You were here last night as my last memory Now I open up my eyes to your smile I reach out and touch for confirmation To make sure you're not a figment of my mind To make sure you're not a figment of my mind All dressed in white and lace you stand before me I've got a promise and a ring to walk the aisle I reach out and touch for confirmation To make sure you're not a figment of my mind Read my mind and you'll see I can't forget you Touch my soul and fell the yearning I cannot hide Touch my heart and feel the flames of my desire Then I reach out

There was a day you couldn't help but cry Loneliness and life were passing by You put behind all your troubles and your blues It was a long and rocky road you had to lose It was the day you finally tried to smile You haven't seemed to try that for awhile It was the day you finally tried to smile It was the day that I noticed that you shine It ran a shiver up the middle of my spine Right then I knew that your heart belonged to me The more I looked it was plain to see It was the day you finally tried to smile You haven't seemed to try that for awhile It was the day you finally tried to smile Now you look back at your old touch of grey There were a lot of lost and lonely days That's when you smiled at me and turned it all around It's good the see now you have both feet on the ground It was the day you finally tried to smile You haven't seemed to try that for awhile It was the day you finally tried to smile

I've lived the good life and I've lived it well But the Lord knows I've stumbled, and I've been to hell I've started over so many times So tonight I think I'll start just one more time Because it's been a long and lonely Saturday night And I need my baby right here by my side Then everything gonna be alright I've walked the miles and I've paid my dues I was raised on country music, but I sing the blues Each day that you're not with me is just one more day gone So tonight I'm gonna sing the whole night long Because it's been a long and lonely Saturday night And I need my baby right here by my side Then everything gonna be alright

I see the way you look at me Tried to pretend but it didn't happen that way Now you're gone and I'm as lonely as can be Every time I think of all those foolish things I've done Like the time I said I didn't care Is that what put you on the run? I tried to make it better but things didn't turn out right Now you're gone, and I'm as lonely as can be Now you're gone, and I'm as lonely as can be

When I see and ocean it reminds me of home Watching the waves roll in, thinking of my mom Home is just an island, just a country little home In the North Atlantic seaway, Where the sun begins to glow It's a different way of life, simple to most folk With the seabirds flying overhead, And the sand upon the road The lighthouse shinin', on the point It's bringin' in the boats To my island home Red island home

Spinning circles 'round a star One day older, here we are It shines so bright, light up the sky Puts a sparkle in your eye That's how I feel deep into my heart Another day, another moon To start right now it's not too soon The old man smiles in the night And holds the secrets to the tides It draws you deep into my heart Have you ever met a movie star Drove around in a brand new car Rode a coaster at the fair Found an answer to a prayer That's how I feel deep into my heart Now the day is said and done And in the west you see the sun It's followed closely by the night Where the moon shines on so bright It's shining deep into my heart So now the night is growing old And in the east you see a glow Hold me darlin', hold me tight Tell me everything's alright I feel it deep into my heart Have you ever met a movie star Drove around in a brand new car Rode a coaster at the fair Found an answer to a prayer That's how I feel deep in my heart

I'll try to work it out Sometimes it goes away If I could just stop thinking about it I'd probably sleep all day But then the hunger comes And drags me away It takes me to that place in life where no one wants to be Where time stands still And the skies touch grey And no matter how hard I try something makes me stay Like memories of better times That slowly fade away And now all the memories you have left are twisted Torn and frayed So you try to work it out But it don't go away And if you can just stop thinking about it, You'd probably sleep all day Sleep all day
8.
I've been trying to explain it So darlin' you can understand The way I see it now I'm in the palm of your hand I think you know what I'm talkin' about I got a fire in my heart and it needs to come out So please please please darlin' please Let's start right now It was as simple as a touch of your arm To make me understand It was a sparkle in your eye that told me where I stand I think you know what I'm talking about I got a fire in my heart and it needs to come out So please please please darlin' please Let's start right now

You and Me 03:22
Have you ever seen a shooting star flash across the sky Or the rain pour down and flow into the sea An ocean wave crashing off the shore Or and autumn coloured leaf That's all it takes to think of you and me You are the one that gets me through You make dreams and wishes all come true Now it's time for me and you A timeless night with an old guitar And an endless melody A secret look from across the room, That could only mean one thing Hopes and lives hanging on a thread For a life that's lived in dream That's all it takes to think of you and me You are the one that gets me through You make dreams and wishes all come true Now it's time Now it's time Now it's time for me and you

I'm not lookin' for a friend I'm not lookin' for a lover I'm just tryin' to pretend that it's anything other Than a one night stand, just a slip between the covers So if you're lookin' to pretend that you're lookin' for a friend Please don't bother See I've been down this road before And I've seen a million miles Then you walked out the door And you left me in denial So I'm no goin' there again, it's just a lesson in survival So if you're lookin' to pretend that you're lookin' for a friend Please don't bother If you're lookin' to pretend that you're lookin' for a friend Please don't bother
