----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
That's what they tell me
That's what they say
#01)

And as I walked along the thoroughfare
There was music playing everywhere
The music came from within my heart
How did it happen, how did it start
#02)

Just the mention of your name
Turns the flicker to a flame
#03)

Don't go away
Let's get together once again
This is the way to make a friend
Oh, if you're ever feeling blue
This is advice I give to you
#04)

Take a walk around the corner
Where the cats all stop
Where you dig the juicy ribs
And then you'll dance that bop
#05)

I loved you dearly
Why did we have to part
Now I am lonely
Here with a broken heart
#06)

I see you in the moonlight
I see you in the trees
Oh how is it possible
To love just a dream
#07)

I'll spend each lonely night
Longin' to hold you tight
Morning finds me crying
To the sun
#08)

We used to have good times together
But now I feel them slip away
#09)

Soon you'll be cryin'
On account of all your lyin'
Oh, yeah, just look who's laughing now
#10)

There's nothing left for me
Of days that used to be
They're just a memory
#11)

I'm gonna love you
(Gonna love you in every way)
In every way
(Gonna love you in every way)
I'm gonna love you
(Gonna love you in every way)
In every way
(Gonna love you in every way)
#12)

Seasons change and so did I
You need not wonder why
#13)

But once you're in my arms, you'll see
No one can kiss your lips the way I will
#14)

I wondered should I go or should I stay
The band had only one more song to play
#15)

Someday, when I'm awfully low
And the world is cold, I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you
#16)

Well, it's true, so true
I didn't do right by you
Guess I didn't know the right thing to do
#17)

Day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right
#18)

Hey, grab yourself a partner, lose the blues
Wear your store-bought clothes and your stomping shoes
Better head for the hills, gonna blow my fuze
Hooo, I'm gonna shout
#19)

She holds up her apron in little girl fashion
As something comes into her mind
And slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
#20)

Put your hands on your hips
Let your backbone slip
#21)

But it's different now
I've kissed you now
So forgive me
Forgive me somehow
#22)

I guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
#23)

Let her run around
Until the day she's found
She needs me back again
But this I ask 'til then
#24)

He said, "I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
'Cause I drinks a bit"
#25)

Now, when all of the flower ladies want back what they have lent you
And the smell of their roses does not remain
And all of your children start to resent you
Won't you come see me
#T1)

She cried, "Ooooooooooooooo whee, I believe I'll change my mind"?
#T2)
