Living
in a Moment
Well the world just lost two lonely
people
The world just lost two broken hearts
The odds were against it but baby
here we are
In our own little place in our own
little corner
This old cold world just got a little
warmer
For the rest of my life I'm gonna
hold you in my arms
Chorus:
And when they carve my stone all
they'll need to write on it
Is once lived a man who got all
he ever wanted
Tell me something who could ask
for more
Then to be living in a moment you
would die for
If I never get rich on what money
can buy
It don't matter to me and I'll tell
you why
I've got it all when I'm holding
you this way
I'll live to love you I'd die to
keep you
Safe inside these arms that need
you
I'll be loving you with the very
last breath I take
Chorus
Bridge:
Ashes to ashes dust into dust
I'll lay beside you forever in love
Last Chorus:
And when they carve my stone all
they'll need to write on it
Is once lived a man who got all
he ever wanted
Tell me something who could ask
for more
Then to be living in a moment
Loving every minute
Tell me something who could ask
for more
Then to be living in a moment you
would die for
Living in a moment
I would die for. (Back

She Wants to
be Wanted Again (Back to Top)
She gets the kids up and off to school
Work's never done till the day is
through
Same old routine over and over again
There's alot of this world she's
never seen
She married young the boy of her
dreams
And to this day that's something
she wouldn't change
But she longs for the way he used
to whisper her name
Chorus:
She wants to be wanted
She knows that she's needed
She wants moonlight and romance
Soft music and a slow dance
She wants him to hold her
Like he's never touched her
That's how love began
She wants to be wanted again
It's Friday night and he's on his
way home
She's made plans for them to be
alone
Took the kids to her mama's they're
gonna spend the night
And she's hoping he'll notice how
her new dress
fits her just right
Chorus
That's how love began
She wants to be wanted again.

I didn't mean to break your window,
I was trying to wake you up
When I saw you out last night, it
hit me like a truck
I tried to call all day at work,
didn't they give you my fax
And I want my goodbye back
Chorus:
I had a momentary, temporary, lack
of self control
I said this, and I said that, I
was really on a roll
It's been downhill ever since my
good sense jumped the track
And I want my goodbye back
My doctor says I'm better now, but
I sill feel the pain
I showed him your picture, he said
man you were insane
He asked me for your number, now
his left eye is black
And I want my goodbye back
Chorus
Yeah I want my goodbye back.
(Back

There's some left over wine in the cupboard
About a half a glass left for the
road
Here's a toast to the time we were
lovers-then I'll go
Should I laugh, or should I cry?
Love you, hate you, live or die?
Chorus:
Is my heart half full or half empty
Is our love like the wine in this
glass
You drink like there's no tomorrow
So sure, it would always last
Will the memories tase sweet as
they linger
Or the bitterness stay on my tongue
Is my heart half full of the love
you gave me
Or my heart half empty cuz your
love is gone
Your bags are all packed in the hallway
The boxes are stacked on the lawn
You kissed me goodbye just like
always
And you're gone
Trembling hands or nerves of steel
Someone tell me what to feel.
Repeat Chorus (Back
to Top)
I pulled on
The highway
Another day for the wanderer
I knew something
Was out there
Around the corner from where we
were
You could have
Cut and run
Straight back to Tennessee
But you stood true
A real rock
And never doubted me
Chorus:
I will be there
Any time you need me to
As much as you believed in me
I'm returning the faith to you
I'm returning the faith to you
You held me
With a sure hand
You gave love every step of the
way
If it takes me
Forever
I'll give back everything that you
gave
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
You saved me, now baby
I wanna do a little something
for you
Repeat Chorus (Back
to Top)
She's one in a million
I've heard that a million times
The odds were less than
Even she'd be mine
How many times does a dream come
true
Come into your life
I can't believe the way she makes
me feel
I have to pinch myself to know it's
real
Chorus:
A touch so soft, a smile so sweet
She's so much like an angel
she's heavenly
She's as perfect as anyone can be
But her heart is only human
Guess that's why she's loving me
She could've had anyone she wanted
But still she wanted me
I do my best to give her what she
needs
I thank my lucky stars above
That I'm the one she loves
So many men will never find their
way
To what I wake up looking forward
to each day
Chorus
Bridge:
God never made a more down to earth
girl
But the love she gives me takes
me
Right out of this world
She's as perfect as anyone can be
But her heart is only human
Guess that's why she's loving me.

