Only Reminds Me Of You
MYMP
I see you, beside me
Its only a dream
A vision of what used to be
The laughter, the sorrow
Pictures in time
Fading to memory
How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let you know
[chorus]
I try to run from your side
But each place I hide
It only reminds me of you
When I turn out all the lights
Even the night
It only reminds me of you
I needed my freedom
This what Ive thought
But I was a fool to believe
My heart lied while you cried
Rivers of tears
But I was too blind to see
Everything weve been through before
Now it means so much more
[repeat chorus]
Only you
So come back to me
Im down on my knees
Boy cant you see
How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let you know
Forty days and forty nights
Pink and yellow neon lights
The skyline here is such a lovely sight
As far as I can see
How can time move so slow
Another flight, here I go
And diamonds dance on water down below
It never seems to end
And I don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
And I can't wait to see your face again
So I walk these empty streets
To be with you, to be with you
'Till I find a place where I am free
To be with you, to be with you
Walking through these iron gates
I have learned to love this place
But nothing seems to fill this empty space
Here inside of me
And I'm standing here along
Left my heart when I left home
God, I wish that you were here with me
So I walk these empty streets
To be with you, to be with you
'Till I find a place where I am free
To be with you, to be with you
Even though I can't be where you are
You're always in my heart
So I walk these empty streets
To be with you, to be with you
'Till I find a place where I am free
When I'm in trouble
When I'm sinking down
Caught up in this struggle
Stuck out on the wrong side of town
Lord I know you won't forsake me
You help me rise above
Let your spirit take me down
To the river of love
Wash my soul in your water
Turn me around
And I'll surrender all like I ought to
When I go down
To the river of love
River of love
Take me down, down down
To the river of love
Dip my hands in your water
So cool and clear
Pouring down from the altar
There's healing here
Lord I know you won't forsake me
You help me rise above
Let your spirit take me down
To the river of love
Wash my soul in your water
Turn me around
And I'll surrender all like I ought to
When I go down
To the river of love
River of love
Take me down, down down
Oh so mysterious
One look is never enough
She stares out from her world
But this girl is givin' nothin' at all
You can try to get her attention
But you won't even catch her eye
What's wrong with that girl
(Can you tell me)
How to break into her world
(Can you show me)
What's wrong with that girl
(Can you tell me)
What's wrong with that
What's wrong with that girl
Midnight everything's movin'
But she's all alone in the room
And she burns like a flickerin' flame
While I'm standin' here in the rain
It's such a dangerous attraction
But I don't know the reason why
What's wrong with that girl
(Can you tell me)
How to break into her world
(Can you show me)
What's wrong with that girl
(Can you tell me)
What's wrong with that
What's wrong with that girl
Girl this is only
A crazy thought in my head
All reason disowns me
Must I leave it unsaid
I could show her some affection
But should I even try
What's wrong with that girl
(Can you tell me)
How to break into her world
(Can you show me)
What's wrong with that girl
(Can you tell me)
What's wrong with that
And when I see the sign
It points one way
The life we used to lead
Everyday
Just walk away, Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block
They're not the same, you're not to blame
From deep inside the tears
I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain
I chose to hide
Just walk away, Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down
Upon my weary eyes, for me I cry
Your name and mine inside
A heart on a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me
Though they're so small
Just walk away, Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down
Upon my weary eyes, for me I cry
(Just walk away, Renee)
Walk away
(Just walk away, Renee)
I won't follow you, no
(Just walk away, Renee)
I won't follow you, no, just walk away
(Just walk away, Renee)
Just walk away
Cryna farm, Logan Valley
Lovely little red Irish Mary
Roaming wild, the wind in her hair
Sailing over fence and gully
Bareback on a flighty pony
Daring daylight devil-may-care
Though many tried to tame her, none could break the will
Of the fiery eyed little Leo girl coming over the hill
I miss you, Mary Red
And all the wise and wonderful little things you said
I miss you, Mary Red
Lay down your pretty head, Mary Red
A blossomed rose, fair and pretty
She was brazen, bold as Ned Kelly
with loving eyes for only one man
Twas a young beau Jack from the west hailed with a promise
of a home and family and
Mary gave her heart and her hand
And as he walked her down the aisle
She held tight to his arm
And bid farewell her childhood days at old Cryna Farm
I miss you, Mary Red
And all the wise and wonderful little things you said
