What They Don't Know lyrics - Collin Raye
Three kids gathered in a huddle
Broomstick fishing pole hanging in a puddle
They think they can catch that big one anywhere
And I ain't gonna tell them
Boys there ain't no fish in there
'Cause what they don't know
Just might be a blessing
Don't get 'em second guessing
Let 'em dream without a doubt
'Cause if they don't know
It can't be done they just might do it
If no one can convince them
The odds are stacked against them
There's no telling how far they can go
On what they don't know
A child bride and a groom not much older
They've got a baby and the world on their shoulders
Six out of ten don't stand a chance to last a year
Oh but they're in love and they can't see that far from here
[Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
On what they don't know
Broomstick fishing pole hanging in a puddle
They think they can catch that big one anywhere
And I ain't gonna tell them
Boys there ain't no fish in there
'Cause what they don't know
Just might be a blessing
Don't get 'em second guessing
Let 'em dream without a doubt
'Cause if they don't know
It can't be done they just might do it
If no one can convince them
The odds are stacked against them
There's no telling how far they can go
On what they don't know
A child bride and a groom not much older
They've got a baby and the world on their shoulders
Six out of ten don't stand a chance to last a year
Oh but they're in love and they can't see that far from here
[Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
On what they don't know
In This Life lyrics - Collin Raye
For all I've been blessed with in this life,
there was an emptiness in me.
I was imprisoned by the power of gold.
With one honest touch, you set me free.
Let the world stop turning,
let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that matters has come true;
in this life, I was loved by you.
For every mountain I have climbed,
every raging river crossed,
you were the treasure that I longed to find.
Without your love I would be lost.
Let the world stop turning,
let the sun stop burning,
let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart,
the only dream that mattered had come true;
in this life i was loved by you.
In this life, I was loved by you.
there was an emptiness in me.
I was imprisoned by the power of gold.
With one honest touch, you set me free.
Let the world stop turning,
let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that matters has come true;
in this life, I was loved by you.
For every mountain I have climbed,
every raging river crossed,
you were the treasure that I longed to find.
Without your love I would be lost.
Let the world stop turning,
let the sun stop burning,
let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart,
the only dream that mattered had come true;
in this life i was loved by you.
In this life, I was loved by you.
Big River lyrics - Collin Raye
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
I've shown the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I've cried over that woman
Well they're gonna flood you big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Well I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her draw that southern draw
Then I heard my dream was back downstream in Davenport
Now I followed you big river when you called
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river
Freighter said you'd been here but she's gone said boy she's gone
Well I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block
She raised a few eyebrows then she moved on down the ?
Yes she did
Now I went back down to Baton Rouge my little queen rollin' on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on I've had enough dumped my blues down in the gulf
She loves you big river more than me
When I pulled into Nachez yesterday down the river
You know there's not much there to make you stay very long
When I left it was raining so nobody saw me crying
Big river why's she treating me this way
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
I've shown the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I've cried over that woman
Well they're gonna flood you big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Yeah I'm gonna sit right here until I die
I've shown the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I've cried over that woman
Well they're gonna flood you big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Well I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her draw that southern draw
Then I heard my dream was back downstream in Davenport
Now I followed you big river when you called
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river
Freighter said you'd been here but she's gone said boy she's gone
Well I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block
She raised a few eyebrows then she moved on down the ?
