(Michael Garvin/Anthony Smith/P.R. Battle)
I did my best to hold onto
My promise of forever
Well you don't even care
About the "I love you" I whispered
So I'm takin' it back
Takin' it back
I'm tired of your lies
And I caught your act
You don't get Jill
When you don't give Jack
You broke my heart
Now I'm takin' it back
I held my arms wide open for you
When you needed shelter
Now you've gone and done me wrong
You hit the hand that held you
So I'm takin' it back
Takin' it back
I'm tired of your lies
And I caught your act
You don't get Jill
When you don't give Jack
You broke my heart
Now I'm takin' it back
Love must be
A two-way street
Or I don't want it
I won't stay on it
It ain't the road for me
Someday you'll know what you had
When you come to your senses
But you can't have my love again
Unless you're reminiscing
So I'm takin' it back
Takin' it back
I'm tired of your lies
And I caught your act
You don't get Jill
When you don't give Jack
You broke my heart
(Bob McDill/Paul Harrison)
Stop that knocking on my front door
I know what you're up to now
Don't be coming 'round here no more
Flashing that smile around
I know what you're doing to me
I know that you're the heartbreak kind
Well honey you almost fooled me
But I wised up just in time
One step from a heartache
Two steps from the blues
So close to a teardrop
I know what you were gonna do
But I'm one step ahead of you
Don't be calling me on the phone
I'm hanging up if you do
I know you only been putting me on
But honey I'm on to you
I let down my defenses
When I saw those big brown eyes
But I came to my senses
Just in the nick of time
One step from a heartache
Two steps from the blues
So close to a teardrop
I know what you were gonna do
But I'm one step ahead of you
One step from a heartache
Two steps from the blues
So close to a teardrop
I know what you were gonna do
But I'm one step ahead of you
One step from a heartache
Two steps from the blues
So close to a teardrop
I know what you were gonna do
(Larry Cordle/Larry Shell)
Blue, I was beginning to think I'd always be
Blue, skies never seemed to follow me
True, love I never thought I'd find
Blue, was in these eyes of mine
You came along just as I was fallin'
Then I found myself fallin' in love with you
I can't remember back then
To the time when I was lonely
Oh thanks to you I'm no longer blue
New, that's how I'm feelin' like I'm your special one
Two, hearts learning to love we've just begun
I'm through, with the past that's all behind me now
Blue, not this time around
You came along just as I was fallin'
Then I found myself fallin' in love with you
I can't remember back then
To the time when I was lonely
Oh thanks to you I'm no longer blue
(Dennis Adkins)
I don't guess I've ever been in love before
I know that this is my first time
I don't guess I knew what I was thinkin'
But I know that I want to make you mine
So if you'll promise me forever
Our love to have and to hold
Promise we'll always ride together
Down love's rocky road
I want the first to last
Always together
A lifetime full of love is all I ask
I want the fire to burn
Forever and ever
I just wanna be sure
Cause I want the first to last
Well it won't take that much to please me
You give your heart and I'll give mine
Darlin' let's take it nice and easy
And we'll be around a long, long time
I want the first to last
Always together
A lifetime full of love is all I ask
I want the fire to burn
Forever and ever
I just wanna be sure
Cause I want the first to last
I know you're that special one
I feel like my life has just begun
So baby take my hand
And our love will never end
I want the first to last
Always together
A lifetime full of love is all I ask
I want the fire to burn
Forever and ever
I just wanna be sure
Cause I want the first to last
I just wanna be sure

He may give you diamonds on your birthday
And send you flowers now and then
He may put a new car in your driveway
Take you places you ain't ever been
He'll make you think that you're his one and only
But there's a big surprise in store for you
'Cause that man has an eye for every woman
Except for the one he's married to
You're gonna wish you were still the other woman
You're the one who hears his alibis
And if you think you can keep him home
You got another thing comin'
'Cause there will always be
The other woman
You had best be watchin' every minute
'Cause someday he's gonna cross that line
It's been your game, but I'm about to win it
'Cause now the problems are yours instead of mine
So while you're livin' on all those promises he made you
I'll be havin' all the good times that you'll miss
