I've only heard this song once and dont know who its by...
Last night, I found Paradise.
But it isnt a place.
It's a moment.
And once you find it,
Live in it,
And it will last forever.
Friends, we started out as friends
Friends turned into lovers
Do you remember when
I held you
For the very first time
Love me it is so easy girl
For me to speak my mind
I've said:
I want you
I need you
Oh girl how I believe in you
You're the light that has always seen me through
In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side
Now we see our love has grown
And these have been the sweetest times
That I have ever known
And I know that it will never end,
'Cause every time I look at you,
I fall in love again
I want you (want you)
I need you (need you)
Oh girl how I believe in you (you’re the light)
You're the light (that shines)
That has always seen me through
In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side
Longer than the sun will shine,
Love is a tie that binds, forever, forever
Two hearts are meant to be one love eternally
Together (together), forever, forever
I want you
I need you
Oh girl how I believe in you
You're the light that has always seen me through
In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side
For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
Someone I needed so long
For once unafraid
I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I’ll be strong
For once I can touch
What my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Ooh, ooh, ooh, someone like you
Would ever dream of makin’ my dreams come true
For once in my life
I won’t let sorrow hurt me
Not like it’s hurt me before, oh
For once I have something I know won't desert me
‘Cause I’m not alone anymore
For once I can say
This is mine, you can’t take it
Long as I know I’ve got love I can make it
For once in my life
I’ve got that someone who needs me
Mmm...hmm...hmm...
For once I can say
This is sho’ nuff mine, you can’t take it
Long as I know I’ve got love I can make it
For once in my life
I’ve got that someone who needs me
Oh, yes, he does
I’ve got that someone who needs me
He told me this mornin’ that he needed me
Mmm...mmm...I believe
Oh no, here we go, and there you go again,
When we disagree, you leave when you don't win
Honey, your sidewalk babytalk don't get it with me no more
The next time around the block when you go by my door
Baby, walk on till you're gone away
Walk on till you find someday
Goodbye goes a long, long way
So, so long, walk on
Goodbye, baby cry till you're singing the poor boy blues
This time I don't mind shining your walking shoes
Fresh ink, in the pink, your papers are ready to sign
They'll both be waiting for you when you walk by
Baby, walk on till you're gone away
Walk on till you find someday
Goodbye goes a long, long way
So, so long, walk on
Baby, walk on till you're gone away
Walk on till you find someday
Goodbye goes a long, long way
So, so long, walk on baby
Walk on
THIS CAN’T REALLY BE WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT
LEARNING HOW TO LIVE JUST TO LIVE WITHOUT
THE TRAVESTY’S THE IRONY AND THE IRONY IS YOU
I’VE TRADED IN MY SANCTITY FOR A CHEAPER SHADE OF BLUE
AND AS I SURRENDER TO THIS SUNKEN BED
SO AFFLICTED BY THE TENANT IN MY HEAD
EVEN NOW I WONDER HOW YOU LAY HER DOWN TO SLEEP
WHEN SECRETLY I KNOW IT’S MY SOUL THAT YOU PRAY TO KEEP
BUT WILL YOU REALLY KEEP ME
CHORUS:
(KEEP ME)
ON YOUR PORCH, ON YOUR TONGUE
BEATING IN YOUR CHEST, OR COMING UNDONE
FOLDED NEATLY IN THE COVER OF YOUR FAVORITE BOOK
(KEEP ME)
AT A DISTANCE, IN YOUR MAZE
FUMBLING THROUGH A CONTEMPLATIVE HAZE (KEEP ME)
OR TUCKED AWAY CLANDESTINELY WHERE NO ONE ELSE WILL LOOK
WHERE MY BROKEN SKY REACHES TO YOUR VELVET SEA
WILL YOU KEEP ME
DROWNING IN THE BOTTOM OF THIS EMPTY GLASS
I PRAY GOD IS GOOD AND THAT THIS TOO SHALL PASS
THEN FROM THE ABYSS MAYBE I’LL FIND A SWEET REPRIEVE
WHEN THE ECHO OF YOUR KISS REMINDS ME TO BELIEVE
THAT YOU’LL ALWAYS KEEP ME
CHORUS:
(KEEP ME)
UNDER GOD, OR ON YOUR WALL
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS FOREVER AFTER ALL
OR HEADED SOUTH ON THE BLACKTOP RIBBON WE DESIGNED
(KEEP ME)
THE MANTLE OF INTEGRITY, INVESTING IN
SOMETHING I’LL NEVER SEE (KEEP ME)
AT 30,000 FEET OR IN THE WINDOWS OF YOUR MIND
IN A CORNER OF YOUR HEART UNDER LOCK AND KEY
WILL YOU KEEP ME
KEEP ME (PAGE 2)
BRIDGE:
TRAIPSING ON HALLOWED GROUND
HAS BROUGHT A LIFELONG SENTENCE
NOW LIVING WITHOUT YOUR BREATH TO FILL
MY LUNGS WILL BE MY PENANCE
AND EVEN AS I FEEL I HOPE YOU FEEL IT JUST AS DEEPLY
