I knew this time would come, but I'm not ready to say good bye
You taught me to trust in God
You showed me how to be kind
You showed me how to be strong
You taught me how to love
You have always been good to me
I'll never forget your smile
Your love is my guiding light
If I could go back in time
I wish I could turn back time
I miss our talks, the pats on my back, our long summer walks, the lunches you packed, oh the memories we made, are alive in my heart today.
I remember that Christmas (when) you opened the present I made, you smiled as You pulled back the paper and cut through tape.
I remember that time when you opened the present I made, you cried as You pulled back the paper and cut through tape.
I remember one time when I gave you a picture I made, how you cried when you saw all the hearts that I drew 'round your face.
You carefully pulled back the wrapping and cut through tape, your eyes filled with tears as you looked at the picture I made.
Every picture you saved has a name and a date on the back.
I remember that time when we went to the school yard to play, you held up your coat and covered us both while it rained.
As my mind wanders through
all the memories I shared with you
I cried hard that evening, as I thought of you leaving this world.
I thought for a long time, about everything that you said.
My mind wanders back to the room where we sat and played
Things that I can't explain
I tell myself sooner or later
Things will get better
But time tells me that's just a dream.
I'm sad that it turned out this way
I tell myself sooner or later
Things are gonna get better
But time tells me that's not the case
Sometimes I feel afraid
that I won't remember
OUR moments together
'Cause time's going to steal them away
Seems like only yesterday
I was young and I knew
There would always be you
Now I’m not sure that it's true.
Things I can’t replace
I want to remember
this moment forever
But time's going to come and steal it away
Sometimes I feel afraid
that I won't remember
this moment together
'Cause time's going to steal it away
Things that can't be replaced,
I want to remember this moment forever
But times going to steal it away
Wasn't it yesterday
I was so young and I knew
There would always be you
Now I'm not so sure anymore
(And I’m) feeling lost and scared
The you that I knew
Isn’t here anymore
and my heart is breaking in two.
(And I'm) feeling lost again
The you that I knew
Isn't here anymore and I don't know what I'm going to do.
Things that I can't explain
I'm constantly praying
But memories keep fading
So I'm holding on tight to today.
Things that I can't explain,
Feel like I'm falling apart,
It brings pain to my heart,
And I don't really know what to say
Except that I'm missing things
Things that I can't explain
Memories are hazy
words don't come easy
And sometimes I feel like I'm lost in a maze
Remember that song you sang,
When everyone danced, and we all clapped our hands,
I wish you would sing it again
Things that I can't explain,
Nothing's the same, (it's) like I'm lost in a maze, and my memories have been re-arranged.
Your eyes were all red, and your pillow was wet from your tears,
You asked me again to tell you the name of that man, I swallowed real hard put my hand on your arm and said, that’s my dad, and WE'RE missing things....
You asked me again to tell you the name of that man, I swallowed real hard put my hand on your arm and said, that's my dad, and I'm missing...
Your fingers brushed over that mem’ry of you and your friend, you don't know her name, but you're sure she's the same, today as she was back then, and you're missing....
Your fingers brushed over that mem'ry of you and your friend, at a time in your life when your dreams were alive and your future knew no end (and you’re missing…)
Your fingers brushed over that memory you captured back then, at a time in your life when you felt so alive and your dreams lay up ahead, (and you're missing....)
Your fingers brushed over that moment you captured back then, a time in your life when your dreams were alive and your future knew no end (and you're missing...)
Your fingers brushed over those faces you knew way back when, time has passed on, but the mem’ries aren't gone, they remind you that you’re (missing….)
Your fingers brushed over those faces you knew way back when, time has moved on but the mem'ries hold strong, reminding you that you're (missing....)
I reached for your shoulder, you rolled over, and climbed out of bed.
I reached out to hold you, but you turned away again.
You said things aren't working out and you can't go through it again.
Truth isn't lost, facts can be found, in the American Underground, no talking head's gonna bring us down, in the American Underground.
Truth comes to light, facts can be found, in the American underground, no talking heads to bring us down, in the American underground.
