Slow Dance More

Pat Bunch - Doug Johnson

© Pat Price Music, BMI

Grady Johnson was a common man
Four children and some bottom land
Early to bed he said well that ain't me
I gotta spend some time with my family

Left to it's own device may becomes June
But children grow up all too soon

So love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth
Trust in God but lock your door
Buy low sell high and slow dance more

Mama Johnson was Grady's wife
She bore his children and she graced his life
Hand in hand and side by side
They worked hard to simplify

Some folks have and some have not
What really counts is what you do with what you've got

So love your neighbor as yourself...

And more I think I understand
What my father's father meant
When he said son what matters most
You can count on just one hand

So love your neighbor as yourself...
Buy low sell high and slow dance more

Buy Me A Rose

Jim Funk - Erik Hickenlooper

© Blue Plate Music, BMI

with Alison Krauss & Billy Dean

He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
Three car garage her own credit cards
He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss goodnight
If he could only read her mind

She'd say buy me a rose call me from work
Open a door for me what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most of my life

Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
She can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
Lately she'd try anything to turn his head
Would it make a difference if she'd say

Buy me a rose call me from work...

And the more that he lives the less that he tries
To show her the love that he holds inside
And the more that she gives the more that he sees
This is the story of you and me

So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
To open the door to a heart that I hurt
And I hoped you noticed this look in my eyes
Cause I'm gonna make things right for the rest of your life
And I'm gonna hold you tonight
Do all those little things for the rest of your life

I Will Remember You

Seamus Egan - Dave Merenda - Sarah McLachlan

© ATV Songs, BMI

I will remember you will you remember me
Don't let your life pass you by weep not for the memories

I'm so tired I can't sleep
Standing on the edge of something much to deep
It's funny how we feel so much and cannot say a word
We're screaming inside but we can't be heard

I will remember you will you remember me...

So afraid to love you more afraid to loose
Clinging to past that doesn't let me choose
Well once there was a darkness a deep and endless night
You gave me everything you gave me light

I will remember you will you remember me...

Remember all the good times that we had
Let them slip away from us and things got bad
Clearly I first saw you smiling in the sun
I want to feel your warmth I want to be the one

I will remember you will you remember me...
I will remember you will you remember me...
Weep not for the memories the memories

Love Don't Live Here Anymore

Eric Kaz - Linda Thompson

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

with Alison Krauss

This is the house that love built
Memories of you are built in each wall
Wanting the seeds still haunt my dreams
Though I've just heard your voice in the hall
The mirrors reflect all the heartache I feel
Smiling photographs don't seem real

Nothing's been moved but everything's changed
Each chair isn't placed just my life's rearranged
The wind cries your name through each window and door
Love don't live here love don't live here anymore

The fire alight still glows a pale blue
The mantle is cruel holding pictures of you
Your scent lingers there in the bed that we shared
The last plant I sent isn't bloomed
These rooms are unkind to play tricks on my mind
I can see how you've lived without me

Nothing's been moved but everything's changed...

She Rides Wild Horses

Bob Corbin - Ted Hewitt

© Bro'n Sis Music, BMI

It's just her and the band and the clean up man
She's countin' up her tips she did alright she says goodnight
She drives home to a three room flat
Checks her machine and she feeds the cat
She's almost asleep before she turns out the light

In her dreams she rides wild horses
And they carry her away on the wind
And they never make a sound as they fly above the ground
Tonight she rides wild horses again

She's fallen in love a time or two
Somehow it always fell through but she's strong she carries on
Her life ain't always gonna be this way
She knows she's gonna shine someday
But for now she'll escape until the dawn

In her dreams she rides wild horses...
In her dreams she rides wild horses...
In her dreams she rides wild horses...
In her dreams she rides wild horses

The Kind Of Fool Love Makes

Michael McDonald - Dave Powelson - Brenda Lee

© Ronbre Music, BMI

Anyone can read the signs or the writing on the wall
It's all right there to see except someone like me
Who can't see the truth at all

It takes a special kind of fool to stand out in the rain
Somewhere in between nothing left to lose
And nothing to be gained

What kind of fool does it take to go on loving alone
Like there's some answer in the ruins
Some silver lining to be found

An even bigger fool might think you would care if my arm breaks
Before the time that I admit I'm just the kind of fool love makes

A wiser one would see nothing's gonna change
There's a time for giving up a time for letting go
To learn from our mistakes

But I keep holding on to hope
In spite of everything I know
What kind of fool

It takes a bigger fool to think
That the dawn will never break
On this day that I admit
I'm just the kind of fool love makes

Lovin' Arms

Tom Jans

© Almo Music, ASCAP

If you could see me now
The one who said that he'd rather roam
The one who said he'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now
Just for a moment if I could really make you mine
Just for awhile turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

I been too long in the wind too long in the rain
Takin' any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains
And lying in you loving arms again

If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere in the lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If I could only hold you now

Ooh I been too long in the wind too long in the rain...
I can almost feel your loving arms again

I Can't Make You Love Me

Mike Reid - Allen Shamblin

© Almo Music, ASCAP

Turn down the lights turn down the bed
Turn down those voices inside my head
Lay down with me tell me no lies
Just hold me close don't patronize don't patronize me

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
And you can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't no you won't
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

I'll close my eyes then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't...

Let It Be Me

Mike Curtis - Pierre Delanoe - Gilbert Becaud

© Leeds Music, ASCAP

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me

Greatest

Don Schlitz

© New Don Music, ASCAP

Little boy in a baseball hat
Stands in the field with his ball and bat
Says I am the greatest player of them all
Put his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up the ball

And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
Swings his bat all the way around
The worlds so still he can hear the sound
The baseball falls to the ground

Now the little boy doesn't say a word
Picks up his ball he is undeterred
Says I am the greatest there has ever been
And he grits his teeth and he tries it again

And the ball goes up and the ball comes down...

He makes no excuses he shows no fear
He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers

Little boy he adjusts his hat
Picks up his ball stares at his bat
Says I am the greatest the game is on the line
And he gives his all one last time

And the ball goes up when the moons so bright
Swings his bat with all his might
And the worlds so still as still can be
And the baseball falls and thats strike three

Now it's suppertime and his mama calls
Little boy starts home with his bat and ball
Says I am the greatest that is a fact
But even I didn't know I could pitch like that

Says I am the greatest that is understood
But even I didn't know I could pitch that good