AND EVEN THOUGH YOU’VE LET ME GO, SAY YOU’LL ALWAYS KEEP ME
SAY YOU’LL ALWAYS KEEP ME
½ CHORUS:
THE MELODY YOU MISCONTRUE
ON THE OCEAN CRASHING INTO YOU
OR WAITING FOR THE MAN YOU’LL NEVER
HAVE THE HEART TO BE
IN THE FERVENT STRAINS OF THE TRAGIC ELEGY
WILL YOU KEEP ME
WILL YOU KEEP ME
WILL YOU KEEP ME
You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild & I'm free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love that I'm feeling for you always will be
You're not this time that I'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live this love that I give
Is gonna be yours till the day that I die -- Oh baby
I'm gonna love you forever, forever & ever amen
As long as old men sit & talk about the weather
As long as old women sit & talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithfull
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever & ever, forever & ever Amen
They say that time takes it's toll on a body
Makes the young girls brown hair turn grey
But honey, I don't care, I'm not in love with your hair
And if it all fell out well I'd love you anyway
They say that time can play tricks on a memory
And people forget things that they knew
But it's easy to see it's happening to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you --- Oh baby
I'm gonna love you forever, forever & ever amen
As long as old men sit & talk about the weather
As long as old women sit & talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithfull
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever & ever, forever & ever Amen
Just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever & ever forever & ever
Forever & ever Forever & ever Amen
While You Loved Me
(Kim Williams/Marty Dodson/Danny Wells)
If I ever write the story of my life
Don’t be suprised if you’re where it begins
Girl, I’d have to dedicate every line on every page
To the memories we made, while you loved me
I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
(I lived) While you loved me
I’d start with chapter one, love innocent and young
As the morning sun on a new day
Even though I know the end, Well I’d do it all again
‘Cause I got a lifetime in, while you loved me
I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
(I lived) While you loved me
I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
(I lived) While you loved me
I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
(I lived) While you loved me
Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say
There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
Chorus:
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what my friends say
And there's a message that I'm sending out, like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance, stop this heartbreak overload
(chorus)
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
(chorus)
Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself
Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, ain't missing you, oh no
No matter what my friends might say, I ain't missing you...
Fearless people,
Careless needle.
Harsh words spoken,
And lives are broken.
Forceful ageing,
Help me I'm fading.
Heaven's waiting,
It's time to move on.
Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
Life carries on... it goes on.
Just say die,
And that would be pessimistic.
In your mind,
We can walk across the water.
Please don't cry,
It's just a prayer for the dying.
I just don't know what's got into me.
Been crossin' that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
...learned...............
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
...burned burned...
I may not know what you're going through,
But time is the space,
Between me and you. (L)
There is a light through that window
...light through that window...
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Life carries on
...on on on...
Ohh!
It goes on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho oh...
I'm crossing that bridge, (L)
With lessons I've learned.... (L)
I'm playing with fire, (L)
And not getting burned.... (L)
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you. (L)
There is a light through that window. (L)
Hold on say yes, while people say no
'Cause life carries on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho on...
It goes on....oh-ee-on,
It goes on.
Whoah.
Whoah.
Life carries on.
When nothing else matters.
When nothing else matters.
I just don't know what's got into me.
It's just a prayer for the dying.