Take the pill that is red, throw the blue pill down, join the American underground.
rEVOLution spells love if you turn things around, in the American underground.
Let's dance like we're free and walk like we're proud, in the American underground. We'll
rise to the top if we live life loud, the American underground.
When future generations reminisce about our times, will history reveal that we refused to dim our lights
When future generations reminisce about our times, will history record us as the ones who made things right.
Grab hold of the vision and push with all your might, the sky is the limit, if we try.
Powered by compassion we can drive our message home, love is the key, to our liberty.
United in our purpose, we're confident and proud, growing strong together, we live the truth out loud.
Struggling for the future, like unsung heroes of the past, who stood their ground, even when, it cost them all they had.
Who decides what is best for me?
Who has the right to steel my liberty?
What is it about our freedom that scares the powers that be? They're more worried about their money than our liberty.
United in our purpose, we're confident and proud, the rhetoric won't hurt us, we live the truth out loud.
But there's still a chance, we'll turn things around, in the American underground.
But all isn't lost, facts can be found, in the American underground.
Freedom ain't cheap, it's sold by the pound, in the American underground.
All isn't lost, (yeah) truth can be found, everybody's not upside down.
I've prayed with conviction, I've asked for what we need, (but) it's gonna take some action, if we want transparency.
Magicians keep their secrets, their audience believes, the grandest of illusions, is their reality.
Today my head is in the clouds, (I'm) looking for some space, trying to rise above the noise, (and) make sense of this place.
The talking heads have been working overtime/ fabricating fear so we'll toe the line
I've been told /more than once/ don't swim against the current/
Making waves where they don't belong is such a wasted effort.
Another moment of silence, another deadly day. How do we stop (all) the violence, how do we change our ways.
POTUS looking sad, tells us he feels bad, offers us his thoughts and prayers. Me, I'm feeling mad, his words don't make me glad, they don't get us anywhere.
Another day, another flag lowered half way, to honor the victims who used to play, in the school yard. ?
I don't watch the news anymore, it's all about guns and war.
Hey middle class man are you tired of payin' for yachts and islands that you'll never see.
The proud ninety-nine keeping step with the times, we're showing up so they can't keep us down.
A shift to the left, then a step to the right, skillfully dividing the American mind.
We yell and we fight to protect what is right, while the backroom players lay their money down.
Look to the left, or fight with the right, cause there's no sign we're gonna find common ground.
Lost my head and shoulders, found my VO5
You're free to breathe, free to live, free to love again
You've lost all hope, yeah I've been in your place, so glad someone rescued me, before it was too late.
Heaven danced and angels sang the day that you were born, and every time you take a breath, they're cheering up a storm.
You're worth fighting for, you're worth talking down, your life matters more, than anything else right now.
Just turn around, and take a leap of faith, forever begins today, your new life awaits.
You're worth fighting for, you're worth talking down, your life matters more, than anything else right now.
You made it here against all odds, be confident that you belong, no one else can take your place, take my hand, let's run this race.
Take your place among us, hold your head up high, you are meant to be here, someday you'll know why.
The sunrise in the morning, the moon and stars at night, are shining bright to bless you with their glorious guiding light.
(So) stay up for the sunrise, watch the new day dawn, let morning break the silence, that's held you for too long.
Your life serves a purpose, beyond your widest dream, don't miss out on being, the blessing we all need.
There's no one else like you, no one can take your place. You're somebody's saving grace, they're gonna need you some day
The sunrise in the morning, the moon and stars at night, the earth is waiting for you to celebrate this life.
A cool breeze on a summer day that blows by to remind us, there's a higher power looking for a way to find us.
Deep inside, your light shine bright, one eternal flame, trying to find its way
There's a light shining bright on the inside, all you gotta do, is let it shine through you.
Light shines brightest, during times of total darkness
I feel your desperation to be free from pain and sorrow, let me guide you through tonight and stay with you tomorrow.
The candle of your soul, is still searching for salvation, as long as you are breathing there is hope for restoration.
The candle of your soul, is still searching for salvation, unspoken words full of pain are pleading for their freedom.
