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
. . .

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
. . .

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

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
. . .

I sent you roses, I warned you I would
Do all that I could to show you the way that I feel
Please, don't say I'm wasting my time
I've got nothin' but time so I'lldo all that I can to catch
That ghost of a chance
(Chorus)
The sunlight, the moonlight
Are beyond my control
And there are stars in the heavens
That I'll never hold
But if dreams give you power
Then I'm strong enough to offer my heart
And never give up till you love me
Till you love me
I looked in your eyes, so bright and so blue
And that's when I knew that you could be mine
If good things come to those who will wait
Well, I guess I can wait if that's what I have to do
Oh, it's worth it for you
(Chorus 2 times)
Till you love me

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

-Verse 1
Well back in 1876 an old boy named Bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950's, they're in everybody's home
It's a crazy little thing they call the telephone
Now there's one on every corner
In the back of every bar
You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane, or in your car
-Chorus
So tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now darling, honey
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?
-Verse 2
Well there's no problem getting to me, baby
You can dial direct
I got call forward and call waiting
You can even call collect
The service man, he told me
That my phone was working fine
And I've come to the conclusion the trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the operator would be glad to put you through
So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you
-Chorus
So tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now darling, honey
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?
-Bridge
There better been a flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that burns up the wires
And thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothin' about
-Chorus
So tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now darling, honey
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?
(Repeat)

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
. . .

When you've climbed the highest mountain
When a cloud holds the sunshine in
Suddenly there's a valley
Where the Earth knows peace with men
When a star hides the distant rainbow
And you think you can't find a friend
Suddenly there's a valley
Where friendships never end
Touched only by the season
Swept clean by the ? rain
Surveyed by every bluebird
And kissed by the falling rain
When you think there's no bright tomorrow
And you feel you can't try again
Suddenly there's a valley
Where hope and love begin
Suddenly there's a valley
Where hope and love begin
. . .

Riding up in Oklahoma
People call us blind
'Cause we believe in God and love
And old fashioned things
We still draw the line between wrong and right
And when a woman takes a husband it's for life
We met on a road from Tulsa
Travelers in the night
Well I knew we belong together
It just felt so right
There's something about this gal you ought to know
She's gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico
Chorus:
I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico
Or till the Rio Grande freezes over
Cause darling when God made our love
He threw away the mold
And I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico
If you should ever leave me
Heaven forbid
But you don't have to worry none
About me ?
You know exactly where I'll go
I'll be waiting for the snow in Mexico
Repeat Chorus
Cause darling when He made our love
He threw away the mold
I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico
. . .

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
. . .