Yes she did
Now I went back down to Baton Rouge my little queen rollin' on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on I've had enough dumped my blues down in the gulf
She loves you big river more than me
When I pulled into Nachez yesterday down the river
You know there's not much there to make you stay very long
When I left it was raining so nobody saw me crying
Big river why's she treating me this way
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
I've shown the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I've cried over that woman
Well they're gonna flood you big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Yeah I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Somebody Else's Moon lyrics - Collin Raye
I look out my window at the world I once owned
And I see it's still spinning round
But somewhere above me a light I once knew
No longer shines through the clouds
But that's somebody else's moon tonight
Those are somebody else's stars
They're are no longer mine
'Cause somewhere tonight
You're in somebody else's arms
Remember the wishes we made in the night
When dreams were supposed to come true
Well I do 'cause you put the stars in my eyes
As you softly promised the moon
That's somebody else's moon tonight
Those are somebody else's stars
They're are no longer mine
'Cause somewhere tonight
You're in somebody else's arms
They're no longer mine
'Cause somewhere tonight
You're in somebody else's arms
And I see it's still spinning round
But somewhere above me a light I once knew
No longer shines through the clouds
But that's somebody else's moon tonight
Those are somebody else's stars
They're are no longer mine
'Cause somewhere tonight
You're in somebody else's arms
Remember the wishes we made in the night
When dreams were supposed to come true
Well I do 'cause you put the stars in my eyes
As you softly promised the moon
That's somebody else's moon tonight
Those are somebody else's stars
They're are no longer mine
'Cause somewhere tonight
You're in somebody else's arms
They're no longer mine
'Cause somewhere tonight
You're in somebody else's arms
You Can't It With You lyrics - Collin Raye
There's a look on your face that says your leavin'
You've already got one foot out the door
If it's new love or not like that you're leavin'
I won't leave the light on anymore
I still believe we could hold it together
But there's something I want you to know
When I gave you my heart I gave it forever
But you can't take it with you when you go
While you're packing your suitcase pack my memories
'Cause I don't want them around here when you're gone
And if you let that door close behind you
Say goodbye to the love we have known
[Chorus]
When I gave you my heart I gave it forever
But you can't take it with you when you go
You've already got one foot out the door
If it's new love or not like that you're leavin'
I won't leave the light on anymore
I still believe we could hold it together
But there's something I want you to know
When I gave you my heart I gave it forever
But you can't take it with you when you go
While you're packing your suitcase pack my memories
'Cause I don't want them around here when you're gone
And if you let that door close behind you
Say goodbye to the love we have known
[Chorus]
When I gave you my heart I gave it forever
But you can't take it with you when you go
That Was A River lyrics - Collin Raye
I've seen that look before,
here comes that doubt again.
You think that girl we saw,
was more than just a friend.
Yes, there was a time
I thought she had it all.
She meant the world to me,
back when the world was small.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.
That never carried this much emotion.
Nothing compares to
this deep devotion.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.
The love we had before
can never change this one.
We're not imprisoned by
the past we've brought along.
It's just you and me,
one ship in the night.
There are no boundaries,
there is no end in sight.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.
That never carried this much emotion.
Nothing compares to
this deep devotion.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.
Nothing compares to
this deep devotion.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.
here comes that doubt again.
You think that girl we saw,
was more than just a friend.
Yes, there was a time
I thought she had it all.
She meant the world to me,
back when the world was small.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.
That never carried this much emotion.
Nothing compares to
this deep devotion.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.
The love we had before
can never change this one.
We're not imprisoned by
the past we've brought along.
It's just you and me,
one ship in the night.
There are no boundaries,
there is no end in sight.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.
That never carried this much emotion.
Nothing compares to
this deep devotion.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.
Nothing compares to
this deep devotion.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.
That was a river,
this is the ocean.
