I need you – Ricky Nelson

If you should ever think of leaving me don't let it go too far

The love of a lifetime, darling, that's what you are

I know I could never ever stop loving you

No man is an island and I need you, honest I do.

 

Every single day my love for you keeps growing more and more

The lips of an angel never kissed me before

And now that I've found you I'll be counting on you

To love me forever 'cause I need you, honest I do.

 

It took an awful lot of looking to find you

Oh, what a time I've been through

'Cause darling it's not very easy

Finding an angel like you.

 

The two of us together hand in hand we stand at heaven's door

Together forever I'll be yours evermore

Through all of my lifetime I'll be counting on you

To love me forever 'cause I need you, honest I do...

SING ME AN OLD FASHIONED SONG - Billie Jo Spears

 

Sing me, sing me an old fashioned song

Bring me, back in my mind, to a time where my memories all come from

Ah good timing song, the kind that makes you want to sing along

A good old fashioned, hand clapping, knee slapping, foot tapping song

Shoo fly don’t bother me

Shoo fly don’t bother me

Shoo fly don’t bother me I don’t want your company

Flies in the buttermilk two by two Flies in the buttermilk shoo fly shoo Flies in the butter milk skip tae ma loo Skip tae ma loo my darlin

When I was young I used to wait

Upon my master and drain his pipe

And pass the bottle when his was dry

And wash away the boot tail fly

Jimmy crack corn ‘n I don’t care

Jimmy crack corn ‘n I don’t care

Jimmy crack corn ‘n I don’t care The Master’s gone away

You are the only good thing - Jim Reeves

Are you thinking that I wasn't meant for you

Could it be you believe that I've been untrue

Listen sweetheart, this just can not be

For you're the only good thing that's happened to me.

We have our ups and downs like all lovers do

But you know in your heart that I worship you

So don't ever think of setting me free

For you're the only good thing that's happened to me.

--- Instrumental ---

We have our ups and downs like all lovers do

But you know in your heart that I worship you

So don't ever think of setting me free

For you're the only good thing that's happened to me.

The Night Watch _ Jim Reeves

(

God is keeping the night watch for you and for me)

Bright stars are watching the world as it sleeps

Shepherds watch over the little white sheep

The lighthouse is shining for ships far at sea

As God keeps the night watch for you and for me

So sleep sleep in peace and rest don't be afraid of the darkness

All's well for over the land and the sea

God's keeping the night watch for you and for me

[ piano - vibes ]

(God is keeping the night watch for you and for me)

So sleep sleep in peace and rest...

Young Hearts – Jim Reeves

Young hearts can be foolish

And make a mistake

If they're not forgiven

Young hearts can break.

So kiss me, my darling

Hold me tight

Young lips make

Everything right.

 

Young hearts can be cruel

Young hearts can be blind

I'm sorry that mine dear

Was one of that kind.

If you can forgive me

Kiss me and then

Our young hearts

Will be happy again.

 

Young hearts can be foolish

And make a mistake

If they're not forgiven

Young hearts can break.

So kiss me, my darling

Hold me tight

Young lips make

Everything right.

 

Young hearts can be cruel

Young hearts can be blind

I'm sorry that mine dear

Was one of that kind.

If you can forgive me

Kiss me and then

Our young hearts

Will be happy again...

Wishful Thinking – Jim Reeves

Wishful thinking, daydreams fly,

Happy visions fill the night

Untold memories fade to blue

While my heart aches just for you.

While my heart aches just for you.

 

Oh, I would walk a thousand miles

I'd swim the seven seas

I'd come to stars in the Milky Way

Or leaves upon the trees.

To see the twinkle in your eye

The dimple in your smile

Hold your hand touch your lips

For just a little while

 

Wishful thinking daydreams fly

Happy visions fill the night

Untold memories fade to blue

While my heart aches just for you.

While my heart aches just for you.

 

Wishful thinking daydreams fly

Happy visions fill the night

Untold memories fade to blue

While my heart aches just for you.

While my heart aches just for you.

While my heart aches just for you...

My Wonderful One – Marty Robins

All the islands are sad cause you're leaving' me

The Lord only knows just how lonesome I'll be

The days, the nights we shared were so much fun

My darling', my wonderful one

My wonderful one, my wonderful one

You're sailing out to the sea

 

My wonderful one, my wonderful one

Oh hurry home, please hurry home to me

My wonderful one, my wonderful one

You're sailing out to the sea

My wonderful one, my wonderful one

Oh hurry home, please hurry home to me

Beyond the Sunset - Pat Boone

Beyond the sunset oh blissful morning when with our Saviour heaven has begun

Earth's toiling ended oh glorious dawning beyond the sunset when day is done

Beyond the sunset no clouds will gather no storms will threaten no fears annoy

Oh day of gladness oh day unending beyond the sunset eternal joy

Beyond the sunset o glad reunion with our dear loved ones who've gone before

In that fair homeland we'll know no parting beyond the sunset forever more
