Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house And Rachael was a land baron's daughter Born with a silver spoon in her mouth Her daddy said he wouldn't stand For Rachael to waste her life with a common man He tried hard to keep them apart But you can't draw lines in a young girl's heart So late one night by the harvest moon Jacob climed a ladder up to Rachael's room He knew his place, it was right beside her Step by step up to her world Head over heels for a brown-eyed girl And gettin' caught didn't seem to matter 'Cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder It'll be five years September Since her daddy found a ladder and a note on her windowsill He swore he'd never forgive them But nothin' melts a heart like a grandchild will Now she climbs up on his knee Says, "Grandpa, tell a story, the one about me" He thinks back and his eyes shine Says, "Listen Child, once upon a time" Late one night by the harvest moon Your daddy climbed a ladder to your mama's room He knew his place, it was right besde her Step by step up to her world Head over heels for my little girl And here you are, that's all that matters 'Cause heaven was watin' at the top of Jacob's ladder Oh, an angel was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder |

I've never the sun set at Montigo Bay But my heart melts when you look at me that way And I've never seen the snow fall From a rocky mountain sky But I get a chill just by lookin' in your eyes 'Cause you take me places I've never been I travel the world in your arms and back again I have no need to wander or go chasing those four winds 'Cause you take me places I've never been I may never see the wonders on this earth I may never hold treasures of great worth I could search the whole world over But I don't have to go that far I've got it all right here in my arms 'Cause you take me places that I've never been I travel the world in your arms and back again I have no need to wander or go chasing those four winds 'Cause you take me places I've never been 'Cause you take me places I've never been |

All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world, all that I'll ever need Is in your eyes, shining at me When you smile I can feel all my passion unfolding Your hand brushes mine And a thousand sensations seduce me 'cause I I do, cherish you For the rest of my life You don't have to think twice I will, love you still, from the depths of my soul It's beyond my control I've waited so long to say this to you If you're asking do I love you this much, I do In my world before you I lived outside my emotions Didn't know where I was going Until that day I found you How you opened my life to a new paradise In a world torn by change Still with all of my heart, until my dying day I do, cherish you For the rest of my life You don't have to think twice I will, love you still, from the depths of my soul It's beyond my control I've waited so long to say this to you If you're asking do I love you this much, yes I do I've waited so long to say this to you So, if you're asking if I love you this much, I do Oh, I do |

I'm a little boy with glasses
The one they call the geek A little girl who never smiles 'Cause I've got braces on my teeth And I know how it feels To cry myself to sleep I'm that kid on every playground Who's always chosen last A single teenage mother Tryin' to overcome my past You don't have to be my friend But is it too much to ask Don't laugh at me Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings Don't laugh at me I'm the cripple on the corner You've passed me on the street And I wouldn't be out here beggin' If I had enough to eat And don't think I don't notice That our eyes never meet I lost my wife and little boy when Someone crossed that yellow line The day we laid them in the ground Is the day I lost my mind And right now I'm down to holdin' This little cardboard sign, so Don't laugh at me Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings Don't laugh at me I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey, aren't we all Don't laugh at me Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings Don't laugh at me |

They kissed goodbye at the terminal gate
She said, "You're gonna be late if you don't go" He held her tight, said, "I'll be alright I'll call you tonight to let you know" He bought a postcard, on the front it just said Heaven With a picture of the ocean and the beach And the simple words he wrote her Said he loved her and they told her How he'd hold her if his arms would reach Wish you were here, wish you could see this place Wish you were near, I wish I could touch your face The weather's nice, it's paradise It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know They say, "Hello, I miss you so, wish you were here" She got a call that night but it wasn't from him It didn't sink in right away, ma'am the plane went down Our crews have searched the ground No survivors found she heard him say But somehow she got a postcard in the mail That just said Heaven with a picture of the ocean and the beach And the simple words he wrote her Said he loves and they told her How he'd love her if his arms would reach Wish you were here, wish you could see this place Wish you were near, I wish I could touch your face The weather's nice, it's paradise It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know They say, "Hello, I miss you so, wish you were here" The weather's nice, in paradise It's summertime all year and all the folks we know They say, "Hello, I miss you so, wish you were here" Wish you were here |

