(Sara Evans/Marcus Hummon/Darrell Scott)

I've been tellin' my dreams to the scarecrow
'Bout the places that I'd like to see
I said, friend do you think I'll ever get there
Ah, but he just stands there smilin' back at me

So I confessed my sins to the preacher
About the love I've been prayin' to find
Is there a brown eye'd boy in my future, yeah
He says. girl you've got nothin' but time

But how do you wait for heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know, that you were born, you were born to fly

My daddy, he's grounded like the oak tree
My momma, she is steady as the sun
Oh you know I love my folks
But I keep starin' down the road
Just lookin' for my one chance to run

Yeah, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a sea
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
And I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free

Oh, how do you wait for heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know, that you were born
You were born yeah
You were born to fly

So how do you wait for heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know that you were born
You were born to fly fly fly fly

Hey
Ooooh, ooooh

. . .


(Victoria Banks)

We're only human, baby
We walk on broken ground
We lose our way
We come unwound
We'll turn in circles, baby
We're never satisfied
We'll fall from grace
Forget we can fly
But through all the tears that we cried
We'll survive

Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels.

I love your imperfections
I love your everything
Your broken heart, your broken wings
I love you when you hold me
And when you turn away
I love you still and I'm not afraid
Cause I know you feel the same way
And you'll stay

Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels.

These feet of clay (these feet of clay)
They will not stray

Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels.
Saints and angels

(Diane Warren)

Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smile just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything in me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
And these are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me
Yeah

These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Oh, here with you here with me
No, I could not ask for more
Than this love you gave me
Cause it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
No, yeah
No, I could not ask for more

(Tom Shapiro/Sara Evans/Tony Martin)

Back when I was young
Couldn't wait to grow up
Get away and get out on my own
And looking back now
Ain't it funny how
I've been trying to get back home, yeah

When my low self esteem
Needs a man loving me
And I find me a perfect catch
Then I see my friends
Having wild weekends
Then I don't wanna get quite so attached
Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied
Good is good but could be better

I keep looking, I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
I keep looking
Looking for something more

Well, the straight haired girls
They all want curls
And the brunettes wanna be blonde
It's your typical thing
You got ying you want yang
It just goes on and on
They say, hey, it's only human
To never be satisfied
Well I guess that I'm as human as the next one

Oh, I keep looking
I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
Yeah, I keep looking
Looking for something more

Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied
Hey, good is good but could be better

I keep looking
I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
I keep looking
Looking for something more
Oh, looking for something more

(Jess Brown/Tony Lane)

I remember the windows rolled down and the wind in my hair
Driving 'round in your Daddy's old Chevy
Like we were going somewhere

We thought that summer would last us forever
Going steady was just something you do
I didn't know much about love
I learned that from you

Now those were some good times
Lately they don't seem to last
I guess I'm not nearly as strong as a drink in your glass
And the nights just get later
I can stay up and wait or just go on to bed like I do
I never knew nothing about lonely
I learned from that you

And I learned how to kiss on a ferris wheel
And I made wishes at wishing wells
And I fell into that fairytale too
And I know that love ain't so easy
But we tried, didn't we baby
It's alright
Some dreams weren't meant to come true
I learned that from you

One night while the whole world was turning
I left you a note
And I told you that I'd always miss you
Then I let you go
I'm living outside of some town I ain't heard of
And I think about the boy I knew
I didn' t know you could fall out of love
I learned that from you

And I learned how to kiss on a ferris wheel
And I made wishes at wishing wells
And I fell into that fairytale too
And I know that love ain't so easy
But we tried, didn't we baby
It's alright
Some dreams weren't meant to come true
I learned that from you

I remember the windows rolled down
And the wind..

. . .


(Randy Scruggs/Sara Evans)

Baby, hold my hand
Show me you're my man
Take me to that land
Where we can get crazy
Cause this old world gets tough
When I've had enough
I need to know your love
Will be here to save me, save me

Let's dance while the lights are shining bright
Let's dance while the music's feeling right
Romance till the night is through
You'll be holding me
Yeah, and I'll be holding you
Let's dance

Wanna feel your touch
You know I love you so much
Maybe with a little love
Our world will turn slower
Cause we've been moving so fast
Seems life is flying past
Can we make this moment
I wanna remember, remember

Let's dance while the lights are shining bright
Let's dance while the music's feeling right
Romance till the night is through
You'll be holding me
Yeah, and I'll be holding you
Let's dance
Oh, let's dance

Oh, baby just say yes
I've got this brand new dress
This night could change our lives forever
Yeah, let's dance
Oh, romance till the night is through
You'll be holding me now
Yeah, and I'll be holding you
Let's dance
Yeah, let's dance
Baby, baby, baby let's dance
Oh, hold me, love me, show me baby
Baby, let's dance

. . .


