TRUE
Sweetly tell me that you love me more than any other girl
That you have ever loved before
And me, well I’ll wait patiently until you’re whispering to me
I’m who you’ve been waiting for
But only tell me if it’s true, true, true, I wanna hear it from you
But only tell me if it’s true, true, true, I wanna hear it from you
I don’t mind if you’re cliché, as long as you mean what you say
I don’t mind at all
Sing me a pretty lullaby, saying I’m the love of your life
Now and forevermore
But only tell me if it’s true, true, true, I wanna hear it from you
Hey only tell me if it’s true, true, true, I wanna hear it from you
So read me that poetry, only if you wrote it for me
And watch my favorite chick flick and tell me that you liked it
And you love me, and you’re half way to one knee, oh
But only tell me if it’s true, true, true, I wanna hear it from you
Hey, only tell me if it’s true, true, true, I wanna hear it from you
I wanna hear it from you, I wanna hear it only if it’s true
I WANNA GO HOME
Independent for a second, just a synonym for being all alone
When I got it, I didn’t want it; had to tough it out on my own
It was easy, not a bill in mind; ‘til I let go, I was ridin’ just fine
I never knew what a rookie I was ‘til I got my first ticket to my very first bus
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh – Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, I wanna go home
I wanna go home, I’m feelin’ alone, I wanna go home
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, I wanna go home
I wanna go home, wanna be on my own but I wanna go home
Had to grow up in a minute, yeah breakin’ away is a bittersweet thing
Had to do it, I’m getting’ through it, ‘cause real life ain’t no Disney dream
I never knew what a rookie I was ‘til I got my cell phone and my lights turned off
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh – Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, I wanna go home
I wanna go home, I’m feelin’ alone, I wanna go home
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, I wanna go home
I wanna go home, wanna be on my own but I wanna go home
And I find I’m looking back to the good ol’ days when life was simple
I’m happy where I’m at; I’m just trying to find an independent way to say
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, I wanna go home
I wanna go home, I’m feelin’ alone, I wanna go home
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, I wanna go home
I wanna go home, wanna be on my own but I wanna go home
I wanna go home
WHERE’S MY CLASSIC?
Spending countless hours soakin’ in Anne of Green Gables
Lets a heart run wild like Black Beauty out of his stable
Where’s my Romeo? What’s the name of my fable?
I’m Gone With the Wind, I got Great Expectations
Somethin’ like Huckleberry Finn in his grand exploration
He’ll be killin’ off the villains while I lay sick,
Just to be awakened by True Love’s Kiss
Something bold, something drastic
Where’s my classic? Do do do, whoa
With him, I’ll never be afraid of Wuthering Heights
Life will make perfect Sense & Sensibility with him by my side
There’s lots of pretty Little Women, alright
But I’m the one’ll be The Woman in White
Yes, I’m Gone With the Wind, I got Great Expectations
Something like Pride & Prejudice, the kind of deep in love sensation
He’ll be killin’ off the villains while I lay sick
Just to be awakened by True Love’s Kiss
Something bold, something drastic
Where’s my classic? Do do do, whoa
And he’ll send love Letters written in Scarlet,
And I’ll show them off to my dear friends, Wilbur & Charlotte
We’ll get hitched & watch the sunset out near Where The Red Fern Grows
With our little Hansel & Gretel, but that’s all way down the Yellow Brick Road
I’m Gone With the Wind, I got Great Expectations
Robin Hood & Maid Miriam, It’ll be just like the animations
I’m so Gone With the Wind, I got Great Expectations
Just like Wendy & Peter Pan in a type of Neverland destination
He’ll be killin’ off the villains while I lay sick
Just to be awakened by True Love’s Kiss
Something bold, somethin drastic
Where’s my classic? Do do do
Where’s my dream come true?
Where’s my classic? Do do do, bibbidi-bobbidi-boo
Where’s my classic?
RICH MAN’S WIFE
I just milked the cows today, fed all the chickens, gathered all their eggs
Another day’s work at the farm, sleepin’, eatin’, practically living in the barn
It’s a dandy life indeed, if you like that kind of thing
But I got a different dream, a far off fantasy
To be a rich man’s wife, I’d never have to work another day in my life
Never thinking twice, if I see it and I want it, then it’s mine, mine, mine
The limit is the sky, and Im’a ride them winds with style
Yeah, I would leave it all behind to be a rich man’s wife
Alarm, alarm. alright! I know, my life starts over with a rooster’s crow
Gotta plow a field, shuck the corn, got my overalls screaming, “I’m far past worn!”
Two dimes and a nickel ‘til three, and I still haven’t eaten anything
See, I could work my way out of poverty or simply take the pretty route of matrimony
Would it be worth it? Definitely!
To be a rich man’s wife, I’d never have to work another day in my life
Never thinking twice, no sir! If I see it and I want it, then it’s mine, mine, mine
The limit is the sky, and Im’a ride them winds with style
Yeah, I would leave it all behind to be a rich man’s wife
Oh sweet, sweet charity, I could donate half his money to thee
And I’d set all them farm girls free, all them poor old saps like me
I’ll make ‘em rich men’s wives, I’ll tell my hubby’s buddies that they’re all real nice
Girl, don’t think twice! If you see him and you want him, say, “He’s mine, mine, mine”
The limit is the sky, so go ride them winds with style; kiss the farm girl’s life goodbye
Go be a rich man’s wife!
I wanna be a rich man’s wife!
I’m gonna be a rich man’s wife!
