1. BURNIN' MOONLIGHT
( Steve Carter, Erik Moll, Ron Hicks )

I used to spend
My nights on the town
But lately, I see
No Need for runnin' 'round

I've got my baby, takin' all night
Burnin' Moonlight

I used to pray for
Someone to stay for
To hold me, love me
And keep me heaven bound

I've got my baby, takin' all night
Burnin' Moonlight

I'm a hard workin' man, doin' all that I can
Countin' my hours, 9 to 5
When I come home tired, I can still get inspired
You put the fire in my nights

I used to pray for
Someone to stay for
To hold me, love me
and keep me heavenbound

I've got my baby, takin' all night
Burnin' Moonlight


2. HE DON'T HAVE MY HEART
(Sonny Throckmorton, Gil Overton)

Thought I'd stop by the cafe for coffee
You smiled and filled it to the brim
You walked away from my table
You stopped and talked to him

I know your heart is taken
But oh how I wish you could see
I think that you're mistaken
No one can love you like me

He don't have my heart
He don't have my heart
He's got it all, right down to you
But he don't have my heart

And now I'll settle for second place
And it's tearin' me apart
He'll never love you the way that I do
He don't have my heart

I see the way you look at him
The way he's lookin' back at you
He only loves what his eyes behold
I love all of you

One day I know you'll realize
And, oh how I hope you can see
He can love you forever
and never come close to me

He don't have my heart
He don't have my heart
He's got it all, right down to you
But he don't have my heart

And now I'll settle for second place
And it's tearin' me apart
He'll never love you the way that I do
He don't have my heart


3. I JUST WANT TO FALL IN LOVE AGAIN
(Steve Carter )

I keep thinkin' 'bout that first kiss
Our walk together, hand in hand
I was afraid it would lead to this
I just want to fall in love again

I'm not trying' to fool myself
To lead you on or reel you in
I don't want to find someone else
I just want to fall in love again

Let me know
What's on your mind
When I'm with you
It just gets better, all the time

I'm not certain that you're the one
To be a lover and a friend
But getting there is half the fun
I just want to fall in love again


4. SINCE I GAVE UP CIGARETTES
(Merle Haggard, Doug Colosio)

Since I gave up cigarettes
I've got nothing to do with my hands
No one to sing to but the fans
I've been placing silly bets
Since I gave up cigarettes

Since I gave up cigarettes
I miss you more at night
No one around to hold me tight
I relive all those regrets
Since I gave up cigarettes

Leavin' tobacco is the hardest thing I've done
But losin' you to someone else
That ain't a lot of fun

I blame it on the cats and dogs
Your love affair with pets
The truth is that I miss you so
Since I gave up cigarettes


5. IN MY EYES
(Steve Carter)

When we sat down
It was just to have coffee
And catch up on old times
From ten years gone by

I knew in a minute
I was fallin', again
You haven't changed, at all
In my eyes

The way you appear
Is the way you looked then
The love in your smile, the glow of your skin

And I know I still see you
As more than a friend
You haven't changed at all
In my eyes

The way I feel now
Is the way I felt then
I won't look in your eyes and pretend

That I'm not in love with you
I've always been
You haven't changed at all
In my eyes

You haven't changes at all
In my eyes


6. JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE MINE
(The Two Ton Machine, M. Aiken, O. Davis)

Just because you're mine
There is nothing that I wouldn't do
To make sure that I don't ever lose you

Just because you're mine
Even though times we might be apart
You'll always have a place
Here in my heart

You never run around
Like other people do
And I'm quite satisfied
When I'm with you

With you, I have found happiness
With you, my life is sweet success
With you, all of my dreams come true
That's why, I do love you


7. WE BURNED OUR WINGS
(Steve Carter)

We flew, so high
We were sure, it felt right
And we knew, in ours hearts
We had love from the start

We played out our desire
Lost that foolish game
Raging like a fire
Dyin' like a flame

We lived on love and passion
We were hungry for these things
We flew so high
We burned our wings

We laughed and we cried
When we kissed goodbye
In the end, we paid the price
For a little time ina lover's paradise

We played out our desire
Lost that foolish game
Raging like a fire
Dyin' like a flame

We lived on love and passion
We were hungry for these things
We flew so high
We burned our wings

We lived on love and passion
We were punished for these things
We flew so high
We burned our wings


