WHISKY

WHISKY

HE SITS THERE IN THE DARK, DARKER THOUGHTS INSIDE HIS HEAD
HE POURS ANOTHER WHISKY, WHEN HE SHOULD REALLY GO TO BED
SOME DAYS THEY BURN LIKE WHISKY, BECOME SO VERY HARD TO SWALLOW
BUT HE LEARNS TO FACE THAT BITTER TASTE, AS SO MANY OTHERS FOLLOW

WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG, HOW DID HE LET IT SLIP AWAY
SO MANY WORDS UNSPOKEN, OR WAS THERE NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
HE SHOULD HAVE LEARNED SO MANY LESSONS FROM HIS MANY INDISCRETIONS
BUT WHEN THAT COLD WIND BLOWS AND THE WHISKY GLOWS
HE LIVES TO DRINK ANOTHER DAY

A MAN WILL TAKE A DRINK, BUT THE DRINK WILL TAKE ONE TOO
BUT WHEN THE WHISKY TAKES THE MAN THERE’S ALMOST NOTHING HE CAN DO
THE CHOICE WAS HIS AGAIN AND HE TOOK NO TIME TO MAKE IT
THEN HE POURED ANOTHER WHISKY SHE ALWAYS KNEW THAT HE WOULD TAKE IT

HE ALWAYS SAID I’LL CALL (ALCOHOL)
HE PROMISED I WILL CALL (ALCOHOL)
TELL MY CHILDREN I WILL CALL (ALCOHOL)
TELL MY MOTHER I WILL CALL (ALCOHOL)

NOW HE’S EATING HUMBLE PIE AND IT GIVES HIM FOOD FOR THOUGHT
HE’D HAD HIS CAKE AND EATEN IT WHEN JUST DESSERTS WERE BROUGHT
BUT ITS A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW WHEN YOU’RE EATEN UP WITH GUILT
SO HE POURED ANOTHER WHISKY HE’D SHED NO TEARS FOR SPILLING MILK.

WHERE DO THE YEARS GO, TWELVE MONTHS PASSING IN A DAY
HE SANG HIS SONGS FOR EVERYONE
SAYING THE THINGS THEY COULDN’T SAY
STORIES FOR THE BROKEN AND THE LOVER AND THE FOOL
STORIES OF A WORLD HE KNEW THEY DIDN’T TEACH IN SCHOOL

WHERE DID THE TIME GO IS THERE ANYBODY THERE
IF HE HAD ANOTHER SONG TO SING WOULD ANYBODY CARE

WHEN HIS BLUE JEAN FRIENDS ARE WORN OUT AND HIS SONGS NO LONGER PLAY
WILL HIS VALUE BE IN ANY DOUBT WILL THE CROWD STILL WANT TO STAY
WHEN ALL HIS BLUE JEAN FRIENDS FADE AWAY

TIME GOES BY SO QUICKLY IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
NOT EVERY MAN HAS REALLY LIVED BUT EVERY MAN WILL DIE
SHOULD HE WRITE ANOTHER SONG BUT MAKE IT NOT SO SAD
AND TELL THE WORLD BEFORE HE GOES OF THE GREAT LIFE HE ONCE HAD

WHERE DO THE YEARS GO SO MANY PEOPLE MISSING
IF HE HAD ANOTHER SONG TO SING WOULD ANYBODY LISTEN

WHEN HIS BLUE JEAN FRIENDS ARE WORN OUT
AND HIS SONGS NO LONGER PLAY
WILL HIS VALUE BE IN ANY DOUBT
WILL THE CROWD STILL WANT TO STAY
WHEN HIS BLUE JEAN FRIENDS FADE AWAY
WHEN ALL HIS BLUE JEAN FRIENDS.,..FADE AWAY

STICKS AND STONES

SHE THOUGHT ABOUT THE NIGHT THEY MET, THE FRUIT
WITHOUT THE PASSION THE LOCAL HEART- THROB
TOUGH AND LEAN THE LOOK, THE BUILD, THE FASHION
HE LIED TO HER AGAIN THAT NIGHT, BETRAYAL
TEARS, EXCUSES, A STRANGE NEW PERFUME FILLED THE
AIR AND PAIN THAT LEAVES NO BRUISES.

