Before you I was totally lost
And so hopelessly sure I'd end up by myself
I was so unaware there was someone out there
For me who'd love me like nobody else
Then you gave me something that I always wanted
Now I'm giving it all back to you
Darlin' completely
With all of my soul
I was so empty 'till you made me whole
Girl, you complete me
More every day
I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
I did time as a single man year after year
And right when I almost gave up
Way up high on a ledge leaning over the edge
I was mercifully saved by your love
It might take a lifetime
But I know that I'll find the right words to tell you
I'm yours
Darlin' completely
With all of my soul
I was so empty 'till you made me whole
Girl, you complete me
More every day
I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
Oh girl, completely
Couldn't Last A Moment lyrics - Collin Raye
I thought it was over
I thought I could move on
But I was wrong
I woke up last night
Calling your name
Feeling the blame baby
Thought I could quit you but
I still miss your love
What was I thinking
Thinking that I could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone I lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can I make you see
What matters most to me
Girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
You've got every right
To turn and walk away
I can't make you stay
I broke your heart
I wasted so much precious time baby
I see you with your friends
Wearing a smile again
What was I thinking
Thinking that I could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone I lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can I make you see
What matters most to me
Girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
Thought I could quit you
But I still miss your love
What was I thinking
Thinking that I could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone I lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can I make you see
What matters most to me
Girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
Oh girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment
Without you
I thought I could move on
But I was wrong
I woke up last night
Calling your name
Feeling the blame baby
Thought I could quit you but
I still miss your love
What was I thinking
Thinking that I could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone I lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can I make you see
What matters most to me
Girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
You've got every right
To turn and walk away
I can't make you stay
I broke your heart
I wasted so much precious time baby
I see you with your friends
Wearing a smile again
What was I thinking
Thinking that I could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone I lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can I make you see
What matters most to me
Girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
Thought I could quit you
But I still miss your love
What was I thinking
Thinking that I could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone I lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can I make you see
What matters most to me
Girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
Oh girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment
Without you
You Will Always Be Mine lyrics - Collin Raye
I love the way you move
Like moon light on the sea
The way your body calls me
Like a secret melody
The way you start a fire
When you look into my eyes
The way you always love me
Until I'm satisfied
There are moments
When I love you
Beyond the limits of my human heart
I want to hold you
And take care of you
The way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
I don't know how you know
Exactly what I need
I don't how you found
The man I wanna be
I don't how your sweet tears
Make me see clear again
I don't how you know
I don't know how you go everywhere I've been
There are moments
When I love you
Beyond the limits of my human heart
I want to hold you
And take care of you
The way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
The way you start a fire
When you look into my eyes
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
Like moon light on the sea
The way your body calls me
Like a secret melody
The way you start a fire
When you look into my eyes
The way you always love me
Until I'm satisfied
There are moments
When I love you
Beyond the limits of my human heart
I want to hold you
And take care of you
The way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
I don't know how you know
Exactly what I need
I don't how you found
The man I wanna be
I don't how your sweet tears
Make me see clear again
I don't how you know
I don't know how you go everywhere I've been
There are moments
When I love you
Beyond the limits of my human heart
I want to hold you
And take care of you
The way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
The way you start a fire
When you look into my eyes
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
A Long Way To Go lyrics - Collin Raye
When you told me
That we were through
I thought it would be easy
Getting over you
Now I know that it's gonna take some time
'Cause when I come home now
What do I see
So many memories staring at me
I know you left
But you left so much behind
It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
I can't take this anymore
I'm half of what I was before
Ever since I lost my better half
When I close my eyes
You're all I see
You're even walking in my sleep
I wanna cry but then I gotta laugh
It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
It still ain't clear that you ain't here
To hear me babble on
'Cause you've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
If you come back we can start anew
'Cause I'm so miserable without you
It's kind of like you never left at all
