Precious In My Eyes
I often write funny things
about my wife and friends,
but I would never hurt or slander them,
they are too precious in my eyes.
Help I will give them,
but hurt never crosses my mind,
they are too valuable to ever sacrifice.
I never like seeing anyone feeling down,
that sort of misery only causes a frown.
Love for everyone is what we need to give.
The old saying has it right
when it says live and let live.
Hearts will always flourish
under a laugh and a smile.
A blown kiss can travel mile after mile.
A hug for someone
can often save the day,
and a prayer can help
to chase the fear away.
So as I look around
at all those I cherish most
I would feel so upset
if I thought I hurt any of them.
I only joke about with
the ones I love the most.
It was just my way when I say something simple
like I love you most of all.

As Long As I Live
(Dolly Parton)
Hurt is no stranger to me
And oh how well I know misery
You've always hurt me
But I always forgive
And I'll hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
Oh it's my fault for loving you so deeply
I'd give you my love completely
I'd give you love but hurt is all you give
And I hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
For as long as I love you, there'll be pain
Though tears come and go
My love remains the same
I'll always forgive you
You know that I will
And I hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
Yes I've hurt for as long as I loved you
And I'll love you for as long as I live

A Simple Thing Like Cry
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
Dont you know I plan to spend
Every moment of my life with you
Now youre trying to tell me
That my dreams just wont come true
Thanks for giving me a million reasons why
But it hurts too bad to do
A simple thing like cry
If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt me so bad
Maybe I could
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
I could cry, cry
If it didnt hurt me
If I didnt love you
Hurt me

It’s hurt to kiss you
It’s too hurt to kiss you
Fall in love with you
It’s not true
In this moon I croon
Horrible pains are full
It’s too hurt I can’t to kiss you
I love you, too
But you didn’t to do
It’s too hurt to kiss your heart
So I felt love is in the earth
Everyday to days
I painted you in the paints
Love is on the airs
It’s to hurt to kiss your lips
It’s to hurt I can to feels
To kiss the lips, I can’t believes
The hearts must be clean
To believe love between you and me

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

Half As Much
I've been up and and down the highway
And i've seen what a man can do
To some little girl along the byway
That's why i sing this song to you
If you find your baby's gone
And you don't know where or when
You wonder, yes you wonder
If you'll ever see him again
Just remember, remember
These simple words i brought
Soon it won't hurt half as much
No it won't hurt half as much
No it won't hurt half as much as you thought
'cause i been up and down the highway
And i watch them as they pass by
Broken hearts and i wish that they'd go my way
I'd save them every little teardrop they cry
Won't you listen?
If you think you can't go on
And life ain't got it for you no more
You're waitin' every night
For him to come walkin' through that door
Just remember, remember
These simple words that i brought
Soon it won't hurt half as much
No it won't hurt half as much
No it won't hurt half as much as you thought
Well, it won't hurt half as much
No, it won't hurt half as much
Lord, it won't hurt half as much as you though
Fades
And everytime you're sad, you cry
You feel like you...

Don't Cry
Give me time
To realize my crime
Let me love and steal
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Precious kisses
Words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why
In my heart
The fires burning
Choose my color
Find a star
Precious people always tell me
That's a step
A step too far
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Words are few
I have spoken
I could waste a thousand years
Wrapped in sorrow
Words are token
Come inside and catch my tears
You've been talking but believe me
If its true
You do not know
This boy loves without a reason
I'm prepared to let you go
If its love you want from me
Then take it away
Everything is not what you see
It's over again
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry...

Carnival
Never thought it'd hurt so bad.
I just wanted to love you;
Never thought it'd hurt so bad.
Never thought it'd feel so right;
I was just thinking of you.
Never thought it'd feel so right.
It's the edge of the dawn when I look in your eyes
And I want what is ours before the light.
Don't you run from the show,
Cause I just want you to know that I love anyway,
And I will not let you go,
But you run everyday,
And I can't keep chasing you through this old
Carnival where the sun shines through.
Tell me it won't hurt.
Never thought it'd hurt so bad
Funny how the story ends.
Remember the beginning.
Funny how the story ends.
You Should never have looked so close.
I can see all your cracks
Should never have looked so close
It's the edge of the dawn when I look in your eyes
And I want what is ours before the light.
Don't you run from the show,
Cause I just want you to know that I love anyway,
And I will not let you go,
But you run everyday,
And I can't keep chasing you through this old
Carnival where the sun shines through.
Tell me it won't hurt.
Tell me it won't hurt. Tell me it won't hurt.
Tell me it won't hurt, Tell me it wont, but you run from the show
And I just want you to know that I love anyway
And I will not let you go, but you run everyday
And I can't keep chasing you through this old
Carnival where the sun shines through.
Tell me it won't hurt. Tell me it won't hurt.
I just wanted to love you.
Tell me it won't hurt.
I just wanted to love you.
Tell me... Tell me it won't hurt.

