WHEN LOVE WAS GREEN 

Each day I live with faith from yesterday
When you were mine the sky's was never grey
With in our hearts each day was filled with spring
But that was long ago when love was green

The season now has grown from green to brown
The clouds of sorrow lets their rain fall down
You're no longer mine but I srtill dream
Of yesterday when love was green.

--- Instrumental ---

Each night I hold your picture in my arms
And kiss you lips pretending they're still warm
The bells of love and joy would loudly ring
If I could live one day when love was green.

But that was long ago when love was green...

WHEN MAMA SONG (THE ANGELS STOPPED TO LISTEN) 

Mama didn't have special trainin'
She couldn't read the music, just the words
But when she'd stand to sing on Sunday mornin'
She had the sweetest voice I think I've, I've ever heard.
She loved to sing the songs about our Savior
"There is a Fountain", was her favorite one
And I've seen tears roll down the cheeks of sinners
By the time my mama's song was done.
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
You could see the love light shinin' in her face
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
Now in heaven's choir she has a special place.
(Spoken)
You know my daddy wanted me to sing a song
The day that mama left us
And you know that little church
Was filled with all of mama's friends
And you know it seems we could all hear mama singin'
When I couldn't finish up her favorite hymn.
(Sang)
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
You could see the love light shining in her face
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
Now in heaven's choir she has a special place.
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen.

WHEN THE GRASS GROWS OVER ME 

When you left I thought that I would soon be over you
Even told myself that I would find somebody new
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

(Chorus:)
Yes I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute I'm alive I'm hurting through and through
And as long as I live I know I won't be free
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

(Repeat chorus)

WHEN THE LAST CURTAIN FALLS 

Even though I still sting from the words that you threw
at me
There's no pleasure at all from watching you fall to
your knees
'Cause the tables have turned
And I'm finally learning to live and forgive and let go
There's no sweet revenge at loves angry end and we all
need to know.

When the last curtain falls with a final goodbye
And the bitter cold darkness of night flood the days of
our livee
With the silence so loud we can't feel it all
There's no reason or cause to cheer or applaud
When the last curtain falls.

--- Instrumental ---

The irony is that you're wearing the look I once wore
And in truth I've longed for this moment to settle the
score
But it's not all that clear now that I'm hearin' you
echo
The thoughts of my soul, the justice of time
It's not really mine and I want you to know.

When the last curtain falls with a final goodbye
And the bitter cold darkness of night flood the days of
our lives
With the silence so loud we can feel it all
There's no reason or cause to cheer or applaud
When the last curtain falls.

There's no reason or cause to cheer or applaud
When the last curtain falls...

WHEN THE WIFE RUNS OFF 

Well, I break the dishes and I burn the steak
I spilled all the coffee that I try to make
Tried to do some sewin' stuck the needle in my hand
That's how it is when the wife runs off with another man.

Monday I washed when the sun was a-shining bright
I used too much bleach an' everything came out white
This house looks like the garbage hit the fan
That's how it is when the wife runs off with another man.

TV dinner, chicken pot pie is all I've had to eat
I've lost so much weight from living on hate till my shoes don't fit my feet
But still I've got to do the best I can
That's how it is when the wife runs off with another man.

--- Instrumental ---

Tried to iron my shirt but I had the iron too hot
Now there's a hole in the back of the best dang shirt I've got
Nothing turns out right the way I planned
And that's how it is when the wife runs off with another man.

TV dinner, chicken pot pie is all I've had to eat
I've lost so much weight from living on hate till my shoes don't fit my feet
But still I've got to do the best I can
That's how it is when the wife runs off with another man.

That's how it is when the wife runs off with another man...

WHEN TRUE LOVE STEPS IN 

When I met him he was lonely from a love that went wrong
And I helped him to forgive about the life he have known
And I gave him the courage to start over again
Yes it's funny how people change when true love steps in
And when I met her she was looking for a true and good time
And when she found out someone cared it changed her ways in her mind
And then I asked her to go with me I didn't care where she'd been
Ain't it funny how people change when true love steps in
True love stepped in and I know it will last
If we live for tomorrow and forget about the past
For the first time in a long time we're happy again
Yes it's funny how people change when true love steps in
Yes it's funny how people change when true love steps in

WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE 

Your world was so different from mine don't you see
 We just couldn't be close though we tried
 We both reached for heavens but ours weren't the same
 That's what happens when two worlds collide
 Your world was made up of things sweet and good
 My world could never fit in oh I wish it could
 Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried
 That's what happens when two worlds collide
 [ piano ]
 Your world was made up...

WHEN YOU WERE MINE - WITH PATTI PAGE 

Well, I saw you today
And I thought for a while I was dreaming
You were the loveliest girl
I'd seen in a long long time

You introduced me to him
And while we were talking
I just stood there thinking
You never looked that good
When you were mine

It was all I could do to hide
All the things I was feeling
Lord just lookin' at you
Sent chills up and down my spine

I wanted so much to reach and touch you
But I just stood there dyin'
You never looked that good
When you were mine

You know honey, I've wondered so many times
If you still stayed out late the way we used to do
With all of our old friends
The jukebox and all that wine

Oh, maybe you just stay at home
Lovin' one another
'Cause you never looked that good
When you were mine

Oh, if I knew then what I know now
We'd still be together
'Cause you never looked that good
When you were mine

WHEN YOUR HOUSE IS NOT A HOME 

I walk up to my door and hate to turn the key
Emptiness is all that waits inside for me
That's how it is when the one you love is gone
That's how it is when your house is not a home
I look around and see things marked with his and hers
Little things like this just make things that much worse
That's how it is since I live my life alone
That's how it is since my house is not a home
Is there a way out for a soul so torn as mine
Each day I live I'm like a prisoner passing time
That's how it is ask anyone who lives alone
That's how it is when your house is not a home
That's how it is when your house is not a home

WHEN YOUR PHONE DON'T RING 

Well, tonight when you lay lonely in your king size bed
With a hunger inside you can feel
Will, I'll be the empty place laying next to you
And when your phone don't ring it'll be me

It'll be me not calling you, crying like I used to do
A-crawlin' on my hands and knees
It'll be me not on the phone, begging let me come back home
And when your phone don't ring, it'll be me.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, tonight it'll be my car not in your driveway
And you'll wonder where on earth I could be
It'll be my footsteps you don't hear in the hallway
And when your phone don't ring, it'll be me.

It'll be me not calling you, crying like I used to do
Crawlin' on my hands and knees
It'll be me not on the phone, a-begging let me come back home
And when your phone don't ring, it'll be me.

--- Instrumental ---
Aw, it'll be me not calling you, crying like I used to do
Crawlin' on my hands and knees
It'll be me not on the phone, a-begging let me come back home
And when your phone don't ring, it'll be me.

Yes, when your phone don't ring, it'll be me...
