Dare To Dream

What am i going to get you girl
I wanna buy you the whole wide world
All i got is a letter jacket and a mood ring

Sometimes i see you standing in the hall
And i can't say a thing at all
Deep inside i'm writing you poetry

Yes, i am

I almost love you
I can almost feel your kiss
Almost promise my heart
But my promise is more like a wish
Oh, i don't know what all this means
But girl i can't get you out of my dreams
Everytime that we get close
It's almost

Yesterday i saw you on the hood of a car
With an older guy, he was playing his guitar
You gave him your smile, i could have cried but i just froze

Should i stand up to him
Should i pick a fight
Should i get you to run away with me tonight

I don't know how to get there
Or where we'd go
Don't you know

I almost love you
I can almost feel your kiss
Almost promise my heart
But my promise is more like a wish
Oh, i don't know what all this means
But girl i can't get you out of my dreams
Everytime that we get close
It's almost

Love, it's almost the right stuff
It's almost the flight of a pure white dove
It's almost true love

I almost love you
I can almost feel your kiss
Almost promise my heart
But my promise is more like a wish
Oh, i don't know what all this means
But girl i can't get you out of my dreams
Everytime that we get close
It's almost

Love, it's almost the right stuff
It's almost the flight of a pure white dove
It's almost true love

It's almost true love
It's almost the right stuff
It's almost the flight of a pure white dove
It's almost true love, yeah

You don't, you won't
No way i say
You didn't, you doesn't
You isn't, you wasn't
You wouldn't, you couldn't
You oughn't, you shouldn't
Love nobody but me

You're mine, not his
You are, you is
I mean it, i seen it
I did it, i done it
I do, you knew
You can't, you shan't
Love nobody but me

That's all, that's it
I ain't jealous of the fellas
That you hang around with
Don't pay no mind
And i'm telling you one more time

You don't, you won't
No way i say
You didn't, you doesn't
You isn't, you wasn't
You wouldn't, you couldn't
You oughn't, you shouldn't
Love nobody but me

That's all, that's right
I ain't waitin', ain't fakin'
No maybes no mights
My heart don't lie
And i'm telling you one more time

You don't, you won't
No way i say
You didn't, you doesn't
You isn't, you wasn't
You wouldn't, you couldn't
You oughn't, you shouldn't
Love nobody but me

You're mine, not his
You are, you is
I mean it, i seen it
I did it, i done it
I do, you know
You can't, you shan't
Love nobody but me
Love nobody but me

You don't, no way
You didn't, you doesn't
You isn't, you wasn't
You couldn't, you wouldn't
Love nobody but me

You're mine, you are
I mean, i seen it
I did it, i done it
You knew you shouldn't
Love nobody but me
Love nobody but me
Love nobody but me

Namesake to elisabeth
Her daddy's pride and joy
Baptized in her mama's tears soon after she was born
'cause the doctor said she'd never live
To see her sweet sixteen
It's a miracle she beat those odds
And there's still no promise
She will see tomorrow
It makes me wonder
How life can give someone so much and take so much away

Oh, elisabeth
You're a teacher you're a saint
And i'm so glad you came to us
Elisabeth, you make the world a better place
With the kindness of your smile and your love
And your beauty will live on and on
Elisabeth

She might not ever marry
Or hold a baby of her own
Things we all take for granted
Are the things she may never know
But she believes there's always hope
And that's all she really has
So she walks through life with passion and
With dignity and class

And when she cries, she cries in silence
But never for herself
She cries for everybody else, for everybody else

Oh, elisabeth
You're a teacher you're a saint
And i'm so glad you came to us
Elisabeth, you make the world a better place
With the kindness of your smile and your love
And your beauty will live on and on
Elisabeth

And i'm so glad you came to us
Elisabeth, you make the world a better place
With the kindness of your smile and your love
And your beauty will live on and on

My heart skips a beat when i watch her go by
I don't know if she knows if i'm even alive
I'd love to ask her out, but there's too many people around

I've got to make it to summer
I want to drift on that ocean-blue in her eyes
On a blanket of sand
Holding her hand
While the lonely people go by

I've got to make it to summer
I want to tell her the things that i'm feeling inside
And if i get the chance, i know i'm gonna make her mine
Yeah

I'm stuck in my room while the snow starts to fall
I'm lost in big poster there on my wall
I'd love to see her there with the golden sun in her hair

I've got to make it to summer
I want to drift on that ocean-blue in her eyes
On a blanket of sand
Holding her hand
While the lonely people go by

I've got to make it to summer
I want to tell her the things that i'm feeling inside
And if i get the chance, i know i'm gonna make her mine
Yeah

Ooh

I've got to make it to summer
I want to drift on that ocean-blue in her eyes
On a blanket of sand
Holding her hand
While the lonely people go by

I've got to make it to summer
I want to tell her the things that i'm feeling inside
And if i get the chance, i know i'm gonna make her mine

And if i get the chance, i know i'm gonna make her mine
Ooh, yeah

The woman in my life wakes me up in the morning
With a gentle touch
She kisses me and whispers "darling
This day was made for us"

The woman in my life has a way of smiling
That can turn a gray sky blue
It's just like her without trying
To make the whole world new

And she's there when i need her
My guardian angel
In the dark i can see her
Here by my side

The woman in my life catches me when i've fallen
And holds me like a baby when i'm hurt
No matter how high i climb
She guides me safely back to earth

And she's there when i need her
My guardian angel
In the dark i can see her
Here by my side

The woman in my life says i'm the one she prayed for
And all she's ever gonna need
But she's the one my heart was made for
And that's the way it's always gonna be

Now i understand just why my dad
Is crazy 'bout the woman in my life

When i see the stars hang in the sky, oh
When i watch a bird spread its wings and fly
And each time i hear the wind blow through the trees, oh
With every breath of air that i breath
All the things i can't see
Still inside i believe

In a baby's laugh
In a mother's eyes
Little miracles around us
Every day of our lives
The way the sun lights up the dark
The hope that i feel in my heart
And as far as i can tell
God's alive and well
Yeah, god's alive and well

Just like the earth cradles the moon, oh
How that far-away sun still makes the flowers bloom
And the joy only heaven can bring to a soul, oh
If trouble comes, i am safe in the hands
'cause i know there's a plan
My heart understands

In a baby's laugh
In a mother's eye's
Little miracles around us
Every day of our lives
The way the sun lights up the dark
The hope that i feel in my heart
And as far as i can tell
God's alive and well
Yeah, god's alive and well

Call it a little bit of luck
Or just a simple twist of fate
Oh, we get swept up in the arms
You can feel it every day

In a baby's laugh
In a mother's eyes
Little miracles around us
Every day of our lives
The way the sun lights up the dark
The hope that i feel in my heart
And as far as i can tell

Yes, as far as i can tell
God's alive and well
Yeah, god's alive and well

As far as i can tell
God's alive and well
