Garth Brooks

Tumbling

Maybe It Was Memphis

Looking at you through a misty moonlight
Katydids sing like a symphony
Porch swing swaying like a Tennessee lullaby
Melody blowing thru the willow tree
What was I s'posed to do
Standing there looking at you
Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right

Read about you in a Faulkner novel
Met you once in a Williams play
Heard about you in a country love song
Summer night beauty took my breath away
What was I s'posed to do
Standing there looking at you
Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right

Every night now since I've been back home
Lie awake drifting in my memory
Think about you on my mama's front porch swing
Talking that way, so soft to me
What was I s'posed to do
Standing there looking at you
Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right

You know it sure felt right
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Memphis
But it sure felt right ...

Cleopatra,Queen Of Denial

Well I said he had a lot of potential
He was only misunderstood
You know he didn't really mean to treat me so bad
He wanted to be good
And I swore one day I would tame him
Even though he loved to run hog wild
Just call me Cleopatra everybody, 'cause I'm the Queen of Denial


I knew he didn't have any money
Yeah that's why he couldn't buy me a ring
Oh and just because he bought himself a brand new pickup truck
Really didn't prove anything
And he never had to say he loved me
I could see it every time he smiled
Just call me Cleopatra everybody, 'cause I'm the Queen of Denial


Oh Queen of Denial, buyin' all his alibis
Queen of Denial, floatin' down a river of lies


Well I'm not gonna jump to conclusions
Or throw away this perfect romance
Even though I caught him dancin' last night
With a girl in a leopard skin pants
Yeah, he's probably stuck in traffic
And he'll be here in a litte while
Just call me Cleopatra everybody, 'cause I'm the Queen of Denial

Oh Queen of Denial, buyin' all his alibis
Queen of Denial, just floatin' down a river of lies

Spilled Perfume

I ain't even going to ask you
I can read you like a book
Girl if I ever saw one that's an
"I can't believe I did that" look
You look like something that the cat drug in
So I won't kick you while you're down
Let me tell you friend to friend
'Bout a block I've been around

Did you really think last night would last forever
Did you really think that guy hung the moon
Right now you hate yourself 'cause you knew better
But there's no use crying over spilled perfume

There's a big difference between lonely
And lonely for way too long
And I knew when he made his move
You weren't feeling all that strong
So I bit my tongue 'cause I saw it coming
As you danced so close to him
It's two steps forward and three steps back
When a heart is on the mend

Did you really think last night would last forever
Did you really think that guy hung the moon
Right now you hate yourself 'cause you knew better
But there's no use crying over spilled perfume


You fell in a moment of weakness
Well you just got to pull yourself back up
Dry your morning-after tears
'Cause what's done is done

Did you really think last night would last forever
Did you really think that guy hung the moon
Right now you hate yourself 'cause you knew better
But there's no use crying over spilled perfume

No use crying over, no use crying over
No use crying over, spilled perfume

When You Come Back To Me Again

there's a ship out on the ocean
At the mercy of the sea
It's been tossed about
Lost and Broken
Wandering Aimlessly
And god somehow you know
that ship is me

cause theres a light house
in a harbor
shinning faithfully
puring its light out
across the water
for the sinking soul to see
thaat someone out there still believes in me

on a pryer
in a song
i hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on
oh, raining down against hte wind
i'm reaching out
till we reach the circle end
when you come back to me again

theres a moment
that we all come to
in our time and in our space
for all that we've done
we can undo
if our hearts in the right place
(chrous)

And again i see
my yesterdays in f ront of me
and the folding like a mystery
your changing all that isnt use to be
(chrous)

When you come back to me again

The Dance
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

The Thunder Rolls

Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul insight
The city's lookin' like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's headin' back from somewhere
That he never should have been
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

Every light is burnin'
In a house across town
She's pacin' by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Askin' for miracle
Hopin' she's not right
Prayin' it's the weather
That's kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She's waitin' by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been

Wild Horses

From a phone booth in Cheyenne
I made a promise to Diane
No more rodeos
I'd gone my last go 'round