I Want You Bad (And That Ain't Good) lyrics - Collin Raye
Baby please don't get to close to me
'Cause that ring you're wearing says that you're not free
But if I said I didn't want ya
Well you know I'd be a liar
You better run while there's still time
'Cause I can't stop this fire
I want you bad I can't help myself
But you belong to someone else
I'd leave you alone
Darlin' if I could
But I want you bad and that ain't good
Baby please put away those ruby lips
And those big blue eyes are too hard to resist
I'm not that kind of man
Oh and usually I'm strong
But it's getting hard to tell between
What's right and what is wrong
[Chorus]
I want you bad and girl that ain't good
I want you bad, bad, bad and that ain't good
'Cause that ring you're wearing says that you're not free
But if I said I didn't want ya
Well you know I'd be a liar
You better run while there's still time
'Cause I can't stop this fire
I want you bad I can't help myself
But you belong to someone else
I'd leave you alone
Darlin' if I could
But I want you bad and that ain't good
Baby please put away those ruby lips
And those big blue eyes are too hard to resist
I'm not that kind of man
Oh and usually I'm strong
But it's getting hard to tell between
What's right and what is wrong
[Chorus]
I want you bad and girl that ain't good
I want you bad, bad, bad and that ain't good
Latter Day Cowboy lyrics - Collin Raye
When the boy was no more than a shaver
His man told many a tale
How his great grandad used to go drovin'
Back and forth on the Oachezown Trail
Now you might say the boy got infected
By a fantasy of the old west
For his heart and his soul got connected
To a spirit that won't let him rest
[Chorus]
Now he don't wear spurs that go jingle
He don't spend his nights 'round a fire
He lifts diesel oil that is horses required
But he is a latter day cowboy
Dressed as a truck drivin' man
Drivin' his wheels and his dreams to Cheyenne
He beds down by the side of the highway
At the sight of the first evenin' star
In the darkness his big pony idles
As he quietly strums his guitar
And he sings out a song of his sweetheart
Even as her sweet memory grows dim
And he sings of the trail he has chosen
But the actual fact is the trail chose him
[Repeat Chorus]
Driving his wheels and his dreams to Cheyenne
His man told many a tale
How his great grandad used to go drovin'
Back and forth on the Oachezown Trail
Now you might say the boy got infected
By a fantasy of the old west
For his heart and his soul got connected
To a spirit that won't let him rest
[Chorus]
Now he don't wear spurs that go jingle
He don't spend his nights 'round a fire
He lifts diesel oil that is horses required
But he is a latter day cowboy
Dressed as a truck drivin' man
Drivin' his wheels and his dreams to Cheyenne
He beds down by the side of the highway
At the sight of the first evenin' star
In the darkness his big pony idles
As he quietly strums his guitar
And he sings out a song of his sweetheart
Even as her sweet memory grows dim
And he sings of the trail he has chosen
But the actual fact is the trail chose him
[Repeat Chorus]
Driving his wheels and his dreams to Cheyenne
Many A Mile lyrics - Collin Raye
I look down the road that winds in the distance
And wonder where it might lead
I only know it makes no difference
As long as you walk with me
[Chorus]
Many a mile we will travel
Many a dream we will share
Many a time we will gladly take the long way there
With every step we will draw closer
With every step our love will grow
Take my hand, we have many a mile to go
True love is not a destination
But one day we will arrive
This is the journey we will be taking
The rest of our lives
[Repeat Chorus]
There will be days we're missing
All the places our love has been
There will be joy in knowing the best
Is still around the bend
With every step we will draw closer
That every turn our love will grow
Take my hand, we have many a mile to go
Take my hand, we have many a mile to go
And wonder where it might lead
I only know it makes no difference
As long as you walk with me
[Chorus]
Many a mile we will travel
Many a dream we will share
Many a time we will gladly take the long way there
With every step we will draw closer
With every step our love will grow
Take my hand, we have many a mile to go
True love is not a destination
But one day we will arrive
This is the journey we will be taking
The rest of our lives
[Repeat Chorus]
There will be days we're missing
All the places our love has been
There will be joy in knowing the best
Is still around the bend
With every step we will draw closer
That every turn our love will grow
Take my hand, we have many a mile to go
Take my hand, we have many a mile to go
Let It Be Me lyrics - Collin Raye
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Each time we make love
I found complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
Each time we made love
I found complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
Promise you'll always
Let it be me
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Each time we make love
I found complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
Each time we made love
I found complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
Promise you'll always
Let it be me
All I Can Be lyrics - Collin Raye
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind time from time
I can never be more than a knock on your door
Just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine
For you know I'm not free
And I never can be
And your bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
Tonight I'll share the silence
While lying here with you
Sands of time have trickled down
Just a precious few
You're young and so beautiful
And I'm glad that I'm here
But the ending is painfully clear
All I can be is a sweet memory
Of someone you had to leave behind
Who loves you and needs you
Never could give you
A ring for your finger so fine
So tonight we'll just borrow each other
Tomorrow we'll find we've run out of time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
For you know I'm not free
And I never can be
And your bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
That drifts through your mind time from time
I can never be more than a knock on your door
Just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine
For you know I'm not free
And I never can be
And your bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
Tonight I'll share the silence
While lying here with you
Sands of time have trickled down
Just a precious few
You're young and so beautiful
And I'm glad that I'm here
But the ending is painfully clear
All I can be is a sweet memory
Of someone you had to leave behind
Who loves you and needs you
Never could give you
A ring for your finger so fine
So tonight we'll just borrow each other
Tomorrow we'll find we've run out of time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
For you know I'm not free
And I never can be
And your bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind
Every Second lyrics - Collin Raye
Well listen dear I think it's clear
We need to sit and talk
Seems you've got this notion I've been
having second thoughts
Well I must confess in a way I guess that silly
notion's true
'Cause every second you're not here with me I think of you'
Every second, every minute, every hour of every day
Every second there's a thought of you that comes my way
So if you ask that I've had second thoughts I'd have to say
Every second, every minute, every hour of every day.
