She met him down at the laundry mat
Three a.m. on a washing machine they sat And talked until dawn He bought her breakfast at a small caf??짤 Morning turned to the rest of the day Then the day was gone He thought that she'd surely run away A fairy tale never started this way, but [Chorus:] It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here A stronger power's pulled to bodies near Nothing on Earth can interfere When love is what the heart wants They made a wish on the evening star From a rooftop high above the boulevard Up in the twilight sky He held her hand, she held her breath Two lonely hearts beating scared to death Of a chance to fly Giving in to the arms of fate This isn't quite like the plans that they made, but [Chorus: x3] Oh Nothing on Earth can interfere When love is |

I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said, "Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago, Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so." We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together. Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever. But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said: If you get there before I do, don't give up on me. I'll meet you when my chores are through; I don't know how long I'll be. But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. And between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me. I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away, In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray. I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years; But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears. If you get there before I do, don't give up on me. I'll meet you when my chores are through, I don't know how long I'll be. But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. And between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me. Between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me. |

There was an emptiness in me I was imprisoned by the power of gold But one honest touch could set me free Let the world stop turnin' Let the sun stop burnin' Let them tell me love's not worth going through If i |

I look out my window
At the world I once owned And I see it's still spinning round But somewhere above me A light I once knew No longer shines through the clouds But that's somebody else's moon tonight Those're somebody else's stars They're no longer mine Cause somewhere tonight You're in somebody else's arms Remember the wishes We made in the night When dreams were supposed to come true Well I do cause you Put the stars in my eyes As you softly promised the moon That's somebody else's moon tonight They're no longer mine Cause somewhere tonight You're in somebody else's arms |

I've seen that look before,
here comes that doubt again. You think that girl we saw, was more than just a friend. Yes, there was a time I thought she had it all. She meant the world to me, back when the world was small. That was a river, this is the ocea |

I came in as the sun came up.
She glared at me over her coffee cup. She said: "Where you been?" so I thought real hard, And said: "I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard." She said: "You don't know it boy but you just blew it." An' I said: "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." "That's my story. "Oh, that's my story. "Well, I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it. "But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." I got that deer in the headlight look. She read my face like the cover of a book. And said: "Don't expect me to believe all that static, "'cause just last week, I threw that hammock in the attic." My skin got so thin you could see right through it. And I stuttered: "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." "That's my story." (That's my story.) "Oh, that's my story." (That's my story.) "Yeah, I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it, "But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." You know the time comes when a wise man knows The best thing that he can do is just look her in the eye And beg for mercy and face the bitter truth. "Well honey, me and the boys played cards all night, "There wasn't no hanky panky, not a woman in sight. "And I know I shoulda called and, baby, I'm real sorry. "Let's get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry. "You know how much I love you and darlin' I'm ready to prove it. "And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. "That's my story." (That's my story.) "Oh, that's my story." (That's my story.) "Yeah, I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it, "But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." "You know I ain't gonna do a thing, "Darlin', unless you approve it. "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." |

I know I've disappeared a time or two
Along the way I lost me and you I needed a new town for my new start I'm sellin' VCRs in Arkansas at a Walmart I haven't had a drink in 19 days My eyes are clear and bright with-out that haze I like the preacher from the Church of Christ I'm sorry that I cried when I talked to you last night I think I'm on a roll Here in Little Rock I'm solid as a stone Wait and see I got just one small problem Here in Little Rock Without you Baby I'm not me Without you Baby I'm not me I don't know why I held it all inside You must've thought I never even tried You know your daddy told me when I left Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't forget Lyin' here upon this motel bed Thoughts of you explode within my head Like a castle built upon the sand I let love crumble in my hand |

When I saw you buyin' Cosmo and a Hot Rod magazine
I said to myself now there's a girl for me And when I asked you to go for a ride You stole my heart when you said if I can drive I said how bout some music you said you got any Merle That's when I knew you were my kind of girl And when we started talking I could not believe my ears You said you were a Braves fan even through the rotten years You quoted William Faulkner and Martin Luther King You said your favorite movie star would always be James Dean And when we went to dinner you wore blue jeans with your pearls That's when I knew you were my kind of girl You march to the beat of a different drum The funny thing is that I hear the same one We both like to color outside of the lines We're peas in a pod girl we're two of a kind Yeah you march to the beat of a different drum I said I think I love you you said what's not to love I thought about a kiss but I wasn't quick enough I guess while I was thinkin' you were readin' my mind Cause you wrapped your arms around me and you pressed your lips to mine You sent my head a spinnin just like a tilt-a-whirl That's when I knew you were my kind of girl You sent my head a spinning just like a tilt-a-whirl That's when I knew you were my kind of girl (My kind my kind of girl my kind my kind of girl) |

