Jagged Hearts

Chris Lindsey - Stephanie Bentley

© Hope Chest Music, BMI

You say she wounded your heart and it's too tender to touch
Oh baby I know
Words can be sharper than knives and they can cut just as much
Oh baby I know
Just like you I've cried alone in the dark
Know how it feels when your love's ripped apart

Jagged hearts are so hard to heal I know
Feels like it's gonna go on like this forever
Jagged hearts can mend scars can heal and then
It's so amazing when jagged hearts fit together

You feel the ghost of her kiss lingering on your lips
Oh baby I know
Come lay your troubles to rest and let me help you forget
Cause baby I know
Know what it's like when you need to be loved
But it's hard to feel when you're feelin' so good

Jagged hearts are so hard to heal I know...

You can't even tell where we were broken
When we hold each other close
When the pieces fit you know it's

Jagged hearts are so hard to heal I know...
Together together ah ah ah

Jagged hearts are so hard to heal I know...

Space

Kim Patton - Devon O'Day

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

I'm stuck in a concrete canyon traffic jam
Can't part the red light sea I set sail on this asphalt river
Five o'clock rush hour no one's gettin' anywhere
Staring at a billboard of the American dream

I need space stand back and let me breathe
I need air washing over me
I need time to see to feel to be
I can love you more when I'm free

Like a star like an ocean like the branches on a tree
Like a crown like a rocket like an eagle what I need is space space

Well your heart wraps around me like fingers holding tight
And you call it love I fell for a wind chasin' cowboy
The sky was wide open you said we were going for it
Promised me no fences this one went up

I need space stand back and let me breathe...

Like a star like an ocean like the branches on a tree...

Alone makes me wanna be with you
All I want is a chance to miss you

I need space stand back and let me breathe...

Like a star like an ocean like the branches on a tree
Like a crown like a rocket like an eagle what I need
Like a prayer like a motion like a crashing water fall
Like a ship like a secret like a herd all I need is space space
Stand back and let me breathe oh I need space

It Isn't Just Raining

Tony Martin - Mark Nesler - Jennifer Hanson

© Music Of Ever Country, BMI

The first I heard you close in my arms
I was sure that our love could survive any storm
I wish I could say I still felt the same
And what's causing these blues is only the rain

But it isn't just raining it's really coming down
The sun's not just hiding it can't be found
And I'm more then just lonely tonight while you're running round
It isn't just raining it's really coming down

Each time I look out for a sigh this will pass
All I see are tears on my face in the glass
Cause you're out with her and I'm here alone
When you get back this time I'll be gone

Cause it isn't just raining it's really coming down...
It isn't just raining it's really comin' down

Please

Babysitter said seven she's fifteen minutes late
Jimmy's still playing in the bath cold macaroni on his plate
And I still haven't done my hair I hate doin' my hair
It never comes out right

I must have changed my clothes a half a dozen times
Ended up in this little black dress I had to mend the hemline
And now I can't find my shoes I can never find my shoes
God I hate this

Am I nervous am I scared
Is it worth it should I even care
What a tine to have these second thoughts
Man I like this guy I really like him a lot

(Please let him be the right one)
Everything that I've been waiting for
(Please let him be the right one)
And all I've been praying for
(Please please let him be the right one)
Let him be the dad the friend the man
(Please let him be the right one)
Let him cherish me for who I am
(Please let him be the right one)
Let him be the right one

Made it through dinner had a little too much wine
Probably talked too much went on and on about that little boy of mine
But he smiled yeah he really smiled I can't believe he smiled

Oh what a perfect night this has been
Should I say goodbye should I let him in
Calm down girl it's just a kiss I know I know but it's been so long
Since I felt like this

(Please let him be the right one...
(Please let him be the right one...
Let him be the right one

Tryin'

Brett James - Troy Verges

© Songs Of Universal, BMI

In a cloud of dust on a greyhound bus she crossed the cook county line
Slept all the way to Nashville big dreams running through her mind
She said sure as I'm breathing I'm gonna be a big star some day
She was jumping into the deep end on a leap of sweet blind faith

It's about hoping it's about dreaming
It's about never not believing
It's about taking a walk out on the wire
And never looking down
It's about living instead of dying
It's about spreading your wings and flying
Its all about trying oh yeah

It's been six years gone since she left home
And she hasn't made it big yet
Oh but there's no second guessing
Baby she's got no regrets
She still works the late shift down
At the Greasy Spoon Cafe
And when she brings you out your milkshake
Honey well you just might hear her say

It's about hoping it's about dreaming...
It's about hoping it's about dreaming...

