I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith



I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this

I just wanna hold you close
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
And I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing

Down on the Corner by Creedence Clearwater Revival



Early in the evenin' just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp

[Chorus:]
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel; tap your feet

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy

[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]

Danny's Song by Anne Murray



People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one
And we've just begun
I think I'm gonna have a son
He will be like him and me, as free as a dove
Conceived in love
The sun is gonna shine above

And even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with you honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
And in the morning when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right

Love a guy who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up
Love him and he'll bring you luck
And if you find he helps your mind, better take him home
Yeah, and don't you live alone
Try to earn what lovers own

And even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with you honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
And in the morning when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right

And even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with you honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
And in the morning when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right

Oh Sherrie by Steve Perry



You should've been gone
Knowing how I made you feel
And I should've been gone
After all your words of steel
Oh, I must've been a dreamer
And I must've been someone else
And we should've been over

Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on

Oh, I want to let go
You'll go on hurtin' me
You'd be better off alone
If I'm not who you thought I'd be

But you know that there's a fever
Oh, that you'll never find nowhere else
Can't you feel it burnin'
On-and-on

Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie

[Instrumental Interlude]

Oh, Sherrie

But I should've been gone
Long ago, far away
And you should've been gone
Now I know just why you stay

Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on

Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on

Hold on
Oh, Sherrie

Forty Six & 2 by Tool



Join in my, join in my child,
And listen, I've been digging through my old numb shadow...

My shadow's
Shedding skin
I've been picking
Scabs again.
I'm down
Digging through
My old muscles
Looking for a clue.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused and insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in
My shadow.
My shadow.

Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again.

Join in my
Join in my child
My shadow moves
Closer to meaning

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic, insecure delusions.

I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured in
My shadow
My shadow

Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six & 2 ahead of me.

I choose to live and to grow,
Take and give and to move,
Learn and love and to cry,
Kill and die and to be paranoid and to lie,
Hate and fear and to do
What it takes to move through.

I choose to live and to lie,
Kill and give and to die,
Learn and love and to do
What it takes to step through.

See my shadow changing,
Stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow,
Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
Forty-six & 2 are just ahead of me.

12 Days of Christmas - Christmas Time Is Here by Ingrid Michaelson



Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all, the children call
Their favorite time of year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Lu lu lu, lu lu...

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Christmas time is here (Christmas time is here)
We'll be drawing near (We'll be drawing near)
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Christmas time is here (Christmas time is here)
Snowflakes in the air (Christmas time is here)
Christmas time is here

Crimson Blue by Keith Urban

 

I never saw the sky crimson blue
Kaleidoscope my eyes shapes and hues
I learned to bend the light easily
I know there's more beyond what I see
Am I inside a dream or wide awake?
If I can find the key, would I escape?
Caught in between the ledge and letting go
Nothing's the way it was anymore

Oyah abadohyay
We're returning to the stars that we're made of
We all find our own way
In the end we'll see we never were alone

Am I the reason why I'm afraid?
All of the pain inside I can't face
I try to run to you but you're not here
Why do the things we love disappear

Oyah abadohyay
We're returning to the stars that we're made of
We all find our own way
In the end we'll see we never were alone

Never were alone
Never were alone
Never were alone

12 Days of Christmas - I'll be Home for Christmas by Lady A


I’ll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
With a love like this
And I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Please have snow and lots of mistletoe
And presents under the tree

And Christmas Eve will find me
With a love like this
And I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

If only in my dreams

Stuck in the Middle With You by Stealers Wheel



Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Well, you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawlin'
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
Well, I don't think I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Well, you started out with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawlin'
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"

Yeah, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

12 Days of Christmas - Santa Claus is Back in Town



(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas...)

Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling down
Well you be a real good little girl
Santa Claus is back in town

Got no sleigh with reindeer
No sack on my back
You're gonna see me comin' in a big black Cadillac

Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town

Hang up your pretty stockings
And turn off the light
Santa Claus is comin' down your chimney tonight

Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town

(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas...)

Numb by Linkin Park



I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

12 Days of Christmas - It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas by Kelly Clarkson



It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door

A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
Soon the bells will start
Right within your heart
Right within your heart

Sunrise by Simply Red



As I look into your eyes I see the sunrise
The light behind your face helps me realise

Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine

I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time
Is it in your mind at all
It should be me, it could be me
Forever

Wandering through life will love come home to you
And the love you want forever, will they be true to you

Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine

I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time
Love's indescribable
It should be me, it could be me
Forever

Easy, ready, willing, over time
Where does it stop where do you dare me to draw the line
You've got the body now you want my soul
Don't even think about it say no go

12 Days of Christmas - Silent Night (Lord of my Life) by Lady A



Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night (Lord of my life) holy night (I sing to You)
Shepherds quake (be with us now) at the sight (on this Christmas night)
Glories stream from heaven afar (let all be calm)
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia (and hearts be light)
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

