Today I Started Loving You Again

Today I Started Loving You Again
written and performed by Merle Haggard

Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And the crying time for me had just begun

I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You

I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You
written and performed by Hank Williams Sr.

Today I passed you on the street, and my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side, and he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels

It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels (1952)
written by JD Miller, performed by Kitty Wells

As I sit here tonight the jukebox playing
The tune about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are saying
It brings memories when I was a trusting wife

(chorus)
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
It's not true that only you men feel the same
From the start most every heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame

(chorus)

the song starts at about :30 - worth the wait, beware of other versions of this song - they change the melody. And love that fiddle break!

I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know

I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know (about him)
written by Cecil Null, performed by the Davis Sisters

I forgot more than you'll ever know about him

You think you know the smile on his lips
The thrill at the touch of his fingertips
But I've forgot more than you'll ever know about him

You think you'll find a heaven of bliss
Each caress each tender kiss
But I've forgot more than you'll ever know about him

You stole his love from me one day, you didn't care how you hurt me
But you can never steal away
Memories of what used to be

You think he's your's to have and to hold
Someday you'll learn when his love grows cold
That I've forgott more, than you'll ever know about him

You think he's yours to have and to hold
Someday you'll learn when his love grows cold
That I've forgotten more than you'll ever know about him

one of the great country duets

He Stopped Lovin' Her Today

He Stopped Lovin' Her Today
written by George Jones, Bobby Braddock and Curly Putnam, performed by George

He said I'll love you 'til I die
She told him you'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by,
she still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall
went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed, dated 1962
He had underlined in red, every single I love you
I went to see him just today
Oh but I didn't see no tears, All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years

(Chorus)
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

(Spoken)
You know she came to see him one last time
Oh and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good

(chorus)

the classic

Precious Jewel

Precious Jewel
written by Roy Acuff and Charlie Louvin, performed by Roy Acuff

Way back in the hills, when a boy I once wandered
Buried deep in her grave lies the one that I love
She was called from this earth, a jewel for heaven
More precious than diamonds more precious than gold

(chorus)
A jewel here on earth, a jewel in Heaven
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
May the angels have peace, God bless her in Heaven
They've broken my heart and they've left me to roam

When a girl of sixteen, we courted each other
She promised someday to become my sweet wife
I bought her the ring to wear on her finger
But the angels they called her to heaven one night.

(chorus)

This world has it wealth, its' trials and troubles
Mother earth holds her treasures of diamonds and gold
But it can't hold the soul of one precious jewel
She's resting in peace with the heavenly fold.

May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven
They've broken my heart and they left me to roam.

Ginny Hawker and Tracy Schwarz also recorded a fabulous version of this one, but this is the great Roy Acuff and his Smoky Mountain Boys.

Together Again

Together Again
written and performed by Buck Owens

Together again, my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights, are now at an end
The key to my heart, you hold in your hand
And nothing else matters now, we're together again

Together again, the gray skies are gone
You're back in my arms, now where you belong
The love that I knew is living again
And nothing else matters now, we're together again
And nothing else matters, we're together again

A great duet performance with Don Rich
