Nick of Time (ASCAP #440179460)

Recorded by Bonnie Raitt on the album of the same name

A friend of mine she cries at night,

and she Calls me on the phone

Sees babies everywhere she goes and she

Wants one of her own.

She’s waited long enough she says

And still she can’t decide

Pretty soon she’ll have to choose and it tears her up inside…

She’s scared…scared she’ll run out of time.

I see my folks, they’re getting old,

I watch their bodies change…

I know they see the same in me,

And it makes us both feel strange…

No matter how you tell yourself,

It’s what we all go through…

Those eyes are pretty hard to take when they’re staring’ back at you

Scared you’ll run out of time.

[Chorus] When did the choices get so hard?

With so much more at stake.

Life gets mighty precious when there’s less of it to waste.

Hummmm…Scared she’ll run out of time.

Just when I thought I’d had enough

All my tears were shed…

No promise left unbroken,

There were no painful words unsaid.

You came along and showed me

How to leave it all behind….

You opened up my heart again and then much to my surprise.

I found love, Love in the Nick of Time. 3x

by Emily Robison, Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines, Wilson Daniel Dodd
From Dixie Chicks album “Taking the Long Way”

And sometimes I don’t have the energy

To prove everybody wrong

And I try my best to be strong

But you know it’s so hard

It’s so hard

It’s so hard when it doesn’t come easy

It’s so hard when it doesn’t come fast

It’s so hard when it doesn’t come easy

It’s so hard

It felt like a given

Something a woman’s born to do

A natural ambition

To see a reflection of me and you

And I’d feel so guilty

If that was a gift I couldn’t give

And could you be happy

If life wasn’t how we pictured it

And sometimes I just want to wait it out

To prove everybody wrong

And I need your help to move on

Cause you know it’s so hard

It’s so hard

It’s so hard when it doesn’t come easy

It’s so hard when it doesn’t come fast

It’s so hard when it doesn’t come easy

So hard

I can live for the moment

When all these clouds open up for me to see

And show me a vision

Of you and me swimming peacefully

Last night you told me

That you can’t remember

How to feel free

It’s so hard when it doesn’t come easy

It’s so hard when it doesn’t come fast

It’s so hard when it doesn’t come easy, easy

It’s so hard

by Wes King

From his album “A Room Full of Stories”

We thought you’d be here by now

Your mother and I

We’re praying through our tears that somehow

We might hear your sweet cry

Have we waited too long

It’s getting harder to be strong

Is there something we’ve done wrong

But if you like dancing

I’ll make it rain rhythm and rhyme and melodies, child

And if you like dreaming

Your mother will make your imagination run wild

Somehow, we thought you’d be here by now

We have a room just for you upstairs

It’s right down the hall

So we’ll be close should you ever get scared

We’ll come when you call

It’s a room full of stories

Waiting to be told

Longing to behold

And if you like laughing

I’ll paint you a circus of smiles and ferris wheels, dear

And if you like living

Your mother will fly you to worlds both far and near

Somehow……. I never knew the silence could make me so deaf

I never knew that I could miss someone

I’ve never met

Miss someone I haven’t met

We’ll be waiting

Music by Skip Ewing/JimWeatherly

Recorded by Bryan White

Album: Bryan White

Alone again tonight

without someone to love.

The stars are shining bright

so one more wish goes up.

Oh I wish I may

and I wish with all my might

For the love I’m dreaming of

and missing in my life.

You think that I could find

a true love of my own.

It happens all the time

to people that I know.

Their wishes all come true

so I’ve got to believe.

There’s still someone out there

who is meant for only me.

I guess I must be wishing

on someone else’s star.

It seems like someone else keeps getting

what I’m wishing for.

Why can’t I be as lucky

as those other people are?

I guess I must be wishing o

n someone else’s star.

I sit here in the dark

and stare up at the sky.

I can’t give my heart

one good reason why.

Everywhere I look

its lovers that I see.

Seems like everyone’s in love

with everyone but me.

on someone else’s star.

