COMMITMENT
(Tony Colton - Bobby Wood - Tony Marty)
« © '98 Rio Bravo Music, BMI / Lehsem Music, ASCAP / Publishing Two's Music, ASCAP »
What I'm looking for is a love that's forever
Someone who can capture my soul in a heartbeat and stay for all time
What I'm praying for is a match made in heaven
Someone who will worship my body and still put his heart on the line
Commitment someone who'll go the distance
I need somebody with staying power who will make me go weak in the knees
Commitment and everything that goes with it
I need honor and love in my life from somebody who's playing for keeps
What I'm searching for is a man who'll stand by me
Who will walk through the fire and be my flame in the night
Oh and I won't settle for less than what I deserve
A friend and a lover who will love me for the rest of my life
Commitment someone who'll go the distance...
Yeah I've had promises broken three words left unspoken
They just left me achin' for more
But I've fought temptation I won't be impatient
There's one thing worth waiting for
Commitment someone who'll go the distance...
[ guitar ]
Commitment someone who'll go the distance...

LOOKING THROUGH YOUR EYES
(David Foster - Carol Bayer Sager)
« © '98 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Look at the sky tell me what do you see just close your eyes and describe it to me
The heavens are sparkling with starlight tonight that's what I see through your eyes
I see the heavens each time that you smile I hear your heartbeat just go on for miles
And suddenly I know why life is worthwhile that's what I see through your eyes
Here in the night I see the sun here in the dark our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands we can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise looking through your eyes
[ ac.guitar ]
I look at myself and instead I see eyes whoever I am now it feels like enough
And I see a girl who is learning to trust that's who I see through your eyes
Here in the night I see the sun here in the dark our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands we can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise looking through your eyes
And there are some things we don't know sometimes a heart just needs to go
And there is so much of us I remember underneath the open sky with you forever
Here in the night I see the sun...

UNDENIABLE
(Rafe VanHoy - Deborah Allen)
« © '93 Mike Curb Music, BMI / Posey Publishing, BMI »
Being here together it's like dreaming wide awake
Once you've found perfection you know it's no mistake
Too many times I've tried too hard to make love become real
You showed me how my life can change when love is meant to be
It's undeniable your love is undeniable
It's undeniable true love is undeniable it's undeniable
You can change direction you can change your mind
Cold sky and close your eyes but the sun's still gonna shine
Cause when the magic comes your way and you say it isn't real yeah
There's no use to try to lie about the way you make me feel
Well I can't turn it down no one else can turn it around
It's the truest thing I've ever found
It's undeniable...

FEELS LIKE HOME
(Diane Warren)
« © '95 Realsongs, ASCAP »
In your eyes I find the answers to my questions
In your arms yeah I found the world I've waited for
In your touch I found everything I ever needed I need nothing more
Always dreamed of the day when my dream would find me
Now my dream's beside me you are in my life
In your arms I know where I belong I've never known this feeling oh
But it feels like home in your eyes I know what I can be
You opened up your heart to me and it feels like home
When I'm with you baby it feels like home
All those times when there was not much to believe in
I kept my faith yeah that you were waiting there for me
I searched this world and now my search is finally over
I found what I believed always hoped for the day
When my heart would find you now my heart's beside you you are in my life
In your arms I know where I belong I've never known this feeling oh
But it feels like home in your eyes I know what I can be
You've opened up your heart to me oh and it feels like home
It doesn't matter where I've been or what I've been through
Cause I know I've been waiting every day of my life to be with you to be with you
In your arms I know where I belong I've never known this feeling before
But it feels like home in your eyes I know what I can be
You've opened up your heart to me and it feels like home
When I'm with you baby it feels like home
When I'm with you baby it feels like home
Feels like home it feels like home feels like home it feels like home

There's a white cloud a risin' about to catch the wind
And I don't want to fight it alright you win
Here I stand heart in hand no it ain't rightly
Don't take it ligthtly you know I'd never bend
Surrender I'm giving in giving up
Currender crossing over the line for your love
If I trust enough then I might just fall into forever
And all I've got to do is surrender
I see a white dove flying the clouds have rolled on past
And isn't it surprising I feel the peace at last
Got all I need surrounding me
I'm not afraid to stand up and say I willingly oh
Surrender I'm giving in giving up...
[ guitar ]
Oh if I trust enough then I might just fall into forever
And all I've got to do all I've go to do
Baby all I've go to do is surrender oh surrender
Surrender surrender all I gotta do baby surrender

THESE ARMS OF MINE
(Jeff Tweel - Susan Gail Tweel - Gail Thompson)
« © '98 Mighty Nice Music, BMI / Curb Songs, ASCAP / Kinetic Diamond II, ASCAP »
These arms of mine long to hold you again like they did long ago
The winds of time if left untamed can chill the flame and kill its love
But this love in me still is only to feel the touch of yours in these arms of mine
[ fiddle - steel ]
This love in me still is only to feel the touch of yours in these arms of mine
The touch of yours in these arms of mine

