An Arm's Length From You
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

I'm just a smile away from crying
Whenever I'm this close to you
Just a touch away from heartache
Just an arm's length from you

I'm just a step away from sadness
A memory away from blue
A happy moment away from lonesome
Just an arm's length from you

Though I know it would be heaven
While my arms were holding you
I'm afraid you'd only leave me
I'm just a kiss from missing you

So close to something, right next to nothing
And you know how I love you
And you know you'll always find me
Just an arm's length from you

 

I'll Never Find Another You
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

I have searched a sea of faces
But not one of them replaces
That ole feeling, everytime I looked at you

Oh, how well I can remember
Your love so sweet and tender
And now I'm searching for another you

But no one seems to ease this longing
There's no feeling of belonging
Oh, how lonely is this heart
You broke in two

I only live for your returning
With each tear that falls I'm learning
That I'll never, ever find another you

 

Big Big Love
(writers: Wynn Stewart/Ray Carroll)

Can't you tell my love's a growing?
Feel it, ain't it showing?
Oh, you must be a'knowing
I've got a big, big love

It ain't the kind to be concealing
The kind to be revealing
It ain't a little bitty feeling
I've got a big, big love for you

And it's time we done some walking
And time we done some talking
Well there's a great big moon above
And we've got a big, big love

It ain't infatuation
It's true love sensation
Well, not my imagination
I've got a big, big love for you

 

Big City
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

Big city, you mean more to her than me

I'm a broken-hearted country boy
Now that she is gone
She left me for the city life
And there I don't belong
She was just a simple country girl
And I still love her so
But she chose a different way of life
And I had to let her go

To the big city, with so many things to see
Big city, you took so much from me
With your miles and miles of lights that shine
You lured her from these arms of mine
Big city, you mean more to her than me

Once she was so satisfied
With nothing more than me
But now she's where they live a way
That seems so wrong to me
My hopes and all my memories
Will never fade away
Will she ever come back here to me
Or has she gone to stay?

 

Built in Love
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

Everything in our new home is all built-in
From the kitchen down the hall into the den
But there's something you can't see
Put there by you and me
You can feel it in each room
Our built-in love

No architect could draw the plans
Just somethin' we thought of
We designed it all ourselves
This built-in love

And I thank you everyday
For keeping it this way
Let me feel it in your arms
Our built-in love

 

Cause I Have You
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

A flower needs the earth to make it grow
A river needs the rains to make it flow
A clinging vine needs something to cling to
But I have all I need cause I have you

Before we met, my life was one sad song
But you changed all that the day you came along
For a true love song needs inspiration too
And I have all I need cause I have you

Arms need more than arms to hold on to
Lips need other lips to make dreams come true
Two hearts in love will always beat in tune
And our hearts beat as one since I have you

 

Couples Only
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

I came by your house but you were gone
So I came to the dance but all alone
Through the window saw you dance across the floor
And then I saw the sign above the door

Couples only, so I guess I'll have to go
Couples only, I'm left out in the cold
I'm holding back my tears with all my might
I'm so lonely, couples only tonight

You build me up so high, then let me down
It happens everytime that he's in town
To know that you're with him just breaks my heart
And that sign above the door keeps us apart

Eyes As Big As Dallas

She came on as strong as a south Texas wind
She was nobody's lover, just everybody's friend
She had everything that any man could need
I found here in Laredo, she's like a Texas Tornado
And she had eyes as big as Dallas for me

They said trying to love her is like taming the wind
But I knew she wasn't wild, she just never gave in
She just wanted to live and remain free
I met her in Laredo, she's like a Texas tornado
and she had eyes as big as Dallas for me

They said trying to love her is like taming the wind
But I knew she wasn't wild, she just never gave in
She just wanted to live and remain free
I found her in Laredo, she's like a Texas tornado
and she's got eyes as big as Dallas for me

She's got eyes as big as Dallas for me

Happy Crazy
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

If I'd lose my mind, you'd be forgettable
The way things look right now, it's inevitable
But if I lose my mind, it's not regrettable
Cause then I'd be happy, happy crazy

