Love Is What We Make It

Roger Murrah - Keith Stegall

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Girl we've come a long long way
Too far for us to end this way
Sometimes the cost of love is hard
And we must pay this little give and take

So don't you think if you and I
Were just about and let our hearts decide
Maybe it would all work out in time
So won't you stay please don't go away

Love love is what we make it
We can make it so much better if we try
Love love is what we make it
So let's make it real good this time

Is it too late to change your mind
Or has it gone to fall this time
Won't you hold me just one more time
Let's just say there's a chance for you and me

Love love is what we make it

Twentieth Century Fool

Jim Photoglo - Brian Neary

© WB Music, ASCAP

She was into loving me I was into being free
No one woman was ever going to get me to settle down
I chase a new one every day I let the good ones slip away
Come all dressed up and I got nothing to do

Fallin' in love with the wrong one runnin' away from the strong one
Living my life like I've got something better to do
Lookin' to find me a real love out every night trying to steal love
Chasin' myself like a twentieth century fool

Sweet thing on the boulevard he was rich and she was bored
Her old man's got a big car he can buy her anything
She's looking for a little side romance she took me home and made me dance
She slammed the door never even asked me my name

Fallin' in love with the wrong one runnin' away from the strong one...

Put an end to running around found a girl and we settled down
Plain Jane girl who wanted to start us a family tree
I got the papers yesterday she gets the house I get to pay
Some guy wearing a T-shirt is drinking my beer

Fallin' in love with the wrong one runnin' away from the strong one...

Still Hold On

Kim Carnes - Dave Ellingson - Wendy Waldman - Eric Kaz

© Almo Music, ASCAP

If I told you tonight that I loved you
Would you walk my way
Would you say
Lies I wanted to hear

If I told you tonight that I need you
Would you break my heart
Would you start
Tearin' me down again

I feel so lonely when I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you I can't live without you
But I still hold on I still hold on

If I told you tonight I was leavin'
Would you call my name
Take the blame
Turn it all around again

Cause you know I love you
And it's worth the heartache
We curse the heartbreak we make
But I still hold on

I feel so lonely when I'm with you...

Hey I feel so lonely when I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you I can't live without you
But I still hold on I still hold on

If I told you tonight that I loved you...

If I told you tonight that I need you...

I feel so lonely when I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you I can't live without you
But I still hold on I still hold on

I still hold on I still hold on
Still hold on still hold on

Tie Me To Your Heart Again

Larry Henley - Steve Pippin

© Tree Pub, BMI

Tie me why don't you tie me
Tie me to your heart again
Why don't you try me won't hurt to try me
Let me be your love again

Well I'm sorry I left you crying
And I'm dying to make amends
I'm gonna love you and I still love you
So tie me to your heart again

We gonna make it
Together we can make it shine
And it'll be better better than ever
If we just try it one more time

You better tie me why don't you tie me
Tie me to your heart again
Why don't you try me won't hurt to try me
Let me be your love again

Well I'm sorry I left you crying
And I'm dying to make amends
I'm gonna love you and I still love you
So tie me to your heart again

We can make it we gonna make it
Together we can make it shine
It'll be better better than ever
If we just try it just one more time

Come on tie me come on tie me...
Come on tie me come on tie me...

Maybe In The End

Gene Golden

© Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP

I'm sorry if I have misled you
I never meant to do you wrong
But I would like to find the answers
I've been searching for so very long so long

I know you must be tired of chasing me blues
When happiness is so hard to find
We've been through so many things together
I can see it's hurting you inside

Maybe in the end it all works out
Or maybe in the end it's all wrong
But I know when it's over I'll still love you
We'll be together or I'll be alone

The years have passed and I've become so jaded
I'm leaving all my dreams behind
And now that we are here together
You're the only thing on my mind

Maybe in the end it all works out...
Maybe in the end it all works out...

It Turns Me Inside Out

Jan Crutchfield

© Red Angus Music, BMI

In a way I'm glad it's over
Even though it's gonna hurt me once you're gone
But I can learn to live without you
Give me time and I can make it on my own

Cause lovin' you to me came easy
Now losing you will change my life no doubt
In a way I'm glad it's over
In another way it turns me inside out

In a way I guess it's better
Even though there's nothing good about goodbye
But I know I couldn't hold you
Now you've found your wings and you need room to fly

It's for sure I'm gonna miss you
But I guess that's what goodbye is all about
In a way I'm glad it's over
In another way it turns me inside out

On the one hand I know I'll be better off once you're gone
But I find a lot of heartache on the other
And I can't say I'm looking forward to those nights I'll spend alone
And I wonder will there ever be another

Cause loving you to me came easy...

In a way I'm glad it's over
In another way it turns me inside out

It Happens In The Best Of Dreams

Jerry Wallace - Terry Skinner - Ken Bell

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

Boy meets girl they fall in love
And for awhile they just can't get enough
And love smiles down
But is it really all it seems

They break some rules and tell some lies
And through the tears they say goodbye
And love wears a frown
It happens in the best of dreams

It happens in the best of dreams
The best of lovers know what it means
To see each other fall apart at the seems
It happens in the best of dreams

I met you love was strong
And seemed that dream would live on and on
And love smiled down
And you were all that I could see

But a broken vow and a broken heart
Made all we had completely fall apart
And love turned to stone and love turned us down
It happens in the best of dreams

It happens in the best of dreams...
Happens in the best of dreams...

Love turned us down
It happens in the best of dreams
And love turned us down
It happens in the best of dreams
In the best of dreams

A Stranger In My Place

Kenny Rogers - Kin Vassy

© First Edition Prod, ASCAP

I see the town where we were born I see the place we were raised
I see all the things you wanted that I never gave
I see sadness I see sorrow I see pain in your face
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

I can see now where we quarreled I can see now I was wrong
I can see where you might weaken when I wasn't strong
I see mem'ries of a love gone bad that time cannot erase
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

No one seems to know you quite like I do
No one knows the things that make you cry
Looking back it seems I never showed you
And now I lay alone and wonder why

I can see now where you might grow tired of dreams that don't come true
I can see where I have fallen short of the things I promised you
I can see now through my tear filled eyes no love on your face
I must get used to seein' strangers in my place

Starting Today Starting Over

Johnny Slate - Larry Keith - Jim Hurt

© House Of Gold Music, BMI

You're the first one I thought of but the last one I turn to
I wouldn't bother you but I need help

We were so good back then there must be something loved
You said you'd always stand by me

Can I lean on you now after all that we've been through
Did we throw it all away is it gone
Do you need me somehow is there something I can do
Can we try another way starting today starting over

You used to believe in me the thought of what used to be
I wish you could see how much I've changed

It took a lot of time for me to realize
I just can't make it on my own

Can I lean on you now after all that we've been through...

Born To Love Me

Bob Morrison

© Music City Music, ASCAP

Not many say she's pretty cause they don't realize
That beauty is often hidden from another's eyes
But in the quiet moments her beauty starts to shine
And every night I'm thankful that she's mine that she is mine

'Cause she was born to love me in her gentle way
Born to love me each and every day
Born to love me born to hold me tight
Born to love me every night every night

I learned it doesn't matter what other people see
It's what I feel for her and what she feels for me
She made my life worth living because she's understood
That love is made for giving she's so good she's so good

And she was born to love me in her gentle way...
And she was born to love me in her gentle way...
