A Church, A Courtroom And Then Goodbye
Written by Eddie Miller and W.S. Stevenson 
(As released by Patsy Cline July 20, 1955) 

The first scene was the church, then the altar 
Where we claimed each other, with tears of joy we cried 
Our friends wished us luck there forever 
As we walked from the church, side by side 

The next scene was a crowded courtroom 
And like strangers we sat side by side 
Then I heard the judge make his decision 
And no longer were we man and wife 

I hate the sight of that courtroom 
Where man-made laws push God's laws aside 
Then the clerk wrote our story in the record 
A church, a courtroom and then goodbye 

We walked from that courtroom together 
We shook hands and once again we cried 
Then it was the end of our story 
A church, a courtroom and then goodbye


Honky Tonk Merry Go Round
 Written by Frank Simon and Stan Gardner 
(As released by Patsy Cline July 20, 1955) 

I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round 
Makin' ever spot in town 
Startin' out early, comin' home late 
Ever' night with a brand new date 

I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round 
Actin' like a foolish clown 
Still racin' those blues that you left with me 
Wond'rin' if I'll ever be free 

CHORUS: 
Round and around and around I go 
Ridin' high and feelin' low 
Round and around just like a top 
Well, I'm a-gettin' dizzy, but I can't stop 

I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round 
Actin' like a foolish clown 
Still racin' those blues that you left with me 
Wond'rin' if I'll ever be free 

Yes, I'm wonderin if I'll ever be free

Hidin' Out
Written by Eddie Miller and W.S. Stevenson 
(As recorded by Patsy Cline 6/1/55) 

People point us out and shake their heads in shame 
In gossip circles we are talked about 
Darlin, on you I hold no legal claim 
But here we are again hidin' out 

The kisses that you give make our wrong seem so right 
It's too late to stop, there's no doubt 
We said we wouldn't meet tonight, my dear 
But here we are again hidin' out 

The ones we're tied to, we know we'll hurt, my dear 
Though we're hoping they don't find us out 
Sooner or later, we know we'll be caught 
But here we are again hidin' out


I Cried All The Way To The Altar
Written by B. Flournoy 
(As recorded by Patsy Cline 1/5/56) 

I cried all the way to the altar
A smile was on my face
But tears were in my heart
Two hearts broken 
And a third will soon falter
Now to late I know that we
Were wrong to part
Oh my darlin' now to late
We can't go back and start anew
Now to late I've thrown away
My chance of happiness with you
I cried all the way to the altar
Now to late I know that we
Were wrong to part
Take a calendar and turn back all the pages
Take my life turn back each day since I was born
I cried all the way to the altar
Now to late I see the damage I have done
Oh my darling now to late
We can't go back and start anew
Now to late I've thrown away
My chance of happiness with you
I cried all the way to the altar
Now to late I know that we
Were wrong to part

I've Loved And Lost Again 
Written by Eddie Miller 
(Released by Patsy Cline July 8, 1956. Radio transcription) 

I've loved and lost again 
Oh, what a crazy world we're livin' in 
True love has no chance to win 
I've loved and lost again 

I ask you what chance have I 
When each love I meet just makes me cry 
He loves awhile then says goodbye 
I've loved and lost again 

CHORUS: 
To be true to one alone 
Don't seem to matter anymore 
They tell you you're out of style 
Unless you've had three or four 
REPEAT FIRST VERSE  REPEAT CHORUS  REPEAT FIRST VERSE

Dear God 
Written by V.F. Stewart 
(As released by Patsy Cline 12/15/58) 

I go to church on a Sunday 
The vows that I make 
I break them on Monday 
The rest of the week 
I do as I please 
Then come Sunday morning 
I pray on my knees 

(Chorus) 
Dear God 
I know I'm not worthy 
But I need you so 
Please won't you hurry 
And help me turn back from 
The path I have trod 
You'll never be sorry 
Dear God 

Each day we read in the paper 
Of the carryin's on 
Of some of our neighbors 
We're sinnin', and lyin', 
And forgetting the faith 
Then we have the nerve 
To ask is it to late 

(Repeat chorus)

Walkin' After Midnight
Written by Don Hecht and Alan Block 
(First recorded by Patsy Cline November 8, 1956. 
Also recorded August 25, 1961.) 

