Waiting for your world to turn around is less likely to be found. As I watch it moving past. Than any other hope that I might hold, someday you might know.
We're on shaky ground but it's too late now. I ain't backing out, I don't give up that easy. You're not an easy man. For me to understand sometimes. .
Everyday seems I turn another page. And it feels like the heartache fades a little more away. Lookin' the mirror and I like what I see. Hey you didn't take that much, baby, out of me.
If it's a long, long road, baby, I'll walk it. If it's a mountain high, baby, I'll cross it. If it's deep blue sky, you know I'll jump out in it. There's nothin' I would not do for you, there's no limit.
I'm lookin' at you in the candlelight. I whisper softly in your ear. Feels like the stars are linin' up tonight. I'm gonna hold you tenderly. . I pull you close and love you like a freight train.
If you get out in the drivin' rain. Stand in the eye of the hurricane. And never think twiceIf you turn your back on selfishness. Cause your thougts are for someone else.
I ain't picked up my guitar in 15 days. Some music man didn't give a damn what I have to say. But he's stealing tears and playing games that I don't play.
He was working through college. On my Grandpa's farm. I was thirsting for knowledge. And he had a car. . Yeah, I was caught somewhere between. A woman and a child.
Story of my life, story of my life. Well, let's just say it's a fork and a knife. There's one thing on my mind, one thing all the time. I got to fill my mouth.
She parks her car on Woodland Street. She's got a job at the Meat-N-Three. She's kind of pretty in a peculiar kind of way. And I try hard to like her, yeah, I try hard to like her.
She would never say where she came from. Yesterday, don't matter when it's gone. While the sun is bright or in the darkest night. No one knows, she comes and goes.
She danced in the dirty streets. Satin shoes tied to her feet. People 'round here said she was a sight. . Every night when the sun went down. She'd curtsy and take a bow.
Wanna tell you about a friend of mine. Her name is Rita Valentine. Every summer night you can find her dancin'. Barefoot under a front porch light. All the boys would bring her flowers and wine.
A tear ran down his face as she started to leave. He said, "Baby, don't do this I'm beggin' you please". What can I say to stop you from walkin' out on us.
White lace bedspread, Monet hanging over my head. Big smile on my face, wine glasses all over the place. Your shirt on my floor, I've never done that before.
I've got a friend who wears go-go boots to Sunday School. We used to sit and drink pink champagne on a tin roof. Ridin' it out in a thunder bird. Singin' out loud every single word of Jack and Diane.
Dancing bears, painted wings. Things I almost remember. And a song someone sings. Once upon a December. . Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm.
I can't help but wonder how this fire keeps going out. Even when we try to keep it burning. It's hard to let you go and that's because I know. Holding on is worth a little hurting.
Caroline was born about a mile from the Mississippi. Kinda like the kudzu, she grew up fast and pretty. A little bit of Memphis, little bit of New York City.
We fell in love underneath a Michelangelo sky. We saw the same things in the shapes of the clouds rolling by. A blanket of leaves and the soft summer wind.