Now I propose we drink a toast and turn the lights down low
Put our favorite music on and hold each other close
Don't worry dear you'll always be here in my heart to stay
Every second, every minute, every hour of every day
Every second, every minute, every hour of every day
Every second there's a thought of you that comes my way
So if you ask that I've had second thoughts I'd guess I have to say
Every second, every minute, every hour of every day.
Every second, every minute, I love you more and more each day
We need to sit and talk
Seems you've got this notion I've been
having second thoughts
Well I must confess in a way I guess that silly
notion's true
'Cause every second you're not here with me I think of you'
Every second, every minute, every hour of every day
Every second there's a thought of you that comes my way
So if you ask that I've had second thoughts I'd have to say
Every second, every minute, every hour of every day.
Now I propose we drink a toast and turn the lights down low
Put our favorite music on and hold each other close
Don't worry dear you'll always be here in my heart to stay
Every second, every minute, every hour of every day
Every second, every minute, every hour of every day
Every second there's a thought of you that comes my way
So if you ask that I've had second thoughts I'd guess I have to say
Every second, every minute, every hour of every day.
Every second, every minute, I love you more and more each day
Faithful Old Flame lyrics - Collin Raye
You come around most every night
Looking for my heart
Each time I turn out the light
I can count on you to start
Bringing back sweet memories
Of the love we made
You never change
You're a faithful old flame
I know you'll be here right on time
To ear me up again
You never stay away too long
And give me a chance to mend
Tears won't drown your fire in me
It's even worse when it rains
You never stray from a faithful old flame
Just when I think you're gone
You start the fire
And I yearn for your touch
That i miss so much
Embers of love glow even brighter
Than they did
Yesterday, they won't go away
I've tried my best
To put you out
But the spark remains
It's still the same
You're a faithful old flame
You never stray
You're a faithful old flame
Looking for my heart
Each time I turn out the light
I can count on you to start
Bringing back sweet memories
Of the love we made
You never change
You're a faithful old flame
I know you'll be here right on time
To ear me up again
You never stay away too long
And give me a chance to mend
Tears won't drown your fire in me
It's even worse when it rains
You never stray from a faithful old flame
Just when I think you're gone
You start the fire
And I yearn for your touch
That i miss so much
Embers of love glow even brighter
Than they did
Yesterday, they won't go away
I've tried my best
To put you out
But the spark remains
It's still the same
You're a faithful old flame
You never stray
You're a faithful old flame
Scuse Moi, My Heart lyrics - Collin Raye
You grew up in the city, High society girl
And even this backwoods boy can tell
you're a woman of the world
"Cause I get weak when I hear you speak
The way they do in France
I'm sure you've heard these fancy words
But I've got to take a chance
Svp pardonne me!, I can help my self
Darling j ai vous aimes beaucoup, if you and no one else
Forgive me if I say it wrong, but I just thing that smart
If you cant see this love in me, then scuse moi my heart
I showed up in new Orland's
with all I own on my back
I got me a job at the country club
On the rich side of the track
then you came in with your jet set friends
That you meet in Paris
Well now there gone and your alone ,, looking straight at me
Svp pardonne me!, I can help my self
Darling j ai vous aimes beaucoup, if you and no one else
Forgive me if I say it wrong, but I just thing that smart
If you cant see this love in me, then scuse moi my heart
Why cant we try the language of love
The one thing you cant place your self above
Oh don't allow your social pride
To keep are dreams apart
If you cant see this love in me
Then scuse moi my heart
Svp pardonne me!, I can help my self
Darling j ai vous aimes beaucoup, if you and no one else
Forgive me if I say it wrong, but I just thing that smart
If you cant see this love in me, then scuse moi my heart
And even this backwoods boy can tell

"Cause I get weak when I hear you speak
The way they do in France
I'm sure you've heard these fancy words

Any Old Stretch of Blacktop lyrics - Collin Raye
I got money in my pocket and a guitar in my hand
These lonely nights without you are more than I can stand
I work like a puppet
But it's time to cut the strings
Well I hit the ground running
And I won't be looking back
I'll be like a locomotive headed down a one way track
It won't take too long just you wait and see
