She married when she was 20
She thought she was ready
Now she's not so sure
She thought she'd done some living
Now she's just wondering what she's living for
Now she's feelin that there's something more
(chorus)
Is there life out there?
So much she hasn't done?
Is there life beyond her family and her home?
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares?
She doesn't wanna leave she's just wondering is there life out there?
She's always lived for tomorrow
But she's never learned how to live for today
Oh she's dying to try something foolish
To do something crazy or just get away
Oh something for herself for a change
(chorus)
There's a place in the sun that she's never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then?
Oh she looks out her window and she wonders again
(chorus)
Oh, she doesn't wanna leave she's just wondering is there life out there?

I can't get used to the hustle
I try to keep my actions straight
I get caught in the bustle
I do things I really hate
Just when I think I'm sinking
I hear a voice inside my head
Says don't do what you're thinking
Send your thoughts to me instead
Chorus:
Somebody up there likes me
Somebody up there knows what I need
When my worldly head spins around
He sends his love down
You know I'm only human
That's all I always say
It's just excuses
So I can do things my own way
But when I fall and stumble
I know I will be saved
No my world won't crumble
I'll make it through the hardest days
Repeat Chorus
I wish I'd known all along
But it's much better late
Than to never know you're wrong
Repeat Chorus x2
He sends his love down
Somebody up there likes me

When you've climbed the highest mountain
When a cloud holds the sunshine in
Suddenly there's a valley
Where the Earth knows peace with men
When a star hides the distant rainbow
And you think you can't find a friend
Suddenly there's a valley
Where friendships never end
Touched only by the season
Swept clean by the ? rain
Surveyed by every bluebird
And kissed by the falling rain
When you think there's no bright tomorrow
And you feel you can't try again
Suddenly there's a valley
Where hope and love begin
Suddenly there's a valley
Where hope and love begin

Reba McEnTire & Clint Black
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found.
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun
--- Instrumental ---
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found.
Was blind, but now I see.
I once was lost, but now am found.
Was blind, but now I see...

I just got the wedding invitation.
There's gonna be a celebration like you've never seen.
Just fit for a queen.
She's got her mom and daddy's blessing.
She's got a long white wedding dress and his wedding ring.
Oh what can I bring.
What do you give the girl who has everything.
She's got the man who used to hold me.
She's got the man who told me I was his everything.
She's got the man who used to love me,
who placed no one above me.
How he made my heart sing.
Oh what can I bring.
What do you give
the girl who has everything.
She'll hear his promise of forever.
She'll hear him say what I could never get him to say.
Oh he'll say it today.
She'll hold his hand and throw the flowers.
Drink champagne till the morning hours.
The queen has her king, and the world on a string.
Repeat Chorus
. . .

You're asking me to open up
I'm trying my best to give enough
To keep this love alive
It wouldn't be so hard for me to do
If it hadn't have been for all my heart's been through
CHORUS:
But once you've learned to be lonely
And lonely is the only thing you've known
It begins to feel like home
It becomes your comfort zone
Once you've learned to be without someone
And settle for the silence of an empty room
Oh, it changes you
There's a lot you have to undo
Once you've learned to be lonely
It becomes a habit of the heart
To be afraid and even start
To try and love again
I want to give myself to you
But I've been alone so long that I'm scared, scared to move
CHORUS:
But once you've learned to be lonely
And lonely is the only thing you've known
It begins to feel like home
It becomes your comfort zone
Once you've learned to be without someone
And settle for the silence of an empty room
Oh, it changes you
There's a lot you have to undo
Once you've learned to be lonely
I've built these walls, but I feel them falling down
Touch by touch your love is my way out
CHORUS:
But once you've learned to be lonely
And lonely is the only thing you've known
It begins to feel like home
It becomes your comfort zone
Once you've learned to be without someone
And settle for the silence of an empty room
Oh, it changes you
There's a lot you have to undo
Once you've learned to be lonely
There's a lot you have to undo
Once you've learned to be lonely

