A Whole New World lyrics - Collin Raye
(originally by Brad Kane & Lea Salonga)
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Can you tell me, now when did
You last let your hear decide?
Oh, I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
A hundred thousand things to see
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
With new horizons to pursue
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A wondrous place
For you and me
Get Up In Jesus' Name lyrics - Collin Raye
Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name!
The Lord is calling daily to those
Who would be saved.
Don't go down defeated while victory's
Here to claim.
Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name!
At the gate called beautiful, there laid out in the street,
A poor and lowly beggar who was crippled in his feet.
As John and Peter passed him, they saw his need was bad.
They had no gold or silver, but they gave him what they had.
Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name!
The Lord is calling daily to those
Who would be saved.
Don't go down defeated while victory's
Here to claim.
Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name!
In this day in which we live in, you know there's evil everywhere.
The body seems discouraged and overcome with fear.
Well God is needin' soldiers, to get out of the pews
And take hold of that power that John and Peter used.
Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name!
The Lord is calling daily to those
Who would be saved.
Don't go down defeated while victory's
Here to claim.
Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name!
One Day lyrics - Jackson Michelson & Collin Raye
He's superman running down the halls
She's trying to put your make up on in the mirror
Waiting on her best friends call
I know they can drive us crazy
But baby they won't stay babies forever
Yeah, it won't be long
One day he's gonna want my keys
One day she'll be seventeen
Running down the stairs in a prom dress
And we'll be saying time went by fast
Wishing we could get some back
Cause one day they walk and I swear the next they run
Baby, someday we'll be wishing for one day
One day when they were young
Soccer games doing homework late
Her going on and on about boys at school
It's just the start
One day he'll buy a beer for me
One day she'll have a diamond ring
I'll be walking her down the aisle in a pretty dress
And we'll be saying time went by fast
Wishing we could get some back
Cause one day they walk and I swear the next they run
Baby, someday we'll be wishing for one day
Just one day when they were
Knocking on our door at midnight
Saying, daddy, can I sleep with you
After church making homemade pizza
The little things that we always do
Baby, time won't stop even if we want it to
So we can't waste a single day...
One day before we know it
Our names will both have a grand before it
And our granddaughter will be spinning in a Sunday dress
Yeah, we'll be saying time went by fast
Wishing we could get some back
Cause one day they walk and I swear the next they run
(I swear the next they run)
Baby, someday we'll be wishing for one day
So don't waste one day
No, don't waste one day
One day when they're young
Gypsy Honeymoon lyrics - Collin Raye
Outta her head
And outta her dreams
There he was just the way she's seen him
Lookin' at her a thousand times before
Said I can't believe
It's been five long years
Cause tonight they just seen to disappear
You still look the same
You haven't changed at all
She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon
Comin' around again
He said I still remember
Her sweet perfume
When it filled his head
And it rocked the room
The walked the wire of passion
So alive
It's hard to hold on
In these times
Did one of us change
Was it yours or mine
You just can't imagine
How lonely I've been
She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon
Comin' around again
We chase our hearts like open fires
Give ourselves to old desires
Surrender sweet
And here we go again
She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon
Comin' around again
And outta her dreams
There he was just the way she's seen him
Lookin' at her a thousand times before
Said I can't believe
It's been five long years
Cause tonight they just seen to disappear
You still look the same
You haven't changed at all
She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon
Comin' around again
He said I still remember
Her sweet perfume
When it filled his head
And it rocked the room
The walked the wire of passion
So alive
It's hard to hold on
In these times
Did one of us change
Was it yours or mine
You just can't imagine
How lonely I've been
She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon
Comin' around again
We chase our hearts like open fires
Give ourselves to old desires
Surrender sweet
And here we go again
She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon
Comin' around again
It Could Be That Easy lyrics - Collin Raye
You were packed and ready to go
To your sister's
Back in Ohio
I knew you'd made up your mind
I couldn't stop you
And you didn't want me to try
The door was open
I watched you go
And I knew it was over
But I didn't know
It could be that easy
To walk away
It could be that easy
To make a change
If the heart is willin'
To start all over again
It was hard to believe
But you showed me
It could be that easy
Three weeks of bein' alone
Has left me seeing
What I should've seen all along
Your love means so much more
Than I ever told you
Than I ever showed you before
Now the car is running
And there's a sign out on the lawn
I'm packed and ready
To give up everything I own
It could be that easy
To walk away
It could be that easy
To make a change
If the heart is willing
To start all over again
It was hard to believe
But you showed me
It could be that easy
It could be that easy
To make a change
Build a new tomorrow
From yesterday
If the heart is willin'
To start all over again
Ohhh
Then so can we
Oh you gotta believe
It could be that easy
Baby, it could be that easy
Ain't Nobody Gonna Take That From Me lyrics - Collin Raye
I remember when baseball was everything
It was Little League, but what a big game
There were two men on and one man out
I got a fastball hangin' outside
I swung that bat with all my might
And the ball was gone
They say I knocked the cover off
It was the only homer that I ever had
You shoulda seen my dad
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
As long as I'm holdin' on
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me
The devil on a good day ain't that strong
I'm keepin' it here inside me
As long as I live and breathe
The ball was soarin' and the crowd was roarin'
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
I was nineteen, it was a good job
Movin' TVs on a loading dock
'Til the boss said, "Son
Try to lose every seventh one
I got it worked out with a good friend
Keep your mouth shut, and we'll cut you in
Now what do you say
Don't you want to be rich one day"
I lost a real good job that night
But I kept my pride
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
As long as I'm holdin' on
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me
The devil on a good day ain't that strong
I'm keepin' it here inside me
