Sing your song sweet music man
Cause I won't be there to hold your hand
Like I used to
I'm through with you
You're a hell of a singer and a powerful man
But you surround yourself with people who demand so little of you
You touched my soul with your beautiful song
You even had me singing along right with you
You said, I need you
Then you changed the words and added harmony
And you sang the song you had written for to someone new
[chorus]
Nobody sings a love song quite like you do
Nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel
That things are right when I know they're wrong
Nobody sings a love song quite like you
Sing your song sweet music man
You travel the world with your six-piece band
That does for you
What you ask them to
You try to stay young but the songs you've sung to so many people
They've all begun to come back on you
Sing your song sad music man
You're making your living doin' one-night stands
They're through with you
They don't need you
You're still a hell of a singer but a broken man
But you'll keep on looking for one last fan
To sing to
[chorus]

Only you
Can make this world seem bright
Only you
Can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love
For only you
Only you
Can make this change in me
For it's true
You are my destiny
When you hold my hand
I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you
Oh, oh, only you
Can make this change in me
For it's true
You are my destiny
When you hold my hand
I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you
. . .

Nobody told me
It could ever hurt so bad
I'm having to learn the hard way
Now that you're gone
It's hurting me more
Than any pain I've ever had
And I don't know how I can go on
CHORUS:
Nobody dies from a broken heart
Give it time, and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you apart
But nobody dies from a broken heart
Everyone tells me
It's gonna take a little time
Before you find your heartaches
Slipping away
I know you mean well
And they're just trying to ease my mind
But it doesn't help to hear them say
Repeat Chorus
There's nothing anybody's gonna say
That'll talk me out of feeling this way
There's nothing anybody else can do
To take away my love for you
I know they mean well
And they're just trying to ease my mind
It doesn't help them to hear them say
Repeat Chorus

Christmas toys all over the place
Little Shelby wears a funny smile on his face
Shelby has a secret
And the secret he must share
He wants to tell somebody
So he tells his teddy bear
Chorus:
I saw Mama kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the misteltoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peek(it says peep but go with peek)
She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep
Then, I saw Mama tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mama kissing Santa Claus last night
Repeat Chorus
. . .

Feelin' better
Now that we're through
Feelin' better
'Cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson
It left a scar
But now I see
How you really are
Chorus:
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good...baby you're no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good...baby you're no good
Broke a heart
Gentle and true
Left a man
Over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness
On bended knee
But I wouldn't blame him
If he said to me
Repeat Chorus
I'm tellin' you now baby
That I'm going my way
Forget about you baby
'Cause I'm leaving today
. . .

I prefer yellow roses to daisies
I'll take the mountains over a postcard view
I'll order steaks every time instead of hot dogs
That's why I chose him over you
I like to love somebody handsome rather than ugly
I like happiness instead of being blue
I like to talk real late at night after making love
And that's the reasons I chose him over you
Well I don't know how I ever did without him
And I don't understand why I put up with you
Well I know that the sun shines the brightest when you're happy
So go ahead and think just what you want to
But I promise what I just told you is true
Oh I love him so much and he loves me too
And that's the reasons I chose him over you
Just some of the reasons I chose him over you
Oh over you

In the beginning
The nights were long
Under the moonlight
I could do no wrong
You told me
I was everything you wanted me to be
Then summer was over
And the nights grew cold
You got restless
And hard to hold
I tried to be
Everything you wanted me to be
Now you keep staring
At that open door
You got what you wanted
And you still want more
Well look at me
I'm everything you wanted me to be
Chorus:
Well if I don't keep you satisfied
You can't say that I haven't tried
And if I'm not what you want by now
For the life of me I can't see how
I'll ever be
Everything that you want me to be
In the beginning
The nights were long
Under the moonlight
I could do no wrong
Remember me?
I was everything you wanted me to be

At a diner down on broadway they make small talk,
When she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup,
He jokes about his love life,
And tells her he's about ready to give up,
That's when she says "I've been there before,
But keep on looking cause maybe who you're looking for is"
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody
Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a strangers face instead
It's that blue eyed girl from two floors up
Maybe she's the one,
Maybe he could fall in love with
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody
Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
The moment they'd both missed until that day
When he saw his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why he searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waiting on
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody
. . .

Set me free why don't you baby
Get out of my life why don't you baby
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin' on
Why do you keep a comin' around
Playin' with my heart
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me
Repeat Chorus
You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
But how can we be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul need to be free
Now that you got your freedom baby
You wanna still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else
Why don't you be a man about it
And set me free
You don't care a thing about me
You're just using me
So get out get out get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Keep me hangin' on
Keep me hangin' on

Stacks of paper, my name in bold print
Yours right besides it on this document
Too many lawyers, too many angry words
So much we didn't say, so much we never heard
Do you remember
When I was all that you were living for
Back before the war
CHORUS:
Back before the broken vows
The shattered trust, this empty house
When nothing really mattered but us
Back before we climbed too high
My dreams were yours, your dreams were mine
back before we fell so out of touch
Back before the war
Children's laughter trailing down the hall
Tiny footsteps, God how I miss it all
It's not as simple as who's right and who's to blame
How could we fly so high to be shot down in flames
Do you remember
When you were all that I was living for
Back before the war
Repeat Chorus
Stacks of paper, I guess this is where we sign
Strange how your signature so closely matches mine
I never dreamed our love would ever come to this
Avoiding each other's eyes still craving your tenderness
Do you remember
When love was all that we were living for
Back before the war
Back before the war
