Meanwhile

She sparkles, she dazzles
She lights up the room
We walk together to a table for two
Every man stares but her eyes are only for me
We take to the dance floor
She squeezes my hand
I can't believe just how lucky I am

Meanwhile...
back in the back of my memory
You're still dancing with me
And I'm holding you once again

Meanwhile...
We move to the end of a beautiful night
Tender the kisses, soft candle light
She draws the curtains
Slowly we climb up the stairs
And reach for each other
The passion begins
We fall together as lovers and then

Meanwhile...
back in the back of my memory
You're still lying with me
and I'm holding you once again

And I try and I try, the Lord knows I do
But each time my heart beats back to you

Meanwhile...
I'll go on living my life now
I'll find a way somehow
Oh but meanwhile back in the back of my memory
You'll always be with me but I'll never hold you again

And meanwhile...

Write This Down

I never saw the end in sight
Fools are kind of blind
Thought everything was going alright
But I was running out of time
'Cause you had one foot out the door

I swear I didn't see
But if you're really going away
Here's some final words from me

Chorus:
Baby, write this down, take a litte note
To remind you in case you didn't know
Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go
Write this down
Take my words, read'em everyday
Keep'em close by don't you let'em fade away
So you'll remember what I forgot to say
Write this down

I'll sign it at the bottom of the page
I'll swear under oath
'Cause every single word is true
And I think you need to know
So use it as a bookmark

Stick it on your 'frigerator door
Hang it in a picture frame up above the mantel
Where you'll see it for sure

You can find a chisel, I can find a stone
Folks will be reading these words, long after we're gone

Oh I love you and don't want you to go

Baby write this down

That's The Truth

I said I don't love you, and I ain't never been your fool
That's a lie, and that's the truth
And if it's over makes no difference if we're through
That's a lie, and that's the truth

Chorus:
I said go on, I'll be just fine
I won't fall apart, or go out of my mind
I said no one could break my heart
But you're living proof
That's a lie, and that's the truth

I don't mind the darkness alone in this room
That's a lie, and the the truth
I like bein' lonely, yaeh, I ain't missin' you
That's a lie, and the the truth

(repeat chorus)

And if you find somebody
Who says they love you more than I do
That's a lie, and that's the truth

What Do You Say To That

You're like the warm sunshine
I think of you all the time
I've fallen for you and that's a fact
What do you say to that

You're always in my dreams
I think you know what they mean
My heart knows this is real at last
What do you say to that

Chorus:
Life could never be the same without you
Love was never really love without you
Here beside you is really where it's at
What do you say to that

I promise I'll never leave
I'll always want you with me
Loving you won't ever be old hat
What do you say to that

(repeat chorus)

You're like the warm sunshine
I think of you all the time
I've fallen for you and that's a fact
What do you say to that
My heart knows this is real at last
What do you say to that

Peace Of Mind

I go anywhere that ol' wind blows
Down a blacktop road ...anytime
No strings attached, no ties to tie me down
So why hang around, when I can fly

Chorus:
I'm free, free to do as I please
Free to choose, free to be
Just plain me, just plain fine
I'm here than I'm there
Not a care in the world
What a cure for the soul...peace of mind

I go anywhere that ol' wind blows
Down a blacktop road ...anytime
No strings attached, no ties to tie me down
So why hang around, when I can fly

I don't dare slow down for anything
What tomorrow brings suits me fine
And I don't dare look back on yesterday
It's a throw away better left behind

(repeat chorus)
I go anywhere that ol' wind blows
Down a blacktop road ...anytime
No strings attached, no ties to tie me down
So why hang around, when I can fly

So why hang around, when I can fly

That's Where I Wanna Take Our Love

It's a quiet little place tucked away in the hills
Where a crystal clear lake makes it crystal clear
That there's not another living soul for miles and miles around
That's where I wanna take our love and settle down

There's a giant old oak tree that knows just how to shade
That midday summer sun when it's showin' off it's rays
While I'm making you a momma to mother nature's sound

That's where I wanna take our love and settle down

That's where I wanna raise the babies that we make

And the hell you know we'll raise when they raise cane
That's where I wanna see them laugh and cry and breathe
That honeysuckle air after it rains

And they'll know just what country means
'For they go off to town
That's where I wanna take our love and settle down

Always Never The Same

I know why I'm intrigued
You keep surprising me
Somewhere between the lines
There's no way to define
Every move you make
Always never the same

Call me mesmerized
Somehow in conversation
I'm lost in sweet temptation
Every word you say
Always never the same

I can't count the ways
You take my breath away
Always never the same
Always never the same
Always never the same

One Of You

Last night I had a dream, dreamt I had it all
I had one truck, one car, one boat, one guitar
But all these things wouldn't get me too far
If I didn't have one of you

I work hard every day to bring home all my pay
I got one house, one yard
One dog who likes to bark
We'd be cold, living the dark if I didn't have one of you

One of you is all I want and all I'll ever need
One of you is all it takes to make my life complete

Chorus:
This is what I have, you can have it all
I got one heart, one love
One dream I'm dreaming of
Wouldn't have known what to give it all to
If I didn't have one of you

One of you is all I want and all I'll ever need

One of you is all it takes to make my life complete

I Look At You

Sometimes I can't put up with bein' so put down
And all my faith can manage, is the shadow of a frown
My soul's about to break, there's only one escape

Chorus:
I look at you, when the world is full of lies
I look at you, and the truth is in your eyes
I look at you, when I lay me down at night
And I wanna see a dream come true
I look at you, and I know I've got it all
You touch my hand, and the burdens start to fall
You ease my troubled mind, I love you more each time
I look at you

You know some days I 'm tempted to run away, and hide
'Cause I can't miss the bad luck that's fallin' from the sky
I'm under some dark cloud, and there's only one way out

(repeat chorus)

4 Minus 3 Equals Zero

You always said you loved me
And I always believed you did
But now you say you're leaving
And taking both of the kids

Chorus:
4 minus 3 equals zero
Your leaving just don't add up
It's all over for me if you go
'Cause I'll be nothing without your love

The babies are sleeping in the bedroom
They don't know you're packing their clothes
At least they didn't see me crying
When you said that's the way love goes

(repeat chorus)

4 minus 3 equals zero
'Cause I'll be nothing without your love
