Just you know why - why you and I
will by and by - know true love ways
Sometimes we'll sigh - sometimes we'll cry
and we'll know why just you and I know true love ways
Throughout the days our true love ways
will bring us joys to share with those who really care
Sometimes we'll sigh - sometimes we'll cry

Thanks thanks a lot I got a broken heart that's all I've got
You made me cry now I cried a lot I lost your love baby thanks a lot
You told our friend as I was passin' by that you're not sorry that you made me cry
You said I deserve just what I got well if that's how you feel honey thanks a lot
Thanks thanks a lot...
You wanted a fool and I played the part now all I've got is a broken heart
We loved a little and laughed a lot then you were gone honey thanks a lot
My heart's not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of livin' solitaire
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high-wire act I know
Someday I'll find a net below
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
I want a heart to be forever mine
Want eyes to see me satisfied
Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry
Some day I'm gonna be safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
Satin sheets to lie on, satin pillows to cry on
Still I'm not happy don't you see
Big long Cadillac, tailor made's upon my back
Still I want you to set me free
I've found another man who can give more than you can
Though you've given me everything, money can buy
But your money can't hold me tight like he does on a long long night
And no, you didn't keep me satisfied
Satin sheets to lie on, satin pillows to cry on
Still I'm not happy don't you see
Big long Cadillac, tailor made's upon my back
Still I want you to set me free
Satin sheets to lie on, satin pillows to cry on
Still I'm not happy don't you see
Big long Cadillac, tailor made's upon my back
Still I want you to set me free
Still I want you to set me free
Don't need no copy of vogue magazine
Don't need to dress like no Beauty Queen
High heels or sneakers, he don't give a damn
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am
He never tells me I'm not good enough
Just gives me unconditional love
He loves me tender, he loves me mad
He loves me silly and he loves me sad
He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
He's always sayin' he's my biggest fan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am
When there's dark clouds in my eyes
He just sits back and lets 'em roll on by
Come in like a lion and go out like a lamb
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am
He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
He's always sayin' he's my biggest fan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
Don't see no reason to change my plan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daugter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
If I was a raindrop I would be fallin'
I would be fallin' by now
If I was a rocket I would be flyin'
I would be flyin' by now
If I was a wise man I would be doin'
What I should be doin' by now
'Cause you're like a new key made with the wrong cut
Stuck, tryin' to break into my home
You're like a bottle sent with a message
But you're sinkin' like a stone
If I had your name
I'd be changin' it right now
If I was a blanket I would be foldin'
I would be foldin' by now
If I was a fast train I would be speedin'
Smokin' and steamin' with a hell of a sound
If I was a gambler I'd go for the quick win
I'd cash all my chips in and get outta town
'Cause you're like a new key made with the wrong cut
Stuck, tryin' to break into my home
You're like a bottle sent with a message
But you're sinkin' like a stone
If I had your name
I'd be changin' it right now
'Cause you're like a new key made with the wrong cut
Stuck, tryin' to break into my home
You're like a bottle sent with a message
But you're sinkin' like a stone
If I had your name
I'd be changin' it right now
Take the ribbon from your hair,
Shake it loose and let it fall,
Layin' soft upon my skin.
Like the shadows on the wall.
Come and lay down by my side
'till the early morning light
All I'm takin' is your time.
Help me make it through the night.
I don't care what's right or wrong,
I don't try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow.
Lord, tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight.
And it's sad to be alone.
Help me make it through the night.
I don't care what's right or wrong,
I don't try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow.
Lord, tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight.
Lord, it's bad to be alone.
The way you treat me baby
Cheat and tell me lies
I guess I shouldn't care at all
But still I sympathize
'Cause you got heart trouble comin' on
Yeah you got heart trouble comin' on
Well you think that you don't need me baby
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You say that love can't touch you
You feel no pain at all
You think that you're above it baby
But I believe you'll fall
'Cause you got heart trouble comin' on
Yeah you got heart trouble comin' on
Well you'll get down on you knees baby
Begging me to come back home
You tell me you'll find someone else
But no one's gonna care
'Cause you have left a trail
Of broken hearts everywhere
Now you got heart trouble comin' on
Yeah you got heart trouble comin' on
Well you'll know just how it feels baby
Occurred to me the other day
You been gone now a couple years
Well I guess it takes a while
For someone to really disappear
And I remember where I was
When the word came about you
It was a day much like today
The sky was bright and wide and blue
And I wonder where you are
And if the pains ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Some better way to say goodbye
Today my heart is big and sore
It's tryin' to push right through my skin
Won't see you anymore
I guess that's finally sinkin' in
'Cause you can't make somebody see
With the simple words you say
All their beauty from within
Sometimes they just look away
And I wonder where you are
And if the pains ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Some better way to say goodbye
How can you just stand there
And act like nothing's wrong
You haven't even kissed me
Or held me for so long
There's no lipstick on your collar
There's no perfume on your clothes
There's no number on a matchbook
But a woman always knows
A woman knows without asking
A woman knows what's left unsaid
A woman knows when a man's been sleeping
In someone else's bed
I don't have all the answers
And you haven't left a clue
But in my heart there's just no question
You've found somebody new
A woman knows without asking
A woman knows what's left unsaid
A woman knows when a man's been sleeping
In someone else's bed
When you refuse to talk about it
In your silence my suspicion grows
You don't have to paint a picture
Somehow a woman knows
You don't have to paint a picture
People talking, think I'm all right
Think I'm doin' fine
Goin' through the motions of my life
Go to work now every mornin'
Yeah I play the part
And hide away the contents of my solemn heart
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
I can't control the flood of all these tears inside
And if they only knew
They'd be so surprised
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
Keep 'em guessin', keep 'em laughin'
Build that wall up high
As long as they don't see the other side
You've really done it
Done a number, a number on my soul
But I'll be damned if I'll ever let you know
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
There's no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and I
Yeah, I wear it well
Though it ain't my size
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
I'm not one to show emotion
Like some fools I see
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve
I don't miss you
Not for a moment
I'm gonna be okay
Words of wisdom spoken
By the light of day
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
Your memory pulls me under like a strong riptide
I'm still in love with you
It's all smoke and lights
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
I'm rolling out of Bakersfield
My own private hell on wheels
But this time I'm gone for good
I've never gone this far before
Beyond the slammin' of the back screen door
But you never loved me like you should
And there ain't no telling what I'll find
But I might as well move down the line
'Cause there's no comfort here in your zip code
I'd rather break down on the highway
With no one to share my load
And cry on the shoulder of the road
It makes me feel a little low
Steel guitar on the radio
And it's kinda scary the way these truckers fly
So this is how leavin' feels
Drinking coffee and makin' deals with the One above
To get me through the night
'Cause there ain't no telling what I'll find
But I might as well move down the line
'Cause there's no comfort here in your zip code
I'd rather break down on the highway
With no one to share my load
And cry on the shoulder of the road
And there ain't no telling what I'll find
But I might as well move down the line
'Cause there's no comfort here in your zip code
I'd rather break down on the highway
With no one to share my load
And cry on the shoulder of the road
Walkin' around, rain comin' down
I don't mind at all.
Let all the clouds, tear up and drown us
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Cause when I'm with you,
It really don't matter
If we're walking around
With a broken umbrella
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!
With your hand in mine,
The sun always shines,
No matter what the weatherman says.
I don't mind the flood,
Let's splash through the puddles,
Baby this is just as good as it gets, oh yeah.
Cause when I'm with you,
It really don't matter
If we're walking around
With a broken umbrella
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!
