Jamie O'Neal Album

Why does the color of my coffee match your eyes
Why do I see you when a stranger passes by
I swear I hear you in the whisper of the wind
I feel you when the sun is dancin' on my skin
And when it's raining
You won't find me complainin' cause

When I think about rain
I think about singing
When I think about singing
It's a heavenly tune
When I think about heaven then
I think about angels
When I think about angels
I think about you

The taste of sugar sure reminds me of your kiss
I like the way that they
Both linger on my lips
Kisses remind me of a field of butterflies
Must be the way the heart is fluttering inside
Beautiful distraction
You make every thought a chain reaction

When I think about rain
I think about singing
When I think about singing
It's a heavenly tune
When I think about heaven then
I think about angels
When I think about angels
I think about you

Anywhere I go
Anything I do
Everything around me baby

He promised her a new and better life,out in Arizona
Underneath the blue never ending sky,swore that he was gonna
Get things in order,he'd send for her
When he left her behind,it never crossed her mind

There is no Arizona
No pained desert,no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist,those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find
There is no Arizona

She got a postcard with no return address,postmarked Tombstone
It said "I don't know where I'm goin' next but when I do
I'll let you know"
May,June,July,she wonders why
She's still waiting,she'll keep waiting 'cause

There is no Arizona
No pained desert,no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist,those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find
There is no Arizona

Each day the sun sets into the west
Her heart sinks lower in her chest and
Friends keep asking when she's going
Finally she tells them don't you know

There is no Arizona
No pained desert,no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist,those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find
There is no Arizona

Say goodbye maybe that's one way to go
Walk away and say it's over call it history
Do I believe we'd better off apart
Can I see my world without you in it
Baby,not for a single minute

Let the moon give up the night
All the star leave heaven on high
The sun would burn out before I'd ever lose you
We can get over any wall
If we have to fly,run,climb or crawl
Love will always lead us back
Where we belong

Just today I woke up shakin' from a dream
I got a glimpse of life without you
All the good was gone
Then I realize you were lying next to me
I knew right then,baby,come whatever
When the going gets tough we'll face it together

Let the moon give up the night
All the star leave heaven on high
The sun would burn out before I'd ever lose you
We can get over any wall
If we have to fly,run,climb or crawl
Love will always lead us back
Where we belong

Baby,all we got to do is reach out
No laying blame,no guilty party
Lay our dagers down on the ground
Hold each other and say we're sorry

Let the moon give up the night
All the star leave heaven on high
The sun would burn out before I'd ever lose you
We can get over any wall
If we have to fly,run,climb or crawl
Love will always lead us back
Where we belong

Love is gonna let us back

I been walkin' through life with a bullet proof vest
Shielding emotions,acting like I couldn't care less
I kept love at a distance my defenses were loced and alert
Then you say hello and the next thing I know
I'm ready to risk being hurt

No more protecting my heart
My soul is out of the dark now yes it is
I'm settin' my sails,tail winds prevail and I'm on my way
You've got me lettin' my guard down baby
I wanna see what love has to offer me
I'm showin' all my cards
No more protecting my heart

I been guilty of sayin' no when I could have said yes
My heart's history,well it hasn't been the best
But this time I'm trusting in somebody other then me
I built the walls tall,now there gonna fall
Got no more secrets to keep

No more protecting my heart
My soul is out of the dark now yes it is
I'm settin' my sails,tail winds prevail and I'm on my way
You've got me lettin' my guard down baby
I wanna see what love has to offer me
I'm showin' all my cards
No more protecting my heart

I been waitin',hesitatin',treadin' water,tryin' to stay afloat
But now I'm headin' in the right direction finally filled with hope
No more protecting my heart

You've got me lettin' my guard down baby
I wanna see what love has offer me
I'm showin' all my cards

No more protecting my heart
Baby,I'm ready to start

She looks in his eyes,he looks away
She chalks it up as another one of those days
If there's a reason he's coming home late
She hasn't heard it yet

She warms up his dinner but he can't eat
She makes conversation when he don't speak
He shakes his head as the silence screams
'Cause she hasn't heard it yet

If only love could cry out loud
It'd be enough to send ths old house crashing down
Still,she's choose to turn her head
'Cause it's easier to deny
Then to admit he's been tellin' her goodbye
And she hasn't heard it yet

He leaves his ring as a souvenir
Says so long to himself in the hallway mirror
He''s just closed the door on eighteen years
And she hasn't heard it yet

If only love could cry out loud
It'd be enough to send ths old house crashing down
Still,she's choose to turn her head
'Cause it's easier to deny
Then to admit he's been tellin' her goodbye
And she hasn't heard it yet

It's easier to deny
Then to admit he's been tellin' her goodbye
And she hasn't heard it yet

