Somebody's missing you. Longs to be kissing you. You'd better listen. You mean all the world to me. You're on somebody's mind. Just almost all the time.
(Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton). . Tonight all is quiet in Mission Chapel. And the music, like his love, has died away. And I'm standing in the middle of these memories.
Miss me,. Don't you miss someone to hold you, now in the end?. And kiss me. And tell me I'm your lil' girl again. . Daddy, when you left, did you remove yourself.
A little white house with black wooden shadows. A porch with its columns all covered with vine. My broken dream house where he lives with another. But this was supposed to be mine.
(Lee Fikes). . I'm gonna get on that old turnpike and I'm gonna ride. I'm gonna leave this town 'til you decide. Which one you want the most, them Opery stars or me.
Sleigh bells ring are you listening in the lane snow is glistening. A beautiful sight we're happy tonight walking in the winter wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird here to stay is a newbird.

Busted flat in Baton rouge. Headin' for the train. Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down. Just before it rained. Took us all the way to New Orleans.
On a cold winty night as the winds blew across the wild moor. Poor Mary came wandering home with her child. Till she came at her own father's door. . Papa oh papa she cried come down and open the door.
(Dolly Parton). . Well I met a boy from Grassy Branch. Fine as he can be. I met him at the big barn dance. And he took a shine to me. Sky-blue eyes, a big wide smile.

Making believe that you still love me. It's leaving me alone and so blue. I'll always dream, still I'll never own you. Making believe, its all I can do.
You say tomorrow you're going. It's so hard for me to believe. I'm making plans for the heartaches. 'Cause you're making plans to leave. The tears for me will be falling.
Of all the roads I've traveled and all the sights I've seen. The most amazing thing is the power of our dreams. And anything is possible for those who can believe.
