Why Can't He Be You Composer(s): Hank Cochran Performer(s): Patsy Cline; Norah Jones; Loretta Lynn; Reba McEntire
He takes me to the places you and I used to go He tells me over and over that he loves me so He gives me love that I never got from you He loves me too, his love is true Why can't he be you
He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind And I'm lucky to have such a guy; I hear it all the time And he does all the things that you would never do He loves me, too, his love is true Why can't he be you
He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul And I should love him so, 'cause he loves me, I know But his kisses leave me cold
He sends me flowers, calls on the hour, just to prove his love And my friends say when he's around, I'm all he speaks of And he does all the things that you would never do He loves me too, his love is true Why can't he be you

Why Build A Wall 'Round A Graveyard? Composer(s): Leslie Sarony Performer(s): Leslie Sarony; and various other artists
Here's a contortionist, Filleted Pete Tried only too well to make both his ends meet
Charlie the taximan lies over there Wherever he's gone to, he'll say it's "No Fare"
Here lies a heavyweight under the ground With a circular saw only lasted one round
Here lies a butcher named Timothy Wights A nice piece of skirt quickly put out his lights
R - I - P, that's another good feller gone west R - I - P, with a blinkin' great slab on his chest
So......
Why build a wall 'round a graveyard When nobody wants to get in? Why build a wall round a graveyard When nobody wants to get out? They say its a beautiful haven of rest But you know that you'll be a permanent guest So, why build a wall round a graveyard When nobody wants to get in?
Why build a wall round a graveyard When no body wants to get in? Why build a wall round a graveyard When no body wants to get out? "You're not dead but sleeping", they put it with care But no body calls you at nini o'clock there So, why build a wall round a graveyard When no body wants to get out?
Vietnam Blues Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson Performer(s): Dave Dudley; Autry Inman; Robert Pete Williams
I was out on the leave at the time just duckin' the fog nosin' around like a hungry dog In that crazy place called Washington DC I saw a crowd of people on the White House lawn all carrying signes about VietNam So I went over to see what was goin' on It was a strange looking bunch but then I never could understand some people Oh a fellow came to me with a list in his hand he said we're gatherin' names to send The telegram of sympathy then he handed me a pen I said I reckon this is goin' to kids and wives My friends over there who're givin' their lives He said ah ah buddy this is goin' to Ho-Chi-Min I said Ho-Chi who he said Ho-Chi-Min people's leader North VietNam Oh I wasn't really sure I was hearin' him right I though I'd better move before I got in a fight Cause my ears were hurtin' and my ball started hit my lick Then I thought of another telegram that I've just read Tellin' my buddy's wife that her husband was dead It wasn't too long till I was feelin' downright sick Another held the sign that said we won't fight I thought to myself boy ain't that right To leave a lot of our soldiers die instead I said it's a shame that every man who ever died up there that far off land Was dyin' for that you wouldn't have to wake up dead Course he looked at me like I was kinda crazy just another warmonger Oh I left that place and I went downtown and hit first bar that I'd found To cool myself off and pacify my brain You see I was on orders to VietNam little old place just north to Saigon Had about an hour to catch myself a plane So all I mean to say is I don't like dyin' either but man I ain't gonna craw

All My Love Composer(s): Harry Akst - Saul Chaplin - Al Jolson Performer(s): Al Jolson
All my love is for you alone It will still keep growing when most other loves have flown! All my love is for ever new It was just created, my dear, to be shared with you!
As the years unfold, they can only bring Just the constant joy of an endless Spring And our dreams untold that are so ideal Will all fade as we make them real!
I promise this by the stars above Hear that I'll spend my life giving you all my love!
All my love is for you alone It will still keep growing when most other loves have flown! All my love is for ever new It was just created, my dear, to be shared with you!
Why Composer(s): Appaiah Biddu Performer(s): Tina Charles
Why does my heart feel this way Everytime you walk by it's always The same oh why do I tremble with it Send a shiver through my skin Is this how loves begins why Does this feeling exists I'm unable To resist what's happening to me
Why do I feel so alike and our being makes Me rise by the stars in your eyes I can't stop don't wanna stop what's going Through me like a kitten up a tree want you come and rescue me
Why does this feeling accured it is something You start deep within me Oh why do I trip on more time give a certains I am dying now I know your why
Why does my heart beat his way everytime you Walk by it's always the same Oh why do I tremble with it send a shiver Through my skin is this how loves begins Why oh why

Whose Shoulder Will You Cry On Composer(s): Billy Wallace; Kitty Wells Performer(s): Kitty Wells; and various other artists
Once you were my life and breath
and you rode your free horse to death Oh you trifled around too much then you lost your loving touch Now whose shoulder will you cry on You didn't love me all alone cause you can't love and do me wrong I don't trust you no more so go knock on another's door And whose shoulder will you cry on
Just let those hot tears burn your eyes they're just payments on the line That made a wreck of me from that chain I've been set free Now whose shoulder will you cry on You didn't love me all alone...

You walked in on the sly Scopin' for love In the crowd, I caught your eye You can't hide your stuff
You came to catch You thought I'd be naive and tame You met your match I beat you at your own game
(chorus) Who's zoomin' who, take another look, tell me baby Who's zoomin who...oh Who's zoomin' who, now the fish jumped off the hook Didn't I baby...Who's zoomin' who (repeat)
Guess you believed the world Played by your rules Here stands an experienced girl Nobody's fool...
Don't speculate you thought you had me covered, but I've got your bait You're bound to be my lover...oh (chorus)
You think you're smooth That you can pick and choose When the time is right... But, just look behind, you'll be surprised to find I'm gonna make you mine tonight...oh (chorus)
