I love the way you wear those worn out blue jeans,
Walkin' all around in the big sunshine.
Baby, let me believe that you're perfect,
At least for a little while.

You don't have to tell me what you're thinkin';
You can keep all that to yourself.
Baby, we got such a good thing goin'.
Don't show me that you're someone else.

'Cause I'm actin' as if this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me.
I'm tellin' myself this true love's never gonna leave me lonely.
Unless there's somethin' I've missed,
I'm actin' as if.
(As if, as if, as if)
(As if, as if, as if)

We don't have to have that conversation;
Baby, don't you think it's goin' fine?
We don't need to send out invitations
To tell the world that you're mine.

'Cause I'm actin' as if this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me.
I'm tellin' myself this true love's never gonna leave me lonely.
Unless there's somethin' I've missed,
I'm actin' as if.

As if your sweet kiss is never gonna fade away,
And the way that you look at me will never change.
'Cause I love the way you wear those worn out blue jeans,
Walkin' all around in the big sunshine.

'Cause I'm actin' as if this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me.
And I'm tellin' myself this true love's never gonna leave me lonely.
I'm actin' as if this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me.
I'm tellin' myself this true love's never gonna leave me lonely.
Unless there's somethin' I've missed,
Unless there's somethin' I've missed,
I'm actin' as if.
(As if, as if, as if) Oh, yeah.
(As if, as if, as if) Oh, I'm actin' as if.
(As if, as if, as if)
(As if, as if, as if)

(Sara Evans/Marcus Hummon/Darrell Scott)

I've been tellin' my dreams to the scarecrow
'Bout the places that I'd like to see
I said, friend do you think I'll ever get there
Ah, but he just stands there smilin' back at me

So I confessed my sins to the preacher
About the love I've been prayin' to find
Is there a brown eye'd boy in my future, yeah
He says. girl you've got nothin' but time

But how do you wait for heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know, that you were born, you were born to fly

My daddy, he's grounded like the oak tree
My momma, she is steady as the sun
Oh you know I love my folks
But I keep starin' down the road
Just lookin' for my one chance to run

Yeah, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a sea
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
And I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free

Oh, how do you wait for heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know, that you were born
You were born yeah
You were born to fly

So how do you wait for heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know that you were born
You were born to fly fly fly fly

Hey
Ooooh, ooooh

(Diane Warren)

Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smile just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything in me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
And these are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me
Yeah

These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Oh, here with you here with me
No, I could not ask for more
Than this love you gave me
Cause it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
No, yeah
No, I could not ask for more

(Sara Evans/Tom Shapiro/Tony Martin)

If you don't take me to Paris
On a lover's getaway
It's all right, it's all right
If I'd rather wear your t-shirt
Than a sexy negligee
It's all right, it's all right
Every dinner doesn't have to be candlelit
It's kinda nice to know that it doesn't have to be

Chorus
Perfect
Baby every little piece
Of the puzzle doesn't always fit
Perfectly
Love can be rough around the edges tattered at the seams
But honey if it's good enough for you
It's good enough for me
If your mother doesn't like
The way I treat her baby boy
It's all right, it's all right
If in every wedding picture
My daddy looks annoyed
It's all right, it's all right
Don't you know that all the fairy tales tell a lie
Real love and real life doesn't have to be

Repeat Chorus

You don't mind if I show up late for everything
And when you lose your cool it's kinda cute to me
Ain't it nice to know that we don't have to be

Repeat Chorus

It's good enough for me (perfect)
Yeah good enough for me (perfect)
Good enough for me (perfect)

You say your every day
Is a bad dream that keeps repeatin'
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

How do you like that furnished room, the bed, the chair, the table
The TV pictures goes in and out, too bad you don't have cable
How do you like that paper plate, and those pork-n-beans you're eatin'
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

How do you like that beat up car, I think it's fair we traded
You pick up truck is running fine, it's a cozy ride for datin'
Yes, I've been out a time or two, and found the comfort I've been needin
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

You made your bed and your out of mine
You lie awake and I sleep just fine
You've done your sowing, now you can do your reaping
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

What became of what's her name, after she spent all your money
Did she leave you like you left me, sometimes life is funny
But I'll be glad to take you back, just as soon as I stop breathin
Maybe you should've thought about that
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

(Billy Montana/Tammy Wagoner)

