GUILTY
Words And Music By ALEX ZANETIS

I've been accused, convicted and condemned,
The trial's over and now I face the end.
Is this your way of telling me we're through
When all I'm guilty of is loving you?

You were the judge, the jury all in one.
You found me guilty and now my term's begun.
I must confess I've never been untrue
And all I'm guilty of is loving you.

	Loving you,
	And now I'm losing you;
	Losing you
	For things I didn't do.

Please let your heart consider an appeal
For now you know exactly how I feel.
Don't punish me for things I didn't do
When all I'm guilty of is loving you.
Yes, all I'm guilty of is loving you.

"I liked the song very much the first time I heard it," recalls Mary Reeves. "I thought it would make a tremendous single because it's just that kind of song. It's one of my favorite recordings."

She's referring to "Guilty."

Alex Zanetis wrote it.

Jim Reeves recorded it.

And it became a big hit for him.

The use of such instruments as French horns and oboes-a rarity in Reeves' recordings-added to the mood of the record, and made this a unique entry in the Jim Reeves recorded repertoire.