I saw a man who thought he was napolean
He had a funny little smile, he laughed at everyone
As I watched him pick the petals from a daisy
I knew he was happy, happy crazy

There was no heartache, no heartbreak
And no tears in his eyes
He forgot everything he once knew
To find his peace of mind, I'd have to lose mine
Ad if I do, I'll owe it all to you

But if you come back tonight, I might be curable
And the time I wait for you might be endurable
Cause without your love I might as well be crazy
At least I'd be happy, happy crazy

Cause without your love, I might as well be crazy
At least I'd be happy, happy crazy
Thanks to you I'd be happy, happy crazy
Until you come back to me, I'll be happy crazy

 

If Tomorrow Could Be Yesterday
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

If three could be two, if one wasn't blue
If tomorrow could be yesterday
Then you'd still love me too
Like I still love you
If tomorrow could be yesterday

But I don't have the powers to turn back the hours
To the time before he met you
And if minutes were years, I've cried an ocean of tears
Cause tomorrow can't be yesterday

IT'S RAINING IN SEATTLE
(writer: Roger Murrah)
 

Don't cry, you'll wake the children
and you know  we ain't got time
how are they? Have they missed me?
I guess I was out of my mind
and I'm sorry for everything I've done
I know that I was wrong
and it's raining in Seattle, baby mind if I come home?

 

cheer up now, don't shed another tear
it hurts to here you cry
I've been a fool but I love you
so forgive me this one time
and I'll never I'll never ever leave you
so broke and all alone
and it's raining in Seattle, baby, mind if I come home?
and it's raining in Seattle, baby, please can I come home?

 

It's So Cold In Your House
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

I know I should go home now but how can I leave
There's more loneliness there than you'd ever believe
Let's talk it over, let me change your mind
It's so cold in your house and lonesome in mine

It's so cold in your house and lonesome in mine
But I'd rather have you cold than me lonely all the time
So put your arms around me just one more time
It's so cold in your house and lonesome in mine

I keep coming back to see you and I'd like to stay
But you treat me as if I'm only in your way
You don't make me feel welcome, yet you're not unkind
Do you still remember when your house was mine?

 

It's Such a Pretty World Today
(writer: Dale Noe)

It's such a pretty world today
Look at the sunshine
And everyday's the same
Since I met you

It's such a pretty world today
Knowing that you're mine
And happiness is being
Close to you

And though the rain may fall
My skies will all be blue
And if I look close enough
The sun will come shining through

It's such a pretty world today
Look at the sunshine
Today and everyday
Since I met you

 

I Won't Live That Long
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

I can't show all the love I feel within my heart
And I can't give you all you deserve, only part
You've made my life a sweet and happy song
I'd do as much for you but I won't live that long

I'd need a hundred years to tell you how great you are
And then another hundred
Proving that the words came from my heart
I'll do my best in these short years to come
To do as much for you, but I won't live that long

You're the one that made me start believing in myself
I owe my piece of mind to you and no one else
If I have strength it's you that makes me strong
I'd do as much for you, but I won't live that long

 

Just Now Thought of You
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

Just now thought of you
For no reason
My thoughts just wandered back
To me and you

Just now thought of you
For no reason
It's been a long, long time
Since I've seen you

And I wish my thoughts
Would just move on
To a different time and place
And leave old memories alone

 

Keeper of the Key
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

You have gone and yet I'm still a prisoner
Although you're with your new love, I'm not free
Cause you have locked the chain around my heart dear
And you are the keeper of the key

And love that's locked inside like mine
Burns constantly
Oh darlin', oh please come back to me
We'll lock our hearts together for a lifetime
And you'll always be the keeper of the key

 

Love Ain't Worth a Dime It's Free
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

When I met you I didn't have a thing
I didn't have the money for a ring
But you just smiled and said
That all you wanted was me

And love ain't worth a dime unless it's free
Love ain't worth a dime unless it's free
Love ain't worth a dime unless it's free
The more that it costs
The more worthless it will be
Love ain't worth a dime unless it's free
(and I know it's a fact)

