If I Told You Today [song ]
[ in tune with the old song
'Have I Told You Lately That I love You' ]
If I told you today
That I still need you by
Would you still have to
Know all the reasons why
[chorus]
[ If I told you today
That I still love you
Would you turn your back
And just say goodbye]
If I told you today
You'll always be in my heart
Would you still insist
That we must part
If I told you today
My heart is breaking in two
Would you turn around
And say you love me too
[repeat chorus]
[ If I told you today
That I still love you
Would you turn your back
And just say goodbye]
If I told you today
That you're special to me
Could you open your heart
So you could really see
If I told you today
That you're my angel girl
And each kiss from you
sends my heart in a whirl
[repeat chorus]
[ If I told you today
That I still love you
Would you turn your back
And just say goodbye]

Today! !
Today the sun was shine less
Today the moon was mood less
Today the birds were wing less
Today as the sun rose, they told me
Today as I woke
They told me
Last night I’ve lost my voice they echoed me
Today the mountains are height less
Today the clock was time less
Today the sky was wind less
Today my hands were workless
Today as the sun boiled, they told me
Today as I spoiled
They told me
Last morning I’ve lost my hands they assured me
Today the world was sightless
Today the room was lightless
Today the voices were figureless
Today my eyes were imageless
Today as the night dived, they told me
Today as I defined
They told me
Last afternoon I’ve lost my eyes they cursed me
Today the era was soundless
Today the room was noise less
Today the things were strike less
Today my ears were voice less
Today as the dawn fell, they told me
Today as I felt
They told me
Last evening I’ve lost my ears they pitted me
Last night I was voiceless
Last night I was hand less
Last night I was eyes less
Last night I was ears less
And now today I feel
That they’ll tell me
That I’ve lost, they’ll yell me
Lost a heartbeat
And now is grave less
Left in open far godless
Unmentioned they say expressionless.

I Got An Email Today
I got an email today
It said an old friend of mine
Had died today
God had drawn the line
And his weary body
Was finally ready to cross
His family is at a loss
But just maybe
His spirit is ageless
I got an email today
It made me think of tomorrow
And to reflect back at the time borrowed
What would you do
If the doc told you
Your time has grown short
Get your life in order
And say your goodbye's
To your husband or wife
Say your goodbye's
To your kids
When they were your life
I got an email today
It told me life is too short
Too short to sit back to waste

Should Have Never Told Me
You should have never told me
That you love me
You should have never told me, told me, told me
That you care
Ever since that day I saw your lovely face
You were on my mind
I knew that one day I would make you love me
It was just a matter of time
Every night and every day, girl
Im thinking of you
Girl, I cant believe youre mine
Way you kiss, youre right on time
Should have never told me
That you love me
You should have never told me, told me, told me
That you care
If by chance I owned the whole world
Id give it to you
All Im trying to say
Love you through and through
Girl, lets stay together for life
cause you are my sugar and spice
Should have never told me
That you love me
You should have never told me, told me, told me
That you care
Naw, baby
Oh, baby
Should have never told me
That you love me
Should have never told me, told me, told me
That you care
Should have never told me
That you love me
Should have never told me, told me, told me

Some Of My Lies Are True
Say you wanna be a friend of mine
See me all the time
You don't care what i do
But it all sounds the same to me
Hey, can't you see
It's just like i told you
I know you think that i've
Been stringing you along
And that i've told you a few, but
(chorus)
Sooner or later when you say i love you
You're gonna realize that
Some of my lies are true
I never told you that i was the one
Said it just for fun
You know, you knew it too
So why so much on the telephone
I'm never home
It's just like i told you
Because it's real the way you used to make me feel
It makes it so hard to say
But nothing can change the way i feel today
Don't you see that
Sooner or later when you say i love you
Your gonna
Realize that some of my lies are true
(repeat chorus x 2)
Because it's real the way you used to make me feel
It makes it so hard to say but
Nothing can change the way i feel today
Don't you see that
(repeat chorus x 3)

Not Today
(feat. Eve)
This is another one of those heartbreak hotel joints for the ladies
Why won't u grow up & be a man someday
I can't believe that you're still playing silly games
Now why do I put up w/ all this child's play
Now if your word is all you have
Then u ain't worth a damn thing
[Chorus:]
Promises you told me every day
That you made you never ever kept
By me I really want to believe
But not today, not today, not today, not today
You're the worst
I can't even depend on u
U say a lot of good things
But something else u always do
Be a man of your word
Try to love something other than u
But now u can be on your way
Cause I don't want you to stay
[Eve:]
Promises bout our house
Bout the kids
Lifestyle we would live
Who the f**k u really is
In my face
All the time
Spittin' line after line
Broke down my wall and u got in my mind
You's a fake shoulda known
All the signs I was wrong
Believed what I saw
And your cover was blown
Breakup, leave
Make up, please
You's a magician all them tricks up your sleeve
Had me for a minute
I was in it
U played good
But I'mma get u
Gotta get it
So I make moves
And I'mma leave you where u at dog, chill
Go back to square one
Wait for something real
Selfish nigga
Could have helped you nigga
Usually know betta but I felt you nigga
I guess getting in my head was a part of the plan
Cause in reality the only thing you giving me is
Promises you told me every day
That you made you never ever kept
By me I really want to believe
But not today, not today, not today, not today
Don't let him waste your time girl
He's only telling lies girl
And when he apologizes (and he will)
Don't be believing that man
Cause he gon' do it again
Promises you told me every day
That you made you never ever kept
By me I really want to believe
But not today, not today, not today, not today

