Michael Britt

His name was Travis, hers was Vanessa
Two Texas kids from west of Odessa
Young love and lust defy rational thinkin'
They were hotter than an oil field on fire
When you're that young everything's crucial
You don't wait around for parental approval
So he asked the question and she answered yes
They jumped in his truck and tore out for Juarez

They had an informal wedding south of the border
Got a room with a view for three bucks and a quarter
On a Mexican night you don't care what might lie ahead
They had a wonderful week in Juarez

Now, when the bottom fell out of his chosen vocation
They were too broke to move to a greener location
Bills you can't pay put a strain on devotion
They decided to just call it quits
Well, it might have been luck or divine intervention
But on the way to the lawyer divorce wasn't mentioned
He said I still love you, she looked at him
And said I know a great way to start over again

They had an informal wedding south of the border
Got a room with a view for three bucks and a quarter
On a Mexican night you don't care what might lie ahead
They had a wonderful week in Juarez

His name was Travis, hers was Vanessa
Two Texas kids from west of Odessa

Hey, we're walkin' through this together
And I'm holdin' onto you
Nothin' can separate
This little twist of fate
You're the one my heart belongs to
Nothin's quite as sweet as the journey
So let's go around the world
Takin' in everything no matter what life brings
We're gonna be chasin' forever

All the way
To the end
All my life
And back again
Every day
I'll be here
Loving you
All through the years
And it's true
There's so much freedom in knowin'
How sure we are that we're goin'
All the way

People ask me think y'all can make it
And I tell them honestly
This ain't no fleeting thing
We're not imagining
This is it, we know it's meant to be
'Cause I love you, love you competely
I've never felt like this
I don't want nothin' but
Something that's passionatev 'Cause the only way I know how to love is

All the way
To the end
All my life
And back again
Every day
I'll be here
Loving you
All through the years
And it's true
There's so much freedom in knowin'
How sure we are that we're goin'
All the way

All the way
There's so much freedom in knowin'
How sure we are that we're goin'
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way

oh, every little thing that you do
baby i'm amazed by you

I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think or make you see one thing for yourself
But now your off with someone else and I'm alone
You see I thought that I might keep you for my own

Amie, what you want to do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Don't you think the time was right for us to find
All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time
And can't you see which way we should turn together or alone
I can never see what's right or what is wrong
Don't you take too long to tell me

Amie, what you want to do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Amie, what you want to do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Now just come to what you want you've had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And you can say that I don't know if it's you or if it's me
If it's one of us I'm sure we both will see
Won't you look at me and tell me

Amie, what you want to do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Amie, what you want to do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Down a dirt road in southern Louisiana
Flew a white Continental with the top laid back
Pretty blonde sittin' on a seat of red leather
Dust blowin' outta those well wore tracks
She goin' back

Moss hangin' down like beards in the bayou
Old folks watchin' from a rockin' chair
Ain't no place for a girl of her state
She's gonna ruin her reputation
She don't care cause he's waitin' there
She's gonna say

Tell me you think that I'm pretty
Tell me you think that I'm smart
Tell me anything and I'll believe it
'Cause I'm listening with my heart

Maybe it's wrong but that's the way it goes
When the only love you get is down
Cheater's road

Bedsprings rubbin' her back through the blanket
Sweat like a tear rollin' down her neck
Watchin' him pullin' down the shades on the window
She'd rather have him than an empty bed and her self respect
And she says

Tell me you think that I'm pretty
Tell me you think that I'm smart
Tell me anything and I'll believe it
'Cause I'm listening with my heart
Maybe it's wrong but that's the way it goes
When the only love you get is down
Cheater's road

Old man countin' his money in the city
Nothin' but the bottom dollar on his mind
The whole situation is a downright pity
He didn't even notice when she crossed that line
When she crossed that line
And she said

Tell me you think that I'm pretty
Tell me you think that I'm smart
Tell me anything and I'll believe it
'Cause I'm listening with my heart
Maybe it's wrong but that's the way it goes
When the only love you get is down
Cheater's road

Down cheater's road
Oh tell me you think that I'm pretty
Tell me you think that I'm smart
Oh tell me you think that I'm pretty
Tell me you think that I'm smart
Oh tell me you think that I'm pretty
Tell me you think that I'm smart

Well, I rolled into town
With the rag-top down
I was looking for that homecoming queen
That three-by-nine lit hotel sign read
Welcome back, class of '83
There were football guys twice their size
Cheerleaders hiding the gray in their hair
The names were the same, but the faces had changed
I didn't recognize anyone there

That used to be us; we used to be cool
With the music cranked up, hanging out after school
That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe
Tell me, where in the world did we all go?
That used to be us, oh, that used to be us

I had a drink with some buds, played a lot of catch up
Danced with my date from the prom
But as hard as I tried until I closed my eyes
Everybody I knew was gone
There was Mr. Finch--he taught English and French
He was dancing with a couple of canes
And that homecoming queen, yeah, the girl of my dreams
She didn't even remember my name

That used to be us; we used to be cool
With the music cranked up, hanging out after school
That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe
Tell me, where in the world did we all go?
That used to be us

As I stand here and look around
I can't help but wonder
Who will we be ten years from now?

