"Last Night, Ev'ry Night"

"Last Night, Ev'ry Night"



I watch you as you wake and rub your eyes and try to hide them from the morning sun
I whisper how ya doing and you smile and say so tenderly good morning hun

Last night you made his memory fade a little
You helped me see how love can still be right
I wish you didn't have to leave
If you just knew how much I need
Last night, ev'ry night

I know you have to catch a plane to Memphis
And you mentioned it's an early flight
You start to pack
And while I comb my hair
I stare at you and think about last night

Cause last night you made his memory fade a little
You helped me see how love can still be right
I wish you didn't have to leave
If you just knew how much I need
Last night, ev'ry night

I slip into my robe to go make coffee
You come in and pull me close to you
And as I feel your tender kiss
I whisper can't Memphis wait a day or two
Cause last night you made his memory fade a little
You helped me see how love can still be right
I wish you didn't have to leave
If you just knew how much I need
Last night, ev'ry night

Cause last night you made his memory fade a little
You helped me see how love can still be right
I wish you didn't have to leave
If you just knew how much I need
Last night, ev'ry night

"Let The Music Lift You Up"

"Let The Music Lift You Up"



Well you say you're from the city
Chicago is your home
Hey I'm a country girl
Over Oklahoma way
Oh there are miles and miles between us
But that don't mean a thing
When those guitars start to play

Oh sweet sounds of freedom
Ringing through the air
Sending out a message to us all
We don't have a curtain
Made of iron or stone
We are not divided by a wall

So come on tell me
Hey, hey, hey
From L.A. to Broadway
Hey, hey, hey
Let the music lift you up
Hey, hey, hey,
Whoa everybody's singin'
Hey, hey, hey,
Let the music lift you up

When you're feelin' low
Hit that radio
Let the music lift you
Let the music lift you
Up, way up, way up

There are books that tell us
What makes this whole world turn
And how heaven holds the star wars
But there's no explanation
Lord it's still a mystery
How a song can touch your heart

So come on tell me
Hey, hey, hey
From L.A. to Broadway
Hey, hey, hey
Let the music lift you up
Hey, hey, hey,
Whoa everybody's singin'
Hey, hey, hey,
Let the music lift you up

Let the music lift you
Let the music lift you
Up, way up, way up

"Lighter Shade Of Blue"

"Lighter Shade Of Blue"



I guess it finally dawned on me you're gone
Well maybe I can make it on my own
I don't stay up wonderin' if you'll call
And some nights I don't dream of you at all

Your memory's still hurtin' deep inside
That's something I'm still learnin' how to hide
Though this heart of mine has lost an ache or two
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

Lookin' down the line sometimes
I think I see a change
But then I think again and think of you
Here and there I've turned a stone
But the mountain hasn't moved
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

I'm still afraid of turning out the light
And it takes all my strength to face the night
Cause that's the time I face the bitter truth
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

Lookin' down the line sometimes
I think I see a change
But then I think again and think of you
Here and there I've turned a stone
But the mountain hasn't moved
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

"Little Girl"

"Little Girl"



Daddy used to tell me
If I ran too fast I'd fall and hurt myself
But the ice cream man would ring his bell
And I'd get there before anyone else

I'd see a puppy in the window
And I'd run and press my face against the pane
And Daddy'd say slow down girl
After all these years I guess nothing has changed

That little girl I knew
Ran after you
But she fell this time
And broke her heart in two
Hey that's just like a little girl I knew

Back home there stands an old house
With a picket fence beneath a big oak tree
I can almost see the backyard
And a little girl with freckles
That was me

And there were dreams of toys and storybooks and
Lord it seemed I wanted them so bad
Now 20 years have come and gone
And I'm still chasing things that I can't have

That little girl I knew
Ran after you
But she fell this time
And broke her heart in two
Hey that's just like a little girl I knew

Yes, I'm still that little girl

Daddy I still haven't slowed down yet

"Little Rock"

"Little Rock"



Well I'm married to the good life
I said I'd be a good wife
When I put on this ring
I drive a new Mercedes
I play tennis with the ladies
I buy all the finer things
But all that don't mean nothing
When you can't get a good night's loving

Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock

Well I wonder if he'll miss me
He doesn't even kiss me
When he comes home at night
He never calls me honey
But he sure loves his money
And I'm the one who pays the price
But when he finds this ring he'll see
He keeps everything but me

Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock

Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock

"Living Ain't Killed Me Yet"

"Living Ain't Killed Me Yet"



Life will throw you a curve ball
Back against a brick wall
Push you right up to the edge
It'll hit you from your blind side
Kick you in the backside
Barely even break a sweat

It's a roll with the punches
Funny little life we lead
Oh, but I'm in it for the long haul
Win, lose or draw, y'all
It won't get the best of me

Cause I been down to the wire
With my feet to the fire
But this livin' ain't killed me yet
Well I been tested and tried
But I still got some fight
No, this livin' ain't killed me,
Livin' ain't killed me yet

I won't let a couple mistakes
Wrong turns that I've made
Be a noose around my neck
Hurt will hurt if you let it
Unless you just forget it
Shake it off, and say what's next

It's an up down, spin around
crazy kinda world we're in, oh yeah
But I'm in it for the long haul, win, lose or draw
Might fall, but I'll get up again

Cause I been down to the wire
With my feet to the wire
But this livin' ain't killed me yet
Well I been tested and tried
But I still got some fight
No, this livin' ain't killed me,
Livin' ain't killed me yet

Oh, I'm in it for the long haul
Win, lose or draw
As long as I've got air to breathe
Ah, it won't get the best of me!

