1.This Can't Be Love
(mark nesler／tony martin)
Wouldn't wanna go calling this love
That word isn't close enough
To describe what we've got here
My heart is still in one piece
I can eat and i can sleep
I haven't cried one single tear
I never lost my freedom
And i'm too secure to be afraid
This can't be love you're giving me
It feels too good, comes so easy
It's gettin' stronger every day
Like it's never gonna fade away
This can't be love i feel for you
It's nothing like what i've been through
It's gotta be something new
This just can't be love
Every love i knew up until now
Picked me up just to let me down
I've been every shade of blue
I never quite felt sure inside
A little nervous and a little tongue tied
But i can always talk to you
Look at us we're still together
Love's never taken me this far
This can't be love you're giving me
It feels too good, comes so easy
It's gettin' stronger every day
Like it's never gonna fade away
This can't be love i feel for you
It's nothing like what i've been through
It's gotta be something new
This just can't be love
2.Rich Man
(d. vincent williams／rory lee)
A man is measured these days
By the money he's got
Not sure when it started happening
But that's not the way it's supposed to be i thought
Or maybe i'm a bit old fashioned
'cause i just wanna
Live my life, raise my kids
Love my wife like my dad did
I may never be a millionaire
But i've got more than enough
I'm a rich man, rich in love
Yeah, a little more money
Lord wouldn't it be sweet
Heaven knows that it could change things
But there's food on out table
And shoes on our feet
So i don't waste my time complaining
I'm just gonna
Live my life, raise my kids
Love my wife like my dad did
I may never be a millionaire
But i've got more than enough
I'm a rich man, rich in love
Live my life, raise my kids
Love my wife like my dad did
I may never be a millionaire
But i've got more than enough
I'm a rich man, rich in love
I'm a rich man, rich in love.
3.The Perfect Conversation
(billy kirsch)
In the perfect conversation we're standing at the station
And you're begging me, 'please don't go'
You say, 'the only thing that matters in this world
Is that we need each other so'
In theperfect conversation without any hesitation
I tell you, i was wrong
I say, 'girl, you know sometimes my faith is weak
And my pride is much too strong'
In this perfect conversation here in my imagination
Somehow i know just when to say what's right
And i know just what i'm losing
Before this train i'm on starts moving
And i'm running though the door to hold you tight
The perfect conversation always ends
Before we say goodbye
All that i can hear now, so loud and so clear now
Are the words i could not seem to find
Everything i didn't say keeps coming back
One mile at a time
In this perfect conversation here in my imagination
Somehow i know just when to say what's right
And i know i'll never leave you
'cause i know how much i need you
And i tell you that i love you just in time
The perfect conversation always ends
Before we say goodbye
The perfect conversation always ends
Before we say goodbye
4.Still Waiting
(harley allen)
He should have been out playin'
But he sat on his front step
All day he's just been there waiting
And nobody's showed up yet
His dad said he'd come get him
Bright and early sunday morn
But his mom knows he's forgotten
Like he has since he was born, but. . .
He's still waiting, he's still waiting
He might be around the corner
Or just right down the street
He's still waiting, he's still waiting
He tells his mom, ' don't worry,
This time he'll come get me'
He's still waiting
Group home in kentucky
She's been there for a while
They tell her that she's lucky
She's such a pretty child
Somebody's gonna take you
And raise you as their own
She never knew her parents
And she's never had a home, but . . .
