I know we're both married
Yet we're both alone
He's always working
And she's never home.
If we got together
It would be so good
But under these conditions
I don't think we should.
'Cause we both have children
And they need us around
Although we're both willing
We can't let 'em down.
As much as we want to
You know where we stand
Under these conditions
I don't think we can.
We love each other
But it's only in dreams
But we have to get used to the fact
It's just one of those things.
We'll never know how
This love could feel
And under these conditions
We never will.
Under these conditions
(Vince Gill / Reed Nielson)
Why don't you come clean, baby
I know what you're goin' through
You must think I'm some kind of crazy
Well, honey I'm just worried 'bout you
You look so much like your mama
And I'm sorry for you that she's gone
And if she was here she sould tell ya
Don't lose sight of what's right or what's wrong
Chorus:
'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, teh talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town
Well, I hope your conscience is listening
When you're out runnin' at night
All it takes is one bad decision
To haunt you the rest of your life
Chorus x 2
Everyt ime I look into the mirror
I swear that I don't see the things you do
You say it couldn't be any clearer
And all I can see is me without you
Chorus:
Without you trying to change me
With you trying to take me
And turn me into someone you once knew
Without you trying to make me
Without you trying to break me
All I can see is me without you
When you slipped that little ring around my finger
you smiled and said your wilder days are through
Well, I've got a real bad case of rambling fever
And all I can see is me without you
Chorus x 2
All I can see is me without you
CHORUS:
When I look into your heart
I see us holding each other
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart
I've seen the moon dance on the waters
Watched the morning sun slip through the trees
But the sight of you is the vision
That takes me to my knees
REPEAT CHORUS
I've never known such comfort
I've never felt such release
I've never felt so connected
I've never know such peace
REPEAT CHORUS
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart
A little girl was cryin'
for her mama and her daddy
She couldn't understand why they were gone
She never knew the danger
Of talking to a stranger
Now the girl can't find her way back home
A little boy went walkin'
Down to the corner market
To buy a loaf of bread and an ince cream cone
He never knew the dnager
Of talkin' to a stranger
Now the boy can't find the way back home
Chorus:
Too many kids are missin'
Is anybody listening?
Won't you be the children's eyes
They're all alone
The hardest part's not knowing
Where they are or where they're going
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
The faces on milk cartons
Thrown away and soon forgotten
What if one of those sweet kids
Was your very own
Tonight those kids are weeping
While yours are safely sleeping
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
Chorus
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
What child is this
that lay to rest
on Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom Angels greet with anthem sweet
and shepard's watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepards guard
and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him love
The babe, the son of Mary
So bring him incence, gold and merth
Come peasants king to honor him
The King of Kings salvation brings
and loving arms enthrone him
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepards guard
and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him love
The babe, the son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepards guard
and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him love
Chorus:
You better turn me loose
Turn me loose you know that I can't stay
You better turn me loose
Well turn me loose you know I'll make it anyway
Well why don't you tell me
Just what's goin' on
Both of us lyin' here
And we both know it's wrong
So why don't you let me
Why don't you leave it alone
And don't keep hangin' on to a love that's dead and gone
Chorus
Well you can't see it's over
That's really a shame
Well our love didn't make it
No one's to blame
So why don't we say goodbye
Why don't we just say we're through
And I'll be on my way
And I'll get by without you
Chorus X 2
Turn me loose you know I'll make it anyway
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
If you're not sure he holds your heart
Don't let pride keep us apart
You need true love
Chorus:
True love is all I'm after
I long to hear your laughter
The only thing that matters
Is it's true love
It's true love
I hear your voice in every sound
You're never there when I turn around
I need true love
I can't quit and I won't give in
Until you're back in my arms again
We need true love
Chorus
When I look at you You look right through me
I wish you knew
What your love's done to me
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
Yeah...