As long as it will lead me back to you
Any old stretch of blacktop will do
North, south, east or west
Been everywhere it seems
Uptown rooms and honky tonks don't feel like home to me
I'll be stepping out the rhythm while I'm singing a new song
And it's knowing where I'm going that will keep me moving on
Turn my collar to the wind and put my thumb up in the air
Flag a diesal down or catch a bus from anywhere
Colorado, California, or even Kalamazoo
As long as it will lead me back to you
Any old stretch of blacktop will do
Well I hit the ground running
And I won't be looking back
I'll be like a locomotive headed down a one way track
It won't take too long just you wait and see
As long as it will lead me back to you
Any old stretch of blacktop will do
Alright
These lonely nights without you are more than I can stand
I work like a puppet
But it's time to cut the strings
Well I hit the ground running
And I won't be looking back
I'll be like a locomotive headed down a one way track
It won't take too long just you wait and see
As long as it will lead me back to you
Any old stretch of blacktop will do
North, south, east or west
Been everywhere it seems
Uptown rooms and honky tonks don't feel like home to me
I'll be stepping out the rhythm while I'm singing a new song
And it's knowing where I'm going that will keep me moving on
Turn my collar to the wind and put my thumb up in the air
Flag a diesal down or catch a bus from anywhere
Colorado, California, or even Kalamazoo
As long as it will lead me back to you
Any old stretch of blacktop will do
Well I hit the ground running
And I won't be looking back
I'll be like a locomotive headed down a one way track
It won't take too long just you wait and see
As long as it will lead me back to you
Any old stretch of blacktop will do
Alright
Love, Me lyrics - Collin Raye
I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said,
"Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so."
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
I found this letter, and this is what it said:
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
Between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said,
"Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so."
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
I found this letter, and this is what it said:
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
Between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
Blue Magic lyrics - Collin Raye
I hear your favorite music on the jukebox
And right away I know that you are here
You always pick a time just when I think my mind is clear
You re-appear
And once again you got me in your power
This time I hope it's not a brief romance
'Cause it's too late to run. You've got me thinking one slow dance...
Is worth the chance.
And that old Blue Magic still works like a charm
As if you never even left these aching arms
You put a spell on me
I guess I'll always be hypnotized
By that Blue Magic in your eyes
Though I should run and hide from this illusion
Your smile is so much quicker than my pride
There's something up your sleeve that makes my heart believe inside...
This carpet ride...
Might lift us up and fly us to forever
But up to now it's all been slide of hand
I've got to face the fact, one look and I'm right back again
At your command
"There's something out there left for you
But it's not me
We've reached a point of no return
It's only right to set you free
I know I have to turn away
But there's nowhere for my love to go
And there won't come a day
When I won't honor what we've had
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
Here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty
Darling, I'm still holding onto you
We can't deny that this one's out of our control
Stronger than the both of us
And bound to take its toll
I can stand the test of time
And as far as I can see
There are no walls that we can't climb
Standing between you and me
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
Here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty
Darling, I'm still holding onto you
There's a place you'll always be
No matter where you are you're here with me
When the world is turning upside down
Together we will stand our ground
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
Here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty
Darling, I'm still holding onto you
I'm still holding onto you
I'm still holding onto you
When I'm gone
When I'm gone, I'm holding on
'Cause that old Blue Magic still works like a charm
As if you never even left these aching arms
You put a spell on me
I guess I'll always be hypnotized
By that Blue Magic in your eyes
Yes, you put a spell on me
I guess I'll always be hypnotized
By that Blue Magic...That old Blue Magic...
