If you're callin about the car, I sold it If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling If you've got something to sell you're wasting your time, I'm not buying If it's anybody else, wait for the tone, you know what to do And P.S., if this is Austin, I still love you Blake Shelton If This Is Austin **For those of you who aren't familiar with the song, his wife left him and moved to Austin, and he waited for her until she finally called him a year later and heard that on his answering machine. Great song!!! I want a man like that. |

"I had a dream last night, That you came to me on silver wings and I, Flew away with you on a painted sky, And I woke up wondering what was real, Is it what you see and touch or what you feel? 'Cause you're still here Oh you're everywhere we've ever been, You're still here.. I heard you in a strangers laugh, And I hung around to hear him laugh again, Just once again.. Thought I saw you today. You were standing in the sun, then you turned away, Away..." "You're Still Here" by Faith Hill I got choked up just typing out the lyrics here...the song always makes me cry. |

This is the Jimmy Buffett most people don't know exist. Just think about the things that pass by in your life and try to live it to the fullest!
He went to Paris looking for answers To questions that bothered him so He was impressive, young and aggressive Saving the world on his own. But the warm Summer breezes The French wines and cheeses Put his ambition at bay And Summers and Winters Scattered like splinters And four or five years slipped away. Then he went to England, played the piano And married an actress named Kim They had a good life, she was a good wife Bore him a young son named Jim. And all of the answers and all of the questions He locked in his attic one day ‘Cause he liked the quiet clean country living And twenty more years slipped away. Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady And left him with only on eye His body was battered, his whole world was shattered And all he could do was just cry. While the tears were falling, he was recalling The answers he never found So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean And left England without a sound. Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin’s And drinks his green label each day He’s writing his memoirs and losing his hearing But he don’t care what most people say. Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion If he likes you he’ll smile then he’ll say Jimmy, some of it’s magic, some of it’s tragic But I had a good life all the way. And he went to Paris looking for answers To questions that bother him so |

I have one more to add... Don't think I don't think about it Don't think I don't have regrets Don't think it don't get to me Between the work, and the hurt, and the whiskey Don't think I don't wonder about Coulda been, shoulda been all worked out I know what I felt, and I know what I said But don't think I don't think about it Darius Rucker Don't Think I Don't Think About It this song sucks |

Newton Faulker - I Need Something
I need something to believe in Cause I don't believe in myself I'm sick and tired of getting nowhere Guess it'll all work out And I don't mind anymore And I don't mind anymore And I need someone to put my trust in Cause I ain't trusting myself And I'm scared of failure So scared of success Guess it'll all work out And I don't mind anymore And I don't mind anymore Great acoustic song, but chokes me up every time I hear it. |

"Anthem" by Leonard Cohen
I can't run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in |

"I have Nothing" - Whitney Houston
Share my life Take me for what I am Cuz I'll never change All my colors for you Take my love I'll never ask for too much Just all that you are And everything that you do I don't really need to look Very much farther I don't wanna go Where you don't follow I don't hold it back again This passion inside Can't run from myself There's nowhere to hide Chorus: Don't make me close one more door I don't wanna hurt anymore Stay in my arms if you dare Must I imagine you there? Don't walk away from me I Have Nothing Nothing Nothing, if i don't have you (you-oo, you-oo, you) You see through Right to the heart of me You break down my walls With the strength of your love (mm..) I never knew Love like I known it's with you Will the memories survive? One I can hold on to I don't really need to look Very much farther I don't wanna go Where you don't follow I don't hold it back again This passion inside Can't run from myself There's nowhere to hide You're the love I remember forever Repeat Chorus (2X) Don't walk away from me Don't walk away from me Don't you dare walk away from me I have nothing Nothing Nothing, if I don't have you You, if I don't have you |

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown? 'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun, Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won. So I took what's mine by eternal right. Took your soul out into the night. It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care. You touched my heart you touched my soul. You changed my life and all my goals. And love is blind and that I knew when, My heart was blinded by you. I've kissed your lips and held your head. Shared your dreams and shared your bed. I know you well, I know your smell. I've been addicted to you. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me.(x2) I am a dreamer but when I wake, [ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/bR ] You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take. And as you move on, remember me, Remember us and all we used to be I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile. I've watched you sleeping for a while. I'd be the father of your child. I'd spend a lifetime with you. I know your fears and you know mine. We've had our doubts but now we're fine, And I love you, I swear that's true. I cannot live without you. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me.(x2) And I still hold your hand in mine. In mine when I'm asleep. And I will bare my soul in time, When I'm kneeling at your feet. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me.(x2) I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow. I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow. |

