I took him for granted
Now looking back at it
He's not the only one to blame
Between the jobs and the kids
Wasn't much time for him
We let the fire slip away from the flame

Guess I shouldn't be surprised
But as hard as I try
I can't believe it's happened to me
But I know where he's at
And I know it's a fact
I'd have to be blind not to see

He's out buying her roses
And where that leaves me, God only knows
I know I should tell him to leave me forever
But what'll I do if he goes

Should I put up a fight
Does it matter who's right
Should I ruin my life or my pride
Can we save what we had
And if he comes back
Will I ever get it out of my mind

He's out buying her roses
And where that leaves me, God only knows
I know I should tell him to leave me forever
But what'll I do if he goes

He's out buying her roses
And where that leaves me, God only knows
I know I should tell him to leave me forever
But what'll I do if he goes
What'll I do if he goes
What'll I do if he goes

2,000 years ago, three wise men left their home
When an angel of the Lord
Said, "Seek the Savior born"
Logic told them they were crazy
They shouldn't even try
The followed their hearts, they followed that star
This Christmas, let me be that wise

2,000 years ago, Mary left her home
An angel said, "Have faith"
The Lord will light your way
The road was long and winding
But a promise had been made
From heaven above, that was enough
This Christmas, let me keep that faith

This Christmas, let this be the season
Of peace and love, joy and true believing
2,000 years ago, as everybody knows
A perfect baby lay
Asleep there in the hay
The world would not believe Him
But he loved them all so much
On that first night, He was the light
This Christmas, let me feel that love

Keep that faith, be that wise, feel that love
This Christmas

If you see him
Tell him I wish him well
How am I doing?
Well sometimes it's hard to tell
I still miss him more than ever
But please don't say a word
If you see him
Oh, if you see him

If you see her
Tell her I'm doing fine
And if you want to, say that I think of her from time to time
Ask her if she ever wonders where we both went wrong
If you see her
If you see her

Oh, I still want her
And I still need him so
Oh I don't know why we let each other go

If you see her
Tell her the light's still on for her
Nothing's changed
Deep down the fire still burns, for him

And even if it takes forever
Say I'll still be here
If you see him
If you see her
If you see him
If you see her

Love's the only thing I know in this life
That's cut me deeper than the sharpest knife
And once again here I am and I'm paying the price for a new love
I still hurt the one I lost
Standing here on a bridge that I can't get across
And I can't burn but I will when I walk with a new love

Chorus:
I believe
It's gonna be better then ever before
Thats why I'm looking for
A new love
For this old heart
A new love
And I just can't wait to start
I wanna feel that way again
Oh when I find a new love
For this old heart of mine

Say I'm looking for a new love
Somebody tell me where I find a new love
For this old heart of mine

Love's the only thing that's ever made me cry
Nothing's ever made me feel more alive
Thats why once again here I am
Looking for the eyes of a new love

I know that somewhere in this world tonight
There's a guy, and I'd take a bus, car, a train or a flight
I'd even walk if I thought I might find a new love

Chorus:

Said I need a new love
For this ol' heart of mine

Chorus:

Oh I'm looking for a new love
For this old heart of mine

Oh I'm looking for a new love
For this old heart of mine

Say I need a new love
For this old heart of mine

Oh I'm looking for a new love
Somebody tell me where I'll find
For this old heart of mine

The house stood empty on a corner
Waiting for a brand new owner
A soldier off to war who had to leave his bride alone

She couldn't buy too many nice things
On a GI bill and daydreams
But she tried until they told her
He was never coming home

Chorus:
Small two bedroom starter
Needs a little fixing
A great big yard for kids and pets to play
This one won't last too long
It's close to schools and churches
Owner leaving town
You better hurry down today

Bought by the high school teacher
Sold it to a baptist preacher
Who couldn't pay his taxes
Cause his flock had gone astray
So the banker fenced the yard in
Planted trees and half a garden
The man from Dallas kept it up
Till he moved away

Repeat Chorus

You and I we built the playroom
For the baby that came too soon
Spent money that we didn't have
Trying to make this place our own

Lord it makes me feel like dying
After all these years of trying
Honey we'll just bought this house
That we can't seem to make a home

Repeat Chorus

Small two bedroom starter
Waiting for a brand new owner

. . .