Silent night (oh what a night) holy night (praising Your birth)
Son of God (light of my heart) love's pure light (shine down Your grace)
Radiant beams from Thy holy face (to save the world)
With the dawn of redeeming grace (to You we praise)
Jesus Lord at Thy birth
Jesus Lord at Thy birth

Silent night, holy night

Hey World by Lee Brice



Hey world, leave me alone
I don't wanna turn on the TV
Ain't nothing but bad news on
Yeah, the rain can wait for another day
This heart's worn out, had all it can take

Hey world, leave me alone
Don't call me up today, I won't be picking up the phone
I'm gonna sit here on this porch swing and listen to the pines sing
Everything I need's right here at home
Hey world, leave me alone

Hey world, I just need some space
Could you give me a minute to catch my breath today
I don't need that long, and you ain't going nowhere
So if you don't mind, yeah, if you don't care

Hey world, leave me alone
Don't call me up today, I won't be picking up the phone
I'm gonna sit here on this porch swing and listen to the pines sing
Everything I need's right here at home
Hey world, leave me alone
Leave me alone, yeah

Hey world, leave me alone
Don't call me up today, I won't be picking up the phone
I'm gonna sit here on this porch swing and listen to the pines sing
Everything I need's right here at home
Hey world, leave me alone
Hey world, leave me alone
Leave me alone

I Love You by Climax Blues Band



When I was younger man
I hadn't a care
Foolin' around
Hitting the town
Growing my hair

You came along
And stole my heart
When you entered my life

Ooh, babe, you got what it takes
So I made you my wife

Since then I never looked back
It's almost like living a dream
And, ooh, I love you

You came along
From far away
And found me here

I was playin' around
Feeling down
Hittin' the beer

You picked me up
From off the floor
And gave me a smile

You said, you're much too young
Your life ain't begun
Let's walk for awhile

And as my head was spinnin' 'round
I gazed into your eyes
And thought, ooh, I want you

Thank you, babe, for being a friend
And shinin' your light in my life
'Cause, ooh, I need you

As my head was comin' round
I gazed into your eyes
And thought, ooh, I want you

Thanks again for being my friend
And straightenin' out my life
'Cause, ooh, I need you

Since then I never looked back
It's almost like livin' a dream
Ooh, I got you

If ever a man had it all
It would have to be me
And, ooh, I love you

12 Days of Christmas - I'll Be Home for Christmas by Russ Taff


I  couldn't find any lyrics for the Russ Taff version.

Forgotten by From Ashes to New



(Six feet from the bottom
I'm drowning in the water
Will I reach the air that keeps me here?
Or will I be forgotten?)

Will I sink or will I swim if I can't stand?
Drifting farther all alone in the ocean
I can see the end, will I breathe again
Or wash away like a footprint in the sand?
I'm still fighting but the current carries me away
I try to surface but I'm caught beneath the waves
I'm slipping further, I'm sinking under

I close my eyes, frozen inside of my mind
I know I swim and I live, I know I don't and I die
I'm hoping that I survive 'cause at this moment in life
I got the shiver within that's growing colder with time

Six feet from the bottom
I'm drowning in the water
Will I reach the air that keeps me here
Or will I be forgotten?

I feel the air leave my lungs as I sink below
Falling faster as I'm dragged into the undertow
I'm losing hope and I'm growing cold
Holding on when I feel like letting go
I keep pretending that someday I'm gonna make it out
Thinking heavy that's what always seems to pull me down
I'm slipping further, I'm sinking under

I see the sky, I'm freezing barely alive
I feel the cold in my bones, alone preparing goodbyes
I know the air in the night, I know it's stereotypes
I see it flowing like an ocean with my very own eyes

Six feet from the bottom
I'm drowning in the water
Will I reach the air that keeps me here
Or will I be forgotten?

Every inch is a battle
Every breath is a war
Every minute's a struggle
I can't fight this anymore

(Six feet from the bottom
I'm drowning in the water)

Six feet from the bottom
I'm drowning in the water
Will I reach the air that keeps me here
Or will I be forgotten?

Be forgotten
Will I be forgotten?
Will I reach the air that keeps me here
Or will I be forgotten?

