An Old Love Turned Memory

An Old Love Turned Memory

(George)
I called you today, an accidental mistake
And your name slipped out to some friend
Forgotten old feelings are brand new today
'Cause I'm right back where I've always been.

(Both)
You're just an old love turned memory
Now I seldom see her around
You're just an old love turned memory
But you still turns my world upside down.

--- Instrumental ---

(Tammy)

I went to some places where I knew you'd be
Just to prove our love was over and done
But the moment my eyes meet yours, I knew
My sorrow had only begun.

(Both)
You're just an old love turned memory
Now I seldom see her around
You're just an old love turned memory
But you still turns my world upside down.

But she still turns my world upside down

Angels Don't Fly

Angels Don't Fly

Deep into midnight far from the warm light
Beneath the shadow of a cold crescent moon
I watched her leaving no shouting or screaming
Just the sound of our hearts as they fall out of tune

Angels don't fly they just walk out the door
I know 'cause her footsteps I still hear on my floor
You migh thtink I'm crazy but I know it's true
Angels don't fly they just walk out on you

Now, I'm lost in my memories and smoky nights bring me

As close to the truth as any man should ever be
Seems the love that I gave her could never quite save her
From a wild, restless heart that just had to be free

Angels don't fly they just walk out the door
I know 'cause her footsteps I still hear on my floor
You might think I"m crazy but I know it's true
Angels don't fly they just walk out on you

Angels don't fly they just walk out on you...

Antique In My Closet

Antique In My Closet

It's true some gray has touched the treasure
Of the golden hair that you once called my crown
And now when people ask what happened
He winks at younger girls and tell the town.

She's just an antique in my closet
Her hair is gray, she needs a rocking chair
She just an antiques in my closet
She's past her prime and I no longer care.

--- Instrumental ---


I gave my best years to my darlin'
And through the years I loved him more each day
But now my life has been forsaken
For through an open door I heard him say.

She's just an antique in my closet
Her hair is grey, she needs a rocking chair
She just an antiques in my closet
She's past her prime and I no longer care...

Any Old Time

Any Old Time

Any old time you want to come back home
Drop me a line I'm lonesome since you're gone
I had my chance I played the game unfair
But when you left me sweetheart
I never thought I'd really care.

Now that you're gone I don't know what to do
Won't you please come back I'm still in love with you
You'll find me here like the day you left me alone
Any old time you want to come back home.

--- Instrumental ---

You'll find me here like the day you left me alone
Any old time you want to come back home...

Apartment No.9

Apartment No.9

Just follow the stairway to this lonely world of mine
You'll find me waiting here in Apartment No 9
Not so very long ago you walked away from me
And after all the plans we made you decided to be free
Loneliness surrounds me without your arms around me
And the sun will never shine in Apartment No 9
[ piano - steel ]
I'll keep waitin' in this lonely room just in case you'd change your mind
You'll find me waiting here in Apartment No 9
Loneliness surrounds me...
No the sun will never shine in Apartment No 9

Around Here

Around Here

Well, I couldn't help but overhear you talkin' to Mary Lou
And when she shot you down I knew that something was wrong with you
You're leaving Mississippi and your fast talking just won't go
If you wanna win her love you gotta take it nice and slow.

You gotta say yes ma'am, no ma'am, treat her like a lady
And open up the door for her take a little time
Well, get to know her better before you can try to hold her near
Be polite, ask her just right, if you want to get lucky on a Saturday night
'Cause that's the thing to do, around here.

--- Instrumental ---

Now I hate to tell you buddy but you're going about this all wrong
Go trade your suit to jeans and boots and put an old Stettson on
Give a little wink and a smile when you tip your hat
And you're only a few steps away from a girl like that.

You gotta say yes ma'am, no ma'am, treat her like a lady
And open up the door for her take a little time
Well, get to know her better before you can try to hold her near
Be polite, ask her just right, if you want to get lucky on a Saturday night
'Cause that's the thing to do, around here.

--- Instrumental ---

Now if I was up in New York city
I hope you do the same for me
So listen up friend I'll tell you again
You're down here where we say.

Yes ma'am, no ma'am, treat her like a lady
And open up the door for her take a little time
Well, get to know her better before you can try to hold her near
Be polite, ask her just right, if you want to get lucky on a Saturday night
'Cause that's the thing to do, around here...

As Of Now

As Of Now

As of now I'm starting my life over
You're gonna see a great change in me
Those dark clouds overhead are hangin' by a thread
And soon they'll break and fall, just wait and see.

As of now I'm looking for a new love
One I can always depend upon
Remember what I say I'll have a better day
Like the ones I had before you came along.

As of now I'm gaining back my pride
Soon I'll have a new love by my side
One I can rely on to be true
And hope he don't turn out to be like you...

--- Instrumental ---

As of now I'm gonna be a new girl

You'll see a change in me ole lover boy
And you won't know me then you'll just remember when
You used me in a game just like a toy.

As of now I'm stopping all my weepin'
I'm tired of feelin' sorry for myself
It's time I had some fun, it's over and it's done
Now I'll go celebrate because you left.

As of now I'm gaining back my pride
Soon I'll have a new love by my side
One I can rely on to be true
And hope he don't turn out to be like you.

And hope he don't turn out to be like you.

Baby You've Got What It Takes

Baby You've Got What It Takes

Well it takes more than a robin to make the winter go
And it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow
Well it takes two hearts a cookin' to make a fire grow
And baby you've got what it takes
You know it takes a lot of kissin' to make a romance bloom
Yeah yeah it takes a lot of lovin' to make my life complete
Yeah it takes a lot of woman to knock me off of my feet
And baby you've got what it takes
Yeah I said mm mm mm ah ah mm mm mm
You know honey you've got just what it takes

It takes more than an effort to stay away from you
And it'd take more than a lifetime yeah to prove that I'll be true
Well it takes somebody special to make me say I do
And baby you've got what it takes
C'mon now ah ah mm mm mm ah ah mm mm mm
You know honey you've got just what it takes
Because it takes more than an effort...
And baby you've got what it takes

Back Down To Hung Up On You

Back Down To Hung Up On You

Oh I've come to the point where I've had one too many
And one short of having too few
Oh my bottle of freedom is one drink from empty
And I'm back down to hung up on you
I come here to escape and some say too often
But not as much as I would like to
Cause as high as I get is how low I'll be fallin'
Oh back down to hung up on you
Feeling nothing at all for awhile sure feels better
Than the hurtin' you're puttin' me through
But as sure as I am of the sunrise tomorrow
I'll be back down to hung up on you
[ steel ]
Feeling nothing at all...
Yes as sure as I am of the sunrise tomorrow
I'll be back down to hung up on you

Back In My Baby's Arms Again

Back In My Baby's Arms Again

The honey bees are gonna be hummin'
Guitar strings are gonna be strummin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
Happy wheels are gonna be turnin'
Flames of love are gonna be burnin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again

(Chorus)
No more tears are gonna be fallin'
I done heard my true love callin'
Open arms are waitin' yonder 'round the bend
Rivers of honey are gonna be flowin'
Big sweet flowers are gonna be growin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again

The voice of love is gonna be talkin'
Hand in hand we're gonna be walkin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
Big ol' swings are gonna be swingin'
Water springs are gonna be springin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh, honey
Back in my baby's arms again
