Drowning
03:50

It's not surprisin' the water keeps risin'
higher and higher to put out the fire
that you set in me but you can't see that I'm drowning
and your pride is the cause of this tide
My fire's no hotter because of this water
the river keeps flowin' in spite where it's goin'
away from you and I say to you that I'm drowning
and you can't see what this is doing to me
Your yelling and screaming I wish I was dreaming
I don't know what I've done to makes you be no fun
but all the time I cry out loud I'm drowning
and if you were still by my side you could stop this tide
You put in my place said you needed more space
I think that it's tragic that we've lost the magic
that we once had 'cause now I'm sad and I'm drowning
how could you say we both felt the same way
My heart had been broken since last we had spoken
I called yesterday I guess you were away
I don't know where I hope you're there drowning
what did you do to make me fall for you
It's not surprisin' the water keeps risin'
higher and higher to put out the fire
that you set in me but you can't see that I'm drowning

Never Hear Hello
03:30
|

When I see on the street downtown with somebody new
I can feel my heart breaking just like it did before
when you passed me on the street and said hello and I turned
I turned away
I'd give all I that had to be there again
(too bad so sad you can't go back)
I'd give all that I had to hear you say
(too bad so sad you'll never hear)
hello
You'll never hear hello
never hear hello
It was in the springtime when the birds were singing their tunes
It rained all morning and the sky was already blue
you looked across at me and smiled and said hello
I turned away
I'd give all I that had to be there again
(too bad so sad you can't go back)
I'd give all that I had to hear you say
(too bad so sad you'll never hear)
hello
You'll never hear hello
never hear hello
You'll never hear hello again
I'll never hear hello again
You'll never hear hello again
I'll never hear hello again
when I hear hello when we meet again
When I see you on my street downtown just walking alone
I can hear my heart start racing like it did before
when you looked across at me and smiled and said hello
I looked your way
I'd give all that I had to be there again
(don't be so sad he will be back)
I'd give all that I had to hear you say
(don't be so sad you'll always hear)
hello

They dwell in the fields in their tents all alone
without their families away from their homes
no presents will wake them by day's first light
Santa won't visit these men in the night
The men they all slumber alone in their bags
by their sand-filled boots with a hope that will sag
with the knowledge that when they step out of their tents
they'll be alone without children or parents
"This is for all the men and women who are out there serving our nation right now"
It'll be a lonely Christmas without you
our house seems empty without your shining light
my heart goes out to the men and women
who sleep alone in the fields on Christmas night
But the choice it was theirs to devote their lives
to protect what they love though it cut like a knife
with years they spent serving our nation
was a way for them to make a patriotic donation
everybody helps in the ways that they can
sending cards of happy holidays to every man
or women who serves with the troops far away
these cards of love brighten up their Christmas Day
It'll be a lonely Christmas without you (jingle bells)
our house seems empty without your shining light (silent night)
my heart goes out to the men and women
who sleep alone in the fields on Christmas night
Alone in the fields by themselves in December
the messages of love help them to remember
why they left their friends families and memories
to fight for their country overseas
this song was inspired by one already known
written by Santa 'bout a man all alone
who stands by these words "these decisions were mine"
gives Santa a lesson in time
You can spread the word all over the earth
Christmas isn't all about merriment and mirth
it's a time for reflection and a time for giving
a time to recognize that life is for living
It'll be a lonely Christmas without you (jingle bells)
our house seems empty without your shining light (silent night)
my heart goes out to the men and women
who sleep alone in the fields on Christmas night

I Still Love You

I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why you're with that girl over there
I don't know why you're with that girl over there
she has hurt you abused you and told you such lies about me
but I still love you, you see
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why you're with that girl over there
I don't know why you're with that girl over there
she pretends that she loves you but I know that she's not true
but I still love you I do
don't believe what they say
just believe what you see in my eyes
you can see they're crying for you
I don't want to say that we're through
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why you're with that girl over there
I don't know why you're with that girl over there
she has hurt you abused you and told you such lies about me
but I still love you, you see
but I still love you, you see
but I still love you, you see

Goodbye Song
03:21
|
|||
|
Traveling along this road together
we sang some songs that made us cry
sweet harmony our voices singing
but now it's time to say goodbye
a great adventure story we had
some disappointments along the way
sweet harmony our voices singing
but now it's time to say goodbye
time ticking away
I wish we could stay here forever together
I'll miss you
Its been so nice to have this time
to sing in melody and rhyme
our voices blending in sweet harmony
but now it's time to say goodbye
keep this treasure in your heart when we have parted
I'll think of you with every song I sing

Smile

When I see you walking down the street I smile
when I see you walking down the street I smile
can't help thinking about the times
we share when we're together
when I see you walking down the street I smile
walkin' along on a beach in summer
the sunshine as bright as your eyes
kissing under the autumn moon
I wish it would last forever
when I see you walking down the street I smile
when I see you walking down the street I smile
can't help thinking about the times
we share when we're together
when I see you walking down the street I smile
layin' around in a springtime meadow
the flowers as bright as your eyes
snugglin' up on a winter's night
I wish it would last forever
when I see you walking down the street I smile
(I love you - smile - I love to see you smile)

Love Me Like This
04:02
|

|
I know I've been broken shot down and lied to
and I know it makes it so much harder for you
but you've been there every step of the way
darling don't leave me now
cause when I look into your eyes and I see you
you're the only one who knows how to rescue
a soul that's surrounded by walls
but you're starting to tear them down
stop me from stopping myself from just falling
right head over heels into your open arms
and remind me someday that we'll be far away
from this mess and decay that says no we can't do it
love me like pain is just some guy who moved
far away in fourth grade
and we never had heard from him since
love me like Rose loves the Doctor
or actually love me like this
never mind just love me like this
you say we're not perfect that's OK
I know that together we'll cut through
there are no exceptions
when the sands running fast why are we moving so slow
stop me from stopping myself from just falling
right head over heels into your open arms
and remind me someday that we'll be far away
from this mess and decay that says no we can't do it
love me like pain is just some guy who moved
far away in fourth grade
and we never had heard from him since
love me like Ally and Noah
or actually love me like this
never mind just love me like this
stop me from stopping myself from just falling
right head over heels into your open arms
and remind me someday that we'll be far away
from this mess and decay that says no we can't do it
love me like pain is just some guy who moved
far away in fourth grade
and we never had heard from him since
love me like anyone you want to
as long as you love me like this
long as you love me like this

The First Noel Night

The first noel brought joy to the world
and jingle bells jingled out the news
of that silent night
it came upon a midnight clear
the angel song was heard on high
and jingle bells jingled out the news
of that silent night
hark how the bells hark how the bells
ring silver bells silver bells
hark how the bells hark how the bells
ring silver bells silver bells
rejoice rejoice rejoice rejoice
and live in heavenly peace
let ev'ry heart
be joyful as all nations rise
and jingle bells jingled out the news
of that silent night
what child is this born on this oh holy night
and jingle bells jingled out the news
of that silent night
hark how the bells hark how the bells
ring silver bells silver bells
hark how the bells hark how the bells
ring silver bells silver bells
rejoice rejoice rejoice rejoice
and sleep in peace
and be at peace
and live in heavenly peace

The Star Spangled Banner
01:51
|
|||
|
Oh say can you see
by the dawn's early light
what so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming
whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight
o're the ramparts we watched
where so gallantly streaming
and the rocket's red glare
the bombs bursting in air
gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there
Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave
o'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave
