1. I AM YOURS


Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and then you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

(I won't hesitate)
Open up your mind and see like me
(No more, no more)
Open up your plans and man you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot wait, I'm sure)

So please don't, please don't, please don't
(There's no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate
(Our time is short)
'Cause our time is short
(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours

2. WORD PLAY

[Songwriters: Mraz, Jason; Kadish, Kevin;]



I've been all around the world, I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter, in this g-generation
The sophmore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said that ain't my scene

'Cause they need a new song, like a new religion
Music for the television, I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure

So I drop my top, mix and a mingle
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes

Ha la la la la, l-listen closer to the verse I lay
Ha la la la la, it's all about the wordplay
Ha la la la love, the wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the Mr. A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay

When it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble in the lyrics, never mumble
When the music's makin' people tongue-tied

You want a new song, like a new religion
Music for the television, I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under

Pull out the stops, got your attention
I guess it's time again for me to mention, the wordplay

Ha la la la la, l-listen closer to the words I lay
Ha la la la la, it's all about the wordplay
Ha la la la love, the wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the Mr. A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay

I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness
That always seems to be a flowin'
But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
Oh the rhymin' and the timin'
Keeps the melodies inside of me
And they're climbin' till I'm running out of air

Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
Are you listening to a single word I've said?

Ah la la la la la la, listen closer to the words I say
Ah la la la la, I'm stickin' to the wordplay
Ah la la la love, the wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the Mr. A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay

Ha la la la la, I'm all about the wordplay
Ha la la la la, I'm stickin' with the wordplay
Ha la la la love, I love the wonderful thing it does
Because, because
The ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's are back in love
For the Mr. A to Z they say, is all about the wordplay

3. LUCKY

[Songwriters: Caillat, Colbie Marie; Fagen, Timothy James; Mraz, Jason Thomas;]

Do you hear me? I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning 'round
You hold me right here, right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh

4. MR. CURIOSITY

Hey Mr. Curiosity
Is it true what they've been saying about you
Well are you killing me
You took care of the cat already
And for those who think it's heavy
Is it the truth
Or is it only gossip
Call it mystery or anything
Oh just as long as you call me
I sent the message on did you get it when I left it
Said well this catastrophic event
It wasn't meant to mean no harm
But to think there's nothing wrong is a problem, oh

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
(Trying not to ask why)
This love is a mystery
Mr. Curious...

Come back to me
I'm a mr. waiting on and never patient can't you see
That I'm the same the way you left me, left me
In a hurry to spell check me
And I'm underlined already in envy green
And pencil red
And I've forgotten what you've said
Will you stop working for the dead and return
A mr. curious well I need some inspiration
It's my birthday and I cannot find no cause for celebration
The scenario is grave but I'll be braver when you save me
From this situation laden with hearsay, oh

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
(Trying not to ask why)
This love is a mystery
Mr. Curiosity
Hey mr. please
Do come and find me, oh
Oh, come on oh, yea yea

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
(Trying not to ask why)
Cause love is a mystery
Mr. curiosity
Hey mr. please
Do come and find me

Love is blinding when your timing's never right
Oh but who am I to beg for difference
Finding love in a distant instant
But I don't mind
Oh love at least I tried, well I tried...

5. CURBSIDE PROPHET

I’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I’m waiting for my rocket to come
I’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I’m waiting for my rocket

y’see it started way back in NYC
when i stole my first rhyme from the m.i.c.
at a west end avenue at 63
the beginning of a leap year, february, ’96
with a guitar picked up in the mix
i committed to the licks like a nickel back of tricks
well look at me now
look at me now
look at me now, now, now, now

i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket

well you’re never gonna guess
where i’ve been been been
and i have no regrets
that i bet my whole checking account
because it all amounts to nothing up in the end

well you can only count on the road again
we’ll soon be on the radio dial
and i been payin close attention to the Willie Nelson style
like a band of gypsies on the highway while
i’m one man pushin’ on the California skyline drive
up the coast mc brag the most
i ’m pickin up my pace and makin time like space ghost
raising a toast to the highway patrol with the most
put my cruise control on coast
with Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitation

i say, "i like your style, crazy pound pup!
you need a ride? [*woof*]
well come on, girl, hop in the truck!"

i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come on
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket

see i'm a down home brother, redneck undercover
with my guitar here
i'm ready to play
and i'm s a sucker for a filly
got a natural ability to give the freestyle
look at my flexibility
dangerous at the mike
my ghetto hat's cocked right
the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy"
the backstage betties taking more than they can get
they say, "what's up with m-r-a-z?"

hey, hey, something's different in my world today
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
hey, hey, something's different in my world today
they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
i'm just a curbside prophet
curbside prophet now
curbside prophet now
curbside
come on, now
curbside proPhet
waiting for my rocket to come...

6. PRETTIEST FRIEND



This is what I look like today
And I'm trying not to pull out my hair
I'm trying not to show it
'Cause I'm far too shy to grow it back there
That's probably why I like wearing hats

There's no denying, I'm deferring the facts
Avoiding confrontation
Lacks tact in a situation
Behind every line is a lesson yet to learn

But if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is overwhelming
And oh, it goes to show
I've so much to know

I wrote this for my prettiest friend
Who while trying not to prove that I care
Trying not to make
All my moves in one motion and scare her away

Well, she can't see she's making me crazy now
I don't believe she knows she's amazing how

She has me holding my breathe
So I'd never guess that I'm a none such unsuitable, suited for her

But if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is complimentary
And oh, it goes to show
The moral of the story is boy loves girl
And so, on the way that it unfolds is yet to be told

I know that I should be brave
Even pretty can be seen by the blind
I know that I cannot wait
Until the day we finally learn how to find each other
Redefining open minds

And if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is overjoyed
And it's golden, it goes to show then
The ending of this song should be left alone
And so on, 'cause the way it unfolds is yet to be told

7. YOU AND I BOTH


Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice and I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing out the whole thing

Oh but at often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright light turns to night
Oh until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love
Oh the love that I love, yeah

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words than I had ever heard and I feel so alive

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see now

Oh love, love, you and I, you and I
Not so little, you and I anymore
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now

Well then I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of, finally de de de de de de
Well I'm almost finally finally
Well I am free, oh I'm free

And it's okay if you had to go away
Oh, just remember the telephone
Well, they're workin it both ways

But if I never, ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Finally found you someone else and that's okay
'Cause I'll remember everything you sang

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now

Well then I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of, finally de de de de de de
Well I'm almost finally, finally out of words

8. SLEEPING TO DREAM

And I
I'm dreaming of sleeping next to you and feeling like a lost little boy in a brand new town
I'm counting my sheep and each one that passes is another dream to ashes
And they all fall down.

