| ~* To Feel That Way At All *~ |
| He
brings her flowers, they talk for hours But he never really says what's in his heart The way he needs her, the way he wants her It's a miracle to feel that way at all Oh, I can't tear myself away From where the rose petals fall Down the path to yesterday I was lucky to feel that way at all The way he learned it, the way she turned it Beyond his wildest dreams to have earned it It was exciting, everything riding On whether that one star would keep on shining Oh, I can't tear myself away From where the rose petals fall Down the path to yesterday I was lucky to feel that way at all Oh, I can't tear myself away From where the rose petals fall Down the path to yesterday I was lucky to feel that way at all The way he needs her The way he wants her It's a miracle to feel that way at all |

| ~* 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 There's nothin' left of my heart It's going to be so hard to make a new start 'Cause today my world slipped away We buried the plans that we made And tonight I'm alone and afraid 'Cause today my world slipped away All my friends say I'll make it alright I'll recover and start a new life But that'll be so hard to do 'Cause livin' ain't worth livin' without you 'Cause today my world slipped away We buried the plans that we made And tonight I'm alone and afraid 'Cause today my world slipped away 'Cause today my world slipped away |

| ~* To Make You Feel My Love *~ |
| When the
rain is blowing in you face And the whole world is on your case I could offer you a warm embrace To make you feel my love When evening shadows and the stars appear And there is no one to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love I know you haven't made your mind up yet But I would never do you wrong I've known it from the moment that we met There's no doubt in my mind where you belong I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue I'd go crawling down the avenue There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do To make you feel my love The storms are raging on a rolling sea And on the highway of regret The winds of change are blowing wild and free You ain't seen nothin' like me yet There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do Go to the ends of the earth for you Make you happy make your dreams come true To make you feel my love |

| ~* Too Good To Be True *~ |
| You
were all she ever wanted, that was once upon a time She was all you every needed, that's what makes it such a crime How you took her heart for granted, how you threw her love away Now you still don't understand it, if you did, you'd never say... It was too good to be true... What did you expect a girl as good as her to do What do you think would make that woman go and find somebody new She's not too good to be true... She's just too good to be true to you Just because she never said so, doesn't mean she didn't see Everytime you stole an apple off somebody else's tree Late last night that lipstick letter she left on the bedroom door Said you don't get it, and you ain't gonna get it anymore It was too good to be true... What did you expect a girl as good as her to do What do you think would make that woman go and find somebody new She's not too good to be true... She's just too good to be true to you She's not too good to be true... What did you expect a girl as good as her to do What do you think would make that woman go and find somebody new She's not too good to be true... She's just too good to be true to you Here we go Too good to be true to you What did you expect a girl as good as her to do What do you think would make that woman go and find somebody new She's not too good to be true... She's just too good to be true to you Just too good to be true to you |

| ~* Tree of Hearts *~ |
| On
a tree inside a heart A dull Boy Scout knife took half a day to carve Michael loves Caroline He'd just turned ten and she was nine The summer she turned sweet sixteen He finally found his nerve and took her out to see And what she saw through her tears Was seven hearts for seven years And they stood beneath the tree of hearts And they watched their feelings grow And they swore they'd never be apart True love left it's mark On the tree of hearts The tenth time he carved their names Caroline's dad was giving her away There beneath the shelter of The tree of hearts they pledged their love And then four hearts down the road They brought the first of two born home And they played beneath the tree of hearts And they watched their children grow And they swore they'd never be apart True love left it's mark On the tree of hearts In the blinking of an eye Somehow fifty-seven hearts flew by Fifty eight, fifty-nine Sixy he missed Caroline At sixty-one Michael knew There wouldn't be a sixty-two Now they lay beneath the tree of hearts You can watch their love still grow Where they swore they'd never be apart True love left it's mark On my tree of hearts |

