~* Love Like This *~
A king would trade his finest crown
For a love love like this
And warriors have laid weapons down
For a love love like this
Hearts will break a thousand times
For a love love like this
And arms will wait a thousand nights for a love
Love like this
Love may come and love may go
But here inside your arms I know
That only you will ever show me
Love like this
You and I have finally found
Love love like this
A place to lay our burdens down
In a love love like this
Hearts can speak without a sound
In a love love like this
What makes the world keep turnin' 'round
Is a love love like this

Love may come and love may go
But here inside your arms I know
That only you will ever show me
Love like this
The moon has never shown before
On a love love like this
And I have never wanted more than a love
Love like this
A love love like this
A love love like this

~* Love Me, Loving You *~
Love me, loving you
Is all I want from you
Forever and a day, is not long enough I say
To show you how much you mean to me
I love you, loving me
Hold me, holding you
And we'll always hold on to
The feelings that we share
We won't let go I swear
'Cause I'll show you how much you mean to me
I love you, loving me
Your pretty smile, it drives me wild
Something no one else can do
So take my hand and my wedding band
And tell me that you do
Now kiss me, kissing you
We're one now, we're not two
Together 'til the end
We'll always be best friends

And I'll show you how much you mean to me
I love you, loving me
Yes I'll show you how much you mean to me
I love you, loving me

~* Love of my Life *~
You are the love of my life
And you are the reason I'm alive
And baby baby baby
When I think of how you saved me
I go crazy
I've never known love like this
And it fills me with a new tenderness
And I know I know I know
You're in my heart you're in my soul
You're all I can't resist
And I need to tell you
The first time I held you
I knew you are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you

And you are the love of my life
All the joy and tears that I cry
And baby baby baby
You don't have to say a word
I see it in your eyes
As we stand together
I promise forever
'Til the day that I die
You are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you
You are the love of my life
You are the reason I'm alive

~* Man! I Feel Like A Woman! *~
Let's go girls
C'mon
I'm going out tonight--I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise--really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout
No inhibitions--make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only wanna have a good time
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and...
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy--forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts--short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild--yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action--feel the attraction
Color my hair--do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free--yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

The girls need a break--tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance--we only wanna dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and...
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy--forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts--short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild--yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action--feel the attraction
Color my hair--do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free--yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
Oh yeah,
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy--forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts--short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild--yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action--feel the attraction
Color my hair--do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free--yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
I get totally crazy
Can you feel it
Come, come, come on baby
I feel like a woman

~* Meant To Be *~
Well first I missed my plane
So I wound up on your flight
Then we got stuck in Dallas-Ft. Worth
Half the night
And the only vacant seat
You could find at gate twenty-nine
Was one next to mine
Call it fate
Destiny
Call it luck you ended up with me
But some things are meant to be
Coincidence
Circumstance
Or something bigger that's just out of our hands
Oh some things are meant to be
You said Atlanta was your home
Well I happened to live there too
I'd just broken up with someone and so had you
And when you said for everyone
There is someone they're meant to find
I knew I'd found mine

Call it fate
Destiny
Call it luck you ended up with me
But some things are meant to be
Coincidence
Circumstance
Or something bigger that's just out of our hands
Oh some things are meant to be
Coincidence
Circumstance
Or something bigger that's just out of our hands
Oh some things are meant to be
Baby some things are meant to be

~* Measure of a Man *~
I may never buy me a big house
A Cadillac, cruising with the top down
That ain’t the way I am
I judge a man by the gold on the inside
I’m not fooled by the glitter on the outside
That ain’t the measure of a man
It ain’t how far you go
It ain’t how much you make
Son, it’s what you give
Not what you take
It’s being strong and true
To those countin' on you
It’s lendin’ a hand, makin’ a stand
That’s the measure of a man
I give an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay
I’ll stand behind every word I say
I’ll seal a deal with a shake of a hand
If I’m a few rungs short of the top of the ladder
When I meet my maker what will it matter
That ain’t the measure of a man

It ain’t how far you go
It ain’t how much you make
Son, it’s what you give
Not what you take
It’s being strong and true
To those countin' on you
It’s lendin’ a hand, makin’ a stand
That’s the measure of a man
It’s lendin’ a hand, makin’ a stand
That’s the measure of a man
Oh that’s the measure of a man
That’s the measure of a man
That’s the measure of a man

~* Meet in the Middle *~
It was seven hundred fence posts from your place to ours
Neither one of us was old enough to drive a car
Sometimes it was raining, sometimes it would shine
We wore out that gravel road between your house and mine
I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'Neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'Cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle
It's been seven years tomorrow since we said our vows
Under that old pine tree, you ought to see it now
Standing in the back yard reminding me and you
That if we don't see eye to eye there's something we can do