And the day he don't come home and make love to ya
Is when you'll know he's had enough of wedding bliss
You're gonna wish you were still the other woman
You're the one who hears his alibis
And if you think you can keep him home
You got another thing comin'
'Cause there will always be
The other woman
You're gonna wish you were still the other woman
You're the one who hears his alibis
And if you think you can keep him home
You got another thing comin'
'Cause there will always be
The other woman
And if you think you can keep him home
You got another thing comin'
'Cause there will always be
The other woman

Countin' stars was a waste of time
In the sultry heat of that August night
We both knew what was really on our minds
When we said let's take a ride
Down Paper Mill Road
I cuddled closer
I put my hand on his knee
Then I reached up to a kiss on the cheek
He pushed on the gas and put his arm around me
It took forever, it seemed
To get to Paper Mill Road
Our hearts soared high
The top went down
Just two kids out
To break new ground
Innocence was lost
But magic was found
Down Paper Mill Road
The mill gave way to the subdivision track
The gravel road is now a four-lane black top
The memory's still there
They can't take that
That's why I still go back
Down Paper Mill Road
Our hearts soared high
The top went down
Just two kids out
To break new ground
Innocence was lost
But magic was found
Down Paper Mill Road
(Jim Beauhall/S. Johns)
His eyes could melt her soul
He's makin' all his moves just right
His smile has her longin' for
His touch tonight
Does he want someone to love
Is this a game she's played before
She's heard her share of bedtime tales
This time she's wantin' more
Should she take a chance
Could this be romance
Is it fate or midnight fantasy
He would take her home
But should she leave alone
'Cause she don't want to be
Just another bedtime story
Her face has filled his dreams
Now he's a prisoner of her charms
And he'd give anything he's got
To hold her in his arms
As they dance around the floor
He keeps looking for a sign
If he tells her what is in his heart
Would she think it's just a lie
Should he take a chance
Could this be romance
Is it fate or midnight fantasy
He would take her home
But should he leave alone
'Cause he don't want to be
Just another bedtime story
She could be his Cinderella
He could be her Prince Charming
Sometimes even fairy tales come true
Should they take a chance
Could this be romance
Is it fate or midnight fantasy
Should he take her home
Should they leave alone
'Cause they don't want to be
(Pee Wee King/Redd Stewart/and Chilton Price)
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too, and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too, and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
(Jim Beauhall/S. Johns)
Sunset in New Mexico
Will steal your breath away
Mountains wear a cloak of gold
As twilight claims the day
Enchantment fills the sacred land
Where ancient mysteries began
And fire dances in the sky
When spirits walk upon the wind
Ancestors call
You'll hear their whispers like a sigh
They'll touch your soul
As evening sings its lullaby
You'll feel the desert come alive
Its wonders never end
When fire dances in the sky
And spirits walk upon the wind
Coyotes cry and eagles scream
As night things leave their nest
Nature paints with brilliant hues
As she puts the sun to rest
Moon and stars wait patiently
To weave their magic spell again
When fire dances in the sky
And spirits walk upon the wind
Ancestors call
You'll hear their whispers like a sigh
They'll touch your soul
As evening sings its lullaby
You'll feel the desert come alive
Its wonders never end
When fire dances in the sky
And spirits walk upon the wind
When fire dances in the sky
(Donny Kees/Shawna Harrington-Burkhart)
I can't go to sleep
I've been tossing and turning all night
I can't even eat
I've lost all my appetite
I know what it is
And there's nothing I can do
I've been like this
Since the moment I laid eyes on you
Oh no, not love again
This can't be happening
You'd think I'd know by now
What I'm getting into
I just can't help myself
This feeling's got me
Feeling out of control
Here I go
Oh no, not love again
I know it's too late
To turn my heart around
There's no way to stop
Once you're on love's merry-go-round
The best I can do
Is to hope it all works out right
All I know now is how
I feel in your arms tonight
Oh no, not love again
This can't be happening
You'd think I'd know by now
What I'm getting into
I just can't help myself
This feeling's got me
Feeling out of control
Here I go

Miss June's old gray two-story
