Reba - Reba #1's Lyrics
You're Gonna Be (Always Loved by Me)
6 pounds and 9 ounces, lookin' up at me
Like I have all the answers
I hope, I have the ones you need
I've never really done this, now I know what scared is
Sometimes, I'll protect you from everything that's wrong
Other times, I'll let you just find out on your own
But that's when you'll be growin'
And the whole time I'll be knowin'
You're gonna fly with every dream you chase
You're gonna cry but know that that's okay
Sometimes life's not fair but if you hang in there
You're gonna see that sometimes bad is good
We just have to believe things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me
You're gonna be
I'm afraid you'll have to suffer through some of my mistakes
Lord, knows I'll be trying, oh, to give you what it takes
What it takes to know the difference between getting by and livin'
?Cause anything worth doing is worth doing all the way
Just know you'll have to live with all the choices that you make
So make sure you're always givin' way more than you're takin'
You're gonna fly with every dream you chase
You're gonna cry, but know that that's okay
Sometimes life's not fair, but if you just hang in there
You're gonna see that sometimes bad is good
We just have to believe things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me
You're gonna be
Someone's everything
You're gonna see
Just what you are to me
You're gonna fly with every dream you chase
We just have to believe things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me
You're gonna be, always loved by me

Cant Even Get The Blues
I walk into the kitchen
The silverware is gone
The furniture is missing
I guess you got it all uhuh
This is where it ought to hurt
Seems like every time you leave me
You try to think of something worse
[Chorus:]
I can't even get the blues no more
I try to worry like I did before
And nothing happens when I walk the floor
So what am I supposed to do
I toss and turn but then I fall asleep
I'm going under but it's not too deep
You want to hurt me but it's just no use
I can't even get the blues
Well this time ain't no different
The sun's up in the sky
Sitting on the back porch
Clouds are rolling by
Oh this is where it ought to rain
But it doesn't really matter
To me it's all about the same
[Repeat Chorus]
(You try and hurt me)
[Repeat Chorus]

Youre The First Time Ive Thought About Leaving
I've seen you smile more than I thought you would
And I smiled back a little more than I should
And lately at night while he's sound asleep
I'm thinking things that I shouldn't think
[Chorus]
You're the first time I've thought about leaving
And I really don't know what I'll do
You're the first time I've thought about leaving him
I've never done known someone like you
Sometimes I wait when I really should go
Lord only knows what I do that for
When I get home and he holds me close
I try not to think what I'm thinking most
[Chorus]
I've never known someone like you

How Blue
How blue can you make me?
How long 'til I heal
How can I go on loving you when you're gone
How blue can I feel?
Oh, honey why did you leave me?
Ain't you got a heart left in your chest
And I swear to you that I'm dying
'Cause my mind won't let my body rest
How blue can you make me?
How long 'til I heal
How can I go on loving you when you're gone
How blue can I feel?
'Cause if I sink any lower, I'll go under
And if I cry anymore I'll go blind
Oh, Lord, there ain't no relief for this missing you grief
How long can you torture my mind
Oh, how blue can you make me?
How long 'til I heal?
How can I go on loving you when you're gone
How blue can I feel?
How can I go on loving you when you're gone?
How blue can I feel?

Somebody Should Leave
It sure gets quiet
When the kids go to bed
We sit here in the silence
Putting off what must be said
I read a book, you watch TV
As our love dies quietly
I'm so sad, I don't know what I've just read
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids and they need me
Somebody should leave
Though we hate to give in
We keep hoping somehow we might need each other again
You say goodnight and turn and face the wall
We lie here in the darkness and the tears start to fall
If it was only you and me, goodbye might come more easily
But what about those babies down the hall
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids, oh, and they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hoping, somehow, we might need each other again
Somebody should leave
Though we hate to give in
We keep hoping, somehow, we might need each other again
Oh, again

Whoevers In New England
You spend an awful lot of time in Massachusetts
Seems Like every other week you've got a meeting waiting there
Business must be booming or could something else
Be moving in the air up there
You say that it's important for our future
An executive on his way up has got to play the part
And each time duty calls you got to give it all
You've got with all your heart
But when whoever's in New England's through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know it's not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to come back to
When whoever's in New England's through with you
I hear the winter time up north can last forever
And I've been told it's beautiful to see this time of year
They say the snow can blind you 'til the world you left behind
Just disappears I hear
I've packed your bags and left them in the hallway
But before you leave again there's just one thing you outta know
When the icy wind blows through you remember that it's me
Who feels the cold most of all
But when whoever's in New England's through with you
Oh and Boston finds better things to do
Oh, you know it's not too late and you'll always have a place to come back to
When whoever's in New England's through with you

