"Another Winter Without You"

"Another Winter Without You"


Lookin' at the weatherman on the ten o'clock news
He says that there's another cold front movin' through
A cold rain's fallin' and it's turnin' to snow
I wish that he could tell me something
I don't already know
And I wonder can I weather
Another winter without you

November skies paint the mornin' ghostly gray
Gets dark so early that the nights drag on for days
A window pane rattles from the chilled northern breeze
And the TV stays on all night long
Just to keep me company

[Chorus:]
Got a chill in my bones
No blanket could warm
I could sure use your arms
In the face of this storm
Building fires for one ain't easy to do
And I wonder can I weather
Another winter without you

Spring will bring flowers to brighten up my days
Summer keeps me busy with the walks along the bay
Fall will bring colors with the changin' of the leaves
But I'm sure not lookin' forward
To the first winter freeze

Freezin' like these walls don't exist
Tremblin' at the thought of your kiss
Lonely's been cold but never like this
And I wonder can I weather
Another winter without you

[Chorus]

Yes, I wonder can I weather
One more winter without you

"Autumn's Not That Cold"

"Autumn's Not That Cold"


Back here the leaves are turning
On me, just like you.
Change is full of color,
And it's anything but blue.
I thought that I'd stop living
Without you here to hold.
But I'm just not that lonesome,
And Autumn's not that cold.

That Summer sun was setting
When you set your sights to leave
And I braced myself believing
It would bring me to my knees
Oh, but here it is October
Oh the leaves are turning gold
Each night's a little bluer,
But Autumn's not that cold.

I know before too long
I'll feel the chill that Winter brings
But by then I'll just be looking
Forward to another Spring.

I'm almost feeling guilty
That the hurt's not taking hold.
Guess I'm just not that lonesome.
And Autumn's not that cold.

"Back Among The Living"

"Back Among The Living"


We're finally clearing, it's been one hell of a storm
I don't know what I'm feeling, but I'm not feeling numb anymore
After you left me, I layed down my heart and I died, inside
But in the middle of dying, I found the strength to survive
Now I'm back among the living, finally out of the dark
I've got hope but it's beginning, to heal all of this hurt in my heart
I've got a long way to go, and I still don't know if or when
I'll love again
I still need to mend, but I'm back among the living, again
You're out of my life, but still in my heart and my mind
There's only so much I can change, in so little time
I might even love you as much, as I loved you before, I'm not sure
But I'm living for me now, not dying for you anymore
Now I'm back among the living, finally out of the dark
I've got hope but it's beginning, to heal all of this hurt in my heart
I've got a long way to go, and I still don't know if or when
I'll love again
I still need to mend, but I'm back among the living again
I've got a long way to go, and I still don't know if or when
I'll love again
I still need to mend, but I'm back among the living again

"Back In Your Arms Again"

"Back In Your Arms Again"


I used to do ya like this, do ya like that
This way, that a way anyway but the right way
Was OK, baby
Oh, I guess you had to leave before I could see
That you're the only one with everything I need
But you won't even call me, you won't even talk to me
Come on and talk to me

[Chorus:]
Oh, baby, if I could be back in your arms again
Tell you all the things I should have said back then
I wanna let you know just how wrong I've been
Oh how wrong I've been

Oh, honey, you know if I could just hold you one more time
Tell you all the things that I got on my mind
How could this grown girl be so blind
How could I be so blind

You used to do me so good, do me so right
Every time I need you in the middle of the night
You'd be right there, baby
Oh, I never thought I'd wake up and you'd be gone
If you can find it in your heart to come back home
Honey, if you'd let me I could make it up to you
I'll make it up to you

[Chorus]

I was havin' me a good time
Givin' you a bad line
Every time I got home
But now I'm goin insane
I thought I had a good thing
My good things good as gone

[Chorus x2]

"Be My Reason"
(with Sammy Kershaw)

"Be My Reason"
(with Sammy Kershaw)



Every man needs a reason
To get up in the morning and shave
He needs an incentive
And not just a promotion
With more pain
He needs someone to stand by him
To keep his mind from leaving
I need the same thing too
I need you to be my reason

I need you to be
All of everything to me
To let me know I am alive
Without you by my side
I might as well lay down and die
I don't want to just exist
And ever I taste your kiss
Oh, And keep on breathing
No one else will do
I need you to be my reason

Every woman needs a reason
To paint her lips and do her hair
She needs him to notice
She'll get the feeling he don't care
Someone to send her roses
And everyone knows they're out of season
I need the same thing too
I need you to be my reason

I need you to be,
All of everything to me
To let me know I am alive
Without you by my side
I might as well lay down and die
I don't want to just exist
And ever I taste your kiss
Oh, And keep on breathing
No one else will do
I need you to be my reason

No one else on earth will do
I want you to be my reason

"Behind His Last Goodbye"

"Behind His Last Goodbye"