It Must
Be Love (Back to Top)
I just dropped her off
I'm thinkin' oh what a night
I oughta be flying
But I'm sittin' here at this green
light
I thought I was in control
Thought I knew where I wanted to
go
She's got me turned inside out
I'm wondering what it's all about
Chorus:
Is she there in your dreams
I don't know, I can't sleep
Is she breaking your heart
Yeah, but isn't it sweet
Does she know how you feel
It's right on the tip of my tongue
Are you walking on air
Well, I'm sure feelin' tall
Does she trouble your mind
It's no trouble at all
Well I don' t know, but something
tells me
It must be love
I just missed my turn
Guess I'm not thinking straight
Oh, and what's with this car
It's driving me back to her place
I'm out here circling around
I've already covered this ground
These feelings just can't be denied
So what I am a trying to decide
Chorus x2
I don't know but something tells
me
Oh, I don't know but something tells
me it must be love (Back to Top)

Hands of a
Working Man (Back to Top)
At the local diner just outside of
town
He comes in a hour early just to
beat the morning crowd
He stares out his window and stirs
his coffee cup
Another day another dollar short
of catchin’ up
Same old job, same old dull routine
In his heart he knows what it brings
A two bedroom house for his family
of three
He’s giving his all makin’ ends
meet
A second hand car a washing machine
They may not have much, but he gets
what they need
With the hands of a working man
Down at the factory standing in line
He waits to punch the time clock,
a million worries on his mind
Oh, Jimmy’s needing braces and Betty’s
needing time
And the problems that he’s facing
they’re all building up inside
Same old job, same old dull routine
But in his heart he knows what it
brings
A two bedroom house for his family
of three
He’s giving his all makin’ ends
meet
A second hand car a washing machine
They may not have much, but he gets
what they need
With the hands of a working man
Same old job, same old dull routine
But in his heart he knows what it
brings
A two bedroom house for his family
of three
He’s giving his all makin’ ends
meet
A second hand car a washing machine
They may not have much, but he gets
what they need
With the hands of a working man

What
Mattered Most (Back to Top)
I thought I knew, the girl so well
If she was sad, I couldn't tell
I missed the point, I missed the
sings
So if she's gone, the fault is mine
I know, I know, a whole lot of little
things
And even though, I could face them
one by one
She would still be gone
Chorus:
Her eyes were blue
Her hair was long
In '64 she was born in Batton Rouge
Her favorite song
Was "In my Life"
I memorized her every move
I knew her books, her car, her clothes
But I paid no attention to what
mattered most
I never asked, she never said
And when she cried I turned my head
She dreamed her dreams behind closed
doors
That made them easy to ignore
I know, I know,
I missed the forest for the trees
All I have to show
When she walked out that door
Are cold facts and nothing more
Repeat Chorus:
Chorus 2:
Her eyes were blue
Her hair was long
In '64 she was born in Batton Rouge
Her father's tall, her mother's
gone
She moved out west when she was
two
The way she laughed, the way she
loved
Oh my God what did I do?

Steam
(Back

Steam....from a summer raindrop
Risin' off the blacktop
I wipe the sweat from my brow
Steam...from my radiator
I'm late and gettin' later
I should be at your place by now
Bank sign says 102
But that ain't nothin' when I'm
next to you
CHORUS:
There's fire in your fingertips
Flames in your touch
Desire in your burnin' lips
I can't get enough
Today was a scorcher but I know
you want better
Tonight when we get together
We're gonna make steam
I dream of you there on the front
steps
Sunnin' in that short dress
Hotter than a Texas heat
Seems I'm never gonna get there
Traffic's goin' nowhere
But when I feel you next to me
Girl there are things that you know
I do
That make my heat index go through
the roof
REPEAT CHORUS
Girl there are things that you know
I do
That make my heat index go through
the roof (Back to Top) |
