There's
More to Me Than You
I spent years and all of this time
Thinking I was better off
Cause you were mine
You always said it was your way or the highway
So I'm shiftin my life into drive
I'm getting out, kissin' the past goodbye
Like Toby said
"How do you like me now?"
This conversation has run dry
And I keep telling myself
Ooh ooh ooh
There's more to me than you
Ooh ooh
Don't underestimate what I can do
Well I'm alright
It's OK
I know I'll make it through
Cause there's more to me than you
I'm not sayin I'm battered and bruised
But I might as well be with the words you use
I believe in myself that makes me stronger
Things change, and so have I
I'm gonna make hay while the sun still shines
You can clip my wings, but I'm still gonna fly
I'm on my own and I'm on my way
And I keep telling myself
Ooh ooh ooh
There's more to me than you
Ooh ooh
Don't underestimate what I can do
Well I'm alright
It's okay
I know I'll make it through
Cause there's more to me than you
There was always something that meant more to you than me
And I'm just sorry it's taken this for you to see yeah
Ooh ooh ooh
There's more to me than you
Well I'm alright
It's okay
I know I'll make it through
Cause there's more to me than you
Ooh ooh ooh
There's more to me than you
Ooh ooh ooh
There's more to me than you
There's more to me than you
There's more to me than you

You're
the Man (That Brings the Woman Out of Me)
Sittin' here all by myself
With my heart up on a shelf
This house don't feel like home to me
I watch the clock up on the wall
The time stands still that's all
When you're out of reach I guess you could see
But since you went away
I've been feeling this way
What I really wanna say
I wanna see you
I wanna be with you
I wanna feel you
And put my arms around you
When I hold you
Won't let go of you
Baby if I could kiss you, I'd make love to you
Cause I need you like I've never needed anybody
Oh baby can't you see
You're the man that brings the woman out of me
I took a walk out in the rain
Loney nights all feel the same
With each goodbye I'm closer to you
And though the miles pull us apart
We both knew it from the start
Together we can make it through
Every minute that you're gone
Is a minute too long
Right here's where you belong
I wanna see you
I wanna be with you
I wanna feel you
And put my arms around you
When I hold you
Won't let go of you
Baby if I could kiss you, I'd make love to you
Cause I need you like I've never needed anybody
Oh baby can't you see
You're the man that brings the woman out of me
When we are together
It's like nothing that I've ever
Felt before when you lay your hands on me
It's lightning and it's thunder
This sweet spell that I'm under
Baby, you're all that I need
I wanna see you
I wanna be with you
I wanna feel you
And put my arms around you
When I hold you
Won't let go of you
Baby if I could kiss you, I'd make love to you
Cause I need you like I've never needed anybody
Oh baby can't you see
You're the man that brings the woman out of me

When Gentry plays guitar
It's like a song Leon sang long ago
When Gentry plays guitar the girls at the bar,

When he lets down his long brown hair
I wish he belong to me
But he don't, he belong to the song and the melody
When Gentry plays guitar
When Gentry sings his song, he's all alone,
In a glass house made of stone
When Gentry sings his song
His mom and dad and his sister all sing along
Sweet home Oaklahoma, Prince of peace
When he lets down his long brown hair
I wish he belong to me
But he don't he belong to the song and the melody

Cowboy
Guarantee
There were signs all over town
Come see the rodeo
When I saw those fair ground lights a shinin'
I knew I had to go
There were bulls and wild horses
Arrows and clowns
Rhinestones and glitter sparklin'
And cowboys all around
But there was one I never will forget
He was wild as a tumble weed blowin'
Restless like a river runnin' free
And when he smiled I knew my heart would be broken
He was gonna leave
That's the cowboy guarantee
That night we got together
We drove out to the lake
Beneath the stars and Texas moonlight
I gave my heart away
But you can't tame a river
And I wouldn't want to try
Cause it was worth all the hurtin'
To know that for one night
I was loved like I've never been before
He was wild as a tumble weed blowin'
Restless like a river runnin' free
When he smiled I knew my heart would be broken
He was gonna leave
That's the cowboy guarantee
He was wild as a tumble weed blowin'
Restless like a river runnin' free
When he smiled I knew my heart would be broken
He was gonna leave
That's the cowboy guarantee
Cause a cowboy is a cowboy
And he always is gonna be
That's the cowboy guarantee
Oh that's the cowboy guarantee oh
They're gone, they're gone yeah
Cowboy guarantee
They're gone