I miss you, Mary Red
Lay down your pretty head, Mary Red
The simple life was all Mary knew
Raising up her nine strong happy brood
And I remember sweet summer days
Singing old time songs gathered underneath the old wood house on Tina street
And the little words of wisdom she'd say
You young ones go your own way now
No matter what the world may think
You can lead a horse to water
But you can't make him drink
I miss you, Mary Red
And all the wise and wonderful little things you said
I miss you, Mary Red
Lay down your pretty head,
Your work on earth is done now, rest your head
But this world will not forget
Another empty day
And this war inside
Like a fool I sent you away
Now I'm cursing my pride
I would give anything just to have you back in my life
I would do anything for you
But here I am with my foolish heart
That would not forgive you
That hurt you so much
Watching my world as it falls apart
There's no living without you...
For me and my foolish heart
You tried but I refused
To let you make amends
I know there's no excuse
For the things that I said
I would give anything
Just to have you back in my life
I would do anything for you
But here I am with my foolish heart
That would not forgive you
That hurt you so much
Watching my world as it falls apart
There's no living without you...
For me and my foolish heart
I was wrong and I know it
But I know it too late
The wheel turns so they say
Well that's my fate
And here I am with my foolish heart
That would not forgive you
That hurt you so much
Watching my world as it falls apart
There's no living without you...
For me and my foolish heart
Yeah my foolish heart
Watching my world as it falls apart
You and me are not the same
Although you know, I'd like to think we are
You and me are worlds apart
The naked eye could never see how far
I imagine you lonely
I imagine you cry
All on your own
All on your own
So take your time
Don't answer now
Don't think too hard
You're not the saddest heart
Every day is a roll of the dice
That's the way it goes
Don't take it all so hard
I imagine you lonely
I imagine you cry
All on your own
All on your own
All on your own
And I imagine you lonely
I imagine you cry, cry, cry
All on your own
All on your own
You and me are not the same
Although I like to think we are
You and me are not the same
Although I like to think we are
You and me are not the same
Although I like to think we are
You and me are worlds apart
That's the way it goes
It used to be just you and me
We could hold on forever
It used to be we were so carefree
We would always be together
But lately baby when I look in your eyes
Can't seem to find you at all
Something's happened to turn you around
So can you tell me baby
Tell me where are you now
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause I just don't get it
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause it's gone in a minute
What used to be so fragile and free
Couldn't get any better
What used to be easy for you and me
Now it's swept away forever
There's something missing in both our lives
It's the tender moments we shared
I can't live without it
I can't survive
So can you tell me baby
Tell me where are you now
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause I just don't get it
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause it's gone in a minute
Just tell me baby can we work it out
(work it out)
No need to fuss or fight
And we don't need to shout
Remember you said you would always be there
Well I need you now
Gotta know that you care
Just tell me baby can we work it out
(work it out)
No need to fuss or fight
And we don't need to shout
Remember you said you would always be there
Well I need you now
Gotta know that you care
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause I just don't get it
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause it's gone in a minute
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause I just don't get it
Where are you, where are you now
'Cause it's gone in a minute
I called her on the phone late last night
I said "I'm worried baby, but I don't want a fight
This aint workin' out, can't you see
There's something missing here, it seems to me that
You're just gonna go and break me heart"
But I gotta get in first, got to play it smart
I'm gonna stop right here before it starts
'Cause I'm just foolin' myself over you
Foolin' myself, tell me it's true
I'm just foolin' myself
Foolin' myself again
I remember well when we first met
How you loved me baby, I can't forget
All your promises and my big plans
Now I'm sitting here watching them slip through my hands
'Cause friends get tired of being pushed around
And you've been-a-usin' me like a punching clown
But baby one by one, they all fall down
'Cause I'm just foolin' myself over you
Foolin' myself, tell me it's true
I'm just foolin' myself
Foolin' myself again
The late George Woolnough
Worked on High Street and lived on Manners
Fifty two years he sat on his verandah
And made his saddles
And if you had questions about sheep, or flowers or dogs
You'd just ask the saddler, who lived without sin
They're building a library for him
