"If Only"

"If Only"



If only I'd have thought to send you roses
For no reason just to send you roses
And if only I thought to say more often I love you
But I just assumed you knew

And if only I'd have tried a little harder
If only we'd have talked a little more
If only I'd have held you closer
Then maybe I'd be holding you tonight
If only you, if only I
The saddest words are not goodbye
They're if only

If only we hadn't just pretended there was nothing wrong
It might not have ended
If only we'd have given more attention
To the small things
We might have it all today

And if only I'd have tried a little harder
If only we'd have talked a little more
If only I'd have held you closer
Then maybe I'd be holding you tonight
If only you, if only I
The saddest words are not goodbye
They're if only

Instead of silence
There'd been angry words
If we had only listened
We just might have held our hearts

And if only I'd have tried a little harder
If only we'd have talked a little more
If only I'd have held you closer
Then maybe I'd be holding you tonight
If only you, if only I
The saddest words are not goodbye
They're if only

"If You Only Knew"

"If You Only Knew"



So here you are again
Standing at my door
You know I'd understand
Well that's what friends are for

What's he done this time
What did he say
To make you so darn mad
That you're running away
Now you say you want to be like me
Independent and free

But if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonley nights
The empty I love yous
Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home

My life looks good to you
I'm always in control
No one to answer to
But no one there to hold
You see in my eyes you are the lucky one
With loving arms that you can lean upon
I'd give anything I could to say
What you're throwing away

Cause if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonley nights
The empty I love yous
Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home

I know it's hard to face that love ain't perfect everyday
But I know a hundred girls who would gladly take your place

So if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonley nights
The empty I love yous
Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home

You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
If you only knew

"If You See Him / If You See Her"

"If You See Him / If You See Her"



If you see him
Tell him I wish him well
How am I doing?
Well, sometimes is hard to tell
I still miss him more than ever
But please dont say a word
If you see him
If you see him

If you see her
Tell her I'm doing fine
And if you want to
Say that I think of her from time to time
Ask her if she ever wonders
Where we both went wrong
If you see her
If you see her

I still want her
I still need him so
I dont know why we let each other go

If you see her
Tell her the lights still on for her
Nothing's changed
Deep down the fire still burns for him

And even if it takes forever say I'll still be here
If you see him
If you see her
If you see him
If you see her

"Indelibly Blue"

"Indelibly Blue"



Lost in the city
Deserted and cold
Watching the cars passing by
There all going places
That we used to go
And it's driving me out of my mind

And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue

They say when one love is ended
Another is born
That's no consolation to me
Just show me some sunlight
A rose without thorns
And maybe I'll start to believe

And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue
Well just color me blue

Oh all my life
I've waited for one love to make it alright
But now I feel heartaches and tears
Of a sad souvenirs that you left me
Since you left me
I'll just go on a day at a time
Trying in vain to forget you
But time and again you enter my mind
Someday I swear I won't let you

And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue
Cause baby I'm blue

And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue
So just color me blue

"Invisible"

"Invisible"



They met at a party.
He was laughing with his friends.
She captured all of his attention.
Just by walkin' in.
Confident and self-assured he liked her attitude.
And the moment their eyes met.
Every girl in the room became...

Invisible just out of view.
Invisible.
Like a pane of glass he could see right through.
Invisible.

They married in October.
She made a beautiful bride.
His world revolved around her.
They had a picture perfect life.
But when the baby came in August.
Time started spinning like a wheel.
She expected to feel tired.
But she never thought she'd feel...

Invisible just out of view.
Invisible.
Like a pane of glass he could see right through.
Invisible.

'Cause lately he's been overlooking quite a lot.
So tonight in lace and candlelight.
She'll prove to him she's not...

Invisible just out of view.
Invisible.
Like a pane of glass he could see right through.
Invisible.

A love deep inside.
Invisible.
So much more to her than meets the eye.
Invisible.

