Faded Love
(Words & music: Bob Willis / John Willis)

As I read the letter, oh, that you wrote to me
Well, it's you, it's you that I'm thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so sweet
I remember our faded love.

I miss you, darling, more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat, I still think of you
And remember our faded love.

As I think of the past
All the pleasures that we had
As I watch the mating of the doves
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye
I remember our faded love.

I miss you, darling, more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat, I still think, think of you
And remember our faded love
I remember our faded love
I remember our faded love.

Fairytale
(Words & music: Anita Pointer / Bonnie Pointer)

I'll pack up all my things and walk away
I don't want to hear another word
You have to say
I've been waiting for so long
I just found out there's something wrong
And nothing will get better if I stay.

There's no need to explain anymore
I tried my best to love you
Now I'm walking out the door
You used me, you deceived me
And you never seemed to need me
But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go.

Seems I've been lost in a dream
Pretending that you care
(But now I've opened up my eyes)
And found it's all been just a great big fairytale.

I've been lovin' you so long
I don't think I'd even know how to forget you
Yeah, the way the things have been
I think I'm better off alone
Than to be with you
(You don't love me it's plain to see).

There's no need explaining anymore
I tried my best to love you
Now I'm walking out the door
Yeah, you used me, you deceived me
And you never seemed to need me
But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go.

(Seems like I've been lost in a dream)
Yeah, pretending that you care
(Someday you'll open up your eyes)
And realize a good man is hard to find.

Fame And Fortune
(Words & music: Fred Wise / Ben Weisman)

Fame and fortune
How empty they can be
But when I hold you in my arms
That's heaven to me.

Who cares for fame and fortune?
They're only passing things
But the touch of your lips on mine
Makes me feel like a king.

Your kind of love
Is a treasure I hold
It's so much greater
Than silver or gold.

I know that I'd have nothing
If you should go away
But to know that you love me brings
Fame and fortune my way.

But to know that you love me brings
Fame and fortune my way.

Farther Along
(Words & music: J.R. Baxter, Jr. / W.B. Stevens / Arranged by Elvis Presley)

(We'll understand it all by and by)
Tempted and tried we're oft' made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested, though in the wrong.

Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brothers live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by.

When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year.

Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brothers live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by.

Fever
(Words & music: John Davenport / Eddie Cooley)

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear.

You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night.

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right.

You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night.

Ev'rybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago.

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said, »Julie, baby, you're my flame.«

»Thou givest fever when we kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever, I'm on fire
Fever, yeah I burn forsooth.«

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said, »Daddy, oh don't you dare.«

»He gives me fever with his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his missus,
Oh, daddy, won't you treat him right.«

Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Cats were born to give chicks fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade.

We give you fever when we kiss you
Fever if you live and learn
Fever, till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn.

What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn.

Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers
(Words & music: Dory Jones / Ollie Jones)

Finders keepers, losers weepers
I won't weep and I won't moan
'Cause I found you
And your love so true
And I'm keeping you for my own.

Heads I win or tails I lose
I bet my heart to win your love
The day you kissed me
Good luck was with me
And I thank my lucky stars above.

I'm not the kind to play for fun
I only play for keeps
And I'm a-keeping all the love I won.

Finders keepers, losers weepers
The loser has to pay the score
He lost you
And I found you
And I'm a-keeping you forever more.

I'm not the kind to play for fun

He lost you

And I'm a-keeping you forever more.

Find Out What's Happening
(Words & music: Jerry Crutchfield)

Baby, you know me well
You know I mean what I say
Before I say farewell
I'll give you just another day.

You'd better find out what's happening
Find out what's happening before long, oh yeah
If you don't find out what's happening
You're gonna find out that I've gone, now
Oh yeah.

We've been through thick and thin
But if you don't come through
You won't ever see me again.

You'd better find out what's happening
Find out what's happening before long, oh Lord
If you don't find out what's happening
You're gonna find out that I'm gone, now

First In Line
(Words & music: Aaron Harold Schroeder / Ben Weisman)

When they gave out eyes like diamonds
That would shame the stars that shine
My darling, my darling
You were the first in line.

When they gave out lips like honey
That hold a new thrill ev'ry time
My darling, my darling
You were the first in line.

There may be others
That love you longer
Who pledge their hearts to you
But there's no other
Could love you stronger
Any stronger than I do.

Don't refuse me
Say you'll choose me
I am yours, oh, please be mine
My darling, say I'm your darling
The first and the last in line.

500 Miles
(Words & music: Bobby Bare / Hedy West / Charlie Williams)

If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home.