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield Saddler
Turn your head
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead
The son of George Woolnough
Went off and got married and had a way baby
Something was wrong and it's easier to drink then go crazy
And if there were questions about why the end was so sad
Well George had no answers about why a son
Ever has need of a gun
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield Saddler
Turn your head
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead
The Grandson of George has been all round the world
And lives no special place
Changed his last name and he married a girl
With an interesting face
He'd almost forgotten them both
Because in the life that he leads
There's nowhere for George and his library
Or the son with his gun to belong
Except in this song
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield Saddler
Turn your head
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead
Oh time is a meddler, Tenterfield Saddler
Make your bed
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead
Oh time is a meddler, Tenterfield Saddler
Make your bed
Fly away cockatoo, down on the ground emu up ahead
I wish you were here
You wish I was there
I wish for so many things
You wish we could share
But no matter how hard we try
There's always something missing
So why can't you and I
Just stop wishin'
Stop wishin'
Stop wishin'
I'm sorry I hurt you
You're sorry you went away
I'm sorry I told you so
And you're sorry to say
That no matter how hard we try
There's always something missing
So why can't you and I
Just stop wishin'
Stop wishin'
Stop wishin'
Some things are meant to be
And so it is for you and me
So let's just take this chance right now
And make our wish come true
Somehow
Now if we really try
To find out what's been missing
Then darling you and I
Can just stop wishin'
Stop wishin'
Stop wishin'
Stop wishin'
Wishin' on a fallen star
(duet with Margaret Urlich)
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
You said you'd give to me
Soon as you were free
Will it ever be
Where is the love
You told me that you didn't love him
And you were gonna say goodbye
But if you really didn't mean it
Why did you have to lie
Where is the love
You said was mine, all mine
'Till the end of time
Was it just a lie
Where is the love
If you would have a sudden change of heart
I wish that you would tell me so
Don't leave me hanging on to promises
You gotta let me know
Oh, how I wish I'd never met you
I guess it must have been my fate
To fall in love with someone else's love
All I can do is wait
That's all I can do, yeah
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
(repeat to fade)
I talked today about me with another friend
I promised her I'm gonna get it together again
She had lots to say about making plans
And now I'm back to chasing dreams and taking chances
But I laugh along with her
'Cause I know she cares
About me and the things I love
And wants to share
You know 'cause we've got each other
And that's all that matters
We got a love in our hearts
We got each other
And when the whole world scatters
Nothin' can tear us apart
You know 'cause we've got a love in our hearts
Telephone rings in the middle of the night
Says she's got trouble
Wants to give up the fight
Seems like everyday you wake up wanting just a little more
And she wonders has it got to be so hard
And I stop to remind her
And it makes her smile
'Cause way down deep inside all the while
She knows that we've got each other
And that's all that matters
We got a love in our hearts
We got each other
And the when the whole world scatters
Nothin' can tear us apart
You know 'cause we've got a love in our hearts
Maybe I can't promise you
That I'll never let you down
But you can be sure there's one thing
I'll always say
We've got each other
And that's all that matters
We got a love in our hearts
Yeah we got each other
And the when the whole world scatters
Nothin' can tear us apart
You know 'cause we've got a love in our hearts
Life is short and so precious
There's so little time
You'd think I could tell
The one that I love
What's on my mind
But the words don't come to me naturally
And the moments keep passing me by
And you say that you need me
And it just sounds so easy
Comin' from you
And it's so hard to say
But baby in my own way
I love you too
And I can't imagine life without you
Nights are long, here beside you
When I'm wide awake
As long as you sleep
I can say what I want
'Cause my heart is brave
I wish you could hear the things I've said
Once you've opened your eyes
And you say that you need me
And it just sounds so easy
Comin' from you
And it's so hard to say
But baby in my own way
I love you too
And I can't imagine life without you
Oh, oh, what can I say
'Cause I'm trying to find
Some way
'Cause I need ya
And I want ya
Every night and day
And you say that you need me
And it just sounds so easy
Comin' from you
And it's so hard to say
But baby in my own way
I love you too
And I can't imagine life without you
I see you beside me
it's only a dream,
a vision of what used to be
the laughter, the sorrow
pictures in time
fading to memories.
