"Pick Me Up On Your Way Down"

"Pick Me Up On Your Way Down"


Once my love was good enough
True happiness we knew
Then fame and fortune came your way
And made a change in you
You'll find your ladder of success
Is not on solid ground
And when it starts to tumble
Pick me up on your way down

[Chorus:]
Pick me up when dreams are shattered
When false friends cannot be found
For you know i'll still be waiting
Pick me up on your way down

You've hit the top, but it won't last
There's just one way to go
The world you've chosen is not real
These things you'll come to know
When folks say they don't know you
And you've lost your final round
When you find that you are lonely
Pick me up on your way down

[Repeat chorus]

"Reckless"

"Reckless"



For stumbling through a mess of dances
For squandering my second chances
For wrecking every dream and breaking everything I’ve ever had
Ooo, yeah

I’m reckless, and senseless
I’ve jumped off the fences
Abandon all the rules
And crashed like a fool
Out of control, so criminal
You could have let me drown
But you reached your hand out and
You met me in the fire
You fanned the flames up higher
Could have left me for dead
But you pulled me from the edge
For loving me
The way you do
I know I’m reckless
But you must be reckless too

For trusting me when I wasn’t worth it
Forgiving me when I didn’t deserve it
For looking in my eyes and seeing the soul inside
Crying, crying, crying

I’m reckless, and senseless
I’ve jumped off the fences
Abandon all the rules
And crashed like a fool
Out of control, so criminal
You could have let me drown
But you reached your hand out and
You met me in the fire
You fanned the flames up higher
Could have left me for dead
But you pulled me from the edge
For loving me
Like you do
I know I’m reckless
But you must be reckless too

Anyone else, would have run, run, run, run
Anyone else, would have been done, done, done, done
Anyone else, would’ve stepped on the gas and drove away so fast and put me in the past
Cause baby

I’m reckless, and senseless
I’ve jumped off the fences
Abandon all the rules
And crashed like a fool
Out of control, so criminal
You could have let me drown
But you reached your hand out and
You met me in the fire
You fanned the flames up higher
Could have left me for dead
But you pulled me from the edge
For loving me
The way you do
I know I’m reckless
But you must be reckless too

"Reluctant Daughter"

"Reluctant Daughter"



Jesus, tell my Father
I want to be His child again
Tell Him what my name is
In case He's forgotten

Tell Him I'm the woman
At the well
Drawing water
And I'm sorry if I've been His
Reluctant daughter

Jesus, tell my angels
To keep me in their prayers
Remind them how I need
To feel them everywhere

Tell 'em I'm ready to drink
Living water
I don't want my angels to think
I'm His
Reluctant daughter

Jesus, tell my Father
I want to come to heaven
Tell Him to shout my name out
So I won't be forgotten

 

[fox69]

"Ride"

"Ride"



Yeah

You wake up from your dreamin' and you don't want to face the day
You can't find a reason to think your world will ever change
You can hide beneath the covers
Or you can run outside, head up high and carry on

Life is a roller coaster ride
Time turns the wheel and love collides
Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky
To shine while you have the chance to shine
Laugh even when you want to cry
Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride

It brings you up slowly then shoots you like a rocket towards the ground
It twists you and it shakes you before it turns you upside down
You can't see what's around the corner
And you can't look back, so just live it up and feel the rush

Life is a roller coaster ride
Time turns the wheel and love collides
Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky
So shine while you have the chance to shine
Laugh even when you want to cry
Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride

Ride, ride, yeah

Oh yeah, shine while you have the chance to shine
Laugh even when you want to cry
Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride

Ride, ride, yeah, yeah

"Safe In The Arms Of Love"

"Safe In The Arms Of Love"



My heart's not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of livin' solitaire
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love

Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high-wire act I know
Someday I'll find a net below

Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want a heart to be forever mine
Want eyes to see me satisfied
Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry
Some day I'm gonna be safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

"Satin Sheets"

"Satin Sheets"



Satin sheets to lie on
Satin pillows to cry on
Still I'm not happy don't you see
Big long Cadillacs, tailor made upon my back
Still I want you to set me free

I've found another man
Who can give more than you can
Though you've given me everything that money can buy
But your money can't hold me tight
Like he does on a long long night
No, you didn't keep me satisfied

Satin sheets to lie on
Satin pillows to cry on
Still I'm not happy don't you see
Big long Cadillacs, tailor made upon my back
Still I want you to set me free

Satin sheets to lie on
Satin pillows to cry on
Still I'm not happy don't you see
Big long Cadillacs, tailor made upon my back
Still I want you to set me free

Satin sheets to lie on.

"She Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"

"She Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"



It's been a while since she heard him say
See you tonight his usual way
There's always some place he's gotta go
Somewhere he needs to be

And it's not the same now when they touch
But she figures he's just working too much
Somehow that makes it all okay
And gets her through another day

She's heard the talk all over town
But she don't wanna believe he's runnin' around
Deep down in her heart she's willing to bet
Oh but she ain't seen nothin' yet

She wouldn't read that heart shaped note
She found in the pocket of his coat
That time in the car she found an earring
You know that doesn't prove a thing

She's heard the talk all over town
But she don't wanna believe he's runnin' around
Deep down in her heart she's willing to bet
Oh but she ain't seen nothin' yet

He's not the same man that she met
Oh but she ain't seen nothin' yet
She thinks it's as bad as it's gonna get
Oh but she ain't seen nothin' yet

"She's A Butterfly"

"She's A Butterfly"


She remembers when she first got her wings
And how she opened up that day
she learned to sing
Then the colors came, erased the
black and white
And her whole world changed
when she realized

[Chorus:]
She's a butterfly, pretty as the crimson sky
Nothing's ever gonna bring her down
And everywhere she goes
Everybody knows she's so glad to be alive
She's a butterfly

Like the purest light in a darkened world
So much hope inside such a lovely girl
You should see her fly, it's almost magical
It makes you wanna cry, she's so beautiful

[Chorus]

God bless the butterfly,
give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
God bless the butterfly,
give her strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground

[Chorus]

God bless the butterfly,
give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
God bless the butterfly,
give her the strenght to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground

"Silent Night"

"Silent Night"



Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born.

Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.

"Silver Bells"

"Silver Bells"


Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be,
Here is what Christmas time means to me.

City sidewalk, busy sidewalks
dressed in holiday style.
In the air there's
a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, people passing,
meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you'll hear:

[Chorus]
Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
soon it will be Christmas day.

City street lights,
even stop lights,
blink a bright red and green,
As the shoppers rush home
with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch,
see the kids bunch,
This is Santa's big scene,
And above all this bustle you'll hear:

[Chorus]
Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
soon it will be Christmas day.
