Good Thing

(Randall Lee Anderson)


I’m in the middle of a good thing

I’m in the middle of a big time love affair

I’m getting ready for a sweet dream

I feel like a millionaire

I get excited when she holds me close

You know It makes me wanna sing

Ooh Ooh Ooh

I’m in the middle of a good thing


My baby don’t stay out all night

She don’t get up in my face and try to fight

My baby’s just a little tiny itty bitty ornery

She likes to put a little loving on me

She’s got sunshine in her soul

She likes to treat a crazy man like gold

Ooh Ooh Ooh

I’m in the middle of a good thing


My baby’s got a never ending heart

And quite a few other perfect parts

My baby’s got moves like a roller coaster

She’s got a body ought to be on a poster

She’s got a way about making time

She’s gonna love me right out of my mind

Ooh Ooh Ooh

I’m in the middle of a good thing


I’m in the middle of a good thing

I’m in the middle of a big time love affair

I’m getting ready for a sweet dream

I feel like a millionaire

I get excited when she holds me close

You know It makes me wanna sing

Ooh Ooh Ooh

I’m in the middle of a good thing


Ooh Ooh Ooh

I’m in the middle of a good thing



The Ride of My Life

(Naomi Lewis/Joan Walker/Randall Lee Anderson)


The sunset looks like cotton candy

Reminds me of the night you took my hand

And kissed me on the Ferris wheel

Too young to understand


It wasn’t just a carnival

A midway under a midnight sky

Tilt-a-whirls and roller coasters

It was the ride

The ride of my life


The sun comes up like orange slices

Just like the day we sailed around the horn

Mesmerized by sunlight dancing

We never saw the storm


It wasn’t just an ocean

Canvas sails and the turning tides

Wind blowing away our kisses

It was the ride

The ride of my life


I wouldn’t trade a moment

Or anywhere we’ve been

I want to go where your love takes me

Again and again


It isn’t just a love affair

Full moon and candlelight

It’s shooting stars and rockets

It’s the ride

The ride of my life



Let Love be Good To You

(Kim McCasland, Margaret Harris, Mark Thomas)


Little black cloud hanging above you 24 hours a day

And you just sit expecting a downpour

When there hasn’t been a drop of rain

Well I could be wrong but baby I know I’m not

The sky isn’t falling and incase you forgot


There’s nothing wrong with having it all

Being happy isn’t breaking the law

Take a minute off of nursing your blues

And let love be good to you


I know you’re life hasn’t been easy

And it hasn’t gone according to plan

Join the club you’re only human

You can only do the best that you can

Next time you feel like your life has been cursed

Try to remember it could always be worse


There’s nothing wrong with having it all

Being happy isn’t breaking the law

Take a minute off of nursing your blues

And let love be good to you


Let it hold you, let it heal you

Let it light your darkest day

Let it move the mountains standing in your way



Different Man

(Kim McCasland, Mark Harris)


What if I said I’m Sorry

What if I promise to change

Can I undo all that we’ve been through

Can I convince you to stay


Cause now there’s a different man

Standing in these shoes

Now there’s a friend where there use to be a fool

Thank you for making me want to be better then I am

Baby from now on I’m a different man


What if I beg for forgiveness

What if I got down on my knees

Is that where I start to win back your heart

How do I make you believe


Cause now there’s a different man

Standing in these shoes

Now there’s a friend where there use to be a fool

Thank you for making me want to be better then I am

Baby from now on I’m a different man


So here we are and you could easily say goodbye

But you’re not saying anything you’re just looking in my eyes


You’ll see a different man

Standing in these shoes

Now there’s a friend where there use to be a fool

Thank you for making me want to be better then I am

Baby from now, baby from now on baby from now on

I’m a different man



Love to Come Home To

(Randall Lee Anderson)


Two struggling kids with a lot of new bills to pay

Four grateful arms, I was born into

A One bedroom apartment, getting smaller by the day

But I had love to come home to


Some children are born, helpless in a lonely world

Some are abandoned, some are abused

But they can grow up strong, in the care of a stranger

If they know they’ve got love to come home to


God will wrestle with the devil

For the road our children take

But our love can be the difference

In the choices that they make


We all make mistakes; we all know temptation

So love your children no matter what they do

Give them a place where they can find shelter

Let them know they’ve got love to come home to



Watermark

(Naomi Lewis/Randall Lee Anderson)


It looks like a blank piece of paper

But there’s something that sets it apart

If you look close you can see it

The sign of the watermark


There’s a white line on the canyon wall

The subtle beauty of nature’s art

You wouldn’t know there was a flood

If it weren’t for the watermark


She dabs a tear off the note with her sleeve

And folds the letter in threes

But good-bye won’t erase his memory


She hides him in silence inside her

The lines ‘round her eyes show it’s hard

You have to look close to see it

The stamp he left deep in her heart


He is her watermark



Let Me Be the One You Lean On

(Randall Lee Anderson)


