Spent my life looking for Happiness like it was buried treasure Somewhere behind the secret door Surely there were riches beyond measure I would take my sanity to task Walk across broken glass, to find it And no mountain top was left unclimbed Before I ever took the time to look inside me
These dreams of mine, these precious years Oh, how they shine like diamonds and tears The slow grace of time, the joy and the fears Oh, how they shine like diamonds and tears
Oh, sure, there was love And of course I thought it'd be my salvation And in a way, I guess he was There's always room for higher education Yes, I have said and heard the word goodbye Felt the blade and turned the knife, sideways But I'd crossed bridges while they'd burn To keep from losing what I've learned, along the way
These dreams of mine, these precious years Oh, how they shine like diamonds and tears The slow grace of time, the joy and the fears Oh, how they shine like diamonds and tears...
The wind is blowing from a new direction If you're thinking 'bout going, I know It's been a long season, and hard on our affections But that's no reason to let go
You change just like the weather But the weather you know will always change If you stay it'll get better Wherever you go it's bound to rain
So put on your jacket and stand your ground Love's gonna have its highs and lows If we turn and face it, the wind will come around You don't have to chase it when it blows
You change just like the weather But the weather you know will always change If you stay it'll get better Wherever you go it's bound to rain
You change just like the weather But the weather you know will always change If you stay it'll get better Wherever you go it's bound to rain
Seems like after all we've been through, We would've learned by now Never to fight for who gets the last word, It doesn't matter anyhow But round and round we go in circles, Trying to work things through Sometimes it feels like miles between us, But I keep comin' back to you
And it's rough, and it's tough, And it's harder than anything I've ever tried to do But I love you so much That in spite of the struggle I keep comin' back to you
Hold me now, just think about This room that we've shared so long We've studied the map of cracks in the ceiling, Talking till the break of dawn Oh, there is something strong as history, Telling me this love is true It says, follow your heart, And you'll be happy, So I keep comin' back to you
And it's rough, and it's tough, And it's harder than anything I've ever tried to do But I love you so much That in spite of the struggle I keep comin' back to you
And it's rough, and it's tough, And it's harder than anything I've ever tried to do But I love you so much That in spite of the struggle I keep comin' back to you...
The sun comes creeping Chasing away shadows of last night You're still sleeping, I'm facing the day Things look so different in the light.
Someday you're gonna love me, I see it in your eyes When I held you in the darkness, I could believe those lies Now the sun is up, it's morning and you don't love me still It finally dawned on me, you never will.
Look at you how real it all seems I still feel your touch Well, I'm through believing this dream I guess I'm finally waking up.
Someday you're gonna love me, I see it in your eyes When I held you in the darkness, I could believe those lies Now the sun is up, it's morning and you don't love me still It finally dawned on me, you never will.
Hold on, you said hold on There's no use crying when it's done Another day has just begun.
Now the sun is up, it's morning and you don't love me still It finally dawned on me, you never will...
I didn't mean to get this close It feels too right And I'll think straighter tomorrow If I don't hold you tonight I realize it's time for me to go But it seems only fair to let you know.
Of all the things I've wanted to do and never done You'd be the one. And if you want to know how close I'd ever come You'd be the one.
Looking at it honestly I guess I knew I opened up this door But I can't let you walk through I have too much to lose if I fall But if it means anything at all.
Of all the things I've wanted to do and never done You'd be the one. And if you want to know how close I'd ever come You'd be the one.
I wear this ring to tell the world I love one man But you and I almost got out of hand.
Of all the things I've wanted to do and never done You'd be the one. And if you want to know how close I'd ever come You'd be the one.
Of all the things I've wanted to do and never done You'd be the one. And if you want to know how close I'd ever come You'd be the one...
All alone at the end of the evening And the bright lights have faded to blue I was thinking about the one man who might love me I never knew.
You know I've always been a dreamer, Spend my nights running round And it's so hard to change, can't seem to settle down But the dreams I've seen lately They're all turning out, and burning out, And turning out the same.
So put me on a highway and show me a sign And take it to the limit one more time.
You can spend all your time making money You can spend all your love making time If it all fell to pieces tomorrow Would you still be mine.
And when you're looking for your freedom, Nobody seems to care And you can't find the door, can't find it anywhere When there's nothing to believe in.
Still you're coming back you're running back, You're coming back for more Put me on a highway, show me a sign And take it to the limit one more time.
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit Take it to the limit one more time.
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit Oh you can take it to the limit one more time.
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit Take it to the limit one more time.
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit Take it to the limit one more time...
We believed in fairy tales that day I watched your father give you away Your aim was true a pink bouquet It fell right into my hands
We danced for hours and we drank champagne You screamed and laughed when I got up and sang And then you rode away in a white Mustang To your castle in the sand
Through the years and the kids and the jobs And the dreams that lost their way Do you ever stop and wonder Do you ever just wanna say
Hey,Hey Cinderella what's the story all about I've got a funny feeling We missed a page or two somehow Oh, Cinderella maybe you could help us out Does the shoe, fit you now
Your older but no more the wise But learn the art of compromise Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry And sometimes we just break down
We're good now 'cause we have to be We come to terms with our vanity Sometimes we still curse gravity When no one is around
Yeah, I don't gather dust in the corner of the attic Bicycle rusting in the rain Still we walk in the fabled shadow Sometimes we call her name
Hey, Hey Cinderella what's the story all about I've got a funny feeling We missed a page or two somehow Oh, Cinderella maybe you could help us out Does the shoe, fit you now
Hey, Cinderella maybe you could help us out Does the shoe, fit you now Fit you now Oh, Cinderella (Cinderella) Does it fit you now Cinderella (Cinderella) Ohh, Cinderella (Cinderella) Fit you now (Cinderella) Oh - Oh - Oh - Ooo...
Set out like Kerouac in my American car Carrying a dream and a road map Deep in my American heart Where's those mountain majesties, Where's those waves of grain Billboards from sea to shining sea, man it ain't the same.
They got Mount Rushmore on a cup, Everybody needs one of those For a dollar more they'll fill it up, You can drink out of Lincoln's nose They got the Hard Rock t-shirts, they got Elvis too Sooner or later, mark my words, they're gonna get you.
Well, I've been searching for the promised land But it's just another neon come-on roadside stand Little tin toys that fall apart, that's all they got here I come all this way to find my heart, all I get is souvenirs.
Baby, I believed in you, I thought you believed in me I thought we had a love that's true, not a close facsimile Now I don't want your dime store ring, It turns my finger green I don't want your dime store love, I want the real thing.
'Cause I've been searching for the promised land But it's just another neon come-on roadside stand Little tin toys that fall apart, that's all we got here I come all this way to find my heart, all I get is souvenirs.
I don't know why we act like that You hurt me, I only hurt you back I can't believe how carelessly we say those things That put our love in danger.
You wouldn't say that to a stranger, we hurt the ones we love When we say those words in anger, do we ever make it up We say what we don't mean and then we say we're sorry later But you wouldn't say that to a stranger.
Last night, there was over in the air Toda,y it's gone just like it was never there And I don't know where those hateful words come from It goes against our nature.
You wouldn't say that to a stranger, we hurt the ones we love When we say those words in anger, do we ever make it up We say what we don't mean and then we say we're sorry later But you wouldn't say that to a stranger.
Let's pretend that we just met. And we said nothing we regret.
We say what we don't mean and then we say we're sorry later But you wouldn't say that to a stranger...
In my heart there always crept a jealousy that never'slept It lived on calls that never came and whispers of another's name But your love is a light that shines so honestly And now because of your true colors I can see.
No green eyes, no blue nights No jealous heart, no little white lies You showed me what love looks like I had the colors all wrong but now they're right No green eyes, no blue nights.
Your arms laid to rest the fear and let suspicion disappear There are no ghosts of lovers past just our love in the hour glass And what you give me is so constant and so surely mine That I can trust its unconditional this time.
No green eyes, no blue nights No jealous heart, no little white lies You showed me what love looks like I had the colors all wrong but now they're right No green eyes, no blue nights.
You showed me what love looks like No green eyes, no blue nights...
Just when I thought I had kissed love goodbye, And ridden off into the sunset, This hip shooting cowboy steps up and says: "Reach for the sky."
I could tell he was fast, I could tell he was smart; I could tell he was looking for trouble. He was fixing to take his best shot at my bullet proof heart.
I'm under the gun, I'm under attack. The sights are lined up, The hammer is back. I'm under the gun, And it's going down to the wire.
I'm under the gun, He's aiming to win. He's thinking he might, Get under my skin, If he hits me with his fire. I'm under the gun.
Just when I thought I had gotten away, With all of the hearts I had stolen, He looks in my eyes and says: "Crimes of the heart do not pay." It was too late to talk, it was too late to run, It was too late to hold up this showdown. It was already all said and done, I was under the gun.
I'm under the gun, I'm under attack. The sights are lined up, The hammer is back. I'm under the gun, And it's going down to the wire.
I'm under the gun, He's aiming to win. He's thinking he might, Get under my skin, If he hits me with his fire. Oh, I'm under the gun.
I'm under the gun, I'm under attack. The sights are lined up, The hammer is back. I'm under the gun, And it's going down to the wire. I'm under the gun...