And as I lay me down tonight
I close my eyes
What, what a beautiful sight

[Chorus:]
Sleeping to dream about you
And I'm so tired
Of having to live without you
But I don't mind
Sleeping to dream about you and I'm so tired

I found myself in the riches
Your eyes, your lips, your hair and you were everywhere
I woke up in the ditches, I hit the light and I thought you might be here
But you were nowhere (you were nowhere)
Well You were nowhere

And as I lay me back to sleep
Lord I pray that I can keep

[Repeat Chorus]

9. PLANE

Drain the veins in my head
Clean out the reds in my eyes to get by security lines
Dear x-ray machine
Pretend you don't know me so well
I wont tell if you lied
Cry, cause the droughts been brought up
Drinkin' cause you're lookin so good in your starbucks cup
I complain for the company that I keep
The windows for sleeping rearrange
And I'm nobody
Well who's laughin now

I'm leaving your town again
And I'm over the ground that you've been spinning
And I'm up in the air so baby hell yeah
Well I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, damn
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn

Damn, I should be so lucky
Even only 24 hours under your touch
You know I need you so much
I cannot wait to call you
And tell you that I landed somewhere
And hand you a square of the airport
And walk you through the maze of the map
That im gazing at
Gracefully unnamed and feeling guilty for the luck
And the look that you gave me
You make me somebody
Ain't nobody knows me
Not even me can see it, yet I bet I'm

I'm leaving your town again love
But I'm over the quilt that you've spinning
And I'm up in the air, so baby hell yeah

Oh honey I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, damn
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn

You keep me high minded
You get me high

Flax seeds, well they tear me open
And supposedly you can crawl right through me
Taste these teeth please
And undress me from these sweaters better hurry
Cause I'm keeping upward bound now
Oh maybe I'll build my house in your cloud
Here I'm tumbling for you
Stumbling through the work that I have to do
Don't mean to harm you

By leaving your town again love
But I'm over the ground that you've been spinning
But I'm up in the air, said baby hell yeah
Oh honey I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, damn
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn
Well I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn

Who do you
Think you are, are, are, are
To keep me so oh cold, cold
You keep me high minded
You keep me high minded

You get me high minded
You get me high

10. ON LOVE... IN SADNESS




Oh love it's a brittle madness, I sing about it in all my sadness
It's not falsified to say that I found god so inevitably well,
It still exists pale and fine. I can't dismiss
And I won't resist and if I die well at least I tried

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind, rust and in the rain endure.
The rust and the rain are sins
And I'm in like Flynn again

So go on place your order now cause some other time is right around the clock
You can stand in line. it finally begins just around the clock
You can have your pick if your stomach is sick whether you eat or not
And there is just one thing that I never forgot

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind, rust and in the rain so easy

These are the comforts that be

You see well I'm feeling lucky oh well, maybe that's just me
You should be proud of me oh hell if you could only see
That we're gonna grow on up to be, ah yes
We are thick as thieves

Oh love it's a brittle madness, I sing about it in all my sadness
It's not falsified to say that I found god
Inevitably, well it still exists pale and fine I can't dismiss
And I won't resist and if I die well at least I tried

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind and the rust and the rain endure
(the rust and the rain endure. I'm sure.)

I am insofar to know the measure of love isn't loss
Love will never ever be insofar to know the measure of love isn't loss
Love will never ever be lost on me.
Love will never ever be lost on me.

11. DID YOU GET MY MESSAGE

Did you get my message, the one I left
While I was trying to condense everything
That I meant in a minute or less when I called to confess
And make all of my stresses go bye-bye

Did you get my message, you did not guess
'cuz if you did you would have called me with your sweet intent
And we could give it a rest
'stead of beating my breast
Making all of the pressure go sky-high

Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send
Do they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
And come back together again with a whole new meaning
In a brand new sense, completely unrelated to the one I sent

Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, yeah, oooh oooh ooooh hooo

Uh oh, where did it go, must have bypassed your phone
And fallen right outta the window
[Rachel Yamagata:] ooh well, how can I tell?
Shoulda called the operator maybe she know the info
But whether or not my message you got was too much or a lot to reply
[Rachel Yamagata:] why not try this for a fact
Should you ever come back I'd relax and feel relieved
Before my panic attack

Ahh hooo oooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh

Did you get my message, yeah oooh oooh ooooh hooo

Did you get my message, the one that I left
While I was trying to condense everything that I meant
[Rachel Yamagata:] Now the moment is passed
Not much sand in the glass and I'm standing to lose my mind
Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send
So they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
And come back together again with a whole new meaning
In a brand new sense, and please be sympathetic to the time I spent

Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, yeah oooh oooh ooooh hooo
Did you get my message
[Rachel Yamagata:] no I didn't hear a word you said
Did you get my message
[Rachel Yamagata:] no I'm not gonna believe your lies anymore
Did you get my message that I want to reconnect with you
Did you get my message
[Rachel Yamagata:] I can hear you say your coming but I don't hear
Why did you get the message love ?
That I want to get back with you
Did you get my message love
That I want to reconnect with you
Why did you get the message love ?
Did you get my message
[Rachel Yamagata and Mraz:] That I want to reconnect with you

1. SNOW ON THE SAHARA




Only tell me that you still want me here
When you wander off out there
To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow
In that dry white ocean alone
Lost out in the desert
you are lost out in the desert
But to stand with you in a ring of fire
I'll forget the days gone by
I'll protect your body and guard your soul
From mirages in your sight
Lost out in the desert

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes,
I'll pray the skies above
for snow to fall on the Sahara
If that's the only place where
you can leave your doubts
I'll hold you up and be your way out

And if we burn away,
I'll pray the skies above for
snow to fall on the Sahara

Just a wish and I will cover your shoulders
With veils of silk and gold
When the shadows come and darken your heart
Leaving you with regrets so cold
Lost out in the desert

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above
for snow to fall on the Sahara
If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
I'll hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away,
I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara...

2. SECRET OF THE SEA

Secret Of The Sea lyrics
Calling 'cross the blue
It's all I do
One day you'll come back to me
It's a secret of the sea
I'll always love you
Always

I see
Floating on the ocean
Somewhere under the sun
Your golden skin
In cypress and blue

I hear
Waves that come rolling in
Fleetness of wings
A sound is missing
A sign from you

Calling 'cross the blue
It's all I do
One day you'll come back to me
It's a secret of the sea
I'll always love you

I may never know
Where you did go
Whatever took you from here
One these currents that run deep
I'll always love you
Always

We would
Sail into that big sky
Forget about the time
On the wind we would ride
Watchin' wild birds sweep and glide

I'll linger just a little more
Drifting on a foreign shore
Spend my nights
Waiting out the tides

Calling 'cross the blue
It's all I do
One day you'll come back to me
It's a secret of the sea
I'll always love you

I may never know
Where you did go
Whatever took you from here
On these currents that run deep
I'll always love you
Always

3. BROKEN DREAM

We promised that we'd share our lives
And nothing could tear us apart
But I feel that something has gone wrong

I must try to find the way
To tell you what I want to say
That I feel that something has gone wrong

Cause I don't feel the flame again
I don't want to have to pretend
That I'm still in love with you

I don't feel the flame again
I don't want to have to pretend
That I'm still in love with you

See me
Free me
Let me go

I will not promise you
The things I can't do
And I can't afford to live in love that's through

Forgive me I have sinned
I've made a broken dream
And this has to end, I hope you understand

