Bubba Please Don’t Cry by Billy Martin
When our mother left this world, she left two little sons I was almost eight years old, but Bubba was only one I can hear our daddy pray each night, as he looks up in the sky Please watch over me and my boys, and help Bubba not to cry
(Chorus) Bubba please don’t cry, everything’s gonna be alright Daddy’s here with us and mama’s with Jesus tonight Sometimes things happen that we just don’t understand But Bubba please don’t cry, you’re daddy’s little man
Mama was workin’ hard, tryin’ to help make us a livin’ She was laughin’ and lovin’, and she was always forgivin’ Then the angels came for her, before we could say good-bye Every night I can hear her whisper, Bubba please don’t cry

Good Man Gone Wrongby Dr. C.R. Paramesh
You’ve been good to me Yet you keep me at bay I want you to love me I can’t wait another day
You want to stay close But you keep far away You couldn’t win my heart How do I let you part
(Chorus) If I bid you goodbye Would it be wrong Am I not better off When you are gone It’s a rough road ahead So don’t you tell me lies I’m better off alone Good man gone wrong
Love’s in your dreams A bright star in the night You don’t have to miss me If you play your cards right
Just try to be a man That’s what I ask of you Dream what you want to dream Go wherever you have to

Everything Will Be Alright by Doris Hays
Sitting on the front porch Feeling kinda blue Along came the neighbor boy Sat down to say hello Why are you sad he asked As he wiped tears from my eyes I said my boyfriend left me Didn’t even say goodbye
(Chorus) Please don’t fret Everything will be alright Along will come another Only to you will he be true
How can you know that When my heart hurts so As he held my hand He began to let me know Don’t wish for someone Who’s selfish and so mean He said, look into my eyes And tell me what you see
Chorus
He was right I could see the love he felt for me Everything will be alright I was blind but now I see

God Gave Me Diamonds by James Larson
God gave me diamonds at dark After the Sparrow landed For nightfall with the Lark I see silver–white diamonds Sewn in ebony skies Then hear the breeze call to the moon at night
I slowly decorate my love’s hair As she holds on to me In the cool night air I say to God in my mind Thank you for diamonds in my night And seeing them in my love’s hair with such delight
(Chorus) I dream of more nights to come After I’ve seen the rabbit on the run When I can count diamonds on high And hear my heart cry In murmurs of passion for the one I love
There’s such a thrill to the sight Of watching her smile With such delight Seeing diamonds that God set In the midnight sky Softly reflecting in my eyes
(Chorus) My love and I now share The excitement of night air As we appreciate the diamonds God put there We can now together dream A dream that is so sweet Feeling diamonds God sent falling at our feet You know God gave me diamonds

Wish I Mayby James Larson
I wish I may, I wish I might On this awesome starry night Find a woman to share my whole life through Wish I might, wish I may Find someone any day Who can take this loneliness away Hope I find her soon
Wish I may, wish I might Find someone warm and true Someone who is wonderful like you Someone who can share a dream And can make this sad heart sing A song of love and make my heart feel new I wish it may be you
(Chorus) I dream of watching birds float by Under Spring’s eternal sky With someone wonderful like you Touching rainbows in the morning dew I dream of presenting them with kisses just for you Holding all the colors ‘til they turn blue As I touch your face And give another kiss to you
So upon this golden day With silver ribbons wrapped around the moon I close my eyes and I see you here And hear you whisper in my ear Words of love so soft and true And your whisper becomes singing with a melody That only you can do
(Chorus) So I wish I may and I wish I might Find you by tomorrow night And then place the stars around the moon Then you and I could claim the starlit sky As our private little place For you and I to take our honeymoon

Catching Crawfishby James Larson
Catching crawfish in the stream Now I lay me down and dream Of this moment as a boy With it’s struggle and it’s joy Riding ponies until dark Following a Meadow Lark The joy of me and ponies and the other boy On his horse, Oh man, oh boy
Jumping into the blue lake After the hay was cut and raked Feeling dust wash away At the end of another perfect day I dream and remember when I had the trust of a friend As we would walk on creek bed rocks Forsaking time and kitchen clocks
(Chorus) Catching fish and chasing snakes Cornering minnows for our bait These are the things I dream of now Even of a Holstien cow Even of a White-Faced Red Keeping the calf protected and fed Ain’t it funny how I dream of this As a boy catching crawfish
I lay back and remember when I shared excitement with a friend We would adventure on As long as a summer day would last And my mind’s eye’s looking glass Is a mirror of a time long past That pleasures me right now To think and dream of it all somehow
Chorus

Homeby Jean Renee Johnson
Knowing that I’m God’s child Makes me constantly smile So humble and coy Filled with His glory and joy
Graduated from the friend zone Never home alone Not because anyone says so Not because I have to
Not because… I am told what to do And not because I’m made to But because… it’s what I want to do
And I’m all about home And home is all about me No matter where I go or what I see Home is where I want to be
Knowing that I’m God’s child Makes me constantly smile So humble and coy Filled with His glory and joy
Graduated from the friend zone Never home alone Not because anyone says so Not because I have to

Lighthouse Of My Life by Richard Sponaugle
A heart shipwrecked many years Drowned in stormy seas of tears All my sunken eyes saw clear Were the great lakes of lost loves I grasped for a hand to hold A blind man desperate yet bold But I grew bitter and old Till your bright grin made me young
(Chorus) You’re the lighthouse of my life You’re my lighthouse and my wife You are the lighthouse of my life You are my lighthouse and my wife
When my world starts to lack light You’re a beacon in the night We hold each other so tight Till I feel fifty feet high Please don’t let love’s light burn out If you leave I’ll shout and pout No matter which, I doubt If I’d see bright light again
Chorus

Money For Christmasby Richard Sponaugle
Gift’s wrapped with colorful ink Tear it open with a wink Just to see a tie that’s pink With purple and turquoise dots You dig it out of the yard Then give me some cheap gift card To spend at Montgomery Lards Goes “rip” in the round file
Don’t make any great big fuss Gimme money for Christmas I won’t need no pet walrus Gimme money for Christmas Don’t make any great big fuss Gimme money for Christmas I won’t need no pet walrus Gimme money, gimme money Gimme money for Christmas
They say it’s the thought that counts But my checkbook “boong” goes bounce When my Santa sack amounts To board games that “yawn” bore me I sneak into the discount store They won’t let me in no more Cause of all my return tours To return and return …..
Don’t make any great big fuss Gimme money for Christmas I won’t need no pet walrus Gimme money for Christmas Don’t make any great big fuss Gimme money for Christmas I won’t need no pet walrus Gimme money, gimme money Gimme money for Christmas

