Love should mean so much
But the only kind I touch was incomplete
Till the moment I found you
That's the moment that I knew
There's someone like me
Who still believes somethings are meant to be
Someone who needs forever someone like you
Holding on to the same dream I've been dreaming of
Someone who still believes in love
So here you are at last
We can feel what's come to pass
Is here to stay
World can come and go
It won't matter 'cause I know
There's someone like me
Who still believes somethings are meant to be
Someone who needs forever someone like you
Holding on to the same dream I've been dreaming of
Someone who still believes in love yeah
Someone like you
Holding on to the same dream
I've been dreaming of
Someone who still believes in love
From where we stand we're looking
the man in the moon
Right in the eye
I don't think I've ever been on a
mountain quite this high
And the way you just touched me has
got me climbing the walls
Tonight's the night, the time
is right
Somebody's gotta take the fall
Chorus:
Somebody's gotta take the fall
Fall in love and risk it all
We're on the edge
Who'll be the first to let go
You know love just can't be found
When both feet are on the ground
So I'm tumbling heart over heels
after all
Somebody's gotta take the fall
Somewhere I read a wise man said
the fortune favors fools
I guess that explains how lucky I've
been to find someone like you
I've always heard it's easier than
falling off a log
So here and now, someway, somehow
Somebody's gotta take the fall
Repeat Chorus
You know love just can't be found
When both feet are on the ground
So I'm tumbling heart over heels
after all
Lonely lady living down the hall
don't you have any friends at all?
I never hear a knocking at your door
could it be you just don't try anymore?
You've been hurt so seriously
you act so cold but it's so easy to see
You're a waste of real good love
but you can't hide or run fast enough
(chorus)
Somebody's gonna love you
no matter what you do
Somebody's gonna find all the
pieces of a broken heart
hidden inside of you
Somebody's gonna touch you
it's just a matter of time
And if you're ever gonna try love again
it might as well be mine
I know exactly how a heartache feels
it's gonna take a little time to heal
Why must you hide away inside yourself?
you could mean so much to someone else
Every night while you're sittin' at home
you may be lonely but you're not alone
There's a whole world full of people out there
waiting on someone like you to care
You always said you never needed anyone else but me
And now someone's come along to change your mind
About all that love can be
And I don't even mind the way he takes up all your time
I even think it's kind of sweet that he reminds you of me
And it brings a tear to my eye and a smile to my face
'Cause I've never felt so much love as when you hold him and say
Oh, baby, look what we made when we made love
All by ourselves with some help from above
In the middle of the night, we really did something right
Oh, look what we made when we made love
From the first time we met
I knew I'd always give my love to you, oh baby
And the love that you gave me in return made all my dreams come true
And this new dream that we share has your eyes and my hair
So healthy and strong with a mind of his own
And I thank the Lord every day for our brand new family
And to think it all started with just you and me
Oh, baby, look what we made when we made love
All by ourselves with some help from above
In the middle of the night, we really did something right
Oh, look what we made when we made love
You look in my eyes
And I get emotional inside
I know it's crazy
But you still can touch my heart
And after all this time
You'd think that I, I wouldn't feel the same
But time melts into nothing
And nothing's changed
I still believe someday
You and me will find ourselves in love again
I had a dream someday
You and me will find ourselves in love again
Each day of my life I'm filled
With all the joy I could find
You know that I am not the desperate type
If there's one spark of hope left
In my grasp I hold it with both hands
It's worth the risk of learning
To have a second chance
No, no, no, no, no, no, I need you baby
I still believe that we can be together
If we believe that true love never has to end
It's over, I left the door unlocked again
But this time someone new walked in
While she was all alone
And he told her that there was much more life to see
Than she would ever see with me
Now she's going, going, gone
It's over, I never thought I'd see this day
When everything would walk away
That I depended on God, he'll hold her
To make sure she don't change her mind
I've lost her all the way this time
She's going, going, gone
I should have paid attention, there were many warning signs
But I just never thought she'd walk away
Here I stand in silence, just an echo of the words
I heard her say
She said, it's over and much too late to change her mind
I've lost her all the way this time
I think of all the times
I needed you
And you would come to me
'Cause you wanted to
Oh, and we'd build a fire
That would last through the night
Still be burnin'
In the mornin' light
Oh, we must have had a thousand ways
Oh, takin' our breath away
We took a chance or two
Didn't we?