12 Days of Christmas - Away in a Manger by Carrie Underwood



Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky
And stay by my side till morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And take us to Heaven to live with Thee there

And give you what you want so you will still be mine, hey, hey

12 Days of Christmas - No Place Like Home by John Legend



Baby, I can't wait for late December
Smell of cinnamon and pine
We'll be picking out the Christmas timber
And hanging up the fairy lights

We can have a party
You can sing the carols
We're not going out at all
I've got everything I need right here
There's no one else I need to call

'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime
Let the snow fall down, we're snuggled up inside
We got love with us
It's a good Christmas
Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime

La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la

Cozy up right by the fireplace and
Watch our favorite movies play
Cooking up a feast for kings and queens
Our castle is our sacred place

And we can have a party, dancing to the carols
We're not going out at all
I got everything I need right here
I know we're gonna have a ball

'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime
Let the snow fall down, we're snuggled up inside
We got love with us
It's a good Christmas
Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime

Make a Christmas vow (Make a Christmas vow)
All we need is now (All we need is now)
All we have is us
And we're more than enough
Now we've made this house a home
A beautiful world of our own
We'll do this every year
We're not leaving here

'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime
Let the snow fall down, we're snuggled up inside
We got love with us
It's a good Christmas
Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime

Oh, no place like home at Christmastime
Yeah, no place like home at Christmastime
Sing with me y'all come on
Hey, no place like home at Christmastime
No place like home at Christmastime

Oh baby, feels good to be home
Feels good to be home, yeah
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
Cooking meals baby, yeah

The Tracks of my Tears by Smokey Robinson



People say I'm the life of the party
Because I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you

Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you

Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown oh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you

So baby take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Yeah just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, baby, baby

Baby take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Oh look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

the 1 by Taylor Swift



I'm doing good, I'm on some new shit
Been saying "yes" instead of "no"
I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though

I hit the ground running each night
I hit the Sunday matinee
You know the greatest films of all time were never made

I guess you never know, never know
And if you wanted me, you really should've showed
And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow
And it's alright now

But we were something, don't you think so?
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one

I have this dream you're doing cool shit
Having adventures on your own
You meet some woman on the Internet and take her home
We never painted by the numbers, baby
But we were making it count
You know the greatest loves of all time are over now

I guess you never know, never know
And it's another day, waking up alone

But we were something, don't you think so?
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one

Hey, yeah-yeah
I persist and resist the temptation to ask you
If one thing had been different
Would everything be different today?

We were something, don't you think so?
Rosé flowing with your chosen family
And it would've been sweet
If it could've been me
In my defense, I have none
For digging up the grave another time
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one

Lady by Kenny Rogers



Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you
You have made me what I am and I am yours
My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more

You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together
Won't you believe in my song

Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never find you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear

In my eyes I see no one else but you
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me
I've waited for you for so long

Lady, your love's the only love I need
And beside me is where I want you to be
'Cause, my love, there's something I want you to know
You're the love of my life, you're my lady

Better Together by Luke Combs



A 40 HP Johnson
On a flat bottom metal boat
Coke cans and BB guns
Barbed wire and old fence posts
8-point bucks in autumn
And freshly cut corn fields
One arm out the window
And one hand on the wheel

Some things just go better together
And probably always will
Like a cup of coffee and a sunrise
Sunday drives and time to kill
What's the point of this old guitar
If it ain't got no strings
Or pouring your heart into a song
That you ain't gonna sing?
It's a match made up in heaven
Like good ole boys and beer
And me, as long as you're right here

Your license in my wallet
When we go out downtown
Your lipstick stained every coffee cup
That I got in this house
The way you say I love you, too
Is like rain on an old tin roof
And your hand fits right in to mine
Like a needle in a groove

Some things just go better together
And probably always will
Like a cup of coffee and a sunrise
Sunday drives and time to kill
What's the point of this old guitar
If it ain't got no strings
Or pouring your heart into a song
That you ain't gonna sing?
It's a match made up in heaven
Like good ole boys and beer
And me, as long as you're right here

Sometimes we're oil and water
But I wouldn't have it any other way
And if I'm being honest
Your first and my last name

Would just sound better together
And probably always will
Like a cup of coffee and a sunrise
Sunday drives and time to kill
What's the point of this old guitar
If it ain't got no strings
Or pouring your heart into a song
That you ain't gonna sing
It's a match made up in heaven
Like good ole boys and beer
And me, as long as you're right here

And me, as long as you're right here

Name by Goo Goo Dolls



And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Got lost or thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans
And never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name

And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell em' your name
Oooh, oooh, oooh
I won't tell em' your name
Ow!

I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name

Soldier of Fortune by DeGarmo & Key


He's got mousse on his hair
He’s got a pair of alligator shoes
That he loves to wear
Soldier of fortune
He's got money, he's no fool
But he made it selling junk
To little children after school
Ooh-ooh, soldier of fortune

He’s doing it for the money
He's doing it for the thrill
And he doesn't have a conscience
And I guess he never will
Soldier of fortune

He's got that blue leisure suit
He's got alligator tears
That help him to collect the loot
Ooh, soldier of fortune
He can quote every verse
He's got satellites to launch
So you better hang on to your purse
Soldier of fortune

He's doing it for the money
He's doing it for the thrill
And he doesn’t have a conscience
And I guess he never will
Soldier of fortune

He’s doing it for the money
He's doing it for the thrill
And he doesn’t have a conscience
And I guess he never will
Soldier of fortune
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no

I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe



I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk by Your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When Your face is before me
I can only imagine, yeah

Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You, Jesus
Or in awe of You be still?