I go out walkin' after midnight 
Out in the moonlight 
Just like we used to do 
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you 

I walk for miles along the highway 
Well, that's just my way 
Of sayin' I love you 
I'm always walkin' after midnight, searchin' for you 

CHORUS: 
I stop to see a weepin' willow 
Cryin' on his pillow 
Maybe he's cryin' for me 
And as the skies turn gloomy 
Night winds whisper to me 
I'm lonesome as I can be 

I go out walkin' after midnight 
Out in the moonlight
Just hopin' you may be 
Somewhere a-walkin' after midnight, searchin' for me 
REPEAT CHORUS REPEAT LAST VERSE

Fingerprints
Written by Don Hecht, W.O. Fleener and W.S. Stevenson 
(As recorded by Patsy Cline 4/24/57) 

I feel the fingerprints 
That you left on my heart 
You played a game of love 
And then you said we had to part 
You left me all alone 
And as the teardrops start 
I feel the fingerprints 
Of sorrow on my heart 

I know you didn't mean to be unkind 
And hurt me so 
And you've made up your mind 
But I just thought you ought to know 

That when the day is thru 
I think of only you 
I sit alone and dream 
And think of things we didn't do 
Now I am all alone 
And as the teardrops start 
I feel the fingerprints 
That you left on my heart 

And when the day is thru 
I think of only you 
I sit alone and dream 
And think of things we didn't do 
Now I am all alone 
And as the teardrops start 
I feel the fingerprints 
That you left on my heart

A Stranger In My Arms
Written by Charlotte White, Patsy Cline and Mary Lu Jeans 
(As recorded by Patsy Cline 4/24/57) 

Tho' you try you can't conceal it
Love has only brought us storms
I can see your eyes revealin'
Your a stranger in my arms

Say goodbye to our romancing
We have lost the flame that warms
Tho' I hold you while we're dancing
Your a stranger in my arms

Every story has an ending
This is where our story ends
Please don't hurt me by pretending
For lovers never can be friends

Thru the years your love will haunt me
And I'll dream about your charms
Still I know you'll never want me
Your a stranger in my arms

(Repeat last two verses) 

Your a stranger in my arms

Try again
Written by Bob Summers and Jerry Le Fors 
(As released by Patsy Cline May 27, 1957) 

Try again, don't feel blue
Try again
I've been thru feelin blue
Same as you
I've been broken-hearted
And cried the whole night thru
Sorry now we've parted
Cause no one else will do

Try again, so they say
Try again
Say goodbye to the tear in your eye
Somethin' seems to tell me
That we could love again
Try again, says my heart
Try again

(Repeat last verse)

Then You'll Know
Patsy Cline
(With Love)

You don't know the meaning
Of the words, "I love you so,"
But when you've found your one love,
Then you'll know.
You don't know the heartache,
Or the laughter you'll forgo,
Until you've lost that one love,
Then you'll know.
Now, you pretend to care for me,
But honey, if you do,
Why don't you give the kind of kiss
I always give to you?
So, I've just made my mind up,
Even though my tears will flow:
Go on and find a new love.
Then you'll know.
Now, you pretend to care for me,
But honey, if you do,
Why don't you give the kind of kiss
I always give to you?
So, I've just made my mind up,
Even though my tears will flow:
Go on and find a new love.
Then you'll know.
Then you'll know!

Three Cigarettes In An Ashtray
Written by Eddie Miller and W.S. Stevenson 
(As released by Patsy Cline August 12, 1957) 

Two cigarettes in an ashtray 
My love and I, in a small caf?BR> Then a stranger came along 
And everything went wrong 
Now there's three cigarettes in the ashtray 

I watched her take him from me 
And his love is no longer my own 
Now they are gone 
And I sit alone 
And watch one cigarette burn away 

He Will Do For You
Written by V.F. Stewart 
(As released by Patsy Cline 12/15/58) 

