*When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

**All by myself Don't wanna be
all by myself anymore

Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself Don't wanna be
all by myself anymore
All by myself Don't wanna live
all by myself anymore

* Repeat

** Repeat

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself any more

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don't wanna live all by myself anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just fun
Those days are gone

Don't wanna live by myself
By myself anymore anymore (by myself)

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself any more

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don't wanna live all by myself anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just fun
Those days are gone

Don't wanna live by myself
By myself anymore anymore (by myself)

I've been down about as low as anyone can get
The whole world was closin' in
Couldn't find a friend
No one else could help me
Had to walk through the fire alone
Life has brought me to my knees
And faith has led me home

Let the storm rage around me
I will stand, I will fight
And when the darkness surrounds me
I will make my own light
I may not win every battle
But I'll get stronger with every fear I face
And I'll be brave

I can be courageous and still be so afraid
I've discovered pain is the beginning to a change
Somewhere deep inside us
There's a strength we don't know we have
Just when you think you can't go on
Suddenly there's a path

Let the storm rage around me
I will stand, I will fight
And when the darkness surrounds me
I will make my own light
I may not win every battle
But I'll get stronger with every fear I face
And I'll be brave

Every time I get back up it gets harder to knock me down
'Cause my soul's on steady ground

Let the storm rage around me
I will stand, I will fight
And when the darkness surrounds me
I will make my own light
I may not win every battle
But I'll get stronger with every fear I face
And I'll be brave

I'll be brave

Down in the Delta there's a tattoo parlor
With a black and white picture hangin' on the wall
Oh, oh of a stripper
The men are still talkin' 'bout the rainy night she walked in
Took off her shirt like it was nothin' at all
Oh, oh what a picture
Everyone assumed she'd been drinkin'
When she pointed to her shoulders
And said, boys, here's what I'm thinkin'

Put a devil on the left, an angel on the right
I'm already livin' in the middle of the fight
And round and round and round and round it goes
Part of me's in heaven, part of me's in hell
Part of me is strugglin' tryin' to find my way through life
With a devil on the left and an angel on the right

Down in the Delta there's a rundown chapel
With a worn out floor where a preacher used to pray
Oh, oh for the stripper
While right across the street they were packed in tight
Just a-pushin' and a-shovin', sweatin' by the stage
Oh, oh to tip her
She brought a lot of men to their knees
But only one of them was thinkin'
Lord, won't you help her please

She's got a devil on the left, an angel on the right
They've got her dancin' in the middle of the fight
And round and round and round and round she goes
Part of her's in heaven, part of her's in hell
Part of her is strugglin' trying to find her way through life
With a devil on the left and an angel on the right

In a cornfield in Kansas there's a little yellow house
With a white picket fence going all the way around
Oh, oh mama what's that on your shoulders
No, no, no child, maybe when you're older

Now there's an angel on the left, an angel on the right
Ring around the rosie underneath the open sky
And round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round they go

I don't know what brought us here
But I know there's no easy way out
One thing is perfectly clear
I can't live alone in that house
Enough is enough
I don't have the answers, I don't know the reasons
Or where we got lost, but I still believe
We can find our way back, baby just

Follow me home tonight, follow me through the door
We can start starting over, I don't wanna fight like this anymore
Baby, just take my hand, give us another chance
We've both made mistakes, but it's not too late
To let it go, let it go, and follow me home tonight

Your boots are waitin' in the hall
The bed's been so cold since you left
Sometimes I talk to the wall
Yeah, it sounds crazy I guess
But enough is enough
There's no magic words that can fix all our problems
But if we're not together, how can we solve 'em
Lay down your pride, baby just

Follow me home tonight, follow me through the door
We can start starting over, I don't wanna fight like this anymore
Baby, just take my hand, give us another chance
We've both made mistakes, but it's not too late
To let it go, let it go, and follow me home tonight

Home, to that same sweet place, where love still lives
And my heart is waitin', oh I'm waitin'
Follow me home, follow me home, follow me

Baby, just take my hand, give us another chance
We've both made mistakes, but it's not too late
To let it go, let it go
Baby, let it go, let's go
Follow me home tonight
Follow me home

Wake up, ninety miles an hour
Take the world's fastest shower
Coffee black,microwave it
I'm at at my best caffeinated
Out the door, pick up the pace
I'm here, I'm there, I'm everyplace

