Somethin' 'bout the season Put's my heart in my throat Put's a light in my eye Fills me with hope There's so many reasons For the smile on my face I can't keep from singin' When I'm feelin' this way Make a joyful noise Send it out across the sky ton...

I felt so good the day we met Like I just discovered a long lost friend I knew I loved you from that day on I still feel the same even though you're gone I just believe in the love we had, too strong Always have, always will There's a place in my heart...

Angelene, she's such a pretty thing All dolled up in her hip huggin' jeans Mama's heels and her ruby red rouge Sneakin' out while her daddy's passed out Hangin' out with the wrong crowd She's got all the right moves And she's givin' away little pieces o...

There are times when the winds blow Every word I cry back again And it gets hard, hard as I try to find The strength to even survive But when I've done all I can do I can always turn to you Another should at the wheel to see me through When the road i...

I don't know how I survived In this cold and empty world For all this time I only know that I'm alive Because you love me When I recall what I've been through There's some things That I wish I didn't do Now I do the things I do Because you love me...

Me and the girls, out after work Drinkin' margeritas, one night After a few, the conversation turned to The kind of guys we like One only dates doctors One like cowboys And one prefers the sensitive kind Well, I really shocked 'em, then All jaws were...

Another day has almost come and gone Can't imagine what else could go wrong Sometimes I'd like to hide away somewhere and lock the door A single battle lost but not the war 'Cause, tomorrow's another day And I'm thirsty anyway So bring on the rain It'...

Do you wanna be a poet and write? Do you wanna be an actor up in lights? Do you wanna be a soldier and fight for love? Do you wanna travel the world? Do you wanna be a diver for pearls? Or climb a mountain and touch the clouds above? Be anyone you want...

Boy you sure look good there standin' In the doorway in the sunset light Maybe I read you wrong thinkin' You could be my Mr. Right I was puttin' my heart and soul on the line Said you needed some time Just a little more time to make up your mind Well,...

I love the way you look at me Can't you see, you're the only one That I could ever need? Can't you feel how much, how much I wanna get Maybe just a little, just a little bit Closer, closer than anything Don't you wanna be Closer till there's nothing i...

I'm not afraid I can count on you To catch me now I'll just let go, one thing is true You won't let me down With your arms around To cover me With the sweetest touch I've ever known Cover me, you won't let me Face love alone I know that smile It'...

You and me, baby, can meet for the weekend To solidify all our plans We'll follow a jet stream to some place exotic All in the name of romance 'Cause we're still young and in love And we just believe We can be strong and do anything If we dare to dream...

If I won me the lottery I'd dance naked in the street With a top hat full of money And you'd wanna get to know me If I won me the lottery And if I was a movie star I'd sip honey from a pickle jar In the back of my limousine They'd call me an icon And...

There's a little bitty flame burnin' deep in my heart You wanna make something of it? Oh do you feel the same maybe just a little spark You wanna make something of it? Do you wanna turn it into somethin' that's a burnin' like a ragin' fire outta control W...

I haven't been myself these days According to friends I tend to lose a part of me When my heart is on the mend I'll be alright, it's safe to say 'Cause just like your love, this is only a phase Well, I've been down this road a time or two it's nothin' ne...

Pick up any morning paper Turn on the 6 o'clock news The Devil's been so busy lately That even God must get the blues A young man lies there in the street His life goes like it was nothin' to lose And for the shoes there on his feet Yes, even God must...

I remember when I was a little girl Growin' up livin' in my own little world So it seemed I had my dolls and dreams Mama was always there to comfort me And her love Wasn't nothin' quite like it In the world that I knew of Before I knew it I was stan...

His heart was tougher than a piece of leather Had a will carved out of stone He was stallion who had thrown every rider No woman could seem to hang on He had always been a fortress With walls to high to climb But then again he'd never seen Julie cry He...

Baby, what do you say we just get lost? Leave this one horse town like two rebels without a cause I got people in Boston, ain't your daddy still in Des Moines? We can pack up tomorrow, tonight let's flip a coin Heads Carolina, tails California Somewhere...

I came by today to see you Oh I had to let you know If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time I'd have held you, and never let go Oh, it's kept me awake nights, wondering I lie in the dark, just asking why I've always been told You won...

Remember me The one who picked up all the pieces, me The one whos love for you increases everyday And it won't go away like she did Remember her The one who left your heart abandoned, her Well she's back again and I can't stand it It hurts 'cause with her tear...

Look at who the wind's Blowin' up the road Shining like a northern star Actin' like the answers To all my prayers But, baby, I know what you really are So don't you knock on my door I won't be home anymore You can find me out walking in the sun Oh, you hide i...

Come close, just look at me, can you see That new England breeze blowin' through my hair Stare into my eyes, can't you see the endless sky Peakin' through the cracks of that abandoned barn I got my first kiss there My victories, my broken dreams You don...

