MY KIND OF COUNTRY







How Blue (John Moffat)

Chorus: How blue can you make me How long till I heal How can I go on loving you when you're gone How blue can I feel Oh honey why did you leave me Ain't you got a heart left in your chest I swear to you that I'm dying Cause my mind won't let my body rest Repeat Chorus If I sink any lower I'll go under If I cry anymore I'll go blind Oh there ain't no relief for this missing you grief How long can you torture my mind Repeat Chorus How can I go on loving you when you're gone How blue can I feel

That's What He Said

You tell me that you're always gonna love me But that's what he said That's what he said And forever is a word That should mean something But that's what he said That's what he said You're telling me the same sweet things he told me And in your eyes I see that same sweet glow And did you say you'd never leave me lonely Well that's what he said That's what he said You're telling me I've got to go on living To open up my heart and just let go And it's better to love and lose Then live with nothing But that's what he said That's what he said That's what he said That's what he said

I Want To Hear It From You (F. Carter Jr.)

If all our love is through If you found someone new Then I want to hear it from you If there is no mistake And if my heart must break I want to hear it from you Just the thought of losing you Is more than I can stand But this hurt would be much worse If I heard it secondhand If there's no hope at all If my world must fall I want to hear it from you So tell me now If things are not the way they used to be I want to hear it from your lips You owe that much to me If all our love is through If you found someone new Then I want to hear it from you

It's Not Over

You can tell everyone Love is over and done You can pack all your things and go You can lie to yourself And say that there's nothing left But there's something that I like you to know Chorus: It's never really over Even though you say we're through You may be holding me But can't you see It's not over if I'm not over you There's not much I can do If it's over for you I'll just wish you the best When you leave But you played such a part In my life and in my heart You'll always be part of me Repeat Chorus

SOMEBODY SHOULD LEAVE (Harlan Howard, Chick Rains)

It sure gets quiet When the kids go to bed We sit here in the silence Putting off what must be said I read a book you watch TV As our love dies quietly I'm so sad I don't know what I just read Chorus: Somebody should leave But which one should it be You need the kids and they need me Somebody should leave But we hate to give in We keep hoping somehow we might need each other again You say goodnight and turn and face the wall We lie here in the darkness and the tears start to fall If it was only you and me goodbye might come more easily But what about those babies down the hall Repeat Chorus x2

Everything But My Heart (T. Seals, G. Lyle)

The bed is cold and empty in the morning light I'm searching for my pride through tangled covers And loneliness is not a very pretty sight When you first discover Chorus: That it's over A hard one to lose Love hurts It's sad but true He wanted my arms around him Oh without a doubt He wanted my warm red lips Soft on his mouth He loved all of me Except for one small part He wanted everything Everything but my heart Love is not an easy word for me right now Too much has happened to my feelings It's gonna be rough not having him around Until time has done some healing And it's over And I'm over you Repeat Chorus (Starting at Love Hurts)

Don't You Believe Him (N. Stuckey)

He can give you a reason to live if he wants to He can make you forget other loves that you had known He has two lips and two arms that thrill you as very few do And if you want him to give them to you just ask and he will Chorus: Don't you believe him I did and soon he'll be leaving me No don't believe him if you do Then soon he'll be leaving you too He can tell you a lie you believe if he has to And you'll trust me till time and the tide both stand still He can cry on your shoulder and swear to the things that he won't do But be careful for when you're not looking he will Repeat Chorus

Before I Met You (Charles L. Seitz, Joe Lewis, Elmer Rader)

Well I thought I had seen good looking men in my time That was before I met you And I never saw one that I wanted for mine But that was before I met you Chorus: Well I thought I was swinging the world by the tail I thought I could never be blue I thought I'd been kissed And I thought I'd been loved But that was before I met you Well I wanted to ramble and always be free That was before I met you And I said that nobody could ever hold me But that was before I met you Repeat Chorus I thought I'd been kissed And I thought I'd been loved But that was before I met you Darling that was before I met you

He's Only Everything

In the eyes of the world he's only an ordinary man But there's a million and one things the eyes of the world never see He may walk the same He may talk the same As a million others do Oh but you'd see him as I do if his heart had eyes for you Chorus: He's only everything Only everything He's as real as the thrill I feel When he walks through my dreams He's the one I hold When my world grows cold And needs a touch of spring Or a song to sing Yes in these eyes of mine Lord he's only everything Repeat Chorus Yes in these eyes of mine Lord he's only everything

You've Got Me (Right Where You Want Me)

Darling could I just have one moment with you We're here all alone just us two Let me try to tell you in a few little words How my heart feels about you If there were no rainbow I'd paint one for you And I'd teach the robin a new song or two Then I'd fight forever And hand it to you Oh I wish there was more could do You've got me right where you want me It's true I'm right in the palm of your hand You've got me right where you want me to be And I want to be right where I am You've got me right where you want me to be And I want be right where I am
