"Love Takes A Long Time To Die"

"Love Takes A Long Time To Die"


It's not over when you stop crying
And it's the end when you say goodbye
And it's not finally done when you just walk away from someone
'Cause love takes a long time, it takes such a long time to die.

There'll be times when you're alone, you'll softly speak her name
Each one's just about left you one time
Day-dreaming through the glass, you'll see pictures from the past
'Cause love takes a long time, it takes such a long time to die.

It's so hard to shut the door
When mem'ries won't stay behind
They'll come around to remind you
There's love still locked inside.

It's not over when you stop crying
And it's the end when you say goodbye
And it's not finally done when you just walk away from someone
'Cause love takes a long time, it takes such a long time to die...

"Lovers, Friends And Strangers"

"Lovers, Friends And Strangers"


Looking back into the world we knew
When love was such a sweet surprise
Was it beautiful how strangers came to lovers
Like magic right before our eyes.
Strangers become friends and friends become lovers
But the same fire that warms the heart can burn
Then it's lovers, friends, strangers again
Ain't it funny how the circle turns.
And looking back I'd do it all again
Although the story's sad but true
Even lovers can be strangers once again
Stranger still I keep on loving you.
Strangers become friends and friends become lovers
But the same fire that warms the heart can burn
Then it's lovers, friends, strangers again
Ain't it funny how the circle turns.
Ain't it funny how the circle turns...

"Lovesick Blues"

"Lovesick Blues"


I got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord, since my baby's said goodbye
Oh, I don't know what I'll do all I do is sit and cry, oh Lord
That last long day she said goodbye, oh Lord, I thought I'd cry
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kinda lovin'
Lord, I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream, I hate to think it all over
I've lost my heart it seems I've grown so used to you somehow
Lord I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
I'm lonesome, I got the lovesick blues.
Well, I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal but she don't care about me
Lord, I tried and tried just to keep her satisfied but she just wouldn't stay
But now that she is leaving here's all I can say.
I got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord, since my baby's said goodbye
Oh, I don't know what I'll do, I've lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you, somehow Lord, I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
I'm lonesome I got the lovesick blues.
I've grown so used to you, somehow Lord, I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
I'm lonesome, I got the lovesick blues.
And I'm lonesome, I got the lovesick blues
Girl, I'm lonesome cause I got the lovesick blues...

"Make Believe Medley"

"Make Believe Medley"


The game of "just supposing" is the sweetest game I know,
Our dreams are more romantic than the world we see.
And if the things we dream about don't happen to be so,
That's just an unimportant technicality...

We could make believe I love you,
Only make believe that you love me.
Others find peace of mind in pretending,
Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss, or two, or three?
Might as well make believe I love you,
For to tell the truth, I do.
Your pardon I pray, 'twas too much to say,
The words that betray my heart.
We only pretend, you do not offend,
In playing a lover's part.
Though the cold and brutal fact is you and I have never met,
We need not mind convention's P's and Q's,
If we put our thoughts in practice we can banish all regret
Imagining most anything we choose...

We could make believe I love you,
Only make believe that you love me.
Others find peace of mind in pretending,
Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss or two, or three?
Might as well make believe I love you,
For to tell the truth, I do.

"Make No Mistake, She's Mine"

"Make No Mistake, She's Mine"


Don't call her up anymore
Cause I don't wanna hear your voice
I don't wanna see your face answer her door
Make no mistake, she's mine...she's mine
She only knows how I feel
I only know what she's like when she needs me
Oh, how she needs me..deep in the night
Make no mistake, she's mine..she's mine..no she's mine

Don't get too close when you dance
Cause I don't wanna hear from my friends
You were out on the town
With her in your arms, with her in your arms..her in your arms

Don't include her in your dreams
I don't wanna close my eyes..no
I don't wanna know where she goes
Each night when she leaves me
Make no mistake ,make no mistake... she's mine,, she's mine..no she's mine

Don't call her up anymore
No don't call her up anymore
Don't call her up

"My Baby"

"My Baby"


Well, now my babe don't stand no cheating, my babe
Well, my babe don't stand no cheating, my baby
You know, my babe don't stand no cheating.
She don't, she don't, she don't, oh, God.
My babe, I know she loves me, my babe
Well, my babe, I know she loves me, my babe
Yeah now, my baby, I know she loves me, my babe
Well, my babe, I know she loves me.
She don't do nothing but kiss and hug me
My babe, I know she loves me, my babe
Talking 'bout my babe
Talking about my babe...

"My Funny Valentine"

"My Funny Valentine"


Behold the way our fine feathered friend,
His virtue doth parade Thou knowest not, my dim-witted friend
The picture thou hast made Thy vacant brow, and thy tousled hair
Conceal thy good intent Thou noble upright truthful sincere,
And slightly dopey gent
You're my funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable,
Yet, you're my favorite work of art.
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me.
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me.
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day

"My Heart"

"My Heart"


I'll take a long vacation
I need a change of scenery
I'll see the sights; go out at night
There'll be no time for your memory
I'll get a new apartment
Make friends that don't know who you are
'Cause when I'm through, I'm really through
If I can just convince my heart
Oh, but my heart, says I'm not so smart
My heart tears my plans apart
My heart won't admit we're through
'Cause my heart; oh, my heart still belongs to you
I'll call some old phone numbers
And I'll throw a party for a star
I've made a vow, it's all over now
If I can just convince my heart
Oh, but my heart, says I'm not so smart
My hear tears my plans apart
My heart won't admit we're through
'Cause my heart; oh my heart still belongs to you
Oh, but my heart, says I'm not so smart
My hear tears my plans apart
Oh, my heart won't admit we're through
'Cause my heart; oh my heart still belongs to you

"Nashville Moon"

"Nashville Moon"


Music City U.S.A. some dreams broken, some dreams made
Oh, we see it all here, hearts in and out of tune
Another night I don't know where you are but here I am with all the stars
Hanging heartaches out on the Nashville moon.

Hank Williams told my story back in 1952
Somehow he saw the future your love has put me through
This town full of rainbows singing the blues.
And hanging heartaches out on the Nashville moon.

They say there's magic down on Music Row, songs turn gold on the radio
One day you're hungry the next it's silver spoons
This town moves at the speed of light and it all changes overnight
I'm hanging heartaches out on the Nashville moon.

Hank Williams told my story back in 1952
Somehow he saw the future your love has put me through
This town full of rainbows singing the blues
And hanging heartaches out on the Nashville moon.

I'm hanging heartaches out on the Nashville moon...

"No One Will Ever Know"

"No One Will Ever Know"


No one will ever know my heart is breaking
Although a million teardrops start to fall
I cry myself to sleep and wake up smiling
I'll miss you but no one will ever know.

I'll tell them we grew tired of each other
And realized our dreams could never be
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me.

No one will ever know how much I'm pining
As the past comes back to haunt me so
No one will ever see the tears I'm hiding
You've hurt me but no one will ever know.

I'll tell them we grew tired of each other
And realized our dreams could never be
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me...
