That's The Truth

Paul Brandt That's The Truth Lyrics
1.Add 'Em All Up

Written:Paul Brandt/Rick Bowles/Chris Farren

If you took all the feelin's that everybody's feelin'
In love tonight
All the slow dances and lingerin' glances
In the pale moonlight
All the stolen kisses and sweet nothin' whispers
Straight from the heart
Put 'em end to end and then you'd have a pretty good start

And add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
It's perfectly clear what you got there
Wouldn't be near enough
Add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
Just take the bottom line
Multiply by five, it's larger than life
That's how I'd describe our love

Take every heart beatin' that's a reelin' from the feelin'
Of a true love found
Every angel singin', every church bell ringin'
Out glory bound
Every new beginnin', every happy endin'
>From the silver screen
Put 'em all together, it'll never match you and me

And add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
It's perfectly clear what you got there
Wouldn't be near enough
Add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
Just take the bottom line
Multiply by five, it's larger than life
That's how I'd describe our love

Add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
It's perfectly clear what you got there
Wouldn't be near enough
Add 'em all up
Add 'em all up
Just take the bottom line
Multiply by five, it's larger than life
Not to be denied on any given night
That's how I'd describe our love
Oh baby it's a fact this love we have
Is off the map, bigger than that
That's how I describe our love


2.A Love That Strong

Written:Reed Nielsen/Jeffrey Steele

If love was a river rushin' down to the sea
I'd wanna jump right in to the middle of it
Let it carry me
And pullin' me under and takin' my breath away
Rollin' with the flow wherever it goes
Whatever it takes

I want a love that strong
I want a love that wild
I want to dig that deep
I want to reach that high
One that'll last a whole life long
I want a love that strong

A man and a woman sittin' in a small cafe
They met fifty years ago in those same two chairs
On this very day
He still brings her flowers just to hear that little laugh
She still thinks he's a knight in shining amour
And it's as simple as that

I want a love that strong
I want a love that wild
I want to dig that deep
I want to reach that high
One that'll last a whole life long
I want a love that strong

I want a love that strong
I want a love that wild
I want to dig that deep
I want to reach that high
One that'll last a whole life long
I want a love that strong
I want a love that wild
I want to dig that deep
I want to reach that high
One that'll last a whole life long
I want a love that strong


3.It's A Beautiful Thing

Written:Jeffrey Steele/Craig Wiseman

Looks like everybody's here
Had to put some folding chairs in the vestibule
Yeah, it's getting full
Even old Aunt Ruby came
Her first time on an aeroplain, it's her sister's girl
She said she wouldn't miss it for the world

And all them young'uns squirmin' in the pews
Mr. Charlie in his lime green suit is a handsome man
Remarks widow Callahan
Uncle Joe and Uncle Jake
Haven't spoken since '88
Just said Hello
It's a good day to let it go

So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limosine
(Two people in) Love is a beautiful thing

Daddy's waitin' with the bride
As she helps him with his tie she sees a tear
He says it's hot in here
He hugs his little girl and asks
How did you grow up so fast, God I wish
Your momma could be here for this

Everybody stands and smiles
As she comes walking down the aisle in her momma's gown
And Daddy breaks on down
Gran and Gramps in the second row
Stood right there fifty years ago and said their vows
I guess it's workin' out

So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limosine
(Two people in) Love is a beautiful thing

A little table full of gifts
Catering is coverdish and the wedding band
Well that's on her hand
Tommy's teasing Lorali
Pushed her down and made her cry
And neither one knows a day will come

When the angels gather, and the music play
The preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limosine
Love, two people in Love
It's a beautiful thing

Love, it's a beautiful thing
(Love, it's a beautiful thing)
Love, oh sweet Love, it's a beautiful thing
(Love, it's a beautiful thing)
Love, oh love, it's a beautiful thing
(Love, it's a beautiful thing)
Love, love, it's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing


4.Let's Live It Up

Lyrics:Brian Setzer
Music:Brian Setzer

(You only get one chance, you might as well take it while you
can, ha!)

You only go around once on this big spinnin' planet of love
So don't be wastin' my time
Tell me what you're dreamin' of
We'll take a rocket to the moon and when we get that far
I'll hang your coat and hat up on a shooting star
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!

Hang up the cat put the dog out to dry, my my
Roll up the bird and let the alligator wave bye-bye
We'll take a slow gin to China
A train to Peru
In a rusty old steamer or a leaky canoe
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!

Around the block in a hot balloon
Sounds awfully good to me
Or a seat on the wing of a jumbo jet
Flyin' straight to Mercury
What's the matter with me
Baby I've been such a fool
Let's hop on a raft and navigate around in the pool
We'll take a rocket to the moon and when we get that far
I'll hang your coat and hat up on a shooting star
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!