Ill Wind
The wind told me you’re leaving today
With voice so harsh it laid trees bare
Again he said you’re leaving today
Hissed through the vines his ill tidings
You can’t leave today my love
Not when the bougainvilleas frolic
Oh no, not today my love
Not with orchids in festive glee
Even in the morrow you cannot go
For the fruits will be in harvest then
Oh no, not in the morrow you cannot go
For the arid sod awaits your benediction
The wind told me you’re leaving today
Absurd! I said to this malignant tattle
The wind insisted that you’re leaving today
Ill wind begone, was my incensed outcry
Hello-good Bye
Today u saif hello
but now i wonder
when will you say
good bye.
Today you told me
you loved me
but now i wonder
how
long will that last
Today i knew it would come
you said good bye
and now i lay here crying
Today you told me you hated me
and i knew you wouldnt
love me forever
So now i lay here
crying myself to sleep
because i let you in and fell to
fast now im the one hurt not you

Better than Candy
'No candy today.'
I had to tell her
as every day I told her
while passing melted
snow cones that stained
the sidewalk I could not
by her better shoes to
walk on. Not today.
Today we barely have
what we really needed
yesterday. Today is
months behind and
four years old.
'No candy.', I told
her as I kissed her.
'Better than candy.'
she said of my kiss.
Better than candy.

I Told You So - Carrie Underwood
Suppose I called you up tonight,
And told you that I love you,
And suppose I said I wanna come back home.
And suppose I cried and said I think
I finally learned my lesson, and I'm
Tired of spendin' all my time alone.
If I told you that I realized
You're all I ever wanted,
And it's killin' me to be so far away.
Would you tell me that you love me, too,
And would we cry together,
Or would you simply laugh at me and say...
(Chorus)
I told you so, oh, I told you so,
I told you someday you'd come
Crawlin' back and askin' me to take you in.
I told you so, but you had to go.
Now, I've found somebody new,
And you will never break
My heart in two again.
If I got down on my knees, and told you I was yours forever,
Would you get down on yours, too,
And take my hand?
Would we get that old-time feelin',
Would we laugh and talk for hours,
The way we did when our love first began?
Would you tell me that you've missed me, too,
And that you've been so lonely,
And you've waited for the day that I returned?
And we'd live and love forever,
And that I'm your one and only,
Or would you say the table's finally turned?
And would you say...
(Chorus)
Now, I've found somebody new,
And you will never break
My heart in two again.

Today My World Slipped Away
We made it final today
I gave you all I had, you made your get away
All the love we once made
Turned to memories today
I left the courtroom
And went straight to the church
I hit my knees and told God how much I hurt
Theres nothing left of my heart
Its going to be so hard to make a new start
(chorus)
Cause today my world slipped away
We buried the plans that we made
And tonight Im alone and afraid
Cause today my world slipped away
All my friends say Ill make it alright
Ill recover and start a new life
But thatll be so hard to do
Cause livin aint worth livin without you
(repeat chorus)
Cause today my world slipped away

Ive Just Told Mama Goodbye
Ive just told mama goodbye
Recorded by hank williams, sr.
Words and music by curley kinsey and sunshine slim sweet
[d] each year on [a7] mothers [d] day
The rose I [g] wore was [d] red
But [g] today Im saying [d] my first prayer
Mamas lying on her [a7] dying [d] bed.
[d] Ive just told [a7] mama good-[d] bye
Mothers day has [g] turned to [d] night
Like the [g] flowers in may, she [d] withered away
And my red rose is [a7] turning [d] white.
This is the dreaded hour
We all must face someday
Yet theres consolation in my heart
She will bloom in the masters bouquet.
Her time has come to go
And theres nothing I can do
Only hold her hand and say goodbye
Mamas day with her children is through.
Ive just told mama goodbye
And knelt beside her bed
I heard her say, Ill meet you someday,
Where the white roses turn to red.

But a fresh new day is today
It is a unique day today
It is wide open today
All the answers for our questions has today
Let us dream today
Let us laugh today
Let us share our love today
Let us express our greatness today
Let us trade many a yesterday for today
Let us perform our tasks today
Let us make it a magnificent today
Let us thank God for giving life today
Let us thank God for seeing His creations today
Let us love most about today
A golden day is today
For it is a fact today

I Told You So
Verse 1
Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I want to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And Im tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized youre all I ever wanted
And its killing me to be so far away
Would you tell my that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say...
Chorus
I told you so, I told you so
I told you some day youd come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now Ive found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again
Verse 2
If I got down on my knees
And told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old-time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that youve missed me too
And that youve been so lonely
And youve waited for the day that I returned
And wed live and love forever
And that Im your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned
And would you say...