That's how it goes
A day in my life
I'm on my toes
From morning to night
Livin' like this
Some might say it's
So exhaustin' frenzied, manic
Call me nuts but I like it frantic

I'm not built for relaxing
I get bored without some action
One speed is all I know
Seize the day,yeah that's my motto
Maybe someday,I'll slow down
Maybe someday,but for now

That's how it goes
A day in my life
I'm on my toes
From morning to night
Livin' like this
Some might say it's
So exhaustin' frenzied,manic
Call me nuts but I like it frantic

Things I haven't done
Keep me on the run
But time sure does fly
When you're having so much fun

That's how it goes
A day in my life
I'm on my toes
From morning to night
Livin' like this
Some might say it's
So exhaustin' frenzied,manic
Call me nuts but I like it frantic

Oh,I like it frantic
Oh,I like it frantic
Yeah,I like it frantic
That's how it goes
I like it frantic

I've been starin' all day at the same computer screen
Around here I'm treated like I'm just some damn machine
I punch in
I tune out
Nobody cares what I'm all about
But at five that ends
They're waitin' for me
My girlfriends

Yeah yeah yeah
We're gonna get loud
No doubt
We're gonna get crazy
Yeah yeah yeah
Who cares if we do some damage to our reputation
Guys can come and go
Life can turn around
And let you down
So fast
But if you need that one sure thing that's gonna last
Girlfriends kick ass

(See the thing about a girlfriend is)
It doesn't even matter if I show up in a bad mood
They're gonna make me laugh and change my attitude
Here's to one more
And me and my girls out on the floor
We'll dance all night long
So come on mister DJ play our song

Yeah yeah yeah
We're gonna get loud
No doubt
We're gonna get crazy
Yeah yeah yeah
Who cares if we do some damage to our reputation
Guys can come and go
Life can turn around
And let you down
So fast
But if you need that one sure thing that's gonna last
Girlfriends kick ass

When we're together I can't help feelin' fine
Oh yeah everything's all right
Tomorrow's comin'
It'll be here soon enough
But nothin's buggin' us tonight

Yeah yeah yeah
We're gonna get loud
No doubt
We're gonna get crazy
Yeah yeah yeah
Who cares if we do some damage to our reputation
Guys can come and go
Life can turn around
And let you down
So fast
But when you need that one sure thing that's gonna last
Girlfriends kick ass

Oh yeah
Talk about my girlfriends
Come on come on
Talk about my girlfriends
You know it baby
Talk about my girlfriends
Talk about my girlfriends

Her little blond hair's blowin', she's swingin' while her daddy's mowin'
The grass, and the dog needs a bath
But he's chasing the cat up a tree
I'm lookin' out the window, happy just watching my world go round
And I think to myself, how lucky can a girl be

I've got everything, more than I ever dreamed
I love my life
I thank God for all I have
And that I love this man
Who loves his wife
I love my life
I love my life

Twenty kisses goodnight, turn the little butterfly night light on,
'til the monster is gone and she's finally fallen asleep
We tiptoe downstairs, cuddle up and we kiss in the big chair
and I smile and you whisper, now it's just you and me

I've got everything, more than I ever dreamed
I love my life
I thank God for all I have
And that I love this man
Who loves his wife
I love my life
I love my life

Blue and pink in the nursery
Gold and silver anniversaries
Dancing in the living room
Our little girl, and me and you

I've got everything, more than I ever dreamed
I love my life
I thank God for all I have
And that I love this man
Who loves his wife
I love my life
I love my life

What I'm feeling,time is gonna heal it
I've been hearing that for so long now
They say I'll move on,got to try and be strong
Life will go on, I'll get through this somehow
Oh,but how,when

I'm still waiting
For you to come back
If you could only come back
I'm aching
For you to walk through that door
And hold me once more
But you won't
Still I go on
Waiting

It was a Sunday,we buried you in the rain
I never knew pain 'til that first night alone
Opened your closet, breathed you in and lost it
The truth of it, baby, finally hit home
No, you're not coming home but

I'm still waiting
For you to come back
If only you could come back
I'm aching
For you to walk through that door
And hold me once more
But you won't
Still I go on
Waiting