It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
That we were through
I thought it would be easy
Getting over you
Now I know that it's gonna take some time
'Cause when I come home now
What do I see
So many memories staring at me
I know you left
But you left so much behind
It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
I can't take this anymore
I'm half of what I was before
Ever since I lost my better half
When I close my eyes
You're all I see
You're even walking in my sleep
I wanna cry but then I gotta laugh
It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
It still ain't clear that you ain't here
To hear me babble on
'Cause you've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
If you come back we can start anew
'Cause I'm so miserable without you
It's kind of like you never left at all
It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
Harder Cards lyrics - Collin Raye
Well the hammer fell down on a forty-four primer
Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight
Wrong or right
She just looked at me as she finished her tale
And her blank expression went another shade pale of grey
There was nothin' to say
In the shadows of her face, I saw the scars
That you get when you live where love is hard
And she said
Don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug off
Until you've walked a mile in my bare feet
'Cause there are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play
Well I put the cuffs on her
And I put her in the car
And I walked in and he was on the floor
Stone dead
Shot in the head
There were whiskey bottles and dope by his chair
And a starving baby with nothin' to wear
But tears
You know, the picture was clear
He had finally pushed her farther than the line
And the badge i wore had lost all of it's shine
Don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug off
Until you've walked a mile in my bare feet
'Cause there are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play
Well I stood there thinkin' how justice was blind
But I didn't see any and I could see just fine
And I made up my mind
So I took the cuffs off her
And I took her back in
I wiped off the gun
And wrapped it in his right hand
Where it should've been
And the morning paper told in black and white
Just another senseless case of suicide
Oh, just a suicide
Oh but don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug off
Until you've walked a mile on my beat
'Cause there are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play
Yeah the hammer fell down on a forty-four primer
Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight
Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight
Wrong or right
She just looked at me as she finished her tale
And her blank expression went another shade pale of grey
There was nothin' to say
In the shadows of her face, I saw the scars
That you get when you live where love is hard
And she said
Don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug off
Until you've walked a mile in my bare feet
'Cause there are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play
Well I put the cuffs on her
And I put her in the car
And I walked in and he was on the floor

Landing In Love lyrics - Collin Raye
Can you feel that rush
Makes the whole world hush
Makes your flesh go flush
You break a sweat
Is your soul on fire
With your hearts desire
Out there on the wire
Without a net
Does it take your breath
Are you scared to death
With one kiss
We'll be risking it all
If we dance this dance
If we take this chance
We'll be landing in love
When we fall
It's an act of God
It's against all odds
And we hold lightening rods
Up in the sky
It's that leap of faith
We all have to take
But hearts don't have to break
When they can fly
Does it take your breath
Are you scared to death
With one kiss
We'll be risking it all
If we dance this dance
If we take this chance
We'll be landing in love
When we fall
If we dance this dance
If we take this chance
We'll be landing in love
One more kiss, one more touch
We'll be landing in love
When we fall
Makes the whole world hush
Makes your flesh go flush
You break a sweat
Is your soul on fire
With your hearts desire
Out there on the wire
Without a net
Does it take your breath
Are you scared to death
With one kiss
We'll be risking it all
If we dance this dance
If we take this chance
We'll be landing in love
When we fall
It's an act of God
It's against all odds
And we hold lightening rods
Up in the sky
It's that leap of faith
We all have to take
But hearts don't have to break
When they can fly
Does it take your breath
Are you scared to death
With one kiss
We'll be risking it all
If we dance this dance
If we take this chance
We'll be landing in love
When we fall
If we dance this dance
If we take this chance
We'll be landing in love
One more kiss, one more touch
We'll be landing in love
When we fall
Loving This Way lyrics - Collin Raye (duet with Bobbie Eakes)
I'm tired of watching me hurt you
I'm tired of being the teardrops on your face
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
I know your every weakness
I can find one in everything you say
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm not the one that you really need
I'm not the one in your dreams
I can see it in your eyes
This ain't the way it should feel
I don't know how we got here
Love's no longer blind
If that's just how it is
Can we go on like this
Oh, baby what do you say
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
I'll set your heart free
And if you're mine
You'll come flying back some day
But I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
Well I'm taking you with me
Like a room in my heart
You will have your place
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm not the one that you really need
I'm not the one in your dreams
I can see it in your eyes
This ain't the way it should feel
I don't know how we got here
Love's no longer blind
