Every mountain I had to climb. Every river I had to swim. Every desert that I crossed. Brought me one step closer to him. And this incredible love we're in.
I WANTED TO WRITE A SONG FOR YOU. SO I STARTED OUT WITH A NOTE OR TWO. AND I SANG BABY I LOVE YOU. BUT THEY ALL JUST SEEMED LIKE HOLLOW WORDS. NO MEANING THINGS I'VE ALREADY HEARD.
From the pocket of an honest preacher. To the empty hand of a homeless bum. To the cash drawer at the liquor store. Where he bought a pint of rum. . To the bank clerk who past me off.
The Wysteria vines were climbin'. Every sunset was a watercolor,. The promise of a perfect summer. A blue eyed boy with a red TransAm.. We spent hours on his hood just laughing.
(Rebecca Lynn Howard/Kim Williams). . Well I washed my Mustang just last nigt. Filled the tank full of freedom. I've been waiting on eighteen,eighteen years.
I was raised in the hills of Kentucky. I grew up in L.A.. From different sides of the country. Every time we heard music play. We were learning our language.
Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling. Calling for you and for me. See, on the portals he's waiting and watching. Watching for you and for me. . Come home, come home.
1st. Across the street from Mables store. Underneath my daddy's carport. If you knew at least three chords you could come and play all night long. Flattop Mandolin or anything with strings.
Hey, time won't wait, life goes by. Every day's a brand new sky. Every tear comes to dry. All that really matters in this crazy world. Is you and I together baby, just remember.
Lady luck and the four leaf clover. Won't ease this hurt, I feel all over. My life was one special occasion. Till I ended up in this situation. . I'm standin' on shakey ground.
We were young, moved way too fast. Soon the future was the past. Now here we are. Wondering who we are. . Blame lust, blame it on fate. Blame it on we just couldn't wait.
Save your money on the flowers. What's yours is mine is ours. And I can grow my own. . Diamond rings and cars are easy. And I think they're kinda cheesy.
You hold the pole and I'll try to net him. I'll wade out up to my waist. Been standin' on the bank all day hot and sweaty. We can't let this one get away.
You taught me how to whistle. And how to tie my shoes. And how to talk to Jesus. In the darkness of my room. . You held my hand when I got stitches. When one of Tommy Tyler's pitches hit my face.
Too many people throwing it away. No not us, not today. Love won't make it. Without changing your moves. Put a new twist on an old groove. . Hey now we made up our minds.
Another same old, same old Friday night. What a surprise dinner and a movie. Gotta believe there's more to life. I'm looking for a man, looking for a man.
All these nights alone without your hand to hold. You still feel so close almost like a ghost. . And I see you and I miss you. . Every little sigh the taste of the tears you cried.
Ever since I lost you babe, I've been here and there. Looking for some piece of mind, can't find it anywhere. I went down to Tunica, played me a little blackjack.
Once upon a lonely time. I could barely make it through the night. It always seemed the sky was fallin' down on me. But life's funny and you don't own it.
I can tell baby you're gonna get blistered. If you get to close to the stove. I hark to the day my mother used to say. "Cool off with a watering hose".