You want to know where we go from here
So many roads but none that seem clear Is what we have enough to last a whole life through Who knows baby who knows So you're asking me what do we do Cause time moves so fast and the chances seem so few Is it too much to think that we could have it all Who knows we may never know But if I were you I'd promise to live life for all it's worth Take all that you've been given and leave your mark upon this earth Trust your heart to show you everything you'll ever need And if I were you I'd fall in love with me So hold me close I'll kiss away your fears I won't promise the moon but I promise to be here And what if together it gets better every day Who knows baby who knows But if I were you I'd promise to But if I were you I'd promise to, If I were you I'd fall in love with me |

He finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend
When she said, "there's someone you should meet" At a crowded restaurant way cross town He waited impatiently She walked in their eyes met and they both stared And right there and then everyone else disappeared, but One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly To put it mildly it was love at first sight He smiled, she smiled and they knew right away This was the day they'd waited for all their lives For a moment the whole world revolved Around one boy, and one girl In no time at all they were standing there In the front of a little church Among their friends and family Repeating those sacred words Preacher said, "Son, kiss your bride", and he raised her veil Like the night they met time just stood still for One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly To put it mildly it was love at first sight He smiled, she smiled and they knew right away This was the day they'd waited for all their lives For a moment the whole world revolved Around one boy and one girl He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned "Congratulations, twins" One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly To put it mildly it was love at first sight He smiled, she smiled and they knew right away This was the day they'd waited for all their lives And for a moment the whole world revolved Around one boy and one girl |

She said we're much too different
We're from two separate worlds And he admitted she was partly right But in his heart's defense he told her What they had in common Was strong enough to bond them for life He said look behind your own soul And the person that you'll see Just might remind you of me I laugh, I love, I hope, I try I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry And I know you do the same things, too So we're really not that different, me and you She could hardly argue With his pure and simple logic But logic never could convince a heart She had always dreamed of loving someone more exotic And he just didn't seem to fit the part So she searched for greener pastures But never could forget What he whispered when she left I laugh, I love, I hope, I try I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry And I know you do the same things, too So we're really not that different, me and you Was it time or was it truth Maybe both lead her back to his door As her tears fell at his feet She didn't say "I love you" What she said meant even more I laugh, I love, I hope, I try I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry And I know you do the same things, too So we're really not that different, me and you |

Every time I see a woman on a billboard sign
I think about you Saying "drink this beer and you'll be mine" I think about you When an actress on a movie screen Plays Lolita in some old man's dreams It doesn't matter who she is I think about you When I see a pretty woman walking down the street I think about you Men look her up and down like she's some kind of treat I think about you She wouldn't dare talk to a stranger always has to be aware of the danger it doesn't matter who she is I think about [Chorus:] You eight years old big blue eyes and a heart of gold when I look at this world, I think about You and I can't help but see that every woman used to be Somebody's little girl, I think about you Every time I hear people say it's never gonna change I think about you Like it's some kind of joke, some kind of game I think about you When I see a woman on the news who didn't ask to be abandoned or abused it doesn't matter who she is I think about [Chorus] When I look at this world I think about you |

Well they shouldn't have played that good,
I got carried away and let the music, Go to my head. Well she shouldn't have worn that dress, The way it curled around when she was spinnin', Just killed me dead. My heart began to tell my body and my soul, That it had gotten in the mood to lose control. Oh no! When did neon light turn into moon glow? When did that jukebox turn into a rainbow? I'm about to give into this urge. Once more slow dance, With her arms around me, One more long glance, And nothing will slow down me, I've got no chance, If I'm not in love I'm on the verge. All I wanted to be was cool. It ain't my style to over heat, Much less burn. But as we floated across the floor, All at once I flashed right past the point, Of no return. And when we said goodnight, The sun was on the rise, And any stars that hadn't set, Had fallen in my eyes. Oh no! When did neon light turn into moon glow? When did that jukebox turn into a rainbow? I'm about to give into this urge. Once more slow dance, With her arms around me, One more long glance, And nothing will slow down me, I've got no chance, If I'm not in love I'm on the verge. Once more slow dance, With her arms around me, One more long glance, And nothing will slow down me, I've got no chance, If I'm not in love I'm on the verge. Oh If I'm not in love I'm on the verge. |

It's that feeling that someone is standing behind me
then I turn around and there's no one there. And it's the sensation that someone just whispered, yeah I still hear your voice but you're not really here. Your memory's like a ghost, and my heart is its host. [Chorus:] I can still feel you just as close as skin, every now and then. All by myself, in a crowded room, on my empty bed. There's a place you've touched with your love no one gets close to I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you. I can still feel you you said you'd love me forever, then you said 'It's over" and left me without the missing link. Well I thought I'd forget you, but I guess I forgot to, and lately I've been too confused to think. When I reach for someone new, it's like I'm touching you. [Chorus] In everything that moves, in everything I do [Chorus] |