Well it's been a long time, glad to see your face I knew we'd meet again, another time, another place Can't believe it's been so many years You'd better grab a chair and a couple of beers Looking good in your three-piece suit You know, I always knew you'd tak...

Every night that I have cried myself to sleep Every time when I had given up on dreams And every hope and prayer had fallen through I was only on my way to you Baby, I'm home When it's only you and me All this crazy world just seems to disappear Baby,...

I'll admit I can be Hard to please Now and then I disagree Just to disagree There are times I want what I want 'Cause I want it There are things I don't know I have When I've got 'em But when I look at you I ask myself How could there be somebody else? If not...

This old worls can be cruel sometimes When you're looking for answers You can't seem to find No one understands what you're going through Oh I know it can get lonely out there When you feel like nobody cares Well you look around thinking If they only k...

Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin' Somebody's gonna give you back what you've been givin' And I hope that I'm around To watch 'em knock you down It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em Just like you loved me and left me It's like you to do that sort...

Still thristy But the well has run dry I could fill it with tears But I ain't gonna cry So hungry for some kind of sign I look for forgiveness But there's rage in your eyes I should've seen it comin' I should've been warned Now I'm runnin' from a hear...

Well you filled up my head with so many lies You've twisted my heart 'til something snapped inside I'd like to give it one more try But, my give a damn's busted You can crawl back home, say you were wrong Stand out in the yard and cry all night long Go...

I gave you everything I had Oh, but it wasn't enough It don't seem right to hurt so bad When all you're giving is love You wouldn't let me love you You're just too hard to hold I gotta break the chains that bind me So I'm Gonna take a cab, take a train Maybe...

Here I am beggin? you to hold me When everything is tellin? me to run I should turn around, leave this town Without a sound and never say word one, just call it done But I? m torn right down the middle I? m on both sides of the line I know I should be leavin?...

Watched him coming upwind, slow Down South Park Boulevard Looking good from tail to hood Great big fins and painted steel Man, it looked just like the Batmobile With my old man behind the wheel Well, you could hardly even see him in all that chrome The man wit...

He left me cryin' late one Sunday night outside of Boulder He said he had to find himself out on the road I guess when love goes wrong You've gotta learn to be strong So I worked two jobs and I moved three times I ended up south of Memphis, workin' down...

Everybody wants an easy ride On the merry-go-round that we call life Take your drive on cruise control Then you wait to find out it's a winding road I had my dreams in view When the money ran out and the engine blew Hung my tears out to dry Then my dre...

I wake up to the sunshine Out my window And the passin? sound Of a homeless man Singin? an ol? Cole Porter song The faucet leaks The TV? s on the blink again But my restless dreams Are still intact Even though it? s takin? way too long I got a hundred dollar...

Everyday is one more reminder Of a life, a life without you I get by, get by kind of Well, at least that's what I'm trying to do Torn apart by all the reasons Lose myself in all the pieces Can't figure out the meaning So unsure and all I know is I wake up, g...

It's been 23 weeks and by now you would think That the thrill is gone but it's not I'm not one to leap in but I dove off the deep end And I'm givin' it all that I got Now I'm stuck in this traffic, just thinkin' of you And how nobody does it the way that...

I've never been one to believe much in ghosts, But to tell you the truth now, my mind is not closed. I've heard there are souls that are lost in between Somewhere they're goin', and the places they've been. That sounds a lot like a woman I know, Her love is lo...

I don't want to be the one who's old before their time And loose the wonder that I felt as a child I can't run this race believing I might loose There's still so much to see, and so much left to do Yes I'll fall before I fly But no one can say I never tried...

You wait your whole life for one moment And if it ever comes, you pray your eyes are open To see the answer to love's a mystery I think I see it now right in front of me I know what I'm doing for the rest of my life I'm waving goodbye to love, the way I...

It's good to see you comin' 'round, it's been a while Sure is nice to see your smile Yeah, I'm doing better now, thought about Callin' you a hundred times Oh, I had left a couple messages And I never heard a word, not one Where were you when I needed...

Over the ground lies a mantle of white A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night Two hearts are thrillin' in spite of the chill in The weather Love knows no season love knows no clime Romance can blossom any old time Here in the open we're walkin' and...

Hey, ooh Here goes another day, a hug and a kiss And we're on our way A cup of coffee for the road Baby, I can't wait to get back home We juggle all our hopes dreams With a million responsibilities Now and then we drop the ball We lean sometimes but...

You can spread your wings and fly You can try to go so high in the sky That you'll never come down You can follow every dream But when it seems everything you believe Never works out Remember I'm right here for you When everything comes undone You be...

There's a little bitty flame burnin' deep in my heart You wanna make something of it? Oh, do you feel the same, maybe just a little spark? You wanna make something of it Do you wanna turn it into somethin' That's a burnin' like a ragin' fire out of contr...

I woke up at 5 A.M. Hearing your voice again But it was just the TV Coming from the other room Your half empty coffee cup Is sitting right where it was I almost moved it last night But it didn't feel right It's too soon, it's too soon It still feels...