She's still waiting, she's still waiting
They might be around the corner
Or just right down the street
She's still waiting, she's still waiting
She tells 'em, 'i don't worry,
Someone will come for me'
She's still waiting
They're children of the needle
The bottle and the poor
The sum of broken people
Who can't go on no more
Sad eyes and dirty faces
City streets and dirt roads
Their lives are slowly wasting
While everybody knows
They're still waiting, they're still waiting
All the little faces different races
Who don't know what love is
They're still waiting, they're still waiting
All the sones and daughters of missing fathers
Who never miss their kids
They're still waiting, they're still waiting, they're still
waiting
5.Because I Love You
(chuck cannon／skip ewing)
Because i love you
That's the reason why
'cause i love you
I'll reach up to the sky
Pull down a fairytale, a wishing well, a magic spell
And give them all to you
Because i love you
All i ever think about is
When i can touch you
'cause i can't live without
Your little sweet surprise, your hazel eyes, i'm hypnotized
And there's nothing i can do
Because i love you
I'll always be honestly, willingly, faithful and true
Because i love you
I'm hopelessly, endlessly
Yours, heart and soulfully
And i devotedly
Do it, 'cause i do it, 'cause i do it, 'cause i
Do it, 'cause i love you
Because i need you
Say you'll never go away
Because i want you
Every night and every day
Your little mystery, keeps kissing me, i'm history
And there's nothing i can do
Because i love you
I'll always be honestly, willingly, faithful and true
Because i love you
I'm hopelessly, endlessly
Yours, heart and soulfully
And i devotedly
Do it, 'cause i do it, 'cause i do it, 'cause i
Do it, 'cause i love you
Because i love you
I'll always be honestly, willingly, faithful and true
Because i love you
I'm hopelessly, endlessly
Yours, heart and soulfully
And i devotedly
Do it, 'cause i do it, 'cause i do it, 'cause i
Do it, 'cause i love you
Because i love you
6.Right Here
(carson chamberlain／billy simon／randy boudreaux)
I love the way you feel right next to me
Your touch is way beyond my wildest dreams
You could be a million miles away
But the love i have for you will always stay
Right here - in the center of my soul
All i'll ever long to hold
I'm holding now
Right here - feel the passion in my kiss
All i'll ever long to give, i give to you
Right now, right here
My love for you goes way beyond the heart
You and i will never be apart
On this earth and through eternity
I want you to know, you'll always be
Right here - in the center of my soul
All i'll ever long to hold
I'm holding now
Right here - feel the passion in my kiss
All i'll ever long to give, i give to you
Right now, right here
I'll keep every dream, your every hope, your every fear
Every kiss, every smile, and even every tear
Right here - in the center of my soul
All i'll ever long to hold
I'm holding now
Right here - feel the passion in my kiss
All i'll ever long to give, i give to you
Right now, right here
7.Time Machine
(tim mensy／monty criswell／tony martin)
If i could invent a time machine
I'd go back and change a few things
I'd be there that cold and rainy night
To make sure patsy cline didn't fly
And i would divert a dallas parade
And for a little longer we'd have jfk
And on my way back from the past to the now
I would swing by and stop off at our house
And i wouldn't say what i said on the day you left me
What a better place this world would be
If i had a time machine
Don't know the danger or the consequence
I might create if i altered events
But take a look at this ol' world we've got
You'd have to admit it'd be worth a shot
One stop in new york and lennon still dreams
Two stops in memphis and long live two kings
And on my way back from the past to the now
I would swing by and stop off at our house
And i wouldn't say what i said on the day you left me
What a better place this world would be
If i had a time machine
What a better place this world would be
If i had a time machine
A time machine
8.Permanently
(steve bogard／josh keer)
I've got you under my skin
I feel you coursing through my veins
I don't know where to begin
To talk about somethin'
That's never gonna change
Don't have to tell my body to breathe
And i don't know how to tell you how much i believe that
You're a part of every heartbeat that keeps me alive
You're the best of the best of every dream in my life
I'll need you with me
Permanently
We ride this river of time
So many people drift away
But once in forever we find
A rock of all ages and a love that remains
And for me you are that one
My never-ending story has begun
You're a part of every heartbeat that keeps me alive
You're the best of the best of every dream in my life
I'll need you with me
Permanently
You're a part of every heartbeat that keeps me alive
You're the best of the best of every dream in my life
I'll need you with me
Permanently
9.Almost Doesn't Count
almost doesn't count
(shelly peiken／guy roche)
Almost made you love me
Almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, baby
Didn't i, didn't i
You almost had me thinkin'
You were turned around
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
Almost heard you saying
You were finally free
What was always missing for you, baby
You'd found it in me
But you can't get to heaven
Half off the ground
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
I can't keep lovin' you
One foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation
Of a heart that's never really sure
Can't keep on tryin'
If you're looking for more
Than all that i could give you
Than what you came here for
Gotta find somebody
Not afraid to let go
Want a no-doubt to be-there kind of girl
You came real close
But every time you built me up
You only let me down
And everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
I can't keep lovin' you
One foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation
Of a heart that's never really sure
Can't keep on tryin'
If you're looking for more
Than all that i could give you
Than what you came here for
Maybe you'll be sorry
Maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come runnin' back
