If I Fell

John Lennon - Paul McCartney

© Maclen Music, BMI

If I fell in love with you would you promise to be true
And help me understand
Cause I've been in love before and I found that love was more
Than just holdin' hands

If I give my heart to you I must be sure
From the very start that you would love me more than her
If I trust in you oh please don't run and hide
If I love you too oh please don't hurt my pride like her
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that I would love to love you and that she will cry
When she learns we are two cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that I would love to love you and that she will cry
When she learns we are two if I fell in love with you

I'll Be

Diane Warren

© 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 when you need someone to lean on...

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 when you need someone to lean on...

What If

Diane Warren

© Realsongs, ASCAP

Sometimes I don't understand feels like I'm living in a world gone mad
Look around all around it's just the same
People just rush everywhere no time to ever take the time to care
We're the ones we're the losers in this game
So where is the tenderness we sacrifice for progress
And where is the love we need you know it makes me wonder

What if everybody what if everybody reached out with just one hand
What if everybody what if everybody sang out with just one voice
Maybe we could change things
What if everybody what if everybody cared with just one heart
What if everybody what if everybody tried to light one spark
Maybe we could change things somehow

Somehow it's all up to us
Gotta take this world make it a world of love
Gotta do it now
Gotta find a way to make a change somehow
There's gotta be a way for us to make it better

What if everybody what if everybody reached out with just one hand...

Here in our hearts oh the answer is there
If we only would look inside them
We can make it better we can make it better If we try together

What if everybody what if everybody reached out with just one hand...

By The Time I Get To Phoenix

Jim Webb

© Johnny Rivers Music, BMI

By the time I get to Phoenix he'll be rising
He'll find the note I left hanging on his door
And he'll laugh when he reads the part that says I'm leaving
Cause I've left that man so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque he'll be working
He'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But he'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Off the wall that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma he'll be sleeping
He'll turn softly and call my name out low
And he'll cry just to think I'd really leave him
Though time and time I've tried to tell him so
Oh he just didn't know I would really go I would really go

On My Own

Carole Bayer Sager - Burt Bacharach

© New Hidden Valley Music, ASCAP

with Trisha Yearwood & Martina McBride & Linda Davis

So many times I said it was forever said our love would always be true
Something in my heart always knew I'd be lying there beside him
On my own on my own on my own

Oh so many promises never should be spoken now you know what loving him costs
Now you're even talking divorce and you weren't even married
On my own once again I'm one more time by myself

No one said it would be easy no but it once was so easy
Well I believe in love now here I stand you wonder why
I'm on my own why did it end this way on my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be on my own
I wish that we could do it all again so many times I know I could have told you
That losing him would cut like a knife he walked out and there went your life
I don't want to live without him on my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to end on my own
I wish that we could do it all again on my own
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone by myself on my own
You've got to find out where you belong again on my own
You've got to learn how to be strong again on my own
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone by myself
You've got to find out where you belong again
Your hear is saying that it's time again and I know you're gonna shine again

You're No Good

Clint Ballard

© Bourne Co, ASCAP

I'm feelin' better now that we're through feelin' better cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson it left a scar now I see how you really are

You're no good you're no good you're no good baby you're no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good you're no good you're no good baby you're no good

I broke a heart that's gentle and true so I left a man over someone like you
I beg your forgiveness on bended knee but I wouldn't blame him if he said to me

Baby you're no good you're no good baby you're no good...
[ instrumental ]
I'm telling you now baby that I'm going my way
Forget about you baby cause I'm leaving today

You're no good you're no good baby you're no good...
Yeah you're no good you're no good you're no good baby you're no good

Starting Over Again

Donna Summer - Bruce Sudano

© Sweet Summer Night Music, ASCAP

Moma moved out daddy sold the house
They split up the money and went on their way
And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put mama and daddy back together again

Starting over again where should they begin
Cause they've never been out on their own
Starting over again where do you begin
When your dreams are all shattered and the kids are all grown
And the whole world cries

Got an apartment she moved in with her sisters
He's scheming big deals with one of his friends
While she sits at home sorting out pieces
Of left over memories from thirty odd years

Starting over again where do you begin
You've never been out on your own
Starting over again never any end

What will the neighbors say they're talking talk its small town news
Facing fifty years old making up a happy home
And this far down the road you find yourself alone two fools

Starting over again oh where do you begin
When you've never been out on your own
Starting over again oh never any end
When your dreams are all shattered and the kids are all grown

And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Could never put mama and daddy back together

Please Come To Boston

Dave Loggins

© Leeds Music, ASCAP

He said please come to Boston for the springtime
I'm staying here with some friends and they've got lots of rooms
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe where I hope to be working soon
Please come to Boston I said no boy would you come home to me

