The rain has stopped fallin', there's a hush in the air
You can feel the night holding its breath We've stripped our defenses, our souls are laid bare Let's put our fears to the test Come to me now with a love unafraid Lay your heart down and stay Leave the window open, don't pull the shades Let the morning sun show we've made, love unafraid The moonlight is chasin', the shadows away We got no more secrets to hide So don't fight this feeling, don't be ashamed Of the need we've been keepin' inside Come to me now with a love unafraid Lay your heart down and stay Leave the window open, don't pull the shades Let the morning sun show we've made, love unafraid Make no promises, tell no lies And don't close your eyes Come to me now with a love unafraid Lay your heart down and stay Leave the window open, don't pull the shades Let the morning sun show we've made, love unafraid Let the morning sun show we've made, love unafraid, ooh |

See our picture on the wall
Why were we smiling, I just can't seem to recall Remind me Do you see this wedding band Wasn't it once worth more than just gold on my hand Remind me Chorus: I don't care who's right or wrong But my memory of love is almost gone Won't you take me in your arms And remind me You criticize and accuse Oh, but honey you've had amnesia too Kiss me like you used to do And remind me It's a short walk to that door But didn't we have something good that's still worth fighting for Remind me (chorus) (bridge) How did we end up this way Me against you In love one is never to blame It always takes two Do you remember, my dear The first time we made love, come over here And let me remind you. |

In a pair of faded coveralls and her mama's old high heels
She wobbles up and takes a shaky bow She smiles a little smile that hides her missing baby tooth And she manages to sing that way some how Why she starts with 'Delta dawn' and goes into 'Amazing grace' Then squints her eyes and sings 'I fought the law' And when the wind comes sweeping in and ripples through the corn To her it sounds exactly like applause She's just singing to the scarecrow, dancing through the fields With a kitten and bo-jingles in her arms Trying to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels To be here on this South Kentucky Farm Singing to the scarecrow She looks his patchwork eyes and looks into his heart And tries to find a song to ease his pain And she sings 'Faded love' until the sunny sky grows dark And his tears are falling in the somber rain And she's singing to the scarecrow, dancing through the fields With a kitten and bo-jingles in her arms Trying to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels To be here on this South Kentucky Farm Singing to the scarecrow Well, now that little girl is grown, she's in a band out on the road She left those Green Kentucky fields behind But she sings herself back home when she's at the microphone And she smiles that funny smile and shuts her yes Yeah, she's still singing to the scarecrow Trying to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels To be here on this South Kentucky Farm Singing to the scarecrow Singing to the scarecrow Hey yeah ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By LINDE, DENNIS <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Well he wore my name in a tatoo on his arm,
And in a tender voice he said he'd wait for me, Yeah you're dreams are bigger than some red dirt farms, But the grass on the other side aint always green. Then, I, said good bye, and on those silver wings he let me fly, Well I gave him a kiss but I would not give my heart, To a small town boy, Heaven forbid that I'd ever miss the arms, Of a small town boy. Now the south bound wheels on this gray hound bus, Can't carry me home fast enough, Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love, Of a small town boy. Has he found a warmer touch or a pretty face? Does he lay with her down where the lilacs grow? Oh those city boys could never take his place, Will I find the humble words to tell him so? Can, I, turn back time? Does a fool deserve the right to change her mind? Well I gave him a kiss but I would not give my heart, To a small town boy, Heaven forbid that I'd ever miss the arms, Of a small town boy. Now the south bound wheels on this gray hound bus, Can't carry me home fast enough, Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love, Of a small town boy. I miss the little things, Like the summer heat, the fire flies, dancein slow on a stary night, When I was the apple of his eye. Let me still be the apple of his eye, Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love, Well I got off track wont you help me win back the love, Of a small town boy. Small town boy, Small town boy, Small town boy. |

Hello God, it's me again, two a.m., room 304
Visitin' hours are over, time for our bedside tug 'o war The sleepin' child between us may not make it through the night I'm fightin' back the tears as she fights for her life Well, it must be kinda crowded on the streets of Heaven So tell me what do you need her for? Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever? But right now, I need her so much more She's much to young to be on her own Barely just turned seven So who will hold her hand When she crosses the streets of Heaven? Tell me God, do you remember, the wishes that she made? As she blew out the candles on her last birthday cake She wants to ride a pony when she's big enough She wants to marry her daddy when she's all grown up Well, it must be kinda crowded on the streets of Heaven So tell me what do you need her for? Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever? But right now, I need her so much more She's much to young to be on her own Barely just turned seven So who will hold her hand When she crosses the streets of Heaven? Lord, don't you know, she's my angel? You've got plenty of your own And I know you hold a place for her But she's already got a home Well, I don't know if you're listenin' But prayin's all that's left to do So I ask you Lord, have mercy You lost a son once too And it must be kinda crowded on the streets of Heaven So tell me what do you need her for? Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever? But right now, I need her so much more Lord, I know once you've made up your mind There's no use in beggin' So if you take her with you today Will you make sure she looks both ways? And will you hold her hand When she crosses the streets of Heaven? The streets of Heaven |

