I was something that lay under the sun and felt it, like the pumpkins, and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy. Perhaps we feel like that when we die and become a part of something entire, whether it is sun and air, or goodness and knowledge. At any rate, that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great.

Sure Know Somethin'
I've been up and down, I've been all around
I was mystified, almost terrified
But late at night i still hear you call my name
I've been on my own, I've been all alone
I was hypnotized, I felt paralyzed
But late at night I still need you just the same, just the same
I've been a gambler but I'm nobody's fool
And I sure know somethin', sure know somethin'
You showed me things they never tought me in school
And I sure know somethin', sure know somethin'
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know somethin', sure know somethin' aha
I was seventeen, you were just a dream
I was mesmerized, I felt scared inside
You broke my heart and I still can feel the pain
I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt
I've been starry eyed, never satisfied
'Cause late at night I still need you just the same, just the same
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
And I sure know somethin', sure know somethin'
You showed me things they never taught me in school
Sure know somethin', sure know somethin'
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know something, aha
Ahhh
I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt
I've been starry eyed, never satisfied
But late at night I still need you just the same, just the same
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
And I sure know somethin', sure know somethin'
You showed me things they never taught me in school
Sure know somethin', sure know somethin'
No one can make me feel the way that you do
Sure know somethin', sure know somethin'
No one can tell me 'till I hear it from you
Sure know somethin', sure know somethin'

Highly Evolved
I'm feelin happy
So highly evolved
My times a riddle that'll never be solved
Dreamin for somethin
Reachin for somethin
Just waitin for the sun to carry me in
If you feel low
You can buy love
From a payphone
I don't feel low
My brother Bill
He work for the market
Life is an arrow now and he is the target
Dreamin for somethin
Reachin for somethin
Just waitin for the sun to carry me in
If you feel low
You can buy love
From a payphone
I don't feel love
Highly evolved
I don't feel low

Alright
The gold verandah in the dark has gone
Down to the metal man.
No better time to leave the ground
And maybe try to understand.
You gotta hold on to somethin that you believe,
Hold on to somethin that makes you feel alright.
And through the darkest times of your life
You always tried to be the one,
And now the times have made you wonder
If you ever knew what was goin on.
You gotta hold on to somethin that you believe,
Hold on to somethin that makes you feel alright....
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
(background) alright ... alright ... alright
No use thinkin about what you aint got,
Just makes you bitter.
And as you speak, everything that you say
Goes out on the big transmitter.
You gotta hold on to somethin that you believe,
Hold on to somethin that makes you feel alright....
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
You gotta hold on to somethin that you believe,
Hold on to somethin that makes you feel alright....
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

Part Of Life, That is
Few get to sit in the midst of it.
Part of life that is.
With the giving of opinion and the giving of lip.
Part of life that is.
Few get to sit in the midst of it.
Part of life that is.
With the giving of opinion and the giving of lip.
Part of life that is.
Stuck with sticking emotions felt in my gut...
Unable to abandon them.
Or give them up...
Had been a place I'd been,
Back then.
With no one but myself...
And faith,
To help me slowly break away...
Of a hold I had on them to mend.
Few get to sit in the midst of it.
Part of life that is.
With the giving of opinion and the giving of lip.
Part of life that is.
I have learned to feel grief deeply,
Where it is felt.
Let it visit.
And then from it to leave!
Not to forget the process...
But to breathe!
Remembering...
With an agony upon my letting go,
Knowing what I felt was painful...
It was also,
Part of life!
A part of life,
That is!
Few get to sit in the midst of it.
Part of life that is.
With the giving of opinion and the giving of lip.
Part of life that is.
Few get to sit in the midst of it.
Part of life that is.
With the giving of opinion and the giving of lip.
Part of life that is.
Few get to sit in the midst of it.
Part of life that is.
With the giving of opinion and the giving of lip.
Part of life that is.

Somethin About
This song was first released on the its about time album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Theres somethin about the ocean rising up to meet the shoreline
Somethin about a river the way it runs to meet the sea
Theres somethin about a rainfall and its like the gift of living
Theres somethin about that water that makes me sing
Oh somethin about the mountains rising right straight up to heaven
And somethin about a canyon in the shade of a cottonwood tree
Somethin about the desert in the afterglow of evening
Theres somethin about the west that makes me sing
Theres somethin about the way you love me baby
Theres somethin about the way your lips meet mine
Theres somethin about the way you like to touch me
It really turns me on and makes my little light shine
Theres somethin about the way you love me baby
Theres somethin about the way your lips meet mine
Theres somethin about the way you like to touch me
It really turns me on and makes my little light shine
Theres somethin about the forest in the latter days of august
Theres somethin about the country on the very first day of springtime
Theres somethin about a wheatfield, oh you know I love the prairie
Theres somethin about the land that makes me sing