So kiss me (So kiss me)
Like you mean it (Like you mean it)
Like a blue sky (Like a blue sky)
Like a June rain (Like a June rain)
(Like a June rain)
Cause when I'm with you,
It really don't matter
If we're walking around
With a broken umbrella
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, oh yeah
Sometimes I'm an ordinary girl, wrapped in my ordinary world
I just wanna listen to the rain, and stay in bed all day
Other times I'm extraverted, speak my mind and I don't worry who,
might disagree or what anyone might say
I don't listen to the critics
Believin' all their cynics
I don't need that kind of advice
Cause I'm doing alright
Chorus
Just being myself
that's all that i can be
Happy being me
don't really wanna be nobody else
I know who i am
and the one thing i do, well..
Is just being myself, yeah yeah
I can be the drama queen, where my emotions on my sleeve
Sometimes, I know, I’m a little hard to handle
Other days I rather stay at home and have the leave me alone
I just need some space, just a little space
I don't listen to the critics
Believin' all their cynics
No I don't have the time
Cause I'm doin' alright
Repeat Chorus
Don’t really wanna be nobody else
I know who I am and the one thing I do well,
Every time I turn around
I run right into your pride
Sometimes I'm not so sure if I wanna
Know that guy, know that guy
'Cause you've got a rock hard head
Stubborn as a mule
Oh, yeah, and by the way, I still love you
Go on and be that way
Slam that door
Make a scene
Yell some more
Come on let's have it out
Have your say
'Cause with a love this strong
Baby it's okay
For you to be that way
Sometimes what you don't say
Can make the deepest cut
And I get my feelings hurt
And I just go nuts, well a little nuts
So try to ignore that girl
She's just blowin' off steam
Oh and I don't know about her
But I hope you say to me
Go on and be that way
Slam that door
Make a scene
Yell some more
Come on let's have it out
Have your say
'Cause with a love this strong
Baby it's okay
For you to be that way
Baby let's get emotional
What do you say we let it all go
Let it go
Go on and be that way
Slam that door
Make a scene
Yell some more
Come on let's have it out
Have your say
'Cause with a love this strong
Baby it's okay
For you to be that way
What do you dream about
Look at the stars, honey
All you gotta do is pick one out
And it's there for you
I'll be the one who makes
Your every dream come true
Close your eyes and baby
Make a wish and baby
I'll give you anything and everything
The sky's the limit and my heart is in it
I'll give you anything and everything
Anything and everything
Where do you want to go
Look at the world, baby
All you gotta do is just say so
And I'll take you there
Oh yeah, you know that
Love can take you anywhere
Close your eyes and baby
Make a wish and baby
I'll give you anything and everything
The sky's the limit and my heart is in it
I'll give you anything and everything
Anything and everything
I could spoil you
Make it easy
Make you happy if you let me
Won't you let me
I'll be the one who makes
Your every dream come true
Close your eyes and baby
Make a wish and baby
I'll give you anything and everything
The sky's the limit and my heart is in it
I'll give you anything and everything
(I'll give you) anything and everything
(I'll give you) anything and everything
I need time
to get you off my mind
and I may sometimes bother you
Try to be in touch with you
Even ask to much of you from time to time
Now and then
Lord you know I'll need a friend
Til I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using you
Until I can make it on my own
I'll get by
But no matter how I try
There be times I will call
Chances are my tears will fall
and I'll have no pride at all
From time to time
But they say
Oh there will be brighter days
But til then I'll lean you
Thats all I need to do
Til I can make it on my own
Surely one day
I'll look up and see the morning sun
Without another loney night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you
and all my cryings done
No more hurting memories can find me
But til then
Lord you know I'm going to need a freind
Til I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using you
Until I can make it on my own
Oh the sun's gonna shine in my life once more love's gonna live here again
Things're gonna be the way they were before love's gonna live here again
Love's gonna live here love's gonna live here love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness only happiness love's gonna live here again
I hear bells're ringin' birds're singin' love's gonna live here again
And I hear bees a hummin' well I know the days're comin' love's gonna live here again
Once my love was good enough
True happiness we knew
Then fame and fortune came your way
And made a change in you
You'll find your ladder of success
Is not on solid ground
And when it starts to tumble
Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up when dreams are shattered
When false friends cannot be found
For you know i'll still be waiting
Pick me up on your way down
You've hit the top, but it won't last
There's just one way to go
The world you've chosen is not real
These things you'll come to know
When folks say they don't know you
And you've lost your final round
When you find that you are lonely
I'll need time
To get you off my mind
I may sometimes bother you
Try to be in touch with you
Even ask too much of you
From time to time
Now and then
Lord ya know I'm gonna need a friend
Til I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using you
Til I can make it on my own
I'll get by
But no matter how I try
There'll be times you know I'll call
Chances are my tears will fall
And I'll have no pride at all
From time to time
But they say
Oh there'll be a brighter day
But til then I'll lean on you
That's all I mean to do
Til I can make it on my own
Surely someday I'll wake up and see the mornin sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done
No more hurtin memories to find me
But til then
Lord ya know I'm gonna need a friend
Til I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using you
Til I can make it on my own
Heartache number 1 was when you...left me,
I never knew that I could hurt this way,
And heartache number 2,
Was when you...come back again,
You came back and never meant to stay.
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
Troubles by the score,
Every day you love me less,
Each day I love you more,
Yes, I've got heartaches by the number,
A love that I can't win,
But the day that I stop counting,
That's the day my world will end.
Heartache number 3 was when you...called me,
And said that you was coming back to stay,
With hopeful heart I waited,
For your...knock on the door,
Lock up your husbands
Lock up your sons
Lock up your whiskey cabinets
Girls lock up your guns
And Lock up the beauty shop
No tellin if they've heard the news
Call the boys downtown and Neiman Marcus
Tell Em' lock them high heeled shoes
Chorus:
When God fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap down a tellin what they're gonna do
Run around yellin
I've got a mustang it'll do 80
You don't have to be my baby
I stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my, be my, be my baby
Call all the decons
Call the ladies aid
Call all the altos, sopranos
Tenors call every bass
Well call all the pentacostals
And bring all the annointing oil too
Well call the preacher
He's the only one who can reach her
And there ain't no time to lose
Chorus:
When God fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap down a tellin what they're gonna do
Run around yellin
I've got a mustang it'll do 80
You don't have to be my baby
I stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my, be my, be my baby
She's on all our prayer lists
She's on all our hearts
As for the easter cantada
We don't know who'll sing her part
When God fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap down or tellin what they're gonna do
Run around yellin
I've got a mustang it'll do 80
You don't have to be my baby
I stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my, be my, be my baby
Oh the sun's gonna shine in my life once more
Love's gonna live here again
Things are gonna be the way they were before
Love's gonna live here again
Love's gonna live here love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness only happiness
Love's gonna live here again
I hear bells a-ringin' I hear birds are singin'
Love's gonna live here again
And I hear bees a-hummin' well I know the days are comin'
Love's gonna live here again
Love's gonna live here...
How can you just stand there and act like nothing's wrong
You haven't even kissed me or held me for so long
There's no lipstick on your collar there's no perfume on your clothes
There's no number on a matchbook but a woman always knows
A woman knows without asking a woman knows what's left unsaid
A woman knows when a man's been sleeping in someone else's bed
[ steel ]
I don't have all the answers and you haven't left a clue
But in my heart there's just no question you've found somebody new
A woman knows without asking...
