Your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
And try to sleep.

But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you.

When tears come down
Like fallin' rain
You'll toss around
And call my name.

You'll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you.

Your cheatin' heart
Will pine someday
And crave the love
You threw away.

I know that everything must age and things grow old with time
Except the thought of loving you and knowing that you're mine
Your lips stay young and tender just the way they used to be
And because it's you with your love so true you'll never grow old to me.

The leaves turn brown in autumn and sometimes the flowers won't bloom
But in the coldest days of winter you're like a rose that grows in June
You're always warm as the sunshine when I hold you tenderly
And because it's you with your love so true you'll never grow old to me.

And as the world grows old around you I'll look back and see
Because it's you with your love so true you'll never grow old to me.

You'll never grow old to me

The news is out all over town
that you've been seen a runnin' round
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go, you win again.

This heart of mine could never see
What everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do, you win again.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm sorry for your victim now
'Cause soon his head like mine will bow
He'll give his heart but all in vain
And someday say, you win again.

You have no heart you have no shame
You take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still, you win again...

If you think, it's lonesome where you are tonight.
Well you oughta be here with me.
If you think there's heartache where you are tonight.
Then you oughta be here with me.

Chorus:
Because with you I'm whole. Without you I'm cold.
So if you think about me where you are tonight
Then you oughta be here with me.

If teardops are fallin' where you are tonight.
Then you oughta be here with me.
If lonliness calls you where you are tonight.
Then you oughta be here with me.

Chorus:
Because with you I'm whole. Without you I'm cold.
So if you think about me where you are tonight
Then you oughta be here with me.

Recitation:
You know if nobody loves you darlin'
And it's lonely where you are tonight.
Honey, Don't you know you oughta be here with me?
And Here's thinking of you. Ah, whereever you are tonight

But you oughta be here with me.

Chorus:
Because with you I'm whole. Without you I'm cold.
So if you think about me where you are tonight
Then you oughta be here with me.

Darling, You oughta be here with me...

Oh, you said you wes my baby
Now I know that you're my baby
But it seems to me you got rovin' eye
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
You can't keep your finger in two different fire.

I remember how you pleaded
When you told me that you needed
My lovin' I believe it without a doubt
So if you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And you gotta leave 'em kissin' cousins out.

Oh, when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low
I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And be nobody's baby but mine.

--- Instrumental ---

Now I heard there was another
So I went and asked your mother
If anybody hung around 'sides me
She gave me no satisfaction
So now I can't take no action
But I think that I'll just hang around and see.

If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And you gotta come to me and tell me so
If you're gonna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
I'm tired of waitin' round so let me know.

Oh, when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low
I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And be nobody's baby but mine.

You've gotta be nobody's baby but mine...

Well, you tell me that you care
But now you're gone you got me cryin'
No use denyin' you done me wrong
If I could look inside your heart
Maybe I could find the reason
Why you are leavin' me all alone.

Well, you know it's not so when you say
It's not well, you know you lie
I didn't do one wrong thing to you
Won't you tell me baby why
You went and left me here so lonely
I miss only, for I love you.

--- Instrumental ---

Did I ever make you sad so you'd be mad
And love to hurt me
And desert me for so long
Well, you're telling everyone what you done
You think it's funny
Well, listen honey, you done me wrong.

Well you know it's not so when you say
It's not well you know you lie
I didn't do one wrong thing to you
Won't you tell me baby why
You went and left me here so lonely
I miss only, for I love you.

--- Instrumental ---

Well you know it's not so when you say
It's not well you know you lie
I didn't do one wrong thing to you
Won't you tell me baby why
You went and left me here so lonely
I miss only, for I love you.

I know that you wonder who I dream about
And if I met someone who thrills me so
Well, I've finally met a girl who turns me inside out
I'll tell you about her for you ought to know.

You comb her hair every mornin'
And make sure she's dressed just right
You comb her hair every mornin'
And put her to bed everynight.

When she's around me sometimes I can hardly speak
I stammer and I walk right into doors
And just to hold her hand in mine makes me feel weak
Oh, you know her heart is a friend of yours.

You comb her hair every mornin'
And make sure she's dressed just right
You comb her hair every mornin'
And put her to bed everynight...

