HERE I AM
I have loved and I have lost
Wondered was it worth the cost was it worth the pain
Of feeling lost cryin in the rain
Was it worth the tears the wasted years
And I played the game of pointing blame
Of feeling mad of feelin sad
Love had really hurt me bad and I felt ashamed
Love was just a game that I couldn't win
How could I regain what I lost in vain
And I cursed your name for the hurt and pain
But somehow the flame of love remains
Like a supertrain love was right on time
Lke a vintage wine and it felt so fine
Now I got what's mine
Even though I swore I'd never love again
I'm gonna let her love me
My lonely nights are over I'm in love
I swore I'd never love again but here I am
I'm gonna let her love me
I'm gonna let her love me
Till it tears me apart
I'm gonna let her love me
Till it breaks my heart
My broken heart will finally heal love teach me how to Keep it real to stay in love to feel alive
To give my heart another try
To feel you breathing on my chest
I would gladly take the risk
I'll take a chance on real romance
You make the weary want to dance
And maybe when we're old we'll say
We gave our love, gave it all away
We gave whatever we could give
Cause this is how we're meant to live
And if we had a second chance
We'd gladly do it all again
We'd give whatever we could give
Cause this is how we're meant to live
This is how we're mean to live
IF GOD LOVES ME
I was standin
In the corner
She walked over
Said you wanna
And we laughed till morn
And I thought
Lady Luck has finally come
Then/next I'm thinkin
Drinkin
My whole attitude was stinkin
Wonderin what went wrong
So I wrote this song
'Fore I did somebody's body harm
I'm not gettin any younger
When do they call my number?
I thought that you were heaven sent
Straight to hell is where we went
First came the lightnin'
Then the thunder
What God joined together
We tore asunder
If it was love it would be the 9th wonder
Before it's over I'd be 6 feet under
If God loves me
Oh why did He send you?
Blamed it on the full full moon
Blamed it on the wine
I saw everything I dreamed of
In your eyes
Don't know what you saw in me
Guess you thought that I had money
Your sweet disposition
Was just a disguise
But how I wanted to believe your lies
Now I'm starin'
At the daughter
That she gave me
Didn't want her
And I thank the one
Who almost took me down
For the greatest love
I've ever found
And I'm kneelin'
Prayin'
Givin thanks for every day that
I can watch her grow
Now I really know
There's a plan for us
That God will show
Every day's different
than the other
I never dreamed I'd be a father
I know that she was heaven sent
All the past
Was worth the present
It took some lightnin'
And some thunder
What God joins together
Can't be torn asunder
This kind of love
Outdoes all the others
It never ends
It just goes on forever
And God loves me
That's why He sent you
And God loves me
That's why He sent you
Yes, God loves me
That why He sent you
I LOVE MY DOG
People I can live without them
They don't thrill me like you do
In you I found my life's companion
You're my better half, it's true
Some folks find their peace in prayin'
Others hope to say I do
I was lost until you found me
You're my best fried faithful and true
I love my dog
She's the closest thing I ever found to God
When my life is over and they count what's right
In my life's cataloge
Like the simple truth shining through the fog
I love my dog
People come and people go on
I found love I can rely on
In stormy waters you're my log
I don't care if it sounds odd
Some folks folks find their peace in prayin'
Others hope to say I do
In you I found my life's companion
You're my best friend faithful and true
How're you doin' thanks for calling
Sorry but I'm not alone
Being friends sound fine with me
I've got my best friend right here at home
DON'T FORGET YOUR ANGELS HERE
Tonight, tonight
You sleep witht the angels
Tonight, tonight
An angel's kiss
This world will never know the beauty
That you gave us as a gift
So sleep tonight with the angels
But don't forget your angels here
Who long to hold you in a happy place
Where angels know no fear
I never thought that the world could be so unforgiving
I never dreamed you'd be taken from me in this way
Give me the strength that it takes to keep living
And pray that one day the world is a place
Where the angels are safe
All of the plans that we made may be broken
All of the dreams that we dreamed might-have-beens
Still your light shines with the strength of a diamond
With love leaving hatred with nothing to win
So sleep tonight with the angels
But don't forget your angels here
Who long to love you in a happy place
Where love's the only word that angels hear
So let the angels love you while we're here
A PIECE OF LIFE
A little sex and a paycheck
Ain't good enough for me
Your direct deposit
No consolation for the lonely
I know that I cannot continue
To play out this fantasy
I hope that peace will come
I'll pay the price
I'd like to buy me
A little piece of life
I thought love was a fairy-tale story
And that you were a prince who adored me
When I lost you I learned where to find me
And a real love that set me free
A little sex and a paycheck
I sold-out so easily
You took for granted
You could count your way to me
I know that I will not continue
To cry myself to sleep at night
I'm sure that peace will come
I've paid the price
I think I owe me
A little piece of life
LOVE HAS ARRIVED (VIVIAN'S SONG)
Love has been waiting
Love has arrived
I can feel that my heart is willing to open-up and let love inside
Love that's been waiting won't be denied
Open-up your heart and let love lift-us-up
Where the eagles fly
People of the world unite!