I
Wish for You
Time goes by so fast
And days they seem to dance
Into the distance til they're gone
If I had a map to lead you down life's path
I'd give it to you but I don't
So go on
Cry hard, laugh loud
Be humble, stand proud
And don't be afraid of your fears
Let love break your heart
Just be who you are
All of this, all that there is
I wish for you
You can never know
Which way your world will turn
Or how the stars are gonna fall
Salty tears, they burn
And there are lessons you will learn
But you'll be stronger for it all
Yes you will
Cry hard, laugh loud
Be humble, stand proud
And don't be afraid of you fears
Let love break your heart
Just be who you are
All of this, all that there is
I wish for you
Cry hard, laugh loud
Be humble, stand proud
Hold on to you faith with all your heart
Be careful, be brave
Be still, but don't stay
At any one place for too long
Remember God's grace
Give more than you take
All of this, all that there is
I wish for you
I wish for you, I wish for you
Oh, I wish for you, I wish for you
Ooh, I wish for you
|
Now
All my life I've waited
And I've been afraid
And wondered if I'd find
Someone to share my life
And everyday I prayed
And every night I searched
In every stranger's eyes
For some kind of sign
Me and my heart
Wishing in the dark
Trying to believe in a sky full of stars
I was waiting for you
A million empty days
Too much time and space
Every tear I cried
Every lonely night
I was waiting for you.
Now here you are
And my world is, my world is so beautiful.
Now here you are
And my life is, my life is so wonderful.
Now
The past seems like a dream
Just a vacancy
How did I exist
Before our first kiss?
Oh I feel so lucky
Because I know you love me
No one ever has, like no one ever has
Me and my heart
Wishing in the dark
Trying to believe in a sky full of stars
I was waiting for you
All those empty days
All the time and space
Every tear I cried
Every lonely night
I was waiting for you
Now here you are
And my world is, my world is so beautiful.
Now here you are
And my life is, my life is so wonderful.
Now
Now here you are
And my world is, my world is so beautiful.
Now here you are
And my life is, my life is so wonderful.

To
Love You Once
Oh, oh, yeah yeah oh, oh
I tried to let it go
I try to shut it out
Cleanse it from my soul
But it stays in place like a permanent stain, yeah
All I want
Is to turn you down
To sleep you off
But your memory creeps in the night of my dreams, and
Hits me like a cold hard fist
Why can't I get over this
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Is to love you forever
Oh, oh, yeah yeah, oh, oh
I can't kick your affection
I'm sick of trying to
You're like a bad addiction
Running through my veins
You're the habit I crave, yeah
Some kind of voodoo in your eyes
Has my head all hypnotized
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Is to love you forever
Oh, oh, yeah yeah, oh, oh
I've come to one conclusion that
There's just no substitution
Baby to love you once, oh
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Is to love you forever and ever and ever
One look and I was hooked
One touch is all it took
Your lips, your velvet skin
Pulled me over and under and in
To love you once
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Is to love you forever
Oh, oh yeah yeah, oh, oh

