You spend an awful lot of time in Massachusetts
Seems Like every other week you've got a meeting waiting there
Business must be booming or could something else
Be moving in the air up there
You say that its important for our future
An executive on his way up has got to play the part
Each time duty calls you got to give it all
You've got with all your heart
When whoever's in New England is through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to come back to
When whoever's in New Englands through with you
I hear the winter time up north can last forever
Ive been told its beautiful to see this time of year
They say the snow can blind you till the world you left behind
Just disappears I hear
I packed your bags and left them in the hallway
But before you leave again theres just one thing you outta know
When the icy winds blow through you remember that its me
Who feels the cold most of all
When whoever's in New England is through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to come back to
When whoever's in New Englands through with you

I watch you as you wake and rub your eyes and try to hide them from the
morning sun
I whisper how ya doing and you smile and say so tenderly good morning
hun
Chorus:
Last night you made his memory fade a little
You helped me see how love can still be right
I wish you didn't have to leave
If you just knew how much I need
Last night, ev'ry night
I know you have to catch a plane to Memphis
And you mentioned it's an early flight
You start to pack
And while I comb my hair
I stare at you and think about last night
Cause (Repeat Chorus)
I slip into my robe to go make coffee
You come in and pull me close to you
And as I feel your tender kiss
I whisper can't Memphis wait a day or two
Cause (Repeat Chorus)
Cause (Repeat Chorus)

Preacher man talking about the end of time
Well, Lord knows I'm ready, it don't worry my mind
You see, I ain't afraid of nothing because I believe
I've got a sky full of angels watching over me
You can take my possessions
You can take all my gold
Nobody but Jesus gonna take my soul
Walk through darkness
I don't need no light
My faith in Jesus gonna be my guide
You see, I ain't afraid of nothing because I believe
I've got a sky full of of angels watching over me
You can take me for granted
You can take all my gold
Nobody but Jesus gonna take my soul
River's rising but I got no doubt
My sweet Savior's gonna pull me out
You see, I ain't afraid of nothing because I believe
I've got a sky full of angels watching over me
You can take my possessions
You can take all my gold
Nobody but Jesus gonna take my soul
I ain't afraid of nothing because I believe
I've got a sky full of angels watching over me
I ain't afraid of nothing because I believe
I've got a sky full of angels watching over me

The kid down the street mowes the grass every week
The neighbor next door fixed the roof where it leaked
Job's going fine and the bills are all paid
And everyone thinks that I'm doing OK
There's a guy down at work
He's asked me out once or twice
I haven't said yes
But I'm thinking I might
And on my way home I thought I saw you walk by
If only I could get you out of my mind
What in the world am I gonna do about you
Oh your memory keeps coming back
From out of the blue
Oh well I try
And I try
But I still can't believe that we're through
So tell me what in the world am I gonna do about you
What am I gonna do about you
I went to the store
But it wasn't much fun
It doesn't take long when you're shopping for one
Standing in line I thought I saw you walk in
And that's when it started all over again
What in the world am I gonna do about you
Oh your memory keeps coming back
From out of the blue
Oh well I try
And I try
But I still can't believe that we're through
So tell me what in the world am I gonna do about you
What am I gonna do about you
Darling what am I gonna do about you

Three wise men, a shining star
A mother and a father who had come so far
How could they know about their son
And the miracle he'd become
That he held the soul of man
In his tiny little hands
Chorus:
One child one day
And the universe will never be the same
From Bethlehem
Cause the angels' voices rejoicing in his name
Oh, and I believe with all my heart
That he will show the way
And you and I will meet
One child one day
A small white church, a mountainside
Cathedrals filled with music, and golden light
Oh, we gather everywhere
For the peace that's always there
For the story that is told
Of a birth so long ago
Repeat Chorus
. . .

