(C. Isaak)

*Western stars light up the sky 
Hear the desert wind roll by 
Tonight, tonight 

Western stars can break your heart 
They keep shinin' when we're apart 
Tonight, tonight 

I watch, I wait 
How long will my heart ache 
Tonight, oh tonight 
I watch, I wait 
My heart is bound to break 
Tonight 

Western stars light up the sky 
Tonight I'm alone to cry 
Tonight 

I watch, I wait 
My heart is bound to break 
Tonight 

(repeat*) 


. . .


(Roger Miller)

Someday I won't come runnin' 
When you call 
The way you hurt me 
It's a wonder I'm still here at all 

Someday you'll wake up 
And you'll find yourself alone 
Lock, stock and teardrops 
I'll be gone 

I can't go on 
The way you make me feel 
You make me cry 
And every time expect me to forgive 

Someday you'll wake up 
To a cold and lonely dawn 
Lock, stock and teardrops 
I'll be gone 

Oh someday I'll wake up 
And find the strength to carry on 
And lock, stock and teardrops 
I'll be gone 

Lock, stock and teardrops 
Lock, stock and teardrops 
Lock, stock and teardrops 

. . .


(Bob Wills/Cindy Walker)

** 
When it's sugarcane time 
And around about June 
I'll be walkin' with my sugar 
'Neath that old sugar moon 

All the lovin' I missed 
I'll be gettin' it soon 
I'll be gettin' it from my sugar 
'Neath that old sugar moon 


I can see us right now 
Get the calendar down 
(And) Draw a circle around 
The day we're heaven bound 
When it's sugarcane time 
And around about June 
All the birds will be singin' 
'Neath that old sugar moon 

(repeat*) 


. . .


(Frank Loesser)

I wish I didn't love you so 
My love for you 
Should have ended long ago 

I wish I didn't need your kiss 
Why must your kiss 
Torture me as long as this 

*I might be smiling by now 
With some new tender friend 
Smiling by now 
With my heart on the mend 
But when I try 
Something in my heart says no 
You're still there 
I wish I didn't love you so 

(repeat *) 


. . .


Waltz me once again
"Round that dance floor
Make my head go spinnin' 'roud
Dance me over by that bandstand
'Cause I love that twin fiddle sound

When we're dancin' close
Cheek to cheek
My head gets woozy
And my knees get weak
Waltz me once again
'Round that dance floor
Make my head go spinnin' 'round
It's Friday night
And the joint is swingin'
Inside these swingin' doors
And all the cowpokes they're a dancin'
And slippin' 'round this sawdust floor

But you better watch out
Who you let cut in
'Cause you might loose your baby
To your best friend
Well, waltz me once again
'Round that dance floor
Make my head go spinnin' 'round

We spin around, 'round and 'round
Dancin' all night long
The music stopped at three o'clock
But some fool turned that jukebox on

Waltz me once again
'Round the dance floor
We'll dance all night long

. . .


(Sonny Burke/Paul Francis Webster)

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome 
Haven't slept a wink 
I walk the floor from nine to four 
In between I drink 
Black coffee 
Love's a hand-me-down brew 
I'll never know a Sunday 
In this weekday room 

I'm talkin to the shadow 
One o'clock till four 
And Lord, how slow the moments go 
And all I do is pour 
Black coffee 
Since the blues caught my eye 
I'm hangin' out on Monday 
My Sunday dreams to dry 

Now man was born to go a lovin' 
But was a woman born to weep and fret 
And stay at home and tend her oven 
And down her past regrets 
In coffee and cigarettes 

I'm moonin' all the mornin' 
Moanin' all the night 
And in between it's nicotine 
And not much heart to fight 
Black coffee 
Feelin' low as the ground 
It's drivin' me crazy 
This thinkin' 'bout my baby 
Might maybe come around 

. . .