Oh, to be a rich man’s wife!
Camille: Are you sayin’ you wanna marry for love or money?
Haley: Well, can’t I have both?
Camille: I suppose so, if I can too!
WISH I DIDN’T LIKE YOU (WIDLY)
I’ve never been so good at reading emotions
And you are my diary of questions
We’ve been friends for a while now, I’m scared to tell you
I don’t know if you feel the same way I do
I wish I didn’t like you so much; I wish that it could be just like it was
I wish that I could stare into your eyes and forget to blush
I wish I didn’t like you so much; I wish that I could take it back a notch
I wish that I could think about your smile without falling in love
I wish I didn’t like you – Oo oo oo, Oo oo oo, Oo oo oo
He’s thinking, girl, you’re beautiful
Wish I could tell you, don’t wanna lose you
I’ve liked the way things are, but things are changing
You’ve got me wishing for more
CHORUS
I think I know just what you feel
Please tell me my heart is pounding for something that’s real
I hope you’ll say you love me too
But until then, I’m gonna just pretend
That I wish I didn’t like you so much; I wish that we could be just like it was
I wish that I could stare into your eyes and forget to blush
I wish I didn’t like you so much; I wish that I could take it back a notch
I wish that I could think about your smile without falling in love
I wish I didn’t like you – Oo oo oo, Oo oo oo, Oo oo oo
I wish I didn’t like you
UKULELE LOVER
Since I’ve been playing ukulele, have you noticed
The sun’s been shining brighter lately
And the clouds lay low for me
And the flowers show for me
They like to hear my tunes
I like to watch them groove In harmony
And when I say hello They let their colors show Just for me
Since I’ve been playing ukulele
Since I’ve been playing ukulele, have you noticed
The spring’s been coming rather early
And the birds, they sing for me (tweet, tweet)
And the trees, they sway for me
CHORUS
Rain, shine, sleet, hail
Day, night, however I feel
I’m a U-K-U-L-E-L-E L-O-V-E-R
I play my U-K-U-L-E-L-E underneath the stars
Until the cows come home tonight
Until the moon is shining bright
CHORUS
Since I’ve been playing ukulele Yeah, Since I’ve been playing ukulele
BY THE RIVERSIDE (FEAT. PHIL KEAGGY)
Wait for me by the riverside
While you wait, sing a lullaby
And wait for me, try not to hide
Wait for me ’til the morning light
I love you & I don’t even know your name
But one thing I know for sure
Our hearts beat the same
Traveling mile by mile
But seeing you will the worth the while
Our favorite place to pass the time
Please wait for me by the riverside
CHORUS
I searched beyond the walls of solid stone
In search to find a love I call my own
But you were right there waiting where the water meets the sky
By the riverside
(Wait for me)
IF YOU CAME BACK (FEAT. PHIL KEAGGY)
Haven’t worn perfume since the day you left
Haven’t heard that tune since I can’t remember when
Haven’t been so confused since we said goodbye
Now I’m just missing you every day and night
But if you came back, into my life
Never mind the past, You’d be my sunshine
Since you’ve been away I realize
I need/want you more than anything in the world
And oh how I miss you
Missing I love you’s and the way it felt
Being close to you and your hugs that make me melt
From across the room I could read your mind
Now miles away wishing you could read mine
CHORUS
As I’m thinking ‘bout the things I should have said
Going through the memories we both share
Wishing you were here so we could start again
But if you came back, into my life, Never mind the past, You’d be my sunshine
Since you’ve been away, I realize – I need you more than anything,
I want you more than anything, I love you more than anything in the world
and I wouldn’t have to miss you
If you came back
WHEN YOU LOVE ME
Baby, my true lover, hold me in your arms
Maybe, when we’re older, we’ll still be falling in love
When you love me, it’s like a breath of fresh air
When we’re laughing, it’s like heaven is here
In your eyes, in you arms, your words are like charms
And my heart is beating for more
When you love me, it is for sure, sure
Lovely, friends forever, my eyes are only for you
Kiss me, gently whisper; time is standing still
CHORUS
Sweetly drawing closer, feeling our hearts vibe
Knowing this is forever makes my heart come alive
When you love me, it’s like a breath of fresh air
When we’re laughing, it’s like heaven is here
In your eyes, in you arms, your words are like charms
And my heart is beating for more
When you love me, it’s like a breath of fresh air
When we’re laughing, it’s like heaven is here
In your eyes, in you arms, your words are like charms
And my heart is beating for more
When you love me, it is for sure
When you love me, it is for sure
When you love me, I love you more, more
When you love me
MAKE YOUR MOVE
There’s a room of ball gowns and tuxed up men
It’s like a game of dress up, we both pretend
To be really into the ones we came with
You know I know you like me, it’s obvious. And I try so hard to act oblivious
Don’t make me be the first one to confess this
I don’t want to turn anybody else’s head but yours, So come on baby
I’m all dressed up and I’m ready to dance into your arms, yeah Honey it’s like
There’s nobody else in the room, but me and you – so make your move
Oh, there’s a line of bachelors I’m turning down
There’s a list of dashers forgotten now
No one else can suit me the way that you do
So, I’m gonna take my chances and stop the search
For me, there’s just no other, of you I’m sure
I’ve looked around but always come back to you
CHORUS
And since I’m in the mood of confessing, I’m speechless when you look my way
