of a prayer nailed to a door."

But it can't sing and dance
And it can't walk
As long as I can have you

I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans."

Billie Joel Don't go changing, to try
and please me,
I would not leave you, in
times of trouble,
Don't go trying, some new
fashion,

I need to know that you will
always be
I said I love you, and that's
forever,
I don't want clever, conversation,

(Danielle Peck) . I might not have a million dollars in the bank But I've got food on my table and gas in my tank I might not have designer sheets on a king size bed But I lay down at night with a roof over my head I've got friends who love
me
Isn't that everything
Now I'm not saying I don't
dream from time to time
I know Jesus loves me
Isn't that everything

His ego would bend
They were two hearts tuned
together
They explored each landscape
Both lovers and friends
Learning the art of love

Michael Franks Keep believing you soon will
earn your turn to flash in the pan
Think it's time to make my
exit
Look at me I'm a refugee
from the island life
Guess it must be clear I
do not belong in this cityscape
Look at me I'm a refugee
from the island life
Can't you see we're just
refugees from the island life

John Michael Montgomery . Close your eyes, can you see me? Rollin' down the Rocky Mountains, Movin' like the wind that sweeps the Kansas plains. I know you're with me, As I make my way through Oklahoma, Past the barns and weather vanes. There are motels, cafes, mills, and billboard signs. A thousand miles of highway, Between your heart and mine. There will finally come a
moment,
I'll take you in my arms
again.
In my soul, I can feel you,
There will finally come a
moment,
|

heart
When they start talkin'

Whenever you are feeling
some curse

lost at sea

Over open conversation

seasons will change,
You will always be beautiful
in my eyes.
When there are lines upon
my face that form a lifetime of smiles,

a picture
You would see I've always
loved you
Tell me, what is the

And though many may
try to keep us apart
Oh what is the colour of love |

Tracy Byrd It was no accident me finding
you.
Now I just can't believe
you're in my life.
I tip my hat to the keeper
of the stars.
I hold everything,
Soft moonlight on your face,
I know I don't deserve a
treasure like you.
So I tip my hat to the keeper
of the stars.
I hold everything,
It was no accident me finding
you.

the risk
And we can drive away

your face
The first time ever I kissed
your mouth
The first time ever I lay
with you
The first time ever I saw
your face

James Taylor There ain't no melody
Well, I'm a man of few words
There ain't no song in the

pack it on up

And when I'm returning from
so far away