(Charles Tobias)

I'm a shadow since you're gone 
Just a shadow in the dawn 
That breaks in the sand 
A shadow lost in shadowland 

My poor heart just flew away 
When it realized one day 
The dreams that we planned 
Would only end in shadowland 

I always wondered 
Why you had to go 
Whatever blunder I mad 
I don't know 
I guess that something 
Turned out wrong 
Didn't quite belong 
In this lover's song 

I'm a shadow, but you know 
I'm the one who loves you so 
So please, take my hand 
And lead me out of shadowland 

. . .


(Slim Wallet)


Don't let the stars get in your eyes 
Don't let the moon break your heart 
Love blooms at night 
In daylight it dies 
Don't let the stars get in your eyes 
Oh keep your heart for me 
For someday I'll return 
And you know (see) you're the only one 
I'll ever love 

Too many nights, too many stars 
Too many moons could change your mind 
If I'm gone too long 
Don't forget where you belong 
when the stars come out 
Remember you are mine 

(repeat *) 

Too many miles, too many days 
Too many nights to be alone 
Oh please keep your heart 
While we're apart 
Don't linger in the moonlight 
While I'm gone 


. . .


(Fred Tobias/Charles Tobias)

Tears don't care who cries them 
They don't care at all 
Any time a heart starts breaking 
They will fall and fall 

Rich man, poor man, beggar 
Tears can fill each eye 
They don't care who cries them 
You just cry, cry, cry 


Once my love and dreams 
Were in your keeping 
Then you walked away 
With someone new 
Once you laughed at me 
When (While) I was weeping 
What happened to me 
Has happened to you 
Tears don't care who cries them 
But my eyes are dry 
I'm laughing now while you learn how 
To cry, cry, cry 


. . .


(Harlan Howard/Billy Walker)

The coffee's all gone 
And my eyes burn like fire 
It's way past the hour 
When most folks retire 
You told me you'd call me 
But you haven't yet 
And I'm down to my last cigarette 

I'm down to my last cigarette 
For I know what made you forget 
You're still out there somewhere 
With someone you met 
And I'm down to my last cigarette 

I can't leave this room 
You might call while I'm gone 
The minutes seem like hours 
Its soon will be dawn 
And on top of all 
Of my tears and regrets 
I'm down to my last cigarette 

I'm down to my last cigarette 
And I'm trying so hard to forget 
But you're still out there somewhere 
With someone you met 
And I'm down to my last cigarette 

. . .


(Stewart MacDougall)

I'd have time on my hands 
Time to make some plans 
Time to take a different point of view 
Time to take a walk 
And time to sit and talk 
But you know I'm too busy bein' blue 

I'd have time to fool around 
time to paint the town 
Time to spend each night 
With someone new 
Time to be alone 
And time to stay out all night long 
But you know I'm too busy bein' blue 

I'd have time to leave behind 
For to you and all your kind 
Time to leave behind the world we knew 
But I'm still occupied 
Just rememberin' how we cried 

. . .


In The Evening(When The Sun Goes Down) 
L. Carr/D. Raye 
You Nearly Lose Your Mind 
E. Tubb 
Blues Stay Away From Me 
A. Delmore/R. Delmore/W. Raney/H. Glover

In the evenin', in the evenin' 
Baby, when the sun goes down 
In the evenin', in the evenin' 
Baby, when the sun goes down 
Ain't it lonesome, ain't it lonesome 
When your baby can't be found 

Well, now if you love your baby 
And you treat him right 
But he keeps on fussin' at you 
Every day and night 
He's gonna trifle on you 

Oh come on in Miss Kitty 

They'll do it every time 
And when your baby starts to steppin' 
Lord, you really lose your mind 

Now if your baby's mean 
Take a tip from me 
Wanna lock him up at home 
And throw away the key 
He's gonna trifle on you 
Trifle on you 
They'll do it every time 
And when your baby starts to steppin' 
Lord, you really lose your mind 

Blues stay away from me 
Blues why don't you let me be 
Don't know why you keep a hauntin' me 

Love was never meant for me 
True love was never meant for me 
Seems somehow we never can agree 

Where's my baby, where's my darlin' 
Baby, where you been so long 
Where's my baby, where's my darlin' 
Baby, where you been so long 
Drop the money in the jukebox 
And play another honky tonky song 

Yeah 

Ain't that right, Loretta?
