Having The Time of My Life
Having The Time of My Life
Now's the time
To savor the morning at sunrise
To put the top down for a long drive
Every moment, let's celebrate
Our love
And look for new ways to make music
'Cause life is too short for excuses
Let's start now so we can say
We're having the time of our lives
Having the time of our lives
We're singing the song and dancing the dance
We're doing it together baby
Ain't no time better than now
Having the time of our lives
Every new day
Let's never take our love for granted
Let's water the seed that we planted
Watch it grow, keep love alive by
Chorus
Make love in the moonlight
Take a swim at midnight
Sleep together hand in hand
Wake up loving life
So happy that you're my man
Chorus
All your life been living there
Under a dark cloud
Waiting for someone to
Make it better somehow
You don't see what I see in you
I see the light shine through your eyes
So take a look inside - cause baby
The sun shines for you
When you're hurting and you're lonely
The light will see you through
Even when the rain is falling
You've got everything you need
Right there inside
The sun shines for you, shines for you
Life has had its ups and downs
It's been a rocky road
And there've been times, I've been there too
Life can be such a heavy load
I've seen you through both the good and bad
I know you've got just what it takes
So when your skies turn grey - remember
Chorus
You don't realize that
You're the one I always turn to
And you light the way
Chorus
My mind keeps trying to talk me out of loving you
It says don't cross the line
'Cause you've been my friend forever
And the thought of something more had never crossed my mind
But when you called today to see how I have been
You spoke so tenderly
The way you said my name sent shivers down my spine
It's now or never, I can see
I'm wasting precious time (to fall in love)
It's time to speak my mind (Get my courage up)
So what I need to do
Is Surrender to loving you
(I didn't want to love you but I do)
I want to feel your fingers running through my hair
And then caress my skin
I can't resist the feeling so please take me
'Cause my heart is beating, why pretend
Chorus
All our times together
And I just didn't see
Your arms were wide open
Waiting patiently
Chorus
Another lonely city night
Been living from a suitcase far away from home
I thought I needed time
To be out on my own
But now my heart has changed my mind
I want to come home
Now my heart has realized
The world without you here with me
Is a lonely place to be
I thought I had to make a choice
I'd always planned to be a woman of the world
But when I hear your voice
Just want to be your girl
So now my heart has changed my mind
I want to come home
Now my heart has realized
The world without you here with me
Is a lonely place to be
Drove right through the stop sign
On my way home today
Then spent three hours staring at the ceiling
Searching for the right words to say
I forgot my own number
I couldn't call my machine
Anticipating hearing your voice
Something's got a hold on me
It feels like the summer breeze at night
And sings like the sparrows when
The dawn is kissed by the sun
That's how I know this is love, that's how I know
Heaven knew this day would come
Our love was part of the plan
Because the sun smiled down on us
And led you to where I am
When we're together the world drifts away
And we're sailing on a cloud-less sea
The moonlight dances with the stars
In a dream made for you and me
Chorus
It whispers so gently, so tenderly
It lingers like lavender around me
Remember when we were young lovers
We didn't need much, always had enough
Never worried about tomorrow
As long as we had love
But years go by and something changes
Forgot all the chances we were meant to take
Somehow the light in our eyes faded
But it's not too late, 'cause baby
This is the time to live our lives
And learn to love every minute, like we once did
Be starry-eyed lovers, with life to discover
'Cause baby, this is the time
This is time to see the sunrise
Together find sea shells buried in the sand
Then stay up all night, talking, laughing
Fall in love again
Chorus
Let's throw our troubles to the wind
Steal a kiss, hold hands, be kids again
Take a chance on love forever, together
I want to live it with you
Been sitting here waiting, it's half past nine
But he still hasn't called on the phone
Dinner is cold and I drank all the wine
But something tells me he's on his way
And deep inside I've got to keep the faith in love
Not even gonna worry
Or Carry on or fuss or fight
Or waste a single second
'Cause when I have him by my side
Nothing can break us
'Cause our love is stronger than the little things
He brings me flowers if he's late
And always smiles when I walk in the room
He holds my hand when we're out on a date
I trust in him and he trusts in me
So if we have a problem and disagree, I know
Not even gonna worry
Or Carry on or fuss or fight
Or waste a single second
'Cause when I have him by my side
Nothing can break us
'Cause our love is stronger with all the little things
And what really matters after all?