Sempiternally curious of what you think of me
Mama says we’re meant to be, match made in the heavenlies
And this time, I agree
CHORUS
I’ve already dropped my clues, now it’s time for you
To make your move
Make your move
THE LIFE FOR ME (FEAT. PHIL KEAGGY)
Can’t believe I’m late again
Got to school two minutes past the bell
Too much to think about
Ran out the door, forgot my books and cell
But the world seems right
Cause there’s a football game tonight
This is the life for me, No real responsibilities
Just clean my room and do my homework
Look cool for school and check my Facebook
This is the life for me
Ran out of energy
Got to class and fell asleep
Forgot my lunch at home
Can’t get my mama on the phone
But the world seems right
Cause there’s a football game tonight
CHORUS
There’s only twelve long years of this kind of life
Sometimes I never always like it, but it’s kind of nice
CHORUS
This is the life for me, oh
Ah, ah, ah
This is the life for me
LITTLE THINGS
Thank you for the letter melts my heart to say the least
Couldn’t ask for a better handsome bachelor loving me
And thank you for the dinner feeds my heart to say the least
Would’t ask for another handsome bachelor loving me
‘Cause it’s the little things you do That make me fall for you
It’s the little things you say That drive me crazy
It’s your little thoughtful way that makes me fallen for you
I’m falling for you, you know I’m falling for you, you know, you know
And you know, I love you truly do
You’re no average Joe
You’re my Boaz and I’m your Ruth
CHORUS
Thank you for the dinner Spontaneous and so unique
You make me a winner and make me feel so lovely
CHORUS
It’s the little things, it’s the little things, it’s the little things
It’s the little things, it’s the little things, it’s the little things you do
That make me fall for you
MR. RIGHT NOW
He wouldn’t lie, no, not to me
I know him better than you, Daddy
We talked it out, no secrets now
When he’s around I feel so heavenly
So Daddy, what you think?
He said, Darling
If you wanna give your heart away
You could probly find a boy today
But when you see Mr. Right come around
You better not be with Mr. Right Now
When my pop was young, about my age
His momma said, boy, you’ll be happy if you wait
He dated ’round, almost lost out
He said I probly wouldn’t be here right now
If she hadn’t set him down and said
If you wanna give your heart away
You could probly find a girl today
But when you see Mrs. Right come around
You better not bee with Mrs. Right Now
And I’m not saying he’s not the one for you
No, I’m just trying to protect the heart of my jewel
And you will find him probably when you’re not looking
Cause he’ll be lookin’, lookin’ for you, yeah
But trust me
If you wanna give your heart away
You could probly find a boy today
But when you see Mr. Right come around
You better not be with Mr. Right Now
(2x)
You wouldn’t lie no, not to me
You’ve been around so I’m trusting you, Daddy
MAYBE
Maybe it’s the hair, maybe it’s the eyes
Maybe it’s your smile that takes me by surprise
Maybe it’s just you, And everything you do
I don’t really know why I’m so in love with you
But I want you to know
I want you to know
That I’ll always love you so
That I’ll always love you so
Maybe it’s your voice, maybe it’s your laugh
Maybe it’s your heart that makes me your other half
It’s obvious to me, that we were meant to be
And if this love is true then it won’t take long to see
CHORUS
And I want to spend my life holding your hand
Woah, I wanna spend my life by your side, and that’s where I’ll stand forever
Oh forever, forever with you
Forever, forever, forever with you
Maybe it’s the hair, maybe it’s your eyes
Maybe it’s your smile that takes me by surprise
Maybe it’s just you, And everything you do
But what I know for sure is that I’m so in love with you
AIN’T YOUR FOOL
I ain’t your fool
It’s not like this is my first rodeo, I’ve seen the likes of you before
And I know better than to fall for you, to even let you open up that door
‘Cause I can see through you and I ain’t your fool
You say you wanna good girl like me
You gotta be a good boy, darling
If you wanna do some changing, we’ll see
About you and me, but one thing’s for sure
I ain’t your fool
Nothin’ new under this big bright sun
And bluffin’ ain’t getting’ ya through to my heart
Ooh, ooh, somethin’ ‘bout you that really gets to me
But I don’t get hung up on good looks and cowboy charm
‘Cause I can see through you and I ain’t your fool
CHORUS
And I’m not one to fall for bad boys, ain’t like me to lead ‘em on
‘Cause I can see beyond the now, boy, you want what you want
Then you’re gone, long gone
And you say you wanna good girl like me
You gotta be a good boy, darling
If you wanna do some changing, we’ll see
About you and me, but one thing’s for sure
If you wanna good girl like me
You gotta be a good boy, darling
If you wanna do some changing, we’ll see
About you and me, but one thing’s for sure, I ain’t your fool
One thing’s for sure, I ain’t your fool
One thing’s for sure, I ain’t your fool
SINGLE ONCE AGAIN
I had a boyfriend one time, and he was perfectly sublime
And he was charming, 6’3, but he was not the one for me
There was a lad in my pre-teens, and he would call and sing to me
He even promised me a ring, but I just wanted to be free
I heard the boys said “amen” ‘cause I was single once again
And I don’t mind the attention of being single once again
I met a chico overseas, and he would Skype and send me things
He bought me my first ukulele, so glad it didn’t come with strings! (hasta luega)
There was a chap that captured me, I took it just a bit too deep
Alright, I kissed him on the cheek, but he is sooo not for me
