6 pounds and 9 ounces, lookin' up at me
Like I have all the answers
I hope, I have the ones you need
I've never really done this, now I know what scared is
Sometimes, I'll protect you from everything that's wrong
Other times, I'll let you just find out on your own
But that's when you'll be growin'
And the whole time I'll be knowin'
You're gonna fly with every dream you chase
You're gonna cry but know that that's okay
Sometimes life's not fair but if you hang in there
You're gonna see that sometimes bad is good
We just have to believe things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me
You're gonna be
I'm afraid you'll have to suffer through some of my mistakes
Lord, knows I'll be trying, oh, to give you what it takes
What it takes to know the difference between getting by and livin'
'Cause anything worth doing is worth doing all the way
Just know you'll have to live with all the choices that you make
So make sure you're always givin' way more than you're takin'
You're gonna fly with every dream you chase
You're gonna cry, but know that that's okay
Sometimes life's not fair, but if you just hang in there
You're gonna see that sometimes bad is good
We just have to believe things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me
You're gonna be
Someone's everything
You're gonna see
Just what you are to me
You're gonna fly with every dream you chase
We just have to believe things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me
You're gonna be, always loved by me

Well I thought I had seen good looking men in my time
That was before I met you
And I never saw one that I wanted for mine
But that was before I met you
Chorus:
Well I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed
And I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you
Well I wanted to ramble and always be free
That was before I met you
And I said that nobody could ever hold me
But that was before I met you
Repeat Chorus
I thought I'd been kissed
And I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you
Darling that was before I met you
. . .

I caught you smiling at me again
Out of the corner of my eye.
It isn’t easy when I have to pretend
That you’re just another guy.
I can’t let anyone ever know.
I can’t let my feelings show.
Cause you’re the one I dream about,
When I fall asleep at night.
And you’re the one I think about
When he turns out the light
Now it’s so hard to live without you’re love to hold me tight.
How I wish that he was you tonight.
Whenever you are close to me my heart
Just won’t be still.
I hope that no one else can see the
Way you make me feel.
If only I didn’t have to hide all this loving i
Hold inside
Repeat chorus

He believes in the family unit
The union of man and wife
He believes that you stand before God
For better, for worse and beyond this life
He believes that a ring on his finger
Is something to be proud of
For all of the world to witness
That he is committed to this love
He wants to get married
He'll build a house in the country
Where he'll watch his children grow
And teach them the values of something
That most people never even know
He wants to get married
I never thought I would be so blessed
To know a man like this
He's everything, everything I believe that a man should be
And when he is called to his maker
He wants to go to his grave
With his final remembrance of this earth
To be one last look at his wife's face
He wants to get married
He wants to get married
Oh, he wants to get married
But not to me
. . .

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

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

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)

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
. . .

Well I could swear
This king size bed
Keeps getting wider
And I could swear
A stranger's laying by my side
And I can swear a long dark valley lies between us
And there ain't no way to cross the great divide
Chorus:
The great divide
Ain't in Colorado
It's the distance that we've somehow grown apart
The great divide
Oh that river's sorrow
We can't rebuild
The bridge we burned
Between our hearts
And Lord knows we both tried hard
At crossing rivers
But pride runs as deep
As it is wide
And the love that once could conquer any mountain
Has reached the edge of the great divide
Repeat Chorus
The great divide
Ain't in Colorado

You found me down
Hurting bad from his memory
And I thought love and I were really through
But you reached out
And touched my heart so tenderly
You gave me life
Gave me hope
Made me blue
Chorus:
Touch by touch
You're taking the hurt away
Smile by smile
A little more everyday
Heart to heart
You're helping me find a way
To what I once dreamed of
Kiss by kiss
You're making love sweet again
Step by Step
Back on my feet again
Thanks to you
Feeling complete again
Yes you filled me up
Love by love
We're lying here
Loving the feeling morning brings
His memory's fading more with every dawn
Cause like the sun
Your love's so warm and gentle thing
Drives my tears
Lights my way
Leaves me up
Repeat Chorus x2
. . .

