Have you ever heard a love song that you didn't understand
Well you've met her in a teahouse on the Island of Japan And have you ever traveled over a many thousand miles To see a pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style They read it in the Tea Leaves and it's written in the sand I found love by the heartful in the foreign distant land Tell the homefolks that I'm happy with someone that's true I know I love a pretty Geisha girl where the ocean breezes blow I have stood and watched the sunrise from the waters of the sea And wondered how much beauty in this whole world can there be My dreams are all worth dreaming and it makes my life worth while To see my pretty Geisha girl dressed in Oriental style They read it in the Tea Leaves... |

(Living alone living alone)
I may be wealthy with more than my share I may be able to go anywhere I may own a kingdom and sit on a throne still I'll be lonely while I'm livin' alone I can follow the bright lights keep a smile on my face I can travel this whole world but not get any place I need you near me to stick by my side Please give me true love and don't shatter my pride If you should leave me all the dreams I have known Will never come true while I'm livin' alone I need you near me... |

Send me the pillow that you dream on don't you know that I still care for you
Send me the pillow that you dream on so darling I can dream on it too Each night while I'm sleeping oh so lonely I share your love in dreams that once were true Send me the pillow that you dream on so darling I can dream on it too Send me the pillow that you dream on maybe time will let our dreams come true Send me the pillow that you dream on so darling I can dream on it too I've waited so long for you to write me but just a mem'ry's all that's left of you Send me the pillow that you dream on so darling I can dream on it too So darling I can dream on it too |

I have sailed the peaceful water salty ocean deep and blue
Felt the rapture of the dawning thrilled through sunset's golden view I've sought above the mountain peeks for valleys great and wide But it's a little more like heaven by your side It's a little more like heaven where you are I have sought for happiness both near and far But my search for love was through the day that I met you Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are I have watched the crystal raindrops fall to earth to cool the day Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds have flown away I've adored the clinging roses round my mountain home so dear But it's a little more like heaven when you're near It's a little more like heaven... I've been tempted for a moment by your lure and magic charms Of a fickle flame and beauty while waltzin' in her arms I cherrished mem'ries of the past of friends so kind and true But it's a little more like heaven here with you It's a little more like heaven... |

Please help me I'm falling in love with you
Close the door to temptation don't let me walk through Turn away from me darling I'm begging you to Please help me I'm falling in love with you I belong to another whose arms have grown cold But I promised forever to have and to hold I can never be free dear but when I'm with you I know that I'm losing the will to be true Please help me I'm falling and that would be sin Close the door to temptation don't let me walk in For I mustn't want you but darling I do please help me I'm falling in love with you Please help me I'm falling in love with you |

The love that I've waited and longed for is here in my arms at last
But she doesn't know all about me I'm just one step ahead of my past Now I'm walking the old straight and narrow but yesterday's coming up fast Cause you can't keep people from talking I'm just one step ahead of my past Cause when I played at love I made my mistakes where everyone could see Now I'm wondering if she'll understand is always haunting me Will the news break the heart of my darling And close the door to my future at last Till the day she knows all about me I'm one step ahead of my past |

(From here to there to you)
From here to there to you my letter is on its way To tell you how I miss you ever since you sailed away To tell you things are not the same when I'm so far from you I'm sending all my love from here to there to you From here to there to you and that's oh so far away Across this little painted map from here to there to you I wish that I could go myself across this ocean of blue Along with my love letter from here to there to you From here to there to you... |

Today has been my birthday and tonight I should be glad
But you weren't here to share it and inside I've hurt so bad I didn't want your presence just your kiss and company And your lips to softly whisper happy birthday to me But I came home all by myself and lit the candle Made a wish for you and love that used to be I unwrapped the tiny package that I bought myself Then I sang happy birthday to me I thought for sure you sent me at least a birthday card But the postman didn't even stop when he passed by my yard You could have telephone and ease a lot of misery Instead I called myself and said happy birthday to me And I came home all by myself... |

I was roaming round in Nashville in the state of Tennessee
For I love that country music it's as soulful as can be I have gathered their the records for I cherished every name So I found myself a standing in the Country Hall of Fame My heart beat somewhat faster as I walked in through the door For I heard the sound of voices I had often heard before A happy kind of sadness brought a teardrop to my eye Now I'll tell you what I saw there and I'm sure that you'll see why Jimmie Rodgers' railroad lantern and his faithful old guitar I could hear that old blue yodel coming from somewhere afar Roy Acuff in bronze likeness with that great Fred Rose his friend And I heard that Wabash Cannonball somewhere around the bend The guitar of Eddy Arnold memories of Cattle Call Chet Atkins will be with him when the work's all done this fall From the autoharp of Maybelle Wildwood Flower seems to ring Riley Puckett and Gid Tanner how they all could pick and sing I could hear George Hay announcin' as I stood there in the room I could hear Tex Ritter singing his classic song High Noon Minnie Pearl so glad to be there and Hank Snow keeps Movin' On May the Lord bless those still living and the ones who's joined his throne Cowboy Copas Hankshaw Hawkins Gentleman Jim and Patsy Cline Rod Bradsfield Ira Louvin these stars will always shine Ernest Tubb and great Red Foley and Hank Williams bless his name Though some are gone they'll live forever in the Country Hall of Fame |

Oh Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side The summer's gone and all the roses falling it's you it's you must go and I must bide But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valleys hushed and white with snow Yes I'll be here in sunshine or in shadows oh Danny boy oh Danny Boy I love you so But come ye back... |

Met a girl I loved in a town way down in Dixie
Neath the stars above she was the sweetest girl I ever did see So I took her in my arms and told her of her many charms And kissed her while the organ played the Bonaparte's Retreat All the world was bright as I held her on that night And I heard her say please don't ever go away So I held her in my arms... So I held her in my arms... So I held her in my arms... |