And made some mountains move
Didn't we? Oh yeah
Then from out of the blue
The storm clouds came
It started rainin'
We just let it rain
Oh, careless love
Oh, careless love
Sadness yes
But no regrets
When we had it baby
Oh, we had the best
Didn't we? I'm askin' you, didn't we ?
Oh, didn't we?
And every now and then
My feelings show
And it takes me awhile
To let you go, don't you know?
You were more than a lover
More than a friend
Never before
Never again
Oh, will it be you and me?
But we had it, had it good didn't we?
I want to say
Oh, we must have had a thousand ways
Oh, takin' our breath away
Oh, will it be, will it be you and me?
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to feel
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I'd worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.
I'd thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
' Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can't take that away.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
' Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.
That I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
' Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
And I'm proud to be and American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
' Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
You believe that I've
changed your life forever
And you're never gonna find
another somebody like me
And you wish you had more than
just a lifetime to give back all
I've given you and that's what you believe
(chorus)
But I owe you (I owe you)
the sunlight in the morning
And the nights of all this loving
that time can't take away
And I owe you more than
life now more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt
I'll ever have to pay
I'm amazed when you say
it's me you live for
You know that when I'm holding you
you're right where you belong
And my love I can't help
but smile with wonder
When you tell me all I've done for you
'cause I've known all along
(chorus)
'Cause I owe you (I owe you)
the sunlight in the morning
And the nights of all this loving
that time can't take away
And I owe you (I owe you)
more than life now more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt
Come, let me hold you for a while
All you have to do is smile
I'm yours again
I may not like some things you do
But they're all a part of you
you're my best friend
CHORUS:
I don't mind the cold when I have a fire to warm me
I don't mind the rain 'cause it makes the flowers grow
I can take the bad times when you wrap your love around me
I don't mind the thorns when you're the rose
Stay, we can work the whole thing out
That's what love's about
I understand
You didn't mean the things you said
They're so easy to forget
When you take my hand
(chorus)
If it was anybody else, I would be gone
But you're so beautiful to me, oh that I keep on holding on
(chorus, then repeat its last line)
There's a quiet time in the early dawn
Before the mornin' paper, before the coffee's on
There ain't much movin' in the world outside
Oh, I'd love to take a mornin' ride
My baby knows, it's the time we share
She wakes me gently and brushes back her hair
And she moves into my arms, sweet and slow
I can't wait to get up and go
Gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride
When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountain side
'Bout an hour, maybe two
Ain't nothin' me and her would rather do
Than see the green grass glist'nin' in the mornin' dew
While the world is still damn spankin' new
Oh, I know how beautiful the day will be
When she takes a mornin' ride with me
And when we get back, it will feel so right
To just lay back and linger in the mornin' light
Then she'll smile at me, thinkin' where we've been
Wantin' me to take her again
I'm gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride
When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountain side
'Bout an hour, maybe two
Ain't nothin' me and her would rather do
Than see the green grass glist'nin' in the mornin' dew
While the world is still damn spankin' new
Oh, I know how beautiful the day will be
When she takes a mornin' ride with me
Oh, I'm gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride
When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountain side
I was paralyzed
As I opened up my bloodshot eyes
Do I really wanna know
Where I've been
Or where I've put my nose
I'm in a rut
Keep kicking myself in the nuts
In a stairwell I seek
The lair where I stuck my dirty beak
So I'm back again it's okay
Well, be that as it may
Over and over away
Into the fires unknown
Into oblivion
Through sticks and stones
Pick up the phone
My jacks are all blown
Oh, these nights out alone
Come carry me home
A habit hard to break
Take me home, good Lord
For heaven's sake
The doctor's not in
Got no cure for the medicine
So I'm back again it's okay
Well, be that as it may
Over and over away
Into the fires unknown
Into oblivion
Through sticks and stones
Pick up the phone
Listen to me moan
Oh, these nights out alone
Come carry me home
Every time I make the round
I turn around
I'm put upon the rack
Every time I stand up
I fall flat on my face
And break my back
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine, that's your way
You always walked a step behind
So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth, of course I know it
I would be nothing without you
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be
I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, the wind beneath my wings
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings
Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Fly, fly, so high against the sky
So high I almost touch the sky
Thank you, thank you
I know we've had our share of hard times.
It's been hard sometimes to find the good.
Everybody wonders how we made it.
Lord we made it the best way that we could.
('Cause) when you're love you can move mountains.