That used to be us; we used to be cool
With the music cranked up, hanging out after school
That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe
Tell me, where in the world did we all go?
That used to be us
Oh, that used to be us
That used to be us
That used to be us

I can see it in your eyes
You're livin' a troubled life
And you've been hurtin' more and more these days
You don't have to hide it

Don't even have to fight it
Baby all you have to do is just turn and walk away

When you're tired of it all
And tears need to fall
You back's to the wall
Come cryin' to me

You don't have to be strong
You don't have to hold on
You've been there too long
Come cryin' to me

I'll leave the living room light
Burning all night
No don't even pack
Don't even look back
Baby come cryin' to me

You can get beyond this
All those empty promises
They don't have to hold you down no more
Nothin' to explain to me
You don't even need a key
All you gotta do is knock and I'll unlock the door

When you're tired of it all
And tears need to fall
You back's to the wall
Come cryin' to me

You don't have to be strong
You don't have to hold on
You've been there too long
Come cryin' to me

I'll leave the living room light
Burning all night
No don't even pack
Don't even look back
Baby come cryin' to me

I'll leave the living room light
Burning all night
No don't even pack
Don't even look back

Baby come cryin' to me
Baby come cryin' to me
Baby come cryin' to me

Twenty bucks buys ten coupons
Two ears of corn and one ride on
The tilt-a-whirl with your favorite girl
Keep on walkin' down the midway
Three-eyed goats and games to play
Step right up, Carney says, "Try your luck"

You can tell the sweet smell of summer in the air
Whole town shuts down, everybody's gonna be there

Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
The country anywhere
Than the county fair

Judging pigs and judging pies
Fighting for the first place prize
And have you seen this year's queen
4-H club and F.F.A.
Working toward a better day
And a petting zoo, yeah, they got that too

And eight o'clock rolls around, everybody knows
The grandstands open up and it's time for the big show

Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowd, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
This country anywhere
Than the county fair

Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
This country anywhere
Than the county fair

Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger
In small towns everywhere
Than the county fair
County fair
Yeah, county fair

From the moment I walked in the room
I knew what I was in for
Soft music, the smell of perfume
And that lacy little thing you wore
And by the way you're lookin' at me
It's lookin' like it's gonna be one of those

Crazy nights
One of those going out of our mind times
You always make it worth the wait
Baby, I've been going crazy all day
For one of those crazy nights

The moon is makin' shadows on the wall
Something in the air is calling
There's no need to say anything at all
Our hearts are doing all the talkin'
You make me feel so wild and free
I think I'd lose my sanity without those

Crazy nights
One of those going out of our mind times
You always make it worth the wait
Baby, I've been going crazy all day
For one of those crazy nights

One of those crazy nights
One of those going out of our mind times
You always make it worth the wait
Baby, I've been going crazy all day
For one of those crazy nights

One of those crazy nights
One of those crazy nights.

Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start
Let's leave Lisa out of this one
Lisa broke my heart

Gwendolyn was splendid, but her tendency to spending
Spun a little out of control
Two nights on the town and
My poor bank account was crawling around on the floor

And pretty young Alicia, she could take a piece of your heart
And lead you to the light
Lucy, Melinda, Loretta and Lucinda
We could go on all night but

Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start
Let's leave Lisa out of this one
Lisa broke my heart

Priscilla was a killer, meaner than Godzilla
But oh what a pretty girl and
Dawn in the dawn with her pom-poms on
She could twirl like a tilt-a-whirl

There's wonderful women all over the world
I've said it again and again
But she whose name must not be spoken
Has it all over all of them so

Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start
Let's leave Lisa out of this one
Lisa broke my heart

You can talk about the weather
Cotton or leather
And do you think the Beatles shoulda really gotten back together
Talk about the truth
Mantle or Ruth
Fabio, DiMaggio or John Wilkes Boothe

Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start no, no
Don't let's talk about Lisa please sir
Lisa broke my heart