So here you are again
Standing at my door
You know I'll understand
Well that's what friends are for
What's he done this time
What did he say
To make you so darn mad
That you're running away
Now you say you want to be like me
Independent and free
Chorus:
But if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonely nights
The empty I love you's
Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
My life looks good to you
I'm always in control
No one to answer to
But no one there to hold
You see in my eyes you are the lucky one
With loving arms that you can lean upon
I'd give anything I could to save
What you're throwing away
Cause (Repeat Chorus)
I know it's hard to face that love ain't perfect everyday
But I know a hundred girls who would gladly take your place
So (Repeat Chorus)
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
If you only knew
. . .

He said he loves her . . . what can you say to that
He's made up his mind and there ain't nothin' you can do
And so you swallow hard . . . maybe you drive all night
Tryin' to figure out where the whole thing started going wrong
And in the silence something begins to unravel
You never knew him like you'll be knowing him now
Chorus:
Fallin' out of Love and back into your life
Pullin' your heart out from under the knife
Closin' the door on all those dreams you used to know
Fallin' out of love and back on your feet
Turnin' away from that dead end street
Finding out that nothing feels as good as letting go
That's when he calls you up out of the blue one day
And you know he thinks he's talking to the girl you used to be
So when you tell him he's just a memory
Ain't it funny how his voice cracks when you're saying goodbye
And in the silence something begins to unravel
He never knew you like he'll be knowing you now
Repeat chorus
Tag:
Oh and nothing feels as good as letting go
He said he loved her
. . .

Oh ain't life wonderful when everything is right?
But sometimes wonderful can fall apart sometimes
And when your troubles knock you down
Pick yourself up off the ground
(chorus)
And walk on
Walk on
Nothin ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Oh, walk on
Don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light till you find the sun
And you'll be better off in the long run
And walk on
Oh it's a heartache when love comes to an end
And even though your heart breaks
You know it's gonna mend
Keep the faith right through the fire
Don't you ever break your stride
(chorus) 2x
Walk on
Walk on
Oh walk on
Walk on
Walk on
. . .

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
Folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Helps to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa Claus is on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
Although it's been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Oh, and so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
And although it's been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
(Whispers) Merry Christmas

-Verse 1
Well back in 1876 an old boy named Bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950's, they're in everybody's home
It's a crazy little thing they call the telephone
Now there's one on every corner
In the back of every bar
You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane, or in your car
-Chorus
So tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now darling, honey
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?
-Verse 2
Well there's no problem getting to me, baby
You can dial direct
I got call forward and call waiting
You can even call collect
The service man, he told me
That my phone was working fine
And I've come to the conclusion the trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the operator would be glad to put you through
So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you
-Chorus
So tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now darling, honey
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?
-Bridge
There better been a flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that burns up the wires
And thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothin' about
-Chorus
So tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now darling, honey
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?
(Repeat)

The sign says, "families welcome"
At the Oaks Retirement Home
But mostly, no one comes 'cept on the weekends
Ruby Wilson lives in 303
Where she spends most her time
But it`s almost noon on Sunday
And she's been sitting in the lobby since nine
Chorus:
She's all dressed up in her best hat and gloves
She's all dressed up
Watching and waiting, but nobody comes
Some days sure are lonely days
And time can move so slow
When you're all dressed up
With nowhere to go
As Ruby watches all the others
Leaving with their families
The nurse tells her, it`s time to come to dinner
She says she`s expecting company
They're just running late
But, the nurse knows the truth too well
She just sighs and walks away
Repeat Chorus
. . .

We ordered up one more bottle of wine
You told your story and I thought about mine
You said when you lost her, you lost everything
It all started having a familiar ring
I asked you to take me someplace quiet
We wound up at the river for the rest of the night
Somewhere around the break of day
I could hear it coming from a mile away
Don't say that word, not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do, but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone
Reckless hearts can clear a path wider than a hurricane's aftermath
We've both traveled down that road
Well in the name of love, anything goes
So don't say that word, not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do, but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone
Like a child in the night
With no one to hold you and tell you everything's gonna be alright
I must admit it's been fun, but that's no reason to jump the gun
If this is real, time will tell
So let me bite my tongue and remind myself
Don't say that word, the one we both heard too much
You may think you do, but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone
. . .