Wish you could talk to me somehow
Tell me, what do I do now
I'm still waiting

I'm still waiting
For you to come back
If you could only come back
I'm aching
For you to walk through that door
And hold me once more
But you won't
Still I go on
Waiting

I'm aching
For you to walk throught that door
And hold me once more
But you won't (you won't)
Yeah,I know (I know)
That you won't (you won't)
Still I go on
Waiting

How you been, boy you're lookin' good
Are you still livin' down in Birmingham
Funny how things didn't turn out like we thought they would
Now here we are standin' face-to-face again
Two old long lost friends
Laughin' 'bout when we'd sing

"Born in the USA"
And we'd scream it at the top of our lungs
Remember how you'd always say
You were gonna change the world
And yeah, I would always be your girl
And we dreamed about runnin' away
Just takin' off and chasin' the sun
Man, we really had it made
We were young, in love and free
And so naive, so naive

Where'd it go, all that crazy confidence
You and me, not afraid to face a thing
Wish we could go back and live again the hours spent
In your car cruisin' like we owned the town
Yeah, we'd turn that song up loud
And we'd drown Bruce out singin'

"Born in the USA"
And we'd scream it at the top of our lungs
Remember how you'd always say
You were gonna change the world
And yeah, I would always be your girl
And we dreamed about runnin' away
Just takin' off and chasin' the sun
Man, we really had it made
We were young, in love and free
And so naive, so naive

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
We were tender, we were green, so much we hadn't seen
We were wide-eyed and innocent and so naive singin'

"Born in the USA"
And we'd scream it at the top of our lungs
Remember how you'd always say
You were gonna change the world
And yeah, I would always be your girl
And we dreamed about runnin' away
Just takin' off and chasin' the sun
Man, we really had it made
We were young, in love and free
And so naive, so naive

Oh man, we really had it made
We were so naive
We were so naive

I been walkin' through life with a bullet proof vest
Shielding emotions, acting like I couldn't care less
I kept love at a distance my defenses were locked & alert
Then you say hello and the next thing I know
I'm ready to risk being hurt

Chorus: No more protecting my heart now darlin'
My soul is out of the dark now yes it is
I'm settin' my sails, tail winds prevail & I'm on my way
You've got me lettin' my guard down baby
I wanna see what love has to offer me
I'm showin' all my cards
No more protecting my heart

I been guilty of sayin' no when I could have said yes
My heart's history, well it hasn't been the best
But this time I'm trusting in somebody other then me
I built the walls tall, now there gonna fall
Got no more secets to keep

(Repeat Chorus)

I been waitin', hesitatin', treadin' water, tryin' to stay afloat
But now I'm headin' in the right direction finally filled
with hope

No more protecting my heart

You've got me lettin' my guard down baby
I wanna see what love has to offer me
I'm showin' all my cards
No more protecting my heart
Baby, I'm ready to start
No more protecting my heart

I worked a little while in a little town in Colorado
But the winters were just a little bit too long
So I decided California was the place that I'd go
And I was gone
Fell in love, got my heart broke down in San Diego
I was off and driftin' any way the wind was blowin'
That was then, way back when
I didn't have a clue where I was goin'
No, I had no way of knowin' I was

On my way to you
There were things I didn't understand
I didn't see the plan
But now I do
There were no mistakes and no bad moves
No, I wouldn't change a thing that I went through
On my way to you

What if I'd have stayed an extra day or left a week too early
Who's to say my path and yours
Would have had a chance to cross
At the time I couldn't see the line
Connectin' each and every little dot
Keepin' me from getting lost

On my way to you
There were things I didn't understand
I didn't see the plan
But now I do
There were no mistakes and no bad moves
No, I wouldn't change a thing that I went through
On my way to you

I'm glad I didn't chance direction, no
Not one minute or a second

On my way to you
There were things I didn't understand
I didn't see the plan
But now I do
There were no mistakes and no bad moves
No, I wouldn't change a thing that I went through
On my way to you

She wakes up some days life is cruel
She's on a chain gang sittin' in a typing pool
And her brain feels all dragged down
The gossip flies, the coffee's stale
She wants to run outside and scream like hell
'Til it turns her luck around
Doesn't matter how insane it gets
She's got one dream and her sights set, she says

I'm just waitin' for it
I'm just makin' sure that my heart's steady as a drum
Brighter days are dawnin'
My faith's holding strong, and I'll be ready when it comes

