Give It Away Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Ready or not Take your best shot
cause here life comes You use what you got
and you’ve got it all when you’ve got love
But we had it and we store it up
and there never seems to be enough
This world is spinning so fast
Ain’t no slowing it down now
And there ain’t a lot that lasts
But I think I’ve found a way to make love stay
You’ve got to give it away
Give it away
Talk about time And it’s flown away before your done
And money is fine but one day it’s here the next day gone
So love is looking like a sure bet
Cause the more you give the more you get
This world is spinning so fast
Ain’t no slowing it down now
And there ain’t a lot that lasts
But I think I’ve found a way to make love stay
Oh and someday everybody dies
But not everybody really lives
And when it’s my turn to say goodbye
I don’t want nothing left to give
This world is spinning so fast
Ain’t no slowing it down now
And there ain’t a lot that lasts
But I think I’ve found it
This world is spinning so fast
Ain’t no slowing it down now
And there ain’t a lot that lasts
But I think I’ve found a way to make love stay
You’ve got to give it away
You’ve got to give it away
You’ve got to give it away
You’ve got to give it away
cause here life comes You use what you got
and you’ve got it all when you’ve got love
But we had it and we store it up
and there never seems to be enough
This world is spinning so fast
Ain’t no slowing it down now
And there ain’t a lot that lasts
But I think I’ve found a way to make love stay
You’ve got to give it away
Give it away
Talk about time And it’s flown away before your done
And money is fine but one day it’s here the next day gone
So love is looking like a sure bet
Cause the more you give the more you get
This world is spinning so fast
Ain’t no slowing it down now
And there ain’t a lot that lasts
But I think I’ve found a way to make love stay
Oh and someday everybody dies
But not everybody really lives
And when it’s my turn to say goodbye
I don’t want nothing left to give
This world is spinning so fast
Ain’t no slowing it down now
And there ain’t a lot that lasts
But I think I’ve found it
This world is spinning so fast
Ain’t no slowing it down now
And there ain’t a lot that lasts
But I think I’ve found a way to make love stay
You’ve got to give it away
You’ve got to give it away
You’ve got to give it away
You’ve got to give it away
Now Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I used to try to hold the future in my hands
Tried to make tomorrow turn out like I planned
And there’s no use in thinkin’ about yesterday
I can’t go back there anyway
It’s a ‘What have you done for me lately?’ world
We only have today
Then it spins and turns And forever isn’t waiting
and time keeps counting down To Now
Gonna make a move like it’s my last stand
Draw my line deep in the sand
Gonna take my time, give my life to love
You can keep the fame and money cause there’s never enough
In this ‘What have you done for me lately?’ world
We only have today
Then it spins and turns And all that’s gonna matter
when it comes back around is To Now
Oh, how we spend our moments is how we spend our lives
It’s a ‘What have you done for me lately?’ world
We only have today
Then it spins and turns
And all that’s gonna matter when it comes back around To Now
Tried to make tomorrow turn out like I planned
And there’s no use in thinkin’ about yesterday
I can’t go back there anyway
It’s a ‘What have you done for me lately?’ world
We only have today
Then it spins and turns And forever isn’t waiting
and time keeps counting down To Now
Gonna make a move like it’s my last stand
Draw my line deep in the sand
Gonna take my time, give my life to love
You can keep the fame and money cause there’s never enough
In this ‘What have you done for me lately?’ world
We only have today
Then it spins and turns And all that’s gonna matter
when it comes back around is To Now
Oh, how we spend our moments is how we spend our lives
It’s a ‘What have you done for me lately?’ world
We only have today
Then it spins and turns
And all that’s gonna matter when it comes back around To Now
Together Again Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I’m just a man on this spinning globe
Who am I What do I know
But I’ve got a feeling that even when the music ends
Goodbye doesn’t say it all
There’s another play when the curtain falls
Were all rehearsing for forever but until then
Whoah...oh..oh
I guess That’s just the way this old world works
Moments of heaven mixed with moments of hurt
I’ll be waiting til we are together again
Every things falling apart right now
But with all of the hope that my faith allows
I’ll be waiting til we are together again
The time we had was touched by God
and I’m thankful but I had a thought
I wondered why something so perfect ever has to end
I fall and pray and screamed out loud
But the silence never told me how
How to keep on living til we are together again
Whoah...oh..oh
I guess That’s just the way this old world works
Moments of heaven mixed with moments of hurt
I’ll be waiting til we are together again
Every things falling apart right now
But with all of the hope that my faith allows
I’ll be waiting til we are together again
I’ll be waiting til we are together again
I’ll be waiting til we are together again
Who am I What do I know
But I’ve got a feeling that even when the music ends
Goodbye doesn’t say it all
There’s another play when the curtain falls
Were all rehearsing for forever but until then
Whoah...oh..oh
I guess That’s just the way this old world works
Moments of heaven mixed with moments of hurt
I’ll be waiting til we are together again
Every things falling apart right now
But with all of the hope that my faith allows
I’ll be waiting til we are together again
The time we had was touched by God
and I’m thankful but I had a thought
I wondered why something so perfect ever has to end
I fall and pray and screamed out loud
But the silence never told me how
How to keep on living til we are together again
Whoah...oh..oh
I guess That’s just the way this old world works
Moments of heaven mixed with moments of hurt
I’ll be waiting til we are together again
Every things falling apart right now
But with all of the hope that my faith allows
I’ll be waiting til we are together again
I’ll be waiting til we are together again
I’ll be waiting til we are together again

You Lyrics – Paul Brandt
There’s something bout the things you do
The way you smile the way you move
The way that you walk through a room
Can’t get it off my mind
In the day and in the night
In the dark and in the light
In the noise, and in the quiet
It happens all the time
And all I want
All I ever think about
All I ever dream about Is You
At times when you’re not even there
I still see you everywhere
It’s as if you have become the air
and every time I breathe
And all I want
All I ever thing about
All I ever dream about
And all I want
All I ever think about
All I ever dream about Is You
And all I want
All I ever think about
All I ever dream about Is You
mi
The way you smile the way you move
The way that you walk through a room
Can’t get it off my mind
In the day and in the night
In the dark and in the light
In the noise, and in the quiet
It happens all the time
And all I want
All I ever think about
All I ever dream about Is You
At times when you’re not even there
I still see you everywhere
It’s as if you have become the air
and every time I breathe
And all I want
All I ever thing about
All I ever dream about
And all I want
All I ever think about
All I ever dream about Is You
And all I want
All I ever think about
All I ever dream about Is You

Start With Love Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Well your mom and me We think it’s pretty neat
How our love turned out this way
When we heard your heart
Oh, right from the start
Both of us were changed
Watchin’ love grow a little more each day
If I could show you everything I’ve ever learned
I’d start with love
Sum life’s meaning up into just one word
I’d start with love
Oh and this can be a complicated life
But I’ve seen how everything will turn out right
When you start with love
It’s the ABC’s and then 1 2 3
and daddy play with me right now
all these tiny things they add up pretty big
and that’s got me thinkin’ about how life’s too short
and how I wish time would slow down
If I could show you everything I’ve ever learned
I’d start with love
Sum life’s meaning up into just one word
I’d start with love
Oh and this can be a complicated life
But I’ve seen how everything will turn out right
When you start with love
and the storms may come and the winds may blow
but if you’ll just remember this it’s all you’ll need to know
How our love turned out this way
When we heard your heart
Oh, right from the start
Both of us were changed
Watchin’ love grow a little more each day
If I could show you everything I’ve ever learned
I’d start with love
Sum life’s meaning up into just one word
I’d start with love
Oh and this can be a complicated life
But I’ve seen how everything will turn out right
When you start with love
It’s the ABC’s and then 1 2 3
and daddy play with me right now
all these tiny things they add up pretty big
and that’s got me thinkin’ about how life’s too short
and how I wish time would slow down
If I could show you everything I’ve ever learned
I’d start with love
Sum life’s meaning up into just one word
I’d start with love
Oh and this can be a complicated life
But I’ve seen how everything will turn out right
When you start with love
and the storms may come and the winds may blow
but if you’ll just remember this it’s all you’ll need to know
I Do (Revisited) Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I've seen the storm clouds in your past
But rest assured 'cause you are safe at home
at last I rescued you, you rescued me
And we're right where we should be
when we're together
I know the questions in your mind
But go ahead and ask me one more time
You'll find the answer's still the same
It won't change from day to day for worse or better
Will I promise to be your best friend
And am I here until the end
Can I be sure I have been waiting for you
And did I say my love is true
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do
I know the time will disappear
But this love we're building on will always be here
No way that this is sinking sand
On this solid rock we'll stand forever
Will I promise to be your best friend
And am I here until the end
Can I be sure I have been waiting for you
And did I say my love is true
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have Oh,
I will, I am, I can, I have
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do
But rest assured 'cause you are safe at home
at last I rescued you, you rescued me
And we're right where we should be
when we're together
I know the questions in your mind
But go ahead and ask me one more time
You'll find the answer's still the same
It won't change from day to day for worse or better
Will I promise to be your best friend
And am I here until the end
Can I be sure I have been waiting for you
And did I say my love is true
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do
I know the time will disappear
But this love we're building on will always be here
No way that this is sinking sand
On this solid rock we'll stand forever
Will I promise to be your best friend
And am I here until the end
Can I be sure I have been waiting for you
And did I say my love is true
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have Oh,
I will, I am, I can, I have
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do
Last First Kiss Lyrics – Paul Brandt
The shadows fade
I see the light as you walk through
It’s like I’m blinded by the sun
Today All I see is you And from this moment on

And take a chance to live
I want to you to see You’re all I need

So here we are On the edge
of all our days tryin to stare tomorrow down
Take this to heart that whatever this life brings
I’m givin’ you my word right now

My Heart Has A History (Revisited) Lyrics – Paul Brandt
My heart has a history
Of hurtin' those who mean the most to me
Before you get too close to me
I think you oughta know
While other hearts are holdin' on
While other loves are growin' strong
My heart has a history of lettin' go
The first time I looked into your eyes
I knew this moment would arrive
I got a feelin' you're the one
But my heart keeps tryin' to turn and run
The problem is this happens everytime (cause)
My heart has a history
Of hurtin' those who mean the most to me
Before you get too close to me
I think you oughta know While other hearts are holdin' on
While other loves are growin' strong
My heart has a history of lettin' go
If we can take this one kiss at a time
Then maybe we can tame this heart of mine
I'm telling you the cold, hard truth
I ain't ever been loved by the likes of you
And I ain't ever had this much on the line, but
My heart has a history
Of hurtin' those who mean the most to me
Before you get too close to me I think you oughta know
While other hearts are holdin' on
While other loves are growin' strong
My heart has a history of lettin' go
Yeah, my heart has a history of lettin' go
Of hurtin' those who mean the most to me
Before you get too close to me
I think you oughta know
While other hearts are holdin' on
While other loves are growin' strong
My heart has a history of lettin' go
The first time I looked into your eyes
I knew this moment would arrive
I got a feelin' you're the one
But my heart keeps tryin' to turn and run
The problem is this happens everytime (cause)
My heart has a history
Of hurtin' those who mean the most to me
Before you get too close to me
I think you oughta know While other hearts are holdin' on
While other loves are growin' strong
My heart has a history of lettin' go
If we can take this one kiss at a time
Then maybe we can tame this heart of mine
I'm telling you the cold, hard truth
I ain't ever been loved by the likes of you
And I ain't ever had this much on the line, but
My heart has a history
Of hurtin' those who mean the most to me
Before you get too close to me I think you oughta know
While other hearts are holdin' on
While other loves are growin' strong
My heart has a history of lettin' go
Yeah, my heart has a history of lettin' go
The Highway Patrol Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I got a star on my car and one on my chest,
A gun on my hip and the right to arrest
I'm the guy who's the boss on this highway
So watch out what you're doin'
when you're drivin' my way
If you break the law, you'll hear from me, I know
I'm a-workin' for the state, I'm The Highway Patrol
Well, you'll know me when you see me,
'cause my door's painted white, With my siren a-screamin'
and my flashin' red lights I work all day and I work all night
Just a-keepin' law and order, tryin' to do what's right
If I write you out a ticket, then you'd better drive slow
I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm The Highway Patrol
I'm the highway patrol, the highway patrol,
My hours are long, and my pay is low
But I'll do my best to keep you driving slow
I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm The Highway Patrol
If your drivin' to fast like you shouldn't do,
You can bet your boots, I'm comin' after you
If you wanna race then get on a race track,
'Cause if you try and run away I'm gonna bring ya back
I'm here to keep all the speeders driving slow
I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm The Highway Patrol
I'm the highway patrol, the highway patrol,
My hours are long, and my pay is low
But I'll do my best to keep you driving slow
I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm The Highway Patrol
I'm just a-doin' my job I'm The Highway Patrol
A gun on my hip and the right to arrest
I'm the guy who's the boss on this highway
So watch out what you're doin'

If you break the law, you'll hear from me, I know

Didn't Even See The Dust Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Shotgun
Everybody get in for the
Long run
don't know where we're goin but the
outcome
comes with a little bit of trust
Let's go
followin' whatever way the
wind blows
flying with our hands out of the
window we
Didn't even see the Dust
see how far we'd get
driving straight ahead
Getting lost didn't seem to matter much
All we had was time
and a yellow line
Looking back
We Didn't even see the Dust
[Chorus]
we had ups and downs
we got spun around
but we held on when the going got a little tough
it took love and faith
and some give and take
and grace
No, We Didn't even see the Dust
[Chorus]
Everybody get in for the
Long run
don't know where we're goin but the
outcome
comes with a little bit of trust
Let's go
followin' whatever way the
wind blows
flying with our hands out of the
window we
Didn't even see the Dust
see how far we'd get
driving straight ahead
Getting lost didn't seem to matter much
All we had was time
and a yellow line
Looking back
We Didn't even see the Dust
[Chorus]
we had ups and downs
we got spun around
but we held on when the going got a little tough
it took love and faith
and some give and take
and grace
No, We Didn't even see the Dust
[Chorus]
Come On And Get Some Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I love the Country
I ain't never gonna change
Like to get my hands dirty
Like to do it my own way
But don't go lookin down on me
Cause I like my chicken fried
A my my.

