Medley: I Love You Drops/Quits/Heavenly Sunshine/S

Bill Anderson · Live from London [MCA] [1975]

I Love You Drops.................

(Bill Anderson)



They're not teardrops

Just sincere drops

They're I love you drops

'Cause I love you. (I love you.)



They were on my pillow

When I woke up this morning

They were on the letter I tried all day to write

And just a little while ago

I saw them falling

On your picture as I kissed it goodnight.



I love you drops

I miss you drops

Hurry home drops

You've been gone so long drops.



They're not teardrops

Just sincere drops

That say I'm lonesome

And I love you. (I love you.)



--- Instrumental ---



Never knew this heart could hurt

The way it hurts for you

Never lived so many lifetimes in a week

Why don't you come back to me

The way you said you would

And kiss these little crystals off my cheek.



I love you drops

I miss you drops

Hurry home drops

You've been gone so long drops.



They're not teardrops

Just sincere drops

That say I'm lonesome

And I love you. (hurry home.)



I love you. (I love you.)...



Quits..................

(Bill Anderson)



We couldn't call it love

'Cause it really wasn't love anymore

Yet we couldn't call it hate

'Cause there's no way to hate

Someone you've loved so much before.



We couldn't call it livin'

'Cause it wasn't still alive

We couldn't call it dead

'Cause it refused to die

We ran out of anything to call it

So we called it quits.



Quits, quits, we called it quits

It sounds like the easy way out

But oh, when it hits

The longer you live with someone

You can't live with, the harder it gets.



We called it magic

Then we called it tragic

Finally we called it quits

It's always been harder

To fall out of love than fall in

I don't know where I'm goin'

But I doubt if I'll ever forget where I've been.



We couldn't call it happy

Though it was for a while

We couldn't call it sad

'Cause it taught us both to smile

For luck for a better word to call it

We called it quits.



Quits, quits, we called it quits

It sounds like the easy way ou

But oh, when it hits

The longer you live with someone

You can't live with, the harder it gets.



We called it lovely

Then we called it lonely

Finally we called it quits

We called it magic

Then we called it tragic

Finally we called it quits...

Your love is heavenly sunshine

You fill my heart with your sweet love so divine

You make me happy because your love is mine...



Sweet Lovin' ................

(P.T. Waller)

Bill Anderson & Jimmy Gateley



Sweet, sweet lovin' warms my heart inside

Sweet, sweet lovin' keeps me satisfied

I touch Heaven when your arms reach to hold me tight

You give me sweet, sweet lovin' every night

Sweet lovin' every night...
