- God's Promise
I didn't promise you skies painted blue
Not all colored flowers all your days through
I didn't promise you, sun with no rain
Joys without sorrows, peace without pain.
All that I promise is strength for this day,
Rest for my worker, and light on your way.
I give you truth when you need it, my help from above,
- Nothing Left To Take
In the first thirty seconds
She told him she was leaving
She picked up a one way suitcase
He stood there disbelieving
Then a minute passed
And she turned and walked
Left him without the means to talk
She was history
- Sweet Mistakes
Pop the cork, a champagne glass
Raise to the future, drink to the past
Thank the Lord for the friends he cast,
In the play he wrote for you.
And if you love the girl man, light up a torch
Blaze a trail to her front porch
Kiss her til your lips are scorched
- The Lights of Vegas
The Lights of Vegas
The desert's dry
and the wind feels cold
The wheels that you ride
do what they're told
And all the love
you left behind
- The World Ain't Slowin' Down
I found you sitting on a suitcase crying
Beneath my feet,
I feel the rumble of a subway train
I laugh out loud,
'cause it's the one thing I hadn't been trying
The train came in breathless,
The passanger's restless
You say, "Baby, you'll never change"