Cause I don't feel the flame again
I don't want to have to pretend
That I'm still in love with you

I don't feel the flame again
I don't want to have to pretend
That I'm still in love with you

See me
Free me
Let me go

Promise that we'd share our lives
And nothing would tear us apart
But I feel that something has gone wrong

I'LL BE ALRIGHT VIDEO



4. MEMORY OF YOUR SHORES

Smoke fills the sky
Another day in a new town for me
I look for the light
Under the clouds, beyond the concrete

Up here I hide
Watching the crowds move along

Down those grey streets, I am lost here
In my dreams all alone, I still

Go back, in the memory of my home
Anticipating
One day you'll follow

Oh it's been too long
Since I could see the stars overhead

We used to count them
Shared all our passions, and swore not to tell

I hold them now
And now I know where those stars fell

Days would fly by
When you were mine
Like these dreams I have known, I still

Go back, in the memory of your shores
Left you there waiting
So long ago

Right there, in the memory of my home
Anticipating
One day you'll follow

One day you'll follow

I'll be here waiting for you

VIDEO


5. UNDRESS ME

When I can't see right in your eyes
When I'm surrounded in the craziness of time
When you're understanding, is trying hard to stand still
When I wear layers of my pride, you should

Undress me, undress me
Unlock this chain and set me free
Remind me to be myself
Undress me, undress me
Unleash my heart and make me see
When I become someone else

Whenever I'm trapped in this tide
When I forgotten that there is you and I
When your persuasion is fighting in a blindfold
when I wear my bad moods to my mouth, you should

Undress me, undress me
Unlock this chain and set me free
Remind me to be myself, myself
Undress me, undress me
Unleash my heart and make me see
When I become someone else

Like a rose without its thorn
Like a bird without a song
Like the fire without the flame
If there's a painless love, we wouldn't be the same

Undress me, undress me
Unlock this chain and set me free
Remind me to be myself, my self
Undress me, undress me
Unleash my heart and make me see
When I become someone else

Undress me, undress me
Unlock this chain and set me free
Remind me to be myself, myself
Undress me, undress me
Unleash my heart and make me see

6. FORBIDDEN LOVE


Said with no sound
Another new round
The moon is up high and here I go again

You gave me a sign
That your love is still mine
And I feel the fire burns inside me

Say it once more
Say it for sure
I hear your heart is calling out my name

Like a whisper
Long and tender
Make me alive inside your eyes again

How I wish I could try to run away
From this power
The power of forbidden love
How I wish I could try to turn off the volume
From these voices
The voices of forbidden love
How I wish I could close my eyes to all of these
Temptations
Temptations of...

You are captured
Fall in rapture
I don't think my heart will ever let you go

For another
Love from other
Cause I can give everything you've always dreamed

Make me alive inside your eyes again


How I wish I could try to run away
From this power
The power of forbidden love
How I wish I could try to turn off the volume
From these voices
The voices of forbidden love
How I wish I could close my eyes to all of these
Temptations
Temptations of...


How I wish I could try to run away
From this power
The power of forbidden love
How I wish I could try to turn off the volume
From these voices
The voices of forbidden love
How I wish I could close my eyes to all of these
Temptations
Temptations of forbidden love

7. TEARS OF SORROW

Ego lies in human nature
Scars the face in every one of us
What's mine is mine
What's yours is yours
It seems like we forget about the heaven's floor

Set a wider gap between us
We build up walls without no shame
We turn away
If you're not one of us
But I thought, there's one color in our blood



We run around in circles
Why not reach for a truth eternal
Living life that's so superficial
We'll drown in the tears of sorrow

Greed demands our full attention
We only live for our own gain it seems
What's mine is mine
What's yours is yours
I fear we'll lose the faith we ignore

Now look around to find an answer
The truth it comes as no surprise
You're not alone, you're any one of us
I'm not blind to the mirror of our lives

We run around in circles
Why not reach for a truth eternal
Living life that's so superficial
We'll drown in the tears of sorrow

We run around in circles
Why not reach for a truth eternal
Living live that's so superficial
We'll drown in the tears of sorrow

(bridge)

Around in circles
A truth eternal
So superficial
We'll drown in the tears of sorrow

We run around in circles
Why not reach for a truth eternal
Living life that's so superficial
We'll drown in the tears of sorrow

We run around in circles
Oohhhh
Living life that's so superficial
We'll drown in the tears of sorrow

8. EDEN IN HER EYES

It's been a long wait until
These changes I feel
Could all this be
A dream that turns real

My reflection will tell
There's a life within me
Breathing silently

Eden in her eyes
I knew it's worth the while
I've put my faith in time
To cradle her in my arms

Eden in her eyes
Pictured in my mind
Was only a matter of time
Till I see my baby's eyes

It's so hard to describe
I don't know where to start
What the words can't say
I'll leave it that way

Now the mirror can sing
Always knew you'd arrive in my life
Waiting is believing

Eden in her eyes
I knew it's worth the while
I've put my faith in time
To cradle her in my arms

Eden in her eyes
Pictured in my mind
Was only a matter of time
Till I see my baby's eyes

She is my ray of light
That vanished my darkest nights
Now life is sweet as candy
I banished my sugar-free side

And the warmth that I feel
Each time I realized that she's here
Makes me know that God loves me

LIFE ON MARS VIDEO


9. STILL REMINDS ME

I cut off my hair
Put some red on every nail on my feet
I think it's pretty
I repainted all the rooms
Got a cat that I named June, obviously
I think she's happy
Friends threw some parties
I've been to them all there's not one that I missed

And I've tried to spend my time with somebody new
But everyone
Still reminds me of you
And tried to play some songs that change my point of view
But every sound
Still reminds me of you

I've done some walking
Listen to the people talk on the street
I don't feel lonely
I saw some movies
But your face kept coming back on the screen
I think I'm crazy
Can't make decisions
I could use some more distractions today

And I've tried to spend my time with somebody new
But everyone
Still reminds me of you
And tried to play some songs that change my point of view
But every sound
Still reminds me of you

I wonder where did I go wrong? What made you gone?
How I hate to feel alone

I've tried to spend my time with somebody new
But everyone
Still reminds me of you
And tried to play some songs that change my point of view
But every sound
Still reminds me of you
Still reminds me...

10. NAKED SLEEP

I wanna touch you
I wanna hold you
I wanna feel your hands and hear you say
I wanna touch you
wanna hold you
I'm yours forever one more day

Cause tonight there's only love
Nothing else should be sad
Cause tonight there's only peace
A naked sleep, in a naked bed

I wanna touch you
I wanna hold you
Wanna feel the weight and hear you say
I want you to touch me
I want you to hold me
You're mine forever one more day

Cause tonight there's only love
Nothing else, don't forget
Cause tonight there's only peace
A naked sleep In naked beds

Saved from loneliness
I reach to touch your face
I meet the salty taste of you
Fear might never rest
but I wont go for less
I will go for more too

Wanna touch you
Wanna hold you
I'm yours forever one more day
Wanna touch you
Wanna be with you
A naked sleep in naked beds.

