Heaven Is One Step Away
By eric clapton
We searched all through the night.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
I knew something wasnt right.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
And they say heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
And then there came the dawn:
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
I just had to carry on.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
Chorus
We didnt leave till a quarter to three.
All your friends, they were laughing at me.
I dont get it, I dont understand;
Who is that man holding your hand?
First verse
Chorus
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.

Just Couldnt Wait
I miss her face, but the girl left seven years ago.
Guess I never shouldve let her go.
Thats how I feel because I love her so.
But Im afraid that she will never know.
She just couldnt wait, she said she couldnt wait til some day.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til some day, til some day.
Oh, tell me now, where do the broken-hearted go from here.
You missed her love and now youre steering clear.
I aint afraid of nothin but my fear.
The fear that she might see this rollin tear.
She just couldnt wait, she said she couldnt wait til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
Oh she couldnt wait til sunday no, til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she just couldnt wait.
You know she just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til sunday, til sunday.
Oh, oh...

I Just Couldnt Say No
Written by randy owen, teddy gentry, and greg fowler
Youve got me achin more than I should
My heart is breakin, oh dont it feel good
cause I know for certain, were magic in love
Youve got me hurtin, cause I cant get enough
I just couldnt say no even though I should
Even if I did, wonder if you could
I just couldnt say no when your eyes say yes, yes
I just cant say no, Ive tried my best
The way you tease me makes me want you more
You purr like a kitten but I hear you roar
Your body language is talkin to me
Right here in the darkness, its so plain to see
I just couldnt say no even though I should
Even if I did, wonder if you could
I just couldnt say no, no, when your eyes say yes, yes
I just cant say no, Ive tried my best, I just couldnt say no
I just couldnt say no, no, when your eyes say yes, yes
I just cant say no, Ive tried my best
I just couldnt say no, Ive tried my best
I just couldnt say no

Hero
Hidden track on some versions of no rest for the wicked
I dont want to be a hero
I dont ever want to let you down
No I dont want to let you down
I can try to take you higher
But I dont want to wear your broken crown
You know it brings me down
Dont think youll ever understand me
I dont even understand me
Dont have the power to anoint you
And I dont want to disappoint the fools no more
The fools no more
I couldnt answer all your questions
And if youre lost I couldnt find the way
I couldnt find your way
You know youll have to face the music
You change your tune, you dont know what to play
So dont you run away
Everybodys talkin crazy
So think I am a ____ maybe
I dont want to hear about it
Dont want to have to scream and shout it
Fools no more
The fools no more
So I dont want to be a hero
Dont want to sit upon your crippled thrown
Ive got a life of my own
I am not your destination
Or a road thats gonna lead you home
So baby please dont go
Please dont go
Please dont go
Please dont go...

Shame
What we learned here is love tastes bitter
When its gone
Pass yourself forget the light, things look
Dirty when its on
Funny how it comes to pass, that all the good slips away
And theres no one around you can remember being good to
You
(chorus 1)
Shame, shouldnt try you, couldnt step by you
And open up more
Shame(3x)
What we lost here is something better left alone
Second steps have been forgotten, will you tell me how
They go
Set yourself, situate, like a fool try again
Theres no one around you can remember being good, for you
So
(chorus 2)
Shame shouldnt try you, couldnt step by you
And open up more
Shame(3x)
Shame shouldnt try you, couldnt step by you
And open up more
Shame(3x)
We never thought wed get so troubled
We could never think that much
It should never get this bad
So let the wind blow ya, across the big floor
But theres no one around who can tell us what were here
For
Funny in a certain light, how we all look the same
And theres no one in life who can remember
Ever stood
For you, so

Heart Away
(robin wilson)
Heres a little something that I brought here for you
It aint much but it might just do
Fairly serious could hardly say
That I couldnt give my heart away
I couldnt give my heart away
Its never enough to feel and say
Throw my promises away
Several things that I could do
But I couldnt give my heart to you
I couldnt give my heart to you
Smokes on the table the matches are lost
Theres room in the back of the bar
Fairly serious could hardly say
That I couldnt give my heart away
I couldnt give my heart away
Aw, its not really serious but I should prove
That I dont mean what I might not do
Not that you wanted it anyway
But I couldnt give my heart away
I couldnt give my heart away...