What Hurt the Most Is
What hurt the most is
That you are making me jealous by dating someone else and not me
I do everything I could to prove too you that we belong together, but
It turns out that nothing I make you give me a chance
What hurt the most is
You breaking my heart every time I tell you I like you
I just want to cry and be sad
If I know I can't have you
I can't never love anyone else, but you
I want to be with you forever
Nothing will ever make me stop loving you
So please understand how I feel and give me a second chance
I can't stand it anymore
What hurt the most is
Being around you and getting to know you so well
I pretend that I'm ok when I'm not
When I'm around you, I act like I'm ok because
I don't want you to know how I'm feeling
It's hard to deal with the pain not having you everywhere I go
It's still harder to getting up, getting dressed, and living with this regret
If you give me another chance, I can make it right this time
What hurt the most is
I didn't make the right choice that day
I just talk, smile and laugh
I rude my only chance to be with you
This is one regret that I can't never forget
If this won't work with all I'm trying to say or do to get you to be with my side
I need to let go and move on
I want to spend all my time with you before I won't never see you again
What hurt the most is
Being around you and getting to know you so well
I pretend that I'm ok when I'm not
When I'm around you, I act like I'm ok because
I don't want you to know how I'm feeling
It's hard dealing with the pain not having you everywhere I go
It's still harder getting up, getting dressed, and living with this regret
If you give me another chance, I can make it right this time
What hurt the most is

Your Love Is Bad For Me
Your love is bad for me
And yet no other lover makes me so insane
Feel so much pain
You don't belong to me
Every time i hear your voice or speak your name
I feel the same
Just like the first time we made love after so long
What can i do can't shake the feeling it's so strong
Your love is bad for me
I know that much is true
But being so bad is what makes it feel so good
Your love is bad for me
Lie awake most every night thinking of you
And what i'd do
If you were here with me
Love you till you could not take it any more
Then you'd walk out the door
But don't you know you always hurt the one you love
And though it's torture baby, i can't get enough
Sharing your love with someone else is so unkind
But i don't care if i know
Deep inside your mine
But don't you know you always hurt the one you love
And though it's torture baby, i can't get enough
Give me your kiss, give me your heart, give me your mind
I'll take whatever you can give me anytime, yeah
No, no, no
How i love you baby
Sweet baby you're bad for me
But i don't care
Can't you see
You're all i want baby... all i need
And i gotta have you
Your love is bad for me, i know
That much is true
But being so bad is what
Makes it feel so good

How Can It Hurt
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
Maybe youre just too upset inside to give it to me straight
Maybe youve become too angry and too close to crying to say anything I can understand
Or maybe youre just coming in over my head
Maybe youre just too upset inside too upset inside
How can it hurt if I dont understand
How can it hurt if I dont understand
How can it hurt if I dont understand
How can it hurt if I dont understand
Youre never gonna square with me I know so what is there to say?
Theres a million words that we could share tonight
Why do you walk away?
And I could write you off and its over with like a damaged car I cant afford to fix
But everything inside me wants to heal your pain
You wont explain
You wont explain
How can it hurt if I dont understand
How can it hurt if I dont understand
How can it hurt if I dont understand
How can it hurt if I dont understand
How can it hurt, how can it hurt
Well I dont understand
Well I dont understand
Tell me how can it hurt
Well I dont understand
Tell me how can it hurt
Well I dont understand

Time To Fear
Picture me on the edge of sadness
I was too blind to see the truth
My hearts beating fast I'm not alone
but you're not there
Friendly smiles steal a glance
But me I'm furious inside
Can I get out of here now
Everything is falling down on me
And deep inside my mind I know I love you
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my life
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my life
You say I do always wrong
So you must hurt me again
I feel so sorry
but you do not
And you're not here
I question why I left you
Ain't love when under your sway
Will I be safe in here now
Eveything is falling down on me
And deep inside my mind I know I miss you
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my live
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my live
Time is that all I really got to fear time time
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my live
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my live
Time time time time
Theres No Way
[intro]
Ooh, ooh, no way
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Said theres nothing I can do
Cuz you cant seem to get it through your head
That I really love you
Stop playing more, you know I do
I feel you
What does it take to make you see
Im right here for you
What do I have to say
Baby, will you listen to me
Theres no way
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Every other night
After we tell each other were in love
We seem to start a fight
Listen to me Im tired of being bothered
I dont mean to put you down
But my options are running out
I dont mean to cut you off
But we need to have a talk
Cuz theres no way
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Baby can you tell me why we have to fight
(I would rather not hurt you)
I just want everything to be alright
(whats the matter with me loving you? )
I just wanna live for you
The way you wanna live for me
I want every little thing
All the little things to be
Just the way they used to be
Oh tell me
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me

