I still reach for you
In the middle of my dreams, each night
But my arms come up empty everytime
And lately, I talk to your memory
More than I should
If I could just forget the past, I would
Cause this missing you ain't doing me no good

[chorus]
I'm so close to crazy
Right on the edge
Just one step away from going insane
But I'm not there yet
If I could just lose my mind
I wouldn't know we're through
But this close to crazy
Is far from over you

Today I caught myself
Reliving how it used to be
At a table for two, just you and me
But talking to an empty chair
And laughing right out loud
Turned everybody's head and left no doubt
I'm a broken woman, close to breaking down

[chorus]
I'm so close to crazy
Right on the edge
Just one step away from going insane
But I'm not there yet
If I could just lose my mind
I wouldn't know we're through
But this close to crazy
Is far from over you

I still reach for you
In the middle of my dreams, each night

. . .


We lie in the dark
I know you're awake
The only sounds are the sounds this old house makes
Oh how I long, I long to hear your voice

Desperate to talk
Yearning to touch
Burning inside cause I want you so much
So I say, I need you
And leave you no choice

[chorus]
You lie
You don't wanna hurt me, so you lie
Buy a little time
And I go along, what else I can do
Maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie
Till you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie

How long until
You just can't go on
And the urge to break loose is just too strong
You should let go, if that's what you wanna do
Oh, but you don't know
If it's the right thing to do

[chorus]

You lie
Oh you lie
Oh you lie

. . .


Funny you can hold it in your hand
And never cause you're afraid to play
And you can feel your dreams
Softly slipping through your fingers
Till they're so far away

Sitting there surrounded
By your many life's possessions
Feeling so much more than all the load
You realized you've learned one more
Of living's many lessons
Love's worth more than all you'll ever own

Chorus:
What I'd give if you were here beside me
We could spend forever here alone
Oh what I'd give what would I give
Just that moment
Just everything I'll ever own

Funny when I really had it all
I never knew
Cause I just couldn't see
The wealth I hoped to find
Couldnt even hold a candle
To the love you gave to me

I've taken love for granted
And I've taken love for pleasure
Never taking time to understand
Now I know that loving you
Has been my greatest treasure
And I let it slip right through my hands

Repeat Chorus


. . .


He said he loves her . . . what can you say to that
He's made up his mind and there ain't nothin' you can do
And so you swallow hard . . . maybe you drive all night
Tryin' to figure out where the whole thing started going wrong
And in the silence something begins to unravel
You never knew him like you'll be knowing him now
Chorus:
Fallin' out of Love and back into your life
Pullin' your heart out from under the knife
Closin' the door on all those dreams you used to know
Fallin' out of love and back on your feet
Turnin' away from that dead end street
Finding out that nothing feels as good as letting go
That's when he calls you up out of the blue one day
And you know he thinks he's talking to the girl you used to be
So when you tell him he's just a memory
Ain't it funny how his voice cracks when you're saying goodbye
And in the silence something begins to unravel
He never knew you like he'll be knowing you now
Repeat chorus
Tag:
Oh and nothing feels as good as letting go
He said he loved her

. . .


Smile's not a smile until it wrinkles your face
Bell's not a bell without ringing
A home's not a home when there's nobody there
A song's not a song without singing

Chorus:
Love isn't love till you give it away
Love isn't love till it's free
The love in your heart
Wasn't put there to stay
Oh love isn't love till you give it away

You might think love is a treasure to keep
Feeling to cherish and hold
But love is a treasure for people to share
You keep it by letting it go

Repeat Chorus

Cause love can't survive
When it's hidden inside
And love was meant to be shared

Repeat Chorus


. . .


In this life, we all go through hard times
When we struggle and pray for a lifeline
Just needing someone
To show us the way

To you, the glass might seem half empty
But it's half full to those without any
So hold onto hope
And try to have faith
Oh, you've got to have faith

[chorus]
If there's just one secret to living
Whoever you are (whoever you are)
It's learning the meaning of giving
With an open heart
With an open heart

If you offer the best part of yourself
Even when you don't have anything else
Honest and true
It'll come back to you
Love comes back to you

[chorus]

With your arms wide open
The world opens wide
And you'll believe it deep inside

That there's just one secret to living
Whoever you are (whoever you are)
It's finding the true joy in giving
With an open heart
Oh, with an open heart


. . .


So here you are again
Standing at my door
You know I'll understand
Well that's what friends are for

What's he done this time
What did he say
To make you so darn mad
That you're running away
Now you say you want to be like me
Independent and free

Chorus:
But if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonely nights
The empty I love you's
Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home

My life looks good to you
I'm always in control
No one to answer to
But no one there to hold
You see in my eyes you are the lucky one
With loving arms that you can lean upon
I'd give anything I could to save
What you're throwing away

Cause (Repeat Chorus)

I know it's hard to face that love ain't perfect everyday
But I know a hundred girls who would gladly take your place

So (Repeat Chorus)

You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
If you only knew

. . .


Sun goes down on a silky day
Quarter moon walking though the Milky Way
Oh you and me baby
We could think of something to do

It's the right time of the night
The stars are waking above
It's the right time of the night for making love

No use talking when the shadows fall
Night bird's calling and he says it all
Oh you and me baby
We could think of something to do

It's the right time of the night
The stars are waking above
It's the right time of the night for making love

I got you and you got me
Tell you that's the way my mama always said it should be
Oh I'll be good and you be kind
We'll be bad if you don't mind

It's the right time of the night
The stars are waking above
It's the right time of the night for making love

It's the right time of the night
The stars are waking above
It's the right time of the night for making love

It's the right time of the night
The stars are waking above
It's the right time of the night for making love

. . .


Oh ain't life wonderful when everything is right?
But sometimes wonderful can fall apart sometimes
And when your troubles knock you down
Pick yourself up off the ground

(chorus)
And walk on
Walk on
Nothin ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Oh, walk on
Don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light till you find the sun
And you'll be better off in the long run
And walk on

Oh it's a heartache when love comes to an end
And even though your heart breaks
You know it's gonna mend
Keep the faith right through the fire
Don't you ever break your stride

(chorus) 2x

Walk on
Walk on
Oh walk on
Walk on
Walk on

. . .


Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
Folks dressed up like eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Helps to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa Claus is on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
Although it's been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you

Oh, and so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
And although it's been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

(Whispers) Merry Christmas
