Greatest Hits

(craig wiseman/ed hill)

I was standing at the checkout by a rack of magazines
Cover story told about another heartbroke beauty queen
How she was gettin' over just one more sad affair
And as i waited for my change, you know it hit me then and there

That ordinary people have extraordinary love
A million little miracles far beneath the stars above
The greatest gift that i could ever wish for you and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be.

Then i heard some famous people had an anniversary
Five long years together, it was hollywood history
Now my grandma and grandpa never made no printed page
But they took the love of fifty-seven years right to the grave

'cause ordinary people have extraordinary love
A million little miracles far beneath the stars above
The greatest gift that i could ever wish for you and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be.

Now we all like to watch and by the time the movie ends
Who of us hasn't wished to be a little more like them
But i bet every time two stars are beraking up
That they wish somehow, someway they were a little more like us

'cause ordinary people have extraordinary love
A million little miracles far beneath the stars above
The greatest gift that i could ever wish for you and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be.

Oh, the greatest gift that i could ever wish for you and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be.

If you've never felt what happens when two hearts
Fall together
Or never seen love written in the stars
And knew it was forever
If you dont believe that destiny
Can start with just one wish

Watch this
I'll show you love like you've dreamed of
I've got so much to give
Watch this
Dont be afraid, you'll be amazed
At all the ways that i can
Show you what you've missed
Just close your eyes
And watch this

A broken heart cant always live in fear
Afraid to fall
I can make those feelings disappear
In no time at all
If you wanna feel the world stand still
From the magic of one kiss

Watch this
I'll show you love like you've dreamed of
I've got so much to give
Watch this
Dont be afraid, you'll be amazed
At all the ways that i can
Show you what you've missed
Just close your eyes
And watch this

Darlin' you know its true
The rumor you heard about me loving you
Well i never told a soul, so
Tell me how the whole world know

It must have been the roses and wine
Or maybe this unexplainable smile
They say where there's smoke there's fire
Well i hope its true
Cause rumor has it, you love me too

Well, i got a ring and a plan
But i see you're onto what i'm gonna ask
Well, i never said a thing
Tell me what gave it away

It must have been the roses and wine
Or maybe this unexplainable smile
They say where there's smoke there's fire
Well i hope its true
Cause rumor has it, you love me too

It must have been the roses and wine
Or maybe this unexplainable smile
They say where there's smoke there's fire
Well i hope its true
Cause rumor has it, you love me too
Yes you do
I heard it too

(clay walker)

Well it looks like you finally mad the front page
You always did look good in white
And i hope you like the ring of your new name
The one you'll be given tonight
But all of this is news to me
I wondered why you never called
I guess that's the way that it's meant to be
If you're gonna ride you've gatta learn to fall
But...

Where do i fit in the picture
Or do i really fit at all
Or have i become a fixture
On an old forgotten wall

Well it looks like i finally made the front page
You know you always said i would
And things are well here in room 28
God i hope you're doin' good
There's a picture in my wallet that i look at sometimes
It sends chills through my bones
For long lost love or whatever you wanna call it
Whoa, but it left me all alone

Where do i fit in the picture
Or do i really fit at all
Or have i become a fixture
On an old forgotten wall

On an old forgotten wall

(randy sharp/jon vezner)

Well i got a good friend who's got a good life
He's got two pretty children and a real nice wife
But he never seems quite satisfied
I said i know what's on your mind
But you better think about it before you cross that line
The grass aint always greener on the other side

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it aint really love and it aint really lust
You aint anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

Well i aint saying that looking's a crime
Well i've done my share from time to time
It dont mean that you gotta take that leap
When you're standin' on the brink
Before you jump you gotta step back and think
There's price for ever promise you dont keep

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it aint really love and it aint really lust
You aint anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

Do want you want, do want you wish
It's your life but remember this
There's bound to be some consequences
Sneaking under other fences

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it aint really love and it aint really lust
You aint anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

So, long, see you around
Seen all i wanna see of this town
I

I spent half my life on bended knee
Begging somebody to change
And the other half prayin