That Blue Magic in you eyes
And right away I know that you are here
You always pick a time just when I think my mind is clear
You re-appear
And once again you got me in your power
This time I hope it's not a brief romance
'Cause it's too late to run. You've got me thinking one slow dance...
Is worth the chance.
And that old Blue Magic still works like a charm
As if you never even left these aching arms

That Blue Magic in you eyes
It Could've Been So Good lyrics - Collin Raye
When I think about you leaving and being here alone
It's not the love we knew that hurts me
But the love we could have known
I'm not sorry that I held you
I just wish that I still could
Oh it's not that it was so bad
It just could've been so good
I don't regret one moment that we had together
What's killing me is knowing we could have had forever
I just wish we loved each other the way I know we could
Oh it's not that it was so bad
It just could've been so good
I don't want to lose the memories of all the nights we shared
And I never found a new love that ever could compare
I just wish we hadn't left things standing where they stood
Girl it's not that it was so bad
It just could've been so good
[Chorus]
Oh it's not that it was so bad
It just could've been so good
It's not the love we knew that hurts me
But the love we could have known
I'm not sorry that I held you
I just wish that I still could
Oh it's not that it was so bad
It just could've been so good
I don't regret one moment that we had together
What's killing me is knowing we could have had forever
I just wish we loved each other the way I know we could
Oh it's not that it was so bad
It just could've been so good
I don't want to lose the memories of all the nights we shared
And I never found a new love that ever could compare
I just wish we hadn't left things standing where they stood
Girl it's not that it was so bad
It just could've been so good
[Chorus]
Oh it's not that it was so bad
It just could've been so good
Sadly Ever After lyrics - Collin Raye
We had a storybook beginning getting better with each page
Somewhere in the middle I somehow lost my place
Then came the final chapter where you said we were through
And left me living sadly ever after loving you
Sadly ever after since you said goodbye
With just one little word you wrote me right out of your life
You found a new prince charming
Now I'm a royal shade of blue
Alone and living sadly ever after loving you
Now the story that I'm writing is a sad, sad tale to tell
'Bout a man that loved someone who loved somebody else
But I wish that it was fiction but heaven knows it's true
And the ending leaves me sadly ever after loving you
[Chorus]
Oh, you found a new prince charming
Now I'm a royal shade of blue
Alone and living sadly ever after loving you
Somewhere in the middle I somehow lost my place
Then came the final chapter where you said we were through
And left me living sadly ever after loving you
Sadly ever after since you said goodbye
With just one little word you wrote me right out of your life
You found a new prince charming
Now I'm a royal shade of blue
Alone and living sadly ever after loving you
Now the story that I'm writing is a sad, sad tale to tell
'Bout a man that loved someone who loved somebody else
But I wish that it was fiction but heaven knows it's true
And the ending leaves me sadly ever after loving you
[Chorus]
Oh, you found a new prince charming
Now I'm a royal shade of blue
Alone and living sadly ever after loving you
If I Were You lyrics - Collin Raye
Well I better tell you upfront you've always been my friend
The kind of woman you found won't come your way again
She's the kind of lady that every man dreams of
Son if you don't treat her right she'll find someone that does
If I were you and she was mine
I'd give her all my lovin' all the time
I'd thank the Lord each morning she wakes up by my side
That's what I'd do if I were you and she was mine
Well I've never been a preacher and I ain't gonna start
Buddy what you're thinkin' 'bout can tear your world apart
You know that barroom beauty would be better left alone
She can't hold a candle to the girl you got at home
If I were you and she was mine
I'd give her all my lovin' all the time
I'd thank the Lord each morning she wakes up by my side
That's what I'd do if I were you and she was mine
Now we've been friends for so long and I hope we'll always be
But if she leaves you for someone new that someone might be me
Oh... I'd thank the Lord each morning she wakes up by my side
That's what I'd do if I were you and she was mine
That's what I'd do if I were you and she was mine
The kind of woman you found won't come your way again
She's the kind of lady that every man dreams of
