Do you believe you know what’s on my mind?
Did you set your sights thinking I was blind?
You made a big mistake
I caught you in the act
MY EYESIGHT’S 20/20
I’M NEVER LOOKING BACK
This game you play has cut me to the core
Those ladies of the night…through your revolving door
You think you pulled it off
by covering your tracks
But MY EYESIGHT’S 20/20 now
and I’M NEVER LOOKING BACK
You fixed my vision
When I caught you in the act
MY EYESIGHT’S 20/20
I’M NEVER LOOKING BACK
MY EYESIGHT’S 20/20
I’M NEVER LOOKING BACK

Watching Love Leave
02:31
|
|||
|
The storm is rolling in, and kicking up the leaves
My love said he’d protect us, made me believe
He would be here, his heartbeat always near
Instead, I’m standing at my front door WATCHING LOVE LEAVE
I memorized the moment he professed his love
On bended knee in the backyard, blue moon above
He would be mine; we'd be together for all time
Instead, I’m standing at my front door WATCHING LOVE LEAVE
Before we met, I made a vow
This would never happen to me again,
Never happen to me again
But look at me now
Before he drives away, I’m praying that he’ll see
How good we are together, and stay right here with me
But I feel a chill...perhaps I always will
[: standing at my front door, WATCHING LOVE LEAVE:]

Back Then
02:41
|

|
I watch him from the back porch, it’s really comin’ down
Pacin’ like a mad man, tearin’ up the soggy ground
Soaked to the skin, but he will not come in…
That was my dad BACK THEN
BACK THEN, when love took an angry turn,
BACK THEN, looked like it would crash and burn,
To a scaredy-cat little kid like me BACK THEN
Momma’s in the kitchen pretendin’ not to cry.
Slicin’ up the Raeburns for her famous apple pie
Counts to ten again, waiting for the end, again…
That was my mom BACK THEN
BACK THEN, when love took an angry turn,
BACK THEN, looked like it would crash and burn,
To a scaredy-cat little kid like me BACK THEN
Then Daddy slides across the kitchen floor in his stocking feet
Wraps Mom in a teddy bear hug and kisses her waiting cheek…
BACK THEN, when love took an angry turn,
BACK THEN, looked like it would crash and burn,
To a scaredy-cat little kid like me BACK THEN
BACK THEN, the world turned upside-down,
But then, it turned right back around,
For a scaredy-cat little kid like me BACK THEN
I was a scaredy-cat little kid BACK THEN

Time to Turn the Page
02:39

TIME TO TURN THE PAGE, it’s a story you’ve outgrown
Prince Charming didn’t charm; the White Knight never showed
Time to trust yourself; you are everything you need
Don’t wait for someone else to make you fit their dream
Time, time, it’s time, TIME TO TURN THE PAGE
Time for you to fly, as scary as that sounds
Time to spread your wings, break right through the clouds
Time, time, it’s time, TIME TO TURN THE PAGE
If he came along before you knew your mind
You might follow him blindly down his road…
If he came along before the time was right
You might lose yourself; you might lose your way back home
TIME TO TURN THE PAGE, it’s a story you’ve outgrown
Prince Charming didn’t charm, the White Knight never showed
[: Time, it’s time, it’s way past time, you know it’s
TIME TO TURN THE PAGE:]

Cafe on Carruthers
03:30

I can see us at that table in the corner
Time stands still as you place your hand on mine
Your touch electric...I could never love another,
Not on that day at our CAFÉ ON CARRUTHERS
I can see us at the church so close together
You place that ring upon my trembling hand
We say our vows...we will never love another
Like we said that day at our CAFÉ ON CARRUTHERS
Funny thing how Life takes its twists and turns
How circumstances change, how feelings rearrange
I can see us--it’s our final time forever
I hold my breath as you sign your love away
You say we’re over because you love another
And you say I’m in the way
Funny thing how life takes its twists and turns
How circumstances change, how feelings rearrange
But I can see us at our table in the corner,
Time stands still as you place your hand on mine
Your touch electric...I could never love another,
Not on that day at our CAFÉ ON CARRUTHERS
No, I will never love another
Like I did that day at our CAFÉ ON CARRUTHERS

Before Love Grew
03:01
|
|||
|
You could cut me to the quick with one unfiltered word
Even though you meant no harm, harm was all I heard
Before I knew you, truly knew you
BEFORE LOVE GREW
I built my wall so tall--you climbed it anyway
Though your heart was black and blue, you didn’t run…you stayed
Before you knew me, you truly knew me
BEFORE LOVE GREW
Back when my skin was thin, I wouldn’t let you in
Love had done me wrong, my trustin’ days were gone
The fact you didn’t leave turned my heart around
Opened up my eyes, what I thought I lost I’d found
Because you knew me, you truly knew me...
Back when my skin was thin, I couldn’t let you in
Love had done me wrong, my trustin’ days were gone
But the fact you didn’t leave turned my heart around
Opened up my eyes, what I thought I lost I’d found
Because you knew me, you truly knew me
BEFORE LOVE GREW
You knew me, you truly knew me
BEFORE LOVE GREW

Travelin' Man
03:27
|

This TRAVELIN’ MAN told me his story,
in a chance encounter on the road
I tipped my hat as he walked on by,
touched by the story that he told
(He said)
her laughter echoed through the canyon
in the skies above the Great Divide
Her heart was pure, filled with love,
They held each other all through that night
But the TRAVELIN’ MAN lives his plan
He never stays, he’s not built that way
The vagabond is here then gone
freedom is his life, but freedom has a price
She needed tomorrow, not a one-night, casual affair
but he wouldn’t stay, he walked away
into the morning mist he disappeared...
Our laughter echoes through the canyon
in the skies above the Great Divide
We share our love beneath the stars
We hold each other ev’ry night
Because the TRAVELIN’ MAN lives his plan
He never stays, he’s not built that way
The vagabond is here then gone
Freedom is his life, but Freedom has a price
And it’s a price I’m not willing to pay

You Just Bein' You
02:51

You found and lost another love who didn’t like your style
Hang upon your every word, or go that extra mile
You seem shocked he hated everything you do
Shocked he wasn’t into you just being you
You gotta find that one,
Who’s gonna stay...when all the others move on
Stay with YOU JUST BEING YOU...right or wrong
I know that you’ve been looking for that perfect number 10
Do you still think he’s out there to consummate your plan?
Are you still shocked that no matter what you do
Shocked that no one ever stays with YOU JUST BEING YOU?
You gotta find that one,
Who’s gonna stay...when all the others move on
Stay with YOU JUST BEING YOU...right or wrong
You kicked me to the curb, but I’m the guy you’re looking for
I’ll hang on every word, and go that extra mile and more
Are you shocked you might have to agree?
Shocked that you might be stuck with me just being me?
You gotta find that one,
Who’s gonna stay...when all the others move on
Stay with YOU JUST BEING YOU...right or wrong
I know I’m not hot, but I love you a lot
I would love to be the one
(and)
Like it or not, I’m all that you’ve got
I think you just found the one
‘cause I love YOU JUST BEING YOU.
Yes
I
Do