11. A ROSE IN THE WIND




To the road I did take
Trembling as the ground shakes
Under my feet cracked in a stone heal
Never ending motion
Way across the ocean
Into your devotion
Long have I gone so far from my home
Chorus:
What to do with this love that I'm in
I have given you all of my soul
Flying all my life like a rose in the wind
Tell me why I'm always alone
On my way back home
(Indonesian spoken)
Dreaming always begins
Find a door that's opening
Something there is shining
The light in your eyes when you were all mine]

All alone as I wake
Moving to a new place
Shivering as I trace
A road of my own cut by a deep cold
(Repeat chorus)
Hang on to me tight and a rose in the wind
Will be wherever you go
On your way back home

Can I take you back there?
Drifting on the warm air
Say you'll follow anywhere
All of our nights into the jade skies
I'll be true to you
Flying over the moon
Lying in the bamboo
I'll always know the light in the window
(repeat chorus)
Alone

AMY WINEHOUSE: LOVE IS A LOSING GAME [10]

Amy Jade Winehouse (born 14 September 1983) is an English singer-songwriter, known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including R&B, soul, and jazz.[2] Winehouse is best known for her powerful contralto vocals[3] and substance abuse and mental health issues[4][5] In 2005, she went through a period of drinking, heavy drug use, violent mood swings and weight loss.

Winehouse's 2003 debut album Frank was critically successful in the UK, and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Her 2006 follow-up album Back to Black led to six Grammy Award nominations and five wins, tying the record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night, and made Winehouse the first British singer to win five Grammys, including three of the "Big Four": Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. On 14 February 2007, she won a BRIT Award for Best British Female Artist; she had also been nominated for Best British Album. She has won the Ivor Novello Award three times, one in 2004 for Best Contemporary Song (musically and lyrically) for "Stronger Than Me", one in 2007 for Best Contemporary Song for "Rehab", and one in 2008 for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for "Love Is a Losing Game", among other prestigious distinctions. The album was the third biggest seller of the 2000s in the United Kingdom. Winehouse has agreed to form a group with The Roots drummer ?uestlove.

Winehouse has been credited as being an influence in the rise in popularity of female musicians and soul music and revitalising British music. Winehouse's distinctive style has been the muse for fashion designers such as Karl Lagerfeld. The singer's problems with drug and alcohol abuse, as well as self-destructive behaviour, have become regular tabloid news since 2007. She and her former husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, were plagued by legal troubles that left him serving prison time. In 2008, Winehouse faced a series of health complications that threatened both her career and her life.[10][11]

1. TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN

[Songwriters: Winehouse, Amy;]

All I can ever be to you is a darkness that we know
And this regret I got accustomed to
Once it was so right when we were at our high
Waiting for you in the hotel at night

I knew I hadn't met my match but every moment we could snatch
I don?t know why I got so attached
It?s my responsibility and you don?t owe nothing to me
But to walk away, I have no capacity

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I?m gone
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I don?t understand, why do I stress the man
When there?s so many better things at hand
We could a never had it all, we had to hit a wall
So this is inevitable withdrawal

Even if I stop wanting you, a perspective pushes through
I?ll be some next man?s other woman soon
I cannot play myself again, I should just be my own best friend
Not **** myself in the head with stupid men


He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I?m gone
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

So we are history, your shadow covers me
The sky above, a blaze

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I?m gone
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I wish I could sing no regrets and no emotional debts
'Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets
So we are history, the shadow covers me
The sky above, a blaze that only lovers see

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I?m gone
And in your way my blue shade
My tears dry on their own

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I am gone
And in your way my deep shade
My tears dry on their own

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I?m gone
And in your way my deep shade
My tears dry

2. IN MY BED


Wish I could say it breaks my heart
like you did in the beginning
Its not that we grew apart
a nightingale no longer singing

Its something i know you cant do
seperate sex with emotion
I sleep alone the sun comes up
your still clinging to that notion

Every thing is slowing down
river of no return
recognise my every sound
there is nothing new to learn

you'll never get my mind right
like 2 ships passing in the night
in the night, in the night
want the same thing where we lay
otherwise mines a different way
a different way from where Im going
oh, its you again listen this isnt a reunion
so sorry if i turn my head
yours is a familliar face
but that dont make your place safe
in my bed my bed my bed

I never thought my memory
of what we had could be intruded
but I couldnt let it be
I needed it as much as you did

Now its not hard to understand
why we just speak at night
The only time I hold your hand
is to get the angle right
Everything is slowing down
river of no return
you recognise my every sound
theres nothing new to learn

you'll never get my mind right
like 2 ships passing in the night
in the night in the night
want the same thing where we lay
otherwise mines a different way
a different way from where im going
oh, its you again listen this isnt a reunion
so sorry if I turn my head
yours is a familliar face
but that dont make your place safe
in my bed, my bed, my ba ba dee dee bed

3. YOU KNOW I AM NO GOD

Songwriters: Winehouse, Amy;

Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull T-shirt
You say, "What did you do with him today?"
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray

'Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your Stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear men down like Roger Moore

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Upstairs in bed with my ex-boy
He's in a place but I can't get joy
Thinking on you in the final throes
This is when my buzzer goes

Run out to meet you, chips and pitta
You say, "When we married", 'cause you're not bitter

There'll be none of him no more
I cried for you on the kitchen floor

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Sweet reunion Jamaica and Spain
We're like how we were again
I'm in the tub, you on the seat
Lick your lips as a I soak my feet

And then you notice likkle carpet burns
My stomach drop and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
Who truly stuck the knife in first

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
Yeah, you know that I'm no good

4. LOVE IS A LOSING GAME

Songwriters: Winehouse, Amy;

For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game

Why do I wish I never played
Oh, what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand


Self professed, profound
Till the chips were down
Know you?re a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

Though I?m rather blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

5. F**K ME PUMPS

When you walk in the bar,
And you dressed like a star,
Rockin' your F me pumps.

And the men notice you,
With your Gucci bag crew,
Can't tell who he's lookin' to.

Cuz you all look the same,
Everyone knows your name,
And that's you whole claim to fame.

Never miss a night,
Cuz your dream in life,
Is to be a footballers wife.
You don't like players,
That's what you say-a,
But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire.

You don't like ballers,
They don't do nothing for ya,
But you'd love a rich man six foot two or taller.

You're more than a fan,
Lookin' for a man,
But you end up with one-nights-stands.

He could be your whole life,
If you got past one night,
But that part never goes right.

In the morning you're vexed,
He's onto the next,
And you didn't even get no taste.

Don't be too upset,
If they call you a skank,
Cuz like the news everyday you get pressed.

You don't like players,

That's what you say-a,
But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire.

Or them big ballers,
Don't do nothing for ya.
But you'd love a rich man six foot two or taller,

You can't sit down right,
Cuz you jeans are too tight,
And your lucky its ladies night.

With your big empty purse,
Every week it gets worse,
At least your breasts cost more than hers.

So you did Miami,
Cuz you got there for free,
But somehow you missed the plane.

You drank too much martini
Met somebody,(nicky)
And spent the night not getting depressed

Without girls like you,
There'd be no fun,
We'd go to the club and not see anyone.