When you refuse to talk about it in your silence my suspicion grows
You don't have to paint a picture somehow a woman knows
You don't have to paint a picture somehow a woman knows
What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own Him,
The King of kings, salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
This Uncivil War
(Gretchen Peters)
There's a silence on the front lines
You can cut it with a knife
You can stay and take your changes
Or you can run to save your life
And one side is retreating
And the other's runnin scared
And the drums of war are beating
Even through its undeclared
And both sides say they're winning
And both sides know they're losing
And neither one knows what they're fighting for
And in the quiet little places
You can see the little faces
Huddled right outside the bedroom door
Praying for an end to this uncivil war
Papa needs a new job
So he's swallowing his pride
Oh, but it don't go down easy
And it eats him up inside
And mama, she don't notice
Little sister's ragged dress
Lately she don't notice
Much of anything
I guess
They're just fightin off the hunger
Tryin to keep from goin under
But the wolves just keep on
Gatherin' round the door
There's no place to run for cover
So they're turning on each other
Cause there really ain't no winners anymore
Just victims of this uncivil war
There's a silence on the front lines
You can cut it with a knife
You can stay and take your chances
Or you can run to save your life
Time has come to let you go my tears will run and they'll keep me afloat
I set you adrift like a burning boat the time has come to let you go
The time has come to turn you loose it took my heart this long to face the truth
If I lost you I can lose these blues the time has come to turn you loose
We had our moment in the sun but that time has come and now that time is gone
[ steel - guitar ]
The time has come to set you free tonight's the night I'll untie all these dreams
I'll send them away so I can find some piece the time has come to set you free
Time has come to let you go my tears will run...
I'm gonna let you go
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And then today I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
I guess I should have known the worst was yet to come
And the crying time for me had just begun
Today I started loving you again
Today I started loving you
I know she must've cut you deep
She's gone but you won't let her leave
I know your heart has not healed yet
But sometimes I think that you forget
That wasn't me
That wasn't me
I'm not the one
Who made love bring you to your knees
You can't love if you can't trust
Her memory's hurt you long enough
Let your heart see
That wasn't me
I can no longer pay the price
For damage done by her careless lies
We can't move on 'til you let go
I always thought by now you'd know
That wasn't me
That wasn't me
I'm not the one
Who made love bring you to your knees
You can't love if you can't trust
Her memory's hurt you long enough
Let your heart see
That wasn't me
You can't love if you can't trust
Her memory's hurt you long enough
Let your heart see
I was walking down the street
In my blue jeans and my bare feet
I saw old Mrs. Mayo in her garden so high
She got her prize azaleas
And her big ole fat tomatoes
She invited me in to have a piece of her pie
And later on I thought I'd head on down
By the Caley River to the old rope swing
There was a bunch of kids laughin' and jumpin' in
I sat down on the grass and I just watched them play
And all my worries seemed to wash away
Oh it's a magical thing
When the sun is shinging down on me
And this is such a beautiful place
Don't wanna miss a minute of today it's
So magical
Tonight I'll go home and write myself a letter
Tell myself to live a little freer and love a little better
Gonna soak it in like there's no tomorrow
And drink up every second like a big ole glass of water
Oh I feel like I could fly
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born.
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.
(Marc Beeson/Kin Vassey/David MacKechnie)
With lipstick on his collar and a trace of cheap perfume
He undresses in the darkness and eases into bed
With her face turned to the other wall she pretends to be asleep
But it doesn't really matter 'cause there's nothing to be said
He calls from work to tell her he's sorry about last night
If he uses all the right words she'll forgive him once again
But the phone just keeps on ringin' and knows something's wrong
He feels his heart start pounding, and his head begins to spin
Chorus:
Phones are ringin' all over town
North and south and east and west on main street up and down
He's got friends of his callin' friends of hers
But she's nowhere to be found
Phones are ringin' all over town
He calls the hospital, her sister's house and the place that does her hair
God, if somethin' ever happened he'd surely lose his mind
And he's thinkin' it's just like she's disappeared into thin air
As American flight #204 departs right on time
REPEAT CHORUS
Well he knows she'd never leave him
She's just got to be around
Phones are ringin'
Phones are ringin'
Phones are ringin' all over town
Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away
Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took you away
Well if you do, then forgive me
And make the world, make it go away
Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away
Now I'm sorry if I hurt you
Let me make it up to you day by day
And if you will please forgive me
And make the world, make it go away
Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you
And even if the sun refuse to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
You're all i need
My love, my valentine
All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
In my dreams i couldnt love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time
You're all i need
My love, my valentine
La da da
Da da da da
And even if the sun refuse to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
Cuz all i need
Is you, my valentine
You're all i need
My love, my valentine
Don't tell me no stories I don't wanna hear no lies
No reasons, or excuses, none of you alibis
The phone rings I pick it up nobody's on the line
I know she's waiting for you she's just biding her time
You'd have me believe it's just a night out with your friends
But I know you're going back to see her again
You're stealing love
Living on life #9
Breaking my heart
Living on borrowed time
You're cattin' around
Playing with fire
You're stealing love
Living on life #9
Your runnin' on empty troubles on every side
You've used up your last chance
You've got no place to hide
I'm tired of these heartaches tired of livin' a lie
Go to her she's waitin'
But someday you're gonna find
The grass ain't always greener on the other side
Now what you thought was love was what you left behind
You're stealing love
Living on life #9
Breaking my heart
Living on borrowed time
You're cattin' around
Playing with fire
You're stealing love
Living on life #9
You're stealing love
Living on life #9
Breaking my heart
Living on borrowed time
You're cattin' around
Playing with fire
You're stealing love
Living on life #9
I tried to hold our love together but you let us fall apart
Now your leaving me for someone else taking what's left of my heart
But this time the pain don't feel that same I'm not aching like I should
Cause loving you has hurt so bad that losing you feels good
I know you'll come back running to me when the thrill is dead and gone
And you realize the love you need was right here all along
When you try to restore what we had before there's no way you ever could
Cause loving you has hurt so bad that losing you feels good
Don't get me wrong I'll still long to hold you every night
But my heart can't take another break when there's no relief in sight
I guess you're wondering why I haven't cried cause usually I would
But loving you has hurt so bad that losing you feels good
If there was a way to make you stay I wouldn't if I could
Cause loving you has hurt so bad that losing you feels good
Confetti fallin' from the sky
My hometown on the 4th of July
A midnight snow on Christmas Eve
Like standin' up for what you believe
That's how I feel when I'm with you
That's how I feel when I'm with you
That's how I feel
That's how I feel when I'm with you
Your lucky coat, the first day of fall
When you wake up laughin' just because
An old church door that stays wide open
A perfect heart that's never been broken
That's how I feel when I'm with you
Every day there's something new
To cry about, to laugh about
Those moments I can't live without
That's how I feel
That's how I feel
Heartache number 1 was when you...left me,
I never knew that I could hurt this way,
And heartache number 2,
Was when you...come back again,
You came back and never meant to stay.
Chorus
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
Troubles by the score,
Every day you love me less,
Each day I love you more,
Yes, I've got heartaches by the number,
A love that I can't win,
But the day that I stop counting,
That's the day my world will end.
Heartache number 3 was when you...called me,
And said that you was coming back to stay,
With hopeful heart I waited,
For your...knock on the door,
I waited but you must have lost your way.
