Lyrics	Production Notes
Beauty of Us R. Reeves/T.McHugh Fuse is short patience thin Clouds of doubt are rollin in We’ve seen better days Baby every now and then Can’t keep from wonderin How much more we can take And I know it would be so easy To let go Still we keep believin’ Chorus: When it’s all wrong it’s all right Life is a tunnel Love is a light And ours is bright enough It’s gonna rain Let it pour Your still mine And I’m still yours And we're not givin up Oh Baby that’s the beauty of us There were times in the past I was sure  it couldn’t last This would tear us in two And you were all but convinced What we had just didn’t make sense We had nothin’ to lose But as long As we stay together And stay strong Things could only get better Chorus: It’s gonna rain let it pour Your still mine and I’m still yours And were not givin’up No Oh Baby that’s the beauty of us Oh Baby that’s the beauty of  us That’s the Beauty of us That’s the Beauty of us Oh nooo yeah	This is a song about Unconditional Love.  David and I got married so young (20) and had our first child right away.  We were not mature enough to know how to fight fair.  We were financially broke and on top of that I became very sick.  Life cruised along very quickly and stress was very high.  Through all of our trials and tribulations we never lost sight of our love for each other.  Because of these tough trials we know we can make it through anything. The road will not always be easy and you will not always feel like everything is peachy. If you have a relationship built on friendship and love nothing can break that bond.  A great marriage is not by accident, it takes a lot of work, but through the sweat and tears comes a lifetime of love and commitment.  “Beauty of Us” is a song that describes my marriage.  I feel this song and I wanted to share it with others.
Keep Me Forever Falling J. Deere/K. Elam It’s every little girls dream To be swept off her feet And find someone Who will always make her smile Well you’ve got that part down You know I’m falling now And I never ever want it to end So keep me forever falling Chorus: Tell me you’ll love me always And each day of my life I’ll know I had the best Cause you’ll never settle for anything less Just keep me forever falling for you With every flower you bring And every sweet song you sing Every I love you And every note you leave And every soft word you say With every kiss on my face I’ll close my eyes and have all I’ll ever need To keep me forever falling Chorus: Till we’re old and we’re grey Promise me everyday That you’ll keep me forever falling Chorus: Keep me forever falling for you	I do not know a little girl that does not think of her future husband as “Prince Charming” that will come and carry her off to a happily ever after.  When I heard this song all of those feelings flooded my memories.  I watched my little girl play with her dolls and I thought, “what a perfect song.”  This is a song of innocent, naïve love.  What a great way to look at a relationship.  This song sounds simple but be careful because it is a song that you will be singing hours after you heard it.
What I Know Now K. Coffey/W. Kirkpatrick/T. Martin Who’s that little girl in that picture I think it’s someone that I used to know She looks a little bit like me, life time ago Seems like she could use a shoulder Someone who knows what lies ahead If I could go back I would tell her Hang on, life is only going to get better Chorus: She was young and frail, so hard on herself She was a fragile heart, always in doubt She was full of dreams, she thought were out of reach If she only knew what I know now Hmm Hmm I’ve been through the whirlwind of emotions I have loved and lost and loved again And I have learned that time will bring you wisdom Every now and then But every joy and pain was for a reason To get me here, where I belong I think about that girl that I was once It’s good to look and see just how far she’s come Chorus: What I know now Hmm (Oh) She was young and frail, so hard on her self She was a fragile heart, always in doubt She was full of dreams, she thought were out of reach If she only knew Oh yeah I wish she only knew What I know now HHH Oh	I could not have found a song that tugged on my emotions more than this song.  I look at the experiences I have gone through, especially as a child, and I at the time did not know if I could handle them.  I remember my mother saying, “This too will pass,” but it seemed like the end of the world. Those traumatic (at least I thought they were) experiences and scars have made me who I am today.  When I look back at those old pictures, I would love to go back in time and share my wisdom.  I believe a lot can be learned through song and I feel this song can speak to others, like my children, and it is my chance to share what I have learned with someone else that is experiencing guilt, hurt, and lack of self confidence.