Hello Friend I don't know where you're bound But welcome to the incredible shrinking town Before too long you'll be the latest rumor going 'round They'll all smile and wave, they'll all know your name Yeah, it's not about what you do, it's all bout who you know So step right up and take a shot at the status quo Oh and let me introduce you to some good God-fearin' folk Hear the Church bells ring, listen to the choir sing White fences, peach pie Air kisses, wishing you well So sweet So nice But if you get a secret You better not tell Street corners, back yards Good Fiction is better than fact They're masters of the art Of "bless your heart" with a knife in your back This town is that small So help your self to some hospitality Make your peace with your brand new scaled down dreams You might think you're free to go, but you'll never leave So find yourself some shade and pour some lemonade White fences, peach pie Air kisses, wishing you well So sweet So nice But if you get a secret You better not tell Street corners, back yards Good Fiction is better than fact They're masters of the art Of "bless your heart" with a knife in your back This town is that small They love to build you up just to knock you down Cause this town.. this town.. White fences, peach pie Air kisses, wishing you well So sweet So nice But if you get a secret You better not tell Street corners, back yards Good Fiction is better than fact They're masters of the art Of "bless your heart" with a knife in your back This town is that small |

I was trapped in a castle tower
Locked up in chains I waited for my prince to save me But he never came I woke up with my heart pounding Convinced that I was cursed I picked up a romance novel And read the last page first Ohhh ohhh woe is me I want to fall in love so hard it hurts I want the kind of love that moves the earth I want more than I can take 'Til my poor heart starts to ache I want to fall in love so hard it hurts I took a ride with a guy from Tupelo In his Chevrolet He said baby we're moving way too fast And slammed on the brakes We got out and he lit a cigarette We didn't say too much He packed up his emotional baggage And left me in the dust Ohhh ohhh woe is me I want to fall in love so hard it hurts I want the kind of love that moves the earth I want more than I can take 'Til my poor heart starts to ache I want to fall in love so hard it hurts Ohhh ohhh woe is me I want to fall in love so hard it hurts I want the kind of love that moves the earth I want more than I can take 'Til my poor heart starts to ache I want to fall in love so hard it hurts |

Standing in line at the grocery
Staring back at the trash magazines Martians say earth girls are lonely Well that's no news to me In the parking lot I saw two cowboys Fighting for a handicapped space So what is a girl to do now boys To make sense of this place There's too much wrong in the world tonight Too much I can't understand I wanna board up these windows And turn out these lights And lie down with an innocent man Lie down with an innocent man I don't need a strong man's protection No I don't want a faithless man's love Just a little respect and affection Would be more than enough 'Cause I've been shot down by love's aimless arrows And I've shot a few wild ones myself But these days the choices are narrow And you've got to aim well There's too much wrong in the world tonight Too much I can't understand I wanna board up these windows And turn out these lights And lie down with an innocent man Lie down with an innocent man I've been holding my heart like a lantern Looking out for just one honest face All the noise out there won't matter If I can trust in just one quiet place There's too much wrong in the world tonight Too much I can't understand I wanna board up these windows And turn out these lights And lie down with an innocent man There's too much wrong in the world tonight Too much I can't understand I wanna board up these windows And turn out these lights And lie down with an innocent man Lie down with an innocent man Lie down with an innocent man |

He was a hot-blooded rebel, he was aiming to please
He had more than a tattoo up his sleeve Marylou, Peggy Sue, Suzy Q, Norma Jean Yeah he was pretty as a picture on his motorbike He never met a mirror that he didn't like Sorry dude, with your rude attitude, take a hike Goodness, gracious, mercy me Somebody tell me when will I be Lucky, lucky in love Roll myself a seven when I throw the dice I've been waiting for the king of hearts Still I get the joker every time When will I be, lucky in love I met a sweet-talking guy from Paris, Tennessee He bought me french fries at the Dairy Queen Came on strong, 'fore too long He was on bended knee Now when I hear his footsteps up my block I hear the tick of his biological clock Sorry hon', gotta run, it's been fun, still in shock Goodness gracious, mercy me Somebody tell me when will I be Lucky, lucky in love Roll myself a seven when I throw the dice I've been waiting for the king of hearts Still I get the joker every time When will I be, lucky in love Goodness gracious, mercy me Somebody tell me when will I be Lucky, lucky in love Roll myself a seven when I throw the dice I've been waiting for the king of hearts Still I get the joker every time When will I be Oh when will I be Oh yeah, when will I be Lucky in love |