how could I ever let you go
is it too late to let you know
I tried to run from your side
but each place I hide
it only reminds me of you
when I turn out all the light
even the night
it only reminds me of you.. you...
I needed my freedom
that's what I thought
but I was a fool to believe
my heart cried while you cried
rivers of tears but I was too blind to see
everything we've been though before
now it means so much more
I tried to run from your side
but each place I hide
it only reminds me of you
When it turn out all the light
even the night
it only reminds me of you..
only you..
so come back to me
I'm down on my knees
can't you see..
how could I ever let you go
is it too late to let you know
I tried to run from your side
but each place I hide
it only reminds me of you
when it turn out all the light
even the night it only reminds me of you... you
Only reminds me of you
I see life from the highway
I've made it my home
There's a certain kind of freedom
In just being alone
Well I've turned my hands to most things
As a working man must
But the dollar and the bottle
They're all I can trust
Well they're ain't nothing like a sunset
Or walking in the rain
Or waking up at first light
On the dusty desert plain
There are towns I can't remember
And friends I can't recall
But this old heart and me
We've drifted through them all
And most times I'm certain
It suits me just right
But I'm sure close to lonely tonight
I'm sure close to lonely tonight
And I'm too tired to put up a fight
And if this feeling don't kill me
Well the whiskey just might
'Cause I'm sure close to lonely tonight
Every man's got a weakness
Baby I've got two
See one of them I'm drinking
And the other one is you
So pour another strong one
And I'll drink it like a fool
'Cause you're looking like a princess now
From this old bar stool
And it looks like you're certain
It suits you just right
And I'm sure close to lonely tonight
Well I'm sure close to lonely tonight
And I'm too tired to put up a fight
And if this feeling don't kill me
Well the whiskey just might
'Cause I'm sure close to lonely tonight
I look in the mirror
But what do I see?
The face of a stranger looking back at me
Got me under your love spell
It's out of my hands
A victim of this illusion
I'm a desperate man
Wish I could hold tight
And put up a fight
But I can't think of nothing else
'Cause when I feel your touch, it's too much
And I just can't help myself, oh lord
Now I'm walking in the pouring rain
Don't you know it's driving me insane
I don't understand the things I do
Since I met you
Since I met you
I feel so helpless
You're breaking every rule
And there ain't no redemption, no
For a live-sick fool
I'm trying to hold tight
And put up a fight
But I can't think of nothing else
'Cause when I feel your touch, it's too much
And I just can't help myself, oh lord
Now I'm walking in the pouring rain
Don't you know it's driving me insane
I don't understand the things I do
Since I met you
Since I met you
I'm a willing ghost at the whipping post
Just howling at the moon
I'm a man possessed and I confess
I'm crazy as a loon
Wish I could hold tight
And put up a fight
Why am I so obsessed?
