Let me start by saying that I love you
And not a day goes by where I don't think of you
And I know that it seems crazy
to move away from home to go and chase a dream
But I remember what you told me...
That I could be a deepsea diver, or a racecar driver, if I put my mind to the task
I could be a great life saver, or a big money maker, or even run for President
Now I promise you that I'll be kind and true,
I'll always make the time to talk to you
But you told me I could be anything __ I guess I started listening
I know you're worried that I'll never write the right song
And that I'll come home broke and broken with a decade gone
And I know that, I seem maddening,
that I should away to chase it all the same
But you know what I'm gonna say...
I wanna be a great songwriter with a big hit record so everyone can sing along
Like a country singer, or some big time rocker who's playing on the boulevard
Now I promise you that I'll be kind and true,
I'll always make the time to talk to you
But you told me I could be anything __ I guess I started listening
When my time comes I will pick up my phone
And I'll tell ya "Mama, your baby is coming home..."
And whether it's hat-in-hand or with a hundred grand,
You know that I'll be waiting for you where I stand
But I know what you are gonna say to me...
"That you could be a great songwriter with the big-hit record but I will always sing along
You could be a great life saver, or some big money maker, but you will always be my son
You know I'm proud of you, you were kind and true,
you always made you mother worry much for you
But I told you that you could be anything __ I guess you started listening"

I Still Love You

I just know when you're all alone and you're telling me to come for you
I know you wouldn't have to say much to keep me right here with you
'Cause I love you when I'm tired of being on my own
And I need you when I can't sleep a wink at home
Maybe it's the time __ or maybe it's you __
And all those things that you don't mean to do...
... But I Still Love You
I just know when you're feeling old and you do not think that we will do
I know you wouldn't like the way I'd fall apart right in front of you
'Cause I love you when I'm shaking cold and in my bed
And I need you when I should be at home instead
Maybe it's the time __ or maybe it's you __
and all those things that bring me back to you...
... But I Still Love You
'Cause I love you when I'm tired of being on my own
And I need you when I can't sleep a wink at home
Maybe it's the way __ that, Darlin, you say my name __
that Breaks Me Down __ and puts me right in two ...
... 'cause I Still Love You

It’s just like painting pictures on a wall of broken glass
Every trial is getting harder than the task before the last
But I cannot pretend, that you were not my friend__
But you must understand
I don’t want no lover, I am used to being used,__ but
Now I think that it can wait ‘til after we are through
If you feel a cold wind blow__ deep inside my soul__
__ then you'll know
But if you ask me to I’ll take you home
Someplace quiet we can be together and alone
But if you ask me to then we can go home,
With love left, on our own
If you want a picture from the many I have saved
Just so I might set the mood for some brighter happy day
But I can not pretend, that all the time we spent
Didn't mean a thing
I didn’t want no lover, I just want to be amused,__ but
Now I think that it can wait ‘til after we are through
Do you feel it all__ and how it's in this song__
__ so it goes
But if you ask me to I’ll take you home
We’ll sit a while, drink a while, and we can be alone
But if you ask me to then we can go home,
With love left, on our own
How could the air hang around all debonaire
Its consuming and assuming like the perfume in your hair
Would you take my hand and fly away like Peter Pan
Somewhere we can go together, far away like Neverland
But I don’t want no lover now, you’re looking for a friend
And I just fear that we might wait until our bitter end
Do you feel my heart? __ And how its torn apart __
__ just for you
But if you asked me to I’d go along
Just to prove to you that I don’t need another song
But if you ask me to then we can go home...
And if you asked me to I’d fly away
On what would be the type of breeze to blow your dress away
And if you ask me to then we can go home...

Your Song

Well it's been a little while since I last tried to make you smile
What is left for me to do but write it out in a blues
But this ain't a song __ to say I'm sorry, or I was wrong
This is a way __ of letting you I'm doing ok
Well it's been a year or two since I last really spoke to you
You know I hope you're happy with him so we don't ever have to speak again
But this ain't a song __ to say I'm sorry, or I was wrong
This is a way __ of letting you I'm doing ok
I must've wrote about 100 songs for you, but now you just have 2
They're about moving far away and moving on from you
But this ain't a song __ that you write when you're in love
This is what you __ get when you are no longer my muse
This is your song
