Альбом Reba McEntire

If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
'Cause I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holdin' hands

If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start that you
Would love me more than her
If I trust in you oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too oh please
Don't hurt my pride like her
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you

I was born three months too early
The doctor gave me thirty days
But I must've had my momma's will
And God's amazing grace

I guess I'll keep on living
Even if this love's to die for
Cause your bags are packed
And I ain't crying
You're walkin out
And I'm not trying
To change your mind 'Cause I was born to be

Chorus:
The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who ought to give up
But she's just to hard headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

I don't believe in self pity
It only brings you down
Maybe the Queen of broken hearts
But I don't hide behind the crown
When the deck is stacked against me
I just play a different game
My roots are planted in the past
And though my life is changin' fast
Who I am is who I wanna be

Chorus:
The baby girl with out a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who oughta give up,
but she's just too hard headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

ooohhh A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

But I must've had my momma's will
And God's amazing grace (I'm a survivor)

(I'm a survivor)

Sometimes I don't understand.
Feels like I'm living in a world gone mad.
Look around, all around it's just the same.
People just rush everywhere.
No time to ever take the time to care.
We're the ones.
We're the losers in this game.
So where is the tenderness we scarifice for progress.
And where is the love we need.
You know it makes me wonder.

What if everybody, what if everybody reached out with just one hand (reached with just one hand).
What if everybody, what if everybody sang out with just one voice (sang with just one voice).
Maybe we could change things.
What if everybody, what if everybody cared with just one heart (cared with their own heart).
What if everybody, what if everybody tried to light one spark (tried to light one spark).
Maybe we could change things somehow.

Somehow it's all up to us.
Gotta take this world, make it a world of love.
Gotta do it now.
Gotta find a way to make a change somehow.
There's gotta be a way for us to make it better.

What if everybody, what if everybody reached out with just one hand (reached with just one hand).
What if everybody, what if everybody sang out with just one voice (sang with just one voice).
Maybe we could change things.
What if everybody, what if everybody cared with just one heart (cared with their own heart).
What if everybody, what if everybody tried to light one spark (tried to light one spark).
Maybe we could change things somehow.

Here in our hearts.
Oh the answer is there.
If we only would look inside them.
We can make it better, we can make it better...If we try together.

What if everybody, what if everybody reached out with just one hand (reached with just one hand).
What if everybody, what if everybody sang out with just one voice (sang with just one voice).
Maybe we could change things.
What if everybody, what if everybody cared with just one heart (cared with their own heart).
What if everybody, what if everybody tried to light one spark (tried to light one spark).
Maybe we could change things somehow

Stacks of paper, my name in bold print
Yours right besides it on this document
Too many lawyers, too many angry words
So much we didn't say, so much we never heard
Do you remember
When I was all that you were living for
Back before the war

CHORUS:
Back before the broken vows
The shattered trust, this empty house
When nothing really mattered but us
Back before we climbed too high
My dreams were yours, your dreams were mine
back before we fell so out of touch
Back before the war

Children's laughter trailing down the hall
Tiny footsteps, God how I miss it all
It's not as simple as who's right and who's to blame
How could we fly so high to be shot down in flames
Do you remember
When you were all that I was living for
Back before the war

Repeat Chorus

Stacks of paper, I guess this is where we sign
Strange how your signature so closely matches mine
I never dreamed our love would ever come to this
Avoiding each other's eyes still craving your tenderness
Do you remember
When love was all that we were living for
Back before the war
Back before the war

Nobody told me
It could ever hurt so bad
I'm having to learn the hard way
Now that you're gone
It's hurting me more
Than any pain I've ever had
And I don't know how I can go on

CHORUS:
Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time, and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you apart
But nobody dies from a broken heart

Everyone tells me
It's gonna take a little time
Before you find your heartaches
Slipping away
I know you mean well
And they're just trying to ease my mind
But it doesn't help to hear them say

Repeat Chorus

There's nothing anybody's gonna say
That'll talk me out of feeling this way
There's nothing anybody else can do
To take away my love for you

I know they mean well
And they're just trying to ease my mind
It doesn't help them to hear them say

Repeat Chorus

Feelin' better
Now that we're through
Feelin' better
'Cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson
It left a scar
But now I see
How you really are

Chorus:
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good...baby you're no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good...baby you're no good

Broke a heart
Gentle and true
Left a man
Over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness
On bended knee
But I wouldn't blame him
If he said to me

Repeat Chorus

I'm tellin' you now baby
That I'm going my way
Forget about you baby
'Cause I'm leaving today

At a diner down on broadway they make small talk,
When she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup,
He jokes about his love life,
And tells her he's about ready to give up,
That's when she says "I've been there before,
But keep on looking cause maybe who you're looking for is"

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody

Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a strangers face instead
It's that blue eyed girl from two floors up
Maybe she's the one,
Maybe he could fall in love with

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody

Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
The moment they'd both missed until that day
When he saw his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why he searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waiting on

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody

Only you
Can make this world seem bright
Only you
Can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love
For only you

Only you
Can make this change in me
For it's true
You are my destiny
When you hold my hand
I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you

Oh, oh, only you
Can make this change in me
For it's true
You are my destiny
When you hold my hand
I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you

I prefer yellow roses to daisies
I'll take the mountains over a postcard view
I'll order steaks every time instead of hot dogs
That's why I chose him over you

