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

Open Arms lyrics - Collin Raye
Lying beside you, here in the dark,
feeling your heart beat with mine.
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere.
How could our love be so blind?
We sailed on together, we drifted apart,
and here you are by my side.
[Chorus]
So now I come to you with open arms,
nothing to hide, believe what I'm sayin'.
So here I am, with open arms,
hoping you'll see what your love means to me -
open arms.
Living without you, living alone,
this empty house is so cold.
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near,
how I've wanted you home.
Now that you've come back, turned night into day,
now I need you to stay.
[Chorus]
feeling your heart beat with mine.
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere.
How could our love be so blind?
We sailed on together, we drifted apart,
and here you are by my side.
[Chorus]
So now I come to you with open arms,
nothing to hide, believe what I'm sayin'.
So here I am, with open arms,
hoping you'll see what your love means to me -
open arms.
Living without you, living alone,
this empty house is so cold.
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near,
how I've wanted you home.
Now that you've come back, turned night into day,
now I need you to stay.
[Chorus]
The Gift lyrics - Collin Raye
Winter snow is falling down, children laughing all around.
Lights are turnin' on, like a fairy tale come true.
Sitting by the fire we made, you're the answer when I prayed
I would find some one, and baby I found you.
And all I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart,
you gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.
Watching as you softly sleep,what I'd give if I could keep
just this moment, if only time stood still.
But the colors fade away, and the years will make us gray,
but baby in my eyes, you'll still be beautiful.
And all I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart.
You gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.
All I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart.
You gave your love away,
Can't find the words to say
And I'm thankful everyday for the gift
Lights are turnin' on, like a fairy tale come true.
Sitting by the fire we made, you're the answer when I prayed
I would find some one, and baby I found you.
And all I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart,
you gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.
Watching as you softly sleep,what I'd give if I could keep
just this moment, if only time stood still.
But the colors fade away, and the years will make us gray,
but baby in my eyes, you'll still be beautiful.
And all I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart.
You gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.
All I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart.
You gave your love away,
Can't find the words to say
And I'm thankful everyday for the gift