Repeat Chorus
Occurred to me the other day
You've been gone now a couple years
Well I guess it takes a while
For someone to really disappear
And I remember where I was
When the word came about you
It was a day much like today
The sky was bright and wide and blue
Chorus
And I wonder where you are
And if the pain ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Some better way to say goodbye
Today my heart is big and sore
It's trying to push right through my skin
Won't see you anymore
I guess that's finally sinking in
Cause you can't make somebody see
With the simple words you say
All their beauty from within
Sometimes they just look away
Chorus
Some better way to say goodbye
I know a girl she was a waitress
Had a big spirit 'til she let her boyfriend break it
He always talked her down, he took her pride and kicked it 'round
Yeah, took it as long as she could take it
She left a note on the dresser and hung up her apron
Cry, cry 'til the sun shines baby
Cry, cry 'til the sun shines
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright, baby
I know a man who tried to ease his mind
Chase his regrets with any bottle he could find
Life cut him down so low, it took his pride and broke his soul, yeah
'Til he forgave himself and let it go
We're all here just tryin' to live our lives
Payin' our electric bills and spendin' up our time
When there ain't a friend to be found
You can't break through the concrete clouds
(James House/Sam Hogin/Phil Barnhart)
She loved him like he was
The last man on Earth
Gave hime everything she ever had
He'd break her spirit down
Then come lovin' up to her
Give a little, then take it back
She'd tell him about her dreams
He'd just shoot 'em down
Lord he loved to make her cry
"You're crazy for believin'
You'll ever leave the ground"
He said, "Only angels know how to fly"
And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly
One Sunday morning
She didn't go to church
He wondered why she didn't leave
He went up to the bedroom
Found a note by the window
With the curtains blowin' in the breeze
And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly
The sun is shining every day, clouds never get in the way for you and me
I've known you just a week or two, but baby i'm so into you, can hardly breath
and I'm in, so totally wrapped up
emotionally attracted
so physically actin'
so wrecklessly I need you,
so desperatly sure as the sky is blue
Baby, I love you, I love you
I never knew that I could feel like this, can hardly wait till our next kiss, you're so cool
If I'm dreamin' please don't wake me up, cause baby I can't get enough of what you do
and I'm in, so electrically charged up
conetically actin', eratically need you
Fanatically you get to me, magically sure as the sky is blue
Baby, I love you
I can't believe that this is real, the way I feel
baby I've gone head over heels
and I'm in, so totally wrapped up
emotionally attracted
so physically actin'
so wrecklessly I need you,
so desperatly sure as the sky is blue, yea
and I'm in, so electrically charged up
conetically actin', eratically need you
Fanatically you get to me, magically sure as the sky is blue
Baby, I love you
Baby I love you, do you love me too? Baby I love youuuuuuu!
Away in a manger,
no crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky
looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus,
asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing,
the poor Baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus,
no crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus,
look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
till morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay,
Close by me forever,
and love me, I pray!
Bless all the dear children
in Thy tender care
And take us to heaven,
The sky's been gray every day since I lost you
But I know the sun is shinin' somewhere...beyond the blue
My eyes were red when you said that we were through
But now I can see better days for me...just beyond the blue
Beyond the blue...on the other side of lonely
And it's only a matter of time...until I'm
Lookin' back and feelin' like I'm over you
And these tears are gone and I'm beyond the blue
Beyond the blue...on the other side of lonely
And it's only a matter of time...until I'm
On my feet and I meet somebody new
And I fall in love again beyond the blue
I'll be home for Christmas;
You can plan on one.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
This is no
Yellow brick road
We've been travelin' on
A river of tears
Washed us here
We're right where we belong
We rode it out
No we didn't drown
And look at what we've found
Every street we take
Is paved with truth
If a mountain's in our way
That's a mountain we move
Baby there ain't nothin' we can't do
Since me and you
Built a city of love
Through shiftin' sands
With our own hands
We dug to solid ground
Where we found out
What love's about
Yeah there's no stoppin' us now
Yeah on our own stone by stone
Between the perfect world and the bottom line
Keeping love alive in these troubled times
It's a miracle in itself
And we know too well what that's about
Still we made it through, only God knows how
We must've had a little help
(Must've been)
CHORUS
Wild Angels, Wild Angels
Watching over you and me
Wild Angels, Wild Angels
Baby what else could it be
Well it must've been hard, it must've been tough
Keeping up with crazy fools like us
'Cause it's so easy to fall apart
And we still break each other's heart sometimes
Spend some nights on the jagged side
Somehow we wake up in each other's arms
(Must've been)
(REPEAT CHORUS)
BRIDGE
There are some nights
I watch you while you dream
At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song again
At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known well
You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
i wonder where your heart is
cause it sure don't feel like its here
sometimes i think you wish
that i would just disappear
have i got it all wrong
have you felt this way long
are you already gone
do you feel lonely
when your here by my side
does the sound of freedom
echo in your mind
do you wish you were by yourself
or that i was someone else
anyone else
chorus:
where would you be
if you weren't here with me
where would you go
if you were single and free
who would you love
would it be me
where would you be
i don't wanna hold you back
no i don't wanna slow you down
i don't wanna make you feel
like your all tied up and bound
'cause thats not what loves about
if theres no chance we could work it out
oh, tell me, tell me
tell me now
repeat chorus
have i become the enemy
is it hard to be yourself in my company
repeat chorus
oh tell me, tell me now
where will you be
where will you go
who will you love
would it be me
There was a time when I was sure
that you and I were truely one,
that our future was forever
and would never come undone,
and we came so close to be close...
and thought you cared for me
there's distance in your eyes tonight
so we're not meant to be.
The love is gone,
the love is gone,
the sweetest dream
that we had ever known.
The love is gone,
the love is gone,
I wish you well
but I must leave you now alone.
There comes a moment in your life
like a window, and you see
that your future is there before you
and how perfect life would be,
but adventures call with unknown voices
pulling you away...
Be careful or you may regret
the choices you made someday...
When love is gone,
when love is gone,
the sweetest dream
that we had ever known.
When love is gone,
when love is gone,
I wish you well
but I must leave you now alone.
It was almost love,
it was almost always,
it was like a fairytale we'd live out
you and I.
And yes some dreams come true,
and yes some dreams go trough...
and yes the time has come
for us to say goodbye.
Yes some dreams come true,
and yes some dreams go trough...
yes the time has come
for us to say goodbye
Sometimes I feel like I never quite fit in
Like I'm always a little out of place
It's hard to be everything to everyone
There's so many roles I have to play
Sometimes I'm just barely hanging on
Seems like I'm always fighting to be strong
To find somewhere that I belong
When you love me every part of me feels
Like I'm right where I'm meant to be
When you touch me you reach through to
My soul to the truest place in me
Baby in your arms I'm free
To just be a woman
I can't believe how beautiful I feel
There is nothing here to hide
I'm unafraid and so completely real
Oh and never more alive
This life can be so hard to understand
But your eyes oh they see me as I am
And you take me as I am
Baby hold me close never let me go
Never let me go
When you are old and tired and gray
Wear you overcoat on sunny days
When your brave tales have all been told
I'll ask for them when you are old
When you are old and full of sleep
And death no longer makes you weep
When your body aches with cold
I'll warm your heart when you are old
You'll still be the same to me
A comfort and a mystery
And I will be able to see
I'll need someone to comfort me
When you are old and pale and gone
A gentle hand is all you want
I will give you mine to hold
And I'll be here when you are old
Yes, I will give you mine to hold
Why does the color of my coffee match your eyes?
Why do I see you when a stranger passes by?
