In the heat of the night, in a crowed bar,
I saw you staring my way from afar.
I could feel a meltdown
begging down deep in my heart.

As we danced across the floor
I felt a burning desire.
In s smoldering passion the flames
Grew higher, and higher.

Oh the temperatures rising right from the start
All it took was just one little spark,
So ook what you started.
Started deep in my heart.

BRIDGE:
There’s a heat wave like, none I can remember.
We could’ve melted Minnesota, in the dead of Winter middle of December.

Start, it’s a blazing alarm,
that you started in my heart.
Never want to put out this flame,
we’ve got burning. There’s a fever deep inside that
Keeps on stirring. You did your part
were there’s smoke there is fire.
Look what you Started
started deep in my heart.

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna make you cry
Love keeps bringing us together
I’m never gonna say goodbye

I’ll love you every moment
I see you in our daughters eyes
I’m feel complete when you’re with me
I’m never gonna say goodbye

As make this journey together
You’re the best part of my life
You’re my first last and always
I’m never gonna say goodbye

God knew what he was doing
When he brought you into my life
I love you more each and every day
I’m never gonna say goodbye

we don’t write love anymore letters
she wanted to leave and I let her
I thought I could say something clever

I wouldn’t change a thing about how we loved
a Starbuck line is where I met her
I thought I would say something clever
couldn’t think of something clever
just a lump in the back of my heart

I’m sweeter I’m kinder I am gentler I’m smarter I’m wiser
I’m deeper I’m easier I’m closer I’m softer calmer
Lost love has made me better

write letters I never when we were together
sitting here thinking how life keeps on changing
thinking back to the time we had

She was a blessing in disguise
The last love has made me better

Down here we got oil and Californians that flee
To get away from stiff prices
And lots of room to succeed
Your always welcome here in the Lonestar State
But leave your politics behind

CH
Well taxes and Texas
Go together like BBQ and beef
We don’t mind paying our fair share
But we sure could use some relief
Stop saddling up our grandkids with Trillions in debt all that printed money
Well taxes and Texas is what this country needs

the fastest-growing states
houses are affordable
less expensive to live here
our state fair is bigger go figure

Where did you come from how did you find me
out of countless stars in the sky
when we are together you entered my dreams
and became a part of my soul
a lifetime ago you sprung up like a rose
a love like this comes but once in a lifetime
it’s not ours to wonder why we’ve got our love for all time

BR
you and me like blank blank blank blank that
only comes but once in our life blank blank blank,
from now until the eternity this is a love for all time
it will endure my life to yours I know this is a love for all time
ours will be a love for all time
you settled it once and for all this, is, a comma love, for all time

CH
God up above must have picked you from all the rest
I’ve truly been blessed
time won’t let us forget a lifetime ago
as long as I have breath left to breathe
time can never take away your love from mine
that’s how the story will end
time can’t change a thing

the way you make me believe
BR
I never stopped looking for that one-of-a-kind true love
like this one so hard to find
we wear our love like diamonds
our book of days has 100,000 pages
one by one let’s turn them together

I turned on the radio by the bed
a country station was playing a sad song about leaving
I know exactly what that’s all about
I got a feeling I’ll know what that is like soon

CH
I’m living in a country song
I’m that same guy you’re singing about
why do I have to live out my life
living in a country song
that same old story

I’ve been listening to all those leaving songs
I’ve got a feeling I know what that’s all about
soon I’ve been there too
stuck in a country song

This is disposable music 6X you didn’t have to pay anything for it
You didn’t hold it in your hand look at the cover read the liner notes
All you did is down load, down load, down load
It was free to you then you threw it away recycled into the bin of your history
Into the garbage bin

These days we click off songs so easily
Never giving it a chance we’re in such a rush
Our attention span is growing shorter
It doesn’t take long to give it the brush

CH
But I remember all those old songs
We’d put the needle down and listen all day long
Beatles and Dylan and Neil Young
Each note and every word we’d hold on
These days it’s nothing like listening to those old songs

These days we click off songs so easily
Never giving it a chance we’re in such a rush
Our attention span is growing shorter
It doesn’t take long to give it the brush

Here’s my lips and here’s my heart
Take me all not just a part
Here’s to you and here’s to us
Here’s to this night and our new love

Wrapped up in love you surrounded me
Like satin fingers and cotton sheets
With one warm touch you came undone
Lay down beside me and gave me your love

Before during and after
I loved it all from beginning to end
Now nothing else really matters
Before during and after
I’d do it all over again

Like a king in a queen sized bed
Hold me tight your fingers on my skin
One special look says it all
Kisses linger on tender lips

I work the night shift and you work the days
We get the weekends off and that’s what really pays
But sometimes i wish we could chuck it all
And spend more days together
Hey boss i’m starting to feel a bit under the weather