My Daddy Was A Soldier by Stacy Holleder Jones and Harvey Shapiro
My dad was killed in ‘Nam When I was nine years old Trying to save the wounded A hero I’ve been told
So many years have passed I miss him every day I’m proud to be an Army brat So now I’ll have my say
(Chorus) Please don’t ever tell me My daddy died in vain Fighting for a worthless cause In an insane, senseless game Politicians call the shots It’s always been that way A soldier may not like it But does he really have a say?
It sounds a bit familiar A nation torn apart A war of words back home How many broken hearts?
More daughters feel the pain It never goes away Their Daddies lost in battle Will they ever laugh again?

In My Dreamsby Doris E. Hays
In the early hours of the morning I hear you whisper my name As I lay wrapped in slumber Your voice echoes through the haze
Why are you calling me You seem so far away I try not to think of you In my travels through the day
(Chorus) Memories of us when we were young Lingers in my heart and mind When you visit me in my dreams I’m in love with you again
In my dreams you are with me The heart remembers another time and place When life was simple and we were young But time has slipped away
I thought that you were gone Out of my life for good But I was wrong As your memory still haunts me in my dreams
(Chorus) Memories of us when we were young Lingers in my heart and mind When you visit me in my dreams I’m in love with you again I’m in love with you in my dreams

Open The Door To My Heart, Oh Lordby Rick Curti
Open the door to my heart, oh Lord Hawthorne Lane has done that for me It’s everything and a whole lot more So much happiness and so much warmth
The angels look down upon everyone Casting His love ever so brightly Thank you for all that you have done Hawthorne Lane hugs from all around
A celebration for an historic anniversary You are number one How perfect can that be
Open the door to my heart, oh Lord You’ve opened my eyes with your love Seeing everything with all of His glory Hawthorne Lane we love you
You’ve made me see the light Everything is alright You’re there for us morning and night Though we miss you We know you’re never gone Your spirit grows from within us
Making me stronger throughout the day Oh you’re so great Touching my soul from place to place
Open the door to my heart, oh Lord You’ve opened my eyes with your love Open the door to my heart, oh Lord You’ve opened my eyes with your love

(Chorus) Street corner lady, my used to be friend She likes all the nightspots They say she loves all the men Well it isn’t the money She’s just there for the fun If something good wanders by She’ll turn and she’ll run
Now I went out one evening to try to unwind Someone asked me about her But I didn’t mind Cause I have a companion wherever I go It’s the memory of someone Who I used to know… it’s my

Tell Me What You See by Sir John Harris
You walked into my heart And made me glad When I was sad I felt I met you before Just look at you Sitting there looking so fine Will you be mine Tonight hand in hand
(Chorus) Tell me what you see Is it me what you see Tell me what you see Could it be me Tell me what you see Tell me what you see
All the things I’ve been through Nothing comes closer Than holding you Can I be dreamin’ at all You are my lovin’ star Don’t let go of this I don’t want to stop Take me higher and higher

The Woman In Meby David Bates
Putting in a full day for my pay A strong faith in the man above Enjoying the sound of gently falling rain And the country music that I love Well that’s just the woman in me
My knowing my way around a kitchen My good manners and respectful ways Are all applauded by the folks who know me But I can’t take credit for their praise Cause that’s just the woman in me
(Chorus) The woman in me is the reason That I grew up tall and strong With a caring heart and a loving soul And the knowledge of right and wrong Even though I’m often tempted And many times I go astray Right there to put me back on track To forever show me the way Is the woman…The woman in me
Always having the courage to join the fight The good sense when to back down Being able to forgive and compromise But when right to always stand my ground Well that’s just the woman in me
My great pride in flag and country My fondness for man’s best friend And undying love for home and family Will always be mine ‘til the end Cause that’s just the woman in me
Chorus
It was your firm hand and forgiving heart That brought out the best in me When looking down from your home in heaven above I hope you take pride in what you see
(Chorus Variation) Because the woman in me is the reason That I grew up tall and strong With a caring heart and a loving soul And the knowledge of right and wrong Even though I’m often tempted And many times I go astray Right there to put me back on track To forever show me the way Is the woman… The woman in me And I thank God For the woman in me

What Is It? by Richard Sponaugle
An eight-year-old walked down his block Stared down at big writing in chalk Spent six minutes at the sidewalk Before getting obsessed big time I asked my friends and enemies Nearly drove my family crazy But no one could answer me ya see Sidewalk riddle just couldn’t be solved
(Chorus) The seller sure doesn’t need it The buyer sure doesn’t want it The owner sure never sees it Tell me what is it? What is it? That sellers never need for sure That buyers never want for sure And owners never see for sure Tell me what is it? What is it?
Lost all my jobs day dreaming Possessed mind couldn’t stop scheming To solve that knowing riddle thing Met Miss Right on the welfare line Pity I missed our wedding day Steering wheel mis-steered on the way I went back to that concrete of clay Riddle was gone but not my quest
Chorus
Now I’m buried in my coffin So now I know the answer It’s a coffin, That’s what it is That’s what it is yeah, That’s what it is
The seller sure doesn’t need it The buyer sure doesn’t want it The owner sure never sees it Tell me what is it? Now you know what it is Now you know what it is

Daddy’s Last Christmas by David Bates
Don’t recall what I was doing The day my momma called to say That according to the doctors This might be Daddy’s last Christmas day Though the family was spread far and wide And some hadn’t spoken in years Plans were changed and bridges mended Between the heartbreak and the tears
(Chorus) It could be Daddy’s last Christmas Please come home if you can It would mean so much to Daddy To see us all together again
Everyone agreed they’d make it home For the first time in a while Seeing us all pull together for Daddy Well, that made my momma smile It was our best Christmas ever Even better than when we were small And Daddy said having his family together Was the greatest gift of all
Chorus Seven years have gone by now And there seems no way to explain That due to some kind of Christmas miracle We’re celebrating Daddy’s last Christmas again So during this holiday season When with the ones you that hold dear Treat it like it was your last Christmas And remember this year after year …that