She was in the backyard - they say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up - a white pickup truck
Her folks shoulda seen it comin' - it was only just a matter of time
Plenty old enough - and you can't stop love
She stuck a note on the screen door - "sorry but I got to go"
That was all she wrote - her mama's heart was broke
That was all she wrote - so the story goes

Chorus
Now her daddy's in the kitchen - starin' out the window
Scratchin' and a rackin' his brains
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line
Now don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna preach about Sunday morn
Nothin' quite like this has happened here before
Well he must have been a looker - smooth talkin' son of a gun
For such a grounded girl - to just up and run
Course you can't fence time - and you can't stop love

2nd Chorus
Now all the biddy's in the beauty shop gossip goin' non-stop
Sippin' on pink lemonade
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line

Instrumental

3rd Chorus
She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window
And they're headin' up to Vegas tonight
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line

(Victoria Banks)

We're only human, baby
We walk on broken ground
We lose our way
We come unwound
We'll turn in circles, baby
We're never satisfied
We'll fall from grace
Forget we can fly
But through all the tears that we cried
We'll survive

Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels.

I love your imperfections
I love your everything
Your broken heart, your broken wings
I love you when you hold me
And when you turn away
I love you still and I'm not afraid
Cause I know you feel the same way
And you'll stay

Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels.

These feet of clay (these feet of clay)
They will not stray

Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels.
Saints and angels

There I was ten years old
waiting in my room for him to come home
I just knew he'd be so mad
though I begged my mother not to, she told my dad.
There was no denying I let him down
but instead of being angry
he put his arms around me and said

in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way
whatever road you may be on
no your never too far gone my love is there wherever you may be
just remember that you will always be my baby.

There I was twenty one
oh I was so ashamed of what I'd done
on a country road
parked one night
it started out so innocent
then crossed the line
there was no denying
I let God down
but instead of being angry
he wrapped his arms around me and I heard

in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest rains
I'll always feel the same way
whatever road you may be on
no your never too far gone
my love is there wherever you may be
just remember that you will always be my baby yeah yeah.

There he is my little man
I'm sure he'll get in trouble every now and then
and I pray to god that when he does
I'll be just as understanding
and my father was oh the last thing that I want to do is let him down
so instead of being angry
I'm gonna throw my arms around him and I'll say

in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest rains
I'll always feel the same way whatever road you may be on
noo your never too far gone
my love is there wherever you may be

(Tom Shapiro/Sara Evans/Tony Martin)

Back when I was young
Couldn't wait to grow up
Get away and get out on my own
And looking back now
Ain't it funny how
I've been trying to get back home, yeah

When my low self esteem
Needs a man loving me
And I find me a perfect catch
Then I see my friends
Having wild weekends
Then I don't wanna get quite so attached
Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied
Good is good but could be better

I keep looking, I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
I keep looking
Looking for something more

Well, the straight haired girls
They all want curls
And the brunettes wanna be blonde
It's your typical thing
You got ying you want yang
It just goes on and on
They say, hey, it's only human
To never be satisfied
Well I guess that I'm as human as the next one

Oh, I keep looking
I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
Yeah, I keep looking
Looking for something more

Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied
Hey, good is good but could be better

I keep looking
I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
I keep looking
Looking for something more
Oh, looking for something more

(Sara Evans/Tom Shapiro/Tony Martin)

I can't imagine, any greater fear
Then waking up, without you here,
And though the sun, will still shine on,
My whole world, would all be gone,
But not for long,

If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are,
There's no place that far

It wouldn't matter why we're apart,
Lonely minds or two stubborn hearts
Nothing short of God above
Could turn me away from your love
I need you that much

If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are,
There's no place that far

If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are,
There's no place that far

Baby there's no place that far

I'm gonna do it darlin':
I could waste time tryin' the figure it out,
But I'm jumpin' in anyhow.
I've never been this far;
Didn't know love could run so deep:
Didn't know I'd lose this much sleep.

Holdin' you close, chasin' that moon.
Spinnin' all night,
Lovin' just who you are:
Sparks flyin' in the dark.
Shootin' out lights, huntin' down dreams,
Figurin' out what love really means:
Baby, givin' you my heart,
Is a real fine place to start.

Somethin' is goin' on,
I can't explain but sure can touch:
It's callin' both of us.
Stronger than any fear or doubt,
It's changin' everything I see:
It's changin' you, it's changin' me.

Holdin' you close, chasin' that moon.
Spinnin' all night,
Lovin' just who you are:
Sparks flyin' in the dark.
Shootin' down lights, runnin' down dreams,
Figurin' out what love really means:
Baby, givin' you my heart,
Is a real fine place to start.