Now you ask me if I will go with you
Well I'd like to but I don't know if it's right
Are you looking for someone to care for you
Or just someone to love you tonight
Well I don't want to be a one night stand
So if that's what you got planned
Baby before we go you better let me know
I don't want to be a one night stand
It been so long since I've had some loving
And your kisses make me wish that you were mine
Now it'd be so easy for me to fall for you
And let myself have a good time
Well I don't want to be a one night stand
So if that's what you got planned
Baby before we go you better let me know
I don't want to be a one night stand
Well I don't want to be a one night stand
So if that's what you got planned
Baby before we go you better let me know
I don't want to be a one night stand
Well I don't want to be a one night stand
So if that's what you got planned
Baby before we go you better let me know
I don't want to be a one night stand

Turn out the light
Turn yourself over to me
Turn off the world
Turn my feelings free
Just enjoy the pleasure
For the pleasure pleases me
You've been turning me on all night long
Now it's my turn
You have reached the woman in me
Through the man in you
Let me be that woman
Before the lovin's through
You just turn yourself over to me
While I turn my feelings free
You've been turning me on all night long
Now it's my turn
All night long
I've been driven to your touch
Haven't had time to give
I've been taking so much
I know you want to hold me
But darling you've done enough
You've been turning me on all night long
Now it's my turn
Repeat Verses #3 and #4
Repeat Verse #4

I took him for granted
Now looking back at it
He's not the only one to blame
Between the jobs and the kids
Wasn't much time for him
We let the fire slip away from the flame
Guess I shouldn't be surprised
But as hard as I try
I can't believe it's happened to me
But I know where he's at
And I know it's a fact
I'd have to be blind not to see
He's out buying her roses
And where that leaves me, God only knows
I know I should tell him to leave me forever
But what'll I do if he goes
Should I put up a fight
Does it matter who's right
Should I ruin my life or my pride
Can we save what we had
And if he comes back
Will I ever get it out of my mind
He's out buying her roses
And where that leaves me, God only knows
I know I should tell him to leave me forever
But what'll I do if he goes
He's out buying her roses
And where that leaves me, God only knows
I know I should tell him to leave me forever
But what'll I do if he goes
What'll I do if he goes
What'll I do if he goes

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

We lie in the dark
I know you're awake
The only sounds are the sounds this old house makes
Oh how I long, I long to hear your voice
Desperate to talk
Yearning to touch
Burning inside cause I want you so much
So I say, I need you
And leave you no choice
[chorus]
You lie
You don't wanna hurt me, so you lie
Buy a little time
And I go along, what else I can do
Maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie
Till you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie
How long until
You just can't go on
And the urge to break loose is just too strong
You should let go, if that's what you wanna do
Oh, but you don't know
If it's the right thing to do
[chorus]
You lie
Oh you lie
Oh you lie

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

Aren't you tired of looking
For love you never find
Aren't you tired of playing games
With 20/20 vision
How is your heart so blind
It's all you wanted love to be
Is close enough for you to see
Chorus:
Look at the one who's been looking at you
Look at the one who's love would be true
You might be surprised
At the love that's shining in her eyes
Look at the one who's so easily found
Look at the one and stop looking around
Look at the one who's been looking at you
I'm standing here just hoping
You're gonna look my way
But you're too busy chasing dreams to see
But when the dreams are faded
There's gonna come a day
That I can give you sweet, sweet love
And all the things you're dreaming of
Repeat Chorus x2
. . .

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
. . .

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
. . .

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

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 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

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
. . .

Of all the broken hearts I've had
This one hurts the worst
His love flowed like a river
Now I'm dying of thirst
If loving him too much is why
I lost him in the end
Then I hope I can live long enough
To make that same mistake again
Well they say that love can be so strong that it's the choking kind
I never thought I'd see the day when love would be a crime
Mistakes can cost a lot and it
Sometimes we lose to win
Oh I hope I can live long enough
To make that same mistake again
Oh I may go crazy missing him
Knowing that it's my fault
But how could I have loved him less
Oh I tremble at the thought
And it's amazing how I'm holding on
With the shape I'm in
Oh I hope that I can live long enough
To make that same mistake again
. . .

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
. . .

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

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
. . .

You tell me that you're always gonna love me
But that's what he said
That's what he said
And forever is a word
That should mean something
But that's what he said
That's what he said
You're telling me the same sweet things he told me
And in your eyes I see that same sweet glow
And did you say you'd never leave me lonely
Well that's what he said
That's what he said
You're telling me I've got to go on living
To open up my heart and just let go
And it's better to love and lose
Then live with nothing
But that's what he said
That's what he said
That's what he said
That's what he said
. . .

In the eyes of the world he's only an ordinary man
But there's a million and one things the eyes of the world never see
He may walk the same
He may talk the same
As a million others do
Oh but you'd see him as I do if his heart had eyes for you
Chorus:
He's only everything
Only everything
He's as real as the thrill I feel
When he walks through my dreams
He's the one I hold
When my world grows cold
And needs a touch of spring
Or a song to sing
Yes in these eyes of mine
Lord he's only everything
Repeat Chorus
Yes in these eyes of mine
Lord he's only everything
. . .

