It’s hard to have hope in a world full of pain
But you care for me and I trust you, you show me the way
All that there is and all there could be
You help me find it and grasp it to get what I need
I’m making plans for myself, taking charge
But where you go, I’ll go if you lead me
Where you go, I’ll go if you lead me
I might tread from the trail but I’ll always be there
Where you go, I’ll go if you lead me
Where you go I’ll go...
We don’t always know how but we figure it out
In a world full of colors I’m learning to live in the crowd
I’m feeling new things deep down in my bones
With so many voices it’s hard to know which way to go
And now I’m sharing my life with someone new
No I don’t always go where you lead me
I don’t always go where you lead me
I’m part of a team and I got my own dreams
I don’t always go where you lead me
No I don’t always go...
Now I’ve got people counting on me
And I got places I need to be
But somehow you come through
Your face shines like it’s new
As you fade away to another place
At the end of my days I hope I can look back
And say that I lived a life half as good as the one that you had
Yeah I know where to go cause you led me
I know where to go cause you led me
Even now that you’re gone I know how to go on
I know where to go cause you led me
Yeah I know where to go cause you led me
Yeah I know where to go
Yeah I know where to go cause you led me

Take Care of the Baby
03:47
|
|

They brought you home
In a blue and white blanket
And I looked over
At a perfect tiny baby
And for the first time
I was bigger than someone
Cause I wasn't even two myself
And Mama said it's time for bed
And I said you go to bed and
I'll take care of the baby, of the baby
You go to bed and
I’ll take care of the baby, of the baby
And when it rained
We'd take off our shoes and go outside
And we played
Til it was time to rest our tired eyes
But our pillows talked
And forts grew tall in our room
And mama tried to separate us
But she would underestimate us
Yeah I'd make it back cause
I take care of the baby, of the baby
I’d make it back cause
I take care of the baby, of the baby
You can grow taller than the trees and me
You can go anywhere you wanna be
But it will always be you and me
And now we're grown
And you're better than I'll ever be
And you have shown me
More love than I could ever dream of
Now we don't build forts
But I am yours forever
No I'll never stop cause
I take care of the baby, of the baby
I’ll never stop, no
I take care of the baby, of the baby
I'll never stop, no
I take care of the baby, of the baby
I'll never stop, no
I take care of the baby, of the baby
And the baby takes care of me

Lose You (If I Have To)
03:41
|
|||
|
I remember the first one who left me
I thought that was the worst it would ever be
Then someone came and they lifted me up off my knees
Oh when they left me, that was the worst it would be
Oh my god
I think that I might lose you
Like the other ones before you
Oh my love
I don't wanna lose you
But I guess I will if I have to
We could get married or we could fall out of this
Everything's simple til one of us calls it quits
Why's it every time I think I lose my mind and I spin
Around and out of focus cause it can't get worse than it is
Oh my god
I think that I might lose you
Like the other ones before you
Oh my love
I don't wanna lose you
But I guess I will if I have to
Is it even worth it if it's gonna end
How do we know, how do we know?
There'd be nothing in the world that's worse than that
Cause you're my favorite one of all
Oh my god…
Oh my love
I don’t wanna lose you
But I guess I will if I have to
If I have to

Tomorrow

Late night
We’ve been arguing since midnight
Getting nowhere and I’m so damn tired
Drenched eyes
Even you feel like you wanna cry
I think this might be our worst fight yet
And I’ll still love you more tomorrow
You get mean when you’re hungry
I yell when I’m angry
Got habits from my dad I shouldn’t borrow
You got ghosts from your past
And you know I got lots of that
But here I am and there’s one thing that I know
Baby I’ll still love you more tomorrow
It’s no coincidence
Every choice we made that led to this
Every turn I took that brought me here
So I could love you more tomorrow
You get mean when you’re hungry
I yell when I’m angry
Got habits from my dad I shouldn’t borrow
You got ghosts from your past
And you know I got lots of that
But here I am and there’s one thing that I know
Baby I’ll still love you more tomorrow
All the things that had to be
For you to find the path to me
Same place, same time, wrong hat
Imagine if I hadn’t noticed that
You’d get mean when you’re hungry
And I’d yell when I’m angry
But who’d give you bad directions on the drive home?
You got ghosts from your past
I love the man made from all that
Yeah here I am and there’s one thing that I know
I’ll always love you even more tomorrow
Yeah baby I will love you more tomorrow

What I Had
03:21
|

|
They say you don’t know what you got til it’s gone
And you want it all back when it all goes wrong
If you take it all for granted
You’ll want it like you had it
But if I had you, I promise I’d know what I had
I wouldn’t need no one to tell me how good I got it
If I had you, I’d already know
That I found what I’d always wanted
If I had you, I promise I’d know what I had
You’d never see me lookin’ back
If I had you, I promise I’d know what I had
As soon as something starts to get in the way
People wanna give up, they start walking away
But I won’t be in any hurry
You wouldn’t have to worry
But if I had you I promise I’d know what I had
I wouldn’t need no one to tell me how good I got it
If I had you, I’d already know
That I found what I’d always wanted
If I had you I promise I’d know what I had
You’d never see me turnin’ back
If I had you, I promise I’d know what I had
If I had you I promise I’d know what I had
I wouldn’t need no one to tell me how good I got it
If I had you, I’d already know
That I found what I’d always wanted
If I had you I promise I’d know what I had
You’d never see me lookin’ back
If I had you, I promise I’d know what I had
I promise I’d know what I had
I promise I’d know what I had

I Can't Make You Love Me
Was just a song til I met you
When you're not thinking of me
You can bet I'm thinking of you
Birds fly with the wind
I fly to you
I think you want me
But something is stopping you
From flying too
I call out your name
You call it a season
For us, but I pray
It's more like the reason
The days turn into nights
When you sleep by my side
Until our hearts stand still
If loving you don't kill me
You not loving me will
Every day's my last day
Until it ain't, I'm never through
Every day chips away
A bit of me, I give to you
And you try but you can't hide
What you don't feel
And if I lose you
You'll be able to move on
But I won't heal
I call out your name
You call it a season
For us, but I pray
It's more like the reason
The days turn into nights
When you sleep by my side
Until our hearts stand still
If loving you don't kill me
You not loving me will
If loving you don't kill me
You not loving me will