Tell Me (Why)by Tyler Simmons
Lying here looking up at the stars I always feel this way when you’re in my arms But why do you feel so far away Every time I try to talk to you It seems you don’t wanna hear what I gotta say Baby can you tell me what’s wrong Cause I never wanna lose you I’ll never tried to use you But I’m feeling it
(Chorus) You were the girl of my dreams The one who made me who I am Is this the way you wanna go Cause if you don’t know Oh, I’ve never felt you pulling away like this So I just gotta say Oh girl please find a way Baby can you tell me what’s wrong
Stand still, waiting for the words I long to hear You’re next to me, but it seems like you’ve gone away I’ve been feeling it since the day I asked you what was going on Baby, can you tell me what’s wrong You’ve never made me feel this way I hope we can go on another day
Chorus
I was there when you needed me most So tell me, Tell me why Why you are pulling away Pulling away from me

Together (We Will Sing)by Tyler Simmons
Close your eyes and see the world In a way it’s never been seen Climb the highest mountain To a place you’ve never been Break down the wall And blindly fall Into a world that has it all
(Chorus) No one has to hide away Come and join the crowd Everyone from everywhere Will be the ones to sing As we lift one voice Forgetting everything
The way we talk, the way we walk All will melt away As we take our neighbor’s hand The lives we live, the things we give They all will disappear And we will not give up Until we have made it all clear
Chorus
The world will never be the same So stand up and grab a hand Together we will sing
Chorus

Truth Be Told by Tyler Simmons
They were together for about two years Ask anybody, this is what you’d hear “They were the cutest couple” “Oh yeah, they’re gonna stay together” No one asked him, no one really dared As long as nothing happened they didn’t care He’d go out with the guys, she’d give him a call She’s sigh and say nothing at all He wished he could say exactly what he’d been thinking Say it to her face without even blinking
(Chorus) Truth be told I never really liked your smile I wasn’t cold So I said nothing about your style It’s over now This time you’ve gone too far You’re cool, but you ain’t no star So when I say you fit me like a glove I’m not holding onto you I’m just hanging onto love
She’s trying on all the clothes, He said he really liked He’d never say she looked good, He’d just put up a fight She doesn’t wanna be alone, So she calls him on the telephone But he wasn’t home, He was out on the town So she wishes she could say exactly how she felt And he’d have to handle the cards that he’d dealt
Chorus
Love, it’s all I want, It’s all I want But I don’t want it from you, anymore, anymore
Chorus
We were together for about two years Ask anybody, this is what you’d hear “They are so over”

Country On My Mind by Leon Newton
Could not sleep all night Thinking ‘bout country I could not understand Why someone would name Their child Country with a beautiful smile Such beauty that few women can possess
The way she walks and talks Makes a strong man weak Got Country on my mind I think I’ll make her mine I think about Country all the time As her and I drink a glass of wine
I know Country is the woman for me I hope we can be together always you see Yes Country is the girl, the girl for me I can’t help myself Got Country on my mind all the time
Could not sleep all night Thinking ‘bout country I could not understand Why someone would name Their child Country with a beautiful smile Such beauty that’s so very hard to find I can’t help myself Got Country on my mind

Tough Enough To Bluffby Richard Sponaugle
You sing that same tired tune Say you’re gonna leave me soon Maybe before the next moon But sure as the sun will shine
You still stay my griping spouse I hate to call you a louse But even a timid mouse Get sick of your idle threats
(Chorus) While you’re tough enough to bluff You will never leave in a huff While you’re tough enough to bluff You will never leave in a huff
You can’t fool me anymore Your act’s just like an endless bore Oscar worthy to its core Cryin’ shame I can’t applaud
Who else would tolerate you No one else on earth, that’s who You took my loving so true And abused it all too long
Chorus
I’m sick of all my heartache Had all that a soul can take Time for me to make my break I’m leaving you right away, I mean right now
Chorus
I’m not tough enough to bluff I’m gone for good from you While you’re tough enough to bluff You will never leave in a huff

Discount Heart by Jim Bates
My old heart was getting scared up and battle worn Just one more love and I knew it would soon be gone I was worried and scared, I didn’t know just what to do When an old friend said Pal, I’ve got news for you
(Chorus) They’ve got a heck of a deal at the used hearts discount mart For about half price you get a brand new rebuilt heart It’s shiny and neat and you can wear it on you sleeve And it won’t be hard to get off when she leaves
I used to go out with every sweet thing in this town But my old gal always caught me running ‘round She wouldn’t buy my story no matter what I’d say Then take my heart with her when she went away ..But
Chorus
Now there’s three kinds from which you can choose One is tough ‘cause it’s already seen the blues Another is tender, almost like a baby’s heart And that teflon one is hard to tear apart

Misery Loves Companyby David Bates
I heard your baby left you Now ain’t that a shame But don’t sit there feeling blue Cause you ain’t to blame I’m coming by to get you So just wipe off that frown You see my baby left too And now we’re hittin’ the town
(Chorus) Now you’re saying no way But take it from me It ain’t just a cliché Cause misery loves company
We’ll listen to some sad tunes And hit all the bars Pour whiskey on our wounds ‘Til they turn into scars And we’ll keep downing beers Until the scars start to fade Or ‘til the water from our tears Has finally washed them away
(Chorus) Now you’re still thinking no way But take it from me It ain’t just a cliché Cause misery loves company
There’s no need to be lonely I’ve got the cure for you Us sharing sad songs and whiskey At a table for two We’ll swap our sad stories Might just have us a dance Drown all those old memories Maybe start a new romance
(Chorus) So stop saying no way Just take it from me It ain’t just a cliché Cause misery loves company Oh yeah misery loves company

You’re Not Sorry, Just Pitiful by Richard Sponaugle
I heard you apologize Saw you wince and agonize Like a fool I believed Even after being deceived But you’ve been caught cheating twice And you ain’t gonna lie thrice
(Chorus) You’re not sorry, just pitiful Think you’re slick and witiful You’re not sorry, just pitiful Think you’re slick and witiful
Yes I’m a lovesick fool, it’s true But country folks get schooled too Once bitten and twice shy Twice heartbroken and goodbye Hurt me ‘till I can’t see straight Now go on with your secret date
Chorus
Best stay away from me though Your being near me is a big no no
You’re not sorry, just pitiful Think you’re slick and witiful You’re not sorry, just pitiful Think you’re slick and witiful