One Way to Run J. Deere/K. Lamb/D. Williams I feel like leavin’ And there’s nothin’ here to hold me back I feel like freedom Is calling me For no good reason This urge to run's come over me This time tomorrow who knows where I’ll be Chorus: There’s only one way to run Full speed ahead no turnin’ back Out of the gate like a shot gun There’s nothin’ quite like movin’ fast There’s only one way to run If your heart is in it You’ve got somethin’ worth fightin’ for Don’t wait one minute kick down the door Chorus: Wide open down the road Feel it burn let it go Don’t be afraid to say goodbye Yeah Instrumental Chorus: Yeah I feel like leavin And there’s nothin’ here to hold me back I feel like freedom is calling me	If you are going to be successful in any endeavor in life you have to run at it full force.  You can not look back.  I see so many people in life that work at their job because it is comfortable.  They do not enjoy it and they have dreams that are dying inside of them.  Life is too short to do something you do not enjoy and work with people you do not like.  What a great song of anticipation, excitement and freedom. This is an anthem I am teaching my children and I try to live by everyday.
People Miss Planes L. Hengber/D. Bryant A tear ran down his face As she started to leave He said baby don’t do this I’m beggin you please What can I say to stop you From walkin out on us I’ll do anything to save our love She said I’m through with talkin’ You know I’ve tried my best I’ve got to leave right now I’ve got a plane to catch And he said Chorus: People miss Planes It happens all the time They cancel their plans They change their minds Listen to your heart Before you go too far Baby (You can) turn around before it’s too late People miss planes She made it to the airport In the knick of time In a moment she’d be gone She’d board that flight Yeah she’d fly away from trouble From the struggles that they’d had And from everything that they had shared A tear fell on her ticket As she’d thought about their love Just another minute She’d give it all up Then she heard a voice calling Boarding flight 41 But another voice inside her said You don’t have to get on Chorus: People miss Planes People miss Planes Oh People miss Planes Hmmmm	This song deeply touched me. The first few times I listened to it, I cried.  I thought the title was very intriguing.  I have friends that have made the decision to divorce or marry someone because they felt trapped.  They have already told everyone or sent out invitations when they know it probably is not the right choice for them. “People Miss Planes” is a wake up call because it tells us to slow down and think about the ripple effect it will cause. I feel for both of these people in this song.  There are broken expectations, vulnerability, and isolation on both of their parts. I especially related to the line “Before you go too far.”  It never hurts to take a breath and “catch the next flight.”  I decided to go with this song because it does not spell out the ending for you.  It allows the listener to form their own opinion of the ending.  I choose to believe she went home and they lived happily ever after, now isn’t that an optimist?  How about you, what do you think she did?
Don't Know What Love Is S. Russ/K. Lamb They say Love can build bridges They say It’s a magical place Well I may Never have been there But I'm headin’ that way Yeah I’m learnin’ all about that illusive sensation By the process of elimination Chorus: It’s not wakin' up cryin' It’s not cheatin' and lyin' It’s not feelin' like I have been chasin' a ghost Not the way that you feel When the hurt won’t heal (And)Just breathin' takes all that you’ve got Oh I don’t know what love is, but I know what it’s not Maybe it’s all an illusion Maybe it’s a chance that I missed But I’ve seen some miracles happen So I know love exists From where I’ve been I can see where I’m goin’ Yeah I am closin’ in on this emotion Chorus: There have been traces of heaven Words of compassion To help me believe There is somethin’ more waitin' for me Chorus: Oh I don’t know what love is I don’t know what love is But I know what it’s not	Ooh, I like this song.  What a witty way to express the definition of love.  It approaches love by talking about what it is not which ultimately talks about what it is.  That is deep. This person has obviously been burned and hurt but they haven’t given up on a true love for them.  It paints a great picture.  You can see the whole story unfold.  The most powerful line in the song is “Just breathing takes all that you’ve got.”  I have felt that emotion of being exhausted and whipped but the hook line of the chorus shows that this individual does not get bitter.  This will allow them to truly find the love they are seeking.