Son if you don't treat her right she'll find someone that does
If I were you and she was mine
I'd give her all my lovin' all the time
I'd thank the Lord each morning she wakes up by my side
That's what I'd do if I were you and she was mine
Well I've never been a preacher and I ain't gonna start
Buddy what you're thinkin' 'bout can tear your world apart
You know that barroom beauty would be better left alone
She can't hold a candle to the girl you got at home
If I were you and she was mine
I'd give her all my lovin' all the time
I'd thank the Lord each morning she wakes up by my side
That's what I'd do if I were you and she was mine
Now we've been friends for so long and I hope we'll always be
But if she leaves you for someone new that someone might be me
Oh... I'd thank the Lord each morning she wakes up by my side
That's what I'd do if I were you and she was mine
That's what I'd do if I were you and she was mine
Fearless lyrics - Collin Raye
[Verse 1]
I know promises can vanish in thin air
This life comes with no guarantees
Everything I have can all be gone
And leave me empty-handed fallin’ on my knees
When I get knocked down, weak and confused
I gain strength with every thought of you
[Chorus]
You make me fearless
You make every day for me
Fearless, you make it easy to believe
You’ll always be there for me whatever I go through
That’s the difference between your love and this world
I’m fearless with you
[Verse 2]
I used to wake up afraid to face the day
Almost counting on something going wrong
I’d get scared thinking I was all alone
But now there’s comfort in knowing I belong
In your arms, wrapped up in your love
The only place I feel safe enough
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
With you by my side
I let go and close my eyes
And I feel like I can fly
[Chorus out]
I know promises can vanish in thin air
This life comes with no guarantees
Everything I have can all be gone
And leave me empty-handed fallin’ on my knees
When I get knocked down, weak and confused
I gain strength with every thought of you
[Chorus]
You make me fearless
You make every day for me
Fearless, you make it easy to believe
You’ll always be there for me whatever I go through
That’s the difference between your love and this world
I’m fearless with you
[Verse 2]
I used to wake up afraid to face the day
Almost counting on something going wrong
I’d get scared thinking I was all alone
But now there’s comfort in knowing I belong
In your arms, wrapped up in your love
The only place I feel safe enough
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
With you by my side
I let go and close my eyes
And I feel like I can fly
[Chorus out]
Little Red Rodeo lyrics - Collin Raye
Well a note said: "You've had time to think about it.
Looks like to me you're feelin' kinda crowded.
You're not looking for anything permanent here,
so my Rodeo is packed and it's in 'goodbye gear.' "
So I shot down to the Longhorn Diner,
her sister works there and she'd know where to find her.
She said, "You did not hear this from me,
all I'll say is momma's got that place out in Monterrey."
Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little, red Rodeo.
She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know.
Need the girl in that little, red Rodeo.
Texas plates, candy-apple red Rodeo.
Two towns back I showed your photograph
and the gas-station man just started to laugh.
"She said I might see you in this old bucket o' rust,
and said 'Good luck boy.' Just follow that cloud o' dust."
Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little, red Rodeo.
She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know.
Need the girl in that little, red Rodeo.
Texas plates, candy-apple red Rodeo.
Maybe I was straddlin' the fence just like she said...
It took her leaving just to get it through my head.
She's the one and only, it's over that's it.
I'm commited, I'm in love, and I'm desperate.
She's a good ways gone, but I'm closin' the gap,
if I have to I'll chase her clear across the map.
Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little, red Rodeo.
She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know.
Need the girl in that little, red Rodeo.
Texas plates, candy-apple red Rodeo.
Yeah, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little, red Rodeo.
She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know.
Need the girl in that little, red Rodeo.
Texas plates, candy-apple red Rodeo.
Yeah, now, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little, red Rodeo.
She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know.
Need the girl in that little, red Rodeo.
Texas plates, candy-apple red Rodeo.
Looks like to me you're feelin' kinda crowded.
