I think I feel like an old beat up two lane
The one that the state's not about to repair
From where I'm falling I think I might meet you
Below where we were just above just don't care
The way the world's changing I just can't accept it
No right or wrong all in between
The faith we were raised on is weathered and shaken
But baby it don't have to be
'Cause I still believe in a prayer before supper
And passing the time round the old courthouse square
We've got nothing to keep us from start over Georgia
We'll leave all the baggage and start over there
Well I've never been to that part of the country
Save for some old movies and deep in my mind
Where it's accepted and even rewarded
To stand on your own right side of the line
Nobody wins here, we're all scare of losing
I feel scarred right down to the bone
Maybe we'll find ourselves close to the ocean
Where freedom first breathes on it's own
'Cause I still believe in a prayer before supper
And passing the time round the old courthouse square
We've got nothing to keep us from start over Georgia
We'll leave all the baggage and start over there
Oh we've got nothing to keep us from start over Georgia
We'll leave all the baggage and start over there
I Can Still Feel You lyrics - Collin Raye
It's that feeling that someone
Is standing behind me
And I turn around and there's no one there
And it's the sensation
That someone just whispered
Yeah and I still hear your voice but you're not really here
Your memory is like a ghost
And my heart is it's host
I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched
With your love no one gets close to
I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you
You said you'd love me forever
Then you said it's over
And left me without the missing link
I thought I'd forget you
But I guess I forgot to
And lately I've been too confused to think
When I reach for someone new
It's like I'm touching you
I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched
With your love no one gets close to
I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you
In everything that moves
In everything I do
I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched
With your love no one gets close to
I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you
Oh I can still feel you
Is standing behind me
And I turn around and there's no one there
And it's the sensation
That someone just whispered
Yeah and I still hear your voice but you're not really here
Your memory is like a ghost
And my heart is it's host
I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched
With your love no one gets close to
I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you
You said you'd love me forever
Then you said it's over
And left me without the missing link
I thought I'd forget you
But I guess I forgot to
And lately I've been too confused to think
When I reach for someone new
It's like I'm touching you
I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched
With your love no one gets close to
I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you
In everything that moves
In everything I do
I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched
With your love no one gets close to
I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you
Oh I can still feel you
Someone You Used To Know lyrics - Collin Raye
I ain't gonna lie to you
And say it didn't hurt
To see you with someone new
And you were wearing my old blue shirt
But it didn't kill me until we said hello
And I became someone you used to know
Like a friend, like a fool
Like some guy you knew in school
Didn't we love, didn't we share
Or don't you even care
I know we said we were through
But I never knew how quickly I would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know
Bet you didn't tell him
'Bout those weekends at the coast
Or how we used to argue
'Bout who loved who the most
Well I guess I won that one, 'cause I still need you so
But to you I'm just someone you used to know
Like a friend, like a fool
Like some guy you knew in school
Didn't we love, didn't we share
Or don't you even care
I know we said we were through
But I never knew how quickly I would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know
Didn't we love, didn't we share
Or don't you even care
I know we said that we were through
But I never knew how quickly I would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know
I'm not someone you love
I'm someone you used to know
And say it didn't hurt
To see you with someone new
And you were wearing my old blue shirt
But it didn't kill me until we said hello
And I became someone you used to know
Like a friend, like a fool
Like some guy you knew in school
Didn't we love, didn't we share
Or don't you even care
I know we said we were through
But I never knew how quickly I would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know
Bet you didn't tell him
'Bout those weekends at the coast
Or how we used to argue
'Bout who loved who the most
Well I guess I won that one, 'cause I still need you so
But to you I'm just someone you used to know
Like a friend, like a fool
Like some guy you knew in school
Didn't we love, didn't we share
Or don't you even care
I know we said we were through
But I never knew how quickly I would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know
Didn't we love, didn't we share
Or don't you even care
I know we said that we were through
But I never knew how quickly I would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know
I'm not someone you love
I'm someone you used to know
Corner Of The Heart lyrics - Collin Raye
Way down at the bottom
Both sides come together and form a V
And that's what mama calls
The corner of the heart
She says a lot of couples never turn that corner
They don't love that deep
They care a little while
Then they drift apart
Well now baby if you wonder why
I'm telling you all of this
It's because something is changing
I can feel it when we kiss
And if the moon keeps rising
You better hold on, I am
Turning the corner of of the heart
Back in Albuquerque
Near the river there was a cottonwood
One summer hooked up
With a climbing rose
And by the time it snowed
They were so tangled
Nothin' on earth could
Get that handsome couple to let go
Well now baby this world spins too quick
For the eye to see
The slow changing of a stranger into family
But if the moon keeps rising
You better hold on, I am
Turning the corner of the heart
Yes if the moon keeps rising
You better hold on, I am
Turning the corner of of the heart
Turning the corner of the heart
Turning the corner of the heart
Corner of the heart
Both sides come together and form a V
And that's what mama calls
The corner of the heart
She says a lot of couples never turn that corner
They don't love that deep
They care a little while
Then they drift apart
Well now baby if you wonder why
I'm telling you all of this
It's because something is changing
I can feel it when we kiss
And if the moon keeps rising
You better hold on, I am
Turning the corner of of the heart
Back in Albuquerque
Near the river there was a cottonwood
One summer hooked up
With a climbing rose
And by the time it snowed
They were so tangled
Nothin' on earth could
Get that handsome couple to let go
Well now baby this world spins too quick
For the eye to see
The slow changing of a stranger into family
But if the moon keeps rising
You better hold on, I am
Turning the corner of the heart
Yes if the moon keeps rising
You better hold on, I am
Turning the corner of of the heart
Turning the corner of the heart
Turning the corner of the heart
Corner of the heart
All My Roads lyrics - Collin Raye
Looking back from where I stand tonight
I wouldn't change a thing about my life
Wrong turns I had to take back in those crazy years
Could not have been mistakes if they brought me here
'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you
I don't regret a single broken heart
That taught me what love is and what it's not
Someone must have planned our two paths would cross
I couldn't see it then but I was never lost
'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you
Detours, dead ends, endless explorations
You were my only destination
'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you
I wouldn't change a thing about my life
Wrong turns I had to take back in those crazy years
Could not have been mistakes if they brought me here
'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you
I don't regret a single broken heart
That taught me what love is and what it's not
Someone must have planned our two paths would cross
I couldn't see it then but I was never lost
'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you
Detours, dead ends, endless explorations
You were my only destination
'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you
The Walls Came Down lyrics - Collin Raye
Today the air cleared up
The lights came on bright
Years of heavy weight
In a moment turned light
I'd thought love could only look
Dark as if through a glass
I just turned into an open book
Reading easy at last
Tonight my walls came down
Like a brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound
Like old Jericho
Laid swift to the ground
I'm not sure when, but baby you're how
The walls came down
I've never trusted much
Got my reasons like most
Stayed well protected from
Every thorn on each rose
Taking those wayward trips
Only to turn back and run
Sailing all my relationships
Could not have dreamed up this one
Tonight my walls came down