Smileby Yvonne Wood
Hey fella sitting there, I see you all alone Drowning in your sorrows, penny for your thoughts I have tried so hard to get your attention But you just sit there as if you were distraught
(Chorus) There is something about those pretty brown eyes That makes me want to be really close to you What is your name? Is there someone in your life? I may seem to come on too strongly or rude
But when opportunity knocks, I've been told Just open the door and don't let it slip away Your eyes are so bright, but your heart’s so cold Felt a stone chill when I walked by you today
(Chorus) There's got to be a smile that matches those eyes I know it's hard to smile with a broken heart She wronged you and left without saying goodbye A smile will help give your life a brand new start
We could help each other heal our broken hearts Oh yes! I am a hopeless romantic girl Don't let a messy break up tear you apart Come along with me, we can conquer the world
Repeat 2nd Chorus

The Lonely Chance Danceby Charles E. Carr
There she is, not beautiful but cute She’s clean and lean She’s looking at me with a smile And it has been a while She looks as lonely as I do I’m so tempted to try But I don’t want another quick romance But I’ll take a chance on a dance
As we danced she began to cry I said I’m lonely too, do you want to know why So we told our stories We went slow – no quick romance And so began the Lonely Chance Dance
Her husband died two years ago In that senseless war She has a son who’s four She happy, but she wants a little more And me, my wife left But I have my little boy and girl She left because of security But now things have turned ‘round beautifully
And as time has passed over the months A true friendship has begun And slowly that friendship Turned into a lasting romance And it all began with the Lonely Chance Dance
And now she stands so beautiful Still clean and lean I’m so glad we took it slow And I didn’t let her go
Cause as time has passed over the months A true friendship has begun And slowly that friendship Turned into a lasting romance And it all began with the Lonely Chance Dance Yeah it all began with the Lonely Chance Dance

Sons Of The Southby Donald Ray Pierce
Well I was born in Shreveport Raised in sweet home Alabam Where I learned to moan the blues And to be proud of who I am Spent most of my life on the road Playing a lot of one night shows And I’ve crossed the Mason line But I had Dixie on my mind
(Chorus) Cause I’m a son of the South I know what Dixie’s about I know how good life can be In a country where I am free I speak with country in my mouth Cause I’m a son of the south
Well daddy was born in Alabam Raised on the Montgomery streets Played the blues with Tet Tot Just to make the ends meet He wore tailored suits And drove a Cadillac And when it came to music He didn’t believe in holding back
(Chorus) Cause he’s a son of the South He knew what Dixie’s about He knew how good life can be In a country where he was free Spoke with country in his mouth Cause he’s a son of the south
From the country to town Sons of the South can be found And from the Dixon line to the sea They’re good ole boys just like me
(Chorus) Cause we’re sons of the South We know what Dixie’s about We know how good life can be In a country where we are free We speak with country in our mouths Cause we’re the sons of the south (Yea we know what Dixie’s about) Cause we’re the son’s of the south

Bitter Windsby Richard Sponaugle
Each kiss was a summer breeze I hugged all the willow trees And gave sweet honey to bees Life’s gusts were soothing Zephyrs
Then the fickle gales of fate Turned your love to endless hate To flee the cyclones too late I’ve been condemned and torn down
(Chorus) Bitter winds ripped through my heart Bitter winds ripped me apart Bitter winds ripped through my heart Bitter winds ripped me apart
Got no hurricane warning That storm clouds began forming You left one stormy morning Deadly swirling tornado
If I did something so wrong That caused wicked gusts so strong I’ve searched my heart oh so long And can’t think of anything
(Chorus) Bitter winds ripped through my heart Bitter winds ripped me apart Bitter winds ripped through my heart Bitter winds ripped me apart Bitter winds, bitter winds

Soul Mate by Matt David Lamb
She started looking for her soul mate Chasing tomorrow like it was here today Changing things she could never change It's funny how time can change everything
No longer playing 'cause it's no game It's so much harder than yesterday Put blinders on, now her vision's straight Everything about her looks ok
(Chorus) 'Cause she's looking for her soul mate At Barnes and Noble drinking skinny lattes Reading books and all of the latest magazines Strolling all around, looking like she's got all day But she's looking for her soul mate
When it's Mr. right she's gonna know for sure But the clock’s ticking 'cause she's thirty four She's not that little girl anymore And smart enough to know she’s no Demi Moore
So when she's out on the dance floor All those guys do nothing for her anymore They run to open up her door But she's not running through it like before
Cause she's looking for her soul mate For Mr. Right always the wrong way But she can't stand another heart ache Ready to give it all to find the right one to take Cause she's looking for her soul mate
Now where's that man who can make her feel Like that show on Oprah with Dr. Phil There's nothing to it if it's just almost real To her it's all or nothing got to be the real deal
She wants her man to take her to the stars Even if they don’t go very far Wants him to know what's in her heart The one she's ending up with before they start
Cause she's looking for her soul mate She's on the net with her own web page She even subscribes to E Harmony Got everything to give you can see it in her face Cause she's looking for her soul mate
Why Do Angelsby Matt David Lamb
She sees the bright lights Hears the whisper of another Tries to grip her faith tight His eyes provide a snare to love her Why do angels have to fall like prey He's at home been up all night In red thorny sheets he waits for his lover Why do angels have to leave us this way
(Chorus) Why do angels have to do that Give you their love then take it all back Why do angels fall so far away
Why do angels have to believe that The heaven they need a stranger brings back Why do angels have to fall so far from grace Why do Angels
She left herself so easily torn He knows she wont be coming back Regrets he lost all that she swore But prays for her and all that she lacks Why do angels sometimes forget to pray He looks for yesterday still wants her more She seeks her future forgets their past Why do angels have to leave us this way
Chorus
His fears have drifted him down deep within Outside he's lost and mourns every day For the pain he feels looks up to heaven Offers no excuse just takes all the blame Why do angels do a man this way He wonders did she care or really love him If yes it will just increase his pain Why do angels have to lead us so astray
Chorus,..........

