Loretta Lynn Album

We used to go out walkin' hand in hand
You told me all the big things you had planned
It wasn't long 'till all your dreams came true
Success put me in second place with you.

You have no time to love me any more
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone
Success had made a failure of our home.

--- Instrumental ---

If we could share an evening now and then
Perhaps we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do
It's funny what success has done to you.

You have no time to love me any more
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home...

The minute you're gone I cry
The minute you're gone I die
Before you walked out of sight
I'm like a child all alone at night.

I stare into emptiness
I'm filled with such loneliness
My world goes from right to wrong
The minute you're gone.

The minute you're gone I see
Just how lonely I'm gonna be
My life would be, oh so blue
If I couldn't be with you.

The minute you're gone I pray
The minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long
The minute you're gone.

--- Instrumental ---

The minute you're gone I pray
The minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long
The minute you're gone...

I'd like to introduce myself, I'm the other woman
The other woman in your husband's life
The whole town's buzzin' bout us and our stolen moments
They're callin' you the true and faithful wife.

But you gave him the right to seek that other woman
And you know who was first to cheat on who
I just accepted love from him you never wanted
The other woman didn't steal from you.

--- Instrumental ---

Now everybody's blaming me I'm the other woman
But who are they to judge who's wrong or right
Their whispers might be different if they knew what I know
The husband still beats you home ever night.

But you gave him the right to seek that other woman
And you know who was first to cheat on who
I just accepted love from him you never wanted
The other woman didn't steal from you...

How I love to be around you
When the lonely night surrounds you
How I love to be alone with you.

How I love to have the power
To read your mind one hour
How I love to be alone with you.

Just to be with you one night
You and me alone
Kiss your lips and hold you tight
Have you for my own.

This would be a joy unending
Could be a real beginning
How I love to be alone with you.

--- Instrumental ---

How I'd love to be around you
When the lonely night surrounds you
How I love to be alone with you.

If I only knew for certain
I'd cut out all my flirtin'
How I love to be alone with you.

Just to be with you one night
You and me alone
Kiss your lips and hold you tight
Have you for my own.

This would be a joy unending
Could be a real beginning
How I love to be alone with you.

How I love to be alone with you.
How I love to be alone with you...

I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
There's such an ache in this old heart well I ain't talkin'
The hand that held mine tight just waved goodbye tonight
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'.

With an old love in your heart life's not worth livin'
I breathe his name with every breath I'm breathin'
Why can't he ever see how much he means to me
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'.

--- Instrumental ---

When I pass you on the street and I miss speakin'
Just blame it on this memory I'm keepin'
My head is bowed down low the hurt is bound to show
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'...

Mhm mhm mhm Oh, could he love the girl that I am now?

Tonight I'm in his arms
But he just don't seem the same
I cheated and I'm guilty
My heart is standing pain.

I let passions fill my mind
From my heart and conscience blind
I feel now mighty low
And I pray he'll never know.

He loved the girl I used to be
Could he love the girl that I am now?

--- Instrumental ---

It almost breaks my heart
When he says that he loves me
I know that I'm not worthy
And that's what troubles me.

If he'd do what I had done
Could he still feel just the same
I would be still the way I do guilty and ashamed
He love the girl I used to be.

Could he love the girl that I am now?
Mhm mhm mhm Oh could he love the girl that I am now?

They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
They'll make a film about a girl who's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally.

Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movies are gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well.

I hope you'll come to see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally.

--- Instrumental ---

We'll, make a scene about a girl that's sad and lonely
And begging down upon her bended knee
I'll play the part that I won't need rehearsing
All I gotta do is act naturally.

Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movies are gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well.

I hope you'll come to see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally.

And all I gotta do is act naturally.
And all I gotta do is act naturally...

I live in the world, world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine.

Well, I've loved and I'd been loved but I had the reckless heart
And the many dreams I had are torn apart
Now I find out I was loved too late
I'm all alone alone in the world of broken heart.

I live in the world, world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine.

Well, I've loved and I'd been loved but I had the reckless heart
And the many dreams I had are torn apart
Now I find out I was loved too late
I'm all alone alone in the world of broken heart...

(Lawton Williams - George Jones)

Up above me are the skies
Like the twinkle in your eyes
These things are the colors of the blues
In the mail your letter came
The ink and paper looked the same
Blue must be the color of the blues.

Bluebird's singin' in the trees
Seems to sympathize with me
But he ain't singin' like he used to do
The pearly waters in the sea
Are as cold as you left me
Blue must be the color of the blues.

--- Instrumental ---

There's a rainbow overhead
With more blue than gold and red
Blue must be the color angels choose
A blue suit you proudly wore
When you left to return no more
Blue must be the color of the blues.

Blue days come and blue days go
How I feel nobody knows
Life is mighty empty without you
There's a blue note in each song
That I sang since you've been gone
Blue must be the color of the blues...

I've got a hundred proof heartache and a case of the blues
My baby's gone and left me,I've lost all I can lose
I've got a hundred proof heartache,y world keeps turnin' round
This hundred proof heartache's got me down.

You waded through my tears and said goobye
You didn't seem to care how much I'd cry
You made your home the tavern down the street
And this old heart cries out with every beat.

I've got a hundred proof heartache and a case of the blues
You're holdin' someone else tonight, I just got the news
You left a hundred proof heartache for a love that's second hand
This hundred proof heartache I can't stand.

--- Instrumental ---

I've got a hundred proof heartache my world keeps turnin' round
This hundred proof heartache's got me down...

I walked away from the wreck of our love affair
And no one knew how I was hurt because I lie
I walked away from the wreck but it broke my heart
And I'm off myself and broken inside.

And when I see you with her I still wanna scream
It's like a bad, bad dream that never seems to end
I walked away from the wreck of our love affair
But I'll never never be the same again.

--- Instrumental ---

I saw the danger ahead but I paid no mind
For it seemed such harmless fun at the start
Too fight the crowd, too much wine, too much playing round
Then came the crash and my world fell apart.

And when I see you with her I still wanna scream
It's like a bad, bad dream that never seems to end
I walked away from the wreck of our love affair
But I'll never never be the same again...

Had our number changed today
Although I hated to
But each time the phone would ring
They'd want to speak to you.

And it hurts to tell them
You're not here with me
Maybe now oh telephone
Will let me be.

It's not in the book now
So you'd better write it down
Just in case your love for me
Should ever come around.

You might want to call
And break the news to me
Just dial Lonesome
7-7203.

--- Instrumental ---

I keep the telephone
Beside me all the time
Hoping you might want to call
And say you've changed your mind.

If you do
Then darling you know where I'll be
I'm at Lonesome
7-7203.

You're the only one
I'm givin' out new number to
So now if the telephone should ring
I'll know it's you.

If you ever long for love
that used to be
just call Lonesome
7-7203...