Like a brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound
Like old Jericho
Laid swift to the ground
I'm not sure when, but baby you're how
The walls came down
You make sense to me
In a world where just a few things do make sense to me
In your heart I'll put my trust
Through whatever is in front of us
Tonight my walls came down
Like a brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound
Like old Jericho
Laid swift to the ground
I'm not sure when, but baby you're how
The walls came down
Ooh baby you're how the walls came down
Oh the walls came down
The lights came on bright
Years of heavy weight
In a moment turned light
I'd thought love could only look
Dark as if through a glass
I just turned into an open book
Reading easy at last
Tonight my walls came down
Like a brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound
Like old Jericho
Laid swift to the ground
I'm not sure when, but baby you're how
The walls came down
I've never trusted much
Got my reasons like most
Stayed well protected from
Every thorn on each rose
Taking those wayward trips
Only to turn back and run
Sailing all my relationships
Could not have dreamed up this one
Tonight my walls came down
Like a brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound
Like old Jericho
Laid swift to the ground
I'm not sure when, but baby you're how
The walls came down
You make sense to me
In a world where just a few things do make sense to me
In your heart I'll put my trust
Through whatever is in front of us
Tonight my walls came down
Like a brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound
Like old Jericho
Laid swift to the ground
I'm not sure when, but baby you're how
The walls came down
Ooh baby you're how the walls came down
Oh the walls came down
April Fool lyrics - Collin Raye
I'm just a fool for April
There's nothing more to say
Long as I can remember
She's led my heart astray
When I was green as willow
She had me ditchin' school
And even then she tricked me
I'm just an April fool
She tangles dogwood blossoms
Into her yellow hair
She uses the same perfume
The smoky mountains wear
She keeps the flame of summer
'Round her neck like a jewel
She breezes in to see me
And I'm an April fool
She entrances me and she dances me
And she flies me like a kite
And I soon forget she's only come to play
Then there comes a day when she will not stay
And I lie awake all night
Hoping next time April may
When I walked out this morning
April had up and gone
And it clear as water
She'd only led me on
And it will be next winter
Before my heels will cool
And then I will forgive her
I'm just an April fool
She knows I will forgive her
I'm just an April fool
There's nothing more to say
Long as I can remember
She's led my heart astray
When I was green as willow
She had me ditchin' school
And even then she tricked me
I'm just an April fool
She tangles dogwood blossoms
Into her yellow hair
She uses the same perfume
The smoky mountains wear
She keeps the flame of summer
'Round her neck like a jewel
She breezes in to see me
And I'm an April fool
She entrances me and she dances me
And she flies me like a kite
And I soon forget she's only come to play
Then there comes a day when she will not stay
And I lie awake all night
Hoping next time April may
When I walked out this morning
April had up and gone
And it clear as water
She'd only led me on
And it will be next winter
Before my heels will cool
And then I will forgive her
I'm just an April fool
She knows I will forgive her
I'm just an April fool
Make Sure You've Got It All lyrics - Collin Raye
I'm watching you go from room to room
With all your boxes and your broom
Packing up, sweeping out, and taking down
From off the wall
Everything that's part of us
Tear my whole world down if you must
Don't even leave one little speck of dust
Make sure you've got it all
Take my heart, take my soul
Take it all with you when you go
Just leave the floor here to catch me when I fall
You stole my pride and dignity
You took it all away from me
Take one last look around
Girl, before you leave
And make sure you've got it all
Don't even leave one photograph
The memory of one smile or laugh
Check the closet up in the attic and down the hall
Take your time, take your rings
Take the sandbox and the swings
Without a family oh, they're just things
Make sure you've got it all
Take my heart, take my soul
Take it all with you when you go
Just leave the floor here to catch me when I fall
You stole my pride and dignity
You took it all away from me
Take one last look around
Girl, before you leave
And make sure you've got it all
Take one last look around
Girl, before you leave
And make sure you've got it all
With all your boxes and your broom
Packing up, sweeping out, and taking down
From off the wall
Everything that's part of us
Tear my whole world down if you must
Don't even leave one little speck of dust
Make sure you've got it all
Take my heart, take my soul
Take it all with you when you go
Just leave the floor here to catch me when I fall
You stole my pride and dignity
You took it all away from me
Take one last look around
Girl, before you leave
And make sure you've got it all
Don't even leave one photograph
The memory of one smile or laugh
Check the closet up in the attic and down the hall
Take your time, take your rings
Take the sandbox and the swings
Without a family oh, they're just things
Make sure you've got it all
Take my heart, take my soul
Take it all with you when you go
Just leave the floor here to catch me when I fall
You stole my pride and dignity
You took it all away from me
Take one last look around
Girl, before you leave
And make sure you've got it all
Take one last look around
Girl, before you leave
And make sure you've got it all
Survivors lyrics - Collin Raye
You've been my best friend all these years
You've kept holding on to me through all the trials and the tears
Only you and I could know all the sacrifices
That let this feeling grow
There were so many times we could have said goodbye
We could have called it quits but honey you and I
We're survivors we made through the storm
When I've needed shelter I've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
There were times I lost my mind
Took some wrong turns you got me back in line
There were times you lost control
But I stood by you I loved you heart and soul
When faith was tested and dreams were fading fast
We held each other close until the rain had passed
We're survivors we made through the storm
When I've needed shelter I've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
A little time and tenderness
Has seen us through the years
We'll still be side by side
When the final smoke has cleared
We're survivors we made through the storm
When I've needed shelter I've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
Together in this thing for life
You've kept holding on to me through all the trials and the tears
Only you and I could know all the sacrifices
That let this feeling grow
There were so many times we could have said goodbye
We could have called it quits but honey you and I
We're survivors we made through the storm
When I've needed shelter I've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
There were times I lost my mind
Took some wrong turns you got me back in line
There were times you lost control
But I stood by you I loved you heart and soul
When faith was tested and dreams were fading fast
We held each other close until the rain had passed
We're survivors we made through the storm
When I've needed shelter I've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
A little time and tenderness
Has seen us through the years
We'll still be side by side
When the final smoke has cleared
We're survivors we made through the storm
When I've needed shelter I've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
Together in this thing for life
The Eleventh Commandment lyrics - Collin Raye
She hears his heavy breathing in the dark
His footsteps coming closer down the hall
She's so ashamed, she's daddy's secret love
She wants to cry, she wants to die, but he can't get enough
The bruises on his face will go away
Mom keeps him home from school till they fade
She's sorry he was born and tells him so
He takes it in, he hangs his chin, he ducks another blow
Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
He cries for hours, cries and never stops
He shakes so hard his little cradle rocks
He'll never have the chance to be brand new
He'll never walk, he'll never talk, he's addicted too
Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain
Thou shalt not cause thy children pain
God does not overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
Honor thy children
His footsteps coming closer down the hall
She's so ashamed, she's daddy's secret love
She wants to cry, she wants to die, but he can't get enough
The bruises on his face will go away
Mom keeps him home from school till they fade
She's sorry he was born and tells him so
He takes it in, he hangs his chin, he ducks another blow
Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
He cries for hours, cries and never stops
He shakes so hard his little cradle rocks
He'll never have the chance to be brand new
He'll never walk, he'll never talk, he's addicted too
Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain
Thou shalt not cause thy children pain
God does not overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
Honor thy children
It Could Happen Again lyrics - Collin Raye
[Johnny Cash intro...]
