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... 7. 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... ********** 8. 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... ********** 10. 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... ********** 11. 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... ********** 12. 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...
