ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL
I know when we've been on your mind
That distant look is in your eyes
I thought with time you realized
It's over, over
It's not the way I choose to live
And something somewhere's got to give
As sharing this relationship gets older older
You know I'd fight for you
But how I can fight someone who isn't even there
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you
I don't care if that's not fair
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never...
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
There are times it seems to me
I'm sharing you with memories
I feel it in my heart
But I don't show it show it
And then there's times you look at me
As though I'm all that you can see
Those times I don't believe its right
I know it, know it
Don't me make me promises
Baby you never did know how to keep them well
I've had the rest of you
Now I want the best of you
It's time for show and tell
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never...
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
Cause you and I could lose it
If you've got no more room
In sight of me in your life
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
It's now or never
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never...
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me with nothing at all.
THIS I PROMISE YOU
When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's all gone
The one you should call
Was standing here all along
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun
Just close your eyes
Each lovin' day
And know this feeling won't go away
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
Over and over I fall
When I hear you call
Without you in my life, baby
I just wouldn't be living at all
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you, baby
Just close your eyes
Each lovin' day
And know this feeling won't go away
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
I promise you
IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
So I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute or two to stop and say
"I Love You," Instead of assuming, then you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can't let this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight,
And we always get a second chance to make everything right.
There will always be another day to say our "I Love You's."
And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?"
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love and I hope we never forget,
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may not be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.
So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
And you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear,
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank You," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS
It must of been cold there in my shadow
To never have some light on your face
You were content to let me shine
That's your way
You always walked a step behind
So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name
For so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have a beautiful unknowing
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth
Of course I know it
I would be nothing without you
You're everything I wish I could be
Did I ever tell you your my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be
Oh, and I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings...
INSIDE
Bottled up inside
Are the words I never said,
The feelings that I hide,
The lines you never read.
You can see it in my eyes,
Read it on my face
Trapped inside are lies
Of the past I can't replace.
With memories that linger
Won't seem to go away
Why can't today be happier?
Today's a brand-new day.
Yesterday's are over,
Even though the hurting's not.
Nothing lasts forever,
I must cherish what I've got.
Don't take my love for granted,
For soon it will be gone
All you ever wanted
Of the love you thought you'd won.
The hurt I'm feeling now
Won't disappear overnight,
But someway, somehow,
Everything will turn out right,
No more wishing for the past.
It wasn't meant to be.
It didn't seem to last,
So I have to set him free.
CONFUSED
My knees start to shake,
When you're in sight.
My mind is filled with wonder,
My heart with fright.
When will this feeling stop?
How did it start?
How can I listen to my mind,
Without breaking my heart?
I'm so confused.
What should I do?
I can't think of anything,
Except you.
Should I ignore you,
Or just give it time?
I can't think straight,
My heart controls my mind.
I NEED YOU NOW
My friend, I need you now
Please take me by the hand.
Stand by me in my hour of need,
Take time to understand.
Take my hand, dear friend,
And lead me from this place.
Chase away my doubts and fears,
Wipe the tears from off my face.
Friend, I can not stand alone.
I need your hand to hold,
The warmth of your gentle touch
In my world that's grown so cold.
Please be a friend to me
And hold me day by day.
Because with your loving hand in mine,
I know we'll find the way.
MOONLIGHT RIDE
Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life,
'twas on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things
with such great ease.
As she watched her new curtains
blow in the breeze.
How wonderful it was to have her own room.
School would be starting,
she'd have friends over soon.
There'd be sleep-overs, and parties;
she was so happy
It's just the way she wanted
her life to be.
On the first day of school,
everything went great.
She made new friends
and even got a date!
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,
Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"
To be known in this school you had to have a clout,
And dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young to date.
"Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.
Her parents frowned but said, "All right."
Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed
around like she she had no sense,
She began to feel gulity about all of the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?
Well the pizza was good,
and the party was great,
But the moonlight ride would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time,
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.
Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.
They finally made it to the point at last,
and Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(and by a pass, I don't mean playing football.)
"Perhaps my parents were right...maybe I am too young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."
With all of her might,
she pushed Jeff away:
"Please take me home, I don't want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.
In a matter of seconds, they were going too fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger,
She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he just got faster as they neared the town.
"Just let me get home!" I'll confess that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride."
Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden went black.
She felt someone remove her from the
twisted, rubble,
And heard, "Call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!"
Voices she heard...a few words at best.
But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,
And if the people in the other car were alive.
She awoke in the
hospital to faces so sad.
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head,
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said, "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car!?" Jenny cried
"We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that's it's my fault so many have died.