(Play it boys c'mon!)

A swing around the block in a hot balloon
Sounds awfully good to me
Or a seat on the wing of a jumbo jet
Flyin' straight to Mercury
What's the matter with me
Baby I've been such a fool (who do you think you're foolin')
Let's hop on a raft and navigate around in the pool
And take a rocket to the moon and when we get that far
I'll hang your coat and hat up on a shooting star
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Don't you ever think about givin' it up
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!
Let's live it up!


5.Really And Truly

Written:Kent M.Robbins/Will Robinson/Paul Williams

If a fallin' heart could make a sound
Then you would hear mine for miles around
If what I feel became a light
Then there would be no darkness in this night
They say you know when it's real
Baby I can tell you it's true

'Cause really and truly
I think we should be
Together like this for as long as we both are
Livin', breathin'
I'll be everything you need and more
I'll be really and truly yours

If love's a gift to give away
For you, I swear, it'd be Christmas every day
If love could keep you free from harm
The safest place for you is in my arms
And if I reveal too much too soon
Well, I'm just bein' honest with you

Really and truly
I think we should be
Together like this for as long as we both are
Livin', breathin'
I'll be everything you need and more
I'll be really and truly yours, oh

Have me, hold me
In that sweet moment
It'll be for sure
I'll be really and truly yours


6.Scrap Piece Of Paper

Lyrics:Lona Heid/Ryan Reynolds
Music:Lona Heid/Ryan Reynolds

Well, in a little bitty nitty gritty one horse town
Right side up or upside down
A tiny piece of paper got stuck to a boot
And it stayed there stuck for about an hour or two
'Til the man climbed in his truck and he kicked it loose
Yeah and just like that it was back on the move

It got run over thirty-seven times in the street
'Til a bird picked it up 'cause it looked like something to eat
But it was finally dropped on the courthouse steps
The breeze started blowing and guess what was next
It blew in a car window gave an old man a scare
Caused a six-car pile up on the downtown square

It was floatin' around
High in the air
Even if you looked you may not see it there
It's just one of those things
We rarely ever think about
Yeah it could come from a hamburger bag or a bubble gum wrapper
It's a day in the life of a little scrap piece of paper

There it goes...here it comes

Two people in the shadows where they couldn't be seen
Both of them was wearin' someone else's ring
She said here's my new number, you better write it down
So he grabbed that piece of paper just a layin' on the ground
He folded it up, and put it in his jeans
'Til it was found by his wife at her washing machine

Well, she threw it in the trash, yeah she took it out the door
Well that's her job 'cause he don't live there no more
She put it by the curb in a rubber maid bin
'Til the neighbour's dog Spot knocked it over again
It was set free when the cold wind blew
Yeah and just like that it was back on the move

A just a floatin' around
High in the air
Even if you looked you may not see it there
It's just one of those things
We rarely ever think about
Yeah it could come from a hamburger bag or a bubble gum wrapper
It's a day in the life of a little scrap piece of paper

Just a floatin' around
High in the air
Even if you looked you may not see it there
It's just one of those things
We rarely ever think about
Yeah it could come from a hamburger bag or a bubble gum wrapper
It's a day in the life of a little scrap piece of paper


7.That's The Truth

Lyrics:Paul Brandt/Chris Farren
Music:Paul Brandt/Chris Farren

So tired of listenin' to the politicians
You can't believe what you see in the news
Lawyers try with motions and revisions
To spin a tale and tip the scales of truth

I work hard to make an honest livin'
Do my best in everything I do
Whether it's nine to five, football, cars or fishin'
Or comin' home to hug and kiss on you

No lies or alibies
It's all so clear when I look in your eyes
Like an arrow shot bull's eye
Straight and true
Like the Mississippi flows into the bayou

(That's the truth) I'm comin' home to see you baby
You're the one thing that I know for sure
In a world that's goin' crazy
You're a matter of survival
My heart and soul revival
Swear on a stack of bibles
Cross my heart and I will be here for you
And that's the truth

When i'm lost in the chaos and confusion
You're the light that leads me to the shore
I tell you girl in a world full of illusions
You're the ray of truth that I've been lookin' for

Now I'm late on the interstate
Radio on at the end of the day
Got the pedal to the metal
Got the top rolled down
I wanna scream and shout about the love we found

(That's the truth) I'm comin' home to see you baby
You're the one thing that I know for sure
In a world that's goin' crazy
You're a matter of survival
My heart and soul revival
Swear on a stack of bibles
Cross my heart and I will be here for you
And that's the truth