She was holding back the tears
As I packed up the last few years
And said, "I'm tired of being so tied down"
I'm sure the kids will understand
That daddy's making other plans
I grab my bags and I was freedom bound

And then I saw the writing on the wall
It said, "We love you daddy most of all"
There in purple crayons, scribbled knee high in the hall
I saw the writing on the wall

When the [Incomprehensible] wore off, of being free
Their memories started haunting me
I headed home as fast as I could go
My keys still fit that same ol' door
But no one lived there anymore
And that tender message made my tear drops flow

And then I saw the writing on the wall
It said, "We love you daddy most of all"
There in purple crayons, scribbled knee high in the hall
I saw the writing on the wall, I saw the writing on the wall

You promised me love
That would never die
That promise you've made
Was only a lie.

Now after you've gone
All alone I've pined
For all that I've got
Was a worried mind.

I gave you a ring
I gave you a home
You promised me love
That you'd never wrong.

I bought you fine clothes
And I bought you wine
But all that I got
Was a worried mind.

--- Instrumental ---

And when I was down
You've just left me there
I needed you so
But you didn't care.

You found a new love
And a home so fine
But all that I've got
Is a worried mind...

Today I got a long letter
From one who still cares for me
She asked lots of questions
Like would I call her sometime
And was I gettin' back on my feet
She asked if I had stopped drinkin'
Like I promised her long ago
The words wouldn't come
When I called and she answered
Oh, but I found a way to say no
(Chorus:)
I sent her some wine colored roses
The color of grapes on the vine
When she sees the wine colored roses
They'll tell her I'm still on the wine
The roses will say I still love her
And the color will cause her to cry
One dozen reasons to tell her I'm sorry
And twelve pretty flowers don't lie
(Repeat chorus)

(Written by D. Knutsen and D. Owens)

I was standin' by my window
On one cold, and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away.

Will that circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

I went back home, my home was lonely
For my mother she was gone
All my brothers set to cryin'
For the home so sad and alone.

Undertaker, please undertaker,
Undertaker, please drive slow
For that body you are hauling
Lord, I hates to see her go

Will that circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky...

> Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
Lord, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why
Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You're runnin' wild kickin' up your heels
A-leavin' me home with a hand full of bills
Lord, I can't live without you and you know it's true
But there's no livin' with you so what'll I do
I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I can
And maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry
No, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
Well, now I don't know, but I've heard say
That ever' little dog is a-gonna have his day
You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet
Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then
Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore
When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
Lord, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why

You know this old world is full of singers
But just a few are chosen
To tear your heart out when they sing
Imagine life without them
All your, radio hero's
Like the outlaw that walks through Jesse's dream

No, there will never be another
Red-headed stranger
A Man in Black and Folsom Prison Blues
The Okie from Muskogee
Or Hello Darling
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes

Who's gonna fill their shoes
Who's gonna stand that tall
Who's gonna play the Opry
And the Wabash Cannonball
Who's gonna give their heart and soul
To get to me and you
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes

God bless the boys from Memphis
Blue Suede Shoes and Elvis
Much too soon he left this world in tears
They tore up the Fifties
Old Jerry Lee and Charlie
And old Go Cat Go still echoes through the years

You know the heart of country music
Still beats in Luke the Drifter
You can tell when hew sings I Saw the Light
Old Marty, Hank and Lefty
Why I can feel them right here with me
On this Silver Eagle rolling through the night

Who's gonna fill their shoes
Who's gonna stand that tall
Who's gonna play the Opry
And the Wabash Cannonball
Who's gonna give their heart and soul
To get to me and you
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes

Yes I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes?

You know this old world is full of singers

Well, I thought you'd found your happiness
Right here lovin' me
I thought my life was so complete
But how wrong can one man be.

You were the perfect deceiver
Yes, you knew just what to do
So who will I be loving now
Cause, I won't be lovin' you?

You told me that you loved me
And that you were satisfied
I couldn't see the truth 'cause I
Had love all in my eyes.

And now you've found another
And it tears my heart in two
So who will I be lovin' now
Since I won't be loving you?

So tell me where I'll go now
Tell me what I'll do
Who's lips will I be kissin'
Since I won't be kissin' you?

Well, I feel so lost and helpless
How can I start anew
So who will I be loving now
Since I won't be lovin' you?

So who will I be loving now
Since I won't be lovin' you?

Well, in North Carolina, way back in the hills
Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still
We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down
Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'.

Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin to book him,
But my pappy kept a-cookin'
Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'.

Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightnin' started flashin' and thunder started crashin'
Shhhoooh... white lightnin'.

Well, the G men, T men, revenuers, too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin to book him,
But my pappy kept a-cookin'
Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'.

Well, a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff
He took one s-slug and drank it right down
And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
Whshhhoooh... white lightnin'.

