(jeff wood/marc beeson)

Before you i was totally lost
And so hopelessly sure i'd end up by myself
I was so unaware there was someone out there
For me who'd love me like nobody else

Then you gave me something that i always wanted
Now i'm giving it all back to you

Darlin' completely
With all of my soul
I was so empty 'till you made me whole
Girl, you complete me
More every day
I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start
Girl, i'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely

I did time as a single man year after year
And right when i almost gave up
Way up high on a ledge leaning over the edge
I was mercifully saved by your love

It might take a lifetime
But i know that i'll find the right words to tell you
I'm yours

Darlin' completely
With all of my soul
I was so empty 'till you made me whole
Girl, you complete me
More every day
I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start
Girl, i'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely

Right from the start
Girl, i'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely

Oh girl, completely

(richard fagan/gordon kennedy)

When you told me
That we were through
I thought it would be easy
Getting over you
Now i know that it's gonna take some time
'cause when i come home now
What do i see
So many memories staring at me
I know you left
But you left so much behind

It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone

I can't take this anymore
I'm half of what i was before
Ever since i lost my better half
When i close my eyes
You're all i see
You're even walking in my sleep
I wanna cry but then i gotta laugh

It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone

It still ain't clear that you ain't here
To hear me babble on
'cause you've got a long way to go
Before you're gone

If you come back we can start anew
'cause i'm so miserable without you
It's kind of like you never left at all

It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone

(bob regan/chris lindsey)

I love the way you move
Like moon light on the sea
The way your body calls me
Like a secret melody
The way you start a fire
When you look into my eyes
The way you always love me
Until i'm satisfied

There are moments
When i love you
Beyond the limits of my human heart
I want to hold you
And take care of you
The way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine

I don't know how you know
Exactly what i need
I don't how you found
The man i wanna be
I don't how your sweet tears
Make me see clear again
I don't how you know
I don't know how you go everywhere i've been

There are moments
When i love you
Beyond the limits of my human heart
I want to hold you
And take care of you
The way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine

The way you start a fire
When you look into my eyes
Past the pull of earth
Across the deep blue sky
Through the universe
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
Beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine

In case i haven't told ya lately
Just in case it doesn't show
I'm still enchanted by you baby
And i just wanted you to know

You were the first one
And you'll be the last one
You are the only one, i swear
You took me to heaven
Our first night together
And you still take me there

Whoa i
Just to have you in my arms tonight
Oh, how could i ask for more
You give me hope and strength
You give me life
Your love is all i'm living for

You were the first one
And you'll be the last one
You are the only one, i swear
You took me to heaven
Our first night together
And you still take me there

You take me higher
Than i ever dreamed i'd go
With you i leave the worries
Of this troubled world below

You took me to heaven
Our first night together
And you still take me there

Oh you took me to heaven
Our first night together
And you still take me
Darlin' you still take me
Baby you still take me
There

(jeffrey steele/danny wells)

I thought it was over
I thought i could move on
But i was wrong
I woke up last night
Calling your name

Feeling the blame baby
Thought i could quit you but
I still miss your love

What was i thinking
Thinking that i could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone i lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can i make you see
What matters most to me
Girl i shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you

You've got every right
To turn and walk away
I can't make you stay
I broke your heart
I wasted so much precious time baby
I see you with your friends
Wearing a smile again

What was i thinking
Thinking that i could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone i lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can i make you see
What matters most to me
Girl i shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you

Thought i could quit you
But i still miss your love

What was i thinking
Thinking that i could still
Walk down the street
Without you by my side
Or make it through one night
Alone i lied
I said a lot of things
I didn't really mean
How can i make you see
What matters most to me
Girl i shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment without you
Oh girl i shoulda known it
I couldn't last a moment
Without you

I'm tired of watching me hurt you
I'm tired of being the teardrops on your face
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
I know your every weakness
I can find one in everything you say
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way

I'm not the one that you really need
I'm not the one in your dreams
I can see it in your eyes
This ain't the way it should feel
I don't know how we got here
Love's no longer blind
If that's just how it is
Can we go on like this
Oh, baby what do you say
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way

I'll set your heart free
And if you're mine
You'll come flying back some day
But i'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way
Well i'm taking you with me
Like a room in my heart
You will have your place
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way

I'm not the one that you really need
I'm not the one in your dreams
I can see it in your eyes
This ain't the way it should feel
I don't know how we got here
Love's no longer blind
If that's just how it is
Can we go on like this
Oh, baby what do you say
I'm tired of loving this way
I'm tired of loving this way

She was singin' "Love Me Tender" at the local karaoke
I knew right then and there I had found my one and only
She takes my breath away everytime I see her
Just couldn't wait for all my boys to meet her
She's got season tickets and sweet pouty lips
She's all that, well equipped

She's all that, she loves to ride in my pickup truck
She's all that, Mom and Daddy can't believe my luck
She's all that, she looks so good we never wait in line
She's all that, she's all mine

She can throw a split finger and she's got her own glove
When she sinks a twenty footer, man I know I'm in love
Saturday night she's like a time bomb tickin'
She looks better on Sunday than Mama's fried chicken
She only gets mad when she missed SportsCenter
She's all that, even tempered

She's all that, she swings a nine handicap
She's all that, she looks sexy in a baseball cap
She's all that, she makes me want to lay it all on the line
She's all that, she's all mine

Whoa she's a perfect combination
Whoa got my defense off the field
Whoa every day's an education
Got my head a spinnin' like a spoke inside a wheel

She's all that, I'm in touch with her feminine side
She's all that, let me tell you man, it's one sweet ride
She's all that, a humdinger, boy, straight off the blocks
She's all that, no doubt about it, the girl rocks
The girl's all that
The girl's all that
The girl's all that
Going home to baby sure is fine
She's all that, she's all mine
She's all that, she's all mine
She's all that

Well the hammer fell down on a forty-four primer
Now there's one less problem in south carolina tonight
Wrong or right

She just looked at me as she finished her tale
And her blank expression went another shade pale of grey
There was nothin' to say
In the shadows of her face, i saw the scars
That you get when you live where love is hard
And she said

Don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug off
Until you've walked a mile in my bare feet
'cause there are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play

Well i put the cuffs on her
And i put her in the car
And i walked in and he was on the floor
Stone dead
Shot in the head

There were whiskey bottles and dope by his chair
And a starving baby with nothin' to wear
But tears
You know, the picture was clear

He had finally pushed her farther than the line
And the badge i wore had lost all of it's shine

Don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug off
Until you've walked a mile in my bare feet
'cause there are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play

Well i stood there thinkin' how justice was blind
But i didn't see any and i could see just fine
And i made up my mind

So i took the cuffs off her
And i took her back in
I wiped off the gun
And wrapped it in his right hand
Where it should've been

And the morning paper told in black and white
Just another senseless case of suicide
Oh, just a suicide

Oh but don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug off
Until you've walked a mile on my beat
'cause there are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play

Yeah the hammer fell down on a forty-four primer
Now there's one less problem in south carolina tonight