The same promise that I made
In San Antone and Santa Fe
But tonight I saddled up
And let her down

Wild horses keep draggin' me away
And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
Wild horses just stay wild
And her heart is all I break
Wild horses keep draggin' me away

She'll watch me drive around her block
Gettin' courage up to stop
To make her one more promise
That I can't keep

The way I love the rodeo
I guess I should let her go
Before I hurt her more
Than she loves me

Wild horses keep draggin' me away
And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
Wild horses just stay wild
And her heart is all I break
Wild horses keep draggin' me away

Collin Raye

Love, 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
(chrous)
Between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you Love, me.


One Boy, One Girl

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
When 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
And 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
In front of 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
(Chorus)
He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned
"congratulations, twins"
(chrous)

Alecia Elliot

I'm Diggin' It

Here there, whats this feelin'
That's my heart you're stealin'
But that's ok, my baby
I don't want it back
What's this chemistry
Such intensity
Good emotions getting through
CHORUS:
It's your sweet love
I'm feelin' it
Can't get enough
Go figure it
Madly, deeply
Maybe i'm fallin'
Head over heels
I'm livin' it
Heart and soul
You're givin' it
I'm thinkin' that
I'm diggin' it

Come on, keep it coming
Think you're onto somethin'
So strong, so right
It's gotta be real
You're breakin' down the walls
And this is a powerful sense
Good emotions gettin' through

CHORUS:

I'm thinkin' that
I'm diggin' it
Oh, i'm diggin' it




SHeDAISY

My Little Good Byes

I'm gonna tell you something you don't want to hear
You never listen when I talk
Maybe you'll listen when I walk
So I made up my mind and made a sandwich
And I didn't shed a tear
I gave you one last minute of my time
In this mess I left behind

You'll come home tonight
And turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find
My little good-byes

Empty hangers by the closet floor
Lipstick tube on the bathroom floor
Unpaid bills by the kitchen phone
I took the Beatles, left Billy Joel
My little good-byes

I'm sure you're sure I'll be back in just an hour or two
You'll tape a Hallmark to my door
They always said it better than you
And if ya wonderin' if you're gonna hear from me
Well take a real good look around boy
And it won't be hard to see

When you come home tonight
And turn on the light
Don't you be surprised to find
My little good-byes

Took your favorite Dodgers hat
Left the litter, but I took the cat
My little good-byes
Loaded up the TV in the back of my car
Have fun watching the VCR
My little good-byes
Little Good-byes, oh baby, little good-byes

Bridge:
So cry to your mom and your sympathetic friends
And tell 'em how the story ends

My Little Good-byes
Took the hourglass left the sand
Now you got time on your hands

My little good-byes
Took the statue from Japan
Funny little Buddah man


My little good-byes
Changed my voice on the machine
Or there'll be little good-byes with every ring
My little good-byes

Left the pictures took the frames
Got the umbrella, here comes the rain
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Rain, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah,yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Little Good-byes

This woman needs

This woman who takes on the world
And picks up your shirts, keeps it together somehow
This same woman that melts with your touch
Wants you to feel what I'm feeling right now

(chorus)
'Cause this woman needs
A safe place to land
The strength in your hands
To know you know
What this woman needs
Is somewhere to cry
So lay by my side
And I'll tell you, I'll tell you

This woman needs to be reassured
That my heart's your home, and love is what wills you to stay
I need you to see me in every light
And hear that you still think I'm beautiful anyway

(repeat chorus)

What this woman needs
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, what this woman needs
Is somewhere to cry
So lay by my side
And I'll tell you , I'll tell you

What this woman needs
Yeah, what this woman needs
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What this woman needs

I'm still holding out for you

Never thought I'd be in this place
It's someone else's life I'm living
Wish i were living a lie
The hardest part is when the bough breaks
Falling down and then forgiving
You didn't kiss me good-bye
I'm choking on the words I didn't get to say
And pray I get the chance one day


I stil run, I sill swing open the door
I still think, you'll be there like before
Doesn't everybody know to never come around
Some thing's heart won't listen to
I'm still holding out for you

I can hear you smile in the dark
I can even feel your breathing
But daylight chases the ghosts
I see your coat and I fall apart
To those hints of you I'm clinging
Now's when I need them most
I should get up, dry my eyes and move ahead
At least that's what you would have said

(chorus)


Faithfully, I trace your name while you sleep
It's the the only true comfort I feel

I still run, I stil swing open the door
I still think, you'll be there like before
(chrous)



Cyndi Thomas

What I Really Meant To Say

It took me by surprise
When I saw you standin' there
Close enough to touch
Breathin' the same air
You asked me how I'd been
I guess that's when I smiled and said just fine
Oh, but baby I was lyin'

What I really meant to say
Is I'm dyin' here inside
And I miss you more each day
There's not a night I haven't cried
And baby, here's the truth
I'm still in love with you
(And, that's what I really meant to say)

And as you walked away
The echo of my words
Cut just like a knife
Cut so deep it hurt
I held back the tears
Held on to my pride and watched you go
I wonder if you'll ever know

What I really meant to say
Is I'm dyin' here inside
And I miss you more each day
There's not a night I haven't cried
And baby, here's the truth
I'm still in love with you
(And, that's what I really meant to say)

What I really meant to say
Is I'm really not that strong
No matter how I try
I'm still holdin' on
And here's the honest truth
I'm still in love with you
And, that's what I really meant to say

That's what I really meant to say
That's what I really meant to say

Always Liked That Best

Where do I start
Lying on a blanket underneath the stars
With your head on my chest
I always liked that best

I hate how times flies
I still think back sometimes
'Bout your lips on my neck
I always liked that best

That time we took a ride
Ended up down by the river side
Soft touch wet kiss
I always liked that best

I like the way you used to hold me
I like the way you came to know me
You came to know me well well well

Falling to sleep
Wearing your shirt 'cause it smelled so sweet
Who could forget
I always liked that best
Or losing my heart every time you sang to me on your guitar
"Lady in Red"
I always liked that best

I like the way you used to hold me
I like the way you came to know me
You came to know me well well well

I could go on
So many things I miss now that you're gone
Your love oh yes
I always liked that best

There Goes The Boy

There goes the boy from Santa Fe
Who lost his momma in the second grade
Played Romeo in his high school play
He's never been in an airplane

There goes the boy who goes to town
To poeple watch and just hang out
He likes to sing in the car out loud
With the windows rolled down

And I'd give anything to hold him again
Cause it still breaks my heart each time when
He walks by my window,oh no

There goes the boy who made me smile
Danced with me down a grocery isle
I taught him how to dress in style
His kisses always drove me wild

There goes the boy

And I'd give anything to hold him again
Cause it still breaks my heart each time when
He walks by my window,oh no

There goes the boy walking by my side
He's holding her hand just like he used to hold mine

There goes the boy
There goes the boy
There goes the boy


My World
(Cyndi Thomson/Chris Waters/Tommy Lee James)

My world is one long hot day in Georgia
Till the moon shines through the pines
And my world is sweet as the honeysuckle
Hanging from the vine

What's it like in your world baby
Won't you let me in
What's it like in your world baby
Maybe our world's can meet again

You drove through town on your way to somewhere
Just like everybody does
You stopped for gas and bag o' peaches
And we talked just long enough

What's it like in your world baby
Won't you let me in
What's it like in your world baby
Maybe our world's can meet again

I wanna go where I've never been
Let the wind blow through my hair
I wanna know what it's like to take a road
Just because it's there

My world turns slow as molasses
And you drove away so fast
You disappeared down route eighty-seven
Where there ain't no coming back

What's it like in your world baby
Won't you let me in
What's it like in your world baby
Maybe our world's can meet again

Jeff Carson

Real Life

I was young, he was old, we both were the same age
Everyday playin fetch, shaking hands, hed lick my face
and I was unaware the day would come
And when he died, for the first time I knew what real pain was