"One frozen night in 1914,
at the height of WWI,
the unthinkable happened.
All along the entire western front,
the British and German soldiers
lay down they're weapons
in an unofficial ceast fire
to celebrate Christmas Eve together.
They exchanged gifts
and saw each other as brothers.
And that piece lasted for two more days,
when they were ordered back to battle.
In those few days, though,
men remembered the true meaning of christmas
amongst the devastation,
and it's a story that should never be forgotten..."
Through the smoke-filled night
Silence rolls from both sides
Aross a bloody battlefield
It was a cold Christmas Eve
In 1914
For those who were there it seemed unreal
As time was still the Spirit moved the soldiers
To lay down they're arms
Raise they're voice in song
And pretend for awhile
The war was over
If it could happen then,
It could happen again
A world torn apart
To join hands and hearts
To celebrate His birth
And peace on this Earth
If for one magic night
We could finally give a reason not to fight
Maybe there's a chance ..
This time it might last
As opposing sides approached
Through broken words they spoke
It wasn't long before they felt at ease
They shared they're cigarettes
What they had they used as gifts
They didn't feel like enemies.
With candles lit,
They stood shoulder to shoulder
And on that field they found
True common ground
And as they prayed
They dreamed the war was over
If it could happen then,
It could happen again
A world torn apart
To join hands and hearts
To celebrate His birth
And peace on this Earth
If for one magic night
We could finally give a reason not to fight
Maybe there's a chance ..
This time it might last
If it could happen then,
It could happen again...

The First Noel lyrics - Collin Raye
The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepards in fields as they lay:
In fields where they lay a-keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Then they looked up and saw a star,
Shining in the east, beyond them far:
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from the country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
This star drew nigh to the north-west;
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Then entered in those wise men three,
Fell reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the kind of Israel.
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Was to certain poor shepards in fields as they lay:
In fields where they lay a-keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Then they looked up and saw a star,
Shining in the east, beyond them far:
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

And by the light of that same star

To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
This star drew nigh to the north-west;
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.

And offered there in his presence

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with his blood mankind has bought.

Born is the King of Israel.
Away In A Manger lyrics - Collin Raye
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head,
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
And stay by my credo 'til morning is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in my tender care,
And take us to Heaven, to live with thee there
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head,
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
And stay by my credo 'til morning is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in my tender care,
And take us to Heaven, to live with thee there
White Christmas lyrics - Collin Raye
The sun is shining the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, LA
But it's December the 24th
And I'm longing to be up north.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white".
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white".
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, LA
But it's December the 24th
And I'm longing to be up north.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white".
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white".
Winter Wonderland lyrics - Collin Raye
Sleigh bells ring, are you list'ning?
In the lane, snow is glist'ning'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say "Are you married?"
We'll say "No, man!
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lot's of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows ain't it thrillin'?
Though your nose gets a chillin'
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the lane, snow is glist'ning'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say "Are you married?"
We'll say "No, man!
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lot's of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows ain't it thrillin'?
Though your nose gets a chillin'
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
O Holy Night lyrics - Collin Raye
O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in greatful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord
O praise His name forever
His power and glory ever more proclaim
His power and glory ever more proclaim
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
His power and glory ever more proclaim
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
His power and glory ever more proclaim
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in greatful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord
O praise His name forever
His power and glory ever more proclaim
His power and glory ever more proclaim
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
His power and glory ever more proclaim
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
His power and glory ever more proclaim
I Think About You lyrics - Collin Raye
Everytime I see a woman on a billboard sign
I think about you
Saying "drink this beer and you'll be mine"
I think about you
When an actress on a movie screen
Plays Lolita in some old man's dreams
It doesn't matter who she is
I think about you
When I see a pretty woman walking down the street
I think about you
Men look her up and down like she's some kind of treat
I think about you
She wouldn't dare talk to a stranger
always has to be aware of the danger
it doesn't matter who she is
I think about
[Chorus:]
You eight years old
big blue eyes and a heart of gold
when I look at this world, I think about
You and I can't help but see
that every woman used to be
Somebody's little girl, I think about you
Everytime I hear people say it's never gonna change
I think about you
Like it's some kind fo joke, some kind of game
I think about you
When I see a woman on the news
who didn't ask to be abandoned or abused
it doesn't matter who she is
I think about
[Chorus]
When I look at this world I think about you
I think about you
Saying "drink this beer and you'll be mine"
I think about you
When an actress on a movie screen
Plays Lolita in some old man's dreams
It doesn't matter who she is
I think about you
When I see a pretty woman walking down the street
I think about you
Men look her up and down like she's some kind of treat
I think about you
She wouldn't dare talk to a stranger
always has to be aware of the danger
it doesn't matter who she is
I think about
[Chorus:]
You eight years old
big blue eyes and a heart of gold
when I look at this world, I think about
You and I can't help but see
that every woman used to be
Somebody's little girl, I think about you
Everytime I hear people say it's never gonna change
I think about you
Like it's some kind fo joke, some kind of game
I think about you
When I see a woman on the news
who didn't ask to be abandoned or abused
it doesn't matter who she is
I think about
[Chorus]
When I look at this world I think about you
Not That Different lyrics - Collin Raye
She said we're much too different
We're from two separate worlds
And he admitted she was partly right
But in his heart's defense he told her
What they had in common
Was strong enough to bond them for life
He said look behind your own soul
And the person that you'll see
Just might remind you of me
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things, too
So we're really not that different, me and you
She could hardly argue
With his pure and simple logic
But logic never could convince a heart
She had always dreamed of loving someone more exotic
And he just didn't seem to fit the part