You feel you have no choice, cause the future seems so pointlessless, trying to erase the things that brought you to this moment.
Standing in the silence of your thoughts that disappeared, nothing left to talk about, just useless, empty words.
I see that cold harsh wind pushing you closer to the end, take my hand, let me shelter you my friend.
Livin' on the fringe, every day outs the same thing, steppin'inch by inch away from your dreams.
I see you, I feel you, I hear your heart, it's calling for the pain to stop.
We'll shake it till the moonlight fades, and dawn reveals a brand new day.
Listen to the DJ spinnin' that sound, gonna lift you up, so you can get down.
Don't worry that it's been awhile, you're never gonna lose your style, jump to your feet, hop on the beat, and let me see that smile.
Drop that beat and it all comes back, just like ridin' a bike, wheels in motion, playground's open, (and) I'm playin' hard tonight.
Got to get up if you wanna get down, move to the music, spinnin' that sound
Gotta get up if you wanna get down, just a little move can turn it around.
Forget about your troubles, turn yourself around, feel the beat, get on your feet, it's time for gettin' down.
Forget about your troubles, just spin yourself around, it's good to move, you got the groove, nothing's gonna stop you now.
Shimmy to the music, rock away the night, any way you choose it, I know you’ll get it right.
Adreniline takes over as I shimmy to the sound, I feel the beat, turn up the heat, nothing’s gonna stop me now.
Adreniline takes over as I shimmy to the sound, I feel the beat, turn up the heat, nothing’s gonna slow me down.
Shimmy to the music, rock away the night, any way you choose it, I know you'll get it right.
There you are, burnin' up the dance floor, I know what I'm in for, gettin' down with you.
Pump up the volume, wind up the sound, babe put on your dancin' shoes, it's time to get down.
Adreniline takes over as I move in on the sound, I feel the beat, and body heat, nothing's gonna slow me down.
I feel a flame igniting when I see your famous smile, I watch you move, you got the groove, that sets my feet on fire.
Your smile lights up the venue, that's the only light I need, I can see just what I want to, all of you, and some of me.
A shining Prima Donna, you know how to make me move, no denying, sparks start flying, when you get in the groove.
Your hips will be a-swayin', in that golden sequined dress, (and/but) your smile will steal the spotlight, as you outshine all the rest.
Now I'm racin' for the dance floor, cause I know that's where you'll be / looking pretty as a picture in a high-end gallery
A rush of hope runs through me, it feels good to be alive, (yeah) your timing's always perfect, you know what I need tonight
The moment I lay eyes on you, adrenaline kicks in, you're like a magic potion that my body can't resist.
A rush of hope runs through me, and I start to feel alive, (yeah) your timing's always perfect, you know what I need tonight.
Like a beacon in the darkness, you will guide me through this storm, I suddenly feel life in me, as hope begins to grow.
Now I'm ra-cin' to the finish, I'll put my whole self in it, to be where you are.
I feel it, feel it in my bones, the music's calling me and I can't say no.
I hear it! I hear the sound, it's reachin' me where I am, gotta get down.
My spirit's really willing but my body feels worn, I'll just keep on movin' 'til the beat takes control.
My spirit is willing but my body feels weak, so I just keep on movin' 'til I feel the heat.
I just keep on pushing til my body responds, adrenaline take over cause I want to get down.
Been workin' out - to DVDs and livestream, zoomin' in - to open mics and meetings.
Walls, walls, walls, walls walls, I'm breaking through these walls.
All wrapped up in emotion, gotta cut this energy loose.
(I'm) all wrapped up in emotion, gotta set this energy free.
Won't waste a single moment of the time I have with you
Used to be just you and me, but now we're us and we
I thank the Lord above that I'm with you.
My better half, came to life, when I met you.
My universe begins and ends with you
My world feels complete with you
Guess the past can't compete with me and you
Guess it can't compete with the love I share with you.
My heart used to roam, now it's found a home
Wamderin' on my own, now my heart is home
I used to hope and pray that I'd see this day
The past seems far away, from where we are today
I used to dream someday, someone would come my way
My heart was made for you
Playin' our favorite tune
Got a picture of the future and it looks like you and I
It's no trouble that I'm seeing double when it's you and I.
