Dreaming My Dreams with You
(Allen Reynolds)
I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore
I hope that I've learned this time
I hope that I find what I'm reaching for
The way that it is in my mind
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you
I won't let it change me
Not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away
As much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you

WEDDING BELLS
Words and music by Claude Boone
I have the invitation that you sent me
You wanted me to [A] see you change your name
I couldn't stand to see you wed another
But dear I hope you're happy just the same.
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing now for you and me
Down the aisle with someone else you're walkin'
Those wedding bells will never ring for me.
I planned a little cottage in the valley
I even bought a little band of gold
I thought some day I'd place it on your finger
But now the future looks so dark and cold.
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
I hear the children laughing now with glee
At home alone I hang my head in sorrow
For wedding bells will never ring for me.
I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
While the organ plays I love you truly
Please let me pretend that I am there.
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
Ever since the day you set me free
I knew someday that you would wed another
But wedding bells will never ring for me.

SPINNER OF TALES
Oh I’m a spinner of tales
And a drinker of wine
A chaser of tales
And a possessor of vice
But I got this guitar
And I got me some wheels
So I’ll say what I think in my heart
And I'll go where I feel
Chorus:
But I think that I love you
And I like feeling this way
And I know you don’t believe in my stories
So I’ll shut up right now whatever gets you to stay
Oh I’m a spiller of drinks
A maker of noise
And a winker of winks
For a second of joy
Oh I’m a drinker of beer
A writer of words
But ain’t no shedder of tears
No matter what you heard
Chorus
Oh I’m a strummer of chords
And a smile when you’re sad
Elusive as Hell for sure
But I like it like that
Oh I’m no real poet
Just a singer of songs
But Hell we all make it up don’t you know it
As we go along
Chorus