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'Neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'Cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle
Babe I love the way we work it out
That's what love's about
I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'Neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'Cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'Neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'Cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle
I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'Neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'Cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle

~* No One Needs to Know *~
Am I dreamin' or stupid?
I think I've been hit by Cupid
But no one needs to know right now
I met a tall, dark and handsome man
And I've been busy makin' big plans
But no one needs to know right now
I got my heart set, my feet wet
And he don't even know it yet
But no one needs to know right now
I'll tell him someday some way somehow
But I'm gonna keep it a secret for now
I want bells to ring, a choir to sing
The white dress the guests the cake the car the whole darn thing
But no one needs to know right now
I'll tell him someday some way somehow
But I'm gonna keep it a secret for now
We'll have a little girl a little boy
A little Benji we call Leroy
But no one needs to now right now

And I'm not lonely anymore at night
And he don't know only he can make it right
And I'm not lonely anymore at night
And he don't know only he can make it right
I'm not dreamin' or stupid
But boy have I been hit by Cupid
But no one needs to know right now
No one needs to know right now
No one needs to know right now

~* Nobody Knows *~

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
But these four walls close in more every day
And I'm dying inside and nobody knows it
But me
Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
And I'm crying inside and nobody knows it
But me
Why didn't I say the things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just a-tumblin' down
I can see it so clearly but you're nowhere around
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me
No one knows

How blue can I get, you could ask my heart
Just like a jugsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say just how I feel
A million years from now, you know, I'll be loving you still
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me
Nobody
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
Nobody knows it but me

~* Now That I Found You *~
How can I believe that my
Heart would find someone like you
You see the real me
No in-betweens, I had nowhere to hide
You took away the walls around me
Made me feel safe to share my truth
(Chorus)
I see the heavens open
A heart that was once broken
Is holding nothing back
Now that I found you
You hold me like a prayer
You touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough
To love you true
Now that I found you
Now that I found....

You believe we're meant to be
Our chemistry will last forever
And through the years we'll see some tears
We'll conquer fears, together we'll grow
Looking in your eyes they tell me
I'll no longer have to feel alone
(Repeat Chorus)

You, you see the real me
You believe in me
(Repeat Chorus)

~* Oh How She Shines *~
Darling I have a true confession
I ran into an old flame today
You wouldn't like the way our conversation
Turned to how we let each other slip away
I was reminded of a half forgotten feeling
One I shared with her so long ago
Since honesty is one thing we believe in
Let me tell you something you should know
Oh how she shines
Shines a light on you
And in that light I see
Just how much you mean to me
Oh how she shines
There was a time when she was all that mattered
Long before I gave my heart to you
But standing there only inches from her
She touched my hand and suddenly I knew
If there was a time I ever doubted
What I'd do if she walked through my door
Could I turn around and leave without her
With all my heart now I can say for sure

Oh how she shines
Shines a light on you
And in that light I see
Just how much you mean to me
Oh how she shines
Oh how she shines

~* One Boy, One Girl *~
He finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend
When she said "there's someone you should meet"
At a crowded restaurant way cross town
He waited impatiently
When she walked in their eyes met and they both stared
And right there and then everyone else disappeared, but
One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl

In no time at all they were standing there
In the front of a little church
Among their friends and family
Repeating those sacred words
Preacher said, "son kiss your bride",
And he raised her veil
Like they night they met time just stood still
One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl
He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned
"congratulations, twins"
One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl

~* One Day Left to Live *~
I rolled out of bed grabbed a cup of caffeine this morning
Walked out the door didn't even kiss you goodbye
Hurrying to work, a car pulled out no warnin'
In an instant it all flashed before my eyes
And I'm gonna live the rest of my life
Like I got one day left to live
One night left to love you
Startin' right now I'm startin' all over
Doin' what I should do
Should this be my last, or I've got a hundred years
From this day on I'm gonna live my life
Like I got one day left to live
What a close call
Could of been all she wrote me
Think I'll turn this car around and head back home
There's a reason to be learned in this it showed me
Take nothing for granted in a second it can all be gone

But I'm gonna live the rest of my life
Like I got one day left to live
One night left to love you
Startin' right now I'm startin' all over
Doin' what I should do
Should this be my last, or I've got a hundred years
From this day on I'm gonna live my life
Like I got one day left to live
One night left to love you
Startin' right now I'm startin' all over
Doin' what I should do
Should this be my last, or I've got a hundred years
From this day on I'm gonna live my life
Like I got one day left to live

~* One Honest Heart *~
Times are tough on an honest heart
People don't follow through with what they start
Lyin' eyes looking at me up and down
Makin' talk that's only cheap
Makin' promises they never keep
But I keep lookin' for what I still haven't found
One honest heart
That I can believe in
Two lovin' arms that will never let me go
One good man that I can count on
It shouldn't be so hard
Finding one honest heart
Now I've been close a time or two
I thought I saw my dream comin' true
But I was just livin' in a fairy tale
I won't play the fool again
I won't play a game that I can't win
But I still have faith and I keep tellin' myself
There's...

