And I can't see me without you
Is it day is it night am I losing my sight
Is it over or we're really through
I can't see you in my arms anymore
And I can't see me without you
I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leaving or gone
I could never see anything you wanted me to
And I can't see me without you
I see the house you once called your home
And I see the door you walked through
I see the road you're leaving me on
But I can't see me without you
I can't see me without you to lean on...

LOOKING THROUGH MY GLASS
(Conway Twitty) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »I looked into my future what did I see
Nothing but a lonely face staring back at me
I looked into my glass of wine and there to my surprise
I saw my dream world fall apart right before my eyes
Looking through my glass of cherry wine
Trying hard to get you off my mind
But all I see is love that didn't last
Yes I can see it all just looking through my glass
[ fiddle ] And now the glass is empty I'm down to my last dime
Just one more drink that's all I need to ease my troubled mind
So fill it up please Mister this one's got to last
I've got a million years to spend just looking through my glass
Looking through my glass...

IT'S BEEN ONE HECK OF A DAY
(Lawrence Reynolds) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »It all started early this morning
As her mem'ry cruely teased my mind
I found a picture in my wallet I thought I hrew away
Oh it's been one heck of a day
Then while looking through the evening papers
I ran across some torturing news
Mr and Mrs O'Grady now have a new baby
Oh it's been one heck of a day
Is it there for me to love her and cry at the thought of her
When my only hope is a dream
An old friend dropped by late this evening
Wouldn't you know he asked about her
But I guess he didn't know that I lost her long ago
Oh it's been one heck of a day
Oh it's been one heck of a day

KISS AN ANGEL GOOD MORNIN'
(Ben Peters) « © '71 Ben Peters Music, BMI »Whenever I chance to meet some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to be this way
I've always got a smiling face any time and any place
And everytime they ask me why I just smile and say
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home
Some people may try to guess the secret of a happiness
But some of them never learn it's a simple thing
The secret I'm speaking of is a woman and a man in love
The answer is in that song Charlie always sings
You've got to kiss an angel...
You've got to kiss an angel...

I DIDN'T LOSE HER (I THREW HER AWAY)
(Conway Twitty - L.E. White - Betty Jo White) « © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »You may find her in a tavern in the cheap part of town
With bright lights and music and a crowd gathered round
It may be too late now to tell her but I love her more today
But I didn't lose her I threw her away
She stood by me looked for the good in me when she knew I was wrong
I would love her just enough to keep her hanging on
She stayed much longer than she should then she walked out one day
But I didn't lose her I threw her away
She only wanted me to love her and to tell her so each day
Now she's somewhere in a tavern wasting her life away
But don't be too fast to condemn her for what she might do or say
For I didn't lose her I threw her away

I'LL NEVER MAKE IT HOME TONIGHT
(L.E. White) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »Today I started home with just a mile ago and everythin' was goin' on right
And then I heard sock it to me on the radio and I'll never make it home tonight
Well I made it down on the old crossroad where the wrong road leads to the right
Then I thought of many in the mini skirts and I'll never make it home tonight
Yeah the road to the right is wrong the one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight
Yeah the road to the right...
[ guitar ] Down in the glad place for the sad I'm losin' for I'm gonna get fight
I'm a lookin' for good place to go bad and I'll never make it home tonight
Well I got kinda high and live a little low started home about daylight
When I got to the road where I should've get left again I turn to the right
Yeah the road to the right...
Yeah the road to the right...
Yeah it don't look like I'm gonna make it home tonight

THIS ROAD THAT I WALK
(Conway Twitty) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »Well this road that I walk is a mighty lonely road
And this load that I bear is a mighty heavy load
And this song that I sing is a mighty lonely song
I had a true love but I've done her wrong
(He had a true love but he's done her wrong)
Well this road that I walk it has no end
And on this road I walk I have no friends
The people that I pass are people just like me
Doomed to forever walk this road of misery
(He had a true love but he's done her wrong
Now he walks this road of misery alone)
Well this road that I walk is for fools like you
This road that I walk you're gonna walk it too
Each step that you take rules you not very smart
You had a true love but you broke her heart
You had a true love but you done her wrong
Like me you must walk this road of misery alone
You had a true love but you done her wrong
Like me you must walk this road of misery alone

SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S CRYING ABOUT
(John Riggs) « © '72 Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »You may think she's not been true all those things she's telling you
But believe me what she says is really true
Cause I'm the one who left her there I'm the one who didn't care
And she knows what she's crying about
She knows what she's crying about
She bears the pain though I'm to blame there's no doubt
I never even tried to save or acceptted love she gave
And she knows what she's crying about
[ piano - guitar ] She gave me her very best I was wrong to give the rest
All the love that she so desperately tried to hold
I made her shed a million tears all I did was waste her years
And she knows what she's crying about
She knows what she's crying...

SHE'S ALL I GOT
(Gary Bonds - Jerry Williams) « © '71 Embassy Music, BMI »Let me tell you now friend don't take her she's all I got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm a beggin' you friend don't take her she's all I got
She's everything in life I'm ever gonna need
She is life oh when I wanna live
She's everything to me in life that's really real
She's my water when I need to drink
She's the first thought in my mind each time I try to think
Let me tell you now friend...
She's my fingers when I want to feel
She's the only thing in life to me that's really real
She is love she's all the love I know
She could kiss the ground in the wintertime and make the flowers grow
Let me tell you now friend...
Let me tell you now friend...

ONE MORE SUNRISE
(L.E. White) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »There'll be just one more sunrise in this cell for brother and me
He'll go home while I'll go to the hanging tree
Tell Betty I still love her and kiss her once for me
And tell mama at sunrise we'll both be free
Sitting in my prison cell the day is just beginning
My spirit's alike a grey on every wall
Beside me is my brother tomorrow we'll both be leaving
He'll go home while they'll lead me down the hall
He was always the blacksheep there's one in every family
But he was always just little brother to me
And that's why I took to blame when he killed a man in Knoxville
But tomorrow at sunrise we'll both be free
There'll be just one more sunrise...
Oh tell mama at sunrise we'll both be free

IT'S A CRYIN' SHAME
(Dennis Lambert - Brian Potter) « © '72 Songs Of Universal, BMI »Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame we don't have it no more no more
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame we don't have it no more no more
Readin' your letter I didn't know whether to call you up and talk again
When I saw the name it signed goin' through my mind
Was a memory of way back when
Now all that I can wish you is a good love baby sorry that it couldn't be me
Cause it felt so right if we held on tight I'd be with you tonight
We never should have our
Love walked out...
[ steel ] I won't forget the summer my heart was like a drummer
Just beatin' every night away
Walkin' in the sun with you baby we were one
And our new love was really ours to stay
Now all I get to keep is a faded picture you belong to him today
And the memory of you and me is just a used to be we never should have our
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame we don't have it no more no more
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame we don't have it shame we don't have it
Live slips through my hands it's a cryin' shame I've been playin' no game
Love fell at my feet it's a cryin' shame and the bitter isn't the sweet
Oh oh I'm so sorry baby
Love walked out...
