Portrait Of Patsy Cline

Patsy Cline Portrait Of Patsy Cline Lyrics
1.Always

Written:irving berlin
(as recorded by patsy cline, february 5, 1963)

I'll be loving you, always
With a love that's true, always
When the things you plan
Need a helping hand
I will understand, always, always

Days may not be fair, always
That's when i'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year, but, always

Days may not be fair, always
That's when i'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
And, not for just a year, but, always

2.Blue Moon Of Kentucky

Written:bill monroe

(as performed by bill monroe)

Blue moon of kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
It was on one moonlight night
Stars shining bright
Whisper on high
Love said goodbye
Blue moon of kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

(as released by patsy cline, august 5, 1963)

I said blue moon of kentucky, keep on a-shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of kentucky, keep on a-shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

It was on one moonlit night, stars shinin' bright
Whispered on high, love said goodbye

I said blue moon of kentucky, keep on a-shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Blue moon of kentucky, keep on a-shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of kentucky, keep on a-shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Well, it was on one moonlit night, stars shinin' bright
Whispered on high, your lover said goodbye
I said blue moon of kentucky, keep on a-shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Left me blue
Left me blue
Left me blue


3.Crazy Arms

blue is not the word for the way that i feel
And the storm brewing in this heart of mine.
This is not pleasure dream i know that its real
Your someone else's love now your not mine

Crazy arms that reach to horse somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying your not mine
My troubled mind no soon to another you will be with
And that's why i'm lonely all the time

Please take the treasured dreams i had for you and me
And take all the love i thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now i'm so lonely all the time

(repeat verse 2)


4.Does Your Heart Beat For Me

Written:a. johnson, r. morgan and m. parish

Tho' we said goodbye
When the moon was high
Does your heart beat for me
I wonder if i still linger
In your memory

When you hear my name
Is the thrill the same
As it once used to be
When you're lonesome, my sweetheart
Does your heart beat for me

When you hear my name
Hear my name
Is the thrill the same
Thrill the same
As it once used to be
When you're lonesome, my sweetheart
Does your heart beat for me


5.Faded Love

Written:bob & john wills
(as released by patsy cline august 5, 1963)

As i look at the letters that you wrote to me
It's you that i am thinkin' of
As i read the lines that, to me, were so dear
I remember our faded love

(chorus)
I miss you darlin', more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars the above
With every heartbeat, i still think of you
And remember our faded love

As i think of the past and all the pleasures we had
As i watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye
I remember our faded love

(repeat chorus)

And remember our faded love

6.I'll Sail My Ship Alone

(as released:patsy cline, october 28, 1963)

We've been sweethearts for so long
But now you say we're thru
The love we shared is now a memory
I have built a ship of dreams
And planned them all for you
But now i guess what is to be, will be

Chorus:
I'll sail my ship alone
With all the dreams i own
Drifting out across the ocean blue
Yes, i'll sail my ship alone
Tho' all the sails you've torn
And when it starts to sinkin'
I'll blame you

Now, i gave a message to the wind
To take back home to you
Hoping you would hear my s-o-s
I thought that you would come back home
My darlin', if you knew
How much my achin' heart was in distress

Well,
Repeat chorus


7.Someday

Written:j. hodges

(as recorded by jim reeves, december 19, 1958)

I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When i'm in love with somebody else
You expect me to be true, and keep on loving you
Tho' i'm feeling blue - you think i can't forget you

Until someday you'll want me to want you
When i'm strong for somebody new
Tho' you don't want me now, i'll get along somehow
And then i won't want you

I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When i'm strong for somebody new
And tho' you don't want me now, i'll get along somehow
And then i won't want you

(as released by patsy cline, february 20, 1964)

I know that someday, you'll want me to want you
When i'm in love with somebody new
You expect me to be true, and keep on loving you
Tho' i am feeling blue, you think i can't forget you

Until someday you'll want me to want you
When i am strong for somebody else
And although you don't want me now, i'll get along somehow
And then i won't want you

I know that someday, you're gonna want me to want you
When i am strong for somebody else
And although you don't want me now, i'm gonna get along somehow
And then i won't want you
I won't want you
And then i won't want you

Written:harlan howard
(as released by patsy cline 5/7/62)

You think you love sue
But when i get thru with you
You won't ever look at sue again...

I'm gonna be so good to you
I'm gonna love you my whole life thru
Pretty soon you'll feel the same
You won't even know her name
I'll give ya kisses that she can't beat
I'll treat you so nice and sweet
When i get thru with you
You'll love me too, not sue
When i get thru with you
You'll love me too

I'm gonna treat you sweet and kind
I'll drive her right outta your mind
And you won't know her if you meet
Walk right by her on the street
Because i want you and need you so
Poor susie will have to go
When i get thru with you
You'll love me too, not sue
When i get thru with you
You'll love me too

I'm gonna be so good to you
I'll love you my whole life thru
Pretty soon you'll feel the same
You won't even know her name
I'll give you kisses that she can't beat
I'll treat you so nice and sweet
When i get thru with you
You'll love me too, not sue
When i get thru with you
You'll love me too, not sue
When i get thru with you
You'll love me too, not sue...

9.When You Need A Laugh

Written:hank cochran
Released october 28, 1963

You can't imagine how it hurts me
To have you treat me like you do
Knowing that my love is just a joke to you
But i'll take it just to see you
And laugh as teardrops fall
So when you need a laugh, give me a call

Everybody says i'm crazy
To let you treat me this way
But i can't explain, so, what else can i say
At least i'm on your mind when you're laughin'
Somehow that breaks the fall
So when you need a laugh, give me a call

I'd gladly trade the laugh you get
For making fun of me
To be around the one i love and need so desperately
So even if the laugh's on me
I don't mind at all
So when you need a laugh, give me a call
So when you need a laugh, give me a call

10.Who Can I Count On

Written:sammy masters
(as released by patsy cline 10/16/61)

Who can i count on
If i can't count on you
I never counted on you
Makin' me blue
They say your a runnin' 'round
With somebody new
Who can i count on
If i can't count on you

I thought i held a precious key to heaven
Your love was sweet and gentle at the start
But now i feel that i can't go on livin'
If livin' means that we must live apart

Who can i count on
If i can't count on you
There goes my happiness
And here comes the blues
I can't convince myself that
We're really thru
Who can i count on
If i can't count on you

The door to happiness was almost open
Just one more step or two and i'd be in
Then all at once the vows you made were broken
The door to happiness was closed again

Who can i count on
If i can't count on you
There goes my happiness
And here comes the blues
I can't convince myself
That we're really thru
Who can i count on
If i can't count on you
Who can i count on
Who can i count on
Who can i count on
If i can't count on you

11.Your Kinda Love

Written:roy drusky
Released february 20, 1964

You say you love me
Then you treat me like a stranger
I don't understand your kind of love
You say you need me
And that makes it even stranger
No, i don't understand your kind of love

If you can't be all mine
Then why am i all yours
I wonder where a heart draws the line
I try not to see you
But you're a great arranger
No, i don't understand your kind of love

(repeat last verse)

No, i don't understand your kind of love

Written:harlan howard, wynn stewart and skeets mcdonald
(as recorded by patsy cline, february 7, 1963)
Ray price performed 'you took her off my hands'

(1)
You took him off my hands
When you stepped in
You changed everything
We're not even friends

(2)
Don't leave the job half done
Leave nothing behind
You took him off my hands
Now please take him off my mind

(3)
Please take his photograph
Engraved on my heart so blue
And take all his memories
He now belongs to you

(repeat 2, 3, 2)

You took him off my hands
Now please take him off my mind