Someday
Dont want to live in another world
Dont want to dream of another girl
Thats the way it was meant to be
I couldnt sleep through the lonely night
I just cried till the morning
Its not the way it was meant to be
Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love my shine on you
Someday you may find the one
You didnt leave me, you ran away
Couldnt face what you had to say
Its not the way it was meant to be
Now you can live in your other world
Me, Ive found me another girl
And thats the way it was meant to be
When I dream, I dream of one world
But I know theres no such place
If I could ever find that one girl
In my world, in my world

Blood Red Tears
Lighten up, give it up
I see a chance to make it up
Theres a price for every day
Youve just thrown away
I am all I ever was
Didnt change the way I was
Get a grip, button it
Cool down, hypocrite
Couldnt you find her? examine your head
Heres a reminder, blood red tears were shed
Didnt you need her? examine your head
Will you remember? blood red tears were shed
You dispose, I oppose
Couldnt you resist a go
You applaud your reward
I sit here alone
You agree to comfort me
Every day I try to leave
End of feud, your attitude
Worn there on your sleeve
Couldnt you find her? examine your head
Heres a reminder, blood red tears were shed
Didnt you need her? examine your head
Will you remember? blood red tears were shed
Couldnt you find her? examine your head
Heres a reminder, blood red tears were shed
Didnt you need her? examine your head
Will you remember? blood red tears were shed
They tell me to go, I lie that I know, he cries so unkindly
Couldnt you find her? examine your head
Heres a reminder, blood red tears were shed
Didnt you need her? examine your head
Will you remember? blood red tears were shed

All The Kings Horses
All the kings horse and all the kings men
They couldnt put my broken heart back together again.
I woke up this mornin that this is what I found.
You had gone and left me,
Any you never even made a farewell sound.
All the kings horse and all the kings men
They couldnt put my broken heart back together again.
I asked my friends about you and this is what they said,
She can live without you,
Shes gonna find a man with money instead.
All the kings horse and all the kings men
They couldnt put my broken heart back together again.
Someday you will know, the meaning of a love thats true.
But when you find out I wont be around to share it with you.
All the kings horse and all the kings men
They couldnt put my broken heart back together again.
All the kings horse and all the kings men
They couldnt put my broken heart back together again.

What If We Give It Away?
On the outside underneath the wall
All the money couldnt buy
Youre mistaken no ones standing there
For the record no one tried
Oh I try to
What if we give it away?
Overlooking with a hollow eye
Whats pretending is it right
Eye for order a hand for whats in line
Couldnt follow couldnt write
And our life does fine here
Stitch it on your tie here
Heres the trailer tom
A year has come and gone
Were not moving was it right
Take the order sew it on your tie
We couldnt follow couldnt try

Were Almost There
No matter how hard
The task may seem
Dont give up our plans
Dont give up our dreams
No broken bridges
Can turn us around
Cause what were searchin for
Will soon be found
Refrain
Cause were almost there
Just one more step
(cause were almost there)
Just one more step
(just one more step)
Dont give up
cause were almost all almost there
(cause were almost there)
(look at the lovers)
Look at the lonely lovers
That didnt make it
Lifes long hard climb
(lifes long hard climb)
They just couldnt take it
(they just couldnt take it)
Dont let it happen to me and you
Hold on together, darlin
Well make it through
Darlin, keep on reachin out for me
Keep on reachin, do it for me
Do it for me, cause baby
Refrain
(cause were almost there)
(were almost there)
(cause were almost there)
Were so close

A life so sweet
Cant afford to waste it
(cant afford to waste it)
Need to feel your hand
Slippin from mine?
Just hold on tighter now, darlin
Keep on tryin
Refrain
Baby, do it for me, do it do it baby

Just one more step

Juste one more step
Cause were almost there
Weve come to far
To turn around
Ooh!!
Keep on reachin
For higher ground
Weve had our ups and weve had our downs
Let nothin in the world darlin
Turn us around
Cause were almost there
Were almost there
Were almost there
Everything were lookin for
Were almost there
Keep on reachin out for me
Cause were almost there darlin
Were almost there
Were almost there darlin
Were almost there

You Couldnt Be Cuter
You couldnt be cuter
Plus that
You couldnt be smarter
Plus that
Intelligent face
You have a disgrace-
Ful charm
For me
You couldnt be keener
You look so fresh from the cleaner
You are the little grand slam
Ill take to my fam-
Ily
My ma will show you an album of me thatll bore you to tears
And youll attract all the relatives we have dodged for years and years
And what will they tell me?
Exactly, what will they tell me
Lets say you couldnt be nicer
Couldnt be sweeter
Couldnt be better
Couldnt be smoother
Couldnt be cuter, baby, than you are
My ma will show you an album of me thatll bore you to tears
And youll attract all the relatives we have dodged for years and years
And what will they tell me?
I know just what they will tell me
Theyll say you couldnt be nicer
Couldnt be sweeter
Couldnt be better
Couldnt be smoother
Couldnt be cuter, baby, than you are

Her Poem
The Stars that shine
The moon that glows
You still inspire the rhyme
And the feeling that never goes
Life keeps us apart
But we find our way back
You stole my heart
When, I dont know, I lost track
Why did you let me leave?
Why didnt you try to stop me
I just couldnt believe
The pain I gained that you couldnt see
I saw you again
The feelings came back rushed
I couldnt remember the pain
But relished how we touched
I'll never forget
Its something I cant do
Nor will I regret
What I've done with you
No matter what we do
No matter where we go
I'll always love you
Its a promise you will always know
That will never change
No matter how long
The distance between us may change
But what I feel for you will never feel wrong
Thank You For Loving Me
Its hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
Theres no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
Well leave the world outside
All Ive got to give to you
Are these five words when i
Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldnt see
For parting my lips
When I couldnt breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The skys a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, youd make believe
That you believed my lies
Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldnt see
For parting my lips
When I couldnt breathe
Thank you for loving me
You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me
Solo
Lock the doors
Well leave the world outside
All Ive got to give to you
Are these five words when i
Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldnt see
You parted my lips
When I couldnt breathe
Thank you for loving me
When I couldnt fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldnt breathe
Thank you for loving me