~* Two Sparrows in a Hurricane *~ |
| She's
fifteen and he's barely driving a car She's got his ring and he's got the keys to her heart It's just matter of time They'll spread their wings and fly Like two sparrows in a hurricane Trying to find their way With a head full of dreams And faith that can move anything They've heard it's all uphill But all they know is how they feel The world says they'll never make it, love says they will There's a baby crying and one more on the way There's a wolf at the door with a big stack of bills They can't pay The clouds are dark and the wind is high But they can see the other side Like two sparrows in a hurricane Trying to find their way With a head full of dreams And faith that can move anything They've heard it's all uphill But all they know is how they feel The world says they'll never make it, love says they will She's eighty-three and he's barely driving a car She's got his ring and he's got the key to her heart It's just a matter of time They'll spread their wings and fly Like two sparrows in a hurricane Trying to find their way With a head full of dreams And faith that can move anything They've heard it's all uphill But all they know is how they feel The world says they'll never make it, love says they will |

| ~* Two Teardrops *~ |
| Two
teardrops were floatin' down the river One teardrop said to the other I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman in love I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry She was so happy she just got married I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her glove I could tell from the look on her face she didn't need me So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea The other tear said we've got a connection I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame She told him they would be lifelong companions Left him with questions and not any answers I was on his cheek as he stood there calling her name I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight Two more teardrops somebody cried One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue The tide goes out and the tide comes in And someday they'll be teardrops again Released in a moment of pleasure or a moment of pain Then they drift on down and ride to the sea again Last night I sat in the waiting room The nurse walked in and gave me the news It's a baby girl and they're both fine An old man sittin' not 10 feet away Just lost his wife and he said to me You've got a brand new angel and I've lost mine I guess the good Lord giveth and the good Lord taketh away And we both wiped a teardrop from our face Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight Two more teardrops somebody cried One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue The tide goes out and the tide comes in A whole new circle of life begins Where tears are a part of the pleasure and part of the pain 'Til they drift on down and ride to the sea again Two teardrops floatin' down the river Two teardrops floatin' down the river |

| ~* Very Special Love *~ |
| She
said, "I spent eight years in California That's the reason why I talk the way I do But I've heard how Southern men respect the ladies And I'd like to meet a gentleman like you" Well, I spent most of my life in Alabama That's the reason why I talk the way I do And I've always had this thing for sun-tanned ladies And I'd really like to spend some time with you And we walked on the beach till early morning And we watched as the sun came up again And somehow we both shared the feelin' That we'd just made a very special friend Tomorrow I'll go back to Alabama And you'll fly from Atlanta to L.A. And I'll get back to takin' care of bus'ness, And you'll go back to starrin' on the stage But we'll think of the beach come Monday morning When both of us get back to push and shove And somehow we will always remember The night we shared a very special love I spent most of my life in Alabama That's the reason why I talk the way I do I know we shared a very special friendship The night we made a very special love |

| ~* Watch This *~ |
| If
you've never felt what happens when two hearts fall together Or never seen love written in the stars and knew it was forever If you don't believe that destiny can start with just one wish Watch this I'll show you love like you've dreamed of I've got so much to give Watch this Don't be afraid you'll be amazed at all the ways That I can show you what you've missed Just close your eyes and Watch this A broken heart can't always live in fear afraid to fall I can make those feelings disappear in no time at all If you want to feel the world stand still from the magic of one kiss Watch this I'll show you love like you've dreamed of I've got so much to give Watch this Don't be afraid you'll be amazed at all the ways That I can show you what you've missed Just close your eyes and Watch this Watch this I'll show you love like you've dreamed of I've got so much to give Watch this Don't be afraid you'll be amazed at all the ways That I can show you what you've missed Just close your eyes and Watch this Oh baby Watch this |

| ~* We Could Have Been *~ |
| Today
at work I overheard a name I knew it wasn't yours But it touched me just the same It felt so good to have you in my mind I guess I'm the sentimental kind Oh, I wonder who you became Did you change the world Or play the game We came so close to love back then We could have been You were so brave When I was shy I made you laugh When something made you cry And I don't think we ever said good-bye Now I'll always wonder why Oh, I wonder who you became Did you change the world Or play the game Oh, we came so close to love back then We could have been A time or two I thought about calling But something always gets in the way Maybe I'm afraid you'd really answer What would I say to you? Oh, I wonder who you became Did you change the world Or play the game We came so close to love back then We could have been We could have been |