Chorus
It's true love (repeat to fade)
(Vince Gill / Pete Wasner)
Baby, let's just say farewell
Baby, let's just both give in
No, it's not too hard to tell
The walls are closin' in
Oh, it's time to say goodbye
And put this in the past
Even though I know we tried
To save the best for last
Chorus:
I guess nothin' stays the same
Still the memories remain
We need all the sweet forgiveness we can find
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again
I don't know what's left to say
I don't know where we went wrong
When I watch you walk away
I'll miss you when you're gone
Baby, shed a tear for me
And I'll she da tear for you
Oh, let's set this heartache free
And in time we'll make it through, well
Chorus
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again
Well, it ain't hard to see you've got the blues
Come hold on to me, and I'll comfort you
A pretty little angel with a heavy heart
Well, tryin' to carry on is the hardest part
Chorus:
Love will fool ya, it'll do you wrong
Shout hallelujah when the clouds are gone
'Cause you know pretty baby, the sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
I miss that little sparkle on your face
That pretty little smile that has been replaced
Have a little faith, baby just be still
'Cause things are gonna be just the way they will
Chorus:
Love will fool ya, it'll do you wrong
Shout hallelujah when the clouds are gone
'Cause you know pretty baby, when you ain't lookin'
The sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
Chorus:
Love will fool ya, it'll do you wrong
Shout hallelujah when the clouds are gone
'Cause you know pretty baby, when you ain't lookin'
And you ain't ready, the sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
If you're not sure he holds your heart
Don't let pride keep us apart
You need true love
Chorus:
True love is all I'm after
I long to hear your laughter
The only thing that matters
Is it's true love
It's true love
I hear your voice in every sound
You're never there when I turn around
I need true love
I can't quit and I won't give in
Until you're back in my arms again
We need true love
Chorus
When I look at you You look right through me
I wish you knew
What your love's done to me
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
Yeah...
Chorus
It's true love (repeat to fade)
That friend of mine wears an old work shirt
For a long long time she has blessed this earth
And a smile that shines even when she hurts
Oh how I love that friend of mine
That friend of mine gave her heart to me
How sweet and kind, oh the truth can be
And God's tie that binds us as family
Oh how I love that friend of mine
She's an angel, she's the answer
The sweetest piece of heaven in my eyes
And she's drawn to me like gravity
I'd lay down and die for that friend of mine
She's an angel, she's the answer
The sweetest piece of heaven in my eyes
She's drawn to me like gravity
I'd lay down and die for that friend of mine
I'd lay down and die for that friend of mine
That friend of mine wears an old work shirt
Tell me lover, tell me what you're gonna do
You gonna walk the walk or just talk the talk
Honey, what's up with you
Chorus:
Tell me lover, tell me how it's gonna be
You gonna mess around or just turn me down
Honey, won't you please tell me
Your good intentions ain't too good no more
You answer questions by slammin' that bedroom door
Come on baby let's turn the lamp down low
I'll solve your problems so honey please don't go
If the silence could kiill, honey we'd both be dead
It ain't hard to tell we're hangin' on by a thread
Say somethin' darlin' say what's on your mind We'll find the answer, I got nothin' but time
I can read the writing on the wall
You pretend that nothing's changed at all
I've got just one thing to ask you if it's so
Just take your memory with you when you go
So I won't have to think about
The lonely nights I'll be without
Someone to hold me when the cold wind blows
Take your memory with you when you go
I walk the floor and wonder what went wrong
I'll have to find a way to carry on
Why don't you leave before the heartache starts to show
Take your memory with you when you go
So I won't have to think about
The lonely nights I'll be without
Someone to hold me when the cold wind blows
Take your memory with you
So I won't have to miss you
Take your memory with you when you go
Looking back over the years
Of all the things I've always meant to say
But the words didn't come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all the nights I tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering
You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
Chorus:
Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart won't lieLong after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me
You try to love your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
Repeat Chorus
I walk down these lonely streets and try to find you