'Cause when I feel your touch, it's too much
And I just can't help myself, oh lord
Now I'm walking in the pouring rain
Don't you know it's driving me insane
I don't understand the things I do
Since I met you
Since I met you
Since I met you
Since I met you
Since I met you girl
Since I met you, yeah yeah
Verse:
The first time I saw her she was looking just
Like an angel in the night
I tried hard not to cause no suspicion but
She saw the look in my eye, but I
Bridge:
Don't wanna hurt her, and I
I don't wanna see her cry, and I
I wanna love her like a woman
Cuz she's so
Chorus:
Fragile
Fragile
So Fragile
Fragile
Verse:
Sophisticated just like a lady
Sweet and innocent like a child
I wanna take her in my arms and hold her
Cuz I just can't resist her smile
Bridge:
But I don't wanna hurt her
And I don't wanna see her cry
I wanna love her just like a woman
Chorus
Middle:
Everywhere I go
She's inside my head
So now tell me what I am gonna do
Cause she's so...
The room was dark
The moon was shining bright
I held you and we kissed goodnight
Then through the window
That ungodly light
Was I asleep were you awake
Did I arrive just too late
Is there something you're not saying
I should know
Tell me who set this church on fire
Why is everything we love
Burning to the ground
Tell me who set this church on fire
Is everything that's sacred fallin' down
The saints and sinners in the stained glass
They whisper to me as I pass
There's nothing in this world that lasts
Did someone toss a match away
A careless gesture, who can say
Tell me who set this church on fire
Why is everything we love
Burning to the ground
Tell me who set this church on fire
Is everything that's sacred fallin' down
A shout came from the second floor
And someone ran out the back door
Could he have been the parish priest
A worshipper trapped in the heat
Or was he the one who set the flames to burn
Tell me who set this church on fire
Why is everything we love
Burning to the ground
Tell me who set this church on fire
Discontent is in the air
I feel it in my bones
Chills me to the deepest reaches
Of my weary soul
You're always goin' your way
Following you heart
I wish you could be true to yourself
Without tearing us apart
A house divided will not stand
Everybody knows
A house divided will not stand
When the cold wind blows
Nothing's ever black and white
There is no right or wrong
But we just can't go on this way
No not for very long
Somewhere out across the sky
Over the horizon
Beyond the heights of the great divide
I've got a picture hanging on the wall
It's hard to believe
You were ever that small
Now you've got bigger ideas
Greater ambitions
Higher to reach but further to fall
It used to be you needed me
But now you've grown
So tall and strong
Now you're on your own
But when the walls of your world
Come tumbling down
When you heart starts breaking
And there's no-one around
Just look over your shoulder
Where ever you roam
And remember, you're never alone
You can love without limit
From deep in your soul
If you keep a young heart son
You will never grow old
You can fly to the moon
As high as it seems
But you can crash to the ground
On the wings of your dreams
But you will see...
There will be times when you feel ten feet tall
Times you'll have it all
But when the walls of your world
Come tumbling down
When you heart starts breaking
And there's no-one around
Just look over your shoulder
Where ever you roam
And remember, you're never alone
I can't stop you from living
I can't blame you for trying
I can't stop you from loving
I can't keep you from crying
But when the walls of your world
Come tumbling down
When you heart starts breaking
And there's no-one around
Just look over your shoulder
Where ever you roam
And remember, you're never alone
What's got into me
I never used to feel this way
Never needed someone to belong to
Someone to belong to me
Now I sit here in the darkness
And I don't know where you are
Tell me how I'm going to face it
Has it got to be so hard
And there is no way in sight
I can get through this night
Tell me what do I do, tell me what do I do
Not a day goes by
When darling I don't think of you
Not a day goes by
When I don't wonder why
I don't hear from you
So is this goodbye
What did I do to you baby
To make you feel this way
What did you leave me to hold on to
Like I used to hold you
Now I sit and watch the sun rise
Still I don't know where you are
I am ever gonna find you
Did I let it go too far
And I don't see no way
I can get through this day
Tell me what did I do, tell me what did I do
Not a day goes by
When darling I don't think of you
Not a day goes by
When I don't wonder why
I don't hear from you
Not a day goes by
Each step I take
Feels like I'm loosing ground
Wow I'm lost without you baby
Don't take me down
Come back around
Don't make me walk through this world alone
Not a day goes by
When darling I don't think of you
Not a day goes by
When I don't wonder why
There is a little town way over yonder
By the creek there's a church yard and a tree so tall
She was only forty-seven when she passed away
And though the years go by, still it feels like yesterday
Sitting there by the wood stove
On a cold winter morning
I can see her in her dressing gown
Saying "You'll be late for school"
She had such a gently way
She understood, and with a mother's heart
She loved me like no other could
Now I know that love never dies
I believe it, true hearts never lie
Even though sometimes I cry
I know that love never dies
Midnights and country roads
In the old blue Holden
Saying "Son, if you work hard...