I thought I could move on But I was wrong I woke up last night Calling your name Feeling the blame baby Thought I could quit you but I still miss your love What was I thinking? Thinking I could still walk down the street Without you by my side Or make it through one night Alone, I lied I said a lot of things I didn't really mean How can I make you see What matters most to me? Girl I should have known it I couldn't last a moment without you You've got every right To turn and walk away I can't make you stay I broke your heart That's the bottom line I wasted so much precious time, baby I see with your friend Wearing a smile again What was I thinking? Thinking I could still walk down the street Without you by my side Or make it through one night Alone, I lied I said a lot of things I didn't really mean How can I make you see What matters most to me?

We need to sit and talk Seems you've got this notion I've been having second thoughts Well I must confess in a way I guess that silly notion's true 'Cause every second you're not here with me I think of you' Every second, every minute, every hour of every day Every second there's a thought of you that comes my way So if you ask that I've had second thoughts I'd have to say Every second, every minute, every hour of every day. Now I propose we drink a toast and turn the lights down low Put our favoritie music on and hold each other close Don't worry dear you'll always be here in my heart to stay Every second, every minute, every hour of every day Every second, every minute, every hour of every day Every second there's a thought of you that comes my way So if you ask that I've had second thoughts I'd guess I have to say Every second, every minute, every hour of every day.

And outta her dreams There he was just the way she's seen him Lookin' at her a thousand times before Said I can't believe It's been five long years Cause tonight they just seen to disappear You still look the same You haven't changed at all She said take me away with you We can ride on the wind Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon Comin' around again Throw the car in gear Put the zoom on the lens Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon Comin' around again He said I still remember Her sweet perfume When it filled his head And it rocked the room The walked the wire of passion So alive It's hard to hold on In these times Did one of us change Was it yours or mine You just can't imagine How lonely I've been She said take me away with you We can ride on the wind Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon Comin' around again Throw the car in gear Put the zoom on the lens Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon Comin' around again We chase our hearts like open fires Give ourselves to old desires Surrender sweet And here we go again She said take me away with you We can ride on the wind Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon Comin' around again Throw the car in gear Put the zoom on the lens Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon Comin' around again |

It was little league, but what a big game There were two men on and one man out I got a fastball hanging outside I swung that bat with all my might And the ball was gone They say I knocked the cover off It was the only homer that I ever had You should of seen my dad [Chorus] And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me As long as I'm holding on Heaven wouldn't ask it of me The devil on a good day ain't that strong I'm keeping it here inside me As long as I live and breathe The ball was soaring and the crowd was roaring And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me I was nineteen, it was a good job Moving TV's on a loading dock Till the boss said, "son Try to lose every seventh one I got it worked out with a good friend Keep your mouth shut, and we'll cut you in Now what do you say Don't you want to be rich one day" I lost a real good job that night But I kept my pride [Chorus] And sometimes it feels like My best years are behind me Then somehow, out of nowhere Something sneaks up to remind me Like this morning, I woke up To a little voice that spoke up Saying, "daddy, please Fix a bowl of rice krispies You're the bestest friend that I ever had You know I love you dad" [Chorus] |

I knew all the answers The way my life should go And when I used to say my prayers I would tell God so It seemed He wasn't listening I thought He didn't care But lookin' back It's plain to see He was always there 'Cause I prayed for strength And I got pain that made me strong I prayed for courage And got fear to overcome When I prayed for faith My empty heart brought me to my knees I don't always get what I want I get what I need I'm not sayin' that it's easy Or that it doesn't hurt When nothing seems to go my way Nothing seems to work These days I'm getting better At goin' with the flow Accepting that sometimes the answer To a prayer is no 'Cause I prayed for strength And I got pain that made me strong I prayed for courage And got fear to overcome When I prayed for faith My empty heart brought me to my knees I don't always get what I want I get what I need Every time I've had a door slammed in my face In time a better one was opened in its place I prayed for strength And I got pain that made me strong I prayed for courage And got fear to overcome When I prayed for faith My empty heart brought me to my knees I don't always get what I want I get what I need Oh I don't always get what I want I get what I need |

Me in my rented tuxedo
You in your big sister's dress I could hear my own heart beating When you laid your head on my chest No telling how long it was since the last song With the band gone and the lights all faded All alone on that gym floor Dancing with no music playing Me in my rented tuxedo You in your mama's white dress Rice in your hair, your shoes in one hand And one hand caressing my neck The light from the moon filled that old hotel room As my hands closed around your waist And we were holding each other Dancing with no music playing Ohh, there's nothing to say You take me away Dancing with no music playing Ohh, dancing with no music playing Me in my old faded Levi You in your blue cotton dress Time, it don't have no effect on The way that you still steal my breath As we spin once more across the cold kitchen floor Your warm cheek touches my face And I could die in your arms Dancing with no music playing Ohh, I could die in your arms Dancing with no music playing, ooh (Dancing with no music playing) Dancing with no music playing (Dancing with no music playing) |

