(Trey Bruce / Russell Smith)
I remember how it used to feel
Ridin' down ol' two mile hill
Tennis shoes up on the handlebars
Payin' no mind to them passin' cars
No doubts, no fears
Just like when you are here
Chorus:
No chains, no strings
No fences, no walls
No net, just you
To catch me when I fall
Look heart, no hands
Took a little time to get up to speed
To find the confidence and strength I'd need
To just let go and reach for the sky
You know, sometimes it felt I could fly
No doubts, no fears
Just like when you are here
Chorus
It doesn't take much
Just a smile or a touch
And I'm a kid again
I can almost feel that wind
Chorus
Look heart, no hands

You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
You may wonder how I can promise
you now
This love that I feel for you
Always will be
You're not just time that I'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live
This love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die
Oh baby
Chorus:
I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about
the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about
old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
(I'll be happy to tell you again / Just listen
to how this song ends)
I'm gonna love you
Forever and ever
Forever and ever amen
They say time takes its toll on a body
Makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray
Well, honey, I don't care
I ain't in love with your hair
And if it all fell out
I'd love you anyway
Well, they say time can play tricks on
a memory
Make people forget things they knew
Well, it's easy to see
It's happening to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you
Oh baby

There's my easy chair, just sitting there
I've spent a lot of time
Thinking of this perfect love
I know is yours and mine
h how I love that old picture on the wall
Of you and me and the kids
My most favorite times in life I've spent
Right here where we've lived
Chorus:
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
It just hit me as I was leaving
There's no place like home
From the bedroom I smell perfume
My favorite kind you wore
And it brings back memories of all
those nights
Behind our bedroom door
The saddest thing I think I've ever seen
Was my closet all cleaned out
It's sad to think that one must leave
Cause we can't work things out
Chorus
So baby, say that I can stay, for just a day
Ol' SO
Then maybe I can change your mind and I
won't have to go
Just look into these baby blues
And tell me it's okay
I love that smile, it drives me wild
No love won't die today

Being without you has turned out to be so
inconvenient
And wishing I was with you just seems to
use up all my time
You've been gone so long that it's hard
to recall
Just how the dream went
And all but this broken heart in me I guess
is doing fine
Chorus:
Is it still over, are we still through
Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume it
still ain't you
I've half a mind to take the time to find
sornebody new
But I'm not too sure that I'm still over you
That lie that I tried to slip by you
Was told with good intentions
It was just another way to say I love you
And protect you from the truth
Half a pound of cure is surely worth a half
an ounce of pure prevention
And trying to explain while I'm insane
Is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do
Chorus
If I repeat myself it's cause I've nothing else
to do
And I'm not too sure that I'm still over you

He wore starched white shirts buttoned at
the neck
He'd sit in the shade and watch the
chickens peck
His teeth were gone but what the heck
I thought that he walked on water
Said he was a cowboy when he was young
Could handle a rope and he was good with
a gun
And my momma's daddy was his
oldest son
And I thought that he walked on water
If the story is told only heaven knows
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo
And though his wings they were
never seen
I thought that he walked on water
He tied a cord to the end of a mop
Said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot"
I'd ride in circles while he laughed a lot
Then I'd flop down beside him
He was ninety years old in '63
I loved him and he loved me
Lord I cried the day he died
Cause I thought that he walked on water

I know I sent you packin'
But now I want you back again
Livin' without you ain't no livin' at all
How I miss your naggin'
And your tongue a-waggin'
And the crash of the coffee cup up against
the bedroom wall
In the kitchen early in the mornin'
Midnight walkin' the floor
Without your cryin', cussin' and
your moanin'
Home ain't home anymore
Chorus:
So come on, honey
Come home and spend my money
Come back, mama, and take another swing
at me
I told my friends how I sent you runnin'
Cause you didn't do me right
But if I looked up and saw you comin'
You could do me wrong all night

Cheap perfume and painted faces
Fallin' angels fill the places
Where I go when my troubles pull
me down
All the lies I know they'll tell me
And the time that they will sell me
For awhile I'll be the biggest man in town
Back at home in bed she's cryin'
For her love for me is dyin'
But she'll pray I make it safely through
the night
When the mornin' sun starts showin'
To her bedside I'll be goin'
And she'll hold me while I face the
mornin' light
And I'll make promises
Promises to change
I'll make her promises
Swear I'll rearrange
And I'll start givin'
All the love she needs
If only she will stay
Once again she'll reassure me
And I believe her love will cure me
And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face
And I know she's just a woman
And her love can't last forever
And someday soon I know she'll leave
without a trace
For broken promises
Will tear her dreams apart
Just token prornises
Will someday break her heart
And for the last time
She'll hold me when I cry
And while I'm sleepin'
She'll quietly say goodbye

Last night I dug your picture out from our
old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and I talked to it
till four
I read some old love letters right up till the
break of dawn
Yeah, I've been sittin' alone diggin'
up bones
Then I went through the jewelry and I found
our wedding rings
I put mine on my finger and I gave yours
a fling
Across this lonely bedroom of our recent
broken home
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin'
up bones
Chorus:
I'm diggin' up bones
I'm diggin' up bones
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting mem'ries of a love that's
dead and gone
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone
Oiggin' up bones
Then I went through the closet and I found
some things in there
Like that pretty negligee that I bought you to
wear
And I recalled how good you looked each
time you had it on
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin'
up bones

You're my always and forever
You're the one that hung the moon
After all these nights together
I still get lost in your perfume
And if I could write a love song
Every line would tell the truth
It would be a warm and soft one
And my heart would say to you
Chorus:
When you see me walk on water
When the sea don't reach the shore
When the fires of hell freeze over
I won't need you anymore
Oh the feelings lay so easy
Lying here the way we are
No one else could ever hold me
Like the heavens hold the stars

Someday, someway
You'll realize that you've been blind
Yes darling, you're going to need me again
It's just a matter of time
Go on, go on
Until you roach the end of the line
But I know you'll pass this way again
It's just a matter of time
After I gave you everything I had
You laughed arid called me a clown
Remember in your search for fortune
and fame
What goes up must come down
I know, I know
That one day you'll wake up and find
That my love was a true love
It's just a matter of time
(Randy Travis)
Once upon a time in our life
We held the key to every door
And all that I desired
Was you forevermore
I found love in a heart
Once broken far beyond repair
And you restored a soul
That had forgotten how to care
Everything we needed
Was at our beckon call
With you and I together
We could conquer all
When I needed badly
To be cheered up for awhile
You were there
And all you had to do was simply smile
And holding things together
Was so easy for us to do
For you could turn to me for help
And I could turn to you
And jealousy was something
That never entered our hearts
For we were made for one another
No matter where we are
When things were at their darkest
I could hold you next to me
And I knew all would be okay
For you were strong when I was weak
So given every chance for me
To start my life anew
There'd be no question
I'd do it all again with you
