Well, I rolled into town
With the rag-top down I was looking for that homecoming queen That three-by-nine lit hotel sign read Welcome back, class of '83 There were football guys twice their size Cheerleaders hiding the gray in their hair The names were the same, but the faces had changed I didn't recognize anyone there That used to be us; we used to be cool With the music cranked up, hanging out after school That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe Tell me, where in the world did we all go? That used to be us, oh, that used to be us I had a drink with some buds, played a lot of catch up Danced with my date from the prom But as hard as I tried until I closed my eyes Everybody I knew was gone There was Mr. Finch--he taught English and French He was dancing with a couple of canes And that homecoming queen, yeah, the girl of my dreams She didn't even remember my name That used to be us; we used to be cool With the music cranked up, hanging out after school That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe Tell me, where in the world did we all go? That used to be us As I stand here and look around I can't help but wonder Who will we be ten years from now? That used to be us; we used to be cool With the music cranked up, hanging out after school That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe Tell me, where in the world did we all go? That used to be us Oh, that used to be us That used to be us That used to be us |

It's the way you twist a curl into your hair
As you sit there unaware of how beautiful you are It's the music that I always seem to hear When you bring yourself to tears from laughing way too hard And when we're slowly dancing and you slip off your shoes Don't you know, baby, just like everything you do [Chorus] That gets me; that just gets me every time Right here inside this heart of mine You open up your world and lay your love out on the line That gets me; that just gets me every time It's the way you say your prayers before you sleep Then you curl up next to me and we hold each other close And you tell me with your eyes that you'll never let me go And that may be the moment that I love the most When you make me feel like no other man exists And when I taste the power and surrender of your kiss [Chorus] Right here inside this heart of mine You open up your world and lay your love out on the line That gets me; that just gets me every time Oh, that gets me; that just gets me every time That gets me It's the way you twist a curl into your hair As you sit there unaware of how beautiful you are It's the way you say your prayers before you sleep Then you curl up next to me Oh, that gets me That gets me |

I hear the sound of gentle rain
Like teardrops on the windowpane A priceless smile in a wooden frame beside the bed I stare at the ceiling and talk to the walls I lay here alone and imagine it all As a river of memories rushes through my head I can almost taste your kiss as I think about how much I miss Your hungry eyes, your satin skin The sound of your voice whisperin' The love I feel inside your heart When you're wrapped up in my arms so close That's what I miss the most I try to rest, but sleep won't come My body aches and my mind is numb Shadows fall as the morning sun begins to rise Another day without you here Has it been weeks or has it been years I find it getting harder to keep track of time I breath in and I breath out But it's getting tough to live without Your hungry eyes, your satin skin The sound of your voice whisperin' The love I feel inside your heart When you're wrapped up in my arms so close That's what I miss the most What I miss the most I can almost taste your kiss as I think about how much I miss Your hungry eyes, your satin skin The sound of your voice whisperin' The love I feel inside your heart When you're wrapped up in my arms so close That's what I miss the most |

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink Faster than a flower blooms, they grow up all too soon [Chorus] So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle Oh, just let them be little I've never felt so much in one little tender touch I live for those kisses, prayers, and your wishes Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see Every night while we're on our knees all I ask is please Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle Oh, just let them be little So innocent, a precious soul You turn around It's time to let them go [Chorus] Let them be little |

What you're gonna miss? Life's not long enough To spend it on regrets All I know is what I'm seein' in your eyes Hold me close before the moment passes by [Chorus] If ever there was a night If ever the time was right It's now Nothing else matters If ever a meant to be Truly was meant to be It's us Right here, right now Say a million other dreams Haunt you in your sleep It's hard to know which ones Are the ones that you should keep But look around Don't get caught up in the past Put your faith in the ones you think will last [Chorus] If ever there was a night If ever the time was right It's now Nothing else matters If ever there was a night If ever the time was right It's now Nothing else matters If ever a meant to be Truly was meant to be It's us Right here, right now Right now Now |

Lost my job, came home mad Got a hug and a kiss and that's too bad She said, "I can go to work until you find another job" I thought I like the sound of that Watch TV and take long naps Go from a hard working dad to being Mr. Mom [Chorus] Well, Pampers melt in the Maytag dryer Crayons go up one drawer higher Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time Breakfast at six, naps at nine There's bubblegum in the baby's hair Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair Been crazy all day long And it's only Monday, Mr. mom Football, soccer, and ballet Squeeze in scouts and P-T-A And there's that shopping list she left That's seven pages long How much smoke can one stove make? The kids won't eat my charcoal cake It's more than any man can take being Mr. Mom Well, Pampers melt in the Maytag dryer Crayons go up one drawer higher Rewind Barney for the sixteenth time Breakfast at six, naps at nine There's bubblegum in the baby's hair Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair Been crazy all day long And it's only Monday, Mr. mom Before I fall in bed tonight If the dog didn't eat the classifieds I'm gonna look just one more time 'Cause Pampers melt in the Maytag dryer Crayons go up one drawer higher Rewind Barney for the eighteenth time Breakfast at six, naps at nine There's bubblegum in the baby's hair Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair Been crazy all day long Oh, been crazy all day long And it's only Monday, Mr. Mom Oh Mr. Mom Balancing cheque books, juggling bills Thought there was nothing to it Baby, now I know how you feel when What I don't know is how you do it Oh Honey, you're my hero |

Brothers Wilber and Orville Wright
Built wings out of wood and steel Folks said that thing'll never fly They said, "watch, I bet it will" We've been defyin' gravity now goin' on a hundred years It was paper wings, faith, and dreams That's how we got from there to here A nickel brought a soda pop way back then And a movie only cost a dime He came home with a scar and a purple heart She waited all that time Today they'll cut a golden wedding cake How'd they made it all those years? It had to be tough; they just said it was love That's how they got from there to here You either do or you don't believe That it can or can't be done An ounce of faith and a touch of grace And it can happen to anyone Four boys, lots of noise, two-car garage Hey, turn those guitars down They couldn't know that the world would grow In time to love that sound They headed out, in a beat-up van And a U-Haul packed full of gear The road was long, but the will was strong That's how they got from there to here Yeah, they got a bus, but you can bet they'd walk Just to hear another crowd cheer It was a song and a prayer and a lot of luck and you That got us from there to here |

Turn to the six o'clock news--another soldier dies
Tried to hide it, but I couldn't help it: I had to cry When my little boy asked me, "daddy, was he your friend" I said, "no, I didn't even know him" [Chorus] But he was somebody's someone, a neighbor, a husband A brother, a father, and a mother's only son He was an uncle, a cousin, somebody's best friend And I'm sure at times a shoulder to lean on He was somebody's someone So I sat there in that chair and helped him understand How this brave young man gave his life for our land And although he's someone we'll never know To you and me he is a hero [Chorus] To the world he was a total stranger Who kept us safe and out of danger But now he's just a picture on TV Somebody's memory [Chorus] He was somebody's someone |