Little Rock
Well I'm married to the good life
I said I'd be a good wife
When I put on this ring
I drive a new Mercedes
I play tennis with the ladies
I buy all the finer things
But all that don't mean nothing
When you can't get a good night's loving
Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock
Well I wonder if he'll miss me
He doesn't even kiss me
When he comes home at night
He never calls me honey
But he sure loves his money
And I'm the one who pays the price
But when he finds this ring he'll see
He keeps everything but me
Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock
Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock

What Am I Gonna Do About You
The kid down the street
Mows the grass every week
The neighbor next door
Fixed the roof where it leaked
The jobs goin fine
And the bills are all paid
And everyone thinks that I'm doin okay
There's a guy down at work
He's asked me out once or twice
I haven't said yes
But I'm thinkin I might
Then on my way home
I thought I saw you walk by
If only I could get you out of mind
What in the world
Am I gonna do about you
Your memory keeps comin back
From out of the blue
Oh well I've tried and I've tried
But I still can't believe
That we're through
So tell me what in the world
Am I gonna do about you?
Went to the store
But it wasn't much fun
It doesn't take long
When you're shoppin for one
And standin in line I thought
I saw you walk in
And that's when it started all over again
What in the world....

One Promise Too Late
I would have waited forever
If I'd known that you be here
We could have shared our lives together
And held eachother close
All through the years
But I met someone before you
And my heart just couldn't wait
So no matter how much I adore you
I've got to stand behind
The promise that I made
Where were you
When I could have loved you
Where were you
When I gave my heart away
All my life
I've been dreamin of you
You came along
One promise too late
I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you
I can't have you but I never will forget you
Where were you...?

The Last One to Know
I didn't see the fire burn to ashes
I couldn't feel the winds of change
I was lost inside the passion
Blinded by the memory of a flame
I guess I should've felt it when you touched me
I should've seen it in your eyes
Well, I believed you really loved me,
Why can't I believe you said goodbye?
Oh, why is the last one to know
The first one to cry and the last to let go
Oh, why is the one left behind
The one left alone with no one to hold
The last one to know
It would be easier to face the morning
If you were holding me tonight
But you left me without a warning
Holding on to a heartache
While she's holding you tight
Tell me why is the last one to know
The first one to cry and the last to let go
Why, is the one left behind
The one left alone with no one to hold
The last one to know

Love Will Find Its Way to You
Another morning, another day in your life
Without someone there by you
You had a dream again last night
You wonder why the dream just won't come true
So what ya gonna do
Walk around with your head hung down
Maybe that's the reason you've never found
The one for you
So you've got to let your love shine through
Your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Your heart, you'll find
Somebody wants to be a part of your life
And if you just believe
And say that's what you're gonna do
One day love will find it's way to you
Yes it will
One day love will find it's way to you
Another party, and all your friends are smiles
Oh you might meet someone new
And being close would be so nice
In this life the chances are so few
So what ya gonna do
Walk around with your head hung down
Maybe that's the reason you've never found
The one for you
So you've got to let your love shine through
Your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Your heart, you'll find
Somebody wants to be a part of your life
And if you just believe
And say that's what you're gonna do
One day love will find it's way to you
Oh yes it will
One day love will find it's way to you
Don't you think you're the only one
Oh somewhere in the world
There's a lonely heart looking for someone
You've got to let your love shine through
Your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Your heart, you'll find
Somebody wants to be a part of your life
Cause your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Somebody wants to be a part of your life

I Know How He Feels
When I heard that familiar voice
My heart stopped dead in its tracks
Across the room
I could see him there
A ghost from my past
But he's too caught up to notice me
She must be his new love
I never dreamed
That it would hurt this much it's just
I know how he feels
How warm his touch is
How he feels
How soft his kiss is
And it cuts right down to the bone
Cuz I let him go
I know how he cares
How strong his love can be
When he believes it's real
Oh I've been there
I know how he feels
As long as I kept him out of sight
I kept from goin' out of my mind
Tried to believe that leavin him
Was somehow justified
But tonight there's no denying
What a love like his is worth
He once looked at me
The way he's lookin at her
What a lucky girl
I know how he feels...