There's no end in sight, for you and I.
The sum of one plus one equals you and I.
Holding hands and kissing in the moonlight, for all time.
Together has never felt better than you and I.
Move over, future, make room for you and I.
Together's always better when it includes you and I.
I could see forever in your eyes
You're the missing piece that makes my life
I was guided by blind ambition, now I’m lookin’ at the world through double vision.
I was guided by blind ambition, now I'm login' at the world through double vision.
I was guided by blind ambition, now I see the world through double vision.
I was living life with blind ambition, now everything appears in double-vision.
I was heading in a single direction, then you became my object of affection.
Thought I had it all figured out, was doin' pretty good by myself
I don't want to miss any us time, life is so much brighter now that you're mine.
That life could even be more beautiful, double what I thought I knew it could.
That life could be a lot more beautiful, with you.
That all I'd hoped for, every dream, was standing right in front of me.
Every time I walk through the door, I'm reminded that I'm not alone.
Breathe-in silence, exhale kindness, this is how compassion finds us
Breathe-in silence, exhale kindness, let's give love a chance to find us
Breathe in silence, exhale kindness
There are days when I feel empty, just lookin' to survive, and days when hope arises and makes me feel alive
I'll take a stand against brutality, we're not free till all of us can breathe
You're not meant to sail this storm alone.
Fan the flame of hope that's shining through your eyes,
Despair is on your doorstep, but it cannot block the light,
Isolation leaves me anxious, what I really need is closeness.
(We) close our/your eyes and listen to the stillness, rise with all the courage that's within us.
When reality is changing, right before your eyes, and you're not sure how to live a normal life.
When churchbells cease to ring joyful news.
Just reach out, see how far we can go.
Close your eyes and listen for that still, small voice, then stand with all the courage you possess.
Remember that storm the year before last, knew it was comin' but we never guessed, it would hit so hard.
I'll always remember last Christmas, we made plans to meet in the spring.
I don't want a remedy, don't prescribe a fix, you can keep the antidote, in your bag of tricks.
(You know) I don't need a Doctor, to tell me what I got, I recognize the symptoms, I feel it in my heart (or gut).
Our love is outrageous, contagious and strong.
Our love is outrageous, courageous, and strong
We're standing on common ground
(I've) been (doin' a lot of) thinkin'
One world! One chance! One song! One dance! One sky! One place! One Life, Our way!
One hush, heard throughout the earth, in awe, of every human's worth.
One touch, (and) I feel so alive, One love, I see it in your eyes. One world! One chance! One song! One dance! One sky! One place! One Life, Our way!
One love, to fill the universe, One shout, to make our voices heard.
One hush that fills the earth with tears, One prayer that we’ll live beyond our fears.
One spec, within the universe, One shout, to make our voices heard.
One hush, that stills the Universe, One kiss, to wipe away the hurts
One hush that fills the universe with tears, One prayer we'll choose to live beyond our fears.
One world, one big family, one love, for all humanity.
One prayer, that we will find our way, One hope, that we'll see brighter days.
One hope, that gives us strength to share, Our joy, with people everywhere.
One prayer, that we will all be safe, One love that takes our breath away
One earth, for all of us to share, one chance, to show how much we care.
One prayer, that we will find our way, One hope, that we'll see brighter days.
One flag to represent us all, One hope, One life, One call.
One flag to represent us all, One hope, One life, One world.
One strength, that comes from endless hope, One gift, that gives without reward.
One prayer, that we will find our way, One hope, that we'll see brighter days.
One joy, as our thoughts unite, One voice, calling in the night.
One voice, calling in the night, One joy, as our voices all unite.
One voice, proclaiming peace on earth, One hope, to heal the hurt.
One voice, proclaiming loud and clear, Our hope, is peace on earth.
One earth, for all of us to share, one chance, to show how much we care.
One earth, for us to care about, One life, we can make it count.
One earth, for us to care about, One life, let's make it count.
One world, aglow from sea to sea, One hope, for all humanity.
