Now, There Was A Song

Seasons Of My Heart

(George Jones - Darrell Edwards)

The seasons come the seasons go we get a little sunshine rain and snow

Just the way that it was planned to be

But there's no seasons in my heart while you play the leading part

Cause the flowers will bloom eternaly

Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow

And my tears like withered leaves will fall

But spring could bring some glad tomorrow

And darling we could be happy after all

[ piano ]

As it is in nature's plan no season gets the upper hand

How I try to keep this fact in mind

The trees are bare the cold wind blows and by experience we should know

Winter comes but the spring is close behind

Your leaving will bring...

I Feel Better All Over

(Kenneth Rogers - Leon Smith)

Well I feel better all over more than anywhere else baby when I'm out with you

Well I feel better all over more than anywhere else when you kiss me like you do

Well I'm as wild as a buck everytime you cause me up

You sure make me feel like a wheel

Well I feel better all over more than anywhere else that's exactly how I feel

[ steel - fiddle ]

Oh I feel better all over more than anywhere else

When you whisper sweet nothings in my ear

Oh I feel better all over more than anywhere else honey anytime that you're near

Well my heart beats double time when you hold your hand in mine

You sure is a wonderful deal

Well I feel better all over more than anywhere else that's exactly how I feel

Oh that's exactly how I feel

I Couldn't Keep From Crying

(Marty Robbins)

I saw you walking by his side heard you whisper all those lies

And I couldn't keep from crying

You sang him love songs tenderly that should have been for you and me

And I couldn't keep from crying

I saw his eyes drinking your charms while he held you in his arms

Him with all his wedding ways rules your heart now in my place

I stood and watched him steal a kiss from two lips I know I'll miss

And I couldn't keep from crying

[ steel ]

I saw his eyes drinking your charms...

Time Changes Everything

(Tommy Duncan)

Time has passed I've forgotten

Mother nature does wonderful things

I thought nothing could stop me from loving you

But time changes everything

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

[ fiddle - steel ]

Goodbye goodluck may God bless you

I don't say I won't love again

I guess that it's true for me and for you

That time changes everything

My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You

(Bob Wills - Lee Ross)

I may say that I don't care hold my head up in the air

Even tell my friends I'm glad that you don't call

But when the day is through my heartaches start anew

And that's when I miss you most of all

And my arms keep reaching for you my eyes keep searching for you

My lips keep calling for you and my shoes keep walking back to you

[ fiddle ]

No matter how much I pretend I wish I had you back again

Cause nothing else means half as much as you

My world just seemed to die the day you left my side

And I can't forget no matter what I do

And my arms keep reaching for you...

I'd Just Be Fool Enough (To Fall)

(Melvin Endsley)

Oh please don't be so careless with your glances

Don't look at me that way and breathe a sigh

Please don't get too close and let me love you

Cause I just might be fool enough to try

It's not that I don't think I'm worthy of you

But mem'ries from the past I still recall

Please don't get too close and let me love you

Cause I just might be fool enough to fall

[ steel ]

It's not that I don't think I'm worthy of you...

Transfusion Blues

(Roy Hogsed)

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds

Took a transfusion and I shot my woman down

Went right home and I went to bed

I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head

Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun

Took a transfusion and away I run

Made a good run but I run too slow

They overtook me down in Juarez Mexico

Late in the hot joints takin' the pills

In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill

He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown

You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down

Said yes oh yes my name is Willy Lee

If you've got a warrant just a read it to me

Shot her down because she made me slow

I thought I was her daddy but she had five more

When I was arrested I was dressed in black

Put me on a train and they took me back

Had no friends for to go my bail

They slapped my dried up carcass in that country jail

Into the courtroom my trial began

Where I was handled by twelve honest men

Just before the jury started out

I saw that little judge commenced to look about

In about five minutes in walked the man

Holding the verdict in his right hand

Verdict read in the first degree

I hollered Lowdy Lowdy have a mercy on me

The judge he smiled as he picked up his ben

Ninety-nine years in the San Quentin pen

Ninety-nine years underneath that ground

I can't forget the day I shot my woman down

Come on you guys and listen unto me

Lay off that liquor and let that transfusion be

Why Do You Punish Me (For Loving You)

(Erwin King)

Why do you punish me for loving you

You're counting my mistakes how about yours

Why do you sentence me too nice of tears

Convicting all these dreams I've dreamed for all these years

My heart cries out behind these prison bars

It pleads to you for your true love to set it free

Why do you punish me is love a crime

If so I'll spend the lifetime loving serving time

[ ac.guitar - piano ]

My heart cries out behind...

I Will Miss You When You Go

(Ernest Tubb - Henry Stewart)

I will miss you when you go much more than you'll ever know

But I'll have a memory to keep you near

In my heart you will remain but it just won't be the same

I will miss a million things that make you dear

Your lovely ways make you so sweet I prayed the angels fair will keep

You're happiness so you'll be blessed just as you deserve to be

I wonder why there are so few lovely people like you

My but I will surely miss you when you go

[ steel ]

Your lovely ways make you so sweet...

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

(Hank Williams)

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so long when time goes crawling by

The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry

[ steel ]

Did you ever hear a robin weep when leaves began to die

That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky

And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry

Just One More

(George Jones)

Put the bottle on the table let it stay there till I'm unable

To see your face in every place that I go

I've been sitting here so long just remembering that you are gone

One more drink of wine and if you're still on my mind

One drink just one more and then another

I'll keep drinking it won't matter I'll just remember that I once had

I don't know why I sat and cry every day

I've been trying to forget but I haven't stopped as yet

One more drink of wine and if you're still on my mind

One drink just one more and then another

[ steel ]

Put the bottle on the table...

Honky Tonk Girl

(Hank Thompson - Chuck Hardin)

Don't be fool by big blue eyes by a smile or a golden curl

Cause she'll love you now and then break every vow

Cause she's just a honky tonk girl

Breaking hearts to her is just the way of having fun

She thinks every man's a fool and you're another one

She knows all the arts of love she'll give your heart a twirl

Cause she's just a honky tonk girl

[ fiddle ]

She can never change your ways though you'll give her all the world

She's had more than one or two and each day there's someone new

Cause she's just a honky tonk girl

Breaking hearts to her is just...
