//Take Me Home

v1:
I was hurt so bad
by a pain I’ve never felt before.
I collapsed to the ground
And it was solid
And it was warm
And it was safe.

But you came along
And you made me move,
You made me move.
You took my hand,
You took my hand,
And led me away.

c:
The rain came down,
but you only held my hand tighter.
The rain came down,
but you just gave me your sweater.
The rain came down,
And you took me home.

v2:
I wanted to run away,
get away from all my
millions of problems,
And you nodded.
And you squeezed my hand.
And you understood.

But you came along
And you made me move,
You made me move.
You took my hand,
You took my hand,
And led me away.

c:
The rain came down,
but you only held my hand tighter.
The rain came down,
but you just gave me your sweater.
The rain came down,
And you took me home.

b:
You were the one who took my hand,
You were the one who made me stand,
You were the one, always the one.

c:
The rain came down,
but you only held my hand tighter.
The rain came down,
but you just gave me your sweater.
The rain came down,
And you took me home.

And you took me home.
You were my home.

//One Day


v1:
You were so cold that morning
and I didn't know what to do.
You were in the arms of someone else
and they were the only one you saw.
You looked at them
and I wish I was the one,
your one.

c1:
But one day I hope
that you'll be with me again.
That when you look into my eyes
you'll see your love reflected there.
You'll hold me tight
and I'll never, never let you go.

v2:
You were so cold that morning
and I didn't know what to do.
I wanted to shake you,
wanted to yell at you,
anything to make you
acknowledge me.

c1:
But one day I hope
that you'll be with me again.
That when you look into my eyes
you'll see your love reflected there.
You'll hold me tight
and I'll never, never let you go.

b:
But has it been too long now
for second chances and second beginnings?
Can't we go back to how it used to be?

c2:
And I don't know
if you'll be with me again.
Don't know if you'll look into my eyes
and is your love even still there?
Don't know if you'll hold me tight.
Oh, why did I, why did I,
why did I let you go?
"One day"... I hope it comes.

//My Best Friend

v1:
I met someone new today.
Had to get all dressed up
with pink ribbons in my hair.
My shoes so shiny,
and brushed my teeth
a million times.

pc:
Who knew one meeting could
mean so much?
Who knew one meeting could
change my life?

c1:
He's my best friend,
the one to take my hand and run
the one to turn my world upside down.
He's my best friend.

v2:
I met someone amazing that day.
We laughed until we cried
and smiled until it hurt.
It was like that everytime
we were together.

pc2:
Who knew one meeting could
be so treasured?
Who knew one meeting could
lead to forever?

c2:
He's my best friend,
the one to carry me when I fall,
the one to protect me from the world,
He's my...

b:
Now he knows my words before I say them,
knows my actions before I do them,
knows my heart even more than I do.

c3:
He's my best friend,
the one who is through thick and thin,
the one who is through fire and high water.
He's my best friend,
The best friend.
And I miss him.

//This Way

v1:
We said goodbye today
and there were too many words
that I wanted to say.
We said goodbye today
and I didn't want to listen
to other people say
that it has to be this way.

c1:
Because I need you in my life
and I need you by my side.
The thought of going on
without you along
is more than I can bear.
Why does it have to be this way?

v2:
We said goodbye yesterday
and last night all I could do was lay
here in my bed and cry.
We said goodbye yesterday
and I still can't stop the tears,
can't stop the cold from seeping in
as I pray.

c1:
Because I need you in my life
and I need you by my side.
The thought of going on
without you along
is more than I can bear.
Why does it have to be this way?

b:
Tell me why'd you have to go,
why'd you have to leave me all by myself?
I hate goodbye,
I hate those words,
but I can't hate...

c2:
Because I need you in my life
and I need you by my side.
The thought of going on
without you along
is more than I can bear.
But before you said goodbye,
I wish I could tell you one last time
that I love...

//Today

v1:
I looked into your eyes today
and gone was the light,
gone was the spark
I loved so much.

pc:
And I wish for words to say,
wish for things to do
to bring it all back.

c:
Today I lost you,
lost the laugh that made me smile,
and the hand that held on tight,
and the words that were always just right.
Can today just begin again?

v2:
I tried to hold your hand today,
but your hand, your eyes, your voice
was all too cold.

pc1:
And I wish for words to say,
wish for things to do
to bring it all back.

c2:
Today I lost you,
lost the warmth from my life
and all the could and would be's
for you and me.
Can today just begin again?

b:
We used to smile together,
laugh together,
embrace when we were sad together.
What can I do
to bring it all back?

c1:
Today I lost you,
lost the laugh that made me smile
and the hand that held on tight
and the words that were always just right.
Can today just begin again?

c2:
Today I lost you,
lost the warmth in my life,
lost all the could and would be's
for you and me.
Can today just begin again?

Can today just begin again?
Can today just begin again?
Let's go back to yesterday.

//There You Were

v1:
It was always hard to let people get close.
To let down my guards and let them see me.
It was always hard to speak my mind.
It gave too many ways for vulnerability.

c1:
But there you were,
keeping me strong,
keeping me brave,
saying "you can reach higher".
There you were.

v2:
It was way too hard when my heart first broke.
To let someone in only to have them prove me right.
It was way too hard to get up again,
To face the world and get back my will to fight.

c2:
But there you were,
keeping me safe,
keeping me sane,
saying "you are a survivor".
There you were.

b:
And now I finally see,
why you expected so much of me.
Now, I'm living my life so free.

c1:
And there you were,
keeping me strong,
keeping me brave,
saying "you can reach higher".
There you were.

c2:
And there you were,
keeping me safe,
keeping me sane,
saying "you are a survivor".
There you were.

There you always were.

//What Love Is

v1:
These days, people say "love" so easily.
And I begin to wonder what does it really mean?
Is it an easy smile,
a helping hand,
some thoughtful words?
And if so...

c1:
I love you.
Whatever may happen to us,
just know that I love you.
Whatever paths we walk along,
just know that I love you.
You are what love is to me.

v2:
These days when people say "love" so casually,
I wonder if it can be more, quite possibly?
A comfy hug to stop the tears,
a gentle voice to ease the fears,
a listener when I need to talk.
And if so...

c1:
I love you.
Whatever may happen to us,
just know that I love you.
Whatever paths we walk along,
just know that I love you.
You are what love is to me.

b:
People say "love" so many, many times,
but I want you to know,
that I always,
truly,
sincerely mean it
when I say...

c2:
I love you.
No matter what life throws at us,
just know that I love you.
Even if the world is crashing
down upon us, I love you.
You are what love is to me.

You are what love is to me.
You are love.

//Winter Waltz

v1:
It was a perfect winter night.
The moon was full and we were
surrounded by stars.
In a crowded room,
you were all I saw,
the only one who mattered.

c1:
Oh, starry, starry night,
when we danced beneath the heavens,
when the stars revolved around our world.
I want to dance with you again.

v2:
It was the perfect little excuse,
to show to the world
all the love you have from me.
In a crowded room,
we waltzed the night away,
didn't care what others said.

c1:
Oh, starry, starry night,
when we danced beneath the heavens,
when the stars revolved around our world.
I want to dance with you again.

b:
Just take my hand
and dance with me again.
This moon, these stars,
This night, right now.

c2:
Oh, starry, starry night,
when we danced amongst the stars,
when the music embraced us completely.
I want to dance with you again.

Dance with me again.
Come, take my hand.
