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