Where does a little tear come from?
Where does a little tear come from?
It comes from a heart that's been broken apart
That's where a little tear comes from.

Where does the broken heart come from?
Where does the broken heart come from?
It comes when you find that you love the roving kind
That's where the broken heart comes from.

Where does the roving kind come from?
Where does the roving kind come from?
From the wild and restless river that wanders on forever
That's where the roving kind comes from.

Where does the restless river come from?
Where does the restless river come from?
It comes from little tears that I shed through the years
That's where the restless river comes from.

Where does a little tear come from?...

(by Don Chapel)

I'll be your when the grass grows over me.

When you left I thought that I would soon get over you
Even told myself that I would find somebody too
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Chorus:
Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold
Cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute of the night I'm hurting through and through
And as long as I live I know I won't be free
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Chorus:
Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold
Cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me...

(Both)
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop wanting you.

(George)
The worst that I've ever been hurt in my life
The first time I ever have wanted to die
Was the night when you told me you loved someone else
And asked me if I could forget.

(Both)
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop thinking you.

(Tammy)
I'd be like a flower unwanted in spring
Alone and neglected, transplanted in vain
To a garden of sadness where it's pedals would fall
In the shadow of undying pain.

(Both)
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you.

(George)
You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
You may take a pebble and teach it to grow
(Both)
You may teach all the raindrops to return to the clouds
But you can't teach my heart to forget.

When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you

What my woman can't do, can't be done

It amazes me how she can change my mind
When it seems to be impossible, she can do it every time
And the way she always loves me, she's got that down perfect too
I keep asking myself what is it the lady can't do?

She brightens any room, she walks inside
And the way she comes in smilin', you'd never think she ever cries
She still looks as young and pretty as she did the day we met
If there is one thing bad about her, I ain't found it yet

What it is my woman can't do, can't be done
If there's ever been a darling, I've got one
She beats all I've ever seen, she's the champion of our team
What my woman can't do, can't be done
What my woman can't do, can't be done

(What my woman can't do, can't be done)

It amazes me how she can change my mind
When it seems to be impossible, she can do it every time
And the way she's always loves me, she's got that down perfect too
I keep asking myself what is it the lady can't do'

She brightens any room she walks inside
And the way she comes in smiling you'd never think she ever cries
She still looks as young and pretty as she did the day we met
If there is one thing bad about her, I ain't found it yet.

What it is my woman can't do, can't be done
If there's ever been a darling, I've got one
She beats all I've ever seen, she's the champion of our team
What my woman can't do, can't be done.

What my woman can't do, can't be done

I have the invitation that you sent me
You wanted me to see you change your name
I couldn't stand to see you wed another
But dear I hope you're happy just the same.

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing now for you and me
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
Those wedding bells will never ring for me.

--- Instrumental ---

I planned a little cottage in the valley
I even brought a little band of gold
I thought someday I'll place it on your finger
But now the future looks so dark and cold.

I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
And while the organ plays I'll love you truly
Please let me pretend that I am there.

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
Ever since the day you set me free
I knew someday that you would wed another
But wedding bells will never ring for me...

I have the invitation that you sent me
You wanted me to see you change your name
I couldn't stand to see you wed another
But dear I hope you're happy just the same.

We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other
Life can be rough
Sometimes it's kind
A real good life
Is hard to find
But the best love
Is the one we've known
And the faith we have between us
Makes it grow
Some love lives
And some love don't
We've got the kind
Of love we want
It brings us happiness
All through the day
And nothin' can ever make
It go away
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other

We know we're right

Filled with love
The way we both want it to be
We're gonna hooooold on

George Jones & Melba Montgomery

We said our goodbyes long ago,
Never thinking we'd miss each other so,
All the memories we can't leave behind,
Oh, we must have been out of our minds.

I thought I loved another, not you,
How foolish, I thought the same, too,
They both turned out to be the wrong kind,
Oh, we (must have been out of our minds.

--- Instrumental ---

Let's forgive and forget the past we've known,
And reap together the wild seeds we've sown,
Surely they can forgive us and find,
That we must have been out of our minds.

I thought I loved another, not you,
How foolish, I thought the same, too,
They both turned out to be the wrong kind,
Oh, we must have been out of our minds.

Yes, we must have been out of our minds.