He drives around the block a thousand times
He can't go home 'til he clears his mind
And his supper's cold by now
The doctor's words crash through his ears
About a treatment plan and a lot of years
He will live to see somehow
He gathers all his friends and family
He says, wrap your lovin' arms around me

I know I can do this
Love will get me through this, my heart's steady as a drum
Brighter days are dawnin'
My faith's holding strong, and I'll be ready when it comes

One light shinin' that is brighter than the sun
Way down deep inside the heart of everyone
I reach past my troubles for the strength to carry on
And find that what I need was right there all along

I'm just waitin' for it
I'm just makin' sure that my heart's steady as a drum
Brighter days are dawnin'
My faith's holding strong, I'll be ready when it comes

Yes, I will
Gonna be ready now
Yeah, I'm gonna be ready now
When it comes, when it comes
My faith is holding strong
Brighter days are dawnin'
My faith is holding strong, and
I'm gonna be ready when it comes

What is this thing you do
Makes me just tell the truth
Whenever I turn to you I surrender
Fears that I've tried to hide
And every old alibi
Now I see a source of light
Just within my reach

You are my sanctuary
My beacon in the night
You opened up your heart
You let me walk inside
When the world is turnin' crazy
I run to your embrace
Only you can save me
I've finally found a place
To lay down the load that I carry
You are my sanctuary

Don't know what brought us here
But one thing I know is clear
I traveled a trail of tears just to find you (find you)
Now when I'm on the brink
Down to my weakest link
And the weight makes me sink
Down to my knees

You are my sanctuary
My beacon in the night
You opened up your heart
You let me walk inside
When the world is turnin' crazy
I run to your embrace
Only you can save me
I've finally found a place
To lay down the load that I carry
You are my sanctuary

Now love seems so easy
You are my everything
So simple you touch me
My worries drift away

You are my sanctuary
My beacon in the night
You opened up your heart
You let me walk inside
When the world is turnin' crazy
I run to your embrace
Only you can save me
I've finally found a place
To lay down the load that I carry
You are my sanctuary

Oh you are my sanctuary

She looks in his eyes
He looks away.
She chalks it up as another-one-of-those-days
If there's a reason he's coming home late,
She hasn't heard it yet.

She warms up his dinner,
But he can't eat.
She makes conversation,
But he doesn't speak.
He shakes his head as the silence screams.
'Cause she hasn't heard it yet.

Chorus:
If only love could cry out loud
It'd be enough
To send this old house crashin' down.
Still she'll choose to turn her head
'Cause it's easier to deny
Than to admit he's been tellin' her goodbye
And she hasn't heard it yet.

He tosses and turns in his eazy chair.
While she's sound asleep in the bed upstairs.
But her heart is breakin' then and then
And she hasn't heard it yet.

He leaves his ring as souvenir
Says so long to himself in the hallway mirror.
He's just closed the door on eighteen years.
And she hasn't heard it yet.

Chorus:
Yeah, It's easier to deny
Than to admit he's been telling her goodbye.
And she hasn't heard it yet.
No, no
She hasn't heard it yet.

Don't know how you do it
Like there's nothing to it
You just look my way
You come a little closer
I lose my composure
Don't know what to say
I'm overwhelmed, you smile, I melt
And somewhere inside
Oh, baby, I

Shiver, tremble, I never
No I never once felt so much
It shakes me how you take me
Deeper then I've ever been
It's to the core, under my skin I
Shiver

I love the way your whisper
Slowly, softly lingers
In my ear
You move a little lower
The world starts spinning slower
Then it disappears
Your lips so close, we kiss almost
Just barely touch, but that's enough
To make me

Shiver, tremble, I never
No I never once felt so much
It shakes me how you take me
Deeper then I've ever been
It's to the core, under my skin I
Shiver

It shakes me
How you take me
Deeper tthen I've ever been
It's to the core, under my skin I

Shiver, tremble, I never
No I never once felt so much
It shakes me how you take me
Deeper then I've ever been
It's to the core, under my skin I
Shiver
Shiver

She's never pulled anybody from a burning building
She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans screaming out her name
She's never hit a shot to win the game
She's never left her footprints on the moon
She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride around the world
No she's just your everyday average girl (but)

