Forgotten lyrics - Collin Raye

Most everybody's got

A secret dresser drawer

Or an old shoebox

A back bedroom closet door

And maybe when it rains

Or when nobody else is home

We open it

And find we're really not alone...

If you could see me now

Kneeling on this floor

Watching the memories dance

Holding the flower you wore

You said I would forget

You said that was your greatest fear

But you're still here

Baby, you're still here.

[CHORUS]

And in my heart,

You are not forgotten.

A love this strong

Will hold you close to me

I know you're gone

But Heaven doesn't really seem that far

Even worlds apart

Please know you're not

Forgotten.

Oooohhhhh

Some people take the past

And make it disappear

They pack their heartaches up

Through out the laughter with the tears

But I don't wanna lose

How good we used to be

So you're still here

You're still here with me

[CHORUS]

And in my heart,

You are not forgotten.

A love this strong

Will hold you close to me

I know you're gone

But Heaven doesn't really seem that far

Even worlds apart

Please know you're not

Forgotten.

But now you're gone

But Heaven doesn't really seem that far

Even worlds apart

Please know you're not

Forgotten...

Ooooooooh...

You're Not Drinking Enough lyrics - Collin Raye

I can see that you haven't recovered

From the girl who let you down

But you'd sell what is left of your soul

For another go-round

You keep tellin' yourself she means nothin'

And maybe you should call her bluff

But you don't really believe it

You must not be drinkin' enough

Oh, the perfume she wore

You can buy down at the Five and Dime

But on some other woman

It don't smell the same in your mind

You keep tellin' yourself that you can take it

You keep tellin' yourself that you're tough

But you still wanna hold her

So you must not be drinkin' enough

Oooh

You're not drinkin' enough

To wash away old memories

And there ain't enough whiskey in Texas

To keep you from beggin'

Please, please, please

She passed on your passion

And stepped on your pride

Turns out you ain't quite so tough

'Cause you still wanna hold her

You must not be drinkin' enough

Ay-yi-yi-yi, you ask yourself why

But you still wanna hold her

You must not be drinkin' enough, no

Ay-yi-yi-yi, ay-yi-yi-yi

Whoa, you still wanna hold her

You must no be drinkin' enough

Ay-yi-yi-yi, ay-yi-yi-yi

Oh, I still wanna hold her

I must not be drinkin' enough

Josephine lyrics - Collin Raye

I'm writin' this letter, my darlin, from high on a hill.

We've been marchin' ten days and we're just outside Hawkinsville.

It's been snowin' all night and we ain't got no more kersosene.

It's colder than hell,

Hope you're doin' well,

Josephine.

There's a fever in camp and our boys are too sick to fight.

We done lost ol' Calvin;

Weaver won't make it through the night.

I overheard the Captain say it's the worst he's ever seen.

I'm losin' some weight

but I'm still standin' up straight,

Josephine.

[CHORUS]

Tell the children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more.

Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door.

Tell Mama and Daddy I'm all right

And just one more thing:

I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine.

There's three thousand Union troops camped at the river below.

And six hundred of us -

At least there was two nights ago.

Will Irwin deserted and

They hung him down by the stream.

Good God, I'm so scared,

Keep me in your prayers,

Josephine.

The order came down: we attack tonight at nightfall.

If we can stop 'em right here

We can win this war, once and for all.

You know, I killed a Union boy last week -

Bet he wasn't fourteen.

He looked just like our son,

Forgive me for what I've done,

Josephine.

[CHORUS]

Tell the children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more.

Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door.

Tell Mama and Daddy I'm all right

And just one more thing:

I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine.

And lastly, my darling, in case I should be killed...

Don't grieve me too long

Promise me that you will

Marry another and don't let him treat our babies mean,

And when he's holding you, won't you think of me too, Josephine?

[CHORUS]

Tell the children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more.

Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door.

Tell Mama and Daddy I'm all right

And just one more thing:

I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine.

Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine.