After working out in the fields
Hoein rows or bailin hay
That's how it is out here
Honest work for honest pay
A Hey hey
Cause I'm loud
And I'm proud
Like to get up in my pick-up and get down
Flying round the back-roads is how I like to spend my time
I can hang barbed-wire
I love big tires
And havin' fun when my chores are done
But if you think 'cause I'm from the country that I'm dumb
Come on and Get Some

But I've got knowledge yeah
Beyond what most folks see
So if you need the job done right
Well you know where I'll be

Just me and
Verline
Neath the corn rows

Virtual Life Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I'm bored
I need a new topic
search the world for another subject
and by the time I find it I've forgotten where I was
iPod and a plasma TV
on the latest reality series
surf the web and I M a bit
while I'm on my cell-phone
I'm high def
and I'm proud of it
and tivo doesn't skip a bit
if I fall asleep I know that I won't ever miss a thing
rewind, record and slow mo
satellite and digital cable
wi-fi, I'm high speed
got a Brooks & Dunn Ringtone
But you can't upload love
And you can't download time
You can't google all life's answers
But everything is gonna be alright
Cause I love you honey
and what we've got's the genuine
real deal
This ain't no
Virtual Life
I need a break
from technology
I think I owe you an apology
I've analyzed our data to quantize the way I feel
been thinking maybe I should
hold you now that would feel real good
a real female instead of e-mail sounds alright to me
Old school
Yeah, a little old fashioned
still don't know how it happened
but now we got 3 kids, a car, and a mortgage of our own
I think I finally got the lowdown
Sometimes we just need to slowdown
take time to smell the roses, pet a dog
and be in love
Ain't nothin like the real thing
I need a new topic
search the world for another subject
and by the time I find it I've forgotten where I was
iPod and a plasma TV
on the latest reality series
surf the web and I M a bit
while I'm on my cell-phone
I'm high def
and I'm proud of it
and tivo doesn't skip a bit

Worth Fighting For Lyrics – Paul Brandt
We've been around in circles 'bout a thousand times
babe it's been so long, and I just don't know why
Does it really even matter who is wrong or right anymore?
I can't believe I spoke to you that way
And I'm trying to forget the words I heard you say
how our two hearts are holding this much hate and blame
I don't know
I know I can't remember
No I don't know the reason why
we ever started fighting anymore
If we could just loose the temper
and find a way to be more tender
Our love is just too strong to ignore
And that's worth fighting for
It's just foolish pride to hold these feelings back
Cause I look into your eyes and I'm a helpless man
I know you hate it when I try to make you laugh even so
I want to hold you like I've never done
say I'm sorry long before tomorrow morning comes
show you how I know that I'm the lucky one
Cause babe I know
[Chorus]
babe it's been so long, and I just don't know why
Does it really even matter who is wrong or right anymore?
I can't believe I spoke to you that way
And I'm trying to forget the words I heard you say
how our two hearts are holding this much hate and blame
I don't know
I know I can't remember
No I don't know the reason why
we ever started fighting anymore
If we could just loose the temper
and find a way to be more tender
Our love is just too strong to ignore
And that's worth fighting for
It's just foolish pride to hold these feelings back
Cause I look into your eyes and I'm a helpless man
I know you hate it when I try to make you laugh even so
I want to hold you like I've never done
say I'm sorry long before tomorrow morning comes
show you how I know that I'm the lucky one
Cause babe I know
[Chorus]
Risk Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I'd rather stand on the edge of a cliff
hang my toes over a bit
and then jump when they dare me
even if it scares me
and I get hurt
I'd rather build my wings on the way down
do my best not to fall to the ground
and then laugh at my mistakes
cause they're only lessons I'll learn
I'd rather burn with desire
deep in my soul
and love like a fire that's
out of control
and laugh
and dance
and fall
and chance
and kiss
I'd rather live my whole life
with a sense of abandon
squeeze every drop out
no matter what happens
and not wonder what I missed
I'd rather
Risk
Oh I just can't resist the chance to
Risk
Well I guess I could just play it safe
and forget about love hope and faith
with my eye on the shoreline
keeping my boat tied
and stayin' home
But I'll never discover new land
by keeping my feet on the sand
No I'd rather set sail
And get carried away by the storm
[Chorus]
hang my toes over a bit
and then jump when they dare me
even if it scares me
and I get hurt
I'd rather build my wings on the way down
do my best not to fall to the ground
and then laugh at my mistakes
cause they're only lessons I'll learn
I'd rather burn with desire
deep in my soul
and love like a fire that's
out of control
and laugh
and dance
and fall
and chance
and kiss
I'd rather live my whole life
with a sense of abandon
squeeze every drop out
no matter what happens
and not wonder what I missed
I'd rather
Risk
Oh I just can't resist the chance to
Risk
Well I guess I could just play it safe
and forget about love hope and faith
with my eye on the shoreline
keeping my boat tied
and stayin' home
But I'll never discover new land
by keeping my feet on the sand
No I'd rather set sail
And get carried away by the storm
[Chorus]
Country Girl Lyrics – Paul Brandt
She's been in 4-H since she was nine years old
She wears overalls and has a heart of gold
She likes ATV'S and trucks, and fishin holes
But she's got a tender side
She don't let nobody tell her what to do
She thinks Jimmy Thompson's smile is kinda cute
She loves her mom and dad and she love's Jesus too
Well some things you just can't hide
She's a wild rose
Pretty as a picture and
hard to hold
off to chase the chickens
She’s a little tom-boy
but ain't she beautiful
Look out world She
Ain't afraid
running round barefoot
hair up in braids
but man does she look good
A little tom-boy
but ain't she beautiful
She's a Country Girl
Her mom and them just shake their heads when she runs by
she can't help but turn the head of every guy
If daddy even thinks about that day he cries
but whatcha gonna do?
Then the day her daddy dreaded finally came
the church, the gown, that boy, the rings. the weddin cake
She might be all grown up, but nothin's really changed
She wears overalls and has a heart of gold
She likes ATV'S and trucks, and fishin holes
But she's got a tender side
She don't let nobody tell her what to do
She thinks Jimmy Thompson's smile is kinda cute
She loves her mom and dad and she love's Jesus too
Well some things you just can't hide
She's a wild rose
Pretty as a picture and
hard to hold
off to chase the chickens
She’s a little tom-boy
but ain't she beautiful
Look out world She
Ain't afraid
running round barefoot
hair up in braids
but man does she look good
A little tom-boy
but ain't she beautiful
She's a Country Girl
Her mom and them just shake their heads when she runs by
she can't help but turn the head of every guy
If daddy even thinks about that day he cries
but whatcha gonna do?
Then the day her daddy dreaded finally came
the church, the gown, that boy, the rings. the weddin cake
She might be all grown up, but nothin's really changed
Hold On (Love Will Find You) Lyrics – Paul Brandt
It will find you at the bottom of a bottle
It will find you at the needle's end
It will find you when you beg and steal and borrow
It will follow you into a stranger's bed
It will find you when they serve you with the papers
It will find you when the locks have changed again
It will find you when you've called in all your favors
It will meet you at the bridge's highest ledge
So baby don't look down- it's a long way
The sun will come around to a new day
So hold on
Love will find you
Hold on
He's right behind you now
Just turn around
And love will find you
It will find you when the doctor's head is shaking
It will find you in a boardroom mostly dead
It will crawl into the foxhole where you're praying
It will curl up in your halfway empty bed
So baby don't believe that it's over
Maybe you can't see 'round the corner
To hang between two thieves in the darkness
Love must believe you are worth it
You're worth it
It will find you at the needle's end
It will find you when you beg and steal and borrow
It will follow you into a stranger's bed
It will find you when they serve you with the papers
It will find you when the locks have changed again
It will find you when you've called in all your favors
It will meet you at the bridge's highest ledge
So baby don't look down- it's a long way
The sun will come around to a new day
So hold on
Love will find you
Hold on
He's right behind you now
Just turn around
And love will find you
It will find you when the doctor's head is shaking
It will find you in a boardroom mostly dead
It will crawl into the foxhole where you're praying
It will curl up in your halfway empty bed
So baby don't believe that it's over
Maybe you can't see 'round the corner
To hang between two thieves in the darkness
Love must believe you are worth it
You're worth it
Learning How To Let It Go Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I've spent most my life
holdin on with all my might
I pull the reigns too tight
till I kill the thing I got
you'd think by now I'd
have this figured out with everything that we've been through together
Oh, this love can't really fly until I get the courage up to cut the string
I'm Learnin How To Let It Go
I'm learnin now that I was just a fool
to ever think I had control
You took me heart and soul
Now I'm learnin how to let it
I'm learnin how to let it go
I've been wasting time
so I hope somehow you'll find
A way to walk the line
you've had so much patience with me
you're the only one I want
you're all I need so here I am down on my knees
Go on and take me everything I have and all I am I give to you
This die-hard heart of mine always forgets
You never have it all unless you let it go
You took me heart and soul
I'm learnin how to let it
I'm learnin how to let it go
holdin on with all my might
I pull the reigns too tight
till I kill the thing I got
you'd think by now I'd
have this figured out with everything that we've been through together
Oh, this love can't really fly until I get the courage up to cut the string
I'm Learnin How To Let It Go
I'm learnin now that I was just a fool
to ever think I had control
You took me heart and soul
Now I'm learnin how to let it
I'm learnin how to let it go
I've been wasting time
so I hope somehow you'll find
A way to walk the line
you've had so much patience with me
you're the only one I want
you're all I need so here I am down on my knees
Go on and take me everything I have and all I am I give to you
This die-hard heart of mine always forgets
You never have it all unless you let it go
You took me heart and soul
I'm learnin how to let it
I'm learnin how to let it go
Scars Are Beautiful Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I've got this little scar that left it's mark down underneath my chin
from when I fell off of my bike back when I was just a kid
and oh, the pain, and how I cried, and I still remember how it bled
I know I won't forget that time and what my daddy said
Don't cry
It'll get better
In time
You'll soon forget
You'll be fine
right now it hurts some
but the healing hasn't happened yet
The pain
won't always be there
and someday
after the fall
These scrapes and scratches will remind you
of the hurt you left behind and you'll see that
Scars are beautiful
Each scar is living proof, ya they tell the truth 'bout places that you've been
They’re all roadmaps to life's lessons made by sacrifice and sin
And you can let 'em bring you down or you can hold your head up high
Don't let the chance you took to fall keep you from the chance you take to try
from when I fell off of my bike back when I was just a kid
and oh, the pain, and how I cried, and I still remember how it bled
I know I won't forget that time and what my daddy said
Don't cry
It'll get better
In time
You'll soon forget
You'll be fine
right now it hurts some
but the healing hasn't happened yet
The pain
won't always be there
and someday
after the fall
These scrapes and scratches will remind you
of the hurt you left behind and you'll see that
Scars are beautiful
Each scar is living proof, ya they tell the truth 'bout places that you've been
They’re all roadmaps to life's lessons made by sacrifice and sin
And you can let 'em bring you down or you can hold your head up high
Don't let the chance you took to fall keep you from the chance you take to try
A Friend Like This Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I know what you're going through
there were times I've been there too
we all need a shoulder to cry on
all those worries and anxieties
just let me put your mind at ease
cause the night is always darkest before the dawn
Yeah it's alright
it's gonna be ok
you don't have to worry anymore
Yeah it's alright
just let me light up the way
you never had a friend like this before
Sometimes it seems the road ahead
is twists and turns and all dead ends
it's hard to know which way to go
But I will be your life long friend
the one on whom you can depend
even when it seems like you're alone
Because it's alright
yeah, it's gonna be ok
you don't have to worry anymore
Yeah it's alright
It’s gonna be a brighter day
you don't have to worry anymore
you never had a friend like this before
Because it's alright
yeah, it's gonna be ok
you don't have to worry anymore
Yeah it's alright
It’s gonna be a bright new day
you don't have to worry anymore
you never had a friend like this before
never had a friend like this
you've never had a friend like this before
there were times I've been there too
we all need a shoulder to cry on
all those worries and anxieties
just let me put your mind at ease
cause the night is always darkest before the dawn
Yeah it's alright
it's gonna be ok
you don't have to worry anymore
Yeah it's alright
just let me light up the way
you never had a friend like this before
Sometimes it seems the road ahead
is twists and turns and all dead ends
it's hard to know which way to go
But I will be your life long friend
the one on whom you can depend
even when it seems like you're alone
Because it's alright
yeah, it's gonna be ok
you don't have to worry anymore
Yeah it's alright
It’s gonna be a brighter day
you don't have to worry anymore
you never had a friend like this before
Because it's alright
yeah, it's gonna be ok
you don't have to worry anymore
Yeah it's alright
It’s gonna be a bright new day
you don't have to worry anymore
you never had a friend like this before
never had a friend like this
you've never had a friend like this before
The Little Space Between Lyrics – Paul Brandt
It's now or never
Don't hesitate
It ain't true that good things come
to those who wait
Before forever
Takes all our time
We just spend moments
Till we spend our lives
Get 'er done
Get to it
Cause there's only one time through it
There's only one thing we're all heading for
It goes 1972 dash then
You leave your legacy
In that little space between
Have you forgiven
Did you forget
Is it worth keeping
All those regrets
And is there someone
Who gave it all for you
Don't that make you
Want to give it your all to?
You spend your money
You take each breath
You steal some kisses
You give and get
and then it goes
Don't hesitate
It ain't true that good things come
to those who wait
Before forever
Takes all our time
We just spend moments
Till we spend our lives
Get 'er done
Get to it
Cause there's only one time through it
There's only one thing we're all heading for
It goes 1972 dash then
You leave your legacy
In that little space between
Have you forgiven
Did you forget
Is it worth keeping
All those regrets
And is there someone
Who gave it all for you
Don't that make you
Want to give it your all to?
You spend your money
You take each breath
You steal some kisses
You give and get
and then it goes
Out Here On My Own Lyrics – Paul Brandt
The high-wire act is done
Safety net, don’t need one
Once you fall, it’s freedom and a song
I’m out here on my own
Out here on my own
With the Lord to guide me
And your prayers behind me, I feel strong
I’m out here on my own
And as I dream of you beside me
Love and faith still lead me through
And every road I take reminds me
I’m comin’ home to you
Out here on my own
If the spotlights dimmer
And the crowds grow thinner
And I’ll be home for
Dinner
With my songs
Instead of out here on my own
I’m out here on my own
Safety net, don’t need one
Once you fall, it’s freedom and a song
I’m out here on my own
Out here on my own
With the Lord to guide me
And your prayers behind me, I feel strong
I’m out here on my own
And as I dream of you beside me
Love and faith still lead me through
And every road I take reminds me
I’m comin’ home to you
Out here on my own
If the spotlights dimmer
And the crowds grow thinner
And I’ll be home for
Dinner
With my songs
Instead of out here on my own
I’m out here on my own
Let It Snow Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
A Gift Lyrics – Paul Brandt
On the other side of the world
there's a little boy or a girl
who's never heard about A Gift
or of Christmas or even what that is
That must have been how it seemed
back before that old manger scene
back before the world even knew
about Jesus and what he would do
It must have been so dark and cold
there must have been so little hope
Sometimes I wonder where I'd be
If no one had sent A Gift to me
But wrapped in mercy, grace and love
A Gift was sent from up above
Unconditional and free
That Little Gift changed everything
On the other side of the world
there's a little boy or a girl
Who all because of A Gift
Finally knows what Christmas is
there's a little boy or a girl
who's never heard about A Gift
or of Christmas or even what that is
That must have been how it seemed
back before that old manger scene
back before the world even knew
about Jesus and what he would do
It must have been so dark and cold
there must have been so little hope
Sometimes I wonder where I'd be
If no one had sent A Gift to me
But wrapped in mercy, grace and love
A Gift was sent from up above
Unconditional and free
That Little Gift changed everything
On the other side of the world
there's a little boy or a girl
Who all because of A Gift
Finally knows what Christmas is
White Christmas Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
Christmas Convoy Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Ah Breaker one nine, this here's the lead reindeer, you got a copy on me Frosty come on?
Ah ya 10-4 there Frosty, fer sure fer sure, by golly sure hope we still have a holly jolly one come on?
Yeah that's a big 10 4 there Frosty, yeah we definitely got our hands full tonight good buddy, mercy sakes alive we need a Christmas Convoy!
It was the dark of the moon,
and it was Christmas soon
Only a day away
D.O.T. was cracking down
and the toys had been delayed
we were stuck in a drift at the ol' North Pole
with eight mighty anxious reindeer
and if Santa didn't get some help
Christmas wouldn't come this year
We need a Christmas Convoy
this ain't no silent night
We need a Christmas Convoy
jingle bells and Christmas lights
Come on and join the Convoy
and nothing's gonna get in our way
Santa and his Christmas Convoy
in his great big Peterbuilt sleigh
Christmas Convoy
Breaker Frosty this here's ol' red nose, yeah you wanna move it on over for Santa?
Yeah 10-4, he's greasy side up but we're bout' to turn this salt-shaker out
well we all pulled outta the 'ol North Pole
ears on, eyes open wide
we were shaking the bushes, lookin for bear
in our triple digit ride
That wiggle wagon had his bird dog on as it hovered 'bove the ground
red green and white for chicken lights
decked out and loud and proud
Ah Frosty, yeah we're 10-33 and back door now, you're gonna hafta back off the hammer a bit cause we're double nickle and 'bout to hit the big road
Well the big elf blew the doors off
his eight reindeer powered ride
and flew on past the bear's den
in Georgia Overdrive
when on the black ice up ahead
there proved to be a pinch
a barricading roadblock
had been set up by the Grinch
Well there were teddy bears and cars and trucks and toys of every size
teetering out of the top of Santa's shiny ride
but Santa couldn't back 'em up
no matter what the cost
cause if he let that 'ol Grinch stop us
this year's Christmas would be lost
Ah Rudolph to Santa's Better Half, ah ya Mrs.
Clause you're gonna wear your bumper out if you don't back off a bit, we're coming up on antler alley, and we need all the help we can get
The grinch and all his henchmen
lined up on the road ahead
And Santa rolled his window down
and his nose and cheeks turned red
He pulled his hat on low and tight
and put the hammer down
and with a ho ho ho, he was slingin snow
singin Santa Claus is coming to town!
Yeah 10-4 Frosty what's your twenty? Guitar Town! Well they oughta know
what to do with them toys down there for sure, well mercy sakes good

