Now the clock says it's time
Rise and smell the daily grind, no breaking free
Another day, hedge and bets
All this work is gonna get the best of me
Such a hard life

And you pull the shades, make me smile
Pull the cotton sheets up over our heads
Hear you say, let's stay in bed a little while longer
Outside, it's a hard life but that's alright

Hurry up, talk the talk, say 'yes sir' when you wanna walk
And bite you tongue
You tell yourself, you're paying due
The trouble is you know the truth, you ain't that young
It's a hard life

And you pull the shades, make me smile
Pull the cotton sheets up over our heads
Hear you say, let's stay in bed a little while longer
Outside, it's a hard life but that's alright, yes it is

Baby, let me tell you what
Gotta let this hard life stuff
Gotta let it go, let it go
Right on by us

And you pull the shades, make me smile
Pull the cotton sheets up over our heads
Hear you say, oh, let's stay in bed a little while longer
Outside, it's a hard life, yes it is, baby
Outside, it's a hard life, oh, but that's alright
Oh, yes it is, ooh

I felt so good the day we met
Like I just discovered a long lost friend
I knew I loved you from that day on
I still feel the same even though you're gone
I just believe in the love we had, too strong

Always have, always will
There's a place in my heart no one else could ever fill
Life is good, I'm okay, yeah, yeah
Only God and I know how much I love you still
Always have, always will

I moved on and I'm doing fine
Since I gave up trying to turn back time
It doesn't matter who caused the pain
All the tears are gone only love remains
I still smile every time I hear your name

Always have, always will
There's a place in my heart no one else could ever fill
Life is good, I'm okay, yeah, yeah
Only God and I know how much I love you still
Always have, always will, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Life is good, I'm okay, yeah, yeah
Only God and I know how much I love you still
Always have, always will, always have, always will
Ooh, always have, oh, yeah, yeah, always will

It's been 23 weeks and by now you would think
That the thrill is gone but it's not
I'm not one to leap in but I dove off the deep end
And I'm givin' it all that I got

Now I'm stuck in this traffic, just thinkin' of you
And how nobody does it the way that you do

Yeah, it feels like I'm walkin' on water
Got me so high I might never come down
Yeah, it feels like it's the one thing I know that I'm sure of
Baby, your love is unmistakable

The touch of your breath on the back of my neck
Is like nothing I've ever known
The way you look at me, I swear your eyes can see
To the deepest depths of my soul

And every kiss that you give shakes me right to the bone
Don't wanna ever get off of this ride that I'm on

Yeah, it feels like I'm walkin' on water
Got me so high I might never come down
Yeah, it feels like it's the one thing I know that I'm sure of
Baby, your love is unmistakable
Yeah, yeah

Now it's 4 in the morning I'm still thinking of you
How nobody loves me the way that you do

Yeah, it feels like I'm walkin' on water
Got me so high I might never come down
Yeah, it feels like it's the one thing I know that I'm sure of
Baby, your love is unmistakable
Oooh, unmistakable, ooh

You wait your whole life for one moment
And if it ever comes, you pray your eyes are open
To see the answer to love's mystery
I think I see it now right in front of me

I know what I'm doing for the rest of my life
I'm waving goodbye to love, the way I knew it
And I'm taking you with me
Welcome to the rest of my life, life
The rest of my life, life

It used to scare me, that word forever
But now it makes me smile because my heart knows better
So what if love's been less than perfect
Now that I found you, baby it was worth it

I know what I'm doing for the rest of my life
I'm waving goodbye to love, the way I knew it
And I'm taking you with me
Welcome to the rest of my life, life
To the rest of my life, life

I can't believe, I ever thought I'd never
Find something so true
I'm jumping in forever
Thanks to you, baby, thanks to you

I know what I'm doing for the rest of my life
I'm waving goodbye to love, the way I knew it
And I'm taking you with me
Welcome to the rest of my life

Yeah, I know what I'm doing, oh, for the rest of my life
I'm waving goodbye to love, the way I knew it
And I'm taking you with me
Welcome to the rest of my life, life
To the rest of my life, life