Nowhere to go all night to get there another nice try with Mr Wrong
Late night TV on my horizon national Anthem and I'm barely hangin' on
Just a typical Saturday night feeling like the rest of my life
There was nothin' new under the moon same old dance same old tune
Just wishes on stars that never came true just one more night to get through
But there was nothin' new under the moon till you
Hey what a change hey what a concept here's a true heart wanting mine
News flash who'd ever thought you could
Have the same feeling at the very same time
Look at what your love's doing to me I can't believe I used to believe
That there was nothin' new under the moon same old dance same old tune
Just wishes on stars that never came true just one more night to get through
There was nothin' new under the moon till you
Nothin' new under the moon same old dance same old tune
Just wishes on stars that never came true just one more night to get through
There was nothin' new under the moon till you nothin' new under the moon till you

WHEN AM I GONNA GET OVER YOU
(Bryan White - John Tirro)
« © '98 New Hayes Music, ASCAP / Seventh Son Music, ASCAP »
You told me on the day that you left me to take real good care of myself
But it's so hard to do if I can't have you here to hold me when I want nobody else
When am I gonna get over you and stop living in the past
When am I gonna over you when my poor heart beats its last
Soon you'll wake me and you'll say I've been dreaming
I'll just have to wait til then
Until my time here is done and the angels come to take me
Then I'll be with you again
When am I gonna get over you a stop living in the past
When am I gonna over you wn my poor heart beats its last
Someday I may love again but ou'll be with me even then
When am I gonna get over you a stop living in the past
When am I gonna over you wn my poor heart beats its last
You told me on the day that you left me

MORE THAN ANYONE DESERVES
(Ron Grimes - LeAnn Rimes)
« © '98 Mike Curb Music, BMI / Rimes Publishing, BMI / Timeless Creations Music, BMI »
If I woke up tomorrow and my eyes could not see
In the darkness there'd be beauty of the love you've shown to me
Cause I've loved longer and wieder deeper and higher
Cause I've been loved more than anyone deserves
If tomorow for some reason somehow I could not hear
In the silence there'd be music of your love that's always near
Cause I've been loved longer and wider deeper and higher
Yes I've been loved more than anyone deserves
[ dobro - fiddle ]
If I woke up in heaven and I could not feel your touch
Then I'd want to be your angel and I love you just as much
Cause I've been loved longer and wider deeper and higher
Cause I've been loved I've been loved more than anyone deserves

INSENSITIVE
(Anne Loree)
« © '98 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
How do cool your lips aer summer's kiss
How do you rid the sweat aer the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes from the romantic glare
How do you block the sound of a voice you'd know anywhere
Oh I really should have known bthe time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes your causal goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace the expression on your face
Told me maybe you might have some
Advice to give on how to be insensitive insensitive
How do you numb your skin after the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood after the body rush
How do you free your soul after you've found a friend
How do you teach your heart it's time to fall in love again
Oh you probably won't remember me it's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few who ran ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch I fell too fast I feel too much
I thought that you might have some advice to give on how to be insensitive
Oh I really should have known...

ALL THE LOVING AND THE HURTING TOO
(Rafe VanHoy - Deborah Allen)
« © '93 Mike Curb Music, BMI / Posey Publishing, BMI »
Do you ever get past the pain you go through
When you give all you can and you can't understand
Why a dream won't come true it's one sided romance you can't undo
When you do all the loving and the hurting too
You can't take it back once you give your heart
Tryin' not to recall how you did all is the hardest part
And you can't change the reason you feel like a fool
Cause you did all the loving and the hurting too
That's the price you pay for doing more than your share
When you love enough for both of you no one else has to care
And though it's all over you look back on the truth
You did all the lovin' and the hurting too

Never seen a sky so blue I've never been happy with anyone

HEART NEVER FORGETS
(Frank J. Myers - Gary Baker - Jerry Williams)
« © '98 Zomba Songs, BMI »
Went through the attic today found an old yearbook packed away
And I started reliving the past when I saw his face
Suddenly to my surprise I felt a tear fall from my eyes
The heart never forgets no the heart never forgets
You can find someone and live your life
Put an old memory out of your mind
But the heart never forgets
A face on a crowded street an old movie on TV
A song on the radio can bring it all back
Years roll by one by one all things change
But there's always someone
The heart never forgets...
[ guitar ]
The heart never forgets...

PURPLE RAIN
(Prince)
« © '98 Controversy Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain purple rain purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain I only wanted to see you in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain purple rain...
Honey I know I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new that means you to
You say you want a leader but you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better clos it and let me guid you to the purple rain
Purple rain purple rain purple rain purple rain
If you know waht I'm singing about up here
Come on raise your hand purple rain purple rain
I only want to see you only want to see you in the purple rain