"Invitation To The Blues"

"Invitation To The Blues"



Well I couldn't sleep last night
Just walked the floor
Don't know how I'll stand this anymore
Lonely all the time since I lost you

Received your invitation to the blues
I don't know why you cause me such pain
I just hope I just never go through this much again
Thanks for sending something I can't use
Received your invitation to the blues

You took the laughter from this world of mine
And thanks to you the sun will never shine
I walk the floor so much I wore out my shoes
I received your invitation to the blues
I don't know why you cause me such pain
I just hope I just never go through this much again
Well lonely me I don't know what to do
Received your invitation to the blues
I don't know why you cause me such pain
I just hope I never go though this much again

Thanks for sending something I can't use
Received you invitation to the blues

"Is It Really Love"

"Is It Really Love"



They say that it's the same the whole world over
That love's the hardest thing to understand
I thought once in love my troubles would blow over
But it seems that's when the heartache just begins

And I remember when you first said that you love me
I tried not to let the words go to my head
The things you said you spoke so sincerely
Somewhere in between the lines of red

Is it really love
Is it really love
Or just my heart playing tricks on me
I fall so easily
Is my heart telling me
That I'm your fool
Or is it really love

This time love's got me feeling so uncertain
My heart's seen all the breaks that it can take
I can't tell you if this is just infatuation
Or another chance to learn from my mistakes

Is it really love
Is it really love
Or just my heart playing tricks on me
I fall so easily
Is my heart telling me
That I'm your fool
Or is it really love

I'm a little bit leary
Of the love 'em and leave 'em behind kind
I'm just a little bit weary
Cause other lovers like messing with my mind
Oh all the time

Is it really love
Is it really love
Or just my heart playing tricks on me
I fall so easily
Is my heart telling me
That I'm your fool
Or is it really love

Am I your fool
Or is it really love

"Is There Life Out There"

"Is There Life Out There"



She married when she was twenty
She thought she was ready
Now she's not so sure
She thought she'd done some living
But now she's just wonderin'
What she's living for
Now she's feeling that there's something more

Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there

She's always lived for tomorrow
She's never learned how
To live for today
She's dyin' to try something foolish
Do something crazy
Or just get away
Something for herself for a change

Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there

There's a place in the sun that she's never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then
She looks out the window and wonders again

Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there

Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there

"It Always Rains On Saturday"

"It Always Rains On Saturday"



On Monday the sun will be shining
On Tuesday the weather was fine
Wednesday and Thursday went by
By Friday the clouds filled the sky

Dismorning I knew it would rain
The moment the telephone rang
I heard your voice and I knew
The sky turned a new shade of blue

And it looks like rain
It always rains on Saturday
The dark clouds came
And the sunny days are gone away
This house feels so cold
It always feels like this when he goes away
There's really nothing new about the rain
It always rains on Saturday

I look into Billy's young smile
And watch him watch Big Bird a while
His daddy will be here by eight
Seems like the sky's turning grey
There's an overnight bag on the stairs
Beside a one eyed teddy bear
I hold Billy and try not to cry
And whisper kiss mommy goodbye

And it looks like rain
It always rains on Saturday
The dark clouds came
And the sunny days are gone away
This house feels so cold
It always feels like this when he goes away
There's really nothing new about the rain
It always rains on Saturday
It always feels like this when Billy goes away

"It Don't Matter"

"It Don't Matter"



We've got a nice little house on a quiet little street
But it don't matter
A two car garage with a new Cherokee
But it don't matter

Cause we don't ever seem to talk anymore
You don't hold me like you did before
We've got everything we wanted and more
But now I know now I see
Nothing matters if you don't love me

We've given twelve precious years of our lives
But it don't matter
And I guess for a while we were both satisfied
But it don't matter

Cause we don't ever seem to talk anymore
You don't hold me like you did before
We've got everything we wanted and more
But now I know now I see
Nothing matters if you don't love me

It wouldn't be easy to walk out tonight
But it don't matter
And I know I would miss you if we said goodbye
But it don't matter it don't matter

Cause we don't ever seem to talk anymore
You don't hold me like you did before
We've got everything we wanted and more
But now I know now I see
Nothing matters if you don't love me
