To Be Happy 03:44
To Be Happy ©Kevin Fisher/Billy Crain If I had one wish I would wish for two For me and you To be happy With the way things are Sometimes it gets hard But we've come so far To be happy Yeah, don’t think that I’m complaining Sometimes it keeps on raining Oh but don’t be frightened by thunder and lightning The sun comes out and the flowers grow And you find you're already on the road To be happy If I had one prayer To pull out of thin air Everyone, everywhere Would be happy We'd hand out valentines I'd be yours, you'd be mine There's a place, there's a time To be happy CHORUS We fuss and we fight We can't see the light We wake up and decide We don’t need to be right to be happy CHORUS

From This Dream Kevin Fisher/Fred Wilhelm I don't want to wake up From this dream that I'm in If I should wake up I'm afraid it'll end When I'm with you Dreams come true Life is full and so enthralling I feel like I'm flying, falling I don't want to wake up From this dream Lying beside you Time standing still Angels surrounded us And I pray they always will In this twilight Holding you tight All the world has disappeared Everything I want is here I don't want to wake up From this dream If a moment Could be stolen I would spend a life in prison If each night my dream was this one I don't want to wake up I don't want to wake up I don't want to wake up From this dream I don't want to wake up From this dream I don't want to wake up

I Love You More ©Kevin Fisher I love you more than thunder loves lightning More than April love rain More than Sunday morning choirs Love a heavenly refrain More than branches of the Willow Love to flutter in the breeze And the snows of Kilimanjaro Would love to melt into the seas, I love you more I love you more than faithful Romeo Loved his star-crossed Juliet Or James Dean and Humphrey Bogart Loved to hold that cigarette More than old men and lonely soldiers Love to spend the day Telling stories of their battles Or the girls that got away, I love you more I'd become a priest for you I'd become a thief for you I'd walk a million miles To offer some relief to you And just when I think I've felt it all Fallen hard as love can fall And searched my very soul down to its core I love you more I love you more than Solomon loved wisdom More than Pharaoh loved the Nile Or the brushes of DiVinci Loved the Mona Lisa's smile More than statues in the temple Or angels stuck in glass Would love to break the ties that bind them And fly away at last, I love you more I'd become a priest for you I'd become a thief for you I'd walk a million miles To offer some relief to you And just when I think I've felt it all Fallen hard as love can fall And searched my very soul down to its core I love you more Every letter of every word Of every phrase I've ever heard And every clever metaphor is not enough I love you more I'd become a priest for you I'd become a thief for you I'd walk a million miles To offer some relief to you And just when I think I've felt it all Fallen hard as love can fall And searched my very soul down to its core I love you more

Just A Train 04:20
Just A Train ©Kevin Fisher Look at that train coming hard and fast Into some future, out of some past A million tons of American Dream Busting out of some movie scene You say that it’ll turn your life around You pray that it’ll be glory bound You hope, you cry, you laugh and sigh When the damn thing simply rolls on by But sometimes a train is just a train A random traveler without a name One more faceless empty stare Racing off to who knows where Don’t think too hard, don’t rack your brain Sometimes a train is just a train You can feel its thunder, hear its whistle blow You can tell yourself you’re good to go But not every engine can bear the weight Of one man’s heart or another man’s fate But sometimes a train is just a train Rusting wheels on a western plain A ghost machine that’s here and gone Neither good nor bad, right or wrong There are things in life that you can’t explain Like sometimes a train is just a train But if you hold on tight, somewhere down the line You’ll be right on track, right on time And sometimes a train is just train That finally carries the very thing You’ve been working for year after year Now it’s coming, now it’s here Just hold your ground and don’t complain Sometimes a train is just a train And when we’re through with life’s joy and pain And heaven’s gate is opening And “all aboard” the angels sing We’ll ride on up with golden wing But only faith, hope and love remain Sometimes a train is just a train Sometimes a train is just a train Just a train

Let's Go 03:07
Let’s Go ©Kevin Fisher Slow down, turn around Let’s take the scenic route If we hurry we can take our time I’ve had enough of this fast pace rat race I wanna be where I can see some sky There is a road less traveled We can unwind and unravel Far from the headache and hassle There’s a way I know, let’s go Time’s slipping by In the wink of an eye it’s gone Goodbye goodbye Hey you, Bobby Sue It’s been a year or two Don’t you think that we should tie the knot? We could find some oceanside chapel We’ll say our vow to the preacher and God We’ll spend our lives together Live in a happy ever after Filling our days with laugher There’s a way I know, let’s go Time’s slipping by In the wink of an eye it’s gone Goodbye goodbye We can wait around for something to find us Or we can hit the road There is a road less traveled We can unwind and unravel Far from the headache and hassle There’s a way I know, let’s go Time’s slipping by In the wink of an eye it’s gone Goodbye goodbye