Oh Lisa she's off limits man
Lisa broke my heart

Lisa Lisa Lisa broke my heart

You can talk about Hanson, Marilyn Manson
And do you think they'll ever have a show down in Branson
Talk about desire, Sosa or McGwire
And is we in the fryin' pan or is we in the fire
Talk about what's real and what you really feel
And how's about those mini skirts on Ally McBeal
Talk about the X-Files, Macaroons and mistrails
And did you ever snag your jacket pocket on a turnstyle

Funny you should show up after all of these years
Yeah things sure have changed around here
Seen a lot of strangers since they put that interstate through
No this ain't the same town that we once knew

They put up a plant where we used to park
That ol' drive in's a new Wal Mart
The caf??짤 is closed where our names were carved on that corner booth
Yeah everything's changed except for the way I feel about you

That westbound to Santa Fe don't stop here anymore
You were one of the last to get on board
That street that we grew up on you wouldn't recognize
Girl nothing's been the same since you said good-bye

They put up a plant where we used to park
That ol' drive-in's a new Wal-Mart
The caf??짤 is closed where our names were carved on that corner booth
Yeah, everything's changed except for the way I feel about you

Brothers Wilber and Orville Wright
Built wings out of wood and steel
Folks said that thing'll never fly
They said, "watch, I bet it will"
We've been defyin' gravity now goin' on a hundred years
It was paper wings, faith, and dreams
That's how we got from there to here

A nickel brought a soda pop way back then
And a movie only cost a dime
He came home with a scar and a purple heart
She waited all that time
Today they'll cut a golden wedding cake
How'd they made it all those years?
It had to be tough; they just said it was love
That's how they got from there to here

You either do or you don't believe
That it can or can't be done
An ounce of faith and a touch of grace
And it can happen to anyone

Four boys, lots of noise, two-car garage
Hey, turn those guitars down
They couldn't know that the world would grow
In time to love that sound
They headed out, in a beat-up van
And a U-Haul packed full of gear
The road was long, but the will was strong
That's how they got from there to here

Yeah, they got a bus, but you can bet they'd walk
Just to hear another crowd cheer
It was a song and a prayer and a lot of luck and you
That got us from there to here

I got to have a shot of
What you got is oh, so sweet.
You got to make it hot,
Like a boomerang, I need a repeat.

Gimme all your lovin',
All your hugs and kisses too,
Gimme all your lovin',
Don't let up until we're through,

You got to whip it up
And hit me like a ton of lead
If I blow my top
Will you let it go to your head?

Gimme all your lovin',
All your hugs and kisses too,
Gimme all your lovin',
Don't let up until we're through.

You got to move it up
And use it like a screwball would.
You got to pack it up,
Work it like a new boy would.

Gimme all your lovin',
All your hugs and kisses too.
Gimme all your lovin',
Don't let up until we're through.

Gimme all your lovin',
All your hugs and kisses too.
Gimme all your lovin',
Don't let up until we're through.
Until we're through.

Gimme all your lovin'.
Gimme all your lovin'.
And your kisses too...

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away

Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

I've got this dream that won't go away
When I close my eyes your there night and day
Baby whatever it takes I've gotta find you

Are you someone I know or that I'll meet by chance
Are you somewhere close or in a far away land
Across the ocean or burnin' sand, I've gotta find you

I've gotta find you
Don't care how long it takes
I know when I do it'll be worth the wait
With God as my witness and love as my guiding star
Maybe Miami on some sandy beach
New York City making waves on wall street
No matter where you are
I've gotta find you
I've gotta find you

You could be a checker at the grocery store
For all I know you're the girl next door
One thing I know for sure, I've gotta find you

You might be a waitress workin' your way through school
Or the anchor person on the six o'clock news
Only my heart knows who, I've gotta find you

I've gotta find you
Ddon't care how long it takes
I know when I do it'll be worth the wait
With God as my witness and love as my guiding star
Maybe Miami on some sandy beach
New York City making waves on wall street
No matter where you are
I've gotta find you
No matter where you are
I've gotta find you
I've gotta find you

Christmas lights up the city
Roof tops covered in snow
Lovers sharing a sleigh ride cuddled close
And their eyes seem to glow

Window shopping on main street
Bundled up head to toe
Children are skating around a Christmas tree
I see smiles young and old

If everyday could be Christmas
What a wonderful world it would be
We could carry this feeling within us
All through the year
If everyday could be Christmas

Church bells ring in the distance
Peace on earth fills the air
Sidewalk Santa's handing out candy canes
I feel love everywhere

If everyday could be Christmas
What a wonderful world it would be
We could carry this feeling within us
All through the year
If everyday could be Christmas

Oh it's that time
We open and give from our hearts
Let love shine brighter than any star

