1. _ Nothin' Like the Summer
A firefly glowing on my left hand
Used to pretend it was a wedding band
A tall cool glass of Mama's lemonade
Sold from a stand that me and my sister made
We'd count our quarters in the shade underneath the trees
The boys in the clubhouse are right next door
Playing cops and robbers and the Civil War
We'd all meet up at the swimming hole
With marshmallow sticks and our homemade fishing poles
And the stars would guide us home, oh, those sweet memories
Well, I love those summer days
Drifting on by like a slow parade
And everything feels fine in the warm sunshine
When your world unwinds
And you kick back in your flip-flops
And you don't care about the tick-tock
And the world is full of music, dreams and lovers
There ain't nothin' like the summer
There ain't nothin' like the summer
A blue eyed boy with the baseball tan
On the ferris wheel he takes my hand
Long, slow dance underneath the moon
Praying so hard that the night won't end too soon
He whispers, I love you and I melt into his arms
Well, I love those summer days
Drifting on by like a slow parade
And everything feels fine in the warm sunshine
When your world unwinds
And you kick back in your flip-flops
And you don't care about the tick-tock
And the world is full of music, dreams and lovers
There ain't nothin' like the summer
There ain't nothin' like the summer
The sun goes down and the barbecue's lit
The radio's playing that summer hit
We all wish these days would last forever
I love those summer days
Drifting on by like a slow parade
And everything feels fine in the warm sunshine
When your world unwinds
And you kick back in your flip-flops
And you don't care about the tick-tock
And the world is full of music, dreams and lovers
There ain't nothin' like the summer
(I love those summer days)
There ain't nothin' like the summer
(I love those summer days)
Oh, I love those summer days, oh

4. _ Love Will Wait
He had one hand on the wheel
Of his two door Chevy Cavalier
And the other one was runnin'
Through the waves of her sandy hair
It was well past twelve
When they pulled into her parents drive
She didn't think anyone was watchin'
When she kissed him goodnight, busted
Her momma told her
She was grounded for a year
Her daddy said that boy
Ain't welcome around here
She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs
You can say what you wanna say
Lock me up, throw the key away
But if this is really fate then love will wait, love will wait
Two months later her momma
Finally let her off the hook
She said, ?I'm headin' uptown
To return a few library books?
But she climbed in the Cavalier
Sittin' at the Amoco station
He told her time don't matter
Love was worth the waitin', a love sweet, oh yeah
Her momma told her
She was grounded for a year
Her daddy said that boy
Ain't welcome around here
She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs
You can say what you wanna say
Lock me up, throw the key away
But if this is really fate then love will wait, oh yeah
Now there's a little white house
On the edge of a country lake
And daddy's workin' on that
Rusty old Chevy in the driveway
The kids are playin' with the dog
Throwin' frisbee in the front yard
And mama's sittin' on that front porch
Swayin', starin' at that car where it all started
Her momma told her
She was grounded for a year
Her daddy said that boy
Ain't welcome around here
She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs
You can say what you wanna say
Lock me up, throw the key away
But if this is really fate then fate's gonna have it's way, love will wait
You can try to step in between
Love and destiny but what will be will be
Love will wait, oh yeah, love will wait

6. _ Keep Me Forever Falling
It's every little girl's dream to be swept off her feet
And find someone who will always make her smile
Well, you've got that part now, you know I'm falling now
And I never ever want it to end
So, keep me forever falling, tell me you'll love me always
And each day of my life on, will I have the best?
'Cause you'll never settle for anything less
Just keep me forever falling for you
And with every flower you bring
And every sweet song you sing
Every 'I love you' in every note you leave
With every soft word you sing and every kiss on my face
I'll close my eyes and have all I'll ever need
To keep me forever falling, tell me you'll love me always
And each day of my life on, will I have the best?
'Cause you'll never settle for anything less
Just keep me forever falling for you
Till we're old and we're gray
Promise me everyday
That you'll keep me forever falling
Tell me you'll love me always
And each day of my life on, will I have the best?
'Cause you'll never settle for anything less
And just keep me forever falling for you
Keep me forever falling
Keep me forever falling for you

9. _ Happy
Baby, just look at what you've done to me, baby
I'm havin' so much fun with you, baby
I swear you're the one for me
Talkin', I could stay up all night talkin'
How many hours now we've been talkin'?
Oh, I ain't gonna get no sleep
But that don't matter to me
'Cause this is me happy, this me smilin'
This is me all lit up inside and
This me reelin' in love, so high
I don't wanna come down
Yeah, this is me happy now
Happy, happy
Honey, we're [Incomprehensible] honey
Yeah, this is feelin' right and the money
Oh, ain't it the craziest thing
Better, baby, it just keeps gettin' better
Don't know how it could be any better?
Even in my wildest dreams
Beats all I've ever seen
'Cause this is me happy, this me smilin'
This is me all lit up inside and
This me reelin' in love, so high
I don't wanna come down
Yeah, this is me happy now
Happy, happy now
This is me happy, this me smilin'
This is me all lit up inside and
This me reelin' in love, so high
I don't wanna come down
Yeah, this is me happy now
Happy, happy, happy

10. _ Silly Me
First time in a week that I actually got myself out of the house
I came around to the cold hard fact that I'm gona have to do without you
Colorado and all my dreams they came crashin' right down on my head
And then my heart fell apart as I sat down in a taxi cab, headin' uptown
Mascara all over the seat, and the driver just looked at me
Thought if I gave you everything
That we'd survive and you'd be all I'd ever need
But you can't earn what lovers owe
I don't want a police man, I want a home
My meant-to-be was all make-believe
Silly me
Lookin' back I guess we always had it comin' we were runnin' up against the wind
You never took me down to Ellajay, Georgia to meet your folks and your friends
When you cry, you're a twice, you're all lies, the goodbyes were all over the place
And in your arms, it was wrong and I think I knew
But I was so turned on, so in love with you
Sometimes this time of night, I wonder if you're doin' all right
Thought if I gave you everything
That we'd survive and you'd be all I'd ever need
But you can't earn what lovers owe
I don't want a police man, I want a home
My meant-to-be was all make-believe
Silly me
How do I get myself in this kind of trouble?
Thought if I gave you everything
That we'd survive and you'd be all I'd ever need
But you can't earn what lovers owe
I don't want a police man, I want a home
My meant-to-be was all make-believe
My meant-to-be was all make-believe
Silly me
Ah, silly me

11. _ Shine
Who cares for the life we earned?
Someone sold all the truth you yearned,
Remember when you used to shine
And had no fear or sense of time
When it creeps up on you
You can cry now there¹s nothing to feel
No one¹s noticed our loneliness
Remember when you should have teased
And made us scream eternal time
I believed that you¹d always be here
And once you promised a life with no fear
Please don¹t break my ideals
And say what thing was always real
I was
Take me back again
