listen  "That's What Angels Do" by Lila McCann (Jason Sellers/Jon Mabe/Michael Dulaney)

1st Verse

He drove away
I couldn't move
First bitter taste (of) what love can do
Sat on my porch alone and cried
It hurt so bad I could'a died

Pre Chorus

Then momma came out
Wrapped her arms around me and told me,
'God has someone better for me'
Dried my tears
And she just held me

Chorus

That's what angels do
That's what love is for
Point you to a window
When you can't find a door
And you're all out of faith
(And) it's more than you can take
And you're not strong enough
You need someone to pull you through
That's what angels do
Oooh

2nd Verse

Big city streets
Bright city lights
Some days the dream's not worth the fight
Miss my hometown
Wide open space
A clear blue sky
A slower pace

Pre Chorus

Then my phone rings, and I hear his voice
Say, 'Baby girl, I'm proud of you'
You're not alone
He gives me hope
He lifts me up

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag Chorus

And you're all out of faith
And it's more than you can take
You're not strong enough
You need someone to pull you through
Yeah, that's what angels do
Yeah, that's what angels do
When there's no way on earth
And you can't make it work
That's what angels do



listen  "I'm Amazed" by Lila McCann featuring Jim Brickman (Victoria Shaw/David Grow)

1st Verse

Used to feel like rain fell down
Even in the sun
Every dream I ever had
Always came undone
So how is it possible
I'm in your arms tonight

Chorus

I'm amazed
How you found your way
To my heart
Drove through the dark
It's so strange how life changes
And suddenly
You're lovin' me
And I'm amazed
I'm amazed

2nd Verse

Feel so safe inside your kiss
Like I'm comin' home
I never could imagine this
When I was on my own
Now nothing's impossible
When I'm lookin' in your eyes

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

A fuller life for me
I can't believe
That after all this time
I'm smilin' again
And I don't know when
I've been more alive

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

Every dream I ever had
Always came undone



"Where It Used To Break" by Lila McCann (Dave Berg/Rivers Rutherford)

1st Verse

How it happened I haven't a clue
I just woke up one mornin' and was over you
No hallelujah chorus
Nothin' written in the stars
Just a peaceful feelin' settled on my heart

Chorus

Oh no, there ain't no easy way
No deed that you can do
No magic prayer that you can pray
Oh yeah, time is what it takes
To make a heart start bendin'
Where it used to break

2nd Verse

It was wishful thinkin' thinkin' I'd be alright
With a pep talk from my sister and a couple good cries
It only got better when I got it through my head
Ain't no gettin' around a heartache
(You) gotta roll with it instead

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Little by little
One tear at a time
I felt like I was dyin'
But I made it out alive

(Repeat Chorus)

Yeah, make a heart start bendin'
Where it used to break
Oh yeah



listen  "Whisper The Words" by Lila McCann (David Malloy/Bruce Roberts/Krystal Warren)

1st Verse

Yeah, yeah
I've told you how I feel
With only the truest words
All that I can, all that I am
Is waiting for you, ooh

2nd Verse

I wouldn't have gone this far
We wouldn't be right here
If I didn't know
Deep in your soul
You needed me, too, so won't you

Chorus

Whisper the words (whisper the words)
The words that my heart wants to hear
So that I know this is real
Tell me 'ya feel it
Make me believe it
You'll always be there
Whisper the words (whisper the words)
The ones you say only to me
That touches my soul tenderly
A foundation to build on
A love that is so strong
Baby, whisper, oh whisper, oh whisper the words (yeah)

3rd Verse

Just put your hand in mine
And baby, look deep in my eyes
And just with one breath
Your heart will confess
What we both know deep inside

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

But yet somehow, some way
This was meant to last forever, baby
Fate found a way of bringin' us together
If you'll just say, please say, please say

Tag Chorus

(Whisper the words) whisper the words
The ones you say only to me
That touches my soul tenderly
A foundation to build on
A love that is so strong (so strong)
Baby, whisper, oh whisper, oh whisper, oh whisper the words
Aay, oh
Whisper the words



"Like A Rocket" by Lila McCann (Julie Burton/Phil O'Donnell/Noah Gordon)

1st Verse

Used to be the fastest thing in this whole town
Was a red Corvette with the top rolled down
But next to you on Blackhawk Hill
Makes that look like it's standin' still
I never felt like this with no one else
Yeah, when we kiss I have to brace myself

Chorus

Like a rocket, this love
Is breathtakin', earth shakin', takin' off
I can't stop it, can't get enough
Every single time I look in your eyes
Baby, my heart ignites
Like a rocket

2nd Verse

Yeah, so much emotion might seem radical
Completely unpredictable
We're puttin' passion to the test
And that's the part I love the best
Even gravity can't hold us back
There's nothin' but the moon and stars in our path

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

The kinda love we got
Is bigger than the both of us
Hold on, baby...3, 2, 1

(Repeat Chorus)

Like a rocket



listen  "With You" by Lila McCann (Matt Hendrix/Robin Lee Bruce)

1st Verse

Last night I couldn't sleep
I found it hard to even breathe
Oh, I'm in trouble deep
With you

2nd Verse

Today I stayed in bed
Can't shake these voices in my head
I've fallen off the edge
With you

