Lyrics
LITTLE WHITE CROSSES (for you and me)
(Verse 1)
Through the raindrops on my windshield,
I stare at the road ahead.
Not thinking where Im going,
Im thinking of you instead.
I think about your warm smile,
and the depth of your loving eyes.
A bump in the road brings me back.
I begin to cry.
(Lift)
Looking for answers,
No one seems to know.
I want to escape,
But theres no where to go.
(Chorus)
Little white crosses placed on the side
of the road for all to see.
This little white cross is for you and me.
(Verse 2)
Through the teardrops welling in my eyes,
I search for the place ahead.
That lonely place where I lost you.
You should be here instead.
I long for the touch of your calming hand.
I remember and begin to cry.
You're not here. Please someone tell me why.
(Lift)
Searching for answers,
No one seems to know.
I want to escape,
But theres no where to go.
(Chorus)
Little white crosses placed on the side
of the road for all to see.
This little white cross is for you and me.
(Bridge)
Lifes like a room with an open door.
I should of showed my love for you
so much more.
(Chorus)
Little white crosses placed on the side
of the road for all to see.
This little white cross is for you and me.
(Tag)
This little white cross is just for you and me.
Little white crosses for you and me.

THE TROUBLE WITH ME IS YOU
(Verse)
Fully dressed and wrinkled in my arm chair.
Im drinking whiskey, watching late TV
My head pounds out the rhythm to a sad song.
My heart jumps in with hurting harmony.
(Lift)
Im dirty, lazy, burnt out, and half crazy.
Im not half the man I once knew.
Still I feel a little better knowing
the trouble with me is you.
(Chorus)
The trouble with me is you.
Sure I know Im not the man you and I once knew.
But you are the reason why I act the way I do.
I can blame it all on me. But it wont change the truth.
The trouble with me is you.
(Verse)
Feeling single, drinking double whiskey.
For a little while I dont hurt inside.
But soon my heart begins to sing that sad song.
I pour another drink, and I dont have to cry.
(Lift)
I recall the feelings that I once had.
such joy in everyday I never knew.
But breaking up has broken me in pieces.
The trouble with me is you.
(Chorus)
The trouble with me is you.
Sure I know Im not the man you and I once knew.
But you are the reason why I act the way I do.
I can blame it all on me. But it wont change the truth.
The trouble with me is you.
(Chorus)
Its not hard to see my friend, Im still in love with you.
Breaking up is something that you felt we should do.
And though you say youre feeling fine, Im still bleeding blue.
The trouble with me is you.
(Chorus)
Dont misunderstand my friend its not too hard to see
youre not doing half as well as when you were with me.
And though you say youre doing fine, youre single but not free.
The trouble with you is me.
(Tag)
Yeah, the trouble with me is you.

SING THIS TUNE
(Verse)
I know that youre feeling low.
I know that you want to go
Back to bed and slip the day.
But theres a better way.
(Verse)
When everything you do is wrong,
When the odds at best are long,
You can go back to bed
Or sing this song instead.
(Chorus)
I know its raining
And darker skies seem on the way.
But sing this tune
And you will turn the gloom
Into a bright sunny day.
(Verse)
Though youre down and feeling low.
There is someone that you know
Who would gladly trade with you
For what theyre going through.
(Verse)
Things will get much worse one day.
So why fret good days away?
Just change the pictures that you see
And set yourself free.
(Chorus)
I know its raining
And darker skies seem on the way.
But sing this tune
And you will turn the gloom
Into a bright sunny day.
(Bridge)
Put all the bad and the sad in the past
and the weather will break at last.
(Chorus)
Its raining
And darker skies seem on the way.
But sing this tune
And you will turn the gloom
Into a bright sunny day.
(Tag)
Sing this tune
And you will turn the gloom
Into a bright sunny day.
Just sing this tune
And you will turn the gloom
Into a bright sunny day.

WHAT WILL THEY SAY WHEN I'M GONE
(Verse)
People singing. Church bells ringing.
It's another sad day afternoon.
Dressed in black. Standing in the back.
My friends are dying way too soon.
(Lift)
I have never been reflective.
But something has come over me.
I'm not one to think about the future
But one question just wont let me be.
(Chorus)
What will they say when I'm gone?
Sure they'll sing. But what song?
Is the world a better place with me here or with me moving on?
What will they say when I'm gone?
(Verse)
Like graduation, touched by revelation.
Ill never be again like I used to be.
I move a little closer to tell my friend goodbye.
I can't believe. Its me.
(Lift)
Now I know why now I see so clearly.
It's too late to change my ways.
But it's never too late til it's over.
So ask yourself this question everyday.
(Chorus)
What will they say when I'm gone?
Sure they'll sing. But what song?
Is the world a better place with me here or with me moving on?
What will they say when I'm gone?
(Tag)
What will they say when youre gone?
