I Love You Because

I love you because you understand dear every single thing I try to do
And you're always there to lend a halping hand dear
But most of all I love you cause you're you
No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me but most of all I love you cause you're you
[fiddle]
I love you because my heart is lighter every time I'm walking by your side
And I love you because the future's brighter the door to happiness you opened wide
No matter what may be the style or season
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you cause you're you

I Made A Mistake

I made a mistake Lord
I thought I was wrong
I said take it and git
She said got it and gone
So I'm writing it all down
In this stupid ol' song
I made a mistake Lord
I thought I was wrong

I'm a lot like ol' Ripley
On "Believe It Or Not"
I told a big lie Lord
And then I forgot
I thought I was Jesus
And believe me I'm not
I thought I was right
And I was wrong by a lot
I feel a little like Elvis
When he was alone
I made another mistake Lord
I thought I was wrong

I made a mistake Lord
And it's all on me
I wouldn't admit it
But it's easy to see
So if anyone's praying
A request I would make
Is to mention my name 'cause
I made a mistake

I'm a lot like ol' Ripley
On "Believe It Or Not"
I told a big lie Lord
And then I forgot
I thought I was Jesus
And believe me I'm not
I thought I was right
And I was wrong by a lot
I feel a little like Elvis
When he was alone
I made another mistake Lord
I thought I was wrong
I made another mistake Lord
I thought I was wrong

I Miss You So

Those happy hours I spent with you
That lovely afterglow
Most of all, I miss you so

Your sweet caresses, each rendezvous
You voice so soft and low
Most of all, I miss you so

You once filled my heart with
No regrets, no fears
Now you'll find my heart
Filled to the top with tears

I'll always love you and want you too
How much you'll never know
Most of all, I miss you so

I Never Cared For You

I know you won't believe these things I tell you, no you won't believe
Your heart has been forewarned all men will lie to you, And your mind cannot conceive
Now all depends on what I say to you and on your doubting me
So I've prepared these statements far from true Take Heed and disbelive.
The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all the sky was never blue
The stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall and I never cared for you
[ guitar ]
The sun is filled with ice...
And I never cared for you I never cared for you

I Never Go Around Mirrors.

I never go around mirrors it just tears me up to see a grown man cry
And I never go around mirrors cause I've got a heartache to hide
[ guitar ]
I never go around mirrors I can't stand to see a grown man cry
And I never go around mirrors cause I've got a heartache to hide
Cause I've got a heartache to hide



I Never Go Around Mirrors
------Lefty Frizzel

I can't stand to see a good man go to waste
One who never combs his hair or shaves his face
A man who leans on wine over love that's told a lie
It tears me up to see a grown man cry
I never go around mirrors I can't stand to see me without you by my side
I never go around mirrors cause I've got a heartache to hide

I never go around mirrors...
And it tears me up to see a grown man cry

I Saw The Light

I saw the light I saw the light no more darkness no more night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight praise the Lord I saw the light

I wandered so aimless life filled with sin I wouldn't let my dear Saviour in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night praise the Lord I saw the light
I saw the light...

Just like a blind man I wandered along worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like a blind man God gave back his sight praise the Lord I saw the light
I saw the light...
[ guitar ]
I was a fool to wander and stray straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for all the right praise the Lord I saw the light
I saw the light...
Well I saw the light...
Well I said praise the Lord I saw the light

I Still Can't Believe You're Gone

This is the very first day since you left me
And I've tried to put my thoughts in a song
All I can hear myself singing baby is I still can't believe you're gone
I still can't believe that you'd leave me what did I do that was so wrong
And there's just too many unanswered questions
And I still can't believe that you're gone
But you're gone I'm alone and I'm still living
I don't like it but I'll take it till I'm strong
And all that I can hear myself saying baby is I still can't believe you're gone
And I still can't believe you're gone

I Thought About You Lord

I thought about trees
And how much I'd like to climb one
I thought about friends
And how rare it is to find one

I thought about You
The most gentle, sweet and kind one
I thought about You, Lord
I thought about You

I thought about life
And the way that things are goin'
I thought about love
And the pain there is in growin'

And I thought about You
The one who is all knowin'
I thought about You, Lord
I thought about You

I thought about You
And the songs that I keep singin'
I thought about You
And the joy that they keep bringin'

I thought about life
And a love that has no endin'
I thought about You, Lord
I thought about You

I thought about You
And the songs that I keep singin'
And I thought about You
And the joy that they keep bringin'

I thought about life
And a love that has no endin'
I thought about You, Lord
I thought about You

I thought about You, Lord
I thought about You

I Thought I Left You

I thought I left you
What part of we can't make it don't you understand?
It's no longer you and me, there's another world we'll see
I I thought I left you, so why aren't you leaving me

I thought I left you
What part of "it's all over" don't you understand?
You fell out of love with me so I moved on quietly
I thought I left you, so what aren't you leaving me?

You're like the measles, you're like the whooping cough
I've already had you, so why in heaven's name can't you just get lost?
I thought I left you
So don't you think it's time you're leaving me
I thought I left you
So don't you think it's time you let me leave

The bus is leaving, it's already left the parking lot
And I checked the list to see if you were on it
Searched around and thankfully you're not

I thought I left you
Don't you think it's time you're leaving me
I thought I left you
Don't you think it's time you let me be

I Told A Lie To My Heart

I told my heart I didn't love you that I'd be happy if we'd part
But now I know I was mistaken I told a lie to my heart
I told my heart I didn't love you now we'll forever be apart
Lonely years of tears and sorrow I told a lie to my heart
[ guitar ]
If we sin somehow we pay and now the bitter teardrops start
I must learn to live without you I told a lie to my heart
I told my heart I didn't love you that I'll be happy if we'll part
Lonely years of tears and sorrow I told a lie to my heart