If that's just how it is
Can we go on like this
Oh, baby what do you say
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of being the teardrops on your face
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
I know your every weakness
I can find one in everything you say
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm not the one that you really need
I'm not the one in your dreams
I can see it in your eyes
This ain't the way it should feel
I don't know how we got here
Love's no longer blind
If that's just how it is
Can we go on like this
Oh, baby what do you say
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
I'll set your heart free
And if you're mine
You'll come flying back some day
But I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
Well I'm taking you with me
Like a room in my heart
You will have your place
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm not the one that you really need
I'm not the one in your dreams
I can see it in your eyes
This ain't the way it should feel
I don't know how we got here
Love's no longer blind
If that's just how it is
Can we go on like this
Oh, baby what do you say
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
You Still Take Me There lyrics - Collin Raye
In case I haven't told ya lately
Just in case it doesn't show
I'm still enchanted by you baby
And I just wanted you to know
You were the first one
And you'll be the last one
You are the only one, I swear
You took me to heaven
Our first night together
And you still take me there
Whoa I
Just to have you in my arms tonight
Oh, how could I ask for more
You give me hope and strength
You give me life
Your love is all I'm living for
You were the first one
And you'll be the last one
You are the only one, I swear
You took me to heaven
Our first night together
And you still take me there
You take me higher
Than I ever dreamed I'd go
With you I leave the worries
Of this troubled world below
You took me to heaven
Our first night together
And you still take me there
Oh you took me to heaven
Our first night together
And you still take me
Darlin' you still take me
Baby you still take me
There
Just in case it doesn't show
I'm still enchanted by you baby
And I just wanted you to know
You were the first one
And you'll be the last one
You are the only one, I swear
You took me to heaven
Our first night together
And you still take me there
Whoa I
Just to have you in my arms tonight
Oh, how could I ask for more
You give me hope and strength
You give me life
Your love is all I'm living for
You were the first one
And you'll be the last one
You are the only one, I swear
You took me to heaven
Our first night together
And you still take me there
You take me higher
Than I ever dreamed I'd go
With you I leave the worries
Of this troubled world below
You took me to heaven
Our first night together
And you still take me there
Oh you took me to heaven
Our first night together
And you still take me
Darlin' you still take me
Baby you still take me
There
Water And Bridges lyrics - Collin Raye
I was young and so was she
Love didn't stay a mystery for very long
We could do no wrong
Then she called to say
She was late
So we took a little drive upstate
And took care of that
Yeah, we just took care of that
Now I'm looking back on
Some of my decisions
Now that it's much too late to change
How a father could have held his son
If I could undo what's been done
But I guess everyone is living
With water and bridges
My old man
He had it rough
Cause like his daddy
When he drank too much
He'd get mean
And take it out on me
So with angry words
I was gone
And I never even tried to come back home
The night he died
Momma said he apologized
Now I'm looking back on
Some of my decisions
Now that it's much too late to change
How a father could have held his son
If I could undo what's been done
But I guess everyone is living
With water and bridges
We could all go crazy from
The things that only time can numb
I guess that's why everyone is given
Water and bridges
Water and bridges
Love didn't stay a mystery for very long
We could do no wrong
Then she called to say
She was late
So we took a little drive upstate
And took care of that
Yeah, we just took care of that
Now I'm looking back on
Some of my decisions
Now that it's much too late to change
How a father could have held his son
If I could undo what's been done
But I guess everyone is living
With water and bridges
My old man
He had it rough
Cause like his daddy
When he drank too much
He'd get mean
And take it out on me
So with angry words
I was gone
And I never even tried to come back home
The night he died
Momma said he apologized
Now I'm looking back on
Some of my decisions
Now that it's much too late to change
How a father could have held his son
If I could undo what's been done
But I guess everyone is living
With water and bridges
We could all go crazy from
The things that only time can numb
I guess that's why everyone is given
Water and bridges
Water and bridges
She's Gonna Fly lyrics - Collin Raye
This is the woman
Who had all the answers
The one I would lean on
For comfort, for strength
She's never forgotten
One grandchild's birthday
Now she can't remember my name
And it makes me so angry
I shake my fist
And cry out to the heavenly one
Why would you play
Such a cold hearted trick
I thought your job was to love
And the answer came down from above
She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places
Memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings
This is the woman
Who saw things so clearly
The one who could pick out
One crumb on the floor
She saw through a white lie
Saw me through love's eyes
She hardly can see anymore
And it makes me so sad
And it just isn't fair
Why should so much be taken away
But when I cry out
For all that she's lost
I silently hear someone say
She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places
Memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings
And oh, the wonders she'll see
And I know she'll remember
To watch over me
She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places
Memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings
To carry on angel's wings
Who had all the answers
The one I would lean on
For comfort, for strength
She's never forgotten
One grandchild's birthday
Now she can't remember my name
And it makes me so angry
I shake my fist
And cry out to the heavenly one
Why would you play
Such a cold hearted trick
I thought your job was to love
And the answer came down from above
She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places
Memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings
This is the woman
Who saw things so clearly
The one who could pick out
One crumb on the floor
She saw through a white lie
Saw me through love's eyes
She hardly can see anymore
And it makes me so sad
And it just isn't fair
Why should so much be taken away
But when I cry out
For all that she's lost
I silently hear someone say
She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places
Memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings
And oh, the wonders she'll see
And I know she'll remember
To watch over me
She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places
Memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings
To carry on angel's wings
Counting Sheep lyrics - Collin Raye
I’m counting the cracks on the wall by my bed
‘Cause I can’t get to sleep
And my mother said
To try counting sheep as they’re jumpin’ the fence
But the fence has a hole
And the sheep snuck out
Their tails are wagging
Back and forth in celebration
Farmer Sam is calling out their names
But he’s yelling to loud and I can’t get to sleep
And it’s all on account
Of those runaway sheep
Now they’re out in the woods eating ice-cream and cake
Dancing ‘round and around
That’s why I’m awake
Unless I’m dreaming
This is all to silly to be really happening
They’ve all got party hats
Every one of those sheep has a bell on it’s neck
Going ring-a-ding-ding
I’m a nervous wreck
They’re ringing so loud
Tell me why it won’t stop
A familiar sound
Just like my alarm clock
Hey no wonder
I can hear Mom say good morning
Time for breakfast
Tell me what you dreamed
‘Cause I can’t get to sleep
And my mother said
To try counting sheep as they’re jumpin’ the fence
But the fence has a hole
And the sheep snuck out
Their tails are wagging
Back and forth in celebration
Farmer Sam is calling out their names
But he’s yelling to loud and I can’t get to sleep
And it’s all on account
Of those runaway sheep
Now they’re out in the woods eating ice-cream and cake
Dancing ‘round and around
That’s why I’m awake
Unless I’m dreaming
This is all to silly to be really happening
They’ve all got party hats
Every one of those sheep has a bell on it’s neck
Going ring-a-ding-ding
I’m a nervous wreck
They’re ringing so loud
Tell me why it won’t stop
A familiar sound
Just like my alarm clock
Hey no wonder
I can hear Mom say good morning
Time for breakfast
Tell me what you dreamed

I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you
Hey jelly bean, hey belly botton
You ain’t gonna have to worry ‘bout nothin’
I’ll be there to take good care of you
I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you
Blackbird lyrics - Collin Raye
Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of a dark, black night
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of a dark, black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of a dark, black night
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of a dark, black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
A Mother And Father's Prayer lyrics - Collin Raye
I know you’re listening as I lay me down to sleep
It’s not for me I ask, but my children’s souls to keep
It seems the world is going crazy
And though I need to do my share
Could you please take them under wing
Watch over them especially
Keeping them safe from everything
This is a mother’s prayer
I know you’re listening in the silence of the night
The news is blistering but I hold on to your light
And though there’s darkness all around us
By my faith I know you’re there
Give me the strength to lead the way
Send me the words I need to say
Use me to guide them day to day
This is a mother’s prayer
This is a father’s prayer
I know I can’t do this by my self
I thank you for your help
I know you’re listening so I know I’m not alone
I feel you here with me as we all face down the unknown
Could you return us to your garden
Where no one’s hurt and no one’s scared
Free us from pride and bitterness
Keep us so close we won’t forget
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother’s prayer
This is a father’s prayer
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother’s, a father’s prayer
It’s not for me I ask, but my children’s souls to keep
It seems the world is going crazy
And though I need to do my share
Could you please take them under wing
Watch over them especially
Keeping them safe from everything
This is a mother’s prayer
I know you’re listening in the silence of the night
The news is blistering but I hold on to your light
And though there’s darkness all around us
By my faith I know you’re there
Give me the strength to lead the way
Send me the words I need to say
Use me to guide them day to day
This is a mother’s prayer
This is a father’s prayer
I know I can’t do this by my self
I thank you for your help
I know you’re listening so I know I’m not alone
I feel you here with me as we all face down the unknown
Could you return us to your garden
Where no one’s hurt and no one’s scared
Free us from pride and bitterness
Keep us so close we won’t forget
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother’s prayer
This is a father’s prayer
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother’s, a father’s prayer
