Après Vous
03:05
|

|
She grew up in Smooth Rock Falls watching cowboy shows on tv,
She'd say "put your hands up" en anglais to Fleur-Ange, Jacques, and Henri,
She met Ti-Nest and she quit school, got married at 17,
Had two kids Chantale & Josée, worked at the station pumping gasoline
Well she's got a big, big heart,
And she'll always be there for you,
She's got a big, big heart,
And she lives her life "Après Vous"
She didn’t have much money when she got married to her husband, a lumberjack
But with her thread and needle and her two hands she put clothing on his back,
She chopped wood, did whatever she could to put her family first,
And when her parents passed away she kept her siblings close,
Made the best out of the worst
'Cause she's got a big, big heart,
And she'll always be there for you,
She's got a big, big heart and she lives her life "Après Vous"
They got a little extra money, her husband went out and bought her a sewing machine
She went back, got her diploma, now she's keeping the school clean,
Her family's warm with all her weaving, she's a real mother hen
And she'll make sure you're never leaving, you'll come home again and again
She's got a big, big heart,
And she'll always be there for you,
She's got a big, big heart,
And she lives her life "Après Vous"
She's got a big, big heart,
And she'll always be there for you,
She's got a big, big heart,
And she lives her life "Après Vous"

Fingers Crossed
03:09

These four white walls will crumble into dust one day,
And leave us barely breathing while we search for meaning why we stayed,
So let’s fix what’s broken, take the great wide open, live life real slow,
If we just stop short sellin’, there’s no tellin’ where we’ll go.
When all seems lost, don’t give up on me,
Keep both fingers crossed, and in time you’ll see…
There’s somethin’ better out there, there’s somethin’ better out there,
There’s somethin’ better out there.
All the things we doubt and all the things we fear,
No they won’t go away if we stay right here.
When all is lost, I won’t give up on you,
Keep both fingers crossed and we’ll see this through…
‘Cause there’s somethin’ better out there,
Somethin’ better out there, there’s somethin’ better out there for you and me,
Somethin’ better out there, somethin’ better out there, There’s somethin’ better out there
And I won’t give up on you, no matter what I do,
So don’t give up on me…
There’s somethin’ better out there,
Somethin’ better out there, there’s somethin’ better out there for you and me,
Somethin’ better out there, somethin’ better out there, there’s somethin’ better out there

June

You always say don’t wish your time away,
Live the moment, take it all in
But you know yesterday, I was thinkin’ ‘bout today,
I’m waiting for the next to begin
September, October, November, December,
Each night to the man in the moon,
Well I’d ask him to tell the earth to move faster
For I was longing for June
La da dn da, La da dn da da dn da
January, February, March, April, May,
No they can’t get here too soon,
‘Cause I still remember those nights in September
When I was just wishin’ for June
La da dn da, La da dn da, La da dn da da dn da
When September’s upon us on a nice day in August,
Take me up in a hot air balloon,
And don’t bring me down, I’ll stay up in the clouds
Until it’s the month of June
La da dn da, La da dn da, La da dn da da dn da
La da dn da, La da dn da, La da dn da da dn da
Oh give me the time when spring turns to summer
And all of the world is in bloom,
We’ll be alright if we’ve got each other,
And I know I’ll get there with you
‘Cause I still remember those nights in September,
When I was just wishin’ for…
La da dn da, La da dn da, La da dn da, La da dn da, La da dn da, La da dn da, La da dn da, La da dn da, La da dn da da dn da

Burning Heart
03:18
|

|
I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart,
And I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart,
And I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart
There’s no question – you came outta the dark ,
For first impressions, you’ve more than made your mark,
And I have a confession – you’ve lit every spark
You’re the one I desire when you ignite all your charm,
The flames are getting higher, but they won’t do you harm,
So don’t put out the fire to this three alarm, ‘cause don’t you know that
I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart,
And I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart,
And I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart
So call me baby – like Jennifer Grey,
You’re my Patrick Swayze – so let’s dance the night away,
‘Til things get hazy – who cares what they say…..
‘Cause they don’t know that
I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart,
And I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart,
And I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart
Bridge: Yeah I’m doing something I said I’d never do,
The temperature’s rising, all because of you
Now I’ve got a burning heart, I’ve got a burning heart,
I’ve got a burning heart,
Don’t you know that I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart
And I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart,
And I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart
I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart,
And I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart
And I’ve got a burning, I’ve got a burning heart