| ~* We Danced Anyway *~ |
| The
summer air was heavy and sweet You and I on a crowded street There was music everywhere, I can see us there In a happy little foreign town Where the stars hung upside down A half a world away, far far away I remember you were laughing We were so in love, we were so in love And the band played songs we'd never heard But we danced anyway We never understood the words We just sang oh la la la la la la la oh And we danced anyway They say you can't go back, baby I don't believe that Come along with me, come on and dance with me Maybe if I hold you close Baby we could just let go Of these things that tie us down, we'll come back around Do you remember we were laughing We were so in love, so in love And the band played songs we had never heard But we danced anyway We never understood the words We just sang oh la la la la la la la la la oh And we danced anyway Do you remember we were laughing We were so in love, we were so in love And the band played songs we had never heard But we danced anyway We never understood the words We just sang oh la la la la la la la la la oh And we danced anyway |

| ~* What If It's You *~ |
| I've
got something to tell you that I just can't say So I'm writing it down in case maybe someday Our lives take the turn down a road We can't see right now I know you're happy and I'm happy for you But since you found each other I've been so confused Cause I believe there's one soul on this earth That was meant for mine I was sent here to find What if it's you What if our hearts were meant to be one What'll I do Knowing that I'll never love anyone As much as I do love you What if it's true What if it's you If destiny called and I missed my cue Do I get one more chance Oh how I wish I knew I'll never again put my heart in the hands of fate If it's not too late What if it's you What if our hearts were meant to be one And what'll I do Knowing that I'll never love anyone As much as I do love you What if it's true What if it's you If I ever hold you I'll never let go But if I never do how will I know What if it's you What if our hearts were meant to be one What'll I do Knowing that I'll never love anyone As much as I do love you What if it's true What if it's you What'll I do What if it's true What if it's you |

| ~* What Might Have Been *~ |
| Sure
I think about you now and then But it's been a long long time I've got a good life now I've moved on So when you cross my mind I try not to think about What might have been 'Cause that was then And we have taken different roads We can't go back again There's no use giving in And there's no way to know What might have been We could sit and talk about this all night long And wonder why we didn't last Yes they might be the best days We will ever know But we'll have to leave them in the past So try not to think about What might have been 'Cause that was then And we have taken different roads We can't go back again There's no use giving in And there's no way to know What might have been That same old look in your eyes It's a beautiful night I'm so tempted to stay But too much time has gone by We should just say goodbye And turn and walk away And try not to think about What might have been 'Cause that was then And we have taken different roads We can't go back again There's no use giving in And there's no way to know What might have been No we'll never know What might have been |

| ~* What the Heart Wants *~ |
| She
met him down at the Laundromat Three a.m. on a washing machine They sat and talked till dawn He bought her breakfast at a small cafe The morning turned into the rest of the day When the day was gone He thought that she'd surely run away No fairytale ever started this way but It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here When stronger powers pull two bodies near Nothing on earth can interfere When love is what the heart wants They made a wish on the evening star From a roof top high above the boulevard Up in the twilight sky He held her hand as she held her breath Two lonely hearts beating scared to death Of a chance to fly Giving in to the arms of fate This isn't quite like the plans that they made but It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here When stronger powers pull two bodies near Nothing on earth can interfere When love is what the heart wants It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here When stronger powers pull two bodies near Nothing on earth can interfere When love is what the heart wants It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here When stronger powers pull two bodies near Nothing on earth can interfere When love is what the heart wants Nothing on earth can interfere When love is |

| ~* When Boy Meets Girl *~ |
| First
it's baseball arcades in the mall Skipping out of study hall to hang with the guys Then it's fast cars rock and roll guitars Lighting up behind the barn and not knowing why But his life is about to change He's never gonna be the same And he'll be living in a different world When boy meets girl One smile one look he's nearly on the hook Got it bad and feeling good all over inside He ain't got a clue what he's going through But he's going to just give him time 'Cause his life is about to change He's never gonna be the same He'll be living in a different world When boy meets girl He never polished his boots before Never thought about what he wore Never knew he could feel like that Now there ain't no way he can ever go back Oh yeah his life is about to change He ain't never gonna be the same And he'll be living in a different world When boy meets girl His life is about to change He's never gonna be the same He'll be living in a different world When boy meets girl When boy meets girl When boy meets girl |