SHE SAID MY BABY PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHENEVER
WE’RE APART STICKS AND STONES WILL BREAK MY
BONES, BUT YOUR WORDS BREAK MY HEART, STICKS AND
STONES WILL BREAK MY BONES BUT YOUR WORDS BREAK MY HEART

WELL HE THOUGHT THAT HE COULD READ HER RIGHT
AND GET INSIDE HER HEAD, BUT SHE COULD READ
BETWEEN THE LIES AND HEAR WHAT WASN’T SAID,
WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN WE FISH AROUND FOR
EXCUSES IN THE DARK
NEVER GETTING DOWN TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER
OR THE MATTERS OF THE HEART

HE WONDERED WHAT’S BEHIND HER FRONTS
BUT SHE COULD HEAR HIM THINKING, HE SPENT HIS
WHOLE LIFE FLOATING ROUND
WHILE HER BROKEN HEART WAS SINKING

AND SHE SAID BABY PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHENEVER
WE’RE APART STICKS AND STONES WILL BREAK MY
BONES, BUT YOUR WORDS BREAK MY HEART, STICKS
AND STONES WILL BREAK MY BONES BUT YOUR WORDS BREAK MY HEART
AND BABY PLEASE REMEMBER EVERY TIME WE START
STICKS AND STONES WILL BREAK MY BONES BUT
YOUR WORDS BREAK MY HEART,
STICKS AND STONES WILL BREAK MY BONES BUT
YOUR WORDS BREAK MY HEART

ALL ABOUT YOU

I DON’T UNDERSTAND
SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND
AND ALL OVER THE WORLD PEOPLE ARE DYING
BUT YOU WILL DO WHAT YOU DO, TELL EVERYBODY THAT THE VICTIM IS YOU
IT’S A PART THAT YOU PLAY WITHOUT EVEN TRYING
YOU GO BACK TO SOMEONE. WHO THINKS THAT YOU CARE
BUT YOU BETTER LIGHT A CANDLE
BECAUSE THEY’RE NO LONGER THERE.

NO GRANDFATHERS SMILE, NO GRANDMA’S “SIT WITH ME CHILD”
NO WALK DOWN THE AISLE NO FATHER STANDING
AND DID YOU DO WHAT YOU DO, DID YOU MAKE IT ALL ABOUT YOU
SO MANY LIVES YOU HAD YOUR HAND IN

WITH YOUR LIKE MINDED PEOPLE ALL PRETENDING TO CARE
BUT YOU BETTER LIGHT A CANDLE BECAUSE SOON THEY WON’T BE THERE

NOW THOSE LIKE MINDED PEOPLE HAVE STOPPED PRETENDING TO CARE AND THERES A 100 MILLION CANDLES
BUT YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE WHO’S THERE

BUT YOU’LL DO WHAT YOU DO, YOU WILL MAKE IT ALL ABOUT YOU
WHILE ALL OVER THE WORLD PEOPLE ARE DYING

YOU DON’T KNOW JACK

I WAS SITTING AT THE BAR JUST STARING AT MY GLASS
CONSIDERING A REFILL AND WHAT HAD COME TO PASS
I DIDN’T NEED A DRINK TO CRY IN NOW I’VE MADE A BED TO LIE IN
AND HER MEMORY WAS FADING FAR TOO FAST

SO POUR ME ANOTHER JOHN DANIELS ON THE ROCKS
IN FACT YOU BETTER MAKE THAT ONE A DOUBLE
SHE SMILED AND SAID I’M HAPPY TO BE SERVING YOU TONIGHT
AND I SURE DON’T WANT TO CAUSE YOU ANY TROUBLE

BUT THIS BAR HAS BEEN THE HARDEST ONE I’VE EVER HAD TO WORK
BECAUSE THE BOSS MAN HERE IS ALWAYS ON MY BACK
AND I THINK YOU ARE MISTAKEN BECAUSE I’VE HEARD HIS NAME IN SONGS
SO IT SOUNDS TO ME YOU REALLY DON’T KNOW JACK

WELL I SMILED AND SAID I KNEW WHERE SHE WAS COMING FROM
AND IF YOU’VE GOT THE TIME TO LISTEN I’LL EXPLAIN
IT’S JUST I’VE KNOWN HIM FOR SO LONG I DIDN’T LISTEN TO THOSE SONGS
AND I GOT TO KNOW HIM BY ANOTHER NAME

MR DANIELS AND I HAVE KNOW EACH OTHER PROBABLY FAR TOO WELL
WE USED TO GET SO HIGH , FOR FAR TOO LONG
SO WHEN YOU KNOW HIM AS WELL AS I DO YOU DON'T NEED TO SING NO SONG
AND YOU HAVEN’T GOT TO CALL HIM JACK…….
BUT YOU GET TO CALL HIM JOHN.