Hands Lyrics – Paul Brandt
It is the greatest story ever told
The Prince leaves his palace and his noble throne
To fight a battle for his subject’s souls
The fate of the world in his royal hands
And it was an unlikely battleground
With the cows and the sheep and the shepherds gathered round
As Mary held him her heart began to pound
The weight of the world in a baby’s hands
Betrayed by the very hearts he came to save
Father forgive them someone heard him say
Then like a gift He gave his life away
Held out to the world with His nail-pierced hands
The Hands that put the stars in place, bound by hands He made
When people ask what Christmas means to me
I think of the Prince up on that Christmas tree
I tell them about how His love set me free
When He changed my life with a touch of His hands
With His hands
The Prince leaves his palace and his noble throne
To fight a battle for his subject’s souls
The fate of the world in his royal hands
And it was an unlikely battleground
With the cows and the sheep and the shepherds gathered round
As Mary held him her heart began to pound
The weight of the world in a baby’s hands
Betrayed by the very hearts he came to save
Father forgive them someone heard him say
Then like a gift He gave his life away
Held out to the world with His nail-pierced hands
The Hands that put the stars in place, bound by hands He made
When people ask what Christmas means to me
I think of the Prince up on that Christmas tree
I tell them about how His love set me free
When He changed my life with a touch of His hands
With His hands
Go Tell It On The Mountain Lyrics – Paul Brandt
When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day,
I asked the Lord to help me,
And he showed me the say.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
He made me a watchman
Upon that city wall,
And if I am a Christian,
I am the least of all.
(Cause it was Him that told me to)
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
I sought both night and day,
I asked the Lord to help me,
And he showed me the say.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
He made me a watchman
Upon that city wall,
And if I am a Christian,
I am the least of all.
(Cause it was Him that told me to)
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
I'll Be Home For Christmas Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas eve will find you
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have some snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas eve will find you
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have some snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
Winter Wonderland Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Sleigh bells ring
are you listening?
in the lane
snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
as we go along
walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
we'll say: No man
But you can do the job
when you're in town
Later on
we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
the plans that we've made
walking in a winter wonderland
(Ah, just look at this place, there’s snow men, and new birds, and you, and me, I think we should stay a while… isn’t it wonderful?)
are you listening?
in the lane
snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
as we go along
walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
we'll say: No man
But you can do the job
when you're in town
Later on
we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
the plans that we've made
walking in a winter wonderland
(Ah, just look at this place, there’s snow men, and new birds, and you, and me, I think we should stay a while… isn’t it wonderful?)
Mary, Did You Know? Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Mary did you know
That your baby boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new;
The child that you delivered
Will soon deliver you?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby,
You kiss the face of God!
Oh Mary did you know?
Oh Mary did you know?
The blind will see, the deaf will hear
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb.
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is Heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping child you're holding
Is the great I Am!
That your baby boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new;
The child that you delivered
Will soon deliver you?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby,
You kiss the face of God!
Oh Mary did you know?
Oh Mary did you know?
The blind will see, the deaf will hear
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb.
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is Heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping child you're holding
Is the great I Am!
We Three Kings Lyrics – Paul Brandt
We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.
Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.
Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, voices raising,
Worshipping God on high.
Myrrh is mine,
Its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone cold tomb.
Glorious now behold Him arise;
King and God and sacrifice;
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Sounds through the earth and skies.
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,

Convoy Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck.
You gotta copy on me, Pig Pen, c'mon? Ah, yeah, 10-4, Pig Pen, fer shure, fer shure.
By golly, it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon.
Yeah, that's a big 10-4 there, Pig Pen, yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy.
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy...
Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth pullin' logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky Town
I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.
"And I'm about to put the hammer down."
'Cause we got a little convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a little convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the U-S-A.
Convoy!
Ah, breaker, Pig Pen, this here's the Duck. And, you wanna back off them hogs?
Yeah, 10-4, 'bout five mile or so. Ten, roger. Them hogs is gettin' in-tense up here.
By the time we got into Tulsa Town,
We had eighty-five trucks in all.
But they's a roadblock up on the cloverleaf,
And them bears was wall-to-wall.
Yeah, them smokies is thick as bugs on a bumper;
They even had a bear in the air!
I says, "Callin' all trucks, this here's the Duck.
"We about to go a-huntin' bear."
'Cause we got a great big convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a great big convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the U-S-A.
Convoy!
Ah, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that, Pig Pen? Negatory, Pig Pen; you're still too close.
Yeah, them hogs is startin' to close up my sinuses. Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten.
Well, we rolled up Interstate 44
Like a rocket sled on rails.
We tore up all of our swindle sheets,
And left 'em settin' on the scales.
By the time we hit that Chi-town,
Them bears was a-gettin' smart:
They'd brought up some reinforcements
From the Illinoise National Guard.
There's armored cars, and tanks, and jeeps,
And rigs of ev'ry size.
Yeah, them chicken coops was full'a bears
And choppers filled the skies.
Well, we shot the line and we went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
An' eleven long-haired Friends a' Jesus
In a chartreuse micra-bus.
Ah, Rubber Duck to Sodbuster, come over. Yeah, 10-4, Sodbuster? Lissen,
you wanna put that micra-bus in behind that suicide jockey? Yeah, he's
haulin' dynamite, and he needs all the help he can get.
Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey shore
And prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge was lined with bears
But I didn't have a dog-goned dime.
I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.
"We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll."
So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight
I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4."
'Cause we got a mighty convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a mighty convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the U-S-A.
Convoy! Ah, 10-4, Pig Pen, what's your twenty?

Leavin' Lyrics – Paul Brandt
C’mon hurry
Ain’t no time for worrying
Gotta go
Move on
Just leave the lights on
Grab some clothes, set those sights on
that 4 lane road
I’m gone
In a truck, in a train, in a car, in a bus
Change my luck, Can’t stay, Going far, In a rush
Got that getaway feeling
I’m Leaving
Trust me
Something better’s gotta be
Right around
This next turn
Gonna be just fine
Toss the map, don’t look behind
Push that pedal down
Burn
Here I go
(In a truck, in a train, in a car, in a bus
Change my luck, Can’t stay, Going far, In a rush
White lines, Exit signs, Can’t fly
Fast enough) (second) (solo)
Black top, Rail way, Spinning wheels
Don’t stop
If you’re waiting on me
You’re backing up
Got that getaway feeling
I’m Leaving
Ain’t no time for worrying
Gotta go
Move on
Just leave the lights on
Grab some clothes, set those sights on
that 4 lane road
I’m gone
In a truck, in a train, in a car, in a bus
Change my luck, Can’t stay, Going far, In a rush
Got that getaway feeling
I’m Leaving
Trust me
Something better’s gotta be
Right around
This next turn
Gonna be just fine
Toss the map, don’t look behind
Push that pedal down
Burn
Here I go
(In a truck, in a train, in a car, in a bus
Change my luck, Can’t stay, Going far, In a rush
White lines, Exit signs, Can’t fly
Fast enough) (second) (solo)
Black top, Rail way, Spinning wheels
Don’t stop
If you’re waiting on me
You’re backing up
Got that getaway feeling

