One Solitary Tear
(written by Sherrie Austin and Steve Mandile)
Your love was reckless baby
I fell deep
Easy to hold but you were hard to keep
You were a heartache waiting to be
We took off flying down a dead end street
I never knew love could heart so bad
When you said goodbye with the tip of your hat
I watched you leaving across the welcome mat
And though I know that you ain't comin' back
(Chorus)
One solitary tear
Is all I cry
One solitary tear
Falling, falling, falling from my eye
I'll get over you, I'll get by
One solitary tear
At a time
Little things remind me that you're gone
The mailman still brings all your catalogs
The radio just keeps on playing our songs
But I tell myself that I have to be strong
(Repeat chorus)
I'll get over you
I'll get by
One solitary tear at a time
One solitary tear at a time

Stars Over Texas
(written by Larry Boone, Paul Nelson and Tracy Lawrence)
As you lie in my arms
Girl my heart's on my sleeve
Words come so hard in moments like this
There's feelings I have that are so hard to show
But right now there's one thing
I want you to know
(Chorus)
As long as the tides ebb
The earth turns the sun sets
I promise I'll always be true
And as long as there's stars over Texas
Darling I'll hang the moon for you
I know I have stumbled and caused you some tears
When you needed me the most I haven't always been here
I know I'm not always the man I should be
But don't ever wonder what you mean to me
(Repeat chorus)
And as long as there's stars over Texas
Darling I'll hang the moon for you
Darling I'll hang the moon for you

Hearts In Armor
(Performed by Trisha Yearwood)
One more day
My heart's in armor
Though I meant to let you in
In an effort not to harm it
I have missed my chance again
I was singing when I freed you
But my pride was just a veil
I pretended not to need you
Now my heart tells a different tale
And every hour that goes by
The harder I become
Because I let that well run dry
Because I left you unanswered
Then like a fool I kept my secret
When it made no sense to try
Now I can no longer keep it
For it's late and the moon is high
One more day my heart's in armor
Though I did not see it then
I would finish what you started
If I had that chance again

Drift Off To Dream
(Performed by Travis Tritt)
I sit here surrounded by people and lights
Alone with my drink at the bar
You've been here forever, so clear in my mind
I just don't know where you are
I know I'll find you but girl 'til I do
This is my love song for you
(Chorus)
Let's hold hands on the porch swing, under the moon
While the wind through the willows plays us a tune
We can lie on a blanket, out back in the yard
And wish for our future on a faraway star
You'll feel the passion as time after time
I press your sweet lips to mine
Then we'll dance to the radio, right up 'til dawn
'Til you drift off to dream in my arms
You might be hundreds or more miles away
Or you might be just down the street
But there'll be a hunger deep in your eyes
That I'll recognize when we meet
It might take hours or it might take years
But this is the song you will hear
(Repeat Chorus)

Wild Angels
(written by Matraca Berg, Gary Harrison and Harry Stinson)
Between the perfect world and the bottom line
Keeping love alive in these troubled times
Well, it's a miracle in itself
Yeah we know too well what that's about
Still, we made it through. Only God knows how
We must have had a little help
(Chorus)
It must have been a wild angels, wild angels
Watching over you and me
Wild angels, wild angels
Baby, what else could it be
Well it must have been hard, it must have been tough
Keeping up with crazy fools like us
'Cause it's so easy to fall apart
We still break each other's hearts sometimes
Spend some nights on the jagged side
Somehow we wake up in each other's arms
(Repeat chorus)
There are some nights
I watch you while you dream
I swear I hear the sound of beating wings
It must have been a wild angels, wild angels
Watching over you and me
Wild angels, wild wild angels
Baby, what else could it be
Wild angels, wild angels
Wild angels, wild angels

Valentine
(written by Jim Brickman and Jack Kugell)
If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

Maybe He'll Notice Her Now
(written by Tim Johnson)
She wrote, "I feel just like that painting
Collecting dust on the wall
And everyday you walk right by me
And don't know I'm there at all
And I can't think of one single reason
Why I should be hanging around
She sounded, "I hope that you'll miss me."
And she drove herself out of town
(Chorus)
Maybe he'll notice her now
Maybe he'll open his eyes
Sometimes it takes somebody leavin'
For a man to realize
Maybe he'll tell her she's the only thing
That he can't live without
And now that she's gone
When he came home late that evening
He called her name down the hall
He saw the outline of the painting
That used to hang there on the wall
And in it's place on the nail was a letter
He read it out loud to himself
Then the loneliness began to take over
And for once he knew just how she felt
(Repeat chorus)
He called her up, he said, "I have been such a fool."
She said, "I will come back and, boy, I still love you."
(Repeat chorus)
I'm coming home, maybe you'll notice me now
Maybe he'll notice her now