Well you're bound to be a star"
Every show we played from Tamborine to Kerry Town
She was always there
That special face in every crowd
Now I know that love never dies
I believe it, true hearts never lie
Even though sometimes I cry
I know that love never dies
I swear sometimes I feel her
Smiling down on me
How I love that woman
And what she gave to me
So God be her shepherd
And keep her safe and warm
Never let her heart grow weary
Never let her feel alone
And when the angles come to take me
Tell her I won't be afraid
'Cause I know in heaven she waits
For love never dies
I believe it, true hearts never lie
Even though sometimes I cry
Jessie's not coming home tonight
I blew my cool, now she's taking a long, long drive
Where she's going, she doesn't know
All she knows is her heart's got her out of control
Can't get me out of her mind, she said
I've been messing with her head
Oh, Jessie, can't you see
I don't want you out of my head
Or out of my heart
Love's today, not tomorrow
Love me today, not tomorrow
Come back home
Sweet Jessie, pick up the phone
Don't want you out there driving, crying alone
I acted tough like I didn't care
Now you're gone, I'm the one running scared
The things I said didn't come out right
I didn't mean to cause another fight
Forgive me
Oh Jessie, can't you see
I don't want you out of my head
Or out of my heart
Love's today, not tomorrow
Love me today, not tomorrow
Come back home
Jessie's not coming home tonight
I blew my cool, now she's taking a long, long drive
Love's today, not tomorrow
Love me today, not tomorrow
She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up
'Til I close my eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know
Though she's so far away
It just keeps getting stronger every day
And even now she's gone
I'm still holding on
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breaking my heart
Don't wanna let her go
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find their way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
My friends keep telling me
That if you really love her
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in kind
I'll know she's mine
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breaking my heart
Don't wanna let her go
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find their way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
Why I live in despair
'Cause wide awake or dreaming
I know she's never there
And all these time I act so brave
I'm shaking inside
Why does it hurt me so
Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find their way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
Heaven knows
You don't hear a single word I say
I feel your body but your mind's a million miles away
Sometimes I wonder if I'm dead or alive
I'm treading water in this bitter sea of tears I cry
Contempt kills all trace of emotion
Breaks down the walls of devotion
And we're still just going through the motions
Through the motions
Through the motions
Same old sunshine, same old rain
Same four walls but everything inside has changed
Baby, we turn on each other like no-one could
Then we turn on each other no-one ever should
Once love was truth unspoken
Now it lies twisted and broken
And we're still just going through the motions
Through the motions
Through the motions
And it leaves a bitter taste
And the world's an empty place
When you're standing face to face
Now the show's over, the doors are open
It's time to leave but our feet are frozen
And we're still just going through the motions
Every morning with the rising of the sun
It was, pull on your boots boy
There's work to be done
In the valley over yonder
Where the river runs between
Well folks they're needing bridges
Son, you know what I mean
It's time to snig out the timber
Get the monkey in the frame
Land all your girders
Get the decking on the same
Well such is the life
Of a bridge building man
He pushes on through thick and thin
The best that he can
Well the river runs deep
And the river runs wide
And there's only one way to the other side
Now we're building bridges
Got to build them strong
For when the river rises after the storm
Son did I ever tell ya, do you understand?