I like to love somebody handsome rather than ugly
I like happiness instead of being blue
I like to talk real late at night after making love
And that's the reasons I chose him over you

Well I don't know how I ever did without him
And I don't understand why I put up with you
Well I know that the sun shines the brightest when you're happy

So go ahead and think just what you want to
But I promise what I just told you is true
Oh I love him so much and he loves me too
And that's the reasons I chose him over you

Just some of the reasons I chose him over you
Oh over you

Hey girl, it's me, I just called to tell you hi
Call me when you get this
Haven't talked lately, so hard to find the time
Give the boys a big kiss
Tell them that I miss them
By the way, I miss you too

I was thinking just today
About how we used to play
Barbie dolls and make-up
Tea parties, dress up
I remember how we'd fight,
Then make up, and laugh all night
Wish we were kids again
My sister, my friend

Oh yeah, before I forget, I met someone
I think I really like him
I was just wondering if I'm jumping the gun
By going out on a limb
And invite him home for Christmas
To meet the family

Seems like just yesterday
You brought home oh, whats his name
He had been drinkin'
What were you thinkin'
After dinner he passed out
We can laugh about it now
We've learned a lot since then
My sister, my friend

Do you think you could come and see me sometime soon?
We could just hang out like we used to

It's late, and I should go
But I can't hang up the phone
Until I tell you
What I don't tell you enough
Even though at times it seemed
We were more like enemies
I'd do it all again
My sister, my friend

Oh my sister, my friend

Christmas toys all over the place
Little Shelby wears a funny smile on his face
Shelby has a secret
And the secret he must share
He wants to tell somebody
So he tells his teddy bear

Chorus:
I saw Mama kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the misteltoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peek(it says peep but go with peek)
She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep
Then, I saw Mama tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mama kissing Santa Claus last night

Repeat Chorus

In the beginning
The nights were long
Under the moonlight
I could do no wrong
You told me
I was everything you wanted me to be

Then summer was over
And the nights grew cold
You got restless
And hard to hold
I tried to be
Everything you wanted me to be

Now you keep staring
At that open door
You got what you wanted
And you still want more
Well look at me
I'm everything you wanted me to be

Chorus:
Well if I don't keep you satisfied
You can't say that I haven't tried
And if I'm not what you want by now
For the life of me I can't see how
I'll ever be
Everything that you want me to be

In the beginning
The nights were long
Under the moonlight
I could do no wrong
Remember me?
I was everything you wanted me to be

Sing your song sweet music man
Cause I won't be there to hold your hand
Like I used to
I'm through with you
You're a hell of a singer and a powerful man
But you surround yourself with people who demand so little of you

You touched my soul with your beautiful song
You even had me singing along right with you
You said, I need you
Then you changed the words and added harmony
And you sang the song you had written for to someone new

[chorus]
Nobody sings a love song quite like you do
Nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel
That things are right when I know they're wrong
Nobody sings a love song quite like you

Sing your song sweet music man
You travel the world with your six-piece band
That does for you
What you ask them to
You try to stay young but the songs you've sung to so many people
They've all begun to come back on you

Sing your song sad music man
You're making your living doin' one-night stands
They're through with you
They don't need you
You're still a hell of a singer but a broken man
But you'll keep on looking for one last fan
To sing to

[chorus]

Stuck at a red light outside an adult book store
His son said "Daddy, what are all those X's for?"
As the light turned green he changed the subject fast
Started talking 'bout football, as they drove right past

So what do you say, in a moment like this?
When you can't find the words
Oh To tell it like it is
Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way
Let's get outta here
Oh, what do you say?

Seventeen years old, she was out with her friends
They started drinkin at some party
Till she was three sheets to the wind
Her momma always told her she could call no matter what
She was cryin' on the front steps
When her mom showed up

But what do you say, in a moment like this?
When you can't find the words
Oh ,To tell it like it is
Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way
Let's get outta here
Oh, what do you say?

Sometimes you've gotta listen to the silence
and give youself a little time to think

Her every breath is weaker than the last
And lately, when she sleeps, she talks about the past
Her husband knows she's tired of holding on
She looks at him and says "I wanna go home..."

But what do you say, in a moment like this?
When you can't find the words
To tell it like it is?
Just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way
Oh, what do you say?

Ohhhhh, just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way
Oh, what do you say?
Oh, what do you say?

How do two people like us ever happen to meet
I think about that
Was the timing just right
Was it just that the night was so sweet
I think about that
Is it chemical, physical
What was the deal
Or did some kind of magic
Turn out to be real
Course: Might be how you kiss and hold me tight
When we’re walking honey
Underneath the moonlight
Might be how it keeps on getting better
Haven’t even talked about forever
I just know that
We’re so good together
When did we cross that line
And just happen to find were in love
I think about that
Was it you
Was it me
Who could see we turned out to be us
I think about that
We could spend all our time
Trying to figure it out
And not be any closer than we are right now
Course: Might be how you kiss and hold me tight
When we’re walking honey
Underneath the moonlight
Might be how it keeps on getting better
Haven’t even talked about forever
I just know that
We’re so good together
Oh baby
Might be how you kiss and hold me tight
When we’re walking honey
Underneath the moonlight
Might be how it keeps on getting better
Haven’t even talked about forever
We may never
Baby whatever
I just know that
We’re so good together
Oh, so good together
So good together
So good together
So good together
So good together
So good together
