Pieces of A Wet Paper Heart (contest)(In the voice of The Great Patsy Cline)

"You want me to act like we've never kissed"
          (Pasty Cline - i fall to pieces)
but the "Sweet Dreams" of our last kiss
made me "Crazy"
then I've ever been

so, I go out
'Walkin' After Midnight"
just to chase
the feeling
of a "Faded Love" away
saying to myself
"I've Loved and Lost Again"
and will i ever love again

just
"A Church, a Courtroom, Then Goodbye"
that left your "Fingerprints" of "Heartaches"
so
"I Don't Wanta" love you anymore
but "I Love You, Honey"
"I Love You So Much It Hurts"

"I'll Sail My Ship Alone"
"Today, Tomorrow and Forever"
and it will be
"There He Goes"
walking away from me
singin' "I'm Moving Along"

and i be crying "That's My Desire"
he took my whole heart
and he was my "Walkin' Dream"

"Who Can I Count On"
to love me now
"Why Can't He Be You"

"Yes I Understand"
"Your Kinda Love"
"You're Stronger Than Me"
"You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It)"

it so "Strange"
"She's Got You"
and i wish i was
in her "Shoes"

"Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You)"
and i may not
"Stop, Look and Listen"
but just
"Turn the Cards Slowly"
"Then You'll Know"
the difference between
"A Poor Man's Roses (Or a Rich Man's Gold)"

"Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home"
"The Heart Your Break My Be Your Own"
"Hidin' Out" "***** Tonk Merry-Go-Round"
"Hungry for Love" in all the wrong places