Once my soul was in sin
And my heart was in shame
I didn't know Jesus
Not even His name
Then I heard a voice say
Won't you come unto me
And He will do for you
What He's done for me
Give Him a chance
And let Him show you
He'll answer when you call
His love is the sweetest
His promise is free
For He will do for you
What He's done for me
Give Him a chance
And let Him prove it
His love is best of all
Give Him a chance
And let Him show you
He'll answer when you call
His love is sweetest
His promise is free
For He will do for you
What He's done for me	

A Poor Man's Roses 
Written by Bob Hilliard and Milton Delugg 
(As recorded by Patsy Cline November 8, 1956) 

I must make up my mind today 
What to have, what to hold 
A poor man's roses 
Or a rich man's gold 

One's as wealthy as a king in a palace 
Tho' he's callous and cold 
He may learn to give his heart for love 
Instead of buyin' it with gold 

Then the poor man's roses 
And the thrill when we kiss 
Will be memories of paradise 
That I'll never miss 

And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight 
Is the hand I will hold 
For the rose of love means more to me 
More than any rich man's gold 

Hungry For Love
Written by Eddie Miller and W.S. Stevenson 
(As recorded by Patsy Cline 5/23/57) 

I'm hungry for love 
Like a hobo for food 
Like the devil hunts for bad 
Like the angel looks for good 

I've been oh, so lonesome 
Your letters aren't enough 
My arms will welcome you home, dear 
I'm hungry for love 

I've cried so many tears, dear 
Sweetheart, since you've been gone 
I hope that you forgive me 
I'll admit that I was wrong 

I won't try to change you 
I miss you much to much 
Darlin' please come home 
I'm hungry for love

I Can't Forget
Written by W.S. Stevenson and Carl Belew 

I can't forget you 
I've got these memories of you 
I can't forget you 
I'll always be loving you 

Once we were happy 
We were so carefree and gay 
Then something happened 
And you went away 

I can't forget you 
Please tell me what must I do 
My memories haunt me 
Because I'll always love you 

Where are you darlin' 
Are you with someone new 
I can't forget you 
I'll always be loving you 

I can't forget you 
I've got these memories of you 
I can't forget you 
I'll always be loving you 

I can't forget you 
Please tell me what must I do 
My memories haunt me 
Because I'll always love you 

Where are you darlin' 
Are you with someone new 
I can't forget you 
I'll always be loving you

That Wonderful Someone 
Written by Gertrude Burg 
(As recorded by Patsy Cline 5/23/57) 

That wonderful Someone 
Who makes the stars all shine 
Who fashioned the mountains 
To reach to the sky 
Who brings each tomorrow 
Who hears every prayer 
In sunshine or sorrow 
If you call He'll be there 

That wonderful Someone 
Who makes the flowers grow 
Who paints ev'ry sunset 
With colors that glow 
Look all around you 
And these wonders you'll see 
Designed by that Someone 
For you and for me 

That wonderful Someone 
Who makes the flowers grow 
Who paints ev'ry sunset 
With colors that glow 
Look all around you 
And these wonders you'll see 
Designed by that Someone 
For you and for me

Stop The World And Let Me Off 
Written by Carl Belew and W.S. Stevenson 
(As released by Patsy Cline 1/13/58) 

Round n' around n' around 
Round n' around n' around 
Round n' around n' around 
And around and around 

(Chorus) 
Oh stop the world and let me off 
I'm tired of goin' round n' round 
I played the game of love and lost 
So stop the world and let me off 

My heart is shattered can't you see 
'Cause you no longer care for me 
But someday I'm sure you'll see 
Loving you did this to me 

My dream world tumbled to the ground 
The one I love has let me down 
I lost the wonder of his kiss 
How could he leave me here like this 

(Repeat chorus) 

Lock all this burning up inside 
I know his love for me has died 
I lost the wonder of his kiss 
How could he leave me here like this

If I Could See The World (Through The Eyes Of A Child)
Written by Sammy Masters, Richard Pope and Tex Satterwhite 
(As released by Patsy Cline 9/9/58) 

If I could see the world 
Thru the eyes of a child 
What a wonderful world this would be 
There'd be no trouble and no strife 
Just a big happy life 
With a bluebird in every tree 