Cause I been down to the wire
With my feet to the fire
But this livin' ain't killed me yet
I been tested and tried
But I still got some fight
No, this livin' ain't killed me,
Livin' ain't killed me,
livin' ain't killed me oh oh oh yet
Nawww yet.

"Lonely Alone"

"Lonely Alone"



I could stop right here turn this car around.
Walk back through the door put my suitcase down.
Tell you I'm sorry and things would be alright I know.
But it all comes down to the lesser of the two.
Alone by myself or alone with you.
And if I have to be lonely I'd rather be lonely alone.

I'd rather miss someone out on this highway.
Than someone who's sittin' just three feet away.
And I'd rather be fightin' some old memories,
than to wonder if you ever really love me.

I could keep going on like I have all along.
Telling myself that there's nothin' wrong.
But if I have to be lonely I'd rather be lonely alone.

I'd rather miss someone out on this highway.
Than someone who's sittin' just three feet away.
And I'd rather be fightin' some old memories,
than to wonder if you ever really love me.

I don't know what I'll do, I don't know where I'll go.
There's a lot I'm not sure of but
one thing I know. If I have to be lonely,
I'd rather be lonely alone. If I have to be lonely, I'd
rather be lonely alone.

"Long Distance Lover"

"Long Distance Lover"



Then you call me long distance from Memphis
When they said it was you on the line
I said don't come tomorrow
Cause I won't be here
You'd only be wasting your time

I've been your long distance lover
For far too long
But I'm not here to tell you
Who's right or who's wrong
But I know I once loved you
But somehow it seems
That it's all a part of a dream

So don't call me again in the morning
Cause I won't be changing my mind
And the phone will be ringing in my empty room
I ain't leaving nothing behind

I've been your long distance lover
For far too long
The nights are so lonely
Can't keep holding on
And the miles are like mountains
That hide you from me
And it's all a part of a dream

I've been your long distance lover
For far too long
Can't hold on to feelings
When you're so long gone
It all keeps on a changing
And now it just means
That it's all a part of a dream

"Look At The One Who's Been Looking At You"

"Look At The One Who's Been Looking At You"



Aren't you tired of looking
For love you never find
Aren't you tired of playing games

With 20/20 vision
How is your heart so blind
It's all you wanted love to be
Is close enough for you to see

Look at the one who's been looking at you
Look at the one who's love would be true
You might be surprised
At the love that's shining in her eyes
Look at the one who's so easily found
Look at the one and stop looking around
Look at the one who's been looking at you

I'm standing here just hoping
You're gonna look my way
But you're too busy chasing dreams to see

But when the dreams are faded
There's gonna come a day
That I can give you sweet, sweet love
And all the things you're dreaming of

Look at the one who's been looking at you
Look at the one who's love would be true
You might be surprised
At the love that's shining in her eyes
Look at the one who's so easily found
Look at the one and stop looking around
Look at the one who's been looking at you

Look at the one who's been looking at you
Look at the one who's love would be true
You might be surprised
At the love that's shining in her eyes
Look at the one who's so easily found
Look at the one and stop looking around
Look at the one who's been looking at you

"Lookin' For A New Love Story"

"Lookin' For A New Love Story"



All my life I've looked at love as a fairy tale
A woman a man never never land and a storybook ending
Leading roles and my heros upon the silver screen
I played em all but always came up empty
But one of these days I'll be in a movie with 'em

Cause I believe that fantasy
Is one step from reality
For those of us who dream of love
And I believe cause I want to
There's some one man for someone who believes in love
To not give up
Even though you've heard so many say
That's the way the story goes

I'm lookin for a new love story
I'm lookin for a yellow brick road
That'll carry me to his door
I'm lookin for a new love story
Oh one that's never been told before

And I have searched the oceans of many a man's eyes
But I have yet to feel like more than some deserted island
I know a relationship will come for me in time
And I can't wait to see his face on my horizon
Cause one of these days he'll sail into my life

Cause I believe that fantasy
Is one step from reality
For those of us who dream of love
And I believe cause I want to
There's some one man for someone who believes in love
To not give up
Even though you've heard so many say
That's the way the story goes

I'm lookin for a new love story
I'm lookin for a yellow brick road
That'll carry me to his door
I'm lookin for a new love story
Oh one that's never been told before