It's not whether you win or lose it's getting in the game
Once you set your wings in motion well you'll never be the same

It's about hoping it's about dreaming...

Thunder And Roses

Chris Lindsey - Aimee Mayo - Marv Green

© Golden Wheat Music, BMI

Once I had champagne at sunset breakfast in bed
And I hated myself for what I never felt I couldn't love him
Then I had fire at midnight passion that brought tears to my eyes
It was like a joke I couldn't get enough but he didn't love me

Oh oh oh I wanna know why I can't have both
Someone that soothes my heart and burns my soul
Something I can trust but I can't control
All I need is someone who brings me
Thunder and Roses thunder and Roses

I wanna be safe and warm in a beautiful storm
With somebody who shakes me
And knows how to take me away from this world
Candles that burn all night
A lover that looks into my eyes
A man who loves me
And know how to touch me everywhere

I wanna know why I can't have both...

I wanna know why I can't have both
Someone that soothes my heart and burns my soul
Something I can trust but I can't control
All I need is someone who brings me
All I need is someone who brings me
Thunder and Roses thunder and Roses
Thunder and Roses thunder and Roses

I wanna know I wanna know why I can't have both
I wanna know why I can't have both
That burns my soul

Which Five Years

Craig Wiseman - Lisa Drew

© Almo Music, ASCAP

Another birthday another candle
Sometimes its hard to handle
The sight of twenty-five
Is it me or do the years just fly

And all my friends say you don't look it
They smile and tell me I shouldn't let it get to me
Ah but it gets to me that it gets to me

And I know that the cold hard truth these days
Is that everybody lies about their age
Just four or five years there's nothing to it
But I'm the one who lived through it

So which five years would I lose
Which lessons would I choose to have to learn again
I wonder
Just to seem a little younger
Which memories which loves
Which friends would I give up
And not want back for
All the laughter all the tears
Tell me which five years

Now there's been times when there were some things
If I had a time machine I'd of done em differently
Oh but now I see that I just cant see
What to blame and what to credit
There's just no way you can edit the shadow from the shine
You see it's all so perfectly intertwined
And I've come to the point where I've faced the fact
That it all adds up and I wont subtract
Not a single minute not a single hour
If I had the power

Which five years would I lose
Which lessons would I choose to have to learn again
I wonder
Just to seem a little younger
Which memories which loves
Which friends would I give up
And not trade back for
All the laughter all the tears
Now tell me which five years
Which memories which loves
Which friends would I give up
And not trade back for
All the laughter all the tears
Now tell me which five years

Be A Man

Jeffrey Steele - Chuck Jones

© Songs Of Windswept, BMI

So you think you got it figured out
What a woman desires most
The house the car the ring the bank account
Sense of security you ain't even close
You're talking bout the icing on the cake
You've gotta live live up to the love you make
If you want to know what it really takes

You better be true to me don't fool with me
Don't stray from me don't play with me
Turn away when you're tempted to
And don't lie to me do right by me
Stand beside me when you're feeling weak
Think about your woman and think again
Be a man

Baby I'll give you everything I am
I'll go as far as your wildest dreams
But before you take me take my hand
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Someone who'll love you for all that it's worth
Some one who'll give you a little heaven on earth
And all I'm asking baby in return is

Be true to me don't fool with me
Don't stray from me don't play with me
Turn away when you're tempted to
Don't lie to me do right by me
Stand beside me when you're feeling weak
Think about your woman and think again
Be a man

I don't expect a man to get down on his knees and worship me
But it would be so sweet if I meant that much to somebody
That he would always be

Be true to me don't fool with me
Don't stray from me don't play with me
Turn away when you're tempted to
And don't lie to me do right by me
Stand beside me when you're feeling weak
Think about your woman and think again
Be a man

Off-White

Tammy Hyler - Kim Tribble - Pam Tillis

© Tree Pub, BMI

I've got a scrap book full of pictures white rice frozen in the air
Needin' lots of lace and baby's breath in my hair
Don't wanna say that I was just rehearsing for the new love we have found
Oh but now we know what not to do the second time around

And I'll be wearing off-white but that's alright
This time the hand in hole is gonna last for life
Took a long way 'round to wind up here
After all of the confusion baby it's so clear
When you tell me I look beautiful tonight in off-white

I was just wild child then I didn't know who I was
It said it wasn't her fault at all
You couldn't give till she just gave up
Yeah we had our reservations cause we've seen one forever end
And it took a revelation for us to wanna try again

And I'll be wearing off-white but that's alright...

