I woke up early one morning
Get out of bed, my family's still snoring
But I've got a special place to be today

The road's wet; the rain had just fallen
And I know soon you'll be callin'
I can't wait for the sound of your voice

Rain in the summer, rain in the spring
Everybody knows that's our kind of thing
The flowers in the meadow don't stand a chance
As we throw up our cares and dance
We paint the petals one by one
We paint the petals one by one

A willow almost forgotten
Your hair feels softer than cotton
A good book and we could stay here forever

An old path, I've never been here
Your hand in mine, I walk with no fear
Outdoors right here is right where we belong

Rain in the summer, rain in the spring
Everybody knows that's our kind of thing
The flowers in the meadow don't stand a chance
As we throw up our cares and dance
We paint the petals one by one
We paint the petals one by one

And I can't stay here without you
And I see the world in a new view

Rain in the summer, rain in the spring
Everybody knows that's our kind of thing
The flowers in the meadow don't stand a chance
As we throw up our cares and dance
We paint the petals one by one
We paint the petals one by one
This is actually a song so without the music behind it it may not seem like the syllables fit

A baby bird
Born a turquoise blue
She is loved
A family strong and true

Mama bird
Dad and Grandma too
Helped her learn
What she can dream to do

So watch me now
I get on my knees and pray
Why must you
Fly away, fly away

Years have passed
She is older, wiser too
She looks out
For dear old Grandma Blue

The wind blows soft
A whisper and she knew
Life is lost
There is nothing she could do

So watch me now
I wish you could have stayed
Why did you
Fly away, fly away

So watch me now
This is what I have to say
I love you
Fly away, fly away

I love you grandma

I'm sitting on my front porch
Staring at the falling rain
Your voice sounds like an angel
As you're calling out my name
And you wonder, if there's something more
As we're walking through the door

But there's no spark, there's no love
I need an answer from above
'Cause I don't know what to do
But then you say, one more time
I need a chance to call you mine
But I don't love you too

I'm laying in my bedroom
It was late last Saturday night
I felt the warmth inside of me
I could finally see the light
Then I knew, just what I would do

I'm standing at the rockwall
The only place where I feel free
I dig around to find a pen
As I try to explain me
But I know you'll never understand

That there's no spark, there's no love
I need an answer from above
'Cause I don't know what to do
But then you say, one more time
I need a chance to call you mine
But I don't love you too

I'm sitting next to you
My heart is pounding in my chest
I hope you can understand
You're not the one that i like best
Now I know we'll never feel the same

'Cause there's no spark, there's no love
I need an answer from above
'Cause I don't know what to do
But then you say, one more time
I need a chance to call you mine
But I don't love you too
oh oh oh
I don't love you too

The smell of the turf on a warm September night
The roar of the crowd as the team scores another touchdown
It doesn’t matter; we don’t even react
For our purpose here is something entirely different

The buzzer sounds to end the first half
We take the field, excited and numb from nerves
Our hearts are pounding, the drums are beating
Our feet move mechanically to the beat

Quarter notes and half notes practiced for many long hours
Finally the reward sending chills through our bodies
Our feet stop; our horns come down
We smile at a job well done

Most people don’t notice us
They are so wrapped up in their technology
If they would only take 5 minutes and escape
Into a world of beauty and passion

This is marching band

I met you a long time ago
A feeling I could not let go
You now hold a place in my heart

Your eyes shine bright like the sun
Your smile just wants to have fun
I wish you would smile at me too

But she holds that place in your heart
And we may live miles apart

But I know that I love you
Do you know that I love you?
I will always love you
Forever, on and on
Can you tell if she loves you?
Does she truely love you?
Cause I'll always love you
Forever, on and on

I see you down at the store
You're with her; you seem kinda bored
With me life would never be dull

Your voice sounds light like a dove
Your lyrics rhyme about love
Your music is one of a kind

But she can't relate to your songs
And we've waited far too long

Cause I know that I love you
Do you know that I love you?
I will always love you
Forever, on and on

You can tell that you love me
That you truely love me
And we'll always be happy
Forever, on and on

I see you
you turn and run away
But I still hear you
I hear every word you say
And I still need you
Oh you know that I want you

But You + Me + Her
Won't add up to anything
And you want me to know
You're sorry for the sting
But I can tell I don't belong
Cause You + Me + Her
Is wrong

I try to tell you
but I won't get very far
Cause she controls you
like the driver to a car
And you're still hoping
that I might forgive you

But You + Me + Her
Won't add up to anything
And you have lost a friend
The wind beneth your wings
Now you can tell I don't belong
Cause You + Me + Her
Is wrong

Don't cheat.
