Better This Way

It’s 10 am and I made my peace
With Hollywood, I’m headed east to Charleston
It’s such a long way from here
I don’t know if we’ll meet again
I thank God I ever met you at all
How beautiful we both cried
If you are the one
It’s better this way
You’ll find me again
If you’re not the one, God knows
It’s better this way, much better this way
It’s not like me to let it show
But surely you could see you left me breathless
With every word you said
You sent me a text and I think that’s fine
But I’d rather hear the voice that had me falling
I’m hoping you’ll call me too
If you are the one
It’s better this way
You’ll find me again
If you’re not the one, God knows
It’s better this way, much better this way
I know you’re chasing all the beauty that you see
But I don’t care, that’s what I tell myself when you’re not chasing me
It’s not like me to let it show
But surely you can tell I’m moving on
But I’ll never be too far gone
If you are the one
I know in my heart
It’s better this way
If you’re not the one, God knows
It’s better this way, much better this way
It’s better this way, much better this way
It’s better this way, much better this way

Ooh You

Who’d have thought we’d get through it?
I nearly threw away all the life of me that’s worth keeping,
But you love more than you break
And it's you, ooh you, I want for nothing more
It's you, ooh you, no one else will ever do
I want for nothing more.
Here we are, good or better,
Choosing what is right
A subtle sign keeps our faith, our hope alive
And it's you, ooh you, I want for nothing more
And it's you, ooh you, nothing else will ever do
I want for nothing more.
You lifted me up
You gave me strength to start again
So brand new
And it's you, ooh you, I want for nothing more
It's you, ooh you, ooh you, I want for nothing more
It's you, ooh you, you're the one who pulled me through
I want for nothing more

I could be your mother
You can be my child
And we can hold on to each other
As we lie in Jesus’ arms
As we lie in Jesus’ arms
I could be your sister
There is no shame my brother in breaking down
And our tears will wash away the sadness
As we cry in Jesus’ arms
As we cry in Jesus’ arms
As we cry in Jesus’ arms
I could be your daughter
You can call me child
And we can save the world from darkness
As we shine in Jesus’ arms
As we shine in Jesus’ arms
As we shine in Jesus’ arms
As we shine in Jesus’ arms, in Jesus’ arms

All of My Friends

Long ago, my teacher told me
Imperfect people choose their state of mind
Such is life, when being pretty
Is the obsession occupying all our time
Some sigh, it’s only human nature to mind
He said whoa…not my kind, not mine
As for me and all of my friends, love is truly ruling our lives
Even if we lose everything, love is all we need to get by
And he said, gather round all of you people
Let’s get together on a higher ground
No need for strife or building cities
Every possession is a total waste of time
Sometimes, don’t it feel like you’re losing your minds?
He said, whoa…not my kind, not mine
As for me and all of my friends, love is truly ruling our lives
Even if we lose everything, love is all we need to get by
If we really want things to change, maybe we should start with our minds
Won’t you go and tell all your friends, love is all we need to get by?
He said whoa…
As for me and all of my friends, love is truly ruling our lives
Even if we lose everything, love is all we need to get by
If we really want things to change, maybe we should start with our minds
Won’t you go and tell all your friends, love is all we need to get by?

Silly Happy

I’m feeling silly happy
Now all I want to do is play
And when my heart starts singing
It makes me happy just to sing...
Outside beneath the sunny skies, with my dogs right by my side
As I lay back on the grass it feels like heaven
And my mind wanders through the trees and the birds are always home
And it always makes me feel this happy
I’m feeling silly happy
Now all I want to do is play
And when my heart starts singing
It makes me happy just to sing...
Of when they play my favorite songs on the radio at night
And my boyfriend’s singing all his silly love songs
Oh yes he’s singing just for me and I always sing along
And it always makes me feel this happy
I’m feeling silly happy
Now all I want to do is play
And when my heart starts singing
It makes me happy just to...
Think about this life and all the wonder, every moment
Oh I believe that laughing works like magic
Why not get high on life for free?
I’m feeling silly happy
Now all I want to do is play
And when my heart starts singing
It makes me happy just to sing
I’m feeling silly happy
Now all I want to do is play
And when my heart starts singing
It makes me silly happy

White Dress
03:01

Your eyes, how they draw me in
Your smile, your smile says it all
And the sweet sound of the violins
Is guiding my feet down the isle
They say that I’m old fashioned and that’s alright
Cuz the way that I was fashioned feels so right
I’ll be wearing a white dress with God as my witness
I’ll say I do and you may kiss your bride
I’ll be wearing a white dress, we’ll take our first steps
And dance the night away veiled in white
Your hands how they draw me in
Your warm embrace is my reward
And the sweet sound of your gentle voice
Is sweeping my feet off the ground
Ooh feels so right
Ooh I’ve waited all my life
I’ll be wearing a white dress with God as my witness
I’ll say I do and you may kiss your bride
I’ll be wearing a white dress, we’ll take our first steps
And dance the night away veiled in white
We’ll dance the night away feels so right
Dance the night away veiled in white