When you're in love you can get water from a stone.
You can see a rainbow shine when it's dry as a bone.
When you're love, when you're in love.
There were times we almost gave up.
We both held each other and we cried.
That made us hold on even tighter Lord.
'Cause through it all we both realized
(That) (Repeat Chorus)
We've both seen some family circles broken.
It's a shame when it turns out that way.
But I recall when all the vows were spoken.
You put a ring on my finger and
That's were it's gonna stay.
Beating My wings
Against the window pane
I look at you
And I'm drawn to your flame
I want to get so close
So close
I'm like a crazy woman
On a mission of dreams
Being with you's
An obsession with me
I want to get so close
So close
If you ever let me into
That heart of yours
You will find the kind of love
Most people spend a lifetime
Looking for
Maybe you'll want me
Maybe you won't
But I've got to try
'Cause I'll die I don't
I want to get so close
So close
I'm into the moment
And out of control
Out on the ledge
With my heart in my toes
I want to get so close
So close
As her key unlocks the front door
I reach out to find a light so she can see
Then I wait to hear her story
Why she stayed out late tonight and she tells me
That it really wasn't her fault
If she'd had her ways she'd have been home hours ago
That's when her tears start to flowin'
And she swears it's true but in my heart I know
When I'm sure that I've convinced her
That I believe her story then I turn away
I don't let her know she's hurt me
'Cause the words stick in my throat I wanna say
And I'm so afraid I'll lose her
If she knew I knew the truth she just might go
So I listen to her story
Try to hide the hurt, but in my heart I know
She's lying, there's not a word of truth in her crying
And still I've got this awful urge
To take her in my arms and hold her tight
God, I know she's lying, a little more of me keeps on dying
Oh how I wish that I could be
The one that she's been lyin' with tonight
Instead of me I'd rather be
If tomorrow all the things were gone
I’d worked for all my life
And I had to start again
with just my children and my wife
I’d thank my lucky stars
to be livin here today
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can’t take that away
And I’m proud to be an American
where at least I know I’m free
And I wont forget the men who died

And I gladly stand up

And I’m proud to be and American
where at least I know I’m free
And I wont forget the men who died
who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up
next to you and defend her still today
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land
Oh it tears me up when you go all to pieces
Your cryin' eyes say you've been hurt enough
Tryin' hard don't always make it easy
'Cause hearts aren't made to break
They're made to love
Lately all I do is think about you
It's weighin' like a stone inside my mind
I know I've taken you for granted
And left your heart hangin' on the line
Oh it tears me up when you go all to pieces
Your cryin' eyes say you've been hurt enough
Tryin' hard don't always make it easy
'Cause hearts aren't made to break
They're made to love
Your love is finally gettin' to me
I can't believe the things I've done
And still you're standin' here beside me
The fool and the faithful one
Oh it tears me up you go all to pieces
Your cryin' eyes say you've been hurt enough
Tryin' hard don't always make it easy
'Cause hearts aren't made to break
They're made to love
Oh hearts aren't made to break
They're made to love
If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars
To be living here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that away
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up next to you
And defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston
And New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say
That I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up next to you
And defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up next to you
And defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
The very first moment that I wake each day
Your ghost just dances straight across my memory
I reach for the phone and I hear your voice
And against my will, my feelings run away with me
Cause I want you here right now
But you're lying there in someone else's arms
If there's a God up in the sky
If there's any justice in this world
I should be with you, Oh, I should be with you
Say you'll run away with me
If there's any justice in this world
I should be with you
Say you'll always stay with me
I wait all day long for the sun to fall
For you to slip away and run back to my arms again
I look into your eyes and see the passion grow
And we lose control and swear we'll never part again
I know paradise ain't lost
and there's still a chance that we'll survive
(repeat chorus)
To live my life without you
To kill a love like mine
Would kill my heart forever
And that would be a crime
So, if there's any justice in this world
I should be with you
Say you'll run away with me
