I'm gonna hold who needs holdin'
Mend what needs mendin'
Walk what needs walkin'
Though it means an extra mile
Pray what needs prayin'
Say what needs sayin'
'Cause we're only here for a little while.

Today I stood singin' songs and sayin', Amen
Saying goodbye to an old friend who seemed so young
He spent his life workin' hard to chase a dollar
Putting off until tomorrow the things he should have done
Made me stop and think, What's the hurry, why the runnin'?
I don't like what I'm becoming, gonna change my style
Take my time and not take it all for granted
'Cause we're only here for a little while.

Gonna hold who needs holdin'
Mend what needs mendin'
Walk what needs walkin'
Though it means an extra mile
Pray what needs prayin'
Say what needs sayin'
'Cause we're only here for a little while.

--- Instrumental ---

Let me love like I'll never see tomorrow
Treat each day as though it's borrowed
Like it's precious as a child
Whoa, take my hand
Let us reach out to each other
'Cause we're only here for a little while.

Gonna hold who needs holdin'
Mend what needs mendin'
Walk what needs walkin'
Though it means an extra mile
Pray what needs prayin'
Say what needs sayin'
'Cause we're only here for a little while.

Gonna hold who needs holdin'
Mend what needs mendin'
Walk what needs walkin'
Though it means an extra mile
Pray what needs prayin'
Say what needs sayin'
'Cause we're only here for a little while...

You made up your mind it was time it was over
After we had come so far.
I think there's enough pieces of forgiveness
Somewhere in my broken heart.

I would not have chose the road you have taken,
It has left us miles apart.
I think I can still find the will to keep going
Somewhere in my broken heart.

So fly. Go ahead and fly,
Till you find out who you are.
And I, I will keep my love unspoken
Somewhere in my broken heart.

I hope that in time you will find what you long for.
Love that's written in the stars.
When you finally do, I think you will see
It's somewhere in my broken heart.

Girl, I, I will keep my love unspoken
Somewhere in my broken heart.

I hope that in time you will find what you long for.
Love that's written in the stars.
When you finally do, I think you will see
It's somewhere in my broken
Somewhere in my broken
Somewhere in my broken heart.

It happens to a mother when she is giving birth
Her heart is filled with joy, while her body's filled with hurt
She holds her baby close to her despite the pain he caused
When it comes to love you don't count the cost

It happens to a soldier fighting for his home
Fear wells up inside him and yet he still goes on
Even though he knows he may be the next to fall
When it comes to love you don't count the cost

You don't count the heartache, you don't count the sacrifice
'Cause all that counts is what you feel inside
And it doesn't really matter what is gained or what is lost
When it comes to love, oh you don't count the cost

It happens all around us each and every day
Someone's giving all they've got for someone else's sake
And if you ever doubt it just think about the cross
When it comes to love you don't count the cost

You don't count the heartache, you don't count the sacrifice
'Cause all that counts is what you feel inside
And it doesn't really matter what is gained or what is lost
When it comes to love you don't count the cost

No

I remember as a child on a dark stormy night
I heard the screendoor slam and I was overcome with fright
So afraid that someone bad was trying to get in
And momma came to comfort me and said
"It's only the wind, and nothing more
Not the end of the world knockin' at the door
So close your eyes and dream again
Believe me, It's only the wind"

Everytime I'e had to face a bitter storm of life
Those words of comfort were my shelter in the night
But tonight I don't believe I'm able to pretend
The storm that you and I are up against is only the wind

I can hear you downstairs and you're just about to leave
There's nothing else that I can do to keep you here with me, no
And now the screen door's slammin' and I'm frightened once again
What I wouldn't give if I could be convinced

It's only the wind, and nothing more
Not the end of the world walking out the door
I wish that I could dream again
Believin' it's only the wind
oh,nothing more, not the end of my world
Walking out the door
I wish that I could dream again
Believin' it's only the wind
Only the wind

Strapped on my holster low across my hips,
Two Colt .45’s with black plastic grips;
And I’d head west through our neighborhood,
And they’d say,
“Here comes young Billy and he’s up to no good.”
I rode a trail through the neighbor’s backyard,
Shootin’ the Bad Guys through my handlebars.
Known for my bravery both far and near,
Bein’ late for supper was my only fear.