New Fool at an Old Game
You sure know what you're doin
Holding me this way
And I'll go where you lead me
Anywhere you say
You've got me where you want me
So darlin please be kind
Before you take it all
And I make that final fall
You've got to keep in mind
I'm a new fool
At an old game
A kid out of school
Tryin' to find my way
I don't know the rules
So teach me how to play
I'm just a new fool
At an old game
Maybe I'm a dreamer
Or maybe I'm naive
But when you say you love me
I start to believe
That coal can turn to diamonds
And this night will never end
But if isn't so
And I cry when you go
You've got to understand that
I'm a new fool....

Cathys Clown
I want your loving more and more
I want your kisses that's for sure
I die each time
I hear the sound
They're saying here he comes
He's Cathy's clown
You know you've got to stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
And when you let her tell you lies
And you let em pass you by
You're not a man at all
She don't want your loving anymore
She don't want your kisses that's for sure
Why do you let them put you down
And let em call you Cathy's clown
When you see me shed a tear
Then you know that I'm sincere
I just think it's kinda sad
That she's treating you so bad
And I'm the one who cares
I want your loving more and more
I want your kisses that's for sure
I die each time
I hear the sound
They're saying here he comes
He's Cathy's clown
You're Cathy's clown
You're Cathy's clown

Walk On
Oh ain't life wonderful
When everything is right
But sometimes wonderful
Can fall apart sometimes
When your troubles knock you down
Pick yourself up off the ground and
[Chorus]
Walk on
Walk on
Nothing ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Oh walk on
Don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light till you find the sun
And you'll be better off in the long run
And walk on
Oh it's a heartache when love comes to an end
But even though your heart breaks
You know it's gonna mend
Keep the faith right through goodbye
And don't you ever break your stride
[x2]
Walk on
Walk on
Oh walk on
Walk on
Oh walk on

You Lie
We lie in the dark I know you're awake
The only sounds are the sounds this old house makes
But, oh how I long, I long to hear your voice
Desperate to talk, yearning to touch
Burning inside 'cause I want you so much
So I say I need you and leave you no choice
You lie you don't want to hurt me
So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
What else can I do, maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie, 'til you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie
How long until you just can't go on
And the urge to break loose is just too strong
You should let go that's what you want to do
Oh but you don't know, you don't know
If it's the right thing to do
You lie you don't want to hurt me
So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
What else can I do, maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie, 'til you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie
We lie in the dark I know you're awake
The only sounds are the sounds this old house makes
But, oh how I long, I long to hear your voice
Desperate to talk, yearning to touch
Burning inside 'cause I want you so much
So I say I need you and leave you no choice
You lie you don't want to hurt me
So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
What else can I do, maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie, 'til you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie
How long until you just can't go on
And the urge to break loose is just too strong
You should let go that's what you want to do
Oh but you don't know, you don't know
If it's the right thing to do
You lie you don't want to hurt me
So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
What else can I do, maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie, 'til you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie

Rumor Has It
I overheard a conservation your name was mentioned in
But they didn't talk about us, only her again
I didn't want to listen but I hung on every word
They said some things I wish I hadn't heard
[Chorus]
Rumor has it she has you
Rumor has it you love her too
Talk is cheap but the price is high when it's true
Rumor has it she has you
This town's so small a whisper can be heard a mile away
And people here will gossip when there's nothing else to say
I wouldn't have believed my ears but I see it in your eyes
The stories going 'round this town aren't lies
Rumor has it she has you
Rumor has it you love her too
Talk is cheap but the price is high when it's true
Rumor has it she has you
Whoa, rumor has it she has you

