I Know That's Right lyrics - Collin Raye
When I wake up on a Sunday mornin’
Church bell ringing right outside
I feel you laying next to me with our baby in between
I know that's right - I know that's right
When I'm driving and the king is singing
"Burning Love" on a summer night
I feel like I'm still 17 and I'm always gonna be
I know that's right
No one has to tell me I can see it
Like it's written in God's hand across the sky
It's that hallelujah moment when you know it
You just know it
From the bottom of my soul I know that's right
When a beggar asks me for a dollar
I dig down and give him five
Part of me starts thinkin' he'll buy drugs
Or go to drinkin' beer all night
Well I don't claim to have the answers
But there's one thing I believe in life
When someone's down you help 'em out
That's what it's all about I know that's right
No one has to tell me I can see it
Like it's written in God's hand across the sky
It's that hallelujah moment when you know it
You just know it
And from the bottom of my soul I know that's right
From the universe that spins around us
To that quiet little voice inside
Ain't nothing here by accident
Yeah that's the truth, amen
I know that's right
No one has to tell me I can see it
Like it's written in God's hand across the sky
It's that hallelujah moment when you know it
You just know it
And from the bottom of my soul I know that's right
It's that hallelujah moment
When you know it, you just know it
From the bottom of my soul I know that's right
I know that's right
I know that's right
Yeah...
Hurricane Jane lyrics - Collin Raye
No sign of weather
Not a cloud in the sky,
Takin' it easy
I was doin' just fine.
As God as my witness
I was mindin' my business
When she blew into town just like a tropical breeze...
Face like an angel,
Legs as long as you please.
I'll never forget it -
I got all caught up in it -
She was the object of my affection and the
(wind changed direction)
[CHORUS]
Lock down your shutters and your doors
Better row your boat ashore
Lord have mercy when she
Rains down on you...
You've been told,
You've been warned,
You don't know what you're in for...
She's a perfect storm...
Once she comes you'll never be the same
So you better stay away from Hurricane Jane!
She howled like thunder when the sky opened up,
I started shaking when the lightning struck.
My poor heart was breakin'
With every move she was makin'
Then she
Blew right over just as quick as she came
(She probably don't even remember my name!)
I'm broke down and speechless
Trying to pick up the pieces
Just another seduction in her
"path of destruction"...
[CHORUS]
Lock down your shutters and your doors
Better row your boat ashore
Lord have mercy when she
Rains down on you...
You've been told,
You've been warned,
You don't know what you're in for...
She's a perfect storm...
Once she comes you'll never be the same
So you better stay away from Hurricane Jane!
[Instrumental]
Once she comes you'll never be the same,
So you better stay away from Hurricane Jane!
Once she comes you'll never be the same,
So you better stay away from Hurricane Jane!
Once she comes you'll never be the same,
So you better stay away from Hurricane--
Lock down your shutters and your doors
Better row your boat ashore
Lord have mercy when she
Rains down on you...
You've been told,
You've been warned,
You don't know what you're in for...
She's THE perfect storm...
Better stay inside
Where it's safe and warm
But once she comes you'll never be the same
So you better stay away from Hurricane Jane!
Once she comes you'll never be the same
So you better stay away from Hurricane Jane!
The Search Is Over lyrics - Collin Raye
How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever
The search is over, you were with me all the while
Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times it's so confusing, the questions of the heart
You followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever
The search is over, you were with me all the while
Now the miles stretch out behind me, loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck, it finally stuck like lightning from the blue
Every highway's leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle, our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me, show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain the man I really am I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
When I touched your hand, I could hear you whisper
The search is over, love was right before my eyes
Forgotten lyrics - Collin Raye
Most everybody's got
A secret dresser drawer
Or an old shoebox
A back bedroom closet door
And maybe when it rains
Or when nobody else is home
We open it
And find we're really not alone...
If you could see me now
Kneeling on this floor
Watching the memories dance
Holding the flower you wore
You said I would forget
You said that was your greatest fear
But you're still here
Baby, you're still here.
[CHORUS]
And in my heart,
You are not forgotten.
A love this strong
Will hold you close to me
I know you're gone
But Heaven doesn't really seem that far
Even worlds apart
Please know you're not
Forgotten.
Oooohhhhh
Some people take the past
And make it disappear
They pack their heartaches up
Through out the laughter with the tears
But I don't wanna lose
How good we used to be
So you're still here
You're still here with me
[CHORUS]
And in my heart,
You are not forgotten.
