DREAM PAINTER

(Dallas Frazier - Sanger D. Shafer) « © '72 PAcuff-Rose Music, BMI »
He's my dream painter my weather changer
The rainbow that he paints for me won't let it rain
He's my dream painter my sunshine maker
¨ L-O-V-E love should be his name

He took my world of emptiness and framed it up with happiness
And touched up all my lonely yesterdays
Without one word he's made it plain
That I've seen my last drop of rain

From now on there'll be sunshine all the way
Before I held him in my arms until he came into my heart
I had my doubts about this thing called love
The better things in life are free I shouldn't let it bother me
But it just don't seem fair to have so much

BORN A WOMAN

(Martha Sharp) « © '65 Painted Desert Music, BMI »
It makes no difference if you're rich or poor or if you're smart or dumb
A woman's place in this old world is under some man's thumb
And if you're born a woman you're born to be hurt
You're born to be stepped on lied to cheated on and treated like dirt
Oh if you're born a woman you're born to be hurt

A woman's lot is to give and give and go on givin'
A woman's got to love and lose and go on livin'

Well I was born a woman I didn't have no say
And when my man fin'lly comes home
He makes me glad it happened that way
Because to be his woman no price is too great to pay
Well I was born a woman I didn't have no say

And when my man fin'lly comes home...

Yes I was born a woman I'm glad it happened that way
And to be his woman I'm glad it happened that way

I CAN TURN YOUR WORLD AROUND

(Jack Rhodes - Billie Jo Spears - Henry Ebner)
« © '65 Careers Music, BMI »
Ev'rytime our worlds meet I start cryin'
All my heart strings grow tight then come unwound
Cause I know you'll go back to the dark side
Will my love ever turn your world around

When they lock all the doors to the taverns
And the law runs your old friends out of town
You can cry your regrets on my shoulder
Maybe then I can turn your world around
[ steel ] If my love could be turned into silver
I'd just buy out your world and give you mine
Then return your poor heart to the good things
Prove to you love's not just a frame of mind

When they lock all the doors to the taverns...
I pray that then I can turn your world around

DON'T KEEP ME LONELY TOO LONG

(Melba Montgomery) « © '66 Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Life sure gets lonely alone no one to talk to alone
Nights sure get longer since you've gone
Don't keep me lonely too long
I need your arms to hold me and hear you say you need me
Don't let me live on dreams alone
Don't keep me lonely too long

Memories are bad for one so lonely
My tortured heart cries out
Because it loves and wants you only

Yes I'm too lonely alone afraid of bein' alone
Without your love I can't go on
Don't keep me lonely too long
Don't keep me lonely too long

SUNSHINE OF MY WORLD

(Dallas Frazier) « © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
A million violins could never sound sweeter than your name
Hold me close and tell me baby tell me you're not a dream
The wind of love has picked me up and spun me around in a whirl
Baby you're the sunshine of my world

The little things you do like runnin' a your fingers through my hair
Brings on a burnin' fever almost too warm to bear
If love was treasure I would have the world's most precious pearl
Baby you're the sunshine of my world

Up on a mountain top we'll build a cabin and move in to stay
A livin' on nothin' but love from day to day
And if I ever get to feelin' your sunshine slippin' away
Then baby I want you to touch your lips to mine
And make a little sunshine

Each day the skies above change into a bluer blue
Each day a little more sunshine is shinin' out from you
A tear of joy reminds me I'm the world's most lucky girl
Baby you're the sunshine of my world
Baby you're the sunshine of my world

TINY BLUE TRANSISTOR RADIO

(Bill Anderson) « © '64 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
(On the tiny blue transistor radio)

He bought it for my birthday just one short year ago
This tiny blue transistor radio (radio radio)
We stayed up late and listened to the music soft and low
On the tiny blue transistor radio

And the man at the radio station made a special dedication
To Jimmy and the girl that he loves so
We kissed each other gently as we listened so intently
To the tiny blue transistor radio
[ guitar ] And now just one year later his love for me is gone
He's out tonight with his new love I know (I know I know)
And I just heard them playin' the one we called our song
On the tiny blue transistor radio

And the man at the radio station made the special dedication
To Jimmy and the girl that he loves so
Her happy eyes are glistenin' while my sad heart is listenin'
To the tiny blue transistor radio my tiny blue transistor radio

EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY

(Kermit Lane - Irving Taylor - Sam Coslow) « © '48 Sands Music, ASCAP »
Ev'rybody loves somebody sometime ev'rybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me my sometime is now
Ev'rybody finds somebody someplace there's no tellin' where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps sayin' my someplace is here

If I had it in my power I'd arrange for ev'ry boy to have your charm
Then ev'ry minute ev'ry hour ev'ry girl would find what I found in your arms
Ev'rybody loves somebody sometime and although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting for someone like you

(If I had it in my power) I'd arrange for ev'ry boy to have your charm...
(Ev'rybody loves somebody sometime)

ALL THE PRAISES

(Carmol Taylor - Jenny Strickland) « © '72 Algee Music, BMI »
All the praises should be given to my Jesus
He's the one who helped me when I was down all the way
All the praises should be given to my Saviour
He's the one who made me what I am today

It's so good to hear the words congratulations
It's so good to know at last success is mine
But as I stand here in the midst of all this honor
There's a precious face that's smilin' on my mind

All the praises should be given to my Jesus
Cause he's the one who helped me up when I was down all the way
All the praises should be given to my Saviour
He's the one who made me what I am today
Yes Jesus made me ev'rything I am today

I LOVE YOU DROPS

(Bill Anderson) « © '66 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
They're not teardrops just sincere drops
They're I love you drops and I love you

They were on my pillow when I woke up this mornin'
They were on the letter I tried all day to write
And just a little while ago I saw them fallin'
On your picture as I kissed it goodnight

I love you drops I miss you drops
Hurry home drops you've been gone so long drops
They're not teardrops just sincere drops
They're I love you drops and I love you
[ violin ] Never knew this heart could hurt the way it hurts for you
Never lived so many lifetimes in a week
Why don't you come back to me the way you said you would
And kiss these little crystals off my cheek

I love you drops I miss you drops...
(Hurry home) I love you

LOVE IS NO EXCUSE

(Justin Tubb)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Love is no excuse for what we're doin'
For we both know that's two hearts could break
We tell ourselves we've got to have each other
But love is no excuse for us to make

Sure we love each other and it could be so right
But not if someone else has got to pay
Our love for each other looks good in the night
But our love can never see the light of day

It's been goin' on for much too long now
And our wrongs have mounted one by one
We tell ourselves it's cause we love each other
But love is no excuse for what we've done
[ steel ] Sure we love each other and it could be so right...
