The memory is as if it were falling away. - Written By

Yeah, I know "when you know, you know" is cliche But they ain't just empty words old people say I feel you settled in my bones I wasn't made to ever let you go If it were up to me, I'd be it for you We wouldn't be questioning anything baby we'd fall into A love like we've never known Forever never alone Still you and me when that sweet heavenly symphony calls us home If it were up to me What we've found, is something only fools would waste That's why it's your hand I'm holding You're perfection, darling, so If it were up to me, I'd be it for you We wouldn't be questioning anything baby we'd fall into A love like we've never known Forever never alone Still you and me when that sweet heavenly symphony calls us home If it were up to me If it were up to me A love like we've never known Forever never alone Still you and me when that sweet heavenly symphony calls us home If it were up to me If it were up to me

Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog I wouldn't leave my baby dog, I wouldn't leave Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave I saw you walking under water, While I was drowning underneath I'm just like any other damned, Pulling me into the deep Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog I wouldn't leave my baby dog, I wouldn't leave Your name was written on the air though I cut my name up to that tree You're cold, but darling it's all natural Way you bring me to my knees! Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog I wouldn't leave my baby dog, I wouldn't leave Water you take me in, Calling me instead While I speed, wash me Singing sorrow songs, Lock before the dawn Waiting for the midnight Waiting for the midnight Water you take me in, Calling me instead While I speed, wash me Singing sorrow songs, Lock before the dawn Waiting for the midnight Waiting for the midnight Waiting... Waiting... Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave Cold as it is, I wouldn't leave my baby dog I wouldn't leave my baby dog, I wouldn't leave

Driving through West Virginia And I've seldom been thinner With that chip on my shoulder And this past year I got so much older Lookin' back over my life Spent the most of it tongue tied And I wish I'd had more time Listenin' to you speak your mind Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force for me? Drinkin' coffee black as iron And I couldn't be much higher Without fallin' out of my chair I've been so numb for so many years Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? And it's so easy To be blinded by the light To feel lonely in the night This blowing in the breeze babe I got dust in my eyes And rust in my mind I'll be home come next spring Won't you say you love me later, by and by Looking back over my life Spent the most of it tongue tied Pullin' my belt tight It's just me and the stars tonight Two fingers and a tight line Keep my head above the alpine Just wish I'd had more time Listenin' to her speak her mind Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force for me?

Well children by and by when the morning comes All the saints of God together at home We will tell the story of how we've overcome And we'll understand it better by and by Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand All the ways God will lead us To the blessed promised land He will guide us with his eye And we'll follow till we die And we'll understand it better by and by Well children by and by when the morning comes All the saints of God together at home We will tell the story of how we've overcome And we'll understand it better by and by Temptation's hidden snares often take us unaware And our hearts are made to bleed For some thoughtless word or deed And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best But we'll understand it better by and by By and by when the morning comes All the saints of God together at home We will tell the story of how we've overcome And we'll understand it better by and by And we'll understand it better by and by