A love this strong
Will hold you close to me
I know you're gone
But Heaven doesn't really seem that far
Even worlds apart
Please know you're not
Forgotten.
But now you're gone
But Heaven doesn't really seem that far
Even worlds apart
Please know you're not
Forgotten...
Ooooooooh...
You're Not Drinking Enough lyrics - Collin Raye
I can see that you haven't recovered
From the girl who let you down
But you'd sell what is left of your soul
For another go-round
You keep tellin' yourself she means nothin'
And maybe you should call her bluff
But you don't really believe it
You must not be drinkin' enough
Oh, the perfume she wore
You can buy down at the Five and Dime
But on some other woman
It don't smell the same in your mind
You keep tellin' yourself that you can take it
You keep tellin' yourself that you're tough
But you still wanna hold her
So you must not be drinkin' enough
Oooh
You're not drinkin' enough
To wash away old memories
And there ain't enough whiskey in Texas
To keep you from beggin'
Please, please, please
She passed on your passion
And stepped on your pride
Turns out you ain't quite so tough
'Cause you still wanna hold her
You must not be drinkin' enough
Ay-yi-yi-yi, you ask yourself why
But you still wanna hold her
You must not be drinkin' enough, no
Ay-yi-yi-yi, ay-yi-yi-yi
Whoa, you still wanna hold her
You must no be drinkin' enough
Ay-yi-yi-yi, ay-yi-yi-yi
Oh, I still wanna hold her
I must not be drinkin' enough
Josephine lyrics - Collin Raye
I'm writin' this letter, my darlin, from high on a hill.
We've been marchin' ten days and we're just outside Hawkinsville.
It's been snowin' all night and we ain't got no more kersosene.
It's colder than hell,
Hope you're doin' well,
Josephine.
There's a fever in camp and our boys are too sick to fight.
We done lost ol' Calvin;
Weaver won't make it through the night.
I overheard the Captain say it's the worst he's ever seen.
I'm losin' some weight
but I'm still standin' up straight,
Josephine.
[CHORUS]
Tell the children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more.
Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door.
Tell Mama and Daddy I'm all right
And just one more thing:
I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine.
There's three thousand Union troops camped at the river below.
And six hundred of us -
At least there was two nights ago.
Will Irwin deserted and
They hung him down by the stream.
Good God, I'm so scared,
Keep me in your prayers,
Josephine.
The order came down: we attack tonight at nightfall.
If we can stop 'em right here
We can win this war, once and for all.
You know, I killed a Union boy last week -
Bet he wasn't fourteen.
He looked just like our son,
Forgive me for what I've done,
Josephine.
[CHORUS]
Tell the children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more.
Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door.
Tell Mama and Daddy I'm all right
And just one more thing:
I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine.
And lastly, my darling, in case I should be killed...
Don't grieve me too long
Promise me that you will
Marry another and don't let him treat our babies mean,
And when he's holding you, won't you think of me too, Josephine?
[CHORUS]
Tell the children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more.
Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door.
Tell Mama and Daddy I'm all right
And just one more thing:
I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine.
Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine.
Heart lyrics - Collin Raye
You never listen to a word I say
You do what you want to anyway
You think you're so smart, heart
I give you reasons why you're gonna get broken
But it's as if my words never were spoken
You're the one in charge, heart
Well, I've got no choice but to follow you
That's a fact, I'd better face it
'Cause I can't beat how you make me feel
Oh, you know you're so persuasive
You showed me everything that love could be
Then turned your back and brought me to my knees
You can be so hard, heart
Oh, I say stop and you say go, it drives me crazy
We agree on anything, it drives me crazy
But that's the way you are, heart
Well, I've got no choice but to follow you
That's a fact, I'd better face it
'Cause I can't beat how you make me feel
Oh, you know you're so persuasive
Sometimes I wish that you'd just leave me alone
But there's some things I can't do on my own
So I'll take my chance, finish what you start, heart
Yeah, mmmmm
Gonna finish what you start, heart
Yeah, you think that you're so smart
Don't you know, heart
This is the way you are
Mmmmm, oh, heart
All I Can Do Is Love You lyrics - Collin Raye
It's simple, so easy
Somethin' 'bout your gentle way that frees me
I feel it, all I can do is love you
This one thing I'm sure of
Nothin' sweeter in this world than your love
I'm certain all I can do is love you
All of my dreams are yours
Those distant shores of love at last have found me
Best way I can explain is there's hope again
And you're the light surrounding me
My lifetime I'll prove it
'Cause baby when it gets right down to it
I can't help it all I can do is love you
Like warm sun in winter
All I expected was this sweet surrender
I now know all I can do is love you
Forever, all I can do is love you
Let Your Love Flow lyrics - Collin Raye