CHORUS
There’s so much more that you can do when you’ve got nobody holdin’ you
It’s time for freedom and for fun, so come on, girlfriends, gather up
I’m not afraid to fall in love, but I can never get enough of
When the boys say “amen” ‘cause I am single once again
No, I don’t mind the attention of being single once again
I hear the boys sing “amen” ‘cause I am single once again
I kinda like the attention of being single once again
Oh, I am single once again,
Completely single once again
CAN’T SLEEP TONIGHT
Wide-eyed as the clock turned midnight
It’s been a long time since this happened to me
Rewind, think of all the sweet times
Smiling the whole while, as the clock turned 1, 2, 3, 4
I can’t sleep tonight, Oh I can’t sleep tonight
You were on my mind again, happens all the time
You were on my mind again, something I can’t fight
Daylight wasn’t far off when I realized that my life wasn’t mine anymore
Now I think I understand why people say it’s so right
And can’t go back to life before love
CHORUS
I miss you even when you’re with me
Can’t breath, can’t think about any other thing
Tomorrow might be sleepy ‘cause
I can’t sleep tonight, No I can’t sleep tonight
You’re on my mind again, happens all the time
You’re on my mind again, something I can’t fight
You’re on my mind again, happens all the time
You’re on my mind again, something I can’t fight
I can’t sleep tonight
THE LAST GOODBYE
Not every story will end with happily ever after
When you let go of what you’ve been holding
You will not know when it will stop hurting
The last goodbye will always be remembered
When we both cried and how we held each other
Knowing we were parting for the better didn’t make it any easier
And you know I still love you
Though I cannot be with you now
Love is a journey, it’s filled with joys and pains as we’re learning
When you let go of what you’ve been holding
In the shadows your heart is still hurting
CHORUS
Not every story will end with happily ever after
TO THE MOVIES
I think I saw him wink at me
I guess we’ll see
He seems nice and good enough for me
I guess we’ll see
Maybe he’ll ask me, ah
You wanna go to the movies?
Maybe take a walk under the moonbeams?
Anything to be together baby, baby, ah-ah
Cause every time I think aboutcha
No, I can’t imagine life withoutcha
I’ll do anything to be together baby, baby, ah-ah
He finally got to asking me
And he’s so sweet
Oh, and he thinks of everything
Sings me to sleep over the phone
And then he texts me, ah
CHORUS
I love our sweet dates, our cheap taste, where anything will do
No, don’t say sorry, I’m happy as long as I’m with you
So, you wanna go to the movies?
Maybe take a walk under the moonbeams?
Anything to be together baby, baby, ah-ah
Cause every time I think aboutcha
No, I can’t imagine life withoutcha
I’ll do anything to be together baby, baby, ah-ah
You wanna go to the movies?
Maybe take a walk under the moonbeams?
You wanna go to the movies?

We’ve never been this far from home
It’s like nothing we’ve ever known

Breakin’ your back on a life long track just, tryin’ to survive
Now I’m believing anything is possible worth dreaming

You gotta do what you love, you’ll never work again
I said do what you love, there’s no better way to spend your life
Do what you love, you’ll never work again

Dreams and time swallowed by the dime
Now it’s do or die, gonna sink or fly, baby, I gotta try
‘Cause I’m believing anything is possible worth dreaming
It’s why I’m alive
CHORUS
How can I watch my life pass me by,
For that matter, let down mankind?

Little girls with their little curls In their little world

Preteen with all their thinking, She knows everything
Will she complain or be thankful today?
In all the years you’ve had with me,
I hope you learned that faith is the key to everything

Welcome to mine, you’re gonna do just fine
My little girl. mmm, not so little girl, mmm
ROCKY ROAD
Hey dad, remember when I was just about ten
Postcard from camping and a little note that said
“I coming home, let’s share a rocky road
In our boat, just you and me alone
In my time away I’ve found that there’s no place I’ve known
No, there’s no place like home”
Dear dad, I didn’t know what I had
No boy is ever worth making you sad
Thanks for having me back
I coming home, it’s been a rocky road
I should have known you were right all along
In my time away I’ve found that there’s no place I’ve known
No, there’s no place like home
Oh dad, tell me how time flies so fast
I think I found a college guy that you’ll like
I coming home, driving down our rocky road
And though I’m grown, I’m still daddy’s little girl
In my time away I’ve found that there’s no place I’ve known
No, there’s no place like…
Home has been my safe haven
And you have shown me how to pick the right man
From your hand to his, I’m sure glad you did
I’m coming home, can hardly wait to see your smile
Get ready to hold your first grandchild
And the memory I love the most
Is our time alone, in our little boat
And our rocky road
SOMETHING ABOUT THE FAMILY
Who do we call when life gets out of hand?
The ones who love us and will listen and will try to understand
Who do we know who knows us best?
Can make us laugh and relax and never needs to be impressed
It’s an unexplainable bond, oh
There’s something about family that brings us home
Oh, there’s something about family, helps us forgive the harshest wrongs
And I don’t know what it is that keeps us strong through all life’s storms
But there’s something about the family that brings us home
Where do we go when we’re misunderstood,
or when nothing seems to turn out in the way that we thought it would?