So she searched for greener pastures
But never could forget
What he whispered when she left
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things, too
So we're really not that different, me and you
Was it time or was it truth
Maybe both lead her back to his door
As her tears fell at his feet
She didn't say "I love you"
What she said meant even more
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things, too
So we're really not that different, me and you
We're from two separate worlds
And he admitted she was partly right
But in his heart's defense he told her
What they had in common
Was strong enough to bond them for life
He said look behind your own soul
And the person that you'll see
Just might remind you of me
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things, too
So we're really not that different, me and you
She could hardly argue
With his pure and simple logic
But logic never could convince a heart
She had always dreamed of loving someone more exotic
And he just didn't seem to fit the part
So she searched for greener pastures
But never could forget
What he whispered when she left
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things, too
So we're really not that different, me and you
Was it time or was it truth
Maybe both lead her back to his door
As her tears fell at his feet
She didn't say "I love you"
What she said meant even more
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things, too
So we're really not that different, me and you
On The Verge lyrics - Collin Raye
Well they shouldn't have played that good
I got carried away and let the music go to my head
Well she shouldn't have worn that dress
The way it curled around when she was spinning
Just killed me dead
My heart began to tell my body and my soul
That it had gotten in the mood to lose control
[Chorus]
Oh no, when did neon light turn into moonglow
When did that jukebox turn to a rainbow
I'm about to give into this urge
One more slow dance with her arms around me
One more long glance and nothing will slow me down
I got no chance, if I'm not in love I'm on the verge
All I wanted to be was cool
It ain't my style to overheat, much less burn
But as we floated across the floor
All at once I flashed right past the point, of no return
And when we said goodnight the sun was on the rise
And any stars that hadn't set had fallen in my eyes
[Chorus]
I got carried away and let the music go to my head
Well she shouldn't have worn that dress
The way it curled around when she was spinning
Just killed me dead
My heart began to tell my body and my soul
That it had gotten in the mood to lose control
[Chorus]
Oh no, when did neon light turn into moonglow
When did that jukebox turn to a rainbow
I'm about to give into this urge
One more slow dance with her arms around me
One more long glance and nothing will slow me down
I got no chance, if I'm not in love I'm on the verge
All I wanted to be was cool
It ain't my style to overheat, much less burn
But as we floated across the floor
All at once I flashed right past the point, of no return
And when we said goodnight the sun was on the rise
And any stars that hadn't set had fallen in my eyes
[Chorus]
One Boy, One Girl lyrics - Collin Raye
He finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend
When she said, "there's someone you should meet"
At a crowded restaurant way cross town
He waited impatiently
When she walked in their eyes met
and they both stared
And right there and then everyone else disappeared but
[Chorus:]
One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world revolved
Around one boy and one girl
In no time at all they were standing there
In the front of a little church
In front of their friends and family
Repeating those sacred words
Preacher said, "son kiss your bride"
and he raised her veil
Like the night they met time just stood still
[Repeat Chorus]
He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned
"congratulations, twins"
[Repeat Chorus]
When she said, "there's someone you should meet"
At a crowded restaurant way cross town
He waited impatiently
When she walked in their eyes met
and they both stared
And right there and then everyone else disappeared but
[Chorus:]
One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world revolved
Around one boy and one girl
In no time at all they were standing there
In the front of a little church
In front of their friends and family
Repeating those sacred words
Preacher said, "son kiss your bride"
and he raised her veil
Like the night they met time just stood still
[Repeat Chorus]
He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned
"congratulations, twins"

Sweet Miss Behavin' lyrics - Collin Raye
Sweet miss behavin'
Honey now is it true
You got the whole town talkin'
About the things you do
They say you're trouble
But trouble never looked so good
Are you miss behavin'
Or a little miss understood
You like to dance
You like to flirt
Shake and shimmy
In your mini skirt
You're leading me on
To an early grave
Honey won't you please behave
Sweet miss behavin'
Honey now it ain't right
If you're miss behavin'
With anyone but me tonight
Well you caused the train
To jump the track
You just kept goin'
And you never looked back
You show no mercy
Got no shame
Honey won't you please behave
Sweet miss behavin'
Honey now it ain't right
If you're miss behavin'
With anyone but me tonight
Sweet miss behavin'
Honey let's do it right
We'll go miss behavin'
Together tonight
Let's go miss behavin' tonight
Honey now is it true
You got the whole town talkin'
About the things you do
They say you're trouble
But trouble never looked so good
Are you miss behavin'
Or a little miss understood
You like to dance
You like to flirt
Shake and shimmy
In your mini skirt
You're leading me on
To an early grave
Honey won't you please behave
Sweet miss behavin'
Honey now it ain't right
If you're miss behavin'
With anyone but me tonight
Well you caused the train
To jump the track
You just kept goin'
And you never looked back
You show no mercy
Got no shame
Honey won't you please behave
Sweet miss behavin'
Honey now it ain't right
If you're miss behavin'
With anyone but me tonight
Sweet miss behavin'
Honey let's do it right
We'll go miss behavin'
Together tonight
Let's go miss behavin' tonight
Heart Full Of Rain lyrics - Collin Raye
I believe I've attempted every move that I know
I was sure that by now you'd have let yourself go
I've been living my heart out, and without any shame
gotten down on my knees just to kindle this flam
But tonight I am down to the wire
I've been striking these matches in vain
Got a whole lot of smoke but no fire
'Cause you got a heart full of rain
Now somewhere in your history there's a reason or two
Why you won't let a body get close to you
Why the truth that I whisper always sounds like a lie
Why you're drowning inside from the tears you don't cry
But your eyes have never been dryer
And you smile like you're felling no pain
Got a whole lot of smoke but no fire
'Cause you got a heart full of rain
I had hoped I could open the heart that you hide
'Cause it sure needs a little sunshine inside
But tonight I am down to the wire
I've been striking these matches in vain
Got a whole lot of smoke but no fire
'Cause you got a heart full of rain
I was sure that by now you'd have let yourself go
I've been living my heart out, and without any shame
gotten down on my knees just to kindle this flam
But tonight I am down to the wire
I've been striking these matches in vain
Got a whole lot of smoke but no fire
'Cause you got a heart full of rain
Now somewhere in your history there's a reason or two
Why you won't let a body get close to you
Why the truth that I whisper always sounds like a lie
Why you're drowning inside from the tears you don't cry
But your eyes have never been dryer
And you smile like you're felling no pain
Got a whole lot of smoke but no fire
'Cause you got a heart full of rain
I had hoped I could open the heart that you hide
'Cause it sure needs a little sunshine inside
But tonight I am down to the wire
I've been striking these matches in vain
Got a whole lot of smoke but no fire
'Cause you got a heart full of rain
What If Jesus Comes Back Like That lyrics - Collin Raye
He came to town on an old freight train
He jumped off in the puring rain
Everybody says he's insane
Just a low down account hobo