Third of June she said goodbye
I watched her walk into the night The hardest thing I ever did was let her go We swore as friends we'd stay in touch Best of friends don't mean that much When that phone call comes to tell you She's in love She's in love She's got that fire in her eyes She's in love How her smile lights up the sky It's like she's walking on air She's been set free Still I can't believe She's in love Strolling down a one way street Looking like every man's fantasy She's in love Why can't it be me Told everyone I'm doing fine Learned to get on with my life I just want what's best for her So I lied Found a note on my door last night Said, I'll be your friend until I die But you should know I found someone Now she's in love She's in love She's got that fire in her eyes She's in love How her smile lights up the sky It's like she's walking on air She's been set free Still I can't believe She's in love Strolling down a one way street Looking like every man's fantasy She's in love Why can't it be me She's in love She's got that fire in her eyes She's in love How her smile lights up the sky It's like she's walking on air She's been set free Still I can't believe She's in love Strolling down a one way street Looking like every man's fantasy She's in love Why can't it be me She's in love Why can't it be me |

It's Underiable
That we should be together It's unbelievable How I used to say That I'd fall never The basis is need to know If you don't know Just how I feel Then let me show you now That I'm for real If all things in time Time will reveal (Chorus) One You're like a dream come true Two Just wanna be with you Three Girl,it's plain to see That you're the only one for me And four Repeat steps one thru three Five Make you fall in love with me If ever I believe my work is done Then I'll start back at one It's so incredible The way things work themselves out And all emotional Once you know what it's all about, hey And undesirable For us to be apart I never would have made it very far 'Cause you know you've got the keys to my heart (Chorus) Say farewell to the dark of night I see the coming of the sun I feel like a little child Whose life has just begun You came and breathed new life Into this lonely heart of mine You threw out the lifeline Just in the nick of time |

Almost made you love me
Almost made you cry Almost made you happy, baby Didn't I didn't I You almost had me thinkin' You were turned around But everybody knows Almost doesn't count Almost heard you singing You're finally free What was always missing for you Babe you'd found it in me But you can't get to heaven Half off the ground Everbody knows Almost doesn't count I can't keep lovin' you One foot outside the door I hear a funny hesitation Of a heart that's never really sure Can't keep on tryin' If you're looking for more Than all that I could give you Than what you came here for Gotta find somebody Not afraid to let go Want a no doubt be there kind of girl You came real close But every time you built me up You only let me down And everybody knows Almost doesn't count I can't keep loving you One foot outside the door I hear a funny hesitation Of a heart that's never really sure Can't keep on tryin' If you're looking for more Than all that I could give you Than what you came here for Maybe you'll be sorry Maybe you'll be cold Maybe you'll come runnin' back From the cruel cruel world You almost convinced me You're gonna stick around But everybody knows Almost doesn't count Maybe I'll be here Maybe I'll see you around That's the way it goes Almost doesn't count |

I saw Star Wars at least 8 times
Had the Pac-Man pattern memorized And I've seen the stuff they put inside, Stretch Armstrong Yeah I was Roger Staubach back in my back yard Had a shoebox full of baseball cards And a couple of Evil Kinevil scars On my right arm Well, I was a kid when Elvis died And my mama cried It was 1970-something In the world that I grew up in Farrah Faucett hair-do days Bell bottoms and 8-track tapes Lookin' back now I can see me And oh man, did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' Aww, It was 1970-something It was the dawning of a new decade We got our first microwave Dad broke down and finally shaved Them old sideburns off I took the stickers off of my Rubix cube Watched MTV all afternoon My first love was Daisy Duke In them cut off jeans A Space Shuttle fell out of the sky And the whole world cried It was 1980-something In the world that I grew up in Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams Big hair and parachute pants Lookin' back now I can see me And oh man, did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' Aww, It was 1980-something Now I got a mortgage and an SUV But all this responsibility Makes me wish sometimes Sometimes.... It was 1980-something In the world that I grew up in Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams Big hair and parachute pants Lookin' back now I can see me And oh, man did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' Aww, It was 1980-something 1970-something Aw, it was 19-Something |

You look so peaceful sleeping
You don't know that I'm leaving but I'm gone Well I did my best to beat 'em, but in my head the demons said move on When you wake up you're gonna curse my name But as some time goes by I hope and pray When you think of me Remember the way that I used to be Remember the times I held you tenderly Remember the way that I love you I think about the night I met you I swore I'd never forget you, well I won't I think about the way you live and breathe beside my dreams forever Well you'll be better when I'm gone Cuz I know you're gonna fall in love again I'm sorry this is how it has to end When you think of me Remember the way that I used to be Remember the times I held you tenderly Remember the way I love you When you think of me As I pick up these bags and turn around I say a little prayer and hope somehow When you think of me Remember the way that I used to be Remember the times I held you tenderly Remember the way that I love you When you think of me Remember the way that i used to be Remember the times i held you tenderly Remember the way that I love you When you think of me When you think of me When you think of me When you think of me |
