * 1967 American Cowboy Music - ASCAP
Lord I come to
Thee on bended knees
My heart is oppressed by my sinfulness
Renew my strength and faith in Thee
Blot out my careless deeds
Chorus:
Oh Lord is it I who betray Thee today
Forgive my sins wash them all away
My soul looks up to Thee oh Lord I pray
Oh Lord, oh Lord, is it I
(Repeat chorus)

Lord's Prayer, The
(from
the LP "Sing Sacred Ballads")
Arnold Strals
* 1951 Almo Music - ASCAP
Our father which
art in heaven hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our
debtors
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, amen

Love As Long As
We Can
(from
the LP "House Of Love")
Dottie West,
Bryon Metcalf & Billy Davis * 1974 Tree Publishing - BMI
I won't ask
you to say you'll stay with me forever
I promise I'll always fit in your plans
Let's not waste today on what might come tomorrow
Let's love and love as long as we can
Let's love and love as long as we can
When that got-to-have-you feeling's gone and that leavin' feelin's coming on
If we've done our best we'll understand
So let's don't talk about goodbyes let's keep on reaching for the skies
And love and love as long as we can
Cause nothing lasts forever what we've got's no exception
So let us take one day at a time
Then when it's gone we'll carry on with good times to remember
So let's love and love as long as we can
Let's love and love as long as we can
Cause nothing lasts forever
Let's love and love as long as we can
Let's love and love as long as we can

Love Is Just A
Pain In The Heart
(from
the LP "Feminine Fancy")
Dottie West &
Red Lane * 1968 Tree Publishing - BMI
Everybody's been in love at one time or another
Including me not so long ago
And everybody's been hurt in one way or the other
Let me say that I am one of those
How can others stay together and our love fall apart
To some love may be pretty but to me love's just the pain in the heart
I suppose there are many who lived a life like mine
In a world of love with everything to gain
A chosen few have been showered with true love everlasting
But here I am I'm left out in the rain
I just can't understand it I guess I'm not too smart
But all I've known is heartache so to me love's just the pain in the heart

Love Is No Excuse
(with Jim Reeves)
(from the LP "Jim Reeves & Friends")
Justin Tubb *
1963 Tree Publishing - BMI
Love is no excuse
for what we're doing
For we both know that two hearts could break
We tell ourselves we've got to have each other
But love is no excuse for us to make
Chorus:
Sure we love each other and it could be so right
But not if someone else has got to pay
Our love for each other looks good in the night
But our love can never see the light of day
It's been going on for much too long now
And our wrongs have mounted one by one
We tell ourselves it's cause we love each other
But love is no excuse for what we've done
(Repeat last
verse)

Love Takes Care Of Me
(from the LP "Careless Hands")
Jimmy Peppers *
1968 Husky Music - BMI
Chorus:
'Cause your love
takes good care of me
Yes your love takes good care of me
And when the rain falls and the wind blows and the storm is on the sea
I'll be safe your love takes care of me
When life for me gets weary and the sun refuses to shine
I run to the arms of the one I love and there I'll hide
You know just what to do and say you make my life worthwhile
And when I look into your face I see heaven in your smile
(Repeat chorus
2x)
Oh I'll be safe your love takes care of me

Love's Farewell
(from the LP "Country & West")
Wayne White *
1970 Third Generation Music - BMI
The time has come
for me to leave you cryin'
But love is priceless when it's stained with tears
Love has wings and my love is ever flyin'
In its way to you through endless years
Love's young dream foretells no separations
That sacred flame can burn reality
Yet life deals out its own destinations
And sunshine turns to darkness so suddenly
Time had touched me gently in the face
And consolation I must try to find
To leavin' deaf I leave you no disgrace
And I'll live within the heart I leave behind
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

Love's So Easy
For Two
(from the
LP "Special Delivery")
Randy Goodrum &
Brent Maher * 1980 Blue Quill Music - ASCAP
I'm
wonderin' if you're still thinkin' 'bout her
And I'm wonderin' if she knows you're here
And I know you keep sayin' that you'd rather be stayin'
here with me but don't you see
Chorus:
That love's so easy for two
But so hard for three
I'm believin' that nothin' lasts forever
And I'm believin' that something's gotta change
Cause you know how it hurts me when you have to leave me
I guess that's the way it has to be
Chorus:
Cause love's so easy for two
But so hard for three
Love's so easy for two and that's how I knew
And you know that's the way it oughta be
Cause love's so easy for two (loves so easy for two)
And love is so right for two (so right)
Love's so easy for two
But so hard for three
So hard