HE LAUGHED AND SAID I’LL JOIN YOU WHEN I’M DONE IF YOU DON’T MIND
I SURE COULD USE SOME COMPANY IF YOU COULD
YOUR TALE OF MR DANIELS MAKES ME THINK ABOUT MY LIFE
AND THE NAMES I’M CALLED WHEN I AIN’T DOING SO GOOD

DRINKER, DANCER, SINGER, LOVER, WAITRESS, BARMAID, COOK
IN EVERY TOWN I'VE BEEN CALLED A DIFFERENT NAME
AND I SHOULD NEVER JUDGE A LOVER BY A GOOD LOOKING COVER
BECAUSE THE STORY ALWAYS TURNED OUT JUST THE SAME.

YOU SEE I STAYED WITH MR DANIELS AND HE HELPED ME FOR A WHILE
BUT I NEW HIM JUST AS JACK LIKE IN THE SONG
AND I’M GLAD HE LEFT LIKE ALL THE REST AND I DIDN’T GET THAT CHANCE
TO KNOW HIM WELL ENOUGH TO CALL HIM JOHN.

AND AS I LOOKED AT THAT BLACK LABEL AND I GOT UP FROM THE TABLE
AND I RAISED MY EMPTY GLASS TO ABSENT FRIENDS
HERE’S A TOAST TO JACK AND JOHN AND THIS ROAD THAT WE’VE BEEN ON
BUT RIGHT HERE BOYS IS WHERE THIS JOURNEY ENDS.

MR DANIELS AND I HAVE KNOW EACH OTHER PROBABLY FAR TOO WELL
WE USED TO GET SO HIGH FOR FAR TOO LONG
SO WHEN YOU KNOW HIM AS WELL AS I DO YOU DON'T NEED TO SING NO SONG
YOU HAVEN’T GOT TO CALL HIM JACK………
BUT YOU GET TO CALL HIM JOHN.

YES MR DANIELS AND I HAVE KNOW EACH OTHER PROBABLY FAR TOO WELL
WE USED TO GET SO HIGH FOR FAR TOO LONG
BUT I KNOW IF I SHOULD MEET HIM I COULD LOOK HIM IN THE EYE
AND SMILE AND SAY …”GOOD TO SEE YOU’…JOHN”

SONG FOR YOU

IF IT WASN’T FOR THE FACT THAT I DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY, I WOULD BUY THE WORLD AND GIVE IT ALL TO YOU,
I KNOW THAT YOU STILL FIND THAT KIND OF FUNNY, BUT DEEP WITHIN MY HEART I ALWAYS KNEW
THAT EVERY TIME I TRY TO STOP THESE FEELINGS, I KNOW YOUR HEART IS CALLING OUT MY NAME
YOU TAKE AWAY MY PAIN AND START THE HEALING AND LEAD ME FROM MY ANGER AND MY SHAME

AND THEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME AND I CAN FEEL IT IN YOUR KISS
I CAN TELL THE WAY YOU HOLD SO TIGHT THAT YOU NEED A LOVE LIKE THIS.

I KNEW IT FROM THE MOMENT THAT I SAW YOU, THE HUNGER AND THE SORROW
IN YOUR EYES, YOU TOOK MY HEART AS IF IT WERE PART OF YOU, TO HELP YOU FIND THE TRUTH BEYOND THE LIES
SO MANY TIMES YOU TOLD ME HOW YOU NEED ME AND HOW YOU NEVER FELT THIS WAY BEFORE
BUT EVERY TIME YOU LEFT MY HEART WAS BREAKING UNTIL THE DAY YOU WALKED BACK THROUGH MY DOOR

AND THEN YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU LOVED ME AND I COULD FEEL IT IN YOUR KISS
I COULD TELL THE WAY YOU HELD SO TIGHT THAT YOU NEED A LOVE LIKE THIS.