Second
Sunday
Monday mornings are bittersweet
Just like the coffee in my cup
It's what you need but not enough
Here without warning, another week
I'd rather crawl back into bed
And lie with you all day instead
Everyone around the world can understand me
And this feeling inside
Maybe my heart is just a little too demanding
Oh, but when I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes baby
I need a second Sunday
So I can be with you
I'm gonna tell Monday
This is something I've got to do
Another 24 hours is all that it takes
Sometimes love just needs a second Sunday
A second Sunday
Its six AM hey, aren't you sweet?
With your hair all in a mess I wonder
Why did I get dressed?
Went from California to NYC
Theres a fever goin' round
Like the love that we have found
Maybe my heart is just a little too demanding
Oh but when I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
I need a second Sunday
So I can be with you
I'm gonna tell Monday
This is something I've got to do
Another 24 hours is all that it takes
Sometimes love just needs a second Sunday
Another 24 hours is all that it takes
Sometimes love just needs a second Sunday
Dont feel guilty
Just cause we wanna stay in bed
If you love me
Don't let the weekend go
Yeah
I need a second Sunday
So I can be with you
I'm gonna tell Monday
This is something I've got to do
Another 24 hours is all that it takes
Sometimes love just needs a second Sunday
Sometimes love just needs a second Sunday
I need a second Sunday
So I can be with you
I'm gonna tell Monday
This is something I've got to do
Another 24 hours is all that it takes
Sometimes love just needs a second Sunday
A second Sunday
All I want baby (second Sunday)
All I need (second Sunday)
A second Sunday

Bring
It To You
All of these words on paper
All of these thoughts in my head
Deals I've made with the maker
The me that sleeps in our bed
All of these stones in my pocket
Daydreams I've left on the shore
A jagged half of a locket
I lay it all at your door
And I
Bring it to you
There's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole
I'm gold
And I bring it to you
Songs I've shouted to heaven
Secrets I've kept in a box
Trust never given
The keys that don't fit any locks
Oh, I bring it to you
There's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole
I'm gold
And I bring it to you
But more than anything
I bring you love
I bring you love
I bring it to you
There's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole
I'm gold
And I bring it to you
(I bring it to you)
There's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole
I'm gold (bring it to, bring it to, bring it to, bring it to)

Windows
on a Train
It felt like just a moment
The way they never last
Where were you goin' that you had to leave so fast
We were supposed to wake up
One day when we were older
Holdin' on forever
But we flew past each other
Like windows on a train
The flashing of a frame
I can't hold on but I can't let go
A snapshot in my mind
Of a love that's stuck in time
I saw it slip away
Windows on a train
I'm not sure what happened
But here I am alone
Tryin' to find a way
To find the reason that you're gone
I don't know if I'm shakin'
From the rhythm of these wheels
Or if it's my heart breakin'
And this is how it feels,
This is how it feels
Like windows on a train
The flashing of a frame
I can't hold on but I can't let go
A snapshot in my mind
Of a love that's stuck in time
I saw it slip away
Windows on a train
I'm on my way to kneel down with the truth
And with my black dress on to say goodbye to you oh
Windows on a train
The flashing of a frame
I can't hold on but I can't let go
A snapshot in my mind
Of a love that's stuck in time
I saw it slip away
Windows on a train

Never
Be Forgotten
I'll always see your face
The corner of your smile
And all the little things
No one will ever know
Like it was yesterday
Won't ever fade away
Goodbye is just a word
I will never say
You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Well I still feel you here with me
You're more than just a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten
I can't hold your hand
Or look into your eyes
And when I talk to you
It just echoes in my mind
But if hearts are made of dust
And if we fell from the stars
I'd look up tonight and know just where you are
You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Well I still feel you here with me
You're more than just a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten
And the world just keeps on going
It has no way of knowing that you're gone
You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Well I still feel you here with me
You're more than just a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten
Forgotten

God
Don't Give Up on Us
Who will with the holy war
Can you tell me what they're fighting for
And do you look down in disgust
God don't give up on us
Mother Nature, ashamed and bruised
All her precious gifts abused
Her forest burnt, her rivers rust
God don't give up on us
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on love
Nothing loved is ever lost
God don't give up on us
We hold our babies in our arms
And pray you'll keep them safe from harm
In a world that's so unjust
God don't give up on us
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on love
Nothing loved is ever lost
God don't give up
For every bullet fired,
For every soul that's lost
Forgive our dark desires
And the pain we've caused
Please don't close your eyes, to the part of us
That's beautiful, still beautiful
How can we regain your trust?
God don't give up
God don't give up on us

