Sweet Love Goodbye (lyrics)
Written by Lee Casale

Goodbye, goodbye
I'm bidding my whole love goodbye

The flame of love is not dying
Winds of deceit bring the rain
My soul deep within me is crying
Unsheltered my heart now knows pain

Goodbye, goodbye
Sweet love oh Sweet Love Goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye
I'm bidding my whole love goodbye

I will not forget that you loved me
I will not regret you deceived
I'm better off living without you
Another I'll never believe

Goodbye, goodbye
Sweet love oh Sweet Love Goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye
I'm bidding my whole love goodbye		 Mr. Lonesome (lyrics)
Written by Tompall Glaser

I've got no fire inside me
Can't be the man I try to be
Old Mr. Lonesome's hangin' 'round

Don't want to see nobody
Don't want to be nobody
Old Mr. Lonesome's got me down

He makes me leave the party
When folks are laughin' hearty
Happiness is one thing he can't stand

Nobody wants or needs me
I go just where he leads me
Old Mr. Lonesome's got my hand

He makes me leave the party
When folks are laughin' hearty
Happiness is one thing he can't stand

Nobody wants or needs me
I go just where he leads me
Old Mr. Lonesome's got me down

Old Mr. Lonesome's got me...down

Let Me Down Easy (lyrics)
Written by Tompall Glaser/Jim Glaser

Authors note:  I love this song, "Let Me Down Easy"!
This version, written by Tompall and Jim, goes to the heart of heartbreak. From the true "blues" sound of the  piano, to the soft, subtle "teardrop" wail of the steel guitar, this arrangement fits the title of the song like a glove.

(lyrics)
Let Me Down Easy if you must go
Why not deceive me you won't hurt me so
Truth is so painful tell me a lie
Let Me Down Easy and I'll get by

Let Me Down Easy for old times sake
Is it too much to ask when my heart's gonna' break
I'm bound to lose you, and  bound to cry
Oh, Let Me Down Easy and I'll get by

Let Me Down Easy for old times sake
Is it too much to ask when my heart's gonna' break
I'm bound to lose you, and  bound to cry
Oh, Let Me Down Easy and I'll get by