Lover To Lover
(with John Schneider)
(from
the LP "Full Circle")
Pat Bunch, Mary
Ann Kennedy & Pam Rose * 1982 Egypt Hollow Music - BMI
I'd like to be
invisible and walk across this room
And watch you cast your spell on me beneath this magic moon
You've got me where you want me and I'm where I want to be
(Let's)
Just take what comes and love what takes the breath right out of me
When it's just you and me
Chorus:
Lover to lover, just you and me
Lover to lover, just you and me
A lover's moon is rising and the city's gone to sleep
The stars are low as the radio plays love for you and me
When your hands reach out to touch me, I hunger for your kiss
And I realize I'm living for moments just like this
When it's just you and me
(Repeat chorus)
For only the night has eyes to see
We're shadow to shadow, lost in a dream
(Repeat 1st
verse, chorus 3x and fade)

Lovin' Kind, The
(from the LP "When It's Just You And Me")
Larry Butler
& Roger Bowling * 1977 EMI Unart - BMI
Somewhere I heard
these words one time
That love was like a clingin' vine
Wrappin' 'round your heart and 'round your mind
But I've never had to cling to you
I have no fear of losin' you
Our love is not a clingin' vine
It's the lovin' kind
Somewhere I read these words one time
That love was like a glass of wine
Aging made it sweeter and so fine
It's no better now than before
'Cause when you've got the best, there's nothing more
Our love is not a glass of wine
It's the lovin' kind
Let them write their fancy words
For people who have never heard
Or tasted a love like yours and mine
Ours is not a clingin' vine,
It's simply not a glass of wine
Whoa, it's love and our love is the lovin' kind

Lovin' Season
(with Don Gibson)
(from
the LP "Rings Of Gold-Dottie & Don")
Gene Thomas *
Acuff-Rose Music - BMI
I've been feelin'
kinda funny, oh, and everything is sunny
All the bees are making honey
Oh, lovin' season is on
Got all the ammunition, got a sweet disposition
Baby I've been wishin', that you were gonna catch me
Before the lovin' season is gone
Chorus:
Well I've got nothin' but time to try to win your love
Baby you're on my mind
You're the only thing I've been thinkin' of
Well, I'm takin' my stand,
I'm tryin' hard as I can
To prove that I'm the right man
Lovin' season is near
Well, baby you're so pleasin', all I need is squeezin'
Maybe that's the reason
I'm a-runnin' slow because the lovin' season is here
(Repeat chorus)
Well, I'm gonna bet'cha
Oh, I'm gonna get'cha
And maybe I'll just let'cha
Lovin' season is here
Lovin' season is here

Loving Gift, The (with Kenny Rogers)
(from the LP
"Every Time Two Fools Collide")
Kris
Kristofferson * 1972 Combine Music - BMI
You gave me a
blanket to keep me from the cold
And you gave me a song I've learn to sing
You showed me some beauty through the windows of your soul
And you showed me a world I've never seen
Each giving to the other loving giving it away
We spent the precious time we knew was borrowed
And you gave me the courage to live with yesterday and you gave me tomorrow
You gave me a candle to light my way to bed
You erased those shadows I'd been seeing
You brought me a pillow to rest my weary head
And you taught me a gentle way of dreaming
And even if you leave me I'll be richer than before
Just living with the loving gift you gave me
Cause you gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold
And you gave me a baby

Loving On Borrowed Time
(from the LP "With All My Heart And Soul")
Dottie West, Bill West & Ray Wix * 1966 Tree Publishing - BMI
Stealing someone
else's love is as bad as any crime
And we know someday we'll pay we're just loving on borrowed time
How much longer can I hide this stolen love that can't be mine
And how much longer can we run till they find oh oh we're loving on borrowed
time
Loving in our sacred world has been like heaven here on earth
But you know as well as I we're just loving on borrowed time
But for now forget and hold me tight how could we ever say goodbye
For we're bound to get burn this flame is much too high
Oh oh we're loving on borrowed time oh oh we're loving on borrowed time
|
Loving You Has Meant Everything To Me
(from the LP "Country & West")
Don Gibson * 1970 Acuff-Rose - BMI
Loving you
has meant everything to me
Oh I can finally see you're really gone from me
Loving you has meant the whole world to me
Oh, but it's too late now I see that you were all that I could ever need
Now ain't funny to keep on hurtin' one who loves you tenderly
Then you'll wake up one day and find he slips slowly away
To the arms of someone new
(Repeat first
verse)
