1.20 Million Things

(lowell george, j. levy)

If it's fix a fence, fender dents
I've got lots of experience
Rent gets spent
And all the letters never written don't get sent
It comes from confusion, all things i left undone
It comes from moment to moment, day to day
Time seems to slip away

But i've got twenty million things to do, twenty million things
And all i can do, is think about you
With twenty million things to do

I've got mysterious wisteria hanging in the air
The rocking chair i was supposed to fix
Well it came undid
And all the things that i let slip, i found out quick
It comes from moment to moment, day to day
Time seems to slip away

But i've got twenty million things to do, twenty million things
And all i can do, is think about you
With twenty million things to do

And all i can do, is think about you
With twenty million things to do


2.An Empty Heart And A Harvest Moon

(doug crider/matt rollings)

Standing in the back yard where our love used to grow
Big september moons above
Your garden needs a little tenderness i know
Bad time to be out of love
I can smell the pine breeze off the river tonight
I can hang a wish on the evening star
It's just the way you left it here but something's not right
Can you feel it where you are

River of hope is running shallow
Gonna need some rain here pretty soon
My field of dreams is lying fallow
You've got a brand new start with a love in bloom
I've got an empty heart and a harvest moon

It's just the kind of moon that used to follow us back then
I guess you're over that for good
It's not that i believe at all you're coming back again
It's just the kind of night to wish you would

River of hope is running shallow
Gonna need some rain here pretty soon
My field of dreams is lying fallow
You've got a brand new start with a love in bloom
I've got an empty heart and a harvest moon

Sky open up on these plains, fill up this stream
I want to stand in the rain till i'm clean

River of hope is running shallow
Gonna need some rain here pretty soon
My field of dreams is lying fallow
You've got a brand new start with a love in bloom
I've got an empty heart and a harvest moon


3.Goodnight

(charlie black/dana hunt)

Missed you at your daddy's place.
Missed you at your uncle's place.
Drove down to your sister's and she said that i missed you by a
day.
Me and what went wrong headed south.
Tryin' to track you down.
Wherever i checked darlin' you'd already checked out.
I'm no closer to you than i was the day you left.
Parked out here under the moon, dyin' to give it a rest.

So goodnight raleigh, goodnight durham.
Goodnight atlanta and macon and jacksonville.
Live from high atop the hood of my car.
I'm signing off, sweet dreams baby, wherever you are

One day i'll catch up to you.
Tell you what i've been through.
One day it won't be your voice mail i'm talking to.
You won't have to say all that much.
Just tell me where we lost touch.
And if there's a chance of some new version of the way it was.
You've got my number you pick the time, pick the town.
You're out there somewhere, it's your move now.

So goodnight raleigh, goodnight durham.
Goodnight atlanta and macon and jacksonville.
Live from high atop the hood of my car.
I'm signing off, sweet dreams baby, wherever you are

Live from high atop the hood of my car.
I'm signing off, sweet dreams baby, wherever you are.


4.Hammer And Nail

(suzy bogguss/gary scruggs)

Nail and hammer, hammer and nail
I need a lifeboat that's set to sail
Across this ocean of tears i've cried
The time has come to turn the tire

Thread and needle, needle and thread
I need a sail made of crimson red
I wanna be seen from miles away
I'm lost at sea and i wanna be saved

Blow wind blow and set me free
A storm called love made a wreck of me
I'm tossed and turned, i'm in the dark
All my dreams lie torn apart
At the bottom of my deep blue heart

Pen and paper, paper and pen
I need a bottle to put a message in
And i hope it won't sink to the ocean floor
I'm still a far cry from the shore

Blow wind blow and set me free
A storm called love made a wreck of me
I'm tossed and turned, i'm in the dark
All my dreams lie torn apart
At the bottom of my deep blue heart


5.Hold Me To It

(suzy bogguss/doug crider)

I believe that love is real
I believe it's how you feel when you touch my hand
When you hold me tight
But can i really fall asleep
Is this a promise we can keep and know it'll feel the same
In the morning light

Careless words only fade away
They don't mean what they say
I won't do it
You can have this promise, we'll never be apart
Take it to your heart
And hold me to it

Turn the light on look around
A hundred years from now everything we know
Could fade from sight
But love can last that long
If we build it slow and strong, standing on the promise
That we make tonight

Careless words only fade away
They don't mean what they say
I won't do it
You can have this promise, we'll never be apart
Take it to your heart
And hold me to it

Take it to you heart and hold me to it


6.It's A Perfect Day(For A Little Rain)

(carolyn dawn johnson)

It's a perfect day for a little rain
The water's cryin' down my windowpane
Just like a little girl, the thunder makes me feel afraid
The trees are dancing in the gypsy wind
Guess they don't know yet that i lost my best friend
I can't believe that i'll never hold you in my arms again
I know we said that this was right
But how'm i supposed to make it through another lonely night

When my heart just wants to hold on to you
And my heart just can't believe that this is true
Maybe i can convince my mind, but it's my heart

It's only saturday and i feel so alone
We let go yesterday on the telephone
I guess it's time i learn to make it on my own
I know we said that this was right
But how'm i supposed to make it through another lonely night

When my heart just wants to hold on to you
And my heart just can't believe that this is true
Maybe i can convince my mind, but it's my heart