And I never was the same again
From that moment on, real life began

Senior high, girlfriends, football games, graduation
Summer break, spent my time, fillin out applications
A few superficial years went by, they were all a blur
Then in the most unlikely situation, there you were
(chrous)


By your side, scare to death, felt the pain you were fighting
Placed my palm on your head, spoke your name, just keep tryin
And then you closed you eyes and took one last breath
And when it was over, you looked up, I laid our baby across your breast
(chrous)


Lonestar

Amazed

Everytime our eyes meet, This feelin' inside me,
Is almost more than I can take, Baby when you touch me,
I can feel how much you love me, And it just blows me away,
I've never been this close to anyone or anything, I can hear your thoughts,
I can see your dreams,

I don't know how you do what you do, I'm so in love with you,
It just keeps gettin' better, I want to spend the rest of my life,
With you by my side, forever and ever, Every little thing that you do,
Baby I'm amazed by you.

The smell of your skin, The taste of your kiss,
The way you whisper in the dark, Your hair all around me,
Baby you surround me, You touch every place in my heart,
You know it feels like the first time, Everytime,
I want to spend the whole night in your eyes,

I don't know how you do what you do I'm so in love with you,
It just keeps gettin' better, I want to spend the rest of my life,
With you by my side, forever and ever, Every little thing that you do,
Baby I'm amazed by you.

Smile

I still remember the night we met
You said you loved my smile
And your love for me was like a summer breeze
Oh, it lasted for a while
I could hold on a little tighter I know
But when you love someone you gotta let 'em go

So, I'm gonna smile, cause I wanna make you happy
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me, I'm gonna smile

Kiss me once for the good times baby
Kiss me twice for goodbye
You can't help how you don't feel
And it doesn't matter why
Give me a chance to bow out gracefully
Cause that's how I want you to remember me

I'm gonna smile, cause I wanna make you happy
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

I'm gonna smile, so you can find the courage
Laugh, so you won't see me hurtin'
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

Lonely Grill

Box speaker talkin' out of tune
Two for one on the blue lagoon
Another lost and found
Bartender takes another pass
Puts the salt on the rim of another glass
And he sets it down
I know every color of every neon sign
Bashin' out a heartache in the back of my mind

Down at the lonely grill, got nothin' but time to kill
At the end of everyday
I sit in a corner booth, doing nothin' but think of you
And the love we threw away
And I guess I always will
Down at the lonely grill

Sad-eyed waitress called Betty Lynn
Got her order pad and her ball point pen
And said, what'll it be
I said, a tall glass of cold regret
With a full order of loneliness like every night this week
I'll shoulder my pride and I drink it down
Another smoke filled evening
With no fire too be found

Down at the lonely grill
Got nothin' but time to kill
At the end of everyday
I sit in a corner booth
Doing nothin' but think of you
And the love we threw away
And I guess I always knew
Down at the lonely grill
Lonely grill

I sit in a corner booth
Doing nothin' but think of you
And the love we threw away
And I guess I always will
Down at the lonely grill
Lonely grill

Down at the lonely grill
Down at the lonely grill
Down at the lonely grill
At the lonely grill

I'm Already There

He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
And when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
And said "Daddy when you coming home"
He said the first thing that came to his mind

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there

She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes

I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there

We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
Oh I'm already
There

Ready To Run

When the train rolls by
I'm gonna be ready this time
When the boy gets that look in his eye
I'm gonna be ready this time
When my momma says I look good in white
I'm gonna be ready this time

Oh yeah
Ready, ready, ready, ready...ready to run
All I'm ready to do is have some fun
What's all this talk about love

I feel the wind blow through my hair
I'm gonna be ready this time
I'll buy a ticket to anywhere
I'm gonna be ready this time
You see it feels like I'm starting to care
And I'm going to be ready this time

Oh yeah
Ready, ready, ready, ready...ready to run
All I'm ready to do is have some fun
What's all this talk about love

I'm ready to run...I'm ready to run

Oh
ready, ready, ready, ready...ready to run
All I'm ready to do is have some fun
What's all this talk about love
I'm ready to run
I'm ready to run
I'm ready to run
I'm ready to run...ready to run...
ready to run...yeah I'm ready to run. I'm ready
Whoa I'm ready to run...I'm ready...I'm ready to run...
I'm ready to run...I'm ready
Oh I'm ready to run..I'm ready.

