I'm Only Losin' Everything I Threw Away

I'm Only Losin' Everything I Threw Away

Mornin' lonely mornin' I feel so lonesome raindrops fallin' down
Leavin' Lord she's leavin' she bought a oneway Greyhound ticket from this town
Takin' she's been takin' she's been a long time takin' all of my hurtin' away
Losin' I'm only losin' I'm only losin' everything I threw away
I'm only losin' someone special who never made me cry
That warm and tender someone who's lips just said goodbye
I'm only losin' my tomorrow my today and yesterday

I'm only losin' everything I threw away

Beggin' Lord I'm beggin' askin' her please take me back again
Cryin' Lord now she's cryin' but with tearfull eyes she slowly shakes her head
Footsteps her fading footstep walking out the door now I'm alone
Dawnin' for me it's dawnin' this time she's not foolin' she's gone
I'm only losin' someone special...
I'm only losin' everything I threw away

I'm So Afraid Of Losing You Again

I'm So Afraid Of Losing You Again

Sometimes I want to throw my arms around you
Then I tremble at the thought of giving in
Because I know how much it costs to love you
And I'm so afraid of losing you again

Being close to you revives the sorrow
That wakes me up and tells me, I can't win
I'd love to wake up in your arms tomorrow
But I'm so afraid of losing you again


If heaven were to hear my heart's confessions
Wanting you would be my greatest sin
But I'm glad that you're no longer my possession
'Cause I'm so afraid of losing you again

Being close to you revives the sorrow
That wakes me up and tells me, I can't win
I'd love to wake up in your arms tomorrow
But I'm so afraid of losing you again
But I'm so afraid of losing you again

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill, he sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low, I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long when time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry

Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die
That means he's lost the will to live, I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are, I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've Got A Woman To Lean On

I've Got A Woman To Lean On

(I've got a woman to lean on)
I've seen times there was no way the sun could ever shine
And I've seen me so completely down and I count up every time
But I've got me something special that keeps me going strong
When life gets rough hmm hmm I've got a woman to lean on
I've got a woman to lean on when I need her she stands by
She's a lovin' flowin' fountain the stream that never will run dry
She's a lady and she's a mother I think of which some kinda lover
Hmm hmm I've got a woman to lean on
I can't buy her the things I'd like but I don't hear her complain
If I needed water to save my life I think she could make it rain
And it's just a fact of livin' that sometimes things go wrong
But I don't worry hmm hmm I've got a woman to lean on
I've got a woman to lean on...
Hmm I've got a woman to lean on

I've Just Found Another Reason For Loving You

I've Just Found Another Reason For Loving You

Somehow you know just what it takes to please me
Sometimes I think that you can read my mind
And when the weigh of the world is on my shoulders
You're there to share my burdens everytime
If I could count the reasons why I love you
I'm sure there would be a million or two
And it'll curse to me that I can't live without you
And I've just found another reason for loving you

[ piano ]
I always start my days with lots of sunshine
It's in your smile and in your morning kiss
And more than once I've asked myself the question
How could any man ask for more than this
If I could count the reasons...
And I've just found another reason for loving you

If She Just Helps Me Get Over You

If She Just Helps Me Get Over You

It may not make me tremble the soft touch of her hand
But she won't break my heart the way you do
So I'm gonna try to give her the best love that I can
If she just helps me get over you
If she just picks me up when I get down
If she's there when the mem'ries walk around
Maybe someday I'll love her as much as I love you
If she just helps me get over you mhm mhm
[ steel ]
I don't suppose that loving will ever be the same
But she wants me the way I wanted you
So I'm gonna try to give her the best love that I can
If she just helps me get over you
If she just picks me up...

If You Should Come Back Today

If You Should Come Back Today

You'd stop at hundred and forty tears I forget the lonely years
I know I've been lost for words to say
I know my lonely heart would go wild you can bet I'd have to smile
If you should come back today
If you should come back I wonder what I'd act like
I wonder what I'd do I wonder what I'd say
I know that I do more than stand and smile while my crazy arms went wild
If you should come back today
[ steel ]
I've done a lotta lonely midnight walkin' and some crazy senseless talkin'
I've missed you every kind of way
I know I surely lose control like a love that's in my soul if you should come back today
If you should come back...
If you should come back today

If You'd Have Only Taken The Time

If You'd Have Only Taken The Time

If you'd have only taken the time to tell me you're mine and say that you love me
I may not have been too eager then to tell you goodbye
But I made up my mind for sure this time that I'm gonna leave you
So next time don't wait don't hesitate appreciate the good man

I don't belong so I'll just move along it's better this way
A man should walk tall but you made me feel small and that's why I say
If you'd have only taken the time...
But I made up my mind...
But I made up my mind...

Image Of Me

Image Of Me

Yes I know she's the life of the party and without her things here would die
Oh but don't be fooled by her laugter she has her sad times she knows how to cry
She drinks and she talks just a little too loud
And with her pride gone she tags along with any old crowd
Yes I know I'm to blame and I feel so ashamed that I made her the image of me

[ guitar - steel ]
I met her in a little country town she was simple and old fashion in some way
But she loved me till I dragged her down then she just gave up and drifted away
She drinks and she talks...
That I made her the image of me

In My World You Don't Belong

In My World You Don't Belong

Yesterday you smiled and my world stopped its turning
All the love in your eyes was so strong
From my first hello to last night's bitter tears
And darling I have loved you though in my world you don't belong
Do you remember that first night when I told you I'm not free
And the way we tried so hard not to fall
But somehow time and fate had brought our lives together
And darling I have loved you though in my world you don't belong
[ steel ]
Do you remember...
Yes darling I will love you though in my world you don't belong
