Today I saw a boy And I wondered if he noticed me He took my breath away I can't get him off my mind And it scares me Cause I've never felt this way No one in this world Knows me better than you do

For Gods sake, dear Please take my hand It's all I want Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back It's not a test, nor a trick of the mind Just say yes, 'cause I'm aching and I know you are too For the touch of your warm skin As I breathe

Pay attention to the cracked streets And the broken homes Some call it slums Some call it nice I want to take you through A wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise Dear mother It makes me wonder why I'm still here

You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear You nearly had me roped and tied Altar-bound, hypnotized Sweet freedom whispered in my ear You're a butterfly And butterflies are free to fly Fly away, high away, bye bye And someone saved my life tonight,

110 in the shade Iced tea won’t cut it And neither will lemonade I need a cold Budweiser on a bar stool And a jukebox by my dear Singing cold beer country 'Cause it’s cold beer country round here So dang hot you want to sit around naked Ain’t rained one

Oh oh dear life I'm about to make you last Don't wanna let you go You're scaring me to death I'm hangin' on for dear life I'm beggin' on you please, just slow down Dear Life, I hope you know Dear Life, what's your plan I'm tryin' to catch my breath

Don't run away Don't slip away my dear Why can't you stay? Ooh make love to me One more time Before you go away Ooh, my love Come home to me Just for a while

Unh, my dearest darling Oh I pledge my love to you With God as our guide Oh nothing, nothing, nothing in this world Can keep us apart I offer you my heart Is someone like you My dearest darling

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you Counting my footsteps, Praying the floor won't fall through, again My mother accused me of losing

My yesterday was blue dear My lonely nights are through dear Since you said you were mine Oh, what a difference a day made There's a rainbow before me Skies above can't be stormy since that moment of bliss That thrilling kiss It's heaven when you find