One world, one big family, one love, for all humanity.
And the love and light, within our hearts / shines even brighter in the dark
And now you see me, and I see you, in a whole new light, from a different view.
I can see the worry in your eyes, wondering if your loved ones will survive, my heart feels your pain, let's join the world in praying for all mankind.
I can see the worry in your eyes, wondering if the ones you love will thrive, my heart feels your pain, I'm hoping and I'm praying for all mankind.
(Better than) Pure gold/ living in harmony/Can't miss/ this opportunity/ to live as One World
And maybe we'll love a little longer, stand a little taller, be stronger for each other, while we learn to make things better
When we say peace on earth, for every boy and girl, we're saying we're in this together, part of one amazing world.
By design, we're here for one another, lift your eyes, discover all the wonder
Lift your eyes, the world is filled with wonder, by design, we're here to help each other
Tomorrow's not promised, but today is upon us
Plans we made last time you were here, are cancelled 'cause the future's so unclear.
That beautiful blue sky, sunlight on my face, a few clouds passing by, seem to wave as if to say....
So when you feel those war drums beating in your head, and you’re about to fall apart, listen to your heart.
So when you feel those war drums beating in your head, and you're about to fall apart, lean in and listen to the rhythm of my heart, peace will find you, peace will find you.
If I am far away when you feel those war drums beating, tune in to the rhythm of your heart, find who you are.
And if I'm far away when you hear those war drums beating, look for the strength that lies within you, I am with you.
If you feel you're alone when darkness closes in, stand firm at the front line of your heart, I'm not very far.
And if I’m gone one day when the battle starts to rage, look to the frontlines of your heart, I'm not too far.
And if I'm gone one day when the battle starts to rage, look to the frontlines of your heart, you'll find me there.
Wish I could turn back time and take away the pain, but life only moves in one direction.
Some things cannot be bought, some things can’t be sold. You are a priceless gift, more precious than pure gold. And you know…I’ll carry you (maybe end with a shortened verse instead of going to another chorus).
Some things cannot be bought, some things can't be sold. You are a priceless gift, more precious than pure gold. And you know...I'll carry you (maybe end with a shortened verse instead of going to another chorus).
Till the night turns to day/ till the fear starts to fade/ in the valley down below
I'll carry you, through the forest to the peaks, where we'll take in every view, and dream our biggest dreams.
(I’ll carry you), keep your hopes and dreams alive, when there's nothing more to do, I’ll still be by your side.
(I'll carry you), keep your hopes and dreams alive, when we've done all we can do, I'll still be by your side.
I'll carry you (Darden's line) when your dreams feel far away, I will circle 'round the moon, if I can find a way.
We graced the skies, let our hopes and dreams take flight, faced our fears with all our might, on this journey we call life.
I always knew, that your love for me was strong, and you’d do anything for me, so I could carry on.
We shared our lives, all our hopes and all our fears, we gave all we had to give, as we stumbled through the years
You'll be safe in my embrace, I'll wash all your tears away, and when the night is through, I'll carry you.
You can rest in my embrace, you'll be warm and you'll feel safe, it's the least that I can do. I'll carry you.
I will be your guiding light, lead you through the darkest night, 'til the morning sun breaks through. (Then) I'll carry you.
I will answer when you call, when your back's against the wall, and you've done all you can do. I'll carry you.
I will cradle your sweet dreams, and I'll rock them while you sleep, by the bright light of the moon. I will carry you.
I will cradle your sweet dreams, and protect them while you sleep, by the bright light of the moon. I will carry you.
I will cradle your sweet dreams, and protect them while you sleep, you know I will carry you. I will carry you.
(Just) Call on me, when the day is dark as midnight, (and) every breath is hard to come by, when you're lost, and you don't know what to do.
Call my name, when the day is dark as midnight, (and) every breath is hard to come by, I'll be there for you.
Here's my hand, I'm right here by your side, one day at a time, we'll make this journey together.
I saw the future through your eyes, with confidence you graced the skies.