I know all we've got is love
I'd given up hope, thought I'd blown my chance for happiness
And I forgot what really mattered in myself
Between a rock and a hard place,
That's where I was
But something inside said don't stop trying, give it time
Where's there's a will there's a way, trust in what's inside
And suddenly my heart knew
Just what to do
Now I'm taking time alone
To finally take back who I am
A little voice inside me says:
"Whatever you can dream, you'll be it"
"If you believe"
Starting to live my life with feeling from my heart
Starting to have a little faith in myself to reach for the stars
I know I'm gonna make it
I know what to do
Yesterday
Came and went without much to say
Holding on to silence
Putting walls between our hearts
Back to back in the darkness
A year from now
Will we remember what this is about
All the little hurts
Don't measure up to our love
What we've got is more important
'Cause you are the sun and I am the moon
Together our love lights the world
And love is all that matters
So let it shine
Open up your heart, say what's on your mind
It will only make us stronger
I know we can work it out
I'll always be here beside you
Chorus
Let's not waste a single second
On who's wrong and who's right
Put the little things behind us
'Cause what we've got reaches the sky
On the outside I was smiling
I was strong, or just pretending to be
Locked away my tender emotions
I forgot the deepest part of me
Till you set me free
The woman in me is lost in your love
The woman in me longs for your touch
I'm remembering who I want to be
You bring out the woman in me
Come lay beside me, hold me close
Whisper words that make me melt in your arms
Your love has taught me how to surrender
So carry me to the place in your heart
Where you are because
Chorus
Now I don't wanna hold nothing back
I want to give you all the love I have
I'll never let go of your sweet love
I'm yours forever
Been wishing on a star
Waiting for your one big chance
To make you who you want to be
Hoping you'll get far
But hope alone won't unlock the door
To all your dreams
It's all up to you
You know what to do to make it happen
Put your heart and soul in it
Best and your all in it now
Your life is waiting
Take one step farther
Work a little harder
This time, you'll be unstoppable
Heaven is in your reach
So take a look, 'cause the sun and moon
And stars are all inside of you
Everything you see
Will brighten up, so let your light shine
There's nothing you can't do
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Tomorrow will be a day too late
And yesterday is over and done
Today is the one to make it happen
As I Am
Round and round and round we go
We play the game and say that we're just friends
You're afraid to let your feelings show
And I'm afraid to give love a chance again
But when we say goodbye
You pull me close and hold me tight
If there's something you're not saying
It's time to let me know
So shout your love out loud for the world to hear
Three words can change our lives forever
We'll be together in just three words
Been holding back on how I feel
It's harder everyday no to cross that line
I've got to get my courage up
Don't want to lose you or waste more precious time
Can't play this masquerade
Or deny the truth one more day
I've got to admit that we're more than just friends
Chorus
"I Love You", the sweetest words I could ever hear, or ever say
They make the stars shine brighter, our hearts a little lighter
And make the sun shine today
Chorus
I wasted so much time falling
In and out of love
Chasing the wrong kind of man,
I was feeling that I was never enough
But this time I'm wiser
I've learned the hard way
Now love lifts me higher
And never takes away from who I am
Cause I finally found the love of my life
Just when I thought my chances were over
He walked in
He stood by my side and lended a shoulder
Now I can breathe again
True love, I discovered
Is there through highs and lows
He's my friend and my lover
Now our life begins and we've settled down
Cause I finally found the love of my life
You're tired of trying, you're busted and broke
The voice in your head says you're too old
It's too late, at your age you won't get far
But in your heart
You've got a sweet passion
A love in your soul
A dream waiting to unfold
A sweet passion
to be all you are
So reach for the brightest star
And find your sweet passion
Life is funny, didn't go as you planned
But try to remember, it's not in your hands
When you want to give up and give in
Just try again
CHORUS
Life is much more than the things you do
What you feel down in your soul is what feeds you
CHORUS
All my girlfriends say there ain't no perfect man
They say just settle down, and I should take what I can
But I won't, no no
I'm holding out for the best
I won't settle for less
It ain't that I'm so picky or just can't be pleased
But when I was a girl my mama said
Anything's in my reach
If I could only believe
Cause I got the right
I got the right to kissin and huggin
The right to good good loving
The right to not be lonely at night
I got the right like every woman
To find true love in
A man who'll stand by my side
I got the right
I know they think I'm crazy and set my sights too high
But I'll just keep on searching till I'm satisfied
Cause I know
He's worth waiting for
I want it all and more
CHORUS
There's a man out there
Looking everywhere
For this girl to make his dreams come true
He's got the right too
CHORUS
I've been scared, I've been broken
My worries became lines on my face
I've broken hearts and never said goodbye
Just turned and walked without explaining why
I've done my share of hurting and placing blame
Of lying, then feeling shame
The truth, so hard to face
So now it's time to make a change
I'll take me as I am
All my wrongs and all my heartaches
Have made me who I am today
The childhood tears, the grown-up fears
Were lessons learned along the way
So I can't keep on running and hiding from my shadow
The only one I'll ever know
Is here within my soul
So now it's time to make a change
I'll take me as I am
All the tears I cried
For my wrongs not made right
And opinions of myself
Made life a living hell
When I'm just doing the best I can
Now I'm ready to put the past behind me
To find the best inside me
Life is waiting for me
So now I'll make that change
And take me as I am
A mystery
Dangerous and carefree
The secrets of who you are
Are locked up in your heart
But when I look in your eyes
I see the love inside
I know there's so much more to you
Behind your eyes of blue
I want to know
That place deep in your soul
Let me walk with you in Paradise
There's birds of red and green
And plants and trees that reach up to the sky
In your Paradise
The sun and moon
I'd give them both to you
If you'd give our love a chance
And taste sweet romance
We can have the world and more
Just rest upon my shores
My kiss will be the ocean breeze
I am the love you need
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
There I was again
Standing with my heart in my hands
Wondering what went wrong tonight
All the times that I tried
But never seemed to get love right
Just pick up and move on to the next in line
But now, I know
Can't play the game the way I've played before
To find true love in my heart
I've got to give it away
(Give love to get love)
Been searching for love
Looked everywhere outside myself
I thought someone else could fill my need
But now I find
Love was with me all along
Just needed to look inside of me
The more I give
It seems the more that I receive
I let go and now
I finally believe
I've got to give it away
(Give love to get love)
Love is all around me
And as close as the air I breathe<
I never knew I had it this good
I've got to give it away
(Give love to get love)
Ashtray full of cigarettes
The clock says three a.m.
