| Leave My Like Alone | Pat Pattison and Greg Barnhill | Leave My Like Alone
Like clouds that lace the open sky high above Nevada
Like dust behind the horses on the dry plains of Montana Like thunder in the summer in the hills outside Atlanta The pictures that I like come rolling by But like, I don't like like when it's like used like it's like nothing Like I don't like like when it's like used instead of said, Like, "she's like, no way," "he's like OK," Man like that's so like not my tone Now won't you just LEAVE MY LIKE ALONE Yeah LEAVE MY LIKE ALONE I like the smell at evening when the dew is on the grasses I like the songs of ice cream trucks weaving past like laughter And little children clutching quarters, like the memories they gather I like to go there every time I close my eyes So like, I don't like like when it's like used like it's like nothing Like I don't like like when it's like used instead of said, Like, "she's like, no way," "he's like OK," Man like that's so like not my tone Now won't you just LEAVE MY LIKE ALONE Like somewhere in the valley girls abandon their vocabularies Total conversations made of only so and like And it's so hard to distinguish When you murder the king's English So like I sang this little song, I thought I'd try because You see, I don't like like when it's like used like it's like nothing Like I don't like like when it's like used instead of said, Like, "she's like, no way," "he's like OK," Man like that's so like not my tone Now won't you just LEAVE MY LIKE ALONE Please just LEAVE MY LIKE ALONE |

| Time to Let Go | Pat Pattison and Scarlett Keys | Time to Let Go
Children
You have them and hold them for a little while Help them to walk, follow behind Till they're riding a bike Then watch as they wobble away Teach them to drive, they get further each day Until you know it's Time to Let Go You know you can't hold on To an angel that's ready to fly Destined to soar That's what wings are for No more tears, it's here and you know it's Time to Let Go Parents They love you, protect you the best they can Sing you to sleep, help you to stand Until you run like you can And think about running away You've got your own plans, and though you wish you could stay You know it's Time to Let Go You know you can't hold on To an angel that's ready to fly Destined to soar That's what wings are for No more tears, it's here and you know it's Time to Let Go Now the circle turns again And I'm your grown up child You're grown so frail, but as you fail I see how strong you are I'll help you and hold you, Though all that's to come And I'll stay here beside you Until this journey's done, and you say, it's Time to Let Go You know you can't hold on To an angel that's ready to fly Destined to soar That's what wings are for No more tears, it's here and you know it's Time to Let Go |

| Just Enough | Pat Pattison and James Slater | Just Enough
I wish you just enough sun to light the path that lies before you,
Just enough rain to make your garden thrive Just enough wind to let you sail forever forward Just enough calm to let you rest awhile. I wish you just enough gain to satisfy your longing Just enough loss to know what you have gained Just enough friends to let you know you're wanted Just enough loneliness to make a friend of pain. I wish you love to fill your heart with gladness Just enough to let all your dreams take wing Love to temper all the sadness life can bring Oh.....Just Enough I wish you just enough courage to let the truth you see direct you Just enough fear to understand the cost Just enough wisdom to surrender to the moment Just enough time to shine...before the light is lost. I wish you love to fill your heart with gladness Just enough to let all your dreams take wing Love to temper all the madness life can bring Oh....Just Enough There's no way to show you all the ports where you will harbor No way to help you brave the storms that you must face I will take you just as far as I can take you Until you find your way.... I wish you love to fill your heart with gladness Just enough to let all your dreams take wing Love to temper all the madness life can bring Oh...Just enough - just enough sun to light the path that lies before you Just enough - Just enough rain to make your garden thrive Just enough - just enough wind to let you sail forever forward Just Enough Just enough - just enough courage to let the truth you see direct you. Just enough - just enough fear to understand the cost Just enough - wisdom to surrender to the moment Just Enough...... |

| Years Gone By | Pat Pattison and Jon Vezner | Years Gone By
It was almost seven years since he last spoke to his father
Though at least 100 times he must have dialed that number A scene that he repeated, a call gone incompleted Once again It was a perfect day in April when his mother left the message Your dad might like to see you, that was all she said and He was on the road by evening, praying he would be there For the end And the years gone by Didn't seem to matter And the reasons why Ran away like water Through the years gone by Years gone by When he walked in to the room to find his father sleeping As his mother rose to meet him from the vigil she'd been keeping Said it probably won't be long now, but he's been holding on now Till you come As he bent beside his father and felt his shallow breathing He took the calloused hands that so long ago'd released him And those blue eyes fluttered open, and the silence came unbroken All at once The years gone by Didn't seem to matter And the reasons why Ran away like water Through the years gone by Years gone by Time. Time enough to feel Time enough to heal what they had lost Though not a word was spoken In the space of just a moment The years gone by Didn't seem to matter And the reasons why Ran away like water Through the years gone by Years gone by Didn't seem to matter And the tears uncried Ran away like water Through the years gone by Years gone by |

| All I See is You | Pat Pattison and Sally Barris | All I See is You
Southern stars at night
Stretch across the skies In diamond points of light They blossom like sweet magnolias Beauty so rare But I don't care ALL I SEE IS YOU Lips I once kissed Sweet as evening mist Why would I resist Moments of purest pleasure Those memories fade And drift away ALL I SEE IS YOU It's you and I alone You're all I ever want, all I want to know Look beyond the stars Jupiter and Mars Fold them in your arms Tell me you'll stay forever Make it come true Say it too ALL I SEE IS YOU ALL I SEE IS YOU |