Home Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Front porch light would be turned on
And I was always gone too long
Curfew was at 10pm
And I’d sneak in trying not to wake him when I got
Home
Daddy always said I was half a bubble off plumb
Head-strong and stubborn, and maybe I was
Yeah, I couldn’t wait to leave
Last place I in the world I wanted to be was
Home
Now I’m flying down that old dirt road
But it seems these wheels are spinning slow
I’d never left that way if I’d have only known
He’s gone, so here I am
Home
I sat in my car and cried
Wished to God he was still alive
Inside, mama wiped my tears
She said, He would have been so happy that you’re here at Home
Then I thought about my life
And about my kids and about my wife
And about how time just flies no matter what you do
And every soccer game I have missed
And every time I fight when I could forgive
And how I can’t let it come to this
When I get home
Now I’m flying down that old dirt road
But it seems these wheels are spinning slow
And it’s taken me a while but now I finally know
Everything that matters most is at
Home
And I was always gone too long
Curfew was at 10pm
And I’d sneak in trying not to wake him when I got
Home
Daddy always said I was half a bubble off plumb
Head-strong and stubborn, and maybe I was
Yeah, I couldn’t wait to leave
Last place I in the world I wanted to be was
Home
Now I’m flying down that old dirt road
But it seems these wheels are spinning slow
I’d never left that way if I’d have only known
He’s gone, so here I am
Home
I sat in my car and cried
Wished to God he was still alive
Inside, mama wiped my tears
She said, He would have been so happy that you’re here at Home
Then I thought about my life
And about my kids and about my wife
And about how time just flies no matter what you do
And every soccer game I have missed
And every time I fight when I could forgive
And how I can’t let it come to this
When I get home
Now I’m flying down that old dirt road
But it seems these wheels are spinning slow
And it’s taken me a while but now I finally know
Everything that matters most is at
Home
Alberta Bound Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Sign said 40 miles to Canada
My truck tore across Montana
Ian Tyson sang a lonesome lullaby
And so I cranked up the radio
Cause there’s just a little more to go
For I’d cross the border at that Sweet Grass sign
I’m Alberta Bound
This piece of heaven that I’ve found
Rocky Mountains and black fertile ground
Everything I need beneath that big blue sky
Doesn’t matter where I go
This place will always be my home
Yeah I’ve been Alberta Bound for all my life
And I’ll be Alberta Bound until I die
It’s a pride that’s been passed down to me
Deep as coal mines, wide as farmer’s fields
Yeah, I’ve got independence in my veins
Maybe it’s my down-home redneck roots
Or these dusty ‘ol Alberta boots
But like a Chinook wind keeps coming back again
My truck tore across Montana
Ian Tyson sang a lonesome lullaby
And so I cranked up the radio
Cause there’s just a little more to go
For I’d cross the border at that Sweet Grass sign
I’m Alberta Bound
This piece of heaven that I’ve found
Rocky Mountains and black fertile ground
Everything I need beneath that big blue sky
Doesn’t matter where I go
This place will always be my home
Yeah I’ve been Alberta Bound for all my life
And I’ll be Alberta Bound until I die
It’s a pride that’s been passed down to me
Deep as coal mines, wide as farmer’s fields
Yeah, I’ve got independence in my veins
Maybe it’s my down-home redneck roots
Or these dusty ‘ol Alberta boots
But like a Chinook wind keeps coming back again
Run To Me Lyrics – Paul Brandt
When you’re all alone in the dark
And it’s hard not to be afraid
When your candle’s losing it’s spark (when you’re losing hope in your heart)
And it seems that you can’t find your way
Look straight ahead, don’t cry and don’t look back
Leave your regrets behind you in the past
Run to me
I will always be
The hand you can hold when you’re lonely and cold
I will warm you I adore you
You’re always in my heart
No matter where you are
When it’s love you need (Come to me)
Baby you can run to me
Nothing you ever say
And nothing you could ever do
Is gonna change the way (Is gonna drive me away)
That I’ll always be loving you
I’ll be your sky, I’ll be a soft place to fall
Baby this love is unconditional
When it’s midnight on a winding road
And you don’t know where you are or where to go
Through the rain, call my name,
And I will run to you.
And it’s hard not to be afraid
When your candle’s losing it’s spark (when you’re losing hope in your heart)
And it seems that you can’t find your way
Look straight ahead, don’t cry and don’t look back
Leave your regrets behind you in the past
Run to me
I will always be
The hand you can hold when you’re lonely and cold
I will warm you I adore you
You’re always in my heart
No matter where you are
When it’s love you need (Come to me)
Baby you can run to me
Nothing you ever say
And nothing you could ever do
Is gonna change the way (Is gonna drive me away)
That I’ll always be loving you
I’ll be your sky, I’ll be a soft place to fall
Baby this love is unconditional
When it’s midnight on a winding road
And you don’t know where you are or where to go
Through the rain, call my name,
And I will run to you.
The King Lyrics – Paul Brandt
The other day
I got in a fight
In involved me and my foot in my mouth
And my wife
Then I got to thinking
Wouldn’t it be grand
If with every word I said
My wish was the world’s command
I’d be the king
I’d be the top
I’d give myself a raise
Throw my own parade
Number one, the chief, the boss
I’d be the king
No honey-do list
I’d make all the rules (I’d rule)
Whatever I say is the way that it goes
That’d be cool
And I’d go fishing
Or maybe watch sports on TV
And folks would carry me around
And I’d get to wear a crown
And I’d never spend a day on my feet
Chorus-solo-rpt chorus
I’d be living large
I’d be in charge
& the world would bow to me
I’d be the king
It happened again
I got in a fight
In involved me and my foot in my mouth
And my wife
I got in a fight
In involved me and my foot in my mouth
And my wife
Then I got to thinking
Wouldn’t it be grand
If with every word I said
My wish was the world’s command
I’d be the king
I’d be the top
I’d give myself a raise
Throw my own parade
Number one, the chief, the boss
I’d be the king
No honey-do list
I’d make all the rules (I’d rule)
Whatever I say is the way that it goes
That’d be cool
And I’d go fishing
Or maybe watch sports on TV
And folks would carry me around
And I’d get to wear a crown
And I’d never spend a day on my feet
Chorus-solo-rpt chorus
I’d be living large
I’d be in charge
& the world would bow to me
I’d be the king
It happened again
I got in a fight
In involved me and my foot in my mouth
And my wife
Live Now Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I heard it from a newborn baby
Loud and clear in that first breath of air
I heard it when grandpa was dying
It was faintly there
Live now
Live now
I guess it really is quite simple
Sometimes it’s easier said than done
But all the cool rain does is fall down
And all the river does is run
(all we really have to do is)
Live now
Live now
We’re not promised tomorrow
Like vapor, this these days here are fading away
Baby, this time I’m holding you is borrowed
But every second by God’s grace, I’m gonna
Live Now
I’ve learned I can’t control the future
I’ve learned I must forgive the past somehow
Cause we are here only a moment
And life’s too short not to live now
Loud and clear in that first breath of air
I heard it when grandpa was dying
It was faintly there
Live now
Live now
I guess it really is quite simple
Sometimes it’s easier said than done
But all the cool rain does is fall down
And all the river does is run
(all we really have to do is)
Live now
Live now
We’re not promised tomorrow
Like vapor, this these days here are fading away
Baby, this time I’m holding you is borrowed
But every second by God’s grace, I’m gonna
Live Now
I’ve learned I can’t control the future
I’ve learned I must forgive the past somehow
Cause we are here only a moment
And life’s too short not to live now
Rich Man Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I look in the mirror
Don’t see much
Fashion sense a little out of touch
The house is run down as the bills pile up
But I’m rich man
Breakfast table
Morning rush
Sometimes it seems we barely have enough
But if it’s true that you need is love
Then I’m a rich man
When she smiles
Or they call me daddy
All the worries of the world just seem to fade away
I’m alive
And I know what matters
If this is all I ever have (well that’s ok,) I’m proud to say
I’m a rich man
So every morning
And brand new day
With each and every single breath I take
I’m blessed and I’m thankful, yeah I’ve got it made
Oh, I’m so glad life turned out this way
I’ve loved, I’ve been loved, show me someone else with as much as me
Don’t see much
Fashion sense a little out of touch
The house is run down as the bills pile up
But I’m rich man
Breakfast table
Morning rush
Sometimes it seems we barely have enough
But if it’s true that you need is love
Then I’m a rich man
When she smiles
Or they call me daddy
All the worries of the world just seem to fade away
I’m alive
And I know what matters
If this is all I ever have (well that’s ok,) I’m proud to say
I’m a rich man
So every morning
And brand new day
With each and every single breath I take
I’m blessed and I’m thankful, yeah I’ve got it made
Oh, I’m so glad life turned out this way
I’ve loved, I’ve been loved, show me someone else with as much as me
I Still Do Lyrics – Paul Brandt
It’s in the way you move me
The way you look right through me
Still brings me down to my knees
Every time you smile
And after all this time love
It’s still hard to get enough
From the very first time I thought you were the one
Who’d make all of my dreams come true
I still do
I’m still amazed every time that we kiss
I still do
I’m never gonna stop feeling like this
Like the first time that I fell for you
I still do
They all might say we’re crazy
Sometimes I think we may be
When I think about the way we
Live like life’s a dare
I’d lay my life down for you
I’d do anything to prove it’s true
I’d lay my life down for you
I’d do anything to prove it’s true
The way you look right through me
Still brings me down to my knees
Every time you smile
And after all this time love
It’s still hard to get enough
From the very first time I thought you were the one
Who’d make all of my dreams come true
I still do
I’m still amazed every time that we kiss
I still do
I’m never gonna stop feeling like this
Like the first time that I fell for you
I still do
They all might say we’re crazy
Sometimes I think we may be
When I think about the way we
Live like life’s a dare
I’d lay my life down for you
I’d do anything to prove it’s true
I’d lay my life down for you
I’d do anything to prove it’s true
This Time Around Lyrics – Paul Brandt
This time around
Is the only time you get
Like an hourglass
That cain’t never be turned again
Once it’s done
All you are is who you’ve been
So I’m diving in
Sink or swim
This time around
This time around
Gonna love with all my heart
Do my best
Not to finish where I start
No regrets
Set my course among the stars
No looking back
No point in that
This time around
Each waking moment’s what you make it
Don’t let a minute pass you by
This is the only chance so take it
All you have to do is spread your wings and fly
This time around
This time around
All I ever want to do
Is hold on loosely
To everything but you
And at the end
After all that we’ve been through
I’ll know in my soul
That I had it all
This time around
Is the only time you get
Like an hourglass
That cain’t never be turned again
Once it’s done
All you are is who you’ve been
So I’m diving in
Sink or swim
This time around
This time around
Gonna love with all my heart
Do my best
Not to finish where I start
No regrets
Set my course among the stars
No looking back
No point in that
This time around
Each waking moment’s what you make it
Don’t let a minute pass you by
This is the only chance so take it
All you have to do is spread your wings and fly
This time around
This time around
All I ever want to do
Is hold on loosely
To everything but you
And at the end
After all that we’ve been through
I’ll know in my soul
That I had it all
This time around
That's What I Love About Jesus Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I’ve had people say
That I’m a self made man
I’d like to set the record straight
Because I never could have planned
The way my life has gone
And the blessings I’ve received
It had nothing to do with me
I love to sing and play
And travel with these songs
But I’ve got to give the praise
Back to where it all belongs
Before I was even born
He knew what my job would be
He made me who I am for all the world to see
That’s what I love about Him
That’s why I talk about Him
And friend I’d be lost with out Him
He makes this world make sense to me
He let his life end
Just so he could be my friend
That’s what I love about Jesus
Now it doesn’t make me perfect
Or any better than you
And yes He is a crutch
And He’s my wheelchair too
Cause I can’t do it on my own
He gives me all my strength
His power helps me make it through each day
So if you hear this song
You’ve got to make a choice
To just keep rolling along
Or listen to His voice
Since I gave my heart to Him
I have been set free
And He’s made all the difference to me
That I’m a self made man
I’d like to set the record straight
Because I never could have planned
The way my life has gone
And the blessings I’ve received
It had nothing to do with me
I love to sing and play
And travel with these songs
But I’ve got to give the praise
Back to where it all belongs
Before I was even born
He knew what my job would be
He made me who I am for all the world to see
That’s what I love about Him
That’s why I talk about Him
And friend I’d be lost with out Him
He makes this world make sense to me
He let his life end
Just so he could be my friend
That’s what I love about Jesus
Now it doesn’t make me perfect
Or any better than you
And yes He is a crutch
And He’s my wheelchair too
Cause I can’t do it on my own
He gives me all my strength
His power helps me make it through each day
So if you hear this song
You’ve got to make a choice
To just keep rolling along
Or listen to His voice
Since I gave my heart to Him
I have been set free
And He’s made all the difference to me
Small Towns And Big Dreams Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I grew up in a small town
A wheat-fields-for-a-downtown kind of place
There was really not much around
You blink and you miss it
I never knew what life would bring
But I always had big dreams
I’d love to play my guitar and sing
And every night I’d wish that
I’d get a shot on the Opry stage
And have people come and see me play
Blastin’ on the radio waves
Enough to make my mama cry
That’s where I come from
That’s who I am
Hard-workin’ and God-blessed
Yes sir, and thank you ma’am
The best things around that I have ever seen
Came from small towns & big dreams
That small town went and grew up
But I never changed much by God’s grace
Friends and family kept in touch
When I moved to Tennessee
I sing my songs and travel round
I met a girl and we’re settling down
We want to find a small town
Where we can raise a family (cause)
Been around the world don’t matter anywhere I go
From small town stars to city lights I’ve found my kind of folks
It’s about you and who you are, it’s all a state of mind
And as I’m givin’ you my heart I hope you find that
A wheat-fields-for-a-downtown kind of place
There was really not much around
You blink and you miss it
I never knew what life would bring
But I always had big dreams
I’d love to play my guitar and sing
And every night I’d wish that
I’d get a shot on the Opry stage
And have people come and see me play
Blastin’ on the radio waves
Enough to make my mama cry
That’s where I come from
That’s who I am
Hard-workin’ and God-blessed
Yes sir, and thank you ma’am
The best things around that I have ever seen
Came from small towns & big dreams
That small town went and grew up
But I never changed much by God’s grace
Friends and family kept in touch
When I moved to Tennessee
I sing my songs and travel round
I met a girl and we’re settling down
We want to find a small town
Where we can raise a family (cause)
Been around the world don’t matter anywhere I go
From small town stars to city lights I’ve found my kind of folks
It’s about you and who you are, it’s all a state of mind
And as I’m givin’ you my heart I hope you find that
I'm Gonna Fly Lyrics – Paul Brandt
7 years old in my radio flyer
red cape tied around my neck
top of Thompson’s hill, Billy said I was a liar
and now I’m scared half to death
Becky said Billy was dumb I shouldn’t listen to him
but I had something to prove
ain’t nobody gonna call me a chicken
gotta do what you gotta do
I’m gonna fly
Defying space and gravity
I’m gonna fly
Billy just you wait and see
I was just a kid, barely 18 years
And I couldn’t wait to graduate
Confident and cocky, and man, it really got me
When I heard my daddy say
“you oughta get some knowledge, you gotta go to college,
gotta make something of your life.”
But I had to do it my way, so I headed for the highway
And I followed those little white lines
I’m gonna fly
Defying space and gravity
I’m gonna fly
Making my own destiny
I crashed and burned, but I don’t regret it
You only fail when you don’t try
Gonna brush off the ashes and just forget it
I’m ain’t perfect yet but you can bet someday I’m gonna get my wings and fly
I’m gonna fly
Defying space and gravity
I’m gonna fly
You gotta believe
I’m gonna fly
Making my own destiny
I’m gonna fly
You gotta believe
red cape tied around my neck
top of Thompson’s hill, Billy said I was a liar
and now I’m scared half to death
Becky said Billy was dumb I shouldn’t listen to him
but I had something to prove
ain’t nobody gonna call me a chicken
gotta do what you gotta do
I’m gonna fly
Defying space and gravity
I’m gonna fly
Billy just you wait and see
I was just a kid, barely 18 years
And I couldn’t wait to graduate
Confident and cocky, and man, it really got me
When I heard my daddy say
“you oughta get some knowledge, you gotta go to college,
gotta make something of your life.”
But I had to do it my way, so I headed for the highway
And I followed those little white lines
I’m gonna fly
Defying space and gravity
I’m gonna fly
Making my own destiny
I crashed and burned, but I don’t regret it
You only fail when you don’t try
Gonna brush off the ashes and just forget it
I’m ain’t perfect yet but you can bet someday I’m gonna get my wings and fly
I’m gonna fly
Defying space and gravity
I’m gonna fly
You gotta believe
I’m gonna fly
Making my own destiny
I’m gonna fly
You gotta believe
Take It Off Lyrics – Paul Brandt
If you’ve got worry on your mind
And pain that’s pilin’ up inside your heart
Take it off
If the peace that you’ve been tryin’ to find
Is held down by a load of lies and scars
Take it off
Take it off
There’s a place that we all try to hid
Covered up with guilt and pride we walk
Take it off
Just leave your crooked past behind
Look straight into my lovin’ eyes and let’s talk
Take it off
Now baby I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout sexuality
Just close your eyes and lay your naked heart down next to me
Let’s wrap ourselves in truth and honesty
And Take it off
(solo)
Now baby I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout sexuality
Just close your eyes and lay your naked heart down next to me
Let’s wrap ourselves in truth and honesty
If the pressure’s builin’ in on you
I’ll be there to help you through, I’ll try
To Take it off
And pain that’s pilin’ up inside your heart
Take it off
If the peace that you’ve been tryin’ to find
Is held down by a load of lies and scars
Take it off
Take it off
There’s a place that we all try to hid
Covered up with guilt and pride we walk
Take it off
Just leave your crooked past behind
Look straight into my lovin’ eyes and let’s talk
Take it off
Now baby I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout sexuality
Just close your eyes and lay your naked heart down next to me
Let’s wrap ourselves in truth and honesty
And Take it off
(solo)
Now baby I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout sexuality
Just close your eyes and lay your naked heart down next to me
Let’s wrap ourselves in truth and honesty
If the pressure’s builin’ in on you
I’ll be there to help you through, I’ll try
To Take it off
Warm Sunny Beaches Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I’m fed up with my work
And the boss is a jerk
It feels like I’m wasting my time
In a dead-end job
I’m having to rob
Peter to pay Paul a dime
Why don’t we jump in my car
Just to see how far
This ol’ beat up rambler will drive
And trade it all in for the
Taste of tequila and lime (and)
Warm sunny beaches
Follow the wind where it blows
Tall palm trees greet us
Blue ocean waving hello
You could be my senorita
Oh and I’ll never let you go
Drinkin’ cold marguerites
On the warm sunny beaches
In Mexico
Every sunny day
We could laugh at the way
We used to live nine to five
In a hammock-swing
We’ll forget everything
Nothing but love on our minds
And after siesta
We’ll have a fiesta
And party until morning-time
And when the sun comes up (stops)
we’ll be singing out Ay ay ay ay! (on)
And the boss is a jerk
It feels like I’m wasting my time
In a dead-end job
I’m having to rob
Peter to pay Paul a dime
Why don’t we jump in my car
Just to see how far
This ol’ beat up rambler will drive
And trade it all in for the
Taste of tequila and lime (and)
Warm sunny beaches
Follow the wind where it blows
Tall palm trees greet us
Blue ocean waving hello
You could be my senorita
Oh and I’ll never let you go
Drinkin’ cold marguerites
On the warm sunny beaches
In Mexico
Every sunny day
We could laugh at the way
We used to live nine to five
In a hammock-swing
We’ll forget everything
Nothing but love on our minds
And after siesta
We’ll have a fiesta
And party until morning-time
And when the sun comes up (stops)
we’ll be singing out Ay ay ay ay! (on)
Cry If You Want To Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Cry if you want to
I won’t tell you not to
I won’t try to cheer you up
I’ll just be here if you want me
There’s no use in keeping
A stiff upper lip
You can weep you can sleep
You can loosen your grip
You can frown, you can drown,
and go down with the ship, you can
Cry if you want to
Don’t ever apologize venting your pain
It’s something to me you don’t need to explain
I don’t need to know why
I don’t think it’s insane, you can
Cry if you want to
The windows are closed,
The neighbors aren’t home
If it’s better with me than to do it alone,
I’ll draw all the curtains and unplug the phone, you can
Cry if you want to
You can stare at the ceiling and
Tear at your hair
Swallow your feelings and stagger and swear
You can show things and throw things
And I wouldn’t care, you can
Cry if you want to
No, I won’t make fun of you
I won’t tell anyone
I won’t analyze what you do or you should have done
I won’t advise you to go and have fun, you can
Cry if you want to
Well it’s empty and ugly and terribly sad
I can’t feel what you feel, but I know it feels bad
I know that it’s real and it makes you so mad
You could cry
Cry if you want to
I won’t tell you not to
I won’t try to cheer you up
I’ll just be here if you want me to be near you
I won’t tell you not to
I won’t try to cheer you up
I’ll just be here if you want me
There’s no use in keeping
A stiff upper lip
You can weep you can sleep
You can loosen your grip
You can frown, you can drown,
and go down with the ship, you can
Cry if you want to
Don’t ever apologize venting your pain
It’s something to me you don’t need to explain
I don’t need to know why
I don’t think it’s insane, you can
Cry if you want to
The windows are closed,
The neighbors aren’t home
If it’s better with me than to do it alone,
I’ll draw all the curtains and unplug the phone, you can
Cry if you want to
You can stare at the ceiling and
Tear at your hair
Swallow your feelings and stagger and swear
You can show things and throw things
And I wouldn’t care, you can
Cry if you want to
No, I won’t make fun of you
I won’t tell anyone
I won’t analyze what you do or you should have done
I won’t advise you to go and have fun, you can
Cry if you want to
Well it’s empty and ugly and terribly sad
I can’t feel what you feel, but I know it feels bad
I know that it’s real and it makes you so mad
You could cry
Cry if you want to
I won’t tell you not to
I won’t try to cheer you up
I’ll just be here if you want me to be near you
If This Isn't Love Lyrics – Paul Brandt
If this isn’t love
What else could it be
What’s happened to you
What’s happening to me
If this isn’t love
What else is so strong
Or feels half as good
Or last’s half as long
Now I am not an expert
On matters such as this
Romance has always left me in the dark
But with each brush of your sweet touch
And every lingering kiss
I think that Cupid’s finally found his mark
Could it be a bug
Or maybe the flu
That’s going around
You say that you’ve got it too
If this isn’t love
What else could it be
If this isn’t love
Then it’s alright with me
If this isn’t love
Then it’s alright with me
What else could it be
What’s happened to you
What’s happening to me
If this isn’t love
What else is so strong
Or feels half as good
Or last’s half as long
Now I am not an expert
On matters such as this
Romance has always left me in the dark
But with each brush of your sweet touch
And every lingering kiss
I think that Cupid’s finally found his mark
Could it be a bug
Or maybe the flu
That’s going around
You say that you’ve got it too
If this isn’t love
What else could it be
If this isn’t love
Then it’s alright with me
If this isn’t love
Then it’s alright with me
When You Call My Name Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Give me a moment
To try to explain it
And how it has changed
The man that I am
Life has a way
When you try to arrange it
Of making a fool
Of the best-laid plans
Guess what I'm tryin to say, is that you took me by surprise
One word is all that it takes, and forever's on my mind
It happens every time
I hear the sweetest sound
My world stops turnin round
Like I'm on holy ground
When you call my name
It sets the sky on fire
Burnin with my desire
Stronger, deeper, higher
When you call my name
The way that it moves me
It's simply amazing
Somehow it seems
Much bigger than words
When you call my name
Angels start singing
Most beautiful sound
That I ever heard
And it starts all over again, this feeling deep inside
A blessed chain of events, a heaven sent design
It happens every time
When you call my name
Ahhh…
When you call my name
Oooo…
It happens every time
To try to explain it
And how it has changed
The man that I am
Life has a way
When you try to arrange it
Of making a fool
Of the best-laid plans
Guess what I'm tryin to say, is that you took me by surprise
One word is all that it takes, and forever's on my mind
It happens every time
I hear the sweetest sound
My world stops turnin round
Like I'm on holy ground
When you call my name
It sets the sky on fire
Burnin with my desire
Stronger, deeper, higher
When you call my name
The way that it moves me
It's simply amazing
Somehow it seems
Much bigger than words
When you call my name
Angels start singing
Most beautiful sound
That I ever heard
And it starts all over again, this feeling deep inside
A blessed chain of events, a heaven sent design
It happens every time
When you call my name
Ahhh…
When you call my name
Oooo…
It happens every time
It's All Good Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I get paid peanuts
Ah, what a life
I live for lottery tickets and Friday night
And hoping that someday I’ll get it right
But it’s all good
In-laws, out-laws,
Baby cries
Three in the morning with bloodshot eyes
It’s a lot more work than I realized
But it’s all good
Sometimes it’s hard to see the positive at all
Little things pile up this they’re a lot
Stress and pressure builds and gets uncomfortable
Until you get your shorts tied in a knot
But it’s all good
It’s easy feeling like you’ve really lost control
When things fall all apart and come unwound
But you can stand all day just staring at the obstacles
Or you can try to find a way to get around
Now I love you, and you love me
Ain’t got much money, but I feel like a king
And even if I could I wouldn’t change a thing
Cause it’s all good
I look at this big beautiful world and I just have to think
That it’s all good
Ah, what a life
I live for lottery tickets and Friday night
And hoping that someday I’ll get it right
But it’s all good
In-laws, out-laws,
Baby cries
Three in the morning with bloodshot eyes
It’s a lot more work than I realized
But it’s all good
Sometimes it’s hard to see the positive at all
Little things pile up this they’re a lot
Stress and pressure builds and gets uncomfortable
Until you get your shorts tied in a knot
But it’s all good
It’s easy feeling like you’ve really lost control
When things fall all apart and come unwound
But you can stand all day just staring at the obstacles
Or you can try to find a way to get around
Now I love you, and you love me
Ain’t got much money, but I feel like a king
And even if I could I wouldn’t change a thing
Cause it’s all good
I look at this big beautiful world and I just have to think
That it’s all good
Virgil And The Holy Ghost Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Me and Virgil were best of friends
Brothers til the very end
Made a pact one sunny afternoon
Down by Coalpepper Creek
Fishing holes and skipping rocks
Down the railroad tracks we’d talk
‘bout girls & cars & hopes & dreams
the way our lives would be
& we swore we’d never change
we would always be the same
Virgil met the Holy ghost
A little younger than most
At the Jeelapy Pentacostal tent-revival alter call
Everyone from town was there that day
When Virgil gave his soul away
They were praisin’ as I waited
Outside the Gospel hall
Where we swore we’d never change
But it would never be the same
‘cause it was later on that year
the winter that our mama died
when I told Virgil I don’t want to hear
‘bout love & peace inside
‘cause if this God you know is good
how could he allow the pain
life’s been hard enough, so why would I want to be born again?
The other night, me & Virgil spoke
He travels with the Holy Ghost
Holding tent-revivals, he’s out to seek & save
Virgil says he’s been set free
By Jesus dying on a tree
& I’m not sure what I believe, my questions still remain
Virgil says that when he prays
He asks the Lord that I’d be saved
I guess some things never change
Brothers til the very end
Made a pact one sunny afternoon
Down by Coalpepper Creek
Fishing holes and skipping rocks
Down the railroad tracks we’d talk
‘bout girls & cars & hopes & dreams
the way our lives would be
& we swore we’d never change
we would always be the same
Virgil met the Holy ghost
A little younger than most
At the Jeelapy Pentacostal tent-revival alter call
Everyone from town was there that day
When Virgil gave his soul away
They were praisin’ as I waited
Outside the Gospel hall
Where we swore we’d never change
But it would never be the same
‘cause it was later on that year
the winter that our mama died
when I told Virgil I don’t want to hear
‘bout love & peace inside
‘cause if this God you know is good
how could he allow the pain
life’s been hard enough, so why would I want to be born again?
The other night, me & Virgil spoke
He travels with the Holy Ghost
Holding tent-revivals, he’s out to seek & save

