"I'm Listening" by Stephanie Bentley (Matraca Berg/Ronnie Samoset)1st Verse
So I will not hear you
I don't know why you even bother
Your every step, your every move
Echoes with the silent truth
That you have been with another
Keep talkin'
2nd Verse
I lie here quietly
And listen to you breathe
And I can tell you're not sleepin'
You haven't said a word
But don't you know I've heard
All the secrets you've been keepin'
1st Chorus
Yes, I'm listenin'
To every word your heart is sayin'
I'm listenin'
And every time I hear it breaking
Keep talkin'
You don't have to say a thing
I'm listening
3rd Verse
And when the mornin' comes
You hide your eyes from the sun
'Cause you know what they'll be sayin'
When you try to hide the truth
You know they tell on you
And it's a long conversation
2nd Chorus
And I'm listenin'
To every tear that you've been cryin'
I'm listenin'
Oh, they say that you've been lyin'
Keep talkin'
You don't have to say a thing
I'm listening
Tag
Keep talkin' babe
'Cause I'm listening
I'm listening
I'm listenin' yeah
I'm listenin' whoa
Whoa, oh oh
Whoa, oh oh
"Who's That Girl" by Stephanie Bentley (Stephanie Bentley/George Teren/Don Pfrimmer)
1st Verse
Who's that girl
I believe I've seen that face before
Who's that girl
I hardly recognize her anymore
I don't believe I've seen her lookin' better
Now she's back and got her life together
Chorus
She ain't draggin' 'round the same old heartache
She ain't lookin' through innocent eyes
And though it's clear in the mirror
It's hard to believe that it's really me
Who's that girl
(Who's that girl)
2nd Verse
Who's that guy
Never thought he'd show his face again
Same old lines
I think he thinks she's gonna let him in
I can't believe that girl finally did it
Slammed the door and told that fool
'Forget it'
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
I don't believe I've seen her lookin' better
That girl is back and got her act together
(Repeat Chorus)
Who's that girl
I said who's that girl
(Chorus Out)
"Half The Moon" by Stephanie Bentley (Hugh Prestwood)
1st Verse
And half the moon is pitch black
And I got half a chance that you might
Turn around and come back
And half my love is seein' the light
And half my love is still blind
And keeps on thinkin' tomorrow
You'll change your mind
2nd Verse
Half our hearts were doin' just fine
And half our hearts were in doubt
Half the time while walkin' the line
I ended up steppin' out
Half my prayers were prayin' to God
Half my prayers were to you
Tonight it looks like the answers are overdue
Bridge
And I am feeling just how hard
Half the moon can pull
I swear my heart might crack in two
If that moon were full
Tag
Half the moon is shinin' tonight
And half the moon's up and gone
You must have taken half of its light
To find the road that you're on
Half my love is seein' the truth
Half my love is still blind
And makes that missing half the moon
Hard to find, whoa...
It makes that missin' half the moon
Hard to find
"The Hopechest Song" by Stephanie Bentley (Angela Kaset)
1st Verse
Her mama bought her a hopechest
To keep her dreams inside
All the precious mem'ries
Little things she'd like to hide
A magic wand, an old rag doll
Some plastic pearls 'cause after all
Chorus
A little girl is only a little girl so long
And tender hearts need their stars to wish upon
'Cause one day you will turn around and she'll be gone
A little girl is only a little girl so long
2nd Verse
One day when she got home from school
She slipped a little note
Beneath the tattered lining
And here is what he wrote
'Roses are red, violets are blue'
'Put an X in the box if you like me, too'
(Repeat Chorus)
3rd Verse
They married in the garden on a perfect July day
In a horse and carriage they waved and rode away
Mama went inside to put away her wedding dress
And spotted a letter lying on the old hopechest
2nd Chorus
It said...
A little girl is only a little girl so long
Your lonely heart might need a star to wish upon
So look inside once in a while to bring the mem'ries home
A little girl is only a little girl
And I will always be your little girl...
So long
"Dead Ringer" by Stephanie Bentley (Todd Cerney/Stewart Harris)1st Verse
Sneakin' out of the back door way too soon
Not a clue about love under the moon
But she's seen all of those movies
And she's talked to all her friends
And there ain't no way she can wait
Chorus
She's too young, and her heart's on fire
And the lights are bright tonight
She's made up her mind that she's gonna find
Someone to hold her tight
She doesn't know how the game really goes
How her world can come apart
She's too young, and her heart's on fire
She's a dead ringer for a broken heart
2nd Verse
She's been hidin' that red dress far too long
Got her hair done and mama's makeup on
And she's practiced in the mirror
What she's seen in magazines
And she knows how that will drive them crazy
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
Simple curiosity can
Sometimes get you burned
What she thinks she knows by now
I guess she's gonna learn
(Repeat Chorus)
Tag
Yeah, she's a dead ringer
She's a dead ringer for a broken heart
Oh, she's a dead ringer for a broken heart
She's a dead ringer for a broken heart
"Heart Half Empty" by Stephanie Bentley (with Ty Herndon) (Gary Burr/Desmond Child)1st Verse
There's some leftover wine in the cupboard
'Bout a half a glass left for the road
Here's a toast to the time we were lovers
Then I'll go
Should I laugh or should I cry
Love you, hate you, live or die
Chorus
Is my heart half full or half empty
Is our love like the wine in this glass
You drink like there's no tomorrow
(And we were) so sure it (will) (would) always last
Will the mem'ries taste sweet as they linger
Or the bitterness stay on my tongue
Is my heart half full of the love you gave me
Or my heart half empty (half empty)
(Is my heart half empty (half empty))
'Cause your love is gone
2nd Verse
Your bags are all packed in the hallway
The boxes are stacked on the lawn
You kiss me goodbye just like always
And you're gone
Trembling hands or nerves of steel
Someone tell me what to feel
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
Should I laugh or should I cry
Love you, hate you, live or die
(Repeat Chorus)
