Choose You 03:01
I am a hopeless romantic. I've known this my whole life. But when I met you I knew I was done. Without looking I had won. Cause I know this is so, I don't ever want to let you go. 1 2, I choose you, 3 & 4 I want you more that I ever knew I would. There've been times when I've been lonely. No one but my dog by my side. But you came along when nothing was wrong. That's how I knew you were the one. Cause I know this is so, I don't ever want to let you go. Cause it's 1 2, I choose you, 3 & 4 I want you more that I ever knew I would. Cause I know, this is so, please don't ever, ever let me go. Cause it's 1, 2, I choose you, 3 & 4 please want me more than you ever knew you could. 1, 2, I choose you, 3 & 4 please want me more than you ever knew you could.

Letting Go 02:38
I don't think you are real. I don't think you exist. You are too perfect to be true, so I'm letting go of you. I'm letting go of your face. And I'm letting go of your smile. The way you looked when you're eyes met mine. Yeah, I'm gonna be just fine. I'm not gonna let you get to me like you did back then. Cause now you mean nothing more to me than a made up friend. I'm gonna forget your beard. and I'm gonna forget your words The way you laughed and held my hand. Yeah I'm gonna erase your face. I'm not gonna let you get to me like you did back then. Cause now you mean nothing more to me than a made up friend. I don't think you are real. I don't think you exist. You are too perfect to be true, so I'm letting go of you. I'm letting go of you.

I live quite simply. I don't even need a TV. Just as long as I have someone who will stay with me all day long. And is alright with me. If I'm sad or lonely, will you brighten up my day by shining up my evening? Are you alright with me? If I could have anyone who would be my best friend all day long I would only want to be with you. I'd make all your wildest dreams come true. Cause you're alright with me. If you're sad or lonely I'll make bright your day by shining up your evening. Cause you're alright with me.

I'm here, he's there, us is no longer I fear. I wish that it had lasted longer. We said goodbye a month ago, Still I have not let you go. When will this all be over? Then I moved away from home and I left you all alone. Now i wish that you would come to me. I wish that we could start again, though I know this will never end. Can't we try and talk it over? I want you back in my arms again. We'll make believe we are best friends. Just let me look into your eyes. And I miss you and I want want you. Please come back to me. I'm lonely as can be. Saying goodbye is not the end, we've been in this circle again and again. When will we ever learn?

Dear Darling 04:20
I don't see your side. I don't understand why you're so scared. Just enjoy the ride. Can't you see how much I really care? If you keep selling yourself so short You're gonna miss out on something. Just stay by my side, and you'll be fine CHORUS: Whether there's rain or snow Sunshine or shadows You will see oh darlin' it's you and me Whether I leave or stay, nothing will stand in our way. you will see, darlin' it's you and me. Find a way to let go Find a way to relinquish your control Turn off your mind close your eyes you can put your love, your trust with me. If you will stay then you will clearly see. I promise I'll make you happy. I want to be with you, let me show you that's true. CHORUS

Leave Ohio 04:19
I want to go where no one can find me anymore. and I want to run into the sunrise. I want to go where the rain comes pouring down. and I want to dance beneath the rainbows in the sky. CHORUS: Cause I know, this is it. How many chances does each one of us get? Let me go, leave Ohio, soon you'll see I'll come running right back home. I want to go where the mountains reach the sky and I want to see where the waters meet land. I want to gaze into the darkness with the stars guiding me with their lights. CHORUS One day I'll leave this town behind me. I'll say I don't ever want to look back. Start a new life in a new world far away. Itching to erase the past that made me this way. CHORUS

People Say 02:55
People say you can have too much of a good thing. People say he won't be 'round tomorrow. People say you can't tie him down. Well I don't care what people say, he'll be around tomorrow. What will the people say? They tell me you're better off without him. They tell me girl you're nothing like him. They tell me he doesn't deserve you. Well I don't believe what they tell me, he makes me happy, don't you see? What will the people say? Well I'll show them we have everything in common. And I'll show them we deserve each other. And I'll show them we will last forever. And I don't care what people say. He's my night and I'm his day. What will the people say?

To Stay 03:01
I don't have to wait anymore. Yes I'm done oh yes I'm done. No more wondering anymore cause now I know, yes I know. CHORUS: Cause you're here and you're not leaving. You don't need nobody else. And I'm here and I'm not leaving I don't want nobody else to stay. I don't have to think anymore, Yes I'm done oh yes I'm done. No more worrying anymore, cause now I'm sure, yes I sure. CHORUS And I'm so happy that I found you. You don't need nobody else. And I know that this is it. We don't want nobody else We don't want nobody else We don't want nobody else to stay.

CHORUS: One of these days, one day you'll see me. One of these days, one day you'll meet me. One of these days, one day you'll need me to come on back, come on back, to you. When you left me, I thought for sure that you were gone. That you didn't need me, and it was time to move on. Then I realized that you were there all along. And that you were lonely, but darlin' that's half of the fun. CHORUS You told me you loved me and you wanted to come home. And that you were sorry for all the things that you had done. But I didn't need you the way that you needed me. So that's when I told you darlin' just let me be. CHORUS guitar solo CHORUS But I'm not coming back to you.

Roll Along 02:53
I don't have a story to tell, at least not one that I can tell that well. I don't have a lot to say, I haven't done that much today. But stay with me and you will see, I'm happy as a lamb and busy as a bee. Running all around this town, you'll never see me wear a frown. Cause I'm happy just doing my thing. I'm happy as long as I've got a song to sing. I'm happy with my dog in tow. I'm happy just watching the garden grow. So stay with me and be my friend we'll follow each other around these bends have some coffee and drink so tea, life could be grand just you and me. Let's climb some trees and skip some stones, to find in our hearts a place to call home. Plant some flowers and pull some weeds, bask in the shade of this old oak tree. Cause we're happy, just doing our thing. We're happy as long as we've got a song to sing. We're happy with our dog in tow. We're happy just watching the garden grow. We're happy just singing our song. We're happy just to roll along. Just to roll along, just to roll along.

Stars 02:42
There are stars falling from the sky. and these are stars I can see with my own eyes. And when you look at the sky, do you see them too? And when I look at the sky I think of you. There's a wind, whistling through the trees. And this old wind, it sings for you and me. And when you close your eyes, do you hear it too? Cause when I close my eyes, I think of you. Please don't ever really go away from me. Cause if you ever really left I couldn't be. Look at the sun, shimmering on the sea. And the moon, reflecting down on me. And when you look at the sky, do you see them too? Cause when I look at the sky I think of you. Please don't ever really go away from me. Cause if you ever really left I couldn't be. And when I close my eyes I think of you.