Stands at the edge of town
Its weathered boards could use a coat of paint
The shudders need a lettin' down
It was a famous boarding house
Back in my daddy's day
That's been more than twenty years ago
Now it's a home for runaways
At the house of fallen angels
You'll find someone to ease your weary mind
There'll be a meal and a bed where you can lay your head
She never turns away a stranger
From the house of fallen angels
Miss June still wears the wedding ring
Of the man who broke her heart
She closed the house the day he left
And tore her world apart
Broken lives found a commond bond
When she took a young girl in
Now she's using lessons life has taught
Helpin' kids to start again
At the house of fallen angels
You'll find someone to ease your weary mind
There'll be a meal and a bed where you can lay your head
She never turns away a stranger
From the house of fallen angels
Wounded hearts on broken wings
No longer frightened and alone
In her past, she turned young girls out
Now she's there to guide them home
At the house of fallen angels
You'll find someone to ease your weary mind
There'll be a meal and a bed where you can lay your head
She never turns away a stranger
From the house of fallen angels
From the house of fallen angels
(Jim Beauhall/S. Johns)
A little boy not much more than a baby
Found a rose and picked it like a child would do
Proudly he went running to his mommy
And with a grin he said, "Look what me find for you"
A teenage boy packed groceries at the market
A rebel kid sometimes a little wild
But every year on Mother's Day and birthdays
He'd bring her a rose just like that little child
A single crimson rose
In time became a symbol of
Endless love shared between
A mother and her son
A single crimson rose
Was a special way to say
I'll always love you come what may
A single crimson rose
At eighteen, he enlisted in the army
To fight a war he felt needed to be won
Sometimes he'd write on Mother's Days and birthdays
He never failed to send a rose to mom
That soldier now is coming home a hero
With his medals to the mother that he loves
With tear-filled eyes, she tells him how she's missed him
And on his casket lays a single crimson rose
A single crimson rose
In time became a symbol of
Endless love shared between
A mother and her son
A single crimson rose
Was a special way to say
I'll always love you come what may
A single crimson rose
A single crimson rose
Was a special way to say
I'll always love you come what may
A single crimson rose
A little boy not much more than a baby
(Patty Way/Adrienne Follese/Stephanie Bentley)
She was sixteen and he was twenty
She'd never strayed from that small town
He rode the rodeo
Her daddy said you know
That kind don't ever settle down
She took a job down at the diner
He started stoppin' by sometimes
She'd laugh when he would say
I'm gonna marry you someday
Little did that young girl realize
Some things are meant to happen
Some things are bound to be
Love has a way of making doubting hearts believe
Sometimes in spite of difference
Sometimes against all odds
Some things are meant to happen
It's written in the stars
He chased his dreams out on the circuit
She went on with her small town life
But when that cowboy came back home
He wouldn't leave her heart alone
Till she fell into his arms one starry night
Some things are meant to happen
Some things are bound to be
Love has a way of making doubting hearts believe
Sometimes in spite of difference
Sometimes against all odds
Some things are meant to happen
It's written in the stars
They bought a house in town
And had a baby boy named Joe
Bought him a rocking horse
So he could ride the rodeo
Some things are meant to happen
Some things are bound to be
Love has a way of making doubting hearts believe
Sometimes in spite of difference
Sometimes against all odds
Some things are meant to happen
(Donny Kees/Frank Myers)
Well I've been watchin' you
And you've been watchin' her
You looked like you saw a ghost
The moment she walked in
I knew there was someone else
Before I came along
I've often wondered who she was
And was she really gone
Who's she to you
And where does that leave me
Is she still in your heart
Or just a memory
If she says hello
Will you tell me goodbye
Who's she to you
And darlin' who am I
The looks you're giving her
Are doin' things to me
You say there's no reason at all
For my jealousy
As long as there's a little smoke
A fire's never cold
If history repeats itself
What does our future hold
Who's she to you
And where does that leave me
Is she still in your heart
Or just a memory
If she says hello
Will you tell me goodbye
Who's she to you