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell that for me?"
The nurse just stood there-she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes
And a few moments laster Jenny died.
A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best
to bid that girl her one last request?"
She looked at the man with eyes oh so sad.
"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."
MYSELF
I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know
I want to be able as days go by
Always to look myself straight in the eye;
I don't want to stand, with the setting sun,
And hate myself for things I have done.
I don't want to keep on a closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself, as I come and go,
Into thinking that nobody else will know
The kind of man I really am;
I don't want to dress myself up in sham.
I want to go out eith my head erect,
I want to deserve all woman's respect;
And here in the struggle for fame and wealth,
I want to be able to like myself.
I don't want to look at myself and know
That I am a bluffer, an empty show.
I can never hide myself from me:
I see what others may never see,
I know what others may never know;
I never can fool myself, and so,
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and guilt free.
CHANGES
"Friends forever," you promised.
"Together till the end."
We did everything with each other.
You were my best friend.
When I was sad, you were by my side.
When I was scared, you felt my fear.
You were my best support-
If I needed you, you were there.
You were the greatest friend,
you always knew what to say:
You made everything seem better.
As long as we had each other.
Everything would be okay.
But somewere along the line,
We slowly came apart.
I was here, you were there,
It tore a hole in my heart.
Things were changing,
Our cheerful music reversed its tune.
It was like having salt without pepper,
A sun without its moon.
Suddenly we were miles apart,
Two different people, with nothing the same.
It was as if we hadn't been friends;
Although we knew deep in our hearts
Neither one of us was to blame.
You had made many new friends
And luckily, so had I
But that didn't change the hurt-
The loss of our friendship made me cry.
As we grow older, things must change
But they don't always have to end.
Even though it is different, now,
You will always be my friend.
I PROMISE THAT I WILL LOVE YOU
I cannot promise you that
I will not change
I cannot promise you that
I will not have many different moods
I cannot promise you that
I will not hurt your feelings sometimes
I cannot promise you that
I will not be erratic
I cannot promise you that
I will always be strong
I cannot promise you that
my faults will not show
But-
I do promise you that
I will always be supportive of you
I do promise you that
I will share all my thoughts
and feelings with you
I do promise you that
I will give you freedom to be yourself
I do promise you that
I will understand everything that you do
I do promise you that
I will be completely honest with you
I do promise you that
I will laugh and cry with you
I do promise you that
I will help you achieve all your goals
But-
most of all
I do promise you that
I will love you
IT'S TOUGH TO BE A TEENAGER
It's tough to be a teenager, no one really knows
What the pressure is like in school, this is how it goes.
I wake up every morning, and stare into this face
I wanna be good lookin', but I feel like a disgrace.
My friends they seem to like me, if I follow through with their dare,
But when I try to be myself, they never seem to care.
My mom, well she keeps saying, I gotta make the grade
While both my parents love me, it slowly seems to fade.
It seems like everyone I know is trying to be so cool
And every time I try, I end up just a fool.
I've thought about taking drugs, I really don't want to you know
But I just don't fit in, and it's really starting to show.
Maybe if I could make the team, I'll stand out in the crowd
If they could see how hard I try, I know they would be proud.
You see I'm still a virgin, my friends they can't find out
'Cause if they really knew the truth, I know they'd laugh and shout.
Sometimes I really get so low, I want to cash it in
My problems really aren't so bad, if I think of how life's been.
Sometimes I'm really lost, and wonder what to do
I wonder where to go, who can I talk to.
It's tough to be a teenager, sometimes life's not fair
I wish I had somewhere to go, and someone to CARE.

THE DANCE
Looking back on the memory of
The Dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How was I to know that you'd ever say good-bye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
If I'd only know how the king would fall
Well then who's to say I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-7
Love is patient and kind;
Love is not jealous, or conceited, or proud;
Love is not ill-mannered, or selfish, or irritable;
Love does not keep a record of wrongs;
Love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth.
Love never gives up:
Its faith, hope, and patience never fail.
GRADUATION
So we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out 'cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now 'cause you don't have another day
'Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know how much of love but it came too soon
And there was me and you and when we got real blue
We'd stay at home talking on the telephone
And we would get so excited and we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels...
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever,
We will still be friends forever
So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back at now will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school
Still be trying to break every single rule?
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not good-bye
Keep on thinking it's our time to fly
And this is how it feels...
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever,
We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round
Will these memories fade when I leave this town?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not good-bye
Keep on thinking it's our time to fly
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever,
We will still be friends forever
