Rocking Horse
(reminds me of JUST Sara)
Verse one:
the rocking horse came
from a old oak tree
just missed the house it was hit by lightning
my daddy painted that horse a midnight blue
shooting stars, silver horse shoes
and it was something magic out of something frightening (chorus)
Chorus:
Thats how I live my life
I take it as it comes
and I find the healing love
when its pouring down on me
in my mind I see the rocking horse inside the tree
Verse two:
a broken heart means deeper feelings
a thorn in the flesh means room for healing
oh salt in your tears can open your eyes
oh wounded years makes you realize
that is just something magic out of something frightening (chorus)
ooh things arent always as they seem
ooh take the nightmare from my dreams (chorus to end)
******************************************
Restless
(another Sara song)
Verse one:
I'm a leaf on a river falling from a tall oak tree
drifting down this moving stream wherever this life carries me
I'm a tumbleweed in a desert wind just tumbling
while the suns shining
I have no boundaries
call me a gypsy (chorus)
Chorus:
I'm restless
Just rambling
what do you do
where do you go
when nowhere feels like home
I'm restless
Verse two:
Am I an angel fallen from heavens grace oh it feels like that somedays
when I cant find my place
I guess God just made some of us to live and die by highway dust
I guess I just have to trust
on the days I'm crawling
this is my calling (chorus)
Bridge:
oh to hold somebody close that cares
oh to finally find some roots somewhere
I know someday i'll find it its out there
but until then I'll just keep moving
Intrumental
Chorus to end

Niagara
(NS reminds me of "Feeling the Heat")
Verse one:
Standing at the edge of this cliff
gravity being what it is
i'm afraid that I Might stumble cause i've never been this high
and i'm so carried away by this place
and the simple beauty of your face
and the walls start to crumble
and I'm helpless to fight (chorus)
Chorus:
cause you cant ask the sun not to shine
and no ones ever found a way to stall time
oh baby its unstoppable I cant resist at all
and I would never try to slow down the wind
baby it just has to be what it is
and asking me not to love you is like asking Niagara not to fall
Verse two:
I cant worry my heart with what if
oh maybe I should just give in
and wrap myself around you
and let you take me down
take me down (chorus)
Instrumental
Chorus
End:
Rain Rain Rain down on me
wash wash wash wash over me
fall fall fall in to me
******************************
Perfect
verse one:
If you dont take me to paris on a lovers get away its alright
its alright
if I'd rather wear your tshirt then a sexy neglige its alright
its alright
every dinner doesnt have to be candlelit
its kind of nice to know that it doesnt have to be (chorus)
Chorus:
Perfect
baby every little piece of the puzzle doesnt always fit
perfectly
life can be rough around the edges
tattered at the seams
honey if its good enough for you its good enough for me
Verse two:
If your mother doesnt like the way I treat her baby boy
its alright its alright
if in every wedding picture My daddy looks annoyed
its alright
its alright
dont you know that all the fairy tales tell a lie
real love and real life doesnt have to be (chorus)
Bridge:
oh you dont mind if I show up late for everything
when you lose your cool its kinda cute to me
aint it nice to know that we dont have to be (chorus to end)
*************************
Need to be Next to you
Verse one:
Been running from these feelings for so long
telling my Heart I didnt need you
pretending that I was better off alone
but I know that its just a lie
so afraid to take that chance again
so afraid of what I feel inside (chorus)
Chorus:
cause i need to be next to you
I Need to share every breath with you
I need to know I can see your smile eachother morning
look into your eyes each night for the rest of my life
hear with you near with you
oh I need to be next to you
Verse two:
right here with you is where I belong
I'll lose my mind if I cant see you
without you there is nothing in this life that would make my life worth living for
cant bear the thought of you not there
cant fight what I feel anymore (chorus)
Bridge:
I need to have your heart next to mine
for all time
Oh love you for all of my life (chorus to end)
**********************************
To Be Happy
Verse one:
If I had one wish
I would wish for two
for me and You to be Happy
with the way things are
sometimes gets hard
but we've come so far to be happy (chorus)
Chorus:
yeah dont think that i'm complainin
sometimes it keeps on raining
oh but dont be frightened by thunder and lightning
the sun comes up and the flowers grow
and you find you're already on the road to be happy
Verse two:
if I had one prayer to pull out thin air
everyone everywhere would be happy
we'd hand out valentines
i'd be sures youd be mine
theres a place
theres a time to be Happy (chorus)
Bridge:
We fuss and we fight
we cant see the light
we wake up and decide
we dont need to be right
to be Happy
Intrumental
Chorus to end

Tonight
Verse one:

you sure found it tonight
some hidden desperation
You saw floating in my eyes
Moments just like these

Long as I can

no dont wanna go home tonight (chorus)
Chorus:
so lay me down easy
hold on tight

Oh wants to be a saint

oh one understands the pain
and I dont know whats wrong baby
and I sure dont know whats right
but I dont wanna go home tonight (chorus)

Otis Redding
Verse one:
fireflies are out tonight

I talked to you this afternoon
you said you didnt have very much to do
I said i'd be here
I said
come on over

Verse two
otis redding makes me feel good
dancing in the kitchen barefoot
all the windows up just cant get enough
headlights on my front lawn I guess it didnt take you very long to decided
come on over
come on in
come inside baby (repeat)
theres just something about the way (chorus)
Chorus:
the way you talk to me
you give just what i need
and when you come around My feet cant find the ground
I"m losing myself like a drop in the rain
you twist me up like a hurricane
I cant stand up for falling down
so come on up
come on in I like it when you come around
Verse three:
a minute ago there were a million stars
and now its soaking wet out in my backyard
lets take cover baby
You just wanna run around in the rain
you make me laugh like a kid again
loud and crazy baby
theres just something about the way (chorus)
instrumental

Give in
Verse one:
when I look at you

because you turn more then the music on
but will you be there by my side at the dawn (chorus)
chorus:
then I'll say
alright I give in
I will dance with you just this one time
and all night we will turn and spin
then stand eye to eye at the sunrise
and you offer love
and it all begins
when I say I "alright I give in"
Verse two:

and if I pray for you will You know that i believe in every word
You build me a house on stone
will You promise me I"m never gonna be alone (chorus)
Instrumental
Bridge:
You turn more then the music on
but will you be there by my side at the dawn (chorus to end)

Suds in the Bucket
(this reminds me of Sara if you dont take the words literal)
Verse one:
She was in the backyard say it was little past nine
when her prince pulled up a white pick up truck
her folks should have seen it coming it was only just a matter of time
plenty old enough and you cant stop love
she stuck a note on the screen door "sorry but I got to go"
that was all she wrote her momma's heart was broke
that was all she wrote so the story goes (chorus)
Chorus:
Now her daddies in the kitchen staring out the window
scratching and racking 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 hanging out on the line
Verse two:
now dont you wonder what the preachers gonna preach about sunday morn
nothing quite like this has happened here before
well he must have been a looker a smooth talking son of a gun
for such a grounded girl to just up and run
course you cant fence time and you cant stop love (chorus)
Chorus:
Now all the biddies in the beauty shop
gossip going non stop sipping on pink lemonade
How could 18 years just up and walk away
our little ponytailed 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 hanging out on the line
Instrumental
Chorus:
she's got her pretty little barefeet hanging out the window
and they're headed out of Vegas tonight
how could 18 years just up and walk away
our little pony tailed girl growed up to be a woman
and she's gone in the blink of an eye
she left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hanging out on the line
she left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hanging out on the line
End:
She was in the backyard say it was a little past nine
when her prince pulled up a white pick up truck
plenty old enough
and you cant stop love
no you cant fence time