(Tom Shapiro/Sara Evans/Tony Martin)

Ooh
Why should I care if you found somebody new
And you look like you're in love
And why should I care if she looks a lot like me
And she's all you've ever dreamed of
I didn't care enough to keep you around
So tell me why should I care now

I was the one who let you go
I never told you that I love you
I couldn't promise anything
The way you needed me to
Oh, my heart was never really there
So why should I care
Why should I care?
I just do

So why should I care if
I ain't nothing in your eyes
What you felt for me is gone
Oh, and why would I feel that way
Now that it's too late
To change what I did wrong
Oh, I didn't care enough to keep you around
So baby, tell me, why should I care now

I was the one who let you go
I never told you that I love you
I couldn't promise anything
The way you needed me to
Oh, my heart was never really there
So why should I care
Why should I care?
Well, I just do

Oh, my heart was never really there
So why should I care
Why should I care
I just do
Yeah, I just do
Baby, I just do

. . .


(Bill Lloyd/Hillary Lindsey)

It's been so long
I should be used to this by now
Loneliness that keeps coming back around
The moon on my window casts a different light
On all these memories that keep me up tonight

Hey, I know just what I need
That's you and in a hurry
If I got on the road right now
I'd see you at four thirty

Hey, I think I have about
Sixty miles of gasoline left in my car
There's an all night truck stop
Yeah, I bet I could get that far
I can close my eyes and smell coffee in the air
I'll fill my cup, if you'll wait up
I'll soon be there

Hey, I'm letting go
So baby don't you worry
Wheels on ground
I won't slow down
I'll see you at four thirty
Hey, I..yeah

Hey, I won't allow my mind
To talk me out of this
Past every exit sign
Cause that's the way it is

Hey, I'm letting go
So baby don't you worry
Wheels on ground
I won't slow down
I'll see you, yeah
Hey, I know just what I need
That's you and in a hurry
Oh, wheels on ground, I won't slow down
I'll see you at four thirty

. . .


(Sara Evans/James LeBlanc)

I've been trying to break down your walls
But I don't know how to get through
You say that you want me
You say that you need me
But baby, I need more from you

You've gotta take my hand
And lead me to where you are
You know I'll follow
To show me the way to your heart

I know it's hard for you to trust again
But you've just got to believe
I will never lie to you
And I will never hurt you
Baby, I'm asking please

You've gotta take my hand 
And lead me to where you are
You know I'll follow
To show me the way to your heart

Think you've locked your heart away
Baby, I hold the key
Believe me when I say
My love can set you free

Take my hand
And lead me to where you are
You know I'll follow
To show me the way to your heart
Take my hand
And lead me to where you are
Baby, you know I'll follow
To show me the way to your heart

. . .


(Sara Evans/Ron Harmon/Aimee Mayo)

You don't know what you do
When you look at me that way
You don't how my heart breaks
Everytime you say my name
You don't see all the tears
That I cry in the dark
You don't hear how I pray
That you're safe when we're apart
Everytime we kiss you don't know
How you steal a piece of my soul

You don't know how it feels
To be the one who loves the most
How hard it is not to beg you to stay
Then watch you go
Oh, you say it's all in my head
But to me it seems so real
No, you don't know how it feels
You might think you do
But you don't
Hey!

And everytime we kiss you don't know
How you steal a piece of my soul

You don't know how it feels
To be the one who loves the most
How hard it is not to beg you to stay
Then watch you go
Oh, you say it's all in my head
But to me it seems so real
No, you don't know it feels
You might think you do
But you don't
No, you don't know how it feels
You might think you do
But you don't

. . .


(Bruce Hornsby)

Way out here working on the docks
Everyone sees the long day through
Oh, what would I do
Without the nights and the phone
And the chance just to talk to you
Oh, what would I do now
Just to talk to you
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
A little relief in sight
Or someday when times weren't so tight

When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I need you now
Yeah, you're what I miss
Every little kiss
Every little one, every little one

Everybody here's a number, not a name
But I guess that's alright with me
As I sit alone after a long day
In the absence of company
Oh, I let my mind wander
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
A little relief in sight
Or someday when times weren't so tight

When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I need you now
Yeah, you're what I miss
Every little kiss
Every little one, every little one

. . .


(Brett James/Troy Verges)

If all my good fortune ended
If my whole world came tumbling down
And suddenly everything I'm sure of
Came crashing to the ground
My worst fears all came true
If I lost every dream I ever knew

You
Would be the faith that carries me
You
Would show me the grace to make me see the truth
Whatever storm I fly into
All I really need to get me through
Is you

I can take my chances
I can swing from the trapeze
I'm not afraid of falling
Cause I know that you'll catch me
When my sky is running out of blue
And when I just don't know what to do

You
Would be the faith that carries me
You
Would show me the grace to make me see the truth
Whatever storm I fly into
All I really need to get me through
Is you

And when I don't believe in anything
And I'm spinning in a hurricane
And the world is full of strangers
I've got you

You
Yea, yea, yea, yea
Oh you
Would be the faith that carries me through
Would show me the grace to make me see the truth
Whatever storm I fly into
All I really need to get me through

You, you
Yea, yea
You're all I need
Oh yea
You, you
You're all I need