You're not looking for anything permanent here,
so my Rodeo is packed and it's in 'goodbye gear.' "

Open Arms lyrics - Collin Raye
Lying beside you, here in the dark,
feeling your heart beat with mine.
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere.
How could our love be so blind?
We sailed on together, we drifted apart,
and here you are by my side.
[Chorus]
So now I come to you with open arms,
nothing to hide, believe what I'm sayin'.
So here I am, with open arms,
hoping you'll see what your love means to me -
open arms.
Living without you, living alone,
this empty house is so cold.
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near,
how I've wanted you home.
Now that you've come back, turned night into day,
now I need you to stay.
[Chorus]
feeling your heart beat with mine.
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere.
How could our love be so blind?
We sailed on together, we drifted apart,
and here you are by my side.
[Chorus]
So now I come to you with open arms,
nothing to hide, believe what I'm sayin'.
So here I am, with open arms,
hoping you'll see what your love means to me -
open arms.
Living without you, living alone,
this empty house is so cold.
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near,
how I've wanted you home.
Now that you've come back, turned night into day,
now I need you to stay.
[Chorus]
The Gift lyrics - Collin Raye
Winter snow is falling down, children laughing all around.
Lights are turnin' on, like a fairy tale come true.
Sitting by the fire we made, you're the answer when I prayed
I would find some one, and baby I found you.
And all I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart,
you gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.
Watching as you softly sleep,what I'd give if I could keep
just this moment, if only time stood still.
But the colors fade away, and the years will make us gray,
but baby in my eyes, you'll still be beautiful.
And all I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart.
You gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.
All I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart.
You gave your love away,
Can't find the words to say
And I'm thankful everyday for the gift
Lights are turnin' on, like a fairy tale come true.
Sitting by the fire we made, you're the answer when I prayed
I would find some one, and baby I found you.
And all I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart,
you gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.
Watching as you softly sleep,what I'd give if I could keep
just this moment, if only time stood still.
But the colors fade away, and the years will make us gray,
but baby in my eyes, you'll still be beautiful.
And all I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart.
You gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.
All I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart.
You gave your love away,
Can't find the words to say
And I'm thankful everyday for the gift
What The Heart Wants lyrics - Collin Raye
She met him down at the laundromat;
three a.m. on a washing machine.
They sat and talked 'til dawn.
He bought her breakfast at a small cafe,
mornin' turned into the rest of the day,
then the day was gone.
He thought that she'd surely run away,
no fairy tale ever started this way, but
it ain't the mind that calls the shots 'round here.
Stronger powers pull two bodies near.
Nothing on earth can interfere when love is
what the heart wants.
They made a wish on the evening star,
from a rooftop high above the boulevard,
up in the twilight sky.
He held her hand, she held her breath.
Two lonely hearts beating, scared to death
of the chance to fly.
Givin' in to the arms of fate,
this isn't quite like the plans that they made, but
it ain't the mind that calls the shots 'round here.
Stronger powers pull two bodies near.
Nothing on earth can interfere when love is
what the heart wants.
It ain't the mind that calls the shots 'round here.
Stronger powers pull two bodies near.
Nothing on earth can interfere when love is
what the heart wants.
Nothing on earth can interfere when love is...
three a.m. on a washing machine.
They sat and talked 'til dawn.
He bought her breakfast at a small cafe,
mornin' turned into the rest of the day,
then the day was gone.
He thought that she'd surely run away,
no fairy tale ever started this way, but
it ain't the mind that calls the shots 'round here.
Stronger powers pull two bodies near.
Nothing on earth can interfere when love is
what the heart wants.
They made a wish on the evening star,
from a rooftop high above the boulevard,
up in the twilight sky.
He held her hand, she held her breath.
Two lonely hearts beating, scared to death
of the chance to fly.
Givin' in to the arms of fate,
this isn't quite like the plans that they made, but
it ain't the mind that calls the shots 'round here.
Stronger powers pull two bodies near.
Nothing on earth can interfere when love is
what the heart wants.
It ain't the mind that calls the shots 'round here.
Stronger powers pull two bodies near.
Nothing on earth can interfere when love is
what the heart wants.
Nothing on earth can interfere when love is...
