So Magical

I was walking down the street
In my blue jeans and my bare feet
I saw old Mrs. Mayo in her garden so high

She got her prize azaleas
And her big ole fat tomatoes
She invited me in to have a piece of her pie

And later on I thought I'd head on down
By the Caley River to the old rope swing
There was a bunch of kids laughin' and jumpin' in
I sat down on the grass and I just watched them play
And all my worries seemed to wash away

Oh it's a magical thing
When the sun is shinging down on me
And this is such a beautiful place
Don't wanna miss a minute of today it's so magical

Tonight I'll go home and write myself a letter
Tell myself to live a little freer and love a little better
Gonna soak it in like there's no tomorrow
And drink up every second like a big ole glass of water

Oh I feel like I could fly
When I see the world through these eyes

She's A Butterfly

John Rich - Kenny Big

She remembers when she first got her wings
And how she opened up that day she learned to sing
Then the colors came erased the black and white
And her whole world changed when she realized

She's a butterfly pretty as the crimson sky
Nothing's ever gonna bring her down
And everywhere she goes
Everybody knows she's so glad to be alive
She's a butterfly

Like the purest light in a darkened world
So much hope inside such a lovely girl
You should see her fly it's almost magical
It makes you wanna cry she's so beautiful

God bless the butterfly give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
God bless the butterfly give her strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground

God bless the butterfly give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
God bless the butterfly give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground

City Of Love

Troy Lancaster - Tommy Polk

© Blackwood Music, BMI

This is no yellow brick road
We've been travelin' on

A river of tears washed us here
We're right where we belong

We rode it out no we didn't drown
And look at what we've found

Every street we take is paved with truth
If a mountain's in our way that's a mountain we move
Baby there ain't nothin' we can't do
Since me and you built a city of love

Through shiftin' sands with our own hands
We dug to solid ground

Where we found out what love's about
Yeah there's no stoppin' us now

Yeah on our own stone by stone
We built a fortress strong where

This One's For The Girls

Hillary Lindsey - Chris Lindsey - Aimee Mayo

© Bumblebee Music, BMI

This one's for all you girls about thirteen
High school can be so rough can be so mean
Hold onto on to your innocence
Stand your ground when everyone's giving in

This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about twenty-five
In a little apartment just trying to get by
Living on on dreams and spaghetti-o's
Wondering where you life is gonna go

This one's for the girls who've ever had a broken heart
Who've wished upon a shooting star you're beautiful the way you are
This one's for the girls who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have all around the world
This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about forty-two
Tossing pennies into the Fountain of Youth
Every laugh laugh line on your face
Made you who you are today

This one's for the girls who've ever had a broken heart...

Yeah we're all the same inside from 1 to 99

This one's for the girls who've ever had a broken heart...
Yeah this one's for the girls

How Far

Ed Hill - Jimmie O'Neal - Shaye Smith

© Blackwood Music, BMI

There's a boat I could sail away
There's the sky I could catch a plane
There's a train there's the tracks
I could leave and I could choose to not come back
Oh never come back

There you are giving up the fight
Here I am begging you to try
Talk to me let me in
But you just put your wall back up again
Oh when's it gonna end

How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts but I just can't
Keep on giving go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far

There's a chance I could change my mind
But I won't not till you decide
What you want what you need
Do you even care if I stay or leave
Oh what's it gonna be

Out of this chair or just across the room
Halfway down the block or halfway to the moon

How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts but I just can't
Keep on giving go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away and it's up to you to say
Yeah I'm gonna walk away and it's up to you to say how far

Reluctant Daughter

Jon Vezner - Sally Barris

© Kapitana Patata Music, ASCAP

Jesus tell my father I want to be His child again
Tell Him what my name is in case He's forgotten

Tell him I'm the woman at the well drawing water
And I'm sorry if I've been his reluctant daughter

Jesus tell my angels to keep me in their prayers
Remind them how I need to feel them everywhere