As long as I live and breathe
I said goodbye with my head held high
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
And sometimes it feels like
My best years are behind me
Then somehow, out of nowhere
Something sneaks up to remind me
Like this mornin', I woke up
To a little voice that spoke up
Sayin', "Daddy, please
Fix a bowl of Rice Krispies
You're the bestest friend that I ever had
You know I love you Dad"
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
As long as I'm holdin' on
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me
The devil on a good day ain't that strong
I'm keepin' it here inside me
As long as I live and breathe
I got more than I ever asked for
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
It was Little League, but what a big game
There were two men on and one man out
I got a fastball hangin' outside
I swung that bat with all my might
And the ball was gone
They say I knocked the cover off
It was the only homer that I ever had
You shoulda seen my dad
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
As long as I'm holdin' on
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me
The devil on a good day ain't that strong
I'm keepin' it here inside me
As long as I live and breathe
The ball was soarin' and the crowd was roarin'
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
I was nineteen, it was a good job
Movin' TVs on a loading dock
'Til the boss said, "Son
Try to lose every seventh one
I got it worked out with a good friend
Keep your mouth shut, and we'll cut you in
Now what do you say
Don't you want to be rich one day"
I lost a real good job that night
But I kept my pride
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
As long as I'm holdin' on
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me
The devil on a good day ain't that strong
I'm keepin' it here inside me
As long as I live and breathe
I said goodbye with my head held high
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
And sometimes it feels like
My best years are behind me
Then somehow, out of nowhere
Something sneaks up to remind me

What I Need lyrics - Collin Raye
I knew all the answers
The way my life should go
And when I used to say my prayers
I would tell God so
It seemed He wasn't listening
I thought He didn't care
But lookin' back
It's plain to see
He was always there
'Cause I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need
I'm not sayin' that it's easy
Or that it doesn't hurt
When nothing seems to go my way
Nothing seems to work
These days I'm getting better
At goin' with the flow
Accepting that sometimes the answer
To a prayer is no
'Cause I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need
Every time I've had a door slammed in my face
In time a better one was opened in its place
I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need
Oh I don't always get what I want
I get what I need
The way my life should go
And when I used to say my prayers
I would tell God so
It seemed He wasn't listening
I thought He didn't care
But lookin' back
It's plain to see
He was always there
'Cause I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need
I'm not sayin' that it's easy
Or that it doesn't hurt
When nothing seems to go my way
Nothing seems to work
These days I'm getting better
At goin' with the flow
Accepting that sometimes the answer
To a prayer is no
'Cause I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need
Every time I've had a door slammed in my face
In time a better one was opened in its place
I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need
Oh I don't always get what I want
I get what I need
Dancing With No Music Playing lyrics - Collin Raye
Me in my rented tuxedo, you in your big sister’s dress
I could hear my own heart beating, when you laid your head on my chest.
No telling how long it was since the last song
With the band gone and the lights all faded.
All alone on that gym floor, dancing with no music playing.
Me in my rented tuxedo, you in your mama’s white dress
Rice in your hair, your shoes in one hand, and one hand caressing my neck.
The light from the moon filled that old hotel room
As my hands closed around your waist.
And we were holding each other, dancing with no music playing
Ohhhh, there’s nothing to say
Youuu take me away
Dancing with no music playing
Oh, dancing with no music playing
[instrumental]
Me in my old faded Levi’s, you in your blue cotton dress
Time it don’t have no effect on the way that you still steal my breath.
As we spin once more across the cold kitchen floor,
Your warm cheek touches my face,
And I could die in your arms, dancing with no music playing
Oh, I could die in your arms, dancing with no music playing
Mmm
Dancing with no music playing
I could hear my own heart beating, when you laid your head on my chest.
No telling how long it was since the last song
With the band gone and the lights all faded.
All alone on that gym floor, dancing with no music playing.
Me in my rented tuxedo, you in your mama’s white dress
Rice in your hair, your shoes in one hand, and one hand caressing my neck.
The light from the moon filled that old hotel room
As my hands closed around your waist.
And we were holding each other, dancing with no music playing
Ohhhh, there’s nothing to say
Youuu take me away
Dancing with no music playing
Oh, dancing with no music playing
[instrumental]
Me in my old faded Levi’s, you in your blue cotton dress
Time it don’t have no effect on the way that you still steal my breath.
As we spin once more across the cold kitchen floor,
Your warm cheek touches my face,
And I could die in your arms, dancing with no music playing
Oh, I could die in your arms, dancing with no music playing
Mmm
Dancing with no music playing
You Always Get To Me lyrics - Collin Raye
We're talkin' on the phone
A million miles away
You crawl inside the line
You snake into my mind
You always get to me
You're like a glass of sweet red wine
I spill on my white shirt
Color of pleasure and pain
Your picture's in the stain
You always get to me
(You always get to me)
I'm under your thumb
Girl you're under my skin
(You always get to me)
Right before the beginning of the end
When I'm hangin' by a thread (Ahh ah)
There's a circus in my head (Ahh ah)
I'm in a lonely state of mind
You always get to me
Your love rescues me
You always get to me
Just in time
Love ain't some masquerade
To wear a plastic face
You strip off my disguise
You see the good inside
You always get to me, yeah
(You always get to me)
I'm under your thumb
Girl you're under my skin
(You always get to me)
Right before the beginning of the end

Your love rescues me
You always get to me
Just in time

I'm in a lonely state of mind
You always get to me
Your love rescues me
You always get to me
Just in time
Oh
(You always get to me)
You're my net when I'm fallin'
The answer when I'm callin'
(You always get to me)
You're the stars in my darkness
My faith when I'm heartless
(You always get to me)
You break down the walls and set me free
(You always get to me)
You always get to me
Girl, you always get to me
(You always get to me)
You always get to me
Yeah
(You always get to me)
Oh whoa whoa whoa
A million miles away

End Of The World lyrics - Collin Raye
I was lost
On the outside
