Teach Me To Forget

You taught me how to love with all my heart with all my soul I trusted you
And now you say we'll have to live apart a thing I don't know how to do
You said someday I'd find somebody new and I'll have not one regret
But stay a while if what you say is true stay and teach me to forget
[piano]
You taught me how to worship you alone and now you say you'll have to go
And people call me on the telephone just to say I told you so
I know now that I only learned to live on the night when first we met
God above will teach me to forgive but stay and teach me to forget
Please stay and teach me to forget

Tenderly

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wanderin' by and lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forgert how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips you took my love so tenderly
[ strings - piano ]
The shore was kissed by sea...

Texas In My Soul

Listen to my song
And if you want to sing along
It's about where I belong
Texas

Sometimes far into the night
And until the morning light
I pray with all my might
To be in Texas

It's where I want to be
The only place for me
Where my spirit can be free
Texas

It's where I want to be
The only place for me
Where my spirit can be free
Texas

Listen to my song
And if you want to sing along
Its about where I belong
Texas

Texas On A Saturday Night

Well there's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night
Nothin' can compare to it no matter how you try
Nevada never closes New York City's got bright lights
But it's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night
Everybody's goin' San Antonio on a Saturday night
River walkin' talkin' western swingin' singin'
Songs of love and yellow roses

There's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night
It's honky tonkin' heaven underneath that lone star sky
You can lose your blues in Mexico with their women and their wine
Cause it's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night
[ fiddle - steel ]
Well there's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night
Nothing can compare to it no matter how you try
Colorodo's mighty friendly with your Rocky Mountain high
But it's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night
When the sun goes down it's time to paint the town
That's when you hear those fiddles play
[ fiddle ]
From Dallas to Del Rio and up to Amarillo they'll be dancin' in the streets
Loud and rowdy howdy howdy haughty lawdy
How I wish that I could be in Abilene
There's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night
Nothing can compare to it no matter how you try
Nevada never closes New York City's got bright lights
But it's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night
But it's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night

Thanks Again

Thanks for what a little love you gave to me
And thank you for my escape from misery
I searched and found heaven and then lost it again
You were mine for a little while so thanks again
I'm not sorry forgiving all my love to you
And if they ask if I still love you I'll have to say I do
My heart was dead and you've made it live then died again
You were mine for a little while so thanks again
[ guitar ]
My reason for existing is now reveal
I'm just here to show the world how blue a man could feel
My heart was dead and you've made it live and die again
And then they learn from my mistakes so thanks again

That Just About Does It

Every night you go to bed crying
There's nothing left to do when love is dying
So, before the whole world knows how we're hurting
Don't you think it's time we pulled the curtains?

So many times I talked you out of leaving
And so many times you've tried to fight the feeling
I guess we've tried and failed once too often
Now the suitcase down the hallway does the talking

That just about does it, don't it
That'll just about kill it, won't it
Maybe we should call a truce
We could but what's the use?
That just about does it, don't it

It's sad to think that words could come between us
And what I said, God knows, I didn't mean it
It's time we realized this time it's over
It's tearing us apart to stay together

And that just about does it, don't it
That'll just about kill it, won't it
Maybe we should call a truce
We could but what's the use?
That just about does it, don't it

Maybe we should call a truce
We could but what's the use?

That Lucky Old Sun

Up in the morning out on the job work like a devil for my pay
And that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do but roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
But that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do but roll around heaven all day
Dear Lord above can't you see I'm cryin' tears are in my eyes
Send down the cloud with that silvery take me to paradise
Show me that river and lead me across take all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do but roll around heaven all day
But roll around heaven all day

That's All

Some people go to school tryin' to learn how to teach
Some people go to school tryin' to learn how to preach
But if you preach without goin' school
Brother you're ain't no preacher you're an educated fool
And that's all and that's all
You'd better change your way of livin' cause the good Lord say that's all

Now a feller I know it's a wiser man tryin' to save all the money that he can
One day undertaker lets him down
Where's he gonna spend that money under the ground
And that's all and that's all...
[horns]
Now a man come from monkey some people say
But the Good Book brother just don't tell it that way
And if you believe that monkey tale like some folks do
Then I'd rather be that monkey than you
And that's all and that's all...

Well my little song is ended and my little song is through
And I necessarilly mean this song for you
But if you don't like the way the little song goes
Well it's a mighty good sign that I've been trottin' on your toes
And that's all and that's all...

That's All There Is To This Song

The night that we met I heard her music
The words started coming so I wrote her a song
She loved every line that flowed from my mind
And I sang it to her all night long

It was easy to write about her blue eyes
And her sweet smelling body and her smile touching me
I made her mine with just a few lines
And a three quarter timed melody

Now that?s all there is to this song
The dream that she was has moved on
All the words to the verses are gone
That?s all there is to this song

Now that?s all there is to this song
The dream that she was has moved on
All the words to the verses are gone
That?s all there is to this song

That's The Way Love Goes

I've been throwin' horseshoes
Over my left shoulder
I've spent most all my life
Searching for that four leaf clover
Yet you run with me
Chasing my rainbows
Honey, I love you too
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
Babe, that's the music God made
For the whole wide world to sing
It never gets old
It always grows
Losing makes me sorry
You say don't you worry
Honey, I love you too
And that's the way love goes
[ harmonica - piano ]
That's the way love goes babe...