When I lose my faith, your love lights the way
Angel in disguise, gave me wings to fly
Every loving deed, sowed a living seed
You poured out your life, selfless sacrifice
(In) darkness and in light, you sowed seeds of life
Brave and caring friend, faithful to the end
Blessings from above, found me through your love.
You and I we saw highs and we saw lows you taught me what I need to know in this life and beyond
Your sacrifice, taught me lessons about love, learned the things that really matter, are blessings from above.
Your steadfast love, gave me hope when I was lost, And I learned when we're together, I'm right where I Belong
Your sacrifice, taught me lessons about love, the things that money cannot buy, you freely gave them up.
I never doubted, that your love for me was strong, and you'd do anything for me, so I could carry on.
Flight 419 (four nineteen) to Nashville is boarding at Gate C. Time to take to the sky on the flight of my life, headin' home to my family.
What’s going on? You know you can tell me. Baby I know your heart, and it tears be apart, that you’ve buried it so far from home.
What's going on? You know you can tell me. Baby I know your heart, and it tears be apart, that you've buried it far from me.
Yeah it's been seven months now, and I'm still trying to figure out, why I feel so alone, even though you've come back home, You're still gone.
Never thought my heart would leave me, on a distant shore. But it traveled half a world away, to a place, it's never been before.
We started out with giant dreams in living color, there was nothing we wouldn't do, for each other.
I slowly run my fingers down the worn out photograph. Place it safely in my pocket, and cover it with my hand.
We all have dreams, of where we should be, just how we get there, depends on a number of things.
It could have been you, it could have been me, one thing forsure, we don't always know, where the path we travel, will lead.
Let's wave goodbye to the dark midnight sky, and embrace all the grace of the day.
That second of bliss, found in one, simple kiss, transports us, to worlds far away.
With one, simple kiss, we're transported to a bliss, time stops, night drops, away.
When darkness invades, our small, earthly space, we unmask it, and cast it away.
(So) When darkness invades, our sacred, earthly space, unmask it, and cast it away.
The dark, took a chance, but it was no match, for our chilling, and thrilling, escape.
(So) let's wave goodbye, to the cold, midnight sky, and live in, the prism, we made.
Let’s reach for the stars, no matter how far, in that moment, we’re stolen away.
Let's reach for the stars, no matter how far, that's the moment, we're stolen away.
The dark, took a chance, but could not withstand, the power, of stealing away.
So let's wave good bye, to this cold, midnight sky, and go for, the path forged, by faith.
Amidst the eclipse the smile on your lips, shines lighter and brighter than day.
When darkness invades, our small, earthly space, determined, we find an escape.
Stepping back into time, we're no longer blind, our mind is, aligned with, the stars.
Wide awake, and entranced, we break out in dance, as our mind are, aligned with the stars.
Wide awake, and entranced, we break out in dance, as our mind are, aligned
Waking up, next to you, in a rose colored room, I feel weightless, and ageless, and new.
Waking with you, in a rose colored room, I feel weightless, and ageless, and new.
So we wave good bye, to the dark midnight sky, and embrace, the grace of day.
Released from the trance, we laugh and we dance, mindful of all that we have.
When we reach, for the stars, with all that we are, (we're) ignited and guided by love.
Stars are shining bright, a boundless sea of diamonds, dancing in an endless sky, with brilliant new horizons.
Stars begin to fade, the midnight sky is blushing, once again nature proves that, heaven and earth are touching.
Breaking of the dawn, a clear path lies before us,
Courage rises up, our voices become stronger, we join the world in chorus, as shadows run for cover.
Such a brilliant sight, endless illumination, the world is shining brighter, than all my expectations.
Fix my gaze on you, the hero in my story, no one else reveals the truth, like you in all your glory.
Images of you, some secrets can't be spoken, close my eyes and fade into, the memories we've woven.
Leaving time, finding space, Imagination has it’s place, dreams are meant, to survive, and stolen moments keep the dreams alive.

Clouds begin to move, the sky is open, nothing left to prove, in this stolen moment.
Walking in the light, illuminates the senses, stepping out of time, we lay down our defenses.
Take a deeper breath, let the mem'ries gather, release regrets, they don't really matter.