I almost gave up
I almost put love aside
Then I saw you
A little spark, then a flame
I felt the blood rush a million miles an hour
Through my veins
I'm not ready for this
One last breath and a kiss
'Cause my heart knows you're the one
And baby living without you
Would mean living is done
I'd say
Turn off the sun
Take down the moon
Eliminate the words "I love you"
There would be no point
No reason to live
Without you girl
Losing you would mean
The end of the world
So stop the war
Bring back the light
Life without you
Would be like autumn leaves
In black and white
Didn't we have it all
More depth than the sea
It's cruel to take a fragile heart
And promise love that life can't keep
I'm not ready to fall
Just let go of it all
'Cause I don't wanna love just to lose
I heard it's sad
But the life you live is the life that you choose
But without you
Turn off the sun
Take down the moon
Eliminate the words "I love you"
There would be no point
No reason to live
Without you girl
Losing you would mean
The end of the world
Everywhere I see your face
(I see your face)
I see your grace
And then it's gone
I can't walk on
I can't walk on
Turn off the sun
Oh, there would be no point
No reason to live
'Cause without you girl
Losing you would mean
The end of the world
On the outside
I almost gave up
I almost put love aside
Then I saw you
A little spark, then a flame
I felt the blood rush a million miles an hour
Through my veins
I'm not ready for this
One last breath and a kiss
'Cause my heart knows you're the one
And baby living without you
Would mean living is done
I'd say
Turn off the sun
Take down the moon
Eliminate the words "I love you"
There would be no point
No reason to live
Without you girl
Losing you would mean
The end of the world
So stop the war
Bring back the light
Life without you
Would be like autumn leaves
In black and white
Didn't we have it all
More depth than the sea
It's cruel to take a fragile heart
And promise love that life can't keep
I'm not ready to fall
Just let go of it all
'Cause I don't wanna love just to lose
I heard it's sad
But the life you live is the life that you choose
But without you
Turn off the sun
Take down the moon
Eliminate the words "I love you"
There would be no point
No reason to live
Without you girl
Losing you would mean
The end of the world
Everywhere I see your face
(I see your face)
I see your grace
And then it's gone
I can't walk on
I can't walk on
Turn off the sun
Oh, there would be no point
No reason to live
'Cause without you girl
Losing you would mean
The end of the world
One Desire lyrics - Collin Raye
in the night
Like a raging fire, you’re my one desire,
One desire--
One desire, one desire-- oh!
Like a raging fire, all I ever need, oh
Like a raging fire, you’re my one desire,
One desire--
One desire, one desire-- oh!
Like a raging fire, all I ever need, oh
Young As We're Ever Gonna Be lyrics - Collin Raye
Everyone tells them that they’re too young to know
‘Bout the ways of the world and curves that fate can throw
They’d never ask for much with their backs against the wall
He turns to her, says, baby tonight let’s take it all
‘Cause tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
These may be the best days of our lives
Who knows as we grow older if we’ll ever feel this free
Tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
A man and a woman who’ve been left behind
Knowing age is the enemy of hearts and minds
The freedom of faith has made them reckless and sincere
He says, darlin’ we’ve got one last chance at some magic here
‘Cause tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
These may be the best days of our lives
Who knows as we grow older if we’ll ever feel this free
Tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
Everywhere you look there’s caution outside lookin’ in
Searchin’ for that perfect circumstance
But time never has stood still and it ain’t about to start
The sidelines are covered with wreckage of wasted hearts
‘Cause tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
These may be the best days of our lives
Who knows as we grow older if we’ll ever feel this free
Tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
Oh
‘Cause tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
These may be the best days of our lives
Who knows as we grow older if we’ll ever feel this free
Tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
Oh, tonight
‘Bout the ways of the world and curves that fate can throw
They’d never ask for much with their backs against the wall
He turns to her, says, baby tonight let’s take it all
‘Cause tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
These may be the best days of our lives
Who knows as we grow older if we’ll ever feel this free
Tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
A man and a woman who’ve been left behind
Knowing age is the enemy of hearts and minds
The freedom of faith has made them reckless and sincere
He says, darlin’ we’ve got one last chance at some magic here
‘Cause tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
These may be the best days of our lives
Who knows as we grow older if we’ll ever feel this free
Tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
Everywhere you look there’s caution outside lookin’ in
Searchin’ for that perfect circumstance
But time never has stood still and it ain’t about to start
The sidelines are covered with wreckage of wasted hearts
‘Cause tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
These may be the best days of our lives
Who knows as we grow older if we’ll ever feel this free
Tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
Oh
‘Cause tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
These may be the best days of our lives
Who knows as we grow older if we’ll ever feel this free
Tonight we are as young as we’re ever gonna be
Oh, tonight
Dear Life lyrics - Collin Raye
I watched you begin, my child, See you fading in your father’s face.
For the first time I’m in the mirror, looking both ways
At where I’ve been and where I’m headed
It makes me want to live each day like I may not get it.
Dear Life, from my very first breath,
You were one step ahead
Of where I thought I was going
Dear Life,when I loved and I lost
Somehow at all cost
You kept me holdin’ on, for
Dear Life, through the healing and scars
Through all you’ve showed me so far
I see how precious you are, Dear Life.
I was bound to give away my heart and have it handed back to me
Until you led me to the one that was always meant to be
I’d’ve never known joy if I never knew sorrow
When I didn’t know how to face tomorrow
Dear Life, from my very first breath,
You were one step ahead
Of where I thought I was going
Dear Life,when I loved and I lost
Somehow at all cost
You kept me holdin’ on, for
Dear Life, through the healing and scars
Through all you’ve showed me so far
I see how precious you are, Dear Life.
For once I’m gonna rest in the arms of the unknown
And wait to watch you unfold
Dear Life, from my very first breath,
You were one step ahead
Of where I thought I was going
Dear Life,when I loved and I lost
Somehow at all cost
You kept me holdin’ on, for
Dear Life, through the healing and scars
Through all you’ve showed me so far
I see how precious you are, Dear Life.