One honest heart
That I can believe in
Two lovin' arms that will never let me go
One good man that I can count on
It shouldn't be so hard
Finding one honest heart
I don't think I'm asking too much
Just once in my life I want to be touched by...
One honest heart
That I can believe in
Two lovin' arms that will never let me go
One good man that I can count on
It shouldn't be so hard (It shouldn't be so hard)
It shouldn't be so hard
Finding one honest heart
One good man
One honest heart
One good man one honest heart

~* One More Heartache *~
She woke up this morning and she knew
They were through
And she was leavin'
She packed up her love and her memories
Now she sees
Her heart was breakin' even
Now she's headed down that highway
She's never coming back again
She'll go one more time
Down that lonesome road
Till she finds that turn off
That leads back home
Then she'll dust her dreams off
And dry her eyes
She'll leave one more heartache
One more heartache, one more heartache behind

She had a love when she was young
It was the one
That set her heart to dreamin'
Since then she's never been the same
Through the pain
She gave up on believin'
Now she's headed down that highway
She's never coming back again
She'll go one more time
Down that lonesome road
Till she finds that turn off
That leads back home
Then she'll dust her dreams off
And dry her eyes
She'll leave one more heartache
One more heartache, one more heartache behind

She'll go one more time
Down that lonesome road
Till she finds that turn off
That leads back home
Then she'll dust her dreams off
And dry her eyes
She'll leave one more heartache
One more heartache, one more heartache behind
She'll leave one more heartache behind

~* One of These Days *~

We used to chase that boy home from school

We called him freckle faced red headed fool

He was different, he wasn't cool like me

Sticks and stones didn't break any bones

But we never left well enough alone

One day he ran away from home you see

And I passed him as he walked away

And in his eyes I heard him say

One of these days you're gonna love me

You'll sit down by yourself and think

Of all the times you pushed and shoved me

And what good friends we might have been

And then you're gonna sigh a little

And maybe even cry a little

But one of these days you're gonna love me

Patty Sue was a small town beauty

I took one look at her and had to pull her to me

Lord knows she should have seen right through me

When I promised her the world

But at 17 you only want one thing

I left her standing with my high school ring

Innocent tears in a pourin' rain

As I walked away

And I still see her in my dreams

And to this day she's whispering

One of these days you're gonna love me

You'll sit down by yourself and think

About the time you turned from me

And what good friends we might have been

And then you're gonna sigh a little

And maybe even cry a little

But one of these days, you're gonna love me

Now everybody stands up

The congregation sings

It's a song of sweet forgiveness

And as the chorus rings

The wind blows clear my memory

The pages start to turn

And suddenly I'm singing

The moment that I learn

One of these days I'm gonna love me

And feel the joy of sweet release

One of these days I'll rise above me

And at last I'll find some peace

And then I'm gonna smile a little

And maybe even laugh a little

But one of these days...

I'm gonna love me

~* Ordinary People *~
I was standin' at the checkout by a rack of magazines
Cover story told about another heartbroke beauty queen
How she was gettin' over just one more sad affair
And as I waited for my change, you know it hit me then and there
That ordinary people have extraordinary love
A million little miracles far beneath the stars above
The greatest gift that I could ever wish for you and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be
Then I heard some famous people had an anniversary
Five long years together, it was Hollywood history
Now my grandma and grandpa never made no printed page
But they took the love of fifty-seven years right to the grave
'Cause ordinary people have extraordinary love
A million little miracles far beneath the stars above
The greatest gift that I could ever wish for you and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be
Now we all like to watch and by the time the movie ends
Who of us hasn't wished to be a little more like them
But I bet every time two stars are breaking up
That they wish somehow, someway they were a little more like us

'Cause ordinary people have extraordinary love
A million little miracles far beneath the stars above
The greatest gift that I could ever wish for you and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be
Oh the greatest gift that I could ever wish for you and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be

~* Please *~
There ain't no easy way to start this conversation
So I'll just say what's on my mind
Once our hearts both shared a common destination
To love until the end of time
Lately, we've been drifting further from each other
Someone's gotta take the wheel
I won't wait until it's too late to recover...so
Let me tell you how I feel
(Chorus)
I'll do anything if it'll bring our hearts together
I'll stand and fight or get down on my knees
If we can fix what's wrong and go on in love forever
Baby, I'll be beggin' please...please
I'm strong enough to handle any situation
But honey true love has no pride...so
I can say without a moments hesitation
Before I'll let you say goodbye
(Repeat Chorus)