A million miles away You crawl inside the line You snake into my mind You always get to me You're like a glass of sweet red wine I spill on my white shirt Color of pleasure and pain Your picture's in the stain You always get to me [Chorus] (You always get to me) I'm under your thumb Girl you're under my skin (You always get to me) Right before the beginning of the end When I'm hanging by a thread There's a circus in my head I'm in a lonely state of mind You always get to me Your love rescues me You always get to me Just in time Love ain't some masquerade To wear a plastic face You strip off my disguise You see the good inside You always get to me, yeah [Chorus: x2] Oh (You always get to me) You're my net when I'm falling The answer when I'm calling (You always get to me) You're the stars in my darkness My faith when I'm heartless (You always get to me) You break down the walls and set me free (You always get to me) You always get to me Girl, you always get to me (You always get to me) You always get to me Yeah (You always get to me) Oh whoa whoa whoa |

I was lost On the outside I almost gave up I almost put love aside Then I saw you A little spark, then a flame I felt the blood rush a million miles an hour Through my veins I'm not ready for this One last breath and a kiss 'Cause my heart knows you're the one And baby living without you Would mean living is done I'd say Turn off the sun Take down the moon Eliminate the words "I love you" There would be no point No reason to live Without you girl Losing you would mean The end of the world So stop the war Bring back the light Life without you Would be like autumn leaves In black and white Didn't we have it all More depth than the sea It's cruel to take a fragile heart And promise love that life can't keep I'm not ready to fall Just let go of it all 'Cause I don't wanna love just to lose I heard it's sad But the life you live is the life that you choose But without you Turn off the sun Take down the moon Eliminate the words "I love you" There would be no point No reason to live Without you girl Losing you would mean The end of the world Everywhere I see your face (I see your face) I see your grace And then it's gone I can't walk on I can't walk on Turn off the sun Oh, there would be no point No reason to live 'Cause without you girl Losing you would mean The end of the world |

It wakes me up when I am sleeping
It?s all I'm thinking, all I'm feeling It happens every time you're near me I'm consumed, wanting you Your touch is all I need I found the sweet surrender That was missing in my life The one love that could keep my Passion burning in the night Like a raging fire, you're my one desire One desire- You're the summer wind that warms me You're the only air I breathe In the shelter of your love The afterglow fills my soul And forever's not enough (no) I found the sweet surrender That was missing in my life The one love that could keep my Passion burning in the night Like a raging fire, you're my one desire One desire Hypnotize me, hold me, hide me Never let me go (yeah) I found the sweet surrender That was missing in my life The one love that could keep my Passion burning in the night Like a raging fire, you're my one desire One desire One desire, one desire-oh!

Everyone tells them that they're too young to know 'bout the ways of the world and curves that fate can throw They'd never ask for much with their backs against the wall He turns to her, says, baby tonight let's take it all 'Cause tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be These may be the best days of our lives Who knows as we grow older if we'll ever feel this free Tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be A man and a woman who've been left behind Knowing age is the enemy of hearts and minds The freedom of faith has made them reckless and sincere He says, darlin?we've got one last chance at some magic here 'Cause tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be These may be the best days of our lives Who knows as we grow older if we'll ever feel this free Tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be Everywhere you look there's caution outside lookin?in Searchin?for that perfect circumstance But time never has stood still and it ain't about to start The sidelines are covered with wreckage of wasted hearts 'Cause tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be These may be the best days of our lives Who knows as we grow older if we'll ever feel this free Tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be Oh 'Cause tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be These may be the best days of our lives Who knows as we grow older if we'll ever feel this free Tonight we are as young as we're ever gonna be Oh, tonight |

Everybody's heart is torn and tattered
Mine was not designed for giving up 'Cause all I've ever done that really matters Is what I did for love So count me with the wounded and the shaken Even when I'm barely standing up I've tried to offer more than I have taken That's what I did for love What I did for love I gave everything And I hope that you can see All that love has given me When they sit and list the reasons I existed I'm afraid it won't add up to very much 'Cause I gathered all I had and gladly risked it That's what I did for love Yeah What I did for love I gave everything And I hope that you can see All that love has given me Someday I may silently surrender When this old heart has finally had enough But I hope that I will always be remembered By what I did for love See all I've ever done that really matters Is what I did for love |

