In the eyes of the world he's only an ordinary man
But there's a million and one things the eyes of the world never see
He may walk the same
He may talk the same
As a million others do
Oh but you'd see him as I do if his heart had eyes for you

Chorus:
He's only everything
Only everything
He's as real as the thrill I feel
When he walks through my dreams
He's the one I hold
When my world grows cold
And needs a touch of spring
Or a song to sing
Yes in these eyes of mine
Lord he's only everything

Repeat Chorus

Yes in these eyes of mine
Lord he's only everything


. . .


You tell me that you're always gonna love me
But that's what he said
That's what he said

And forever is a word
That should mean something
But that's what he said
That's what he said

You're telling me the same sweet things he told me
And in your eyes I see that same sweet glow
And did you say you'd never leave me lonely
Well that's what he said
That's what he said

You're telling me I've got to go on living
To open up my heart and just let go
And it's better to love and lose
Then live with nothing
But that's what he said
That's what he said

That's what he said
That's what he said

. . .


I've got something to tell you that I just can't say
So I'm writing it down in case maybe someday
Our lives take a turn down a road
We can't see right now
I know you're happy and I'm happy for you
But since you found each other
I've been so confused
Cause I believe there's one soul on this earth
That was meant for mine
I was sent here to find

Chorus:
What if it's you
What if our hearts were meant to be one
What'll I do
Knowing that I'll never love anyone
As much as I do love you
What if it's true
What if it's you

If destiny called and I missed my cue
Do I get one more chance
Oh how I wish I knew
I'll never again put my heart in the hands of fate
If it's too late
If I ever hold you I'll never let go
But if I never do how will I know

. . .


I'll never forget that night long ago
When he drove me down that old dusty road
He took me as far as I'd ever been
He wanted me and I wanted him
But I'd always been told I shouldn't give in

I wouldn't go that far
I didn't follow my heart
He said he loved me
But I wasn't ready
And I wouldn't go that far

He was so patient, he didn't give up
With a ring in his hand and a heart full of love
He asked me for forever, I asked him to wait
To please understand these dreams I must chase
Though it was a promise I wanted to make

I wouldn't go that far
I didn't follow my heart
He said he loved me
But I wasn't ready
And I wouldn't go that far

After all these years, I saw him again
He had his wife and his family with him
He said he was proud of all my success
He guessed both of us had found happiness

I wouldn't go that far
I didn't follow my heart
He said he loved me
But I wasn't ready
And I wouldn't go that far

Yes, I knew he loved me
But I wasn't ready
And I wouldn't go that far

. . .


Lost in the city
Deserted and cold
Watching the cars passing by
There all going places
That we used to go
And it's driving me out of my mind

And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue

They say when one love is ended
Another is born
That's no consolation to me
Just show me some sunlight
A rose without thorns
And maybe I'll start to believe

Repeat Chorus
(Well just color me blue)

Oh all my life
I've waited for one love to make it alright
But now I feel heartaches and tears
Of a sad souvenirs that you left me
Since you left me
I'll just go on a day at a time
Trying in vain to forget you
But time and again you enter my mind
Someday I swear I won't let you

Repeat Chorus
(Cause baby I'm blue)

Repeat Chorus
(So just color me blue)


. . .


It sure gets quiet
When the kids go to bed
We lay here in the silence
Putting off what must be said

I read a book you watch T.V.
As our love dies quietly
I'm so sad
I don't know what I've just read

Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids
And they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hopin somehow
We might need each other again

You say goodnight
And turn and face the wall
We lie here in the darkness
And the tears start to fall

If it as only you and me
Goodbye might come more easily
But what about
Those babies down the hall

Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids
And they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hopin somehow
We might need each other again

Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We just keep hopin
We might need each other again

. . .


I walk into the kitchen
The silverware is gone
The furniture is missing
I guess you got it all uhuh
This is where it ought to hurt
Seems like every time you leave me
You try to think of something worse

Chorus:
I can't even get the blues no more
I try to worry like I did before
And nothing happens when I walk the floor
So what am I supposed to do
I toss and turn but then I fall asleep
I'm going under but it's not too deep
You want to hurt me but it's just no use
I can't even get the blues

Well this time ain't no different
The sun's up in the sky
Sitting on the back porch
Clouds are rolling by
Oh this is where it ought to rain
But it doesn't really matter
To me it's all about the same

Repeat Chorus
(You try and hurt me)

Repeat Chorus

. . .


Ooo say the word
And I'll be yours
Say the word
So I'll be sure
That what I'm feeling goes for both of us
I hate to hear you tell me what you feel is really love

Say the word
Open up
Say the word
What's the hold up
Before I go and give my heart away
I need to know I'm falling for a man who ain't afraid to

Chorus:
Say the word
It's just four little letters
And if you really mean it
you've got me forever
And I've got so much love for you
That all you gotta do
Is say the word

And I'll be there
Anytime, anywhere

Repeat Chorus

And I'll be yours
So I'll be sure
Say the word
And I'll be there
Anytime, anywhere


. . .


It's your call, it's her
Would you rather take it in the other room
She's hangin' on and so am I
Yeah, I know all about it don't act so surpised

It's time to end this game you're playin'
She's not the only one who's waiting on the line

It's your call
It's up to you
And I won't try to stop you if you go
But if you stay tell her goodbye
I can't take another minute
I can't stand another night

Of wondering if I even matter
It's something only you can answer
Here's the phone, it's your call

There's no easy way out this time
'Cause I won't live this way
She called here to talk to you
With a message that I can't take

Oh, I've got to know if I still matter
It's somethin' only you can answer
Here's the phone, it's your call


. . .


We had a fight
A lover's quarrel
Angry words spoken in haste
Deep in the night
It went out of control
And with tears streaming down my face
I slammed the door and I walked out
Swearing that we were through
Now I'm sitting in a bar
Thinking I've gone too far
Wondering what I'm gonna do
Thinking about calling you

Chorus:
To my left blue collar
To my right a high dollar man
Across the bar a smooth bartender
Who thinks I'm in the palm of his hand
Well they buy me drinks
Light my cigarette
They're all wondering which one I'm gonna choose
Oh my hand's on my glass
My second margarita
And my mind is on you
My mind is on you

Well I ran away
In a moment of weakness
I couldn't hold my own
I should stay
Because being together
Means more than who was right or wrong
And sitting in a room full of lonely faces
You're the only one I see
If you only knew
I was thinking of you
Would you come and rescue me
Maybe I should call and see

Repeat Chorus
(My third margarita)

I should of known I could never get along
Outside of your love
It's last call
And I'm out of cigarettes
They are all wondering what I'm gonna do
Oh my hand's on the glass
It's my last margarita
And my mind is on you
My mind is on you
My mind is on you
