"Don't Ever Tell Me Goodbye"

"Don't Ever Tell Me Goodbye"



Hurt me as much as you want to
If tears make you happy, then I'll cry
Do anything that you want to
But don't ever tell me goodbye.

Break my heart if that brings pleasure
And take the twinkle from my eyes
Do anything that you want to
But don't ever tell me goodbye.

Don't tell me goodbye whatever you do
For I just couldn't live if I ever lost you.

Tell our friends that it's all over
Say that the fault was all mine
Do anything that you want to
But don't ever tell me goodbye.

Oh, don't ever tell me goodbye...

"Don't Let Her Know"

"Don't Let Her Know"


Lips, make a smile on my face
Eyes don't let her see you shed a tear
Heart don't let her hear you skip a beat
And pride don't let her know how much I care
Don't let her know
Don't let her know how much I care

[Instrumental]

Laugh, dance and sing so she won't notice
The hurt that's still burning deep inside
And don't let her see the way I tremble
Don't let her know how much I cry.
Don't let her know
Don't let her know how much I cry...

"Don't Let True Love Slip Away"

"Don't Let True Love Slip Away"



Who's gonna love you after I've gone away
Who's gonna kiss the lips that I kissed today
Who's gonna hold you when you're old and gray
Oh, don't let true love slip away.

For once in a lifetime true love comes along
And hold it gently, don't let it go wrong
Treat it with kindness or soon it will fade
Oh, don't let true love slip away.

For true love is something that money can't buy
So don't take it lightly, true love's the stuff of life
You'll travel forever down life's lost highway
If you let true love slip away
So don't let true love slip away...

"Don't Wipe The Tears That You Cry"

"Don't Wipe The Tears That You Cry"



When you're holdin' me, make sure that I'm the one to hold
Don't tell me that you love me it leaves me so cold
And please don't lie to me you know how that hurt
Don't wipe the tears that you cry for him on my good white shirt

When you're kissin' me, make sure that I'm the one you wanna kiss
Don't tell me that you miss me when it's him you really miss
And please me and think of him nothing could be worse
Don't wipe the tears that you cry for him on my good white shirt

Well, I dress my very best when I go out with of you
But I'd hate to think that I was just too well dressed blue
Don't love me for a little while what would that be worth
Don't wipe the tears that you cry for him on my good white shirt

Well, I dress my very best when I go out with you
But I'd hate to think that I was just too well dressed blue
Don't love me for a little while what would that be worth
Don't wipe the tears that you cry for him on my good white shirt

Don't wipe the tears that you cry for him on my good white shirt

"Down On The Corner Of Love"

"Down On The Corner Of Love"



You'll find me hangin' around
It's there I'll be found
Down on the corner of love
Beneath the stars that shine
And the neon signs
I'll be down on the corner of love

When night starts to fall
And love starts to call
Down on the corner of love
You'll find me hangin' around
It's there I'll be found
Down on the corner of love

When it's late in the eve'nins
And I can't help but feelin'
That my heart you're a steelin'
'Neath the stars up above
When the sun goes down
And the moon comes 'round
I'll be down on the corner of love

When you're passin' by
Too lonesome to cry
Down on the corner of love
Just stop for a while
I'll teach you to smile
Down on the corner of love

A love that you had
Has treated you bad
Down on the corner of love
Forget what you knew
We'll start live anew
Down on the corner of love

When it's late in the eve'nins
And I can't help but feelin'
That my heart you're a steelin'
'Neath the stars up above
When the sun goes down
And the moon comes 'round
I'll be down on the corner of love

When it's late in the eve'nins
And I can't help but feelin'
That my heart you're a steelin'
'Neath the stars up above
When the sun goes down
And the moon comes 'round
I'll be down on the corner of love...