It was so right It was so wrong Almost at the same time The pain and ache A heart can take No one really knows When the memories cling And keep you there 'Til you no longer care And you can let go now It's wrong for me To cling to you Somehow I just needed time From what was to be It's not like me To hold somebody down But I was tossed high by love Almost never came down Only to land here But love's no longer found Where I'm no longer bound And I can let go now I can let go now |

Johnny Cash intro....
"One frozen night in 1914, at the height of WWI, the unthinkable happened. All along the entire western front, the British and German soldiers lay down they're weapons in an unofficial ceast fire to celebrate Christmas Eve together. They exchanged gifts and saw each other as brothers. And that piece lasted for two more days, when they were ordered back to battle. In those few days, though, men remembered the true meaning of christmas amongst the devastation, and it's a story that should never be forgotten..." Through the smoke-filled night Silence rolls from both sides Aross a bloody battlefield It was a cold Christmas Eve In 1914 For those who were there it seemed unreal As time was still the Spirit moved the soldiers To lay down they're arms Raise they're voice in song And pretend for awhile The war was over If it could happen then, It could happen again A world torn apart To join hands and hearts To celebrate His birth And peace on this Earth If for one magic night We could finally give a reason not to fight Maybe there's a chance .. This time it might last As opposing sides approached Through broken words they spoke It wasn't long before they felt at ease They shared they're cigarettes What they had they used as gifts They didn't feel like enemies. With candles lit, They stood shoulder to shoulder And on that field they found True common ground And as they prayed They dreamed the war was over If it could happen then, It could happen again A world torn apart To join hands and hearts To celebrate His birth And peace on this Earth If for one magic night We could finally give a reason not to fight Maybe there's a chance .. This time it might last If it could happen then, It could happen again... |

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid 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 credo 'til 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 my tender care, And take us to Heaven, to live with thee there |

The sun is shining the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway There's never been such a day In Beverly Hills, LA But it's December the 24th And I'm longing to be up north. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, Just like the ones I used to know. Where the tree-tops glisten, And children listen To hear sleighbells 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, Just like the ones I used to know. Where the tree-tops glisten, And children listen To hear sleighbells in the snow.

In the lane, snow is glist'ning' A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight Walkin' in a winter wonderland Gone away is the blue bird Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song as we go along Walkin' in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say "Are you married?" We'll say "No, man! But you can do the job when you're in town Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire To face unafraid, the plans that we've made Walkin' in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lot's of fun with Mr. Snowman Until the other kiddies knock him down When it snows ain't it thrillin'? Though your nose gets a chillin' We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way Walkin' in a winter wonderland Walkin' in a winter wonderland |

O holy night
The stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining 'Til He appeared 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 O hear the angel voices O night divine O night when Christ was born O night divine O night, O night divine 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 greatful chorus raise we Let all within us praise His holy name Christ is the Lord O praise His name forever His power and glory ever more proclaim His power and glory ever more proclaim Fall on your knees O hear the angel voices His power and glory ever more proclaim O night divine O night when Christ was born His power and glory ever more proclaim |

When the boy was no more than a shaver
His old man told many a tale How his great grandad used to go drovin' Back and forth on the Oachezown Trail Now you might say the boy got infected By a fantasy of the old west For his heart and his soul got connected To a spirit that won't let him rest Now he don't wear spurs that go jingle He don't spend his nights round a fire He lifts diesel oil that is horses required But he is a latter day cowboy Dressed as a truck driving man Driving his wheels And his dreams to Cheyenne He beds down by the side of the highway At the sight of the first evening star In the darkness his big pony idles As he quietly strums his guitar And he sings out a song of his sweetheart Even as her sweet mem'ry grows dim And he sings of the trail he has chosen But the actual fact is the trail chose him Now he don't wear spurs that go jingle Yes he is a latter day cowboy Driving his wheels And his dreams to Cheyenne |

I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said, "Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago, Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so." We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together. Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever. But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said: If you get there before I do, don't give up on me. I'll meet you when my chores are through; I don't know how long I'll be. But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. And between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me. I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away, In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray. I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years; But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears. If you get there before I do, don't give up on me. I'll meet you when my chores are through, I don't know how long I'll be. But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. And between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me. Between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me. |

I wouldn't change a thing about my life Wrong turns I had to take back in those crazy years Could not have been mistakes if they brought me here 'Cause all my roads have led me to This night, this love I share with you And though the road was never smooth Life has made me someone who Could be the right someone for you I don't regret a single broken heart That taught me what love is and what it's not Someone must have planned our two paths would cross I couldn't see it then but I was never lost 'Cause all my roads have led me to This night, this love I share with you And though the road was never smooth Life has made me someone who Could be the right someone for you Detours, dead ends, endless explorations You were my only destination 'Cause all my roads have led me to This night, this love I share with you And though the road was never smooth Life has made me someone who Could be the right someone for you |