Jessica Andrews

You Go First

You're kicking tires, I'm sitting on the fence
Love's falling all around us, and it don't make sense
How long can the two of us beat around the bush
We're right out on the edge but we need a little push

Dancing on the tightrope, wearing it thin
Instead of closing our eyes and jumping in

Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
You go first

You're dodging the moon and I'm playing it safe
Look what we're not doing, oh boy, what a waste
And what could be worse than never saying it at all
Is never knowing the feeling, never feeling the fall

What's it gonna take to get us both there
Can't you see what I'm suggesting, it's a double dare

Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
You go first

You start if you have the nerve
I'll trust my heart, but you go first

Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
You go first

Unbreakable Heart

An empty house, a broken fairy tale
A hollow girl with empty arms
From an angel's tears God made the stars
Why can't He make me an unbreakable heart

In my blue world, you shone like Heaven's fire
And left me cryin' in the dark
How could anyone be so hard
Did you think I had an unbreakable heart

I suppose I should know
Sometimes love just comes and goes
But I believed, foolish me
We'd go on and on

One day, someone will come to you
And rock you tightly in her arms
Please remember this, when you drop your guard
Nobody has an unbreakable heart

From an angel's wings to a fallen star
God makes everything but unbreakable hearts

Heart Shaped World

This ain't the planet I've been living on
It don't circle round the sun
Ever since the day you came along
Everything I do revolves around you
You're my only one

'Cause I'm waking up to love; I'm crossing new frontiers
Living in a heart shaped world
And I'm starting to see that we could stay forever here
Living in a heart shaped world

Now everybody knows the earth is round
Chris Columbus showed us that
Call me crazy but I think I've found
A reason to believe, maybe history
Should review the facts

Now I'm waking up to love; I'm crossing new frontiers
Living in a heart shaped world
I'm starting to see that we could stay forever here
Living in a heart shaped world

I've heard that love can turn your world around
But you have changed the shape of my world somehow
Everything I do revolves around you
Now I'm waking up to love; I'm crossing new frontiers
Living in a heart shaped world
And I'm starting to see that we could stay forever here
Living in a heart shaped world

I Will Be There For You

When I lost faith
You believed in me
When I stumbled
You were right there
For every act of love you've done
I owe you one

There were hard times
I know I survived
Just because you stayed by my side
With all I have, with all I am
I promise you all my life

Whenever the road is too long
Whenever the wind is too strong
Wherever the journey may lead to
I will be there for you
I will be there for you

Through sorrow
Or the darkest night
When there's heartache
Deep down inside
Just like a prayer, you will be there
And I promise you all my life

Whenever the road is too long
Whenever the wind is too strong
Wherever the journey may lead to
I will be there for you
I will be there for you

Whenever the road is too long
Whenever the wind is too strong
Wherever the journey may lead to
I will be there for you
I will be there for you

I'll always be there

Every Time

I laid the blanket there on the shoreline
And saw the water shine with the moon
What kind of fool would fail to notice
The best thing shining was you

Oh, I laughed kinda nervous
I felt you move closer
And felt the world unwind
Once was a stranger, not quite a lover
But steadily crossing the line

Carry me far away
Don't hold back; I won't break
Leave the ghosts behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night
Will get me every time
Every time

Well, the voice in my head said
"What are you doing?"
I thought not listening to you
You see I'm taking a chance
I'm thinking about flying over the blue

And it's crazy to be this out of practice
And have it all come so naturally
Don't you love knocking logic right off its axis
And watch it float far out to sea