He made his bed beneath the county bridge
The town folks said that's not his
They signed a petition they're gonna get rid
Of that white trash low down no count
What if Jesus comes back like that
On an old freight train in a hobo hat
Will we let him in or turn our back
What if Jesus comes back like that
Hey what if Jesus comes back like that
Born with a habit of drug abuse
She couldn't help what her mama used
It wasn't like she got to choose
Now she's layin' there all alone
Got a monkey on her back
Nurses say they never saw a smile like that
Doctor says she might stand a chance
If somebody takes her home
What if Jesus comes back like that
Two months early and hooked on crack
Will we let him in or turn our back
What if Jesus comes back like that
Oh what if Jesus comes back like that
Nobody said life is fair
We've all got a cross to bear
When it gets a little hard to care
Just think of Jesus hanging there
He came to town on a cold dark night
A single star was his only light
The baby born that silent night
A manger for his bed
What if Jesus comes back like that
Where will he find out hearts are at
Will he let us in or turn his back
Hey what if Jesus comes back like that
Yeh what if Jesus comes back like that
Will he cry when he sees where our hearts are at
Will he let us in or turn his back
Hey what if Jesus comes back like that
Oh what if Jesus comes back like that
He jumped off in the puring rain
Everybody says he's insane
Just a low down account hobo
He made his bed beneath the county bridge
The town folks said that's not his
They signed a petition they're gonna get rid
Of that white trash low down no count
What if Jesus comes back like that
On an old freight train in a hobo hat
Will we let him in or turn our back
What if Jesus comes back like that
Hey what if Jesus comes back like that
Born with a habit of drug abuse
She couldn't help what her mama used
It wasn't like she got to choose
Now she's layin' there all alone
Got a monkey on her back
Nurses say they never saw a smile like that
Doctor says she might stand a chance
If somebody takes her home
What if Jesus comes back like that
Two months early and hooked on crack
Will we let him in or turn our back
What if Jesus comes back like that
Oh what if Jesus comes back like that
Nobody said life is fair
We've all got a cross to bear
When it gets a little hard to care
Just think of Jesus hanging there
He came to town on a cold dark night
A single star was his only light
The baby born that silent night
A manger for his bed
What if Jesus comes back like that
Where will he find out hearts are at
Will he let us in or turn his back
Hey what if Jesus comes back like that
Yeh what if Jesus comes back like that
Will he cry when he sees where our hearts are at
Will he let us in or turn his back
Hey what if Jesus comes back like that
Oh what if Jesus comes back like that
The Time Machine lyrics - Collin Raye
He circled and stared
Nervous and scared
He knew both the thrill and the cost
But he didn't think twice
This amazing device
Was his last chance to see what he'd lost
If time is really a river
And upstream's where he needed to be
He set his sights on the past
Finished his glass
And went back in history
To the casual eye it's a bar stool
But it's really much more than it seems
A few drinks and then
She'll be with him again
As he sits on the time machine
Like all pioneers
He swallowed his fears
And watched the whole room fade to black
He's dying to go
But he's no fool, he knows
How hard it will be to come back
But tonight he's tired of the lonely
And tomorrow will not be the cure
So he'll just slip away
Find yesterday
And spend one more night with her
Now as far as these customers can tell
He's just one more fool who talks to himself
But every man in this place would line up
If they knew what that seat really was (but)
To the casual eye it's a bar stool
But it's really much more than it seems
A few drinks and then
She'll be with him again
As he sits on the time machine
Just a few drinks and then
She'll be with him again
As he sits on the time machine
Nervous and scared
He knew both the thrill and the cost
But he didn't think twice
This amazing device
Was his last chance to see what he'd lost
If time is really a river
And upstream's where he needed to be
He set his sights on the past
Finished his glass
And went back in history
To the casual eye it's a bar stool
But it's really much more than it seems
A few drinks and then
She'll be with him again
As he sits on the time machine
Like all pioneers
He swallowed his fears
And watched the whole room fade to black
He's dying to go
But he's no fool, he knows
How hard it will be to come back
But tonight he's tired of the lonely
And tomorrow will not be the cure
So he'll just slip away
Find yesterday
And spend one more night with her
Now as far as these customers can tell
He's just one more fool who talks to himself
But every man in this place would line up
If they knew what that seat really was (but)
To the casual eye it's a bar stool
But it's really much more than it seems
A few drinks and then
She'll be with him again
As he sits on the time machine
Just a few drinks and then
She'll be with him again
As he sits on the time machine
I Love Being Wrong lyrics - Collin Raye
I was absolutely certain
I'd made up my mind
I'd never fall for you
Not in this lifetime
You said I was mistaken
I'd be yours in the end
I never thought it could happen
But baby you win
And I love being wrong when it feels like it feels tonight
I'd a whole lot rather be here in your arms than be right
Now that we're together, wish I hadn't waited so long
I'm finding out how much I love being wrong
Under normal circumstances
I think I know my stuff
But the rules all change
When it comes to love
It's the last thing I expected
Now it's all that I want
Just in case you're feeling guilty
Baby don't
'Cause I love being wrong when it feels like it feels tonight
I'd a whole lot rather be herein your arms than be right
Now that we're together, wish I hadn't waited so long
I'm finding out how much I love being wrong
I'd made up my mind
I'd never fall for you
Not in this lifetime
You said I was mistaken
I'd be yours in the end
I never thought it could happen
But baby you win
And I love being wrong when it feels like it feels tonight
I'd a whole lot rather be here in your arms than be right
Now that we're together, wish I hadn't waited so long
I'm finding out how much I love being wrong
Under normal circumstances
I think I know my stuff
But the rules all change
When it comes to love
It's the last thing I expected
Now it's all that I want
Just in case you're feeling guilty
Baby don't
'Cause I love being wrong when it feels like it feels tonight
I'd a whole lot rather be herein your arms than be right
Now that we're together, wish I hadn't waited so long
I'm finding out how much I love being wrong

Love Remains lyrics - Collin Raye
We are born one fine day
Children of God on our way
Mama smiles daddy cries
Miracle before their eyes
They protect us til' we're of age
Through it all love remains
Boy moves and takes a bride
She stands faithful by his side
Tears and sweat they build a home
Raise a family of their own
They share joy they share pain
Through it all love remains
Kingdoms come and go they don't last
Before you know the future is the past
In spite if what's been lost
What's been gained we are
Living proof love remains
I don't know baby what I'd do
On this earth without you
We all live we all die
We don't know the reason why
In the end nothing's changed
Life goes on love remains
In the end it stays the same
Life goes on love remains
Children of God on our way
Mama smiles daddy cries
Miracle before their eyes
They protect us til' we're of age
Through it all love remains
Boy moves and takes a bride
She stands faithful by his side
Tears and sweat they build a home
Raise a family of their own
They share joy they share pain
Through it all love remains
Kingdoms come and go they don't last
Before you know the future is the past
In spite if what's been lost
What's been gained we are
Living proof love remains
I don't know baby what I'd do
On this earth without you
We all live we all die
We don't know the reason why
In the end nothing's changed
Life goes on love remains
In the end it stays the same
Life goes on love remains
That's My Story lyrics - Collin Raye
I came in as the sun came up.
