john michael montgomery - a daddy s prayer jesus loves me

God, it's safe to say it's been a tough year
The hardest one we've ever seen
The world has never cried so many tears
Or had so many broken dreams

We've got some bad things going on around us
We're killing each other senselessly
It seems we've learned to hate instead of love
I guess what I'm really trying to say

We need you
We need you
We need you
God, we need you

I know soon it's Your Son's birthday
And you must cry when it comes around
He gave His life for us and a better way
The day that cross hit the ground

So when we celebrate this Christmas
I hope you'll forgive us all somehow
And as our children open presents
I'll be praying for them now

They need you
They need you
They need you
God, they need you

We need you to get us through
I need you
God, I need you

Jesus love's me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
We are weak but He is strong

john michael montgomery - a few cents short

(John Michael Montgomery)

Looking for spare change
To put gas in my car
But what I've found
Won't get me very far

Seems lately the low times
Have hit me pretty hard
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From getting to where you are

I'm a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms
And a few cents short
Of keeping us from falling apart
Ain't it funny how the money
Can change our lives
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From losing you tonight

So I walked to a pay phone down the road
But a few dimes and a nickel is all I had
The operator wants more money
To place my call
But I'm a few cents short
If that don't beat it all

I'm a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms
And a few cents short
Of keeping us from falling apart
Ain't it funny how the money
Can change our lives
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From losing you tonight

I'm a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms
And a few cents short
Of keeping us from falling apart
Sure is funny how the money
Can change our lives
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From losing you tonight
Yes I'm a few cents short
And I'll be losing you tonight

john michael montgomery - a great memory

(Dean Dillon/Trey Bruce)

I'm not one to take chances
I've always played it safe
But girl I've been out on a limb
Since I saw your smiling face
I feel like I'm walking a tightrope
When I'm out walking with you
It's a dangerous liason
I've got my heart into

'Cause we're not a sure thing
Too soon to tell if we're the real thing
But this time it's worth taking a chance
On you and me
But if doesn't work out
Should you decide to walk out
Well that's all right with me
'Cause girl I know you'd be
A great memory

Some folks would die for this moment
But I've lived for this moment in time
The love you bring may be a fleeting thing
But oh right now it's mine
If I should wind up lonely
Well I won't mind being alone
'Cause if it works out that you leave me
Least I'll have you to look back on

'Cause we're not a sure thing
Too soon to tell if we're the real thing
But this time it's worth taking a chance
On you and me
But if doesn't work out
Should you decide to walk out
Well that's all right with me
'Cause girl I know you'd be
A great memory
Yeah that's all right with me
'Cause girl I know you'd be
A great memory

john michael montgomery - ain t got nothin on us

(Wendell Mobley/Jim Robinson)

Well they say the Grand Canyon is a sight to see
But it's just a big ditch next to you and me
Ooo baby ain't got nothing on us

There's earth shaking power in the space shuttle
Well I feel that every time we cuddle
Ooo baby ain't got nothing on us

I stop I stare
Sometimes I can't believe my eyes
My jaw just drops
Our love has got me mesmerized

I hear there's seven wonders in this big old world
Well don't they know that number 8 you and me girl
Ooo baby ain't got nothing on us

They stop they stare
Sometimes they can't believe their eyes
Their jaws just drop
Our love has got them mesmerized

Well I've read about Romeo and Juliet
Wish I could tell Shakespeare I ain't impressed
Ooo baby ain't got nothing on us
I'm telling you baby
Ain't got nothing on us

john michael montgomery - all in my heart

(Mike Geiger/Woddy Mullis)

I sit here tonight
And look in your eyes
For that old familiar flame
That love that burns
Makes my wolrd turn
Two hearts beating the same
Is it all in my mind
Or is it harder to find
I feel like I'm in the dark
I thought it was real
But I'm starting to feel
Like it must be all in my heart

I'm a fool for believing
But I just keep dreaming
While we just keep drifting apart
Trying to make something
Where there's really nothing
I guess it's all in my heart

I keep telling myself
There's something else
I could do
To find that spark
But wherever it lies
It's not in your eyes
I guess it's all in my heart

I'm a fool for believing
But I just keep dreaming
While we just keep drifting apart
Trying to make something
Where there's really nothing
I guess it's all in my heart
Just trying to make something
Where there's really nothing
I guess it's all in my heart

john michael montgomery - angel in my eyes

Angel In My Eyes...by John Michael Montgomery

I watch her lyin' in bed asleep
And I thank my lucky stars
For every second she's here with me
I wanna hold her in my arms
She is my day
She is my night
She is the breath that gives me life

Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
Sometimes we fight and we don't know why
But no matter what she believes in me
She's the closest thing to heaven I'll ever see
She'll always be an angel in my eyes

Sometimes I feel her by my side
Like she's watchin' over me
I get a chill runnin' down my spine
And that's all the proof I need
That she fills my heart
She fills my soul
She is the half that makes me whole

Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
Sometimes we fight and we don't know why
But no matter what she believes in me
She's the closest thing to heaven I'll ever see
She'll always be an angel in my eyes

john michael montgomery - be my baby tonight

(Ed Hill/Rich Fagan)

