Come and gather 'round at the table
In the spirit of family and friends
And we'll all join hands and remember this moment
'Til the season comes 'round again
So let us smile for the picture
And we'll hold it as long as we can
May it carry us through should we ever get lonely
'Til the season comes 'round again
Bridge:
One night, holy and bright
Shining with love from our hearts
By a warm fire let's life our hands high
And be thankful were here 'til this time next year
May the new year be blessed with good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
If we must say goodbye let the spirit go with you
'Til the season comes 'round again
Repeat Bridge
May this new year be blessed with good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
We'll all join hands and remember this moment
And we'll love and we'll laugh in the time that we have
'Til the season comes 'round again
. . .

You talked me into moving in and giving you my key
You said you'd be a mess now if it hadn't been for me
You said I stole your heart away by looking in your eyes
I wonder now how many times you sold that pack of lies
Chorus:
If this is how you act when you give your heart away
Well, take it back
Take it back
You told me I was everything you wanted and more
Then tell me what you're doing now sneaking out the back door
You're bringing home flowers and a bottle of Chablis
You forgot I don't drink wine I know that bottle's not for me
Repeat Chorus:
Oh, you must think I'm blind
And I don't smell your new cologne
You don't think I notice
All the nights I spend alone
Well, I'm not one for sitting 'round in some ole pity pool
You think you got a ticket and I must be some kind of fool
I hate to steal your thunder but your playing days are through
At least they are with me cause babe, I got no use for you
Tonight laying on the street
Babe, your bag is packed
So, take it back
. . .

How did it happen
When did we lose it
The love we looked for so long
I'm sorry I called you
But it's the first night you see
How does it feel to be free
How does it feel now
To reach out for someone
And find there's nobody there
Is it weighing on you
Cause it's sure killing me
Tell me how does it feel to be free
Funny how love is so hard to find
And yet so easy to lose
Maybe in time this old heart of mine
Can learn to be free without you
How did it happen
When did we lose it
The love we looked for so long
I'm sorry I called you
But I just have to see
How does it feel to be free
I'm sorry I called you
But it's the first night you see
Now how does it feel to be free
. . .

I guess it finally dawned on me you're gone
Well maybe I can make it on my own
I don't stay up wonderin' if you'll call
And some nights I don't dream of you at all
Your memory's still hurtin' deep inside
That's something I'm still learnin' how to hide
Though this heart of mine has lost an ache or two
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
Chorus:
Lookin/ down the line sometimes
I think I see a change
But then I think again and think of you
Here and there I've turned a stone
But the mountain hasn't moved
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
I'm still afraid of turning out the light
And it takes all my strength to face the night
Cause that's the time I face the bitter truth
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
Repeat Chorus:
. . .

My cousin's gettin' married at the Methodist church
That's why I stayed home from work
I'm supposed to hold the flowers
When the new bride kisses the groom
That's what I'm supposed to do
So what are we doin' with the windows rolled down
Twenty five passionate miles from town
Oh I love her like a sister baby but to tell you the truth
I'd rather ride around with you
The guy she's gonna marry's got money to burn
His daddy's a partner in some big law firm
Yeah that's how they're goin'
To Hawaii on their honeymoon
First class to Honolulu
She's never even set foot on a jet
I'm a little bit jealous I confess
I'd like to fly to Hawaii
But honey if I had to choose
Oh I'd rather ride around with you
I don't care where this road goes
No I don't wanna turn around
Let go of the wheel feel the wind blow
Don't even think about slowin' down
They're tyin' tin cans to the back of the car
Wonderin' where in the world we are
The preacher's done prayin'
And the couple's sayin' I do
That could be me and you
There's way too many decisions to make
The length of the dress
The layers on the cake
Oh one of these days I might get married too
But I'd rather ride around with you
. . .

His head turned and my heart jumped
When I saw that it was him
After two long years the love of my life
And I just held my breath in
Standin' there smiling
With his eyes locked on mine
He couldn't hear me screamin' on the inside
When I said, tear don't you fall
He's gone, let him go
Eyes, don't look back
Down that empty road
And lips you may move
But don't you say too much
Oh, and please, please heart hush
I said somethin' stupid
And reached out my hand
After makin' love and movin' earth
We were shakin' hands
A million sweet memories pinballed through my brain
The want to hold him one more time
Ran through my veins
[chorus]
When I said, tear don't you fall
He's gone, let him go
Eyes, don't look back
Down that empty road
And lips you may move
But don't you say too much
Oh, and please, please heart hush
I kept lookin' at my watch like I had somewhere to be
Then he stopped talkin' and kissed me tenderly
And I said, tear don't you fall
He's gone, let him go
Eyes, don't look back
Down that empty road
And lips, you may move
But don't you say too much
Oh, and please, please heart hush
Oh, and please, heart hush

Been to Colorado where the mountains touch the sky
And I've done other things in life to lift my spirits high
But nothing that I've ever tried to do
Has taken me as high as loving you
Chorus:
Cause you lift me up, up, up, up to heaven
When you gently lay me down
You lift me up, up, up, up to heaven
Yes you make my world go round
I never try to get away on daydreams anymore
Love's taken me to places that I've never been before
But if it's not heaven when you're holding me
It's the way that heaven oughta be
Repeat Chorus
And we never leave the ground
Up, up, up, up to heaven
Yes you make my world go round
. . .

Chorus:
Oh it's been such a long long time
Looks like I kept you off my mind
But I can't
Just the thought of you
Turns my whole world a misty blue
Just the mention of your name
Turns a flicker to a flame
I think of things we used to do
Then my whole world turns misty blue
I should forget you
Heaven knows I've tried
But when I say I'm glad we're through
My heart knows that I've lied
Repeat Chorus
I should forget you
Heaven knows I've tried
But when I say I'm glad we're through
My heart knows that I've lied
Repeat Chorus
Oh but I can't
Just the thought of you
Turns my whole world a misty blue
. . .

Daddy used to tell me
If I ran too fast I'd fall and hurt myself
But the ice cream man would ring his bell
And I'd get there before anyone else
I'd see a puppy in the window
And I'd run and press my face against the pane
And Daddy'd say slow down girl
After all these years I guess nothing has changed
Chorus:
That little girl I knew
Ran after you
But she fell this time
And broke her heart in two
Hey that's just like a little girl I knew
Back home there stands an old house
With a picket fence beneath a big oak tree
I can almost see the backyard
And a little girl with freckles
That was me
And there were dreams of toys and storybooks and
Lord it seemed I wanted them so bad
Now 20 years have come and gone
And I'm still chasing things that I can't have
Repeat Chorus
Yes, I'm still that little girl
Daddy I still haven't slowed down yet

I know that you've seen love walk out the door once or twice.
I know that you've seen it all, waiting by the telephone,
you didn't get the call. Well baby let me tell ya, you're looking
at me with suspicious eyes, but they'll never be confirmed.
If there was someone else I wouldn't be here now.
Cause you're the only one I want my arms around.
And I'm telling you the truth and now I'll tell ya why.
If there was someone else I'd be with him tonight.
No time for doubts, I'm gonna turn your heart around.
Think about you everyday. Gonna make you understand my l
ove is here to stay. We've got something going that's so hard to find.
You are the one, the only one that's on my mind.