Now when you left everybody told me
That I'd find another to take the place of you
And they all said someone else would hold me
And I'd have a lover to love like I loved you
Chorus:
I'll believe it when I feel it
When somebody makes me feel the way you did
They say he's out there
They tell me someday I'll forget
I'll believe it when I feel it
But I haven't felt it yet
I've heard in time
Time is going to heal me
It's been forever
And I still need you now
Maybe I will someday find that feeling
We had together
Oh but I've got my doubts
Repeat Chorus
I'll believe it when I felt
But I haven't felt it yet
. . .

I remember it all very well lookin' back
It was the summer I turned eighteen
We lived in a one-room rundown shack
On the outskirts of New Orleans
We didn't have money for food or rent
To say the least, we were hard pressed
And Mama'd spent every last penny we had
To buy me a dancin' dress
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair
And she painted my eyes and lips
Then I stepped into a satin dancin' dress
That had a split on the side clean up to my hip
It was red velvet trim and it fit me good
Standin' back from the lookin' glass
There stood a woman where
A half grown kid had stood
She said, "Now here's your one chance Fancy
Don't let me down
Here's your one chance Fancy
Don't let me down."
Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume
On my neck then she kissed my cheek
And then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes
As she started to speak
She looked at our pitiful shack
And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath
She said your Pa's runned off and I'm real sick
And the baby's gonna starve to death
She handed me a heart shaped locket that said
"To thine own self be true."
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
The toe of my high heeled shoe
It sounded like somebody else that was talkin'
Askin', "Mama, what do I do?"
She said just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy
They'll be nice to you
She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy
Don't let me down
Here's your one chance, Fancy
Don't let me down
Lord forgive me for what I do
But if you want out well it's up to you
Now, don't let me down, now
Your mama's gonna move you uptown."
Well, that was the last time I saw my Mama
The night I left that rickety shack
The welfare people came and took the baby
Mama died and I ain't been back
But the wheels of fate had started to turn
And for me there was no way out
Wasn't very long till I knew exactly
What my mama'd been talkin' about
I knew what I had to do
And I made myself this solemn vow
I's gonna be a lady someday
Though I didn't know when or how
But I couldn't see spending the rest of my life
With my head hung down in shame
You know, I might have been born just plain white trash
But Fancy was my name
She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy
Don't let me down
Here's your one chance, Fancy
Don't let me down."
It wasn't long after a benevolent man
Took me in off the streets
And one week later I was pourin' his tea
In a five room hotel suite
I charmed a king, a congressman
And an occasional aristocrat
Then I got me a Georgia mansion
And an elegant New York townhouse flat
I ain't done bad
Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous
Hypocrites who call me bad
They criticize Mama for turning me out
No matter how little we had
But though I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin'
For nigh on fifteen years
I can still hear the desperation in my poor
Mama's voice ringin' in my ears
She said, here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Lord, forgive me for what I do
But if you want out well it's up to you
Now don't let me down
Your mama's gonna move you uptown
Well, I guess she did

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?

I'm gonna take that mountain
I was born a stubborn soul
Ain't afraid of the great unknown
Or a winding road that's all uphill
This is just a stumbling block
Intimidating wall of rock
If you think this broken heart will break my will
I'm gonna take that mountain
Ain't nothing gonna slow me down
And there ain't no way around it
Gonna leave it level with the ground
Ain't just gonna cross it, climb it, fight it
I'm gonna take that mountain
It's overwhelming looking up
I know when it's the challenge of
me against this heartache to survive
I may slip and I may fall
But even if I have to crawl
I'll break through to the healing side
I'm gonna take that mountain
Ain't nothing gonna slow me down
And there ain't no way around it
Gonna leave it level with the ground
Ain't just gonna cross it, climb it, fight it
I'm gonna take that mountain
(Instrumental Bridge)
Ain't just gonna cross it, climb it, fight it
Yeah yeah
I'm gonna take that mountain
Ain't nothing gonna slow me down
And there ain't no way around it
Gonna leave it level with the ground
Ain't just gonna cross it, climb it, fight it
I'm gonna take that mountain
I was born a stubborn soul
This is just a stumbling block
I'm gonna take that mountain

Luck can always change a state of your direction
Leave you looking for another place to run
There's no carrying the weight of your convictions
You just live with what you've done
Chorus:
Silver Eagle
100,000 miles beneath your wings
Flying down that broken line
No one's gonna know the way I feel
One more lost and lonely stranger by the highway
Tell me that I'll never see his face again
You're the only one who's ever going my way
Don't you know the state I'm in
Repeat Chorus x2
