"The Second Time Around"

"The Second Time Around"



Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young

Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around

Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around

"The Spirit Of American"

"The Spirit Of American"



The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
It stretches out across the hills and streams, over every mountain high,
And turns the prairies into fields of dreams
When you reach for lofty places,when you soar through open spaces,
what your heart and soul embraces in the sky.
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies.
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
(Something special in the air).
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies.
That's where freedom flies.

"The Very Thought Of You"
(originally by Ray Noble)

"The Very Thought Of You"
(originally by Ray Noble)



The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish as it may seem
To me that's everything

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

"The Voice Of My Heart"

"The Voice Of My Heart"


Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart
Oh Ooh Ooh

Searchin' my soul, searchin' for somethin'
To find a way to make you believe, yeah
And what can I say, words don't mean nothin'
Oh, what can I do, to prove what I'm feelin' for you
Oh, I could promise you love eternally
Swear you mean the world to me
Tell you over and over, get down on my knees
To hold you and make you believe

[Chorus:]
Gotta get close to you, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms, and listen to the voice of my heart
Baby, the only way you'll know the sound inside my soul
Gotta get close to me, and listen to the voice of my heart

Look into my eyes, don't look behind you
Let me take you where heaven is waiting
Right here in my arms, yeah
I promise this time, real love will find you
Oh, what can I do, to just make this one thing come true
Oh, I would take your heart, into my hands
Shelter you, make you understand
Tell you over and over, you're all that I need
To hold you and make you believe

[Chorus]

Talkin' 'bout some deep emotion
You'll find it when you look in my eyes
Lookin' for some real emotion
Come into my life, come into my arms
Come closer, come closer
It don't mean a thing until I can make you believe

Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart

[Chorus]

(listen to the voice of my heart) Baby
(listen to the voice of my heart)
Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Baby, get close to me

"These Eyes"

"These Eyes"


These eyes, cry every night for you
These arms, they long to hold you again
The hurtin's on me
And I will never be free, no
Gave a promise to me
Then you broke it, and you broke it

These eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
This heart, just could not accept and pretend
The hurtin's on me
I will never be free, no
You took a vow with me
And you spoke it, when you spoke it

[Chorus:]
These eyes, are cryin'
These eyes have seen alot of love
But they're never gonna see another
One like I had with you
[Repeat x2]

These eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
This heart, just could not accept and pretend

[Chorus x2]

These eyes, cry every night for you
These eyes

"They Can't Take That Away From Me"

"They Can't Take That Away From Me"




There are many, many crazy things
That will keep me loving you,
And with your permission
May I list a few?

The way you wear your hat.
The way you sip your tea.
The memory of all that -
No, no - they can't take that away from me.

The way your smile just beams.
The way you sing off-key.
The way you haunt my dreams.
No, no - they can't take that away from me.

We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always,
Always keep the memory of:

The way you hold your knife (do-do-do-do do-do).
The way we danced until three.
The way you've changed my life.
No, no - they can't take that away from me.
No, they can't take that away from me.

"This Is The Time"
(feat. Wynonna Judd)

"This Is The Time"
(feat. Wynonna Judd)



[Michael]
As the years say good-bye
One by one on silent wings they fly
What will last, what is true
That's a lesson I learned lovin' you
This world will find its way somehow
I've got all that I need right here, right now

[Chorus:]
This is the time when the cold winds blow
When the snow falls from Heaven
On the dreamers below
Baby this is the time when I need to know
That your love will always be mine
Baby this is the time, Baby this is the time

[Wynonna]
Sometimes life leads you blind
To the one you've been waiting to find
Sometimes life lets you see
Just how great the gift of love can be
Now the light that fires the brightest stars
Is waiting to shine on this moment of ours

[Chorus]

[Wynonna & Michael]
If life is just a dream, I know within my heart
Just getting closer to you
Is by far the sweetest part
So tell me one thing baby, the one thing I need to know

[Chorus]

"This Is The Way"

"This Is The Way"



Your heart is my need
And I love what it means to succeed
As your fate is my prize
Love you're breathe in me
It's what keeps me alive
Hold on 'till forever is gone
Hold on to whatever it takes
To go on and on and on, oh baby

This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
The love that we make is all in the way that we live
The way that we live

In my dreams I can fly
In your arms, there's no earth, no sky
There's one truth, no lies
There's no distance between us
Just trust in our lives
Hold on 'till forever is gone
Hold on to whatever it takes to go on and on, oh baby

This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
The love that we make is all in the way that we live
The way that we live, the way that we live

In our lives there's so much useless information
The truth is as simple as the air that we breathe
So many souls with the need for human affirmation
You and I choose to believe we are free!

This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
The paths that we take it's all in the way that we live
This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
This is the way that we live

"This River"

"This River"


Oh this river, oh this river runs
Can't take my heart away from you
You are in my soul
Can't tame this love I feel for you
Can't escape what is meant to be
It's endless as the heavens
It's timeless and it's strong
It's faithful as an angel
It's right there right or wrong
There's no end to this emotion
It goes on and on

[Chorus:]
This river runs, this river runs so true
This river runs, this river runs to you
This river's deep as the ocean
Runs on blind emotion
This river runs, oh yeah

You're every beat within my heart
You are in my blood
Nothing could keep me from your arms
Where you are is where I'll always be
As long as there are mountains
And stars still fill the sky
As long as there's forever
I'm right here by your side
There's no end to this emotion
Till the end of time

[Chorus]

This river runs, oh so deep within my soul
And it flows forever
And for the rest of all time
Always be there

[Chorus]