All my friends told me we'd never make it;
That love, to you, was just a game you played.
And I'll admit at times we had rough goin',
But in each other's arms we loved it away.
And I've been told my love could never hold you;
To tie it down's a price you'd never pay.
And I'll admit there's times when you got restless,
But in each other's arms we loved it away.
Step by step we walked the road together.
Hand in hand, love grew more everyday
When trouble came we held on to each other,
And in each other's arms we loved it away.
And in each other's arms we loved it away.

Well I swear, I didn't see you with your wife's best girlfriend
Drinkin' beer and a dancin' to that western swing
And I didn't see you kiss her and leave that barroom with her
No I didn't see you and I didn't see you and we didn't see a thing

George, I know I didn't hear you tell that blonde that you weren't married, no
I know I didn't see you hidin' your weddin' ring either did I?
And I know I couldn't have heard you call your wife
And tell her that you were working
No, no I didn't see you, I didn't see you and we didn't see a thing

We've got to stick together to keep our stories straight
Now don't forget Ray I was down in Atlanta
Sure you were and I was workin' late
Yeah you know it's always good to see you
George it's good to see you too, yeah
But I didn't see you and I didn't see you and we didn't see a thing

Hey Ray by the way do you leave that hundred bucks you owe me
I don't know what you're talkin' about George
Well I'm sure you recall our bet on last night's football game
No I don't but you know if I had seen you, I certainly would've paid ya
But I didn't see you and I didn't see you and we didn't see a thing

We've got to stick together to keep our stories straight
Don't forget I was down in Atlanta
And don't you forget I was working late
Oh you know it's always good to see you
George it's good to see you too
But I, I didn't see you and I didn't see you and we didn't see a thing
I didn't see you and I didn't see you and we didn't see a thing

If anyone could find the joy
That true love brings a girl and boy
We could, we could, you and I
If anyone could ever say
That their true love was here to stay
We could, we could, you and I
When you're in my arms
I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you
I'm happy anywhere
If anyone could pray each night
And thank the Lord that all is right
We could, we could, you and I
When you're in my arms
I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you
I'm happy anywhere

If anyone could find the joy

When you're in my arms
I know you're happy to be there
And just as long as I'm with you

We can make it

The world is rough but we can make it
'Cause you're my shelter from the storm now
I don't need wine to keep me warm now

No temptation can ever shake our loves foundation
We're strong enough to take it
We can make it

Now we'll say goodbye to stormy weather
Safe within each others arms
We can spend our lives together

Love has found us and now it's chain
Is wrapped all around us and no one can break it
We can make it

Love has found us and now it's chain
Is wrapped all around us and no one can break it
We can make it

We can make it

Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go
Share all my my dreams with me,
I need you so
In life we search and some of us find
I've looked for you a long, long time.

And now that I've found you,
New horizons I see
Come take my hand
And walk through this world with me.

--- Instrumental ---

Come take my hand,
And walk through this world with me...

Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go
Share all my my dreams with me,

In life we search and some of us find
I've looked for you a long, long time.

And now that I've found you,

Come take my hand,
And walk through this world with me...

We always wanted a big two story house
Back when we lived in that little two room shack
We wanted fame and fortune
And we'd live life the way the rich folks do
We knew some how we'd make it, together me and you

With dreams and hopes of things to come
We worked and never stopped
Not much time for you and me
We had to reach the top

We bought that big two story house
And soon became the envy of the town
With all our work behind us
We'd finally settled down

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
Whoa, what splendor
But there's no love about

I've got my story
And I've got mine, too
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

The house is filled with rare antiques
There's marble on the floor
Beauty all around us
Like we've never seen before

There's chandeliers in every room
Imported silks and satin all about
We filled the house with everything
But somehow left love out

Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house
Oh what splendor
But there's no love about

I've got my story
And I've got mine, too
How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always,
Because the sun's gonna shine
In my back door someday.

I'm gonna lay my head
On some lonesome railroad line
And let that 2:19
Pass through my worried mind.

--- Instrumental ---

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
And I've almost lost my mind
Sometimes I feel like livin'
Sometimes I feel like dyin'.

I'm going down to the river
I'm going to buy me a rockin' chair
And if the blues don't leave me
I'm goin' to rock away from here.

--- Instrumental ---

Trouble in mind, I'm blue,
My ole heart is a-beating slow
I never had so much trouble
In my life before.

My good gal she's gone to Sydney
And it sure did grieve my mind
When you see me laughing
I'm just a-trying to keep from cryin'.

Trouble In Mind...

There was a time when I thought of no other,
And we sang our own love's refrain;
Our hearts beat as one as we had our fun,
But time changes everything.