Oh Precious Country Americaby Arthur Sherman
The children wake up screaming Mom and dad what did you do to me Oh precious country America We fight for liberty Young men and woman They have to leave their families To defend their country’s honor And to make it save for me
(Chorus) Oh precious country America We are like cold steel And we will not bend We will fight till the end We will stay and fight till the end
Our country took our sons and daughters Husbands and wives For freedom and liberty We will lay down our lives Our country took our sons and daughters To fight across the sea Now our homes are empty The Lord has them for eternity

Mystery Man by Arthur Sherman
I have these fantasies of you Which I dream each night come true But can it happen Mystery Man It’s all up to you
How many times can you take the hurt That you keep inside of you All because someone that you love Walks away from you
(Chorus) Why did you pull your face away from me When I wanted to hug and kiss you The day will come when all of our dreams will come true And you’ll see how much you mean to me my Mystery Man
Sitting in a Bingo hall Trying to pass the time away But the pain and hurt in my heart Is always here to stay
God knows how much I love you He is always by my side And comforts me as I sit here In this hall and cry
Chorus
I know I shouldn’t worry And I know I shouldn’t care But Mystery Man my arms Are just holding thin air
You know how much I love you So don’t turn your back on me ‘Cause I’m the woman who’ll be there When you feel the need
Chorus
Doorbell Could Speakby Dr. C.R. Paramesh
Out in Longwood Gardens Perfume of flowers I missed But I missed to see Bee in her bonnet kissed
A flock of blue birds Flew out cooing merrily If you call it Love I love it, live it, with you in it
(Chorus) The doorbell could speak Witness to my hearts echo Time would be redeemed Witness to memory stream
I always loved you I give you proof when you want The day never should end Until the violets turn red
Out in Longwood Gardens Perfume of flowers I missed But I missed to see Bee in her bonnet kissed
Chorus Chorus

Too Lateby Leon Newton
Arriving home late one night My wife and I started to fight What an awful sight, Both of us thought we were right I noticed her face was tight When she asked me if I cheat I said no, but my eyes told a different story
(Chorus) I saw her tears flowing down As I turned and walked away Feeling sorry, how I made her sad She started to cry, uncontrollable It was just a one night stand We danced to the band
Arriving home with some wine Hoping everything was fine In my heart I loved her And I would always care I called, hey, are you here But my dear wasn’t there A strange cold came over me As I entered the bedroom
(Chorus) Hoping she would be there So I could show how much I care I wanted to say I’m sorry for last night With the situation tense I tried hard not to flinch Baby I want you to know how much I care
(Chorus) Hoping she would be there So I could so how much I care I wanted to say I’m sorry for last night With the situation tense I tried hard not to flinch Baby I want you to know how much I care Hope it’s not Too Late

Don’t Judge Me By My Pastby Willa Stewart
I’ve learned to put my past behind, nothing left for you to find Of that foolish little girl I was back then I’m grown up now, you’ll find me now, with all my sins behind me Now I’ve become the woman you can love again
(Chorus) Don’t judge me by my past That time is long forgotten, done and gone I’ll show you how I’m different now You’ll be my only love from this day on

Chorus
If you judge me, we can just be friends But if you love me, I can make amends

Chorus
Don’t judge me by my past, I swear my love will last

Taking Back My Yesterdayby Willa Stewart
Yesterday we used to be Sweethearts, happy, wild and free But you turned into somethin’ cruel I guess you took me for a fool
Then today you made me cry Smashed my hopes, no reason why Took my smallest dream apart Stole the music from my heart
(Chorus) I’m taking back my yesterday The time has come for you to pay I found the strength to say goodbye The table’s turned, now you can cry
Yesterday when I could sing You were my heart, my everything But soon you spent my only song Stole my freedom, did me wrong
Yesterday I had my pride Until you made me hurt inside So now it’s time for me to say I’m taking back my yesterday
Chorus
When did love turn into pain, When did sunshine turn to rain Yesterday is dead and gone, And I’ll have to carry on
Yesterday I had my pride Until you hurt me deep inside So now it’s time for me to say I’m taking back my yesterday
I’m taking back my yesterday The time has come for you to pay I found the strength to say goodbye Got tired of the games you play, I’m taking back my yesterday

You Ain’t Gonna Hurt Me Any More by Willa Stewart
Guess you thought I wouldn’t catch you, but I fin’ly realized That the tricks you used to play on me can’t take me by surprise I’m real tired of your games and being hurt day after day So here’s your key, I’m takin’ off, no matter what you say
Mustang idlin’ in the driveway and it’s loaded to the top Watch me pullin’ into traffic, baby, I’m not gonna stop See my taillights getting’ smaller, don’t try comin’ after me ‘Cause I’m runnin’ for my life here, and I’m goin’ to be free
(Chorus) Baby you ain’t gonna hurt me anymore Yeah I’m givin’ up, I’m headin’ for the door Don’t expect me to forgive, ‘cause I’ve got my life to live And I just can’t trust you like I did before
Girl you hurt me for the last time, it’s too late to stop me now Gonna burn this tatoo off my arm and come out whole somehow I’m fed up with all the cheatin’ and the lyin’ and the rest Like I’m stuck in county lockup, feelin’ mighty damned depressed
Chorus
Turn around, your game’s all over now, I’m gone You can hurt somebody else, I’m movin’ on
All your tears ain’t gonna move me ‘cause I’m fed up with the pain And your hurtin’ party’s over, this poor sucker broke the chain You can blame yourself now baby, no more bridges left to burn Don’t keep standin’ in the doorway, wond’rin’ why I won’t return
All your tears ain’t gonna matter, I’ve moved on You ain’t gonna hurt me any more, I’m gone

Cheat Cheat Repeatby Richard Sponaugle
That old saying’s too true I learned it through and through Fool me once shame on you Fool me twice shame on me You cried and hung your head Swore you wished, you were dead
No one’s perfect, I said But I learned, the sad truth
(Chorus) You just cheat, cheat repeat Through rain, snow and sleet You just cheat, cheat repeat With anything on feet You just cheat, cheat repeat Through rain, snow and sleet You just cheat, cheat repeat With anything on feet
Once won’t quench your sick lust You’re the one I sure trust To turn my heart to rust Why’d I ever meet you I’m through, through with you Cause the cruel things that you do
Would make, a saint true blue So please, just go away
(Chorus) You just cheat, cheat repeat Through rain, snow and sleet You just cheat, cheat repeat With anything on feet You just cheat, cheat repeat So go far away You just cheat, cheat repeat Cheat, cheat repeat
Repeat