Silhouettes appear, figures smiling, playing, memories so clear, a past worth saving.
A voice from inside, screams hope has not died, it's shrouded, and clouded, from time.
Deeds left undone, songs left unsung, taunt us, and haunt us, tonight.
Will despair, and regret, pave the road ahead, or will grace, guide the way through the night?
(When) dread, and regret, cause us to forget, the sun will not dawn without the night.
Lying sleepless in my bed, demons race in to defend their space inside my over-thinking head.
News of war, and unrest, weigh heavy on my chest, trying to catch my breath isn't easy.
In the silence of the night, I hear the chaos in my mind, resolve to get some sleep, if I can find, a way to leave the day behind.
Stepping back, leaving time, shake the chaos from my mind, release the stain (or pain), live again, stolen moments keep me sane.
Leaving time, finding space, stolen moments keep me sane.
Leaving time, stepping out, the sun on my face, I'm in another place, as I embrace this stolen moment.
I steal a moment to re-connect, think and feel, re-direct, nagging thoughts that cause me pain, stolen moments keep me sane.
I steal a moment, to reconnect, to think and feel, to re-direct, my wayward thoughts, cause me pain, stolen moments keep me sane.
Rest is calling out to me, can I afford the luxury, of wasting time, letting go, stealing silence, will I lose control?
Lying sleepless in my bed, demons racing to defend their space inside my over-thinking head, it's time to put them down to rest
There's no space between us/ Right now we are timeless.
So I want to tell you/just how much I love you!
Let's make more mem'ries/ while the clock's still moving.
Before time passess/let's dance all the dances.
Let's enjoy this moment/ 'Cause we can't relive it.
Let's write our story/And share it proudly
Every time you hold me/ we're making hist'ry
So I'll feel each moment/not afraid to own it!
How can I regret any moment that led to you standing beside me today
Every heartbeat reminds me/ Today's not behind me
Every heartbeat reminds me/ we're all on this journey/we lead or we follow/to get to tomorrow/to be with each other again.
Every heartbeat reminds me/ the path that's behind me/ has been walked out by others/who struggled and suffered/ when their world came tumble-ing down.
Every heartbeat reminds me/ the path that's behind me/ carried teardrops and laughter/ And sometimes an answer/ to the questions I couldn't let go.
Every heartbeat reminds me/ the path that I'm climbing
Every heartbeat reminds me/ the path that's behind me. Carried mem'ries of sorrow, and hope for tomorrow/But nothing was written in stone
Every heartbeat reminds me/ that the mountain I'm climbing/ Is just part of the journey/ I don't need to worry/
Every heartbeat reminds me/ There's someone beside me
There is HOPE for tomorrow/ I just need to follow....
There is how for tomorrow/ so I'll learn to follow
Life's not just behind me
Life's not quite behind me
We're here for each other
Catch every grain of sand
This world's always changing
The world's always turning
(And or I'll) cry when I need to
Don't wait 'til it's too late
Leave no room for regrets
Make mem'ries that matter
Embrace what love offers (thank you, Keith)
Make time for what matters
Embrace what comes my way
Take time for family, and make time for friends
Keep every promise I made to myself.
Stop by for a visit, make time for us.
End my good byes with a hug and a kiss
(2nd couplet) The past may be gone/But my will remains strong.
I know I can't go back/And find what I once had/if I could I would run/And before that day's done/You'd be the jewel in my crown.
I know I can't go back/ To change what I could have
I'm alive and I'm breathin '/yeah that's enough reason/to promise myself that somehow
Stuck again in the evening traffic/how much longer can I keep at this?
Tucked away in the bedroom closet/ memories in cardboard boxes/ marked 'My Life'/'My Life'.
You know I'm not the betting kind / And I'm never gonna change your mind!
(Keithcurtis) Well you hide your self/
Never mind the reasons/
Feel the felt/
Bet on the line/
(Merilee) Grab the dice/
Throw ‘em for a hopeless ride/(BNC)
And I’m never gonna change your mind.
(PatriciaA) So I show my cards / Lay ’em on the table/(Merilee) Time to fold/lay it all down /(keithcurtis)You check your hand / (Merilee) hoping that you're right this time.