I miss Billy the Kid!
The times that he had!
The life that he lived!
I guess he must’ve got caught,
His innocence lost...
I wonder where he is?
I miss Billy the Kid!

These days I don’t know whose side to be on;
There’s such a thin line between Right and Wrong.
I live and learn, do the best I can,
But there’s only so much you can do as a man.

I miss Billy the Kid!
The times that he had!
The life that he lived!
I guess he must’ve got caught,
His innocence lost...
Lord, I wonder where he is?
I miss Billy the Kid!

A man filled with doubt, down and out and so alone.
A ship tossed and turned, lost and yearning for a home.
A survivor barely surviving, not really sure of his next move.
All of this I would of been if there hadn't been you.

If there hadn't been you, where would I be.
If there hadn't been you here for me.
I made it through times I never would've made it through.
If there hadn't been you.

A man filled with hope who finally knows where he belongs.
A heart filled with love more than enough to keep it strong.
A life that's alive again, no longer afraid to face the truth.
All of this I would of missed if there hadn't been you.

If there hadn't been you, where would I be.
If there hadn't been you here for me.
I made it through times, I never would've made it through.

If there hadn't been you on my side.
You in my life.
All my dreams would still be dreams,
If there hadn't been you.

All my dreams would still be dreams,
If there hadn't been you.

From the thoughts that I've been thinkin'
I should think of an alibi
Though I'm innocent, I've still got a guilty mind
There's no place that I can turn to
When she turns out the lights
To keep her from seein' you burnin' in my eyes

It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Carryin' around this torch in my heart
I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out
It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start
It's out of control and nothin' can help me now
No, no, no, no, no

At first it was no problem
Flickering thoughts of you now and then
Nothin' intimate that she could call a sin
Then you sparked my imagination
Temptation 'bout to drive me wild
These flares of desire you can see for miles

It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Carryin' around this torch in my heart
I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out
It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start
It's out of control and nothin' can help me now
Now, now

It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Carryin' around this torch in my heart
I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out
It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start
It's out of control and nothin' can help me now

It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Carryin' around this torch in my heart

I know you can make it in this world on your own
But I wanna take care of you
The woman within may think that it's wrong
But I wanna take care of you

I'll show you the love of a man that knows how
To hold you without holding you down
It's not a sign of weakness to let me be strong
I wanna take care of you

I'll carry the weight of your world on my shoulder
I wanna take care of you
In the prime of our years till time ticks us older
I wanna take care of you

I'll be your rope when that mountain's too steep
Be your hope when the water's too deep
I'll share my blanket when trouble winds turn colder
I wanna take care of you

I've got nothin' to prove but the way that I feel
It's love but it's so much more
For once in my life I know what I am living for

When the good Lord takes you He better take me too
So I can take care of you
When the good Lord takes you He better take me too
So I can take care of you

I am not a devil
I am not a saint
You can't tell if the wood is good
By looking at the paint
It's not that I don't love you
Some words are just hard for me to say
I wish I was a poet
But honey I'm not built that way

I know someone hurt you
But that's all in the past
He was one to hit and run
But I don't work like that
I'm gonna take forever
To finish what we started here today
I just can't lie about it
Honey I'm not built that way

I'm built to go the distance
Solid as a rock
I climb all my mountains to the top
I won't run for cover
Even when our sunny skies turn gray
Honey I'm not built that way

Saying it is one thing proving it takes time
But the thought that I don't love you
Should never cross your mind

I'm built to go the distance
Solid as a rock
I climb all my mountains to the top
I won't run for cover
Even when our sunny skies turn gray
Honey I'm not built that way

Not built that way
I'm not built that way

once in a while
someone comes along
that one in a million heart
so pure and so strong
they can face up to the tears
and somehow still find a smile
that we only get
every once in a while

once in a while
someone has the eyes
that one in a million look
that never tells lies
they can get you on your feet
to walk that extra mile
that we only see
every once in while

thats why we call them heroes
thats why we know their names
and once you heard their stories
your never quite the same

thats why we call them heroes
the best thing they ever do
is point to the best in us all
and say if i can you can too

once in a while
i still hear his voice
that one in a million sound
like two laughing boys
he would hated if we cried
that never was his style

oh we still miss him
every once in a while

oooh they can face up to the tears
and some how still find a smile
that we only get
every once in a while

oh how i miss him
every once in a while