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?

She came in looking good and looking around
She's checking out every man in the room right now
Now don't go telling her about right or wrong
She's been alone way too long
And the heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon lights
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of a love in sight
She hears him say- "Hey can I buy you a drink"
Then sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring
She knows that he is dealing her a dangerous hand
The consequences of a one night stand
But the heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon lights
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of a love in sight
From somewhere deep inside she tells him "no"
Before she starts to cry she turns to go-
Cuz the heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon lights
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of a love in sight

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

Sun goes down on a silky day
Quarter moon walking though the Milky Way
Oh you and me baby
We could think of something to do
It's the right time of the night
The stars are waking above
It's the right time of the night for making love
No use talking when the shadows fall
Night bird's calling and he says it all
Oh you and me baby
We could think of something to do
It's the right time of the night
The stars are waking above
It's the right time of the night for making love
I got you and you got me
Tell you that's the way my mama always said it should be
Oh I'll be good and you be kind
We'll be bad if you don't mind
It's the right time of the night
The stars are waking above
It's the right time of the night for making love
It's the right time of the night
The stars are waking above
It's the right time of the night for making love
It's the right time of the night
The stars are waking above
It's the right time of the night for making love

I still reach for you
In the middle of my dreams, each night
But my arms come up empty everytime
And lately, I talk to your memory
More than I should
If I could just forget the past, I would
Cause this missing you ain't doing me no good
[chorus]
I'm so close to crazy
Right on the edge
Just one step away from going insane
But I'm not there yet
If I could just lose my mind
I wouldn't know we're through
But this close to crazy
Is far from over you
Today I caught myself
Reliving how it used to be
At a table for two, just you and me
But talking to an empty chair
And laughing right out loud
Turned everybody's head and left no doubt
I'm a broken woman, close to breaking down
[chorus]
I'm so close to crazy
Right on the edge
Just one step away from going insane
But I'm not there yet
If I could just lose my mind
I wouldn't know we're through
But this close to crazy
Is far from over you
I still reach for you
In the middle of my dreams, each night
. . .

Another mornin, another day in your life
Without someone there by you
You had a dream again last night
You wonder why the dream just won't come true
(bridge)
So what you gonna do?
Walk around with your head down?
Maybe that's the reason you've never found the one for you
(chorus)
So you've got to let your love shine through
Your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside your heart
You'll find somebody wants to be apart of your life
And if you'll just believe and say that's what you're gonna do
One day love will find it's way to you
Yes it will
One day love will find it's way to you
Another party and all your friends are smiles
Oh you might meet someone new
Being close would be so nice
In this life, the chances are so few
(bridge)
(chorus)
Don't you ever think you're the only one
Somewhere in the world there's a lonely heart looking for someone
(chorus)
Cause your eyes
Your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Somebody wants to be apart of your life

Grace worked down at Wal-Mart
For thirteen years she punched that clock
Been two weeks without a day off
She never gave it much thought
'Til one morning in the mirror
Two new lines opened her eyes
And suddenly it hit her
She still had the wings to fly
Attention late night shoppers
A two for one on broken chains
Chorus:
That's the state of grace
It's the weak made strong
It's finding what you're missing
Was right there all along
It's and open road to a better place
It's a life worth living
In the state of grace
Grace cleaned out her bank account
Bought a beat up camper truck
Turned her pink slip into personnel
Then tore her time card up
As she drove away she wondered
What New York City would be like
And would the stars really keep you up
On a clear desert night
With a front seat full of road maps
To help her lose her way
Grace knew when she looked up
There wouldn't be a sky
If the dreams we've been given
Weren't supposed to fly
