The Shadowman on Rocky Road 02:37
lyrics
Making my way down Rocky Road, taking it to the bitter end I heard a sound, I turned around Tracking me like a shadow, I saw this spooky stranger ‘Shadowman’ made me shiver. Was I in danger? Alive or dead? He was messing with my head My mind made up to do the deed, on my way to the Hanging Tree The faster I walked the closer he was, he whispered in my ear, he said “Don’t do it, son! Life’s just begun.” (I went) Flying down that bumpy byway, headed toward my suicide Then I heard his heartbeat keeping time with mine Alive or dead? He was living with my head My mind made up to do the deed, on my way to the Hanging Tree I could feel my anger fading, my desperation all but gone Suddenly, my mind was clear Suddenly, I felt no fear How did he know to track me down? Alive or dead? He was living in my head My mind made up to do the deed until the stranger rescued me Then Shadowman was gone….gone..gone…Shadowman was gone

You, you're always there for me When things are goin' wrong most ev'ryone moves on But you, you keep right on lovin' me Through the bad times and the good Just Like You Said You Would Just Like You Said You Would You're still lyin' next to me I hold you close and as I watch you sleepin' I think of all that we've been through All the life I've shared with you Even when our dreams are goin' wrong You're holdin' me and I'm hangin' on to you You and your love are safe with me They're locked inside my heart even when things fall apart 'cause you hold the key to lovin' me And you're still lovin' me so good Just Like You Said You Would Just Like You Said You Would You're still lyin' next to me I hold you close and as I watch you sleepin' I think of all that we've been through All the life I've shared with you Even when our dreams are goin' wrong You're holdin' me and I'm hangin' on to you Instrumental Just Like You Said You Would You're still lyin' next to me I hold you close and as I watch you sleepin' I think of all that we've been through All the life I've shared with you Even when our dreams are goin' wrong You're holdin' me Just Like You Said You Would Just Like You Said You Would Just Like You Said You Would

If I Can 03:05
lyrics

I’m beside myself, I'm not safe to drive A Motel 6 just up ahead, I'm stopping for the night On the road by early morning, that's my plan At the chapel right on time, take him by the hand If I Can I have half a mind to take my heart back home Should I say I do or should I say I don't? Once that ring is on my finger, this cannot be undone I don't think I can do this. I think I'm gonna run If I Can…That is If I Can Yes, of course I love him, I'm tellin' you the truth! No, I can't live without him But I don't know what to do What should I do? Sunlight's streamin' in, our wedding day has dawned I promised that I'd marry him and finally settle down Well, my mind and me decided to keep pushin' toward that plan Be at the chapel right on time and take him by the hand If I Can At the altar sided-by-side with my Forever Man If I Can That is If I Can That is if… I Can

I Can Feel Your Love 02:24

You said you’d never leave and now you are gone You made a promise to me you couldn’t keep And now as I face the night alone, my heartbeat racing toward the dawn your star is shining from above I can feel your love I can feel your love My heart will sing the song you wrote just for me Our magic time together always will be As sure as the earth will meet the sky and the moon will trade places with the sun your star is shining from above I can feel your love I can feel your love I can feel your love I can see you in the morning mist as the sunlight meets the dew You enfold me on the darkest night, your lovelight shining through As I face the night alone my heartbeat racing toward the dawn your star is shining from above I can feel your love I can feel your love I can feel your love

Is That Love? 02:34

You're tellin' me it's love You wanna clip my wings so I can't fly You're tellin' me it's love You want me to tell my other friends goodbye You want me to tell you where I go, who I see, what I do You're holdin' me way too tight and a little bit too close to you Is That Love? No way, no how If it were love you wouldn't hold me down And put a brand on me to keep me only for you Don't pretend that you ain't doin' it 'cause honey I can see right through it You're tellin' me it's love every time you climb inside my mind You're tellin' me it's love but you're keepin' secrets from me all the time You never tell me where you go, who you see, what you do You're holdin' me way too tight but a little bit too far from you Is That Love? No way, no how If it were love you wouldn't hold me down And put a brand on me to keep me only for you Don't pretend that you ain't doin' it 'Cause honey I can see right through it....

But Not For You 03:13
lyrics

She loved you to the moon then she clipped your wings so you couldn’t fly No strings upon that ring but she made cut your family ties Telling you what to wear, telling you where to go… the things she had you do, in the name of love for her But Not For You She wouldn’t change a thing and then she climbed inside your mind Over time she took control your private thoughts got left behind Telling you what to think, telling you how to feel… The things she had you do, in the name of love for her But Not For You Love wouldn’t hold you down Love wouldn’t push you around Love would never put a brand on you so you could never be free No strings upon that ring but she tried to steal your very soul The damage has been done But at least you’re free, and now you know… (that) Love wouldn’t hold you down Love wouldn’t push you around Love would never put a brand on you so you could never be free You would never be free INSTRUMENTAL The things she had you do in the name of love for her, in the name of love for her In the name of love for her…But Not For You INSTRUMENTAL TAG But Not For You

One and Only Dream 02:54
lyrics

I was young and so naïve, my first true taste of love, of kisses in the night, loving so free Those crazy new emotions were playing with my heart Your words felt too sincere to be real But I believed it all You knew that I would fall You were my dream. My one and only love. Not part of a scheme My one and only dream I watched you drift away as Summer turned to Fall When Winter winds blew in, I tried to be strong Your words were few and far between, you couldn't look me in the eye I guess that I was wrong all along But I believed it all You knew that I would fall You were my dream My one and only love Not part of a scheme You were my one and only dream Not part of some plan You would be here right by my side holding my hand (Instrumental) Not part of some scheme You were my one and only dream