Oh if everyday could be Christmas
What a wonderful world it would be
We could carry this feeling within us
All through the year
Oh if everyday could be Christmas
If everyday could be Christmas
Yeah if everyday could be Christmas
If everyday could be Christmas

I drove a beat up tractor down a one lane road
Pick her up early and away we'd go
Down to the river by the edge of her daddy's farm
We used to lay in the shade of a cottonwood tree

Back of my mind I thought she'd be
The one who'd spend forever in my arms
She said there's gotta be more to life
I don't want to be some farmer's wife

Don't want a John Doe on a John Deere
There's a whole lotta boys like you around here
I want to hear love songs in my ear
Don't want a John Doe on a John Deere
Not a John Doe on a John Deere

Well she packed her things and left this town
And I kept working this rock hard ground
Wondering if she ever thought about me
Then she called collect from San Antone

Just to hear some news from home
She laughed about how good things used to be
This big city ain't good for me
I'll meet you down by the cottonwood tree

I need a John Doe on a John Deere
There ain't a lot of boys like you around here
I want to hear love songs in my ear
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
Want a John Doe on a John Deere

I need a John Doe on a John Deere
There ain't a lot of boys like you around here
I want to hear love songs in my ear
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
Want a John Doe on a John Deere

Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Take me anywhere you want to go
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll

I gotta admit it's been wrecked a time or two
A little T.L.C. and it'll be brand spanking new
Honey slide on in, I'll let you take it for a spin
You'll like the way it feels when you get behind the wheel

Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Take me anywhere you want to go
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll

If you hear little knocking it might be skipping a beat
When it's hugging those curves, it just might overheat
It's got a lifetime guarantee, a hot rod built for speed
So go ahead and let if fly, you'll love the way it rides

Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Take me anywhere you want to go
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll

Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute
How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink
Faster than a flower blooms, they grow up all too soon

[Chorus]
So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh, just let them be little

I've never felt so much in one little tender touch
I live for those kisses, prayers, and your wishes
Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see
Every night while we're on our knees all I ask is please

Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh, just let them be little

So innocent, a precious soul
You turn around
It's time to let them go

[Chorus]

Let them be little

Tell me what I have to do tonight
'Cause I'd do anything to make it right
Let's be us again

I'm sorry for the way I lost my head
I don't know why I said the things I said
Let's be us again

Here I stand
With everything to lose
And all I know is I don't want to ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reaching out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Let's be us again

Oh us again

Look at me, I'm way past pride
Isn't there some way that we can try
To be us again
Even if it takes a while
I'll wait right here until I see that smile
That says we're us again

Here I stand
With everything to lose
And all I know is I don't want to ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reaching out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Let's be us

Baby baby what would I do
I can't imagine life without you

Here I stand
With everything to lose
And all I know is I don't want to ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reaching out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in

Oh, here I am
I'm reaching out for you
So won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Let's be us again

Oh let's be us again

Box speaker talkin' out a tune
Two for one on a blue lagoon
Another lost and found

Bartender takes another pass
Puts the salt on the rim of another glass
And he sits it down

I know every color of every neon sign
Flashing out a heartache in the back of my mind

Down at the lonely grill
Got nothing but time to kill at the end of everyday
I sit in a corner booth and do nothing but think of you
And the love we threw away
And I guess I always will
Down at the lonely grill

Sad-eyed waitress called Betty Lynn
Got her order pad and her ball-point pen
Said what'll it be

I said a tall glass of cold regret
A full order of loneliness
Like every night this week

I'll shoulder my pride and I drank it down
Another smoke filled evening with no fire to be found

Down at the lonely grill
Got nothing but time to kill at the end of everyday
I sit in a corner booth and do nothing but think of you
And the love we threw away
And I guess I always will
Down at the lonely grill
Lonely grill
I sit in a corner booth
And do nothing but think of you
And the love we threw away
And I guess I always will
Down at the lonely grill
Lonely grill
Down at the lonely grill
Down at the lonely grill
Down at the lonely grill
At the lonely grill

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lost my job, came home mad
Got a hug and a kiss and that's too bad
She said, "I can go to work until you find another job"
I thought I like the sound of that
Watch TV and take long naps
Go from a hard working dad to being Mr. Mom

[Chorus]
Well, Pampers melt in the Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time
Breakfast at six, naps at nine
There's bubblegum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
And it's only Monday, Mr. mom

Football, soccer, and ballet
Squeeze in scouts and P-T-A
And there's that shopping list she left
That's seven pages long
How much smoke can one stove make?
The kids won't eat my charcoal cake
It's more than any man can take being Mr. Mom