There's a reason for the sunshiny sky
And there's a reason why I'm feeling so high
Must be the season when that love lights shines all around us
So let that feelin' grab you deep inside
And send you reelin' where your love can't hide
And then go stealin' through the summer nights
With your lover
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season
Just let your love fly like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason, yeah, yeah
There's a reason for the warm sweet nights
And there's a reason for the candle lights
Must be the season when those love lights shine
All around us
So let the wonder take you into space
And lay you under its lovin' embrace
Oh, feel the thunder as it warms your face
You can't hold back, no, you can't hold back
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season
Yeah, just let your love fly like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason, oh, yeah
Just let your love flow, yeah
Why don't you let your love flow
Oh, let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season, yeah, yeah
Let your love fly like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason
It's the season
Oh, to let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason to let your love flow
Why don't you let your love flow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just let that love flow
One more
Why don't you let your love flow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Twenty Years And Change lyrics - Collin Raye
Jim played piano in a band called 'Angry Witness'
Out to fight the system in the fall of '81
Like all his friends he felt peace
Could we have for the askin'
It was just a matter of convincing the old ones
They broke up on John and Yoko's anniversary
Went seperate ways like most bands do
Same ol' frustration when they saw
The times were not a-changin'
Jim warmed up to the cold hard truth
Jim plays piano, a simple weekend warrior
At a cosy little mad spot just a few blocks from his home
He wakes up every mornin', has breakfast with his children
Sweet wife smilin' at him, thinks how good my life's become
This past Thursday was their 14th anniversary
Owned their own sweet home since '92
Monday through Firday
He sells those new lots off the highway
Wreith on the door, Red, White and Blue
Sometimes he wonders how did one man get so lucky
And what happend to his anger and his vow to heal the world
In just over two decades he has watched the earth revolvin'
Now just simple problem solvin', twenty years and change
How long did I love you before my heart stopped breakin'
Since the night I stood there shakin' when you ran out of my life
Now I think it's time I told you, even if you show no interest
How I came to feel forgiveness and finally set things right
It was twenty years, two months and five day this December
You wiped your shoes off on my heart
Hard to be realistic to betray a kid so idealistic
Flames of faith put out in the dark
Then one cold mornin' a real live frosty Friday
I turned to the pain beside me and I realized it was gone
I tore up all your pictures, never thinkin you might find me
Time to put that junk behind me and wonder why it took so long
Now here you stand on what would be our anniversay
Tellin' me how tough life's been on you
No satisfaction for I realized we've lost all attraction
Movin' on is all that's left to do
God, I feel so foolish for what seemed so devastatin'
And the love I had for hatin', was a tragic waste of time
Somehow I feel like laughin' with that free weight lifted from me
Oh, how wisdom does become me
Twenty years and change
We'll Be Alright lyrics - Collin Raye
Today the pain we feel is cuttin' deeper
The faith that we had yesterday is all twisted inside
We don't know how to go about tomorrow
But we'll be alright
And though the walls may crumble all around us
Dark clouds may force their way on a blue sky
These tears we share will only make us stronger
We'll be alright
As long as we remember, the only thing that last forever
Is the love we feel together, side by side
We'll be alright
Mmmmm-hmmm-mmmm
And when we find ourselves in trouble
The spirit of our love will always survive
I hope and pray the whole wide world's watchin'
'Cause we'll be alright
And I know that we'll remember all that lasts forever
Is the love we feel together, side by side
We'll be alright, we'll be alright
We'll be alright (we'll be alright)
Oh, I hope the whole world is watchin'
(We'll be alright, we'll be alright))
Side by side
It's Only Make Believe lyrics - Collin Raye
People see us everywhere
They think you really care
But myself I can't deceive
I know it's only make believe
My one and only prayer
Is that someday you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true
My one and only you
No one will ever know
How much I love you so
My only prayer will be
Someday you'll care for me
But it's only make believe
My hope, my dreams come true
My life I'd give for you
My heart a wedding ring
My all my everything
My heart I can't control
You rule my very soul
My plans my hopes my schemes
You are my every dream
But it's only make believe
My one and only prayer
Is that someday you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true
My one and only you
No one will ever know
How much I love you so
My only prayer will be
Someday you'll care for me
But it's only make believe