In all the same old places we used to go
And the old friends that I meet still ask about you
They tell me if I see you say hello
Say hello to the arms that used to hold me
Hold me close when those chilly winds would blow
Say hello to the lips that used to kiss me
And whisper in my ear I love you so
I remember the night when I first met you
I knew that I could never let you go
Now I can't find a way to forget you
I'd give anything to hear you say hello
Say hello to the arms that used to hold me
Hold me close when those chilly winds would blow
Say hello to the lips that used to kiss me
And whisper in my ear I love you so
I saw an old lover
Today on the street
She said do you remember
How we used to be
On fire with that passion
We'd burn down those nights
No I haven't forgotten
How we used to fight
I finally got married
Settled on down
Yeah she's a preachers daughter
In a sleepy little town
She'd make you laugh
Since we said goodbye
No she aint that funny
But she never makes me cry
she never makes me cry like you used to
Theres nothing about her that reminds me of you
I promise I dont see your face when I look in her eyes
And she never makes me cry
Does she makes you beg
for her love in the night
no she aint that selfish
And she never makes me cry
she never makes me cry like you used to
Theres nothing about her that reminds me of you
I promise I dont see your face when I look in her eyes
she never makes me wonder when she's coming home
There's something about her like I've never known
It's been nice to see you but now i must say goodbye
she never makes me cry
she never makes me cry
no no
Do you ever think of me
When you lay your head down
Do you ever think of me
When he ain't around
Do you ever wonder why
Our love couldn't be
Ever since you said goodbye
Do you ever think of me
Chorus:
Savannah
The memory just won't fade
Savannah
I sure wish you'd stayed with me
Savannah
Do you ever see my face
In your new lover's eyes
Has my memory been erased
Am I out of your life
I still remember our first night
We made love so tenderly
So when he doesn't hold you right
Do you ever think of me
Chorus
If he ever lets you down
Happiness just can't be found
I'll still be here hangin' 'round
Savannah
Savannah
(Do you ever think of me)
... repeat to fade
You don't need diamonds or big fancy cars
You say your happy right where you are
We're bound together by a little gold band
You're my kind of woman
Oh, you're my kind of man
Oh living without you is my only fear
You still drive me crazy when I hold you near
My body trembles with each touch of your hand
You're my kind of woman
Oh, you're my kind of manChorus:
You're my kind of woman
You're my kind of man
A match made in heaven
By God's gentle hands
I'll love you forever
Together we'll stand
You're my kind of woman
You're my kind of man
(Repeat chorus)
(Vince Gill/Reed Nielsen)
There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
And there ain't one magazine that I ain't read
I haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
There never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night I've ever known
It just goes on and on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
It does my heart good to see you shine
So I'll just keep on counting these white lines
I haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Calling me back home
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
Sunrise through the evergreens
Another day is born
The hills take on a golden glow
A Carolina morn
I used to see you in her eyes
Now I've just got to know
Oh Carolina, how could you let her go?
Oh Carolina, if I'd only known
Oh Carolina, I would have never gone
I thought the beauty of your hills
Would hold her here for me
I never dreamed while I was gone
You'd ever set her free
I trusted you with all my heart
And the only love I've known
Oh Carolina, how could you let her go?
Oh Carolina, well if I'd only known
Oh Carolina, I would have never gone
Oh Carolina, if I'd only known
Oh Carolina, well I would have never gone
oh come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant oh come ye oh come ye to bethlahem come and adore him he the king of angels oh come let us adore him oh come let us adore him oh come let us adore him christ the lord.
I lie here tonight in the darkness
I've never felt so alone
Tomorrow I'll wake up still lonesome
'Cause things haven't changed since you've gone.
You walked out with angry words spoken
Your leavin' cut right to the bone
I'll pick up the pieces you have broken
Find the strength to go on.
I still remember my arms once held her
How long do old memories last
Why can't I forget it, why can't I admit it
There ain't no future in the past.
--- Instrumental ---
I still remember my arms once held her
How long do old memories last
Why can't I forget it, why can't I admit it
There ain't no future in the past.