Virgil says that when he prays
He asks the Lord that I’d be saved
I guess some things never change
The Longest Way Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I’d love to take my time
I’d let myself unwind
‘cause sometimes it feels these wheels keep spinnin’
at the speed of sound
I’d take the scenic route
Ain’t that what life’s about
I would stop and smell each and every single
Rose I found
I’m so tired of sayin’ someday that we’ll do it
Grab the keys get in the car and let’s get to it
Let’s head north or east or west or south
Just as long as we go now
Let’s let these headlights slice the night away
‘Til the sun comes out
If all the fun’s in getting there
Then baby I have got a plan
Let’s hit the road, c’mon let’s go
Let’s take the longest way we can
My heart’s restless, but it’s true
When it comes to lovin’ you
And that ain’t never gonna change no matter
Where we are
This old world keeps laughin’ like it’s got us
Don’t know why we ever let it stop us
I’d let myself unwind
‘cause sometimes it feels these wheels keep spinnin’
at the speed of sound
I’d take the scenic route
Ain’t that what life’s about
I would stop and smell each and every single
Rose I found
I’m so tired of sayin’ someday that we’ll do it
Grab the keys get in the car and let’s get to it
Let’s head north or east or west or south
Just as long as we go now
Let’s let these headlights slice the night away
‘Til the sun comes out
If all the fun’s in getting there
Then baby I have got a plan
Let’s hit the road, c’mon let’s go
Let’s take the longest way we can
My heart’s restless, but it’s true
When it comes to lovin’ you
And that ain’t never gonna change no matter
Where we are
This old world keeps laughin’ like it’s got us
Don’t know why we ever let it stop us
Canadian Man Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Canadian Man at your service
From the land of the chill
If I can’t warm you baby nobody will
I’m a genuine Canadian Man
Strong and free
That’s the True North
And baby, that’s me
I’ll salute you as long as need be
I’m a genuine Canadian Man
Well it’s hush-hush, while I mush-mush
My dog-sled made for two
It’s cold outside, but ooo, what a ride
To the warmth of my igloo
Warm and dry, we’ll be sipping on cola and rye
Then I’ll bake you an Eskimo pie
Your genuine Canadian Man
Well we’ll ride and glide over the Great Divide
On my ’95 Ski-Doo
Sweet honey-child it’s the call of the wild
When I’m calling you oooo
Canadian Man
That’s me the ice-breaker supreme
Forget your “American dream”
And wake up to Canadian man
From the land of the chill
If I can’t warm you baby nobody will
I’m a genuine Canadian Man
Strong and free
That’s the True North
And baby, that’s me
I’ll salute you as long as need be
I’m a genuine Canadian Man
Well it’s hush-hush, while I mush-mush
My dog-sled made for two
It’s cold outside, but ooo, what a ride
To the warmth of my igloo
Warm and dry, we’ll be sipping on cola and rye
Then I’ll bake you an Eskimo pie
Your genuine Canadian Man
Well we’ll ride and glide over the Great Divide
On my ’95 Ski-Doo
Sweet honey-child it’s the call of the wild
When I’m calling you oooo
Canadian Man
That’s me the ice-breaker supreme
Forget your “American dream”
And wake up to Canadian man
That's The Truth Lyrics – Paul Brandt
So tired of listenin' to the politicians
You can't believe what you see in the news
Lawyers try with motions and revisions
To spin a tale and tip the scales of truth
I work hard to make an honest livin'
Do my best in everything I do
Whether it's nine to five, football, cars or fishin'
Or comin' home to hug and kiss on you
No lies or alibi’s
It's all so clear when I look in your eyes
Like an arrow shot bull's eye
Straight and true
Like the Mississippi flows into the bayou
(That's the truth) I'm comin' home to see you baby
You're the one thing that I know for sure
In a world that's goin' crazy
You're a matter of survival
My heart and soul revival
Swear on a stack of bibles
Cross my heart and I will be here for you
And that's the truth
When I'm lost in the chaos and confusion
You're the light that leads me to the shore
I tell you girl in a world full of illusions
You're the ray of truth that I've been lookin' for
Now I'm late on the interstate
Radio on at the end of the day
Got the pedal to the metal
Got the top rolled down
I wanna scream and shout about the love we found
(That's the truth) I'm comin' home to see you baby
You're the one thing that I know for sure
In a world that's goin' crazy
You're a matter of survival
My heart and soul revival
Swear on a stack of bibles
Cross my heart and I will be here for you
And that's the truth
Like and arrow shot bull's eye
Straight and true
Like the Mississippi flows into the bayou
(That's the truth) I'm comin' home to see you baby
You're the one thing that I know for sure
In a world that's goin' crazy
You're a matter of survival
My heart and soul revival
Swear on a stack of bibles
Cross my heart and I will be here for you
I'm comin' home to see you baby
You're the one thing that I know for sure
In a world that's goin' crazy
You're a matter of survival
My heart and soul revival
Swear on a stack of bibles
Cross my heart and I will be here for you