She glared at me over her coffee cup.
She said, "Where you been?"
So I thoguht real hard and said,
"I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard."
She said, "You don't know it boy, but you just blew it."
And I said, "Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
That's my story.
Oh, that's my story.
Well, I ain't got a witness, and I can't prove it,
but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."
I got that deer-in-the-headlight look.
She read my face like the cover of a book and said,
"Don't expect me to believe all that static,
'cause just last week I threw that hammock in the attic."
My skin got so thin so you could see right through it,
and I stuttered, "Well that's my story and I'm stickin t-t-to it.
That's my story.
Well, that's my story.
I ain't got a witness, and I can't prove it,
but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."
You know the time comes when a wise man knows
the best thing that he can do is just look her in the eye
and beg for mercy and face the bitter truth...
Well honey me and the boys played cards all night.
There wasn't no hanky-panky, not a woman in sight.
I know I should called, and baby I.. I'm really sorry,
but get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry.
You know how much I love ya, darling, and I'm ready to prove it.
And that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
That's my story,
oh, that's my story.
Well I ain't got a witness and ya know I can't prove it.
But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
You know I ain't gonna do a thing darling unless you approve it.
And that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
She glared at me over her coffee cup.
She said, "Where you been?"
So I thoguht real hard and said,
"I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard."
She said, "You don't know it boy, but you just blew it."
And I said, "Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
That's my story.
Oh, that's my story.
Well, I ain't got a witness, and I can't prove it,
but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."
I got that deer-in-the-headlight look.
She read my face like the cover of a book and said,
"Don't expect me to believe all that static,
'cause just last week I threw that hammock in the attic."
My skin got so thin so you could see right through it,
and I stuttered, "Well that's my story and I'm stickin t-t-to it.
That's my story.
Well, that's my story.
I ain't got a witness, and I can't prove it,
but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."
You know the time comes when a wise man knows
the best thing that he can do is just look her in the eye
and beg for mercy and face the bitter truth...
Well honey me and the boys played cards all night.
There wasn't no hanky-panky, not a woman in sight.
I know I should called, and baby I.. I'm really sorry,
but get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry.
You know how much I love ya, darling, and I'm ready to prove it.
And that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
That's my story,
oh, that's my story.
Well I ain't got a witness and ya know I can't prove it.
But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
You know I ain't gonna do a thing darling unless you approve it.
And that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Man Of My Word lyrics - Raye
I'm a man of my word
I mean what I say
My pledge is my bond
Well
that's just my way
When you've made a promise
To someone who's gone
Well
that's when forever
Seems a little too long
I'm a man of my word
And
I made you a vow
I swore that I'd love you
And I can't change that now
They tell me I'm free
To find someone new
I just don't have the heart
'Cause I gave mine to you
I said my love
Would last for all time
And
no one
Would take your place
Well if that promise
Was the last sound you heard
Well you know I kept it
I'm a man of my word
I'm a
man of my word
And it's cost me so dear
'Cause those words are a prison
Without
you here
And I'll go to my grave
With this torch held high
Bust just
once I wish
I had told you a lie.
Yes I'll always love you
I'm
a man of my word
I mean what I say
My pledge is my bond
Well
that's just my way
When you've made a promise
To someone who's gone
Well
that's when forever
Seems a little too long
I'm a man of my word
And
I made you a vow
I swore that I'd love you
And I can't change that now
They tell me I'm free
To find someone new
I just don't have the heart
'Cause I gave mine to you
I said my love
Would last for all time
And
no one
Would take your place
Well if that promise
Was the last sound you heard
Well you know I kept it
I'm a man of my word
I'm a
man of my word
And it's cost me so dear
'Cause those words are a prison
Without
you here
And I'll go to my grave
With this torch held high
Bust just
once I wish
I had told you a lie.
Yes I'll always love you
I'm
a man of my word
My Kind Of Girl lyrics - Collin Raye
When I saw you buying Cosmo and a hot rod magazine,
I said to myself 'Now there's a girl for me.'
And when I asked you to go for a ride,
you stole my heart when you said, "If I can drive."
I said, "How 'bout some music?"
you said, "You got any Merle?"
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl.
and when we started talking i could not believe my ears
you said you were a Braves fan even through the rotten years
you quoted William Parker and Martin Luther King
you said your favorite movie star would always be James Dean
and when we went to dinner you wore blue jeans with your pearls
that's when i knew you were my kind of girl
You march to the beat of a different drum,
the funny thing is that I hear the same one.
We both like to color outside of the lines.
We're peas in a pod, girl we're two of a kind.
You march to the beat of a different drum,
the funny thing is that I hear the same one.
We both like to color outside of the lines.
