Out of Love
Tracks / Lyrics
See your world unfold
Lose myself in it all
No need to second guess
If you find the one
Answer the call
CH
You can wake me with love in your eyes
You can wake me with love in your eyes
Wake me you really shake me
With the love I see in your eyes
I take your hand in mine
Searching your face
You smile at me
A twinkle in your eyes
Says you’re mine now
I know I am free
CH
TAG You can wake me with love in your eyes
You can wake me with love in your eyes
Wake me you really shake me
With the love I see in your eyes

The story will tell
I met her in a town
I knew quite well knew quite well
She’d stay down the road a bit
Until the summers end
For that time
I knew I had a friend had a friend
CH Long golden tresses
A blue summer dress
Heaven always a smile away
We’d run in the sunshine
Walk within the woods
Lay all day by the lake
Life was good life was good
Night would fall upon the hill
A chill would fill the air
Young hearts full of fire
We found love there found love there
CH
She was such a girl
The story does tell
I met her in a town
I knew quite well knew quite well
The summer came to an end
Fair well said my love
I thank you for the memory
I dream of I dream of
CH
TAG Long golden tresses
A blue summer dress:

Champagne in hand sitting on Mercedes Sports coupe
Your head thrown back with a laugh
All birthday smiles too
Remember that photograph
Remember that photograph
I took of you
Remember those nights we spent in Mexico
Temperature one hundred we hung on like we’d never let go
Trying to make light of what we hoped
One day would grow
Remember those nights
Remember those nights
We spent in Mexico
Remember that time driving down the coastal road
You had to stop view the ocean scene below
With tears in your eyes you smiled
Said you hoped you’d never grow old
Remember that time
Remember that time
Along the coastal road
Remember our last night we made the beach our bed
The sky so full of stars overhead
Waves crashed down all night
The sun came up so red
Remember this night
Hold me tight you said
Hold me tight you said
TAG Remember that photograph I took of you

I see you in my arms tonight
I feel you in my heart all day
I’m in deep I like it this way
CH Just the way it is
Just the way it is
Just the way it is
I can’t resist
Just the way it is
I feel you wherever you go
Your voice is clear my heart pounds slow
Your smile shines across the sky
I’m in the clouds I’ve learned to fly
CH
BRIDGE You don’t sit in judgment of me
You don’t sit in judgment of me
You don’t sit in judgment of me
REPEAT 1st VERSE

And I’ve seen a lot of sky
I’ve seen many oceans
I’ve sailed some seas on high
Bluer eyes I’ve never kissed
I’ve wished upon a star
You know the blues will go
They just don’t go too far
CH
The sun can shine the rain can fall
The clouds will fly away
Fall moves winter springs
To summer and fall again
Bluer eyes I’ve never seen
And I’ve seen a lot of sky
Leading in to heaven
The earth from which we fly
Bluer eyes have never cried
I’ve seen the spirit rise
Baby your turn now
Smile me your bluer eyes
CH
FIRST VERSE
TAG Bluer eyes I’ve never seen
And I’ve seen a lot of sky

And I am a boat
A rusty chain that binds us
Will only let me float
The waves are getting bigger
I want to get away
Every time I set my sails
I’m stuck here in the bay
CH Maybe it’ll soothe my sails (1st)
Maybe it’ll ease my engines (2nd)
Baby let me blast my boosters (3rd)
To get on outta here
And get on outta here (3rd)
When I think of freedom
Got a taste of freedom (3rd)
I lose all my fear
And I got no fear (3rd)
I sing this song for you
So you may see
If you know it’s time to go
Then go break free
You are the earth
And I am a rocket
The gravity that holds us
Has caused my heart to lock up
I would blast off from here
That I cannot do
Every time I fire my engines
I’m stuck here with you
CH
CH
TAG If you know it’s time to go
Then go break free

Go downstairs we’ll ride this out
Mama said daddy come
Go downstairs we’ll ride this out
Let me light a candle for you
CH Hurricane babies cry
Only nine months down the line
Hurricane babies cry
Waiting for a lullabye
Mamma sings a soother for you
Daddy said mama stay
The storm is raging overhead
Daddy said mama stay
The storm is raging overhead
Light another candle for two
CH
There was no electricity
In the dark candles dance free
Mama said daddy what can we do
I’ll leave the rest up to you
CH

Can dance inside your mind
Just like the time
When you were a child
And you dreamed it would be this way
In your story book romance
You’d find your king
And his queen
A hero and his lady
Or whatever you imagine to be
Remember it’s your story
You may make of it
What you wish
You may dream of the silver screen
And the most romantic kiss
The last thing I ever thought
Would happen to me
Has now come to be
If you know that you
Will dance inside
A story like this
Remember what you want is your wish
Close your eyes and drift away with this
The last thing I ever thought
Would happen to me
Has now come to be
Has now come to be
A story book romance
Can cause your heart to dance
And I’m still a child
And I love you so wild
Forever I am yours
You are my story book romance

Out of love out of respect
You gave me thirty years whatever the cost
Now you’re gone and I feel lost
I get to come home come home to you
A lyric in my songbook now it’s not true
All I have are these memories
This locket two kids and a heart that bleeds
CH We would sing
Bless This House
Dance me ‘round
And round about
I sing it still
In your memory
Oh it carries me
CH
I wear your locket around my neck
Out of love out of respect
You gave me thirty years made me who I am
Though you’re gone I will carry on
Out of love out of respect
Though you’re gone I will carry on
I wear your locket around my neck

My love burns over the wire
You say you’re not sure of my heart
Want to wait until you feel the fire
You know as well as I do
I Love’s flames jump high and burn low
All I’m asking of you
Do you feel a glow
You know how my heart sighs
Can’t you feel I’m waiting for you
I have all this love inside
All for you if you want me too
You know as well as I do
II Love’s flames jump high and burn low
No need to doubt yourself
Our love will grow
CH As long as we open our hearts
As long as we open our hearts
We’ll walk through love’s flames
Walk through love’s flames
Repeat bridge II

So I crossed the street
To say hello and smile
When she turned around
Was she surprised
Needless to say so was I
She was in a hurry
So she went her way
I stood there watched her go
Was all too familiar
So I turned around
And the darkness hid the way I felt
CH Trees in a forest
Faces in a crowd
Leaves are scattered on the ground
Fall is one more season
I wish I could go through
Without…reminding me of you
Saw someone
With a coat like yours
And her hair hung in a likened way
It may have been you
That I don’t know
I resisted the urge to call your name
I watched her make her way
Along the lane
To lose herself within the crowd
Free once again
I now stood on a street
Which seemed more quiet than loud

to buy a lot of things
but we have each other to keep it happening
I thank my lucky star
for bringing me to you
and I know you feel the same way too
You can’t take it to the bank
but we got love
I’m strumming my six string
at the end of the day
You give me that look to come upstairs and play
I know that dreams come true
I see it in your eyes
Man I’m such a lucky guy
You can’t take it to the bank
But we got love
CH Some folks never find happiness
They somehow lose their way
You and I get by on love
Living from pay to pay
I wake up in the morning
I see your smiling face
I know within my heart there is no better place
When the day is done
The kids are all tucked in
You’re back in my arms again
You can’t take it to the bank
But we got love
CHORUS
We don’t have lots of money
to buy a lot of things
but we have big dreams to keep it happening
I thank my lucky star
for bringing me to you
and I know you feel the same way too
you can’t take it to the bank
but we got love
