I stood before God, my family and friends
And vowed that I'd never love anyone else again
Only him

As pure a s my gown of white I stood by his side
And promised that I'd love you till the day I died
Lord, please forgive me even though I lied
'Cause you're the only one who knows just how hard I tried

I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands
The woman in my needed the warmth of a man
The gold turned cold in my wedding band
It's just a ring on your finger
When there's time on your hands

When I add up all the countless nights I cried myself to sleep
And all the broken promises you somehow failed to keep
He can't blame me

He's the one who left me too many times alone
In a three bedroom prison
I tried to make a home
My love slowly died but the fire inside still burned
And the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn

I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands
The woman in my needed the warmth of a man
The gold turned cold in my wedding band
It's just a ring on your finger
When there's time on your hands

You believe
that I've changed your life forever
And you're never gonna find
another somebody like me

And you wish
you had more than just a lifetime
to give back all I've given you
And that's what you believe

But I owe you
the sun light in the morning
and the nights of all this loving
that time can't take away
And I owe you
more than life now, more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt
I'll ever have to pay

I'm amazed when you say
it's me you live for
You know that when I'm holding you
you're right where you belong
And my love, I can't help but smile

with wonder when you tell me
all I've done for you
Cause I've known all alone

But I owe you
the sun light in the morning
and the nights of all this loving
that time can't take away
And I owe you
more than life now, more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt
I'll ever have to pay

oh... I owe you
the sun light in the morning
and the nights of all this loving
that time can't take away

and I owe you
the sun light in the morning
and the nights of all this loving
that time can't take away

Lonely lady living down the hall
Don't you have any friends at all
I never hear a knocking at your door
Could it be you just don't try anymore?
You've been hurt so seriously
You act so cold but it's so easy to see
You're a waste of real good love
But you can't hide or run fast enough

[Chorus]
Somebody's gonna love you, no matter what you do
Somebody's gonna find all the pieces of a broken heart
Hidden inside of you
Somebody's gonna touch you, it's just a matter of time
And if you're ever gonna try love again, it might as well be mine

I know exactly how a heartache feels
It's gonna take a little time to heal
Why must you hide away inside yourself
You could mean so much to someone else
Every night while you're sittin' at home
You may be lonely but you're not alone
There's a whole world full of people out there
Waiting on someone like you to care

[Chorus: until fade]

(Jan Crutchfield)

It's over; I left the door unlocked again
But this time someone new walked in
When she was all alone
He told her that there was much more life to see
Than she would ever see with me
Now she's going, going, gone

It's over; I never thought I'd see this day
When everything would walk away
That I depended on
God, he'll hold her to make sure she don't change her mind
I've lost her all the way this time
She's going, going, gone

I should have paid attention; there were many warning signs
But I just never thought she'd walk away
Now here I stand in silence
Just the echo of the words I heard her say

She said it's over & much too late to change her mind
I've lost her all the way this time
She's going, going, gone

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I?d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I?d thank my lucky stars,
to be living here today.
?Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can?t take that away.

And I?m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I?m free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
?Cause there ain?t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and it's time we stand and say.

That I?m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I?m free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
?Cause there ain?t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I?m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I?m free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
?Cause there ain?t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA

To me you are the hand that I reach for
When I've lost my way
To me you are the first star of evening
The sun that warms my day

Just as sure as I'm sure there's a heaven
This was meant to be
No road is too long
As long as you belong to me

To me you are the truth I believe in
I believe in you
To me you are the love I have looked for
My whole life through

Just as sure as I'm sure there's a heaven
This was meant to be
No road is too long
As long as you belong to me

Just as sure as I'm sure there's a heaven
This was meant to be
No road is too long
As long as you belong to me

(Timmy Tappan/Don Roth)

If I only knew then what I know now
You wouldn't be sayin' goodbye
But I let you down, I was never around
When you needed me there by your side
I took a perfect love & gave you a perfect heartache
I took a band of gold & made a 24-carat mistake
& turned it into...

