THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS

(Written by Jeff & Steve Ridler)

Verse

WHEN WE DIDN’T WORK IN DALLAS

I HAD TO GET AWAY

I FOUND MYSELF IN DENVER LATE ONE NIGHT

WITH A BARMAN POURIN’ GOOD ONES

AND SITTING UP A MILE HIGH

IT WAS THE LOWEST THAT I’VE BEEN

IN MY LIFE

Verse

SO I FIGURED I KEEP MOVING

MAYBE DRIVE AROUND THE WORLD

WELL, I’D HAVE SOME TIME TO THINK

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

AND I STARED UP AT THE HEAVENS

LIKE I’D NEVER DONE BEFORE

I SAID LORD, I LOVE TO HAVE THAT ONE AGAIN

CHORUS

WELL, I DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M GOING

BUT HERE’S WHERE I’M COMING FROM

I JUST HOPE THAT YOU STILL THINK OF ME

AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION

IF YOU WONDER HOW I FEEL

THESE DAYS AND NIGHTS SEEM LIKE YEARS TO ME

Verse

ONCE IN EVERY LIFETIME

THE RIGHT ONE COMES ALONG

REMEMBER WHEN WE THOUGHT

THAT’S HOW IT’D BE

BEFORE LIFE WAS LIKE A SENTENCE

AND ONE THAT’S WAY TO LONG

AT LEAST IF THERE’S NO YOU IN IT FOR ME

CHORUS

BRIDGE

AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME

IS THAT THIS BIG OLD WORLD KEEPS TURNING ‘ROUND

CUZ, IF IT KEEPS ON TURNING

YOU COULD COME AROUND AGAIN

AND MAYBE IT WILL BRING YOU BACK TO ME

CHORUS

BRIDGE

CHORUS