It's a perfect day for a little rain
I'm sure the sun will shine on another day


7.Look What Love Has Done To Me

(rob mathes/stephanie lewis)

Where once the moon was just a rock spinning in the sky
Where once the stars were only tiny points of light
Now the moon looks like it's heaven's shining pearl
Now those stars, they look like windows into another world

Look what love has done to me, look what love has done
There's poetry in all i see, look what love has done
And my heart is dancing through each day
My soul is running free
Look what love has done to me

Where once each breath was just a sign of aching emptiness
Where once i hardly felt the beating in my chest
Now each breath feels like a precious kiss of life
Now inside me beats the winds of a thousand butterflies

Look what love has done to me, look what love has done
This must be how it's mean to be, look what love has done
And my heart is dancing through each day
My soul is running free
Look what love has done to me

And i can't tell was that a violin, or did you say something
Was that lightning striking where i stand
Or did you just reach out and take my hand

Look what love has done to me, look what love has done
There's poetry in all i see, look what love has done
And my heart is dancing through each day
My soul is running free
Look what love has done to me


8.Love Every Time

(tony arata)

I don't listen to the politicians
I don't believe in any superstitions
But i will fall for love every time

I don't heed the weatherman's predictions
I even doubt some of my own convictions
But i will fall for love every time

I ain't the one who chases
All the latest rages
I reserve my lack of any reservation
For nothing but the lure of
The one thing in life you sure can't be sure of
I don't gamble too many hits and misses
Don't waste my money on wishing well wishes
But i will fall for love every time

I ain't the one who chases
All the latest rages
I reserve my lack of any reservation
For nothing but the lure of
The one thing in life you sure can't be sure of
I don't gamble too many hits and misses
Don't waste my money on wishing well wishes
But i will fall for love every time


9.Love Is Blind

(doug crider)

Everybody thinks that they know us
They say that we're bound for a fall
Everybody thinks they can show us
Like some chart on a wall
But they don't know the way that it's growing in us
They don't know nothing at all

Love is blind, i don't need my eyes
Every last detail i can touch, i read braille
Love is deaf, all i need to know is at my finger tips
Kiss me now, i read lips

Anywhere that you're leading
That's where i belong
If we just trust in feeling
I know we'll never go wrong
I don't need to see to believe it
I just feel my way along

Love is blind, i don't need my eyes
Every last detail i can touch, i read braille
Love is deaf, all i need to know is at my finger tips
Kiss me now, i read lips

When it's dark out you see me through
Gonna close my eyes, gonna hold on to you

Love is blind, i don't need my eyes
Every last detail i can touch, i read braille
Love is deaf, all i need to know is at my finger tips
Kiss me now, i read lips
Kiss me now, i read lips


10.Love Is Stronger

(tony arata)

I'm alive and well
Just in case you're wondering
When heavy weather thunders at your window pane
The last time i fell
I broke down to nothing
Come to find out something had remained

You know that i believe i should be good as gone
But still i stay just a little bit longer
The only reason why i am holding on
The hurt was strong, so strong
But love is stronger

For the longest time
I all but gave up
My mind was made up i had tried my last
But your hand in mine
What a sweet reminder
Why love puts blinders on the heartaches of the past

You know that i believe i should be good as gone
But still i stay just a little bit longer
The only reason why i am holding on
The hurt was strong, so strong
But love is stronger

....than our will to run
Finds the will to stay in everyone

You know that i believe i should be good as gone
But still i stay just a little bit longer
The only reason why i am holding on
The hurt was strong, so strong
But love is stronger


11.No Place To Go

(suzy bogguss/doug crider)

I go through my closet, there's nothing in there
And there's no place to wear it so what do i care
But there's one dress in plastic, daring and shear
And i wonder how we got hung up here
I'm going someplace to ease my mind
Wide open with space, i gotta to find

No place in particular
It's out there i know
Gonna pack all my dresses up
Got no place to go

There's a face in the mirror i recognize
But i remember it clearer and smoother around the eyes
But i don't need makeup to cover my tracks
I just need to wake up someplace, new and never look back
Sky, gray, open up and turn to blue
Highway wish me luck, lead me to

No place in particular
It's out there i know
Gonna pack all my dresses up
Got no place to go

No place in particular
It's out there i know
Gonna pack all my dresses up
Got no place to go


12.Taking That Red-eye Home

(suzy bogguss/doug crider)

Half empty airport, plane's at the gate
They tell her it's full, she says she'll wait
She's been here all evening sitting all alone
Watching the business men talk on the phone
She fixes her make up, cleans out her purse

Leaving is hard, but staying is worse
Just for a moment it crosses her mind
She could go back, no not this time

It's almost midnight, and they just called her name
She's on that last flight, now nothing's the same
Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own
She's all through crying, now she's flying
Taking that red-eye home

Sitting in smoking, but she doesn't smoke
A traveling salesman tells her a joke
She just stares out the window as they're packing that jet
Not quite sad, but she's not laughing yet

It's almost midnight, and they just called her name
She's on that last flight, now nothing's the same
Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own
She's all through crying, now she's flying
Taking that red-eye home

It's just eleven fifty-four but it's a new day
They're starting to board, she's flying away

It's almost midnight, and they just called her name
She's on that last flight, now nothing's the same
Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own
She's all through crying, now she's flying
Taking that red-eye home

She's all through crying, she's flying
Taking that red-eye home