We're peas in a pod, girl we're two of a kind.
I said, "I think I love you,"
you said, "What's not to love?"
I thought about a kiss, but I wasn't quick enough.
I guess while I was thinking you were reading my mind,
'cause you wrapped your arms around me
and you pressed your lips to mine.
You set my head spinning just like a tilt-a-whirl,
that's when I knew you were my kind of girl.
You set my head a-spinnin' just like a tilt-a-whirl,
that's when I knew you were my kind of girl.
I said to myself 'Now there's a girl for me.'
And when I asked you to go for a ride,
you stole my heart when you said, "If I can drive."
I said, "How 'bout some music?"
you said, "You got any Merle?"
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl.
and when we started talking i could not believe my ears
you said you were a Braves fan even through the rotten years
you quoted William Parker and Martin Luther King
you said your favorite movie star would always be James Dean
and when we went to dinner you wore blue jeans with your pearls
that's when i knew you were my kind of girl
You march to the beat of a different drum,
the funny thing is that I hear the same one.
We both like to color outside of the lines.
We're peas in a pod, girl we're two of a kind.
You march to the beat of a different drum,
the funny thing is that I hear the same one.
We both like to color outside of the lines.
We're peas in a pod, girl we're two of a kind.
I said, "I think I love you,"
you said, "What's not to love?"
I thought about a kiss, but I wasn't quick enough.
I guess while I was thinking you were reading my mind,
'cause you wrapped your arms around me
and you pressed your lips to mine.
You set my head spinning just like a tilt-a-whirl,
that's when I knew you were my kind of girl.
You set my head a-spinnin' just like a tilt-a-whirl,
that's when I knew you were my kind of girl.
Little Rock lyrics - Collin Raye
Well, I know I disappeared a time or two,
and along the way I lost me and you.
I needed a new town for my new start
selling VCR's in Arkansas at a Wal-Mart.
I haven't had a drink in nineteen days.
My eyes are clear and bright without that haze.
I like the preacher from the Church of Christ.
Sorry that I cried when I talked to you last night.
I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock.
I'm solid as a stone, baby, wait and see.
I've got just one small problem here in Little Rock,
without you, baby I'm not me.
I don't know why I held it all inside,
you must've thought I never even tried.
You know your daddy told me when I left
that Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't forget.
I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock.
I'm solid as a stone, baby, wait and see.
I've got just one small problem here in Little Rock,
without you, baby I'm not me.
Lying here upon this motel bed,
my thoughts of you explode inside my head.
Like a castle built upon the sand,
I let love crumble in my hand.
I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock.
I'm solid as a stone, baby, wait and see.
I've got just one small problem here in Little Rock,
without you, baby I'm not me.
Without you, baby I'm not me...
I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock.
and along the way I lost me and you.
I needed a new town for my new start
selling VCR's in Arkansas at a Wal-Mart.
I haven't had a drink in nineteen days.
My eyes are clear and bright without that haze.
I like the preacher from the Church of Christ.
Sorry that I cried when I talked to you last night.
I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock.
I'm solid as a stone, baby, wait and see.
I've got just one small problem here in Little Rock,
without you, baby I'm not me.
I don't know why I held it all inside,
you must've thought I never even tried.
You know your daddy told me when I left
that Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't forget.
I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock.
I'm solid as a stone, baby, wait and see.
I've got just one small problem here in Little Rock,
without you, baby I'm not me.
Lying here upon this motel bed,
my thoughts of you explode inside my head.
Like a castle built upon the sand,
I let love crumble in my hand.
I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock.
I'm solid as a stone, baby, wait and see.
I've got just one small problem here in Little Rock,
without you, baby I'm not me.
Without you, baby I'm not me...
I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock.
A Bible And A Bus Ticket Home lyrics - Collin Raye
Mamma's tears fell so easy
Daddy's handshake was strong
Then I climbed aboard that Greyhound
Eighteen and glad to be gone
Took a rented room on broadway
As I unpacked everything I owed
I found a note my mamma left me
With a Bible and a bus ticket home (It said)
One will get you where you're going
When you haven't got a prayer
And one will bring you back son
If you're dreams ain't waiting there
You're out on your own now
We won't be there to fall back on
But you know we're never farther
Than a Bible and a bus ticket home.
The years have come and gone and taken
The only things in life I ever counted on
But I'm going back tomorrow
To lay flowers on their stone.
I can almost hear my mamma calling
Saying son come back where you belong
You've got all you need to get here
A Bible and a bus ticket home
One will get you where you're going
When you haven't got a prayer
And one will bring you back son
If you're dreams ain't waiting there
You're out on your own now
We won't be there to fall back on
But you know we're never farther
Than a Bible and a bus ticket home.
Daddy's handshake was strong
Then I climbed aboard that Greyhound
Eighteen and glad to be gone
Took a rented room on broadway
As I unpacked everything I owed
I found a note my mamma left me
With a Bible and a bus ticket home (It said)
One will get you where you're going
When you haven't got a prayer
And one will bring you back son
If you're dreams ain't waiting there
You're out on your own now
We won't be there to fall back on
But you know we're never farther
Than a Bible and a bus ticket home.
The years have come and gone and taken
The only things in life I ever counted on
But I'm going back tomorrow
To lay flowers on their stone.
I can almost hear my mamma calling
Saying son come back where you belong
You've got all you need to get here
A Bible and a bus ticket home
One will get you where you're going
When you haven't got a prayer
And one will bring you back son
If you're dreams ain't waiting there
You're out on your own now
We won't be there to fall back on
But you know we're never farther
Than a Bible and a bus ticket home.
Nothin' A Little Love Won't Cure lyrics - Collin Raye
It's been one of those days I can do no right
I can't win for losing try as I might
I'm feeling walked on like an old doormat
Lord, I hate feeling like that
Though my best laid plans took a slight detour
Ain't nothing a little love won't cure.
Ain't nothing your arms around me tight
Can't turn around and make all right
So, shut that crazy world outside
Love me back to life tonight.
It's been one of those days
I should've stayed in bed
I've been getting my brains beat out instead
I took it on the chin, I took there best shot
But I'll be O.K. when I'm punching that clock.
'Cause, when I'm back in your arms one thing's for sure
Ain't nothing a little love won't cure
I can't win for losing try as I might
I'm feeling walked on like an old doormat
Lord, I hate feeling like that
Though my best laid plans took a slight detour
Ain't nothing a little love won't cure.
Ain't nothing your arms around me tight
Can't turn around and make all right
So, shut that crazy world outside
Love me back to life tonight.
