I cried a tear, you wiped it away I was confused, you cleared my mind I sold my soul, you bought it back for me And sustained me and gave me dignity Somehow, you needed me [Both] You gave me the strength to be alone again To face the world on my own again You placed me high up on a pedestal So high I could almost see eternity You needed me, you needed me [Bridge: Anne Murray, Shania Twain & Both] And I can't believe it's you, I can't believe it's true I needed you and you were there Mmm, and I will never leave, why should I leave? I would be a fool For I finally found someone who truly cares You held my hand when it was cold When I was lost, you brought me home You gave me hope when I was at the end And turned my lies back into truth You even called me a friend

I'll cross the sky of blue and gray
To roam across seas faraway
To the ocean of soaring dreams
Beyond the hills and endless streams
I'll go to land of milk and sweets
I'll ride with bird that roars when tweets
I'll meet the stars of tinsel town
I'll laugh with glitzy and her clown
I'll meet with Depp and Keanu Reeves
With tons of gladness on my sleeves
I'll sing the blues with sexy Swifty
I'll lure the eyes of gorgeous Alexy
I'll go to land of frosty rain
I'll charm the glance of Shania Twain
In land where hearts that long for cradle
Found solace in her sweet cuddle
I'll go to tower of soaring greatness
To meet his crown and charming mistress
In her heart that's full of brilliance
I'll cross the bridge that roused her radiance
I'll go to Oz, the land down under
To feel the shake of her thunder
I'll see the beauty of lovely Nicky
To her, I'll sing with her sweet Keithy
But my grandest dream of all
When I am through, in gust of fall
I'll lay still in paradise
To watch the sea birds on the rise

Shania was an oak leaf cat with ears to the sky.
She was a jokester with barely a snarl or try.
We met her on an autumn day, my buddy and me.
She was sitting on the edge of a huge oak tree.
Apple of my eye
Reason for my smile
Woman of my dream
My Shania Twain
I'm just an ordinary man
You are a shining star
But my love for you is real
My Shania Twain
I will always love you
Though I cannot be with you
I will caress you in my dream
My Shania Twain
Happy birthday, Sister Shania,
Study hard to gain more knowledge;
Let learning be your mind's mania,
Train in God's wisdom and message.

Shania my love, you gorgeous creature
Sure like to explore all your amazing features
It would blow my mind
Snuggling up, I'd go blind
I'd be your pupil and you'd be my teacher

My tribute to the gorgeous and talented Shania Twain!!!
“We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout”
And though we may dream of ‘Jackson’, the fire has yet to go out;
I smile as I idly think of you, tempting me still to this day,
And no matter how much time has passed, I know I’ll always say…
“Someone so perfect can’t be falling for me”
But your love is there, plain for me to see;
It never wanes from day to day,
You still show it blindly in your own way;
“I can still see love for me in your eyes”
Not a chance now for sad sobbing goodbyes;
We find in each other more than just lust,
It’s friendship and love based solely on trust;
Our love grows stronger with each passing year,
Through good times and bad, each smile and tear;
We sometimes reminisce about all the places that we’ve been,
You always seem to say “And I thought I loved you then”
*Johnny Cash (Jackson)
**Leann Rimes (Nothin' 'Bout Love Makes Sense)
***Shania Twain (Forever and For Always)
****Brad Paisley (Then)
Love is a river, love is a kiss,
Love shines forever, it is ageless,
Love is a Sun, on the Earth it is Shania!