Oh, if there's any justice in this world,
I should be with you
If I never say the words you wanna hear
When I hold you near
Maybe they get said another way
A kiss can mean as much to me as words could ever do
You know I live for you
You shouldn't ever doubt how I feel about you
Don't underestimate my love for you, darlin'
It's always there, it's just the way I care
If you believe in me, then show more faith in us
Don't underestimate my love
When you have a need for me and I'm not there
You wonder if I'm where
I could meet someone who'd take me from you
In you heart and soul you know I'm the one thing you can't lose
You know I live for you
You shouldn't ever doubt how I feel about you
Don't underestimate my love for you, darlin'
It's always there, it's just the way I care
If you believe in me, then show more faith in us
Don't underestimate my love
Darlin' just imagine how much stronger we become
When you see you'll always be the only one
It's always there, it's just the way I care
If you believe in me, then show more faith in us
She gently brushed my arm as she walked by me
Then she turned and said, "I'm sorry" with a smile
She was everything I ever dreamed of meeting
But I quickly closed my eyes and walked the other way
'Cause you can't fall in love when you're cryin'
Please don't try to look into my eyes
If I said I love you I'd be lyin'
'Cause the memory of yesterday is still in my mind
She caught me just before I reached the corner
Then she asked me most politely for my name
She was more than just a girl, she was an angel
And I wanted so to lie but I told her just the same
You see you can't fall in love when you're cryin'
Please don't try to look into my eyes
If I said I love you I'd be lyin'
'Cause the memory of yesterday is still in my mind
She winked and said, "I know just what you're feelin'
And I know there's nothing I can say
That can change the way you feel so here's my number
You can call me on the phone when the feeling goes away"
'Cause I know you can't fall in love when you're cryin'
Please don't try to look into my eyes
If I said I love you I'd be lyin'
Come let me hold you for awhile,
All you have to do is smile
And I'm yours again
I may not like some things you do
But they're all a part of you
And you're my best friend
(chorus)
I don't mind the cold
When I have a fire to warm me
I don't mind the rain
Cause it makes the flowers grow
I can take the bad times
When you wrap your love around me
I don't mind the thorns when you're the rose
Stay, we can work the whole thing out
That's what loves about
And I understand
You didn't mean the things you said
They're so easy to forget
When you take my hand
(repeat chorus)
If it was anybody else
I would be gone
But you're so beautiful to me
Oh that I keep on holding on
(repeat chorus)
my baby's face is like an angel's smile
ain't no other like the mother of my child
she doesn't think about the latest style
she's not the kind you'd think would
ever drive you wild
but there's a side of her that no one
else can see
and when we're all alone she shows it all to me
she turns into a
lean, mean, lovin' machine
better than the centerfold in any magazine
she's my lean, mean, lovin' machine
she's the answer to this workin' man's dream
i shave my face and straighten up my tie
she walks me to the door and kisses me goodbye
all day long my mind is occupied
with every detail of our loving last night
i know the gentle wife that waits at home
just can't wait to get her man alone
and turn into a
lean, mean, lovin' machine
better than a centerfold in any magazine
she's my lean, mean, lovin' machine
Oh holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend.
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
He must be a fool
He must have lost his mind
How else could he hurt you?
Time after lonely time
He'll come around again
And you know just what he'll say
But it's too late for him
This time just turn away
Love me like you've never been hurt
Like I'm the last man on earth
And the first one to touch you
Baby, love me like you can't help yourself
Like nobody else could ever hold you like I do
Come on and trust me for all of it's worth
And love me like you've never been hurt
Take a look into my eyes
And tell me what you see
No secrets, no disguise
Just shameless honesty
This time it's love you've made
You're safe here in my arms
Let him have yesterday
Let me have from now on
Love me like you've never been hurt
Like I'm the last man on earth
And the first one to touch you
Baby, love me like you can't help yourself
Like nobody else could ever hold you like I do
Come on and trust me for all of it's worth
And love me like you've never been hurt
Like it's all you can do, like I'm loving you
Love me like you've never been hurt
Like I'm the last man on earth
And the first one to touch you
Baby, love me like you can't help yourself
Like nobody else could ever hold you like I do
Come on and trust me for all of it's worth
And love me like you've never been hurt
Come on and trust me for all of it's worth