Five Sleepy Heads
(Words & music: Sid Tepper / Roy C. Bennett)

There were five sleepyheads
All tucked into their beds
While I sang a lullaby
One got dreamdust in her eye.

There were four sleepyheads
Playing possum with me
Mr. Sandman came by
And then there were three.

Moonbeams play peek-a-boo
Three away became two
And my song was almost done
When the Land of Nod took one

Kissed the last one goodnight
Then I heard not a peep
There were five sleepyheads
Now they're all fast asleep

Flaming Star
(Words & music: Sid Wayne / Sherman Edwards)

Ev'ry man has a flaming star
A flaming star over his shoulder
And when a man sees his flaming star
He knows his time, his time has come.

Flaming star, don't shine on me
Flaming star
Flaming star, keep behind me
Flaming star
There's a lot of living I've gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Flaming star.

When I ride I feel that flaming star
That flaming star over my shoulder
And so I ride in front of that flaming star
Never lookin' around
Never lookin' around

Flaming star, don't shine on me
Flaming star
Flaming star, keep behind me
Flaming star
There's a lot of living I've gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true

One fine day I'll see that flaming star
That flaming star, over my shoulder
And when I see that old flaming star
I'll know my time, my time has come

Flaming star, don't shine on me
Flaming star
Flaming star, keep behind me
Flaming star
There's a lot of living I've gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Flaming star.

Follow That Dream
(Words & music: Fred Weise / Ben Weisman)

(Follow that dream
I've got to follow that dream)
Keep a-moving, move along
Keep a-moving.

I've gotta follow that dream
Wherever that dream may lead
I've gotta follow that dream
To find the love I need.

When your heart gets restless
Time to move along
When your heart gets weary
Time to sing a song
But when a dream is calling you
There's just one thing that you can do.

You've gotta follow that dream
Wherever that dream may lead
You've gotta follow that dream
To find the love you need.

Keep a-moving, move along
Keep a-moving.

Gotta find me someone
Whose heart is free
Someone to look for
My dream with me
And when I find her I may find out
That's what my dreams are all about.

I've gotta follow that dream
Wherever that dream may lead
I've gotta follow that dream
To find the love I need.

I, I, I, I've gotta follow that dream
Wherever that dream may lead

To find the love I need.

Fool
(Words & music: Carl Sigman / James Last)

Fool, you didn't have to hurt her
Fool, you didn't have to lose her
Fool, you only had to love her
But now her love is gone.

Fool, you could have made her want you
Fool, you could have made her love you
Fool, you only had to love her
But now her love is gone.

Gone now, the love and laughter
See yourself the morning after
Can't you see her eyes are misty
As she said good-bye.

Fools Fall In Love
(Words & music: Jerry Leiber / Mike Stoller)

Fools fall in love in a hurry
Fools give their hearts much too soon
Just play them two bars of »Stardust«
Just hang out one silly moon.

And they've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh, but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool.

Fools fall in love just like schoolgirls
Blinded by rose-colored dreams
They build their castles on wishes
With only rainbows for beams.

They're making plans for the future
When they should be right back in school
I used to laugh, but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool.
All right!

They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh, but now I'm the same
Take a look at a brand new fool
Take a look at a brand new fool.

Fools Rush In
(Words & music: Rube Bloom / Johnny Mercer)

Fools rush in, where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love
My heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me
Then I don't care, oh-oh-oh-oh.

Fools rush in, where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let
This fool rush in.

Then I don't care, oh-oh-oh-oh.

Fools rush in, where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let
This fool rush in.

So open up your heart and let
This fool rush in
So open up your heart and let
This fool rush in
So open up your heart and let
This fool rush in.

Forget Me Never
(Words & music: Fred Wise / Ben Weisman)

If I should go forget me never
Please say that you'll remember me
I pray the dreams we shared together

And don't forget my love for you.

And don't forget my love for you.

For Lovin' Me
(Words & music: Gordon Lightfoot)

That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me
Everything we had is gone
You can see
That's what you get for lovin' me.

Now don't you shed a tear for me
I ain't the love you thought I'd be
I've had a hundred just like you
But don't be blue
I'll have a thousand 'fore I'm through.

That's what you get for loving me
That's what you get for loving me
Everything we had is gone
You can see
That's what you get for lovin' me

Now, there you go, you're cryin' again
You should have known how things would end
But then some day when
Your poor heart is on the mend
I just might pass this way again.

Everything we had is gone

For Ol' Times Sake
(Words & music: Tony Joe White)

Before you go walk out on me
Take a look around
And tell me what you see
Here I stand like an open book
Is there something here
You might have overlooked?
'Cause it would be a shame
If you should leave
And find that freedom
Ain't what you thought it would be.