Do you know what it's like
To be a bridge building man?
So goes the story
Of my dad and grandpa Jack
Ever since I was a little boy
Sitting on my daddy's lap
He said, life is like a river son
That keeps us all apart
You got to learn to build your bridges
From heart to heart
Well the river runs deep
And the river runs wide
And there's only one way to the other side
Now we're building bridges
Got to build them strong
For when the river rises after the storm
Son did I ever tell ya, do you understand?
Do you know what it's like
I was alone, you were a lady
You were looking for love
I was willing to fall, but
Something you said sent my heart a reelin'
Can't believe how in love we're feelin'
No-one could ever take the place of you
(no-one ever)
Not even an angel, and
No-one could ever love you like I do
(never ever)
I swear that it's true
No-one could ever come between us two
(no, not ever)
'Cause it's forever me and you
Who would have thought
Two people so different
Could be falling in love so easily, but
Something I said sent your heart a reelin'
Can't believe how in love we're feelin'
No-one could ever take the place of you
(no-one ever)
Not even an angel, and
No-one could ever love you like I do
(never ever)
I swear that it's true
No-one could ever come between us two
(no, not ever)
'Cause it's forever me and you
When you find a real love
Seems like it's too good to be true
Follow your heart
And love will see us through, and
No-one could ever take the place of you
(no-one ever)
Not even an angel, and
No-one could ever love you like I do
(never ever)
I swear that it's true
No-one could ever come between us two
(no, not ever)
'Cause it's forever me and you
Forever baby, just me and you
(forever)
Forever baby, just me and you
(forever)
Oh yeah, oh yeah (forever)
Oh yeah, oh yeah
When I'm in trouble
When I'm sinking down
Caught up in this struggle
Stuck out on the wrong side of town
Lord I know you won't forsake me
You help me rise above
Let your spirit take me down
To the river of love
Wash my soul in your water
Turn me around
And I'll surrender all like I ought to
When I go down
To the river of love
River of love
Take me down, down down
To the river of love
Dip my hands in your water
So cool and clear
Pouring down from the altar
There's healing here
Lord I know you won't forsake me
You help me rise above
Let your spirit take me down
To the river of love
Wash my soul in your water
Turn me around
And I'll surrender all like I ought to
When I go down
To the river of love
River of love
Take me down, down down
I look at this moutain
So many heartaches wide
I can't help but wonder
Where's the other side?
I've got to be honest
I've got my doubts
And your tears are asking me
What's this got to do with love?
Darling please, tell me something
To help me through this long dark night
When this trouble passes over
You and I will walk away
Knowing that our love
Survives another test of faith
You and I can walk on water
The river rises, we rise above
It may not look that way right now
Trust me baby, this is love
Love isn't easy, I'm torn, I confess
When a heart isn't certain
It's bound to second guess
This love won't forsake us
So dry your tears, I promise you
When this trouble passes over
You and I will walk away
Knowing that our love
Survives another test of faith
You and I can walk on water
The river rises, we rise above
It may not look that way right now
Trust me baby, this is love
Here forever, there's nothing I want more
Our day is coming
And we'll reach that peaceful shore
One more moutain ain't so wide
Remember how we'd go walking...
