Settle For Everything

When she drives away when she takes that turn I know she'll be gone
And she won't look back so she'll never know this time she was wrong
I tried all night long but nothing I said
Would make her turn east when she's headed west
But I'd give her my hand I'd give her my heart
I'd give her my coat when the cold weather starts
I'd spend every dollar I got on a diamond ring
I'd give her my dreams fulfilled or undone
And pull down the stars in the sky one by one
But she won't settle for everything


If it's somewhere else always someone new then the locking's what you love
And you're sure to find a lonely life if you look long enough
I can still taste goodbye in that last tender kiss wondering why it ended like this
I'd give her my hand...

There's nothing on earth no more I can say her love may be gone it faded away
I'd give her my hand...

Oh no she won't settle for everything

He Makes Me Want Her Again

There is something in her smile everyone loves so much
No matter what she wears she looks like a million bucks
The woman's so graceful so much in love he makes me want her again
She's made it all work out the way it was meant to be
The trouble with doin' that is not doin'that with me
He makes her happy he makes her whole and he makes me want her again
Whatever he's made of makes her so sure
Cause he makes the dream I had for us come true for her

She's such a perfect mom the boy's almost half her size
He thinks he looks like her but I know he's got my eyes
He is an angel but he breaks my heart cause he makes me want her again
Whatever he's made of...
He makes her happy he breaks my heart he makes me want her again

Today

It started with one look kept on getting stronger
What I've been holding back won't be held back any longer
Let me say to you what my heart's been longing to
Every night I've dreamed about you every day tried to make it come true
Every star shining up in heaven reminds me of you
Every road I've ever taken every choice I've ever made
Has lead me right here to you today

I been afraid to tell you didn't know how you'd react
With all this love I have to give couldn't go on feeling like that
Now my silence is broken and it's left my heart wide open
Every night I've dreamed about you...

No nothing's in my way no more running no more hiding no I'm not afraid
Every night I've dreamed about you...

Everybody Knows

She comes to me and steals my attention in the most unexpected times
She's always in my head she haunts me in a good way
I never tire of any things she ever does hanging on to every move because
Everybody knows everyone can see everything she's done take a look at me
She took shades of gray and turned them into colors
And I can finally see tonight what everybody knows
What everybody knows

She's the most fabulous distraction always turns my head
She's shinin' like the sun and it's corona and brings it back to bed
I'm fascinated by every little thing she does she's taken me so far from what I was
Everybody knows everyone can see...

I struggle for the words the perfect line but no matter what I say I can't define
What everybody knows...
She took shades of gray...

How Much Do You Love Me

She ran down from the upstairs
She burst into the room
Said: "Dad,I'm playin' dinosaurs
"Do you wanna be one too?"
I set my grown-up world aside
An said: "I'll be right there"
She stopped to ask this question
When we were halfway up the stairs

"How much do you love me?"
"How much do you really care?"
I touched heart,spread my wings,and said:
"All the way to there"

She called me from a party late
One night,her junior year
And bravely gave an address
Through the stories and the tears
She was sittin' on the porch steps
As I pulled up to the curb
I could see the question in her eyes
She asked without a word

"How much do you love me?"
"How much do you really care?"
I touched heart,spread my wings,and said:
"All the way to there"

It's the simple things that matter most
In everybod's life
Sometimes juest knowin' that you're really loved
Makes everything all right
Children grow and years go by
Moms and dads get grey
Little girl's get married
And give their dinosaurs away
They'll live their grown up lives and call
Their daddies now and then
And from a thousand miles away
I'll hear her on the stairs again

"How much do you love me?"
"How much do you really care?"
I touched heart,spread my wings,and said:
"All the way to there"

We'll touch our hearts,spread our arms and say:
All the way to there

Sanctuary

It's been way too long since I spoke my confession
My heart has a burden I hope you will listen
Oh you're my sanctuary
Despite the road we've chosen to the wilderness I roamed
But there I found no shelter like a prodigal son I've come back home
To my sanctuary
Well I believe you're the faith when there's a shadow of doubt
You're the prayer that mother's whisper each night for their sons everywhere
And your love is the gift that you give when you let me in
You're my sanctuary

I'm standin' out here knockin' knockin' at your door
I miss our sweet communion loves mercy's brought me back for more
Oh you're such a mystery how you make my spirit soar you're my sanctuary
Well I believe you're the faith...
[ guitar ]
Well I believe you're the faith...

I Promise You

After all that we've been through
I can't believe it's me alone here with you
Every touch tells me it's real
And the words don't come close or say how I feel

(I promise you) I promise you I'll never give up on us
(I promise you) I promise you always the best of my love
(I promise you) I'll be the one you can turn to because
If your wishes fall through I'll still promise you my love

With everything your heart can hold
And all the whispered words you've never been told
This is where we belong in love from now on
(I promise you) I promise you...

It took a little time to see what should have been perfectly clear
Now I can't believe I spent one minute without you here
(I promise you) I promise you...
(I promise you) I promise you...