The lines from the Prayer....
I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go. And help us to be wise in times when we don't know. Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way. Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace To a place where we'll be safe. |

He was walking her home – Mark Schultz http://www.onlylyrics.com/song.php?id=1004627 He was walking her home Holding her hand Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him Down that old road With the stars up above He remembers where he was the night he fell in love He was walking her home |

SATY IT AINT SO - WEEZER
Dear Daddy I write you in spite of years of silence You've cleaned up, found Jesus, things are good or so I hear This bottle of Steven's awakens ancient feelings Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Say it ain't so Your drug is a heartbreaker Say it ain't so My love is a life taker |

i cried the very first time I heard this song..
I move on like a sinners prayer And letting go like a levee breaks Walk away as if I don't care Learn to shoulder my mistakes Or built to fade like your favorite song Get reckless when there's no need Laugh as your stories ramble on Break my heart, but it won't bleed My only friends are pirates That's just who I am But I'm better as a memory than as your man Never sure when the truth won't bend And pretty good on a lonely night Or move on the way a storm blows through And never stay, but then again, I might. I struggle sometimes to find the words Always sure until I doubt Walk a line until it blurs Build walls too high to climb out But I'm honest to a fault That's just who I am I'm better as a memory than as your man I see you leaning, you're bound to fall I don't want to be that mistake I'm just a dreamer and nothing more You should know it before it gets too late Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel You never know where they're gonna land First you're spinning, then you're standing still Left holding a losing hand But one day you're gonna find someone And right away you'll know it's true That all of your sinking's done It was just a part of the passing through Right there in that moment you'll finally understand That I was better as a memory than as your man Better as a memory than as your man |

Beauty and the Beast
- written by Stevie Nicks **** You're not a stranger to me And you are something to see You don't even know how to please You say a lot...but you're unaware how to leave My darling lives in a world that is not mine An old child misunderstood...out of time Timeless is the creature who is wise And timeless is the prisoner in disguise Oh who is the beauty...who the beast Would you die of grieving when I leave Two children too blind to see I would fall in your shadow...I believe My love is a man who's not been tamed Oh...my love lives in a world of false pleasure and pain We come from difference worlds...we are the same (my love) I never doubted your beauty...I've changed I never doubted your beauty...I've changed Changed...who is the beauty Where is my beast (my love) There is no beauty Without my beast (my love) Who is the beauty Who... (my love) Ahhh... Oh...la bete...la bete Where is my beast My beauty...my beauty My beautiful...beautiful...beautiful Beautiful beast |

Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You
- written by Stevie Nicks, Keith Olsen ****** Has anyone ever written anything for you In all your darkest hours Have you ever heard me sing Listen to me now You know I'd rather be alone Than be without you Don't you know Has anyone ever given anything to you In your darkest hours Did you ever give it back Well, I have I have given that to you If it's all I ever do This is your song And the rain comes down There's no pain and there's no doubt It was easy to say I believed in you everyday If not for me Then do it for the world Has anyone ever written anything for you In your darkest sorrow Did you ever hear me sing Listen to me now You know I'd rather be alone Than be without you Don't you know So, if not for me, then Do it for yourself If not for me then Do it for the world Poet...priest of nothing Poet...priest of nothing |

Sara
- written by Stevie Nicks ***** Wait a minute baby. . . Stay with me awhile Said you'd give me light But you never told me about the fire Drowning in the sea of love Where everyone would love to drown And now it's gone It doesn't matter anymore When you build your house Call me home And he was just like a great dark wing Within the wings of a storm I think I had met my match--he was singing And undoing the laces Undoing the laces Drowning in the sea of love Where everyone would love to drown And now it's gone It doesn't matter anymore When you build your house Call me home Hold on The night is coming and the starling flew for days I'd stay home at night all the time I'd go anywhere, anywhere Ask me and I'm there because I care Sara, you're the poet in my heart Never change, never stop And now it's gone It doesn't matter what for When you build your house I'll come by Drowning in the sea of love Where everyone would love to drown And now it's gone It doesn't matter anymore When you build your house Call me home All I ever wanted Was to know that you were dreaming (There's a heartbeat And it never really died) |