What do we know that brings more delight
than when the family’s altogether loving each other? It’s just right
It’s an unexplainable bond, oh
CHORUS
Easter, Thanksgiving & Christmas, growing up
Mom and dad said we would always miss this
No matter where life takes us, in our hearts we’ll always know, that…
CHORUS
Brings us home, mmm
NASHVILLE
Standing in the streets of the Nashville, Tennessee
Walking in the shoes of every new tune, singing oh
Saw a Bluebird fly into a cafe, took it as a sign that’s where I should play
Singing oh
Chasing your dreams ain’t as dreamy as it seems
All I can do is be the best I can be
I’ve burned the boats, going home is not happening
‘Cause all my dreams are in Nashville, Tennessee
Gigging all the halls that no one wants to play
Doing all my dues, I’ll have a story someday, singing oh
Living on a dream and eating on the tips,
Waiting for the day for fate to kick in, singing oh
CHORUS
No pain no gain, spring comes with rain, Momma always said
“You’ll get ahead if you never give up, never give out, never lose heart
Live every day, learn from mistakes, this is your start…
You’re gonna make your mark, but times will get hard ‘cause”
“Chasing your dreams ain’t as dreamy as it seems
All you can do is be the best you can be
Give up can’t be in your vocabulary
When all your dreams are Nashville”
Chasing your dreams ain’t as dreamy as it seems
All I can do is be the best I can be
I’ve burned the boats, going home is not happening
‘Cause all my dreams are Nashville, Tennessee
Standing in the streets of the Nashville, Tennessee
Walking in the shoes of every new tune, singing oh
WE’RE HERE FOR YOU
Every day of your life, we’ve thought about you
What you dreamed, what you like
Things you may go through
We tried to love you the best way we knew how
We hoped you’d never want to venture out
And we still love you, no matter what you do
We’re here for you
As you’re away, we will pray
You stay out of trouble
We all learn different ways
And that’s okay
CHORUS
We learned a few things
We blamed ourselves
We never wanted
You where we could not help
CHORUS 2x
We’re here for you (2x)
BEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE
I’ve got a guitar hangin’ in my house
Just sittin’ there collecting dust
‘Cause there’s no time to pick it up
He’s got an old car rusting in his yard
He’s been thinkin bout taking it apart
But there’s no time to do the things he wants
But Maybe if we stopped watching TV
We’d find the time for those things & people that we love
These are the best days of your life
If you’ve got a heart that’s beating, you’ve still got time
These are the years to dream, to think & say & rebelieve
These are the best days of your life
They’ve got a nice house & a couple kids
But they’ve never learned to camp or fish
‘Cause there’s no time to leave this town
She’s got an old dream from her younger years
She’s gettin courage to overcome her fears
‘Cause there’s no time like right now
Yeah, maybe if we got off our computer screens
We’d find the time for those things & people that we love
CHORUS
So start now, don’t doubt
Pull the pen and paper out
Write it down, spell it out
Pretend your life is starting now
These are the best days of your life
If you’ve got a heart that’s beating, you’ve still got time, yeah
These are the years to dream, to think & say & rebelieve
These are the best days of your life (3x)
NEVER LOSE MY HEART
Tell me what you’re thinking, I already know
You should know that your eyes, They always show me exactly what you’re feeling
And I’ll love you always, in spite of rainy days
And you will never lose my heart,
And our love knows no end, and you are my closest friend
You will never lose my heart
Loving you is easy, it’s all I know
Everyday I’m dreaming of how I can show you exactly what I’m feeling (oh, oh)
CHORUS
And will love you, and I will love true, and I will love you, my love
(2x)
So tell me what you’re thinking, I already know
WHAT TRUE LOVE MEANS
Why am I fighting all I’ve ever loved?
Why am I taking back my heart?
Why am I feeling you are not enough?
Why am I falling out of love?
You were everything I’d ever thought of dreaming
And my heart was taken, and now I’m rethinking
I love you, I’m staying, we’re finding what true love means
I like you, I’ll try to be everything you’ll ever need, oh oh oh oh
How did I lose you, where did go wrong?
Must have been thinking of myself
How do you I show you, you are what I want?
I feel like I’m falling back in love
CHORUS
I’ll give up anything for you, my true love
We’re gonna make it through
CHORUS
What true love means
WHAT MONEY CAN’T BUY
Workin, workin, workin to the top, top, top
Everybody wantin’ whatcha got, got, got
And just about the time when they say to sell out
I’ll tell em, tell em, tell em that without a doubt
I’ve got all the things that money can’t buy
Faith ‘n hope, and I’m lovin’ life
Oooh, what money can’t buy

Love ‘n joy and peace of mind
Oooh, what money can’t buy
Lookin’, lookin’, lookin’ for some good, clean fun

Somebody come around, say you owe it to yourself
I’ll tell em, tell em, tell em, put it back on the shelf
I’ve got all the things that money can’t buy
Faith ‘n hope, and I’m lovin’ life
Oooh, what money can’t buy
I’ve got all the things that I want in life
Love ‘n joy and Jesus Christ

And step to the rhythm of your heart

When everyone around try to getcha, getcha down
Knock you off your horse and take away your crown
I’m gonna sound out
CHORUS 1 & 2
Oooh, what money can’t buy (3X)
Yeehaw!
