"Somewhere Down The Road"

"Somewhere Down The Road"


So much pain and no good reason why
You've cried until the tears run dry
And nothing here can make you understand
The one thing that you held so dear
Is slipping from your hands
And you say

Why, why, why
Does it go this way
Why, why, why
And all I can say is

[Chorus:]
Somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
Somewhere down the road
Though we cannot see it now
Somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers at the end of the road

Yesterday I thought I'd seen it all
I thought I'd climbed the highest wall
Now I see the learning never ends
And all I know to do is keep on walking
Walking 'round the bend, saying

Why, why, why
Does it go this way
Why, why, why
And all I can say is

[Chorus]

Why, why, why
Does it go this way
Why, why, why
And all I can say is
All I know to say now

[Chorus]

"Stay For Awhile"

"Stay For Awhile"


Long time since I've seen your smile
But when I close my eyes
I remember
You were no more than a child
But then so was I
Young and tender

Time carries on
I guess it always will
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still

[Chorus:]
Stay for awhile
Well it's good to see Your smile
And I love your company
Stay for awhile
And remember the days gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be

Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts
Clear summer days
Warm and lazy
Long walks, long talks, after dark
We vowed we'd never forget
Now it's hazy

Time takes its toll
And time alters our view
It would be nice to
Spend some time with you

[Chorus]

"Stepping In Your Shoes"

"Stepping In Your Shoes"


Like it or not
Life is ours for the living
Only one shot
What's the advice you're getting
Work hard in school
Learn the good rule and
Try to make good for you

No one could see
Hanging within the balance
Helpless me
I only want help to hear me
Evil and light
Caught in a fight
They're trying to capture me

But you cared about me now
Now and forever

[Chorus:]
There'll never be anyone
Who can take the place of you
There'll never be anyone
Giving it all to pull me through
There'll never be anyone
Stepping in your shoes

Only through you
Sin on innocent shoulders
Could you undo
Darkness' power to hold us
Once for all time
Choosing to die
I'll never deserve you
And you cared about me now
Now and forever

[Chorus]

"Straight Ahead"

"Straight Ahead"


Day by day, dream by dream
I fight to find the way to go
Every day opens a different door
Every dream shadows the one before
But slowly I can see the way You've made for me

[Chorus:]
Straight ahead I can see your light
Straight ahead through the dark
Straight ahead there's no left or right
Straight ahead to your heart

Carry on through the night
When the road is hard to find
Lying lights tell me to turn around
Lying thoughts tell me I'm lost not found
But feeling I can see You're waiting there for me

[Chorus]

"Sure Enough"

"Sure Enough"


I'm laying it all out on the table
I'm telling you again what I've already told you before
My love is not a soon forgotten fable
My heart is not a box with a lock in a five and dime store

So there's no need to question me and my feelings
Oh, wondering if I am sure
Ask me again and I'll tell you the same
Over and over

[Chorus:]
Sure enough to never want to be without you
Sure enough to stay for good
Sure enough in every little thing about you
Sure enough

Developing the art of collaboration
It's dinner and a movie and a baby or two
Now we are in the midst of a revelation
We're doing what a modern world said we could not do

And even when our love is mellow and aging
Oh, even when we're old and wise
And we know then what we don't know now
Well, I know I'll still be

[Chorus]

"Sweet Will Of God"

"Sweet Will Of God"


My stubborn will at last has yielded
I would be thine and thine alone
And this prayer my lips are bringing
Lord, let in me thy will be done

[Chorus:]
Sweet will of God, unfold me closer
Til I am wholely lost in thee
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
Ti I am wholely lost in thee

I am tired of sin, footsore and weary
The darksome path hath dreary grown
But now a light has risen to cheer me
I find in thee my Star, my sun

[Chorus]

Thy precious will, O conquering Savior
Doth now embrace and compass me
The storms have ceased, my peace a river
My soul a prisoned bird set free

"Takes A Little Time"

"Takes A Little Time"


[Chorus:]
It takes a little time sometimes
To get your feet back on the ground
It takes a little time sometimes
To get the Titanic turned back around
It takes a little time sometimes
But baby you're not going down
It takes more than you've got right now
Give it, give it time

What's this walking through my door
I know I've seen the look before
Sometimes on faces in the street
And sometimes in the mirror looking back at me
You can't fix this pain with money
You can't rush a weary soul
You can't sweep it under the rug now honey
But it don't take a lot to know

[Chorus]

Well it may not be over by morning
But Rome wasn't built in a day
You can name that thing a thousand times
And It won't make it go away
Let me put my arms around you
And hold you while you weep
We've been talking and you know what, I'm sick of this talk
And it's nothing that won't keep

[Chorus]

You can't fix this pain with money
You can't rush a weary soul
You can't sweep it under the rug now honey
But it don't take a lot to know

[Chorus]

"Tennessee Christmas"

"Tennessee Christmas"



Come on weatherman
Give us a forecast snowy white
Can't you hear the prayers
Of every childlike heart tonight
Rockies are callin', Denver snow fallin'
Somebody said it's four feet deep
But it doesn't matter
Give me the laughter
I'm gonna choose to keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well I know there's more snow up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

Every now and then
I get a wanderin' urge to see
Maybe California, maybe tinsel town's for me
There's a parade there
We'd have it made there
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve
Sure sounds exciting, awfully inviting
Still I think I'm gonna keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well they say in L.A.
It's a warm holiday
It's the only place to be
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.

Well I know there's more snow up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

A tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

"That's The Day"

"That's The Day"


There are burdens that I carry everyday
Sometimes they make me want to cry
Hopeless feelings harbored deep inside my heart
And I find it hard to hold my head up high
In the middle of the darkness in my life
I find a strength to carry on
I am holding to a promise Jesus made
And I know it won't be long 'til we'll be gone.

[Chorus:]
In a while we'll be gone
And we won't have to cry anymore
All our sorrows left behind
And that's the day that I am waiting for
And that's the day that I am longing for

If you feel there is no meaning in your life
And it seems you've lost your way
Listen closely to the voice that's deep inside
And remember what the Savior has to say

[Chorus]

In a while we'll be gone
And we won't have to cry anymore
All our sorrows left behind
And that's the day that I am waiting for
And that's the day that I am longing for
And that's the day that I am looking for

"That's What Love Is For"

"That's What Love Is For"


Sometimes we make it harder than it is
We'll take a perfect night
And fill it up with words we don't mean
Dark sides best unseen
And we wonder why we're feeling this way

Sometimes I wonder if we really feel the same
Why we can be unkind
Questioning the strongest of hearts
That's when we must start
Believing in the one thing that has gotten us this far

[Chorus:]
That's what love is for
To help us through it
That's what love is for
Nothing else can do it
Melt our defenses
Bring us back to our senses
Give us strength to try once more
Baby, that's what love is for

Sometimes I see you
And you don't know why I'm there
And I'm washed away by emotions
I hold deep down inside
Getting stronger with time
It's living through the fire
And holding on we find

[Chorus]

Believing in the one thing
That has gotten us this far
That's what love is for
To help us through it
That's what love is for
Nothing else can do it
Round off the edges
Talk us down from the ledges
Give us strength to try once more
Baby, that's what love is for
That's what love is for

That's what love is for
Melt our defenses
Bring us back to our senses
Give us strength to try once more
Baby, that's what love is for
That's what love is for
That's what love is for
That's what love is for