Guess What I Love About You (Everything) by Matt David Lamb
I’m so tired of everybody telling you How you should look, what to say, and what you need to do Now Jenny says that you need to lose a few pounds Oil of Olay says the beauty you’ve lost is in that jar they found But Jenny girl ain’t seeing what I see What’s in that jar may help, but here’s what you really need
(Chorus) Guess what I love about you (everything) I love the way you make those old (bluejeans sing) It’s like glory be and hallelujah girl Just half of what you got still rocks my whole world
So if we’ve heaped too much upon your plate I’ll take it off, Won’t use a fork girl, I’ll use a rake And sit you down there in that easy chair Just soak your feet inside that book, leave every care Once in awhile remember that you’re mine And those jewels inside your eyes, they make my heart shine. . and
(Chorus) Guess what I love about you (everything) I love the way you just make that (front porch swing) Get in my car, I’ll take you for a whirl We’ll renew our vows like the first time in that old Ford
So don’t you worry girl, everything is fine You may be gettin’ older, but you’re aging like fine wine So let the sands of time girl, fall where they will Cause when we wake up tomorrow, you’ll be finer still And if I had to do it all again I’d take you as my only lover and my best friend
(Chorus) Guess what I love about you (everything) I love the way your hair just falls down (in your face) Still got me singing glory be and hallelujah girl Still got me wishing I could give you the whole wide world

Baby One Of These Daysby Matt David Lamb
The wolf pulled the wool over my eyes Then he was gone again I was left with lies big and empty As this house we live in Still I wanted to believe everything he’d say Cause he’d say
Baby one of these days I swear, I’m gonna treat you better Gonna hold on oh so close, just the way you wear that sweater Baby one of these days, just give me now until forever I’m gonna love you and never leave you ever I’m gonna love you like that, baby one of these days
But right now he’s not living In one of these days Against my heart he’s riding harder Than all these towns in he plays And I don’t need his lovin’ like that Not while he’s living this way But he’d say
Baby one of these days I’ll stop, your tender heart from aching And give you back the love, just the way that I’ve been taking Baby one of these days, just give me now until forever I’m gonna love you and never leave you ever I’m gonna love you like that Baby one of these days
Now I watch him like a play His pages turning as they often did This heart I love’s as big but empty As this dream I live in And yet I still hold onto everything he’d say Cause he’d say
Baby one of these days I’ll dry off all the tears you’re crying And show you all the love inside that I’ve been hiding Baby one of these days, just give me now until forever I’m gonna love you and never leave you ever I’m gonna love you like that Baby one of these days

I’ll Sing Your Songby Matt David Lamb
Now that it’s over and all our love has run out Not too many sing, what their love was about But I’ll sing to you, like all the sad songs we sing Somehow you just slipped away So as we mixed up and traded our love for lust I know it’s not half what we hoped for
(Chorus) So I’ll sing your song You can just sing along Yes I’ll sing your song If you want, sing along I’ll sing your song You can just sing along I’ll sing your song
So don’t believe all I said in brief moments of heat When the sun beats down on us, we all need relief Didn’t mean to say those things, I know all you are Still shines bright as the stars So go on search for your truth, but don’t get trapped in the lies Of all you can never undo
Chorus
I’ll hold out my hand, to give you one last dance We’re falling from grace, but it’s not that lonely a place Need to remember that love is so much more And fools like us fall all the time I’m lying hopes next to dreams So sorry that I broke your wings
Chorus

I Don’t Need You Anymoreby Amy Johnson
You said you’d be gone by fall I guess you were right You packed up all our dreams And left on the next flight
I really thought that you’d be back Now nothing is the same I’ll say goodbye to yesterday And try to put out the flames
(Chorus) So the leaves came down And the cold winds blew And the love that walked out Didn’t have a clue So let the rains fall from heaven And come and wash my soul Cause I’m getting on with my life And I don’t need you anymore
Lyin’ here in the dark Willing and able to run Lookin’ out my window Wishing for the sun
Knowing these are life’s lessons That I’ll have to learn Cause baby this is the last time That I’ll crash and burn
Chorus
Chorus

Out Of Sightby Ernest Day
When you walked out on me My world became a bore There was nothing else That was worth living for I lost my heart To you alone Now all the good times are gone
Like the rain that falls You know that it can’t last My soul belonged to you But now you’re in the past The fun we had You’ve taken away Now there are only memories
I wonder near and far And here’s the reason why I’m so far out of sight And Out of mind To another place and time
So now I think of you Almost all the time But I’m out of sight And out of mind I can’t think straight You drive me crazy You’re always on my mind
I’m out of touch With reality I’ve forgotten where I’m Suppose to be My soul and heart Still cry for you But the love is gone, it’s true
Chorus Chorus

I Would Have Given You My Handby Sandy Chase
You want my hand But you don’t have My heart It’s not the same As it was from the start
You’re a stranger now Who shares my bed So many words You leave unsaid
(Chorus) When I hold your hand I feel no connection And you know I’m not Looking for perfection Just for a love We used to know So many tears ago
Our fingers touch But not our hearts Living with you Is like being apart
Our love needed A hand years ago When the dying embers Lost their glow
CHORUS
Our love needed A hand years ago When the dying embers Lost their glow Let’s end this façade And move on
CHORUS

Heartburnby Sandy Chase
She feels cold burning after every meal Asks the doctor what’s this I feel? She describes the aftertaste Like swallowing mint toothpaste
It’s heartburn from your active baby Don’t let that feeling drive you crazy It’ll go away when your daughter’s born Don’t ya worry, there’s no harm
(Chorus) She reminds herself that this condition Is just a minor imposition She knows that when the pain is over She’ll still have a loving daughter This condition doesn’t have a prayer When love a mother-daughter share
The doctor’s right, it disappears And stays away for many years Until her child’s adolescence When heartburn returns with a vengeance
With every fight, with every curse Mom feels stomach acid churn Now she wonders, as before Will it stop and hurt no more
Chorus
The churning does subside When her daughter becomes a bride And it slowly disappears When her grandchild’s birth is near
Years later a mom-to-be Feels that same burning feeling But that condition doesn’t have a prayer When heartburn a mother-daughter share
Chorus