Love Needs A Holiday
She was circling the Holiday Inn
Just about to go 'round again
When her cell phone rang
And it was him sayin', "Room 183"
They've never done this before
But when he met her at the door
They broke out smiling 'cause they were sure
That this is what they need
She said, "Mama's got the kids"
And he said, "We got the room for the weekend"
They love their kids and their house
And that dog in the yard
Oh and their neighbors for the most part
They love each other but it's hard to be lovers
When life gets in the way
Sometimes love needs a holiday
He hung out the 'Do Not Disturb'
To shut out the rest of the world
48 hours of just him and her
You can't get this at home
She pulled the covers back and
He said, "Yeah I'm in to that"
They flopped down together and took a nap
No, you can't get this at home
They woke up in each other's arms
And that's where they spent the rest of the weekend
They love their kids and their house
And that dog in the yard
Oh and their neighbors for the most part
They love each other but it's hard to be lovers
When life gets in the way
Sometimes love needs a holiday
Room service dinner with candles and wine
A night with no homework and no baby crying
They hold each other like they used to do
He whispers, "Girl, I've missed you"
They love their kids and their house
And that dog in the yard
Oh and their neighbors for the most part
They love each other but it's hard to be lovers
When life gets in the way
Sometimes love needs a holiday, needs a holiday
He hung out the 'Do Not Disturb'
Love needs a holiday
(Love needs a holiday)
Just shut out the rest of the world
Love needs a holiday
(Love needs a holiday)

For My Broken Heart
There were no angry words at all
As we carried boxes down the hall
One by one we put them in your car
Nothing much for us to say
One last goodbye and you drove away
I watched your tail-lights
As they faded in the dark
I couldn't face the night in that lonely bed
So I laid down on the couch instead
[Chorus]
Last night I prayed the Lord my soul to keep
Then I cried myself to sleep
So sure life wouldn't go on without you
But oh this sun is blinding me
As it wakes me from the dark
I guess the world didn't stop
For my broken heart
Clocks still tickin', life goes on
Radio still plays a song
As I try to put my scattered thoughts in place
And it takes all the strength I've got
To stumble to the coffee pot
The first of many lonely mornings I've got to face
You call to see if I'm ok
Look out the window and I just say
Last night I prayed the Lord my soul to keep
Then I cried myself to sleep
So sure life wouldn't go on without you
But oh this sun is blinding me
As it wakes me from the dark
I guess the world didn't stop
For my broken heart
I guess the world ain't gonna stop
For my broken heart

Is There Life Out There
She married when she was twenty
She thought she was ready
Now she's not so sure
She thought she'd done some living
But now she's just wonderin'
What she's living for
Now she's feeling that there's something more
Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there
She's always lived for tomorrow
She's never learned how
To live for today
She's dyin' to try something foolish
Do something crazy
Or just get away
Something for herself for a change
Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there
There's a place in the sun that she's never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then
She looks out the window and wonders again
Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there
Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there

The Greatest Man I Never Knew
The greatest man I never knew lived just down the hall,
And ev'ry day we said hello but never touched at all.
He was in his paper. I was in my room.
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon?
The greatest man I never knew came home late ev'ry night,
He never had to much to say. Too much was on his mind.
I never really knew him, oh and now it seems so sad.
Ev'rything he gave to us took all he had.
Then the days turned into years, and the mem'ries to black and white.
He grew cold like an old winter wind blowing across my life.
The greatest words I never heard I guess I'll never hear.
The man I thought could never die has been dead almost a year.
Oh, he was good at bus'ness but there was bus'ness left to do.
He never said he loved me. Guess he thought I knew.

Its Your Call
It's your call, It's her
Would you rather take it in the other room
She's hangin' on and so am I
Yeah, I know all about it don't act so surprised
It's time to end this game you're playin'
She's not the only one who's waitin' on the line
It's your call
It's up to you
And I won't try to stop you if you go
But if you stay tell her goodbye
I can't take another minute
I can't stand another night
Of wondering if I even matter
It's something only you can answer
Here's the phone, It's your call
There's no easy way out this time
Cause I won't live this way
She called here to talk to you
With a message that I can't take
Oh, I've got to know if I still matter
It's somethin' only you can answer
Here's the phone, It's your call

The Heart Wont Lie
Looking back over the years
Of all the things I've always meant to say
But the words didn't come easily
So many times, through empty fears
Of all of the nights I tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering
You try to live your life from day to day (ooh)
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change (ooh)
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise (ooh)
The heart won't lie
Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio?
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me?
You try to live your life from day to day (ooh)
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change (ooh)
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise (ooh)
The heart won't lie
The heart won't lie

