Life: Here & Now II

momma said that she loved me when she tucked me into bed she sang me songs about Jesus planted seeds of faith in my head momma said don't be charmed by the bounce of golden curls said her boy wasn't meant to settle for just any girl my momma told me you'd come along some day said if I was patient, I'd know right away that love had come, and come to stay momma told me, told me about you momma said things that don't last might not be real to begin said I should know the difference before I decide who to run with momma said I could live at peace as much as it depends on me said I would discover love as long as I let it discover me my momma told me you'd come along some day said if I was patient, I'd know right away that love had come, and come to stay momma told me, told me about you momma said I should try to learn...

When it comes to you, I'm a little slow; thought my charm made up for sense I lack. And sure it took me a little while To figure you weren't comin back. But did you have to pull a fast one? Slowly slip away so i wouldn't see? I admit I didn't see it coming That day you walked out on me. When I said I was sorry, Did you have to agree? When you said "see ya tomorrow" Did you know you were leaving me? Was all this so confusing? Was it too hard to figure out? Forget the rest -- I'm gonna give it a rest Soon I'll be forgettin you When we started out, it was sweet -- It felt like we were such long-time friends The kind we've known since we were just kids And you asked me where I had been. And you were such the spittin image Of a dream I have always had And the way that you always held my hand... I never dreamed you could leave me like that When I said I was sorry, Did you have to agree? When you said "see ya tomorrow" Did you know you were lea...

Just a child running free and wild breeze blowing through her hair makes new friends dad puts it to an end says, "you'd better stay 'way from there" heart's on fire it's a heavenly desire to know God and all He's made but she can't lock in to what she's feeling within cos it makes everyone else afraid Hidden to the world, hidden to yourself But not hidden from me or anyone else who loves you at least as much as I do. Coverin it up, keep it all in -- Try as you will, it's not workin The beauty inside just keeps coming through like a magnet they all forget what they're doin when she walks in in her face wisdom and grace but he's actin like it's a sin "don't do that" "wear a burlap sack" "don't draw attention to yourself" listen to me set yourself free a little more love will help Hidden to the world, hidden to yourself But not hidden from me or anyone else who loves you at least as much as I do.

been thinking here inside my brain how life goes on without a change unless we make some things go new directions stumbling blocks and slippery slopes keep us up against the ropes dazzled by our own imperfections so we start reaching out for something new something to see, something to do just to find out if we're really able though it starts out bein kinda fun nothin's really new under this sun till we discover what never was a fable no, it's just not the same it's a different kind of thing it's something that's never happened before ever since you came my heart's been re-arranged and you walked me through an open door no, it's just not the same it's a never-ending love full of choice a brand new song for this tired old voice it's a hug on a lazy, gotta-get-up day it's sweet sweet sentence whispered in my ear it's a vague notion made suddenly clear because I know just how much you love me no, it's just not the same it's a differe...

She walked right in and started to put the moves on I'm thinkin in my head, hey i like those moves, hun (She's got the move on yeah and it's really fun) She's just the kind of girl that can take my breath away Make my brain go numb, make me forget what to say When she gets her moves on Hey get the move on Get the move on If I don't get up and out of this chair She might be outa here before I get anywhere My chances with her might be long gone Hey, boy, get the move on Well I got up, made my move right then and there walked over to her table, pulled myself right up by her chair and put the move on yeah, ain't I the bold one? Dazzled by her eyes, charmed by that crazy yellow hair Didn't take long to realize we'd make a perfect pair if we'd get the move on Hey get the move on Get the move on If I don't get up and get out of this chair She might be outa here before I get anywhere My chance with her might be long gone Hey, boy, get the move on Now she...

I reached out this morning to finger your hair and remembered again that you're not here your pillow still fluffed and cool through the night there's a warm spot on the sheet where the dog has curled but this bed and my life are empty without you, girl I wish I could say everything is gonna be alright But the first day without you is breathing on the ocean floor The first day without you makes me doubt I can take one more The first day I can't find you, but your memory is everywhere - The first day without you is one more than I can bear As I open the shades to see the sun rise I remember stayin in bed just to watch your eyes flutter open up with a stretch and a yawn It's that look I'll never be able to forget You saying you're a mess and yet You were growing more beautiful with each dawn But the first day without you leaves me without reason or hope. The first day without you leaves no doubt -- I can't cope. The first day I can't find you, but I'm...

the problem with livin on a cul de sac is that all my problems always circle back and find me once again when i thought it was the end and i could be free