"Down To The River"

"Down To The River"



I'm a-going down, down, down to the river
And there ain't nobody gonna have to hold my hand
I'm a-going down, down, down to the river
Gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand

You said goodbye to me this morning
And slowly walked out of my life
I don't know how I'll live without you
I only know I've gotta try

I'm a-going down, down, down to the river
And there ain't nobody gonna have to hold my hand
I'm a-going down, down, down to the river
Gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand

The telephone has started ringing
Friends call to see if it is true
I don't know words to say it's over
I only know that I love you

I'm a-going down, down, down to the river
And there ain't nobody gonna have to hold my hand
I'm a-going down, down, down to the river
Gonna bury my troubles in the river bottom sand

"Down, Down, Down"

"Down, Down, Down"


I'm goin' down, down, down,
Goin' down, down, down
Got nobody to love me now
I'm a sorrow bound bound bound
'Cause you're not around
Since you left I'm a goin'
Down, down, down.

Well I never thought my life would be so lonely
I never thought my head would hang so low
Well I love you my darling and you only
Don't know where you are but that's where I'd like to go.

I'm goin' down, down, down,
Goin' down, down, down
Got nobody to love me now
I'm a sorrow bound bound bound
'Cause you're not around
Since you left I'm a goin'
Down, down, down.

[Instrumental]

Well, quarrels so many was your reason
Could it be you never gave us time
For in your heart you desire a new one
If so then your heart is not with mine.

I'm goin' down, down, down,
Goin' down, down, down
Got nobody to love me now
I'm a sorrow bound bound bound
'Cause you're not around
Since you left I'm a goin'
Down, down, down.

Since you left I'm a goin' down, down, down...

"Dust On Mother's Bible"

"Dust On Mother's Bible"


[Chorus:]
There's dust on mother's bible
Its cover's worn with age
And though it's old and wrinkled
Mama's there on every page

The night the angels called her
Mama called me to her side
And handed me her bible
Said "Son, let God be your guide."

[Chorus:]
There's dust on mother's bible
Its cover's worn with age
And though it's old and wrinkled
Mama's there on every page

[Instrumental]

I picked up mother's old bible
To my heart I pressed it tight
And I heard her softly whisper
"Son, I'll meet you on the other side."

I kissed my mother's old bible
And I wiped away the dust.
Oh, you never know until she's gone
How you'll miss your mother's love

[Chorus:]
There's dust on mother's bible
Its cover's worn with age
And though it's old and wrinkled
Mama's there on every page...

"Eternal Vacation"

"Eternal Vacation"


Some people are taking vacation
Traveling both far and near
Ever stop and think about Jesus
Ever see him to have a care
It seems that I cannot be like them
While on earth life's burdens I bear
And I prepare to meet Jesus
And rest eternally there.

Yes, someday I'll take a vacation
One that never will end
When I'll cross old river Jordan
My Saviour will welcome me in
For me the gates will swing open
And I'll have a mansion within
There I will rest up in heaven
A rest that never will end.

[Instrumental]

Yes, some people own fine mansions
Some live in much luxury
Never having a thought about Saviour
Of where they'll spend eternity
And though I cannot be like them
I'm building my mansion on high
Yes, someday I'll rest up in heaven
And leave this old cruel world, goodbye.

Yes, someday I'll take a vacation
One that never will end
When I'll cross old river Jordan
My Saviour will welcome me in
For me the gates will swing open
And I'll have a mansion within
There I will rest up in heaven
A rest that never will end...

"Everybody Needs Somebody"

"Everybody Needs Somebody"



Everybody loves somebody
Everybody needs somebody
And darling, this somebody
Just needs you.

A lover needs a lover's lane
A flower needs the touch of spring
A new day needs the kiss of morning dew
A snowflake needs the mountain pass
A meadow needs the green, green grass
And darling, this somebody just needs you.

Everybody loves somebody
Everybody needs somebody
And darling, this somebody
Just needs you.

(A teardrop needs a place to fall
A river needs a place to flow
A rainbow needs a sky so big and blue
A heartache needs a memory
A seashore needs a deep blue sea
And darling, this somebody just needs you.)

Everybody loves somebody
Everybody needs somebody
And darling, this somebody
Just needs you...