Will I stand in Your presence
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?

I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the sun/son
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever—forever worship You

I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You, Jesus
Or in awe of You be still?

Will I stand in Your presence
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?

I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You, Jesus
Or in awe of You be still?

Will I stand in Your presence
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?

I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever—forever worship You

I can only imagine

Hell is for Children by Halestorm



They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child

Because Hell, Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh

It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
Be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell Lizzie you fell off the swing

Because Hell, Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh
No, Hell is for children

Hell, Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell, Hell is for children

Hell, Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell, Hell is for children

Hell, Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell, Hell is for children

Hell is for children
Hell is for children

Without Your Love by Chris Stapleton


Yesterday just came and went
And today dealt me another hand of heartaches that I'll play
What we said and what we meant
Two different things, just some words and rings
And time keeps raising the stakes

Tonight I'll find you in my dreams
And tomorrow I'll wake up and have to feel you fade away
That's the way it goes it seems
Tears filled with pain and they fall like rain
Constant reminders every day

Without your love
The sky is grey
Without your love
I'm waiting on the sun to shine
Without your love
Every hour is the darkest time of day
And every moment's a crime
And every moment's a crime

The more I live without you
Just can't forget about you
Nobody else can set me free
Baby, please come back to me
Baby, please come back to me

Without your love
The sky is grey
Without your love
I'm just waiting on the sun to shine
Without your love
Every hour is the darkest time of day
And every moment's a crime
Without your love
And every moment's a crime
Without your love
And I'm just doing my time
Without your love
And every moment's a crime

Heartbeat Song by Kelly Clarkson



This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long

You, where the hell did you come from?
You're a different, different kind of fun
And I'm so used to feeling numb
Now, I've got pins and needles on my tongue
Anticipating what's to come
Like a finger on a loaded gun

I can feel it rising
Temperature inside me
Haven't felt it for a lifetime

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turned it on
But I know you can take it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long (all night long)

I, I wasn't even gonna go out
But I never would have had a doubt
If I'd have known where I'd be now

Your hands on my hips
And my kiss on your lips
Oh, I could do this for a lifetime

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh, up, up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turned it on
But I know you can take it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long

Until tonight I only dreamed about you
I can't believe I ever breathed without you
Baby, you make me feel alive and brand new
Bring it one more time, one more time

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh, up, up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turned it on
But I know you can take it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh, up, up all night long

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh, up, up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turned it on
But I know you can take it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh, up, up all night long

Renegade by Big Red Machine & Taylor Swift



I tapped on your window on your darkest night
The shape of you
Was jagged and weak
There was nowhere for me to stay
But I stayed anyway
And if I would've known
How many pieces you had crumbled into
I might have let them lay

Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these?
And let all your damage, damage me
And carry your baggage up my street
And make me your future history

It's time, you've come a long way
Open the blinds, let me see your face
You wouldn't be the first renegade
To need somebody

Is it insensitive for me to say
Get your shit together
So I can love you?
Is it really your anxiety
That stops you from giving me everything
Or do you just not want to?

I tapped on your window on your darkest night
The shape of you
Was jagged and weak
There was nowhere for me to stay
But I stayed anyway
You fire off missiles cause you hate yourself
But do you know you're demolishing me?
And then you squeeze my hand as I'm about to leave

Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these?
Let all your damage, damage me
And carry your baggage up my street
And make me your future history

It's time, you've come a long way
Open the blinds, let me see your face
You wouldn't be the first renegade
To need somebody

Is it insensitive for me to say
Get your shit together
So I can love you?
Is it really your anxiety
That stops you from giving me everything
Or do you just not want to?

And if I would've known
How sharp the pieces were
You'd crumbled into
I might've let them lay

Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these?
And let all your damage, damage me
And carry your baggage up my street
And make me your future history

It's time, you've come a long way
Open the blinds, let me see your face
You wouldn't be the first renegade
To need somebody

To need somebody
I need somebody
To need somebody
To need somebody

(Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these?)
Is it insensitive for me to say
(And let all your damage, damage me)
Get your shit together
(And carry your baggage up my street)
So I can love you?
(And make me your future history)
Is it really your anxiety
(It's time, you've come a long way)
That stops you from giving me everything
(Open the blinds, let me see your face
You wouldn't be the first renegade
To need somebody)
Or do you just not want to?

Self Control by Laura Branigan



Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul

You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control

Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control

I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes

A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
This night will never go

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters

I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows

A safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
This night will never go

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control

You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control

You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