Without girls like you,
There's no nightlife,
All those men just go home to their wives.

Don't be mad at me,
Cuz you're pushing thirty one
And your old tricks no longer work.

You should have known from the job,
That you always get dumped,
So dust off your fuck me pumps

6. ALL MY LOVIN


Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true

And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

I'll pretend that I'm kissing
The lips that I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true

And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

All my loving, I will send to you
[. From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/amy-winehouse-lyrics/all-my-lovin_-lyrics.html .]
All my loving, darling I'll be true

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true

And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

All my loving, I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true
All my loving, all my loving
Ooh, all my loving, I will send to you

7. JUST FRIENDS

When will we get the time to be just friends
It's never safe for us not even in the evening
'cos I've been drinking
Not in the morning where your shit works
It's always dangerous when everybody's sleeping
And I've been thinking
Can we be alone?
Can we be alone?

When will we get the time to be just friends
When will we get the time to be just friends

And no I'm not ashamed but the guilt will kill you
If she don't first
I'll never love you like her
Though we need to find the time
To just do this shit together
For it gets worse
I wanna touch you
But that just hurts

When will we get the time to be just just friends
When will we get the time to be just friends, just friends
When will we get the time to be just friends, just friends
When will we get the time to be just friends, just friends
Just friends

8. YOU SEND MY FLYING [ CHERRY]




Lent you outsiders and my new Badu
while you were thinking I didn't have a clue
tough to sort files with your voice in my head
So then I bribed you downstairs with a malboro red
and now I feel so small discovering you knew
How much more torture would you have put me through?
you probably saw me laughing at all your jokes
or how I did not mind when you stole all my smokes
And although my pride is not easy to disturb
you sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
With your battered jeans (yeah) and your beastie tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me

And although he is nothing in the scheme of my years
it just serves to blugdeon my futile tears
And I'm not use to this,no no I observe, I don't chase
But now i sit with consequences thrust in my face
And the melodramas of my day deliver blows,
that surpass your rejection it just goes to show,
a simple attraction that reflects right back to me

so I'm not as into you as I appear to be.

although my pride yeah is not easily disturbed yeah yeah
you sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
With you battered jeans yeah and your beasties tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me

His message was brutal but the delivery was kind
maybe if I get this down I'll get it off my mind
oh it serves to condition me and smoothen my kinks,
despite my frustation for the way that he thinks.
and I knew the truth, when it came, would be to that effect
At least you're attracted to me which I did not expect
didn't think you get my number down and such
but I never hated myself for my age so much yeah

And although my pride yeah is not easily disturbed
you sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb
so with your battered jeans and your beasties tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me

9. REHAB

[Songwriters: Winehouse, Amy;]



They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go

I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventeen days
'Cause there's nothing, there's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know we don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go

The man said, "Why do you think you here?"
I said, "I got no idea"
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near

He said, "I just think you're depressed
Kiss me, yeah baby and go rest"

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just, ooh, I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend

And it's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go

10. BACK TO BLACK

He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....

I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

1. SOMEDAY WHEN I STOP LOVING YOU


One foot on the bus
Bout half past nine
I knew that you were leaving this time
I thought about laying down in its path
Thinking that you might get off for that

I remember that night we laid in bed
Naming all our kids that we hadn't had yet
One for your grandma and one for mine
Said we'd draw straws when it came time

I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you

I bet all I had on a thing called love

Guess in the end it wasn't enough
And it's hard to watch you leave right now
I'm gonna have to let you go somehow
Somehow

I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you
Oooh.. oh someday.. oh someday

I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you

2. DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER ME


[Songwriters: Hayes, Morgane; Gorley, Ashley Glenn; Lovelace, Kelley;]

Eighteen years had come and gone
For Momma they flew by
But for me they drug on and on

We were loadin' up that Chevy
Both tryin' not to cry
Momma kept on talkin', puttin' off goodbye
Then she took my hand and said
?Baby don't forget?

?Before you hit the highway
You better stop for gas
And there's a fifty in the ashtray
In case you run short on cash?

?Here's a map and here's a Bible
If you ever lose your way
Just one more thing before you leave
Don't forget to remember me?

This downtown apartment
Sure makes me miss home
And those bills there on the counter
Keep tellin' me I'm on my own

And just like every Sunday

I called Mama up last night
And even when it's not
I tell her everything's all right
Before we hung up I said
?Hey Mama don't forget?

?To tell my baby sister
I'll see her in the fall
And tell Mee-Mal that I miss her
Yeah I should give her a call?

?And make sure you tell daddy
That I'm still his little girl
Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be
But don't forget to remember me?

Tonight I find myself kneelin' by the bed to pray
I haven't done this in a while
So I don't know what to say

But Lord I feel so small sometimes
In this big old place
Yeah I know there's more important things
But don't forget to remember me
Don't forget to remember me

3. I TOLD YOU SO



Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home".
And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson"
And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone.

If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killin' me to be so far away.
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?
Or would you simply laugh at me and say:

"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand?
Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began?

Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you'd been so lonely
And you waited for the day that I returned.
And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned?

Would you say:

"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you have to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

"Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

4. LAST NAME


{Songwriters: Underwood, Carrie; Laird, Luke; Lindsey, Hillary;]

Last night I got served a little bit too much of that poison, baby
Last night I did things I'm not proud of and I got a little crazy
Last night I met a guy on the dance floor and I let him call me baby

And I don't even know his last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, "Hey cutie, where are you from?"
And then it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name

And he left the club about around 3 o'clock in the mornin?
His Pinto is sittin? there in the parkin? lot when it should?ve been a warnin?
And I had no clue what I was gettin? into so I blame it on the Cuervo
Oh, where did my manners go?

And I don't even know his last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, "Hey cutie, where are you from?"
And then it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name, here we go!
Today I woke up thinkin' ?bout Elvis somewhere in Vegas, I'm not sure
How I got here or how this ring on my left hand just appeared
Outta nowhere, I gotta go, I take the chips and the Pinto and hit the road
They say what happens here stays here, all of this'll disappear
It's just one little problem

I don't even know my last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, "Hey cutie, where are you from?"
And then it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name

What have I done? What have I done? What have I done?
Oh, what have I done? I don't even know my last name
When it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name

It started off, "Hey cutie, where are you from?"
And then it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name, oh yeah

5. JUST A DREAM

[Songwriters: Lindsey, Hillary; Mcewan, Steve; Sampson, Gordie;]

It was two weeks after the day she turned 18
All dressed in white, goin? to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Six pins in her shoe, somethin? borrowed, somethin? blue

And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down, tryin? to hide the tears
Oh, she just couldn?t believe it
She heard the trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hands

Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin? on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe

It's like I'm lookin? from a distance, standin? in the background
Everybody's sayin?, he's not comin? home now
This can't be happenin? to me, this is just a dream

The preacher man said, ?Let's bow our heads and pray
Lord, please lift his soul and heal this hurt"
Then the congregation all stood up and sang
The saddest song that she ever heard


And then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, well, what could?ve been?
And then the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart

Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin? on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe

It's like I'm lookin? from a distance, standin? in the background
Everybody's sayin?, he's not comin? home now
This can't be happenin? to me, this is just a dream

Ooh, baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin? on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, I'll never know

It's like I'm lookin? from a distance, standin? in the background
Everybody's sayin?, he's not comin? home now
This can't be happenin? to me, this is just a dream

Oh, this is just a dream
It?s just a dream, yeah, yeah

6. SOME HEARTS



I've never been the kind that you'd call lucky
Always stumbling' around in circles
But I must have stumbled into something
Look at me
Am I really alone with you
I wake up feeling like my life's worth living
Can't recall when I last felt that way
Guess it must be all this love you're giving
Never knew never knew it could be like this
But I guess

Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get lucky, lucky sometimes

Now who'd have thought someone like you could love me
You're the last thing my heart expected
Who'd have thought I'd ever find somebody
Someone who someone who makes me feel like this

Well I guess

Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side, yes
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Ohhhhhh

Even hearts like mine
Get lucky, lucky sometimes

Even hearts like mine
Ohhhhhhhh

Some hearts,
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes

Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side, yes
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes

7. WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME


I wanna call the stars down from the sky
I wanna live a day that never dies
I wanna change the world only for you
All the impossible I wanna do

I wanna hold you close under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile and feel the pain
I know what’s beautiful looking at you
In a world of lies you are the truth

And baby every time you touch me I become a hero
I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for, nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

I wanna make you see just what I was
Show you the loneliness and what it does
You walked into my life to stop my tears
Everything’s easy now I have you here

And baby every time you touch me I become a hero
I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for, nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

In a world without you I will always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger

Every time you touch me I become a hero
I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for, nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
When you tell me that you love me
When you tell me that you love me, oh
When you tell me that you love me

8. UNDO IT

[Songwriters: Dioguardi, Kara; Frederiksen, Marti; Laird, Luke; Underwood, Carrie;]

I should've known by the way you passed me by
There was something in your eyes and it wasn't right
I should've walked, but I never had the chance
Everything got out of hand, and I let it slide

Now I only have myself to blame
For falling for your stupid games
I wish my life could be the way
It was before I saw your face

You stole my happy, you made me cry
Took the lonely, and took me for a ride
And I wanna undo it

You had my heart, now I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy you blew it, you put me through it
I wanna undo it

Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na na

Now your photos don't have a picture frame
And I never say your name, and I never will
And all your things, well, I threw them in the trash
And I'm not even sad

Now you only have yourself to blame
For playing all those stupid games
You're always going to be the same
Oh no, you'll never change

You stole my happy, you made me cry
Took the lonely, and took me for a ride
And I wanna undo it

You had my heart, now I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy you blew it, you put me through it
I wanna undo it

Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na na

You want my future, you can't have it
I'm still trying to erase you from my past
I need you gone so fast

You stole my happy, you made me cry
Took the lonely, and took me for a ride
And I wanna undo it

You had my heart, now I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy you blew it, you put me through it
I wanna undo it

You stole my happy, you made me cry
Took the lonely, and took me for a ride
Boy you blew it, you put me through it
I wanna undo it

9. THAT IS WHERE IT IS

In the circles I've been running,
I've covered many miles,
And I could search forever for what's right before my eyes,
Just when I thought I'd found it,
It was nothing like I'd planned,
When I got my heart around it, it slipped right through my hands,
Here with you I feel it,
I close my eyes and see it,

In a midnight talk, in a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is,
That's where it is

When I'm crashing through the madness,
Not sure who I'm supposed to be,
When I'm caught up in the darkness,
It's your hand that's leading me,
You bring me back to solid ground,
You lift me up right here, right now

In a midnight talk, in a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is

[Bridge]
It's a life time filled with tight embraces
The biggest things in the smallest places,

In a midnight talk, in a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is

In the sweetest smile, on a night like this,
And a tender touch, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up, and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is,
That's where it is....

10. COW BOY CASANOVA

Songwriters: Elizondo, Michael A Jr; James, Brett; Underwood, Carrie;

You better take it from me
That boy is like a disease
You run and you try and you're tryin' to hide
And you're wondering why you can't get free

He's like a curse, he's like a drug
You'll get addicted to his love
You wanna get out, but he's holdin' you down
'Cause you can't live without one more touch

He's a, a good time, cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery

He's the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life

I see that look on your face
You ain't hearing what I say
So I'll say it again, 'cause I been where you been
And I know how it ends, you can't get away

Don't even look in his eyes
He'll tell you nothing but lies
And you wanna believe but you won't be deceived
If you listen to me and take my advice

He's a, a good time, cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery

He's the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life

Run run away, don't let him mess with your mind
He'll tell you anything you wanna hear
He'll break your heart, it's just a matter of time
But just remember

He's a, a good time, cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery

He's the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life

Oh, you better run for your life
Oh, you better run for your life

11. INSIDE YOUR HEAVEN


[Songwriters: Nylen, Per; Carlsson, Andreas; Kotecha, Savan;]

I've been down, now I'm blessed
I felt a revelation coming around
I guess it's right, it's so amazing
Every time I see you I'm alive

You're all I've got
You lift me up
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes

I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in, a soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

When we touch
When we love
The stars light up
The wrong becomes undone

Naturally
My soul surrenders
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes

And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way

And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in, a soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

When minutes turn to days and years
When mountains fall, I'll still be here
Holding you until the day I die

I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
And I wanna be inside in your heaven
I wanna be inside
Where the storm blows your way

And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in, a soothing wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

1. I WILL HOLD MY BREATH



[Songwriters: Dow Smith, Finlay Graham; Goulding, Ellie;]

Breathe air, you're not used to
Tread floors, you don't fall through
Make waves, you crash a symbol hard
Follow no one, always play the wrong card

Waste days in foreign places
Shed lights on your better side
Reassure me that you'll wait for me
Wait for me as long as it takes
And I'll hold my breath, I'll hold my breath

Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us

You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears, we'll blow them all way
We'll blow them all way

Fight fires in your best clothes
Touch skin with your eyes closed
Chase thunder with the volume down
Pack a suitcase, wander to the next town

Force quit on your losing streak

Solve a riddle in a magazine, be tongue in cheek
Tell me that we're still too young
That we're still too young and I'll hold my tongue

Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us

You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears, we'll blow them all way
We'll blow them all way

I'm here, I'm here to take you
I'll swim, I'll swim to save you
No fall, I'm here to catch you
I'll swim, I will swim to save you

Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us

You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears, we'll blow them all way
We'll blow them all way

2. EVERY TIME YOU GO


[Songwriters: Dow Smith, Finlay Graham; Fortis, John Frederik; Goulding, Ellie;]

Every time you go
Every time you go

It starts with a picture
And it sits in your frame
And we part with a letter
And it ends in my name

It starts with forever
And it ends with a touch
And I know that you're clever
And I don't ask for much

Maybe we forgot all the things we are
We are together

You said I'm arresting
You said I had heat
I really thought that we'd go further
The second time we'd meet

Now I'm tired of trying to keep you
All I want to do is sleep
And perhaps when I'm sleeping
You'll get back on your feet