For the first time I’m in the mirror, looking both ways
At where I’ve been and where I’m headed
It makes me want to live each day like I may not get it.
Dear Life, from my very first breath,
You were one step ahead
Of where I thought I was going
Dear Life,when I loved and I lost
Somehow at all cost
You kept me holdin’ on, for
Dear Life, through the healing and scars
Through all you’ve showed me so far
I see how precious you are, Dear Life.
I was bound to give away my heart and have it handed back to me
Until you led me to the one that was always meant to be
I’d’ve never known joy if I never knew sorrow
When I didn’t know how to face tomorrow
Dear Life, from my very first breath,
You were one step ahead
Of where I thought I was going
Dear Life,when I loved and I lost
Somehow at all cost
You kept me holdin’ on, for
Dear Life, through the healing and scars
Through all you’ve showed me so far
I see how precious you are, Dear Life.
For once I’m gonna rest in the arms of the unknown
And wait to watch you unfold
Dear Life, from my very first breath,
You were one step ahead
Of where I thought I was going
Dear Life,when I loved and I lost
Somehow at all cost
You kept me holdin’ on, for
Dear Life, through the healing and scars
Through all you’ve showed me so far
I see how precious you are, Dear Life.
What I Did For Love lyrics - Collin Raye
Everybody's heart is torn and tattered
Mine was not designed for giving up
'Cause all I've ever done that really matters
Is what I did for love
So count me with the wounded and the shaken
Even when I'm barely standing up
I've tried to offer more than I have taken
That's what I did for love
What I did for love
I gave everything
And I hope that you can see
All that love has given me
When they sit and list the reasons I existed
I'm afraid it won't add up to very much
'Cause I gathered all I had and gladly risked it
That's what I did for love
Yeah
What I did for love
I gave everything
And I hope that you can see
All that love has given me
Someday I may silently surrender
When this old heart has finally had enough
But I hope that I will always be remembered
By what I did for love
See all I've ever done that really matters
Is what I did for love
Mine was not designed for giving up
'Cause all I've ever done that really matters
Is what I did for love
So count me with the wounded and the shaken
Even when I'm barely standing up
I've tried to offer more than I have taken
That's what I did for love
What I did for love
I gave everything
And I hope that you can see
All that love has given me
When they sit and list the reasons I existed
I'm afraid it won't add up to very much
'Cause I gathered all I had and gladly risked it
That's what I did for love
Yeah
What I did for love
I gave everything
And I hope that you can see
All that love has given me
Someday I may silently surrender
When this old heart has finally had enough
But I hope that I will always be remembered
By what I did for love
See all I've ever done that really matters
Is what I did for love
I Can Let Go Now lyrics - Collin Raye
It was so right
It was so wrong
Almost at the same time
The pain and ache
A heart can take
No one really knows
When the memories cling
And keep you there
'Til you no longer care
And you can let go now
It's wrong for me
To cling to you
Somehow I just needed time
From what was to be
It's not like me
To hold somebody down
But I was tossed high by love
Almost never came down
Only to land here
But love's no longer found
Where I'm no longer bound
And I can let go now
I can let go now
It was so wrong
Almost at the same time
The pain and ache
A heart can take
No one really knows
When the memories cling
And keep you there
'Til you no longer care
And you can let go now
It's wrong for me
To cling to you
Somehow I just needed time
From what was to be
It's not like me
To hold somebody down
But I was tossed high by love
Almost never came down
Only to land here
But love's no longer found
Where I'm no longer bound
And I can let go now
I can let go now
She's All That lyrics - Collin Raye
She was singin' "Love Me Tender" at the local karaoke
I knew right then and there I had found my one and only
She takes my breath away everytime I see her
Just couldn't wait for all my boys to meet her
She's got season tickets and sweet pouty lips
She's all that, well equipped
She's all that, she loves to ride in my pickup truck
She's all that, Mom and Daddy can't believe my luck
She's all that, she looks so good we never wait in line
She's all that, she's all mine
She can throw a split finger and she's got her own glove
When she sinks a twenty footer, man I know I'm in love
Saturday night she's like a time bomb tickin'
She looks better on Sunday than Mama's fried chicken
She only gets mad when she missed SportsCenter
She's all that, even tempered
She's all that, she swings a nine handicap
She's all that, she looks sexy in a baseball cap
She's all that, she makes me want to lay it all on the line
She's all that, she's all mine
Whoa she's a perfect combination
Whoa got my defense off the field
Whoa every day's an education
Got my head a spinnin' like a spoke inside a wheel
She's all that, I'm in touch with her feminine side
She's all that, let me tell you man, it's one sweet ride
She's all that, a humdinger,boy, straight off the blocks
She's all that, no doubt about it, the girl rocks
The girl's all that
The girl's all that
The girl's all that
Going home to baby sure is fine
She's all that, she's all mine
She's all that, she's all mine
She's all that
I knew right then and there I had found my one and only
She takes my breath away everytime I see her
Just couldn't wait for all my boys to meet her
She's got season tickets and sweet pouty lips
She's all that, well equipped
She's all that, she loves to ride in my pickup truck
She's all that, Mom and Daddy can't believe my luck
She's all that, she looks so good we never wait in line
She's all that, she's all mine
She can throw a split finger and she's got her own glove
When she sinks a twenty footer, man I know I'm in love
Saturday night she's like a time bomb tickin'
She looks better on Sunday than Mama's fried chicken
She only gets mad when she missed SportsCenter
She's all that, even tempered
She's all that, she swings a nine handicap
She's all that, she looks sexy in a baseball cap
She's all that, she makes me want to lay it all on the line
She's all that, she's all mine
Whoa she's a perfect combination
Whoa got my defense off the field
Whoa every day's an education
Got my head a spinnin' like a spoke inside a wheel
She's all that, I'm in touch with her feminine side
She's all that, let me tell you man, it's one sweet ride
She's all that, a humdinger,boy, straight off the blocks
She's all that, no doubt about it, the girl rocks
The girl's all that
The girl's all that
The girl's all that
Going home to baby sure is fine
She's all that, she's all mine
She's all that, she's all mine
She's all that
I Want To Be There lyrics - Collin Raye
I love you and your tangled dress
And going where the music says
I pray this love song never ends
'Cause when we spin like this
I know where heaven is
Right here in the moment that we're in
Love happens when we get this close
Whatever happens, don't let go
I want to be there
When you dance
When you laugh
When you cry
For the rest of our lives
I want to be there
In your arms
In your world
In your heart
Wherever you are
I want to be there
Every night's like a New Year's Eve
Every day that you're here with me
Every touch is a cause for celebration
I want to be your birthday kiss
I want to be your every wish
I want to be your strongest temptation
Through all the years that go by
You'll find me right here by your side