TO BE STILL IS WHAT HE TAUGHT ME LIKE THE DUST UPON THE SHELF
AND I THANK THE LORD YOU CAUGHT ME WHEN YOU SAVED ME FROM MYSELF

AND THEN YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU LOVED ME AND I COULD FEEL IT IN YOUR KISS
I COULD TELL THE WAY YOU HELD SO TIGHT THAT YOU NEED A LOVE LIKE THIS.

ANOTHER HIGHWAY

EVERY TIME I LOOK IN YOUR EYES IT TAKES ME BACK TO WHERE I CAME FROM
SOMEWHERE IN THE BACK OF MY MIND I HEAR A VOICE THATS CALLING ME HOME

I WAS LOOKING FOR THE HIGHWAY I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN FROM THE
START, BUT I KNOW IF I STAY ITS A VERY LONG WAY FROM MY HEAD BACK TO YOUR HEART

LIVING IN THE HEART OF THE STREETS, I FOUND MY WAY BACK TO THE STREETS OF YOUR HEART
AND I HOPED IF WE SHOULD MEET THAT WE COULD TALK AND NOT JUST SPEAK AND MAKE A NEW START

YOU WERE LOOKING FOR THE HIGHWAY YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN FROM THE START,
BUT YOU KNOW IF YOU STAY ITS A VERY LONG WAY FROM YOUR HEAD BACK TO MY HEART

DON’T YOU GIVE UP THIS FIGHT OUR LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER
PAIN LASTS FOR A MOMENT DARLIN….BUT GIVING UP WILL LAST. FOREVER

SO WILL YOU TALK WITH ME A WHILE UNTIL THE SUN COMES UP AGAIN ON A NEW TOMORROW
AND IF WE WALK THAT EXTRA MILE WE WILL FIND A ROAD TO LEAD US FROM THIS SORROW

WE’LL BE WALKING ON THAT HIGHWAY WE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN AT THE START
BUT NOW WE KNOW IF WE STAY WE WILL FIND THE WAY FROM OUR HEADS BACK TO OUR HEARTS

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

THERES A CANDLE ON THE TABLE FOR THE ONE WHO SLIPPED AWAY
AND I CRY WHEN I AM ABLE BUT THE WORLD GETS IN THE WAY

I HEAR YOU CALLING IN THE WIND AND RAIN, I HEAR YOUR LAUGHTER EVERYWHERE
YOUR PERFUME FILLS THE AIR EACH NIGHT, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU’RE NOT THERE

YOU WERE MY LOVER AND YOU WERE MY FRIEND
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.

OUTSIDE THE SNOW IS FALLING, PEACE ON EARTH TO VERY MAN
AND OUR FRIENDS THEY KEEP ON CALLING
I KNOW THEIR DOING THE BEST THEY CAN
THEIR CARDS AND GIFTS UN-OPENED NOW YOU’RE NOT THERE TO HOLD MY HAND
ALL I WANTED WAS YOUR PRESENCE, BUT THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND

THAT YOU WERE MY LOVER AND YOU WERE MY FRIEND
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
YES YOU WERE MY LOVER AND YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.

THERES A CANDLE ON THE TABLE FOR THE ONE WHO SLIPPED AWAY
AND I CRY WHEN I AM ABLE BUT THE WORLD GETS IN THE WAY

IN HIS EYES

I MET A MAN LAST FRIDAY A KILLER I’D BEEN TOLD
THEY SAID THAT HE WAS TROUBLED BY THE STORIES HE’D BEEN SOLD
WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE FUTURE THE CONVERSATION DIED
AND FOR JUST ONE FLEETING MOMENT I SAW A KINDNESS IN HIS EYES

HE HAD THE FACE OF CITY THUNDER AND A HURTING DEEP INSIDE
A LOST AND WOUNDED LION STILL SEARCHING FOR HIS PRIDE
HE SAID THE CITY’S JUST A PRISON WITH A DIFFERENT KIND OF BARS
YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE SEEN THE MOON BUT ONLY REACHED THE SCARS

HE SAID YOU BUY IN TO THE SYSTEM WHERE THE SYSTEM LETS YOU DWELL
SO HE BOUGHT A CHUNK OF HARDNESS THE KIND THAT PRISONS SELL
AND HE SAID THAT SHE’D BEEN FAITHFUL AS FIFTEEN YEARS WENT BY
BUT FOR JUST ONE FLEETING MOMENT I SAW THE SADNESS IN HIS EYES