Baby Step Back
Now it looks to me like the same old place
In the sky it looks like rain
The same old town with the same old streets
The address has not change
You can find me there
With the door shut tight
And the one wish that remains
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
No you know I dont write no bad checks
I have no wish to repent
Ive seen a few
But whatever I do
I dont cause no accidents
Whiskey and wine help me pass the time
I dont leave no evidence
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
Still I dont kneel down
I was born to fight
So youd best leave me alone
Maybe Ill get much more than I need
Or much less than I should own
Last of all let me say it again
Either step up or step on
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
Baby step back baby step back
Either step up or step back
Baby walk back baby walk back
Either walk on or walk back
Baby step back ...

Your Gone
God gave me one heart
but its broken
god gave me two eyes
but i wish i couldnt see
god gave me to feet
i wish i could just leave
god gave me two hands
but i wish i couldnt feel
god gave me one brain
but i wish i couldnt think
god gave me my memories
but i wish i couldnt remeber
god gave me you
but i wish i never wouldve lost you
god took you away
and i wish you were still here
god gave me life
when i wish i didnt have it
god gave me all these things but the only one i wanted
he took away

Killing Time
Who is counting sleepless nights
Who is counting letters I meant to write
I said who is counting at all
If you are
I look pretty small
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time
You went searching for me in the night sky
And when I burned away you wondered why
Well Ill tell you babe I could not bear to stall
I fell too fast I fell too far
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time
Big big fishes in little ponds
Ive seen them walk around with magic wands
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time
There aint no magician hidden inside of me
So no matter what you hear I hope you see
That just when Im trying to be tall
Thats when I end up looking pretty small
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time
No matter what I do
(and you know I will burn)
If I couldnt be call you mine
(like a star in the sky)
If I couldnt be with you
(all Id be doing is)
Id just be killing time
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time

I Wouldnt Know
(marc beeson, robert byrne, mike mcguire)
Everyone I see these days still asks me about you.
I guess they got so used to us together
They assume that everythings ok and then I have to say...
Chorus
I wouldnt know. I havent seen him.
I couldnt say its been awhile.
I havent thought about him lately.
So I wouldnt know.
Im getting tired of people askin.
Why cant they just leave me alone.
I couldnt care, I couldnt say, I wouldnt know.
I dont get out anymore to our old stompin grounds.
cause some old friend is bound to ask me
Why youre not around.
Well I just stay away so I dont have to say...

Thought I Couldnt Dance
Stand back, and give me room
And listen to that beat
I got the music in my soul
And the rhythm in my feet
When I hear the music,
You wont catch me standing still
And I wont miss a beat
I never have and I never will
And you thought I couldnt dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
I can dance to anything
That any band can play
Ive got old-fashioned values
But Im pretty up to date
And I know all the latest hits
On the radio
You dont have to join me
Stand back and watch my show
And you thought I couldnt dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
Thought I couldnt dance
Hey, watch me prance
Lets make romance
Thought I couldnt dance
You gotta take a chance
If youre gonna learn to dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
Theres a lot of closet dancers
Just dyin to come out
They dance alone inside their rooms
With the music way up loud
And I know you thought I couldnt dance
But I guess I sure fooled you
It just goes to show you never know
Whos wearing dancin shoes
And you thought I couldnt dance
Im full of surprises
And you thought I couldnt dance
Its too late now
I cant slow down...cant slow down
Oh, feel the heat
From these dancin feet... cant slow down
And you thought I couldnt dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
Repeat...

Love Is On The Run
Just because its raining here
It doesnt mean the sun isnt shining
Somewhere else for someone
You have loved
But whos not near you anymore
When your love is on the run
Dont fall apart at whats begun
Its just the healing process
Of your heart
When your dream has lost its cause
Dont waste your time in closing doors
Youll be the last to know
When love has gone
Love is on the run
Love is on the run
Love is on the run
Love is on the run from me
Love is on the run
Love is on the run
Love is on the run from me
Couldnt find the words to say I love you
Couldnt fight the hurt of holding on
Couldnt hope
Couldnt dream
Couldnt see tomorrow
With out your love
I cant go on
Love is on the run
Love is on the run
Love is on the run
Love is on the run from me
When your love is on the run
Dont fall apart at whats begun
Its just the healing process
Of your heart
When your dream has lost its cause
Dont waste your time in closing doors
Youll be the last to know
When love has gone
Love is on the run
Love is on the run
Love is on the run from me
