1.Diamonds And Tears
Spent my life looking for
Happiness like it was
Buried treasure
Somewhere behind a secret door
Surely there were riches
Beyond measure
I would take my sanity to task
Walk across broken glass to find it
And no mountain top was left unclimbed
Before i ever took the time to look
Inside me
These dreams of mine
These precious years
Oh how they shine
Like diamonds and tears
The slow grace of time
The joy and the fears
Oh how they shine
Like diamonds and tears
Oh sure there was love
And of course i thought he'd be my salvation
And in a way i guess he was
There's always room for higher education
Yes,i have said and heard the word goodbye
Felt the blade and turned the knife-sideways
But i'd cross bridges while they burn
To keep from losin' what i've learned -along the way

2.Hey Cinderella
(suzy bogguss／matraca berg／gary harrison)
We believed in fairy tales that day
I watched your father give you away
Your aim was true when the pink bouquet
Fell right into my hands
We danced for hours and we drank champagne
You screamed and laughed when i got up and sang
And then you rode away in a white mustang
To your castle in the sand
Through the years and the kids and the jobs
And the dreams that lost their way
Do you ever stop and wonder
Do you ever just wanna say
Hey hey, cinderella, what's the story all about
I got a funny feeling we missed a page or two somehow
Ohh-ohhhh, cinderella, maybe you could help us out
Does the shoe fit you now
We're older but no more the wise
We've learned the art of compromise
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
And sometimes we just break down
We're good now 'cause we have to be
Come to terms with our vanity
Sometimes we still curse gravity
When no one is around
Yeah, our dolls gather dust in the corner of the attic
And bicycles rust in the rain
Still we walk in that fabled shadow
Sometimes we call her name
Hey hey, cinderella, what's the story all about
I got a funny feeling we missed a page or two somehow
Ohh-ohhhh, cinderella, maybe you could help us out
Does the shoe fit you now
Hey! cinderella, maybe you could help us out
Does the shoe fit you now
Fit you now, ohh-ohhhh, cinderella (cinderella) does it fit you
now？
Cinderella (cinderella) ohh-ohhh-ohhhh cinderella (cinderella)
Hey cinderella (cinderella)
3.I Keep Coming Back To You
(beth nielson chapman／bill lloyd)
Seems like after all we've been through, we would've learned by
now
Never to fight for who gets the last word, it doesn't matter
anyhow
But round and round we go in circles, trying to work things
through
Sometimes it feels like miles between us, but i keep comin' back
to you
And it's rough, and it's tough, and it's harder than anything
i've ever tried to do
But i love you so much that in spite of the struggle
I keep comin' back to you
Hold me now, just think about this room that we've shared so
long
We've studied the map of cracks in the ceiling, talking till the
break of dawn
Oh, there is something strong as history, telling me this love
is true
It says, follow your heart, and you'll be happy, so i keep
comin' back to you
And it's rough, and it's tough, and it's harder than anything
i've ever tried to do
But i love you so much that in spite of the struggle
I keep comin' back to you
And it's rough, and it's tough, and it's harder than anything
i've ever tried to do
But i love you so much that in spite of the struggle
I keep comin' back to you
4.Just Like The Weather
(suzy bogguss／doug crider)
The wind is blowing from a new direction
You're thinking 'bout going, i know
It's been a long season, and hard on our affections
But that's no reason to let go
You change just like the weather
But the weather you know will always change
If you stay it'll get better
Wherever you go, it's bound to rain
So put on your jacket and stand your ground
Love's gonna have its highs and lows
If we turn and face it, the wind will come around
You don't have to chase it when it blows
You change just like the weather
But the weather you know will always change
If you stay it'll get better
Wherever you go, it's bound to rain
You change just like the weather
But the weather you know will always change
If you stay it'll get better
Wherever you go, it's bound to rain
You change just like the weather
5.No Green Eyes
(suzy bogguss／pat bunch／doug crider)
In my heart there always crept a jealousy that never slept
It lived on calls that never came, and whispers of another's
name
But your love is a light that shines so honestly
And now because of your true colors i can see
No green eyes, no blue nights
No jealous heart and no little white lies
