Consider the life of a well-found friend There was no end to his scheming And memories of the tender heart That questioned our worth and our meaning Did they really understand this beautiful life…this man Visionary…sometimes scary I could see his passion in his plan CHORUS No foolishness will keep him down His dreams will always be around A million tons of dirt can’t Keep him in the ground Ryan’s just dyin’ to be found We will not fail though now’s the time When failure finds its place Wishes and dreams though once esteemed Have sadly lost the race Can you come and touch his hand, this quiet dreamer…this man Washed away, like hours of sleep Or drunken stupor shallow and deep CHORUS (2x) Ryan’s just dyin’ to be found

If only there was time to say I love you If only there was time to show I care But now is not the time for if only’s ‘Cause nothing I can say will bring you here If only I had told you my true feelings If only I had opened up my heart Emotions are now bouncin’ off the ceiling If only is too late ‘cause we’re apart CHORUS Shoulda done the dishes, woulda washed your car Coulda been more friendly to your mom Shoulda done more would of’s, woulda done more could of’s Coulda done more should of’s, I was wrong…if only If only there’s a way to tell the future If only there’s a way to change the past If only I had learned my lesson sooner Forever is how long that we would last CHORUS (2x) If only…. If only….

Lovely Linda took to the bottle each night Lovely Linda thing of beauty though not right How she took to drinkin’, the bottle an evil friend Gave her everything, didn’t understand We were such good lovers, so close But her drinkin’ would never end Took her dancin’ movies and concerts too Nights romancin’ under the silvery moon Even got engaged, made her wedding dress Bought us a country house, loved to impress Couldn’t wait to get married Leave the bottle and the drinkin’ to the past Lovely Linda died last Spring Lovely Linda took my heart and everything Though she was a fighter she couldn’t let go Of the bottle which took her soul Now she leaves me with nothin’ Nothin’ all alone….. Growing old, growin’ old, growin’ old…. Lovely Linda

Meaningless things I see are beginning to haunt me Words that I hear I fear continue to taunt me Buried in lies my worthiness dies Truth still tries to survive Tried to connect to tell you how much I have changed Still you reject forgiveness is out of your range What more can I say no reason to stay My words cannot sway you away You don’t listen you don’t hear Things are not what they appear You don’t bother asking questions to find out You assume that you are right Do you live just for the fight All I want is that you ask before you shout Time after time after time I’ve tried to ignore you Mind is so blind and entwined with how much I adore you Letting go…let it go Yea, it’s the hardest thing you know Unwise not to break the ties You don’t listen you don’t hear Things are not what they appear You don’t bother asking questions to find out You assume that you are right Do you live just for the fight All I want is that you ask before you shout

I woke today Felt your side of the bed The covers were still warm where you were layin’ But you were gone My heart was filled with dread You may not be sleeping here again CHORUS But it’s all right because I love you That’s not gonna change Runnin’ around make me hurt again and again But I’ll still sing you love songs With the letters of your name I brave the storm that comes Oh it surely looks like rain I only want to hold you But I don’t wanna tie you down Or fence you in the lines I might have drawn It’s just that I I’ve gotten used to having you around My landscape would be empty if you were gone CHORUS I brave the storm that comes Oh it surely looks like rain Yea it looks like rain Feels like rain

Smith! Hey Justin time Tell us about your friend SAC (I think ol’ Hoffman got a kick abusing boys) Are you still sore from getting paddle-whacked You were real strange I still can’t figure out how (Yogi Kudu could have taken lessons from you) You put your leg behind your back You stole my trick When running all those races (We psyched the other runners out from finishing) We popped our hips so they clicked out of joint Do you recall That time in English class (We used to pass our answers behind Mullen’s back) Always the clown we used to pass CHORUS Whatever happened to Justin Smith You disappeared from the face of the earth What were you trying to prove by fading away Whatever happened to Justin Smith No time can replace the memories we shared Whatever happened to Justin Smith Then came the day When we all broke our ties from (We broke our ties from prison camp to face the world) To face the world – thank God the day had come I didn’t think The armed forces were your type (Maybe a checker, painter or a CPA) You chose your path your destiny You were stationed In places like Hawaii (The boys you couldn’t tell the girls from transvestites) Don’t think I’d like to find a girlfriend there Always the clown Your letters to Melissa (How could you disappear without leaving a trace) The only link the only voice CHORUS (2x) Whatever happened to Justin Smith A mystery remains won’t you answer this call Reflections of you old photos cannot replace Whatever happened to Justin Smith Just like the wind you disappeared Whatever happened to Justin Smith Whatever happened to Justin Smith All we are is Justin the wind

Somewhere beneath the thinnest line of our love Transparency reveals the slightest hole Naked to your heart Torn and broken left wide open You replaced the part Stay here with me and let us fill the day My love you see has found a place to stay My love’s not a trend Drug your demons hell can keep them What did you intend CHORUS What lies beneath what lies between Is a love so strong so pure so clean The softness of your touch of your caress Between us there is only gentleness Someone once told me that I’d find the one That magic day when you outshined the sun You regarded me So enraptured dreams are captured Never set them free CHORUS (2x)

He came into town ridin’ high on ambition A fearless young man with his pen at his side He looked like some hero from a John Wayne movie Carryin’ a book full of songs and a heart full of pride He rode into Nashville to reap his harvest After years of rejection packed his bags and was gone Headed out to L.A. on a hope and a prayer That his pen and his songbook would be enough to live on CHORUS Old man your heart is still burnin’ Holding on to the dream that’s still yearnin’ Old man don’t let your pride get in the way ‘Cause it’s time to let go the dream’s fadin’ away He spent all his life tryin’ to live off his music He never got married didn’t have many friends So this lonely old man hangin’ onto ambition Hugs his songbook and pen to the bitter end CHORUS ‘Cause it’s time to let go

Like a sunrise or the ocean’s tide I see your image and I’m filled with pride When you smile then I know In the springtime the wind blows Softly, softly… In the springtime the wind blows Ooooh…ooooh… In the springtime the wind blows Whether lovers or just friends Feel that warm wind blowing again Softly, softly… In the springtime the wind blows Softly, softly… In the springtime the wind blows Softly, softly, soflty