You've kept holding on to me through all the trials and the tears Only you and i could know all the sacrifices That let this feeling grow There were so many times we could have said goodbye We could have called i |

I hope I won?t be that wrong any more
Maybe I?ve learned this time I hope that I find what I?m reachin?for The way it is in my mind : Someday I?ll get over you I?ll live to see it all through But I?ll always miss dreaming my dreams with you. But I won?t let it change me, not if I can I?d rather believe in love And give it away as much as I can To those that I?m fondest of. |

And I love you so People ask me how How I've lived til now I tell them I don't know I guess they understand How lonely life has been But life began again The day you took my hand And yes I know how lonely life can be The shadows follow me And the night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me And you love me too Your thoughts are just for me You set my spirit free I'm happy that you do The book of life is brief And once a page is read All but love is dead That is my belief And yes I know how loveless life can be The shadows follow me And the night won't set me free But I don't let the evening bring me down Now that you're around me And I love you so The people ask me how How I've lived til now I tell them I don't know |

I know I've disappeared a time or two
Along the way I lost me and you I needed a new town for my new start I'm sellin' VCRs in Arkansas at a Walmart I haven't had a drink in 19 days My eyes are clear and bright with-out that haze I like the preacher from the Church of Christ I'm sorry that I cried when I talked to you last night I think I'm on a roll Here in Little Rock I'm solid as a stone Wait and see I got just one small problem Here in Little Rock Without you Baby I'm not me Without you Baby I'm not me I don't know why I held it all inside You must've thought I never even tried You know your daddy told me when I left Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't forget Lyin' here upon this motel bed Thoughts of you explode within my head Like a castle built upon the sand I let love crumble in my hand |

When I saw you buyin' Cosmo and a Hot Rod magazine
I said to myself now there's a girl for me And when I asked you to go for a ride You stole my heart when you said if I can drive I said how bout some music you said you got any Merle That's when I knew you were my kind of girl And when we started talking I could not believe my ears You said you were a Braves fan even through the rotten years You quoted William Faulkner and Martin Luther King You said your favorite movie star would always be James Dean And when we went to dinner you wore blue jeans with your pearls That's when I knew you were my kind of girl You march to the beat of a different drum The funny thing is that I hear the same one We both like to color outside of the lines We're peas in a pod girl we're two of a kind Yeah you march to the beat of a different drum I said I think I love you you said what's not to love I thought about a kiss but I wasn't quick enough I guess while I was thinkin' you were readin' my mind Cause you wrapped your arms around me and you pressed your lips to mine You sent my head a spinnin just like a tilt-a-whirl That's when I knew you were my kind of girl You sent my head a spinning just like a tilt-a-whirl That's when I knew you were my kind of girl (My kind my kind of girl my kind my kind of girl) |

I've seen that look before,
here comes that doubt again. You think that girl we saw, was more than just a friend. Yes, there was a time I thought she had it all. She meant the world to me, back when the world was small. That was a river, this is the ocea |

She said we're much too different
We're from two separate worlds And he admitted she was partly right But in his heart's defense he told her What they had in common Was strong enough to bond them for life He said look behind your own soul And the person that you'll see Just might remind you of me I laugh, I love, I hope, I try I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry And I know you do the same things, too So we're really not that different, me and you She could hardly argue With his pure and simple logic But logic never could convince a heart She had always dreamed of loving someone more exotic And he just didn't seem to fit the part So she searched for greener pastures But never could forget What he whispered when she left I laugh, I love, I hope, I try I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry And I know you do the same things, too So we're really not that different, me and you Was it time or was it truth Maybe both lead her back to his door As her tears fell at his feet She didn't say "I love you" What she said meant even more I laugh, I love, I hope, I try I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry And I know you do the same things, too So we're really not that different, me and you |

It's that feeling that someone is standing behind me
then I turn around and there's no one there. And it's the sensation that someone just whispered, yeah I still hear your voice but you're not really here. Your memory's like a ghost, and my heart is its host. [Chorus:] I can still feel you just as close as skin, every now and then. All by myself, in a crowded room, on my empty bed. There's a place you've touched with your love no one gets close to I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you. I can still feel you you said you'd love me forever, then you said 'It's over" and left me without the missing link. Well I thought I'd forget you, but I guess I forgot to, and lately I've been too confused to think. When I reach for someone new, it's like I'm touching you. [Chorus] In everything that moves, in everything I do [Chorus] |

He finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend
When she said, "there's someone you should meet" At a crowded restaurant way cross town He waited impatiently She walked in their eyes met and they both stared And right there and then everyone else disappeared, but One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly To put it mildly it was love at first sight He smiled, she smiled and they knew right away This was the day they'd waited for all their lives For a moment the whole world revolved Around one boy, and one girl In no time at all they were standing there In the front of a little church Among their friends and family Repeating those sacred words Preacher said, "Son, kiss your bride", and he raised her veil Like the night they met time just stood still for One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly To put it mildly it was love at first sight He smiled, she smiled and they knew right away This was the day they'd waited for all their lives For a moment the whole world revolved Around one boy and one girl He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned "Congratulations, twins" One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly To put it mildly it was love at first sight He smiled, she smiled and they knew right away This was the day they'd waited for all their lives And for a moment the whole world revolved Around one boy and one girl |

I thought I could move on But I was wrong I woke up last night Calling your name Feeling the blame baby Thought I could quit you but I still miss your love What was I thinking Thinking that I could still Walk down the street Without you by my side Or make it through one night Alone I lied I said a lot of things I didn't really mean How can I make you see What matters most to me Girl I shoulda known it I couldn't last a moment without you You've got every right To turn and walk away I can't make you stay I broke your heart I wasted so much precious time baby I see you with your friends Wearing a smile again What was I thinking Thinking that I could still Walk down the street Without you by my side Or make it through one night Alone I lied I said a lot of things I didn't really mean How can I make you see What matters most to me Girl I shoulda known it I couldn't last a moment without you Thought I could quit you But I still miss your love What was I thinking Thinking that I could still Walk down the street Without you by my side Or make it through one night Alone I lied I said a lot of things I didn't really mean How can I make you see What matters most to me Girl I shoulda known it I couldn't last a moment without you Oh girl I shoulda known it I couldn't last a moment Without you |

You want to know where we go from here
So many roads but none that seem clear Is what we have enough to last a whole life through Who knows baby who knows So you're asking me what do we do Cause time moves so fast and the chances seem so few Is it too much to think that we could have it all Who knows we may never know But if I were you I'd promise to live life for all it's worth Take all that you've been given and leave your mark upon this earth Trust your heart to show you everything you'll ever need And if I were you I'd fall in love with me So hold me close I'll kiss away your fears I won't promise the moon but I promise to be here And what if together it gets better every day Who knows baby who knows But if I were you I'd promise to But if I were you I'd promise to, If I were you I'd fall in love with me |

I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said, "Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago, Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so." We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together. Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever. But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said: If you get there before I do, don't give up on me. I'll meet you when my chores are through; I don't know how long I'll be. But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. And between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me. I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away, In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray. I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years; But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears. If you get there before I do, don't give up on me. I'll meet you when my chores are through, I don't know how long I'll be. But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. And between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me. Between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me. |

Baby I bought wine and roses
On my way home Yeah, I know we can't afford it But life doesn't last too long This world has gone crazy And knocked us both to our knees I'm fumbling for the words to try And tell you I love you For hanging onto me When anyone else Would've been long gone Packed it up and headed back home And not a soul would blame you After what I put you through Yeah, anyone else Would've gone insane Called the game on account of rain Anyone else, anyone else, anyone else, Anyone but you Mayday, baby, all the rivets Popped loose it's a total tailspin Too much grindstone Too little time with you, girl You know it's wearing thin Baby let's trade in these teardrops For warm kisses on skin You got a drawer full of IOU's And it's high time You called those things in When anyone else Would've been long gone You've passed up so many chances To walk right out the door Instead of dodging A champagne cork And watching the wet clothes Fall to the floor When anyone else Would've been long gone Packed it up and headed back home And you can hide behind A Cheshire cat grin But you know it's true Yeah, anyone else Would've gone insane Called the game on account of rain Anyone else, anyone else, Anyone but you Anyone else, girl, anyone but you |

Looking out my window
See you playing in the leaves It's amazing how a little girl Means all the world to me When I tell you that I love you I love you more than words can say Smile say cheese pretty please I want to take your picture How'd you ever get so big I gotta take your picture And hold on to the mem'ry before The whole things slips away I wish I could save these moments And put 'em in a jar I wish I could stop The world from turning Keep things just the way they are I wish I could shelter you from Everything not pure and sweet and good I know I can't, I know I can't But I wish I could When you kiss me for no reason It goes straight to my heart When I feel your arms around me I almost fall apart It's time for bed You whisper "daddy we forgot to pray" I wish I could save these moments When I watch you sleeping All my worries slip away A little bit of heaven Close on your gentle face I wish I could save these moments |

I think I feel like an old beat up two lane
The one that the state's not about to repair From where I'm falling I think I might meet you Below where we were just above just don't care The way the world's changing I just can't accept it No right or wrong all in between The faith we were raised on is weathered and shaken But baby it don't have to be Cause I still believe in a prayer before supper Passing the time round the old courthouse square We've got nothing to keep us from start over Georgia We'll leave all the baggage and start over there Well I've never been to that part of the country Save for some old movies and deep in my mind Where it's accepted and even rewarded To stand on your own right side of the line Nobody wins here we're all scared of losing I feel scarred right down to the bone Maybe we'll find ourselves close to the ocean Where freedom first breathed on it's own Cause I still believe in a prayer Oh we've got nothing to keep us |

