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

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

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,

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

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

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
It's a day in the life of a little scrap piece of paper

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

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!

"A Paul Brandt Christmas: Shall I Play For You?" (1998)

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

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

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

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

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 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
