"So Magical"

"So Magical"


I was walking down the street
In my blue jeans and my bare feet
I saw old Mrs. Mayo in her garden so high

She got her prize azaleas
And her big ole fat tomatoes
She invited me in to have a piece of her pie

And later on I thought I'd head on down
By the Caley River to the old rope swing
There was a bunch of kids laughin' and jumpin' in
I sat down on the grass and I just watched them play
And all my worries seemed to wash away

[Chorus:]
Oh it's a magical thing
When the sun is shinging down on me
And this is such a beautiful place
Don't wanna miss a minute of today it's
So magical

Tonight I'll go home and write myself a letter
Tell myself to live a little freer and love a little better
Gonna soak it in like there's no tomorrow
And drink up every second like a big ole glass of water

[Chorus]

Oh I feel like I could fly
When I see the world through these eyes

"Some Say I'm Running"

"Some Say I'm Running"



Here I go restless heart
Another lovely misadventure in the dark
All my friends who knew me when
Tell me not to wander down that road again
What they don't know what they can't see
It's being on that road that makes me free
Some say I'm running
I know I'm falling back to you

The water's deep under the bridge
As I pass by our old house upon the ridge
All our sins have washed away
Now all that's left are all the things we didn't say
Oh restless heart you beat so fast
While my mind is telling me that it won't last
Some say I'm running
I know I'm falling back to you

Against the odds I'll roll the dice
I guess my heart has won despite all good advice
So grab your things and come on in
And get to know your children once again
When does a fool stop being a fool?
And since when is love obliged to any rules?
Some say I'm running
I know I'm falling back to you

Let's learn to give let's talk things out
Let's give them someone else to talk about
Some say I'm running
But I know I'm falling back to you

"Still Holding On"

"Still Holding On"



There's something out there left for you
But it's not me
We've reached a point of no return
It's only right I set you free

I know I'll have to turn away
But there's nowhere for my love to go
And there won't come a day
When I won't honor what we've vowed

But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you

We can't deny that this one's
Out of our control
Stronger than the both of us
And bound to take its toll

I can stand the test of time
And as far as I can see
There are no walls that we can't climb
Standin' between you and me

But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you

And there's a place you'll always be
No matter where you are
You're here with me
When the world is turning upside down
Together we can stand our ground

We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you

I'm still holdin' on to you...
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
I'm holdin' on

"Straight To The Bone"

"Straight To The Bone"



I'm starrin' at this empty chair, listenin' for the laughter that went clear up to the ceiling.
It's so long since you were sitting there and now the rust is rustin' and the paint is peelin'
I miss you

I read your letters and I almost break.
They're warm like flannel, I can still smell your after shave.
I don't spend all my time missin' you like this, but when it hits, it hits.

You felt like home, and I feel you now straight to the bone.
I miss you...

This sure can be a lonely place.
I wanna look up and see you there standin' in the doorway.
And I'd give anything to kiss your face and help ya blow out the candles on your next birthday.

You felt like home.
I feel you now, straight to the bone.
I miss you...

I wanna hear you in the kitchen, makin' noise, singin' out a tune at the top of your voice.
I wear these memories, it's a blessing and a curse 'cause when it hurts, it hurts.

You felt like home and I feel you now, straight to the bone.
I miss you... I miss you...

"Strangers"

"Strangers"



Two strangers passing on the sidewalk
Barely brush each other's hand
He says "I'm sorry"
She says "Don't worry"
And that is how it all began

A few short days and night together
And it's like they were meant to be
Lying there with her he softly whispers
Just think what we were so recently

Strangers, strangers
The world greatest lovers
Last week we were strangers

Two strangers passing in the hallway
Barely touch each other's heart
Now they're pretending
Two shadows blending
But they're a million miles apart

Soon she'll be packing up her suitcase
They'll be dividing all the blame
They know how they started
Now empty hearted
They don't have a clue how they became

Strangers, strangers
The world greatest lovers
And now they are strangers
The world's greatest lovers
Have turned into strangers
Strangers, strangers

"Summer Of Love"

"Summer Of Love"



The summer wind was blowin' cold,
But our hearts were still on fire.
The harvest moon was takin' over,
And the long days growin' in time

"Kiss me one more time," you said
"Kiss me so I won't forget,
So I can have this feeling even when you're gone"

I remember how time stood still and how you made me feel
Like you were mine forever, lying there together, that summer of love
Tangled up in a big blue sky, like we could almost fly
And every now and then I wonder if you think about us
And that summer of love, that summer of love

Now and then I get that feeling,
And it pulls me back again.
Back to the night when you were leavin',
Prayin' it would never end.