It's been one of those days
I should've stayed in bed
I've been getting my brains beat out instead
I took it on the chin, I took there best shot
But I'll be O.K. when I'm punching that clock.
'Cause, when I'm back in your arms one thing's for sure
Ain't nothing a little love won't cure
If I Were You lyrics - Collin Raye
You want to know where we go from here.
So many roads, but none that seem clear.
Is what we have enough to last a whole life through?
Who knows? Baby, who knows?
So you're asking me 'what do we do'?
'Cause time moves so fast, and the chances seem so few.
Is it too much to think that we could have it all?
Who knows? We may never know.
But if I were you I'd promise to live life for all it's worth.
Take all that you've been given and leave your mark upon this earth.
Trust your heart to show you everything you'll ever need.
And if I were you, I'd fall in love with me.
So hold me close, I'll kiss away your fears.
I won't promise the moon, but I promise to be here.
And what if together it gets better everyday?
Who knows? We may never know...
But if I were you I'd promise to live life for all its worth.
Take all that you've been given and leave your mark upon this earth.
Trust your heart to show you everything you'll ever need.
And if I were you, I'd fall in love with me.
If I were you, I'd fall in love with me.
So many roads, but none that seem clear.
Is what we have enough to last a whole life through?
Who knows? Baby, who knows?
So you're asking me 'what do we do'?
'Cause time moves so fast, and the chances seem so few.
Is it too much to think that we could have it all?
Who knows? We may never know.
But if I were you I'd promise to live life for all it's worth.
Take all that you've been given and leave your mark upon this earth.
Trust your heart to show you everything you'll ever need.
And if I were you, I'd fall in love with me.
So hold me close, I'll kiss away your fears.
I won't promise the moon, but I promise to be here.
And what if together it gets better everyday?
Who knows? We may never know...
But if I were you I'd promise to live life for all its worth.
Take all that you've been given and leave your mark upon this earth.
Trust your heart to show you everything you'll ever need.
And if I were you, I'd fall in love with me.
If I were you, I'd fall in love with me.
To The Border And Beyond lyrics - Collin Raye
Well Duggan was a purebred hill country kicker
He loved to shoot his pistols
And he loved to drink his liquor
His daddy had long since given up on tryin'
To tame him
He knew he hated sweatin' in the fields
He couldn't blame him
But when his only son robbed the Chillicothe Flyer
He guessed the days were numbered
Till he'd have to face the fire
Well Duggan rode up to the house
His pa ran out to meet him
He said "Son, why'd you do it?"
Duggan said "I had my reasons"
His daddy told him, "Boy, you've always been
So full of juice, but any day your neck
It will be hangin' in a noose."
Duggan winked and mounted, stirred his
Horse into a lather
He never looked back... guess it really didn't matter
It wasn't too long till a team of Texas Rangers
Pounded on the door, man, faces
Filled with anger
Duggan's papa opened up, said "No need to shout,
I don't know where he is
But I know what he's all about."
He likes to dance out to the edge
He likes to cut to the chase
You see he's never been one for reinin' back
To a slow and steady pace
If you ask me where he's bound
Well, boys, I just can't respond
But from the look in his eyes
It's a safe bet he's headed
To the border and beyond.
Well the moral of this tale
Is you can't change a leopard's spots
Don't blame a man for failing to be
Something that he's not
So girl, with that in mind
Won't you step into the light
We'll move just left of center
Till we finally get it right
Remember I'm a push it to the limit
Kind of guy
You may ask me how we'll do it
But no need to ask me why
I like to dance out to the edge
I like to cut to the chase
You see, I've never been one for reinin' back
To a slow and steady pace
If you ask me where we're bound
Well, honey, I just can't respond
But from the look in your eyes
It's a safe bet we're headed
To the border and beyond.
He loved to shoot his pistols
And he loved to drink his liquor
His daddy had long since given up on tryin'

Angel Of No Mercy lyrics - Collin Raye
Heaven knows where I'd be now
If you had not found me
On that road that takes a man
To places he's not meant to be.
I wasn't ready for the touch
That turned my life around
Now I'm helpless in your hands
It's love that ties me down.
Angel of no mercy
Girl you take my breath away
And it feels so good it hurts me
To think that you might fly away
Can't you see that I've surrendered
You stole this old heart blind
You're an angel of no mercy
But I don't mind.
Ain't it strange how love can take
A heart that's hard as steel
Hold it tightly in the fire
And teach that cold heart how to feel.
Touch me now, I'm still not sure
You're truly flesh and bone
Heaven knows you can't be from
This world that I live on.
Angel of no mercy
Girl you take my breath away
And it feels so good it hurts me
To think that you might fly away
Can't you see that I've surrendered
You stole this old heart blind
You're an angel of no mercy
But I don't mind.
If you had not found me
On that road that takes a man
To places he's not meant to be.
I wasn't ready for the touch
That turned my life around
Now I'm helpless in your hands
It's love that ties me down.
Angel of no mercy
Girl you take my breath away
And it feels so good it hurts me
To think that you might fly away
Can't you see that I've surrendered
You stole this old heart blind
You're an angel of no mercy
But I don't mind.
Ain't it strange how love can take
A heart that's hard as steel
Hold it tightly in the fire
And teach that cold heart how to feel.
Touch me now, I'm still not sure
You're truly flesh and bone
Heaven knows you can't be from
This world that I live on.
Angel of no mercy
Girl you take my breath away
And it feels so good it hurts me
To think that you might fly away
Can't you see that I've surrendered
You stole this old heart blind
You're an angel of no mercy
But I don't mind.
Dreaming My Dreams With You lyrics - Collin Raye
I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore
Maybe I've learned this time
I hope that I'll find what I'm reachin' for
The way that it is in my mind
[Chorus:]
Someday I'll get over you
And I'll live to see it all through
Still I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you.
But I won't let it change me, not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away as much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of.
[Chorus: x3]
Someday I'll get over you
And I'll live to see it all through
Still I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you.
Still I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you.
Someday I'll get over you.
Maybe I've learned this time
I hope that I'll find what I'm reachin' for
The way that it is in my mind
[Chorus:]
Someday I'll get over you
And I'll live to see it all through
Still I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you.
But I won't let it change me, not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away as much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of.
[Chorus: x3]
Someday I'll get over you
And I'll live to see it all through
Still I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you.
Still I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you.
Someday I'll get over you.
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
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

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.

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...

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
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...
