WE'RE SO GOOD TOGETHER

How do two people like us ever happen to meet
I think about that
Was the timing just right was it that the night was so sweet
I think about that
Was it physical chemical what was the deal
Or did some kind of magic turn out to be real
Might be how you kiss and hold me tight
When we're walkin' honey underneath the moonlight
Might be how it keeps on getting better
We haven't even talked about forever
I just know that we're so good together
When did we cross that line and just happen to find we're in love
I think about that
Was it you was it me who could see we'd turn out to be us
I think about that
We could spend all our time trying to figure it out
And not be any closer than we are right now
Might be how you kiss and hold me tight...
[ guitar ]
Might be how you kiss and hold me tight...

TILL I SAID IT TO YOU
(Tom Shapiro - Sharon Vaughn - Wally Wilson)

Love is a powerful word a little word that oughta mean something
Love better mean what it says say what you mean or it doesn't mean nothing
Love's a dangerous door to open if you don't feel it when it's spoken
Sometimes I said it when I really didn't mean it
Just to throw away a promise I knew wasn't true
It meant a little less to me everytime I did it
But I never said I love you from the heart till I said it to you
You made me tell you the truth and that truth was a total revelation
I see I have it in me now I can speak without any hesitation
I love you comes so freely for the first time I believe me
Sometimes I said it when I really didn't mean it...

I'LL BE
(Diane Warren)
« © '99 Realsongs, ASCAP »
When darkness falls upon your heart and soul
I'll be the light that shines for you
When you forget how beautiful you are
I'll be there to remind you
When you can't find your way I'll find my way to you
When troubles come around I will come to you
I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on
Be your shelter when you need someone to see you through
I'll be there to carry you I'll be there
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you
The one that will hold on to you
When you feel that rain falling down
When there's nobody else around I'll be
And when you're there with no one there to hold
I'll be the arms that reach for you
And when you feel your faith is running low
I'll be there to believe in you
When all you find are lies I'll be the truth you need
When you need someone to run to you can run to me
I'll be your shoulder...
I'll be the sun when your heart's filled with rain
I'll be the one to chase the rain away
I'll be your shoulder...

WHAT DO YOU SAY
(Neil Thrasher - Michael Dulaney)
« © '99 Major Bob Music, ASCAP / Dulaney House Music, BMI / Ensign Music, BMI »
Stuck at a red light outside an adult bookstore
His son said daddy what are all those X's for
As the light turned green he changed the subject fast
Started talking bout football as they drove right past
So what do you say in a moment like this
When you can't find the words to tell it like it is
Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way
Let's get out of here oh what do you say
Seventeen years old she was out with her friends
They started drinking at some party till she was three sheets to the wind
Her mama always told her she could call no matter what
She was crying on the front steps when her mom showed up
So what do you say in a moment like this...
Sometimes you gotta listen to the silence
And give yourself a little time to think
Her every breath is weaker than the last
And lately when she sleeps she talks about the past
Her husband knows she's tired of holding on
She looks at him and says I wanna go home
What do you say in a moment like this
When you can't find the words to tell it like it is
Just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way
Oh what do you say
[ guitar ]
Oh just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way
Oh what do you say ooo what do you say

ROSES
(Melba Montgomery - Leslie Winn Satcher)
« © '99 Ensign Music, BMI »
A soft summer evening another time another place
He brought her red roses on their very first date
She got carried away by the things that he said
Time would erase them but she would never forget
And the roses heard it all
The rose in her hair the rose in her hand
The roses in the paper on the wall
There's a story to tell if the roses could talk
Somewhere close to midnight another time another place
She lays in the darkness with tears on her face
While he talks in his sleep confessing his love
He calls out a name that she's never heard of
And the roses heard it all...
She never told him she never let him see her cry
Only the roses know what she kept deep down inside
The years took their toll and the angels took her away
Now there's family and friends at a cold winter's grave
He kneels down and whispers you're the only love that I've known
As he lays a rose on a cold marble stone
But the roses heard it all
The rose from her garden the rose in her Bible
The roses in the paper on the wall
There's a story to tell if roses could talk
What a story to tell if roses could talk

I'M NOT YOUR GIRL
(Eric Silver - Shelly Peiken)
« © '99 April Music, ASCAP / 703 Music, ASCAP /

Felt so right for awhile almost really believed
I could stay here forever my heart could be free
Oh I wish it were that easy but it's never been for me
I'm not your girl
Feels so warm and so safe here now don't get me wrong
But it's selfish to stay here I'd be leading you on
Maybe someone else can give you what you really really want
But I'm not your girl
They say people change I wish it were true
It's something I've tried so hard to do
Now I can't explain why right seems so wrong
And I keep hearing the same old song
I'm not your girl I'm not your girl
See I've been here before left a good thing behind
Can't see where I'm going maybe love's really blind
And I'm so afraid to lose the one who was so hard to find
But I'm not your girl
They say people change I wish it were true...
One day I'll come back here and I'll knock at your door
She'll be sweet when she answers and I'll know for sure
That life is never easy in this complicated world
I'm not your girl I'm not your girl
I'm not your girl I'm not your girl