When you left me my poor heart was broken
Our romance seemed all in vain
The dark cloud have gone and there's blue skies again
'Cause, time changes everything.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, time has passed, I've forgot you
Mother nature does wonderful things
I guess that it's true for me and for you
'Cause, time changes everything.

Oh, you can change the name of an old song
Rearrange it and make it swing
I thought nothing could stop me from loving you
But time changes everything.

--- Instrumental ---

So good luck to you, may god bless you
I can't say that we won't love again
You have gone your way and I'll go mine
'Cause, time changes everything...

THIS WANTING YOU
WRITERS BRUCE BURCH, BRUCE COUTON, T. GRAHAM BROWN

[G] I almost wish that I could lose my [C] mind sometime. Then [D7] maybe I'd be free of memories [C] you left be- [G] hind. With every single thought I hate to [C] face the truth. [D7] It's neverending, always there: this [C] wanting [G] you [G] Will I go through my life with only [C] one desire? [D7] Other arms have held me close, but they can't [C] kill the [G] fire. This flame inside my heart has never [C] burned so blue. [D7] It's neverending, always there: this [C] wanting [G] you. [D7] You're in my mind all the time--how [C] long will it [G] last? [F#] Why can't I leave our love in peace? It's buried in the [D7] past. [G] You let go so long ago, but I still [C] can't turn loose. [D7] Oh, it's neverending; it's always there: this [C] wanting [G] you. It's neverending, always there: this wanting you.

Oh, the faucet started
Drippin' in the kitchen
And last night your picture
Fell down from the wall
Today the boss said "Sorry,
I can't use you anymore."
And tonight the light bulb
Went Out in the hall

Chorus:
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half-right now it seems
There ain't nothing in my pocket,
But three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream

Somebody threw a baseball
Through my window
And the arm fell off
My fav'rite chair, again
The man called me today and said,
"He'd haul my things away
If I didn't get my payments made by ten."

Chorus:
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half-right now it seems
There ain't nothing in my pocket,
But three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream...

(No they'll never, ever take her love from me)

If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares
There is one who's smiling face, the God's would see
'Cause she'll walk along beside me, up to golden stairs
Oh, they'll never, ever take her love from me.

What a fool I was to go and break the trust she gave
And to see her love turn into sympathy
It's the one regret I'll carry with me to my grave
Oh, they'll never, ever take her love from me.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm so thankful for each golden hour of happiness
That we shared together in the used to be
Someone else's arms may hold her now in uncaress
But they'll never, ever take her love from me.

I thought I could make her happy if I'd step aside
But I knew her love would never set me free
And even on the day that she became another's bride
I'll say, they'll never, ever take her love from me...

I woke up this morning aching with pain
Don't think I can work, but I'll try
The car's in the shop so I thumbed all the way
Oh these days I barely get by
I walked home from work and it rained all the way
My wife left and didn't say why
She laid all her bills on the desk in the hall
Oh these days I barely get by
Put my only two dollars on my favorite horse
He lost by a nose and I cried
Oh, my boss says come winter we'll all be laid off
Oh these days I barely get by
These days I barely get by
I want to give up, lay down and die
Worst of all is when she told me goodbye
Oh these days I barely get by
Oh these days, one barely gets by

I've been living a new way
Of life that I love so
But I can see the clouds are gathering
And the storm will wreck our home
For last night he hugged you tightly
And you didn't even shove
This is true for I've been watching
From the window up above

You must have thought that I was sleeping
And I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you
And the way your heart can sin
I thought we belong together
And our hearts fit like a glove
But I was wrong for I've been watching
From the window up above

From my eyes the teardrops started
As I listened on and on
Heard you whisper to him softly
That our marriage was all wrong
But I hope he makes you happy
And you will never loose his love
I lost mine while I was watching
From the window up above
Now I wish I could be dreaming
And wake up to a love that's true
But I was wrong for I've been watching
From the window up above

> The weatherman just said there's gonna be stormy weather
I guess he's right I feel it in the air
He said it'll be sometimes before it gets any better
The way I feel I just don't even care.
The forecast on this love of ours don't look much better
'Cause lately we've been havin' troubled times
There ain't much chance in clearin' the chilly winds are nearin'
There's trouble brewin' in this heart of mine.
'Cause I can see the clouds of doubt are hangin' low overhead
And the hurricanes of jealously are just around the bend
Well, I can feel the rains of sadness fallin' on this heart of mine
Only we can bring fair weather back and have love one more time.
Well, I believe to my soul the weatherman is goin' crazy
'Cause I just felt a ray of warm sunshine
She just walked in and kissed me and said how much she'd missed me
We're gonna have good weather one more time.
'Cause I can see the clouds of doubt no longer hang overhead
And the hurricanes of jealously have all come to an end
Well, the rain is gone and there's a rainbow in this heart of mine
No more stormy weather now there's sunshine one more time.
No more stormy weather now there's sunshine one more time.
(Yeah)

I've cried a million tears,
Down through the years.
Searching for that special one.
And the vows I took before,
Where all forever more,
But no matter how I tried they came undone.