Oh I’m taking on a new job devoted entirely to loving you
Today we won’t punch any clock and we’re breaking all the rules
I hope my boss will understand why i am staying home in bed today
Because i am lovesick taking a new job loving you

BOSS It’s way too cold out outside and my engine just won’t start
I feel a fever coming on and a weakness in my heart
So honey let’s unplug that phone and climb back into bed
Because the only overtime i am putting in today
Is to be here with you instead
Optional: make it our career

Help yourself to some of my loving
Help yourself to some of my soul
If you’re ever feeling lonely
All you have to do is say so say so

All you’ve gotta do is just ask
Just ask me baby
All you gotta do is ask
Just ask me baby
Ask ask me baby
And i’ll be yours

Help yourself but don’t take me for granted
Whatever you do please don’t keep me waiting
Just treat me right and take your time
Everything i have is yours for the taking
And you better start taking some chances on me tonight

Do you remember when I have stood before your door and
I’ve looked upon your face for the first time
Will you come into my life and fill this emptiness
Show me the spark of life
Could be heavenlies right before my eyes
It’s all been said before
It could be heaven shining through your eyes
It could be heaven I saw in your eyes today

Don’t look away now
Don’t look away from the light
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
I saw heaven in your eyes today

Empires rise and mountains fall
Tides go out every day
Your love for me remains the same
It could be heavenlies right before my eyes
It could be heaven I saw in your eyes today

I thought I’d never act this way
When it came time for you to go
Now I know it just wasn’t meant to be
We had it all you and me

Now that we don’t belong together anymore
I’m not supposed to go on feeling what I feel
But the question that keeps running through my mind
Was it real love or was it real

Was it the real thing was it the real love
Did you ever love me at all
Was it the real thing was it the real love
That made me feel 10 feet tall
And then cut me down to size
Put my heart into a sling
Was it the real thing?

Remember that night we held each other tight
You said you’d never let me go
Well now we know that it wasn’t quite right
Because now I feel so all alone

Secret admirer watching from afar
Knows just what you do and where you go
Secret admirer drawing like a moth to the fire
Oh secret admirer doesn’t want you to know
That he’s in love with you
A love he just can’t show

He knows where you’re going then who you’re with next
I’m your secret admirer
Who’s drawn like a moth to the fire
I’m your secret admirer
I love you but can’t let you know

I want to build you a tower of love
Rising up through the clouds and touching the Sky
Our love is built on a tower of love
Getting stronger all the time
Rising through the clouds and touching the Sky
Our love is like a tower lofty in the clouds
as we climb that lofty tower of love
I’ve never climbed so high before

Dive in don’t just get your feet wet
Take a chance with me and let yourself go
You don’t have to be secretive
We can go further than our comfort zone

Dive Just dive in
Loosen up and let it go
You don’t have to be perfect
Go with the flow
And dive in

Change can be scary i know
But if we can get past the icebreaker
We can just let it go let it go and dive in

Like polar magnetism we come together
We were a good match because opposites attract
But we all want to be heard
We want acceptance and to be understood
Sometimes the poles are reversed
And pulls us apart.
We all want to fly free
We want to be seen
Appreciated
We want someone to be there for us

Late at night when Im all alone [mine]
Our love has grown
In dreams our souls are reunited
the fire of that night is reignited
cherished memories all my own

Your touch, Your laughter, your passion
The longing in my heart

CH
All these memories of you linger on
visions so fond
The way you move are
I cherish those People call
and I can’t keep your body off my mind

echoes in my mind
Your sweet kisses still lingers on my lips skin

2 I try to fight it, but it’s no use, [help from Ai]
I’m captivated by thoughts of you
Your presence still lingers, I can’t refuse.

Like a flame I’m draw so your side [mine]
In my dreams our bodies entwined

Your rhythm is what plays me like a tune
Your love’s the one thing I can’t refuse.
I try to shake it, but it’s no use,

Can’t wait to see you later on tonight
I can’t keep your body off my mind,

With every touch and every kiss our love grows
Is pulling me close

craving your touch
you’re all I see,
dancing next to me.
The way you smile is so inviting,
every whisper you breathe
my heart’s igniting.
Thoughts of you and
Even in my dreams
when hearts are near
Wish you were here
an endless supply of love

Welcome to the real world, it’s nice to have you back again.
You’ve been gone for Such a long time,
you woke up from a coma,
after slipping into yourself.
You Were drifting further inward.
How long have you been gone?
We welcome you back to The real; world.

CHORUS: Inside, outside, the real world.
Inside, outside the real world.
Welcome back to earth now.
We wondered where you were.
We understand you went Flying,
you vanished into thin air.
You spoke to us in tongues. No one really understood
You, except all your friends in the asylum.
We welcome you back to the real world.