SHE WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM
(Dean Dillon - Leslie Winn Satcher)
« © '99 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
She was good at late night listening when he'd call her on the phone
She was good to come and get him when he couldn't make it home
She was good to make love to and they did now and then
She was good to never ask when he'd be back again
She wasn't good enough for him for his family or his friends
He kept her out there on a limb wouldn't let her go wouldn't let her in
She wasn't good enough for him
She was there on his bad days and for years he led her on
We all knew she had a bad case he was doing her all wrong
She couldn't bring herself to do the right thing break it off and say goodbye
Til she overheard him one night telling somebody on the side
That she wasn't good enough for him...
He kept her out there on a limb wouldn't let her go wouldn't let her in
She wasn't good enough for him
She was good at late night listening when he'd call her on the phone

NOBODY DIES FROM A BROKEN HEART
(Randy Sharp - Sonny Lemaire)
« © '94 Longitude Music, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Nobody told me it could ever hurt so bad
I'm having to learn the hard way now that you're gone
It's hurtin' me more than any pain I've ever had
And I don't know how I can go on
(Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you apart)
But nobody dies from a broken heart
Everyone tells me it's gonna tyake a little time
Before you find your heartaches slipping away
I know they mean well and they're just trying to ease my mind
And it doesn't help to hear them say
(Nobody dies from a broken heart...
There's nothing anybody's gonna say that'll talk me out of feeling this way
There's nothing anyone can do to take away my love for you
[ guitar ]
I know they mean well and they're just trying to ease my mind
And it doesn't help to hear them say
(Nobody dies from a broken heart...

BACK BEFORE THE WAR
(Keith Stegall - Dan Hill - Robin Wiley)
« © '99 November One Songs, BMI »
Stacks of paper my name in bold print yours beside it on this document
Too many lawyers too many angry words
So much we didn't say so much we never heard
Do you remember when I was all that you were living for
Back before the war
Back before the broken vows the shattered trust this empty house
When nothing really mattered but us
Back before we climbed too high my dreams were yours your dreams were mine
Back before we fell so out of touch
Back before the war
Children's laughter trailing down the hall tiny footsteps God how I miss it all
It's not as simple as who's right and who's to blame
How could we fly so high to be shot down in flames
Do you remember when you were all that I was living for
Back before the war
Oh back before the broken vows...
Stacks of paper I guess this is where we sign
Strange how your signature so closely matches mine
I never dreamed our love would ever come to this
Avoiding each other's eyes still craving your tenderness
Do you remember when love was all that we were living for
Back before the war back before the war

WHEN YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO
(Tim Johnson - Rory Lee)
« © '99 Blackwood Music, BMI / Tim Johnson Music, BMI »
Let me try to explain it's not the roses or champagne
That really touch my heart how can I make you see
You're the best at loving me when you don't know you are
Baby it's the way that you reach out while you're sleeping
And gently hold my hand the whole night through
It's how you listen when I'm pouring out my feelings
Baby when I feel the most from you is when you're not trying to
You don't need to rehearse some sweet romantic words to whisper in my ear
So just forget the poetry what comes naturally is what I long to hear
Baby it's the way that you reach out...
It's in your eyes and in your smile in the passion of your kiss
It's taking me in your arms so easily so easily
[ guitar ]
It's how you listen when I'm pouring out my feelings
Baby when I feel the most from you
Is when you're not trying to is when you're not trying to
When you're not trying to

WHERE YOU END AND I BEGIN
(Chuck Jones - Templeton Thompson)
« © '99 Music Of Stage Three, BMI / Hard Tail Hits, BMI / PSO Limited, ASCAP »
I guess I'm just one of those who believes there has to be a reason
For living and breathing
Every time you pull me close something tells me there'll be no more reaching
You're everything I'm needing
Oh I don't know how it happened I never thought I would
Find someone to complete me
Oh I just can't explain it this feeling that I get
Oh there ain't no way to name it but I'm thinking baby maybe
It's the way you look at me like there'll never be another
I get swept away baby when we get so caught up in each other
I don't know where you end and I begin where you end and I begin
All it takes is just one kiss I just wanna get lost in this emotion
Like the river and the ocean
Oh when you wrap your arms around me it happens every time
Time don't seem to matter
We'll always be together I don't know what it is
That tells me it's forever but I'm thinking baby maybe
It's the way you look at me...

WE'RE ALL ALONE
(Boz Scaggs)
« © '76 Boz Scaggs Music, ASCAP »
Outside the rain begins and it may never end
So cry no more on the shore a dream will take us out to sea
Forever more forever more
Close your eyes and dream and you can be with me
Neath the waves through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now we're all alone we're all alone
Close the window calm the lights and it will be alright
No need to bother now let it out let it all begin and learn how to pretend
Repetido ya lo antiguo pasara fue amor amantes y dolor
Con el viento al volor abracame o abracame
Sin mirar vuelve a vivir ambos sonando asi sin importarnos mas
Deja ya regresa a vivir empieza a disfrutar solo yo sola tu
Close the window calm the lights
Ambos sonando asi sin importarnos mas
Let it out let it all begin
Empieza na disfrutar amor
Oh hold me dear
[ guitar ]
All's forgotten now my love olvidados ya