"Kiss me one more time," you said
"Kiss me like you won't forget it,
Didn't wanna let go, just kept holdin' on

I remember how time stood still and how you made me feel
Like you were mine forever, lying there together, that summer of love
Tangled up in a big blue sky, like we could almost fly
And every now and then I wonder if you think about us
And that summer of love, yeah

The summer wind was blowin' cold,
But our hearts were still on fire.

I remember how time stood still and how you made me feel
Like you were mine forever, lying there together, that summer of love
Tangled up in a big blue sky, like we could almost fly
And every now and then I can't stop thinkin' 'bout us
And that summer of love, that summer of love

"Sunny Side Up"

"Sunny Side Up"



I still get that feeling I felt when I fell in love with my baby
Everytime he makes me smile
I still see the beautiful in your favorite song on the radio
Turn it up and here we go
Look at everything we have
Baby, it ain't so bad

Today everything is sunny side up
I'm hangin' on to happy and pushin' my luck
You're lookin' at a girl whose lookin' at the world
And no matter what
Sunny side up
Sunny side up
Yeah, yeah

It seems like everybody's way too sad
Come on let's lift each other up
Look at all we have
Baby it ain't so bad

Oh, today everything is sunny side up
I'm hangin' on to happy and pushin' my luck
You're lookin' at a girl whose lookin' at the world
And no matter what
Hey, today everything is sunny side up
I'm hangin' on to happy and pushin' my luck
You're lookin' at a girl whose lookin' at the world
And no matter what
Sunny side up
Sunny side up
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, sunny side up

I still get that feeling I felt when I fell in love with my baby
Everytime he makes me smile

"Surrender"

"Surrender"



Baby why did we get into this
If all we’re gonna do is fight
About kids and money and stupid little things
Someone’s always gotta be right
I was just thinking why you were still yelling
That I don’t even hear you anymore
And baby it’s not all your fault
But I’m tired of being a soldier
And this time we’re not goin’ to war

So I’m gonna surrender
Surrender

So I’ll rule out my white flag
If you’ll lay down your arms
And if we can start talking instead of just screaming
Then maybe we can save our hearts
‘Cause nobody’s coming to the rescue
Baby it’s all up to you and me
To find a little compromise,
Find our love among the ruins
And live our lives in peace

We’re gonna have to surrender
I won’t fight anymore
Surrender
I don’t know what we’re fighting for
Surrender
I won’t fight anymore
Surrender
I don’t know what we’re fighting for

I walk through this battle lines
I will cross this great divide
I will, I will, I will, I will
Lay down my pride

Surrender
Baby you know I will
Surrender

Surrender
I won’t fight anymore
Surrender
I don’t know what we’re fighting for
Surrender
I won’t fight anymore
Surrender
I don’t know what we’re fighting for

"Suspicious Minds"
(originally by Elvis Presley)

"Suspicious Minds"
(originally by Elvis Presley)


We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

Here we go again
Asking where I've been
Can't you see these tears are real
I'm crying

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
I've never lied to you

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

"Swingin' Doors"

"Swingin' Doors"



You have worn a path
Right up to my heart
You come in for a while but you don't stay
And I've come to realize
That your promises are lies
To buy you time when you want to get away

You must think my heart has swingin' doors
The way that you keep comin' back and forth
I can feel it's getting close to closing time
And I won't be leavin' my heart open anymore

Well I've heard you're back in town
I suppose you'll come around
When nights are cold and friends are hard to find
You always seem to wait
'Til all the pieces are in place
Then you walk back in and rearrange my life

You must think my heart has swingin' doors
The way that you keep comin' back and forth
And I can feel it's getting close to closing time
And I won't be leavin' my heart open anymore
So if you're walkin' down my street just keep on walkin' by
I'm hangin' out a sign sayin' this well has run dry

You must think my heart has swingin' doors
(You must think my heart has swingin' doors)
The way that you keep comin' back and forth
I can feel it's getting close to closin' time
And I won't be leavin' my heart open anymore
I won't be leavin' my heart open anymore
I won't be leavin' my heart open anymore
