Song Lyrics
Someday - Stare out across the valley, watch the clouds rollin' in, Rain coming north on a south by southwest wind, The change in the
air, not the first of the day, I woke this morning found a note and read her say, Ch - I don't love you, so I'd best be moving on, Married
too young, we'll never grow as one, There's so much more I want to see, leaving is my way, Forgive me, perhaps you will someday;
Dropped my head in disbelief, that she's really gone, There's no one here for me now, somehow I'll go on, The clouds are getting darker,
and my life feels so gray, But I'll try to understand each time I read her say, Ch, Bridge - This ole heart's still broken ten years to the
day, When forever comes will I still read her say, Ch, Someday, someday.

My Heart is Here to Stay - Across the mountains lies the setting sun, Another night without you's just begun, Questions to ask with
answers I'll never know, Like the clouds they come and go, Tomorrow I'll learn more things I must do, Because I've come to terms on life
without you, I will never know what lies in my way, A new story unfolds each day, Ch - I'm back on my own, eyes open wide, I now know
true peace comes from inside, A mirror showed me the past, where I had been, now I see a long lost friend, Through it all I had my family
and friends , and it feels great to be myself again, There's so much love around me, I'm amazed, I believe my heart is here to stay; As I
breathe the air and smell the rain, I know I've come to be, I feel no pain, Loneliness can't steal my heart away, Even in the darkest time
of day, So I'll sit and watch the stars come out, Take nothing for granted, not even a smile, How I cherish this time at home, I no longer
feel alone, Ch, Tag - There's so much love around me night and day, I believe my heart is here to stay, my heart is here to stay.

Bottle of Tears - Ch - Bottle of tears that I have to give, follow my Lord as long as I live, Love and laughter, joy and fears, all inside a
little bottle of tears; Mary washed the feet of her Lord, and let down her long, dark hair, Neither Simon nor any other ever saw her
standing there, Her teardrops cleansed his feet as she bid him glory, She washed away the dust of the road, just a bit of the story, Ch,
Mary stood outside of the place where her beloved lay, Felt the earth move under her feet as Gabriel rolled the stone away, In a robe
as white as snow, he showed her the empty tomb, Go now and tell all the others how his tears have saved you, Ch, Two thousand years
have gone since the king of the Jews, Came to save everybody, brothers and sisters, and me and you too, You never know what might
come inside a little bitty jar, Pass the word to all of the nations, tell the news near and far, hey, hey, hey, Ch, …that I have to give,
follow my Lord as long as I live, Love and laughter, joy and fears, All inside a little bottle of tears.

The Home I'd Come to Know - I walk through these rooms of this home I've come to know, Once colored with laughter, now the
shadows haunt me so, The early years, I recall when love opened this door, But now our lives are shades of gray, can't take it anymore,
Decisions that I've made and the pain that it takes, To protect the young and innocent, in this there's no mistake, I'll wear this heavy
burden, chains of my choice, I tell them how it must be now, there's sorrow in my voice, Ch - There never is a right time or place, To
say what now has to come as I look upon their face, But happiness and dreams, both left me long ago, And though it hurts, it's time to
leave, the home I've come to know; A new life I will find, my past I'll pack away, And new steps lay before me on this still November day,
My memories are collected and wrapped up in this box, I leave this home I've come to know and turn the front door lock, Ch, TAG - Yes
happiness and dreams, both left me long ago, Though it hurt, it was time to leave, the home I'd come to know.