Then the good lord finally gave me
The true love of a lady,
Someone who believes in me.
And she lets me know each day,
That love is here to stay.
I finally found someone who'll never leave.

Chorus:
I put a golden band on the right left hand this time,
And the right left hand put a golden band on mine.
When our hair is snowy white,
Time will prove I'm right.
I put a golden band on the right left hand this time.

I'll never have to reach
For the love that my heart needs,
She'll be close enough to touch.
And when the nights are long and cold,
She'll be there to hold,
All dressed up for one more night of love.

Chorus:
I put a golden band on the right left hand this time,
And the right left hand put a golden band on mine.
When our hair is snowy white,
Time will prove I'm right.
I put a golden band on the right left hand this time.

I put a golden band on the right left hand this time...

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
That I may never shake
Now you might say that I was taking it hard
Since you wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting
What the final results would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And finding that you'd gone from me
There's aching and pain in my heart
For the day was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
And I came out in second place

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside

And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful

But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting
What the final results would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And finding that you'd gone from me
There's aching and pain in my heart
For the day was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
And I came out in second place

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
That I may never shake
Now you might say that I was taking it hard
Since you wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting
What the final results would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And finding that you'd gone from me
There's aching and pain in my heart
For the day was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
And I came out in second place

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

George Jones & Gene Pitney

Way back in the hills, when a boy, I once wandered
Buried deep in her grave lies a girl that I love
She was called from this earth, a jewel for heaven
More precious than diamonds more precious than gold.

A jewel here on earth, a jewel in heaven
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven
They've broken my heart and they left me to roam.

--- Instrumental ---

When a girl of sixteen, we courted each other
She promised someday to become my sweet wife
I bought her the ring to wear on her finger
But the angels they called her to heaven one night.

A jewel here on earth, a jewel in heaven
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven
They've broken my heart and they left me to roam...

> I stopped off at the Quicksack for some beer and cigarettes
The old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette
He said, I had one just like her son, a 1963
'Til the man down at the bank took her from me
Oh She was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and lean every young man's dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fun to handle Sun
I'm glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then
Then I handed him my keys and said: here take her for a spin
The old man scratched his head, and then he looked at me and grinned
He said son you just don't understand, it ain't the car I want
It's the brunette in your 'vette that turns me on
The one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and lean every young man's dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fun to handle Son
I'm glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then
Lord she was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and lean every young man's dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fun to handle Son
I'm glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then
She reminds me of the one I loved back then

> Step right up, come on in
If you'd like to take the grand tour
Of a lonely house that once was home sweet home
I have nothing here to sell you
Just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you to the bone
Over there sits the chair
Where she brang the paper to me
And sit down on my knee and whisper oh I love you
But now she's gone forever
And this old house will never be the same
Without the love that we once knew
Straight ahead that's the bed
Where we lay and love together
And lord knows we had a good thing going here
See her picture on the table
Don't it look like she'd be able
Just to touch me and say good morning dear
There's her rings all her things
And her clothes are in the closet
Just like she left them when she tore my world apart
As you leave you'll see the nursery
Oh she left me without mercy
Taking nothing but our baby and my heart
Step right up, come on in

Step right up, come on in
If you'd like to take the grand tour
Of a lonely house that once was home sweet home
I have nothing here to sell you,
Just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you to the bone.

Over there, sits the chair
Where she'd bring the paper to me
And sit down on my knee
And whisper oh, I love you
But now she's gone forever
And this old house will never
Be the same without the love
That we once knew.

Straight ahead, that's the bed
Where we'd lay in love together
And Lord knows we had a good thing going here
See her picture on the table
Don't it look like she'd be able
Just to touch me and say good morning dear.

There's her rings, all her things
And her clothes are in the closet
Like she left them
When she tore my world apart.

As you leave you'll see the nursery,
Oh, she left me without mercy
Taking nothing but
Our baby and my heart.

Step right up, come on in...