Tell 'em I'm ready to drink living water
I don't want my angels to think I'm his reluctant daughter

Jesus tell my father I want to come to heaven
Tell Him to shout my name out so I won't be forgotten

Wearing White

Tommy James - Lisa Drew

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Phones were ringing, tongues were wagging
Hot gossip was flying all around town
She heard the talk the lowdown was
The shameless color of her wedding gown

It's white I mean really who's she trying to kid
Everybody knows the things she did
It just isn't right won't that be a sight
To see her wearing white

She was wild a wayward child to put it mildly
She made her life a mess
But she was young the past is done
Now she's in love and putting on a new dress

It's white and it's nobody's business what she wears
Anyway the truth is she don't care
Baby it's her life she'll do what she likes
And she likes wearing white

He's all nerves when he sees her
As far as he's concerned she's an angel

In white he just can't believe that she is his
What a crazy miracle this is
Who she was he don't mind
Cause on their wedding night
She'll be wearing white
She'll be wearing white
She'll be wearing white

When You Love Me

Hillary Lindsey - Brett Cornelius - Angelo Petriglia

© Macadoo Music, BMI

Sometimes I feel like I never quite fit in
Like I'm always a little out of place
It's hard to be everything to everyone
There's so many roles I have to play
Sometimes I'm just barely hanging on
Seems like I'm always fighting to be strong
To find somewhere that I belong

When you love me every part of me feels
Like I'm right where I'm meant to be
When you touch me you reach through to
My soul to the truest place in me
Baby in your arms I'm free to just be a woman

I can't believe how beautiful I feel
There is nothing here to hide
I'm unafraid and so completely real
Oh and never more alive
This life can be so hard to understand
But your eyes oh they see me as I am
And you take me as I am

Baby hold me close never let me go
Never let me go to just be a woman

In My Daughter's Eyes

James Slater

© Green Ivy Music, BMI

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see she was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe in my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light it's in my daugter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me
For I'll be there in my daughter's eyes

Learning To Fall

Odie Blackmon - Bill Deasy

© Big Yellow Dog Music, BMI

I was alone in the dark never let down my guard
Closed the curtain on my heart so the world could not see
All the demons in me told myself I was free
Then you showed me how wrong I could be

Now I'm standing on a mountain of rubble that once was a wall
Took years to build around me and you came along
And you tore it down like it was nothing at all
Now it's a little scary learning to fall

When you looked in my eyes past the fear and false pride
You saw goodness inside I can't believe how I feel
I believe love is real and I'm ready to heal
You show me how right I can be

I was holding on now I'm letting go
I was holding on now I'm letting go
I was holding on now I'm letting go

God's Will

Barry Dean - Tom Douglas

© Tree Pub, BMI

I met God's Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves
It hid the braces on his legs at first

His smile was as bright as the August sun
When he looked at me
As he struggled down the driveway it almost
Made me hurt

Will don't walk too good will don't talk too good
He won't do the things that the other kids do
In our neighborhood

I've been searchin' wonderin' thinkin'
Lost and lookin' all my life
I've been wounded jaded loved and hated
I've wrestled wrong and right
He was a boy without a father and his mother's miracle
I've been readin' writin' prayin' fightin'
I guess I would be still
Yeah that was until I knew God's Will

Will's mom had to work two jobs
We'd watch him when she had to work late
And we'd all laugh like I hadn't laughed
Since I don't know when

Hey Jude was his favorite song at dinner he'd ask to pray
And then he'd pray for everybody in the world but him

Before they moved to California
His mother said they didn't think he'd live
And she said each day that I have him well it's just another gift
And I never got to tell her that the boy showed me the truth
In crayon red on notebook paper he'd written me and God love you

I've been searchin' prayin' wounded jaded
I guess I would be still yeah that was until
I met God's Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves

Over The Rainbow

E.Y. Harburg - Harold Arlen

© Leo Feist Music, ASCAP

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow why then oh why can't I
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow why oh why can't I