I said rambling boy why don't you settle down
Boston ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

He said please come to Denver with the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains so far we can't be found
And throw I love you echoes down the canyon
And then lie awake at night until they come back around
Please come to Denver I just said no would you come home to me

I said rambling boy why don't you settle down
Denver ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

Now this drifter's world goes round and round
And I doubt if it's ever gonna stop
But of all the dreams I've lost or found
And all that I ain't got
He still need to lean to somebody he can sing to

He said please come to LA to live forever
California life alone is just too hard to live
I live in a house that looks out over the ocean
There's some stars that fell from the sky living up on the hill
Please come to LA I said no boy would you come home to me

I said rambling boy why don't you settle down
LA ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee Tennessee

Ring On My Finger Time On My Hands

Don Goodman - Mary Ann Kennedy - Pam Rose

© Blackwood Music, BMI

I stood before God my family and friends
And vowed that I'd never love anyone else again only him
As pure as my gown of white I stood by his side
And promised that I'd love him till the day I die
Lord please forgive me even though I lied
Cause you're the only one who knows just how hard I tried

I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands
The woman in me needed the warmth of a man
The gold turned cold in my wedding band
It's just a ring on your finger when there's time on your hands

But I add up all the countless nights I cried myself to sleep
And all the broken promises he somehow failed to keep
He can't blame me
He's the one who left me too many times alone
In a tree bedroom prison I'd try to make a home
My love slowly died but the fire inside still burned
And the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn

I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands...
[ instrumental ]
I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands...

New Fool At An Old Game

Steve Bogard - Rick Giles - Sheila Stephen

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

You sure know what you're doing holding me this way
And I'll go where you lead me anywhere you say
You've got me where you want me so darling please be kind
Before you take it all and I make that final fall you've got to keep in mind

I'm a new fool at an old game
A kid out of school tryin' to find my way
And I don't know the rules so teach me how to play
I'm just a new fool at an old game

Maybe I'm a dreamer or maybe I'm naive
But when you say you love me I start to believe
That coal can turn to diamonds this night will never end
But if it isn't so and I cry when you go you've got to understand

That I'm a new fool at an old game...

I Won't Mention It Again

Cam Mullins

© Seaview Music, BMI

I know you're tired of being all I ever wanted
You'll no longer feel the love I have for you
What happens now what will I do with all the mem'ries
And the dreams of all the things we'll never do

But I won't mention it again I won't think about tomorrow
Just let it happen live each hour day by day
But let me tell you before you go how much I love you
Then I won't mention it again I won't mention it again

I feel my life has reached an early sign of autumn
In my heart the leaves are falling love is cold
And everything that once was warm and new is gone now
Leaving nothing but this hunger in my soul

But I won't mention it again I won't think about tomorrow...

500 Miles Away From Home

Bobby Bare - Charlie Williams - Hedy West

© Friendship Music, BMI

Teardrops fell on mama's note when I read the things she wrote
She said we miss you girl we love you come on home
Well I didn't have to pack I had it all right on my back
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home

Away from home away from home cold and tired and all alone
Yes I'm five hundred miles away from home

It's hard to tell the state I'm in where I'm going where I've been
But there's a dream I've been following so long
If mama knew the things I've done she'd forgive them every one
But I'm five hundred miles away from home

Away from home away from home cold and tired and all alone...
[ instrumental ]
Can't remember when I ate it's just thumb and walk and wait
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home

Away from home away from home cold and tired and all alone...
Lord I'm still five hundred miles away from home

Talking In Your Sleep

Roger Cook - Bobby Wood

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

Three o'clock in the morning
And it looks like it's gonna be another sleepless night
I've been listenin' to your dreams and gettin' very low
Wondering what I can do

Maybe I'm being foolish
Cause I haven't heard you mention anybody's name at all
How I wish I could be sure it's me that turns you on
Each time you close your eyes I've heard it said that dreamers never lie

You've been talking' in your sleep sleeping in your dreams
Wish some sweet lover holding on so tight
Loving her the way you used to love me
Talking in your sleep with lovin' on your mind

Maybe I'm being foolish...
You've been talking' in your sleep sleeping in your dreams...

You've been talking' in your sleep sleeping in your dreams...

What Do You Say

Michael Dulaney - Neil Thrasher

© Major Bob Music, ASCAP

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
[ instrumental ]
Oh just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way
Oh what do you say ooo what do you say

We're So Good Together

Bob DiPiero - Annie Roboff - John S. Sherrill

© Tree Pub, BMI

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...
[ instrumental ]
Might be how you kiss and hold me tight...