| ~* When Love Dies *~ |
| Love
conquers all and someday it'll conquer you There's nothing finer than falling all in it when love is true But once it goes out and breaks your heart It still ain't history When love dies it don't rest in peace You can lock your doors and windows to keep the pain at bay Yesterday may be dead and gone but the past wont go away It's waiting right around every corner With a heartache you don't need When love dies it don't rest in peace Oh when love dies You can't bury those memories Oh when love dies It disappears but it never leaves When love dies it don't rest in peace How does love die then come back a ghost rattling chains It keeps on haunting my broken heart, driving me insane I hear it whisper my name in the night Just like it still lives and breathes When love dies it don't rest in peace Oh when love dies You can't bury those memories Oh when love dies It disappears but it never leaves When love dies it don't rest in peace When love dies it don't rest in peace (When love dies) (When love dies) When love dies it don't rest in peace (When love dies) (When love dies) When love dies it don't rest in peace |

| ~* When the Bartender Cries *~ |
| This
bar has been my home away from her Used to be she was missing me Now she's moving in with her best friend And I'm the only one who wants what used to be I'm here because today I lost it all I didn't want to drink at home alone I just can't believe, all my hopes and dreams are falling Like a row of dominoes I thought the man behind the bar Had heard it all before My story must have caught him by surprise 'Cause when he handed me my double There were tears in his eyes You know you're in trouble, when the bartender cries He said, Last night, you swore you'd never drink again I said, Next time, I'm really gonna try So if she ever calls for me Oh, you can finally tell her, He ain't here, and it won't be a lie I asked the man behind the bar What he he'd been crying for He said, That bottle used to be a friend of mine Now I stopped drinking doubles But I pour them all the time Son, you know you're in trouble when the bartender cries As I saw my own reflection staring back at me, I knew Every single word he said was true Well, I told the man behind the bar I thought I'd seen it all before Till I saw the sadness in his eyes That's when I put down my double, and said my last goodbye 'Cause you know you're in trouble when the bartender cries Oh, you know you're in trouble when the bartender cries |

| ~* When You Love Someone *~ |
| When
you love someone Really love someone You'd walk through fire to see her smile To be the father of her child What you wouldn't do 'Cause when you love someone Your heart just comes undone I'll never love again it's true The way that I love you Maybe it's just the sound of your voice When you say hello Or just the way you close your eyes When I hold you close There are so many reasons You're all I taste, I touch, I breathe in 'Cause when you love someone Really love someone You'd walk through fire to see her smile To be the father of her child What you wouldn't do When you love someone Your heart and soul are one I'll never love again it's true The way that I love you Sometimes I'm moved to tears 'Cause girl I just can't believe I found the person I've searched for Seems like eternity When I look into your blue-green eyes I see my future and I realize That's it's paradise 'Cause when you love someone Really love someone You'd walk through fire to see her smile To be the father of her child What you wouldn't do 'Cause when you love someone Your heart and soul are one I'll never love again it's true The way that I love you I'll never love again it's true The way that I love you |

| ~* Where Your Road Leads *~ |
| I
believe in miracles I believe in signs And I believe that mountains move One prayer at a time If I could be an angel I'd make your every wish come true But I am only human Just a woman Lovin' you Where your road leads I will follow When your heart bleeds I'll be there for you When your night grows dark And you can't find your tomorrow Then you can follow me Someday we'll look back and see Our footprints in the sand Sometimes you would carry me And sometimes you'd be in my hands If we can love forever That won't be long enough for me I want to hold you tender Be your shelter All you need Where your road leads I will follow When your heart bleeds I'll be there for you When your night grows dark And you can't find your tomorrow Then you can follow me Oh, we can be each other's guiding light Through this long and winding life Where your road leads I will follow When your heart bleeds I'll be there for you When your night grows dark And you can't find your tomorrow When you've lost sight of your dreams Then you can follow me |

| ~* Whoever's in New England *~ |
| You
spend an awful lot of time in Massachusetts Seems like every other week you've got a meeting waiting there Business must be booming or could something else be moving in the air up there You say that it's important for our future An executive on his way up has got to play the part And each time duty calls you've got to give it all You've got with all your heart When whoever's in New England's through with you And Boston finds better things to do You know it's not too late cause you'll always have a place to come back to When whoever's in New England's through with you I hear the winter time up north can last forever And I've been told it's beautiful to see this time of year They say the snow can blind you til the world you left behind just disappears I hear I've packed your bags and left them in the hallway But before you leave again there's just one thing you ought to know When the icy wind blows through you remember That's it's me Who feels so cold most of all When whoever's in New England's through with you And Boston finds better things to do You know it's not too late cause you'll always have a place to come back to When whoever's in New England's through with you |