Way down at the bottom
Both sides come together And form a V And that's what mama calls The corner of the heart She says a lot of couples Never turn that corner They don't love that deep They care a little while Then they drift apart Well now, baby, If you wonder why I'm telling you all of this It's because something is changing I can feel it when we kiss And if the moon keeps rising You better hold on I am Turning the corner of the heart Back in the Albuquerque Near the river There was a cottonwood One summer hooked up with A climbing rose And by the time it snowed They were so tangled Nothing on earth could get That handsome couple to let go Well now, baby, This world spins too quick For the eye to see The slow changing Of a stranger into family But if the moon keeps rising But if the moon keeps rising Turning the corner of the heart (Turning the corner of the heart) |

Looking back from where I stand tonight
I wouldn't change a thing about my life Wrong turns I had to take back in those crazy years Could not have been mistakes if they brought me here 'Cause all my roads have led me to This night, this love I share with you And though the road was never smooth Life has made me someone who Could be the right someone for you I don't regret a single broken heart That taught me what love is and what it's not Someone must have planned our two paths would cross I couldn't see it then but I was never lost 'Cause all my roads have led me to This night, this love I share with you And though the road was never smooth Life has made me someone who Could be the right someone for you Detours, dead ends, endless explorations You were my only destination 'Cause all my roads have led me to This night, this love I share with you And though the road was never smooth Life has made me someone who Could be the right someone for you |

Today the air cleared up
The lights came on bright Years of heavy weight In a moment turned light I'd thought love could only look Dark as if through a glass I just turned into an open book Readin' easy at last Tonight, my walls came down Like a brick through a plate glass window With a wrecking ball sound Like old Jericho, laid swift to the ground I'm not sure when but baby you're how The walls came down I've never trusted much Got my reasons like most Stayed well protected from Every thorn on each rose Takin' those wayward trips Only to turn back and run Sailin' all my relationships Could not have dreamed up this one Tonight, my walls came down Like a brick through a plate glass window With a wrecking ball sound Like old Jericho, laid swift to the ground I'm not sure when but baby you're how The walls came down You make sense to me In a world where just a few things do make sense to me In your heart I'll put my trust Through whatever is in front of us Tonight, my walls came down Like a brick through a plate glass window With a wrecking ball sound Like old Jericho, laid swift to the ground I'm not sure when but baby you're how The walls came down Ooh, baby you're how the walls came down Oh the walls came down |

I'm just a fool for April there's nothing more to say
Long as I can remember she's led my heart astray When I was green as willow she had me ditchin' school And even then she tricked me I'm just an April fool She tangles dogwood blossoms into her yellow hair She uses the same perfume the smoky mountains wear She keeps the flame of summer round her neck like a jewel She breezes in to see me and I'm an April fool She entrances me and she dances me and she flies me like a kite And I soon forget she's only come to play Then there comes a day when she will not stay and I lie awake all night Hoping next time April may When I walked out this morning April had up and gone And it was clear as water she'd only led me on And it will be next winter before my heels will cool And then I will forgive her I'm just an April fool She knows I will forgive her I'm just an April fool |

I'm watching you go from room to room
With all your boxes and your broom Packing up, sweeping out and taking down From off the wall Everything that's part of us Tear my whole world down if you must Don't even leave one little speck of dust Make sure you've got it all Take my heart, take my soul, Take it all with you when you go Just leave the floor here To catch me when I fall You stole my pride and dignity You took it all away from me Take one last look around, girl Before you leave And make sure you've got it all Don't even leave one photograph The memory of one smile or laugh Check the closet up in the attic And down the hall Take your time, take your rings, Take the sandbox and the swings Without a family, oh they're just things Make sure you've got it all Take my heart, take my soul Take one last look around, girl Before you leave And make sure you've got it all |

She hears his heavy breathing in the dark
His footsteps coming closer down the hall She's so ashamed, she's daddy's secret love She wants to cry, she wants to die But he can't get enough The bruises on his face will go away Mom keeps him home from school till they fade She's sorry he was born, and tells him so He takes it in, he hangs his chin He ducks another blow Did God overlook it? What ought have been written The eleventh commandment Honor thy children He cries for hours, cries and never stops He shakes so hard his little cradle rocks He'll never have the chance to be brand new He'll never walk, he'll never talk He's addicted too Did God overlook it? What ought have been written The eleventh commandment Honor thy children Thou shall not kill Thou shall not steal Thou shall not take the Lord's name in vain Thou shall not cause thy children pain God does not overlook it What ought have been written The eleventh commandment Honor thy children Honor thy children |