I swear I hear you in the whisper of the wind
I feel you when the sun is dancin on my skin
And when it's rainin
You won't find me complainin cause
CHORUS:
When I think about rain,
I think about singin
When I think about singin,
It's a heavenly tune
When I think about heaven,
I think about angels
When I think about angels,
I think about you
The taste of sugar sure reminds me of your kiss
I like the way that they both linger on my lips
Kisses remind me of a field of butterfies
Must be the way my heart is fluttering inside
Beautiful distraction,
You make every thought a chain reaction
CHORUS:
When I think about rain,
I think about singin
When I think about singin,
Its a heavenly tune,
When I think about heaven,
I think about angels
When I think about angels,
I think about you
Anywhere I go,
Anything I do,
Everything around me baby
Makes me think of you
CHORUS:
When I think about rain,
I think about singin
When I think about singin,
It's a heavenly tune
When I think about heaven,
I think about angels
When I think about angels.
I think about you
(repeat 3 times)
She was the prom queen
He was the quarterback
of the football team
And it all looked so promising
we never thought anything
would happen like this
and then all of a sudden
25 years
of love and devotion
down the drain
We all heard
her hollerin'
For a Country mile
Cheatin' shows
your complete
lack of style
well she took out
3 parking meters
and a
pedestrians purse
The day she quit
The Baptist Choir
And threw that
Ford into reverse
If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time...
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
I used to believe that things would change but here we go again
Riding a spinning carosel, this circle never ends
This kitchen table, has seen it all before
These walls are tired of stnding, can't hold us anymore.
Chourus:
One Mississippi I close my eyes
Two Mississippi I'm begging you that we can still survive
Three Mississippi no looking back
we're done for good and I know that
I won't change my mind
Oooh yeah
Three Mississippi is where I'm at tonight
(end chourus)
We're all out of second chances and all out of one more times
There's not a word we haven't said nothing we have not tried
My bones are aching from the weight I'm holding now
I took all that I'm taking, I'm breaking... breaking... down
CHOURUS
Hold my breath
Close My eyes
Goodbye~~~~~~
Whoa----
(CHOURUS)
3 Mississippi
3 Mississippi
I'm so blue lonely for you
What makes you treat me the way that you do
I've been true only to you
Just call me your true blue fool
Every day you're away lasts forever
Oh what price my heart pays just to stay together
I'm so blue lonely for you
What makes you treat me the way that you do
I've been true only to you
Just call me your true blue fool
First you lie then I cry then you're sorry
I forgive once again it's just the same old story
I'm so blue lonely for you
What makes you treat me the way that you do
'Cause I've been true only to you
Just call me your true blue fool
No love can survive for long like this
When you're standing' on a bridge that's always burnin'
Maybe it's just time to walk away
If you're tryin' to find a reason
Tryin' to find a reason to stay
I don't know how long this pain will last
All I know is it can't go on forever
Isn't this just pointless anyway
If you're tryin' to find a reason to stay
It's hard to admit it what we know inside
We've tried everything, everything but goodbye
Say goodbye
If your heart has nothin' left to give
If your world feels like it's just stopped turnin'
Maybe that says all there is to say
If you're tryin' to find a reason to stay
It's hard to admit it what we know inside
We've tried everything, everything but goodbye
Maybe it's just time to walk away
If you're tryin' to find a reason
Tryin' to find a reason to stay
Baby it's just time to walk away
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
Dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that santa’s on his way
He’s bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry christmas to you
Choir sings: they know that santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
Martina sings: and so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry christmas to you
Merry christmas, merry christmas
Merry christmas to you
There's a photo in an album he don't notice anymore
That's me, that's me
There's a stack of cards and letters buried deep inside a drawer
That's me, that's me
And the shirt that I once slept in hanging loose behind the door
Tossed aside so carelessly
That's me, Oh that's me
There's a picture in my wallet and one less faded in my mind
That's him, that's him
There's a name that always haunts me and it slips from time to time
That's him, that's him
There's a yearning that I feel in my heart and in my soul
An old flame that'll never dim
That's him, I know that's him
(That's me)
Hangin' on to the end
(That's me)
Starting all over again
(That's love)
Oh that's the way it goes
There's a woman in the chapel in the back row by herself
That's me, that's me
And a man at the altar says 'I do' to someone else
That's him, that's him
As the wedding party leaves throwing rice and wishing well
A single tear falls silently
That's me, Oh Lord that's me
Oh, that's me
That's me
I can't sleep for dreaming about you
When you're gone there's nothing I can do
But lie awake alone and dream the whole night through
I can't sleep for dreaming about you
I close my weary eyes
And see your face
I hold my pillow tight
And dream of your embrace
I know I could use the rest
But my lonely heart cries out for your caress
I can't sleep for dreaming about you
When you're gone there's nothing I can do
But lie awake alone and dream the whole night through
I can't sleep for dreaming about you
They say absence makes a love grow stronger
But I don't believe my empty arms can hold out any longer
I can't sleep for dreaming about you
When you're gone there's nothing I can do
But lie awake alone and dream the whole night through
I can't sleep for dreaming about you
You have worn a path
Right up to my heart
You come in for a while but you don't stay
And I've come to realize
That your promises are lies
To buy you time when you want to get away
You must think my heart has swingin' doors
The way that you keep comin' back and forth
I can feel it's getting close to closing time
And I won't be leavin' my heart open anymore
Well I've heard you're back in town
I suppose you'll come around
When nights are cold and friends are hard to find
You always seem to wait
'Til all the pieces are in place
Then you walk back in and rearrange my life
You must think my heart has swingin' doors
The way that you keep comin' back and forth
And I can feel it's getting close to closing time
And I won't be leavin' my heart open anymore
So if you're walkin' down my street just keep on walkin' by
I'm hangin' out a sign sayin' this well has run dry
You must think my heart has swingin' doors
(You must think my heart has swingin' doors)
The way that you keep comin' back and forth
I can feel it's getting close to closin' time
And I won't be leavin' my heart open anymore
I won't be leavin' my heart open anymore
I won't be leavin' my heart open anymore
There's something out there left for you
But it's not me
We reached a point of no return it's only right
I set you free
I know I'll have to turn away
But there's nowhere for my love to go
And there won't come a day
When I won't honor what we vowed
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
We can't deny that this one's out of our control
Stronger than the both of us and bound to take its toll
I can stand the test of time
And as far as I can see
There are no walls that we can't climb
Standing between you and me
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
Here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
There's a place you'll always be
No matter where you are
You're here with me
When the world is turnin' upside down
Together we can stand our ground
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
I'm still holdin' on to you
When I'm gone, when I'm gone I'm holdin' on
It's been a while since she heard him say
See you tonight his usual way
There's always some place he's gotta go
Somewhere he needs to be
And it's not the same now when they touch
But she figures he's just working too much
Somehow that makes it all okay
And gets her through another day
She's heard the talk all over town
But she don't wanna believe he's runnin' around
Deep down in her heart she's willing to bet
Oh but she ain't seen nothin' yet
She wouldn't read that heart shaped note
She found in the pocket of his coat
That time in the car she found an earring
You know that doesn't prove a thing
She's heard the talk all over town
But she don't wanna believe he's runnin' around
Deep down in her heart she's willing to bet
Oh but she ain't seen nothin' yet
He's not the same man that she met
Oh but she ain't seen nothin' yet
She thinks it's as bad as it's gonna get
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
When you take you gotta give so live and let live and let go oh oh oh oh
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You'd better look before you leap still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime.....
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime.....
This world is full of highs and lows
wide open smiles and tears that flow
and you're bound to have your share of both, that's guaranteed
sometimes you'll fly, sometimes you'll dance around it all,
but on your knees or standing tall you can always count on me.