AND HE HAD A REPUTATION THAT EVEN I HAD HEARD,
HE COULD DISTURB. THE COMFORTABLE AND COMFORT THE DISTURBED
BUT DEEP INSIDE THIS FIGHTING MAN I KNOW I MET THE WISE
AND FOR JUST ONE FLEETING MOMENT I SAW THE SON RISE IN HIS EYES

AND WHEN WE FINISHED TALKING HE SHOOK ME BY THE HAND
HE SAID YOU DIDN’T JUDGE ME AND I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND

I MET A MAN LAST FRIDAY A KILLER I’D BEEN TOLD
I COULD SEE THAT HE WAS TROUBLED BY THE LIES THAT HE’D BEEN SOLD

BUT WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT HIS CHILDREN AND THE LOVE HE TRIED TO HIDE
FOR JUST ONE FLEETING MOMENT I SAW A FUTURE IN HIS EYES.

TELL ME WHY

TELL ME WHY, YOU THOUGHT THERE’S NOTHING LEFT FOR YOU TO HOLD ON TO
TELL ME WHY, YOU COULDN’T SAY WHAT YOU WERE GOING THROUGH

THE FATHER THAT I NEVER KNEW AND I STILL WONDER WHY
SO TELL ME WHY YOU DIDN’T SAY GOODBYE

IT MAKES ME CRY WHEN I THINK OF ALL THE THINGS THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE
IT MAKES ME CRY, TO SEE A YOUNG BOY GROW INTO HIS FATHER’S SON

THE FATHER I WILL NEVER KNOW AND I STILL WONDER WHY
SO TELL ME WHY YOU COULDN’T SAY GOODBYE

I CAN’T BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WERE GOING THROUGH
I WISH I COULD HAVE HELD YOUR HAND
AND WALKED THROUGH LIFE WITH YOU.

IT MAKES ME CRY WHEN I THINK OF ALL THE THINGS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE DONE
IT MAKES ME CRY BECAUSE YOU COULDN’T FIND A REASON TO HOLD YOUR SON

THE FATHER I WILL NEVER KNOW AND I STILL WONDER WHY
SO TELL ME WHY, A YOUNG MAN WANTS TO DIE
JUST TELL ME WHY A YOUNG MAN HAD TO DIE

COVERS

YESTERDAY SOME NOWHERE MAN GETS BACK TO ME
SAYS I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND ON THIS LONG AND WINDING ROAD
AND I SAID HEY MAN OKIEDOKIE, BUT I AIN’T NO KARAOKE
WE CAN WORK IT OUT BUT I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

I DON'T DO COVERS I DON’T PLAY THE SONGS OF OTHERS, I JUST SING M
SONGS AND I WONT GIVE THEIRS A BASH
BEFORE YOU MAKE ME WALK THAT LINE, LET ME PLAY YOU ONE
OF MINE, BECAUSE KRIS AND JOHNNY SURE DON’T NEED THE CASH

MY SUSPICIOUS MIND COULD SEE HER LYING EYES MY PEACEFUL EASY FEELING ALREADY GONE
SHE SAID MY NAMES SWEET CAROLINE AND ALL MY FRIENDS THINK I SING FINE
BUT THERE WAS BREAKING GLASS EACH TIME SHE SANG THOSE SONGS

THATS WHY I DON'T DO COVERS I DON’T PLAY THE SONGS OF OTHERS, I JUST SING MY SONGS AND I WONT GIVE THEIRS A BASH
BEFORE YOU MAKE ME WALK THAT LINE, LET ME PLAY YOU ONE OF MINE, BECAUSE GARTH AND JOHNNY SURE DON’T NEED THE CASH

THEY WANNA HEAR VENTURA HIGHWAY BUT THERE’S A SOUND OF SILENCE WHEN YOU’RE LIVING ON A PRAYER
THEN IT’S FRANKIE DID IT MY WAY FRANKLY BOY I JUST DON’T CARE

ONE OF THESE NIGHTS I’LL TAKE IT EASY, I’ll LEARN SOME SONGS AND GO AND PLAY THAT SHOW, BUT IF I SLIP IN ONE OF MINE THE BOSS MAN WOULD CALL TIME AND SAY YOU BETTER PLAY SOME SONGS THAT WE ALL KNOW

