TO the MOON and BACK to the Moon and Back Is Quite a Distance

TO THE MOON AND BACK To the moon and back is quite a distance. I thread through every song on my first solo guess it’s about the distance I had to walk album. You can find all the different stages to finally have this album in my hands; at of a loving woman including the heartbro- least it feels like it. “To the moon and back” ken, the faithful, the caring, the desperate is also a term used to express how much and the head-over-heels-in-love ones. I’ve you love somebody. I use it every day when I experienced all of this and there’s one thing look at the love of my life, George, to whom I that I have learned: whatever life hands would like to dedicate this album. Love is the out to you, it’s so much easier to take when most powerful force in the universe. That’s you’re in love! why I picked this topic which runs like a 01 WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE 02 I‘M GETTING‘ GONE

It’s a kiss on my cheek when the sun comes up I bundled up my t-shirts packed some extra jeans two sugars and a cream in my coffee cup Runnin’ down this list in my head after holdin’ me all night Gotta finish up this letter another line or two that’s what love looks like And place it by your pillow on the bed and then It’s warmin’ up my car on a cold winter mornin’ little post-it notes sayin’ “i love you darlin’” I’m getting’ gone, gonna get out on that highway and makin’ me smile And try and find the pieces of my life yeah that’s what love looks like I’m getting’ gone, gonna leave this fight behind me And it looks like we’re in it so deep Doesn’t matter who was wrong or right yeah, it’s all over you and me I’m getting’ gone

That’s what love looks like I’ve written this goodbye note a hundred times before when you got it right Then stayed and tried to work it out instead look at you and I But you’ve been so unhappy, we don’t talk much anymore that’s what love looks like And the words we left unspoken they’re better left unsaid

It’s fightin’ and laughin’, makin’ up just like that I’m getting’ gone, gonna get out on that highway it’s givin’ all you got and gettin’ it back And try and find the pieces of my life yeah, it’s bigger than life I’m getting’ gone, gonna leave this fight behind me that’s what love looks like Doesn’t matter who was wrong or right It’s the smile that you see in my eyes I’m getting’ gone it’s the happiness we can’t hide No, not one single second thought, now it’s crystal clear That’s what love looks like We’ll both be better off once I’m outta here ... You’re sleepin’ there so soundly, dreamin’ I suppose But I wonder if you know And it looks like we’re in it so deep yeah it’s all over you and me I’m getting’ gone, leavin’ any moment Gotta try and find the pieces of my life That’s what love looks like I’m getting’ gone, don’t know where I’m goin’ ... But I know it’s time to say goodbye Oh oh oh oh oh I’m getting’ gone That’s what love looks like I’m getting’ gone ... 03 LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK 04 EVEN IF IT BREAKS MY HEART

Day after day we‘re off to the races Restless shadows gather in your eyes The kids and the job puttin‘ us through our paces Watching the horizon day and night We gotta make some time for just you and me Out there you see, so many things I know our lives can seem kind of crazy But all you want is to chase your dreams Let‘s find a night and just be lazy. And where it goes from there well let‘s just see If it takes goodbye to help you reach that far off star Somehow I‘ll find the way to say the words I wanna live, laugh, - Love you to the moon and back. If letting go helps you discover just how beautiful you are Better hold on tight it‘s a long, long way to go. And brings you all the good that you deserve Now won‘t it feel fine, - Sit back and let‘s enjoy the ride I‘m glad I paid a part, even if it breaks my heart ‘Cause when I love you to the moon and back, I wanna take it slow. Silence like the sunlight fill this room Strange how I‘m already missing you Honey tonight ain’t gonna have any worries But one more kiss won‘t be enough Just you ‘n me – I don’t wanna hurry To make you feel this kind of love Makin’ the most of the way we make love come alive I’ll get the wine and start the radio playing’ If it takes goodbye to help you reach that far off star Your hand in mine to the music we‘re swayin’ Somehow I‘ll find the way to say the words Slowing it down tonight let’s take our time. If letting go helps you discover just how beautiful you are And brings you all the good that you deserve I wanna live, laugh... I‘m glad I paid a part, even if it breaks my heart

People rush around runnin into eachother And I‘d do anything for you They don‘t seem to know what we‘ve both discovered Anything you need me to That we don‘t want to live our lives in overdrive Just to make you happy I‘d do anything for you I wanna live, laugh, - Love you to the moon and back. Better hold on tight it‘s a long, long way to go. If it takes goodbye to help you reach that far off star Now won‘t it feel fine, - Sit back and let‘s enjoy the ride Somehow I‘ll find the way to say the words ‘Cause when I love you to the moon and back, If letting go helps you discover just how beautiful you are Yeah, when I love you to the moon and back, And brings you all the good that you deserve When I love you to the moon and back, we‘ll take it nice I‘m glad I paid a part, even if it breaks my heart and slow Even if it breaks my heart

Come on and love me to the moon and back, Oh, Oh, Oh I love you to the moon and back 05 AFTER THE RAIN 06 WALK ON