Life Is Sweet ©Kevin Fisher Life is short Incomplete We work the field Then lie beneath But in the end I still believe Life is beautiful Life is sweet I’ve learned to take The good with the bad To make the most Of what I have To face the dark Unafraid to dream Life is beautiful Life is sweet Time flies by in the wink of an eye So I go with the flow of life Life is a battle Bitter and hard Prayers go unanswered Love breaks the heart But there is victory Even in defeat Long as we can love Life is sweet To those with ears to hear Let me repeat Life is beautiful Life is sweet

Long Slow Beautiful Dance Kevin Fisher/Fred Wilhelm Sounds like a scene from the silver screen But I swear that’s how it was Love doesn’t always look like a picture perfect storybook But sometimes it does Standing beside her the stars shined brighter And for a moment all the world was, all the world was still I knew we belonged together the moment my eyes met hers And I thought nothing last forever, but maybe this one will A deep breath and baby steps That’s how the whole thing starts It’s a long slow beautiful dance to the beat of a heart The world starts to spin again, you learn things you didn’t know then Feels like the bloom is off the rose But you weather a few storms and you pull out a few thorns And together the garden grows and grows A deep breath and baby steps That’s how the whole thing starts It’s a long slow beautiful dance to the beat of a heart It’s a long slow beautiful dance, my friend Life is better than it ever was The house is filled with so much love It’s more than enough for two So we’ve been thinking about having a baby I know it sounds crazy, but it seems like the natural thing to do A deep breath and baby steps That’s how the whole thing starts It’s a long slow beautiful dance to the beat of a heart

Mashed Potatoes © Kevin Fisher Sweet potato pie and a plate of fried chicken Collard greens, cornbread and all the fixin’s Lemonade and sweet tea trying to make a fool out of me Heaven knows I should be on a big fat diet But with all this food my stomach can’t keep quiet Temptation’s in the kitchen and look what she’s bringing out to eat The devil is a woman with a bowl of mashed potatoes The devil is a woman with a bowl of mashed potatoes I should be eating cottage cheese and tomatoes But the devil is a woman with a bowl of mashed potatoes I try to have a salad and some plain brown rice But there’s someone masquerading as an angel of light Shining down buttermilk biscuits and grade A beef The devil is a woman with a bowl of mashed potatoes The devil is a woman with a bowl of mashed potatoes I should be eating cottage cheese and tomatoes But the devil is a woman with a bowl of mashed potatoes I’ve got a hunger for the truth But there’s one that’s stronger, and it’s for food Homemade marmalade on fresh baked bread Vanilla bean ice cream with thick chocolate spread All over the top, hot and sticky as a maple tree in July The devil is a woman with a bowl of mashed potatoes And a table full of sweets about thirty minutes later I should be eating cottage cheese and tomatoes But the devil is a woman with a bowl of mashed potatoes

Rise Up 03:19
Rise Up ©Kevin Fisher Most of us are satisfied With what we’ve got, our lot in life And all that lies within our reach Is good enough for us at least That’s what we say But treasures that are farther out Or deeper in are often found Way outside our comfort zone So we stay inside the safe and known Not temping fate Most of us are well aware That everybody falls But a few rise up against the common place Risk defeat, complete disgrace Despite the odds they still embrace The search for love, the fight of faith For the joy, the dream, the hunt, the chase Or just to find some breathing space And when life slaps them in the face And says enough’s enough A few rise up I found myself in situations Held back by lack of firm foundations I didn’t build along the road And now I find that I am going Where I’ve always gone But when I look around and see That I am not along A few rise up against the common place Risk defeat, complete disgrace Despite the odds they still embrace The search for love, the fight of faith For the joy, the dream, the hunt, the chase Or just to find some breathing space And when life slaps them in the face And says enough’s enough A few rise up A few rise up Oh God I pray for strength to change So when I reach my judgment day The angels smile at me and say Welcome home my son Rise up Rise up Rise up

