This song helped me through some very rough times years ago. I had forgotten about it until last night. It is a song to think about when you feel depressed or burden. along with God's help, the words helped me alot.

STEP BY STEP: Whitney Houston

Well, theres a bridge and theres a river
That I still must cross
As Im going on my journey
Oh, I might be lost
And theres a road I have to follow
A place I have to go
But no one told me just how to get there
But when I get there Ill know
cause Im taking it...

(Chorus....)
Step by step
Bit by bit
Stone by stone
Brick by brick
Step by step
Day by day
Mile by mile
Go your own way

And this old road is rough and ruin
So many dangers along the way
So many burdens might fall upon me
So many troubles I have to face
But I wont let my spirit fail me
But I wont let my spirit go
Until I get to my destination
Im gonna take it slow
Because Im taking it...

Chorus

Say baby, dont give up
Youve got to hold on to what youve got
Oh, baby, dont give up
Youve go to keep on moving
Dont stop
Yeah, yeah
I know youre hurting
I know youre blue
I know youre hurting
But dont let the bad things get to you
Im taking it...

Chorus

heres to her golden voice

Bridge Over Troubled Waters

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes I'll dry them all
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

When you're down and out, when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
I'll take your part when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way
See how they shine, oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind

Give me one more shot - Alabama

Life ain't all that easy I can testify to that
It's been up and down and round and round to get to where I'm at
If you could see how I'm living in this old car I drive
Well you'd probably wonder and even ponder why I even wanna stay alive

So give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got
Let me open my eyes to a new sunrise I pray
Give me one more chance I'll learn to dance the dance
Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day

Well I could complain about taxes or the weather we're having today
Go on and on about things that are wrong from New York to L.A.
Well that's just not my nature to sit around feeling sad
We're only here for awhile so why not smile hey living ain't all that bad

So give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got
Let me open my eyes to a new sunrise I pray
Give me one more chance I'll learn to dance the dance
Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day

When I look around there's lots of folks worse off than me
So I just thank the good Lord and ask him please

So give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got
Let me open my eyes to a new sunrise I pray
Give me one more chance I'll learn to dance the dance
Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day

Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day

Give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got
Give me one more day
Show me the way and give me one more day
Give me one more shot

I'm sorry i didn't get a chance to check back till now.
I know the song and i think your right. Whitney has a beautiful voice and a good range too although i think Dolly Parton has a wider range Whitney is very good.

did dolly do that song too?

No i believe not that one.....they did do the same song but i can't remember which one it was.

dolly is actually a wonderful woman in person

The River - Garth Brooks

You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores...and

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide...yes

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all...yes

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry

I have a song for you that i heard today always makes me cry. It's by Extreme and it's called "More than words"

i don't know that group....i will look for it though. i'm a country girl myself lol

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
Its not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldnt have to say that you love me
Cos Id already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldnt make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now Ive tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close dont ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldnt have to say that you love me
Cos Id already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldnt make things new
Just by saying I love you


that is beautiful

yeah i listen to country too, you should try other genres also there are so many beautiful songs that are like todays country you might like them. God i'm glad i didn't send you a clutch song or something heavier