A New Year To Rememberby Sandy Chase
Your picture’s in my hands And tears are in my eyes How can I be so blessed Only God above knows why
Your picture is blurry It’s hard for me to see My heart helps me focus I see you perfectly
(Chorus) This is a year to remember Our lives will change forever I can picture our life together Daddy, you, and me
You have your daddy’s hands Is your thumb in your mouth You’re so beautiful Of that there is no doubt
Just three months to go And you’ll be here with me But can I wait that long Till the end of your journey
Chorus
Hurry up Little One I long for your embrace Until that special day When I can see your face
Chorus

Forever Just Endedby Sandy Chase
Forever just ended Way before its time It’s only a shadow that’s Stalking my mind
Its memory haunts me A ghost from my past Forever has died I thought it would last
(Chorus) Do I mourn its loss Do I go on with my life Do I bury dead promisesThat still cut like a knife Do I smile through the hurt And cover up all the lies
My heart really believed Our love would not die But all that you left me Is pain deep inside
Forever 's more than a word It's a bond for all time But you broke that seal When you let love die
Chorus

The Best of Both Worlds by Sandy Chase
Diamond earrings, Satin and lace Saturday night’s, Picture of grace Next day it’s leather stained with oil Cruisin’ her Harley, Manicure’s spoiled
City, country, She’s right at home With Pavarotti or George Jones Beethoven, Chopin, The ¾ beat George Strait brings her Right to her feet
(Chorus) Corn dogs, caviar Stetson hats and pearls She’s lassoed my heart My Nashville-New York girl I got the best of both worlds
Drinks champagne at restaurants Long necks at honky tonks She has beer taste on our champagne budget She lives in both worlds and I love it
Floor-length gowns and black ties Or pig races with French fries At NASCAR races she’ll yell loud With the rest of the redneck crowd
Chorus
Shops for trinkets at Tiffany’s Wal-Mart sells just what she needs Sam’s Club, Country clubs Both worlds is what she loves

Global Warmingby Leon Newton
I heard Mother Earth crying and complaining About the neglect of global warming She said, men have no regard for the earth We can all enjoy her treasures, with appreciation Why don’t men protect the earth from global warming
Some experts say, don’t worry things are just fine We need to study more, we’ve got plenty of time Global warming is only an illusion It’s only an illusion, ‘till we reach our conclusions Still I hear Mother Earth crying
(Chorus) Global warming’s real because the gases are in the air She pointed to me and asked why, Why don’t men care I heard Mother Earth crying that a sad fact Global warming’s real because we can feel its impact
I heard Mother Earth crying and complaining About the neglect of global warming She said, men have no regard for the earth We can all enjoy her treasures, with appreciation Why don’t men protect the earth from global warming
Chorus
So people get up and take a stand You better do it now, while you still can Global warming’s not an illusion Regardless of the conclusions Let’s all protect the earth from global warming Come on, get up, protect the earth from global warming

But My Baby Loves Me by Matt David Lamb
Woke to this warning, My coldest morning My baby looked into my eyes He said I’m sorry, Babe I’m so sorry This is something I just can’t hide Inside I’ve been drifting, Can no longer live with This bed I’ve turned into lies, It’s so hard to believe this But my love closed behind your doors and dies
Try to believe in, Always believe in My last words as I say good-bye Remember always, I’ll love you always I’m just not in love with you any more Yes I’ll always love you, I’ll always love you Of this you can be sure I’m just not in love with you any more
But my baby loves me, He’ll always love me He’s just not in love any more It hurts to believe in, So hard to believe in A love that’s closed off all your doors But my baby loves me, My baby love me Of this I can be sure He’s just not in love with me any more
He’s got me thinking, I think I’m sinking And I’ve drifted to some distant shore Soon I’ll stop crying, I’ll stop my crying I won’t need that man I held before So don’t help me I’m downing, My smiles turned to frowning Don’t know where true love is no more All his mistakes I’m bearing, feel like old clothes I’m wearing They cover all I used to know
Hard to believe in, My baby’s leaving He left my heart six feet below Remember always, I’ll love you always Although you’re not in love with me any more So help me I will always love you Of this I can be sure Although you’re not in love with me any more Although you’re not in love with me any more

Homeland Kentuckyby Matt David Lamb
I was on the road for such a long time Went driving through that lost state of mine My Homeland Kentucky A farm boy in love in a tobacco field In my sweat I dreamed of the love I would yield In Kentucky
Just another Sunday afternoon The sun wasn’t shinning, Bur she was in full bloom Told her all about her beauty, then I told a few lies Like I would always love her, and never say goodbye
(Chorus) Oh Kentucky, My Kentucky home Where the thoroughbreds run and the wild cats roam And all the girls my Lord, they all look so fine In that state of mine Oh I’m in a blue grass state of mind I see those rolling hills that I left behind And all the good folks there, they all took their time In that state of mine
Talked her into skipping school with just a little charm And we left with the eight 0 five alarm Mercer County Kentucky Walking through the fields, found an abandoned barn I was hoping just to get to hold her in my arms That field in Kentucky
I was just sixteen, didn’t know a thing But the sight of her made me feel like a man She was seventeen, my childhood dream She said to me, boy you’re gonna get lucky, right here in Kentucky
(Chorus)
It’s the Commonwealth State, I know it’s great She loved me uncommonly well, her dad didn’t feel the same way In those hill of Kentucky When I took her home there was a real loud crash The front door slammed into a shotgun blast Dodging buckshot, running in Kentucky
I snuck around at her window tossing rocks But daddy had her locked up like Fort Knox Sometimes we’d win, sometimes we’d lose We’d pull off the top of an old Jim Bean, And get back on the road and cruise
(Chorus)

Tears To Mother by Connie Peebles
Mom, I wish I still had you here today To tell you how much I’m missing you and your loving ways I have cried so many tears and tried to go on Except all I have now are precious memories
Knowing it will be no other way It hurts even more when things go wrong Because I knew in joy or sorrow To you I could always run
Mom, since you left nothing's been the same I wish you could have seen the new baby I gave her your name You would have been so proud, she reminds me so much of you But my heart still aches and the tears won't stop and the pain remains.
I can still recall what you told me The day your Mother passed away There are no words that can explain this hurting pain
Well, I know now your pain Because I live it with each passing day Mother, I'II see you in heaven, some sweet day.... some sweet day
Mom, I wish I still had you here today To tell you how much I’m missing you and your loving ways I have cried so many tears and tried to go on Except all I have now are precious memories But I’ll see you some sweet day

