Funny how love comes and goes.
With the tears that fill my life does it show.
So listen to my heart beat once again.
Because of you I hope this feeling never ends.

Silly Me.
I fell in love again.
We started out as friends.
You'd think I would have learned from the hurt before.
Foolish me.
Should I have closed the door.
Promised, even swore
to never love this way.
Oh foolish me

They say that love's a chance you take.
You know I've had my share.
But when the nights get oh so cold,
I need you there.
They say that love's a chance you take.
You know I've had my share.
But when the nights get oh so cold I need you there.

Repeat Chorus


. . .


Mama moved out
Daddy sold the house
They split up the money
And went on their own way

And all the kings horses
And all the kings men
Couldn’t put mama and daddy back together again

Starting over again
Where should they begin
’cause they never been out on their own
Starting over again
Where do you begin
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids are all grown
And the whole world cries

He got an apartment
She moved in with her sisters
He’s schemin’ big deals with one of his friends
While she sits at home sortin’ out pieces
Of left over memories from thirty odd years

Starting over again
Where do you begin
When you’ve never been out on your own
Starting over again
Never any end

What will the neighbors say
They’re talking talk it’s small town news
They’re fifty years old wrecking up a happy home
And this far down the road
You find yourself alone
Two fools

Starting over again
Where do you begin
When you’ve never been out on your own
Starting over again
Never any end
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids are all grown

And all the kings horses
And all the kings men
Couldn’t put mama and daddy back together again

. . .


Hey girl, it's me, I just called to tell you hi
Call me when you get this
Haven't talked lately, so hard to find the time
Give the boys a big kiss
Tell them that I miss them
By the way, I miss you too

I was thinking just today
About how we used to play
Barbie dolls and make-up
Tea parties, dress up
I remember how we'd fight,
Then make up, and laugh all night
Wish we were kids again
My sister, my friend

Oh yeah, before I forget, I met someone
I think I really like him
I was just wondering if I'm jumping the gun
By going out on a limb
And invite him home for Christmas
To meet the family

Seems like just yesterday
You brought home oh, whats his name
He had been drinkin'
What were you thinkin'
After dinner he passed out
We can laugh about it now
We've learned a lot since then
My sister, my friend

Do you think you could come and see me sometime soon?
We could just hang out like we used to

It's late, and I should go
But I can't hang up the phone
Until I tell you
What I don't tell you enough
Even though at times it seemed
We were more like enemies
I'd do it all again
My sister, my friend

Oh my sister, my friend

. . .


I caught you smiling at me again
Out of the corner of my eye.
It isn’t easy when I have to pretend
That you’re just another guy.
I can’t let anyone ever know.
I can’t let my feelings show.

Cause you’re the one I dream about,
When I fall asleep at night.
And you’re the one I think about
When he turns out the light
Now it’s so hard to live without you’re love to hold me tight.
How I wish that he was you tonight.

Whenever you are close to me my heart
Just won’t be still.
I hope that no one else can see the
Way you make me feel.
If only I didn’t have to hide all this loving i
Hold inside

Repeat chorus

. . .


Everybodys callin it a real big shame
She keeps lettin him treat her that way
Hes older and hes wild
Shes such a pretty child
He must be thinkin bout one thing
But theres stars in her eyes
Cause shes thinkin he might
Give her that class ring

[Chorus]
Shes got his picture in a frame
A heart untamed
Callin his house three times a day
She thinks its all shell ever dream of
And shes callin it love
Shes callin it love

Daddy knows his babys headed for a heartache
And that part of growing up is learning from mistakes
Be he cant let her go
Cause he knows
That boys nothin but bad news
But daddy cant control her
Shes gettin older
Theres nothin anyone can do

[Chorus]

She might get hurt along the way
But shes gonna find true love someday
Shes callin it love
Shes callin it love
Shes callin it love
Shes callin it love

. . .


Rain fallin, fallin rain
It's a long and troubled night
A night when I wish I could sleep
But there's no sleep inside

Heart breaking, breaking heart
It's such a lonely sound
That cries for the need of someone
But there's no one around

Chorus:
Nobody here to hold
No one to warm the cold
That lies deep within my soul
All around, just the sound of the
Rain falling, fallin rain
Like gentle tears of pain
That comes with my only friend
It's the gently falling rain

Repeat Chorus

. . .


Red sun a-rising, over the hill
I've had enough of this desert to last from now until
I'm tired of living day-to-day and hand-to-mouth
This could be the day I finally find my way out

Chorus:
I'm gonna climb that mountain high
I'm gonna see what's on the other side
I'm gonna kiss this town good-bye
I'm gonna climb that mountain

How I arrived here, heaven only knows
Seems more like the kind of place the devil would've chose
To spend my life here, is more than I can do
I know somewhere down the road my dream will come true

Repeat Chorus

If I stay here forever
What will I have to show
But if I make it over
Then everyone will know
I'm gonna climb that mountain high

Repeat Chorus

. . .


Now you ask me if I will go with you
Well I'd like to but I don't know if it's right
Are you looking for someone to care for you
Or just someone to love you tonight

Well I don't want to be a one night stand
So if that's what you got planned
Baby before we go you better let me know
I don't want to be a one night stand

It been so long since I've had some loving
And your kisses make me wish that you were mine
Now it'd be so easy for me to fall for you
And let myself have a good time

Well I don't want to be a one night stand
So if that's what you got planned
Baby before we go you better let me know
I don't want to be a one night stand

Well I don't want to be a one night stand
So if that's what you got planned
Baby before we go you better let me know
I don't want to be a one night stand

Well I don't want to be a one night stand
So if that's what you got planned
Baby before we go you better let me know
I don't want to be a one night stand

. . .


When you ain't got nobody
Then nobody ever says goodbye
You don't have to wait for someone
To make you laugh or make you cry

Wish I were only lonely
Just kind of ordinary blue
If I were only lonely
Then maybe I'd know what to do
But I'm helpless 'cause I'm lonely for you

I sleep in a bed so empty
It's an emptiness no one can fill
I may have to go on living
But life without you ain't no thrill

[Repeat Chorus]

Well, whoever said it's better
To love and to lose
He ought to be right here in my shoes

[Repeat Chorus]


. . .


These hands
You can hold them all night if you want to
And these lips
Won't mind your kisses
No they don't care
You can lay your head on my shoulder
Maybe even get a little bolder
But when it comes to my heart
Oh don't touch me there

Oh these arms
You can wrap around me gently
And your fingers
You can run them through my hair
But there's one place that's off bounds
From the last time love came 'round
When it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there

Last time I gave my heart so sweetly it broke
He broke it so completely
And even now it's more then I can bear
Now someday I know I'll try again
Someday but until then
When it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there

Oh these hands you can hold them all night if you want to
And these lips won't mind your kisses
No they don't care
You can lay your head on my shoulder
Or maybe even get a little bolder
But when it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there

Oh when it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there