CHORUS:
Fool's gold, and I was a fool 'cause I let you go
Fool's gold, yes I was a fool 'cause I didn't know
Too many times I just didn't try
Now all I hear is you sayin' goodbye
Starin' at an empty hand full of fool's gold

If I'd spent the time just holdin' you tight
& sharin' my feelings with you
Then you'd understand what's inside of this man
& you'd know what I'm goin' through
I know that I was wrong now that it's too late
I took a band of gold & made a 24-carat mistake
& turned it into...

(chorus)

I would pick and we would sing to the rhythm of that front porch swing
The moonlight holds the spotlight that we shared
I found new notes on that old guitar, she believed I could be a star
She told me that she wanted to be fair

She said, I love you more than to hold you down, boy you're glory bound
We can't share a world with different dreams
So I chased mine and she found hers too, but someone else made hers come true
Now I'm a star, but every time I sing

[Chorus]
My heart goes drifting down a dusty Dixie road
Taking my mind, back in time
L.A. lights burn like hell once you know
You left heaven waiting down the Dixie road.

Every night I'm in a different place and I'm searching every stranger's face
Trying to find the girl that's just not there
She's back there in Montgomery and I'm clear across the country
But whenever I'm alone I go back there.

[Chorus: Repeats]

Come let me hold you for awhile,
All you have to do is smile
And I'm yours again
I may not like some things you do
But they're all a part of you
And you're my best friend

(chorus)
I don't mind the cold
When I have a fire to warm me
I don't mind the rain
Cause it makes the flowers grow
I can take the bad times
When you wrap your love around me
I don't mind the thorns when you're the rose

Stay, we can work the whole thing out
That's what loves about
And I understand
You didn't mean the things you said
They're so easy to forget
When you take my hand

(repeat chorus)

If it was anybody else
I would be gone
But you're so beautiful to me
Oh that I keep on holding on

(repeat chorus)

Well, I don't mind the thorns, when you're the rose...

(Steve Diamond/Steve Dorff/Dave Loggins)

If I never say the words you wanna hear
When I hold you near
Maybe they get said another way
A kiss can mean as much to me as words could ever do
You know I live for you
You shouldn't ever doubt how I feel about you

CHORUS:
Don't underestimate my love for you, darlin'
It's always there, it's just the way care
If you believe in me, then show more faith in us
Don't underestimate my love

When you have a need for me & I'm not there
You wonder if I'm where
I could meet someone who'd take me from you
In you heart & soul you know I'm the one you can't lose
You know I live for you
You shouldn't ever doubt how I feel about you

(chorus x2)

[Chorus]
Oh it tears me up when you go all to pieces
Your cryin' eyes say you've been hurt enough
Tryin' hard don't always make it easy
Cause hearts aren't made to break, they're made to love

Lately all I do is think about you
It's weighin' like a stone inside my mind
I know I've taken you for granted
And left your heart hangin' on the line

[Chorus]

Your love is finally gettin' to me
I can't believe the things I've done
And still you're standin' here beside me
The fool and the faithful one

[Chorus]

Oh hearts aren't made to break, they're made to love

There's a quiet time in the early dawn
Before the mornin' paper, before the coffee's on
When there ain't much movin' in the world outside
Oh I'd love to take a mornin' ride
My baby knows it's the time we share
She wakes me gently, brushes back her hair
And she moves into my arms sweet and slow
I can't wait to get up and go
Gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride
When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountainside
'Bout an hour, maybe two
Ain't nothin' me and her would rather do
Than see the green grass glist'nin' in the mornin' dew
While the world's still damn spankin' new
Oh I know how beautiful the day will be
When she takes a mornin' ride with me
And when we get back, it will feel so right
To just lay back and linger in the mornin' light
Then she'll smile at me, thinkin' where we've been
Wantin' me to take her again
I'm gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride
When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountainside
For an hour, maybe two
Ain't nothin' me and her would rather do
Than see the green grass glist'nin' in the mornin' dew
While the world's still damn spankin' new
Oh I know how beautiful the day will be
When she takes a mornin' ride with me
Oh I'm gonna take my baby on a mornin' ride
When the sun comes slippin' 'round the mountainside
'Bout an hour, maybe two
Ain't nothin' me and her would rather do
...and fade