Have you ever seen a sign "True love for sale"?
Have you ever ordered kisses thru the mail?
Well if you have I know that you'll agree
That love ain't worth a dime unless it's free

I said love ain't worth a dime unless it's free
You know love ain't worth a (whoa) if it ain't free
The more that it costs
The more worthless it will be
Cause love ain't worth a dime unless it's free

You know that love ain't worth a dime unless it's free
I said love ain't worth a dime unless it's free
Because the more that it costs
The more worthless it will be
Love ain't worth a dime unless it's free

I said love ain't worth a dime
It ain't worth your time
Love ain't worth a dime unless it's free

 

Loversville
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

Go with me to Loversville
It's just over kissin' hill
I love you and always will
Go with me to Loversville

Well we could be so happy there
Sweet devotion in the air
All our dreams we could fulfull
On promise lane in Loversville

Well there would just be me and you
The population will be two
True love blooming 'round our door
Soon it will be 3 or 4

Any place is Loversville
When two lovers find a thrill
I love you and always will
Go with me to Loversville

 

Ol' What's Her Name

Well I'll admit that there've been lots of pretty girls I've known
There've been lots of Flosie Mae's and Mary Jane's
But there's one that stands out above the others
Oh I'll never forget ol' what's her name

Ch: Time can never drive her from my memory
No one else could ever mean so much to me
And ever since she went away my life ain't been the same
Oh, I'll never forget ol' what's her name

When my old friends ask me what happened to her
I just smile and say, I forgot her name
But deep inside I know they can't feel the pain
Oh I'll never forget ol' what's her name

 

Playboy

THEY CALL ME A PLAYBOY
AS I'M MAKIN' MY ROUNDS
CHASING THE BRIGHT LIGHTS
OF EACH NIGHT SPOT IN TOWN
THOUGH I NEVER SHOW IT
MY HEART'S BREAKING IN TWO
THEY CALL ME A PLAYBOY
BUT I'M JUST LONESOME FOR YOU

I ONCE HAD A REAL LOVE
THAT WAS WHEN I HAD YOU
BUT I'LL NEVER FEEL LOVE
WITH SOMEBODY NEW
THIS FALSE FRONT I'M WEARING
IS JUST TO COVER MY BLUES
THEY CALL ME A PLAYBOY
BUT I'M JUST LONESOME FOR YOU

 

She Didn't Color Daddy
- written by Scotty Turner and Roy Warren (1968)

I go to see my little girl
She's all I have left in the world
And I gave her a book to color on
Her Mom and I just can't agree
So I just see her once a week
And oh, how I miss her while I'm gone

I kinda smile as I first looked
At the pictures in her book
The way she colored everything so wrong
And then a chill came over me
As I realized that she
Had colored things as she felt they belonged

And she colored Mommy blue with brown eyes crying
And she made our house as gray as the dawn
She made the sun as black as night
As if to say it gave no light
But she didn't color Daddy, I was gone, I was gone

Sing a Sad Song
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

Sing me a song of sadness
And sing it as blue as I feel
If a tear should appear
Well it's because she's not here
Sing a sad song
And sing it for me

She's unhappy with me
She told me so
And I'm unhappy without her
But I still love her so

So just sing me a song of sadness
Pretend that it's the end of the world
Sing it sweet, sing it low
For then I'll have to go
But sing a sad song
And sing it for me

 

Sing the Same Song Again
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

Sing that same song again, sing it over
I wanna feel that same mood again
So sing it over
I heard it first when she was mine
Sing it over, one more time
Though she's gone, it was our song
So sing it over

It's all I have between her memory and now
And when it plays,
I feel her with me somehow, just like now
Don't let it end, let me pretend
Though I know every line
Sing that same song again, one more time
 

Slightly Used
(writers: C. Leach-B. George-W. Stewart)

Before we slip and fall in love, I'd better caution you
I'm the kind they've warned you of, I've slipped a time or two
The stories you just can't believe though I'm guilty as accused
I've still got my pride, slightly used