I want to be there
When you dance
When you laugh
When you cry
For the rest of our lives
I want to be there
In your arms
In your world
In your heart
Wherever you are
I want to be there
I want to be there
When you dance
When you laugh
When you cry
For the rest of our lives
I want to be there
In your arms
In your world
In your heart
Wherever you are
I want to be there
When you laugh and when you cry
For the rest of our lives
I want to be there
I want to be there
In the good times
And in the bad times too, baby
I want to be there
I want to be there
'Till the end of time with you now
When you laugh and when you cry baby
For the rest of our lives
And going where the music says
I pray this love song never ends
'Cause when we spin like this
I know where heaven is
Right here in the moment that we're in
Love happens when we get this close
Whatever happens, don't let go
I want to be there
When you dance
When you laugh
When you cry
For the rest of our lives
I want to be there
In your arms
In your world
In your heart
Wherever you are
I want to be there
Every night's like a New Year's Eve
Every day that you're here with me
Every touch is a cause for celebration
I want to be your birthday kiss
I want to be your every wish
I want to be your strongest temptation
Through all the years that go by
You'll find me right here by your side
I want to be there
When you dance
When you laugh
When you cry
For the rest of our lives
I want to be there
In your arms
In your world
In your heart
Wherever you are
I want to be there
I want to be there
When you dance
When you laugh
When you cry
For the rest of our lives
I want to be there
In your arms
In your world
In your heart
Wherever you are
I want to be there
When you laugh and when you cry
For the rest of our lives
I want to be there
I want to be there
In the good times
And in the bad times too, baby
I want to be there
I want to be there
'Till the end of time with you now
When you laugh and when you cry baby
For the rest of our lives
Completely lyrics - Collin Raye
Before you I was totally lost
And so hopelessly sure I'd end up by myself
I was so unaware there was someone out there
For me who'd love me like nobody else
Then you gave me something that I always wanted
Now I'm giving it all back to you
Darlin' completely
With all of my soul
I was so empty 'till you made me whole
Girl, you complete me
More every day
I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
I did time as a single man year after year
And right when I almost gave up
Way up high on a ledge leaning over the edge
I was mercifully saved by your love
It might take a lifetime
But I know that I'll find the right words to tell you
I'm yours
Darlin' completely
With all of my soul
I was so empty 'till you made me whole
Girl, you complete me
More every day
I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
Oh girl, completely
And so hopelessly sure I'd end up by myself
I was so unaware there was someone out there
For me who'd love me like nobody else
Then you gave me something that I always wanted
Now I'm giving it all back to you
Darlin' completely
With all of my soul
I was so empty 'till you made me whole
Girl, you complete me
More every day
I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
I did time as a single man year after year
And right when I almost gave up
Way up high on a ledge leaning over the edge
I was mercifully saved by your love
It might take a lifetime
But I know that I'll find the right words to tell you
I'm yours
Darlin' completely
With all of my soul
I was so empty 'till you made me whole
Girl, you complete me
More every day
I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
Oh girl, completely
Couldn't Last A Moment lyrics - Collin Raye
I thought it was over
I thought I could move on
But I was wrong
I woke up last night
Calling your name
Feeling the blame baby
Thought I could quit you but
I still miss your love
What was I thinking
Thinking that I could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone I lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can I make you see
What matters most to me
Girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
You've got every right
To turn and walk away
I can't make you stay
I broke your heart
I wasted so much precious time baby
I see you with your friends
Wearing a smile again
What was I thinking
Thinking that I could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone I lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can I make you see
What matters most to me
Girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
Thought I could quit you
But I still miss your love
What was I thinking
Thinking that I could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone I lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can I make you see
What matters most to me
Girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
Oh girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment
Without you
I thought I could move on
But I was wrong
I woke up last night
Calling your name
Feeling the blame baby
Thought I could quit you but
I still miss your love
What was I thinking
Thinking that I could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone I lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can I make you see
What matters most to me
Girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
You've got every right
To turn and walk away
I can't make you stay
I broke your heart
I wasted so much precious time baby
I see you with your friends
Wearing a smile again
What was I thinking
Thinking that I could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone I lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can I make you see
What matters most to me
Girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
Thought I could quit you
But I still miss your love
What was I thinking
Thinking that I could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone I lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can I make you see
What matters most to me
Girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
Oh girl I shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment
Without you
You Will Always Be Mine lyrics - Collin Raye
I love the way you move
Like moon light on the sea
The way your body calls me
Like a secret melody
The way you start a fire
When you look into my eyes
The way you always love me
Until I'm satisfied
There are moments
When I love you
Beyond the limits of my human heart
I want to hold you
And take care of you
The way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
I don't know how you know
Exactly what I need
I don't how you found
The man I wanna be
I don't how your sweet tears
Make me see clear again
I don't how you know
I don't know how you go everywhere I've been
There are moments
When I love you
Beyond the limits of my human heart
I want to hold you
And take care of you
The way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
The way you start a fire
When you look into my eyes
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
Like moon light on the sea
The way your body calls me
Like a secret melody
The way you start a fire
When you look into my eyes
The way you always love me
Until I'm satisfied
There are moments
When I love you
Beyond the limits of my human heart
I want to hold you
And take care of you
The way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
I don't know how you know
Exactly what I need
I don't how you found
The man I wanna be
I don't how your sweet tears
Make me see clear again
I don't how you know
I don't know how you go everywhere I've been
There are moments
When I love you
Beyond the limits of my human heart