It's A Beautiful Thing Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Looks like everybody's here
Had to put some folding chairs in the vestibule
Yeah, it's getting full
Even old Aunt Ruby came
Her first time on an aeroplain, it's her sister's girl
She said she wouldn't miss it for the world
And all them young'uns squirmin' in the pews
Mr. Charlie in his lime green suit is a handsome man
Remarks widow Callahan
Uncle Joe and Uncle Jake
Haven't spoken since '88
Just said Hello
It's a good day to let it go
So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limousine
(Two people in) Love is a beautiful thing
Daddy's waitin' with the bride
As she helps him with his tie she sees a tear
He says it's hot in here
He hugs his little girl and asks
How did you grow up so fast, God I wish
Your momma could be here for this
Everybody stands and smiles
As she comes walking down the aisle in her momma's gown
And Daddy breaks on down
Gran and Gramps in the second row
Stood right there fifty years ago and said their vows
I guess it's workin' out
So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limousine
(Two people in) Love is a beautiful thing
A little table full of gifts
Catering is coverdish and the wedding band
Well that's on her hand
Tommy's teasing Lorali
Pushed her down and made her cry
And neither one knows a day will come
When the angels gather, and the music play
The preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limousine
Love, two people in Love
It's a beautiful thing
Love, it's a beautiful thing
(Love, it's a beautiful thing)
Love, oh sweet Love, it's a beautiful thing
(Love, it's a beautiful thing)
Love, oh love, it's a beautiful thing
(Love, it's a beautiful thing)
Love, love, it's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing
Had to put some folding chairs in the vestibule
Yeah, it's getting full
Even old Aunt Ruby came
Her first time on an aeroplain, it's her sister's girl
She said she wouldn't miss it for the world
And all them young'uns squirmin' in the pews
Mr. Charlie in his lime green suit is a handsome man
Remarks widow Callahan
Uncle Joe and Uncle Jake
Haven't spoken since '88
Just said Hello
It's a good day to let it go
So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limousine
(Two people in) Love is a beautiful thing
Daddy's waitin' with the bride
As she helps him with his tie she sees a tear
He says it's hot in here
He hugs his little girl and asks
How did you grow up so fast, God I wish
Your momma could be here for this
Everybody stands and smiles
As she comes walking down the aisle in her momma's gown
And Daddy breaks on down
Gran and Gramps in the second row
Stood right there fifty years ago and said their vows
I guess it's workin' out
So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limousine
(Two people in) Love is a beautiful thing
A little table full of gifts
Catering is coverdish and the wedding band
Well that's on her hand
Tommy's teasing Lorali
Pushed her down and made her cry
And neither one knows a day will come
When the angels gather, and the music play
The preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limousine
Love, two people in Love
It's a beautiful thing
Love, it's a beautiful thing
(Love, it's a beautiful thing)
Love, oh sweet Love, it's a beautiful thing
(Love, it's a beautiful thing)
Love, oh love, it's a beautiful thing
(Love, it's a beautiful thing)
Love, love, it's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing
That Hurts Lyrics – Paul Brandt
That hurts
Your baby told you it was over
And I'm just a friendly shoulder you can cry on
While I ache to take you into my arms
Of all the dreams in all the world
There's nothing worse
Than meant to be and you don't see
That I wanted to be the one to make your knees weak
Your hands shake
I wanted to be the one that you woke up to
Held on to
But I never knew that touch
And you'll never know how much
That hurts
It's not fair
I have to be the great pretender
As if I don't remember all those sad prayers
That sounded good but got me nowhere
Of all the jokes in all the world
How sad is this
To be so close and not let it show
That I wanted to be the one to make your knees weak
Your hands shake
I wanted to be the one that you woke up to
Held on to
But I never knew that touch
And you'll never know how much
That hurts
Oh I wanted to be the one to make your knees weak
Your hands shake
I wanted to be the one that you woke up to
Held on to
But I never knew that touch
And I wanted you so
But I have to let go
And you'll never know how much that hurts
Your baby told you it was over
And I'm just a friendly shoulder you can cry on
While I ache to take you into my arms
Of all the dreams in all the world
There's nothing worse
Than meant to be and you don't see
That I wanted to be the one to make your knees weak
Your hands shake
I wanted to be the one that you woke up to
Held on to
But I never knew that touch
And you'll never know how much
That hurts
It's not fair
I have to be the great pretender
As if I don't remember all those sad prayers
That sounded good but got me nowhere
Of all the jokes in all the world
How sad is this
To be so close and not let it show
That I wanted to be the one to make your knees weak
Your hands shake
I wanted to be the one that you woke up to
Held on to
But I never knew that touch
And you'll never know how much
That hurts
Oh I wanted to be the one to make your knees weak
Your hands shake
I wanted to be the one that you woke up to
Held on to
But I never knew that touch
And I wanted you so
But I have to let go
And you'll never know how much that hurts
There's A World Out There Lyrics – Paul Brandt
When I was a boy
I'd get so annoyed
Whenever it was pouring rain
Standin' at the glass door
Starin' at the outside nose pressed against the pane
I told my momma
I don't wanna be stuck inside no more
Give me thunder and lightnin', somethin' excitin'
That's what I'm livin' for
There's a world out there and I wanna be in it
I got a life and I'm gonna live it
Don't tell me the sky's the limit
There's footprints on the moon
I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled
Sew my dreams where they won't unravel
If you play it safe you won't get nowhere
I can't stay in here when there's a world out there
I remember back in school
They thought I was a fool
For askin' Lizzy Walker to the dance
She was always with the captain of the football team
Nobody thought I even have a chance
But imagine my surprise
When she looked me in the eyes
And said I'll go with you instead
I knew we'd be together for the rest of forever
When Lizzy looked at me and said
Hey baby
There's a world out there and I wanna be in it
I got a life and I'm gonna live it
Don't tell me the sky's the limit
There's footprints on the moon
I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled
Sew my dreams where they won't unravel
If you play it safe you won't get nowhere
I can't stay in here when there's a world out there
I imagine when they land on a brand new planet
In some far off galaxy
Somebody in the rocket's gonna look out the window
Feeling just like Lizzy and me
There's a world out there and I wanna be in it
I got a life and I'm gonna live it
Don't tell me the sky's the limit
There's footprints on the moon
I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled
Sew my dreams where they won't unravel
If you play it safe you won't get nowhere
I can't stay in here when there's a world out there
If you play it safe you won't get nowhere
You can't stay in here when there's a world out there
(No, I just can't do it)
There's a world out there
(Don't even try and play it safe)
No, no, no
(You're not gonna get anywhere)
No, no, no
I'd get so annoyed
Whenever it was pouring rain
Standin' at the glass door
Starin' at the outside nose pressed against the pane
I told my momma
I don't wanna be stuck inside no more
Give me thunder and lightnin', somethin' excitin'
That's what I'm livin' for
There's a world out there and I wanna be in it
I got a life and I'm gonna live it
Don't tell me the sky's the limit
There's footprints on the moon
I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled
Sew my dreams where they won't unravel
If you play it safe you won't get nowhere
I can't stay in here when there's a world out there
I remember back in school
They thought I was a fool
For askin' Lizzy Walker to the dance
She was always with the captain of the football team
Nobody thought I even have a chance

When she looked me in the eyes
And said I'll go with you instead
I knew we'd be together for the rest of forever
When Lizzy looked at me and said
Hey baby
There's a world out there and I wanna be in it