Your love was reckless baby I fell deep
Easy to hold but you were hard to keep You were a heartache waiting to be We took off flying down a dead end street I never knew that love could hurt so bad When you said goodbye with a tip of your hat I watched you leaving across the welcome mat And though I know that you ain't coming back One solitary tear is all I'll cry One solitary tear falling, falling, Falling from my eyes I'll get over you I'll get by One solitary tear At a time Little things remind me that you're gone The mailman still brings all your catalogs The radio just keeps on playing our songs But I tell myself that I have to be strong One solitary tear is all I'll cry One solitary tear falling, falling, Falling from my eyes I'll get over you I'll get by One solitary tear at a time I'll get over you I'll get by One solitary tear At a time One solitary tear At a time |

You don't need to talk French
To make me giddy You don't need to fly me off to some foreign city You don't need pretty words just to turn my head And you don't need to be a Casanova in bed If you're gonna love me Why don't you just do it Come on baby, Put your heart into it You don't need to pop out of a birthday cake You don't need to bring me roses on roller-skates Write my name in big letters across the sky No you don't need to run for president to catch my eye If you're going to love me Why don't you just do it Come on baby, Put your heart into it Well you can lead a horse to water But you can't make 'em drink Send a boy to college But you can't make him think We'll I've been feeling kind of lonely Like a ship out on the ocean I need to see a little old-fashioned emotion Well you got my attention, baby What's on your mind You can leave all that fancy footwork behind Well I can see you're cute and I know you're witty But let's get down to the real nitty gritty If you're going to love me Why don't you just do it Come on baby, Put your heart into it Yeah, if you're gonna love me Why don't you just do it Come on baby Put your heart into it |

The air is cooling and the sun's going down The day's been grueling in this dusty old town My body's aching for what you do to me Tender tenderly Tender tenderly The words are easy when the language is love You know exactly what I'm thinking of My heart is hungry for what you do to me Tender tenderly Tender tenderly I've had lovers go up in flames Been with others who've had no names God I've waited patiently For someone who really touches me I've had lovers go up in flames Been with others who've had no names God I've waited patiently For someone who really touches me I feel your fingers and their touch is like fire Sensations linger then they turn to desire My body's aching for what you do to me Tender tenderly Tender tenderly Tender tenderly Tender tenderly |

You waltz into the room
Just like you'd never left And for a moment or two I could almost forget You take me in your arms And I fall again That's no way to break a heart You call my name I drop my guard Why can't you play your chosen part And stay away so I can make another start That's no way to break a heart Weren't you supposed to need Something I could not give But now you're lying so close to me And you're taking everything I can't hold on forever For nothing more than this That's no way to break a heart You call my name I drop my guard Why can't you play your chosen part And stay away so I can make another start That's no way to break a heart No don't touch me Don't you kiss me Don't you realize That's no way To say goodbye That's no way to break a heart You call my name I drop my guard Why can't you play your chosen part And stay away so I can make another start That's no way to break a heart |

So you're taking it on the chin Looks like he's working late again But you don't want to fight You find it easier to let things slide So you pour a glass of wine and read a book It's your last chance for romance Day by day You keep pretending that nothing's wrong But you're just deceiving yourself You've been indifferent way too long Oh, don't you know Once your heart was filled with passion Until you took it all for granted And now it comes as no surprise Tonight there's trouble in paradise So you bury yourself in work It keeps your mind off how much it hurts 'Cause there's no love left at home Even when he's with you, you're still alone You want to reach out But you don't know where to start It's easier not to talk at all Day by day You keep pretending that nothing's wrong But you're just deceiving yourself You've been indifferent way too long Oh, don't you know Once your heart was filled with passion Until you took it all for granted And now it comes as no surprise Tonight there's trouble in paradise You want to reach out But you don't know where to start It's easier not to talk at all Once your heart was filled with passion Until you took it all for granted And now it comes as no surprise Tonight there's trouble in paradise |

Words, they don't mean nothing
So tell me why they hurt so much I meant to tell you something It was on the tip of my tongue Words rush by so quickly And it's too late to take them back I tried to say I'm sorry And that goodbye was just an act But all my words got in the way And all the things I meant to say Were not the things you heard Why'd you have to go And take me at my word Words come back to haunt you Yeah, they just keep hanging around I still can hear the echo I still can hear their angry sound 'Cause all my words got in the way And all the things I meant to say Were not the things you heard Why'd you have to go And take me at my word Words can say I love you Oh, words can break a heart I should have stopped you leaving And told the truth right from the start But all my words got in the way And all the things I meant to say Were not the things you heard Why'd you have to go And take me at my word Why'd you have to go And take me at my word Why'd you have to go And take me at my word |