She's somebody's hero
A hero to her baby with a skinned-up knee
A little kiss is all she needs
The keeper of the Cheerios
The voice that brings Snow White to life
Bedtime stories every night
And that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero

She didn't get a check every week like a nine-to-fiver
But she's been a waiter and a cook and a taxi driver
For twenty years there at home
Until the day her girl was grown
Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition
But now her baby's movin' on and she'll soon be missin' her
But not today
Those are tears of joy runnin' down her face

She's somebody's hero
A hero to her daughter in her wedding dress
She gave her wings to leave the nest
It hurts to let her baby go down the aisle
She walks right by
Looks back into her mother's eyes
And that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero

Thirty years have flown right past
Her daughter's starin' at all the photographs
Of her mother
And she wishes she could be like that
Oh but she already is

She's somebody's hero
A hero to her mother in a rockin' chair
She runs a brush through her silver hair
The envy of the nursing home
She drops by every afternoon
Feeds her mama with a spoon
And that smile lets her know
Her mother's smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero

A family that loves me
More friends then i can count
Got that job i always wanted
Nothing to complain about
I know i've got so much going
Still i've got so much gone
CHORUS
The only thing wrong in my life
Are the arms that don't hold me
Through the long lonely nights
The only thing wrong in my life
Is you're not in it baby
I ought to simply move on
And shrug off your goodbye
But it's hard to see the future
Through these tears in my eyes
The sun never shined so brightly
But one cloud blocks out the light
CHORUS
My world was close to prefection
'til the day you said goodbye
CHORUS
CHORUS
The only thing wrong
Is your're not in it baby
Your're not in it baby

He promised her a new and better life
Out in Arizona
Underneath the blue neverending sky
Swore that he was gonna
Get things in order
He'd send for her
When he left her behind
It never crossed her mind

There is no Arizona
No Painted Desert, no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find there is no Arizona

She got a postcard with no return address
Postmarked Tombstone
It said, "I don't know where I'm goin' next
But when I do I'll let you know"
May, June, July
She wonders why
She's still waiting
She'll keep waiting

'Cause there is no Arizona
No Painted Desert, no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find there is no Arizona

Each day the sun sets into the west
Her heart sinks lower in her chest
And friends keep asking when she's going
Finally she tells them, don't you know

There is no Arizona
No Painted Desert, no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find there is no Arizona

He promised her a new and better life
Out in Arizona

To be with you
I would risk a thousand lifetimes
To be with you
There's no mountain that I wouldn't climb
If you're the sky
Let me be the cloud that runs right through you now
You don't know just how I need to

Be with you there can be no substitute
To be with you
I've tried to hide my passion but it's
Just no use
Piece by piece I lose it when you
Walk in the room
How can I get through
If I can't be with you

Everytime I close my eyes I see your face
I taste you on my lips
Every night I fantisize
That I can feel you on my
Fingertips

To be with you, there's
nothing that I wouldn't do
I'm powerless
Swept under by your sweet caress
I'm fadin' fast
One look at you and I forget just who I am
I come unglued if I can't
be with you

Everytime I close my eyes
I see your face I taste you on my lips
Every night I fantisize
That I can feel you on my fingertips
(This verse once more)

To be with you
I would risk a thousand lifetimes
There's no mountain I wouldn't climb
To be with you, to be with you
Everytime I close my eyes
Everynight I fantisize about you baby
and you're right here with me
I would risk a thousand lifetimes.... To be with you.

I hear he's out there
Somewhere
Been looking for him everywhere
From Roswell to Timbuktu
I thought I found him once at a Jiffy Lube
But it turned in
To a dead end
So I got my oil changed and I tried again
He was a major in archaeology
I was digging on him but he wasn't on me
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is
Like trying to find Atlantis

It's a mystery
Like the deep blue sea
You can take it
You can leave it
But I still believe
So I won't give up
And I won't give in
I know I'm gonna find him
I just don't know when
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is
Like trying to find Atlantis

I met a mystic down in Memphis
We stood at the foot of the pyramid
He had me looking east
He had me looking west
Then he sold me a map and said I wish you the best
There was Elvis
Not the real one
When he told me goodbye he called me hon'
Just another shot in the dark
Like El Dorado or Noah's Ark
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is
Like trying to find Atlantis

It's a mystery
Like the deep blue sea
You can take it
You can leave it
But I still believe
So I won't give up
And I won't give in
I know I'm gonna find him
I just don't know when
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is
Like trying to find Atlantis

