"Go On"

"Go On"

Maybe in time
It'll get easier
When there's been enough time
Between us
Right now it seems so hard
To face that we're apart
And to believe one day
We'll put these years behind us

And go on living our lives
Like there's no yesterday
Like there's no hurt
And nothing has gone wrong
Go on living our lives
Like there's no memories
It won't be easy to do
But we gotta go on

There was a time
When ours was a stronger love
Now we find it wasn't strong enough
When the feeling isn't there
And all that's left are tears to share
We can think about the time
Our love was better

We gotta go on living our lives
Like there's no yesterday
Like there's no hurt
And nothing has gone wrong
Go on living our lives
Like there's no memories
It won't be easy to do
But we gotta go on

It won't be easy to do
But we gotta go on

"God Will"

"God Will"

Who keeps on trusting you
When you been cheating
Spending your nights on the town
Who keeps on saying
That she still wants you
When you're through runnin' around
Who keeps on lovin' you
When you been lyin'
Sayin' things that ain't what they seem
Well God does
But I don't
God will
But I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me

God does, but I don't
God will, but I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me

So who says she'll forgive you
Says that she'll miss you
And dream of your sweet memory
Well God does
But I don't
God will
But I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me

God does, but I don't
God will, but I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me

God does, but I don't
God will, but I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me

"Half Over You"

"Half Over You"

I've seen rock bottom
And I've sailed to the top
Now I'm somewhere in between
Believe that it's over
But sometimes still blue
There's no place so lonely
As bein' half over you

And I don't feel much like climbin'
And I don't want to fall
Here in the middle I don't feel much at all
I've almost excepted the fact that we're through
And there's no place so lonely
As being half over you

I wasn't as bad off
When first you were gone
Misery kept me company
Then I remember the heights
We've been to
There's no place so lonely
As being half over you

And I don't feel much like climbin'
And I don't want to fall
Here in the middle I don't feel much at all
I've almost excepted the fact that we're through
And there's no place so lonely
As being half over you

There's no place so lonely
As being half over you...

"Halfway Down"

"Halfway Down"

Raindrops on the treetops
Waiting there to fall
I know how they're feeling
But I'm only, yes I'm only, halfway down

Fighting with the devil
Harder all the time
Sinkin' to his level
But I'm only, yes I'm only, halfway down

Halfway down, just a getting started
Yes I'm beginning on my journey now
But I've only gotten halfway down
Halfway down, just a little bit farther
Well I believe you better catch me now
'Cause I'm only going halfway down

Sippin' shallow water
Sharks out for the kill
Almost hittin' bottom
But I'm only, yes I'm only, halfway down

Halfway down, just a getting started
Yes I'm beginning on my journey now
But I've only gotten halfway down
Halfway down, just a little bit farther
Well I believe you better catch me now
'Cause I'm only going halfway down
Yeah I hope you better catch me now
'Cause I'm only going halfway down
Yes I'm only going halfway down
Yes I'm only going halfway down

"Handful Of Dust"

"Handful Of Dust"

Break us down by our elements
And you might think He failed
We're not copper for one penny or
Even iron for one nail
And a dollar would be plenty
To buy twenty of us
Until true love is added to
These handfuls of dust

Handful of dust, handful of dust
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
True love makes priceless the worthless
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust

However small though our worth may be
When shared between two hearts
Is even more than it would ever be
Measured on its own, apart
And our half what it could be
Is now twice what it was
When true love is added to
These handfuls of dust

Handful of dust, handful of dust
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
True love makes priceless the worthless
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust

Handful of dust, handful of dust
Sums up the richest and poorest of us
True love makes priceless the worthless
Whenever it's added to a handful of dust

"He Thinks I Still Care"
(originally by George Jones)

"He Thinks I Still Care"
(originally by George Jones)

Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I rang his number by mistake today
He thinks I still care

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the memory of him lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy girl I used to be
He thinks I still care

But if he's happy thinkin' I still need him
Then let that silly notion bring him tears
Oh, how could he ever be so foolish?
Oh, where would he get such an idea?

Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I saw him then went all to pieces
He thinks I still care, he thinks I still care

"Here I Am"

"Here I Am"

Don't do it darlin'
Don't you dare look in there
You said you didn't want to see me
But you've been lookin' for me everywhere
And you know that you're gonna find me
If you keep on drinkin' fast
'Cause honey I'm right there waitin' on you
At the bottom of your glass

And here I am
Here I am
In the bourbon and the water
That burn you just like a brand
Here I am

It ain't workin' darlin'
Hard as you may try
You keep hearin' the words you told me
In everyone's goodbye
And you know that you're just one step
From another one being gone
I know I've seen 'em all unravel
I've been watchin' it all along

And here I am
Here I am
In every lie you're hearin'
That burn you just like a brand
Here I am

And honey, I got over you passin' me over
A long time ago
And my pride was stronger when I was younger
Now I'd rather have you to know

That here I am
Here I am
I still carry a flame for you
Burnin' me like a brand
Here I am

"High On Love"

"High On Love"

High on love
And I ain't comin' down
No, I ain't comin' down
Don't you know, I'm high on love
Since you've come around
And I ain't comin' down

Took a long time for me to believe
But I finally got a reprieve
From loneliness, emptiness
And wasting my time
I got lucky one fine day
Heaven must've sent your love my way
And ever since
I've been riding on cloud nine

High on love
And I ain't comin' down
No, I ain't comin' down
No, I ain't comin' down
No, I ain't comin' down
High on love

It's the same old world turning round and around
My feet ain't touching the ground
Up in the sky without a care
Just a couple of angels going nowhere

High on love
And I ain't comin' down
No, I ain't comin' down
Keep on gettin' me high on love
Since you've come around
And I ain't comin' down

No, I ain't comin' down
No, I ain't comin' down
No, no, no, high on love
No, I ain't comin' down
No, I ain't comin' down

"Higher Than The Wall"

"Higher Than The Wall"

There are walls made of paper, an' walls made of stone.
An' some, better made, out of livin' alone.
I built a wall that no-one could break down.
Locked up my heart where it couldn't be found.

You saw past my shackles an' let love unfold.
Showed me the truth from the lies I'd been told.
My heart was a prisoner, like no heart at all.
So your love reached higher than the wall.

Higher than the wall, a thousand feet tall.
High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall.
Yeah, your love reached higher, where it's better an' brighter.
Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall. (Wall, wall.)
Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall.

Now I'm wearin' freedom instead of those chains.
Empty reminders don't cause me no pain.
It's all gone away like the leaves in the Fall.
'Cause your love reached higher than the wall.

Higher than the wall, a thousand feet tall.
High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall.
Yeah, your love reached higher, where it's better an' brighter.
Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall. (Wall, wall.)
Your love reached higher than the wall.

Hey, hey.

"How About You"

"How About You"

When it comes to lovin'
Has it always let you down
Every time you've fallen in
Did someone else fall out
I know about that
That's the only kind of love I've ever had
Ooh I need somethin' to hold on to
How about you

Could ya tell some stories
About stories you've been told
All the lines your heart's been thrown
And all the times it broke
I know about that
I don't wanna go
Through that again oh no
Ooh I need somethin' to hold on to
How about you

Could ya tell some stories
About stories you've been told
All the lines your heart's been thrown
And all the times it broke
I know about that
I don't wanna go
Through that again oh no
Ooh I need somethin' to hold on to
How about you

How about you and me get together
And help each other forget
All the love we went through
To get to the one we ain't had yet
Oh yeah

Ooh I've got a feeling
And if you can feel it to
We won't have to look too hard
To find somebody new

How about that I think you know
Just what I'm getting at
Oh yeah, you know

Ooh I need somethin' to hold on to
How about you

Ooh I need somethin' to hold on to
How about you
How about you
