Songs that describes the couples of Knots Landing

Gary and Val

OPEN ARMS
(Journey)

Lying beside you, here in the dark, feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere, how could our love be so blind
We sailed on together, we drifted apart, and here you are by my side

Chorus:
So now I come to you with open arms, nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms, hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, living alone, this empty house seems to cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near, how much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back, turned night into day, I need you to stay

Chorus

Karin Schill made a Gary and Val music video to this song.

Gary and Val- Breathe again by Toni Braxton








If I never feel you in my arms again,
if I never feel your tender kiss again,
if I never hear "I love you" now and then,
will I never make love to you once again?
Please understand, if love ends,
then I promise you, I promise you that,
that I shall never breathe again.
Breathe again, breathe again,
that I shall never breathe again.

And I can't stop thinking about,
about the way things used to be,
and I can't stop thinking about,
about the love that you made to me.
And I can't get you out of my head;
how in the world will I begin
to let you walk right out of my life
and throw my heart away?
And I can't stop caring about,
about the apple of my eye,
and I can't stop doing without,
without the center of my life.
And I can't get you out of my head,
and I know I can't pretend
that I won't die if you decide
you won't see me again.

If I never feel you in my arms again,
if I never feel your tender kiss again,
if I never hear "I love you" now and then,
will I never make love to you once again?
Please understand, if love ends,
then I promise you, I promise you that,
that I shall never breathe again.
Breathe again, breathe again,
that I shall never breathe again.

And I can't stop thinking about,
about the way my life would be.
No, I can't stop thinking about,
how could you love me then leave?
And I can't get you out of my mind,
God knows how hard I've tried,
and if you walk right out my life,
God knows I'm sure to die.
And I can't stop doing without,
without the rhythm of my heart.
No, I can't stop doing without,
for I will surely fall apart.
And I can't get you out of my mind,
and I know I can't deny,
and I would die if you decide
you won't see me again.

(Chorus one more time)

Alone- by heart for Gary and Val there is a Youtube video dedicated to this couple

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

You don't know how long I have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone
Alone

YOU'RE STILL THE ONE (Shania Twain)

When I first saw you, I saw love.
And the first time you touched me,
I felt love.
And after all this time, you're still the one I love.

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

Ain't nothin' better
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby

Rascal Flatts lyrics - This Everyday Love
album: Rascal Flatts (2000)
album: Live (2003)

Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love

Each morning the sun shines through my window
Lands on the face of a dream come true
I shuffle to the kitchen for my coffee
And catch up on the front page morning news
Then she walks up behind me and throws her arms around my neck
Just another normal thing I've come to expect

Chorus:
It's ordinary, plain, and simple
Typical, this everyday love
Same ol', same ol' keeping it new
(Same ol'/This everyday love)
Emotional, so familiar
Nothing about it too peculiar
Oh, but I can't get enough of this everyday love

Every afternoon I make a phone call
Listen to the voice that warms my heart
I drag myself through a few more hours
Then head on home to try and beat the dark
Her smile will be right there when I step through that door
And it will be that way tomorrow, just like everyday before

REPEAT CHORUS

Wouldn't change one single thing about it
No, it's run-of-the-mill, still I can't live without it

REPEAT CHORUS

Yeah, of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough

Carry On
Nick Lachey -
album: SoulO (2003)

Hopeless, wonderin' if anybody noticed
Feelin' like you're driftin' out of focus
Cause you're hopeless
You're just a heartless soul

Cryin', feelin' like a part of you is dyin'
Reachin' for the strength to keep on tryin'
Still you're cryin'
You're livin' in the cold

And say goodbye to the people you don't need in your life
Say goodbye to the heartache and darkness of the night
Say hello to the risin' of the sun
There will always be a brighter day
We've got to carry on

Fire, burnin' with the passion it desired
Suddenly your hands are reachin' higher, you're on fire
Your love has made you whole

Say goodbye to the people poisonin' your life
Say goodbye to the heartache and trouble and strives
Say hello to the love that's just begun
There will always be a brighter day
We've got to carry on

And no man is an island you can't go on alone
When your heart starts breakin', you need to come back home
We were lookin' for somethin'
The search will go on and on and on and on and on

Hopeless, wonderin' if anybody noticed
Feelin' like you're driftin' out of focus
Cause you're hopeless
You're just a heartless soul

And say goodbye to the people you don't need in your life
Say goodbye to the heartache and darkness of the night
Say hello to the risin' of the sun
There will always be a brighter day
You got to carry on