Heart lyrics - Collin Raye

You never listen to a word I say

You do what you want to anyway

You think you're so smart, heart

I give you reasons why you're gonna get broken

But it's as if my words never were spoken

You're the one in charge, heart

Well, I've got no choice but to follow you

That's a fact, I'd better face it

'Cause I can't beat how you make me feel

Oh, you know you're so persuasive

You showed me everything that love could be

Then turned your back and brought me to my knees

You can be so hard, heart

Oh, I say stop and you say go, it drives me crazy

We agree on anything, it drives me crazy

But that's the way you are, heart

Well, I've got no choice but to follow you

That's a fact, I'd better face it

'Cause I can't beat how you make me feel

Oh, you know you're so persuasive

Sometimes I wish that you'd just leave me alone

But there's some things I can't do on my own

So I'll take my chance, finish what you start, heart

Yeah, mmmmm

Gonna finish what you start, heart

Yeah, you think that you're so smart

Don't you know, heart

This is the way you are

Mmmmm, oh, heart

All I Can Do Is Love You lyrics - Collin Raye

It's simple, so easy

Somethin' 'bout your gentle way that frees me

I feel it, all I can do is love you

This one thing I'm sure of

Nothin' sweeter in this world than your love

I'm certain all I can do is love you

All of my dreams are yours

Those distant shores of love at last have found me

Best way I can explain is there's hope again

And you're the light surrounding me

My lifetime I'll prove it

'Cause baby when it gets right down to it

I can't help it all I can do is love you

Like warm sun in winter

All I expected was this sweet surrender

I now know all I can do is love you

Forever, all I can do is love you

Let Your Love Flow lyrics - Collin Raye

There's a reason for the sunshiny sky

And there's a reason why I'm feeling so high

Must be the season when that love lights shines all around us

So let that feelin' grab you deep inside

And send you reelin' where your love can't hide

And then go stealin' through the summer nights

With your lover

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream

And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams

And let your love show and you'll know what I mean

It's the season

Just let your love fly like a bird on the wing

And let your love bind you to all living things

And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean

That's the reason, yeah, yeah

There's a reason for the warm sweet nights

And there's a reason for the candle lights

Must be the season when those love lights shine

All around us

So let the wonder take you into space

And lay you under its lovin' embrace

Oh, feel the thunder as it warms your face

You can't hold back, no, you can't hold back

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream

And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams

And let your love show and you'll know what I mean

It's the season

Yeah, just let your love fly like a bird on the wing

And let your love bind you to all living things

And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean

That's the reason, oh, yeah

Just let your love flow, yeah

Why don't you let your love flow

Oh, let your love flow like a mountain stream

And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams

And let your love show and you'll know what I mean

It's the season, yeah, yeah

Let your love fly like a bird on the wing

And let your love bind you to all living things

And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean

That's the reason

It's the season

Oh, to let your love flow like a mountain stream

And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams

And let your love show and you'll know what I mean

That's the reason to let your love flow

Why don't you let your love flow

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Just let that love flow

One more

Why don't you let your love flow

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Twenty Years And Change lyrics - Collin Raye

Jim played piano in a band called 'Angry Witness'

Out to fight the system in the fall of '81

Like all his friends he felt peace

Could we have for the askin'

It was just a matter of convincing the old ones

They broke up on John and Yoko's anniversary

Went seperate ways like most bands do

Same ol' frustration when they saw

The times were not a-changin'

Jim warmed up to the cold hard truth

Jim plays piano, a simple weekend warrior

At a cosy little mad spot just a few blocks from his home

He wakes up every mornin', has breakfast with his children

Sweet wife smilin' at him, thinks how good my life's become

This past Thursday was their 14th anniversary

Owned their own sweet home since '92

Monday through Firday

He sells those new lots off the highway

Wreith on the door, Red, White and Blue

Sometimes he wonders how did one man get so lucky

And what happend to his anger and his vow to heal the world

In just over two decades he has watched the earth revolvin'

Now just simple problem solvin', twenty years and change

How long did I love you before my heart stopped breakin'

Since the night I stood there shakin' when you ran out of my life

Now I think it's time I told you, even if you show no interest

How I came to feel forgiveness and finally set things right

It was twenty years, two months and five day this December

You wiped your shoes off on my heart

Hard to be realistic to betray a kid so idealistic

Flames of faith put out in the dark

Then one cold mornin' a real live frosty Friday

I turned to the pain beside me and I realized it was gone

I tore up all your pictures, never thinkin you might find me

Time to put that junk behind me and wonder why it took so long

Now here you stand on what would be our anniversay

Tellin' me how tough life's been on you

No satisfaction for I realized we've lost all attraction

Movin' on is all that's left to do

God, I feel so foolish for what seemed so devastatin'

And the love I had for hatin', was a tragic waste of time

Somehow I feel like laughin' with that free weight lifted from me

Oh, how wisdom does become me

Twenty years and change

We'll Be Alright lyrics - Collin Raye

Today the pain we feel is cuttin' deeper

The faith that we had yesterday is all twisted inside

We don't know how to go about tomorrow

But we'll be alright

And though the walls may crumble all around us

Dark clouds may force their way on a blue sky

These tears we share will only make us stronger

We'll be alright

As long as we remember, the only thing that last forever

Is the love we feel together, side by side

We'll be alright

Mmmmm-hmmm-mmmm

And when we find ourselves in trouble

The spirit of our love will always survive

I hope and pray the whole wide world's watchin'

'Cause we'll be alright

And I know that we'll remember all that lasts forever

Is the love we feel together, side by side

We'll be alright, we'll be alright

We'll be alright (we'll be alright)

Oh, I hope the whole world is watchin'

(We'll be alright, we'll be alright))

Side by side

It's Only Make Believe lyrics - Collin Raye

People see us everywhere

They think you really care

But myself I can't deceive

I know it's only make believe

My one and only prayer

Is that someday you'll care

My hopes, my dreams come true

My one and only you

No one will ever know

How much I love you so

My only prayer will be

Someday you'll care for me

But it's only make believe

My hope, my dreams come true

My life I'd give for you

My heart a wedding ring

My all my everything

My heart I can't control

You rule my very soul

My plans my hopes my schemes

You are my every dream

But it's only make believe

My one and only prayer

Is that someday you'll care

My hopes, my dreams come true

My one and only you

No one will ever know

How much I love you so

My only prayer will be

Someday you'll care for me

But it's only make believe

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