Carry me far away
Don't hold back; I won't break
Leave the ghosts behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night
Will get me every time
Every time
Every time
Every time
Every time

So now here I am reading my fortune
In the winding lines of your hand
Oh, and I see a lost unwanted orphan
Head right for the promised land

Carry me far away
I won't
I won't break
Oh
Carry me far away
Don't hold back; I won't break
Leave the ghosts behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night
Will get me every time
Will get me every time
Every time

Helplessly, Hopelessly, Recklessly

I can stand with the weight of the world
On my shoulders
I can fight with the toughest of the tough
I can laugh in the face
Of all my insecurities
Anytime, anywhere, anything
I'm strong enough

But when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling in love

So let consequence do what it will to us
I don't care
Let the stars stand as witness to it all
Say the word and tonight I will follow you anywhere
I just can't pretend anymore
I'm too sturdy to fall

But when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling in love

I am not afraid
I am not afraid

'Cause when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling...
(Helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly falling)
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling in love

Who I Am

If I live to be a hundred
And never see the seven wonders
That'll be alright
If I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
'Cause I know exactly who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

So when I make big mistake
When I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowin'
I will be just fine
'Cause nothin' changes who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

I'm a saint and I'm a sinner
I'm a loser, I'm a winner
I'm am steady and unstable
I am young but I'm able

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

LeeAnn Rimes

the light in your eyes

Life can take your dreams and turn them upside down
Friends will talk about you when you're not around
Reality can really cut you down to size
But don't ever lose that light in your eyes
Don't ever lose that light in your eyes

People make you promises they'll never keep
Soon you'll know why people say talk is cheap
And life resembles one big compromise
But don't ever lose that light in your eyes

Keep on shining
Keep on shining
Don't lose faith and don't lose heart
When you're crying
Just keep trying to remind yourself
you're a shining star
Yes you are

Somewhere down the line you'll face the judgement day
When the angels look at you, what will they say?
They've got a way of knowing who qualifies
Just let 'em see that light in your eyes

Don't ever lose that light in your eyes
Keep on smiling
Keep on smiling
Don't lose faith and don't lose heart
When you're crying
Just keep trying to remind yourself you're a shinging star
Yes you are

Don't ever lose that light in your eyes
Don't ever lose that light in your eyes
Don't ever lose ...
Don't ever lose ...

Blue

Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me?
Blue
Oh, so lonsome fot you
Tears fill my eyes 'till I can't see

Three o'clock in the morning, here am I
Sitting here so lonley, so lonesome I could cry

Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me?

Now that it's over, I realize
Those weak words you whispered, were nothing but lies
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me?
Why can't you be blue over me?

Big Deal

Well he used to be mine
Not 'til very long ago
I was crazy to ever let him get away
But girl you should know better
Then to go braggin' in my face
So forgive me for what I'm 'bout to say

Big deal
So what? Who cares?
Ya just got lucky that's all it was
Shut up
Don't wanta hear another word about
Candelight and long stem roses
And how you're fallin' head over heels
In love, so what?
Big deal

He's perfect, I heard ya
The first ten times that ya told me
Yeah, yeah, it's amazin' his lovin'
I can't believe I let him go'o'o
I regret it, there I said it
Ya call yourself a friend
But ya just keep rubbin' it in

Big deal
So what? Who cares?
Ya just got lucky that's all it was
I swear if I hear another word about
Candelight or long stem roses
And how you're fallin' head over heels
In love, so what?
Big deal

Congadulations, I'm just so happy for you
I can't contain the way I feel

Big deal, big deal
So what? Who cares?
Ya just got lucky that's all it was
Shut up
Don't wanta hear another word about
Candelight and long stem roses
And how you're fallin' head over heels
In love, so what?
Big deal

I nedd you

I don't need a lot of things,
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring,
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason,
You're my only truth


I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you


You're the hope that moves me
To courage again
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds rage
And it's so amazing
'Cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'Cause you've brought me too far