Well, Pampers melt in the Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the sixteenth time
Breakfast at six, naps at nine
There's bubblegum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
And it's only Monday, Mr. mom

Before I fall in bed tonight
If the dog didn't eat the classifieds
I'm gonna look just one more time

'Cause Pampers melt in the Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the eighteenth time
Breakfast at six, naps at nine
There's bubblegum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
Oh, been crazy all day long
And it's only Monday, Mr. Mom

Oh Mr. Mom
Balancing cheque books, juggling bills
Thought there was nothing to it
Baby, now I know how you feel when
What I don't know is how you do it
Oh
Honey, you're my hero

Who knows where this road will end
What you're gonna miss?
Life's not long enough
To spend it on regrets
All I know is what I'm seein' in your eyes
Hold me close before the moment passes by

[Chorus]
If ever there was a night
If ever the time was right
It's now
Nothing else matters
If ever a meant to be
Truly was meant to be
It's us
Right here, right now

Say a million other dreams
Haunt you in your sleep
It's hard to know which ones
Are the ones that you should keep
But look around
Don't get caught up in the past
Put your faith in the ones you think will last

[Chorus]

If ever there was a night
If ever the time was right
It's now
Nothing else matters
If ever there was a night
If ever the time was right
It's now
Nothing else matters
If ever a meant to be
Truly was meant to be
It's us
Right here, right now
Right now
Now

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees,
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born
O night divine,
O night, O night divine,

The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees,
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born
O night divine,
O night, O night divine,

O holy night

Only you can make this world seem right
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

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
You're my dream come true
My one and only you

Bells will be ringing the sad, sad news
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again

Crowds will be singing "Silent Night"
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas,
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's night

Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
For this is Christmas, yes, Christmas my dear
It's the time of year to be with the one you love

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year's will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, I'll be happy, once again

There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy Christmas, once again

The shepherds are lit
A star in the sky
On the outskirts of town
A new baby cries
No room at the end
No crib to be found
Oh but look at him now

He is the reason for the season
He is the light that shines on our lives
The baby Jesus born in God's grace
So we all might rejoice on this day
He is the reason for the season

It is a time for presents and toys
Tales of Saint Nick
Tidings of joy
As we celebrate the miracle birth
Oh right here on this earth

He is the reason for the season
He is the light that shines on our lives
The baby Jesus born in God's grace
So we all might rejoice on this day
He is the reason for the season

He's the reason for the giving
The joy thats never ending
That comes on Christmas morning in the eyes of a child
It's what it means to me and you
That's the true meaning of this time
Oh this time

He is the
He is the reason for the season
He is the light that shines on our lives
The baby Jesus born in God's grace
So we all might rejoice on this day

He is the reason for the season
He is the light that shines on our lives
The baby Jesus born in God's grace
So we all might rejoice on this day
He is the reason for the season

I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus
To see what I could see
He took me to his workshop
And told his plans to me. So

[Chorus]
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin to town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're a wake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin to town

Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
You'd better write your letter now
And mail it right away
Because he's getting ready
His reindeers and his sleigh. So

[Chorus]

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

Your heart's been broken, you don't want to open up to me
But can't you see
All that you're needing is someone to believe in you
And when you are no longer afraid
Darlin' I'll be just one word away

Say when, I'll be there by your side
For a day, for a year, for the rest of my life
I know you're not ready
But someday your heart's gonna mend
I'll give you love without end
Say when

Could be tomorrow, maybe a little farther down the road
Your heart will know
My love is timeless and you're gonna find it's true
And no matter how long it takes
If it means holding you I can wait

Say when, I'll be there by your side
For a day, for a year, for the rest of my life
I know you're not ready
But someday your heart's gonna mend
I'll give you love without end
Say when

I know you're not ready
But someday your heart's gonna mend
I'll give you love without end
Say when, say when

Got us a situation
It don't need no explanation
It don't take a scientist
To figure out just what this is
Unlike the changing seasons
Love happens without reason

It's as simple as that
Two people meet it's destiny that they're together
It's as simple as that
I knew when I met you that this would last forever
It's as simple as that
And I can promise you that I will leave you never
I'm happy right where I'm at
It's as simple as that

It's how I feel when you call my name
It's holdin' hands in the pouring rain
A slow dance that never ends
The sweet sound of violins
And even when we're apart
You beat around in my heart

It's as simple as that
Two people meet it's destiny that they're together
It's as simple as that
I knew when I met you that this would last forever
It's as simple as that
And I can promise you that I will leave you never
I'm happy right where I'm at
It's as simple as that