CHORUS
So close your tired eyes
precious angel of mine
and let my love surround you in the dark
and sure as the sun that rises you'll have all you desire
so rest your wishes in the craddle of my arms and lay dreams down in my rock-a-bye heart
You're the answer the a life long prayer there's heaven in your eyes I swear
One look and you can take me there,
that's all I need,
your laugh is music to my ears,
you and I cry and I can taste the tears,
and i'll forever be right here to watch you dream
CHORUS
Sure as the sun that rises
you'll have all you desire
so rest your wishes in the craddle of my arms
and lay your dreams down in my rock-a-bye heart
ooo rock-a-bye heart
With lipstick on his collar and a trace of cheap perfume
He undresses in the darkness and eases into bed
With her face turned to the other wall she pretends to be asleep
But it doesn't really matter 'cause there's nothin' to be said
He calls from work to tell her he's sorry about last night
If he uses all the right words she'll forgive him once again
But the phone just keeps on ringin' and he knows that something's wrong
He feels his heart start pounding, and his head begins to spin
Phones are ringin' all over town
North and south and east and west on main street up and down
He's got friends of his callin' friends of hers
But she's nowhere to be found
Phones are ringin' all over town
He calls the hospital, her sister's house and the place that does her hair
God, if somethin' ever happened he'd surely lose his mind
And he's thinkin' it's just like she's disappeared into thin air
As American flight #204 departed right on time
Phones are ringin' all over town
North and south and east and west on main street up and down
He's got friends of his callin' friends of hers
But she's nowhere to be found
Phones are ringin' all over town
Well he knows she'd never leave him
She's just got to be around
Phones are ringin'
Phones are ringin'
Phones are ringin' all over town

So many times I said it was forever
Said our love would always be true
Somethin' in my heart always knew
I'd be lying there beside him
On my own, On my own, On my own
So many promises never should be spoken
Now you know what loving him costs
Now you're even talkin' divorce
And you weren't even married
On my own
Once again I'm
One more time by myself
No one said it would be easy
But it once was so easy
Well I believe in love now here I stand
You wonder why
I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again
So many times I know I could have told you
That losing him would cut like a knife
He walked out and there went your life
I don't want to live without him
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to end
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again
On my own
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone by myself
On my own
You've got to find out where you belong again
On my own
You've got to learn how to be strong again
On my own
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone by myself
You've got to find out where you belong again
Your hear is saying that it's time again
And I know you're gonna shine again
"Little Bits Of Lightning"
I have listened to the sound
Of a lonely night
Gone a thousand miles
Through a storm-filled sky
Looking for some light
Never dreamed of turning back
But faced the wind instead
'Cause I knew somewhere
You'd be waiting there
Down the road ahead
All through the longest night
Your burning light did shine
Like little bits of lightning
Lighting up the whole world with your flame
Every day to make it better
Strong enough to carry the weight
Your love became my saving grace
Like little bits of lightning
Shining through the rain
If I should ever lose my way
Find the strength in me is gone
I won't worry what to do
'Cause darlin' I know you
Will come and take me home
All through the longest night
Your burning light did shine
Like little bits of lightning
Lighting up the whole world with your flame
Every day to make it better
Strong enough to carry the weight
Your love became my saving grace
Like little bits of lightning
Shining through the rain
Strong enough to carry the weight
Your love became my saving grace
The kind of feelin' words can't explain
Like little bits of lightning
Shining through the rain
Like little bits of lightning
Shining through the rain
I tried to hold our love together
But you let us fall apart
Now your leaving me for someone else
Taking what's left of my heart
But this time the pain don't feel that same
I'm not aching like I should
'Cause loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good
I know you'll come back running to me
When the thrill is dead and gone
And you realize the love you need
Was right here all along
When you try to restore what we had before
There's no way you ever could
'Cause loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good
Don't get me wrong I'll still long to hold you every night
But my heart can't take another break
When there's no relief in sight
I guess you're wonderin' why I haven't cried
'Cause usually I would
But loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good
If there was a way to make you stay
I wouldn't if I could
'Cause loving you has hurt so bad
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
(Paul Kennerley)
The way you treat me baby
Cheat and tell me lies
I guess I shouldn't care at all
But still I care at all
But still I sympathize
'Cause you've got heart trouble
Coming on
Yeah you got heart trouble coming on
Well you think that you don't meed me baby
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You say that love can't touch you
You feel no pain at all
You think that you've above it baby
but I believe you'll fall
'cause you've got heart trouble coming on
Yeah you got heart trouble coming on
Well, you'll get down on your knees baby
Begging me to come back home
You tell me you'll find someone else
But on one's gonna care
'cause you have left a trail
of broken heart everywhere
Now, you'll got heart trouble coming on
Yeah, You'll got heart trouble
coming on
Well you'll know just how it feels baby
When you're left here all alone

Well she seemed alright by dawn's early light
Though she looked a lil worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinking again
But Daddy left the proof on her cheek
And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day...
Well, word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
But Momma was proud, and she stood her ground
She knew she was on the losin' end
Some folks whispered, some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
And when time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day...
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is the day of a reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day
Well, she lit up the sky that Fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames and took down some names
and sent me to the county home
Now I ain't sayin' it's right, or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day...
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is the day of a reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day
Roll the stone away...
It's Independence Day...
i've learned that sex can sell anything on tv.
and i've learned that what you get ain't always what you see.
and i've learned that politics and acting are the same profession.
and the soul gets mighty sick when it goes without confession.
i know a lot about livin' but i got so much to learn about love.
i've learned that the winners don't always have the most talents.
and often the most gifted lives fall out of balance.
and i've learned that you can never lose if you don't give up.
don't give up.
i know a lot about livin' but i've got so much to learn about love.
ooh, yes i do.
'cause when it comes to love,
i get so confused.
things i say and shouldn't say.
and do and shouldn't do.
i build back walls that i've torn down.
i hide my heart so it can't be found.
i get lost as lost can be.
still you keep lovin' me.
i've learned that i'm a taker and i need to be a giver.
and i promise you a whole lot more than i deliver.
an' i've learned that forgiveness is a simple gift of grace.
and i know i don't deserve it, but i see it in your face.
i know a lot about livin' but i've got so much to learn about love.
oh, yes i do.
'cause when it comes to love,
i get so confused.
things i say and shouldn't say.
and do and shouldn't do.
i build back walls that i've torn down.
i hide my heart so it can't be found.
i get lost as lost can be.
ah, but still you keep lovin' me.
i've learned that every day, miracles still happen.
the sweetest music is the sound of children laughin'.
and you should kiss your folks every time you leave 'em.
'cause you never know, it just might the last time you see 'em.
i know a lot about livin' but i've got so much to learn about love.
ooh, yes i do.
i know a lot about livin' but i've got so much to learn about love.
yes i do.
yes i do.
i have to learn.
oh, i have to learn.
oh, i know a lot about livin' but i've got so much to learn about love.