Give N. Puno/C. Cameron I don’t get why people walk around unhappy And I don’t get why life’s not always fair And I don’t get why money has to make a difference But I don’t really care Chorus: Cause I know when my life is over It’s gonna matter how I lived And I won’t be measured by the things I’ve got Cause it isn’t what you get It’s what you give So I love every time I get the chance And I laugh just to hear the sound And I live every moment to the fullest As long as I’m around Chorus: So give someone a helpin’ hand Give someone a kiss Give with all your heart and soul It doesn’t matter what it is Just Give Yeah Yeah Cause you know when your live is over It’s gonna matter how you lived And you won’t be measured by the things you’ve got Cause it isn’t what you get It’s what you give Oh Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah Oh Oh It’s what you give Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah	I knew from the first time I listened to the first verse and chorus that I wanted to cut this song. I can not decide what I like better, the music or the lyrics.  Even if I had never heard the lyrics just the music playing brightens my day.  The words really exemplify the kind of person I strive to be.  Life is too short to worry about non-eternal issues...  I don’t want to hold anything back or leave any words of endearment unspoken. This is a message I really want to share with the world.
If I Could Be Anything K. Lamb/W. Duncan/G. Middleman My imagination, has always got somewhere to run Keeps me movin’ to the beat of my own drum This time is all I have I want the world to know me as Chorus: The train that jumps the track If I could be anything Love that won’t hold back If I could be anything The queen of some exotic place completely off the map That would be me, if I can be anything Everyday there’s so much I want to do Paint my own way Make a plan and follow through Rules that don’t apply to me Fuels and makes me want to be Chorus: I won’t be something that I’m not Once I’m runnin’ you can’t stop Chorus: If I could be anything If I could be anything If I could be anything	This is a rockin’ song; it is very short and to the point.  It is one that when it is over you want to play again.  My children love this song because they can relate to it as well.  They love to dream and pretend.  My favorite line is, “Paint my own way, Make a plan and follow through.”  Life is not by accident the only person that restricts you is yourself.  Dream Big, Achieve Big. Dream Little, Achieve Little.
You Know Me K. Lamb Sometimes I get a little crazy Baby you know me And when the sun comes out I’m kinda lazy Yeah you know me The slightest touch Temperamental Well you know me Talkin’ tough But sweet and gentle Yeah you know me Chorus: You know about my private heart You’ve seen the bright side and the dark No one else can see inside me like you do I’ve gotta have my space Every once in a while Baby you know me But it won’t take much To make me smile Yeah you know me Take out food And drive in movies Well You know me Melody that can really move me Baby you know me Chorus: Cause you’re the only one I can tell my secrets to I know with all my heart I can trust in you And it’s the simple things that mean so much Baby you know me Diamond rings just don’t cut it Well you know me Chorus: Yeah Yeah You know me You know me Oh baby you know me You know me Oh baby you know me You know me	This is just a fun song.  It is very playful and it shows a lighter side of me. Women are very complicated creatures with many sides and dimensions.  Only a chosen few ever really get to know us. The greatest feeling in the world is to look at the person next to you knowing they have seen all of these sides and stay anyway.
All The Way R. Proctor/W. Mobley Love, thought I’d been there Looking back how could I even dare Dare to think, I was even close Oh every time before was just almost Just a crush next to this rush Chorus: I think I know what’s comin over me You get close and I get weak Takes my breath each time I hear you say my name Hold my hand I walk on air Never felt like this I swear In your arms I know that I can finally say I’m fallen all the way Dream, I could never Dreams were just a feeling in the air You and me turnin’ into us Oh I guess it’s just love doin’ what it does Can’t stop it now Oh, but who would want to anyhow Chorus: Though it took a little while But every minute every mile I know it’s worth the wait Here goes my heart here goes my soul Up into the great unknown In your arms I know that I can finally say I’m fallen all the way I’m fallen all the way	This is a song that really can not be described.  It is a feeling that you have either felt or you haven’t.  I especially love the work done by Gordon Mote on the piano, because even without the words this song could rip your heart out. My prescription for an incredible experience is this:  Find a quiet time, turn off all of the lights, play this song and remember these emotions and feelings that have been so brilliantly written about.  The music is beautiful and you will not be able to listen just one time.  If you haven’t felt true love - stop reading this and go out and find it!!