WELL DONE
When I stand before the maker of the earth
The One who knew me even from my birth
And when He’s judging me while I am at the foot of his throne
Here’s some things I never want to be told
Don’t want to hear, “well said”, “well thought through”
“Well, at least you had good intentions”, no, no go
Don’t want to hear, “you barely made it by the hair of your chinny chin chin
You squeezed on in”, no hun, I wanna hear, “well done”
When I say a nice cliché to be lookin’ good
And when I think about saving a soul because I know I should
And as a passerby, preoccupied, I’ll probly justify
‘Til I remember, yeah, I’ll remember that I
Don’t want to hear, “well said”, “well thought through”
“Well, at least you had good intentions”, no, no go
Don’t want to hear, “you barely made it by the hair of your chinny chin chin
You squeezed on in”, no hun
I wanna hear, “my good and faithful one, you look just like my Son”
“Two walloping thumbs up, you are my favorite”
But if I underachieve, and don’t deserve regards like these
Then at least, I just can’t, I just don’t, I just won’t
Look me in the eye
Don’t want to hear, “well said”, “well thought through”
“Well, at least you had good intentions”, no, no go
Don’t want to hear, “you barely made it by the hair of your chinny chin chin
You squeezed on in”, no hun, I wanna hear, “Well Done”
I wanna hear, “well done”
OUT TO SEA
Oh, oh
You’ve only got one life to live, yeah
You’ve only got one life to give
Oh, if we don’t take a stand, We’re falling on sinking sand
If we don’t say a word, how’s the gospel gonna be heard?
Take the message, change the world
I’m going out to sea, I’m searching, oh who will be
Serving the King with me?
I’m prayin’, the word I read is changing, the life I lead
Come serve the king with me
Oh, oh
So many storms have tried to shake us
But our faith is growing stronger
Now we will navigate life’s waters
With the wisdom of the Father
CHORUS
And we will go we will be your light
Tell the world of Jesus Christ, come on
We will go we will be your light
Tell the world of Jesus Christ, Come on, yeah (2x)
CHORUS
Come serve the King with me
WAKE UP THE CITY
What’s it gonna take to clean up your act?
Another sermon tape or another fact? I don’t think so
Oh, and what’s it gonna take to get inside your head?
Another token prayer or a good book read? I don’t think so
‘Cause everything is pulling me, tryin’ to make me not believe
But now’s not the time to be spoon fed
Wake up form sleeping and don’t act so dead
‘Cause the hour is here, the minutes are near
The seconds are getting shorter
When Jesus returns, I don’t wanna be found sleeping
Or playin’ video games, watchin’ TV
Thinking this life is all about me
Lukewarm and idle, thinking He’s never comin’ back for me
So wake up your neighbors, wake up your friends
Wake up your parents before it’s the end
Wake up your city, wake up your church
Wake up your conscience and don’t get burned
Don’t be left behind, blinded by will
Knowing the times and sinning still
Left behind, blinded by will
Knowing the times and sinning still
‘Cause the hour is here, the minutes are near
The seconds are getting shorter
When Jesus returns, I don’t wanna be found sleeping
Or playin’ video games, watchin’ TV,
Thinking this life is all about me
Lukewarm and idle, thinking He’s never comin’ back for me
So wake up your neighbors, wake up your friends
Wake up your parents before it’s the end
Wake up your city, wake up your church
Wake up your conscience and don’t get burned (2x)
Before I see you clearly, I wanna know You
I don’t want my first time to bow be when I have to, oh
SONG OF SONGS
Kiss me with the kisses of your lips
Your love is better than wine, costly wine
Grace me with the scent of your perfume
You’re like a flower in bloom, one may assume
That’s why the maidens love you
No wonder the maidens love you
To me, you’re an apple tree in the woods
Stocked with every good
Darling you refreshen me, and with you is where I belong
This is my song of songs
I am dark for working in the sun brings me undone
But I’m still a lovely one; don’t focus on the darkness of my skin
See what’s within, you see within
And that’s why the maidens love you
No wonder the maidens love you
To me, you’re an apple tree in the woods
Stocked with every good
Darling you refreshen me, and with you is where I belong
This is my song of songs
The wine is like anything I hold dear
Perfume is your presence in my atmosphere
My skin is like the sin that would try to pull
My heart away from you, but you stay true
And that’s why the maidens love you
No wonder the maidens love you
To me, you’re an apple tree in the woods
stocked with every kind of good, yeah
Darling, you refreshen me, and with you is where I belong
And with you is where I belong
This is my song of songs
YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE
You know my momma, she never really loved me
You know my daddy, I remember when he left me
How could I forget?
You know that I am really not a rebel
I get attention when I get myself in trouble
So many regrets
But You, You were always there
Whispering in my ear, “I am here”
And now, I’ve opened up my heart
So let the healing start
I need You now
I met a boy, he told me that he loved me
He’d never leave me then he put his arms around me
Boy, was that a lie
He hit the road, left me with a baby
I found a note, said “don’t wanna be a daddy”
And that was our goodbye
But You, You were always there
Whispering in my ear, “I am here”
And now, I’ve opened up my heart
So let the healing start
I need You
And now, I realize my need for You to come and rescue me
You, You were always there
Whispering in my ear, “I am here”
And now, I’ve opened up my heart
So let the healing start
I need You, I need You, I need You now
Oh oh, oh oh
I need you now
SLAVERY (FEAT. PHIL KEAGGY)
I grew up like the other girls, full of dreams
Of growing up and marrying prince charming
But all my dreams were stripped away, suddenly
Into a life of slavery
And we can do something, instead of acting like it’s not really happening
So what can I give? What can I raise?
Who can I tell? What can I sell?
What can I do to save you from another day of hell?
I’m feeling so betrayed today, sold away by my own family
Living, dying, it’s the same
Is anybody hearing the prayers I pray?
Am I forever locked away in slavery?
