Ray Charles Modern Sounds In Country And Lyrics
1.Bye Bye, Love

Written:Felice Bryant/Boudleaux Bryant

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness, hello loneliness
I think I'm-a gonna cry-y
Bye bye love, bye bye sweet caress, hello emptiness
I feel like I could di-ie
Bye bye my love goodby-eye

There goes my baby with-a someone new
She sure looks happy, I sure am blue
She was my baby till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been

CHORUS

I'm-a through with romance, I'm a-through with love
I'm through with a'countin' the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free
My lovin' baby is through with me

CHORUS

Bye bye my love goodby-eye
Bye bye my love goodby-eye

FADE: Bye bye my love goodby-eye
Bye bye my love goodby-eye


2.You Don't Know Me

Lyrics:Cindy Walker/Eddy Arnold
Music:Cindy Walker/Eddy Arnold

You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

Oh you don't know the one
That thinks of you at night
Who longs to kiss your lips
And yearns to squeeze you tight
No I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
You just don't know me

I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
You'll never, never know
The one who loves you so
You just don't know me

I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
Who'll never, never know
The one who loves you so
You just don't know me

You'll never, ever know
mmmm, cause you just don't know me


3.Half As Much

Lyrics:Curley Williams
Music:Curley Williams

Bell tower
at the station
is ringin' the morning out.
imprisoned by the
situation.

Would be every bit as sour
if I miss you half as much.
Miss you half as much.
The man at the track
sent all the passengers back
and said the kids running ?out? couldn't come.
(?and said the ?streets? running I wouldn't go.?)
No locomotion just devotion.
I folded the map
into the book on my lap
and wondered if I would feel half as numb
if I miss you half as much.
Miss you half as much.
In a year or two
we'll see this distance and this heartache through.
I never realized
that I would need the joys and secrets of your eyes
that much.
(guitar solo)
Bells chime
in the hallway.
You better believe that I
be only loving you for
always.

'Cause there'll never be a time
I could love you half as much.
Love you half as much.
Love you half as much.

Half As Much
Thornhill version

Bell tower
at the station
is ringin' the morning out.
imprisoned by
the situation.
Would be every bit as sour
if I miss you half as much.
Miss you half as much.
The man at the track
sent all the passengers back
and said the 3:29 wouldn't come.
No locomotion just ?devotion?.
I folded the map into the book on my lap
and wondered if I would feel half as numb
if I miss you half as much.
Miss you half as much.
In a year or two
we'll see this distance and this heartache through.
I never realized
that I would need the joys and secrets of your eyes
that much.
(guitar solo)
Bells chime
in the hallway.
You better believe that I
be only loving you for
always.
'Cause there'll never be a time
I could love you half as much.
Love you half as much.
Love you half as much.


4.I Love You So Much It Hurts

Lyrics:Floyd Tillman
Music:Floyd Tillman

I love you so much it hurts me
Darlin', that's why I'm so blue
I'm so afraid to go to bed at night
I'm afraid of losing you.

I love so much it hurts me
And there's nothing I can do
I want to hold you, my dear, forever and ever
I love you so much it hurts me so.

I love you so much it hurts me
And there's nothing I can do
I want to hold you, my dear, forever and ever
I love you so much it hurts me so.

6.Born To Lose

Lyrics:Ted Daffan
Music:Ted Daffan

Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.

Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
How I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.

Born to lose, my every hope is gone
It's so hard to face that empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.

There's no use to dream of happiness
All I see is only loneliness
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.

11.I Can't Stop Loving You

Lyrics:Don Gibson
Music:Don Gibson

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)

Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

(Those happy hours)
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew
(Tho' long ago)
Tho' long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart)
Since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times

(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
(Of yesterday)

13.You Are My Sunshine

Written:Jimmy Davis/Charles Mitchell

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I miss you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day:

CHORUS
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all my dreams:

CHORUS


14.Here We Go Again

Written:Donnie Lanier/Russell Steagall

Here we go again
She's back in town again
I'll take her back again
One more time
Here we go again
The phone will ring again
I'll be her fool again
One more time

I've been there before
And I'll try it again
But any fool knows
That there's no way to win
Here we go again
She'll break my heart again
I'll play the part again
One more time


15.That Lucky Old Sun

Lyrics:Haven Gillespie
Music:Beasley Smith

Up in the mornin'
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining, tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise

Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day


Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise

Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