I Feel Like Im Forgetting Something
(lee ann womack/jason sellers/wynn varbie)
Grabbed my keys, door is locked
I turned off the coffee pot
Runnin late as I back out of the drive
I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Feelin good, great big smile
First time in a long long while
You aint been the first thing on my mind
But I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Maybe my heart is finally healin
Could it be Im gettin over you?
Baby Im better now and feelin
Been livin life without your lovin
Your memorys down to nearly nothin
And I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Theres a guy at work, hes cute for sure
Ive never noticed him before
Somethins had me so preoccupied
Yeah but I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Maybe my heart is finally healin
Could it be Im gettin over you?
Baby Im better now and feelin
Been livin life without your lovin
Your memorys down to nearly nothin
And I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Im a livin life without your lovin
Your memorys down to nearly nothin
And I feel like Im forgettin somethin

Together Again (I Love the Way...)
vs.1 I love the way your blue eyes sparkle,
I love the way you smile.
I love the way your personality bubbles,
Man, it sure has been a while.
I love the way you look at me,
And you are reelin' me in.
Don't you think it'd be a good idea,
To take a chance, and let the fun begin.
(Chorus)
Whoa, you're somethin' special,
Whoa, you're everything to me.
Without you, I don't know what I'd do;
I don't know how life would be.
Whoa, you're so funny/flirty.
Whoa, that's worth somethin'.
If I could possibly pull myself together,
We'd be happy in the end;
I can't believe this is happening,
We're together again!
vs.2 I had been missin' your smile,
I had been missin' those beautiful blue eyes.
I had been missin' your soothin' voice,
And right here, we reunite.
Some things haven't really changed much,
Except the way I feel about you.
And standin' right here by your side,
I sure hope you feel the same way, too!
(Chorus)
(instrumental)
vs.3 I've had a wonderful time
Hangin' out with you.
It's felt like the good ol' days,
Where there was nothin' new.
Now, I need to know,
Are you ready for the big news?
I hope you're prepared, 'cause...
I love you...do you feel this, too? !
(Chorus) x 2
Oooh, we're really...
Oooh, we're finally...
Whoa, we're together...
Again!

Something I Need
Like the hammer of love the moment that it hits ya
Like the hair of a dog the mornin after it bit ya
Like the rough edge of love when it cuts to the heart
You just gotta let it bleed
You ain't just somethin I want
No... You got somethin I need
Somethin I need.
Like a bath when your dirty, a drink when your dry
Like the last cigarette before you give up for life
You know I'm dyin of hunger, in desperate straits
I know I gotta habit to feed
You ain't just somethin I want
No... You got somethin I need.
Something I need.
Got you in my sights
We're gonna put it right up the middle
Cause I can do you right
You know I want it more than a little
It's what I need...need ..need
Like a black cup of coffee when you been slammin all night
They say I need to be quittin but I don't take no advice
You got me walkin sideways like crab in the sand
My eyes fixed in a permanent bead
You ain't just somethin I want
No... You got somethin I need
Something I need.

It's not about you
I feel happy not cause I’m with you, you just happens to be there.
I feel happy not thinking of you, the thought of you just happens to cross my mind.
I feel happy not for loving you, but to know that I’m able to love.
I feel happy not for saying goodbye, but for the memories I collected.
I feel happy not to have you far from me, but to know that we still care for each other even in distance.
I feel happy cause I just feel like it.

I Almost Wish My Heart Was Breaking
I feel fine today,
Somethings wrong,
Im happy?
This feeling is strange,
I feel like vomiting,
Why am I happy,
Ive cryed so much,
I almost wish my heart was breaking,
I feel odd,
Never felt so happy before in my life,
I want my heart to break,
It has been broken so long,
It pains me to be happy,
I almost wish my heart was breaking,

Somethng To Believe In
Hmm I especially enjoyed that one. lets see whats next.
I believe that realitys gone
Disillusions real
I believe that realitys gone
And theres nothing to feel
If you take these things
Things that we hold dear
Hands of crime is all youll find
Chorus
Give me somethin
Somethin to believe in
Somethin to believe in
Somethin to believe in
Somethin to believe in
I believe in the changin of the guard
Put our feet on the ground
See how it is in your own backyard
Everything breaks down
Do you accept what you are told
Without even thinking
Throw it all youll make your own
Chorus
Where they lead
You will follow
Well I guess thats just the way it goes
And if you go away
Youll be doing what they say
And if youve got a life
Youll be seeing that its right
If you take home anything
Let it be your own two feet
The more single you become
The better off youll be

Please
Please tell me that you love me.
Please tell me that it's true.
Please do not forsake me,
for then I'll feel a fool.
For the years I felt for you,
somethin tested tried and true.
For you to break it would be mean and cruel.
So please now tell me that you'll stay,
if at least for one more day.
Tell me now if you please, t
hat you love me and it's not a tease.
True love is not a game.
To say so would be truly lame.
So I say now with all my heart.
Please tell me you'll never depart.
Please say now with all your heart,
that with me you've found a brand new start,
and from me you could never part.
The games are over now you see.
Now will live in ecstacy.

