TOO MUCH TO DENY © 2003 Dean Taylor
Me and Deb were in our prime
Everything looked good
I never stopped to think about what
I never understood
A moment’s hesitation is a lifetime’s long regret
The strength of her compassion could not match my cruelty
The first time that I made her cry was
The first time that I lied
The pain of that broken trust was
Too Much To Deny
Too Much To Deny
Like the girls I knew before
She never had a chance
It wasn’t long before I’d broke
Her spirit with my crazy dance
I thought I’d buried deep inside what I tried to forget
But what comes stealing back from there is so much more than that
Every time that feeling comes
Across my Bridge of Sighs
What haunts me like a ghost I fear is
Too Much To Deny
Too Much To Deny
Every man who does his time
Knows wrong from right
It’s not what you know but what you do
That 'll lead you to the light
I don’t know when I knew but something’s not the same
There’s something wrong, I can’t go on till I face my fears again cause….
Everything I’ve tried denying comes
Rushing back in spades
It’s then that voice of conscience says it’s
Too Much To Deny
The rock that shields me from that mighty
Rush of pain gone by is
The One that brings my soul to bear… he’s
Too Much To Deny, she’s Too Much To Deny

Truth In Love © 2003 Dean Taylor
There comes a time when you know there’s another
I could tell by the way she avoided my eyes
Truth denied is a cunning foe
He slips away where you dare not go
If you do it’s a cold and lonely way
I had to ask to finish her move
The answer told, completed the game
Truth confirmed is a cunning foe
Before you know it you’ll be on the floor
Then you look around but you see there’s no one there
The truest love is one that needs no reply
Our give and take is not even close
Love disguised is a cunning foe
She’ll squeeze you till it hurts then she let’s you go
Then that emptiness tells you it‘s all worth the pain
Why is Truth in Love denied me?
I need Truth in Love inside me
Give me Truth in Love alone
Truth in Love
Truth in Love
Truth in Love

One More Chance
03:35
|

I’ve done things I never thought I could do
You know I’ve lied and cheated on you
I know I’ve caused you so much pain....I feel it too
It hurts me when I see you cry....I’ll make it up to you
I’ll do my time, I’ll pay my dues,
I’ll do anything to make up for the things I used to do
I love you, just give me one more chance
One more chance, one more chance
One more chance, for true romance
Another chance to do the dance
I never thought I’d be so dependent on you
Now I know I can’t live without you
I’ll try to make you see I’m sorry, God knows I’ll try
Judge me by my actions baby, they say more than words
I’ll do my time, I’ll pay my dues,
I’ll do anything to make up for the things I used to do
I love you, just give me one more chance
One more chance, one more chance
One more chance, for true romance
Another chance to do the dance

I'll Be There
03:04

I’ll be leaving in that morning light
I can’t decide if it’s wrong or right
All I know is that I’ll be gone
And so will the things that haunt me from that September morn
Soon you won’t be a memory
I’ll Be There
I’ve hit some stages they don’t even know
Like old friends they just come and go
I’m so tired of being tired
I toss and turn till your image burns thru the fog that I call sleep
I won’t just see you in my dreams
I’ll Be There
Sometimes I wish I knew but most times I don’t
Did they reach you or were you alone?
I was praying you found your way
Then your tower fell and that’s when I yelled “God please bring her home”
It doesn’t matter any more
It doesn’t matter any more
It doesn’t matter any more
I’ll Be There

Innocense Lost
03:01
|

The neighborhood ladies all agreed the new baby
Had a spirit unlike any other
With a smile so bright that she lit up the night
You couldn’t help but have a tear in your eye
But as the years went by that sparkle in her eye
Dimmed and finally died
Nobody knew what she had to go through
To keep those dirty little secrets inside
Innocence lost, oh what a cost of
Innocence Lost
Jenny’s on a date, she’s gonna stay out late
Cause all of that attention will feel good
It’s only when they’re yearning for her love she feels deserving
Of any kind of love and respect
So she’ll swallow all their lies with a look in her eyes
Of hope for a love so true
But when the truth comes down there are cracks in the crown
Of every prince she wants to take her away
Chorus
Now Millie’s grown older with stooped over shoulders and
Most of her children have died
The rest put her in a home cause she can’t be alone
And said they’d visit every chance that they could
But as the days grow long and she’s sitting alone
And no one even bothers to call
She doesn’t want to believe that she could be deceived
By the ones she’d given all of her love

Living Love
02:53
|

There are all kinds of love
I’ve had my share but nothing was enough
I’ve scaled the highest mountains and went sailing on the winds
Flying to the sun on melting wings
I swore I’d never go that high again and risk another fall
But that’s before my Living Love with you
There are all kinds of love
There were times I would heed the Siren’s call
That momentary pleasure was like morphine in the vein
I sold my soul to keep that deadly flow
With nothing else to feed on we both knew it had to die
But now I’m Living Love with you
In the end what is love
But a place where two hearts can beat as one?
Our love is the foundation that grows stronger everyday
With every moment lived for greater good
The bond we share between us will live on into the ages
I thank God I’m Living Love with you
Thank God I’m Living Love with you