...dying dying dying dying...
Heartbroke Everyday
Written By: (Bill LaBounty/Cam King/Rick Vincent) (BMI)
Why do I do this to myself
Why do I want the one that wants somebody else
Don't you know, I'd get my heartbroke everyday if I could
Why do I always take the fall
I'd rather have you hurtin' me than not have you at all
Don't you know I'd get my heartbroke everyday if I could
If I could
Don't you know I'd get my heartbroke everyday if I could
Another night out with the guys
Waiting for my heart to mend
Then you walk back in my life
And it falls apart again
Ain't no doctor in this world
Gonna cure what's ailing me
I keep aching for you girl
And it's such sweet misery
Why do I do this to myself
Who do I want the one who wants somebody else
Don't you know I'd get my heartbroke everyday if I could
If I could
Don't you know I'd get my heartbroke everyday if I could
Aw, don't you know I'd get my heartbroke everyday if I could
Take it home son
I'd get my heartbroke everyday
I heard this the other day. I forgot how much I like it.
GOD ONLY KNOWS
The Beach Boys
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
This one's for you Whspr.... as if you didn't know... the're all for you...

Title: Unanswered Prayers
Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
In her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
For the gifts in my life
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
Well, the house is a rockin', don't bother knockin'
Yeah, the house is a rockin', don't bother knockin'
If the house is a rockin', don't bother, come on in
Kick off your shoes start losin' the blues
This old house ain't got nothin' to lose
Seen it all for years, start spreadin' the news
We got room on the floor, come on baby shake sumpin' loose
Well, the house is a rockin', don't bother knockin'
Yeah, the house is a rockin', don't bother knockin'
Yeah, the house is a rockin', don't bother come on in
Well, the house is a rockin', don't bother knockin'
Yeah, the house is a rockin', don't bother knockin'
Yeah, the house is a rockin', don't bother come on in
Walkin' up the street you can hear the sound
Of some bad honky tonkers really layin' it down
They've seen it all for years and 'ave got nothin' to lose
So get out on the floor shimmy 'til you shake sumpin' loose
Well, the house is a rockin', don't bother knockin'
Yeah, the house is a rockin', don't bother knockin'
Yeah, the house is a rockin', don't bother come on in
I said the house is a rockin', don't bother come on in
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)
It don't matter to me
If you really feel that
You need sometime to be free
Time to go out searching for yourself
Hoping to find time to go to find
And it don't matter to me
If you take up with someone
Who's better than me
'Cause your happiness is all I want
For you to find peace your piece of mind
Lotta people have an ego hang-up
'Cause they want to be the only one
How many came before it really doesn't matter
Just as long as you're the last
Everybody's moving on and try to find out
What's been missing in the past
And it don't matter to me
If your searching brings you back together with me
'Cause there'll always be
An empty room waiting for you
An open heart waiting for you
Time is on my side
'Cause it don't matter to me
It don't matter to me
The locusts are singing.The Sun is red - It's gotten so late somehow.
There's gonna be trouble. You know what they said.
We should have been home by now. We should have been home by now.
The thunder is rolling. The sky is black.
It's gotten so dark somehow.There's gonna be danger.
God I wish we were back. We should have been home by now. We should have been home by now.
No matter what they tell us. No matter what they do. No matter what they teach us.
What we believe is true. No matter what they call us.
However they attack. No matter where they take us.
We'll find our own way back. I can't deny what I believe.
I can't be what I'm not. I know I'll love forever.
I know - No matter what. If only tears were laughter.If only night was day. If only prayers were answered.
Then we would hear God say:. No matter what they tell you. No matter what they do. No matter what they teach you. What you believe is true. And I will keep you safe and strong. And sheltered from the storm. No matter where it's barren. A dream is being born. No matter who they follow. No matter where they lead. No matter how they judge us. I'll be everyone you need. No matter if the sun don't shine. Or if the skies are blue. No matter what the ending. My life began with you.
I can't deny what I believe. I can't be what I'm not.I know this love's forever. I know. No matter
what. I can't deny what I believe. I can't be what I'm not. I know this love's forever. That's all that matters now. No matter what. The thunder is rolling. The sky is black. It's gotten so dark somehow. There's gonna be danger. God, I wish we were back. We should have been home by now. We should have been home by now.
