Collin Raye Love Songs Lyrics
1.Love, Me

Lyrics:Skip Ewing/Max T.Barnes
Music:Skip Ewing/Max T.Barnes

I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He
said,
'Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma
so.'

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said:

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.

I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with
tears.

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
Between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.


2.In This Life

Lyrics:Mark Reid/Allen Shawblin
Music:Mark Reid/Allen Shawblin

For all I've been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
But one honest touch could set me free

Let the world stop turnin'
Let the sun stop burnin'
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you

For every mountain I have climbed
Every raging river crossed
You were the treasure that I'd longed to find
Without your love I would be lost

Let the world stop turnin'
Let the sun stop burnin'
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you

In this life, I was loved by you


3.Let It Be Me

Written:Gilbert Becaud/Mann Curtis/Pierre Delanoe

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me

Each time we meet love
I found complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me

Each time we made love
I found complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me

Promise you'll always
Let it be me


4.The Gift

Lyrics:Jim Brickman
Music:Jim Brickman

Winter snow is falling down
Children laughing all around
Lights are turning on like a fairy tale come true
Sittin' by the fire we made
You're the answer when I prayed
I would find someone and baby I found you

And all I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
For the gift

Watching as you softly sleep
What I'd give if I could keep
Just this moment if only time stood still
But the colors fade away
And the years will make us gray
But baby in my eyes you'll still be beautiful

And all I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
For the gift

All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
Can't find the words to say
Thank you for the gift


5.I Volunteer

Written:Will Robinson/Larry Boone/Tammy Hyler

Looks like your feelin' like
The rain won't ever stop
Life's left you standing there
One against the odds
Fro now on you need to know
You don't have to stand alone

When the world turns you in circles
And the wind is at your face
When you need somewhere to run to
I know a place
If you want someone who's willing
To lay down their heart
Someone to dry your tears
I'm here
I volunteer

A shoulder, a caring voice
To tell you it's ok
Arms meant for holding you
Whenever your afraid
I've got that and more to spare
Just say the word and I'll be there

When the world turns you in circles
And the wind is at your face
When you need somewhere to run to
I know a place
If you want someone who's willing
To lay down their heart
Someone to dry your tears
I'm here
I volunteer


6.That Was A River

Written:Susan Longacre/Rick Giles

I've seen that look before
Here comes that doubt again
You think that girl we saw
Was more than just a friend
Yes, there was a time
I thought she had it all
She meant the world to me
Back when the world was small

That was a river, this is the ocean
That never carried this much emotion
Nothing compares to this deep devotion
That was a river, this is the ocean

The love we had before
Can never change this one
We're not imprisoned by
The past we've brought along
It's just you and me
One ship in the night
There are no boundaries
There is no end in sight

That was a river, this is the ocean
That never carried this much emotion
Nothing compares to this deep devotion
That was a river, this is the ocean

Nothing compares to this deep devotion
That was a river, this is the ocean
That was a river, this is the ocean


7.All My Roads

Written:Karen Taylor-Good/Annette Cotter

Looking back from where I stand tonight
I wouldn't change a thing about my life
Wrong turns I had to take back in those crazy years
Could not have been mistakes if they brought me here

'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you

I don't regret a single broken heart
That taught me what love is and what it's not
Someone must have planned our two paths would cross
I couldn't see it then but I was never lost

'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you

Detours, dead ends, endless explorations
You were my only destination

'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you


8.Survivors

Lyrics:Jim Daddario/Scott Wray
Music:Jim Daddario/Scott Wray

You've been my best friend all these years
You've kept holding on to me through all the trials and the
tears
Only you and I could know all the sacrifices
That let this feeling grow
There were so many times we could have said goodbye
We could have called it quits but honey you and I

We're survivors we made through the storm
When I've needed shelter I've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life

There were times I lost my mind
Took some wrong turns you got me back in line
There were times you lost control
But I stood by you I loved you heart and soul
When faith was tested and dreams were fading fast
We held each other close until the rain had passed

We're survivors we made through the storm
When I've needed shelter I've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life

A little time and tenderness
Has seen us through the years
We'll still be side by side
When the final smoke has cleared

We're survivors we made through the storm
When I've needed shelter I've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
Together in this thing for life


9.Dreaming My Dreams With You

Lyrics:Allen Reynolds
Music:Allen Reynolds

I hope it won't be that wrong anymore
Maybe I've learned this time
I hope that I find what I'm reachin' for
The way it is in my mind

Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss dreamimg my dreams with you.

But I won't let it change me, not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away as much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of.

Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss dreamimg my dreams with you.

Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss dreamimg my dreams with you.


10.And I Love You So

Lyrics:Don Mclean
Music:Don Mclean

And I love you so
People ask me how
How I've lived til now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

And yes I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief

And yes I know how loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening bring me down
Now that you're around me

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived til now
I tell them I don't know