Does He Love You
I've known about you for a while now
When he leaves me he wears a smile now
As soon as he's away from me
In your arms is where he wants to be
But you're the one he rushes home to
You're the one he gave his name to
I never see his face in the early morning light
You have his mornings, his daytimes
And sometimes I have his nights
But does he love you (does he love you)
Like he loves me (like he loves me)
Does he think of you (does he think of you)
When he's holding me
And does he whisper (does he whisper) all of his fantasies
Does he love you (does he love you) like he's been lovin' me
But when he's with me, he says he needs me
And that he wants me, that he believes in me
And when I'm in his arms, oh he swears there's no one else
Is he deceiving me, or am I deceiving myself?
But does he love you (does he love you)
Like he loves me (like he loves me)
Does he think of you (does he think of you)
When he's holding me
And does he whisper (does he whisper) of his fantasies
Does he love you (does he love you) like he's been lovin' me
Oh I should not loose my temper
Oh I should not be ashamed
Cause I have everything to loose
And I, I have nothing to gain
But does he love you (does he love you)
Like he loves me (like he loves me)
Does he think of you (does he think of you)
When he's holding me
And does he whisper (does he whisper) of his fantasies
Does he love you (does he love you) like he's been lovin' me

Till You Love Me
I sent you roses
I warned you I would do all that I could
To show you the way that I feel
Please, don't say, I'm wasting my time
I've got nothin' but time
So I'll do all that I can to catch that ghost of a chance
The sunlight, the moonlight are beyond my control
And there are stars in the heavens that I'll never hold
But if dreams give you power
Then I'm strong enough to offer my heart
And never give up 'til you love me
'Til you love me
I looked in your eyes, so bright and so blue
And that's when I knew that you could be mine
If good things come to those who will wait
Well, I guess I can wait if that's what I have to do
Oh, it's worth it for you
The sunlight, the moonlight are beyond my control
And there are stars in the heavens that I'll never hold
But if dreams give you power
Oh, then I'm strong enough to offer my heart
And never give up 'til you love me
'Til you love me
Oh, the sunlight and the moonlight are beyond my control
And there are stars in the heavens, oh, that I'll never hold
But if dreams give you power
Oh, then I'm strong enough to offer my heart
Oh, and never give up
'Til you love me
'Til you love me
'Til you love me

The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter
She came in looking good and looking around
She's checking out every man in the room right now
Don't go telling her about right or wrong
She's been alone for way too long
Well, the heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort in the arms of a lovers fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
The heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight
She hears him say, hey, can I buy you a drink
And sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring
She knows she's dealing her a dangerous hand
The consequences of a one night stand
But the heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort in the arms of a lovers fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
The heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight
From somewhere deep inside, she tells him no
Before she starts to cry, she turns to go
Hunter, hunter
Oh, the heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort in the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
Oh, the heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight
Oh, the heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight

And Still
Thousands of people live in this town
and i had to run into him
when i saw him there on that busy street
those feelings came back again
there was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
he walked up to me looked in my eyes
and still the world stood still
i couldn't move and all i could feel
was the aching in my heart saying
i love him still
he said how have you been? its great to see you again,
your really sad your eyes i said i can't complain
oh i'm doin' fine, we talked about old times,
and all we've went through
thats when he hugged me and said i miss you
and still, the world stood still
i could move and all i could feel was
this acheing in my heart
saying i loved him still
thats when she walked up to him, he said this is my wife
i gave my best smile but i was dieing inside
he said we gotta go now
its getting late it was so good to see you
and as they walked away
and still, the world stood still
i couldn't move and all i could feel
was this acheing in my heart
saying i love him still

Ring On Her Finger Time On Her Hands
I stood before God, my family and friends
And vowed that I'd never love anyone else again
Only him
As pure a s my gown of white I stood by his side
And promised that I'd love you till the day I died
Lord, please forgive me even though I lied
'Cause you're the only one who knows just how hard I tried
I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands
The woman in my needed the warmth of a man
The gold turned cold in my wedding band
It's just a ring on your finger
When there's time on your hands
When I add up all the countless nights I cried myself to sleep
And all the broken promises you somehow failed to keep
He can't blame me
He's the one who left me too many times alone
In a three bedroom prison
I tried to make a home
My love slowly died but the fire inside still burned
And the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn
I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands
The woman in my needed the warmth of a man
The gold turned cold in my wedding band
It's just a ring on your finger
When there's time on your hands

The Fear Of Being Alone
We ordered up one more bottle of wine
You told me your story and I thought about mine
You said when you lost her you lost everything
It all started having a familiar ring
So I asked you to take me some place quiet
We wound up at the river for the rest of the night
Somewhere around the break of day
I could hear it coming from a mile away
So don't say that word
Not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone
Reckless hearts can clear a path
Wider than a hurricane's aftermath
We've both traveled down that road
Where in the name of love anything goes
Like a child in the night
With no one to hold you
And tell you everything's gonna be all right
I must admit it's been fun
But that's no reason to jump the gun
If this is real time will tell
So let me bite my tongue and remind myself

