Country Songs

When I See Her Children
When I see her children
it makes me wonder why
they look just like their mother
and like that...other guy
and when I see them laughing
I think of how she’d smile
and I’ve loved her all these years and that’s a long, long while

When I see his children
I think what might have been
they might have got my brown eyes
or maybe just my chin
and when I see them running
I think of how we’d walk
and on we’d go for hours only just to talk...

ah but I’m alright
I’m okay
I’m better now
I must say...

When I see her children
it seems like yesterday
when love was ripe for picking
like a spring bouquet
and when I see them climbing
I think of how I fell
and I’ve loved her all these years I’ve love him all these years
I’ve loved you all these years
but I promise not to tell...

It Never Got Better Than Loving You
It’s been a long long time
since our paths crossed
the love we felt
somehow got lost
but I know for sure
I guess you do too
IT NEVER GOT BETTER (THAN LOVIN’ YOU)

You were eighteen
I was the same
we were too young
love was a game
But even then
I think we knew
IT NEVER GOT BETTER
IT NEVER GOT BETTER (THAN LOVIN’ YOU)

all the summer nights we’d lie there by the old barn
and promise each other, we’d never love another
‘n fall asleep in each other’s arms...

In my mind
your face I see
in my heart
you’ll always be
look at you now
my how you grew
IT NEVER GOT BETTER
IT NEVER GOT BETTER
IT NEVER GOT BETTER (THAN LOVIN’ YOU

I Knew
There’s somebody else
I felt it for the longest while
hiding there behind your smile
unspoken...it’s broken

after all that we’ve been through
there’s nothing you can do...my love
to keep my heart from knowing
though I chose to smile instead
and live with what’s unsaid
what I never told you is...I KNEW

So turn out the light
don’t bother to explain
I’ve learned to live with all the pain and the alibis...don’t act surprised

(Chorus)

I hoped that you would come around
and I prayed you’d find your way back home...

After all that we’ve been through
I still gave my love to you...and still
my heart was breaking
‘n though I chose to smile instead and live with what’s unsaid
what I never told you is...I KNEW what you didn’t know is...I KNEW

She's Always There For Me
In a world that moves so fast
you turn around, your time has passed
I’ve gotta love I know will last
SHE’S ALWAYS THERE FOR ME

When my dreams don’t come true
and I’m at a loss for what to do
I lean on her to get me through
SHE’S ALWAYS THERE FOR ME

She’s always there like the moon & the stars
A light when I can’t see
leading me home, I’m never alone
She’s always there for me...

(lead/repeat bridge)

Years may come and years may go
leave me with not much to show
but in this life, one thing I know
SHE’S ALWAYS THERE FOR ME
SHE’S ALWAYS THERE FOR ME

That's When I Miss You The Most
When the storm is on the horizon
and the grey clouds turn to black
and the raindrops hit my rooftop
it always takes me back...

and I remember how I’d tease you
when the thunder scared you so...

THAT’S WHEN I MISS YOU THE MOST

sometimes in conversation
my mind drifts away
and I see your sweet lips moving
and I think of what you’d say...

and when I lay down with my lover
and she calls my name out low...

THAT’S WHEN I MISS YOU THE MOST

Of course I miss the good times
but even I miss the bad
'cuz the worst times I spend with you
were the best I ever had…

...so every time I think of
just how I let you go...

THAT’S WHEN I MISS YOU THE MOST
THAT’S WHEN I MISS YOU THE MOST