Right here, right now's the perfect spot, the perfect time.
The perfect moment when your skin is next to mine.

Instrumental break.

Yeah, yeah:
Holdin' you close, (Holdin' you close.)
Chasin' that moon. (Chasin' that moon.)
Spinnin' all night,
Lovin' just who you are:
Sparks flyin' in the dark.
Shootin' out lights, (Shootin' down lights.)
Runnin' down dreams, (Runnin' down dreams.)
Figurin' out just what love really means:
Baby, givin' you my heart's a real fine place,
Real fine place to start.
Oh yeah.

I can feel you watchin', I can feel your eyes on me
I can hear you whisper and I just get so weak
But I'm a little bit scared, it's been a long time
Since I let my guard down and let someone inside
You don't need to wonder 'cause tonight you'll get it all

When the night closes in, I'm gonna pull you so close
Hold you so tight, gonna let it all go
And you can do what you want, you can take me right here
'Cause I knew from the start I was gonna love you with all my heart

You take my hand now and I'm ready to begin
Though it makes me crazy when your fingers touch my skin
And I know what you want and you know what I need
There's no reason to pretend that we don't know what this means

'Cause when the night closes in, gonna pull you so close
Hold you so tight, gonna let it all go
And you can do what you want, you can take me right here
'Cause I knew from the start I was gonna love you with all my heart

I'm gonna rock you, baby and take away your maybe
And you could rest here in these open arms, yeah

'Cause when the night closes in, gonna pull you so close
Gonna hold you so tight, gonna let it all go
And you can do what you want, you can take me right here
'Cause I knew from the start I was gonna love you with all my heart
Ooh baby, I was gonna love you with all my heart
Ooh yeah, I was gonna love you with all my heart

I can feel you watchin', I can feel your eyes on me

Sometimes I wish I could run
Home to mama's lovin' arms
In the springtime when the weather's fine

Sittin' with her on the porch
Glass of tea and nothin' more
Than her smile, for just a little while

When I don't know where to go
I think of home and how she used to sing to me
She sang

'Que Sera, Sera' life goes on
Whatever's meant to be will always be
And baby, what don't kill you will make you strong
Just love the journey that you're on
In all you do, I'll pray for you

Wild horses and fairy tales
Sometimes turn into somethin' else
That you never saw comin' at you at all

So I guess I'm callin' just because
He wasn't who I thought he was
And I can't believe he stopped lovin' me

So when I'm feelin' all alone
I think of home and how you used to sing to me

'Que Sera, Sera' life goes on
Whatever's meant to be will always be
And baby, what don't kill you will make you strong
Just love the journey that you're on
In all you do, I'll pray for you

I got babies of my own
And I'm the one they're countin' on
To be here for every little tear, and I'll sing

'Que Sera, Sera' life goes on
Whatever's meant to be will always be
And baby, what don't kill you will make you strong
Just love the journey that you're on
In all you do, I'll pray for you
In all you do, I'll pray for you

She gets up every mornin' while everyone's in bed
Starts the coffee, makes the breakfast for all those sleepy-heads
Yeah, yeah, some things never change

He comes in all dressed for work sayin', "Baby, I love you"
Gotta go, even though it's not what he wants to do
But he does it, some things never change

In a world that keeps turnin' and movin' so fast
When you can't hold on to nothin' and nothin' seems to last
It's so good to know that love still remains
Ain't you glad that some things never change?

Three o'clock every afternoon waitin' by the door
Sees her babies are runnin' off the bus, she couldn't love 'em any more
Yeah, yeah, oh, some things never change

Like when I'm lyin' next to you, well, I remember when
Your kisses made me crazy so beautiful back then
And I still feel the same, yeah, some things never change

In a world that keeps turnin' and movin' so fast
When you can't hold on to nothin' and nothin' seems to last
It's so good to know that love still remains
Ain't you glad that some things never change?

Yeah, same as the sun keeps risin'
Yeah, every day someone is findin' love
Oh yeah

In a world that keeps turnin' and movin' so fast
When you can't hold on to nothin' and nothin' seems to last
It's so good to know that love still remains

Oh, when the world that keeps turnin' and movin' so fast
When you can't hold on to nothin' and nothin' seems to last
And it's sure good to know that love still remains
Oh, ain't you glad that some things never change? Yeah
Oh, ain't you glad that some things never change?
Ooh, oh, some things never change