Those four walls keep staring down
You're missing him again
You gave up living when he closed that door
You spend every night alone
Without him the roof, the hall, the furniture
Just don't feel like home
But home's where the heart is
Home's all around you
Home is everywhere you want it to be
Home's in the kitchen
The bath, the bedroom
It's everywhere and in your soul
So you can find the place called home
When loneliness moved in this place
Your tears washed the floor
And the person that you used to be
You don't know anymore
It's not too late for a second chance
Your life deserves to live
It's not what you take from the world outside
But what you give
CHORUS
Your coffee's cold
And you're growing old
But there's still a hope in your soul to find
CHORUS
I'VE HAD SOME BAD DAYS
THIS TAKES THE CAKE
I'VE BEEN LIVIN' THE HARD WAY
HE TOOK ALL HE COULD TAKE
HE KICKED ME OUT AT 3 A.M.
WHISKEY ON MY BREATH
I COULDN'T TELL HIM WHERE I'D BEEN
THOUGHT HE'D FORGIVE AND FORGET
WHAT I'D GIVE TO COME BACK HOME
I'D GIVE ALL I HAVE:
MY MAMA'S RING, MY COWBOY BOOTS, MY LAST $50
LET ME COME BACK HOME
I WOKE UP ON A DIRT ROAD
MY CAR BROKEN DOWN
RED-EYED AND HUNGOVER
TRIED TO HITCH TO TOWN
CHORUS
BEEN WALKIN' FOR HOURS IN THIS HEAT
SO HOT, THERE'S RED CLAY STUCK TO MY FEET
I'LL TELL HIM I'LL CHANGE MY WAYS
'CAUSE I'VE HAD A HELL OF A DAY
THE THIEF AT THE AUTO SHOP
SAID I COULDN'T AFFORD
PUT ALL I HAD IN HOCK
SO I COULD TO FIX MY FORD
WHAT I GAVE TO COME BACK HOME
I GAVE ALL I HAD:
MY MAMA'S RING, MY COWBOY BOOTS, MY LAST $50
NOW CAN I COME BACK HOME
PLEASE LET ME COME BACK HOME
LET ME COME BACK HOME
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU TREAT ME SO BAD
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU TREAT ME SO BAD
CAUSE I'M SO DOWN-HEARTED BABY
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL I DID WRONG
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU TREAT ME SO BAD
CAUSE THIS HEART OF MINE
CAN'T TAKE ALL OF THIS PAIN
WONDRIN' WHY YOU LEFT ME
THIS HEART OF MINE
CAN'T STAND SITTIN' HERE ALONE WHEN I CRY
Ten long years have come and gone
I don't know why I stayed this long
I thought you'd change
But things stayed the same
One more night home at half-past two
And who's that woman calling for you
At 3:05
I thought that I would die
I know you better than you know yourself
When you're happy I know by the look in your eye
But when you look at the floor, I know
You lied (I've had all I can take)
I tried (But still my poor heart breaks)
I cried (So sad, but I'm walking away)
All these tears won't save you now
I'm tough (I'm a woman proud and strong)
I've had enough (Of all the times you did me wrong)
Your love (Ain't enough to keep me hanging on)
I'm sick of your lies, so I'm GONE
Some things just can't be worked out
I can't forget what this is all about
At 3:13
I got up and packed my things
It's too late for apologies
And a thousand "I'm Sorry's" on your knees
'Cause your eyes say I can't trust you anymore
Pre-Chorus/Chorus
I'll spend some time crying
And watch sad movies on the TV
But then I'll remember...
Chorus
Let's get a little sunshine and be together
Put the top down, take a ride
Let's get a little sunshine, nothing better
Than having you by my side
The cold world's got you down
Too much steel and concrete
Let's get away, let's get out of town
Go where there's white sand and blue sea
And where there's just you and me
Chorus
Let's spend time just holding hands
Remembering how our love feels
We'll spend the day laying in the sand
Kissing for the sweet thrill
With you I'm so fulfilled
Chorus
