Pick Me Up on Your Way Down Written by: Harlan Howard
Pick Me Up on Your Way Down Lyrics
You were mine for just a while Now you're puttin' on the style And you've never once looked back At your home across the track
You're the gossip of the town But my heart can still be found Where you tossed it on the ground Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down When you're blue and all alone When their glamour starts to bore you Come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy But they'll find another toy Then they'll take away your crown Pick me up on your way down
They have changed your attitude Made you haughty and so rude Your new friends can take the blame Underneath you're still the same
When you've learned these things are true I'll be waiting here for you As you tumble to the ground Pick me up on your way down

Endless Sleep Written by: Dolores Nance, Jody Reynolds
Endless Sleep Lyrics
The night was black, rain fallin' down Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around Traced her footsteps down to the shore 'Fraid she's gone forevermore
I looked at the sea, and it seemed to say “I took your baby from you away" I heard a voice cryin' in the deep “Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep"
Why did we quarrel? Why did we fight? Why did I leave her alone tonight? That's why her footsteps ran into the sea That's why my baby has gone from me
Ran in the water, heart full of fear There in the breaker I saw her near Reached for my darlin', held her to me Stole her away from the angry sea
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say “You took your baby from me away" My heart cried out, “She's mine to keep I saved my baby from an endless sleep

Everybody's going out having fun Just a fool with staying home having none I can't get over how she set me free Oh lonesome me
A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round I know that I should have some fun paint the town A lovesick fool is blind just can't see Oh lonesome me
I'll bet she's not like me, she's out and fancy free Flirtin' with the boys with all her charms I still love her so and brother don't you know I welcome her right back here in my arms
Well there must be some way, I can lose these lonesome blues Forget about the past and find somebody new Thought of everything from A to Z Oh lonesome me
I'll bet she's not like me, she's out and fancy free She's flirtin' with the boys with all her charms I still love her so and brother don't you know I welcome her right back here in my arms
Must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues Forget about the past and find somebody new I've thought of everything from A to Z Oh lonesome me

This little girl of mine I want you people to know This little girl of mine I take her everywhere I go
One day I looked at my suit my suit was new I looked at my shoes and they were too And that's why why why why Oh yeah I love that little girl of mine

You're the Nearest Thing to Heaven Lyrics
I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green But you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
You're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are I have searched for happiness so long and far But my search for love was through the day that I found you Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are
I confess that I've been tempted by a luring magic charms When the smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do You're the nearest thing to heaven darlin' you
I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away I love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy the worth Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth

When I'm all through if I haven't been What they think I should be If the total isn't high enough When they figure me When I grow old if there's no gray from worry in my hair What do I care? What do I care?
What do I care just as long as you were mine a little while? When the road was long and weary, you gave me a few good mile What do I care if I miss a goal because I make a slip? I'll still be satisfied because I tasted your sweet lips
What do I care if I never have much money? And sometimes my table looks a little bare Anything that I may miss is made up for each time we kiss You love me and I love you, so what do I care?

Every time I look at you I fall in love, all over again Every time I think of you It all begins, all over again
One little dream at night and I can dream all day It only takes a memory to thrill me One little kiss from you and I just fly away Pour me out your love until you fill me
I wanna fall in love beginning From the start, all over again Show me how you stole away my heart All over again

I don't want my heart to be broken 'Cause it's the only one I've got So, darling, please, be careful You know I care a lot Darling, please, don't break my heart I beg of you
I don't want no tears a-falling You know I hate to cry But that's what's bound to happen If you only say goodbye Darling, please, don't say goodbye I beg of you
Hold my hand and promise That you'll always love me true Make me know you'll love me The same way I love you, little girl
You got me at your mercy Now that I'm in love with you So, please, don't take advantage 'Cause you know my love is true Darling, please, please, love me too I beg of you

It's Too Soon to Know Written by: Deborah Chessler
It's Too Soon to Know Lyrics
Does she love me? It's too soon to know Can I believe her when she tells me so? Is she foolin'? Is it all a game? Am I the fire or just another flame? A one-sided love would break my heart She may be just acting and playing a part
If she don't love me let her tell me so I won't hold her if she wants to go Though I'll cry when she's gone I won't die, I'll live on If it's so, it's too soon, way too soon to know

Wonderful Time Up There Lyrics
Well now everybody's gonna have religion and glory Everybody's gonna be a singing that story Everybody's gonna have a wonderful time up there Oh glory hallelujah
Brother there's a reckoning a coming in the morning Better get ready cause I'm giving you the warning Everybody's gonna have a wonderful time up there
Now listen everybody cause I'm talking to you The Lord is the only one to carry you through You better get ready cause I'm telling you why The Lord is a coming from his throne on high
Going down the valley going one by one We're gonna be rewarded for the things we've done How you gonna feel about the things you'll say On that judgment day? Well a well a well a
Now ya get your Holy Bible in the back of the book The book of Revelations is the place ya look If you understand it and you can if you try The Lord is a coming from his throne on high
A reading in the Bible about the things he said He said he's coming back again to raise the dead Are ya gonna be among the chosen few? Or will you make it through? Well a well a well a

Don't Ask Me Why Lyrics
I'll go on loving you Don't ask me why Don't know what else to do Don't ask me why
How sad my heart would be If you should go Though you're not good for me I want you so
It's not the kind Of love I dream about But it's the kind That I can't live without
You're all I'm longing for Don't say good-bye I need you more and more Don't ask me why

Blue boy I'll be a blue boy Until you need me As I need you

What Am I Living For Lyrics
What am I living for if not for you What am I living for if not for you What am I living for if not for you Oh nobody else, nobody else will do
What am I longing for each lonely night To feel your lips to mine, to hold you tight You'll be the only girl my whole life through Oh nobody else, nobody else will do
I want you close to me That's all I know I want you all the time Because darling I love you so
What am I living for if not for you What am I living for if not for you What am I living for if not for you Baby nobody else, nobody else will do
What am I living for if not for you Darling nobody else, nobody else will do Oh nobody else, nobody else will do
