I see you now, I think of then
And dwell upon the happiness of way back when
Cause since you said goodbye
The feelings just won't die
And I still long to hold you now and then
A million years have come and gone
And I was sure by now I'd make it on my own
But seeing you today
Took my breath away
And I still long to hold you now and then
Suddenly I felt myself wondering
If you might wanna try it again
And though I wanted so much to hold you
You smiled and shook my hand
So I'll exist on dreams again
On days when we were lovers and not just friends
And even if I find another love in time
I still long to hold you now and then
Oh, I still long to hold you now and then
Reba McEntire
My daddy is a rancher
He's wrangled cattle dang near all his life
He also liked to rodeo
He traveled around with four kids and a wife
Well his old ranch is rocky
But his ropes sail smooth for several years
He worked real hard
And roped real good
And tried to get his ranch out in the clear
He didn't want us kids to rodeo
He wanted more out of life for us
Maybe banking or a lawyer
Or maybe driving some old bus
Well that's when we took up singing
And his pride grew greater day by day
And I know his eyes grew misty
The night I sang up on the Opry stage
Chorus:
Now his ranch is so much bigger than
The days when he first started
The grass grows now where none used to be
His roping got him started
Cattle prices made it better
And he's trying to get his ranch out in the clear
Five years ago September
He bought more steers and hung up all his ropes
But he often tells the stories about the rodeos he won and cowboy jokes
Well it's funny that the first big roping that he won some thirty years
ago
Was the same day that I sang on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry Show
Repeat Chorus
Now he's feeding cattle
Toting hay
And branding the YO
And his hired hand's there to help him
And she also cooks their meals when they get home
They built their ranch together
And listened to their kids sing through the years
Well they worked real hard and roped real good and now they got their
ranch
out in the clear
Because when a family works together
They finally get their ranch out in the clear
Out in the clear

I watch you as you wake and rub your eyes and try to hide them from the morning sun
I whisper how ya doing and you smile and say so tenderly good morning hun
Chorus:
Last night you made his memory fade a little
You helped me see how love can still be right
I wish you didn't have to leave
If you just knew how much I need
Last night, Ev'ry night
I know you have to catch a plane to Memphis
And you mentioned it's an early flight
You start to pack
And while I comb my hair I stare at you and think about last night
Cause (Repeat Chorus)
I slip into my robe to go make coffee
You come in and pull me close to you
And as I feel your tender kiss
I whisper can't Memphis wait a day or two
Cause (Repeat Chorus)
Cause (Repeat Chorus)
Dana Collins
Open up your arms to me
Come and hold me tenderly
Let me know your love for me is real
And love me like there's no tomorrows
Share my joys and share my sorrows
Make me feel like a woman wants to feel
Chorus:
I know you love me cause you told me so
But that ain't enough cause I want to be shown
Make me feel like a woman wants to feel
And let me know you miss me when I'm not around
Go ahead and kiss me when I'm feeling down
Make me feel like a woman wants to feel
Repeat Chorus
Love me like I want to be loved
Let me know I'm the one you dream of
Make me feel like a woman wants to feel
Make me feel like a woman wants to feel

So you like Sunday picnics
And yelling at the umpire at a baseball game
Window shopping, popcorn popping
Wading through the puddles in a summer rain
And I'll bet you're kind to children and
Someday you'd like to be a mother too
And do you get a feeling when you're with me the way I do
Chorus:
Well that makes two of us
We're like birds of a feather
True love brings together
A precious few of us
That makes two of us
So you believe in wishes
While blowing out the candles
On a birthday cake
Gentle hugs and lightning bugs
Staying up all night to watch the morning break
Given half a chance I'm sure you'll agree
One way to sum forever is you and me
Repeat Chorus
Don Gibson
Sweet Dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget you
And start my life new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me
It's plain
I should have known
I'd never wear your ring
I should hate you
The whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Why can't I forget the past
And start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller
Well I can wash out forty-four pairs of socks
And have 'em on the line
You know I can starch and iron two dozen shirts
'Fore you can count from one to nine
I can slip up a great big dip up of lard from a drippings can
Throw it in the skillet
Do my shopping
And be back before it melts in the pan
Chorus:
Cause I'm a woman
W-O-M-A-N
Let me tell you again
I'm a woman
W-O-M-A-N
Well I can rub and scrub till this house shines just like a dime
Feed the baby
Grease the car
Powder my nose at the same time
You know I can get all dressed up
Go out swinging with the M-A-N
Jump in bed at five
Sleep till six
And start all over again
Repeat Chorus
Well now if you come to me sick you know that I'm gonna make you well
And if you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell
And if you come to me hungry you know I'll feed ya full of my grits
And if it's loving you want I can kiss you and give you the shivering fits
Repeat Chorus
(I'll say it again)
Well, I got a twenty dollar gold fee that says there ain't nothing that I can't do
Well I can make a dress out of feeding sacks
And I can make a man outta you
Repeat Chorus
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
Yeah I'm a woman
Charlie Black
Rain Fallin, Fallin Rain
It's a long and troubled night
A night when I wish I could sleep
But there's no sleep inside
Heart Breaking, Breaking Heart
It's such a lonely sound
That cries for the need of someone
But there's no one around
Chorus:
Nobody here to hold
No one to warm the cold
That lies deep within my soul
All around, just the sound of the
Rain Falling, Fallin Rain
Like gentle tears of pain
That comes with my only friend
Is the gently falling rain
Repeat Chorus
Paul Harrison
Chorus:
I'm rolling, I'm tumbling, I'm falling apart
Cause I'll never, no I'll never find love
In his runaway heart
He's a fast rushing river, I can't get across
Like an ocean of sadness, o'er which I am tossed
He never slows down, he's always ready to fly
And when I get next to you it's just hello
Hello and goodbye
Repeat Chorus
No rope can hold him
He's not fit to be tied
Like the wildest of horses
Nobody can ride
Freedom's his distance
And the means to his end
So I'm giving up trying
Cause I'm just chasing, chasing the wind
Repeat Chorus
In his runaway heart
Terri Skinner/J.L. Wallace
Chorus:
It's gotta be love
That keeps us together
It's gotta be a feeling from the heart
It's gotta be love
It must last forever
Or I won't let the fire start
It's gotta be love
I don't have time for a part time love affair
I can't pretend it's love when it's not really there
So don't you lead me on if you don't really care
It's gotta be real
And I got a feeling
Repeat Chorus
I can't just let you take my love and walk away
And you must know that love is not a game I play
So when you say you love me
You better mean just what you say
It's gotta be real
And I got a feeling
Repeat Chorus (x2)