Why can't I forget it, why can't I admit it
Vince Gill & Patrick Williams
O Little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in the dark street shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For christ is born of mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God our King
Vince Gill & Patrick Williams
O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear saviours birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till he appeared and the soul felt it worth
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For younder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees.
O hear the angles voices
O night divine, o night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night, O night divine
No other lover ever really cared
When I've reached out for you you've always been there
Now I'm so far away and baby I'm scared
I never knew lonely til you
You are my rock and the strength I need
To keep me sane in this life that I lead
Now I'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely til youI can't make up for the times I've been gone
But I'll prove I love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms girl it's where I belong
I never knew lonely til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely til you
Stars are falling from your eyes
You don't feel what I feel inside
Your hand is warm but your heart is cold
If you're hurtin' you don't let it show
How much longer can we go on
Actin' like there's nothin' wrong
How much farther can we drift apart
Before all the feeling is gone
Chorus:
I'm losing your love
It's slippin' away
Minute by minute
Day by day
losing your love
Don't you think I know
It's a matter of time
'Til you let go
I see the moon shinin' up above
Reminded me how good it was
There's a chill comin' over me
Why can't it be like it used to be
I feel so helpless, I can't make you stay
No matter how hard I try
I can't deny that look in your eyes
Tryin' to tell me goodbye
Chorus
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Well, I've got to stop livin' the way I do
Give my heart back to you
All those nights away from home
Caused my lonely heart to roam
Now, I've got start livin' the way I do
I've spent a lifetime hurting you
And I expect someday you'll say we're through
It ain't too late for me to change
So please, don't write our final page
Still I've got to stop livin' the way I do
I've gone from honeymoons to heartaches
From faithful love to a fool
From hangin' out in honkey tonks
With any girl but you
Well, I've got to stop livin' the way I do
And give my heart back to you
All those nights away from home
Caused my lonely heart to roam
Now, I've got to stop livin' the way I do
I've said all that I can say
But you turned and walked away
There you go now baby
Here am I well you
Let me here so I could
Sit and cry
Golly gee what have you
Done to me
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Do you remember baby
Last September, how you
Held me tight
Each and every night
Ooh how you
Drove me crazy
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Chorus: There's no use in me a cryin' and I've
Done everything and now I'm sick of tryin'
I've thrown away my nights
Wasted all my days over you
Now you go your way baby
And I'll go mine
Now and forever
'Til the end of time
Well I find somebody new baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore
Chorus
Now you go your way baby
And I'll go mine
Now and forever
'Til the end of time
Well I find somebody new baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore
You won't matter anymore
You won't matter anymore
If you're gonna play the jukebox
Would you kindly keep it country?
'Cause I'm feelin' so lonely tonight
Oh, please play a sad song
'Bout a heart that's just been stepped on
Would you kindly keep it country
For me tonight?
I'd get up off this bar stool
If you'd play something we could dance to
A song about a love that's gone astray
Oh, I love to hear 'em sing
'Bout the misery and pain
Would you kindly keep it country
For me tonight?
Oh, please play a sad song
'Bout a heart that's just been stepped on
Would you kindly keep it country
For me tonight?
Would you kindly keep it country
(Vince Gill)
It's time to pack our bags and hit the highway
And head on out for christmas holiday
I'll fall apart when I pull in the driveway
It's my first time home since brother passed away.
His favorite time of year was always Christmas
We'll reminisce about the days gone by
Oh, how I wish that he was still here with us
My memories of him will never die.
When the stockings are hung
Silent night has been sung
And Christmas is finally here
It won't be the same this year.
--- Instrumental ---
Losin' my big brother hurt so badly
It's helped me learn what Christmas really means
There's nothing more important then your family
We're all the children of the king of kings.
When the stockings are hung
Silent night has been sung
And Christmas is finally here
It won't be the same this year.
When the stockings are hung
Silent night has been sung
And Christmas is finally here
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
and presents on the tree
Christmas eve will find me
where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
if only in my dreams
Christmas eve will find me
where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
if only in my dreams
If only in my dreams...