Late at night when the stars were falling
We were both so innocent and young
For a little while
In the dark we'd sit talking
Under the bridge where love was calling
It was like the two of us were one
Everyone said what a perfect pair
Always together everywhere
They were so sure we were so in love
But now we're strangers
It just ain't like it used to be
Now we're strangers
Funny how life changes
Now we're strangers
Holding hands on the old school bus
Stealing kisses while they laughed at us
We couldn't wait 'till we were seventeen
Then suddenly while
I was up there with my name in lights
And you were all alone on those long city nights
We pretended, oh so easily
Now there's no blame on either side
We just drifted into seperate lives
But tell me what's to become of you and me
Now that we're strangers
It just ain't like it used to be
Now we're strangers
Funny how life changes
Now we're strangers
We can talk about honesty
We can talk about passion and grief
We can cry for sincerity
And we can pray for belief
But right now we're strangers
It just ain't like it used to be
Now we're strangers
Funny how life changes
Now we're strangers
It just ain't like it used to be
Now we're stranges
Funny how life changes
Our paths cross everyday
But we never meet
And my imagination says
That would be so sweet
But I don't want your casual love
No that's too cold
Girl I want to open your heart
And just reach in and take a hold
I wanna mean something to you
I wanna mean something to you
I wanna mean something to you
Oh darling, I wanna mean something to you
In your corner of the world that I call home
I can stand right by your side
Still I'm all alone
See I don't want your friendly smile
Or the time of day
Girl I want to open your heart
And reach on in and steal it away
I wanna mean something to you
I wanna mean something to you
I wanna mean something to you
Oh darling, I wanna mean something to you
I want to be the one in the picture
That you show your friends
I want to be the one that you turn to
When the evening ends
I wanna mean something to you
I wanna mean something to you
C'mon
I wanna mean something to you
Oh baby, I wanna mean something to you
I want to be the one in the picture
That you show your friends
I want to be the one that you turn to
Soft as the rainbow
Like stardust in moon glow
I see the love in your eyes
Like autumn leaves falling
In the first light of morning
It came to my surprise
True love calls
Just once in a lifetime
Why should we wait
When now is the right time
Nothing can stop this love we're in
Nothing can stand in our way
Nothing can block this road we've taken
Nothing can stop us now
The joy of surrender
So strong it's so chanting
I give my heart to you
You know you can trust me
And that's how it must be
No matter what we do
Faithful friends and lovers forever
Right till the end we'll always be together
Nothing can stop this love we're in
Nothing can stand in our way
Nothing can block this road we've taken
When love comes
Sweetly to your door
Embrace completely
What your soul is longing for
Nothing can stop this love we're in
Nothing can stand in our way
Nothing can block this road we've taken
Nothing can stop us now
I could dream my life away
What would I care anyway
It'd be so fine
If you were my baby
I'd be walking ten feet tall
With your love, girl
Why should I worry at all
If you were my baby
I'd never be lonely
If you were my only love
If you were my baby
I'd take my last breath
Before I would let you go
And I promise I'd love you forever and ever
If you were my baby
We'd go walking late at night
Count the starts up in the sky
Just you and me
If you were my baby
Stop to kiss under a tree
Listen to the sound of the whispering breeze
If you were my baby
I'd never be lonely
If you were my only love
If you were my baby
I'd take my last breath
Before I would let you go
And I promise I'd love you forever and ever
If you were my baby
Oh, how wonderful life would be
If you'd give your love to me
Just to hold you endlessly
Is all I'd ever need
I'd never be lonely
If you were my only love
If you were my baby
I'd take my last breath
Before I would let you go
And I promise I'd love you forever and ever
If you were my baby
Oh, if you were my baby
It was 1989, my thoughts were short, my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Splashing through the sand bar, talking by the campfire
It's the simple things in life like when and where
We didn't have no Internet but man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
And we were trying different things, we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long
Catching Walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We'd blister in the sun, we couldn't wait for night to come
To hit that sand and play some rock 'n' roll
While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer
Now nothing seems as strange as
When the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I hear that song and I'll start to sing along
And think, man, I'd love to see that girl again
Man, I'd like to see that girl again
And we were trying different things and we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long
We were trying different things and we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long
All summer long
Singing a 'Sweet Home Alabama' yeah