I Miss My Friend
(Mark Nessler/Tom Shapiro/Tony Martin)
I miss the look of surrender in your eyes
The way your soft brown hair would fall
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love
But baby most of all
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss the colors that you brought into my life
Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes
I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now
Saying it'll be alright
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss those times
I miss those nights
I even miss the silly fights
The making up
The morning talks
And those late afternoon walks
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
Spread A Little Love Around
(Harley Allen/John Wiggins)
Sometimes this crazy world can make us all feel bad
I sit and watch the news and just get mad
We need to stop and smell the roses in the ground
So get out today
Spread a little love around
Talk to a neighbor
Volunteer a favor
Help out a stranger when his car's broke down
Take your wife a kissin'
When your kids talk - listen
It makes a lovely sound
Spread a little love around
You know it don't take to much to make somebody's day
A kind word or tender touch goes a long way
We can change the whole world if we start in our hometown
So get out today
Spread a little love around
Tell your mom you love her
Bear hug your brother
Treat your sister to a night out on the town
Throw the ball for Rover
Wrestle in the clover
Put a smile on that old hound
Spread a little love around
Slap your sweetheart's fanny
Tickle on old granny
Dance with the kids and act like a clown
A little tiny kiss and hug
Everybody needs that stuff
Turn a frown upside down
Spread a little love around
When this world gets you down
Spread a little love around
I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance via the system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration could I need you this much
Oh you're wasting my time
You're just wasting time.
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away.
I made a fire and watching it burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...
Something happens and I'm head over heels.
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away.
And it's my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover.
To let my dear cwazy one know where my thought's are
I'LL STILL BE LOVING YOU
Restless Heart
Changing my life with your love has been so easy for you.
And I'm amazed every day and I'll need you
Till all the mountains are valleys
And every ocean is dry, my love...
CHORUS:
I'll be yours until the sun doesn't shine
Till time stands still, until the winds don't blow.
When today is just a mem'ry to me, I know
I'll still be lovin', I'll still be lovin' you.
I'll still be lovin' you
Never before did I know how loving someone could be
Now I can see you and me for a lifetime
Until the last moon is rising
You'll see the love in my eyes, my love...
CHORUS
I'll still be lovin',
I'll still be lovin',
I'll still be lovin' you.
I'm not quite sure what's goin' on, but all through and all night long,
I've been thinkin' about you,
I've been thinkin' about you.
The look in your eyes when you smile that way,
the sound of your voice sayin' my name.
I've been thinkin' about you,
just keep thinkin' about you.
This single minded fascination I've got,
do you call it love? If you don't then what?
All I know is I don't know what you've done,
and this train of thought ain't about to jump the track that it's on.
In the back of my mind, there's a secret place.
But the whole world knows by the smile on my face,
that I've been thinkin' about you.
Can't stop thinkin' about you.
I know it's crazy, callin' you this late,
When the only thing I wanted to say is that
I've been thinkin' about you,
Oh, just keep thinkin' about you.
Oh, can't stop thinkin about you.
I'm always thinkin' about you...
What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you anytime of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
What I know, I can do
If I give my love now to everyone like you
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make ev'rything succeed
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
What I feel, I can't say
But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
What is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me who am I without you by my side
fade out:
Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me who am I without you by my side
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of you
And turned to the gate
And on my way came
Up with the answers
I scratched my head
And the answers were gone
From hand to hand
Wrist to the elbow
Red blood sand
Could Dad be God
Crosses cross hung
Out like a wet rag
Forgive you why
You hung me out to dry
Maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
But laughing out loud makes it all subside
Holding, I'm holding
I'm still falling
I'm still falling
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of this
And turned to the gate
But on my way
Crack
Lightning and thunder
I hid my head
And the storm slipped away
Well maybe I'm crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all alright
Laughing out loud
From time to time
Minutes and hours
Some move ahead while
Some lag behind
It's like the balloon that
Rise and then vanish
This drop of hope
That falls from his eyes
Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I think of this
And turn to go away
But as I walk
There're voices behind me saying
Sinners sin
Come now and play