Album: Made In England

Hey you, you’re a child in my head

You haven’t walked yet

Your first words have yet to be said

But I swear you’ll be blessed

I know you’re still just a dream

your eyes might be green

Or the bluest that I’ve ever seen

Anyway you’ll be blessed

[Chorus] And you, you’ll be blessed

You’ll have the best

I promise you that

I’ll pick a star from the sky

Pull your name from a hat

I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that

You’ll be blessed

I need you before I’m too old

To have and to hold

To walk with you and watch you grow

And know that you’re blessed

Ten Days

CD: A New Day Has Come

Like a doorway on my heart

All the leaves are falling down

Although I try to pick them up

There’s so many I think I’ll drown

Ten days have come and gone

Ten days and I’m all alone

And all that I can do is pray, and pray

Ten days of cycle rain

Calming down on a sunny day

But all I gotta do is pray, and pray

And pray

Like a doorway of my life

I feel the pain, but feel no shame

What I’ve got, I keep inside

Some things have changed, but I’m still the same

Ten days have come and gone

Ten days and I’m all alone

And all that I can do is pray, and pray

Ten days of single rain

Calming down on a sunny day

But all I gotta do is pray, and pray (That’s right)

And pray

And if you’re going my way

Don’t think that I’m bad

‘Cause this is where the mile stand

I think it’s the end

Ten days have come and gone

Ten days and I’m all alone

And all that I can do is pray, and pray

Ten days of single rain

Calming down on a sunny day

But all I gotta do is pray, and pray

Ten days have come and gone

Ten days and I’m all alone A

nd all that I have to do is pray, and pray

Ten days of dismal rain

Calming down on a sunny day

And all that I do is pray, and pray

And pray

Ten days

Oh yeah

Apron Strings (BMI

CD: Acoustic

Apron strings

hanging empty

crazy things

my body tells me

i want someone to tie to my lonely

apron strings

apron strings

waiting for you

pretty things

that i could call you

i want someone to tie to my lonely

apron strings

he’d look just like me when I was young

and I wonder as the days unwind

will he have your eyes or mine

then i wake up to my

apron strings

cold and lonely

for time brings

thoughts that only

will be quiet when someone clings to my

apron strings

and i’ll be perfect in my own way

when you cry i’ll be there

i’ll sing to you and comb your hair

all your troubles i will share

for apron strings

can be used for other things

than what they’re meant for

and you’d be happy wrapped in my

apron strings

Glory Baby

From the CD “All Things New”

Glory baby you slipped away as fast as we could say baby…

baby…

You were growing, what happened dear?

You disappeared on us baby…

baby…

Heaven will hold you before we do

Heaven will keep you safe until we’re home with you…

Until we’re home with you…

Miss you everyday

Miss you in every way

But we know there’s a day when we will hold you

We will hold you

You’ll kiss our tears away

When we’re home to stay

Can’t wait for the day when we will see you

We will see you

But baby let sweet Jesus hold you ’till mom and dad can hold you…

You’ll just have heaven before we do

You’ll just have heaven before we do

Sweet little babies, it’s hard to understand it ’cause we’re hurting

We are hurting

And we know we’re stronger people through the growing

And in knowing -

That all things work together for our good

And God works His purposes just like He said He would…

Just like He said He would…

Miss you everyday

Miss you in every way

But we know there’s a day when we will hold you

But baby let sweet Jesus hold you ’till mom and dad can hold you…

You’ll just have heaven before we do

You’ll just have heaven before we do

I can’t imagine heaven’s lullabies and what they must sound like

But I will rest in knowing, heaven is your home

And it’s all you’ll ever know… a

ll you’ll ever know…

Miss you everday

Miss you in every way

But we know there’s a day when we will hold you

We will hold you

You’ll kiss our tears away

When we’re home to stay

Can’t wait for the day when we will see you

We will see you

But baby let sweet Jesus hold you ’till mom and dad can hold you…

You’ll just have heaven before we do

You’ll just have heaven before we do

Fly (ASCAP #360342176)