Thats What You Told Me
Thats what you told me baby
Thats what you told me baby
Thats what you told me baby
You drive me crazy
I thought I was the one
When we were together
You would take me to
Another place and time that I could feel free
You were all that I was searching for
Bridge:
Thats just when i
I thought I could lean on you for life
I thought that the sun would always shine
But you took my dreams away
I remember the lies that you told me baby
Chorus:
(one) you told me you love me you need me
(two) you told me you never deceive me
(three) you told me youd always be true
(four)you told me were through, thats what you told me
Thats what you told me baby
Thats what you told me
Tell me was it fun taking my love for granted
Now Im not the one
Everything we used to share has up and gone
I dont need to tell you, you were wrong
(bridge)
(chorus)
Thats what you told me baby
Thats what you told me baby
Thats what you told me baby
You drive me crazy (x2)
Thats what you told me, girl tell me no lie
Do you want to fly super high, super dooper high
No mistakes when Im with you
Know exactly what I wanna do
Lay you down and pursue me
Im super fly, cos Im super high
When Im by your side if you like girl, tell me if you like
One, if you wanna
Two, if youre gonna
Three, time to jive
Four, five bring it live

I Love You So I Told You A Lie
Everytime I hear your name you know
I wonder why you wanted to go
I said no you couldn't come along for the ride
I said hey, I want outta here and nobody taggin behind
{chorus
Don'tcha know I love you so I told you a lie
I love you so I told you a lie when I told you goodbye
A family life and a lovin wife just ain't my kinda scene
Well when I'm all alone, when the nights are cold
I get to thinkin I was kinda mean
We coulda had a good thing but I never wanted to try

You know I told you a lie

I get to thinkin I was kinda mean
We coulda had a good thing but I never wanted to try

You know I told you a lie when I told you goodbye
Don'tcha know, I love you so I
Don'tcha know, I love you so I told you
Don'tcha know, I love you so I told you a lie

I loved you so I told you a lie (2)
Loved you so, loved you so

Loved you so I told you a lie

I Sent My Child To School Today
I sent my child to school today
With his little lunch box
When he came home he said his friend
Had gotten the chickenpox,
I sent my child to school today
And asked him what he learned
He told me about firemen
They taught him how not to get burned,
I sent my child to school today
He said, 'Do you know what they taught me? '
He told me they taught him numbers
As well as his ABC’s,
I sent my child to school today
A smile on his face
I gave him a kiss and a hug
And said, 'See ya funny face! ',
I sent my child to school today
His smile bright and wide
But an older child brought in a gun
How did he get it inside? ,
I sent my child to school today
As in every day
But the child with the gun started shooting
The reason? No one could say,
I buried my child after school today
All I can do is cry
I lost my child at school today
And nobody can tell me why.

I Met Her Today
(words & music by robertson - blair)
I told you that some day
If you kept on being untrue
Somebody else would come along
And release me from you
Youll be glad to know now
Your fickle heart
Can have its own way
For it finally happened
Ive met her today
I used to think I just couldnt live
A day without you
In spite of the thousand doubts and tears
That you put me through
All at once I dont care as much for you
Im sorry to say
For now theres another
I met her today
How I treasured each smile, each kiss
You gave to me now and then
Well, you neednt be kind to me now
Oh no, not ever again
Just when the last bit of pride in me was gone
Someone heard me pray
And sent me my angel
I met her today
I met her today

How Could You
We started dating when i told you i felt the same as you.
I was afraid at first to tell you.
Now I understand why I didn't want to tell you in the first place.
If I hadn't I wouldn't feel this way.
Yesterday you said 'I Love You' so I wrote it in my diary.
Now you are saying goodbye to me.
How could you hurt me like this?
You filled me with happiness.
Then you ripped it away.
How could you love me before but not today?
My wretched life is just a waste,
So maybe i'll end it today.
After all love i'll never find.
Because when I think I do I'm left with nothing but tears in my eyes.

Just for today...
Just for today I will start my day the right way
Just for today I will pray on my knees
Just for today I will be thankful for all my treasures
Just for today I will lean more into His understanding.
Just for today I will be confidant and share my heart
Just for today I will not be afraid
Just for today I will Love myself unconditionally
just for today I will extend grace to all I know.
Just for today I will be BOLD and Courageous
Just for today I will share my hopes and dreams
Just for today I will listen to others as well...
and just for today I will help others succeed.
Just for today I will accept myself for who I am
Just for today I will work on my gifts...and
Just for today I will extend a hand to a fellow man
Just for today I will know God put me on this earth to Give.
