When You Say Nothing At All by Alison Krauss
It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain what I hear when you don’t say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes saying you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Old Mister Webster could never define
What’s being said between your heart and mine
Could I Have This Dance by Anne Murray
I’ll always remember, the song they were playing
The first time we danced, and I knew
As we swayed to the music, and held to each other
I fell in love with you
Could I have this dance, for the rest of my life
Could you be my partner, every night
When we’re together, it feels so right
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life
I’ll always remember, that magic moment
When I held you close, to me
As we moved together, I knew forever
You’re all I’ll ever need
Inside Your Heaven by Carrie Underwood
I’ve been down
Now I’m blessed
I felt a revelation coming around
I guess it’s right, it’s so amazing
Every time I see you I’m alive
You’re all I’ve got
You lift me up
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
When a storm blows your way
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you’re breathin’ in
A soothin’ wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When we touch, when we love
The stars line up
The wrong becomes undone
Naturally, my soul surrenders
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
When a storm blows your way
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you’re breathin’ in
A soothin’ wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When minutes turn to days and years
If mountains fall, I’ll still be here
Holdin’ you until the day I die
What A Beautiful Day by Chris Cagle
Day one
I stumbled through hello on Fifth Avenue
Day two
We grabbed a bite to eat and talked all afternoon
Caught a movie on day fourteen
And day sixty seven she said I love you to me
Oh what a feeling
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah what a life
Counting my blessings and knowing
Ooh we had our ups and downs
All along the way
She had a chance to leave but chose to stay
What a beautiful day
What a beautiful day
Day one sixteen
I asked her what she was doing for the rest of my life
Day one eighty nine
Oh I almost lost that girl to my foolish pride
But she said I do on day four eighty two
And gave me a son on day seven sixty one
Day eighteen thousand two hundred and fifty three
Well honey that’s fifty years
Yeah here’s to you and me
Day one I thank God I said hello on Fifth Avenue
Millionaire by Chris Stapleton
They say “Love is more precious than gold”
Can’t be bought and it can’t be sold
I got love enough to spare
That makes me a millionaire
I got a woman with eyes that shine
Down deep as a diamond mine
She’s my treasure so very rare
She’s made me a millionaire
When we ride around, ride around this old town
In my beat-up car, with the windows down
People look at her and they look at me
And say “That boy is sure living in luxury”
Sweet luxury
When the kisses fall from everywhere
Life reaches on, millionaire
When my pocket’s are empty and my cupboard is bare
I still feel like a millionaire
Speechless by Dan+Shay
You say you’ll be down in five
The smell of your perfume
Is floatin’ down the stairs
You’re fixin’ up your hair like you do
I know that I’ll be a mess
The second that I see you
You won’t be surprised
It happens every time, It’s nothin’ new
It’s always on a night like tonight
I thank God you can read my mind
‘Cause when you look at me with those eyes
I’m speechless
Starin’ at you, standin’ there, in that dress
What it’s doin’ to me, ain’t a secret
‘Cause watchin’ you is all that I can do
And I’m speechless
You already know that you’re my weakness
After all this time I’m just as nervous
Every time you walk into the room
I’m speechless
It started when you said hello
Just did something to me
And I’ve been in a daze
Ever since the day that we met
You take the breath out of my lungs
Can’t even fight it
And all of the words out of my mouth without even tryin’
And I’m speechless
Strawberry Wine by Diana Carter
He was working through college on my grandpa’s farm
I was thirsting for knowledge and he had a car
I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child
When one restless summer we found love growing wild
On the banks of the river on a well beaten path
It’s funny how those memories they last
Like strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine
I still remember when thirty was old
And my biggest fear was September when he had to go
A few cards and letters and one long distance call
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall
But year after year I come back to this place
Just to remember the taste
Of strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine
The fields have grown over now
Years since they’ve seen the plow
There’s nothing time hasn’t touched
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence
I’ve been missing so much
I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton
If I should stay
Well I would only be in your way
And so I’ll go, and yet I know
I’ll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That’s all I’m taking with me
Good-bye, please don’t cry
‘Cause we both know that I’m not
What you need
And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
This Kiss by Faith Hill
I don’t want another heartbreak
I don’t need another turn to cry, no
I don’t want to learn the hard way
Baby, hello, oh, no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky
It’s the way you love me
It’s a feeling like this
It’s centrifugal motion
It’s perpetual bliss
It’s that pivotal moment
It’s, ah, impossible
This kiss, this kiss (unstoppable)
This kiss, this kiss
Cinderella said to Snow White
How does love get so off course, oh
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby, I’m forever yours
You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky, or
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let’s let everything slide
You got me floating, you got me flying
It’s the way you love me baby
It’s the way you love me darling, yeah
I Walk the Line by Johnny Cash
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you’re mine, I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I’ll admit that I’m a fool for you
Because you’re mine, I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I’ve known proves that it’s right
Because you’re mine, I walk the line
You’ve got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can’t hide
For you I know I’d even try to turn the tide
Because you’re mine, I walk the line
Head Over Boots by Jon Pardi
I wanna sweep you off your feet tonight
I wanna love you and hold you tight
Spin you around on some old dance floor
Act like we never met before for fun, ’cause
You’re the one I want, you’re the one I need
Baby, if I was a king, ah, you would be my queen
You’re the rock in my roll
You’re good for my soul, it’s true
I’m head over boots for you
The way you sparkle like a diamond ring
Maybe one day we can make it a thing
Test time and grow old together
Rock in our chairs and talk about the weather, yeah
So, bring it on in for that angel kiss