Hatred overthrow
Then we will see the light shining on us all
Love that lights every face
Every tear will dry
Our love will lift-us-up
Where the eagles fly, eagles fly
If there is someone
In need of a helping hand
Let the love in our hearts guide them
To their piece of the promised land
There is no problem love will not heal
Loving just makes love grow stronger
The more we love the more we feel
We Shall Overcome
IF GOD LOVES ME WHY

IF GOD LOVES ME (WHY DID SHE SEN
I was standin' in the corner
You came over, said you 'wanna?
And we laughed till morn'
I thought Lady Luck had finally come
Now I'm thinkin'
Drinkin'
My whole attitude is stinkin'
Wonderin' what went wrong?
So I wrote this song
'For I do somebody's body harm
I'm not gettin' any younger
When do they call my number?
I thought that you were heaven sent
Straight to hell is where we went
First came the lightnin' then the thunder
What God put
We tore asunder
If that was love it would be the 9th wonder
before it's over I''d be six feet under
If God loves me then why did she send you?
I really needed this to work -out
You were the final trainwreck
On my romance route
Choo-choo
If God loves me then why?
And if she knew then why?
If God loves me then why did she send you?
OOPS
I BELIEVED IN FABLES I BELIEVED IN FAIRY TALES
WHAT THEY CALL ROMANCE I CALL JAIL
FOUND A WAY OF SAYIN' I'M NOT ON SALE
SO I DID MYSELF A FAVOR GOT TIME OFF FROM BAD BEHAVIOR
AND I'M 33 AND I DON'T DO OOPS, OOPS, OOPS, OOPS
YOU KNOW I REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME
AND I DON'T DO OOPS, OOPS, OOPS, OOPS
ONCE I BELIEVED LOVE WAS PAIN SO I JUST GAVE UP AND CHANGED MY NAME I LEARNED MY LESSON
I'LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN
SO WHEN THEY POP THE QUESTION WOULD I EVER SETTLE DOWN
I TELL 'EM I'M ALREADY WITH THE FINEST WOMAN AROUND
AND I'M 45 AND I DON'T DO OOPS, OOPS, OOPS, OOPS
I GUESS I FOUND MY STRIDE
AND I DON'T DO OOPS, OOPS, OOPS, OOPS
I GOTTA THANK THE HEAVENS ABOVE FOR OOPS
FOR SHOWIN' ME WHAT I'M MADE OF
IT TAKES A SWEET, SWEET WOMAN TO LEARN TOUGH LOVE
THESE DAYS MY DATES ARE MORE LIKE INTERVIEWS
I CHECK 'EM OUT FIRST 'CAUSE I'M NOBODY'S FOOL
AND IT TAKES MUCH MORE THAN SWEET TALKIN'
TO MAKE IT THROUGH
NOW I'M DOIN' ALL I CAN TO STAND BY ME WITHOUT THAT MAN
AND I'M 56 AND I DON'T DO OOPS, OOPS, OOPS, OOPS
I'M A REAL COOL CHICK AND I DON'T DO OOPS, OOPS, OOPS, OOPS
HOW'D THEM CLOTHES GET IN MY CLOSET?
OOPS
WHAT'S THAT BUMP ON MY STOMACH?
OOPS
NO MORE OOPS