Oh yeah it is
It's a mystery
Like the deep blue sea
You can take it
You can leave it
But I still believe
So I won't give up
And I won't give in
I know I'm gonna find him
I just don't know when
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is
Like trying to find Atlantis

I said a girl trying to find herself the perfect man is
Like trying to find Atlantis
Trying to find Atlantis
Yeah
Oh I'm still trying to find Atlantis
Atlantis

It's a mystery
Like the deep blue sea
You can take it
You can leave it
But I still believe
So I won't give up
And I won't give in
I know I'm gonna find him
I just don't know when
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is
Like trying to find Atlantis
Like trying to find Atlantis

Did you know when
You were holding me
By that fire in Jacksonhole
That you were gonna let me go
Did you know when
We were flying home
I was falling hard for you
I thought you were the one
Were you only having fun

When did you know
We were looking at forever
How could we be so close
And still not be together
Every dream I believed
Has now come down to just one question
When did you know it wasn't love
When did you know it wasn't me

How ccan you make a woman feel that way
While you never feel a thing
Why did you do that to me
How can you keep your heart set on freeze
While you set my soul on fire
I don't understand it yet
I'm still trying to catch my breath

When did you know
We were looking at forever
How could we be so close
And still not be together
Every dream I believed
Has now come down to just one question
When did you know it wasn't love
When did you know it wasn't me

Oh, every dream I believed
Has now come down to just one question
When did you know it wasn't love
When did you know it wasn't me

Why does the color of my coffee match your eyes?
Why do I see you when a stranger passes by?
I swear I hear you in the whisper of the wind
I feel you when the sun is dancin' on my skin
and when it's raining, you won't find me complaining cause

Chorus:
When I think about rain, I think about singing
When I think about singing it's a heavenly tune
When I think about heaven, then I think about angels
When I think about Angels, I think about you

The taste of sugar sure reminds me of your kiss
I like the way that they both linger on my lips
Kisses remind me of a field of butterflies
It must be the way my heart is fluttering inside
Beautiful distraction, you make every thought a chain reaction

chorus

Anywhere I go, anything I do
everything around me, baby, makes me think of you

chorus 2x

ohhh ohh ohhhh
when I think about you baby
yeah, yeah

I think about you

Say goodbye
Maybe that's one way to go
Walk away and say it's over
Call it history
Do I believe that we'd be better off apart?
Can I see my world without you in it?
Baby, not for a single minute

Let the moon give up the night
All the stars leave heaven on high
The sun would burn out before I'd ever lose you
We can get over any wall
If we have to fly, run, climb, or crawl
Love will always lead us back
Where we belong

Just today
I woke up shakin' from a dream
I got a glimpse of life without you
All the good was gone
Then I realized you were lying next to me
I knew right then, baby, come whatever
When the going gets tough we'll face it together

Let the moon give up the night
All the stars leave heaven on high
The sun would burn out before I'd ever lose you
We can get over any wall
If we have to fly, run, climb, or crawl
Love will always lead us back
Where we belong

Baby, all we got to do is reach out
No laying blame, no guilty party
Lay our daggers down on the ground
Hold each other and say we're sorry

Let the moon give up the night
All the stars leave heaven on high
The sun would burn out before I'd ever lose you
We can get over any wall
If we have to fly, run, climb, or crawl
Love will always lead us back
Where we belong

Yeah love's gonna lead us back
Where we belong

I was a traveler travellin' alone
Crossin' that desert they call the unknown
Lost in a valley of shadows and sinking sand
Hopeless was circling over my head
Patiently waiting for my last step
I was a desperate woman in no man's land
Like an angel of mercy, emotional saviour
You took me in your arms and out of danger

Chorus:
You rescued me in the nick of time
I was right on the edge of goin' out of my mind
I was runnin' on empty down to a crawl
Facing a future with no one at all
And just before I found out
How life without love could be
You rescued me

The mind can play tricks when you're wanderin' out there
Making up visions out of thin air
That's why I thought I was dreamin' when you appeared
But your touch had feeling, your kisses were real
Your voice echoed like a song on a hill
Somehow you knew what my heart needed to hear
Like an angel of mercy, emotional savior
You took me in your arms and out of danger

Repeat Chorus 3 times
