BETTER THAN IT USED TO BE

(Mark D. Sanders - Neil Thrasher)
« © '97 Starstruck Writers Group »
Now it ain't like me to talk about the way my woman makes me feel
But since you asked and I've got a minute well gentlemen here's the deal
If I told it's as good as this or that you might misunderstand
So let me give you all a little idea of what's it's better than

It's better than whiskey when you're cold
Better then your favorite song on the your radio
Better than a feather bed when you've been loving all night
And you're got to get some rest
Better than punching out on payday
And cruise control down the highway
It's a whole lot better then it used to be
And it used to be the best

Now I've seen love that started to fade soon after that first kiss
But let me make it clear right now that ain't the case with this
It started out good started gettin' better It never has slowed down
And it's better than a bunch of you buying me another round

It's better than whiskey when you're cold...
[ guitar ] Lordy Lord I love that woman of mine
And what we've got has got to be one hundred times

Better than whiskey when you're cold...
Yeah it's a whole lot better then it used to be
And it used to be the best

MORE THAN EVERYTHING

(Marv Green - Aimee Mayo)
« © '97 BMG Entertainment »
Long before the first beats of our hearts
Somehow someone knew that you belong here in my arms
And now that I've got you girl I'm amazed everyday
How you make my life complete in everyway
But when I start to question just how on earth you found me
All I really have to do is stop and look around me

He shows the rivers where to run struck the match that lit the sun
He writes the songs the birds sing makes the flowers bloom in spring
But of all the things he's done he made me for you and you for me
And that's more than everything

And my hearts telling me each time we touch
This love has always been bigger than the both of us
As I look into your eyes darling now there's no doubt
I know your the one thing I could never live without
I'm forever thankful for all the gifts in my life
And I feel there is someone smiling down on us tonight

He shows the rivers where to run...

But of all the things he's done he made me for you and you for me
And that's more than everything more than everything

REST OF FOREVER

(Kent Blazy - Skip Ewing)
« © '97 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
He hurt you she hurt me now trust doesn't come so easily
Love isn't the fairy tale it was before
So we're careful cause we're fragile we both realize some caution is wise
But we won't really love till we're not scared to hurt anymore

So I open myself to the thought and the hope
And the real and the fact it could end
But I'm taking the chance cause I know if we don't
Then we might never find this again
And I know that we can't be alone what we might be together
So I'll give you my best for what's left of the rest of forever

You need me and I need you sharing again isn't easy to do
We've only been able to count on ourselves for so long
And now taken takes courage and though I'm afraid it's making me brave
Seeing you struggle to stay weak enough to be strong

So I open myself to the thought...

I'm yours forever I'm sure as forever I've been
I said never again

But I open myself to the thought...