With a gentle hand he sweeps a strand of hair back from my eyes
And sees me cry
And with a tenderness he'll press his lips to mine and for a while
He holds me tight
And oh he's careful not to close the door behind his last goodbye

He leaves me breathless
and he makes the woman in me come alive
And I'm a fool
who let's him in time and again don't ask me why
While the moments turn to precious memories
The questions go unanswered in my mind
And though he's careful
not to burn the bridge behind his last goodbye

He wonders in and out my life through the shadows like a thief would
In the night
Though he leaves but when he leaves
He leaves more than just a woman satisfied
And though he's careful not to close the door behind his last goodbye

He leaves me breathless and he makes the woman in me come alive
And I'm a fool
who lets him in time and again don't ask me why
While the moments turn to precious memories
The questions go unanswered in my mind
And though he's careful not to burn the bridge behind his last goodbye

With a gentle hand he sweeps a strand of hair back from my eyes
And sees me cry
And with a tenderness he'll press his lips to mine
And against my will he says goodbye

"Best Woman Wins"

"Best Woman Wins"


Who do you think you are
What do you think this is
A game you can play tryin' to steal him away
Well I don't need a heartache like this

Well don't think I don't go through hell
But heaven is what we both want
He's easy to love but he's hard to give up
And if you think I will well you're wrong

The best woman wins I will fight 'til the end
I'll lay down and die if I must
I'll beg and I'll plead I will suffer and bleed
But he must make a choice between us

This soap opera play that we're in
Is just like you watch on t.v.
But I never thought that I'd ever get caught in it
Starring you him and me

In love as in war all is fair
So a fight to the finish begins

When you fight from desire you fight fire with fire
So may the best woman win

The best woman wins I will fight 'til the end
I'll lay down and die if I must
I'll beg and I'll plead I will suffer and bleed
But he must make a choice between us
So may the best woman win

May the best woman win
May the best woman win
I'll never give up or give in
So may the best woman win (best woman win)
The best woman win (best woman win)
The best woman win (best woman win)
I'll never give up or give in
So may the best woman win
May the best woman win
May the best woman win (best woman win)
I'll never give up or give in
So may the best woman win

"Between Midnight And Tomorrow"

"Between Midnight And Tomorrow"


Somewhere between midnight and tomorrow
You'll want to be free of your constant sorrow
I'll offer a bed of roses for your bed of nails
You'll be drawn to my perfume, but the whisky will prevail

Then somewere between midnight and tomorrow
I'll have more trouble then I could ever borrow
You'll stagger and crawl and wind up on your knees
And I'll witness the fall of the man you used to be

And I'll pull off your boots and I'll turn out the lights
And I'll sit by the window but I will not fight
There'll be room for thinkin' in a night that's so hollow
And I'll make up my mind between midnight and tomorrow

So many times I patiently follow
The road that winds between midnigth and tomorrow
But now I'm not sure if it leads anywhere
Cause now I'm not sure if you even cared

And I'll pull off your boots and I'll turn out the lights
And I'll sit by the window but I will not fight
There'll be room for thinkin' in a night that's so hollow
And I'll make up my mind between midnight and tomorrow
And I'll make up my mind between midnight and tomorrow

Somewhere between midnight and tomorrow
I will be free of this constant sorrow

"Bombshell"

"Bombshell"


Well, I finally worked my way up the ladder
Got a whole lot of money but that don't matter
'Cause spring has sprung and we all know what that means

Yeah, bathing suit season's creepin' up like an assassin
Can't help but wonder how I'm gonna fit my
Ask me not what I'm gonna do
It appears to be goin' downhill
And that's hard on a bombshell

Yeah, it used to be fun layin' in the sun
In that little bikini of mine
But now my idea of letting it all hang out
Sure has changed with time
And that's hard on a bombshell

They say real beauty comes from within
But I'm stuck with no lovers and a whole lot of friends
Who say my personality is a perfect ten

I used to get up and just wash my face
But now it's 75 bucks for a dermabrasion
Oh, woe is me it's hard on a bombshell
It's hard on a bombshell

I used to look cool perched up on a stool
With all the boys flockin' around
But now I'm a sucker for a honk from a trucker
Lord, I've learned to love that sound
And that's hard on a bombshell

Hard on a bombshell
Oooh, it's hard on a bombshell

"By My Side"

"By My Side"


There's so much breaking up
Folks who won't fall in love
Put up shells, guard themselves, build walls
And it makes me cry sometimes
'Cause people live lonely lives
They don't want to try
They don't want to live at all

[Chorus:]
But I'm not gonna be afraid
To give up my heart that way
'Cause I need you, I need you by my side
And I'm not gonna say I'm strong
Out here in this world alone
Cause I need you, I need you by my side

And when you find someone
Someone you really love
It makes life easier to bear
But some folks live on their own
Shut themselves in at home
They never find out
What love's all about
'Cause they're scared.

[Repeat Chorus]

'Cause I need you I need you by my side.