The years we've had were not all bad
In fact, I know the good
Outweighed the bad
Now you say that you've grown tired
You want to be by yourself a while
But it would be a shame if you should go
And find that freedom was a long time ago.

I know that you can't stand
The chains that bind you
But they just keep on drivin' us apart
And you can go
Where I could never find you
But could you go far enough
To get away from your heart?

So one more time, for ol' times sake
Come and lay your head upon my chest
Please don't throw this moment away
We can forget the bad and take the best
If you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time
For ol' times sake.

Recorded: 1973/07/23, first released on single, September 1973


For The Good Times
(Words & music: Kris Kristofferson)

Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world
Will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time
To spend together
There's no need o watch the bridges
That we're burning.

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Fallin' soft against the window
And make believe you love me
One more time
For the good times

I'll get along, you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find
You ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness
When you leave me.

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Fallin' soft against the window
And make believe you love me
One more time
For the good times.

For the good times.

Darling, let me hold you tight
One more kiss and then I promise
I will say my last goodnight.

Give me one more kiss to dream of
And I'll be on my way.

It seems a million or so kisses ago
We said goodnight at your door

And I'm still begging for more.

Slowly disappears from sight
For the millionth and the last time
Let me kiss you goodnight.

She caught me doing her wrong.

My luck in poker was fading
When a new gal caught my eye
I gambled high, I tried to change my luck
With a chick named Nellie Bly
I was Frankie's man
But I was doing her wrong.

Well, Frankie came looking to find me
Yeah, she wasn't looking for fun
For in her sweet loving hand
She was a-totin' a 44 gun
To shoot her man
If he was doing her wrong

Yeah, Frankie walked into the bar room
And right there in front of her eyes
There was her loving Johnny
Making love to that Nellie Bly
And I was her man
She caught me doing her wrong.

Frankie, I beg, please don't shoot me
Well, they'll put you away in a cell
You know, they'll put your
Where the cold wind blows
From the hottest corner in hell
I'm your man
I know I done you wrong.

Please, roll me over real easy
Please, roll me over real slow
Roll me over real gently
'Cause my wound hurts me so
I was her man
But I done her wrong

Well, Frankie told Johnny
Well, this is the end of my song
I was her man
And I've done her wrong
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Done her wrong.

From A Jack To A King
(Words & music: Ned Miller)

From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played a ace and I won the queen
I walked away with your heart.

From a jack to a king
With no regrets I stacked, I stacked the cards
I stacked the cards last night
And Lady Luck played her hand just right
You made me king of your heart.

Ah, just a little while I thought
That I might lose the game
Ah, but just in time
I saw that twinkle in your eye.

From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding
Wedding, wedding ring
I played an ace and I won the queen
Ah, you made me king of your heart.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

For just a little while I thought
That I might lose the game
Oh, but just in time I saw
I saw that twinkle in your eyes.

From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding
Wedding, wedding ring
I played an ace and I won the queen
Ah, you made me king of your heart.

Fun In Acapulco
(Words & music: Ben Weisman / Sid Wayne)

Acapulco, sleeping in the bay
Acapulco, wake up and greet the day
Time to tell the guitars
And sleepy-eyed stars
To be on their way
It's such a beautiful morning
For a holiday.

Hey now, come on
You old sleepyhead
See the sky turning red
And you're still in bed
It's fun in Acapulco.

Acapulco, look, here comes the sun
Acapulco, it's a day for fun
I can't wait till I meet
Your sweet senoritas
Kiss everyone
This is no time for siesta
This is time for fun.

I can't wait till I meet
Your sweet senoritas
Kiss everyone
This is no time for siesta
This is time for fun
This is no time for siesta
This is time for fun
This is no time for siesta
This is time for fun
This is no time for siesta
This is time for fun
This is no time for siesta
This is time for fun.

Recorded: 1963/01/23, first released on Fun in Acapulco, December 1963


Funny How Time Slips Away
(Words & music: Willie Nelson)

Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
»How'm I doin'«?
Oh, well, I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now
And it seems that it was only yesterday
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away?

How's your new love?
I hope that he's doin' fine
Heard you told him, yes baby
That you'd love him till the end of time
Well, you know
That's the same thing that you told me
Well, it seems like just the other day
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away?
Yeah, baby.

Gotta go now
Guess I'll see you hangin' around
Don't know when though
Oh, no, never know
When I'll be back in town
But I'll remember what I told you
That in time you're gonna pay
Yeah, ain't it surprising
How time slips away?
Yeah, ain't it surprising
How time slips away?