I know you've heard that worn out line
About love at first sight

To knock me off my feet

john michael montgomery - beer and bones

(Sanger D. Shafer/Lonnie Williams)

I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey since I lost you
I ain't ate a bite
Since the night
That you said we're through
I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say
Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones

I got to work this morning
Early this afternoon
Yeah my boss man nudged me
Said son I need to talk to you
You used to make me money
But lately I been taking a loss
Well he smelled my breath
Gave me what was left
Of the day off

I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey since I lost you
I ain't ate a bite
Since the night
That you said we're through
I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say
Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones

Well I wish I could go home
And rest my weary head
But I know I'll just stay here
And have another beer instead
That little waitress asked me
Honey could you use some help
I said I thank you miss
I'll have to get through this
By my dang self

I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey since I lost you
I ain't ate a bite
Since the night
That you said we're through
I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say
Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones
I heard someone say
Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones

john michael montgomery - believe in me

(Charlie Pennachio/John Rich/Drew Sessa)

Love can lift you higher, or cut you like a knife, I been there before.
You've cried out your heart an' had your dreams torn apart, but not anymore.
'Cause, baby, we'll walk hand in hand through this world of shifting sand,
And no matter how crazy things might be.

You can believe in me,
'Cause I'm never gonna turn my back.
Baby, I can promise you that I'll never leave.
Forever, I will be a harbour for your soul.
A safe place you can go when you're in too deep.
You can believe in me.

It's hard to forget when someone you love has let you so far down.
But the truth in my touch is something you can trust: it's solid ground.
The fear of letting go is paralysing, I know,
But no matter how afraid you might be,

You can believe in me,
'Cause I'm never gonna turn my back.
Baby, I can promise you that I'll never leave.
Forever, I will be a harbour for your soul.
A safe place you can go when you're in too deep.
You can believe in me.

We've waited all our lives,
For this moment to arrive,
Now here we are on the edge of everything.

You can believe in me,
'Cause I'm never gonna turn my back.
Baby, I can promise you that I'll never leave.
Forever, I will be a harbour for your soul.
A safe place you can go when you're in too deep.
You can believe in me.

Baby, you can believe in me.
You can believe in me.
Baby, you can believe in me.
Baby, you can believe in me.
Baby, you can believe,
You can believe,
You can believe,
Baby, you can believe.

john michael montgomery - brand new me

That morning sun was burnin' in my eyes
I could see a brand new day
And all the hurt and anger weighin' on my heart
Had begun to drift away
I saw it written on a church marquee as I drove into town
Said today's a new beginning friend
And I had to laugh out loud, 'cause there's no doubt

I'm a brand new me
I've been shattered by the storm but I survived
I'm a brand new me
I found a revelation in the tears I cried
I opened up my eyes
Oh, what a change I see
I'm a brand new me

There's a warrior and a victim living deep
Inside all of us
We have to choose to fight or surrender
When the world beats us up
I know where my weakness lies,
but I know it's a fight that I can win
I may get broken trying to get up
But I can't wait to start again, I'm gonna start again

I'm a brand new me
I've been shattered by the storm but I survived
I'm a brand new me
I found a revelation in the tears I cried
I opened up my eyes
Oh, what a change I see
I'm a brand new me

Days come and go, yeah they come
and go like a road with no end
Hope fades but never dies
Just look at me catchin' my second wind

I'm a brand new me
I've been shattered by the storm but I survived
I'm a brand new me
I found a revelation in the tears I cried
I opened up my eyes
Oh, what a change I see
I'm a brand new me

I'm a brand new me
I'm a brand new me
I'm a brand new me

john michael montgomery - bus to birmingham

john michael montgomery - check yes or no

It started way back in third grade.
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow, and her pony tail.
She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell.

Next day I chased her round the playground
Across the monkey bars, to the merry-go-round
And Emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote.

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then dont be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.

Now were grown up and shes my wife.
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes.
Aint much changed, I still chase emmylou.
Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room.

Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years later, she still gets to me
Cant believe its been that long ago.
When we got started with just a little note.

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then dont be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.

john michael montgomery - cloud 8

(Tony Martin/Byron Hill)

I hear 'em laughing on cloud 9
In a world so happy just above mine
No one's leaving like you left me
They got each other got all they need, but

Here on cloud 8
A lotta nothing's going on
I'm just drifting day to day
Out here on my own
While up on cloud 9
I hear 'em party all the time
They don't hear my heart break
Down here on cloud 8

We almost made it up where they are
But losing your love
Brought me down hard
Now I'm just hanging, just getting by
Where expectations aren't that high, but

Here on cloud 8
A lotta nothing's going on
I'm just drifting day to day
Out here on my own
While up on cloud 9
I hear 'em party all the time
They don't hear my heart break
Down here on cloud 8

While up on cloud 9
I hear 'em party all the time
They don't hear my heart break
Down here on cloud 8
They don't hear my heart break
Down here on cloud 8