And we can do something, instead of acting like it’s not really happening
CHORUS
Could’ve been your daughter, your mother, your sister
Could’ve been you
Oh, it could’ve been, your daughter
Could’ve been, your mother
Could’ve been, your sister
Could’ve been you (2x)
CHORUS
I grew up like the other girls, full of dreams
OBEDIENCE
I am the bride, He is my beloved
I will not hide, I’m captivated
I am the bride, He is my beloved
I will abide, I’m captivated
Where I long to be is where He is
What I need to be is fully His
‘Cause I am Yours and You are mine and this will be my sign
Let my obedience be how I say I love You (2x)
Where I long to be is where He is
What I need to be is fully His
CHORUS
If laughter and joy should turn to pain
I will always praise Your Name
If ever my passion should not be the same
I will never leave you, I will never leave you
I will never leave you, I will never leave you
I will never leave you, I will never leave you
I will never leave Your side
CHORUS
I love you, I love you, I love you & I will never leave Your side
(Instrumental)
I am Yours and You are mine and this will be my sign
Let my obedience be how I say I love You
I am Yours and You are mine and this will be my sign
Let my obedience be how I say I love You
Let my obedience be how I say I love You
WANT YOU BACK (FEAT. PHIL KEAGGY)
As the thoughts twirl around in my head
I’m remembering every word that you said
I want you back with me
As I wait by the hospital bed
Watching the meter, holding onto your hand
I want you back with me
I want you back so I can breathe
As I’m praying on my knees, asking God if He would please
Give me one more day with you
All that’s left is to believe that your eyes again I’ll see
Caught in a dream, I see you smiling
Choosing to stay in the heavenlies
Still I want you back with me
I want you back so I can breathe
CHORUS
And I know that I want you, maybe selfishly
And I may never understand why you had to leave
And as I’m praying on my knees, asking God if He would please
Give me one more day with you
All that’s left is to believe that your eyes again I’ll see
I’ll be with you, you’ll be with me
Someday soon, I’ll be with you
I’ll be with you
HEAVEN
I opened my eyes and all I could see was brightness surrounding me
As I looked around I thought to myself, “could this be Heaven?”
I looked up and down those pure golden streets
The pearly gates and the brightly colored trees
As odd as it sounds, I thought something was missing
Then I saw the Crown Jewel of heaven, He was standing there
As He came closer to me I fell to my knees and I felt His stare
And the flowers were blooming everywhere
And the wind was blowing through my hair
All I could say was “Beautiful, I love you, I love you”
And all my questions disappeared, Suddenly my eyes were teared
All that He said was “Beautiful, I love you, I love you”
I saw the holes in His hands and the holes in his feet
That were made to fill the hole in me
I saw the holes in His hands and the holes in his feet
That were made to make me whole and complete
I opened my eyes and all I could see was darkness, surrounding me
Was this just a dream or was this a flash of eternity?
I wanna be there, Oh, someday we’ll be there (yeah)
And we’ll be caught up together in the air
And the Bridegroom will be standing there
And all we will say is “Beautiful, I love you, I love you”
In the twinkling of an eye we’ll be glorified eternally
And all we will sing is “Beautiful, I love you, I love you”
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
UNTIL ALL ARE FED
Have you ever been hungry?
Have you ever lost hope?
Have you ever been desperate?
Absolutely nowhere to go
Repairing people, restoring lives
Bringing the gospel, sharing the bread of life
Until All are Fed, Until All are Fed
Have you ever been thirsty?
Have you ever lost a home?
Have you ever been humbled?
Life brought you where you didn’t want to go
CHORUS
Until All Are Fed(4x)
Have you ever been hungry?
SNOWING AGAIN
Snow is falling out of the sky
Snow angels already in flight
Icicles are forming as we speak
Snow men popping up all around
Snow ball fights everywhere to be found
We’re living in a snow white Christmas dream
It’s snowing again, momma’s baking gingerbread
Won’t you close the door again, they always forget
It’s snowing again, kids are outside on the sled
I don’t know how they stay warm the way they’re dressed
Caroling tunes are filling the air
Christmas wishes being declared
Someone sneaky’s peeking at their gifts right now
Mistletoe over every door
Trees and wreaths in every store
Manger scenes remind us what it’s all about (silent night)
It’s snowing again, trying not to overspend
Every year that love is here, my heart is content
It’s snowing again, every stranger’s now a friend
Christmas cheer we hare wishing it never to end
Frosty still has’t come to life
But Santa, he always comes just on time
It’s Jesus’ birthday once again
We thank Him for snowflakes falling out of heaven
It’s snowing again, no one’s sending us to bed
Christmas classics rolling we have loved since we were kids
It’s snowing again, New Year’s just around the bend
I can’t wait ‘til next year when we do this all again
It’s snowing again
Oh, It’s snowing again
It’s snowing again
*THE CHRISTMAS SONG (CHESTNUTS)
(NOT AN ORIGINAL, USED TRADITIONAL LYRICS)
FIRST CHRISTMAS NIGHT
Did you see the star in the east?