When life turns you round in circles

When all of your sunshine is gone

When joy turns to pain and you feel you’re going insane

Let me be the one you lean on


Let me be the one you lean on

Let me be the one you care for

Let me be the one when you need someone

Let me be the one you lean on


When problems overcome your worried mind

When you feel you can’t face the light of dawn

When all of your dreams have failed, so it seems

Let me be the one you lean on


Let me be the one you lean on

Let me be the one you care for

Let me be the one when you need someone

Let me be the one you lean on


Let me be the one you lean on

Let me be the one you lean on



Jamie

(Randall Lee Anderson)


Jamie I was crazy

I didn’t know what I had

She wasn’t worth the hurt I saw in your eyes

Jamie I miss you

I miss you so bad

And all those nights when Jamie you were mine


Jamie you made life good

I wish I’d never hurt you

Now I’m living alone wasting my time

Once in a while I really feel alive

That’s when I think of you

And all those nights when Jamie you were mine


Jamie I love you

God knows I do

But I know I’ll never see you again

I pray you’re safe and happy

And I pray I won’t forget

All those nights when Jamie you were mine


Jamie you made life good

I wish I’d never hurt you

Now I’m living alone wasting my time

Once in a while I really feel alive

That’s when I think of you

And all those nights when Jamie you were mine


I hope you’ve got a man who loves you

And I hope he treats you better than I did


Jamie you made life good

I wish I’d never hurt you

Now I’m living alone wasting my time

Once in a while I really feel alive

That’s when I think of you

And all those nights when Jamie you were mine


All those nights when Jamie you were mine



Every Now and Then

(Randall Lee Anderson)


Every now and then when I smell pancakes cooking

Coffee’s on and bacon’s in the pan

Well I think about you every single morning

And I think about you every now and then


When I see my cold reflection in the mirror

When I comb my hair and wash my face and hands

I can feel you in my fingers, I can see you in my eyes

And I think about you every now and then


If you wonder do I ever think about you

Well I do, every now and then


When I see a man who really loves a woman

When I see a pretty woman with a man

I go thumbing through a whole lot of your memories

And I think about you every now and then


When I’m walking, when I’m talking, when I eat and when I sleep

When I wake and when I’m cold and when I’m hot

When I’m standing, when I’m sitting, when I drink and when I blink

When I’m breathing and even when I’m not


When I feel like making love in the moonlight

When I feel like running barefoot through the sand

Well I think about you every time I wish upon a star

And I think about you every now and then


If you wonder do I ever think about you

Well I do, every now and then

If you wonder do I ever think about you

Well I do, every now and then

Yes I do, Baby I do, well I think about you every now and then



Somebody Else’s Life

(Randall Lee Anderson)


I see the way he holds you

The way you look at him

The way it should have been with you and I

Somebody tell me

Theirs’ been a mistake

I’m living somebody else’s life


No one else could love you

Half as much as me

There are certain things that money cannot buy

He gave you a diamond

I’d give you my heart

I’m living somebody else’s life


Somebody’s touching you tonight

But I can only touch you in my mind

He’s making love to you while I’m here all alone

I’m living somebody else’s life


I still can’t help believing

Your love was meant for me

I still believe you should have been my wife

It could have been heaven

But how were you to know

You’re living somebody else’s life


Somebody’s touching you in places

I can only touch you in my mind

He’s making love to you while I’m here all alone

I’m living somebody else’s life


I’m living somebody else’s life



Best Laid Plans

(Randall Lee Anderson)


Apartment ads circled in the morning paper

You’re awfully quite, is there something I should know

A lawyer’s number on a napkin on the counter

Looks like you’re making plans to go


Even the best laid plans sometimes fall apart

I know you gave your best and tried with all your heart

Sometimes love just withers and it’s nobody’s fault

Even the best laid plans sometimes fall apart


We had dreams enough to last a lifetime

So many things we never got to do

Now you’re wanting me to sign my walking papers

I had never planned on losing you


Even the best laid plans sometimes fall apart

I know you gave your best and tried with all your heart

Sometimes love just withers and it’s nobody’s fault

Even the best laid plans sometimes fall apart


We could go away for the weekend

Pretend we’re on our honeymoon

Maybe you’ll find those things in me you fell in love with

God knows I’m still in love with you


Even the best laid plans sometimes fall apart

But, Maybe there’s half a chance you could have a change of heart

We could start our life all over, pretend it hasn’t gone this far

Baby our best laid plans don’t have to fall apart



I Will Wait

(Kim McCasland)


What are you so afraid of

Why are you so scared

Can you keep pretending

That you don’t really care

The walls go up and the coldness settles in

And I’m left outside again


But I will wait

I will wait until the day

When you can offer me your love

I won’t force it, I won’t push and I won’t shove

I will wait for you to offer me your love


What are you going to tell me

When you run out of lies

Cause you know I’m smart enough

To see through your disguise

All your insecurities are necked on the floor

You don’t have to hide them anymore


But I will wait

I will wait until the day

When you can offer me your love

I won’t force it, I won’t push and I won’t shove

I will wait for you to offer me your love


It won’t be hard for you to find me

Once you decided to come alive with me


But I will wait

I will wait until the day

When you can offer me your love

I won’t force it, I won’t push and I won’t shove

I will wait for you to offer me your love



Are You Happy Without Me

(Randall Lee Anderson)


