Leave It All Behind

When I walked into the room
And saw you standing there
I was captivated by your smile
And the highlights in your hair
As I gazed into your deep blue eyes
I nearly lost my nerve
For you were everything I hoped for
And more than I deserve

I will leave it all behind
And begin my life anew
Yes I'll leave it all behind
Just to start again with you

I have come to know your heart
Is more precious than the rest
And it fills me with true happiness
Mine has somehow passed the test
I can't believe we're standing here
Beneath these golden rays
So I pledge to you my steadfast love
Until the end of days

I can't wait to spend all my days with you
Cause I want to make all your dreams come true
I'll give everything I have to make everything brand new
To live for you is all I want to do

Will You Marry Me

I can't believe I'm doing this
I'm crazy, yes it's true
But ever since the day we met
I've been crazy over you
My heart is filled with joy
At each mention of your name
And I hope that you are feeling the same

Each day we spend together
Is more precious than the last
The future looks much brighter now
Than ever in the past
I thought my time was over
I had given up and then
Lightning came and struck me again

You have made me the happiest man
This world has ever known
And I want to spend all my days
With you and you alone
So now I ask you this
For all the world to see
Oh my darling, will you marry me

Heroes In High Places

Your destiny's unsettled
The future is unclear
you find yourself wondering
Just what you're doing here
The rut you see you're stuck in
Doesn't have a gentle slope
But I tell you there's a way out
You don't have to give up hope

Reach out your hand, I'll take it
Ask for a path, I'll make it
Just put your trust in me
I won't let you down
I didn't die and rise again
To see you left without a friend
If you're looking for heroes in high places
This one wears a crown

You don't have to wander
Through the desert of despair
Running after each mirage
To find salvation there
The fool's gold of false promises
And things that cannot last
Won't get you what you're searching for
It's to me you must hold fast

Jersey Girl

I'm crazy 'bout a girl I've never met
And she's all that I can think of
She's the one I can't forget
I'm scared about the way she makes me feel
It would surely break my heart
If I found it isn't real
But I'm gonna take a leap of faith
And dream about her warm embrace

Oh Jersey girl, oh Jersey girl
Would you like to be my valentine
Oh please say you'll be my Jersey girl
Give this California boy your heart, be mine

We're supposed to get together in the spring
Down in the dirty south
At the Houston gathering
I just can't wait for the day
That I gaze at her sweet smile
And I have the chance to say
I'm so happy that we're finally here
And I have the chance to hold you near

Now Is Not The Time

I have only known her for a little time
But since we met she's all that's on my mind
I wonder if she feels the same
But I'm afraid of what I'll find
If it's not reflected back to me in kind

I want to tell her how I feel
But now is not the time
I want to take the dream and make it real
Maybe someday I can make her mine
But for now I'll keep on dreaming
That I can turn the water into wine
I'm waiting for a miracle
'Cause now is not the time

If I go and take a leap of faith
Is it my heart's destiny to break
I've been there many times before
But there's only so much I can take
Is the risk too high to let the dream awake

I'm praying that this miracle is true
'Cause it's time I said this song is about you

I've Got A Crush On You

We see each other nearly every day
And every time it happens
I just have the urge to say
That I love the way you smile
Cause it's in your eyes as well
But I'm a little shy in case you couldn't tell

Would you like to go out with me
Cause I'd love to spend some time with you
Get to know you better
Learn the things you like to do
I've got a crush on you

Writing this makes me a little scared
You might see me different
When I have my feelings bared
There's a chance that you won't like it
And think I crossed the line
Well if it's so the blame is purely mine

We've known each other for so long
But never really known
How that we would get along
Once our feelings have been shown
I'm hoping we can see each other
Outside these four walls
Well what do you say
Do you want to play
Will you answer the call

No Plan B

I never lied to you
Every word I said was true
So how can you stand there and tell me
That you were deceived

I told you the way that I feel
My emotions were just too real
And instead of taking me at my word
You refused to believe

I tried to explain
But it wasn't enough
To overcome your doubts

Where do I go from here
What I thought was finally clear
The clouds have taken away
This future from me
All those nights on the telephone
Chasing dreams in search of a home
It was all for nothing
If I can't get you to see
You were no Plan B

Now that a week has gone by
I still don't have a reason why
But whatever made you change your mind
It don't matter to me

If I haven't earned your trust
Everything will just crumble to dust
And there's no solution as far
As these eyes can see

It's all up to you
Take a leap of faith
Or take the easy way out

I don't know what to say
There was no Plan A
There wasn't any game
I was trying to play
You were the only one
That I hoped would be here to stay