From the cruel, cruel world
Almost convince me
You're gonna stick around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
Maybe i'll be here
Maybe i'll see ya 'round
That's the way it goes
Almost doesn't count
10.Forget About Love
(gary harrison／chip martin／jeff silver)
He said goodbye - you watched him turn and walk away
Before your eyes - there went the plans you made
His memory rolls down your cheek
In the shadows all alone
Girl take my hand, take one more chance
Let me turn the light back on('cause)
Nothing makes you forget about love like love
Makes you forget about, the one who let you down
It's over now, you've cried enough
Give me a little time
And in my arms you'll find
Nothing makes you forget about love like love
A human heart - sometimes can only take so much
Girl let me start - to pick the pieces up
Let's strike a match to the past
And we'll dance inside the flame
Once you feel a love this real
You won't recall his name ('cause)
Nothing makes you forget about love like love
Makes you forget about, the one who let you down
It's over now, you've cried enough
Give me a little time
And in my arms you'll find
Nothing makes you forget about love like love
I know it's hard to reach for someone else
But please close your eyes and trust your heart
And let love do the rest
Nothing makes you forget about love like love
Makes you forget about, the one who let you down
It's over now, you've cried enough
Give me a little time
And in my arms you'll find
Nothing makes you forget about love like love
Nothing makes you forget about love like love
11.In My Arms
(mark wills／monty criswell／michael white)
Three a.m. on the clock
Lullaby, music box
Oh, baby please don't cry
Let's let mama sleep tonight
You've only been home one day
You don't even know your name
Tiny hand on my cheek
You;re a miracle to me
In the still ness of the night
Cradled in this rocking chair
I hold all my hopes and dreams,
Every single answered prayer
In my arms
Wish i could hold you forever
In my arms
I will give you shelter
Still i know i can't always be there
To protect you from this great big old world
But i swear this much is true
There'll always be a place for you...in my arms
As i watch you take each breath
Oh, it scares me to death
To know you're counting on me
To be the daddy that you need
Wounded knees, broken hearts
Learning how to drive a car
When it's time for your first date
Will i know just what to say
And when you find that one true love
I'll put on my best smile
And i'll try to hide my tears
As i walk you down the aisle
In my arms
Wish i could hold you forever
In my arms
I will give you shelter
Still i know i can't always be there
To protect you from this great big old world
But i swear this much is true
There'll always be a place for you...in my arms
Oh, this promise i will keep
As you finally fall asleep...in my arms
12.Everything There Is To Know About You
(lewis anderson／bob regan)
What stations are the buttons on your radio on
Do you sleep late saturdays or get up at dawn
Do you prefer fiddles or violins
And have you given any thoughts to how a lifetime of love begins
I want to know everything there is to know
About what turns you on what you like and what you don't
Tell me all your secrets, all your hopes and wishes too
I want to be everything you ever want
So i'm gonna need something to go on
I mean to make your every dream come true
So i want to know everything there is to know about you
Do you like walking underneath the moonlight
Is there some kind of magic that'll make the moon right
How many kisses, how many stars
I'm determined to keep trying 'til i find the way to your heart
I want to know everything there is to know
About what turns you on what you like and what you don't
Tell me all your secrets, all your hopes and wishes too
I want to be everything you ever want
So i'm gonna need something to go on
I mean to make your every dream come true
So i want to know everything there is to know about you
The serious stuff and the light-hearted
I look in your eyes and i'm just getting started
I want to know everything there is to know
About what turns you on what you like and what you don't
Tell me all your secrets, all your hopes and wishes too
I want to be everything you ever want
So i'm gonna need something to go on
I mean to make your every dream come true
So i want to know everything there is to know about you
Well, i want to know everything there is to know about you
13.Back At One
(brian mcknight)
It's undeniable, that we should be together
It's unbelievable, how i used to say that i'd fall never
It's basis you need to know you know just how i feel
And let me show you now that i'm for real
If all things in time, time will reveal
One： you're like a dream come true
Two： just wanna be with you
Three： girl, it's plain to see that you're the only one for me
and
Four： repeat steps 1 thru 3
Five： make you fall in love with me
If ever i believe my work is done
Then i start back at one
It's so incredible the way things work themselves out
And unemotional once you know what it's all about
And undesirable for us to be apart
I never would have made it very far
'cause you know you hold the keys to me heart 'cause
One： you're like a dream come true
Two： just wanna be with you
Three： girl, it's plain to see that you're the only one for me
and
Four： repeat steps 1 thru 3
Five： make you fall in love with me
If ever i believe my work is done
Then i start back at one
Say farewell to the darkened night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life
Into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the lifeline just in the nick of time
One： you're like a dream come true
Two： just wanna be with you
Three： girl, it's plain to see that you're the only one for me
and
Four： repeat steps 1 thru 3
Five： make you fall in love with me
If ever i believe my work is done
Then i start back at one
One： you're like a dream come true
Two： just wanna be with you
Three： girl, it's plain to see that you're the only one for me
and
Four： repeat steps 1 thru 3
Five： make you fall in love with me
If ever i believe my work is done
Then i start back at one