8. WHAT ELSE CAN GO RIGHT
(Steve Carter,Shane Decker)

These days, I can't complain
I haven't seen a drop of rain, in a while
Maybe I'm lucky

I'm not sayin' there're no clouds in the sky
But the ones I see are silver lined. I'll be fine
As long as you love me

When I lay down to sleep at night
I've got you to hold me tight
With luck like this
What else can go right

In the past we've had our ups and downs
From time to time we've gone 'round and 'round, and
we've found
Our love makes a difference

There ain't no mountain we can't climb
We know where fortune shines, and all the hard times
Now seem so distant

When I lay down to sleep at night
I've got you to hold me tight
With luck like this
What else can go right

When I lay down to sleep at night
I've got you to hold me tight
With luck like this
What else can go right


9. MY WHOLE WORLD WAS IN THAT CAR
(Steve Carter)

When I was a young man
I only had one girl
And her old man
Wasn't crazy 'bout me

So we'd go ridin'
In my Daddy's Lincoln
Runnin' wild and lovin' free

My whole world was in that car
Beside me where she sat
With the breeze blowin' through the window
We made love in the back

And though we never left the lights of town
Together we went far
My whole world, was in that car

I would serenade her
On my Fender
Played my guitar, while she would dance

Then we'd lie together
And talk about dreamin'
How we'd fly away and live in France

My whole world was in that car
Beside me where she sat
With the breeze blowin' through the window
We made love in the back

And though we never left the lights of town
Together we went far
My whole world, was in that car

Now the car is in the front yard
It'll never run again
I wonder if my childhood sweetheart
Still remembers when.....

My whole world was in that car
Beside me where she sat
With the breeze blowin' through the window
We made love in the back

And though we never left the lights of town
Together we went far
My whole world, was in that car

My whole world, was in that car


10. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
(Steve Carter, Alan Moe Monsarrat, Charles "Boomer" Norman)

It might have been that twinkle in your eye
You looked at me when you went dancin' by
And though you were with him
He wasn't in your heart
I understood, right from the start

I knew in an instant, it was true
You belonged to me and I to you
We didn't hesitate
Or tempt the hand of fate
You understood, right from the start

It didn't take long to realize
That fire was burning, deep in your eyes
I never believed in love at first sight
Until tonight

No, it didn't take long to realize
That fire was burning, deep in your eyes
I never believed in love at first sight
Until tonight

I never believed in love at first sight
Until tonight


11. WHEN I NEED A FRIEND
(Steve Carter, Alan Moe Monsarrat)

There's a girl I've known
Since she was seventeen
She held me in her arms
When I was young

We said "I love you"
And we followed our dreams
But, like so many good things
We came undone

I think about her
When the sun is shinin'
I whisper her name
And it sails on the wind

Like out of the blue
She reads my mind
She comes callin'
When I need a friend

The last time she loved me
It was just about midnight
The room was still
There was a knock at the door

She said "I'll be gone by mornin'"
I said "No hard feelin's"
"There's a fire that burns
For you in my soul"

I think about her
When the sun is shinin'
I whisper her name
And it sails on the wind

Like out of the blue
She reads my mind
She comes callin'
When I need a friend

When I'm over my head
When I'm in the deep end
She is my lifeline
When the ice gets to thin
She come callin' Again

And I think about her
When the sun is shinin'
I whisper her name
And it sails on the wind

Like out of the blue
She reads my mind
She comes callin'
When I need a friend

She comes callin'
When I need a friend

She comes callin'
When I need a friend


12. WING TO WING
(Freddy Powers)

Love made us fly
Like eagles in the sky
Nothing was impossible
For you and I

One time we fly so high
We heard the angels sing
Back when you and I were flying
Wing to wing

Every time I think
About our flying days
And with different dreams
We flew our seperate ways
But dear to me will always be
That little golden ring
Back when you and I were flying
Wing to wing

Wing to wing, heart to heart
We flew together
And sometimes we were grounded
By the bad weather

When the storm was through
What a beautiful thing
You and I flyin' 'round
Wing to wing

Tonight I lay me down again
In peaceful sleep
And dream about the rendezvous
With you, I'll keep

When all the earthly things in life
Won't really mean a thing
Back when you and I were flyin'
Wing to wing

Wing to wing, heart to heart
We flew together
And sometimes we were grounded
By the bad weather

When the storm was through
What a beautiful thing
You and I flyin' 'round
Wing to wing

You and I flyin' 'round
Wing to wing