Oh Lord, my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all, all of the worlds, Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rollin' thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
And when I think that God, His Son's not buried
Send Him to die, our scares can take it away
Then on the cross, my burden gladly buried
He played and died to take away my sin
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great Thou art
Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul my savior my God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
WHEN I LOOK BACK ON WHERE I'VE BEEN
IT'S A WONDER I SURVIVED
THOSE RECKLESS NIGHTS
NOT LONG AGO
TRYING TO KEEP MY DREAMS ALIVE
THERE WAS NO TOMORROW YESTERDAY
GETTING NOWHERE FAST
BURNING MY BRIDGES
AND BULIDING DEFENCES
AROUND MY HERAT
I WAS ALONE IN THE DARK BUT
CHORUS
I FOUND LOVE IN TIME
YOU REACHED MY HEART
AND CHANGED MY MIND
JUST BEFORE I CROSSED THE LINE
I FOUND LOVE IN TIME
EVEN THOUGH I'D GIVIN' UP
YOU CAME TO ME
AND GENTLY TOUCHED MY LIFE
YOU TOOK MY SONG AND MADE IT RHYME
OH I FOUND LOVE IN TIME
DRIVING DOWN A TEXAS HIGHWAY
AS THE SUN ROSE IN MY EYES
I DIDN'T SEE THE NEED FOR ANYONE
NOW IT'S CLEAR THAT I WAS BLIND
AND I KNOW HOW MUCH I HURT MYSELF
BUT I FELT NO PAIN
I NEEDED SOMEONE
BUT I JUST KEPT RUNNING
SO FAR AWAY
IT WAS ALMOST TOO LATE, BUT
REPEAT CHORUS
NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE WITH ME
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I EVER FOUGHT IT
YOU MAKE IT SO EASY TO BE WITH YOU
YOU BROKE THROUGH, OH
We've been takin' turns starin' at each other all night
Our eyes are sayin' things, our bodies just can't deny
Now there's only one thing on my mind
It's gettin' you in these arms of mine
And once we touch baby don't you know
It won't be touch and go
Chorus:
It's gonna be touch and go crazy
It's gonna be touch and go out of our minds
They'll be no holdin' back in the heat of the night
When we finally touch, we're gonna ignite
Oh baby, it's gonna be touch and go crazy
In this crowded room girl it's just too risky to dance
'Cause once I'm holding you, this thing could get outta hand
There's no controllin' feelings this strong
We've gotta go where we're all alone
'Cause once we touch baby we both know
It won't be touch and go
Repeat Chorus
Interlude:
O it won't be touch and go
(Jan Crutchfield)
As her key unlocks the front door
I reach out to find a light so she can see
Then I wait to hear her story
Why she stayed out late tonight & she tells me
That it really wasn't her fault
If she'd had her ways she'd have been home hours ago
That's when her tears start to flowin'
& she swears it's true but in my heart I know
When I'm sure that I've convinced her
That I believe her story then I turn away
I don't let her know she's hurt me
'Cause the words stick in my throat I wanna say
& I'm so afraid I'll lose her
If she knew I knew the truth she just might go
So I listen to her story
Try to hide the hurt, but in my heart I know
She's lying, there's not a word of truth in her crying
& still I've got this awful urge to take her in my arms & hold her tight
God, I know she's lying, a little more of me keeps on dying
Oh how I wish that I could be the one that she's been lyin' with tonight
Instead of me I'd rather be the one that she's been lyin' with tonight
In a way I'm glad it's over
Even though it's gonna hurt me once you're gone
But I can learn to live without you
Give me time and I can make it on my own
Lovin' you to me came easy
Now losin' you will change my life no doubt
In a way I'm glad it's over
In another way it turns me inside out
In a way I guess it's better
Even though there's nothin' good about goodbye
But I know I couldn't hold you
Now you've found the wings and you'll be groomed to fly
It's for sure I'm gonna miss you
But I guess that's what goodbye is all about
In a way I'm glad it's over
In another way it turns me inside out
On the one hand I know I'll be better off once you've gone
But I find a lot of heartaches on the other
And I can't say, I'll look forward to those nights, I'll be alone
And I wonder will there ever be another
'Cause lovin' you to me came easy
Now losin' you will change my life no doubt
In a way I'm glad it's over
In another way it turns me inside out
In a way I'm glad it's over
(Timmy Tappan/Don Roth)
If I only knew then what I know now
You wouldn't be sayin' goodbye
But I let you down, I was never around
When you needed me there by your side
I took a perfect love & gave you a perfect heartache
I took a band of gold & made a 24-carat mistake
& turned it into...
CHORUS:
Fool's gold, and I was a fool 'cause I let you go
Fool's gold, yes I was a fool 'cause I didn't know
Too many times I just didn't try
Now all I hear is you sayin' goodbye
Starin' at an empty hand full of fool's gold
If I'd spent the time just holdin' you tight
& sharin' my feelings with you
Then you'd understand what's inside of this man
& you'd know what I'm goin' through
I know that I was wrong now that it's too late
I took a band of gold & made a 24-carat mistake
& turned it into...
