Lonely Lane · 3 October 2003

C          Am          F          G
Well I walked on down that lonely lane again
C          Am          F     G
No gal for me to walk with hand in hand
C          Am          F     G
You stole my heart and quickly left again
F          G          C
My life will never be the same

Chorus:
     Am                Em
     You said you’d love me forever for all time
     Am                F          G
     I said I was yours and you said you were mine
     Am                Em
     I thought that forever, I would live on Lonely Lane
     Am                F          G
     But you came and I’ll never be the same

You came up to me and put your hand in mine
You just couldn’t leave our hearts are intertwined
I said I am yours and you said you were mine
Our lives will never be the same

Chorus

So we walked on down that lonely lane again
And when we kissed the spark turned into flame
You said with me you always would remain
Our lives will never be the same

Chorus

When you said, “I do,” at the church on Lonely Lane
I knew our love forever would remain
Now we walk through life together hand in hand
Our life, our love is still the same
The two of us, forever will remain

Why? · 2 October 2003

I know it’s been said, “Only the good die young.”
On this I must agree
For just last night my baby up and died
Left me in misery
I just cried…

Chorus 1:
     Why?
     Do the good die young
     Instead of those of us
     Who just do everything wrong
     Is it because
     They don’t need a second chance
     When they hear the music
     They just get up and dance
     But tell me, “Why?”
     Did my baby leave me
     Is it my punishment
     Oh please don’t deceive me
     Just tell me why.

I sat there in pain, in rage, and in sorrow
And everything in between
A mama’s/daddy’s not supposed to watch her baby die
Now what does my life mean?
I asked God…

Chorus 1

When the rage subsided and the sorrow faded
And the tears went dry
In the quiet of my empty room
I thought I heard God cry
And He asked me…

Chorus 2:
     Why?
     Can’t you learn to trust Me
     Instead of doubting
     Don’t you know I love you
     Is it because
     You don’t think it hurts me
     I lost my Son too
     Your loss is my misery
     But tell me, “Why?”
     Can’t you go on living
     You’ll see your baby
     Just keep on believing
     Please tell me why.

I sat there stunned I didn’t think I had lost faith
But then maybe I had
My baby was in a better place now
Someday I won’t be so sad
Now I don’t ask…

Chorus 1

Time Is All I Need · 1 October 2003

I remember when you used to drop me off at school
When you’d kiss me goodbye I’d feel like such a fool
But when I told you to get away from me
You weren’t supposed to go off and watch your TV
When what I need from you is…

Chorus:
     Time – Daddy don’t keep walkin’ through that door
     Time – Your attention’s what I’m lookin’ for
     Time – Mama I just want some time to share
     Time – And to know you’ll always be there
     Time is all I’m really lookin’ for
     And maybe one thing more
     I want to hear the words, “I love you.”

I used to hate interrogations at the dinner table
You got me to tell all the tales that I was able
But then we stopped having family meals
Just ‘cause I told you it was no big deal
But what I need from you is…

Chorus

You used to pry so deep into my life
I told you to quit causing me such strife
But when I would tell you to go away
You were supposed to sit and stay
‘Cause what I need from you is…

Chorus
