A Rose From A Bride's Bouquet

A Rose From A Bride's Bouquet

(It was only a rose from the bride's bouquet.) I went to a wedding one bright summer day The bride was a beauty and the people were gay Alone in a corner I stood till the end For the girl was my sweetheart and the boy my best friend. When the service was over there beside the church door I picked up a rose that fell on the floor Alone and neglected as I was that day Was my sweet little rose from the bride's bouquet. It was only a rose from the bride's bouquet Once filled with loves perfume now faded and grey Like the love that she gave me it faded away This sweet little rose from the bride's bouquet. Each petal reminds me of a moment of bliss A sweet little love word and a lingering kiss I waited in teardrops then hide it away My sweet little rose from the bride's bouquet...

A Thousand Arms

A Thousand Arms

A thousand arms to hold you tight
Five hundreds hours to love you right.

Darling, each and every day I've known you
I fall in love with you a little more
More than just my arms and hours can show you
Maybe that's why I keep wishin' for.

A thousand arms to hold you tight
Five hundreds hours to love you right
A thousand arms to never let you go
Five hundred hours to always love you so.

It seems I just can't do enough things for you
To ever pay you back for lovin' me
I idolize and worship and adore you
Still if I had one wish that wish would be.

A thousand arms to hold you tight
Five hundreds hours to love you right
A thousand arms to never let you go
Five hundred hours to always love you so.

A thousand arms to hold you tight
Five hundreds hours to love you right
A thousand arms to never let you go
Five hundred hours to always love you so...

A Wandering Soul

A Wandering Soul

Oh lend me a hand please Lord and guide me
And help lead me down the road that is right
Oh carry me through these hours of darkness
And show me the path the shining light
I'm a wandering soul I'm lost from my Saviour
A sheep that has strayed so far from the fold
Just tarrying along in the clutch of old Satan
But I'm hoping someday you'll save my soul
Dear Lord please forgive the grief I have caused you
The thoughts of my sins that tortured my soul
Oh help me to know the joy of salvation
Help cleanse my life through and make me whole
I'm a wandering soul...

Accidentally On Purpose

Accidentally On Purpose

In the papers I saw you this morning
You were lovely, dressed in your wedding gown
And it said you would marry a stranger to me
That had drifted into our old home town

Accident'ly, you met him one ev'ning
And you say it was love at first sight
Accident'ly on purpose you're marryin'
Accident'ly on purpose, for spite

For you say that you saw me out painting the town
That I was just a fool with the heart of a clown
Accident'ly, you were mistaken that night
Accident'ly on purpose, for spite

Yes, you say that you saw me out painting the town
That I was just a fool with the heart of a clown
Accident'ly, you were mistaken that night
Accident'ly on purpose, for spite

Aching Breaking Heart

Aching Breaking Heart

Well I have lived a lot and done my part of running round
And never did I think I’d let a sweet love get me down
But now I see how wrong I was, you’re part of every plan
Perhaps I’ll pay but come what may my heart’s at your command

Oh, this aching breaking heart of mine is crazy over you
And I’m afraid to let you know I love you like I do
For if you knew how much I care I know what you would do
You’d drop me like the others and go find somebody new

Last night I saw you darling in the arms of someone new
And I know that you don’t love him, you just want to make me blue
I guess you think that hurting me will make me love you more
But someday from you darling this old heart will lock its door

Oh, this aching breaking heart of mine is crazy over you
And I’m afraid to let you know I love you like I do
For if you knew how much I care I know what you would do
You’d drop me like the others and go find somebody new

Act Naturally

Act Naturally

They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
All I got to do is act naturally.

I bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star
I can play the part so well.

I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
All I got to do is act naturally.

--- Instrumental ---

I hope you come and see me in the movie

And bending down upon my bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
All I have to do is act naturally.

Well, I bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star
I can play the part so well.

I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
All I got to do is act naturally.

Yeah, all I got to do is act naturally...

After Closing Time

After Closing Time

Well you can find me servin' drinks inside a honky tonk
And I'll even play the jukebox on your dime
And sometimes I will dance with you to your favorite song
Yeah but she'll be mine after closin' time
She will smile at all the men and shake her pretty hips
And you can yell and say she look so fine
But I'm not looking for a man I'm looking for their tips
And then she'll be mine after closin' time
When they turn the lights out that's when I'll turn him on
Oh she can serve me love much better than wine
So when they close the doors I guess who takes me home
And she'll be mine after closin' time
[ guitar ]
Tomorrow night I'll still be there inside the honky tonk
And I'll still play the jukebox on your dime
Yeah as long as you keep buyin' drinks she'll smile and lead you on
But she'll be mine after closin' time
When they turn the lights out...
And she'll be mine after closin' time

Ain't It Funny What A Fool Will Do

Ain't It Funny What A Fool Will Do

(Funny what a fool will do)
Here am I without your love again
Oh how many times have you walked out and walked back in
And I cry just like a baby after you
Oh oh it's funny what a fool will do
Here am I with empty arms again
Counting all the times that you walked out and walked back in
Still my heart goes right on wanting you
Oh oh it's funny what a fool will do
Oh oh it's funny what a fool will do

Ain't Love Been Good

Ain't Love Been Good

Ain't love been good to us, ain't it been good
It's given us happiness and we're knockin' on wood
We're livin' in sunshine like we knew that we could
Ain't love been wonderful, oh, ain't it been good.

We walk through life side by side
We found the door to happiness open wide
And folks who gather now right where we stand
And love's been heaven here on earth in every ways.

The world is troubled in many ways
It seems the problem always are here to stay
But we'll keep holdin' on till the very end
And we'll get by no matter what shape the world is in.

Ain't love been good to us, ain't it been good
It's given us happiness and we're knockin' on wood
We're livin' in sunshine like we knew that we could
Ain't love been wonderful, oh, ain't it been good...