(Amy Grant - Vince Gill)
Oh, if I had my way we'd love one another
And if I had my way we'd all live as brothers
There'd be no more fussing and fighting
No more hungry innocent dying
I'd make it all go away if I had my way.
Oh, if I had my way I'd carry your burden
And if I had my way no one would be hurtin'
There'd be no more hatred and lying
No more lonely little kids crying
I'd make it all go away if I had my way.
Maybe one day the walls will come down
If I had my way the lost would be found
Love will find a way
To turn everything around.
--- Instrumental ---
There'd be no more fussing and fighting
No more frightened little kids crying
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
Whenever my soul is lonely
Whenever I'm feeling blue
I start thinkin' 'bout my blue eyed darlin'
And my heart starts pinin' for you
Chorus:
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
When I'm lost in this ocean of darkness
Not knowing which way I should turn
And my eyes are filled with sadness
Of knowing you'll never return
Everybody wants a little piece of my time
and still I put you at the end of the line
how it breaks my heart to cause you this pain
to see the tears you cry fallin like rain
Give me the chance to prove
and i'll make it up to you
I still believe in you
with a love that will always be
standin so strong and true
baby I still believe in you and me
somewhere along the way i guess i just lost track
Only thinking of myself never looking back
for all the times i've hurt you, I apologize
I'm sorry it took so long, for me to realize
give me the chance to prove
that nothing's worth losing you
I still believe in you
with a love that will always be
standing so strong and true
baby I still believe in you and me
baby i still believe in you
with a love that will always be
standin so strong and true
When I told my baby
Do what you wanna do
Well I had no idea
Just what she'd put me through
Every night she's runnin' 'round
Singin' songs in your hometown
there ain't no one to love me
When the sun goes down
Chorus:
Well, she's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I shoulda kept her barefoot
Barefoot and pregnant all the time
I used to be the first in line
Now I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
All that country club money
Lord it sure looked good to me... yeah it did
Playin' golf with those fat cats
How much better could life be
They all think I've got it made
They see your face on every page
Of every magazine
Across the USA
Chorus
If you see her tell her hi
And everything will be all right
Tell her that I love her
'Til the day I die
Chorus
Come on home
(Vince Gill / Al Anderson)
There's nothin' like the feelin'
When you finally find someone
You're wastin' your time
Thinkin' the whole thing through
If you take her for granted
Man, it's gonna come undone
Don't wait another minute
'Cause she's in love with you
Chorus:
Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away
Well, every gun town would love
To be in your shoes
They've never seen a woman
Ever look so fine
They're all waitin' for the chance
To walk all over you
Son I'd have to tell
I'd be the first in line
Chorus
Any fool can see you've got it made
A love like this don't come around everyday
Chorus x 3
Don't let her get away
We both went a little crazy
We both did each other wrong
Don't think it's too late baby
Don't think that all hope is gone
Chorus:
We need a little more love
To get us through the night
Just a little more love
And we'll be all right
It'd be easy to say it doesn't matter
To walk away and wish you the best
But I know we'd feel a whole lot better
If we tried a little tenderness
Let's put our differences aside
We can make it baby you and I
Let's give it just one more try
We can't let this thing die
Sing sweet and low a lullaby, till Angels say, "Amen"
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
While wise men follow through the dark, a star that beckons them
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
A little child shall lead them, the prophets said of old
Storm and tempest heed them until the bell is tolled
Sing sweet and low your lullaby, till angels say, "Amen"
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
You?ve got my number
And you?ve got my name
So why don?t you call me
Little Liza Jane?
You?ve got that body
And you?ve got that frame
So why don?t you call me
Little Liza Jane?
Girl, I got it bad for you
There ain?t nothin? I won?t do
Just one kiss and I?ll never be the same
Little Liza Jane, oh, little Liza Jane
Now you?ve heard my story
And you?ve got to know my name
So why don?t you call me
Little Liza Jane?