No, no, no

No, no, no
The Sycamore Tree Lyrics – Paul Brandt
In the sticks down an old dirt road in a small Kentucky town
When his daddy would come home
Out past the old dirt road in a sycamore tree
It is where little Zack would go
And high above the guilt and pain
The only place that he was safe
Was high above in the strong arms of the sycamore tree
You could hear a small voice in the wind sayin'
"Please, don't let him do that to me"
In the sycamore tree
Time when on as it always does and his daddy's time had come
How he felt was hard to say
He often wondered how he'd even make it through
But as he buried him that day
He realized it's not my fault
And as the leaves began to fall
From high above in the strong arms of the sycamore tree
You could hear forgiveness in the wind
Singin' out "Find the truth and the truth will set you free"
In the sycamore tree
And like answer to his praying
As he watched his child playin'
High above in the strong arms of the sycamore tree
You could hear a small voice in the wind
Sayin', "Daddy won't you come and play with me"
In the sycamore tree
The sycamore tree
Forgiveness with set you free
Forgiveness, forgiveness,
When his daddy would come home
Out past the old dirt road in a sycamore tree
It is where little Zack would go
And high above the guilt and pain
The only place that he was safe
Was high above in the strong arms of the sycamore tree
You could hear a small voice in the wind sayin'
"Please, don't let him do that to me"
In the sycamore tree
Time when on as it always does and his daddy's time had come
How he felt was hard to say
He often wondered how he'd even make it through
But as he buried him that day
He realized it's not my fault
And as the leaves began to fall
From high above in the strong arms of the sycamore tree
You could hear forgiveness in the wind
Singin' out "Find the truth and the truth will set you free"
In the sycamore tree
And like answer to his praying
As he watched his child playin'
High above in the strong arms of the sycamore tree
You could hear a small voice in the wind
Sayin', "Daddy won't you come and play with me"
In the sycamore tree
The sycamore tree
Forgiveness with set you free
Forgiveness, forgiveness,
A Love That Strong Lyrics – Paul Brandt
If love was a river rushin' down to the sea
I'd wanna jump right in to the middle of it
Let it carry me
And pullin' me under and takin' my breath away
Rollin' with the flow wherever it goes
Whatever it takes
I want a love that strong
I want a love that wild
I want to dig that deep
I want to reach that high
One that'll last a whole life long
I want a love that strong
A man and a woman sittin' in a small cafe
They met fifty years ago in those same two chairs
On this very day
He still brings her flowers just to hear that little laugh
She still thinks he's a knight in shining amour
And it's as simple as that
I want a love that strong
I want a love that wild
I want to dig that deep
I want to reach that high
One that'll last a whole life long
I want a love that strong
I want a love that strong
I want a love that wild
I want to dig that deep
I want to reach that high
One that'll last a whole life long
I want a love that strong
I want a love that wild
I want to dig that deep
I want to reach that high
One that'll last a whole life long
I want a love that strong
I'd wanna jump right in to the middle of it
Let it carry me
And pullin' me under and takin' my breath away
Rollin' with the flow wherever it goes
Whatever it takes
I want a love that strong
I want a love that wild
I want to dig that deep
I want to reach that high
One that'll last a whole life long
I want a love that strong
A man and a woman sittin' in a small cafe
They met fifty years ago in those same two chairs
On this very day
He still brings her flowers just to hear that little laugh
She still thinks he's a knight in shining amour
And it's as simple as that
I want a love that strong
I want a love that wild
I want to dig that deep
I want to reach that high
One that'll last a whole life long
I want a love that strong
I want a love that strong
I want a love that wild
I want to dig that deep
I want to reach that high
One that'll last a whole life long
I want a love that strong
I want a love that wild
I want to dig that deep
I want to reach that high
One that'll last a whole life long
I want a love that strong
Add 'Em All Up Lyrics – Paul Brandt
If you took all the feelin's that everybody's feelin'
In love tonight
All the slow dances and lingerin' glances
In the pale moonlight
All the stolen kisses and sweet nothin' whispers
Straight from the heart
Put 'em end to end and then you'd have a pretty good start
And add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
It's perfectly clear what you got there
Wouldn't be near enough
Add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
Just take the bottom line
Multiply by five, it's larger than life
That's how I'd describe our love
Take every heart beatin' that's a reelin' from the feelin'
Of a true love found
Every angel singin', every church bell ringin'
Out glory bound
Every new beginnin', every happy endin'
>From the silver screen
Put 'em all together, it'll never match you and me
And add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
It's perfectly clear what you got there
Wouldn't be near enough
Add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
Just take the bottom line
Multiply by five, it's larger than life
That's how I'd describe our love
Add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
It's perfectly clear what you got there
Wouldn't be near enough
Add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
Just take the bottom line
Multiply by five, it's larger than life
Not to be denied on any given night
That's how I'd describe our love
Oh baby it's a fact this love we have
Is off the map, bigger than that
That's how I describe our love
In love tonight
All the slow dances and lingerin' glances
In the pale moonlight
All the stolen kisses and sweet nothin' whispers
Straight from the heart
Put 'em end to end and then you'd have a pretty good start
And add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
It's perfectly clear what you got there
Wouldn't be near enough
Add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
Just take the bottom line
Multiply by five, it's larger than life
That's how I'd describe our love
Take every heart beatin' that's a reelin' from the feelin'
Of a true love found
Every angel singin', every church bell ringin'
Out glory bound
Every new beginnin', every happy endin'
>From the silver screen
Put 'em all together, it'll never match you and me
And add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
It's perfectly clear what you got there
Wouldn't be near enough
Add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
Just take the bottom line
Multiply by five, it's larger than life
That's how I'd describe our love
Add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
It's perfectly clear what you got there
Wouldn't be near enough
Add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
Just take the bottom line
Multiply by five, it's larger than life
Not to be denied on any given night
That's how I'd describe our love
Oh baby it's a fact this love we have
Is off the map, bigger than that
That's how I describe our love
Scrap Piece Of Paper Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Well, in a little bitty nitty gritty one horse town
Right side up or upside down
A tiny piece of paper got stuck to a boot
And it stayed there stuck for about an hour or two
'Til the man climbed in his truck and he kicked it loose
Yeah and just like that it was back on the move
It got run over thirty-seven times in the street
'Til a bird picked it up 'cause it looked like something to eat
But it was finally dropped on the courthouse steps
The breeze started blowing and guess what was next
It blew in a car window gave an old man a scare
Caused a six-car pile up on the downtown square
It was floatin' around
High in the air
Even if you looked you may not see it there
It's just one of those things
We rarely ever think about
Yeah it could come from a hamburger bag or a bubble gum wrapper
It's a day in the life of a little scrap piece of paper
There it goes...here it comes
Two people in the shadows where they couldn't be seen
Both of them was wearin' someone else's ring
She said here's my new number, you better write it down
So he grabbed that piece of paper just a layin' on the ground
He folded it up, and put it in his jeans
'Til it was found by his wife at her washing machine
Well, she threw it in the trash, yeah she took it out the door
Well that's her job 'cause he don't live there no more
She put it by the curb in a rubber maid bin
'Til the neighbour's dog Spot knocked it over again
It was set free when the cold wind blew
Yeah and just like that it was back on the move
A just a floatin' around
High in the air
Even if you looked you may not see it there
It's just one of those things
We rarely ever think about
Yeah it could come from a hamburger bag or a bubble gum wrapper
It's a day in the life of a little scrap piece of paper
Just a floatin' around
High in the air
Even if you looked you may not see it there
It's just one of those things
We rarely ever think about
Yeah it could come from a hamburger bag or a bubble gum wrapper

Really And Truly Lyrics – Paul Brandt
If a fallin' heart could make a sound
Then you would hear mine for miles around
If what I feel became a light
Then there would be no darkness in this night
They say you know when it's real
Baby I can tell you it's true
'Cause really and truly
I think we should be
Together like this for as long as we both are
Livin', breathin'
I'll be everything you need and more
I'll be really and truly yours
If love's a gift to give away
For you, I swear, it'd be Christmas every day
If love could keep you free from harm
The safest place for you is in my arms
And if I reveal too much too soon
Well, I'm just bein' honest with you
Really and truly
I think we should be
Together like this for as long as we both are
Livin', breathin'
I'll be everything you need and more
I'll be really and truly yours, oh
Have me, hold me
In that sweet moment
It'll be for sure
I'll be really and truly yours
Then you would hear mine for miles around
If what I feel became a light
Then there would be no darkness in this night
They say you know when it's real
Baby I can tell you it's true
'Cause really and truly
I think we should be
Together like this for as long as we both are
Livin', breathin'
I'll be everything you need and more
I'll be really and truly yours
If love's a gift to give away
For you, I swear, it'd be Christmas every day
If love could keep you free from harm
The safest place for you is in my arms
And if I reveal too much too soon
Well, I'm just bein' honest with you
Really and truly
I think we should be
Together like this for as long as we both are
Livin', breathin'
I'll be everything you need and more
I'll be really and truly yours, oh
Have me, hold me
In that sweet moment
It'll be for sure
I'll be really and truly yours
Let's Live It Up Lyrics – Paul Brandt
You only go around once on this big spinnin' planet of love
So don't be wastin' my time
Tell me what you're dreamin' of
We'll take a rocket to the moon and when we get that far
I'll hang your coat and hat up on a shooting star
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Hang up the cat put the dog out to dry, my my
Roll up the bird and let the alligator wave bye-bye
We'll take a slow gin to China
A train to Peru
In a rusty old steamer or a leaky canoe
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Around the block in a hot balloon
Sounds awfully good to me
Or a seat on the wing of a jumbo jet
Flyin' straight to Mercury
What's the matter with me
Baby I've been such a fool
Let's hop on a raft and navigate around in the pool
We'll take a rocket to the moon and when we get that far
I'll hang your coat and hat up on a shooting star
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
A swing around the block in a hot balloon
Sounds awfully good to me
Or a seat on the wing of a jumbo jet
Flyin' straight to Mercury
What's the matter with me
Baby I've been such a fool (who do you think you're foolin')
Let's hop on a raft and navigate around in the pool
And take a rocket to the moon and when we get that far
I'll hang your coat and hat up on a shooting star
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Don't you ever think about givin' it up
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
So don't be wastin' my time
Tell me what you're dreamin' of
We'll take a rocket to the moon and when we get that far
I'll hang your coat and hat up on a shooting star
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Hang up the cat put the dog out to dry, my my
Roll up the bird and let the alligator wave bye-bye
We'll take a slow gin to China
A train to Peru
In a rusty old steamer or a leaky canoe
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Around the block in a hot balloon

Or a seat on the wing of a jumbo jet

Let's hop on a raft and navigate around in the pool
And take a rocket to the moon and when we get that far
I'll hang your coat and hat up on a shooting star
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Don't you ever think about givin' it up
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Little Drummer Boy Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King
So to honour Him
When we come
Baby Jesus
I am a poor boy too
I have no gift to bring
that's fit to give a King
Shall I play for you
on my drum
Mary nodded
the ox and lamb kept time
I played my drum for Him
I played my best for Him
Then He smiled at me
Me and my drum
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King
So to honour Him
When we come
Baby Jesus
I am a poor boy too
I have no gift to bring
that's fit to give a King
Shall I play for you
on my drum
Mary nodded
the ox and lamb kept time
I played my drum for Him
I played my best for Him
Then He smiled at me
Me and my drum
Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy Lyrics – Paul Brandt (with Terri Clark)
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
Well he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
Well they thought that I was fast a sleepin'
They thought that I was tucked in bed
They never thought that I'd come a peepin'
Or that I'd hear what was said
Santa put his arm around Momma
And Momma put her arm around him
So if Santa Claus ain't Daddy
Then I'm gonna tell on them
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
Well he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
I never saw Dancer or Prancer
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
I never saw the red nosed reindeer
Like they show him on the TV screen
But he sure brought a lot of presents
So Santa Claus he must have been
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
Well he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
Well he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
Well they thought that I was fast a sleepin'
They thought that I was tucked in bed
They never thought that I'd come a peepin'
Or that I'd hear what was said
Santa put his arm around Momma
And Momma put her arm around him
So if Santa Claus ain't Daddy
Then I'm gonna tell on them
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
Well he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
I never saw Dancer or Prancer
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
I never saw the red nosed reindeer
Like they show him on the TV screen
But he sure brought a lot of presents
So Santa Claus he must have been
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
Well he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
What Child Is This Lyrics – Paul Brandt (with Union Station)
What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe the Son of Mary
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding
Good Christian fear for sinners here
The silent word is pleading
So bring him incense gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to own him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe the Son of Mary
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding
Good Christian fear for sinners here
The silent word is pleading
So bring him incense gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to own him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Run Run Rudolph Lyrics – Paul Brandt (with Kim Richey)
Out of all the reindeers
You know you're the mastermind
Run Run Rudolph
Randolph ain't too far behind
Run Run Rudolph
Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down
Run Run Rudolph
'Cause I'm reelin' like a merry go round
Said Santa to a boy
Child what have you been longing for?
All I want for Christmas is a
Rock and roll electric guitar
And then away went Rudolph
Whizzin' like a shootin' star
Said Santa to a girl
Child what would please you most to get?
A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink, and wet
And then away went Rudolph
Whizzin' like a saber jet
Run Run Rudolph
Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down
Run run Rudolph
'Cause I'm reelin' like a merry go round
Run Run Rudolph
I'm reelin' like a merry go round
Come on run run Rudolph
I'm reelin' like a merry go round
You know you're the mastermind
Run Run Rudolph
Randolph ain't too far behind
Run Run Rudolph
Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down
Run Run Rudolph
'Cause I'm reelin' like a merry go round
Said Santa to a boy
Child what have you been longing for?
All I want for Christmas is a
Rock and roll electric guitar
And then away went Rudolph
Whizzin' like a shootin' star
Said Santa to a girl
Child what would please you most to get?
A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink, and wet
And then away went Rudolph
Whizzin' like a saber jet