This has come with a little baggage somethin' borrowed somethin' blue
Drawn together by common sorrow till we stumble on somethin' new
The you and me in me and you and I'll be wearing off-white

After all of the confusion baby it's so clear
When you tell me I look beautiful tonight
Looks like it's time again we fall and get it right
In off-white off-white

I Smile

Leonard Ahlstrom - Eddie Carswell - Russ Lee

© ATV Songs, BMI

Oh yea huh huh

Lost and all alone looking for a reason for being in this crazy world
Trying to go on looking for the answers to the questions
There you were from the moment you appeared everything became so clear
I'm so glad you found me boy

I smile when I think about the way you turned my life around
I smile when I think about the happiness in you I've found
I'm so amazed at what your love has done
And when I think the best is yet to come I smile

Wandering in the dark lost in the confusion
I thought I was losing my mind for sure
I searched with all my heart looking for direction
Something to believe in
There you were
And you were reaching out to me You were everything I needed
I'm so glad you found me boy

I smile when I think about the way you turned my life around...

Cause you've turned all my grey skies to the brightest blue
My life's filled with sunshine and it's all because of you
All because of you
Oh yeah

I smile when I think about the way you turned my life around...
I smile when I think about the way you turned my life around...
La la la ooh ooh yeah

If I Didn't Love You

Tina Arena - Pam Reswick - Steve Werfel

© Reswick Songs, ASCAP

So good
When it's good I wanna spend my whole life lovin' you
But I'm tired
And you don't know how close I've come to leaving you
You try my patience
And you race me to the wire
It takes every ounce of my will and desire
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you like crazy
If I didn't love you baby
As much as I do
I'd just walk out the door I couldn't take it anymore
I wouldn't put up with what you put me through
If I didn't love you
It's hard
But you won't give up till you
Push me to the wall
But I know You're the only one who'll be there for me
When I call (oh yes you will) I can't help believing
That it's worth it somehow
Cause I've worked too damn hard
To wanna give up now
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you like crazy
If I didn't love you baby
As much as I do
I'd just walk out the door I couldn't take it anymore
I wouldn't put up with what you put me through
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you nah if I didn't
If I didn't love you like I do
When you love someone
Nothings black or white
When the riptide runs
There's no wrong or right
I'll sail with you but I'll refuse to drown
So don't you take me down down
Take me down down
Don't you take me down down down
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you I'd walk out that door I don't need it anymore
Need to put up with what you put me through
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you like I do I'd walk out that door
I'm not comin' back no more No more

Waiting On The Wind

Tony Haselden

© Millhouse Music, BMI

with Mel Tillis

In the middle of the meadow
I sit staring at my kite
A ball of string
And a paper dream
That I could not make fly
Then daddy pulled it to the sky
Behind him as he ran
And said girl don't be caught waiting on the wind

The time comes when a young girl wants to leave the nest and fly
I sat there sad and proud and smiled through the tears
And said goodbye
I gave you boosts I gave you wings
And girl I understand
An eagle can't sit waiting on the wind

If you rise for every challenge
If you run to catch your dreams
That star that you keep reaching for
Is closer than it seems
Heaven & Earth reward all those who
Try and try again
And will not be caught waiting on the wind

Whatever strength you find in me
I thank my father for
His wisdom
Faith and courage
Set me on a steady course
And when my sails are empty
Their words lift me up again
And I will not be caught waiting on the wind

If you rise for every challenge
If you run to catch your dreams
That star you keep reaching for
Is closer than it seems
Storms of life may force you to change courses
Now and then
But Never be caught waiting on the wind
Never be caught waiting on the wind
Never be caught waiting on the wind