Pre Chorus

Well, all my friends say
That I'm way out of touch
If I'm not crazy, then (baby) (maybe)
(I'm crazy in love)
(This (must) (could) be love)

Chorus

(I would go anywhere)
I would go anywhere
Do anything
No, I don't care
Long as I know
I'll always go
With you (yeah)

3rd Verse

Now it's all making sense
Forever's in the present tense
I know it all begins
With you

4th Verse

Oh, and so this story goes
I am yours to have and hold
And I can't wait to grow old
With you, yeah

(Repeat Pre Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus)

"Go Girl" by Lila McCann (Mark Spiro/Don Schlitz)

1st Verse

You say it's been comin' on
That he's been out runnin' 'round
You say that when he does come home
He only puts you down
Well, you asked my opinion
What I think you should do
As far as I can see there's just one road left for you
Ah, don't give up 'cause it's hard to hear
You'll never know your strength until you face your fear

Chorus

And (So) you go girl, 'cause you know girl
Where he is ain't where you belong
If you stay, girl, you will pay, girl
He's only gonna do you wrong
You can try, girl, but you'll cry, girl
'Cause he ain't worth the holdin' on
So you go, girl, 'cause you're already gone

2nd Verse

You tell me that you're so afraid
To be out there on your own
To throw away the life you made
And face the world all alone
I've been in your shoes, and I've cried those tears
The best that you can do is walk away from here

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

But if he only makes you cry
What kinda life is that?
If he don't know the meaning of
To honor and respect

Mini-Chorus

Oh you can try, girl, but you'll cry, girl
'Cause he ain't worth the holdin' on
So you go, girl, 'cause you're already gone

Chorus Out Chant

If you stay you will pay, girl
Oh yes you will, yes you will
Yeah, out where you belong
You just go, girl, yeah
Don't stay, girl
He's only gonna do you wrong



"Hit By Love" by Lila McCann (Trey Bruce/Rebecca L. Howard)

1st Verse

We didn't know what hit us
We had to stop and catch a breath
Like a brick wall in a train tunnel
(It) scared us half to death
You'd of thought we could've seen it comin'
The way the two of us we're runnin'
But I guess that's the way it is
If you've never been

Chorus

Hit by love, struck by lightnin'
Bound forever, there's no denyin' that
All we want is everything that makes love like this come true
Oh, emotionally on our knees, it took a moment to believe
But there we were, the two of us, hit by love

2nd Verse

Lookin' back is easy
If you've got memories like ours
We crashed like two headlights
And we're still seein' stars
And I don't have to stop and wonder
Where we'll find that rollin' thunder
'Cause my heart knows you and me
Are always gonna be

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus)

There we were, the two of us, hit by love
Hit by love



"When You Walked Into My Life" by Lila McCann (Ty Lacy/Arnie Roman)

1st Verse

I've waited all this time
Counting minutes as they pass
Searchin' for a sign
Wishing for the best
And just when my hopes were wearin' thin
You turned my heart to love again

Chorus

Like a miracle out of the blue
You rescued me like the angels do
You shook the heavens and cracked the sky
When you walked
When you walked into my life

2nd Verse

When you appeared like sight to the blind
Like music to my ears
Like a reason to a rhyme
And just when I thought my chance was gone
Love came to me with open arms

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

You spoke my name, and the world began again
You touched my heart, and it opened

(Chorus Out)



listen  "I Wanna Fall In Love" by Lila McCann (Mark Spiro/Buddy Brock)

1st Verse

Look at me now
Won't you listen to my heart
Cryin' out loud
I've been standing in the dark

Pre Chorus

I want someone to show me the way
I'm lost on a lonely road
There must be a light at the end of the tunnel
Before I go out of control

Chorus

I wanna fall in love
I wanna feel that rush
Runnin' into my heart
Shakin' up my soul
Feelin' like I never felt before
I wanna fall in love
I wanna feel that touch
I've only dreamed about it
I been livin' without it
And that ain't good enough
I wanna fall in love

2nd Verse

Somewhere out there
Someone else is searchin' like me
And I know he must be hurtin'

Pre Chorus

Maybe tonight he's walkin' down
The same road I been takin'
And we'll meet up without even talkin'
And he'll know what I'm sayin'

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Maybe tonight he's walkin' down
The same road I been takin'
And we'll meet up without even talkin'
And he'll know what I'm sayin'

I wanna fall...

(Chorus Out)



listen  "Almost Over You" by Lila McCann (Cindy Richardson-Walker/Jennifer Kimball)

1st Verse

I saw an old friend of ours today
She asked about you, and I didn't quite know what to say
Heard you've been making the rounds 'round here
While I've been trying to make tears disappear

Chorus

Now I'm almost over you
I've almost shook these blues
(So) when you come back around
After paintin' the town, you'll see
I'm almost over you

2nd Verse

You're such a sly one with your cold, cold heart
For you leavin' came easy, but it tore me apart
Time heals all wounds, they say, and I should know
'Cause it seems like forever, but I'm letting you go

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

I can forgive you, and soon I'll forget all my shattered dreams
You took the love that you wanted and left me the misery

(Chorus Out)