And darlin' who am I
If she says hello
Will you tell me goodbye
Who's she to you
(Amie Comeaux/Jim Beauhall/S. Johns)
When you smile at me
You take me to a world I never thought I'd see
Your eyes can touch my soul
And fill me with a hunger only you can feed
When you smile at me
When you speak my name
Your words of love surround me like a gentle rain
You whisper soft and clear
The things I long to hear
It's like an angel's sweet refrain
When you speak my name
There's no love like our love
Our passion knows no end
Together we can soar to heights
That no one's ever known
Or has ever been
When you kiss me
You fill my mind with dreams of pleasures yet to be
You take me in your arms
And hold me till it's all that I am conscious of, endlessly
When you kiss me
There's no love like our love
Our passion knows no end
Together we can soar to heights
That no one's ever known
Or has ever been
When you smile at me
You take me to a world I never thought I'd see
Your eyes can touch my soul
And fill me with a hunger only you can feed
When you smile at me
(April Holbrook/N. McElroy)
I tried to give up on love
'Cause I knew I should
No matter how hard I tried
It didn't do me no good
I just stopped cold turkey
What else could I do
There were pieces of my heart all over town
And I was runnin' out of blue
I was feelin' okay
When I got out of bed
But what I saw outside my window
Was like a kick in the head
My hands started shakin'
I felt the cold chills begin
When I saw that truck pull up
Now look who's movin' in
He lives twelve steps down
In the apartment below
He's got what it takes to tempt a woman
Body and soul
And if I fall I ain't got far to go
Slidin' around
I'm losin' ground
He lives twelve steps down
I tried to get a better look
So I sneaked downstairs
And just three steps from the bottom
I saw him standing there
Ain't it just my luck
He says he wants to be my friend
He set two glasses on the table
Now he's invitin' me in
And he lives twelve steps down
In the apartment below
He's got what it takes to tempt a woman
Body and soul
And if I fall I ain't got far to go
Slidin' around
I'm losin' ground
He lives twelve steps down
He lives twelve steps down
In the apartment below
He's got what it takes to tempt a woman
Body and soul
And if I fall I ain't got far to go
Slidin' around
I'm losin' ground
He lives twelve steps down
Slidin' around
I'm losin' ground
He lives twelve steps down
(Jim Beauhall/S. Johns)
Last night like every night before
I felt your body close to mine
You woke me with a gentle kiss
And we lost all track of time
You held me tightly in your arms
As we shared ourselves till dawn
You consumed me with desire
Till I woke up all alone
This dream I dream of you
Is drivin' me insane
I barely close me eyes
And you're holdin' me again
I know if I give in to you
By mornin' you'll be gone
And leave me with that old refrain
Just one night of love
Ain't worth the pain
Today I saw you on the street
And desire filled my mind
I longed to have your touch again
And leave all doubts behind
But you still wore her wedding ring
And my conscience took control
I'd give all I've got to be with you
But I won't give up my soul
This dream I dream of you
Is drivin' me insane
I barely close me eyes
And you're holdin' me again
I know if I give in to you
By mornin' you'll be gone
And leave me with that old refrain
Just one night of love
(K.T. Oslin)
I'm moving out
Me and my best friend Louise got it all figured out
She's got the car and I've got the stereo
I'm saving my dollars that used to be dimes
Getting ready, ready for the time
That this girl's gonna move out
I can tell by the look on my daddy's face, he don't like it
He thinks I'm gonna throw wild parties every night and start drinking
That's what he's thinking
But Daddy ease your mind, you raised your girl fine
There ain't gonna be no problem at all
But would you do me a favor - before you come over, call
I'm moving out
Me and my best friend Louise got it all figured out
She's got the car and I've got the stereo
I'm saving my dollars that used to be dimes
Getting ready, ready for the time
That this girl's gonna move out
I can't wait, no I just can't wait
All I know is that it's gonna be great and all my friends think we're so cool
Monday morning we're signing the lease
Wednesday we're getting our phone
Friday night we're throwing a party going all night long
I'm moving out
Me and my best friend Louise got it all figured out
She's got the car and I've got the stereo
I'm saving my dollars that used to be dimes
Getting ready, ready for the time
That this girl's gonna move out
(Tony Haselden/Stan Munsey, Jr.)