(Chorus) 
I could see right, no wrong 
I could see good, no bad 
I could see all the good things 
In life I've never had 
If I could see the world 
Thru the eyes of a child 
What a wonderful world this would be 

If I could see the world 
Thru the eyes of a child 
Smiling faces would greet me all the while 
Like a lovely work of art 
It would warm my weary heart 
Just to see thru the eyes of a child
Cry Not For Me

Cry not for me, my love,
When I am far away,
There's nothing more to say,
Cry not for me.
Cry not for me, my love,
You've found another thrill,
And though I love you still,
Cry not for me.
Love is a golden rose
That grows within your heart,
Unless the petals fade
And fall apart.
Cry not for me, sweetheart,
But if a tear should start,
Cry not, my broken heart,
Cry not for me!
Unless the petals fade
And fall apart.
Cry not for me, sweetheart,
But if a tear should start,
Cry not, my broken heart,
Cry not for me!

Just Out Of Reach (of My Two Open Arms)

Love that runs away from me 
Dreams that just won't let me be 
Blues that keep on both'rin' me 
Chains that just won't set me free 
Too far away from you and all your charms 
Just out of reach of my two open arms 

Each night in dreams I see your face 
Mem'ries time cannot erase 
Then I awake and find you've gone 
I'm so blue, I'm all alone 
So far away from lips so sweet and warm 
Just out of reach of my two open arms 

(That lonesome feeling all the time) 
(Knowing you cannot be mine) 
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep 
Vows that we could never keep 
Too far away from lips so sweet and warm 
Just out of reach of my two open arms

Never No More

Never no more will I be all alone,
Never no more will I be a stay-at-home,
Cause I've got me somebody who makes me happy when I'm blue.
Never no more will I cry for him,
Never no more will I try for him,
Cause I've got me somebody who makes me happy when I'm blue.
I've been all around, I painted the town,
Saw all the old faces and all the old places that he used to know ~
But all that is past, got someone at last
Who makes me so happy that never no more will I ever, never be blue.
No, never no more will I ever see him,
Never no more, now that I'm free of him,
Cause I've got me somebody who makes me happy when I'm blue.
Never no more will I ever see him,
Never no more, now that I'm free of him,
Cause I've got me somebody who makes me happy when I'm blue.

Turn The Cards Slowly
Written by Sammy Masters 
(As released by Patsy Cline November 5, 1955) 

Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
Please don't double-deal to win my heart
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
Don't go breakin' rules right from the start

The ramblin', gamblin', reckless way you treat my heart's a sin
Each night down on my knees I pray your gamblin' ways will end
Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin'
And if you stack the deck, then I'll move on

(Repeat both verses)

Turn the cards slowly while you're dealin', darlin',
And if you stack the deck, then I'll move on


Lovesick Blues
Written by Irving Mills and Cliff Friend 
(As released by Patsy Cline 3/7/60) 

Got a feelin' cause I'm blue, oh, Lord 
Since my daddy said goodbye 
I don't know what I'm gonna do 
All I do is sit and cry, oh, Lord 
That last long day he said goodbye 
Oh, Lord, I thought I would die 
He'll do ya, he'll do me, he's got that kinda lovin' 
But, Lord, I love to hear him when he calls me sweet baby 
What a beautiful dream 
I hate to think it all over 
I lost my heart it seems 
I've grown so used to that man, somehow 
And I'm nobody's sugar-baby now 
'Cause I'm lonesome 
I got the lovesick blues 

Now I'm in love, I'm in love with a wonderful guy 
That's what's the matter with me 
Well, I'm in love, I'm in love with a wonderful guy 
But he don't care about me 
Well, I tried and I tried to keep him satisfied 
But he just wouldn't stay 
But now that he is leavin', this is all I've got to say 

I got a feelin' cause I'm blue, oh Lord, since my daddy said goodbye 
I don't know what I'm gonna do 
I lost my heart it seems 
I've grown so used to that man, somehow 
And I'm nobody's sugar-baby now 
'Cause I'm lonesome 
I got the lovesick blues 

I've grown so used to that man, and how 
And I'm nobody's sugar-baby now 
'Cause I'm lonesome 
I got the lovesick blues

CRAZY
Written by Willie Nelson

Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying

And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.