Crazy Love
04:05
|

We’re always doing it like rabbits
After we fight like cats and dogs
There’s hardly one without the other
Can’t you see there’s something wrong?
You’ve got me going round in circles
Sometimes I feel I’m in a race
But I don’t know which way I’m going
And you keep telling me to pick up the pace
I’ve had enough of this Crazy Love
Where hurting each other is a game
Don’t want no more of this Crazy Love
Why can’t I just break this spell of Crazy Love?
Every time I think of leaving
I keep coming back for more
Always wishing I was miles away
Instead I’m doing time with you
Can’t I get out of this crazy love?
I know it’s never gonna change
I’ve had enough of this crazy love
Why can’t I just break this spell of crazy love?
SOLO
Just let me out of this Crazy Love
You must find comfort in the pain
I’ve had enough of this Crazy Love
Where broken promises are made
Don’t want no more of this Crazy Love
I know it’s never gonna change
Don’t want no more of this Crazy Love
Hurting each other is a game

Going Home
03:54
|
|||
The clouds are misty on the mountain
The air is crisp, clean and cold
The sun is peeking through the treetops
The day is only hours old
Little did I know then that a day would come to pass
when I'd need those memories to keep me sane
Those golden times are still living in my mind
That's what I call Going Home
Lucy Anne stands at the window
watching Daddy feed the dogs
After breakfast we'll go fishing he and I,
and Little Sis will tag along
All these things that I remember from my youth
Help me now to pass the time away
The nurses wonder what it is that makes me smile,
I just tell them I'm Going Home
Momma's cooking in the kitchen
The cabin warms with the smell
Aunts and uncles at the door now
Thanksgiving day and all is well
I remember wishing that those days would never end
But it's now that my days are all the same
The only time I'm happy is the only time I move
And the only time is when I'm Going Home

Freedom Ain't Free
03:05
|

How did you feel when the towers were falling down?
Did you see people run for their lives?
Was there a moment you sensed the world had changed?
Did a little piece inside of you die?
How does it feel to know they’re giving they’re lives away?
How does it feel to know they’ve chosen to fight?
In a world away so that we’ll be safe
And free to say whatever we like
Everybody’s free to be right
Freedom Ain’t Free
It’s all in your history
No, Freedom ain’t free
There’s a price, are you willing to pay?
So the next time you happen to criticize
What you don’t understand or believe
Just think about the ones who gave you that chance
And the sacrifices made to be free
It’s the red of the blood soaked battlefields
It’s the white of the Arlington stones
It’s the blue of the sky seen through a prisoner’s eyes
As he’s tortured he’s dying alone
It’s the tears you’ll never know
Freedom Ain’t Free
It’s all in your history
No, Freedom ain’t free
There’s a price, are you willing to pay?
If you believe in your principles, sometimes you have to go it alone
And if you’re founded in liberty, you’ll never have to be shown that…
Freedom ain’t free
It’s all in your history
No, Freedom ain’t free
Is the price what you’re willing to pay?
Freedom ain’t free
It’s all in your history
No, Freedom ain’t free
There’s a price, are you willing to pay?
Just what price are you willing to pay?

Change For Good
03:35
|
|||
I grew up so damn poor
But we didn’t know cause none of us had more
Now some of us have risen like cream to the top
But others have fallen down....for good
Lacking’s no excuse for not getting what you need
For your scars will protect you but first you have to bleed
Every mistake is another chance to learn
But failing to try is to fail...for good
We all go walking along our private beach
And find life’s little treasures half buried out of reach
Who of us will look around and use what we’ve learned
To give us everything we could want...for good
Listen up buster, and listen up good
Life’s what you make it and fair ain’t the word
Maybe the answer is you just have to work
To change all the things you don’t like for good
Change for good
Change for good
Change for good

Reinforcements
04:07

Did your Mom convince you as a child
That your worth was measured by her love?
Did she tell you you’re no good?
Blame you far more than should
For all the pain she brought into her life?
Do you live with secrets of the night?
Or are they covered just barely out of sight?
Did your Daddy have his way?
Now you live with his disgrace
Through behavior you’re afraid to understand.
Your pain is pleasure
It’s all the same
You reinforce the guilt
To reinforce the blame
How far will you go
To drown your tears
Before you realize
You can’t outrun your fears
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
CHORUS
It’s a true and heavy load you carry
Don’t you know it’s a burden you can share?
Let me take you by the hand
And I’ll help you understand
The comfort you’ve been seeking lies within.
Confront your fears and
Dry those tears my dear
For trouble will not follow
I’ll help you….
Confront your fears and
Dry those tears my dear
For trouble will not follow anymore….
No, trouble will not follow anymore