Big Nose Kate - Mary Katherine is my name, Earthly pleasure is my game, I came west one year ago, Riding with the man that I love so,
I met Doc in a Texas town, Thought that we might settle down, But we followed the silver trail, Down to Tombstone, where my story has
its tale, Ch - Late October, 'Eighty-one, Doc and Wyatt got their guns, The Earps and Cowboys and my Doc, bound for their fate in a
vacant lot, From the window of Fly's Boar-ding House, I can see Doc facing them down, He's good, you know, he's never been beat, and
now this fight on Fremont Street, Ch2 - Who fired the first shot none can tell, what happened next was earthly hell, The sounds of
gunfire filled the air, dust, smoke, and bullets were everywhere, And in the silence after the gunfight, three Cowboys sleep the long
night, But Doc's all right, it's only a scratch, just not the time yet to meet his match, Doc and Wyatt, they were friends, But they came
to different ends, Wyatt traveled far and wide, Doc lies in a Glenwood Springs gravesite, Mary Katherine is my name, And Lord, I'm
weary of this game, I'm left here old and all alone, To spend my last days in this pioneer home.

A Place in My Heart - My heart holds a place where special ones belong, Family, dear friends, photographs of times long gone, It loves
without question and it knows no bounds, For those who've touched me so, There's a place in my heart that knows, Ch - People, places,
memories in life that I hold dear, 'Cross thousands of miles they bring a smile, I can reach down and touch them and always hold them
near, 'Cause I keep them here, anytime wherever they are, in a place in my heart; Wisdom from my father, love from my mom, These
things I hold close to me as each day moves along, When I'm far away, on the road, or even close to home, They're always here inside,
In a place in my heart for life, Ch, Ch.

A Little Boy - His daddy passed away before he was ten, The war took him away from those who loved him and then, A boy was left to
grow up without the man he knew, The many times they'd spent alone now seemed all too few, He learns the hard way, no one shows him
how, A bloody nose at school today, he's growing fast by now, His stride much larger since he's on his own, Can life be any harder
without a dad at home, Ch - A little boy too small, Forced to be a man through it all, Heading on a journey, trying to cross a void, But
it's mighty hard to make it by when he's just a little boy; His momma cries as she watches from the window in the house, He's playing
catch with uncle Mike and laughing , out loud, There'll always be something missing but he keeps wishing, A memory is all that's left for
his lonely times in life, Ch, Tag - Yes it's, mighty hard to make it by, he's just a little boy.

Time Will Tell - Driving down the road, headlights point the way, Can't find a station for my radio to play, A fog in my head and on this
traveled road, Don't recall where I've been or where I'll go, We both said words better left unsaid, Can't get that moment out of my
head, Ch - Will this road pave a way to find, And inter the past in our hearts and minds, Will we look from the wounds and not rebel,
While the pain burns as the world turns, And well, time will tell; Vivid illusions come as the wounds enflame, Can't see the faces, don't
know the names, How can something decay my very soul, What once so rich now a fools' gold, We both missed a sign along the way, As
yesterday's tomorrow turned to hell today, Ch.

Above and Beyond - A poor lost soul no home my own, sick and hungry, cold and alone, A heart full of anger and of hate, For years I'd
been down and out, nights on end crying out loud, Convinced a roll of the dice held my fate - Ch - Then I recalled the one who died for
me, brave and alone on Calvary, His heart full of faith in God, a trust upon which no one had trod, A love he shared above and beyond;
Now I see the world go by, many folks in desperate times, Believing their cries for help go unheard, Faith for some may lead to a fall, it
did for me until I recalled, God answers with unspoken words-Ch And I recalled - Ch - The Lord he died for you and me…His love he shares
above and beyond.

Just Let Me Go - Long ago I said goodbye, told you exactly why, The truth always hurts, but the heart won't lie, Looking back it's
crystal clear and I don't shed a tear, But you can't seem to get on with your life, Ch - So let it go, just let me go, Why do you still live in
the past, Time to face the cold hard facts, you knew it would never last, Time to go, move along, just let me go; Day to day, near or
far, in the shadows there you are, To remind me of a time you should forget, Though you try to bring me down, I just turn my head
around, Cause in leaving you, I have no regret, Ch, Bridge - The king of fools and the queen of stone shared nothing but pain, Our
versions of all that was will never be the same, Ch, TAG - Time to go, move along, just let me go, Time to go, move along, just let me go,
Time to go, move along, just let me go.