It's as simple as that
Two people meet it's destiny that they're together
I knew when I met you that this would last forever
And I can promise you that I will leave you never
I'm happy right where I'm at
It's as simple as, it's as simple as that

It's as simple as that
It's as simple as that
It's as simple as that

I still remember the night we met
You said you loved my smile
But your love for me was like a summer breeze
Oh it lasted for a while
I could hold on a little tighter I know
But when you love someone gotta let'em go

So I'm gonna smile
Cause I wanna make you happy
Laugh
So you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

Kiss me once for the good times, baby
Kiss me twice for good bye
You can't help how you don't feel
And it does'nt matter why
give me a chance to bow out gracefully
'Cause that's how I want you to remember me

I'm gonna smile
Cause I want to make you happy
Laugh
So you cant see me cry
I'm gonna let you go Style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

I'm gonna smile so you can find the courage
Laugh,
so you wont see me hurtin'
I'm gonna let you go Style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna
Smile

Turn to the six o'clock news--another soldier dies
Tried to hide it, but I couldn't help it: I had to cry
When my little boy asked me, "daddy, was he your friend"
I said, "no, I didn't even know him"

[Chorus]
But he was somebody's someone, a neighbor, a husband
A brother, a father, and a mother's only son
He was an uncle, a cousin, somebody's best friend
And I'm sure at times a shoulder to lean on
He was somebody's someone

So I sat there in that chair and helped him understand
How this brave young man gave his life for our land
And although he's someone we'll never know
To you and me he is a hero

[Chorus]

To the world he was a total stranger
Who kept us safe and out of danger
But now he's just a picture on TV
Somebody's memory

[Chorus]

He was somebody's someone

I like your look in that sweater
All warm and bundled up tight
But I keep picturing something a little different tonight
I see you in a bikini
One lazy toe in the pool
Laid back and sippin' on something long, tall, and cool

Yeah, I can't wait for a warm breeze blowin'
Green grass growin' and the bright sunshine
Short sundress with your long legs showin'
I can't wait for the summertime
Oh, the summertime

I'm gonna find us some tickets
To a tropical isle
You just see if your mama can keep the kids for a while
We'll take our drinks with umbrellas
We'll take a room with a view
I'm gonna take my sweet time makin' love to you
That's what I'm gonna do

I can't wait for a warm breeze blowin'
Green grass growin' and the bright sunshine
Short sundress with your long legs showin'
I can't wait for the summertime
Feel your body next to mine
In the summertime

Yeah, I can't wait for a warm breeze blowin'
Green grass growin' and the bright sunshine
Short sundress with your long legs showin'
I can't wait for the summertime

Oh, I can't wait for a warm breeze blowin'
Green grass growin' and the bright sunshine
Short sundress with your long legs showin'
I can't wait for the summertime
Feel your body next to mine
In the summertime
Summertime, summertime
In the summertime

Monday was a bummer, Tuesday was another day
They could've left out of the week
Wednesday nearly got me, Thursday all but stopped me
I was broken down and beat
Then I started feelin' strong when Friday finally came along

T.G.I.F you know what that means
Get down to the beach A.S.A.P
Yea, there's gonna be a party goin' all weekend
Polynesian Polly and her parrot head friends
Gonna stay until there's not a pina colada left T.G.I.F

Yea, there's ain't no stoppin' once the band starts rockin'
With them shaker things and big steel drums
Don't worry half as much about the tide risin' up
As we do 'bout getting low on rum
So bury me in the sand, put a frozen drink in my hand

T.G.I.F you know what that means
Get down to the beach A.S.A.P
Yea, there's gonna be a party goin' all weekend
Polynesian Polly and her parrot head friends
Gonna stay until there's not a pina colada left T.G.I.F

Yea, T.G.I.F you know what that means
Get down to the beach A.S.A.P
Yea, there's gonna be a party goin' all weekend
Five O'clock none stop the fun begins
T.G.I.F., you know what that means
Get down to the beach A.S.A.P
Yea, there's gonna be a party goin' all weekend
Polynesian Polly and her parrot head friends
Gonna stay until there's not a Pina Colada
Stay until there's not a pina colada left T.G.I.F

So you say your love´s about to end
You say you can´t take no more
She´s out the door
And your looking for a friend

Who am I to tell you why
But I´m just curious, were you furious
Or did you swallow your pride
And look her in the eye and

Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss
She may never know unless you
Show her what you're feeling
Tell her you´re believing
Even though it´s hard to say
´Cause she needs to know you´re thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her

Brother I´ve been right where you are now
And my heart was broke
´Cause I never spoke
Those healing words out loud

But I´ve learned my lesson well
And now every night
Before I close my eyes
I look at my woman and
I ask myself did you

Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss
She may never know unless you
Show her what your feeling
Tell her you´re believing
Even though it´s hard to say
´Cause she needs to know you´re thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her

Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss
She may never know unless you
Show her what your feeling
Tell her you´re believing
Even though it´s hard to say
´Cause she needs to know you´re thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her

It's the way you twist a curl into your hair
As you sit there unaware of how beautiful you are
It's the music that I always seem to hear
When you bring yourself to tears from laughing way too hard
And when we're slowly dancing and you slip off your shoes
Don't you know, baby, just like everything you do

[Chorus]
That gets me; that just gets me every time
Right here inside this heart of mine
You open up your world and lay your love out on the line
That gets me; that just gets me every time

It's the way you say your prayers before you sleep
Then you curl up next to me and we hold each other close
And you tell me with your eyes that you'll never let me go
And that may be the moment that I love the most
When you make me feel like no other man exists
And when I taste the power and surrender of your kiss

[Chorus]

Right here inside this heart of mine
You open up your world and lay your love out on the line
That gets me; that just gets me every time
Oh, that gets me; that just gets me every time

That gets me
It's the way you twist a curl into your hair
As you sit there unaware of how beautiful you are
It's the way you say your prayers before you sleep
Then you curl up next to me
Oh, that gets me
That gets me

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's 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

So I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

So I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

Presents underneath the tree
Candles burning bright
Stockings hung with lots of care
On this silent Christmas night
What makes this season magical
Is what made my dream come true
Just seeing you
To be here with you

[Chorus]
Oh this Christmas time
Is the best one ever
The greatest gift in life
Is you and me together
And I thank heaven for sending you here tonight
This Christmas time

Some people hope for rings of gold
All that money buys
Children have their list of toys
Prayin' Santa gets it right
The one thing I wish for
Came true when you walked in
To hear you laugh again
To see you smile again

[Chorus]

Oh this Christmas time
Is the best one ever
The greatest gift in life
Is you and me together
And I thank heaven for sending you here tonight
Sending you here tonight
This Christmas time

The sign in the window said for sale or trade
On the last remaining dinosaur Detroit made
Seven hundred dollars was a heck of a deal
For a four hundred horsepower jukebox on wheels

And that road rolls out like a welcome mat
I don't know where it goes but it beats where we're at
We always said someday somehow
We were gonna get away gonna blow this town

What about now, how 'bout tonight
Baby for once let's don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends
That we've been talkin' about
What about now, why should we wait
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round
What about now

We've been puttin' this off baby long enough
Just give me the word, and we'll be kickin' up dust
We both know it's just a matter of time
'Til our hearts start racin' for that county line

What about now, how 'bout tonight
Baby for once let's don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends
That we've been talkin' about
What about now, why should we wait
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round
What about now

We could hang around this town forever making plans
But there won't ever be a better time to take this chance

What about now, how 'bout tonight
Baby for once let's don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends
That we've been talkin' about
What about now, why should we wait
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round
What about now
What about now

What Child is this, who lays to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him praise,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;
Come, peasant king, to own Him.
The King of Kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him praise,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, oh haste to bring Him praise,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

We've been through enough tequila
To float us outta this place
And through the smoke I can barely see ya'
But I've memorized your face
We've danced almost every dance
Lasted longer then the band
Oh but we're not through
It's just me and you

What do we do with the rest of the night
We got all of this time on our hands
Hey a lot can go down 'fore the sun comes up
Between a woman and a man
No we don't have to worry 'bout the rest of our lives
But what do we do with the rest of the night

We can take this party down to the river
Lay a blanket on the grass
Watch the stars tangle up together
While the night slides past
We can do what we want to do
Roll away that book of rules
We'll make our own
Hey nothing's carved in stone

What do we do with the rest of the night
We got all of this time on our hands
Hey a lot can go down 'fore the sun comes up
Between a woman and a man
No we don't have to worry 'bout the rest of our lives
But what do we do with the rest of the night

What do we do with the rest of the night
We got all of this time on our hands
Hey a lot can go down 'fore the sun comes up
Between a woman and a man
No we don't have to worry 'bout the rest of our lives
But what do we do with the rest of the night

What do we do with the rest of the night

I hear the sound of gentle rain
Like teardrops on the windowpane
A priceless smile in a wooden frame beside the bed
I stare at the ceiling and talk to the walls
I lay here alone and imagine it all
As a river of memories rushes through my head
I can almost taste your kiss as I think about how much I miss

Your hungry eyes, your satin skin
The sound of your voice whisperin'
The love I feel inside your heart
When you're wrapped up in my arms so close
That's what I miss the most