Girl, I got it bad for you
There ain?t nothin? I won?t do
Just one kiss and I?ll never be the same
Little Liza Jane, oh, little Liza Jane
I wake up one morning and it's passed you by
You don't know when and you don't know why
I feel like an old memory hangin' round
And man, we've got to face it, it's a young man's town
I knew this day was comin' all along
Some why bitch an' moan and say they done you wrong
Just teach 'em what you know and pass it on down
'Cause man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town
It's a young man's town
Full of young man's dreams
And all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings
And sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town
You always seem to be the last to know
Man, that's just the way that the story goes
There's nothin' you can do when the fields have turned brown
An' man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town
It's a young man's town
Full of young man's dreams
And all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings
And sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town
Sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town
There's nothing quite as lonely
As a sky that turns to gray
Or a love that just starts dyin'
And slowly fades away
You we're my best companion
Now we lie silent in the dark
Why do you and me have to be
Worlds apart?
There's nothing quite as empty
As when children go away
And all that's left are memories
Of all those yesterdays
You can't understand the feeling
Till it finds its way to your heart
Why do you and me have to be
Worlds apart?
There's nothing quite as ugly
As two people full of hate
We'll all end up as equals
When we stand at Heaven's gate
Love is still the answer
It's the only place to start
Why do you and me have to be
Worlds apart?
Love is still the answer
It's the only place to start
Why do you and me have to be
I've got two lovers in my life now
A true love and one that's brand new
I'm not really sure that I know how
To love one and tell one we're through
I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn
I knew this was wrong, I didn't listen
'Cause a heart only knows what feels right
Oh I need to reach a decision
And get on with the rest of my life
I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn
I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn
The face of an angel, pretty eyes that shine
I lie awake at night wishing you were mine
I'm standing here holding the biggest heartache in town
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
And I feel so helpless I feel just like a kid
What is it about you that makes me keep my feelings hid
I wish I could tell you, bu the words can't be found
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
And when you smile that smile
The whole world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
Whenever you come around
It's 6:05 a.m. on Sunday mornin'
And I was supposed to left for Memphis late last night
But I stopped at one of them old highway places
And 'cause I did, I'll sleep in Tarrant County Jail tonight
Well, I started out tonight with good intentions
But I ended up gettin' sideways drinkin' wine
Well, the last thing I remember we was rollin'
Somethin' hit my head and knocked me from my conscious mind
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong, alright
I said, "Jailor, hey, what y'all got me charged with?"
Well, he looked at me and halfway closed one eye
Well, he said to me, ?To say, you don't remember
Cuttin' up some fool with that bone handled knife?"
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
There's a man drinkin' whiskey in a bar room
He's nursin' a broken heart
There's a woman at a table
With her own brand of misery cryin' in the dark
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will somebody lost find someone who's lost?
Will strangers find comfort in the cold neon light?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Oh, there's just a waitress between them
They're so close to finding their dreams
They're just one dance away from easing the pain
Of coming apart at the seams
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will somebody lost find someone who's lost?
Will strangers find comfort in the cold neon light?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will somebody lost find someone who's lost?
Will strangers find comfort in the cold neon light?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
There ain't one magazine that I ain't read
Haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
Never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night I've ever known
Just goes on and on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
It does my heart good to see you shine
So I'll just keep on counting these white lines
Haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Calling me back home
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I've got a secret I keep in my heart
A secret that sure makes me smile
And I've got a feeling deep down in my soul
That I haven't felt in a while
I've found somebody that really does love me
And I know that she'll always stay
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause my heart feels this way
We watch old movies and cry at the endings
And get lost in each other's eyes
We hold hands when we're walking and spend all night talking
And make love as the sun starts to rise
She's found somebody that really does love her
And she knows that I'll always stay
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause her heart feels this way
We share the same hopes, dream the same dreams
Lifelong companions I'd say
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause our hearts feel this way
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause our hearts feel this way
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas Day
Strings of street lights, even stop lights, blink a bright red
And green as the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