Rain was pourin’ down, the night he broke the news Hurt today - gone tomorrow Thunder crashed around him, when he told me we were through I have loved and learned - there‘s something I have missed Heartless as a bitter wind he blew away for good I‘m takin‘ back my heart - time to lead and not follow I struggled in that storm for months until I understood ‚Yeah‘ I‘m breaking out Tears are just like rain, Ain‘t gonna be no side-show When they finish falling, nothing’s quite the same. Look at me Watch the way that love goes, baby… After the rain, the storm’s a memory The sky is clear, the air is fresh Walk on - on my way to something better It’s time to plant a seed Walk on - that‘s how it‘s gotta be After the rain, life begins a new Be strong - strong enough - come whatever It’s time to grow, time to show The only way I‘m gonna get to me The world what I can do Is walk on, walk on After the rain Gotta move - but, I ain‘t running For years my life revolved around him, constant as the sun I can take the truth - I can face the night alone, Oh But never changing leads to words unsaid and dreams undone I ain‘t lookin‘ back – Lord I wanna see what‘s coming Now I’m free to be the me he never really knew ‘Cause, when I‘m talkin‘ love Do the things I didn’t and I always wanted to I ain‘t never gonna fake it Funny how it goes It‘s my life The rain that drowns your dreams also makes them grow And I don‘t want to waste it, yeah, baby…

After the rain, the storm’s a memory... Walk on - on my way...

Sometimes truth is hard to see ‚Yeah‘ I‘m breaking out I thank the lord for showin’ me, yeah Ain‘t gonna be no side-show Look at me After the rain, the storm’s a memory... Watch the way that love goes, baby

Oh, After the rain Walk on - on my way to something better Walk on - that‘s how it‘s gotta be Be strong - strong enough - come whatever The only way I‘m gonna get to me I‘ll take a leap of faith, ‚cause I believe Walk on, baby walk on, hey yeah, baby walk on 07 ONE STEP CLOSER 08 HE IS

I‘ve seen my heart of darkness I don‘t know quite where to begin Let‘s just say I crossed over that line It’s kind of like describing red Held hands with the hopeless The thing his smile does in my heart In too deep on that ride went around one more time The same thing light does in the dark When you‘re standing on the edge you don‘t look down The kind of thing that words just miss Till you‘re ready and willing to fly He is.

Now I‘m one step closer An empty hole inside of me With my arms open wide here The one I know the people see I‘m one step closer The place I guess that God knew best to fill And I‘m willing to try this time With yearning emptiness The perfect puzzle piece that fits I hitched a ride with forgiveness He is. In that river of emotion I went down a third time I spent the night with the living When I‘m not strong enough to see Took a chance looked inside didn‘t know who I‘d find When I‘m not sure of my own dreams Standing on the corner of that lone goodbye When I‘m not able to believe All alone, it‘s there I made up my mind He is.

Now I‘m one step closer And when I wake up in the night With my arms open wide yeah A big decision on my mind I‘m one step closer and I‘m not praying like I could And I‘m willing to try yeah Not believing like I should He tells me with a quiet kiss I’m sick of givin’ up He is. Ooo…with a little luck I’m gonna get out of here When I‘m not strong enough to see When I‘m not sure of my own dreams When you‘re standing on the edge you don‘t look down When I‘m not able to believe Till you‘re ready and willing to fly He is… yeah, he is.

Now I‘m one step closer And when the spotlight shines on me With my arms open wide yeah And everyone is on their feet I‘m one step closer Guess who‘s over to the side And I‘m willing to try yeah So content to let me shine Guess who‘s cheering with the rest? He is, I‘m one step closer... 09 RAIN 10 EVENTUALLY

Shattered dreams and broken hearts I’ve had my share I lie in bed and wonder how you are Wrong turns and endless roads that lead nowhere Little things remind me of how we are now apart Like a desert sun my heart was burning dry No more talking on the phone Longing for a drop of water to bring me life Or late nights with you alone Like a miracle your love poured down And though I don’t know why you said good-bye And I’m gonna lay here in it until I drown Eventually I forget about you In the rain pouring down on me Eventually I’ll love someone new Like a river your sweet love sets me free Though all I do is think about the way we used to be Right where I want to be I’ll get on with life Rain washing me away Eventually Let it flood and carry me on a feeling You’re the reason I live for the rain I’m waiting for your memory to fade I’m still holding onto all the promises you made I forever thirsted for your love so real You said you felt for me I just need one touch from you and I’m healed A love that would always be I love it when you cool me down and take control And I wish I could feel that love tonight And drip a thousand kisses on my very soul So let the clouds come rollin’ in Eventually I forget about you Flood my heart baby let the storms begin, like Eventually I’ll love someone new Though all I do is think about the way we used to be Rain pouring down on me... I’ll get on with life Eventually Let it rain let it rain Let it rain I want to feel it Somewhere between these walls of time Someone will love this heart of mine Feel the rain pouring down on me Though it hurts to know it won’t be you Like a river your sweet love sets me free Right where I want to be Eventually I forget about you Rain washing me away Eventually I’ll love someone new Let it flood and carry me on a feeling Though all I do is think about the way we used to be You’re the reason I live for the rain I’ll get on with life Livin’ for the rain Eventually Oooh, let it rain THANKS TO