I try to rest, but sleep won't come
My body aches and my mind is numb
Shadows fall as the morning sun begins to rise
Another day without you here
Has it been weeks or has it been years
I find it getting harder to keep track of time
I breath in and I breath out
But it's getting tough to live without

Your hungry eyes, your satin skin
The sound of your voice whisperin'
The love I feel inside your heart
When you're wrapped up in my arms so close
That's what I miss the most
What I miss the most

I can almost taste your kiss as I think about how much I miss
Your hungry eyes, your satin skin
The sound of your voice whisperin'
The love I feel inside your heart
When you're wrapped up in my arms so close
That's what I miss the most

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend he is Parson Brown
He'll say, Are you married?
We'll say, No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town

Later on
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down

When it snows
Ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
The Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Yeah we're walking in a winter
Yeah we're walking in a winter
We're walking in a winter wonderland
Wonderland
Winter wonderland

I guess just about everything I've ever done
I've been tryin' to impress or get close to one of 'em
Seems like I was about thirteen
Bobbi Jo Guthrie was the pumpkin queen
That night I realized for the very first time
Women rule the world

[Chorus]
The way they talk, the way they giggle
The way they walk, the way they jiggle
Makes men buy 'em diamonds and pearls
That look when they're up to something
Soft touch, oh, that lovin'
They're sexy when they're mamas
Cute when they're girls
Women rule the world

We men like to think we're in control
We all want to be big shots
We like to think we run the show
The truth is with just the right smile
You ladies know you can drive us wild
Those mini-skirts and the way you flirt
You know just what works
Women rule the world

[Chorus]

In all shapes and sizes
They make my temperature rise
Style and brains, the whole shebang
I'm here to say, women rule the world

That look when they're up to something
Soft touch, oh, that lovin'
They're sexy when they're mamas
Cute when they're girls
Women rule the world
Women rule the world
Women rule the world
Women rule the world

You say I'm aggressive, too possessive
It's too soon, too much
You want to wait around, slow it down, but I'm burnin' up
What can I do to get through to you, I know that you're the one
'Cause there's no controllin' this emotion, it's bigger than us

You don't know what love is
If you think that I can fight this feeling
Keep my true heart from revealing
Everything inside
You don't know what love is
If you hear me say your mine forever
Feel our two hearts beat together
And think you can resist
You don't know what love is

It's soft and gentle, it's sentimental
Can't you feel it too
There's no denyin' or compromising, it's perfectly true
It's overpowering, it's all around me when I'm around you

You don't know what love is
If you think that I can fight this feeling
Keep my true heart from revealing
Everything inside
You don't know what love is
If you hear me say your mine forever
Feel our two hearts beat together
And think you can resist
You don't know what love is

I see you smile and girl I'm sure I've found it
Heaven knows there's just no doubt about it now

You don't know what love is
If you think that I can fight this feeling
Keep my true heart from revealing
Everything inside
You don't know what love is
If you hear me say your mine forever
Feel our two hearts beat together
And think you can resist
You don't know what love is
You don't know what love is
You don't know what love is
You don't know what love is

Everybody's talkin' 'bout the supermodel world
Cindy, Naomi and that whole bunch of girls
Redheads, brunettes and blondes with blue eyes
They come in every shape yea they come in every size

You know I love everything they do
I check 'em out on every Pay-Per-View
Oh, but honey that was way before I met you
And then

[Chorus]
You walked in with legs up to your neck
You walked in I'm a physical wreck
You walked in I've lost my cool babe
But what'd you expect
When you walk in baby love begins
When you walk by baby ooh my my
When you come around, my jaw hits the ground
When you shake your thing I jump outta my skin
When you cross the floor I scream "more baby more"
When you flash your smile you drive me wild
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea

Everybody's checkin' out the glossy magazines
Madonna, Diana, you know the whole scene
The covergirls, the centerfolds and every movie star
And all those pretty ladies down there at the local bar
I couldn't think of nothin' better to do
Than checkin' out a little wiggle or two
Oh, but honey that was way before I met you
And then

[Chorus]

I couldn't think of nothin' better to do
Than checkin' out a little wiggle or two
Oh but honey that was way before I met you

When you walk in baby love begins
When you walk by baby ooh my my
When you come around, my jaw hits the ground
When you shake your thing I jump outta my skin
When you cross the floor I scream "more baby more"
When you flash your smile you drive me wild
Yeah, yeah you drive me wild

When you walk in baby love begins
When you walk by baby ooh my my
When you come around, my jaw hits the ground
When you shake your thing I jump outta my skin
When you cross the floor I scream "more baby more".