CD: Falling Into You

Fly, fly little wing

Fly beyond imagining

The softest cloud, the whitest dove

Upon the wind of heaven’s love

Past the planets and the stars

Leave this lonely world of ours

Escape the sorrow and the pain

And fly again

Fly, fly precious one

Your endless journey has begun

Take your gentle happiness

Far too beautiful for this

Cross over to the other shore

There is peace forevermore

But hold this mem’ry bittersweet

Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear

Don’t waste a breath, don’t shed a tear

Your heart is pure, your soul is free

Be on your way, don’t wait for me

Above the universe you’ll climb

On beyond the hands of time

The moon will rise, the sun will set

But I won’t forget

Fly, fly little wing

Fly where only angels sing

Fly away, the time is right

Go now, find the light

Here With Me
(ASCAP #280443903)

Album: No Angel

I didn’t hear you leave

I wonder how am I still here

I don’t want to move a thing

it might change my memory

oh I am what I am I’ll do what I want

but I can’t hide

I won’t go

I won’t sleep

I can’t breathe until you’re resting here with me

I won’t leave

I can’t hide

I cannot be

until you’re resting here with me

I don’t want to call my friends

they might wake me from this dream

and I can’t leave this bed

risk forgetting all that’s been

oh I am what I am

I’ll do what I want

but I can’t hide

I won’t go

won’t sleep

I can’t breathe

until you’re resting here with me

I won’t leave

I can’t hide

I cannot be

until you’re resting here with me

Along the Road

CD: Susan Ashton, Margaret Becker, Cristine Dente Trio Album

Joy at the start

Fear in the journey

Joy in the coming home

A part of the heart

Gets lost in the learning

Somewhere along the road.

Along the road

Your path may wander

A pilgrim’s faith may fail

Absence makes the heart grow stronger

Darkness obscures the trail.

Cursing the quest

Courting disaster

Measureless nights forebode

Moments of rest

Glimpses of laughter

Are treasured along the road.

Along the road

Your steps may tumble

Your thoughts may start to stray

But through it all a heart held humble

Levels and lights your way.

Joy at the start

Fear in the journey

Joy in the coming home

A part of the heart

Gets lost in the learning

Somewhere along the road

Somewhere along the road

Somewhere along the road.

Stuck In a Moment You Can’t Get
Out Of (ASCAP #491026136)

Album: All That You Can’t Leave Behind

I’m not afraid of anything in this world

There’s nothing you can throw at me that I haven’t already heard

I’m just trying to find a decent melody

A song that I can sing in my own company

I never thought you were a fool

But darling, look at you

You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight

These tears are going nowhere, baby

You’ve got to get yourself together

You’ve got stuck in a moment and now you can’t get out of it

Don’t say that later will be better now you’re stuck in a moment

And you can’t get out of it

I will not forsake, the colors that you bring

But the nights you filled with fireworks

They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me

I listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool

To worry like you do

I know it’s tough, and you can never get enough

Of what you don’t really need now … my oh my

You’ve got to get yourself together

You’ve got stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it

Oh love look at you now

You’ve got yourself stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep

The water is warm till you discover how deep

I wasn’t jumping for me it was a fall

It’s a long way down to nothing at all

You’ve got to get yourself together

You’ve got stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it

Don’t say that later will be better now

You’re stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it

And if the night runs over

And if the day won’t last

And if our way should falter

Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over

And if the day won’t last

And if your way should falter

Along the stony pass

It’s just a moment

This time will pass

Walk On (ASCAP
#530496198)