A Girl Said Yes
03:08
|

You make every day a favourite memory,
You make sure to love me unconditionally,
You make me see the good in everyone,
You make me feel like life has just begun
You make everything better,
You do, I must confess
And it’s all because a boy wrote a letter
It’s all because a girl said yes.
You, you make me feel secure,
With you, I’ve never felt so sure,
You, you make it all so clear,
That the past doesn’t equal the future my dear
You make everything better,
You do, I must confess
And it’s all because a boy wrote a letter.
It’s all because a girl said yes
This is a deal, a deal for life
I’ll be a simple man and call you my wife,
We’ll keep dreaming ‘til all our dreams come true,
And hope, hope will help us through
A rose before was just a rose,
A grey pale moon, but now it glows,
What I felt before now I feel tenfold,
Will you take this boy/girl to have and hold?
‘Cause you make everything better,
You do, I must confess
And it’s all because a boy wrote a letter
It’s all because a girl said yes.
Oh you make everything better,
You do, I must confess
And it’s all because a boy wrote a letter
It’s all because a girl said yes
And it’s all because a boy wrote a letter
It’s all because a girl said yes

Turquoise Blue

Once upon a time there was a little boy,
He lit up the world with his joy,
And even though his life would change,
His spirit still stayed the same
Little trooper, little soldier,
It will be different when you get older,
We'll be your army, we'll battle through,
In a sea of turquoise blue
Love carried him through each day,
While all of the town they did pray,
And the sweetest little songbird that anyone ever heard,
Told him it would all be okay.
Little trooper, little soldier,
It will be easy when you get older,
We'll be your army, we'll battle through,
In a sea of turquoise blue
He was a tough little man,
All part of a bigger plan,
Just one small chapter in a happily ever after,
At the end you'll see, just believe in the victory
For you're a little miracle man
Little trooper, little soldier,
You'll understand when you get older,
We'll be your army, we'll battle through,
In a sea of turquoise blue
In a sea of turquoise blue
In a sea of turquoise blue

Rita

Rita, you know that I’m uncomplicated,
There’s no one more dedicated. What you see is what you get.
Rita, I’ll take you under my wing,
For you I’d do anything. I won’t trade you for a Corvette.
Rita, take me on down the Rideau River,
I feel the open air getting nearer,
Just take me on down the Rideau River.
Rita, I just wanna make you shine,
As long as your mine Rita, I’ll be by your side.
Rita, you’re my pride and joy,
And I’m your country boy. And we both live for the ride.
Rita, take me on down the Rideau River,
I feel the open air getting nearer,
Just take me on down the Rideau River.
Rita, take me on down the Rideau River,
I’ll take good care of you Rita.
Just take me on down the Rideau River.
Rita, take me on down the Rideau River…
Rita, take me on down the Rideau River,
I feel the open air getting nearer,
Just take me on down the Rideau River.
Rita, take me on down the Rideau River,
I’ll take good care of you Rita.
Just take me on down the Rideau River.

Bungalow

I like our single story, so simple and small,
A solid foundation – no stairs to climb at all,
And when our world gets bigger or life around us grows,
We won’t want for anything in our little bungalow
I like to see the sparrows come back from year to year,
Signaling there’s hope that spring will soon be here,
And we’re just like the sparrows that no matter where we go,
We have everything that we need here in our little bungalow
And when our world gets bigger or life around us grows,
We’ll have everything that we need here in our little bungalow.

Fire In The Flame
04:53
|
|||
|
Our love, our love burns so bright,
I look up to the deep and darkened skies and thank my lucky stars most every night,
But they keep fading, they’ve all but gone away,
Where they are going or why they are leaving I can’t say
Will you still love me if I don’t know your name?
Will you still know me if I don’t act the same?
Will you still hold me if I’m the only one to blame?
Will you still show me there’s fire in this flame?
Our memories, oh they burned so bright,
I’d look up to the deep and darkened skies, my lucky stars still didn’t seem quite right
And they kept fading, ‘til they all faded away,
I don’t think they’re coming back this time, now I can’t tell each night from each day
Will you still love me when I don’t know your name?
Will you still know me when I don’t act the same?
Will you still hold me when I’m the only one to blame?
Will you still show me there’s fire in this flame?
Our future, our future burned so bright,
I’d look up to the deep and darkened skies – my lucky stars nowhere in sight,
But I know they told me – look in my heart not my head,
They told me listen carefully – remember these few words, then they said:
That you still love me though I don’t know your name,
And you still know me though I don’t act the same,
You still hold me, though you’re the one in pain,
And you show me, there’s still fire in this flame
Oh you show me, there’s still fire in our flame
