Then came the morning It was bright like a light that you cut from your smile Then came the morning Like a flood from your storm that you cut from my heart Take the dawn with you when you leave Wash my hands of all this broken heave Never forget what you thought you'd never be If you ever let me break the spell of cryin' Leavin' what we could have found and Take my words, breathe 'em out like smoke Burn every single letter that I wrote Let the pages turn to ash, I don't want them back Everything you've always said to me Starts to sound like broken glass on speakers Spread it out all over places where I sleep Now you've finally left me, done with all your lyin' Joy come to me, boy and you won't see me cryin' Then came the morning It was lost when you left, when you took what I felt Then came the morning Then came the morning Then came the morning Then came the morning Then the storm raised the [?] [?] I thought you stole Start to feel the way I felt way before You broke down my front door Popped my heart up out the wood floor Now I'm done, let your smilin' be gone Then came the morning Then came the morning Then came the morning Then came the morning

Paul Siebel Well come gather around me friends of mine, While I sing to you about a minstrel band Of children in their witches hats, Painting pictures with the pipes of pan How a young boy and his sister played some tunes Upon a whistle made of tin And led me through the flower gardens, Laughing at the postman's stubby chin And in my dizzy stupor, I was trying to forfeit all I'd known And listen to that music that could swirl me in a magic all it's own But somewhere in the distance, You and I, we fought our monsters to a draw It was in those days of books and wine, With Ferlin Getty grasping for a straw And out along the highways, We journeyed far to find that mystic smile Chasing down identities, My God we must have run a million miles So we can teach the children, Nothing, nothing but survival in the desert bare They can teach us how to laugh, How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair So sing for us you children, Tinkle bells and rhyme the purple, greens and blues Think of us as fighting fools, Who wintered through our seasons loving you Think of us as fighting fools, Who wintered through our seasons loving you Cause you can teach us how to laugh, How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair

There we were, hungry and scared, wishing we never had come Homes on our backs, dust in our hair, cursing the day we'd begun "Tell me I ask you," a friend of mine said, "Was it so bad where we were?" "We didn't have to come here to be dead, was what we had so nsure?" Then the quail came, falling like dew on the ground The quail came, each evening our food to be found And taking our curses and turning 'em round And filling our ears with those ungrateful sounds Unworthy to stand I bow down There we were, angry and naked, looking for someone to blame Our bodies were aching, babies were crying And each day was so much the same "I tell you people, this journey is crazy." I heard someone say in his rage "How long will it be 'till we realize our folly And get back to where we were safe?" Here we are, alone on a desert, fed dawn to dark, dusk to day Every morning we wake up to find just the measure Of food we need for the way Oh once we would ask if we could have more To see that our future survived But we know now at last, that nothing is sure Except that at evening the quail will arrive

Like a soldier with no armor In the middle of the battle I was broken I was broken It was only getting darker In the valley of the shadow I was hopeless I was hopeless I never thought that I would ever see the day When every single chain would break Or hear the voice of Heaven call my name Then Christ came Changing everything He took my sin and shame away Now every song I sing will be for Him Ever since the moment He walked in Then Christ came I was searching for a reason To believe that I could ever really matter Ever matter I was hoping, I was reaching So desperate for my soul to find its Savior I need a savior Then Christ came Changing everything He took my sin and shame away Now every song I sing will be for Him Ever since the moment He walked in Then Christ came, whoa You are the One I prayed for You are the One I was made for Hallelujah Jesus, You gave me purpose Jesus, You told me I'm worth it Hallelujah I never thought that I would ever see the day When every single chain would break Or hear the voice of Heaven call my name Then Christ came Changing everything He took my sin and shame away Now every song I sing will be for Him Ever since the moment He walked in, whoa You are the One I prayed for (You are the One) You are the One I was made for (You are the One) Hallelujah (ooh-ooh) Jesus, You gave me purpose (Jesus) Jesus, You told me I'm worth it (Hallelujah) hallelujah Ooh Then Christ came

I was the one who let her go I let her down when I let her know That our dreams were not the same I let her walk away Without a word, without a fight She moved on to new life As for me, I don't look back on what we had Those days are gone Life must go on And yet I wonder does she ever dream of me Late at night? I guess there will always be some choices in this life That we regret I know we'll never love again And yet If it had gone another way If she were here with me today Would we both be happy now Without a single doubt That our love was strong enough To outweigh what we gave up I guess we'll never know But I really don't think so Cuz right or wrong life must go on And yet I wonder does she ever dream of me Late at night? I guess there will always be some choices in this life That we regret I know we'll never love again And yet I guess there will always be some choices in this life We regret I know we'll never love again And yet

(Neil Thrasher/Michael Dulaney/Jimmy Olander) Clothes pins and the king of hearts Death grip on his handlebars He said a prayer, I hope I don't crash It's somethin' that he had to do His buddies darin' him to turn 'em loose Gonna set those butterflies free Let go Let 'er fly into the unkbown It's true There's nothin' that you can't do The only way to know One, two, three, let go She wrote his name on the beach today And watched the water wash it away Girl, that's a pretty clear sign She reared back with her ring in hand So ready to release that man You should've seen her smile Let go Let 'er fly into the unkbown It's true There's nothin' that you can't do The only way to know One, two, three, let go It's a simple fact You'll never know where you're goin' If you keep lookin' back Let go Let 'er fly into the unkbown It's true There's nothin' that you can't do The only way to know One, two, three, let go

(Paul Davis) Hello girl it's been awhile Guess you'll be glad to know That I've learned to laugh and smile Getting over you was slow They say old lovers can be good friends But I never thought I'd really see you I'd really see you again I go crazy When I look in your eyes I still go crazy No my heart just can't hid That old feeling inside Way deep down inside Oh baby You know when I look in your eyes I go crazy You say he staisfies your mind Tell you all of his dreams I know how much that means to you I realize that I was blind Just when I thought I was over you I see your face and it Just ain't true No it just ain't true I go crazy When I look in your eyes I still go crazy No my heart just can't hid That old feeling inside Way deep down inside Oh baby You know when I look in your eyes I go crazy Ooohhh hhhooo ooooooohhh hhhoohhhoo I go crazy When I look in your eyes I still go crazy No my heart just can't hid That old feeling inside Way deep down inside Oh baby You know when I look in your eyes I go crazy

(Sam Tate/Annie Tate/Dan Colehour) I ain't gonna change better give up hope I'm one of those guys who'll never be pope I'd hang myself with a little more rope From the nearest family tree I guess I broke my daddy's heart When I dropped the plow picked up this guitar He wanted to leave me the family farm But that just wouldn't be me No, na na na na na That just wouldn't be me It might be all right for some other guy But that just wouldn't be me I got this friend, he's a pretty nice guy Wears Italian suits and power ties Bought a German car and a trophy wife And his favorite color's green He wants to teach me bout bonds and stocks So I can own a little piece of the rock Hell I don't even own two matching socks That just wouldn't be me No, na na na na na That just wouldn't be me It might be all right for some other guy But that just wouldn't be me One of these days I just might settle down Buy a little house in a little town Get a wife and kids make my mama proud No, na na na na na That just wouldn't be me It might be all right for some other guy But that just wouldn't be me But that just wouldn't be me