Album: All That You Can’t Leave Behind

And love

It’s not the easy thing

The only baggage

That you can bring

Not the easy thing

The only baggage you can bring

Is all that you can’t leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart

And if the daylight feels like it’s a long way off

And if your glass heart should crack

Before the second you turn back

Oh no, be strong

Walk on

Walk on

What you got, they can’t steal it

No they can’t even feel it

Walk on

Walk on

Stay safe tonight

You’re packing a suitcase for a place

None of us has been

A place that has to be believed

To be seen

You could have flown away

A singing bird

In an open cage

Who will only fly

Only fly for freedom

Walk on

Walk on

What you got

You can’t deny it

Can’t sell it or buy it

Walk on

Walk on

You stay safe tonight

And I know it aches

How your heart it breaks

You can only take so much

Walk on

Walk on

Home

Hard to know what it is

If you never had one

Home

I can’t say where it is

But I know I’m going

Home

That’s where the heart is

And I know it aches

And your heart it breaks

You can only take so much

Walk on

Leave it behind

You’ve got to leave it behind

All that you fashion

All that you make

All that you build A

ll that you break A

ll that you measure

All that you feel

All this you can leave behind

All that you reason

All that you care

It’s only time

And I’ll never fill up all my mind

All that you sense

All that you scheme

All you dress up A

nd all that you see

All you create

All that you wreck

All that you hate

Carry On Wayward Son (BMI
#187785)

Album: Leftoverture

Carry on my wayward son

There’ll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest

Don’t you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion

Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion

I was soaring ever higher

But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see

I still was a blind man

Though my mind could think

I still was a mad man

I can hear the voices when I’m dreaming

I can hear them say

Carry on my wayward son

There’ll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest

Don’t you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason

My charade is the event of the season

And if I claim to be a wise man

It surely means that I don’t know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion

Tossed about I’m like a ship on the ocean

I set a course for winds of fortune

But I hear the voices say

Carry on my wayward son

There’ll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest

Don’t you cry no more

No! Carry on

You will always remember

Carry on

Nothing equals the splendor

Now your life’s no longer empty

Surely heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son

There’ll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest

Don’t you cry no more

Angel (BMI #4073776)

CD: Surfacing

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance

For a break that would make it okay

There’s always some reason to feel not good enough

And it’s hard at the end of the day.

I need some distraction, oh, beautiful release

Memories seep from my veins

Then, maybe empty, oh well, weightless and maybe

I’ll find some peace tonight

[Chorus] In the arms of the angel far away from here

From this dark, cold hotel room and the endlessness that you feel

You are both from the wreckage of your silent reverie

You’re in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, then everywhere you turn

There’s vultures and thieves at your back

Storm keeps on twisting, keep on building the lies

That you make up for all that you lack

Don’t make no difference, escaping one last time

It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness

Oh, this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

[Chorus]You’re in the arms of the angel May you find some
comfort here

Strength, Courage & Wisdom
(ASCAP #491243660)

CD: Acoustic Soul

Inside my head there lives a dream that I want to see in
the sun

Behind my eyes there lives a me that I’ve been hiding for much too
long

‘Cause I’ve been, too afraid to let it show

‘Cause I’m scared of the judgment that may follow

Always putting off my living for tomorrow

It’s time to step out on faith, I’ve gotta show my faith

It’s been elusive for so long, but freedom is mine today

I’ve gotta step out on faith, It’s time to show my faith

Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found

[Chorus] Strength, courage, and wisdom

And it’s been inside of me all along,

Strength, courage, and wisdom

Inside of me

Behind my pride there lives a me, that knows humility

Inside my voice there is a soul, and in my soul there is a voice

But I’ve been, too afraid to make a choice

‘Cause I’m scared of the things that I might be missing

Running too fast to stop and listen It’s time to step out on faith,

I’ve gotta show my faith

It’s been illusive for so long but freedom is mine today

I’ve gotta step out on faith it’s time to show my faith

Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found

[Chorus] Strength, courage, and wisdom

And it’s been inside of me all along,

Strength, courage, and wisdom Inside of me

[Bridge] I close my eyes and I think of all the things that
I want to see

‘Cause I know, now that I’ve opened up my heart I know that

Anything I want can be, so let it be, so let it be:.

