"Evening Up The Odds"

"Evening Up The Odds"


Well I've been looking at the numbers
And it makes me really scared
And I can't help but wonder
How we'll ever get anywhere
Hope can die so young
Long before the race is run

And the odds are, we're all gonna get out heart broken,someday
And the odds are some of our dreams will get left along the way
And every time you hold me close, it's the light against the dark
And here we are, evening up the odds
Evening up the odds

And I want you to tell me
How safe I am with you
And how our hearts together
Can't help but make it through
And for every love that leaves
There's a love that's meant to be

And the odds are, we're all gonna get out heart broken,someday
And the odds are some of our dreams will get left along the way
And every time you hold me close, it's the light against the dark
And here we are, evening up the odds
Evening up the odds

Smile a smile, for every tear that falls
That's not fair but darling after all
Here we are, here we are

And the odds are, we're all gonna get our heart broken,someday
And the odds are some of our dreams will get left along the way
Every time you hold me close, it's the light against the dark
And here we are, evening up the odds
Evening up
Evening up
Evening up the odds

"Except For Monday"

"Except For Monday"


You look surprised, you didn't think you'd see me,
Kickin' up my heels, paintin' up this town,
When you said goodbye,
I learned a couple new dances,
Cast a couple of glances, I'm on a big roll now.

[Chorus:]
Except for Monday, which was never good anyway,
Tuesday, I get a little sideways,
Wednesday, I feel better, just for spite,
Thursday and Friday take too long,
Before I know it, Saturday's gone,
But it's Sunday now
And you can bet that I'm alright.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't always this easy,
Gettin' over you, got a little rough on me,
It didn't take too long, 'til I got it together
And everyday I thank my lucky stars,
You set me free.

Except for Monday, which was never good anyway,
Tuesday, I get a little sideways,
Wednesday, I feel better, just for spite,
Thursday and Friday take too long,
Before I know it, Saturday's gone,
But it's Sunday now
And you can bet that I'm alright.

[Repeat Chorus]

It's Sunday now and everything's alright.

"Exit 99"

"Exit 99"


I charged out on that interstate in a great big huff
The fight we had just made me feel I'd enough
I felt like drivin' anywhere if it left you far behind
And I hated you at exit fifty-nine

I passed the cars I passed the trucks I passed 'em all
Saw you sittin' home just waitin' for my call
My angry heart would not allow an ounce of sympathy
It was could as ice at exit sixty-three

With every passin' mile the question seemed to grow
Who was right and who was wrong and who's to know
My anger turned to sorrow as the tears began to pour
What a tangled mind at exit eighty-four

The city slowly faded into farms and fields
The world took on a different point of view
I loosened up my grip around that steering wheel
And I wondered if you were sorry too

I rolled the window down at exit ninety-one
Felt the cool wind blowin' through my hair
I saw a crimson light embrace a setting sun
And suddenly I wished you were there

I couldn't wait to stop and find a telephone
To call you up and tell you I was comin' home
Funny how a ribboned road can make you change your mind
And I loved you at exit ninety-nine

Funny how a ribboned road can make you change your mind
I knew I loved you at exit ninety-nine

"Faithfully"

"Faithfully"


Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleeping alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever your... faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart ain't easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours... faithfully

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Faithfully,I'm yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours... faithfully

"Far Side Of The Bed"

"Far Side Of The Bed"


All the feeling lived and died
In the miles left between us
And "I love you" doesn't mean much
From the far side of the bed

Now there's time for looking back
And choosing memories for keeping
And I cried as you lay sleeping
On the far side of the bed

There was once a raging bull?
On the far side of the bed
Where just touching was enough
To ease the pain inside my head
Now I can't turn back time
And I can not raise the dead
And love is just a favorite memory
On the far side of the bed

At the close of everyday
There's another day I've missed you
And an empty good night whisper
From the far side of the bed
With all my memories packed away
Like the suitcase I'll be taking
I'll be gone when you awaken
On the far side of the bed

There was once a raging bull?
On the far side of the bed
Where just touching was enough
To ease the pain inside my head
Now I can't turn back the time
And I can not raise the dead
And love is just a favorite memory
On the far side of the bed

"Finishing Touch"

"Finishing Touch"


I've got one more nail to polish
A little red ribbon to add to my hair
He'll be glad he left work early
When he sees what waitin' at the top of the stairs

Silk and satin in his fav'rite colors
"Come and get me" written on my face
Dancin' around in this pretty French apron
I'm gonna do whatever it takes

[Chorus:]
I'm puttin' on the finishin' touch
I want him to know that I love him this much
Gettin' ready for him give me such a rush
Oh I'm puttin' on the finishin' touch

Could've stopped off at the local bakery
Instead I stayed home and iced him a cake
Might even tease him a little
With the tip of my finger, I'll give him a taste

Got a little bottle of perfume
The one he bought me
I know that he likes
It'll leave no doubt when I blow out the candles
That I'm all his for the rest of the night

[Chorus:]
I'm puttin' on the finishin' touch
I want him to know that I love him this much
Gettin' ready for him give me such a rush
Oh I'm puttin' on the finishin' touch

[Chorus]

The finishin' touch

"Five Minutes"

"Five Minutes"


You look so disbelieving
At my suitcase by the door
My taxi's on its' way
I can't take it anymore

Lately you've forgotten
What loving me is about
Well, now you've got five minutes
To figure it out

[CHORUS:]
You've got five minutes
To tell me what I've needed to hear
You've got five minutes
To show me that your really sincere
That's not much time to change my mind
It'll take a miracle no doubt
And you've got five minutes
To figure it out

Now I've got your attention
Here's what I've got to say
You'd better do some talking
'Cause my taxi's on its' way

We used to set the nights on fire
Now everyday is the same
But now you've got five minutes
To kindle the flame

[REPEAT CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
You can start with please don't leave me
And end with I love you
And if you'd only kiss me
The way you used to do
You could see a miracle come true

[REPEAT CHORUS]

[TAG:]
You've still got five minutes
To figure it out

"Fly Me To The Moon"

"Fly Me To The Moon"


Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
I love you

"From Our House To Yours"

"From Our House To Yours"


When I was just a little kid
you became my very best friend
Soon as I had done my chores
I'd beat a path from our house to yours
One Christmas we both asked for bikes
One in red, one blue and white
I'll never forget that magic morn'
My first ride from our house to yours

From our house to yours
Twenty-one mailboxes, twenty-one doors
For ten years or more
It was back and forth from our house to yours

One summer we both had a crush
On a boy who lived down the road from us
He liked me but he liked you more
I watched him go from our house to yours
I remember the day you turned thirteen
Thought you had grown too old for me
But I taught you make-up, you taught me boys
We burned up the phone lines from our house to yours

From our house to yours
Seven numbers, twenty-one doors
For ten years or more
I knew way from our house to yours

I'll never forget that awful day
When the moving van took you away
I cried till my eyes were red and sore
Five hundred miles from our house to yours
It had been a while since you crossed my mind
Then a card in the mailbox at Christmas time
With an evergreen wreath on a red front door
Saying lots of love from our house to yours

From our house to yours
Too many years, too many doors
But for ten years or more
I knew the way from our house to yours

I knew the way from our house to yours

"From This Moment On"

"From This Moment On"


From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
And right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love, I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
I can't wait to live my life with you, I can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing that I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
