1.Suffer In Silence
Lyricist：Willie Nelson
Writer(s)：Willie Nelson
I think I should speak to you stranger your problem is clear now
to me
You think that the whole world's against you and tell everyone
that you see
Just suffer in silence speak no bitter words the world offers no
sympathy
Though trouble surrounds you and you long to be heard just
suffer in silence like me
I'll give you a lesson in living I hope it stays with you awhile
You're the reason for all of your sorrows so just suffer in
silence and smile
Just suffer in silence speak no bitter words the world offers no
sympathy
Though trouble surrounds you and you long to be heard just
suffer in silence like me
2.Hold Me Tighter
Writer(s)：Willie Nelson
I thought if I could be with you
Maybe I'd feel better
But I'm afraid I took advantage of your love
I thought if you'd just hold me tight
Maybe I'd forget her
But I don't suppose as yet
You've held me tight enough
Please hold me tighter
I still remember
Put your arms around me
Hold me close, hold me tight and long
Please hold me tighter
I still remember
And I can't love again
Until her mem'ry's gone
Please hold me tighter
I still remember
And I can't love again
Until her mem'ry's gone
3.Go Away
Writer(s)：Willie Nelson
Go away; can't you see I'm cryin'？
Go back to the new love that you've found.
Don't sweet talk me, 'cause I ain't listenin',
And you'll only make things worse by hangin' round.
I know that I'd be crazy,
If I took you back again.
But this foolish heart of mine,
Might just weaken and give in.
So go away,
I feel much better when you're gone.
For you're the one who made me cry.
Now let me cry alone.
I know that I'd be crazy,
If I took you back again.
But this foolish heart of mine,
Might just weaken and give in.
So go away,
I feel much better when you're gone.
For you're the one who made me cry.
Now let me cry alone.
4.The Ghost
Writer(s)：Willie Nelson
The silence is unusually loud tonight,
The strange sound of nothing fills my ears.
Then night rushes in like a crowd of nights,
And the ghost of our old love appears.
This strange world of darkness,
That comes with the night,
Grows darker when it walks my way.
Then it laughs while I listen for the breakin' of day,
An' the ghost of our old love goes away.
5.To Make A Long Story Short(She's Gone)
Lyricist：Foster／Willie Nelson
Writer(s)：Foster／Willie Nelson
I see nothing to be gained by explanations
No need to try to say who's right or who was wrong
No need to enter into lengthy dissertations to make a long story
short she's gone
I won't attempt to explain the things that happened
To put in words why she's not here would take too long
And it's all too far beyond the realm of understanding
To make a long story short she's gone
The way you look at me you don't believe she loved me
But she once loved me with a love so sweet and strong
I won't try to give the reasons why I miss her so
To make a long story short she's gone
To make a long story short she's gone
6.A Moment Isn't Very Long
Writer(s)：Willie Nelson
Yesterday, as I talked with a friend in town,
I forgot to remember that you'd gone.
For a moment, I found myself smilin',
But a moment isn't very long.
An' last night as I danced with a stranger,
An' she held her cheek close to my own,
For a moment, I almost forgot you,
But a moment isn't very long.
Every now an' then I get a chance to smile,
But those every now an' thens just last a little while.
An' tonight I've got a date with a new love,
But I know I'd do just as well at home.
For a moment, maybe I could forget you.
But a moment isn't very long.
Every now an' then I get a chance to smile,
But those every now an' thens just last a little while.
An' tonight I've got a date with a new love,
But I know I'd do just as well at home.
For a moment, maybe I could forget you.
But a moment isn't very long.
7.The Party's Over
Lyricist：Willie Nelson
Writer(s)：Willie Nelson
Turn out the lights
The party's over
They say that
All good things must end
Call it tonight
The party's over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again
But the crazy crazy party
Never seen so many people
Laughing dancing
Look at you you're having fun
But look at me
I'm almost cryin'
That don't keep her love from dyin'
Misery cause for me the party's over
Turn out the lights...
Once I had a love undyin'
I didn't keep it but I tried
Life for me was just one party
And then another
I broke her heart so many times
I had to have my parting wife
I had to have my party
Why broke her heart so many times
But one day she said
Sweetheart the party's over
Turn out the lights...
8.There Goes A Man
Writer(s)：Willie Nelson
There goes a man who gave his heart to someone and I feel sorry
for him
For that someone just gave her heart to me
Now he's the loser and it hurts so much to lose and I feel sorry
for him
Cause the loser I know could have been me
Oh how he loved her I'm sure he must have loved her almost as
much as me
But fate has frowned on him then turned around and smiled on me
There goes a man who gave his heart to someone and I feel sorry
for him
For that someone just gave her heart to me
If things were different and if he had won her love instead of
me
I wonder if he'd find the time to offer sympathy
There goes a man who gave his heart to someone and I feel sorry
For him cause that someone just gave her heart to me
9.Once Alone
Writer(s)：Willie Nelson
I'm so tired of all this trouble now aren't you
We've tried and failed to make our dreams come true
It seems that we had dream worlds all our own
So don't you think that we should try it once alone
Life's too short to spend it feeling blue
And it's not too late our dreams could still come true
But before our chance for happiness is gone
Don't you think that we should try it once alone
It's not your fault and neither is it mine
It seems that we're just victims of the times
It's not that I don't love you cause I do
But love alone can't make a dream come true
I suppose that we'll survive the parting tears
We've survived so many others through the years
But before our chance for happiness is gone
Don't you think that we should try it once alone
10.No Tomorrow In Sight
Writer(s)：Willie Nelson
The children are sleepin',
Our talk can begin.
We've waited until they've gone to bed.
We knew they would cry,
When we said goodbye,
And I'd rather leave quietly instead.
We can never be happy,
We both know it's true.
We've quarrelled from the day that we met.
Our love was too weak,
To pull our dreams through,
But too strong to let us forget.
I hope we can salvage a few memories,
To carry us through the long night.
The clock's strikin' midnight, yesterday's gone.
And there's no tomorrow in sight.
In our efforts to break through,
The thick walls of pride,
With harsh words that burned to the core.
The wall's still remainin',
But the words broke inside,
And strengthened the walls even more.
I hope we can salvage a few memories,
To carry us through the long night.
The clock's strikin' midnight, yesterday's gone.
And there's no tomorrow in sight.
11.I'll Stay Around
Writer(s)：H. Cochran／Willie Nelson
I'll stay around 'til it's over.
And hope that it never ends.
Maybe in time, you'll change your mind
And decide to love me again.
I'll just simply refuse to leave you.
Call me stubborn, but I'll never give in.
And I'll just hang around 'til it's over,
And hope that it never ends.
I'll stay around 'til it's over.
And hope that it never ends.
Maybe in time, you'll change your mind
And decide to love me again.
I'll just simply refuse to leave you.
Call me stubborn, but I'll never give in.
And I'll just hang around 'til it's over,
And hope that it never ends.
12.The End Of Understanding
Writer(s)：Willie Nelson
Each time you hurt me you say you're sorry I try to understand
and say okay
But there must be an end to understanding and the end of mine
can't be too far away
I try to understand you're only human and we all make mistakes
every day
But there must be an end to understanding and I know that I just
can't go on this way
Don't you know that love and understanding go together
Ask too much of one and both will die
And there must be an end to understanding
And I know someday I'll reach the end of mine
And I know someday I'll reach the end of mine
