He Was In Heaven Before He Died
Theres a rainbow of babies
Draped over the graveyard
Where all the dead sailors
Wait for their brides
And the cold bitter snow
Has strangled each grassblade
Where the salt from their tears
Washed out with the tide
Chorus
And I smiled on the wabash
The last time I passed it
Yes I gave her a wink
From the passenger side
And my foot fell asleep
As I swallowed my candy
Knowing he was in heaven
Before he died
Now the harbors on fire
With the dreams and desires
Of a thousand young poets
Who failed cause they tried
For a rhyme without reason
Floats down to the bottom
Where the scavengers eat em
And wash in with the tide
Repeat chorus:
The sun can play tricks
With your eyes on the highway
The moon can lay sideways
Till the ocean stands still
But a person cant tell
His best friend he loves him
Till time has stopped breathing
Youre alone on the hill
Repeat chorus:

Only Time Will Tell
Youre leaving now
Its in your eyes
Theres no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along
I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that I would have know by now
{chorus}
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
{only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell
{only time will tell}
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die
{chorus}
{repeat first verse}
{repeat second verse}
{chorus}
{only time will tell}
Youre on your own
Inside your room
{only time will tell}
Youre claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now
{only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell...

Killing The Blues
Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes
Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had

Not Gon Cry
(vs.1)
While all the time that I was loving you
You were busy loving yourself
I would stop breathing if you told me to
Now youre busy loving someone else
Eleven years out of my life
Besides the kids I have nothing to show
Wasted my years a fool of a wife
I shoulda have left your ass a long time ago
(chorus)
Well Im not gon cry,
Im not gon cry,
Im not gon shed no tears
No, Im not gon cry,
Its not the time
Cuz youre not worth my tears
Well Im not gon cry,
Im not gon cry,
Im not gon shed no tears
No, Im not gon cry,
Its not the time,
Cuz youre not worth my tears
(vs.2)
I was your lover and your secretary
Working every day of the week
Was at the job when no one else was there
Helping you get on your feet
Eleven years of sacrifice
And you can leave at the drop of a dime
Swallowed my fears, stood by your side
I shoulda left your ass a thousand times
(chorus)
I know there are no guarantees
In love you take your chances
But somehow it seems unfair to me
Look at the circumstances
Through sickness and health till death do us part
Those were the words that we said from our hearts
So now when you say that youre leaving me
I dont get that part
(repeat vs.2)

Im The One Who Loves You

Im the one who loves you
Im the one who loves you
Im the one who loves you
Im the one who loves you
Little girl again you are blue
Another fellow has gone and left you
I see youve come back to me
Your best frind
To tell another tragic story again
And once more you look into my eyes
And one more time you ought to realize
Repeat chorus
I must confess youre not to be blamed
For being caught in those boys vicious games
This time I wont let you go back
Never again, my dear, in fact
Im gonna stop the blueness
In you
Also confess what my heart
Wants me to

Just once more you look in my eyes
And one more time you ought to realize

Ring On Her Finger, Time On Her Hands
(don goodman, pam rose, mary ann kennedy)
I stood before god, my family and friends
And vowed that Id never love anyone else again
Only him
As pure as my gown of white I stood by his side
And promised that Id love him till the day I died
Lord, please forgive me even though I lied
cause youre the only one who knows just how hard I tried
Chorus:
I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands
The woman in me needed the warmth of a man
The gold turned cold in my wedding band
Its just a ring on your finger
When theres 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 cant blame me
Hes 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

Everytime
In a little while Verse One
I'll be on my way
Got no words to express
What I need to say
Every time I think about the first time Chorus
We said hello
You know when you know
You never let go
It's just not my style Verse Two
Something I can't do
After all this time
I'm scared of losing you
(Repeat chorus)
Is there anything Verse Three
You could let me know
Surely you could find me
A reason not to go

So dizzy and blue

Let me one more time Verse Five
Look into your eyes
I remember when
There were no goodbyes

Dont You Believe Him
(n. stuckey)
He can give you a reason to live if he wants to
He can make you forget other loves that you had known
He has two lips and two arms that thrill you as very few do
And if you want him to give them to you just ask and he will
Chorus:
Dont you believe him
I did and soon hell be leaving me
No dont believe him if you do
Then soon hell be leaving you too
He can tell you a lie you believe if he has to
And youll trust me till time and the tide both stand still
He can cry on your shoulder and swear to the things that he wont do
But be careful for when youre not looking he will

