Count me in

Could there be a different ending
To the same old story
Cause you're not the first to say
You're gonna be there for me
I need to know what's in your heart
Can you finish what you start
How can I be sure I won't be sorry

If heartaches and tears and shadows of doubt
Are part of the deal, you can count me out
But if you're talking about a game I can win
You can count me in

When you tell me you're the one
I've always needed
You don't know how much I'm wanting
To believe it
But I've heard it all before
Now I'm needing something more
A promise is no good if you can't keep it

If heartaches and tears and shadows of doubt
Are part of the deal, you can count me out
But if you're talking about a game I can win
You can count me in

Did I shave my legs for this?

Flowers and wine
Is what I thought I would find
When I came home from workin' tonight
Well now here I stand
Over this frying pan
And you want a cold one again

I bought these new heels
Did my nails
Had my hair done just right
I thought this new dress
Was a sure bet
For romance tonight

Well it's perfectly clear
Between the t.v. and beer
I won't get so much as a kiss
As I head for the door
I turn around to be sure
"Did I shave my legs for this?"

Now when we first met
You promised we'd get
A house on the hill with a pool
But this trailer stays wet
And we're swimming in debt
Now you want me to go back to school

I bought these new heels
Did my nails
Had my hair done just right
I thought this new dress
Was a sure bet
For romance tonight
Well it's perfectly clear
Between the t.v. and beer
I won't get so much as a kiss

As I head for the door
I turn around to be sure
"Did I shave my legs for this?
Darling, did I shave my legs for this?"

How do I get there

We've always been the best of friends
No secrets and no demands
But suddenly from out of the blue
I see a different light around you
One thing I haven't told you,
I just want to hold you
And never let go,
I just want to know

How do I get there from here
How do I make you see
How do I tell you what my heart's been tellin' me
Lost in your lovin' arms
that's where I want to be
You know I love you
How do I get there

You probably think I've lost my mind
Takin' this chance crossin' that line
But I promise to be truer than true
Dreaming every night with these arms around you
I can't wait any longer this feeling's gettin' stronger
help me find a way

How do I get there from here
How do I make you see
How do I tell you what my heart's been tellin' me
Lost in your lovin' arms
that's where I want to be
You know I love you
How do I get there

I know the shortest distance between two points is a straight line
But I'll climb any mountain that you want me to climb
The perfect combination is your heart and mine
Darlin' won't you give me a sign

How do I get there from here
How do I make you see
How do I tell you what my heart's been tellin' me
Lost in your lovin' arms
that's where I want to be
You know I love you
How do I get there

I've loved enough to know

I hear what you're telling me but that don't make it so
Two timing talking sweet from the time your feet hit the floor
My heart is telling me it's time to let you go
Oh baby let go...

I've loved enough to know
A heartache when I see one coming
Been down this road before
I've loved enough to know

Every night out with the boys You think i'm so naive
I know excatly where you're going every time you leave
I see every little something up your sleeve
Oh baby I can see

I've loved enough to know
A heartache when I see one coming
Been down this road before
I've loved enough to know

I've loved enough to know
A heartache when I see one coming
Been down this road before
I've loved enough to know

Love Ain't worth making

Why did you have to forsake me
Couldn't you tell me goodbye
I've been waking up lately with tears in my eyes

Love Ain't worth making when it makes you the fool
A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
when she's holding you

You don't know how happy you made me
Couldn't you give it one more try
I know her arms are waiting to hold yoou tonight

Love Ain't worth making when it makes you the fool
A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
when she's holding you

So go on and pack up whats left
Of all that we shared
You're leaving me lonely tonight

Love Ain't worth making when it makes you the fool
A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
when she's holding you

Strawberry wine

He was working through college on my grandpa's farm.
I was thirsting for knowledge and he had a car.
I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child.
When one restless summer we found love growing wild.
On the banks of the river on a well beaten path.
It's funny how those memories they last.
Like strawberry wine and seventeen.
The hot July moon saw everything.
My first taste of love oh bittersweet.
Green on the vine.
Like strawberry wine.

I still remember when thirty was old.
And my biggest fear was September when he had to go.
A few cards and letters and one long distance call.
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall.
But year after year I come back to this place.
Just to remember the taste.
Of strawberry wine and seventeen.
The hot July moon saw everything.
My first taste of love oh bittersweet.
Green on the vine.
Like strawberry wine.

The fields have grown over now.
Years since they've seen the plow.
There's nothing time hasn't touched.
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence.
I've been missing so much.
Like strawberry wine and seventeen.
The hot July moon saw everything.
My first taste of love oh bittersweet.
Green on the vine.
Like strawberry wine.

That's how you know it's love

If you get out in the drivin' rain
Stand in the eye of a hurricane
And never think twice
If you turn your back on selfishness
And your thoughts are for someone else
'Cause they've changed your life

That's how you know it's love
That's how you know it's meant to be
When the span of forever just never seems long enough
That's how you know it's love

When your heart insists that you give it all
When you no longer feel the fall
And you just let go
When the past is finally dead and gone
Fate leads you somewhere to the one
That has your soul

That's how you know it's love
That's how you know it's meant to be
When the span of forever just never seems long enough
That's how you know it's love

No part of you questions
No part of you doubts
You're only sure this is what love's about
And nothing and no one
Can stand in your way
Or keep you from sayin' what your heart is dyin' to say

That's how you know it's love
That's how you know it's meant to be
When the span of forever just never seems long enough
That's how you know it's love

To the other side

Everyday seems I turn another page
And it feels like the heartache fades a little more away
Look in the mirror and I like what I see
Hey you didn't take that much baby out of me

Something proud and something strong
Fills the absence of a memory that's dead and gone

CHORUS
I do believe I'm crossing over
Feel that weight come off my shoulder
I close my eys and I drift closer to the other side
Lord I swear I'm crossing over
Found the strength to let you go and
The thought of you is getting colder
And further from my mind
And I think I crossed that line
To the other side

Lately I find when I'm walking through town
I don't have to turn away
I don't have to look down
If I should see you with somebody new
Well I might get sentimental
But I'll make it through
Something real and something right
Puts the shadow of a doubt
In a different light

I do believe I'm crossing over
Feel that weight come off my shoulder
I close my eyes
And drift closer to the other side
Lord I swear I'm crossing over
Found the strength to let you go and
The thought of you is getting colder
And further from my mind
And I think I crossed that line
To the other side.
