It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen."

When I became a father in the spring of '81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son.
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end,
I took my daddy's secret and I passed it on to him.

[Chorus]

Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates.
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake.
If they know half the things I've done, they'll never let me in.
And then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again.

[Chorus]

Stranger In My Arms"

   



There's a stranger in my arms tonight
And I know the reason why
I've left her all alone one two many times
She use to tremble at my touch
And her kiss was soft and warm
But tonight, there's a stranger in my arms

She's still look's the same
And she still talks the same
And she answers when I call her by the same name
But now to late I realize
I let her love for me die

There's a stranger in my arms tonight

She's still look's the same
And she still talks the same
And she answers when I call her by the same name
But now to late I realize
I let her love for me die
There's a stranger in my arms tonight

There's a stranger in my arms tonight

The Chill Of An Early Fall"

   



Well her old friend, from her own end of town dropped by today,
And way down deep inside me something died
When he came 'round to see her that way.
Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind
Will blow like a cold winter squall.
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

And I'll be drinking again and thinking whenever he calls,
There's a storm coming on, it won't be too long till the snow falls.
Oh I'll be sobersome,
But when October comes and goes and no time at all

I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

Oh how quick they slip away, here today and gone tomorrow.
Love and seasons never stay, bitter winds are sure to follow.
Now there's no doubt, it's gonna be cold out tonight;
I've shivered all day, and when I look in her eyes
Needing to hold her so tight, she just looks away.

Oh she'll swear that it's true, he's just someone she knew
Long ago, and I'll know that's not all,
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.
Oh I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

I've Convinced Everybody But Me"

   
 


The guys down at the job all want to know
How things are goin' since I let you go
I laugh and say my heart ain't missed a beat
I've convinced everybody but me

[Chorus:]
I'm all right, I'm okay, that's what I always say
When they ask me how I'm doing without you
I say I'm glad I'm free and if they all believe

I've convinced everybody but me

I'm the life of the party every night
Nobody knows I'm dyin' deep inside
I don't hurt at all as far as they can see
I've convinced everybody but me

[Chorus]

I smile in every mirror
Like I'm such a happy man
But my heart knows what a liar I am

[Chorus]

Yes, I've convinced everybody but me

If I Know Me"

   
 


We both said some things I know we never meant,
And when I slammed the door tonight you wondered where I went.
If I know you, you're probably wonderin' what to do.
You're thinkin' that I'm gone for good, if I know you.

[Chorus:]
But if I know me, I'll turn this car around.
I won't get halfway through town, and I'll be sorry.
I'll stop and call, and you'll say you're sorry too,

And I'll come runnin' back to you, if I know me.

Sometimes I lose my head, say things to break your heart,
Forgettin' if I lost your love, it would tear my world apart.
If I know you, you didn't mean one single thing you said.
Truth be known, you're dyin', cryin', lyin' there in bed.

[Chorus]

If I know me, and I know me.

You Know Me Better Than That"

   
 


Baby, since you left me, there's somebody knew.
She thinks I'm perfect, I swear.
She likes my body, my class and my charm.
She says I've got a confident air.
She respects my ambition, thinks I'm talented too,
But she's in love with an image time is bound to see through.

[Chorus:]
Oh/But you know me better than that.
You know the me that gets lazy and fat.
How moody I can be, all my insecurities.
You've seen me lose all my charm, you know I was raised on a farm.
Oh, she tells her friends I'm perfect