[Chorus] Strength, courage, and wisdom

It’s been inside of me all along,

Strength, courage, wisdom

It’s been inside of me all along, everyday I’m praying for:

[Chorus] Strength, courage, and wisdom

To find me, yeah,

Strength, courage, and wisdom Inside of me

[Vamp] I found it in me,

I found it finally I’m sure to keep it’ cause I like it,

I say thank you

Yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah

Dear Lord can you take it away? (Oooh)

This pain in my heart that follows me by day

And at night it stalks me like the shadows on my wall (Mmmmm)

Oh my goodness

[Chorus:] Feels like the world is closin’ on me

Feels like my dreams will never come to me

I keep on slippin’ deeper into myself

And I’m scared, so scared

If you’re troubled, you just gotta let it go

If you’re worried baby, you just gotta let it go

All your hustles aint for nothing, you just gotta take it slow

When you need me baby, all you do is let it go

Why does it feel that my mind is constantly trying to pull
me down

I can’t seem to get away

Continous mistakes I know I’ve made before

How long will I feel so out of place

[repeat chorus x4]

[Chorus:] Feels like the world is closin’ on me

Feels like my dreams will never come to me

I keep on slippin’ deeper into myself

And I’m scared, so scared

Bring On The Rain (ASCAP
#320589968)

Album: Burn

Another day has almost come and gone

Can’t imagine what else could wrong

Sometimes I’d like to hide away somewhere and lock the door

A single battle lost but not the war (’cause)

Tomorrow’s another day

And I’m thirsty anyway

So bring on the rain

It’s almost like the hard times circle ’round

A couple drops and they all start coming down

Yeah, I might feel defeated,

I might hang my head I might be barely breathing - but I’m not dead

Tomorrow’s another day

And I’m thirsty anyway

So bring on the rain

I’m not gonna let it get me down

I’m not gonna cry

And I’m not gonna lose any sleep tonight

That’s the Way It Is

CD: All the Way

I can read your mind and I know your story

I see what you’re going through

It’s an uphill climb, and I’m feeling sorry

But I know it will come to you

So, don’t surrender ’cause you can win

In this thing called love

When you want it the most there’s no easy way out

When you’re ready to go and your heart’s left in doubt

Don’t give up on your faith

Love comes to those who believe it

And that’s the way it is

When you question me for a simple answer

I don’t know what to say, no

But it’s plain to see, if you stick together

You’re gonna find a way, yeah

So, don’t surrender ’cause you can win

In this thing called love

When you want it the most there’s no easy way out

When you’re ready to go and your heart’s left in doubt

Don’t give up on your faith

Love comes to those who believe it

And that’s the way it is

When life is empty with no tomorrow

And loneliness starts to call

Baby, don’t worry, forget your sorrow

‘Cause love’s gonna conquer it all, all

When you want it the most there’s no easy way out

When you’re ready to go and your heart’s left in doubt

Don’t give up on your faith

Love comes to those who believe it

And that’s the way it is

When you want it the most there’s no easy way out

When you’re ready to go and your heart’s left in doubt

Don’t give up on your faith

Love comes to those who believe it

And that’s the way it is That’s the way it is

That’s the way it is, baby

Don’t give up on your faith

Love comes to those who believe it

And that’s the way it is!

I Knew I Loved You

by Savage Garden

Maybe it’s intuition

But some things you just don’t question

Like in your eyes

I see my future in an instant

And there it goes

I think I’ve found my best friend

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy

But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you

I think I dreamed you into life

I knew I loved you before I met you

I have been waiting all my life

There’s just no rhyme or reason

Only this sense of completion

And in your eyes I see the missing pieces

I’m searching for

I think I’ve found my best friend

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy

But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you

I think I dreamed you into life

I knew I loved you before I met you

I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you

I am complete now that I’ve found you

I knew I loved you before I met you

I think I dreamed you into life I knew

I loved you before I met you

I have been waiting all my life

Taking You Home (ASCAP
#500687387)

Album: Such Sweet Sorrow

I had a good life

Before you came

I had my friends and my freedom

I had my name

Still there was sorrow and emptiness

‘Til you made me glad

Oh, in this love I found strength I never knew I had

And this love

Is like nothing I have ever known

Take my hand, love

I’m taking you home

I’m taking you home

There were days, lonely days

When the world wouldn’t throw me a crumb

But I kept on believing

That this day would come

And this love

Is like nothing I have ever known

Take my hand, love

I’m taking you home

I’m taking you-home

Where we can be with the ones who really care

Home, where we can grow together

Keep you in my heart forever

And this love

Is like nothing I have ever known

Take my hand, love

I’m taking you home

Taking you home A

nd this love

Is like nothing I have ever known

Take my hand, love

I’m taking you home

I’m taking you home

Someone Like You (BMI
#1375757)

