Used to be sunshine at the end of your smile/ Used to be perfect, at least for a while/ Used to be three words that I could just say/ To get you to come back, to get you to stay/ Used to be something that I could just take/ To keep me from thinking ’bout you every damn day // (CHORUS) Used to be whiskey to numb the pain/ Used to be music but it’s all in vain/ Used to be praying for strength from above/ Oh, it used to be you, used to be us, used to be love // Used to be heaven at the end of each day/ Used to be happy till you went away/ Used to be your lips that whispered sweet lies/ To tell me forever, then kiss me goodbye/ Used to believe you, I thought your words were true/ Yeah I gotta move on, but hell I don’t want to // (CHORUS) // I still smell your perfume on the pillow of my bed/ How do I get you out of my heart and of my head/ I still want what used to be – but you wanted him instead, yeah, yeah, yeah // (Guitar Solo) // (CHORUS 2X)

BUT I GOT YOU
Written by: Andrea Goss Knaub
Arranged by: Caleb Henry
Performed by: Caleb Henry (Vocals, Guitar)

I got trouble coming round my way/ I got raindrops falling every day/ I got feelings that I cannot say/ But I got you, yeah I got you // I got dreams that seem so far away/ I got work to do and bills to pay/ I got heartbreak scars from yesterday, but I got you, yeah I got you // (CHORUS) And when I think that I just can’t go on/ And time is stuck and nights are long/ And I can’t sing even one more song/ I smile, oh yes I do – ’cause I got you/ Yeah, it’s all right, I got you // Walking down the street I’m on my way/ To all the things I got to do today/ I don’t mind the clouds, the skies are blue/ Cause I got you, yeah I got you // (CHORUS // (Guitar solo) // I got trouble coming round my way/ I got raindrops falling every day/ But I got you, yeah I got you/ Oh, I got you, yeah I got you.

SHE CHOSE ME
Written by: Andrea Goss Knaub
Arranged by: Caleb Henry
Performed by: Hannah Gilkinson (Vocals) and Caleb Henry (Guitar)

She was gonna be a stewardess when she was just nineteen/ She packed her bags in her small town and flew off to her dream/ When the doctor said you’re pregnant but you can do other things/ She said no, took a train back home, and handed back her wings // (CHORUS) She chose fairy tales and teddy bears and singing lullabies/ She chose tangled hair and double dares and chasing fireflies/ Yeah she wiped the tears and stardust from her pretty big blue eyes/ She chose love, and family – she chose me // Well she want to sing in Nashville once to be a country star/ She recorded her songs, they sang along, and said she could go far/ But Daddy, he didn’t understand, and they could not agree/ So he said go, but leave behind your home, the kids, and me // (CHORUS) She chose soccer games and PTA, a nine to five career/ She chose busy days and disarray, and ordinary years/ Yeah she wiped the tears and stardust from her pretty big blue eyes/ she chose love, and family – she chose me // (Guitar solo) // Sometimes I’d see her playing her old beat-up guitar/ Singing like an angel and staring at the stars/ Well I don’t know what might have been, or what was meant to be/ But I thank God for Mama’s love and that she chose me/ Yeah, I thank God for Mama’s love, and that she chose me.