Maybe we forgot all the things we are
We are together

Wake me up
Wake me up
Stop my fall
Every time you go

Tape me up
Then break me up
Ever so gently
When I'm at my weakest

It's not so hard
Every time you go

I run a mount to meet you

When I knew a storm had come
I felt the rain on your face
And the damage you had done

I know what you're thinking
It will never be the end
And when the storm is over
You won't see me again

Didn't know the price I paid for all the times I stayed
When we were together

Wake me up
Wake me up
Stop my fall
Every time you go

Tape me up
Then break me up
Ever so gently
When I'm my weakest

It's not so hard

Maybe we forgot, are we awake or not?
Maybe we forgot, are we awake or not?
Maybe we forgot, are we awake or not?
Or maybe we forgot

Wake me up
Wake me up
Stop my fall
Every time you go

Tape me up
Then break me up
Ever so gently
When I'm at my weakest

Wake me up
Wake me up
Stop my fall
Every time you go

Tape me up
Then break me up
Ever so gently
When I'm at my weakest

It's not so hard
Every time you go

3. BELIEVE ME



Listen, I can hear a voice,
I need a helping hand,
just to beat the void.
I need a mission,
a dream to stop me talking to myself
and now the silence is broken,
and my soul is to sell
I need to pick up the pieces
to scatter to the wind
Hold the city to your ears
you can hear the wind come in

But you change the world with a
sound and you can't make it right when it's
wrong

I can't stop this music traveling round with
me wherever I go, it's playing for you.
I can't stop this voice unraveling round
me whatever I do. It's talking to you
The world dances to the rhythm of its own
heart beating for you, however you lose
So speak to me - believe me.

Don't let it slip, through your fingertips.
When there's a ghost,
don't try to reason with it
Because now I'm tired, I'm weird,
so I won't miss a think.
I rope my words out to dry
and I've forgotten what to sing
But you can't change the world
with a song and you can't make it right
when it's wrong

If that's what it was to you,
then that's what it was to me.


VIDEO


4. WISH I STAYED


[Songwriters: Goulding, Ellie;]

Why can't we speak another language
One we all agree on?
Why when men look outside, they see houses
Instead of the fields they grew from?

We are constantly uprooted from them
Making us tiresome and fearful
Can you get up right now
Endeavor to free fall?

'Cause you can fall if you want to
It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured our hometown
You've forgotten where you are

And it will stay with you
Till your mind's been found
And it has been found wandering around

With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope

It's just the simple ways of getting paid
The carelessness of running away
I wish I stayed, I wish I stayed, I wish I stayed

Patterns all arranged in my background
Pillars and posts keeping this country on form
Letters were all sent with no addresses
So that people can't discover
That we're always under cover

Why do I always draw triangles
Instead of words this paper deserves?
'Cause you see, I don't own my clothes but I own my mind
And it's not what you've lost but it's what you find

With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope

It's the simple ways of getting paid
The carelessness of running away
I wish I stayed, I wish I stayed

'Cause you can fall if you want to
It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured our hometown
You've forgotten where you are

And it will stay with you
Till your mind's been found
And it has been found wandering around

With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope

It's just the simple ways of getting paid
The carelessness of running away
I wish I stayed, I wish I stayed, I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed, I wish I stayed

5. THIS LOVE WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL


Who are we to be emotional?
Who are we to play with hearts and throw away it all?
Oh, who are we to turn each other's heads?
Who are we to find ourselves in other people's beds?

Oh, I don't like the way I never listen to myself
I feel like I'm on fire and I'm trying to cry for help
Oh, I don't think you owe me much at all

This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall

I'm feeling down about this love

Who are you to make me feel so good?
Who are we to tell ourselves that we're misunderstood?
Oh, who am I to say I'm always yours?
]
Who am I to choose the boy that everyone adores?
Oh, I don't see a reason why we can't just be apart
We're falling on each other like we're always in the dark
Oh, I don't think you know me much at all, at all

This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
(At all)

This love is not what you want
This heart will never be yours
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall

6. LITTLE DREAMS


If a plane crashed into my room
I wouldn't even flinch, I couldn't try to
move. My mind is on you, my mind is on
you

If the streetlight smashed above me
I wouldn't move an inch. Turn the glass
into stars and your face is the moon
And the night turns to you, cos my mind is
on you

You've got me caught in a place
Panic for a minute, got my brain in a
daze, I wish you weren't in it, there are so
many ways to lose your attention.
You can break everything but so what I
can take anything, I can take anything,
I can take anything

If electric charges shock me, I'd smile
and fold my arms, I'd feel nothing new,

because my mind is on you

And if the floor gave way to my shoes,
I wouldn't try to fly, I can't explain what it
would feel, I just feel you

You've get me caught in a place
Panic for a minute, got my brain in a
daze I wish you weren't in it, there are
so many ways to lose your attention.
You can break everything but so what?
I can take anything

You're the heat in my bones, but you
break me with stones. You're the heat in
my bones, but you break me with stones
If a plane crashed into my room
I wouldn't even flinch, I couldn't try to
move. My mind is on you, my mind is on
you

7. FIGHTER PLANES


Stones falling down
Rollercoaster, heart pound?
Fears overplayed...
Two left feet emergency.

Wide open space
Catch my tail,
Fishing net.
Fold up my frown
Take the rage
And smooth it out.

Stick to my skin,
Paper mache face to live in.
Same view to paint,
Watercolour your name

Face your mistakes
(You will never have to feel that way again)
Oil your chains, under rate.
(You will never have to feel that way again)
Read every page,
Press the dents (of my) fighter plane

I held the fort, and I swung my sword I have muted the screams I have broken the falls oh I have fought, and I swung my sword I have muted the screams I have broken the falls

Fighter Plane
Fly away!

8. THE END


We've only ever kissed lying down
We've only ever touched
When there's no one else around
I can be elusive
If you want me to
I'm not being intrusive
I just wish I knew the truth

As to why
I wait for you
Longer than the average person would
And why
I think about you
More than I think one should

Our bodies fit together
Like a make-shift puzzle
And it's clear to see why you puzzle me
And you turn your frame
And you whisper my name
As though I am a burden

Cause I'm making up for lost time
And I'm making up for you
And I'm waking up from last night
And I'm waking up with you
So what's new?
So what's new?

I am at your house
So I belong to you for now
Trying to impress you
But lord I don't know how
I can be a statue
If you want me to
I'm not being difficult
I just need to know the truth

As to why
I'm wanting you
And I would take you if I could
And why I'm still (lay?) here
It's something I still haven't understood

Our hands rest together
Like pieces of paper
But they're always blank
When I hold your hand
And it gave you a fright
When I stayed the night
And you gave yourself to me

Cause I'm making up for lost time
And I'm making up for you
And I'm waking up from last night
And I'm waking up with you
So what's new?
So what's new?

It's not the end
It's not the end
So don't lets pretend

Cause I'm making up for lost time
And I'm making up for you
And I'm waking up from last night
And I'm making up for you
So what's new?
So what's new?
So what's new?

