1. Once in a Lifetime…Mm hmm
I can see it in your eyes
And feel it in your touch
I know that you’re scared
But you’ve never been this loved (mm hmm)
It’s a long shot, baby,
I know it’s true.
But if anyone can make it,
I’m bettin’ on me and you. (mm hmm)
Just keep on moving into me,
I know you’re gonna see
The best is yet to come
And don’t fear it now,
We’re going all the way.
That sun is shining on a brand new day.
It’s a long way down
And it’s a leap of faith
But we’re never giving up
Cuz i know we’ve got a once in a lifetime love
Everybody’s looking
For what we’ve found
Some wait their whole life
And it never comes around. (uu huhh)
So don’t hold back now.
Just let go of all you’ve ever known
You can put your hand in mine.
And don’t fear it now,
We’re going all the way.
That sun is shining on a brand new day.
It’s a long way down
And it’s a leap of faith
But we’re never giving up
Cuz i know we’ve got a once in a lifetime love
I close my eyes and i see you standing right there
Sayin ‘i do’ and they’re throwing the rice in our hair.
Well the first one’s born
And a brother comes along,
And he’s got your smile.
I’ve been looking back on the life we had
I’m still by your side.
So don’t fear it now,
We’re going all the way.
That sun is shining on a brand new day.
It’s a long way down
And it’s a leap of faith
But I’m never givin up
Cuz i know we’ve got a once in a lifetime love. -
2. ShineWinter’s weighing on your shoulders
It’s hanging around a little too long
And I can see it in your eyes
You’ve taken on a load that’s just too strong
Oh, but let me get down to the heart of the matter
Baby, if you want I can make it better now
When the sun is hard to find
When it’s raining in your eyes
When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear
When you just can’t see the light
Baby, I’ll find a way to shine
I’ll find a way to shine
Everybody’s got a cross to carry
Everybody’s got a story they can tell
Ya know you’re not the only one counting on a quarter and wishing well
Woah don’t you sit there with your heart under lock and key
Gimmie one chance baby, I can set you free
When the sun is hard to find
When it’s raining in your eyes
When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear
When you just can’t see the light
Baby, I’ll find a way to shine
I’ll find a way to shine
Sometimes in this life good luck don’t shine like it suppose to do
When there’s no one you can trust and they just keep on giving up on you
Baby, don’t ya know that I won’t ever let ya down
Come on now, wooo
Oh, don’t sit there with your heart under lock and key
Just gimmie one chance and baby, I can set you free
When the sun is hard to find
When it’s raining in your eyes
And the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear
And you just can’t see the light
Baby, I’ll find a way to shine
I’ll find a way to shine
Find a way to shine
Find a way to shine
You know I’ll find a way
Find a way, find a way
Find a way to shine -
3. I Told You SoYou said you needed your space
I wasn’t where you wanted to be
I didn’t stand in your way
I only want you to be happy
And so how surprised am I to see you here tonight
Well, oh, can’t you see that for worse or for better
We’re better together
Please, just come back home
And don’t say that you’re sorry
And I won’t say I told you so
Sometimes in our lives
We get to where we wonder if
The long road that we’re on
Is heading in the same direction
When it comes to you and me
We’re right where I know we should be
Oh, can’t you see that for worse or for better
We’re better together
Please, just come back home
And don’t say that you’re sorry
And I won’t say I told you so
Sometimes it’s like we’re deep in nothing but love
And the slightest thing can grow so foolishly
Remind me, please
Oh, can’t you see that for worse or for better
We’re better together
Please, just come back home
And don’t say that you’re sorry
And I won’t say I told you so
But I told you so
Should have known better
Than to leave me, baby
Should have known better
Than to leave me, darling -
4. I Can't Stop Loving YouSo you’re leaving in the morning on the early train
I could say everything’s alright
And I could pretend to say goodbye
You got your ticket, got your suitcase
You got your leaving smile
I could say that’s the way it goes
I could pretend and you won’t know
That I was lying
Cause I can’t stop loving you
I can’t stop loving you
No, I can’t stop loving you
Though I try
We took a taxi to the station, not a word was said
No, I saw you walk across the road
It may be the last time I don’t know feeling humble
Heard a rumble on the railway tracks
And when I hear that whistle blow
I walked away and you won’t know
That I was crying
Cause I can’t stop loving you
I can’t stop loving you
No, I can’t stop loving you
Though I try, I just can’t stop loving you
No, I can’t stop loving you
I just can’t stop loving you
Why do I try, why do I try
Yeah -
5. Won't Let You DownEverybody says that when it comes to friends
The truest kind are counted on one hand
But take a look around before you hit the ground
The only one you’ll see will be this man
Yeah, I’ll catch you when you fall
Cause I’m the one who loves you
