Loretta Lynn Album

I've seen him as he awakens in the morning
He reaches out his hand and without a word
As his fingers softly fall upon my face
He lights the flame of desire and makes me want him

And love is the foundation we lean on
All you need is love to ease your mind
And does it have to be right to be called love
When he gives me more loving
Then a lifetime of looking could ever find.

And love is the foundation we lean on
All you need is love to ease your mind
And does it have to be right to be called love
When he gives me more loving
Then a lifetime of looking could ever find...

(Carl Knight)

Now lately, I've been wonderin' honey, why you don't come home
At the end of the day when your work is through
So yesterday, when the sun went down the moon rose on your trail
It just dawned on me what sundown does to you.

It just dawned on me what sundown does to you
It puts a clear in your eyes somehow I could never do
You wanna lean on the jukebox, sip on a cool one
And hang around a place where you just might find one.
It dawned on me what sundown does to you.

--- Instrumental ---

Now honey, you know sundown falls on everyone
When I say everyone well that includes me to
So tonight when that old moon comes out
You can bet I'll be cut out too
It just dawned on me what sundown does to you.

It just dawned on me what sundown does to you
It puts a clear in your eyes somehow I could never do
You wanna lean on the jukebox, sip on a cool one
And hang around a place where you just might find one.
It dawned on me what sundown does to you.

Well, it dawned on me what sundown does to you...

With each day I miss you a little bit more
I love you, I love you
I just can't forget won't try as before
I love you, I love you.

With mem'ries that somehow won't die
The loneliness won't let me try
Oh, the hours go slowly even I seem to cry
I love you, I love you.

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, with mem'ries that somehow won't die
The loneliness won't let me try
Oh, the hours go slowly even I seem to cry
I love you, I love you.
I love you, I love you...

(Carol Jones)

I realize how difficult it is for you
To take me as I am
And knowin' that you're not the first to love me
Makes the difference in a man.

But I feel no shame or guilty conscience
Knowing the way my moral stand
But my one big mistake in life is
Just to satisfy the weakness ina man.

So here I am now
You're all of my yesterdays
Just take my hand
If you can't see yourself with me.

I know my past must hurt you
But baby, I do the best I can
To live with things I did before
Without a wedding ring upon my hand.

Oh, you know it seems so funny
That the story should end as it began
But my one big mistake in life was settin' down my strenght
Just to satisfy the weakness in a man

--- Instrumental ---

So here I am
You're all of my yesterdays
Just take my hand
If you can't see yourself with me...

(K. L. Starr - B. Hampton)

Tell me that you don't mean the things that you say
You say you want to forgive me so you're leaving today
You don't even see these tears that blind my sight
And you don't know there's more to leaving than just saying goodbye.

You know the love that I gave was a true one
But you grew restless for a differnet kind of love
So I cling to my dreams while my heart slowly dies
Don't you know there's more to leaving than just saying goodbye.

Don't you know there's more to leavin' than sayin' goodbye
Lonely will follow and sadness will go where you go
Your heart will think your eyes have nothing to do but cry
'Cause there's no such more to leaving than just saying goodbye...

(John Volinkaty)

Satin sheets to lie on, satin pillows to cry on
But still I'm not happy don't you see
Big long Cadillacs, pretty clothes upon my back
But still I want you to set you free.

I found another man who can give me more than you can
So you've given everything that money can buy
But your money can't hold me tight like he does on a long long night
No you didn't keep me satisfied.

Satin sheets to lie on, satin pillows to cry on
But still I'm not happy don't you see
Big long Cadillacs, pretty clothes upon my back
But still I want you to set you free.

Oh, but still I want you to set you free...

(Kris Kristofferson)

Why me Lord, what have I ever done
To deserve even one of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do that was worth loving you
Or the kindness you've shown.

Lord, help me Jesus, I've wasted it
So help me Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed you
So help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.

Try me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to repay all I've taken from you
Maybe Lord, I can show someone else what I've been through myself
On my way back to you.

Lord, help me Jesus, I've wasted it
So help me Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed you
So help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.

Jesus my soul's in your hand...

[No lyrics]

(Marty Robbins)

It's too late but something tells me I was wrong
For doing the one thing that I did
Ah I'd prove I can I had let you have your way
And I gave everything that a girl in love should never give.

When we made love it brought the meanings to my life
You taught me a brand new way to live
Ah now it's debtful if I'll ever be your wife
And I gave everything that a girl in love should never give.

I gave you the part of me that no one else had touched
Because I loved you and you said you wanted me so much
Now you've changed and it's because of what I did
I gave everything that a girl in love should never give.

You don't know the hurt you've put deep in the heart of me
You've got what you wanted now you want no part of me
Mhm now you've changed and it's because of what I did
I gave everything that a girl in love should never give...

Well, goodbye tubs and clothes lines, goodbye pots and pans
I'm a gonna take a greyhound bus, as further as I can
I ain't a gonna wash no windows and I ain't a gonna scrub no floors
And when you realize I'm gone, I'm a gonna hear you roar.

And you'll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey Loretta, don't leave me alone
Hey Loretta, I swear I'm a gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home.

I work my fingers to the bone and we don't hardly speak
And all I ever get is just a little kiss about once a week
So you can feed the chickens and you can milk the cow
This a woman's liberation, honey is a gonna start right now.

And you'll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey Loretta, don't leave me alone
Hey Loretta, I swear I'm a gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home.

I'll dress up like a movie star and pretty up my hair
And no one here is a gonna know what I'll be doing there
I'll be swinging from a chandelier and bouncin' off the walls
Instead of lovin' just one man I'm a gonna love 'em all.

And you'll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey Loretta, don't leave me alone
Hey Loretta, I swear I'm a gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home...

(Jay Lee Webb - Johnny Wilson)

I've seen you walkin' through the door
A thousand times before
But you're still here with me
And each time my tears began
This could really be the end
Oh, I just know you're gone.

But each time you start to leave
You turn around and look at me
And my love is there to see
I run into your arms once more
Kike so many times before
And you're still loving me

With all the hurt that I have shown
It's a wonder you're not gone
But you're still here with me
All the mean things that I say
It must be hard for you to stay
It's made me love you more.

I'm gonna make it up to you
Love you like you want me to
Anything you ask I'll do
We must be doing something right
'Cause you're here with me tonight
And you're still loving me.

And I thank God for sending you to me
You're the understanding love that I need
And everything I took away
I gave it back to yesterday
And I thank God that you're still loving me...