Tell me why do you put up with my foolish ways
You never take to heart the crazy things I say
Oh I know you could walk out on me any day
There must be a darn good reason why you'd even want to stay

Chorus:
You must really love me
How can it be true
There are things you'll take from me
I won't even take from you
Everytime I fall apart
You always pull me through
You must really love me
As much as I love you
You must really love me
As much as I love you

I appreciate the honesty you've shown to me
And the way you tell your friends that you belong to me
And when you hold me tight it always sets me free
Oh this must be the way that true love was meant to be

Repeat Chorus (And Lord I'm glad you do)

A soft summer evening, another time, another place
He brought her red roses on their very first date
She got carried away by the things that he said
Time would erase them but she would never forget

CHORUS 1:
And the roses heard it all
The rose in her hair, the rose in her hand
The roses in the paper on the wall
There's a story to tell if the roses could talk

Somewhere close to midnight, another time, another place
She lays in the darkness with tears on her face
While he talks in his sleep confessing his love
He calls out a name that she's never heard of

Chorus 2:
And the roses heard it all
The rose in the vase, that sat by their bed
The roses in the paper on the wall
There's a story to tell if the roses could talk

She never told him
She never let him see her cry
Only the roses know
What she kept down inside

The years took their toll and the angels took her away
Now there's family and friends at a cold winter's grave
He kneels down and whispers. "You're the only love that I've known"
As he lays a rose on a cold marble stone

Chorus 3:
But the roses heard it all
The rose from her garden, the rose in her Bible
The roses in the paper on the wall
There's a story to tell if roses could talk
What a story they'd tell if roses could talk~

. . .


She can concentrate on working
Until her work is done
She can hold a conversation
As well as anyone
She'll fool you with sincerity
And if you didn't know her well
You could never see it
You could never tell

Chorus:
She's just looking for him
She's only remembering
She might look like she's ready to fall in love again
But she's just looking for him

She keeps one eye on the road
And one on the other lane
Looking for his car
His memories replay
She searches other faces
Trying to find that spot
But no one new can reach her
Or fill her hollow heart

Chorus

Oh you better keep your distance
Don't let her reel you in
She's not quite herself now
How could she be when

Chorus

. . .


Oh ain't life wonderful when everything is right?
But sometimes wonderful can fall apart sometimes
And when your troubles knock you down
Pick yourself up off the ground

(chorus)
And walk on
Walk on
Nothin ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Oh, walk on
Don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light till you find the sun
And you'll be better off in the long run
And walk on

Oh it's a heartache when love comes to an end
And even though your heart breaks
You know it's gonna mend
Keep the faith right through the fire
Don't you ever break your stride

(chorus) 2x

Walk on
Walk on
Oh walk on
Walk on
Walk on

Some folks say that a mother's love is sweeter than the rest
When her baby's nestled in her arms and feeding at her breast
But I can't explain the feeling when you reach and touch my hand
Because there's nothing like the love between and woman and a man

It's a miracle from heaven
That it fills me through and through
Like a feeling that surrounds us
Touching me touching you
When you wrap your love around me it's not hard to understand
Why there's nothing like the love between and woman and a man

Well the father's love is quiet
But it's there for all to see
When a little boy is laughing bouncing on his daddy's knee
Then those great big hands reach down to tuck his little cowboy in
But there's nothing like the love between a woman and a man

It's a miracle from heaven
That it fills me through and through
Like a feeling that surrounds us
Touching me touching you
When you wrap your love around me it's not hard to understand
Why there's nothing like the love between and woman and a man

It's a miracle from heaven
That it fills me through and through
Like a feeling that surrounds us
Touching me touching you
When you wrap your love around me it's not hard to understand
Why there's nothing like the love between and woman and a man

It's a miracle from heaven
That it fills me through and through
Like a feeling that surrounds us
Touching me touching you
When you wrap your love around me it's not hard to understand
Why there's nothing like the love between and woman and a man

It's a miracle from heaven
That it fills me through and through
Like a feeling that surrounds us
Touching me touching you
When you wrap your love around me it's not hard to understand
Why there's nothing like the love between and woman and a man