Like and arrow shot bull's eye
Straight and true
Like the Mississippi flows into the bayou

(That's the truth) I'm comin' home to see you baby
You're the one thing that I know for sure
In a world that's goin' crazy
You're a matter of survival
My heart and soul revival
Swear on a stack of bibles
Cross my heart and I will be here for you
I'm comin' home to see you baby
You're the one thing that I know for sure
In a world that's goin' crazy
You're a matter of survival
My heart and soul revival
Swear on a stack of bibles
Cross my heart and I will be here for you
And that's the truth
(That's the truth)


8.That Hurts

Lyrics:Gary Burr/Gerry House
Music:Gary Burr/Gerry House

That hurts
Your baby told you it was over
And I'm just a friendly shoulder you can cry on
While I ache to take you into my arms
Of all the dreams in all the world
There's nothing worse
Than meant to be and you don't see

That I wanted to be the one to make your knees weak
Your hands shake
I wanted to be the one that you woke up to
Held on to
But I never knew that touch
And you'll never know how much
That hurts

It's not fair
I have to be the great pretender
As if I don't remember all those sad prayers
That sounded good but got me nowhere
Of all the jokes in all the world
How sad is this
To be so close and not let it show

That I wanted to be the one to make your knees weak
Your hands shake
I wanted to be the one that you woke up to
Held on to
But I never knew that touch
And you'll never know how much
That hurts

Oh I wanted to be the one to make your knees weak
Your hands shake
I wanted to be the one that you woke up to
Held on to
But I never knew that touch
And I wanted you so
But I have to let go
And you'll never know how much that hurts


9.There's A World Out There

Lyrics:Kent Blazy/Skip Ewing
Music:Kent Blazy/Skip Ewing

When I was a boy
I'd get so annoyed
Whenever it was pouring rain
Standin' at the glass door
Starin' at the outside nose pressed against the pane
I told my momma
I don't wanna be stuck inside no more
Give me thunder and lightnin', somethin' excitin'
That's what I'm livin' for

There's a world out there and I wanna be in it
I got a life and I'm gonna live it
Don't tell me the sky's the limit
There's footprints on the moon
I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled
Sew my dreams where they won't unravel
If you play it safe you won't get nowhere
I can't stay in here when there's a world out there

I remember back in school
They thought I was a fool
For askin' Lizzy Walker to the dance
She was always with the captain of the football team
Nobody thought I even have a chance
But imagine my surprise
When she looked me in the eyes
And said I'll go with you instead
I knew we'd be together for the rest of forever
When Lizzy looked at me and said
Hey baby

There's a world out there and I wanna be in it
I got a life and I'm gonna live it
Don't tell me the sky's the limit
There's footprints on the moon
I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled
Sew my dreams where they won't unravel
If you play it safe you won't get nowhere
I can't stay in here when there's a world out there

I imagine when they land on a brand new planet
In some far off galaxy
Somebody in the rocket's gonna look out the window
Feeling just like Lizzy and me

There's a world out there and I wanna be in it
I got a life and I'm gonna live it
Don't tell me the sky's the limit
There's footprints on the moon
I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled
Sew my dreams where they won't unravel
If you play it safe you won't get nowhere
I can't stay in here when there's a world out there

If you play it safe you won't get nowhere
You can't stay in here when there's a world out there

(No, I just can't do it)
There's a world out there
(Don't even try and play it safe)
No, no, no
(You're not gonna get anywhere)
No, no, no


10.The Sycamore Tree

Lyrics:Paul Brandt/Steve Rosen
Music:Paul Brandt/Steve Rosen

In the sticks down an old dirt road near a small Kentucky town
When his daddy would come home
Out past the old red barn in sycamore tree
Is where little Zach would go
And high above the guilt and pain
The only place that he was safe

Was high above in the strong arms of the sycamore tree
You could hear a small voice in the wind
Sayin', 'Please don't let him do that to me'
Prayin' to be born again
In the sycamore tree

Time went on as it always does, and his daddy's time had come
How he felt was hard to say
He often wondered how he'd ever make it through
But as they buried him that day
He realized it's not my fault
And as the leaves began to fall

From high above in the strong arms of the sycamore tree
You could hear forgiveness in the wind
Singin' out, 'Find the truth and the truth will set you free'
Broken chains and a heart on the mend
'Neath the sycamore tree, oh

And like an answer to his praying
As he watched his child playing

High above in the strong arms of the sycamore tree
You could hear a small voice in the wind
Sayin', 'Please Daddy won't you come and play with me'
In the sycamore tree
The sycamore tree

Forgiveness will set you free
Forgiveness, forgiveness
Forgiveness will set you free
Forgiveness, forgiveness