Sent down from heaven
To save me from drowning
It's was miracle
I thought I was died, but
I wasn't thanks to an

Who is always there and
Give me hug when I'm sad and hurt

You always want me to smile and be happy
You protected me from getting hurt and
You give me great advices
I'm so thankful to have you as a friend

Looking over me
Thank you God

I have people who care about me and
Are there to support and help me get up
I have an

I hope the
Angel
Help me by forgetting the past and
People who hurt me
Also guide me through the difficult times too
There is an
Angel
That I believe in and will always
Thank them for what they done
I wouldn't be here today
If they didn't save me, but
They did save me
There is an
Angel
Watching out for all of us, and
Protect us all too

It's Funny
It's funny how the ones who show you the most love,
Are often the ones who say it the least
It's funny how the ones who tell you they love you the most,
Are often the ones that hurt you the most
It's funny how the ones who beg for forgiveness,
Are often the ones who least deserve it
It's funny how the ones who mess everything up,
Are often the ones who make you feel guilty
It's funny how the ones who are the happiest,
Are often the ones who've known the most heartache
It's funny how those hearts can always mend themselves,
If you give them enough time and space
It's funny how this life just keeps going,
No matter how hard you may beg it to slow down.

Oh, what do I do?
Oh,
What do I do
If people do
Not want to change
For their own good?
What do I do
If people want
To fight in vain
In angry mood?
What do I do
If people love
To do those things
They should not do?
What do I do
If people try
To slander and
Much gossip too?
What do I do
If people do
Not live in peace
With fellow-men?
What do I do
If people bear
Ill-will and grudge
Against brethren?
What do I do
If people strive
To live in vice,
And not advice?
What do I do
If people will
Not share excess
With country-men?
What do I do
If people like
To live in sin
And hate, within?
What do I do
If people don’t
Amend their lives
And turn soul-wise?
What do I do
If people waste
Their precious time
In ego prime?
The things men do
And women too,
Hurt minds and hearts,
Like arrows, darts!
The things they do
Can anger God,
To give His nod
For divine rod!
Oh, will not men
Give up their pride
Or their sins hide,
In God abide?

Love Be Gone
love is deep inside
love always swings by
love knocks on your door
three times a day
love is in the air
love theres plenty to share
love is a way of life
love can't be cut with a knife
love kills and destroys
love can close and open many doors
love comes when your hurt
love comes when your mad
love comes in many ways
love comes but can be sent away
some say they don't want to be in love
but love is still there
love doesn't go away
theres going to always be
some one to love you
or some one you love
some wish there was a
love be gone.
love be gone is a mile
away waiting
for the right one to frown and say
i hate you, i don't love you
love be gone is here to stay
love be gone always wants to play

The one who laugh and the one be hurt
I will let my love
Fly from my arms
The one who laugh is me
The one be hurt also me
I will let my love
Free to reach dream
The one who laugh is me
The one be hurt also me
Nothing can be compared
With my lover’s happiness
The one who laugh is me
The one be hurt also me
Why I should doubt to choose
Or force to keep in my cage
The one who laugh is me
The one be hurt also me

Perfect Love
Theres a light that shines on
Everyone tonight
But it seems were just too blind to see
Theres a love thats so deep
We should never want
But do we really know what we need?
I never thought there would be
Someone whod mean so much to me
In my mind there was no
Such thing as perfect love
But now Im holding you tonight
And I can see that you were right
To believe there can be perfect love
You can live your whole life trying to avoid
Being hurt, like youve been hurt before
Then oneday you may wake up
And feel a love so strong
That you cant hold it back anymore
I never thought that there could be
Someone whod mean so much to me
In my mind there was no
Such thing as perfect love
But now Im holding you so tonight
And I can see that you were right
To believe there could be perfect love
Ever since you called my name
Nothings ever been the same
I want to give my heart to you
And your perfect love so true
Oh your perfect love
But now youre here with me tonight
And I can see that you were right
To believe there can be perfect love
