Album Preview

Oh how you sparkle, and oh how you shine.
That flush on your cheeks is more than the wine.
And he must do something that I didn't do.
Whatever he's doing, it looks good on you.

You look so good in love.
You want him, that's easy to see.
You look so good in love.
And I wish you still wanted me.

He must have stolen some stars from the sky,
And gave them to you to wear in your eyes.
I had my chances, but I set you free.
And now I wonder why I couldn't see.

You look so good in love.
You want him, that's easy to see.
You look so good in love.
And I wish you still wanted me.

Darling I've wasted a lot of years not seeing the real you,
But tonight your beauty is shining through.
And I never took the time to let you know,
So before he takes you away please let me say.

You look so good in love.
You want him, that's easy to see.
You look so good in love.
And I wish you still wanted me.

You look so good in love.

 

- Glen Ballard, Rory Michael Bourke, Kerry Chater

Right or wrong, I'll always love you
Though you're gone I can't forget
Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming
Still I wake with that same old regret

All along I knew I'd lose you
Though I prayed that you'd be true
In your heart please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you

Right or wrong, I'll always love you
Though you're gone I can't forget
Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming
Still I wake with that same old regret

All along I knew I'd lose you
Though I prayed that you'd be true, oh Lord
In your heart please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you


- Paul Biese, Haven Gillespie, Arthur L. Sizemore

I used to like making love
And then getting up and never having to explain
I've always been free, I never could see me
Dragging no ball and chain

I like running around and being tied down
Never was my cup of tea
But since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me

And I'm beginning to like
Just sitting and holding hands
Looking into her eyes
I'm thinking about future plans

And then I get the feeling that the life
That I'd been leading ain't all it's cracked up to be
Since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me

I used like to spend the night
Sitting on an old bar stool
Drinking wine and killing time
With all of those other fools

But since you took my hand
I think I understand it ain't the way it outta be
Since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me

And I'm beginning to like
Just sitting and holding hands
Looking into her eyes
I'm thinking about future plans

And then I get the feeling that the life
That I'd been leading ain't all it's cracked up to be
Since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me
And since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me


- Gene Dobbins, John Scott Sherrill

You ain't never fell as far as when you fall in love
Except the fall you take when you've been loved and given up
When you have your heart and soul rubbed into the dirt
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper will take away the hurt

Give me an 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper and I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying because it dries up all my crying
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free

It ain't easy losing love although it's turned out bad
All at once you're turning off old feelings you once had
But I found a helping hand, right here in my hand
And 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper will help me take 'em out

Give me an 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper and I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying because it dries up all my crying
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free

Yeah every time my ship comes in
A hurricane blows it out again
Stormy weather seems to hang around my door
My sweet bird of pardise
Threw the poop on me last night
Whoa and every time it rain lord don't it pour

I got a letter from the IRS
They said son you're in a hell of a mess
Our computer shows you owe 10, 000 more Well that machines made of bad mistakes
'Cause that's more than this poor boy makes
Whoa and every time it rain lord don't it pour

Every time it rains
I just wash my car
The whole neighborhood goes swimin' in my front yard
Well my mother-in-law
Says she's stayin' three weeks more
Whoa and every time in rain lord don't it pour

Just got my car right out the shop
Two blocks down the street it stops
I went through year On at the grocery store
I walked back to my chevrolet
But they towed that sucker away
Whoa and every time it rain lord don't it pour

Every time it rains
I just wash my car
The whole neighborhood goes swimin' in my front yard
Well my mother-in-law
Says she's stayin' three weeks more
Whoa and every time in rain lord don't it pour

Well and every time it rain lord don't it pour


- Charlie Craig, Keith Stegall

Sometimes I like a drink 'cause I'm happy,
When I think of how your love
It's my life.
If you see me
Light on my feet feeling good inside,
Honey, you're the cloud that I'm on
When I'm high.

[Chorus:]
When I'm high
I'm high because you love me
No matter if I'm sober
Or having bourbon with water by
If you see me
Light on my feet feeling good inside
Honey, you're the cloud I'm on
When I'm high.

It has always been my style to celebrate
And what more could I celebrate tonight?
You're sweet love took my soul
Flying to the sky
Honey, you're the cloud I'm on when I'm high.

[Chorus]


- Ronnie Rogers

Pardon me, you left your tears on the jukebox,
And I'm afraid they got mixed up with mine.
I don't mean to pry,
It's just that I noticed you going out of your mind.
Looks like we're two of a kind.

Let's fall to pieces together.
Why should we both fall apart?
Let's fall to pieces together
Right here in each other's arms.

Alone is much better together,
And the worst is still yet to come.
So let's share the rest of the tears
That are left from two hearts that just came undone.
Why should we go crazy alone?

Let's fall to pieces together
Right here in each other's arms.

 

Pardon me, you left your tears on the jukebox,
And I'm afraid they got mixed up with mine.
I don't mean to pry,
It's just that I noticed you going out of your mind.
Looks like we're two of a kind.

Let's fall to pieces together.
Why should we both fall apart?
Let's fall to pieces together
Right here in each other's arms.

Alone is much better together,
And the worst is still yet to come.
So let's share the rest of the tears
That are left from two hearts that just came undone.
Why should we go crazy alone?

Let's fall to pieces together
Right here in each other's arms.

You don't dress up in satin
You don't wear diamond rings
But I'm satisfied with you

You look just like an angel
But you haven't got wings
But I'm satisfied with you

I'd rather have you just the way that you are
Than change you for somebody new
Maybe I could do better if I reached for a star
But I'm satisfied with you

You're not made out of candy
But you're sweet as you can be
So I'm satisfied with you

I just can't see no reason
Why you bother with me
But I'm satisfied with you

I often wonder if it's all a mistake
It's hard to believe that it's true
But if I'm only dreaming, I sure don't want to wake
'Cause I'm satisfied with you

I'd rather have you just the way that you are
Than change you for somebody new
Maybe I could do better if I reached for a star
But I'm satisfied with you, but I'm satisfied with you


- Fred Rose

Lady I know your out there somewhere
Like me your feeling lost
Maybe right now we both need each other
But our paths may never cross

People like us never find each other
Love is our greatest loss
Baby I know you are out there some where
But our paths may never cross

We're two people that should be together
'Cause we're lonely at the very same time
But there's a million too many good reasons
Why your love can never be mine

Maybe this song was written for you
Listen, don't turn it off
I wish you could learn it and come sing it with me
But our paths may never cross

I wish you could learn it and come sing it with me
But our paths may never cross


- Merle Haggard

15 years together
We climbed by work and will
From a simple two room cottage
To a mansion on the hill
Now there's rose in the garden
But it's the coldest place in town
It took 15 years, goin up
And one night coming down

15 years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From out on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
15 years, goin up
And one night coming down

Her dreams have all been shattered
Her faith in my is gone
My tears tell her I'm sorry
But they can't write my wrong
One night wrote my story
How a man can lose it all
After 15 years goin up
It's hard to take a fall

15 years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From out on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
15 years, goin up
And one night coming down