Run Run Rudolph
I'm reelin' like a merry go round
Come on run run Rudolph
I'm reelin' like a merry go round
A Star Is Born Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Christmas time again
the perfect end to a not-so-perfect year
at last it's here
Hustle-bustle to and fro
from store to store to get one more
of whatever is in style this year
On the marquis sign at 5 and 9
the latest movie shows, and it starts to snow
Children look into the sky
to see if reindeer really fly
Who knows
But when it comes down to this season
Above it all there's still a reason
To just look up
A star is born tonight
Come to make things right
Angels singing, anthems ringing
Glory to the King
A star is born tonight
Silent, holy night, heaven's sacred light
shines all around
and joy resounds
In manger hay the baby Jesus came to seek
and save the lost
Until they're found
Peace on earth a new beginning
He's the gift that keeps on giving
To all of us
Glory hallelujah, glory to the King of Kings
Merry Christmas to you all the joy the season brings
Angels singing, anthems ringing
Glory to the King
A star is born tonight
the perfect end to a not-so-perfect year
at last it's here
Hustle-bustle to and fro
from store to store to get one more
of whatever is in style this year
On the marquis sign at 5 and 9
the latest movie shows, and it starts to snow
Children look into the sky
to see if reindeer really fly
Who knows
But when it comes down to this season
Above it all there's still a reason
To just look up
A star is born tonight
Come to make things right
Angels singing, anthems ringing
Glory to the King
A star is born tonight
Silent, holy night, heaven's sacred light
shines all around
and joy resounds
In manger hay the baby Jesus came to seek
and save the lost
Until they're found
Peace on earth a new beginning
He's the gift that keeps on giving
To all of us
Glory hallelujah, glory to the King of Kings
Merry Christmas to you all the joy the season brings
Angels singing, anthems ringing
Glory to the King
A star is born tonight
The Way In A Manger Lyrics – Paul Brandt (with Union Station)
We were alone in the fields with our sheep
A star in the sky glowing bright in the east
When an angelic choir singing all glory be
to God in the highest, bade us come see (they said)
The way in a manger is a babe fast asleep
He's never a stranger to wise men who seek
The light and the hope for all of mankind
He's the way in the manger
And He's easy to find
Mary and Joseph were there when we came
and all that the angels had said was the same
And when I saw the baby, I knew just what to do
I bowed down to worship the light and the truth
The light and the hope
For all of mankind
He's the way in a manger
And He's easy to find
A star in the sky glowing bright in the east
When an angelic choir singing all glory be
to God in the highest, bade us come see (they said)
The way in a manger is a babe fast asleep
He's never a stranger to wise men who seek
The light and the hope for all of mankind
He's the way in the manger
And He's easy to find
Mary and Joseph were there when we came
and all that the angels had said was the same
And when I saw the baby, I knew just what to do
I bowed down to worship the light and the truth
The light and the hope
For all of mankind
He's the way in a manger
And He's easy to find
Jingle Bells Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot
Silent Night Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Silent night, Holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born
Silent night, Holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy Holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Silent night, Holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born
Silent night, Holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy Holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
Six Tons Of Toys Lyrics – Paul Brandt
At the old north pole
Got my rig all loaded with toys
Got a sack full of goodies
For good little girls and boys
Big dipper lookin' so bright
Milky way traffic is light
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight
Got the same ol' sleigh
And good ol' reindeer power
Got no speed zones
Yeah we're makin' the zero hour
Everything's lookin' so white
Housetop's comin' into sight
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight
Well it's been a whole year
Since we've been down this way
So on Christmas eve
We overload the sleigh
Everything will be alright
No I.C.C. in sight
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight
Got my rig all loaded with toys
Got a sack full of goodies
For good little girls and boys
Big dipper lookin' so bright
Milky way traffic is light
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight
Got the same ol' sleigh
And good ol' reindeer power
Got no speed zones
Yeah we're makin' the zero hour
Everything's lookin' so white
Housetop's comin' into sight
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight
Well it's been a whole year
Since we've been down this way
So on Christmas eve
We overload the sleigh
Everything will be alright
No I.C.C. in sight
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight
O Holy Night Lyrics – Paul Brandt
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices for wonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night
O night divine
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices for wonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night
O night divine
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices for wonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night
O night divine
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices for wonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night
O night divine
Chain Reaction Lyrics – Paul Brandt
My eyes saw you and sent a warning
Straight to my brain
My heart started pounding in my chest
Like a runaway train
I felt my hands start to sweat
And my knees start to buckle
A shiver down my spine
And I knew I was in trouble
Never dreamed forever could've ever
Fell together like this
All it took was one kiss one touch
Like a long line of dominoes
I'm fallin in love
It's a physical, spiritual, chemical strong attraction
Girl you've started an unstoppable chain reaction
The way you smile at me
It ignites an undeniable spark
The way you walk through a room
It's enough to make a fire start
Like the lightning flashing
Then the thunder rollin'
I'll follow you wherever you're goin'
Now I've got a reason for believin' in a feelin' like this
All it took was one kiss one touch
Like a long line of dominoes
I'm fallin in love
It's a physical, spiritual, chemical strong attraction
Girl you've started an unstoppable chain reaction
All it took was one kiss one touch
Like a long line of dominoes
I'm fallin in love
It's a physical, spiritual, chemical strong attraction
Girl you've started an unstoppable chain reaction
Girl you've started an unstoppable chain reaction
Girl you've started an unstoppable chain reaction
Girl you've started an unstoppable chain reaction
Straight to my brain
My heart started pounding in my chest
Like a runaway train
I felt my hands start to sweat
And my knees start to buckle
A shiver down my spine
And I knew I was in trouble
Never dreamed forever could've ever
Fell together like this
All it took was one kiss one touch
Like a long line of dominoes
I'm fallin in love
It's a physical, spiritual, chemical strong attraction
Girl you've started an unstoppable chain reaction
The way you smile at me
It ignites an undeniable spark
The way you walk through a room
It's enough to make a fire start

Girl you've started an unstoppable chain reaction
Girl you've started an unstoppable chain reaction
Girl you've started an unstoppable chain reaction
A Little In Love Lyrics – Paul Brandt
I'm really kinda bad at hedging my bets
Straddling the fence just to get my feet wet
It's sorta like me to jump on in
To see if I sink or swim
So maybe I'm a fool for taking this fall
But it's all for you or nothing at all
Too late for a little in love
I'm all the way in
Ain't no kinda, sorta, maybe
When I'm holding you baby
Halfway ain't near enough
Every waking minute
Got my heart and soul in it
No I can't be just a little in love
No such thing as a little in love
This is high wire walking
I don't need a net
Parachute jumping, ain't pulled the cored yet
No turning back now, I'm goin' all the way down
Ain't no kinda, sorta, maybe
When I'm holding you baby
Halfway ain't near enough
Every waking minute
Got my heart and soul in it
No I can't be just a little in love
No such thing as a little in love
I might learn the hard way
That's the chance I take
Knowing there's no such thing
As a little heartache
Ain't no kinda, sorta, maybe
When I'm holding you baby
Halfway ain't near enough
Every waking minute
Got my heart and soul in it
No I can't be just a little in love
No such thing as a little in love
No such thing as a little in love
I can't be just a little in love
No such thing as a little in love
Straddling the fence just to get my feet wet
It's sorta like me to jump on in
To see if I sink or swim
So maybe I'm a fool for taking this fall
But it's all for you or nothing at all
Too late for a little in love
I'm all the way in
Ain't no kinda, sorta, maybe
When I'm holding you baby
Halfway ain't near enough
Every waking minute
Got my heart and soul in it
No I can't be just a little in love
No such thing as a little in love
This is high wire walking
I don't need a net
Parachute jumping, ain't pulled the cored yet
No turning back now, I'm goin' all the way down
Ain't no kinda, sorta, maybe
When I'm holding you baby
Halfway ain't near enough
Every waking minute
Got my heart and soul in it
No I can't be just a little in love
No such thing as a little in love
I might learn the hard way
That's the chance I take
Knowing there's no such thing
As a little heartache
Ain't no kinda, sorta, maybe
When I'm holding you baby
Halfway ain't near enough
Every waking minute
Got my heart and soul in it
No I can't be just a little in love
No such thing as a little in love
No such thing as a little in love
I can't be just a little in love
No such thing as a little in love
What's Come Over You Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Something's missing, something's wrong
Something's not right where it belongs
Why am I doubting what I thought I knew
What's come over you
Where's the laughter where's that touch
That made me feel you were in love
I pray it's just a phase you're going through
What's come over you
I can roll with the tide, come in from the rain
Turn my back to the wind, stand my share of pain
But if you don't love me there's nothing I can do
What's come over you
All these memories of all those times
Make it so hard to say goodbye
To all those dreams we shared that won't come true
What's come over you
I can roll with the tide, come in from the rain
Turn my back to the wind, stand my share of pain
But if you don't love me there's nothing I can do
What's come over you
Something's not right where it belongs
Why am I doubting what I thought I knew
What's come over you
Where's the laughter where's that touch
That made me feel you were in love
I pray it's just a phase you're going through
What's come over you
I can roll with the tide, come in from the rain
Turn my back to the wind, stand my share of pain
But if you don't love me there's nothing I can do
What's come over you
All these memories of all those times
Make it so hard to say goodbye
To all those dreams we shared that won't come true
What's come over you
I can roll with the tide, come in from the rain
Turn my back to the wind, stand my share of pain
But if you don't love me there's nothing I can do
What's come over you
One Lyrics – Paul Brandt
Don't expect me to just stand back
And let this one go by
This kind of love comes along one forever at a time
Girl, I'd be crazy not to try
I've got one chance to make you mine
Two hearts, two minds, almost out of control
But it's like it was planned...and
Two lives, two souls come together that way
When you take my hand
Hard to believe what has begun
I never knew two could become...
One
I love the way it feels each time you look at me
Can't imagine wanting more, you fill my every need
I feel your heartbeat next to mine
It's saying years from now we'll find
Two hearts, two minds, almost out of control
But it's like it was planned...and
Two lives, two souls come together that way
When you take my hand
Hard to believe what has begun
I never knew two could become...
One
Two hearts, two minds, almost out of control
But it's like it was planned...and
Two lives, two souls come together that way
When you take my hand
Hard to believe what has begun
I never knew two could become...
One
I never knew, I guess it's true, two can become...
One
And let this one go by
This kind of love comes along one forever at a time
Girl, I'd be crazy not to try
I've got one chance to make you mine
Two hearts, two minds, almost out of control
But it's like it was planned...and
Two lives, two souls come together that way
When you take my hand
Hard to believe what has begun
I never knew two could become...
One
I love the way it feels each time you look at me
Can't imagine wanting more, you fill my every need
I feel your heartbeat next to mine
It's saying years from now we'll find
Two hearts, two minds, almost out of control
But it's like it was planned...and
Two lives, two souls come together that way
When you take my hand
Hard to believe what has begun
I never knew two could become...
One
Two hearts, two minds, almost out of control
But it's like it was planned...and
Two lives, two souls come together that way
When you take my hand
Hard to believe what has begun
I never knew two could become...
One
I never knew, I guess it's true, two can become...

I Believe You Lyrics – Paul Brandt
There's a dealer with a car
He can sell you for a song
There's a psychic on the air
Got a hot line to your palm
There's another politician who's makin' news
With a brand new twist on his version of the truth
They got powders they got pills with an x factor in it
Supposed to make you look
Ten years younger in a minute
They try to sell you dreams, well I ain't buyin' what they sell
But baby when you tell me there could be nobody else
I believe you, I just look in your eyes
I believe you, a true heart never lies
It's more that just a feeling, it's a matter of faith
When you tell me our forever won't fade away
I believe you, I believe you
Yes I do
There are golden guarantees right above the dotted line
Promises to keep, all you gotta do is sign
That's just paper-thin trust, but I can tell you this
When you tell me that you love me
And then seal it with a kiss
I believe you, I just look in your eyes
I believe you, a true heart never lies
It's more that just a feeling, it's a matter of faith
When you tell me our forever won't fade away
I believe you, I believe you
Yes I do
I believe you, I just look in your eyes
I believe you, a true heart never lies
It's more that just a feeling, it's a matter of faith
When you tell me our forever won't fade away
I believe you, I believe you
Yes I do
He can sell you for a song
There's a psychic on the air
Got a hot line to your palm
There's another politician who's makin' news
With a brand new twist on his version of the truth
They got powders they got pills with an x factor in it
Supposed to make you look
Ten years younger in a minute
They try to sell you dreams, well I ain't buyin' what they sell
But baby when you tell me there could be nobody else
I believe you, I just look in your eyes
I believe you, a true heart never lies
It's more that just a feeling, it's a matter of faith
When you tell me our forever won't fade away

There are golden guarantees right above the dotted line
Promises to keep, all you gotta do is sign

I believe you, a true heart never lies

I believe you, I just look in your eyes
I believe you, a true heart never lies
It's more that just a feeling, it's a matter of faith
When you tell me our forever won't fade away
I believe you, I believe you
Yes I do
Yeah! Lyrics – Paul Brandt
My heart's been beatin' faster
Does it mean that I'm in love
I just can't get enough of your smile
I'm flyin' higher now
Oh baby can't you see
What you mean to me
Do I want ya
Do I love ya
Do I think the whole world of ya
Do I know that I'm a lucky man
Do I go to hold ya
Need to squeeze ya
Feel my head reel when I see ya
Wonder does this mean I got it bad
Yeah, yeah
You turn to walk my way
And it sends shivers down my spine
Happens every time
Like a waterfall keeps flowing
I'm over the top
Babe I just can't stop
Do I want ya
Do I love ya
Do I think the whole world of ya
Do I know that I'm a lucky man
Do I go to hold ya
Need to squeeze ya
Feel my head reel when I see ya
Wonder does this mean I got it bad
Yeah, yeah
Yeah...yeah...yeah...
Does it mean that I'm in love
I just can't get enough of your smile
I'm flyin' higher now
Oh baby can't you see
What you mean to me
Do I want ya
Do I love ya
Do I think the whole world of ya
Do I know that I'm a lucky man
Do I go to hold ya
Need to squeeze ya
Feel my head reel when I see ya
Wonder does this mean I got it bad
Yeah, yeah
You turn to walk my way
And it sends shivers down my spine
Happens every time
Like a waterfall keeps flowing
I'm over the top
Babe I just can't stop
Do I want ya
Do I love ya
Do I think the whole world of ya
Do I know that I'm a lucky man
Do I go to hold ya
Need to squeeze ya
Feel my head reel when I see ya
Wonder does this mean I got it bad
Yeah, yeah
Yeah...yeah...yeah...
We Are The One Lyrics – Paul Brandt (feat. Kathy Mattea on background vocals)
Unaware angel falling into sleep
I never quite believed that I'd get in this deep
I don't have a doubt
We are the one
Oh I love to watch you as the day begins
Sun comes through the window
Starts to kiss your skin
Chase the shadows out
We are the one
We're the story told since time began
We're what heaven holds inside her hand
We're the one thing I never knew I needed
But you completed me and
We are the one
I want to be with you as the years go by
I know I won't be perfect, but for you I'll try
That's what love's about
We are the one
We're the story told since time began
We're what heaven holds inside her hand
We're the one thing I never knew I needed
But you completed me and
We are the one thing I never knew I needed
But you completed me and
We are the one
I never quite believed that I'd get in this deep
I don't have a doubt
We are the one
Oh I love to watch you as the day begins
Sun comes through the window
Starts to kiss your skin
Chase the shadows out
We are the one
We're the story told since time began
We're what heaven holds inside her hand
We're the one thing I never knew I needed
But you completed me and
We are the one
I want to be with you as the years go by
I know I won't be perfect, but for you I'll try
That's what love's about
We are the one
We're the story told since time began
We're what heaven holds inside her hand
We're the one thing I never knew I needed
But you completed me and
We are the one thing I never knew I needed
But you completed me and
We are the one
