One More Moment
03:50
|
|||
|
First time I saw you,
I had to say hello.
You had something that I wanted,
I knew because my heart told me so.
Beating, needing,
One more moment with you.
How many times have we said good night,
Then I turn and walk away?
Let's take a chance, yes, you and I
Find out what our hearts have to say?
Beating, needing,
One more moment with you.
One more lazy summer day
One more rainy afternoon
One more chance for me to have
One more moment with you
I held my breath, I didn't say a thing,
You said "yes" so quietly.
I never knew my heart could sing
I can hear it, now, deep inside of me,
Beating, needing,
One more moment with you

Betsy Blue

Everything you do it's like a dream come true,
Hello happiness.
Betsy Blue, I want you, baby you're the best.
That little smile drives me wild
My heart is pounding in my chest.
Betsy Blue, I want you, baby you're the best.
Sweeter than a home made pie,
Pretty as a summer sky
There's fire in your eyes/
It's love at first sight, night after night,
That's as crazy as it gets.
Betsy Blue, I want you, baby you're the best.
Everything you do it's like a dream come true,
Hello happiness.
Betsy Blue, I want you, baby you're the best.
Betsy Blue, I want you, baby you're the best.
Baby you're the best, baby you're the best
Baby you're the best.

To Be in Love
02:49
|
|||
|
Every thing I see, sings to me,
The stars are humming up above.
Oh, the mystery, of that melody,
Is this what it's like to be in love?
This is all brand new, all this me and you,
And those sparks that fly when we touch.
I've got one question about that connection,
Is this what it's like to be in love?
Someone flipped a switch
Without me knowing it,
There's a sudden light shining down on us.
No explanation, oh, sweet sensation
Is this what it's like to be in love?
What else can it be?
Honestly, I knew instantly,
Sure feels good 3x
to be in love.

I'm drifting like a cloud, without a worry or a care
Something has changed, I can feel it in the air.
We danced way past midnight and made love out in the rain,
It looks like nothing will ever be the same.
This old town a little while ago was a tired,humdrum place,
Four corners and a stoplight, spinning round through space.
The everyday now fades away every time you call my name,
It looks like nothing will ever be the same.
All my dreams are bright, shiny new,
All I ever dream about is - you.
When I'm holding you, I'm holding on to time,
That's what my heart keeps telling my mind
I don't care about the where or why, I'm just happy that you came.
It looks like nothing will ever be the same.

Falling
03:32
|
|||
|
Walking along with you by my side
I'm stepping off the edge from way up high
Off I go, into the blue,
I can't help it, what can I do?.
I'm falling, falling for you
Your smile, and that look in your eye,
I'm dancing on the clouds drifting by
I'm going crazy, I'm so confused,
And then you kissed me, that's when I knew
I'm falling, falling for you
I'm not denying,
I'm dropping like a rock.
Kind of feels like flying,
And I don't want it to stop.
The things you do to my heart.
With just the magic of who you are
The birds are singing, my heart is too,
Nothing but air under my shoes
I'm falling, I'm falling,
Falling, falling, falling for you.

Saying Nothing
02:53
|
|||
|
Another night in dog house hell, you young, crazy fool,
Totally avoidable, if you'd followed one simple rule.
There's a lot to be said about saying nothing
You can't unsay all that mean and nasty cussin'
Stop, don't even think about saying something,
There's a lot to be said about saying nothing.
Zip your lip up tight, when you want to scream and shout,
That's the only way I know to keep your foot out of your mouth.
CHORUS
In the heat of the moment
You'll say stuff that'll mess you up
Don't give in to temptation,
Unless you like sleeping in your truck
There's a lot to be said about saying nothing
But knowing you, that's a major adjustment
Stop don't even think about saying something,
There's a lot to be said

Love of My Life
02:23
|
|||
|
Where are you going, she said to me,
I told her "I don't know, would you like to come and see"?
We took off for somewhere, no idea when we'll arrive.
She's with me for the long ride, the love of my life
Sometimes she follows, most times she takes the lead,
I like it best when I see her there, right in front of me.
She's a get it done now lady, there's only do, there's no try,
No ifs, buts or maybes, the love of my life.
Not much for conversation, but what she says sure makes sense.
Cuts right to the chase, not a big fan of suspense.
The constant surprise, of those green Irish eyes,
Pretty as a sunrise, the love of my life.
She's a burning ember, a blazing, white hot spark,
One touch from her sets fire to my heart.
Night after night, it's paradise,
She's the angel of my mornings, the love of my life.

Mediocre
03:44
|
|||
|
Perfection it's over rated,
Too much trouble, too complicated.
Those type A Nazi's, think they've got it right.
You're only human that’s a matter of fact,
If you fall short, well, what's wrong with that?
Let the less than perfect be your guide.
Some folks want to swing for the fences,
That kind of nonsense is just plain senseless,
There's a whole lot more
Three than four leaf clovers
Be like me and set your sights lower,
It's easy, being mediocre.
Self-esteem why care about that?
You're either too skinny or a little too fat
You can't help being who you are.
You think you can make your dreams come true,
You gotta be joking, take a look at you!
Your arms are too short to go reaching for the stars.
I'm proud to be an under achiever,
I've got no deadlines to meet no expectations either.
My first place trophy, my one award,
The prize I won back in eighty four,
Every loser got one too, just like me.
Hard work doesn't matter, so I gave it up,
Now I'm a happy little bug in my own cozy rut
Sometimes things just work out, perfectly.
Some folks want to swing for the fences,
That kind of nonsense is just plain senseless,
There's a whole lot more
Three than four leaf clovers
Be like me and set your sights lower,
Learn to live and love just good enough,
There's nothing to prove, moreover, It's so easy,
being mediocre.
(spoken)... and "yes" that's the best that I can do. y