How Was I To Know
My world revolved around you
Every word was a promise I was hangin' on
Swept up inside a whirlwind
I just couldn't see the end till you were gone
I thought I would fall apart
(With) shattered dreams and a broken heart
Scramblin' in the dark
How was I to know
That I'd be ok
Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away
How was I to know
I would be this strong
I had what it takes all along
How was I to know
What I was so afraid of
Turned out to be my freedom in disguise
Now i know what I'm made of
Guess it just took some time to realize
I was blind, I couldn't tell
I put too much faith in someone else
Gave up on myself
How was I to know
That I'd be ok
Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away
How was I to know
I would be this strong
I had what it takes all along
How was I to know

If You See Him/If You See Her
If you see him
Tell him I wish him well
How am I doin'?
Well, sometimes it's hard to tell
I still miss him more than ever
But please don't say a word
If you see him
Oh, if you see him
If you see her
Tell her I'm doin' fine
And if you want to
Say that I think of her from time to time
Ask her if she ever wonders
Where we both went wrong
If you see her
If you see her
Oh, I still want her
And I still need him so
Oh, I don't know why
We let each other go
If you see her
Tell her the light's still on for her
Nothing's changed
Deep down the fire still burns for him
And even if it takes forever
Say I'll still be here
If you see him
If you see her
If you see him
If you see her

Forever Love
The first time I laid my eyes on you I knew
We'd spend this life side by side
I still feel the same though you're so far away
I swear that you'll always be my
Forever love
I promise you
Someday we'll be together
Forever love
I won't give up
No matter what
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love
Minutes and hours and years may go by
But my heart knows nothing of time
So don't cry, just keep me right there
In your dreams
And hold on to these words of mine
Forever love
I promise you
Someday we'll be together
Forever love
I won't give up
No matter what
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love
Is the road to our destiny
Nothing can change what is meant to be
Forever love
(Forever love)
Oh, I won't give up
No matter what
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love
Forever love

What Do You Say
Stuck at a red light outside and adult bookstore.
His son said, "Daddy, what are all the X's for".
As the light turned green he changed the subject fast.
He started talkin' 'bout football as the drove right past.
What do you say in a moment like this.
When you can't find the words oh to tell it like it is.
Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way.
Let's get out of here oh what do you say.
Seventeen years old she was out with her friends.
They started drinkin' at some party 'til she was three sheets to the wind.
Her momma always told her she could call no matter what.
She was cryin' on the front steps when her mom showed up.
What do you say in a moment like this.
When you can't find the words oh to tell it like it is.
Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way.
Let's get out of here oh what do you say.
Sometimes you've got to listen to the silence.
And give yourself a little time to think.
Her every breath is weaker than the last.
And lately when she sleeps she talks about the past.
Her husband knows she's tired of holdin' on.
She looks at him and says I want to go home.
What do you say in a moment like this.
When you can't find the words to tell it like it is.
Just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way.
Oh what do you say.
Just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way.
Oh what do you say.
Ooo what do you say.

I'm A Survivor
I was born three months too early
The doctor gave me thirty days
But I must have had my mama's will
And God's amazing grace
So I guess I'll keep on livin'
Even if this loves to die for
'Cause your bags are packed and I ain't cryin'
You're walking out and I'm not trying
To change your mind 'cause I was born to be
The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who ought to give up
But she's just too hard-headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor
I don't believe in self pity
It only brings you down
Maybe the queen of broken hearts
But I won't hide behind the crown
And when the deck is stacked against me
I just play a different game
My roots are planted in the past
And though my life is changing fast
Who I am is who I want to be
The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who ought to give up
But she's just too hard-headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor
Oh, I must have had my mama's will
And God's amazing grace

Somebody
At a diner down on Broadway they make small talk
When she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup
He jokes about his love life
And tells her he's about ready to give up
That's when she says I've been there before
But keep on looking because maybe who your looking for is
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody
Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a strangers face instead
Its that blue eyed girl from two floors up
Maybe she's the one
Maybe he could fall in love with
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody
Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
The moment they both missed until that day
When he saws his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why he searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waitin' on
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there
Oh somewhere out there, is somebody.