Please Don’t Tell A Lieby Arthur Sherman
It wasn’t long ago we met We were happy as can be You got what you wanted and You turned so cold toward me (Now you’re living) With another guy (So good-bye baby) This was a good try
So please don’t say you love me Or call me your sweetheart You know you’ve hurt me And you have broke my heart (Cause now you’re living) With another guy (So good-bye baby) This was a good try
(Chorus) Don’t say you love me, Don’t tell a lie Just say you’re sorry for making me cry I never hurt you or caused any harm Why was your love just a great big false alarm
I know you have your problems but I was always by you side You know how much I love you You know how much I care (Why do you keep on) Keep on hurting me (And know it is not) It is not fair
So please don’t say you love me Or call me your sweetheart You know that you’ve hurt me And you have broke my heart (Cause now you’re living) With another guy (So good-bye baby) This was a good try
(Chorus)
Please don’t say you love me Please don’t tell a lie

Quitters Never Win by Harvey Shapiro
The odds are stacked against you Or so it seems that way Success is for the other guy When will it be your day
You give it all you’ve got It’s never quite enough But maybe you can’t help it You ain’t made of sterner stuff
(Chorus) Winners never quit And Quitter never win Get up off the floor And take it on the chin Dig deep into your heart Refuse to give in Start swingin’ back Cause quitters never win
You’ve got to believe in yourself Regardless what others might say Hold on to that dream my friend There’s always another day
Keep your eye on the target Steadfast in your quest Ride out those storms of life And you’ll surely find success

Old Manby Willa Stewart
My daddy left when I was three. It didn’t mean too much to me But Manna couldn’t hide her tears, she cried most every night for years And then I saw him standin’ there. He’d come to tell me, “Son take care”, When I was headin’ off to war, and as I headed out the door – I said
(Chorus) Who asked you to come back old man? I don’t remember you You left your wife and baby son to figure what to do Were things at home too hard to bear? Or did you just want out of there? Why walk in now old man, or were you wonderin’ how I grew
He said I did what I had to do, the day I said goodbye to you Your momma raised a real fine man. I wish I’d given her a hand. But I had a war son too you know, and that’s why I had to go I fought real hard and did my part, ‘til prison camp broke my heart
(Chorus)
I was gone so long song, daddy said Your momma thought I was dead She had to move on with her life And soon was someone else’s wife
I stayed away son, lived alone and watched you get to be full grown You never knew that I was there. I’m sure you thought I didn’t care I never did forget you boy. You always were my pride and joy But now you’re going far away, so I had to come today
I saw the tears in Daddy’s eyes. I guess they took me by surprise And then I knew his heart that day. I heard the truth , I had to say Sit down old man and rest a spell. I’ll watch my back and give ‘em hell Momma said she’d say a prayer, so Daddy tell me what’s out there Sit down old man and rest a spell, then say goodbye and wish me well

My Dozen Roses Never Dieby Matt David Lamb
Don’t know what I’m gonna do The florist of my heart said we’re through I know the seasons in this world Won’t stop the reasons I gave them girl
I paid for them such a price Each one I gave from deep inside You promised to keep them for all time Although you don’t need them, they’ll always be fine ..because
(Chorus) My dozen roses never die Not like the love in your blue eyes A dozen reasons won’t tell why I gave each one with such foolish pride My dozen roses never die My dozen roses, they never die
Some I gave when you were blue Some said I’m sorry, some said I love you Some for no reason I recall A rose to be pleasing was my downfall
It may not be the month of June Still my roses stay in bloom Although some pedals still my fall You don’t have to watch me, cause I’ll catch them all …because
Chorus
I know this always to be true You feed the rose and heart you’re promised to Don’t ever let your roses die There’s not a sad song like that one you’ll cry
If someone’s thorn cuts you in two Hold your roses, find a love that’s new Cause underneath where we all lie A dozen roses gives us one last try…that’s why
Chorus

Does He Know What She Knowsby Matt David Lamb
Their lips meet out in the moonlight Their eyes they, so softly touch All she has, she gives to the twilight Simple desires give way to his lust
She fills this need, somehow it’s all right Her clothes they fall into his broken trust Still she waits alone in the daylight She’s lost in this man she needs so much
(Chorus) But does he know what she knows Oh Oh Oh But does he know what she knows
And now she knows She should have hoped less in her feelings And now she knows All her dreams have wrecked her too And now she knows A heart ripped apart by empty scheming And now she knows How hard it is to face the truth
Oh oh oh But does he know what she knows Oh oh oh But does he know what she knows
Now he sleeps beneath cold covers He’s told his, eyes try not to lie Though he tries, he can’t seem to love her She gave him everything, except his words goodbye
The life they built was broken by his others The love he untied, the truth couldn’t hide Her ending came from his soft and many lovers His heart casts a shadow that makes her cry
Chorus

Who Is Your Fatherby Bernie Bearboy
Is there a man in your everyday Where has he gone and which way Growing up wasn’t easy No father there to please me
The world just seems that much bigger The choices and everything I figure A stranger that means so much My dad, my father if we touch
Giving advice that never seemed wrong You provide as we walk along Dream that you were there Dream a dream that we share Hating to answer, who is your father
(The one who showed and taught her) (Who is your father girl)

My Cry Before Dying by Richard Sponaugle
Only love I ever had Can anyone wonder why I fell so bad, so sad And wipe moisture from my eye Swore I’d put on a brave front And smile as the end got near But she sees it’s all a stunt And senses my endless fear
Cause my cry before dying Comes out in buckets of tears Makes her sigh before crying Why must I lose one so dear Cause my cry before dying comes out in Buckets of tears Makes her sigh before crying Why must I lose one so dear
She’s too young to leave this earth Why can’t it be me instead Only friend I had since birth But now I must shoot her dead A dog’s life ends all too quick Euthanasia may end her pain But it’ll leave me heartsick And bring me endless rain
Cause my cry before dying Comes out in buckets of tears Makes her sigh before crying Why must I lose one so dear Cause my cry before dying Comes out in buckets of tears Please angels watch over Seven Protect her for me in heaven
Cause my cry before dying Comes out in buckets of tears My cry before dying My cry before dying