Well I've heard you're just the one I'm looking for
And everywhere I go you know I hear it a little more
Well it could be idle gossip 'cause you know how all that starts
But honey I think I heard it from my heart
Rumor says I'm crazy over you
Well I've got to check the source before I say one word is true
Comin' from anywhere else I wouldn't pay it any mind
But I think I heard it from my heart this time
I think I heard it from my heart
A subtle whisper soft and low
But loud enough to let me know
It's time to say I love you
And honey that's where I'll start
And you can say you heard it from my heart
Good news travels fast and I've been told
Talk is cheap but what I've said is worth it's weight in gold
Sayin' I love you turned out to be my favorite part
Once I finally heard it from my heart
I think I heard it from my heart
A subtle whisper soft and low
But loud enough to let me know
It's time to say I love you
And honey that's where I'll start
And you can say you heard it from my heart
I think I heard it from my heart
A subtle whisper soft and low
But loud enough to let me know
It's time to say I love you
And honey that's where I'll start
(Jim Beauhall/S. Johns)
All this time I've searched for you
Down every road I've travelled
I wove a thousand fantasies
But each one came unravelled
You've haunted places in my mind
Where no one else has been
And now our paths have led us
To a love that has no end
Anywhere with you
Is where I want to be
Anywhere will do
As long as you're with me
Your love has brought me happiness
That time cannot undo
And paradise will fill my life
Anywhere with you
The dream that filled my lonely nights
Is finally unfoldin'
And given me someone to share
The love that my heart's holdin'
As years turn into memories
Our love will still remain
Till the moment passes forever
My heart will call your name
Anywhere with you
Is where I want to be
Anywhere will do
As long as you're with me
Your love has brought me happiness
That time cannot undo
And paradise will fill my life
Anywhere with you
Anywhere with you
Is where I want to be
Anywhere will do
As long as you're with me
Your love has brought me happiness
That time cannot undo
And paradise will fill my life
Anywhere with you

Golden hair as bright as morning sunbeams
Eyes of blue that saw into your soul
A smile that could warm a winter's evening
Or touch a broken heart and make it whole
Her laugh was like the sound of angels singing
Her voice was a gift from God above
Amie saw a world that's filled with rainbows
And never met a soul she didn't love
God must need a very special angel
Whose heart's as pure as newly fallen snow
To come and join His choir of heavenly voices
And light the way that He would have us go
And so He called our very special angel
To spread her wings and take her final bow
Let our hearts be filled with joy instead of sorrow
To know that she is there beside Him now
A need for bringing happiness to others
Could fill her days wherever she might be
With songs, she touched the hearts of those who heard her
And now she's singing in our memories
The life she held so dear was only just beginning
Fame and fortune waited 'round the bend
The dreams she shared will never be forgotten
For the love she left with us will never end
God must need a very special angel
Whose heart's as pure as newly fallen snow
To come and join His choir of heavenly voices
And light the way that He would have us go
And so He called our very special angel
To spread her wings and take her final bow
Let our hearts be filled with joy instead of sorrow
To know that she is there beside Him now
Let our hearts be filled with joy instead of sorrow
