lay them down

-
all your cares, all your troubles
What you bring to the table
Leave them here, lay them down


the expectations of others
Their demands for your comfort
Leave them here, lay them down
lay them down, let them go
I've been wanting you to know
You have found arms that are safe
All your hopes, all your dreams
All those "wish it were true" things
Leave them here, lay them down

Stories you have always told
Memories that you can't let go
Leave them here, lay them down
lay them down, let them go
I've been wanting you to know
You have found arms that are safe

Not gonna count on you to be my everything. But I'm going to love you with a love that's full and free. Wanna know what I can do for you, Not what you're -- What you're gonna do for me" God-like Yeah, that's right I saw love that's just lik...

nothing's too hard

I've gathered lots of stuff Piled it high in my garage Way more than enough And yet I am piling it high I can give you lots of things Try to keep you satisfied With bangles and rings It's not like I haven't tried But I'll give it all away Give it all away for you It's not too high a price to pay Just to stay with you Nothing's too hard Too tough to try out and see If I can capture your heart And keep it with me I've been around the globe places everybody wants to see I'm either platinum or gold On every single airline We could go there once again take you for the very first time But the times worth remembering are when your hand was in mine But I'll give it all away Give it all away for you It's not too high a price to pay Just to stay with you Nothing's too hard Too tough to try out and see If I can capture your heart And keep it with me Let me tell you on the phone Let me say it to your face Tell you what I hope you know and remember for a ...