Now I said
Say goodbye to the people poisonin' your life
Say goodbye to the heartache and trouble and strives
Say hello to the love that's just begun
There will always be a brighter day
You got to carry on

Oh, yeah you got to carry on

Sarah McLachlan lyrics - Plenty
album: Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (1993)
album: The Freedom Sessions (1994)

I looked into your eyes
they told me plenty
I already knew
you never felt a thing
so soon forgotten all that you do
in more than words I
tried to tell you
the more I tried I failed

I would not let myself believe
that you might stray
and I would stand by you
no matter what they'd say, I would have thought I'd be with you
until my dying day
until my dying day

I used to think my life
was often empty
a lonely space to fill
you hurt me more than
I ever would have imagined
you made my world stand still
and in that stillness
there was a freedom
I never felt before

I would not let myself believe
that you might stray
and I would stand by you
no matter what they'd say, I would have thought I'd be with you
until my dying day
until my dying day

Fear
Sarah McLachlan
album: Mirrorball (1999)
album: Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (1993)
album: Mirrorball (Limited Edition) (1999)
genre:
Send "Fear" Ringtone to Cell
Morning smiles
like the face of a newborn child
innocent unknowing
Winter's end
promises of a long lost friend
speaks to me of comfort

but I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
here in this lonely place
tangled up in our embrace
there's nothing I'd like
better than to fall
but I fear I have nothing to give

Wind in time
rapes the flower trembling on the vine
nothing yields to shelter it
from above
they say temptation will destroy our love
I'll never let that happen

but I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
here in this lonely place
tangled up in our embrace
there's nothing I'd like
better than to fall
but I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
I have nothing to give
We have so much to lose...

"Bless The Broken Road"

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

[Chorus]

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

Every night in my dreams
I see you, i feel you,

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone

Love was when i loved you
One true time i hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing i fear,
And i know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Send "My Heart Will Go On" Ringtone to Cell

Gary to Val- Clint Black's that something in my life


The older you get the more you stand to lose
You can bet that we'll all have our turn
If I lost everything right down to my shoes
As long as you love me I won't be concerned

There's one thing in life that I can't replace
It's written in ways even time can't erase
Some things really are too good to be true
That something in my life is you

Now I've spent my time on money and things
That won't do a heart any good
With nothing to gain but the space that it brings
Which had always been empty till I understood

There's one thing in life that I can't replace
It's written in ways even time can't erase
Some things really are too good to be true
That something in my life is you

One thing's for certain and without a doubt
Your love is something I can't live without

Some things really are too good to be true
That something in my life one thing in my life
That something in my life is you

Everyday
Rascal Flatts lyrics
album: Still Feels Good (2007)

You could have bowed out gracefully
But you didn't
You knew enough to know to leave well enough alone
But you wouldn't
I drive myself crazy trying to stay out of my own way
The messes that I make but my secrets are so safe
The only one who gets me yeah you get me
It's amazing to me how

Everyday
Everyday
Everyday you save my life

I come around all broken down and crowded out
And your comfort
Sometimes the place I go is so deep and dark and desperate
I don't know I don't know how

Everyday
Everyday
Everyday you save my life

Sometimes I swear I don't know if I'm coming or going
But you always say something without even knowing
That I'm hanging on to your words with all of my might
And it's alright, yeah I'm alright for one more night

Everyday

Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday you save me
You save me

Everyday you save my life

Stupid Boy
Keith Urban
album: Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing (2006)
album: Greatest Hits
genre:
Send "Stupid Boy" Ringtone to Cell
(Sarah Buxton - Deanna Bryant - Dave Berg)

Well, she was precious like a flower
She grew wild, wild, but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different,
Stupid boy
You can't fence that in
Stupid boy
It's like holdin' back the wind.

Chorus:
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears
Is telling her she can't, stupid boy,
Stupid boy.

So, what made you think you could take a life
And just push it, push it around
I guess to build yourself up so high
You had to take her, and break her, down.


Chorus:
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears
Is telling her she can't, you stupid boy

Oh, You always had to be right
And now you lost the only thing
That ever made you feel alive.

--- Instrumental ---

Chorus:
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands,yeah
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans,yes you did,
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears
Is telling her she can't,you stupid boy

Oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy
It took a while for her to figure out she could run
But when she did, she was, long gone, long gone...

Oh, she was gone,
She was long gone,
Oh, yeah she is

--- Instrumental ---

Nobody's ever gonna love me like she loved me
She loved me, she loved me
God please, just let her know
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry baby,
Yeah, I'm down on my knees
She's never coming back to me



This song reminds me of Gary when he cheated on Valene with Abby.