It's been slightly used, but it still hurts to love and lose
It's been slightly used, but it still hurts to cry the blues
If you still want this heart of mine, than it belongs to you
With all my love, slightly used

Our destiny's are not the same, I'm bad and you're so good
One of us would have to change, I don't know if I could
And if I fail I'd drag you down, until your pride refused
Then you'd be like me, slightly used

Oh I've been slightly used but it still hurts to love and lose
I've been slightly used, but it still hurts to cry the blues
If you still want this heart of mine, than it belongs to you
With all my love, slightly used
 

Strings
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

Words don't get through to you
My calls you just ignore
I'm sorry is nothing new to you
You've heard those words before

The closest to a human voice
Is violins they say
So I'm hoping you'll come back to me
When you hear them play

These strings must relate to you
The sadness that I feel
These strings must create for you
A love that is so real

So listen, while they sing to you
The bluest melody
These strings wanna talk to you for me

 

Unfaithful Arms
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

Your unfaithful arms will be empty someday
And you'll reach for the love
That you just threw away
Your unfaithful arms in time will grow cold
And the nights will be long
You'll be all alone with no one to hold

Then (yes) when the darkness comes
And you cry for the sun
You'll think it's the end
But it's only begun

You can't turn back the years
When you've lost all your charms
And you'll find this is true
For I know that you have unfaithful arms

Then (yes) when the darkness comes
Well you're gonna cry for the sun
You'll think it's the end
But it's only begun

They may call me a fool
To take you back in my arms
But I'll always love you
Although I know that you have unfaithful arms
Yes, I'll always love you
Although I know that you have unfaithful arms

Waltz of the Angels

The waltz of the angels, I hear each time
That I hold you tightly, In these arms of mine

It must be from heaven, This music I hear
When your lips say I love you, In waltz time my dear

There must be a power, much higher than I
A writer of love songs, way up in the sky

The maker of roses, of love sweet and true
And the waltz of the angels, He wrote just for you

WE'LL NEVER LOVE AGAIN

Oh the nights I've cried, how I'd die inside
Knowing we'll never love again, love again
One mistake I've made, what a price I've paid
Knowing we'll never love again

Passion ruled my mind, made my conscience blind
And a million times, I've paid for my sins
Darlin please forgive, I don't want to live
Knowing we'll never love again

I still hear you say, as you walked away
Knowing we'll never love again, love again
I was such a fool, broke love's golden rule
Now you say, we'll never love again

When We Had Nothing
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

When we had nothing, only each other
We were so happy, just being together
We dreamed of good fortune
That would soon come our way
Though they were just dreams
Together we stayed

And then one day
The long hours of dreaming came true
All of the hard work
And disappointments were through
And I gave you everything
But then I lost you

Yes, once we had nothing
But when we had nothing
Oh, we really had something
We had me and you

Oh I wish we had nothing
Cause when we had nothing
We really had something
We had me and you

 

Why Didn't I Write That Song
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

Why didn't I write that song
I've lived every line that's in it
I even know where every word belongs
If you'll listen you can hear
My heart fall all to pieces
So why didn't I write that song

For the music paints a picture
of someone all alone
And the words all tell a story
Of a love like mine that's gone

But if I had, she'd still love me
I'd end it with her right here with me
Oh, why didn't I write that song

 

Wishful Thinking
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

Wishing I could see you again dear
That the fire of love would burn once more
But I guess that's wishful thinking
And too much to be wishing for

Just thinking how you once kissed me
Wishing that it hadn't meant goodbye
But I guess that's wishful thinking
Now I know why some people cry

I'll just live my life in dreams
And long for your love
It's you I'm wishing for
It's you I'm thinking of

My heart echoes the love words you've spoken
How I wish I could hear them from you
Won't you answer a heart that's broken
And make my wishful thinking come true

It's only wishful thinking
But please make my wishful thinking come true

 

World Wide Travelin' Man
- written by Vern Stovall

Son you're lookin' at a world-wide travelin' man
I can speak fluently the native tongue of every land
And when I'm South of the border and I wanna place an order
the waitress knows right away
that she's speaking to a travelin man when she hears me say