9. YOUR SONG

l
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a girl who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

MARTINA MCBRIDE: SAFE IN THE HANDS OF LOVE [10]

Martina McBride (born Martina Mariea Schiff on July 29, 1966, in Sharon, Kansas) is an American country music singer and songwriter. McBride has been called the "Céline Dion of Country Music" for her big-voiced ballads and soprano range.

McBride was signed to RCA Records in 1991 and made her debut the following year as a neo-traditionalist country singer with the single, "The Time Has Come."[2] It was not until 1997, when she released her fourth album, Evolution, that she broke through into the country music industry with a new pop-styled crossover sound, similar to that of Faith Hill and Shania Twain. From that point on, McBride has had a string of major hit singles on the Billboard country chart and occasionally on the adult contemporary chart. Five of these singles went to #1 on the country chart between 1995 and 2001, and one peaked at #1 on the adult contemporary chart in 2003.

McBride has recorded a total of nine studio albums, one "greatest hits" compilation, one "live" album, a "Christmas" compilation, as well as two additional compilation albums. Seven of her studio albums and two of her compilations have received an RIAA certification of "Gold", or higher. Worldwide, she has sold over 18 million albums. In addition, Martina has won the Country Music Association's "Female Vocalist of the Year" award four times (tied with Reba McEntire for the most wins) and the Academy of Country Music's "Top Female Vocalist" award three times. In her 19 year career she has accomplished many things including being named 2007's Top Grossing Country Artist of the year, and the over all Top Grossing Female in 2007 behind only Gwen Stefani.

1. HERE IN MY HEART

Wondering, waiting
Restless for a sign
I thought you walked so slow
In my haste I left you behind
Caught in the pace of this madness
Searching for shelter I find

That here in my heart there's a refuge waiting
Here in my heart you just won't let me go
I could run away run away
But you stay here in my heart

Meaning, purpose
Got lost in pursuit of my dreams
I've been longing, aching
In quest for a love that's supreme
I couldn't see you were reaching
But I should've known all along

That here in my heart there's a refuge waiting
Here in my heart you just won't let me go
I could run away run away
But you stay here in my heart
There's a refuge waiting
Here in my heart you just won't let me go


I could run away run away
But you stay here in my heart

I couldn't see you were reaching
But I should've known all along

That here in my heart there's a refuge waiting
Here in my heart you just won't let me go
I could run away run away
But you stay here in my heart
There's a refuge waiting
Here in my heart you just won't let me go
I could run away run away
I could run away run away
I could run away run away
But you stay here in my heart
(Here in my heart) Here in my heart
(Here in my heart) Here in my heart
(Here in my heart) Here in my heart
(Here in my heart) Here in my heart
(Here in my heart)
(Here in my heart)

2. TO DAY I STARTED LOVING YOU AGAIN



[Chorus:]
Today I started loving you again

I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried

I guess I should have known the worst was yet to come
And the crying time for me had just begun

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

Today I started loving you again

Today I started loving you
Today I started loving you again

3. WHAT CHILD IS THIS



What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own Him,
The King of kings, salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

4. I JUST CALLED YOU MINE


[Songwriters: Cates, Jess Clayton; Lacy, Ty; Matkosky, Dennis;]

I pinch myself sometimes to make sure
I'm not in a dream, that's how it seems
I close my eyes and breathe in the sweetest moments
I've ever known, it feels like home

And here I am, I wanna be your everything
There you are turning winter into spring

And everyone that sees you always wants to know you
And everyone that knows you always has a smile
You're a standing ovation after years of waiting
For a chance to fall and shine
Everyone calls you amazing yeah, I just call you mine

I fall apart and just a word from you somehow seems to fix
Whatever's wrong, oh, you reach into the weakest moments
And remind me that I'm strong, you've gotta know
I'd be a fool not to see or even worse

To forget that you're more than I deserved

'Cause everyone that sees you always wants to know you
And everyone that knows you always has a smile
You're a standing ovation after years of waiting
For a chance to fall and shine
Everyone calls you amazing, I just call you mine

Nothing makes sense when you're not here
As it my whole world disappears
Without you what's the point of anything?

'Cause everyone that sees you always wants to know you
And everyone that knows you always has a smile
You're the dream that I've been chasing after years of waiting
For a chance to fall and shine
Everyone calls you amazing, I just call you mine
Everyone calls you amazing, yeah, yeah, I just call you mine

5. TRUE LOVE WAYS



Just you know why - why you and I
will by and by - know true love ways

Sometimes we'll sigh - sometimes we'll cry
and we'll know why just you and I know true love ways

Throughout the days our true love ways
will bring us joys to share with those who really care

Sometimes we'll sigh - sometimes we'll cry
and we'll know why just you and I know true love ways.

6. I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU


I can't stop loving you
So I've made up my mind
To live in memory
Of such an old lonesome time

I can't stop wanting you
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday.


Those happy hours
That we once knew
Though long ago,
They still make me blue

They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart.

7. I'M TRYING

[Songwriters: Scott, Darrell; Sillers, Tia;]

She said, I'm not pointing fingers and he said, yes you are
'Cause you wouldn't bring it up if you weren't
And if I told you I'd been walking out in the dark night thinking
Would you take his truth as alcoholic's word?

Oh, I can't change what's done is done but I can tell you this
Not a day goes by that I don't curse myself and all my sins
And I need you to hold on to while this part of me is dying
Though I haven't kicked the demons that haunt me

I'm trying, I'm trying

She sat down on the floor and said, I wish I was stronger
Right now I feel as fragile as glass
And I want to believe you, believe what's held you, has freed you
And I hate these doubts that keep on coming back


My parents think I'm crazy for hanging on this long
But there's nothing I want more for us than to prove to them they're wrong
And I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna think you're lying
And though I haven't found the faith, that I need

I'm trying, I'm trying

He asked, do you want me to leave? 'Cause if you do, you know I will
But she said, much to his disbelief, no, I love you still, oh, I love you still

He said, I don't know why I've been the fool but I can tell you this
Not a day goes by that I don't curse myself and all my sins
Then he dropped down to his knees, by now they both were crying
He said, I haven't been the man I wanna be

But, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying

8. LOVE'S GONNA LIVE HERE AGAIN

Oh the sun's gonna shine in my life
once more love's gonna live here again
Things're gonna be the way they were before
love's gonna live here again
Love's gonna live here love's gonna live here
love's gonna live here again
No more loneliness only happiness
love's gonna live here again

[guitar]
I hear bells're ringin' birds're singin'
love's gonna live here again
And I hear bees a hummin' well
I know the days're comin'
love's gonna live here again
Love's gonna live here...

9. SAFE IN THE HANDS OF LOVE


My heart's not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of livin' solitaire
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love

Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high-wire act I know
Someday I'll find a net below

Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me

Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want a heart to be forever mine
Want eyes to see me satisfied
Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry
Some day I'm gonna be safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

10. ANYWAY


Songwriters: Mcbride, Martina; Warren, Brett; Warren, Brad;

You can spend your whole life building
Something from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream that seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy and it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today

Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
In a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway

God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah, I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singing a song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah, sing it anyway

I sing, I dream
I love
Anyway