Yeah
The sun is shining everyday
Clouds never get in the way for you and me
I've known you just a week or two
But baby I'm so into you I can hardly breathe
And I'm in, so totally wrapped up
Emotionally attracted, so physically acting
So recklessly I need you, so desperately sure as the sky is blue
Baby I love you, I love you
I never knew that I could feel like this
Can hardly wait till our next kiss, you're so cool
If I'm dreaming please don't wake me up
'Cause baby I can't get enough of what you do
And I'm in, so electrically charged up
Kinetically acting, erratically need you
Fanatically you get to me, magically sure as the sky is blue
Baby I love you
I can't believe that this is real the way I feel
Baby I gone head over heels
And I'm in, so totally wrapped up
Emotionally attracted, so physically acting
So recklessly I need you, so desperately sure as the sky is blue
Yeah
And I'm in, so electrically charged up
Kinetically acting, erratically need you
Fanatically you get to me, magically sure as the sky is blue
Baby I love you, baby I love you
Wondering, waiting
Restless for a sign
I thought you walked so slow
In my haste I left you behind
Caught in the pace of this madness
Searching for shelter I find
That here in my heart there's a refuge waiting
Here in my heart you just won't let me go
I could run away run away
But you stay here in my heart
Meaning, purpose
Got lost in pursuit of my dreams
I've been longing, aching
In quest for a love that's supreme
I couldn't see you were reaching
But I should've known all along
That here in my heart there's a refuge waiting
Here in my heart you just won't let me go
I could run away run away
But you stay here in my heart
There's a refuge waiting
Here in my heart you just won't let me go
I could run away run away
But you stay here in my heart
I couldn't see you were reaching
But I should've known all along
That here in my heart there's a refuge waiting
Here in my heart you just won't let me go
I could run away run away
But you stay here in my heart
There's a refuge waiting
Here in my heart you just won't let me go
I could run away run away
I could run away run away
I could run away run away
But you stay here in my heart
(Here in my heart) Here in my heart
(Here in my heart) Here in my heart
(Here in my heart) Here in my heart
(Here in my heart) Here in my heart
(Here in my heart)
In these times in which we live
Where the worst of what we live
Is laid out for all the world on the front page
And the sound of someone's heartbreak
Is a soundbite at the news break
With a close shot of the tears rollin' down their face
Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye
And stops to pray
For these times in which we live
In these most uncertain hours
Where the balance of power
Is a fight that is fought every day
And freedom is a word
Some cry out and some whisper
And some are just too quick to give away
Blessed be the one who stands by the one
On the battle line
For these times in which we live
Well give me a heart full of tender mercy
And arms I will open wide
For these times in which we live
Seems like the only answer is
Givin' up on findin' one at all
And we hide behind unsure
Pull the blinds and lock the doors
And hang a pleasant picture on the wall
Blessed is the believer who knows love is our redeemer
And the only breath of life
For these times in which we live
Well give me a heart full of tender mercy
And arms I will open wide
Yeah give me words full of loving kindness
And hands ready to hold up a light
For these times in which we live
It's a big world to walk through, honey
And if you got love, you don't need money
You're gonna get caught in the toughest times
You hold each other and you hold a life
You kiss on the mornings when the sun won't shine
And that don't cost a dime
It's a big world to walk through, honey
If you got love, you don't need money
You can't get lost in the dollar signs
You take each night one day at a time
You live on water until it turns into wine
And that don't cost a dime
Come out of bed and step outside
Look up ahead it's all blue sky
You already have what really matters
Most in this life
It's a big world to walk through, honey
If you got love, you don't need money
You're gonna get caught in the toughest times
You hold each other and you hold a life
For what it's worth there's my advice
And that don't cost a dime
(Don't cost a dime)
And that don't cost a dime
(Don't cost a dime)
Yeah, love don't cost a dime
(Don't cost a dime)
Yeah, yeah
This ain't the first time you've fallen in love
With your heart wide open
Feeling just like a fool knowing that
You're the only one left holding on
He broke your heart
You can't cry hard enough
But you're not the only one
Everybody loves someone
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody says they'll never fall again
But everybody does
Yeah, everybody does
How many times have you said he's the one
And found out that he wasn't
Always thinking it's gonna hurt forever
But then one day it doesn't anymore
You've come so far
Still a long way to go
Just remember you're never alone
Everybody jumps in
Never really knowin'
Where it's really goin'
You just have to trust in
The sky's been gray every day since I lost you
But I know the sun is shinin' somewhere.. beyond the blue
My eyes were red when you said that we're through
But now I can see better days for me.. just beyond the blue.
BRIDGE:
Beyond the blue.. on the other side of lonely
And it's only a matter of time.. until I'm
Lookin' back and feelin' like I'm over you
When these tears are gone and I'm beyond the blue
BRIDGE:
Beyond the blue.. on the other side of lonely
And it's only a matter of time.. until I'm
On my feet and I meet somebody new
And I fall in love again beyond the blue
When these tears are gone and I'm beyond the blue.
(Matrica Berg/Randy Scruggs)
I sent myself a dozen roses
Right before the office closes
Just to make my girlfriends green with envy
Ever since I lost you
All the crazy things I do
I didn't even know I had it in me.. Oh but
Hey it's all right
It's just another Saturday night
Got nobody.. got no nothin to lose
I'm gonna get dressed up and go downtown
Spread a little misery round
Anything's better than feelin the blues
Found a restaurant on my way
Told 'em it was my birthday
Just to hear the waiters sing off-key
I've sprung a loose wire.. that's a fact
Got a strange little monkey on my back
But I kinda like the company.. and I guess
Hey, it's all right
It's just another Saturday night
Got nobody.. got no nothin to lose.
I'm gonna get dressed up and go downtown
Dance the little monkey around
Anything's better than feelin' the blues
Hey it's alright.
It's just another Saturday night
Got nobody... got no nothin to lose.
I'm gonna get dressed up and go down town
Live it up and never live it down
Anything's better than feelin' the blues
Anything's better than feelin' the blues
People talking, thinking I'm all right
Think I'm doing fine.
Goin' through the motions of my life
Go to work now every mornin'
Yeah I play the part
And hide away the contents of my solemn heart.
CHORUS:
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
I can't control the flood of all these tears inside
And if they only knew
They'd be so surprised
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise.
Keep 'em guessin', keep 'em laughin'
Build that wall up high
As long as they don't see the other side
You've really done it
Doing a number, a number on my soul
But I'll be damned if I'll ever let you know.
CHORUS:
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
There's no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and I
Yeah, I wear it well
Though it ain't my size
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise.
I'm not one to show emotion
Like some fools I see
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve
I don't miss you
Not for a moment
I'm gonna be okay.
Words of wisdom spoken
By the light of sky
CHORUS:
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
Your memory pulls me under like a strong riptide
I'm still in love with you
It's all smoke and lights
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise.
It's been a year daddy
I really really miss you
mommy says your in safe now
in a beautiful place named heaven
we have your favorite dinner tonight
I ate it all up
even though i don't like carrots
I learned how to swim this summer
I can even open my eyes when im under water
can't you see me?
Istarted kindergarden this year
I carry around a picture of us in my blue's clue's lunch box
you are the greatest daddy
I can swing on the swing by myself
even though i miss you pushing me
can't you see me?
I miss how you used to tickle me
tickle my belly
my belly hurts
I try not to cry
mommy says its ok
I know you dont like it when i cry
You never wanted me to be sad
I try daddy but it hurts
Is it true your not coming home?
Maybe some day, i can visit you in heaven, ok?
Its time for me to go to bed now
Isleep with the light on,just in case you come home
and kiss me goodnight
Ilove you so much
Imiss you daddy

There's something out there left for you
But it's not me
We've reached a point of no return
It's only right I set you free
I know I'll have to turn away
But there's nowhere for my love to go
And there won't come a day
When I won't honor what we've vowed
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
When my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
We can't deny that this one's
Out of our control
Stronger than the both of us
And bound to take its toll
I can stand the test of time
And as far as I can see
There are no walls that we can't climb
Standin' between you and me
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
When my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
And there's a place you'll always be
No matter where you are
You're here with me
When the world is turning upside down
Together we can stand our ground
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
I'm still holdin' on to you...