I want to hold you
And take care of you
The way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
The way you start a fire
When you look into my eyes
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
A Long Way To Go lyrics - Collin Raye
When you told me
That we were through
I thought it would be easy
Getting over you
Now I know that it's gonna take some time
'Cause when I come home now
What do I see
So many memories staring at me
I know you left
But you left so much behind
It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
I can't take this anymore
I'm half of what I was before
Ever since I lost my better half
When I close my eyes
You're all I see
You're even walking in my sleep
I wanna cry but then I gotta laugh
It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
It still ain't clear that you ain't here
To hear me babble on
'Cause you've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
If you come back we can start anew
'Cause I'm so miserable without you
It's kind of like you never left at all
It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
That we were through
I thought it would be easy
Getting over you
Now I know that it's gonna take some time
'Cause when I come home now
What do I see
So many memories staring at me
I know you left
But you left so much behind
It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
I can't take this anymore
I'm half of what I was before
Ever since I lost my better half
When I close my eyes
You're all I see
You're even walking in my sleep
I wanna cry but then I gotta laugh
It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
It still ain't clear that you ain't here
To hear me babble on
'Cause you've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
If you come back we can start anew
'Cause I'm so miserable without you
It's kind of like you never left at all
It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone
Harder Cards lyrics - Collin Raye
Well the hammer fell down on a forty-four primer
Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight
Wrong or right
She just looked at me as she finished her tale
And her blank expression went another shade pale of grey
There was nothin' to say
In the shadows of her face, I saw the scars
That you get when you live where love is hard
And she said
Don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug off
Until you've walked a mile in my bare feet
'Cause there are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play
Well I put the cuffs on her
And I put her in the car
And I walked in and he was on the floor
Stone dead
Shot in the head
There were whiskey bottles and dope by his chair
And a starving baby with nothin' to wear
But tears
You know, the picture was clear
He had finally pushed her farther than the line
And the badge i wore had lost all of it's shine
Don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug off
Until you've walked a mile in my bare feet
'Cause there are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play
Well I stood there thinkin' how justice was blind
But I didn't see any and I could see just fine
And I made up my mind
So I took the cuffs off her
And I took her back in
I wiped off the gun
And wrapped it in his right hand
Where it should've been
And the morning paper told in black and white
Just another senseless case of suicide
Oh, just a suicide
Oh but don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug off
Until you've walked a mile on my beat
'Cause there are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play
Yeah the hammer fell down on a forty-four primer
Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight
Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight
Wrong or right
She just looked at me as she finished her tale
And her blank expression went another shade pale of grey
There was nothin' to say
In the shadows of her face, I saw the scars
That you get when you live where love is hard
And she said
Don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug off
Until you've walked a mile in my bare feet
'Cause there are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play
Well I put the cuffs on her
And I put her in the car
And I walked in and he was on the floor

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

Blackbird lyrics - Collin Raye
Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of a dark, black night
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of a dark, black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of a dark, black night
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of a dark, black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
A Mother And Father's Prayer lyrics - Collin Raye
I know you’re listening as I lay me down to sleep
It’s not for me I ask, but my children’s souls to keep
It seems the world is going crazy
And though I need to do my share
Could you please take them under wing
Watch over them especially
Keeping them safe from everything
This is a mother’s prayer
I know you’re listening in the silence of the night
The news is blistering but I hold on to your light
And though there’s darkness all around us
By my faith I know you’re there
Give me the strength to lead the way
Send me the words I need to say
Use me to guide them day to day
This is a mother’s prayer
This is a father’s prayer
I know I can’t do this by my self
I thank you for your help
I know you’re listening so I know I’m not alone
I feel you here with me as we all face down the unknown
Could you return us to your garden
Where no one’s hurt and no one’s scared
Free us from pride and bitterness
Keep us so close we won’t forget
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother’s prayer
This is a father’s prayer
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother’s, a father’s prayer
It’s not for me I ask, but my children’s souls to keep
It seems the world is going crazy
And though I need to do my share
Could you please take them under wing
Watch over them especially
Keeping them safe from everything
This is a mother’s prayer
I know you’re listening in the silence of the night
The news is blistering but I hold on to your light
And though there’s darkness all around us
By my faith I know you’re there
Give me the strength to lead the way
Send me the words I need to say
Use me to guide them day to day
This is a mother’s prayer
This is a father’s prayer
I know I can’t do this by my self
I thank you for your help
I know you’re listening so I know I’m not alone
I feel you here with me as we all face down the unknown
Could you return us to your garden
Where no one’s hurt and no one’s scared
Free us from pride and bitterness
Keep us so close we won’t forget
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother’s prayer
This is a father’s prayer
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother’s, a father’s prayer
When You Wish Upon A Star lyrics - Collin Raye
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Cool Cat lyrics - Collin Raye
The cool cat knows when it’s time to relax
And get some rest
And that cool cat likes to unwind inhis room
‘Cause it’s the best
All the bestest boys and groovy girls
Are sure of one thing they have found
That cool cat knows how to settle
Whoa, the cool cat knows how to run fast and play hard
With all his friends
And that cool cat combs every inch of his yard
‘Till it’s time to go in and take a bath
Put his jammies on
And brush those teeth just right
‘Cause a cool cat knows how to say goodnight
Ain’t nothin’ like a bedtime story
When Mom or even Dad will do
And when you wake in the morning
You feel good...so good
‘Cause a good night’s rest is what makes you
A cool cat
All the bestest boys and groovy girls