THAT’S WHY I DON'T DO COVERS I DON’T PLAY THE SONGS OF OTHERS, IF YOU WANT THEIR SONGS I’M GONNA HAVE TO PASS
BEFORE YOU MAKE ME WALK THAT LINE, LET ME PLAY YOU ONE OF MINE, BECAUSE BOB AND JOHNNY SURE DON’T NEED THE CASH

BEFORE YOU MAKE ME WALK THAT LINE LET ME PLAY YOU ONE OF MINE BECAUSE GARTH AND KRIS AND BOB AND WILLIE AND WAYLON… AND JOHNNY SURE DON’T NEED THE CASH

ONE MORE CHANCE

AN OLD MAN DRESSED IN ARMY GREENS BUT HE WAS ONLY THIRTY FIVE
DRINKING WINE TO NUMB THE THINGS HE’D SEEN JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE
HE ASKED ME FOR SOME MONEY BUT I OFFERED HIM A MEAL
WHEN I SAID THAT I COULD STAY AND TALK AND HE SAID YOU HAVE A DEAL
MOST DAYS I SPEND WALKING, WELL THE DAYS THAT I CAN STAND
I LEARNED TO THINK FAST ON MY FEET WHEN MY MOUTH GETS OUT OF HAND
AND THERES A GOD SIZED HOLE IN MY LIFE THAT JUST NEVER GOES AWAY
BUT EVERY MORNING IF I WAKE UP I BOW MY HEAD AND PRAY

THE DAY THAT I ENLISTED SHE SAID SHE’D NEVER UNDERSTAND
WHY A MAN WOULD LEAVE HIS FAMILY TO SAVE SOME OTHER FAMILIES LAND
GOD KNOWS YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN AND I KNOW YOU REALLY CARE
BUT I JUST NEEDED SOMEONE ON THE COLD NIGHTS YOU WEREN’T THERE
AND A MAN WILL FIGHT FOR FAMILY FAITH AND FREEDOM
FOR LOVE AND FEAR AND SOMETIMES JUST FOR WEALTH
BUT THE TOUGHEST FIGHT A MAN WILL FACE AS HE BATTLES THROUGH THI
LIFE IS THE FIGHT EACH DAY HE’LL HAVE AGAINST HIMSELF

AND THERES A GOD SIZED HOLE IN MY LIFE THAT JUST GETS BIGGER EVERY DAY
BUT TOMORROW IF I WAKE UP I WILL BOW MY HEAD AND PRAY

LORD IF YOU’RE UP THERE AND YOU HEAR THIS SINNER’S CALL
THEN I SURE COULD USE A MIRACLE IN MY LIFE
PLEASE TURN THIS WINE BACK IN TO WATER, BRING ME BACK MY SON
AND DAUGHTER AND GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE TO LOVE MY WIFE
PLEASE TURN THIS WINE BACK IN TO WATER BRING ME BACK MY SON
AND DAUGHTER AND GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE TO LOVE MY WIFE

I LOVE YOU

LOOKING BACK IN TIME AT ALL THE WORDS THAT DIDN’T RHYME
TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER LINE TO SAY I LOVE YOU
SO I WRITE ANOTHER SONG ABOUT THE WAYS I GOT IT WRONG
BUT ANOTHER CHANCE IS GONE TO SAY I LOVE YOU

I LOVE YOU GIRL I LOVE YOU, THERES NOTHING ELSE I WANT TO SAY
I LOVE YOU YES I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU MORE AND MORE EACH DAY

SO I WRITE A SONG FOR YOU ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOU DO
BUT ITS STILL NOT TELLING YOU THAT I LOVE YOU.
THEN I WRITE ABOUT YOUR KISS BUT ITS SO MUCH MORE THAN THIS
MAN….JUST TELL IT LIKE IT IS …AND SAY I LOVE YOU.

SOMETIMES WORDS JUST COME SO EASY SOMETIMES THEY HIDE THEMSELVES AWAY
BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MANY MEANINGS, WE’RE NOT SAYING WHAT WE SAY

I LOVE YOU GIRL I LOVE YOU, NOTHING ELSE I NEED TO SAY
BUT I LOVE YOU YES I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU MORE AND MORE
EACH DAY

LOOKING BACK IN TIME AND ALL THE WORDS THAT DIDN’T RHYME
TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER LINE
TO SAY I LOVE YOU.