Ole Senorita, boo-la-voo-lan-cho-vee-ta-vonga
Che-bong-ta-jovi-mox-nix-tallyho-cucamonga
Si-Si-gitchy-goomy-ja-ja-sackio-and-lasagna
Kaya-comesta-gringo-no-wanna-wee-wee-pa-wanna

Well now son of romance, the senoritas of France
and the Fralines of ole Hong Kong
and in Old Mexico the mademoiselles all go
crazy when I come along
and it's the same in Spain, the geisha girls can't refrain
from this game this world traveler plays
cause with Spanish so fine I warp their minds
with the words I say

Ole Senorita, boo-la-voo-lan-cho-vee-ta-vonga
ichy-bong-ta-jovi-mox-nix-tallyho-cucamonga
Si-Si-gitchy-goomy-ja-ja-sackio-and-lasagna
Kaya-comesta-gringo-no-wanna-wee-wee-pa-wanna
Kaya-comesta-gringo-no-wanna-wee-wee-pa-wanna

WRONG COMPANY

I've lost the only love I've ever known
Too many nights I left her all alone
I said forgive me, one too many times
And now her parting words ___ my mind

You're with the Wrong Company they'll drag you down
You're spending too much time on the wrong side of town
Now it's your life to live, but it's my heart to give
And if you still want me, give up that wrong company

She warned me but I've wasted my last chance
And now she's gone without a backward glance
Oh how I miss the love I threw away
Every song on that jukebox seems to say

Yankee Go Home
- written by Harlan Howard

(Jan) Yankee go home, you'll never love me
I know you're just homesick and alone
Go on back to Tennessee
To your pretty bride to be
You don't love me, So Yankee go home

(Wynn) Yankee go home
Those words still haunt me
For I told her she was right and walked away
But now that I'm back home I find
I just can't get her off my mind
For each night in dreams I always hear her saying

(Jan) You don't me love, so Yankee go home
Yankee go home, you'll never love me
Your heart is miles away across the phone
I love you with all my heart
But the time has come to part
You don't love me, so Yankee go home

(Wynn) Yankee go home, she stood there crying

And to my shame I turned and walked away
But now I'm going back across the sea
Cause she's the only girl for me
And when we're wed, she never more will say

(Jan) You don't love me, so Yankee go home

You Kiss Me Like You've Waving Goodbye
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

I was a fool to ever think
that you could ever really love me
And believe those loves letters that you signed
Your kisses are much colder now
and feeling is believing
And I believe you got a new love on your mind

Cause you kiss me like you're waving goodbye
Just the thought of your sweet lips
Makes me wanna cry
You'll never stay here in my arms
Cause kisses never lie
And you kiss me like you're waving goodbye

 

Young As Spring
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

I just heard a robin sing
Although it's much too soon
But it's spring within my heart
Because I'm so in love with you

It's not that time of year
But I can hear that robin sing
My love for you is always new
And just as young as spring

Though it may rain and snow I know
Our love just won't grow cold
It will always be the same
And it will never grow old

The years may come and go
but oh, what happiness they'll bring
With you each day I'll always stay
Just as young as spring

 

You're That Someone Else
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

If you ever change your mind
and want me back again
And to forgive for all the times
you've made me cry
What will I do
if I should have somebody else by then?
Well tell me how to tell that someone else goodbye

How do you walk away and leave them crying?
And just break a heart without a reason why
Well I'd like to know
cause if you ever want me back again
You're that someone else I'll have to tell goodbye

 

You Told Him
(writer: Wynn Stewart)

Not long ago I opened up my heart and you walked in
Then suddenly I saw my happy days slip away
The talk that's going 'round
Has finally found it's way to me
If you loved him, why didn't you tell me

But you told him, he told them
They told me and I believe
They could hear my heart break as I was standing there

You told him, he told them
They're asking me, how can it be
You could love her so much when she don't care

To think I thought I'd finally found
true love and it was you
With you my future didn't look so dim until when
I learned I was your leaning post
While you held on to him
And you were telling him the sweet things
You one told me