You showed me what love looks like
I had the colors all wrong, now they're right
No green eyes, no blue nights
Your arms laid to rest the fear, and let suspicion disappear
There are no ghosts of lovers past, just our love in the
hourglass
And what you give me is so constant and so surely mine
That i can trust it's unconditional this time
No green eyes, no blue nights
No jealous heart and no little white lies
You showed me what love looks like
I had the colors all wrong, now they're right
No green eyes, no blue nights
You showed me what love looks like
No green eyes, no blue nights, no green eyes
6.Something Up My Sleeve
I can't go on, the feelin's gone,
I don't know where
I reach down deep inside my heart,there's nothing there
I know i can't stay with him,
Still i don't want to leave
I wish i had something up my sleeve
I can't give in,and i can't win
'cause she won't fight
She tells me there's nothing
Wrong but nothin's right
No matter what i offer,it's never what she needs
I wish i had something up my sleeve
____
I can't pretend
(she's sorry,i can tell)
I wish i could
(i know the feeling well)
It's just no good
It looks like the spell is broken
My magic words
(it's not working anymore)
My sleight of hand
(we've been through it all before)
My song and dance
If i can make it through the door,
It's over
,-(rc)
I wish i had the power to make us both
Believe
I wish i had something up my sleeve
I wish i had something up my sleeve
7.Souvenirs
I set out like kerouac in my
American car
Carryin' a dream and a
Road map
Deep in my american heart
But where's those mountain
Majesties
Where's those waves of grain
Billboards from sea to shining sea
Man it ain't the same
They got mount rushmore on a cup
Everybody needs one of those
For a dollar more more they'll fill it up
You can drink out of lincoln's nose
They got the hard rock t-shirts,
They got elvis,too
And sooner or later, mark my words
You know they're gonna get you
____
I've been searchin' for the promised land
But it's just another neon, come on
Roadside stand
Little tin toys that fall apart
That's all they got here
I come all this way to find my heart
All i get is souvenirs
Baby i believed in you,i
Thought you believed in me
I thought we had a love that's
True, not a close facsimile
Now i don't want your dimestore
Ring,turns my finger green
I don't want your dimestore love
I want the real thing
_(rc)
8.You'd Be The One
I didn't mean to get this close
It feels too right
And i'll think straighter
Tomorrow
If i don't hold you tonight
I realize it's time for me to go
But it seems only fair to let
You know
Of all the things i've wanted to
Do and never done
You'd be the one
And if you want to know how
Close i'd ever come
You'd be the one
Looking at it honestly
I guess i knew
I opened up this door
But i can't let you walk through
I have too much to lose if i fall
But if it means anything at all
(rc)
I wear this ring to tell the world
I love one man
But you and i almost got out
Of hand
(rc)
9.You Never Will
Suns comes creepin'
Chasin' away
Shadows of last night
You're still sleeping,i'm facing
The day
Things look so different in
The light
Someday you're gonna love me
I'll see it in your eyes
When i held you in the darkness
I could believe those lies
Now the sun is up it's morning
And you don't love me still
It finally dawned on me,you
Never will
Look at you,how real it all
Seems
I still feel your touch
But i'm through believin'
This dream
I guess i'm finally wakin' up
(rc)
Hold on you said hold on
But there's no use in crying when
It's done
Another day has just begun
Now the sun is up,it's morning
And you don't love me still
It finally dawned on me,you
Never will
10.You Wouldn't Say That To A Stranger
(pat bunch／doug crider)
I don't know why we act like that
You hurt me, i only hurt you back
I can't believe how carelessly we say those things
That put our love in danger
You wouldn't say that to a stranger we hurt the ones we love
When we say those words in anger, do we ever make it up
We say what we don't mean and then we say we're sorry later
But you wouldn't say that to a stranger
Last night there was over in the air
Today it's gone just like it was never there
And i don't know where those hateful words come from
It goes against our nature
You wouldn't say that to a stranger we hurt the ones we love
When we say those words in anger, do we ever make it up
We say what we don't mean and then we say we're sorry later
But you wouldn't say that to a stranger
Let's pretend that we just met
And we said nothing we regret
We say what we don't mean and then we say we're sorry later
But you wouldn't say that to a stranger