So many special feelings I have come to know

Through living my life with you

Now that it’s done, You’re still the one

I feel your touch in everything I do


Sometimes late at night I can still remember

How it felt with you here close to me

I toss and turn, And sometime I cry

I never knew how empty life could be


I knew from the start about lifetime things

I knew that I had no guarantee

But deep in my heart lies one lonely question

Darling are you happy without me



How can I forget about you, you gave me a reason to believe

That dreams can come true

I found the gold, I smelled the rose

But it doesn’t mean a thing without you


I knew from the start about lifetime things

I knew that I had no guarantee

But deep in my heart lies one lonely question

Darling are you happy without me



Every Time it Rains

(Randall Lee Anderson)


It took a while before I could sleep

After you set me free

It took a while to forget your loving with me


I finally got it together somehow

Put you out of my mind

I guess I’m still bitter somewhere way down inside


Cause every time it rains

I hear you whisper

I can smell wet flowers in your hand

I can see your hair blowing in the wind

Every time it rains

I feel you shiver

I can feel your warm embrace

And I love you

Every time it rains


I learned a lot from being with you

And now I can be strong

I put your memories aside where they belong


But every time it rains

I hear you whisper

I can smell wet flowers in your hand

I can see your hair blowing in the wind

Every time it rains

I feel you shiver

I can feel your warm embrace

And I love you

Every time it rains



Next Time I Fall In Love

(Randall Lee Anderson)


It came so easy, it was so strong

But love grew old the way it always does

We had our time, we had our fun

And I’ll think of you next time I fall in love


I’ll think of you next time I fall in love

And all of those things we used to dream of

There was a time we couldn’t get enough

And I’ll think of you next time I fall in love


All those lonely people in the world

I’m just glad you came into my life

We had it good, we had a ball

And I’ll think of you next time I fall in love


I’ll think of you next time I fall in love

And all of those things we used to dream of

There was a time we couldn’t get enough

And I’ll think of you next time I fall in love



I Want to See You Again

(Randall Lee Anderson)


I didn’t think lonely would hurt this bad

The sound of your voice could heal me

And I would give anything just to hear you say I love you one more time


I want to see you again

The nights have been so lonely

I want to love you again

And take you in my arms and let you know

I’ll never let you go again

I want to see you again


I didn’t know the spotlight would be so dim

Without my leading lady

You brought life to me, now I clearly see just what I left behind


I want to see you again

The nights have been so lonely

I want to love you again

And take you in my arms and let you know

I’ll never let you go again

I want to see you again


I want to see you again

The nights have been so lonely

I want to love you again

And take you in my arms and let you know

I’ll never let you go again

I want to see you again



Just Another Lonely Girl

(Randall Lee Anderson)


She’s just another lonely girl needing a friend

She’s just about as broken hearted as a girl can be

She’s been hurt enough

She’ll never fall in love again

She’s just another lonely girl needing a friend


Tonight she’s out on the town

Trying to keep from feeling down

Cause there at home, she’s all alone

And no one knows it follows her around


She’s just another lonely girl needing a friend

She’s just about as broken hearted as a girl can be

She’s been hurt enough

She’ll never fall in love again

She’s just another lonely girl needing a friend


All she wants is a touch

Just one tender word would mean so much

A willing ear, someone to care

If only for one night she needs some love


She’s just another lonely girl needing a friend

She’s just about as broken hearted as a girl can be

She’s been hurt enough

She’ll never fall in love again

She’s just another lonely girl needing a friend



You Can Count On Me

(Randall Lee Anderson)


It can never be over

When you really fall in love

You can say goodbye, but I can see it in your eyes

That it’s not really over for us


How many times have I told you

How many ways can it be said

No matter what you do, I won’t stop needing you

Till I hold you in my arms again


You can count on me

If you ever need a friend

You can count on me

To love you once again


Now I know what love can be

And I owe it all to you

You gave me all you had and I’ll never give it back

And someday I’ll make it up to you


You can count on me

If you ever need a friend

You can count on me

To love you once again



I’d Promise You Forever Again

(Randall Lee Anderson)


If you gave me one more chance to prove I love you

Or gave me one more chance to say goodbye

Well I don’t know what I’d say

But I’d try to find a way

To tell you how I really feel inside


If I had a chance to show you all my feelings

You’d know that you’re the only one I see

And Words just aren’t as strong

In any poem or song

To assure you just how much you mean to me


If I had to choose between win or lose

Between a lover and a friend

If it was do or die

I’d look you in the eye

And promise you forever again


And when your world is falling down around you

And time is no longer on your side

Well I told you years ago

I’ll tell you ever more

I love you most for what you are inside


If I had to choose between win or lose

Between a lover and a friend

If it was do or die

I’d look you in the eye

And promise you forever again


If I had to choose between win or lose

Between a lover and a friend

If it was do or die

I’d look you in the eye

And promise you forever again