Are sure of one thing they have found
That cool cat knows how to settle
A cool cat knows where it’s at
A cool cat knows how to settle down
And get some rest
And that cool cat likes to unwind inhis room
‘Cause it’s the best
All the bestest boys and groovy girls
Are sure of one thing they have found
That cool cat knows how to settle
Whoa, the cool cat knows how to run fast and play hard
With all his friends
And that cool cat combs every inch of his yard
‘Till it’s time to go in and take a bath
Put his jammies on
And brush those teeth just right
‘Cause a cool cat knows how to say goodnight
Ain’t nothin’ like a bedtime story
When Mom or even Dad will do
And when you wake in the morning
You feel good...so good
‘Cause a good night’s rest is what makes you
A cool cat
All the bestest boys and groovy girls
Are sure of one thing they have found
That cool cat knows how to settle
A cool cat knows where it’s at
A cool cat knows how to settle down
Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral (An Irish Lullaby) lyrics - Collin Raye
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Too La Loo Ra Li
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Hush now don’t you cry
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Too La Loo Ra Li
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
That’s an Irish lullaby
Over in Killarney
Many years ago
My mother sang a song to me
In tones soft and low
Just a simple, little ditty
In her old Irish way
And I’d give the world if I could hear
That song of hers today
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Too La Loo Ra Li
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Hush now don’t you cry
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Too La Loo Ra Li
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
That’s an Irish lullaby
Too La Loo Ra Li
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Hush now don’t you cry
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Too La Loo Ra Li
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
That’s an Irish lullaby
Over in Killarney
Many years ago
My mother sang a song to me
In tones soft and low
Just a simple, little ditty
In her old Irish way
And I’d give the world if I could hear
That song of hers today
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Too La Loo Ra Li
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Hush now don’t you cry
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
Too La Loo Ra Li
Too La Loo Ra Loo Ral
That’s an Irish lullaby
Hearts Are For When You Want To Love Someone lyrics - Collin Raye
Trees are for climbing
And holes are for digging
And friends are for when your having fun
And hearts are for when you want to love someone
Dogs are for hugging
And cats are for putting up with
Birds are just looking at
And heads are for when you have to wear a hat
Dads are for being with
And doing things
And helping out Mom
And Moms are for talking to
And telling things that you can’t tell anyone
Ears are for hearing your father call
And eyes are for seeing when it’s dark
Legs are for when you have to run
And hearts are for when you want to love someone
Brothers always take your things
And break your things
And eat your candy
And sisters always tell on you
And they cry a lot
When they got no reason to
Feet are for putting your shoes on
And hair is for looking nice at school
And hands are for folding when your book is done
And hearts are for when you want to love someone
And holes are for digging
And friends are for when your having fun
And hearts are for when you want to love someone
Dogs are for hugging
And cats are for putting up with
Birds are just looking at
And heads are for when you have to wear a hat
Dads are for being with
And doing things
And helping out Mom
And Moms are for talking to
And telling things that you can’t tell anyone
Ears are for hearing your father call
And eyes are for seeing when it’s dark
Legs are for when you have to run
And hearts are for when you want to love someone
Brothers always take your things
And break your things
And eat your candy
And sisters always tell on you
And they cry a lot
When they got no reason to
Feet are for putting your shoes on
And hair is for looking nice at school
And hands are for folding when your book is done
And hearts are for when you want to love someone
The Dream Song lyrics - Collin Raye
Lay your head on your pillow now
Close your eyes
I’ll tuck you in and I’ll kiss you goodnight
While you and your teddy bear are countin’ sheep
Next thing you know, you’ll be fast asleep
Sleep now my angle your long day is done
The very best part of the night has begun
Cause we get a present when we go to sleep
We get to dream
If you have a dream your dream can come true
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
life’s an adventure there’s so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
You can go walkin’ on peppermint clouds
And see yourself being’ a real circus clown
Sail on a river of strawberry cream
Be a star or an astronaut, follow your dream
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
life’s an adventure there’s so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
If you have a dream your dream can come true
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
life’s an adventure there’s so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
Dream on...dream my love
A dream is a whisper from above
If you have a dream your dream can come true
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
life’s an adventure there’s so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
Close your eyes
I’ll tuck you in and I’ll kiss you goodnight
While you and your teddy bear are countin’ sheep
Next thing you know, you’ll be fast asleep
Sleep now my angle your long day is done
The very best part of the night has begun
Cause we get a present when we go to sleep
We get to dream
If you have a dream your dream can come true
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
life’s an adventure there’s so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
You can go walkin’ on peppermint clouds
And see yourself being’ a real circus clown
Sail on a river of strawberry cream
Be a star or an astronaut, follow your dream
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
life’s an adventure there’s so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
If you have a dream your dream can come true
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
life’s an adventure there’s so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
Dream on...dream my love
A dream is a whisper from above
If you have a dream your dream can come true
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
life’s an adventure there’s so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
When You Say Your Prayers lyrics - Collin Raye
If you’ve ever wondered
When you pray at night
If it makes a difference
If it sets things right
Everytime we say our prayers
Whispered in the dark
Somewhere deep inside you
You know with all your heart
As sure as God’s in Heaven
There’s someone who cares
And somebody’s listening
When you say your prayers
A prayer can be a thank-you
A prayer can be a wish
A prayer can say I’m sorry
Like a hug or a kiss
It doesn’t have to be just right
God hears you loud and clear
As long as it comes from your heart
It goes right to his ear
As sure as God’s in Heaven
There’s someone who cares
And somebody’s listening
When you say your prayers
As sure as God’s in Heaven
There’s someone who cares
And somebody’s listening
When you say your prayers
Just know somebody’s listening
When you say your prayers
When you pray at night
If it makes a difference