You know your love's my one true weakness
When it comes to you I'm helpless

(Repeat Chorus)

~* Rebecca Lynn *~
Rebecca Lynn grew up in Carolina
Half a mile from Tucker Cherry's farm
A quiet girl with green eyes full of fire
Her daddy's pride and all her mama's charm
Rebecca Lynn became my heart's desire
Long about the start of second grade
Mrs. Rosenbloom let me sit beside her
So we passed notes and after school we played (singin')
Ring around the rosie, pocket full of dreams and posies
Patty-cake, a Bakers's Man, Tag You're It, Kick the Can,
And I think I hear my mama calling gotta go
Man I loved her so
High School days, me and Becky learnin'
What it really means to be in love
Give and take, holdin' back for heaven's sake
And fightin' for a week, then makin' up
I said Please Becky, won't you marry me
Prom night in my car out by the curb
She was so surprised, first she laughed and then she cried
And somewhere in my heart I'm sure I heard

Ring around the rosie, pocket full of dreams and posies
Patty-cake, a Bakers's Man, Tag You're It, Kick the Can,
Mama flashed the porch light for me gotta go
Man I loved her so
When love is wrong, it dies, and that's the way it goes
But when it's right, you know love grows
Laura Jean was born in Tennessee
That's a common little miracle, I know
But for me and Becky Lynn, she's the dream that started when
We fell in love so many years ago (singin')
Ring around the rosie, pocket full of dreams and posies
Patty-cake, a Bakers's Man, Tag You're It, Kick the Can,
And I think I hear your mama calling gotta go
Oh man, I love you so

~* Refried Dreams *~
Last Monday mornin' you left with no warnin'
I started goin' insane
Well I headed South out of Del Rio, Texas
With a hell of a load on my brain I kept on goin' without even knowin'
How much your love really means Now I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
I'm down here in Mexico sick as a dog
My head is poundin' in this border town fog
Down to my last dime and comin' apart at the seams
I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
This picture ain't pretty I'm ragged and dirty
And wonderin' what I'm doin' here
Shootin' tequila wantin' to kill ya
And wishin' to God you were near
So full of your memory but feelin' so empty
I've run out of my self-esteem
Now I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams

I'm down here in Mexico sick as a dog
My head is poundin' in this border town fog
Down to my last dime and comin' apart at the seams
I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
I'm down here in Mexico sick as a dog
My head is poundin' in this border town fog
Down to my last dime and comin' apart at the seams
I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
Oh I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams

~* Safe in the Arms of Love *~
My heart's not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of livin' solitaire
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high-wire act I know
Someday I'll find a net below
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
I want a heart to be forever mine
Want eyes to see me satisfied
Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry
Some day I'm gonna be safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

~* Same Place *~
Each night you show up about a quarter to two
And in my dreams you always come true
And for awhile it's just like old times
But before I know it you say goodbye
But I'll meet you same place, same time
I'll be waitin' at the front door in the back of my mind
When that old sun goes down, I'll lie in wait
For you to hold me in your arms
And love me like yesterday

I've learned to face and live with the fact
That in real life you're not coming back
Guess I'll never know why you said goodbye
My only consolation is I know that I
Will meet you same place, same time
I'll be waitin' at the front door in the back of my mind
When that old sun goes down, I'll lie in wait
For you to hold me in your arms
And love me like yesterday
Same place, same time
I'll be waitin' at the front door in the back of my mind
When that old sun goes down, I'll lie in wait
For you to hold me in your arms
And love me like yesterday

~* Shameless *~
Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you
I'll do anything you want me to
I'll do anything at all
And I'm standing here for all the world to see
Oh baby that's what's left of me
Don't have very far to fall
You know now I'm not a man who's ever been
Insecure about the world I've been livin' in
I don't break easy I have my pride
But if you need to be satisfied
I'm shameless, oh honey I don't have a prayer
Every time I see you standin' there
I go down upon my knees
And I'm changin' swore I'd never compromise
Oh but you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please
You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist what I couldn't turn down
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you

I have never let anything have this much control over me
I work too hard to call my life my own
And I've made myself a world and it's worked so perfectly
But it's your world now I can't refuse
I've never had so much to lose
Oh I'm shameless
You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
I've never lost anything I've ever missed
But I've never been in love like this
It's out of my hands
I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
I don't want it anyhow
So I got to let it go
Oh I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be
You make a total fool of me
I just wanted you to know
Oh I'm shameless
I just wanted you to know
Oh I'm shameless
Oh I'm down on my knees...shameless
