Song - Running Too Fast

Running Too Fast

Verse I

Sometimes I wonder -
Whether it has been worth it.

No matter ho hard I try -
There is always another obstacle.

I think that I know what to do -
Then suddenly the rules change.

What once was fine is now wrong -
My heart aches and hardens again.

Chorus

Open your heart & eyes again -
To find a love that matters.

It seems like I've done this before -
A hundred thousand times.

I've grown so tired of all this stress -
And want to change it all.

Can you and I really do it all ?
And make the world a better place ?

Open your eyes to the one like you -
Cause only they love you.

Reach out and give me your hand
And let us walk this life together.

Verse II

Can you really make a difference ?
When they want it all for themselves.

They take it all and hurt you so often -
And say that only they matter.

Hurt me no more please -
Give me a way to know.

Life can be beautiful -
If only you know the Way.

Chorus

Verse III

I know what really matters -
It's not the glitter or spoils.

It’s the heart that tells the truth -
And knows those so dear.

You give it one more chance -
To find a love so true.

Come walk with me my love -
And brighten the way with your smile.

Sing His praises as only you know -
Ands feel the wind at your back.

Open your heart and soul once again.
To find the love that's meant to be

You and I are the ones -
Who can see it all once again.

Chorus

Song: This is Us

MARK KNOPFLER

This Is Us

(Featuring Emmylou Harris)

This is us down at the Mardi Gras
This is us In your Daddy's Car
You and the missing link
Yeah, I'd had a little too much to drink,now
Too long in the sun
Having too much fun
You and me and our memories
This is us

Rocking at the barbecue
Yeah, when we said I do
Hand jiving on the Ballroom floor
You in that wedding coat you wore
And you in that amazing dress
I was stoned on love I guess
You and me we were meant to be
This is us

This is us on our Honeymoon
In our hotel roomSitting by the wishing well
Checking out of the love motel
Making plans for the sunshine state
Waiting at the terminal gate
You and me making history
This is us

And our baby boy
With our pride and joy
You at the Sunday Game
Standing next to What's hisname?
On our Anniversary
With the family
You and me and our memories
This is us