Album: Next

I’ve been searching a long time

For someone exactly like you

I’ve been travelin’ all around the world

Waiting for you to come through

Someone like you makes it all worthwhile

Someone like you keeps me satisfied

Someone exactly like you

I’ve been travelin’ a hard road baby

Lookin’ for someone exactly like you now

I’ve been carryin’ a heavy load

Waiting for the light to come shinin’ through

Someone like you makes it all worthwhile

Someone like you keeps me satisfied

Someone exactly like you,

Someone exactly like you

I’ve been doin’ some soul searchin’

To find out where you’re at

I’ve been up and down the highway

In all kinds of foreign lands

I’ve been all around the world

Marchin’ to the beat of a different drum

But just lately I’ve realized

Baby the best is yet to come

Someone like you makes it all worthwhile

Someone like you keeps me satisfied

Someone exactly like you makes it all worthwhile

Someone like you keeps me satisfied

Someone exactly like you

A New Day Has Come (ASCAP
#440345780)

Recorded by Celine Dion on the album of the same title

I was waiting for so long

For a miracle to come

Everyone told me to be strong

Hold on and don’t shed a tear

So through darkness and good times

I knew I’d make it through

And the world thought I had it all

But I was waiting for you

Hush now I see a light in the sky

Oh it’s almost blinding me

I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel

With love

Let the rain come down

And wash away my tears

Let it fill my soul

And drown my fears

Let it shatter the walls

For a new sun

A new day has come

A new day has come

Where it was dark now there is light

Where there was pain, now there’s joy

Where there was weakness,

I found my strength

All in the eyes of a boy

Hush now I see a light in the sky

Oh it’s almost blinding me

I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel

With love

Let the rain come down

And wash away my tears

Let it fill my soul

And drown my fears

Let it shatter the walls

For a new sun

A new day has come

A new day has come

A Smile as Beautiful as Yours
(ASCAP #490869497)

On the motion picture soundtrack “A Smile Like Yours ”
Eastwest

‘Ooh…hoo…

Thought I’d seen everything

There was to see in this world

Now I’m not so sure

I’ve really seen anything at all

I thought life

Could show me no surprises

And then you came

And showed me I was wrong

I have seen the bluest skies

Rainbows that would make you cry

I have seen miracles that moved my soul

Days that changed my life

I have seen the brightest stars

Shine like diamonds in the dark

Seen all the wonders of the world

But I’ve never seen a smile as beautiful as yours

Woo…hoo…hoo…

Oh, I thought I’d been everywhere

I’d climbed a mountain so high

Sailed the sea, crossed the sky

And still I was nowhere at all

Until that day

Oh, you came to my senses

And your smile it made

Sense out of it all

I have seen the bluest skies

Rainbows that would make you cry

I have seen miracles that moved my soul

Days that changed my life

I have seen the brightest stars

Shine like diamonds in the dark

Seen all the wonders of the world

But I’ve never seen a smile as beautiful as yours

[A smile so beautiful]

So beautiful

Comes one time in a lifetime

[A smile this beautiful]

A smile this beautiful

I never dreamed I’d ever see,

oh…oh…oh…

[I have seen the bluest skies]

I have seen it

[Rainbows that would make you cry]

That would make you cry

I’ve seen miracles

[Miracles] move my soul

And days that changed my life

I have seen the brightest stars

Shine like diamonds in the dark

Oh, I’ve seen the wonders of this world

[Wonders of the world]

But I’ve never seen a smile

[Never seen a smile before]

So beautiful

[As beautiful as yours]

Oh, I’ve never seen a smile before

[As beautiful]

As beautiful as yours