Somewhere In Hollywood Kevin Fisher/Stephonie Seekel Somewhere in Hollywood The city where the angels get their wings The sun is shining And the stars are like a million diamond rings The sky is blue, a wish is always coming true Somewhere in Hollyood Somewhere in Hollywood My baby shows a Mona Lisa smile I always thought was meant for me Until they told her she had style A pretty face, amazing grace Come get a place Somewhere in Hollywood I told her when she said goodbye Stretch your wings and learn to fly You never know until you try Always hold your head up high In return life will be good Somewhere in Hollywood Somewhere in Hollywood She calls me up to say she’s doing well She tries to make me laugh But somehow she’s not acting like herself She says she feels alone, there’s silence on the phone Somewhere in Hollywood CHORUS Maybe I should have begged her Baby please come home But now she’s out there on her own As good as gone CHORUS On shining streets lay shards of broken dreams That just get trampled on, rained upon And pushed out of the scene Bright lights flashing at the stars In fancy cars Somewhere in Hollywood Where you can find your dreams Or lose who you are Somewhere in Hollywood

Tenderly 02:57
Tenderly ©Kevin Fisher The air is cooling and the sun's going down The day's been grueling in this dusty old town My body's aching for what you do to me Tender tenderly Tender tenderly The words are easy when the language is love You know exactly what I'm thinking of My heart is hungry for what you do to me Tender tenderly Tender tenderly I've had lovers go up in flames Been with others who've had no names But God I've waited patiently For someone who really touches me I feel your fingers and their touch is like fire Sensation lingers then it turns to desire You make a motion and girl I agree Tender tenderly Tender tenderly

Fifty-Four Years ©Kevin Fisher Fifty-four years ago when they were still young And songs long forgotten had yet to be sung They rushed to the alter, abandoned their fears And fought for each other for fifty four years And now that he holds her while she fades away There’s nothing to offer and nothing to say That hasn’t been said before through laughter and tears Through living and loving her for fifty-four years Fifty-four years ago they traded a vow That they kept like a treasure, though heaven knows how There must have been hard times but now it appears That they lived in perfection for fifty-four years And now that he holds her while she fades away There’s nothing to offer and nothing to say That hasn’t been said before through laughter and tears Through living and loving her for fifty-four years Strange how a lifetime can all come to this Ten thousand memories and one final kiss And now that he holds her while she fades away There’s nothing to offer and nothing to say That hasn’t been said before through laughter and tears Through living and loving her for fifty-four years How can he be losing her after fifty-four-years?

Three Cheers 02:57
Three Cheers ©Kevin Fisher Me and all of my high school friends We get together now and then There’s a few that I just can’t stand But after a couple of beers Everyone’s singing three cheers One for the moment One for history One for the future May it always be a mystery Even if you look I would bet You wouldn’t find even one regret That none of us were the teacher’s pet So long live regulars Joe’s So raise your glass in a toast One for the moment One for history One for the future May it always be a mystery Jimmy took his life just like in The Big Chill Billy got a wife when he went to Brazil Susie’s still as happy as she always was Started dating Linda and that’s alright with us So long live regulars Joe’s So raise your glass in a toast One for the moment One for history One for the future May it always be a mystery

Crazy Life 04:08
CRAZY LIFE Kevin Fisher Woke up with my tear stained pillow on the floor again I think I had a bad dream cause I think I had a hard night Cause you know it's been a crazy life So I jump in the shower and it Feels like my whole body's crying and it has been Think I had a bad dream cause I think I had a hard night Cause you know it's been a crazy life But that's alright I don't feel sad I look outside and the weather's not bad I know these times are the best I've ever had And I think I'm gonna be alright And I think I'm gonna do just fine And I think I'm gonna be ok And I think I'm gonna make it through this crazy life This crazy life Old lady walking across the street, I try and help her but she pushes me away And I think to myself she must be so scared and I think she must be so tired From living in this crazy life So I buy a paper for a quarter and it used to be a dime And I read about inflation, I read about crime and how we're all just So scared and a little bit too tired of living in this crazy life Ya, but that's alright cause I don't feel sad I look outside and the weather's not bad I know these times are the best I've ever had CHORUS Now, I'm not trying to hide what's real I know sometimes you get a raw deal Life is short and time is cruel But I can't help seeing the glass half full So I lay my poor tired head on the pillow again And I pray to god maybe we all sleep well, and maybe we can dream big Cause you know it's gonna be a crazy life Ya, but that's alright don't feel sad Look outside the weather's not bad Know these times are the best we've ever had CHORUS