She loved him like he was the last man on earth
Gave him everything she ever had
He'd break her spirit down, then come lovin' up on her
Give a little, then take it back
She'd tell him about her dreams, he'd just shoot 'em down
Lord he loved to make her cry
You're crazy for believin', you'll never leave the ground
He said only angels know how to fly
And with a broken wing she still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing she carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly
One Sunday morning she didn't go to church
He wondered why she didn't leave
He went up to the bedroom, found a note by the window
With the curtains blowin' in the breeze
And with a broken wing she still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing she carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly
With a broken wing she carries her dreams
Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be,
Here is what Christmas time means to me.
City sidewalk, busy sidewalks
dressed in holiday style.
In the air there's
a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, people passing,
meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you'll hear:
Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
soon it will be Christmas day.
City street lights,
even stop lights,
blink a bright red and green,
As the shoppers rush home
with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch,
see the kids bunch,
This is Santa's big scene,
And above all this bustle you'll hear:
Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Jesus lord o lord
I'm called to worship you
Never been here before
This is all brand new
I have stumbled
I have faltered
But I never surrendered it all and said
I give it to you
I give it to you
All my worries
All my burdens
I give it to you
I've always been
To ashamed
To afraid to ask for help
I stood out in
The pouring rain
For days all by myself
Then I heard you
Calling my name
You said don't worry
So jesus I'm here today
I give it to you
I give it to you
Every heartbreak
Every mistake
I give it to you
You still love me
Even though I
Turned away from you
A thousand times
I give it to you
I give it to you
All the glory
And all the praise
I give it to you
I give it to you
I give it to you
Lord today my
Heart has jinked(?)
Here I go restless heart
Another lovely misadventure in the dark
All my friends who knew me when
Tell me not to wander down that road again
What they don't know what they can't see
It's being on that road that makes me free
Some say I'm running
I know I'm falling back to you
The water's deep under the bridge
As I pass by our old house upon the ridge
All our sins have washed away
Now all that's left are all the things we didn't say
Oh restless heart you beat so fast
While my mind is telling me that it won't last
Some say I'm running
I know I'm falling back to you
Against the odds I'll roll the dice
I guess my heart has won despite all good advice
So grab your things and come on in
And get to know your children once again
When does a fool stop being a fool?
And since when is love obliged to any rules?
Some say I'm running
I know I'm falling back to you
Let's learn to give let's talk things out
Let's give them someone else to talk about
Some say I'm running
You think i'm always makin
Something outta nothing
You're saying everything's ok
You've always got an answer
Before I ask the question
Whatever you say
We can change the subject
Pretend I never brought it up
Same old story anyway
Later we can work it out
Right now you're talked out
Yeah, whatever you say
I know you can hear me
But I'm not sure you're listening
I hear what you're saying
But still there's something missing
Whether I go
Whether I stay
Right now depends on
Whatever you say
You say yes, you need me
And no, you wouldn't leave me
And that should be enough to make me stay
And even though I want to
I don't hear I love you
In whatever you say
I know you can hear me
But I'm not sure you're listening
I hear what you're saying
But still there's something missing
Whether I go
Whether I stay
Right now depends on
Whatever you say
Whether I go
Whether I stay
Right now depends on
Whatever you say
Whatever you say
it's either black or white,
it's either wrong or right
you don't get to chose
something in between
baby you and me
we're either on, we're off, or we're through
so whatcha gonna do?

and every time you say you're sorry, you miss me, you want me, you need me

expecting you to change, or lead me on and let me down

so, whatcha gonna do?
you could walk away, or decide to stay
either way, my sky's still blue
This is my third town, God, let it be the last one
Start a new job Monday, I need a little time not to run
Just when I think it's over, starting over, you get closer
Letting over
What do I have to do? Where do I have to go?
To get you off my mind, leave you behind, give me a sign
What do I have to do to make me stop loving you?
I even met somebody who I thought would be the one to
Turn me down a new road far enough to finally lose you
This losing game I'm playing, smile I'm faking, road I'm taking
You'll be waiting, heart's still breaking, just keep on praying
What do I have to do? Where do I have to go?
To get you off my mind, leave you behind, give me a sign
What do I have to do to make me stop loving you?
I want my life back, I wanna move on
'Cause I ain't the first one to lose someone
What do I have to do? Where do I have to go?
What do I have to do to make me stop loving, loving you?
Phones were ringing, tongues were wagging
Hot gossip was flying
All around town
She heard the talk, the lowdown was
The shameless color of
Her wedding gown
It's white
I mean really who's she trying to kid
Everybody knows the things she did
It just isn't right
Won't that be a sight
To see her wearing white
She was wild, a wayward child
To put it mildly
She made her life a mess
But she was young, the past is done
Now she's in love
And putting on a new dress
It's white
And it's nobody's business what she wears
Anyway the truth is she don't care
Baby it's her life
She'll do what she likes
And she likes wearing white
He's all nerves when he sees her
As far as he's concerned
She's an angel
In white
He just can't believe that she is his
What a crazy miracle this is
Who she was he don't mind
'Cause on their wedding night
She'll be wearing white
She'll be wearing white
Well, I was born full speed ahead
I was racin' time my mama said
I really covered some ground 'til you slowed me down
And took my life where angels fear to tread
Everywhere I go your hands are on the wheel
When everybody thinks they're mine
It takes a real man to take a backseat to a woman
But honey you've been drivin' all the time
Your love's so unconditional
You never push and you never pull
And your love is so blind
You walk a step behind
You start me every day and let me roll
Everywhere I go your hands are on the wheel
When everybody thinks they're mine
It takes a real man to take a backseat to a woman
But honey you've been drivin' all the time
And with each new day that passes by
And every dream I dare to try
You lift me gently up
So tenderly with love
And give me ever stronger wings to fly
Everywhere I go your hands are on the wheel
When everybody thinks they're mine
It takes a real man to take a backseat to a woman
But honey you've been drivin' all the time
You're not leaving me, you're not leaving me
You're not leaving me, you're not leaving me
She said take a good look at this diamond ring
The one that you gave me when I was nineteen
She said look at your children, look at the storm
I don't care if we're flat out broke but
You're not leaving me, you're not leaving me
You're not leaving me, you're not leaving me
Go on, pack your suitcase if you want to
Yeah, pitch a fit till your face turns blue
You can say what you want and think what you think
Sit right down and pour yourself a drink 'cause
You're not leaving me, you're not leaving me
You're not leaving me, you're not leaving me
Oh, you can run and you can hide
Everybody knows your name
Keep on big talking, go on start walking
Come back anyway, come back anyway
Yeah, you're my husband and you need my loving
That ain't gonna change
So keep on big talking, go on start walking
Come back anyway
You're not leaving me, you're not leaving me
You're not leaving me, you're not leaving me
She said take a good look at this diamond ring
(You're not leaving me)
One that you gave me when I was nineteen
(You're not leaving me)
Look at your children, look at the storm
(You're not leaving me)
I don't care if we're flat out broke
You're not leaving me, you're not leaving me
The news is out all over town
That you've been seen out runnin' around
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go you win again
This heart of mine could never
See what everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin what can
I do you win again
I'm sorry for your victim now
Cause soon his head like mine will bow
He'll give his heart but all in vain
And someday say you win again
You have no heart you got no shame
You take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still you won again