(So I show my cards / Lay ’em on the table – PatriciaA)/ Will you fold/ Are you all in (brief, suspenseful pause) / You grab the dice/ And throw em for a HOPELESS ride! I’m never gonna change your mind.
(So I show my cards / Lay ’em on the table - PatriciaA)/ Will you fold/ Are you all in (brief, suspenseful pause) / You grab the dice/ And throw em for another ride! I’m never gonna change your mind.
So I show my cards / Lay ’em on the table (PatriciaA)/ Will you fold/ Are you all in /Winner takes all /or maybe we'll share the prize! But I'm never gonna change your mind.
I rest my case / Think I won you over/ (But) for Love's sake/ I'll call it a tie/ let's just stop/(and) Save it for another time. 'Cause I'm never gonna change your mind.
I rest my case/ Hope I won you over / Either way/ Time to move on/ You and I have better ways to spend our time/ And I'm never gonna change your mind!!
So I rest my case/ Think I won you over/ Either way/ let's call it a day/ we can find/ a better way to spend our time/ And I'm never gonna change your mind!
So I rest my case/ Think I won you over/ Either way/ (It's) time to move on/ You and I/ should spend our time being kind. Cause I'm never gonna change your mind!
Now I'll rest my case/ Take a little breather/(A) change of pace/(and) we'll be alright.
So I rest my case/ Take a little breather
In the middle of your heart/Hidden out of sight/There's a little part/Captured by the light/Revealing to the dark/The notion that I might...
In the middle of your heart/ hidden out of sight/ bullseye('s) in the dark/ reason shines a light/ hoping to impart/the notion that I might....
In the middle of your heart/hidden out of sight/ you feel a little spark/ reason shines a light/revealing to the dark/ the notion that I might/ might just/ might be right
Lookin' for a ray of hope, just a simple glance will do. It's not seein' eye to eye I know, but certainly the start of something new.
I'm searching for a ray of hope, (And) Watching for the slightest chance, to really let our love light glow, let's forget our disagreements and dance!
You and I are so alike, It took awhile to figure that out. When we share a laugh and smile, we forget what we were fusin' about.
Verse 3 re-Work using same phrases: I could state my case, try to win you over, scream and pace, tangled in pride, what a waste, to argue till the end of time.
You and I are so alike, Surprised we couldn't figure that one out. When you flash that killer smile, I forget what we were talking about.
(Edit) Fire away! Hope I hit the bullseye, what we say, shouldn't tear us apart. I'll follow the high road and swallow my foolish pride, 'cause I'm never gonna change your mind!
Fire away! Going for the bullseye. What we say, shouldn't tear us apart. I'm gonna take the high road and swallow my pride, cause I'm never gonna change your mind.
Well I could show you a map- Draw you a picture- Read the facts, line by line- but what's the point- I'd just be wasting our time, cause I'm never gonna change your mind!
I'm never gonna change your mind, I see the flames burnin'in your eyes.
I was never gonna change your mind, you're the type that holds (onto) a grudge. So I finally gave up, quit tryin', and decided to depend on luck.
You're never gonna change my mind, the last time was the very last time.
I'm never gonna change your mind, but I thought you'd like to know...
I'm never gonna change your mind, but your heart might listen to reason.
I'm never gonna change your mind, why beat my head against the wall?
You're never gonna change my mind, you can't convince me to live a lie.
You're never gonna change my mind, I'd be a fool to believe your lies.
I'm never gonna change your mind, but your heart will convince you, to try one more time.
You're never gonna change my mind, you know I mean it, we're out of time.
I was never gonna change your mind, so I gave up, stopped tryin'
jaynesachs commented on Merilee's lyric:
"Hi Merilee! Instead of something he won’t forget... since we just did something similar on the bridge, what would be a line that could start a brand new thought that this character might say in this situation? He’s maybe either saying a goodbye in his own way, or reassuring her in some way... or some thought like that maybe. Can’t wait to read what you come up with. I always put myself into the character if I can and try to channel into his or her heart. "
