Two Glasses, Joe Composer(s): Cindy Walker Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Leon Rausch
Set up two glasses, Joe And turn the jukebox low And let me set here and reminisce While, I pretend that she is still sitting here with me The way she did not long ago
We use to paint the town red And dance until two I dont paint it red no more But Im paintin it blue
He stole her love, I know But he cant stop me, Joe From having just a dream or two
Setup two glasses, Joe Maybe you didnt know But theres a memory in the room A memory that walks A memory that talks And haunts me everywhere I go
Im just a fool that loves her And will till I die From the very first hello until the last goodbye
And this is it you know So, fill Two Glasses, Joe Then leave me here alone to cry
Ich Bin Von Kopf Bis Fuss Auf Liebe Eingestellt English Title: Falling In Love Again - 1930 Composer(s): Friedrich Holländer First recording/First release by: Marlene Dietrich - 1929/1930 Covered by multiple other artists
Ein rätselhafter Schimmer Ein "je ne sais-pas-quoi" Liegt in den Augen immer Bei einer schönen Frau Doch wenn sich meine Augen Bei einem vis-à-vis Ganz tief in seine saugen Was sprechen dann sie?
Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß Auf Liebe eingestellt Denn das ist meine Welt Und sonst gar nichts Das ist, was soll ich machen Meine Natur Ich kann halt lieben nur Und sonst gar nichts
Männer umschwirr'n mich Wie Motten um das Licht Und wenn sie verbrennen, Ja dafür kann ich nicht Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß Auf Liebe eingestellt Ich kann halt lieben nur Und sonst gar nichts
Was bebt in meinen Händen In ihrem heißen Druck? Sie möchten sich verschwenden Sie haben nie genug Ihr werdet mir verzeihen Ihr müßt' es halt versteh'n Es lockt mich stets von neuem Ich find' es so schön!
Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß Auf Liebe eingestellt Denn das ist meine Welt Und sonst gar nichts Das ist, was soll ich machen Meine Natur Ich kann halt lieben nur Und sonst gar nichts
Männer umschwirr'n mich Wie Motten um das Licht Und wenn sie verbrennen Ja dafür kann ich nichts Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß Auf Liebe eingestellt Ich kann halt lieben nur Und sonst gar nichts Ow

Two Girls Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt First release: Townes Van Zandt - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, the clouds didn't look like cotton they didn't even look like clouds I was underneath the weather my friends looked a crowd The swimmin' hole was full of rum I tried to find out why All I learned was this my friend you got to swim before you fly
I got two girls one's in heaven and one's below Oh, one I love with all my heart and one I do not know
Two lonesome dudes on an ugly horse Passed by not long ago They asked me where the action was I said I did not know As they disappeared into the brush I heard the driver say He's a little slow between the ears He's always been that way
Jolly Jane just lays around and listens with her mouth she's had about a dozen husbands but the last one pulled out Now, who's gonna bring her dinner through the weary years ahead all she'll get from me is sympathy got no time to see she's fed
It's cold down on the bayou they say it's in your mind but the moccasins are treadin' ice and leavin strange designs Cajuns say the last time that this happend they weren't here All Beaumont's full of penguins and I'm a-playin' it by ear

Waitress, Waitress
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant
Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens
Waitress, Waitress, pretty little waitress
Get my order right
Give me turnip greens and a bowl full of beans
And a date with you tonight
Waitress, Waitress, pretty little waitress
You're sure looking pert
I want a slice of ham and a candy jam
With a kiss for my dessert
You're the prettiest thing I've ever seen
You're bubbling over with charm
You belong on a cover of a magazine
Or better yet my arm
Waitress, Waitress, pretty little waitress
Say when you'll be through
And no matter how late I'll be here waiting
Just outside for you
Waitress, waitress, apple of my eye
Here's a 20 cent tip for you
I could sit for days
And never quit gazing in your eyes of blue
Why you're slinging that coffee and pie
I'll never, never know
You could be the queen of a movie screen
Or a television show
You're a uniform angel, you're a dream
You're heavenly beautiful too
Honey, we'd go together like peaches and cream
Under a lover's moon
Waitress, Waitress, pretty little waitress
Say when you'll be through
And no matter how late I'll be here waiting
Just outside for you
You're the prettiest thing I've ever seen
You're bubbling over with charm
You belong on a cover of a magazine
Or better yet my arm
Waitress, Waitress, pretty little waitress
Say when you'll be through
And no matter how late I'll be here waiting
Just outside for you
Kiss An Angel Good Morning Composer(s): Ben Peters Performer(s): Charley Pride; and various other artists
When ever I chance to meet some old friends on the street They wonder how does a man get to feel this way I've always got a smiling face anytime & any place And every time they ask me why I just smile & say
You've got to kiss an angel good morning And let her know you think about her when you're gone Kiss an angel good morning And love her like the devil when you get back home
Well people may try to guess, the secret of my happiness But some of them never learn it's a simple thing The secret that I'm speaking of, is a woman & a man in love And the answer is in this song that I always sing

I got two eyes in the corner Two eyes looking at me Don't hide in the corner Bring those two eyes closer closer Two arms wanna hold you Two lips wanna kiss kiss Waiting for the moment I say "yes, please" Two eyes!
Dig those linkers, dig those winkers Such expression, this impression That you're making's got me shaking I'm yours for the taking
I got two eyes in the corner Two eyes looking at me Don't hide in the corner Bring those two eyes closer closer Two arms wanna hold you Two lips wanna kiss Waiting for the moment I say "yes, please" Two eyes!

Two Dreams Met Performer(s): Mitchell Ayres & Perry Como
Two dreams met They knew of two hearts that were lonely That could be so happy If only they found romance Two dreams met They said we must go out and find them And then as we tiptoe behind them We'll make them dance A band was softly playing Sweet music filled the air "Turn around," my dream kept saying I did, and you were there Then two hearts met A beautiful love affair started The dreams winked their eyes and departed They knew that their work was done For two lonely hearts were one