They
Are the Roses
Born with heaven in their eyes
God sent, innocent
The promise of life
Born into this mess we've made
Holding the future
And hope of better days
Cause these is nothing more beautiful and wild
Than the dreams that grow in the heart
Of every child
They are the roses
They are the lights that shine
They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide
They are angels
They are souls in flight
They are the hope that
Everything's gonna be alright
They are the roses
Imagine a place
Filled with happy sounds of playgrounds
Where ever child is safe
Where people join hands
And pray that the children
Will all have a chance
In every family, every tribe and every town
We're the keepers of this garden
And we can't let them down
Cause they are the roses
They are the lights that shine
They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide
They are angels
They are souls in flight
They are the hope that
Everything's gonna be alright
They are the roses
Imagine a place
Where all people join hands
And every child is safe
Cause they are the roses
They are the lights that shine
They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide
They are angels
They are souls in flight
They are the hope that
Everything's gonna be alright
They are the roses
They are the lights that shine
They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide
They are angels
They are souls in flight
They are hope that
Everything's gonna be alright

Good
Time
I guess it's written on my face
God, I get so sick of this place
I gotta get up, get out, and get a life
The days run long and nights too short
Not much time for me no more
And I'm well overdue
So now I'm going to
Let my hair down
Bleach it blonde
Turn the ringer off and the engine on
Cause I can't wait to get to the good time.
Hey just one stop at the ATM
Grab a hundred bucks, and a real good friend
Pack it up and take a load off my mind
Cause I can't wait to get to the good time
Me and my baby get along
Got a lot of love, got it goin' on
I wouldn't let go, not for anything
But something bout how the highway feels
When your drivin' along on your freedom wheels
You know any destination will kill the frusturation
Let my hair down
Bleach it blonde
Turn the ringer off and the engine on
Cause I can't wait to get to the good time
Hey just one stop at the ATM
Grab a hundred bucks, and a real good friend
Pack it up and take a load off my mind
Cause I can't wait to get to the good time
Just for the weekend
Let's jump off the deep end
I'm going to
Let my hair down
Bleach it blonde
Turn the ringer off and the engine on
Cause I can't wait to get to the good time
Yea just one stop at the ATM
Grab a hundred bucks, and a real good friend
Pack it up and take a load off my mind
Cause I can't wait to get to the good time
Turn the ringer off and the engine on
Cause I can't wait to get to the good time
Yea just one stop at the ATM
Grab a hundred bucks, and a real good friend
Pack it up and take a load off my mind
Ooh I can't wait to get to the good time
Oh I can't wait to get to the good time
Oh oh oh I can't wait to get to the good time
I can't wait to get to the good time
Oh
Oh cause I can't wait to get to the good time

Sunshine
and Love
If I had a zillion dollars
And the whole world on a string,
Diamonds in my pockets
And the power of a king,
I dont think I'd be any happier then I am right now,
Cause money's only paper,
It might buy a lot of stuff,
But if money's what you're chasing
You won't ever have enough,
Cause the best things in life might not be free
But they sure are cheap
Like sunshine, blue skies and a river on a hot hot day,
Moonlight and a good fight standing out in the pouring rain,
So many things that money buys
But really nothing I can find like sunshine and love
There's something 'bout the moment
When two hemispheres collide,
Someone opens up their world
And lets you see inside,
And you realize that everything that you've been waiting for,
For your whole life is standing right there,
There ain't nothing like love
Like sunshine, blue skies and a river on a hot hot day,
Moonlight and a good fight standing out in the pouring rain,
So many things that money buys
But really nothing I can find like sunshine and love
Like sunshine and blue skies and a river on a hot hot day,
Moonlight and a good fight standing out in the pouring rain,
Sunshine, blue skies and a river on a hot hot day,
Moonlight and a good fight standing out in the pouring rain,
So many things that money buys
But really nothing I can find like sunshine and love
Oh, oh, oh
Yea, yea oh
Sunshine and love
Sunshine and love
Sunshine and love
Sunshine and love
