JIM REEVES: I can'tstop loving you and 5 more




1. I Can't Stop Loving You

I can't stop loving you I've made up my mind
To live in memories of old 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 that we once knew though long
ago still make me blue
They say that time heels a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
I can't stop loving you...

2. Across The Bridge



I have lived a life of sin in this world I'm
living in
I have done forbidden things I shouldn't do
I asked a beggar along the way he could tell me
where to stay
Where I could find real happiness and love that's
true
Across the bridge there's no more sorrow across the
bridge there's no more pain
The sun will shine across the river and you'll
never be unhappy again
[ organ ]
Follow the footsteps of the King till you hear the
voices ring
They'll be singing out the glory of the land
The river Jordan will be near the sound of trumpet
you will hear
And you'll behold the most precious places ever
known to man
Across the bridge there's no more sorrow...
Across the bridge there's no more sorrow...

3. Have You Ever Been Lonely (have You Ever Been Blue)

Have you ever been lonely have you ever been blue
Have you ever loved someone just as I love you
Can't you see I'm sorry for each mistake I've made
Can't you see I've changed dear can't you see I've
paid
Be a little forgiving take me back in your heart
How can I go on living now that we're apart
If you knew what I've been through then you'd know
why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely have you ever been blue
[ strings ]
If you knew what I've been through...

4. Love Me A Little Bit More


Tease me a little bit squeeze me a little bit love
me a little bit more
Love me a little bit can't get enough of it tell
me I'm the one you adore
I'm in a pettin' mood you've got me hooked for
good
I'm yours and that's for sure
Squeeze me a little bit tease me a little bit love
me a little bit more
Mommy warned me I'd meet girls who'd make me feel
like this
But she never mentioned these crazy flip-flops my
heart does when we kiss
Oh what a shape I'm in you've got me in a spin
never felt this way before
You make a livin' seem just like a pretty dream
love me a little bit more
[ piano - steel - fiddle ]
Love me a little bit kiss me and never quit you
know I want it that way
I dream of a honeymoon it can't be too soon just
can't wait for the day
I want to share your life want you to be my wife a
feeling I can't ignore
Crazy bout your charms want you in my arms love me
a little bit more
The first day when you smiled at me you had me on
your string
You got me building my dreams around the month of
June and a wedding ring
Love me a little bit can't get enough of it I'm
standing at your door
Love me all the time say you'll be only mine love
me a little bit more
Mommy warned me I'd meet girls...

5. Why Do I Love You (melody Of Love)



Why do I love you I love you not only for what you
are
But for what I am when I'm with you
I love you not only for what you've made of
yourself
But for what you're making of me
I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the
fool in me
And for laying firm hold of the possibilities for
good in me
Why do I love you I love you for closing your eyes
to the dischords
And for adding to the music in me by worshipful
listening
I love you because you're helping to make of the
lumber of my life
Not a tavern but a temple
And out of the words of my everyday not a reproach
but a song
I love you because you have done more than any
creed to make me happy
You have done it without a word without a touch
without a sign
You have done it just by being yourself and after
all perhaps that's what love means

6. Have I Told You Lately That I Love You


Have I told you lately that I love you
Could I tell you once again somehow
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore
you
Well darlin' I'm telling you now

My world would end today if I should lose you
I'm no good without you, anyhow
This heart would break in two if you refuse me
Well darlin' I'm telling you now

Have I told you lately how I miss you
When the stars are shining in the sky
Have I told you why the nights are long
When you're not with me
Well darlin' I'm telling you now

My world would end today if I should lose you
I'm just no good without you, anyhow
This heart would break in two if you refuse me
My darlin', I'm telling you now...