You’ll never wonder if I care, I’ll always be there
Standing there in losing ground
I’m your best friend now and I won’t let you down
No, oh
Yes, I’ve been a fool but I’ve learned what not to do
Don’t take for granted those who keep their faith in you
And if you lose your way on some rainy day
Just look above and I will be the sunshine breaking through
Yeah, I’ll catch you when you fall
Cause I’m the one who loves you
You’ll never wonder if I care, I’ll always be there
Standing there in losing ground
I’m your best friend now and I won’t let you down
And every step along the highway of your life
I’ll be the man standing beside you
Believe me that I will
Don’t forget you came and you saved me
You saved my life
Yeah, I’ll catch you when you fall
Cause I’m the one who loves you
You’ll never wonder if I care, I’ll always be there
Standing there in losing ground
Cause I’m your best friend now
And I won’t let you, I will not let you
I won’t let you down -
6. Faster CarFigaro, figaro
Anytime that you want what you need
Close your eyes and say my name
Call on me and I’ll be there for you
No matter what they say
Rain, hail or shine
I got my eyes right to the sky
Waiting on your sign
Roll the dice and take a chance
A chance on me cause you never can tell
Where a little bit of faith might lead
I got a U-shaped hole inside
I swear it gets deeper by the day
Flicking cigarettes out the window
Going nowhere in this lonely rain
I need a faster car now
A rocket ship straight to the moon
I need a faster way to show you
How much I need you, baby
It’s a crime, it’s a sin
It’s a damn shame but you’re the cause
And you’re the cure of all my pain
There’s never been a better fool for you
I can’t believe my pride
Got me talking to an empty pillow
In the middle of the night
I ain’t slept in quite a while
I need a faster car now
A rocket ship straight to the moon
I need a faster way to show you
How much I need you, baby
I need a faster car now
I’m a rocket man in love with you
I need a faster way to show you
How much ya drive me crazy
Show you how much I need you, baby
And I need you, baby
And it’s alright now -
7. Stupid BoyWell, she was precious like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different
Stupid boy, you can’t fence that in
Stupid boy, it’s like holding back the wind
she let her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice and that’s what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can’t
Stupid boy, stupid boy
Oh
So what made you think you could take a life
And just push it push it around
I guess to build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down
she let her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice and that’s what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can’t
You stupid boy
Oh, you always had to be right but now you’ve lost
The only thing that ever made you feel alive
Yeah, yeah
Well, she let her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
Yes, you did
She never even knew she had a choice and that’s what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can’t
You stupid boy, oh, I’m the same old
Same old stupid boy
It took awhile for her to figure out she could run
But when she did, she was long gone
Long gone, long gone
Ah, she’s gone
Nobody’s ever gonna love me like she loved me
And she loved me, she loved me
God please, just let her know
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
Baby, yeah, I’m down on my knees
She’s never coming back to me -
8. Used to the PainAnd so I wrote this song for you
I think I know just what you’re going through
Did you believe you’d never change
Nothing ever stays the same
I know it’s hard holding on
Even harder trying to let it go
And so you’re frozen like a stone
But you are not alone
Every step I take
I get a little less afraid
Of giving into love
Love, let it out
Believe me when I say
It gets better every day
Once you get used to the pain
What you hide inside I see
There’s a scar that’s always gonna be
There’s a past in everyone
You can’t undo, you can’t outrun
Every step I take
I get a little less afraid
Of giving into love
Love, let it out
Believe me when I say
It gets better every day
Once you get used to the pain
Every step I take
I get a little less afraid
Of giving into love
Love, let it out
Believe me when I say
It gets better every day
Once you get used to the pain
Once you get used to the pain -
9. Raise the BarnOooh, yeah
Ooooh, waaaah
Well, there ain’t no strangers
When you’re swinging a hammer side by side
Oh, had a little setback
Ain’t nothing gonna stop this Southern pride
No, no
So let’s all pull together now boys
Once again this town’s gonna make some noise
We’ll be square dancing, toe tapping
We’ll be clicking out heels to Cotton Eye Joe
The music laughter gonna raise the rafters
A little boot sliding across the floor
Do a little hand holding, hay rolling
Strolling with your honey by your side
Dixie cups and paper plates
Fiddle tunes and amazing grace
Hallelujah, raise the barn tonight
Sing along now, babe
Well, the Lord he was willing but the creek did rise up
Lord have mercy the bossman don’t seem to care
So it’s up to us to gather round, gather round