Dawn is slowly breaking, our friends have all gone home
You and I are waiting for Santa Claus to come
There's a present by the tree, stockings on the wall
Knowing you're in love with me is the greatest gift of all
The fire is slowly fading, chill is in the air
All the gifts are waiting for children everywhere
Through the window I can see snow begin to fall
Knowing you're in love with me is the greatest gift of all
Just before I go to sleep, I hear a church bell ring
Merry Christmas everyone is the song it sings
So I say a silent prayer for creatures great and small
Peace on earth, good will to men is the greatest gift of all
I've had half the night to think it through
And I just had to talk to you
I never should have said those things
Things I didn't mean
What a fool I was to break your heart
I pray I haven't gone too far
Cause I need you more than ever
I want us back together
For better or worse, I want it to work again
All I can say is I'm sorry, I can't rewrite our story
But I'll be there for you
If you'll let this fool back in
Please baby, don't hang up the phone
You've got the right, I've done you wrong
But I promise you, I'm gonna change
Things won't be the same
You're talkin' to a hurtin' man
And I'm reachin' out with tremblin' hands
Cause I need you more than ever
I want us back together
For better or worse, I want it to work again
All I can say is I'm sorry, I can't rewrite our story
But I'll be there for you
If you'll let this fool back in
Ohhhh
All I can say is I'm sorry, I can't rewrite our story
But I'll be there for you
When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
Here I am in your face
Tellin truths and not your old lies
Seems to me that you care
And I know that you're runnin out of time
See ya can't get away
I'll be here forever and again
Whisperin in your ear
Do believe cause you know you cannot win
Spent most your life pretending not to be
The one you are but who you choose to see
Learned to survive in your fictitious world
Does what they think of you determine your worth?
If special's what you feel when you're with them
Taken away you feel 'less than' again
That's right
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you
There's a feeling inside
No you cannot change it right away
Gotta make a try
And with time it'll start to go away
I'll be here when you need
That one to sit and cry to
Cause I'm the you you forgot
The only one you know you cannot lie to
Bitter you'll be if you don't change your ways
When you hate you you hate everyone that day
Unleash this scared child that you've grown into
You cannot run for you can't hide from you
Can't hide from you
That's right
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you
C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C
(you can't blame nobody but)
C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C
(you can't blame nobody but you)
C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C
(you can't blame nobody)
C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C
(aw that's right)
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin the finger again
There's a calm before the storm
In the deep blue water rise
So many danger signs
I've come to recognise
I should go but I hold on
I swallow back my pride
Leaving should be natural
But how can I decide
Between a rock, and a heartache
There is just no place left to turn
Way down deep, I know I can't win
With the choice I've got to make
Between a rock, and a heartache
Every morning when I wake up
Rise the face of day
I swear this time is over
There is nothing left to say
You call me up sweet talking
Saying we'll be friends
Even though is crazy
I know I am trapped again
Between a rock, and a heartache
There is just no place left to turn
Way down deep, I know I can't win
With the choice I've got to make
Between a rock, and a heartache
I love to hear it and all I see is bad news
It tears me up to know, I've got to chose
Between a rock, and a heartache
There is just no place left to turn
Way down deep, I know I can't win
With the choice I've got to make
Between a rock, and a heartache
Between a rock, and a heartache
There is just no place left to turn
Way down deep, I know I can't win
With the choice I've got to make
Between a rock, and a heartache
Between a rock, and a heartache
John Moses was a black man
Lived half a mile from my grandaddy's farm
He worked his twenty acres
A B7
With a broke-down mule and muslces in his arms
For a can of RC Cola
A B7 E
He'd stop and share the widsom of his soul
And I'd sit there on that white fence
And listen to the stories that he told
He'd seen the Great Depression
When a dollar was all a hard day's work would bring
He'd watched the crosses burning
In a time when freedom didn't ring
He'd seen w rold where minds were closed
And so many hearts were made of stone
But I never heard a bitter word
When I asked him 'bout the pain that he had known
CHORUS:
He said life is full of fertile ground
But it takes a little rain to make things grow
And when it comes to harvest time
We're all bound to reap just what we sow
So the best that I can tell you boy
B7 E
Is always do the best that you can do
Move the rocks and plow your fields
E N/C
And plow between the rocks that you can't move
Now the year we burried Grandpa
Life had really knocked me to the ground
The woman I loved had left me
And the business I'd built up was shuttin down
I went to see John Moses
To talk about the trouble on my mind
But that old farmhouse was covered up
In kudzu and honeysuckle vines
I leaned against that rusty fence
B7 E7
And let the past blow through me like the wind
And as the sun was sinkin low
B7 E7
I could've sworn I heard his voice again
CHORUS
Move the rocks and plow your fields

For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!