Soul Motion
Ive got the fever, poison in my veins
My mind aint working right
I know the answer, the way to ease this pain
Only got myself to fight
I can see clearly but choose to be blind
A slave to desire
Holding me, scolding me, changing your mind
Youre like playing with fire
Chorus:
I need you
I want to stay on this soul motin ride
There is no danger when youre here by my side
Given some distance, just a little time
Right and wrong seems clear
But my sense of reason is nothing but unkind
Every time that youre near
Over and over I say to myself
Ooh, shes only playing
Ten thousand reasons to find someone else
Still I hear myself saying
Repeat chorus
Im out here on the edge
And I know whats in store
It should be over and done, just let go and run
But Ive tasted too much
Nothings the same anymore

Sweet Dreams
(graham russell)
This is the time when you need a friend
You just need someone near
Im not looking forward to the night I will spend
Thinking of you when youre not here
How many times will I think about the things
Id like to do
Always denied the right to live my life the way I want
I want to share it with you
(chorus)
Close your eyes I want to ride the skies
In my sweet dreams
Close your eyes I want to see you tonight
In my sweet dreams
Ill think of your kiss as the days roll by
And Ill write the words you love
And what I cant say in a letter
Will just have to wait till I get home
Ooh theres not much time to tell you half the things I should
Only that Im so glad I fell in love with you
And Id do it again if I could
(chorus)
Close your eyes I want to ride the skies
In my sweet dreams
Close your eyes I want to see you tonight
In my sweet dreams
(repeat chorus)
Sleep like a child resting deep
You dont know what you give me I keep
For these moments alone

Close your eyes I want to ride the skies
In my sweet dreams
Close your eyes I want to see you tonight

Till Love Comes Again

White light shadows gather around my door
They find me dreaming all alone once more
Memories come around to haunt my sleepless sounds
Nows the time I must be strong
I believe it wont be long
Chorus:
Till love comes again
To end these lonely nights
Till love comes again
To drive these tears I cry
Its darkest just before the dawn
And Ill just keep holding on
Till then
Till love comes again
Somewhere someone feels the way I do
And like me they dream of the love thats true
One day Ill look into his eyes I know the moments right
Until then Ill just wait
No matter how long it might take

Oh until then

Wait A Little While
Heres a sweet september morning, theres the sense of autumn on the rise
He steps into the wind and sadly sighs
Why does it always seem to be, theres a cold december wind in front of me?
The more he fills his empty evenings
The less he feels that theres a chance to find
Something that can bring a peace of mind
Is there a place where you can go?
A little something you should know to turn the tide to your favor?
Chorus:
Wait a little while to welcome what youre after
Give it the time to find its way to you
And soon as you no longer try, youll turn and find it standing by your side
Come and get it, when you let it, itll come to you
(instrumental break)
Chorus (with staring in your eyes)
When I run short on inspiration, I best recall what Ive known all along
n I remember sweet septembers song, there never really has to be
A cold and bitter wind in front of me anymore
Chorus (with staring in your eyes)
Just forget it and wait a little while, while, while
Wait a little while, everything will come to you in time
Wait a little while - everything will come to you in time
Wait a little while - every little things gonna come to you in time
Wait a little while - everything will come to you in time
Wait a little while - everything will come to you in time
Wait a little while

Its happened before, I just reject it.

Something on my finger, shining so brightly

One Man
Its a peaceful thing to know that freedom as a rule belongs to me
Theres something very wrong when the color of a man is all you see
After all this time how can a single voice explain
Any reason for the pain we all have seen
Its not a dream
Chorus:
One man stood tall
And faced the devil with his back to the wall
And took one step closer to heaven above
So he took a stand and walked where no one else would dare to even try
It was the only way
If not for bravery, the soul would surely die
And right before my eyes he gave his life unselfishly
So that all the fathers children could be free
Like you and me
Repeat chorus
Before his work is done
Weve got to put an end to this game of choosing sides
I want us to be one
And I wont let it go till its over
Im here waiting

Im waiting, waiting

Lifetime Of Dreams
From the first day... I envisioned myself with you
Its so hard to wait... but with you it was easy to do
Somewhere in time...
I knew I would find you here with every passing moment
I see forever so clear
Part of me was lost without you
You are where I found my faith
Feels like love is here to stay...
Chorus:
When I look in your eyes baby
I see a lifetime of dreams come true
And I want you to say, that you feel the same way too
The stars in your eyes tell me
All my tomorrows will wait for you
Youre all of my prayers answers
My one saving grace is you...
In another life... I believed that I loved you then,
If lightning strikes twice, we are destined together again
We dont have to make a promise, we were always meant to be
Its written in the way you look at me... I see
Repeat chorus
Love moves at the speed of light
Takes years to get it right
But weve got till the end of time...
I can see.... I can see... you and me, forever
Youre the one woman that can make me stay
My one and only saving grace
Repeat chorus
I can see... I can see
You and me, forever
I can see... I can see
You and me, forever