The stars are shining a little brighter than before
It’s gonna come alive when we swing open the door
We’ll be square dancing, toe tapping
We’ll be clicking out heels to Cotton Eye Joe
The music laughter gonna raise the rafters
A little boot sliding across the floor
Do a little hand holding, hay rolling
Strolling with your honey by your side
Dixie cups and paper plates
Fiddle tunes and amazing grace
Hallelujah, raise the barn tonight
Yes, y’all (Cotton Eye Joe)
So heeve ho, let’s pull together now boys
Once again this town’s gonna make some noise
Everybody make some noise
We’ll be square dancing, toe tapping
We’ll be clicking out heels to Cotton Eye Joe
The music laughter gonna raise the rafters
A little boot sliding across the floor
Do a little hand holding, hay rolling
Strolling with your honey by your side
Dixie cups and paper plates
Fiddle tunes and amazing grace
Hallelujah, raise the barn tonight -
10. God Made WomenIt never ceases to blow my mind
It does it to me everytime
Standing here looking at you
It makes me wonder what he was up to
Was he thinking about me
When he thought about you
When God made woman
He must’ve been proud
He must’ve been crying aloud
Or laughing out loud
Must’ve felt like the first time
Getting kissed by the sun
When God made woman
It must’ve been the most beautiful day
Looking down on all creation
He took a river that winds and turns
He took a fire that breathes and burns
And put it all in place
In the most perfect way
When God made woman
He must’ve been proud
He must’ve been crying aloud
Or laughing out loud
Must’ve felt like the first time
Getting kissed by the sun
When God made woman
When God made woman
He must’ve been proud
He must’ve been crying aloud
Or laughing out loud
Must’ve felt like the first time
Getting kissed by the sun
When God made woman
Let it go -
11. Tu CompañíaSounds real good now
If I could be anywhere with anyone
You know exactly where’d I’d be
Under the covers waiting for the sun to rise
Your head on the pillow next to me
Your feet propped up on that kitchen chair
Morning papers scattered all around you
Coffee brewing on the cast iron stove
And the pleasure of just knowing that your mine
Well, I love the way you look
Love the way you feel
And the way you roll your eyes
At the kisses that I steal
Love the way you stare
When you’re staring right at me
I just love your company
Oh, yes, I do
Arm in arm on some Spring sidewalk day
Laughing just because it feels so right
Wrapped up under the blankets all cozy by the fire
As long as you’re here close enough to touch
Well, I love the way you look
Love the way you feel
And the way you roll your eyes
At the kisses that I steal
Love the way you stare
When you’re staring right at me
I just love your company
Oh, yes, I do
[Spanish woman speaking here]
Well, I love the way you look
Love the way you smell
And I love your pretty eyes
And the lies they never tell
Love the way you stare
When you’re staring right at me
I just love your company
Oh, yes, I do
Oh, here we go now -
12. EverybodySo here you are now, nowhere to turn
It’s just the same old yesterday
And you made a promise to yourself
That you were never gonna be this way
And the only thing that you’ve ever known is to run
So you keep on driving faster into the sun
Cause everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes
Don’t have to find your own way out
You gotta voice, let it be heard
Just when it feels you’re on a dead end road
There’s always somewhere left to turn
So don’t give up now
You’re so close to a brand new day
Yes, you are and if you just can bear to be alone
I’ll stay
Cause everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes
Well, maybe I been too caught up to see
What you’ve been going through and all that I can say is
Oooo, yeah
And everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
A little left to save
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Gotta have someone beside you
Gotta have someone beside you
Yes, ya do, yes, ya do
Everybody, everybody needs somebody sometimes -
13. Got it Right This TimeShe believes in me like I’ve been trying to do
I’m seeing things I’ve never seen before
Ever since she came into my life
I’ve been a better man
Run, run running, I was running scared
Always looking for a place to leave
And I couldn’t seem to find where I belonged
’til she took my hand
We can make this work out, baby
I know it’s true
I can’t picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time
Oh, yeah
All of my life I’ve been looking for someone
Who believes in love the way I do
And I know I’ve made my share of big mistakes
But girl I promise you
We can make this work out, baby
I know it’s true
I can’t picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time
True believers always find each other and here we are
Always knew that you were out there just waiting on me
For me to find my way, find my way to your heart
Oh, yeah
We can make it work out, baby
I know it’s true
Can’t picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time
Yeah, after all the crazy days
Made it through
I can’t picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time
