TAKE ME AS I AM (OR LET ME GO)

(Boudleaux Bryant)

« © '54 Acuff-Rose Music »



Take me as I am or let me go

Why must you always try to make me over

Take me as I am or let me go

White lilies never grow on stalks of clover

Take me as I am or let me go

You're trying to reshape me in a mold love

In the image of someone you used to know

But I won't be a standing for an old love

Take me as I am or let me go

(Take me as I am or let me go)

You've tried to change me ever since you met me

Take me as I am or let me go

If you can't overlook my faults forget me

Take me as I am or let me go

You're trying to reshape me...

WHERE DID THE SUNSHINE GO

(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant)

« © '55 Acuff-Rose Music »



Where did the sunshine go why is it raining so

Where is the love I used to know where did the sunshine go

Where did the sunshine go why do the cold winds blow

Where is the one I needed so where did the sunshine go



I discovered the sunshine in a woman's loving smile

Like a fool I thought the sun had come to stay

Then she fell for another and the sun went out of style

And the springtime vanished when I went away



Where did the sunshine go...



Now there's mothing but heartaches in the whole wide lonely earth

Anyway my blue world looks that way to me

Gone is all of the sunshine and the smile that gave it birth

Leaving nothingbut a cold cold misery



Where did the sunshine go...

MAKING THE ROUNDS

(Boudleaux Bryant)

« © '57 House Of Bryant »



I'm making the rounds with someone new now that you've gone away

But I'm making the rounds it's not the fun if it wasn't with you

The glamour has gone from all the spots the seem so bright and gay

But I'm making the rounds is all that's left for me to do



I never go home till the lost long hidaway place has closed its door

There's too much at home to remind me that we're through

I'll laugh and pretend that I'm not wishing for a bygone day

Where we were in love and I was making the rounds with you

[ steel ]

I never go home...

LOVIN' LIES

(Dorothy Chapman - Troy Martin - Pete Pyle)

« © '49 Peer International »



I'll never understand dear as long as I live

I guess I will always wonder why

You told me that you loved me straight from your heart

And then without a warning said goodbye



Loving lies that I believed and now how I grieve

You didn't mean them from the start

But you told me loving lies and broke my heart

[ steel ]

You say I'll soon forget you and find somebody new

But darling oh how wrong you are

I've only had one love dear and it was for you

And from that love my heart will bear a scar



Loving lies that I believed...

JUST WHEN I NEEDED YOU

(Johnny Wright - Jack Anglin - Clyde Baum)

« © '48 Hill & Range Songs »



Just when I needed you you left and went away

You made my life so blue both night and day

You left me here behind with a troubled worried mind

So broken hearted too just when I needed you



I cried I cried I prayed and I tried to forget you and never call your name

What a shame what a shame you're the one who was to blame

You're the one who proved untrue just when I needed you

[ harmonica ]

You said it's best we part and never love again

And though it broke my heart I won't complain

You know I love you still and dear I always will

Although you proved untrue just when I needed you



I cried I cried I prayed and I tried...

MY HEART'S BOUQUET

(Jimmy Dickens - J. Gordon Hall)

« © '49 Acuff-Rose Music »



I was just a gay young fellow when I fell my pretty flower

Going in a field of love one day

When she told me that loved me and I knew must tell

So I picked her for my heart's bouquet



We have faced the years together sharing all our joy and sorrow

She has been my pride along the way

Through it all she has to guide me never one time has she fell

Since I picked her for my heart's bouquet



She's my heart's bouquet my heart's bouquet

I picked her from a field of love one day

I loved her then and I love her still cross my heart I always will

She's my darling she's heart's bouquet



Whe nold age has crept the pose and the years show in our face

When her golden hair has turned to grey

She'll still be my precious darling and I'll love her more than else

Just the same she'll be my heart's bouquet



She's my heart's bouquet...
