Starin out the window at the sinkin sun
Another painful day is done
If I could convince myself I was over you now
I'd find a way to go on somehow

But the pain just grows stronger every day
I think of you and I'm on my way
Down every lane with your hand in mine
Guess I'm just not the healin' kind

Another December and the cold winds blow
And nights without you are so long
I stare at our picture through the firelight's glow
And where you are right now I just don't know

But the pain just grows stronger every day
I think of you and I'm on my way
Down every lane with your hand in mine

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along

On the edge lookin over
All I see is a four leaf clover
Maybe a sign of things to come
Should I jump, or should I run?

After I fall, where do I stand?
After my heart is in your hands
And you've got it all
After I fall, where do I stand?
After I've loved you all I can
Will I still stand tall?
After I fall

It's as clear as the blue sky
I don't fear you tellin me a lie
So I'll become your only dancer
And let the sunrise bring me answer

After I fall, where do I stand?
After my heart is in your hands
And you've got it all
After I fall, where do I stand?
After I've loved you all I can
Will I still stand tall?
After I fall

You're a move I wanna make
You're a chance I'm gonna take
You're every dream oh

After I fall, where do I stand?
After my heart is in your hands
And you've got it all
After I fall, where do I stand?
After I've loved you all I can
Will I still stand tall?
After I fall

Things around here haven't changed much
It's all pretty much the same stuff
Day after day
The only thing that keeps me goin seems to be our baby girl I'm tryin to raise
She's my life, my mornin angel
Always seems to find the rainbow after the rain
Lately she's so busy growin, I don't even think she knows you've gone away

She finally learned to say goodbye
She's sleepin through the night
She don't wake up cryin
And she's walkin on her own
She don't need no one holding to her hand
And I hate to admit
She's stronger than I am

She ain't crackin under pressure
First one step and then another
She goes along
And if she falls and skins her knee
She cries a while and smiles at me, and just goes on
So many things that she can teach me
Full of life and so completely innocent
She still says she loves her daddy
Goes on just like nothin happened
Forgives and forgets

She finally learned to say goodbye
She's sleepin through the night
She don't wake up cryin
And she's walkin on her own
She don't need no one holding to her hand
And I hate to admit
She's stronger than I am

She's just like her old man

When I reach to hold you, I'll still be alone
When I heard the ringin of the telephone
I'll think it is you
It will not be true

I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin
When there aren't any words to say

I could play the message that you left for me
I can hear your voice and I could still believe
That you will send me home
But you will never come

I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin
When there aren't any words to say

There's a silence that I don't want to keep
There's a hole now where my heart used to be

I lie here for so long
But you will never come

I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin
When there aren't any words to say

I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin

It's like jumpin
It's like leapin
It's like walkin on the ceilin
It's like floatin
It's like flyin through the air
It's like soarin
It's like glidin
It's a rocket ship you're ridin
It's a feelin that can take you anywhere

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

There was passion
There was laughter
The first mornin after
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground
Every time we were together
We talked about forever
I was certain it was Heaven we had found

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

But you can't live your life
Walkin in the clouds
Sooner or later
You have to come down

It's like a knife
Through the heart
And it all comes apart
It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon
It's a hole
It's a cave
It's kinda like a grave
When he tells you that he's found somebody new

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

Ooh, why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin

This mornin is Monday
Where are you now?
Teasin my memory
Tellin me how
To lay low when I don't want to
Your love is elusive
This I know now
It's makin me crazy
Leavin me out in the open
When I don't want to

Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down more than I've already been
Just like a wildfire, you're runnin all over town
As much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

The moments of pleasure
Never do last
They're gone like a suitcase
Full of your past
Long gone
And in a hurry

Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down more than I've already been
Just like a wildfire, you're runnin all over town
As much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

You're runnin all over town
As much as you burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

Just like a wildfire, you're runnin all over town
As much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by now
As much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ashes by now)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ashes by now)

I only needed coffee
Aisle four is where he caught me off guard
Seemed like a lifetime
Between his goodbye
And by the way how have you been?
He talked about the weather
I thought of nights I held him so close
There I go
Thinkin with my heart again

His smile brought back the best times
Sweet memories of nights together
Stirrin up those old feelins
That got me thinkin bout forever

He said I'd best be goin
There's someone waitin for me outside
And I'm dyin
There he goes
And here I go
Thinkin with my heart again

His smile brought back the best times
Sweet memories of nights together
Stirrin up those old feelins
That got me thinkin bout forever with him

I only needed coffee
Aisle four is where he caught me

(Lee Ann Womack/Jason Sellers/Wynn Varbie)

Grabbed my keys, door is locked
I turned off the coffee pot
Runnin late as I back out of the drive
I feel like I'm forgettin somethin

Feelin good, great big smile
First time in a long long while
You ain't been the first thing on my mind
But I feel like I'm forgettin somethin

Maybe my heart is finally healin
Could it be I'm gettin over you?
Baby I'm better now and feelin
Been livin life without your lovin
Your memory's down to nearly nothin
And I feel like I'm forgettin somethin

There's a guy at work, he's cute for sure
I've never noticed him before
Somethin's had me so preoccupied
Yeah but I feel like I'm forgettin somethin

Maybe my heart is finally healin
Could it be I'm gettin over you?
Baby I'm better now and feelin
Been livin life without your lovin
Your memory's down to nearly nothin
And I feel like I'm forgettin somethin

I'm a livin life without your lovin
Your memory's down to nearly nothin

How can you ask me how have I been?
I think you should know well the shape that I'm in
You tell me you wonder if I was okay
Well that's a damn fool thing to say

The water is risin, the water is ride
And you're always standin on the other side
And then comes the moment, I wait in the dawn
With hours to lie here alone

And you seem so surprised that I'm feelin this way
How am I so lonely today?
If you ever loved me the way I loved you
You would be lonely too

So here's to the lovers for old times' sake
Who don't hold each other to the promise they break
And smile through the window
And wave on the street
Cause that's all you want now from me

Should I say somethin to put you at ease?
Or should I get down on my knees?
If you ever loved me the way I loved you
You would be lonely too

If you ever loved me the way I loved you

(Buddy Miller/Julie Miller)

When I gave you my heart
It was not what you wanted
Now the walls say your name
And the pictures are haunted
Does my ring burn your finger
Did my love weigh you down?
Was the promise too much to keep around?

I remember your words and I can't keep from cryin
I could never believe that your kisses were lyin
Was there somethin from the past
Buried in a shallow grave?
Did you think that it was too far gone to save?

Please tell me baby
Please tell me now
You say that I should just go on
Now please tell me how

Now it's just me and the night and I'm so broken hearted
I just wait in the dark here for my dearly departed
Did my ring burn your finger?
Did my love weigh you down?

(Dave Hanner)

Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good

Lord, have you forgotten me?
I been prayin to you faithfully
I should be thankful Lord you know I am
But Lord I hope you understand

I don't need fortune and I don't need fame
Send down the thunder, Lord, send down the rain
But when you're plannin just how it will be
Plan a good day for me

Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good

You've been the king since the dawn of time
All that I'm askin is a little less crime
It might be hard for the devil to do
But it would be easy for you

Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