If it sets things right
Everytime we say our prayers
Whispered in the dark
Somewhere deep inside you
You know with all your heart
As sure as God’s in Heaven
There’s someone who cares
And somebody’s listening
When you say your prayers
A prayer can be a thank-you
A prayer can be a wish
A prayer can say I’m sorry
Like a hug or a kiss
It doesn’t have to be just right
God hears you loud and clear
As long as it comes from your heart
It goes right to his ear
As sure as God’s in Heaven
There’s someone who cares
And somebody’s listening
When you say your prayers
As sure as God’s in Heaven
There’s someone who cares
And somebody’s listening
When you say your prayers
Just know somebody’s listening
When you say your prayers
Stay Awake lyrics - Collin Raye
Stay Awake
Don’t rest your head
Don’t lie down
Upon Your bed
While the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don’t close your eyes
Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow’s soft and deep
You’re not as sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don’t nod and dream
Stay awake, don’t nod and dream
Don’t rest your head
Don’t lie down
Upon Your bed
While the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don’t close your eyes
Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow’s soft and deep
You’re not as sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don’t nod and dream
Stay awake, don’t nod and dream
Anyone Else lyrics - Collin Raye
Baby I bought wine and roses on my way home
Yeah I know we can't afford it but life doesn't last too long
This world has gone half-crazy
And knocked us both to our knees
I'm fumbling for the words to try to tell ya
I love you for hangin' onto me
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through
Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on a count of rain
Anyone else, anyone else
Anyone but you
Mayday baby, all the rivets popped loose, it's a total tailspin
Too much grindstone, too little time with you
Girl, you know it's wearing thin
Baby let's trade in these teardrops
For warm kisses on skin
You got a drawer full of IOU's
And it's high time you called those things in
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through
Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on a count of rain
Anyone else, anyone else
Anyone but you
You've passed up so many chances
To walk right out that door
Instead of dodging a champagne cork
And watchin' the wet clothes fall to the floor
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And you can hide behind a Cheshire cat grin but you know it's true
Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on a count of rain
Anyone else, anyone else
Anyone but you
Anyone else
Girl, anyone but you
Yeah I know we can't afford it but life doesn't last too long
This world has gone half-crazy
And knocked us both to our knees
I'm fumbling for the words to try to tell ya
I love you for hangin' onto me
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through
Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on a count of rain
Anyone else, anyone else
Anyone but you
Mayday baby, all the rivets popped loose, it's a total tailspin
Too much grindstone, too little time with you
Girl, you know it's wearing thin
Baby let's trade in these teardrops
For warm kisses on skin
You got a drawer full of IOU's
And it's high time you called those things in
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through
Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on a count of rain
Anyone else, anyone else
Anyone but you
You've passed up so many chances
To walk right out that door
Instead of dodging a champagne cork
And watchin' the wet clothes fall to the floor
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And you can hide behind a Cheshire cat grin but you know it's true
Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on a count of rain
Anyone else, anyone else
Anyone but you
Anyone else
Girl, anyone but you
I Wish I Could lyrics - Collin Raye
Looking out my window
See you playing in the leaves
It's amazing how a little girl
Means all the world to me
When I tell you that I love you
I love you more than words can say
Smile, say cheese pretty-please
I wanna take your picture
How'd you ever get so big
I gotta take your picture
Hold on to the memory before the whole thing slips away
I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't, I know I can't
But I wish I could
When you kiss me for no reason
It goes straight to my heart
When I feel your arms around me
I almost fall apart
It's time for bed you whisper
Daddy, we forgot to pray
I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't, I know I can't
But I wish I could
And when I watch you sleeping
All my worries fade away
A little bit of heaven glows on your angelic face
I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't, I know I can't
I know I can't
But I wish I could
See you playing in the leaves
It's amazing how a little girl
Means all the world to me
When I tell you that I love you
I love you more than words can say
Smile, say cheese pretty-please
I wanna take your picture
How'd you ever get so big
I gotta take your picture
Hold on to the memory before the whole thing slips away
I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't, I know I can't
But I wish I could
When you kiss me for no reason
It goes straight to my heart
When I feel your arms around me
I almost fall apart
It's time for bed you whisper
Daddy, we forgot to pray
I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't, I know I can't
But I wish I could
And when I watch you sleeping
All my worries fade away
A little bit of heaven glows on your angelic face
I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't, I know I can't
I know I can't
But I wish I could
Start Over Georgia lyrics - Collin Raye
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
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,
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.
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
I Volunteer lyrics - Collin Raye
Looks like your feelin' like
The rain won't ever stop
Life's left you standing there
One against the odds
Fro now on you need to know
You don't have to stand alone
When the world turns you in circles
And the wind is at your face
When you need somewhere to run to
I know a place
If you want someone who's willing
To lay down their heart
Someone to dry your tears
I'm here
I volunteer
A shoulder, a caring voice
To tell you it's ok
Arms meant for holding you
Whenever your afraid
I've got that and more to spare
Just say the word and I'll be there
When the world turns you in circles
And the wind is at your face
When you need somewhere to run to
I know a place
If you want someone who's willing
To lay down their heart
Someone to dry your tears
I'm here
I volunteer
The rain won't ever stop
Life's left you standing there
One against the odds
Fro now on you need to know
You don't have to stand alone
When the world turns you in circles
And the wind is at your face
When you need somewhere to run to
I know a place
If you want someone who's willing
To lay down their heart
Someone to dry your tears
I'm here
I volunteer
A shoulder, a caring voice
To tell you it's ok
Arms meant for holding you
Whenever your afraid
I've got that and more to spare
Just say the word and I'll be there
When the world turns you in circles
And the wind is at your face
When you need somewhere to run to
I know a place
If you want someone who's willing
To lay down their heart
Someone to dry your tears
I'm here
I volunteer
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,

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