Please come a little closer to me
But not so close, I can't breathe
'Cause your stamping on my little tippy toes

And I, I got a funny feeling inside
Like something's gonna happen tonight
But it's not what you might think I have in mind
So back it up, baby, keep your hands up by your side

'Cause mummy gets swing, that's then you realize
And we wanna have a good time

It's not the point that you love but I still gotta hide
It's a beautiful day and that's the reason I wanna play
Feel the wind in my hair, see the love everywhere
Tomorrow come what may just treat me like a woman today
Treat me like a woman

You, you think you know me better than most
Before you make a move, here's how it goes
I'm not taking any of the usual lines
So step up your game, introduce an element of surprise

'Cause mummy gets swing, that's then you realize
And we wanna have a good time

It's not the point that you love but I still gotta hide
It's a beautiful day and that's the reason I wanna play
Feel the wind in my hair and see the love everywhere
Tomorrow come what may just treat me like a woman today

It's not the point that you love but I still gotta hide
It's a beautiful day and that's the reason I wanna play
Feel the wind in my hair and see the love everywhere
Tomorrow come what may just treat me like a woman

It's not the point that you love but I still gotta hide
It's a beautiful day and that's the reason I wanna play
Feel the wind in my hair and see the love everywhere
Tomorrow come what may just treat me like a woman today

[No lyrics]

Every night that I have cried myself to sleep
Every time when I had given up on dreams
And every hope and prayer had fallen through
I was only on my way to you

Baby, I'm home
When it's only you and me
All this crazy world just seams to disappear

Baby, I'm home
With you I found my way
And the perfect place where I lay down my soul
Baby, I'm home

I never knew that love could make me feel this way
Never knew two arms could make me feel so safe
All the times I thought that I was fine
You showed me what was missin' in my life

Baby, I'm home
When it's only you and me
All this crazy world just seams to disappear

Baby, I'm home
And with you I found my way
And the perfect place where I lay down my soul
Baby, I'm home

All the heartache, all the lonely, all the pain
All the times I lost my way
Now I know were not in vain

I'm home
And it's only you and me
All this crazy world just seams to disappear

Baby, I'm home
'Cause with you I found my way
You're the perfect place where I lay down my soul
Baby, I'm home, I'm home

I don't know how I survived
In this cold and empty world for all this time
I only know that I'm alive
Because you love me

When I recall what I've been through
There's some things
That I wish I didn't do
Now I do the things I do
Because you love me

And now that you're in my life
I'm so glad I'm alive
'Cause you showed me the way
And I know now how good it can be
Because you love me

And now that you're in my life
Oh, I'm so glad I'm alive
'Cause you showed me the way
And I know now how good it can be
Because you love me

I believe in things unseen
I believe in the message of a dream
And I believe in what you are
Because you love me

With all my heart and all my soul
I'm loving you and I never will let go
And every day I'll let it show
Because you love me
Because you love me

He left me cryin' late one Sunday night outside of Boulder
He said he had to find himself out on the road
I guess when love goes wrong
You've gotta learn to be strong

So I worked two jobs and I moved three times
I ended up south of Memphis workin' down in Riverside
I may not be so lucky in love
But the one thing I'm sure of

I want a man that stands beside me
Not in front of or behind me
Give me two arms that want to hold me not own me
And I'll give all the love in my heart
Stand beside me
Be true don't tell lies to me
I'm not lookin' for a fantasy
I want a man that who stands beside me

I didn't expect to see him one hot July morning
His hair was longer but his eyes were the same old blue
He said, I've missed you for so long. Oh baby, what can I do
I said, I want a man that stands beside me
Not in front of or behind me
Give me two arms that want to hold me not own me
And I'll give all the love in my heart

It's hard to tell him no when I want him so bad
But I've got to be true to my heart This time

I'm not lookin' for a fantasy
I want a man who stands beside me
I want a man
Who stands beside me
Stand beside me
