*Western stars light up the sky
Hear the desert wind roll by
Tonight, tonight
Western stars can break your heart
They keep shinin' when we're apart
Tonight, tonight
I watch, I wait
How long will my heart ache
Tonight, oh tonight
I watch, I wait
My heart is bound to break
Tonight
Western stars light up the sky
Tonight I'm alone to cry
Tonight
I watch, I wait
My heart is bound to break
Tonight
(repeat*)

Someday I won't come runnin'
When you call
The way you hurt me
It's a wonder I'm still here at all
Someday you'll wake up
And you'll find yourself alone
Lock, stock and teardrops
I'll be gone
I can't go on
The way you make me feel
You make me cry
And every time expect me to forgive
Someday you'll wake up
To a cold and lonely dawn
Lock, stock and teardrops
I'll be gone
Oh someday I'll wake up
And find the strength to carry on
And lock, stock and teardrops
I'll be gone
Lock, stock and teardrops
Lock, stock and teardrops
Lock, stock and teardrops
. . .

When it's sugarcane time
And around about June
I'll be walkin' with my sugar
'Neath that old sugar moon
All the lovin' I missed
I'll be gettin' it soon
I'll be gettin' it from my sugar
'Neath that old sugar moon
*
I can see us right now
Get the calendar down
(And) Draw a circle around
The day we're heaven bound
When it's sugarcane time
And around about June
All the birds will be singin'
'Neath that old sugar moon
(repeat*)

I wish I didn't love you so
My love for you
Should have ended long ago
I wish I didn't need your kiss
Why must your kiss
Torture me as long as this
*I might be smiling by now
With some new tender friend
Smiling by now
With my heart on the mend
But when I try
Something in my heart says no
You're still there
I wish I didn't love you so
(repeat *)

Waltz me once again
"Round that dance floor
Make my head go spinnin' 'roud
Dance me over by that bandstand
'Cause I love that twin fiddle sound
When we're dancin' close
Cheek to cheek
My head gets woozy
And my knees get weak
Waltz me once again
'Round that dance floor
Make my head go spinnin' 'round
It's Friday night
And the joint is swingin'
Inside these swingin' doors
And all the cowpokes they're a dancin'
And slippin' 'round this sawdust floor
But you better watch out
Who you let cut in
'Cause you might loose your baby
To your best friend
Well, waltz me once again
'Round that dance floor
Make my head go spinnin' 'round
We spin around, 'round and 'round
Dancin' all night long
The music stopped at three o'clock
But some fool turned that jukebox on
Waltz me once again
'Round the dance floor
We'll dance all night long
. . .

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor from nine to four
In between I drink
Black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room
I'm talkin to the shadow
One o'clock till four
And Lord, how slow the moments go
And all I do is pour
Black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry
Now man was born to go a lovin'
But was a woman born to weep and fret
And stay at home and tend her oven
And down her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes
I'm moonin' all the mornin'
Moanin' all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's drivin' me crazy
This thinkin' 'bout my baby
Might maybe come around
. . .

I'm a shadow since you're gone
Just a shadow in the dawn
That breaks in the sand
A shadow lost in shadowland
My poor heart just flew away
When it realized one day
The dreams that we planned
Would only end in shadowland
I always wondered
Why you had to go
Whatever blunder I mad
I don't know
I guess that something
Turned out wrong
Didn't quite belong
In this lover's song
I'm a shadow, but you know
I'm the one who loves you so
So please, take my hand
And lead me out of shadowland
. . .

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know (see) you're the only one
I'll ever love
Too many nights, too many stars
Too many moons could change your mind
If I'm gone too long
Don't forget where you belong
when the stars come out
Remember you are mine
(repeat *)
Too many miles, too many days
Too many nights to be alone
Oh please keep your heart
While we're apart
Don't linger in the moonlight
While I'm gone
. . .

Tears don't care who cries them
They don't care at all
Any time a heart starts breaking
They will fall and fall
Rich man, poor man, beggar
Tears can fill each eye
They don't care who cries them
You just cry, cry, cry
*
Once my love and dreams
Were in your keeping
Then you walked away
With someone new
Once you laughed at me
When (While) I was weeping
What happened to me
Has happened to you
Tears don't care who cries them
But my eyes are dry
I'm laughing now while you learn how
To cry, cry, cry
. . .

The coffee's all gone
And my eyes burn like fire
It's way past the hour
When most folks retire
You told me you'd call me
But you haven't yet
And I'm down to my last cigarette
I'm down to my last cigarette
For I know what made you forget
You're still out there somewhere
With someone you met
And I'm down to my last cigarette
I can't leave this room
You might call while I'm gone
The minutes seem like hours
Its soon will be dawn
And on top of all
Of my tears and regrets
I'm down to my last cigarette
I'm down to my last cigarette
And I'm trying so hard to forget
But you're still out there somewhere
With someone you met
And I'm down to my last cigarette
. . .

I'd have time on my hands
Time to make some plans
Time to take a different point of view
Time to take a walk
And time to sit and talk
But you know I'm too busy bein' blue
I'd have time to fool around
time to paint the town
Time to spend each night
With someone new
Time to be alone
And time to stay out all night long
But you know I'm too busy bein' blue
I'd have time to leave behind
For to you and all your kind
Time to leave behind the world we knew
But I'm still occupied
Just rememberin' how we cried
. . .

In The Evening(When The Sun Goes Down)
L. Carr/D. Raye
You Nearly Lose Your Mind
E. Tubb
Blues Stay Away From Me
A. Delmore/R. Delmore/W. Raney/H. Glover
In the evenin', in the evenin'
Baby, when the sun goes down
In the evenin', in the evenin'
Baby, when the sun goes down
Ain't it lonesome, ain't it lonesome
When your baby can't be found
Well, now if you love your baby
And you treat him right
But he keeps on fussin' at you
Every day and night
He's gonna trifle on you
Oh come on in Miss Kitty
They'll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you really lose your mind
Now if your baby's mean
Take a tip from me
Wanna lock him up at home
And throw away the key
He's gonna trifle on you
Trifle on you
They'll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin'
Lord, you really lose your mind
Blues stay away from me
Blues why don't you let me be
Don't know why you keep a hauntin' me
Love was never meant for me
True love was never meant for me
Seems somehow we never can agree
Where's my baby, where's my darlin'
Baby, where you been so long
Where's my baby, where's my darlin'
Baby, where you been so long
Drop the money in the jukebox
And play another honky tonky song
Yeah
Ain't that right, Loretta?