Now kids, hang on just a second before we start
You know there's a reason we are all here
In front of Grandma and Grandpa's Christmas tree
And if Trevor and E.P. would quit fighting long enough
And be real quiet
This little song might help ya understand
Long ago, in a stable, there was a baby being born
His parents were Joseph and Mary
And Joseph's big ole heart was torn
Cause he couldn't find a decent place
For Mary to have her child
But Mary said, it just seemed just right
And she blessed it with her smile
[chorus]
Cause what made it special was the baby in her arms
God sent Him down to give the world
A second chance for you and I
That's why we have Christmas at this time each year
It's the baby's birthday party that brings us so much cheer
[spoken]
Now kids, the presents that all of you exchange on Christmas
Represents the gifts that baby Jesus received the night He was born
He got all His presents from three wise men
Who followed a star
And walked a long, long way to the stable
So everytime you tear open one of your presents
Think about that baby and say
"Happy birthday Jesus
I'll open this one for You"
[chorus]
[spoken]
OK, all together now
"Happy Birthday Jesus
I'll open this one just for You"

Reba:
Oh you dont have blue eyes
I expected blue eyes
That's how I pictured you would be
Linda:
And you don't have long hair
I thought that you'd have long hair
So this is all a shock to me
Reba:
I didn't know if you would need me
Linda:
Or believe me
Both:
When I said that I was fooled
Reba:
I really thought that I would hate you
Linda:
I know I meant to
Both:
There'd only be one of us left when we're through
Chorus: (both)
Now that we're Face to Face
And I put myself in your place
I see the truth, I see who's really to blame
And I won't play this game, Or try to get even
You know he's lost, Watchin' us leavin'
Oh I blamed you, But I see my mistakes
Now that we're Face to Face
Linda:
I believe in true love
Something to be sure of
Isn't that what we deserve
Reba:
There's no blame here
We both end up the same here
A little wiser than we were
Linda:
There was a time this would have killed me
Reba:
And it may still be
Both:
Hard to look you in the eye
Linda:
And now that all the spells are broken
Reba:
The truth been spoken
Both:
My heart has the strengh to tell him goodbye
Chorus: (both)
Now that we're Face to Face
And I put myself in your place
I see the truth, I see who's really to blame
And I won't play this game, Or try to get even
You know he's lost, Watchin' us leavin'
Oh I blamed you, But I see my mistakes
Now that we're Face to Face
Oh I won't play this game, Or try to get even
You know he's lost, Watchin' us leavin'
Oh I blamed you, But I see my mistakes
Now that we're Face to Face
Now that we're Face to Face

On a cool gray morning
I watched with my own eyes
As he headed out the driveway
And finally out of my life
Oh, I knew he'd soon be
Miles from my mind
So why should tears start falling
After all this time
How can a memory last this long
Will he ever go away
Even the stars burn out and fall
Will he ever go away
How can someone who left so long ago
Still be here with me today
Will he ever go away
Shouldn't I start living my life for myself
Shouldn't it be easy to fall in love with someone else
Oh why should it be his touch
I feel in the dark
And will his voice always
Echo through my heart
[Repeat Chorus]

The lights of Laredo dance on the water
and shine in a young man's eyes.
Who stand on the border and dreams of paradise.
He's heard crazy stories of how people live over in the promised land.
He heard they eat three meals a day, just across the Rio Grande.
He's got a wife named Maria, and a baby
named Rose, and another one to feed on the way.
Two willing hands, that couldn't find work today.
He stares at the river and curses the future,
that he can't understand.
He knows the child would have a chance, just
across the Rio Grande.
It's only a river,
that's not so deep or wide.
A boy can throw a stone across and
reach the other side. It's just some
muddy water, cutting through the land.
But a man can make a dream come true
just across the Rio Grande.
The lights of Laredo dance on the water and
shine in a young man's eyes. Who stand on the
border and dreams of paradise.
He's heard crazy stories of how good life is
over in the promised land, and
sometimes it seems like God must live just
across the Rio Grande.
Repeat Chorus