And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!

Confirm thy soul in self-control,

In liberating strife.

And mercy more than life!

Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

Undimmed by human tears!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
My country tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing
Land where my fathers died
Land of the Pilgrim's Pride
From every mountain side, let freedom ring
My native country thee
Land of the noble free
Thy name I love
I love thy rocks and thrills
Thy woods and template hills
My heart with raptured thrills, like that above
Let music swell the breeze
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's psalm
Let mortale tongues awake
Let all that breathe partake
Let rocks bear silent wake
The sound roll on
Our father's guide to thee
Author of Liberty
To thee we sing
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light
Protect us by thy might
Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage
Where the grapes of wrath are stored
He has loosed the fateful lightening
Of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
I have seen him in the watch-fires
Of a hundred circling camps
They have builded him an altar
In the evening dews and damps
I can read his righteous sentence
By the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on
I have read a fiery gospel
Writ in burnish'd rows of steel
As ye deal with my condemners
So with you my grace shall deal
Let the hero, born of woman
Crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Our God is marching on
He has sounded form the trumpet
That shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men
Before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul
To answer him be jubilant, my feet
Our God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Our God is marching on
ln the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in his bosom
That transfigures you and me
As he died to make men holy
Let us live to make men free
While God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah

To me you are the hand that I reach for
When I've lost my way
To me you are the first star of evening
The sun that warms my day
Just as sure as I'm sure there's a heaven
This was meant to be
No road is too long
As long as you belong to me
To me you are the truth I believe in
I believe in you
To me you are the love I have looked for
My whole life through
Just as sure as I'm sure there's a heaven
This was meant to be
No road is too long
As long as you belong to me
Just as sure as I'm sure there's a heaven
This was meant to be
No road is too long
(Don Goodman/Mary Ann Kennedy/Pam Rose)
She stood before God, her family & friends
& vowed that she'd never love anyone else again, only me
As pure as her gown of white, she stood by my side
& promised that she'd love me till the day she died
Lord, please forgive her, even though she lied
'Cause you're the only one who knows just how hard she tried
CHORUS:
She had a ring on her finger & time on her hands
The woman in her needed the warmth of a man
The gold turned cold in her wedding band
It's just a ring on your finger when there's time on your hands
When I add up all the countless nights she cried herself to sleep
& all the broken promises I somehow failed to keep, I can't blame her
I'm the one who left her too many times alone
In a 3-bedroom prison, she tried to make a home
Her love slowly died, but the fire inside still burned
& the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn
Ain't no big deal to lose, I keep telling myself,
I get used to the blues, I won't stay on the shelf, I'll find somebody else
They say that love is sweeter the second time around
But I'm way past that number somehow
You'd think that even a fool like me could have found true love in my life.
Chorus:
Ain't no trick to make love come to you, no matter what the people say.
Ain't no trick to make love come to you but it takes magic to make it stay.
It's just a part of the game, I keep telling myself
Hard luck found out my name, I let my bridges burn, but I'll just live and learn
They say that love is sweeter the second time around
But I'm way past that number somehow
You'd think that even a fool like me could have found true love somehow
Chorus
So many nights I'd sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song.
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now you've come along.
And you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on.
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song.
Rollin' at sea adrift on the waters
Could it be finally I'm turning for home
Finally a chance to say, "Hey, I Love You"
Never again to be all alone.
And you light up my life,
You give me hope, to carry on.
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song.
You, You light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong, when it feels so right
CHORUS:
Oh it tears me up when you go all to pieces
Your cryin' eyes say you've been hurt enough
Tryin' hard don't always make it easy
'Cause hearts aren't made to break, they're made to love
Lately all I do is think about you
It's weighin' like a stone inside my mind
I know I've taken you for granted
& left your heart hangin' on the line
(chorus)
Your love is finally gettin' to me
I can't believe the things I've done
& still you're standin' here beside me
The fool & the faithful one
(chorus)
