We once ran in the woods
On a path we understood
Holding hands you vowed to walk me home
Who does that anymore?

And in the night when you lie next to me
And you don’t want me to go
You beg me stay until you fall asleep
I won’t leave you alone
I won’t leave you alone

I know we must part
I just can’t it’s too hard
I reach out to take your hand in mine
I know it’s time

And in the night when you lie next to me
I don’t want to go
I’ll stay with you until you fall asleep
I won’t leave you alone
I won’t leave you alone

Somehow we will go on
Together when the night turns to dawn
Somehow we will go on
Together when the night turns to dawn

And in the night when you lie next to me
I don’t want to go
I’ll stay with you until you fall asleep
I won’t leave you alone
I won’t leave you alone
I won’t leave you alone

Saw the changes come and asked the doctor for a reason
Wasn’t overnight, it was over many seasons.
He said, “The pills in the bottle are worse than the disease.”
Beggin’ him please, look what it’s doing to me
Questions with no answers left me feeling all alone
I guess I had to find them on my own.

Now I love the you I wake up to each morning
Every day another chance to say yes to you
Now I love the you I wake up to each morning
Every challenge we go through
I still say yes, I still say yes to you

Strangers look at me as if my life is tragic
They don’t even know I found 9th inning magic
Some days aren’t so bad I learn to laugh it off
Learnin’ to give thanks for what I’ve got

Now I love the you I wake up to each morning
Every day another chance to say yes to you
Now I love the you  I wake up to each morning
Every challenge we go through
I still say yes, I still say yes to you

Was there really any choice to make
When it came to decision day?

Now I love the you I wake up to each morning
Every day another chance to say yes to you
Now I love the you I wake up to each morning
Every challenge we go through
I still say yes, I still say yes to you

Not sure it matters
If I find the words
To tell you how I feel
And how much it hurts
To watch you lose bit by bit
To know you’ll lose all of it

Capture the moments
We don’t want to miss
Let go of the memories
That don’t seem to fit
In-to the mold of our lives
Passing By

I tell the story
Of days turned to years
Joy in the laughter
Sadness in tears
To watch you lose bit by bit
To know you’ll lose all of it

I’m glad the anger
Is finally gone
Did it ever matter
Who was right, who was wrong

Capture the moments
We don’t want to miss
Let go of the memories
That don’t seem to fit
In-to the mold of our lives
Passing By

In-to the mold of our lives
Passing By

He doesn’t know his children
Or recognize my face
He can’t recall a memory
Because they’re all erased
But he laughs,
He can laugh,
I love to make him laugh.

I have to hold his hand when
We walk on the road
Just in case he wanders off
And won’t know where to go
But he laughs,
He can laugh,
I love to make him laugh.

I see the sunshine in his eyes
Does he see tears that I cry
When he laughs
When he laughs

He says such funny things
That don’t make sense
Forgotten stories now
There no remember when
But he laughs,
He smiles and he laughs,

I love to make him laugh,
I love to make him laugh

Sit in a chair, collapse and fall
Let out the air, you’re exhausted
Keep on caring but can’t do it all
So you stare like you’re accosted
With all the requests and demands
More than hairs on your head
or grains of sand

In a chair on a beach
In a chair on a beach
In a chair on a beach

Relaxing back, lost in the waves
Toes in the sand, beneath the heat
Feel the warmth of the sun on your face
Watch the gulls flying free
Away from requests and demands
More than hairs on your head
or grains of sand

In a chair on a beach
In a chair on a beach
In a chair on a beach

No holding back the tears start to fall
They dry in the breeze
Letting go brings such relief

In a chair on a beach
In a chair on a beach
In a chair on a beach

Your car quit at a truckstop near Tucson
And home was the last place you called.
You’re crying in the dark.
From a daughter’s broken heart,
Home doesn’t look so bad at all.

When you feel the winds of change,
Life can’t stay the same,
Hope becomes a long and winding road.
Before the journey ends,
Your dream will live again.
The winds of change will turn and you’ll be home.

Your ticket will be at the bus stop
Will you stay for a week, maybe two?
We’ll sit down by the lake,
Help you find the road to take.
Let the dream you lost come back to you.

When you feel the winds of change,
Life can’t stay the same,
Hope becomes a long and winding road.
Before the journey ends,
Your dream will live again.
The winds of change will turn and you’ll be home.

Home is not a place for you to hide
Home is where you learn to fly

When you feel the winds of change,
Life can’t stay the same,
Hope becomes a long and winding road.
Before the journey ends,
Your dream will live again.
The winds of change will turn and you’ll be home.
