"Go The Distance"

"Go The Distance"



I have often dreamed of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way if I can be strong
I know every mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime but somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope but I won't lose hope
'Til I go the distance, and my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
'Til I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

I will search the world, I will face its harms
'Til I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"



Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be far away

Here we are in the olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we will all be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

"Hear Me"
(feat. Jim Brickman)

"Hear Me"
(feat. Jim Brickman)



Take these tears, put 'em in a bottle.
Don't let these tears I cry be in vain.
Take these tears, keep them up in heaven.
Water my life with tears like rain

Hear me, hear my words unspoken,
Restore my faith in hoping
Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.

Take this life, turn it into something,
I'm afraid it's just wasting time
Turn this life the sun has ripened, grow it slowly on the vine.
Turn my tears into wine

Hear me, hear my words unspoken,
Restore my faith in hoping
Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.

Turn my tears into wine, turn these tears into wine.
All there's left of me are traces.
Make me stronger in my broken places

Hear me, hear my words unspoken,
Restore my faith in hoping
Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.

Turn these tears into wine, turn my tears into wine
Hear me...

"Hold On, I'm Coming"

"Hold On, I'm Coming"


[Chorus:]
Don't you ever feel sad
Lean on me
When times are bad
When the day comes
And you're down
In a river of trouble
And about to drown

Hold on, I'm comin'
Hold on, I'm comin'

I'm on my way
Your lover
If you get cold, yeah
I will be your cover
Don't have to worry
'Cause I'm here

Hold on, I'm comin'
Hold on, I'm comin'

Reach out to me
For satisfaction
Call my name
For quick reaction baby, yeh

[Chorus]

Hold on, I'm comin'

"Hometown Hero"

"Hometown Hero"


Well alright, you put your heart and your soul on the line
You pay the price, you can leave all your dues behind, yeah
You go spinning your wheels, till just one song makes it right
Live your life on the road, now they call you a star overnight
Overnight, overnight, oh no no

[Chorus:]
Gave it all, for it seemed like ages
Lived the life of a rolling stone
Seen the world from a thousand stages
There ain't no feelin', you've ever known
Like when a hometown boy comes home

This guy's a joker, and this is not the key to your found
And there's always somebody, who thinks he makes a living
From putting you down
You're aware of the odds, just forgetting the chance you must take
When you're bound to a vision, there is no decision to make
No no no

[Chorus]

When he comes home
The road is long and you're on your own
But through it all you know your roots run so deep
Out on the rock and roll highway
You make a promise to bring it back home
And that's one promise, you know ya gotta keep

[Chorus]

But it's never gonna feel like
When a hometown boy comes home
He's a hometown hero

"Hope It's Too Late"

"Hope It's Too Late"



I hope it's too late and you're already too far gone, oh
'Cause my heart aches whenever I'm away too long, oh
'Cause if I miss you even by a minute
I'll lose my whole world and everything in it
I never wanna say goodbye

Baby, 'cause I hope it's too late to change your mind
'Cause I'm never changing mine
And I just gotta say it's gotta be you until the end of time
And I hope it's too late

Turn back, we can't turn back the hands of time, oh
It was over the moment that your eyes met mine and now I find
When I'm with you hours seem like minutes
You're my whole world, everything that's in it
Nobody's gonna say goodbye

Baby, 'cause I hope it's too late to change your mind
'Cause I'm never changing mine
And I just gotta say it's gotta be you until the end of time
And I hope it's too late

Time keeps ticking away
If I'm right here you'll never escape
Baby, 'cause I hope it's too late
I don't wanna say goodbye

Baby, 'cause I hope it's too late to change your mind
'Cause I'm never changing mine
And I just gotta say it's gotta be you until the end of time
And I hope it's too late
Tell me it's too late and you're already too far gone

"Hot Love"

"Hot Love"



I never knew someone who made me
Feel so good before
But I never gave my heart to anyone
Who could hurt me more
And when you promise me that no one else
Will ever take my place
I get the feeling you're just leading me on
And lying right to my face

First you say you want me then you say
You're leaving
I've gotta know if I'm coming or going with you
When ya say you need me
Do you really mean it
Maybe it's true I just wish I could believe it

Hot love ya leave me so cold
But one touch and you've got me
Where ya want me
Hot love ya leave me so cold
I don't know if I'm coming or going
There's no way of knowing with you

Just when I give it up the game
Is through and your heart is mine
I turn around you're up to something new
Ya do it time after time

What's it gonna take to break this circle
I've gotta know am I coming or going with you
And when ya hurt me do ya really mean to
Ya say ya don't I wish I could believe you

Hot love ya leave me so cold
But one touch and you've got me
Where ya want me
Hot love ya leave me so cold
I don't know if I'm coming or going
There's no way of knowing with you

You come on like a fire burning
And I'm lost in the flame
Over and over again

Hot love ya leave me so cold
But one touch and you've got me
Where ya want me
Hot love ya leave me so cold
I don't know if I'm coming or going
There's no way of knowing with you

"How Am I Supposed To Live Without You"

"How Am I Supposed To Live Without You"


I could hardly believe it
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin'
Someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the
plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go

[Chorus:]
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

I didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you
When I build my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much
more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
And I don't wanna face the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
Now that your dream has come true

[Chorus]

"How Can We Be Lovers"

"How Can We Be Lovers"


[Chorus:]
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends
Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends
Tell me how we can be lovers if we can't be,
can't be friends

Look at us now, look at us baby
Still tryin' to work it out
Never get it right
We must be fools, we must be crazy
Whoa, whoa, when there's no
communication
Whao, Whoa, it's a no win situation

[Chorus]

We lie awake, this wall between us
We're just not talking, we got so much to say
Let's break these chains, our love can free us
Whoa, Whoa, ain't it time we started tryin'
Whoa, whoa, gotta stop this love from dying

[Chorus]

Baby, love is tough but we can take it
Baby, times are rough but we can make it
We can work it out

[Chorus]

"I Almost Believed You"

"I Almost Believed You"



You came to me and told me it was over
You assured me you wouldn't need him anymore
But that look upon your face is too familiar
It was long ago, but I've been there before

And this song is like a movie, that we might as well pretend
From the moment as the camera closes in
Just say it one more time with feeling
One more time like you really mean it
The last time you told me you loved me
I almost believed you

If I'd never realized what I was asking for
I'd be confused upon the the presence of your pain
Though your smile cannot disguise the hurt within you
It appears upon the mention of his name

But most of all the strangest thing
It's hard for me to bear
That the words that should be music to my ears

Say it one more time with feeling
One more time like you really mean it
The last time you told me you loved me
I almost believed it

Sometimes I wish that you'd save that line for someone else
Do you want me to believe what you don't believe yourself
Well let's not talk about it now
In my life I've made mistakes
This is just one chance I'll have to take

So let's carry on with the story
Try and shoot the scene again
As the moment that the camera closes in
Just say it one more time with feeling
One more time like you really mean it
The last time you told me that you loved me

I almost believed you (I almost believed you)
Say it one more time (I almost believed you)
One more time with feeling (I almost believed you)
Almost, I almost believed you
One more time with feeling