After The Love Has Gone
David foster, jay graydon & bill champlin
For awhile to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew
And our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Evry night somethin right
Would invite us to begin the dance
Somethin happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Somethin happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh oh oh afterthe love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
For awhile to love each other with all
We would ever need
Love was strong for so long
Never knew that what was
Wrong oh baby wasnt right
We tried to find what we had
Till sadness was all we shared
We were scared this affair would lead our love into
Somethin happened along the way
Yesterday was all we had
Somethin happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad
Somethin happened along the way
Oh yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh oh oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Oh oh oh oh oh oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Oh woh woh
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Woh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found

Am I?
Am I a dreamer whose dream came true?
I must be for I found you.
Am I a winner in ways of the heart?
I must be for I found the part
that makes me happy and makes me win
in everything I do.
The part I found is the happiness
that's missing when I'm not with you.
Am I a finder of all things sweet?
I must be for sugar to me is you.
You are the elixer that stirs up my being
and makes me feel brand new.
Am I a lover who's quite content?
I must be for I've never felt the urge
to stray from your sight for someone new.
For me it's always been you.
Am I a collector who's kept many thoughts?
I must be for I can remember all about you,
the way that you walk and talk and feel
and made my love stay true.

At Least, Everybody's Happy
I want you to be happy
Because if you happy
I will be happy too
I want you to feel happy
Because if you happy
I will feel peaceful
I want your happiness
Because if you happy
I won't need anything else
I want to see you happy
Because if you happy
I will not be forced to see you grieving
I want you to know happiness
Because if you happy
I will not disturb only by your sorrow
I want to hear that you're happy
Because if you happy
I should not listen to your unhappy story
I want you to find happiness
Because if you happy
I will not be chased by constant nightmare
I want you have a touch of happiness
Because if you happy
I could rip your ugly sad face with smile
I want to give you happiness
Because if you happy
I could take you from the darkness
I want you to taste happiness
Because if you happy
I must not swallow the bitterness
I want you realize that you have a right to be happy
Because if you happy
I won't be drowned in regret because ignorance

You Give Me Something
You give me somethin' i can depend upon
Just like the sun after the rain has gone
We're living in unusual times
The picture's changing everyday
It's hard to know which way to turn
There's a minefield whichever way
I see people runnin' everywhere now
All gettin' nowhere fast
I'm so glad i have something to believe in
Our love is built to last
You give me somethin' i can depend upon
Just like the sun after the rain has gone
So many times you've saved my life
I don't count 'em anymore
But i remember everyone
And i'm just glad you're not keepin' score
I feel like i'm guided by an angel
And i know just what it's worth
I never wonder if the grass is any greener
My heaven's here on earth
You give me somethin' i can depend upon
Something so deep i know i can't go wrong
I don't need to worry, you're
Everything i need
And i know my satisfaction's gauranteed
You give me somethin' i can depend upon
Just like the sun after the rain has gone
You give me somethin' i can depend upon
Something so deep i know where i belong

I Am Happy
I am really Happy
Do you know why?
Cause my days are shining
With you always there by my side.
I am really Happy
Do you know why?
Cause I really can feel
How deep is your love towards me.
I am really Happy
Do you know why?
Cause you are the perfect guy
Who understands me very well
Now, I am totally Happy
And you've already know why
Because I have you
Who had become part of my life
Keeping you in my heart
Thinking of you in each time
Never put you away from my mind
Oh Honey, I wish you can see how happy am I..

Pressure To Be Someone I'm Not
i may not truely know you,
but you make me want to be,
a better me,
i know i deserve better,
i just didn't want to leave the confort,
of being somebody,
other than i know,
we haven't talked long,
but i felt that you been more real,
than anybody in my life,
you listen to what i have to say,
you understand kinda of what i'm going through,
you show me that it's okay,
to let a certain part of me shine,
the part some ppl take for granted,
as i open up,
i'm being the real me that some don't accept,
they can't understand the pain,
and the struggles i go through,
day after day just to appear happy,
but deep down,
i'm not truely happy,
i'm pleasing ppl just to feel loved,
i let them control me to a certain point,
until i realized they took me off a path,
the path of life,
that has more meaning than the path,
that they had me on,
i don't want to just settle for good,
i want to be great,
it may not happen tomorrow,
but it will happen somewhere down the line,
i'm just me and that all i can be,
i just wish ppl will see me for who i am,
not who they want to turn me into.

The Waiting
Oh baby dont it feel like heaven right now
Dont it feel like somethin from a dream
Yeah Ive never known nothing quite like this
Dont it feel like tonight might never be again
We know better than to try and pretend
Baby no one could have ever told me bout this
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Well yeah I might have chased a couple of women around
All it ever got me was down
Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I feel right now
Baby youre the only one thats ever known how
To make me wanna live like I wanna live now
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more ca rd
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Dont let it kill you baby, dont let it get to you
Dont let em kill you baby, dont let em get to you
Ill be your breathin heart, Ill be your cryin fool
Dont let this go to far, dont let it get to you