It’s as bright as anything we’ve ever seen
I feel as though it’s calling me
Come let’s go with an offering
That’s fit for a king, fit for king
I was just out tending my sheep,
when suddenly a sky of angels began to sing,
“Peace on earth and goodwill toward men”
Rushed to the stable in Bethlehem
Not fit for a king, fit for a king
I may never know why God chose me to be there
On the first Christmas night
To see the Savior open up his eyes
To watch Mary and Joseph cry
As they held Him for the very first time
All of our waiting was over
When God was delivered on earth
On the first Christmas night
I was told by an angel in the night
Not to be afraid but to take Mary as my wife
Said his name would be Jesus in a dream
But how could I prepare to be a father who was
Fit for a king, fit for a king
She looked like she was due any moment
But there sadly wasn’t any room in my inn
I tried to help with all I had left & brought them
To the place where my animals were kept
Not fit for a king, fit for a king
I may never know why God chose me to be there
CHORUS
They were chosen by the Lord to love & keep & teach
The Child until He’d grown
Every dream they had given up to be the mom & dad
Of the One who’d save the world
CHORUS
The first Christmas night
PERSONAL SLEIGH RIDE
Carrots for the reindeer, milk and cookies for Santa Claus
I’ve been doing this since I was a tot
But I’m a little older & now I want to see time slow down
I wanna personal sleigh ride tonight
I wanna see Santa tonight
I wanna see a reindeer in flight
I wanna circle round the bright moon
And hang on for dear life
I wanna be the first one down the chimney
I want hold the big red bag of gimmes
I wanna personal sleigh ride tonight
I don’t know what I was thinking when I was wishing for toys & cash
Had to have the latest Polly Pocket & a Peter Pollywog that blasts
But that’s not good enough anymore, ‘cause I know what’s in store
I wanna personal sleigh ride tonight
I wanna see Santa tonight
I wanna see the North Pole, that’s right
I wanna read obnoxious wish mail
See that list with my own eyes
I wanna taste that famous cocoa
I wanna find out what the elves know
I wanna personal sleigh ride tonight
I’m wishing big, not taking no for an answer
Not coming home ‘ti I meet Comet & Prancer, Heyaw!
I wanna see Santa tonight
I wanna be right there by his side
When he shouts “Merry Christmas to all
and to all a good night”
And just at the crack of dawn
When I see the sun is coming up
I’ll slip back into my beddy-bye
And tell you all about my personal sleigh ride
IT’S NOT THE SAME
When all my favorite stores seem to lose their appeal
And the carols that I love, their magical jingle
When colored lights and sales can’t seem to lift my heart
It’s then I know we must be far apart
It’s not the same without you here with me
Decorate the house, put up the Christmas tree
Sat by the fire, laughed by the hour and dreamed, Just you & me
And I’ll still hang you’re stocking, But it’s not the same
When my friends ask how do I do without you
You should never be alone this time of season
I hold onto the hope next year won’t be so blue
Hold back the tears, I’ll make it through
CHORUS
Ooooooo, I miss you (3x)
Ooooooo, sure miss you
CHORUS
SOMETHING ABOUT THE FAMILY
Who do we call when life gets out of hand?
The ones who love us and will listen and will try to understand
Who do we know who knows us best?
Can make us laugh and relax and never needs to be impressed
It’s an unexplainable bond, oh
There’s something about family that brings us home
Oh, there’s something about family, helps us forgive the harshest wrongs
And I don’t know what it is that keeps us strong through all life’s storms
But there’s something about the family that brings us home
Where do we go when we’re misunderstood,
or when nothing seems to turn out in the way that we thought it would?
What do we know that brings more delight
than when the family’s altogether loving each other? It’s just right
It’s an unexplainable bond, oh
CHORUS
Easter, Thanksgiving & Christmas, growing up
Mom and dad said we would always miss this
No matter where life takes us, in our hearts we’ll always know, that…
CHORUS
Brings us home, mmm
*SISTERS
(NOT AN ORIGINAL, USED TRADITIONAL LYRICS)
MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS
Here we are, it’s Christmastime and everybody is singing
Carols of our Savior’s love from the very beginning
Angels sang of a coming King, Wise men followed a star to bring
Gifts of gold and gifts of myrrh, This young Lad was quite a stir
Frankincense and offerings, and lots and lots of rejoicing
Christmas day we celebrate the birthday of the King of Kings
Merry Merry Merry, Christmas Christmas
Merry Merry Merry, Christmas Christmas
Merry Merry Merry
Mary was a simple girl, young in age and beautiful
Revealed to her by Gabriel she’d bear the Savior of the world
For this young Boy was to bring the world out of its suffering
The greatest gift in history was offered up on Calvary
When Jesus gave His life so we could live with Him eternally
God and man unite again, Peace on earth, goodwill toward men
CHORUS
Noel, Noel, the King is born today
Noel, Noel, in swaddling clothes He lay
Noel, Noel, come see on bended knee
Noel, Noel, He is why we sing
Merry Merry Merry, Christmas Christmas
Merry Merry Merry, Christmas Christmas
Merry Merry Merry, Christmas Christmas
Merry Merry Merry, Christmas
*O HOLY NIGHT

GAME ON
Game on! Join the fight
We’ve finally got a man who will stand for what is right
Game on! Victory’s in sight
We’ve got a man who understands that God gave the Bill of Rights
Oh, there is hope for our nation again
Maybe the first time since we had Ronald Reagan
There will be justice for the unborn, factories back on our shore
Where the constitution rules our land
Yes, I believe Rick Santorum is our man
Game on! He’s got the plan
To lower taxes, raise moral, put the power in our hands
Game on! Change is at hand
Faithful to his wife and seven kids, he’ll be loyal to our land
CHORUS
Oh, it’s crazy what’s been slipping through our hands
When we the people are still supposed to rule this land
Rick understands
So there is hope for our nation again
Maybe the first time since we had Ronald Reagan
There will be justice for the unborn, factories back on our shore
Where the constitution rules our land
Yes, I believe Rick Santorum is our man (2x)
Yes, we believe Rick Santorum is our man
Game on!