Put that feel good on my lips, ’cause
Yeah, I’m here to pick you up
And I hope I don’t let you down, no, ’cause
Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
All that I know
Is you caught me at the right time
Keep me in your glow
‘Cause I’m havin’ such a good time with you
Baby, don’t you know
That you’re my golden hour
The color of my sky
You set my world on fire
And I know, I know everything’s gonna be alright
I used to get sad
And lonely when the sun went down
But it’s different now
‘Cause I love the light that I found in you
You make the world look beautiful, ooh
I thought I’d seen it all before
But lookin’ through your eyes
It looks like paradise
You’re My Better Half by Keith Urban
Car door slams, it’s been a long day at work
I’m out on the freeway and I’m wondering if it’s all worth
The price that I pay, sometimes it doesn’t seem fair
I pull into the drive and you’re standing there
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It’s all gonna be alright
You take my hand
You pull me close and you hold me tight
And it’s the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
‘Cause when it all comes down
And I’m feeling like I’ll never last
I just lean on you ’cause baby
You’re my better half
They say behind every man is a good woman
But I think that’s a lie
‘Cause when it comes to you I’d rather have you by my side
You don’t know how much I count you to help me
When I’ve given everything I got and I just feel like giving in
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It’s all gonna be alright
You take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and you hold me tight
I Hate Love Songs by Kelsei Ballerini
I hate Shakespeare and Gosling and cakes with white frosting
Two names in a heart-shaped tattoo
I think cupid is stupid and violets are purple not blue
I hate catching bouquets, the honeymoon phase
And letterman jackets don’t fit
Your eyes can’t hold stars and you’d die if your heart really skipped
I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
Yeah, I really do (I really do)
I hate love songs (I hate love songs)
But I love you
I hate pink hearts with glitter and Valentine’s dinner
And roses just die in a week
We were drunk when we met so we don’t know our anniversary, woops
Oh and I’m far too vain to kiss in the rain
The clouds, they aren’t numbered to nine
And you make me feel something but it sure as hell ain’t butterflies
And I’ll always love you but I don’t have to sing it
“For worse or for better” don’t rhyme
They say I got the right one so now I should write one
But I’d rather just show you tonight
You Had Me at Hello by Kenny Chesney
One word, that’s all was said,
Something in your voice called me, caused me to turn my head.
Your smile just captured me, you were in my future as far as I could see.
And I don’t know how it happened, but it happens still.
You ask me if I love you, if I always will
Well, you had me from “Hello”
I felt love start to grow the moment I looked into your eyes,
You won me, it was over from the start.
You completely stole my heart, and now you won’t let go.
I never even had a chance you know?
You had me from “Hello”
Inside I built a wall so high around my heart, I thought I’d never fall.
One touch, you brought it down
Bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me that I wasn’t going to love again
The last time was the last time I’d let someone in
That’s all you said
Something in your voice calls me, caused me to turn my head
You had me from “Hello”
You had me from “Hello”
Girl, I’ve loved you from “Hello”
You’re Still the One by Shania Twain
When I first saw you, I saw love
And the first time you touched me, I felt love
And after all this time
You’re still the one I love, mmm, yeah-yeah
Looks like we made it
Look how far we’ve come, my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we’d get there someday
They said, “I bet they’ll never make it”
But just look at us holding on
We’re still together, still going strong
You’re still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You’re still the one I want for life
(You’re still the one)
You’re still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You’re still the one I kiss goodnight
Ain’t nothin’ better
We beat the odds together
I’m glad we didn’t listen
Look at what we would be missin’
I’m so glad we made it
Look how far we’ve come, my baby
Fearless by Taylor Swift
There’s somethin’ bout the way
The street looks when it’s just rained
There’s a glow off the pavement
You walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah
Oh, yeah
We’re drivin’ down the road
I wonder if you know
I’m tryin’ so hard not to get caught up now
But you’re just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absentmindedly makin’ me want you
And I don’t know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don’t know why
But with you I’d dance in a storm
In my best dress
Fearless
So baby drive slow
‘Til we run out of road in this one horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger seat
You put your eyes on me
In this moment now capture it, remember it
Well you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake
I’m not usually this way but
You pull me in and I’m a little more brave
It’s the first kiss, it’s flawless, really something, it’s fearless
Our Song by Taylor Swift
I was ridin’ shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
He’s got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says, “Baby, is something wrong?”
I say, “Nothing, I was just thinking how we don’t have a song”
And he says
Our song is the slamming screen door
Sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window
When we’re on the phone and you talk real slow
‘Cause it’s late and your mama don’t know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date; “Man, I didn’t kiss her, and I should have”
And when I got home, ‘fore I said “Amen”
Asking God if he could play it again
I was walkin’ up the front porch steps after everything that day
Had gone all wrong and been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way
To my lovin’ bed
I almost didn’t notice all the roses
And the note that said
I was ridin’ shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song
Die A Happy Man by Thomas Rhett
Baby, last night was hands down
One of the best nights
That I’ve had, no doubt
Between the bottle of wine
And the look in your eyes and the Marvin Gaye
Then we danced in the dark under September stars in the pourin’ rain
And I know that I can’t ever tell you enough
That all I need in this life is your crazy love
If I never get to see the Northern Lights
Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night
Oh, if all I got is your hand in my hand
Baby, I could die a happy man
A happy man, baby, mmm
Baby, that that red dress brings me to my knees
Oh, but that black dress makes it hard to breathe
You’re a saint, you’re a goddess, the cutest, the hottest, a masterpiece
It’s too good to be true, nothing better than you
In my wildest dreams
And I know that I can’t ever tell you enough
That all I need in this life is your crazy love
If I never get to see the Northern Lights
Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night