I was a travler travellin' alone
Crossin' that desert they call the unknown
Lost in a valley of shadows and sinking sand
Hopeless was circling over my head
Patiently waiting for my last step
I was a desperate womman in no man's land
Like an angel of mercy,emotional savior

You rescued me in the nick of time
I was right on the edge of goin' out of my mind
I was runnin' on empty down to a crawl
Facing a future with no one at all
And just before I found out
How life without love could be
You rescued me

The mind can play tricks when you're wanderin' out there
Making up visions out of thin air
That's why I thought I was dreamin' when you appeared
But your touch had feeling,your kisses were real
Your voice echoed like a song on a hill
Somehow you knew what my heart needed to hear
Like an angel of mercy,emotional savior
You took me in your arms and out of danger

You rescued me in the nick of time
I was right on the edge of goin' out of my mind
I was runnin' on empty down to a crawl
Facing a future with no one at all
And just before I found out
How life without love could be
You rescued me

You rescued me in the nick of time
I was right on the edge of goin' out of my mind
I was runnin' on empty down to a crawl
Facing a future with no one at all
And just before I found out
How life without love could be
You rescued me

You rescued me in the nick of time
I was right on the edge of goin' out of my mind
I was runnin' on empty down to a crawl
Facing a future with no one at all
And just before I found out
How life without love could be

Don't know how you do it
Like there's nothing to it
You just look my way
I lose my composure
Don't know what to say
I'm overwhelmed,you smile,I melt

Shiver,tremble,I never
No I never onc felt so much
It shakes me how you take me
Deeper then I've ever been
It's to the core,under my skin I
Shiver

I love the way your whisper
Slowly,softly lingers
In my ear
You move a little lower
The world starts spinning slower
Then it disappears
Your lips so close,we kiss almost
Just barely touch,but that's enough
To make me

Shiver,tremble,I never
No I never onc felt so much
It shakes me how you take me
Deeper then I've ever been
It's to the core,under my skin I
Shiver

It shakes me
How you take me
Deeper tthen I've ever been
It's to the core,under my skin I
Shiver
Shiver

Shiver,tremble,I never
No I never onc felt so much
It shakes me how you take me
Deeper then I've ever been
It's to the core,under my skin I
Shiver

A family that loves me
More friends then I can count
Got that job I always wanted
Nothing to complain about
I know I've got so much going
Still I've got so much gone

The only thing wrong in my life
Are the arms that don't hold me
Through the long lonely nights
The only thing wrong in my life
Is you're not in it baby

I ought to simply move on
And shrug off your goodbye
But it's hard to see the future
Through these tears in my eyes
The sun never shined so brightly
But one cloud blocks out the light

The only thing wrong in my life
Are the arms that don't hold me
Through the long lonely nights
The only thing wrong in my life
Is you're not in it baby

My world was close to perfection
'Til the day you said goodbye

The only thing wrong in my life
Are the arms that don't hold me
Through the long lonely nights
The only thing wrong in my life
Is you're not in it baby

The only thing wrong
Is you're not in it baby

What I'm feeling,time is gonna heal it
I've been hearing that for so long now
They say I'll move on,got to try and be strong
Life will go on,I'll get through this somehow
Oh,but how,when

I'm still waiting
For you to come back
I'm aching
For you to walk through that door
And hold me once more
But you won't
Waiting

It was a Sunday,we buried you in the rain
I never knew pain 'til the first night alone
Opened your closet,breathed you in and lost it
The truth of it,baby,finally hit home
No,you're not coming home but

I'm still waiting
For you to come back
I'm aching
For you to walk through that door
And hold me once more
But you won't
Waiting

Wish you could talk to me somehow
Tell me,what do I do now
I'm still waiting

I'm still waiting
For you to come back
I'm aching
For you to walk through that door
And hold me once more
But you won't
Waiting

I'm aching
For you to walk through that door
And hold me once more
But you won't (you won't)
Yeah,I know (I know)
That you won't (you won't)
Still I go on

(with Mark Wills)

I'm gonna make you a promise
Starting tonight
If I never do anything else
For the rest of my life

I'm gonna hold somebody
I'm gonna look in someone's eyes
'Til I'm so overcome that I cry
I'm gonna love somebody
More then anybody
Baby there's so much I wanna do
But I'm not gonna do anything without you

There's no way I'll ever give up
There's no way I'll lose
If I have to sacrifice everything
Then that's what I'll do

I'm gonna hold somebody
I'm gonna look in someone's eyes
'Til I'm so overcome that I cry
I'm gonna love somebody
More then anybody
Baby there's so much I wanna do
But I'm not gonna do anything without you

This dream I live and breathe
All I think about
This is the fire that burns in me
That will never go out

I'm gonna hold somebody
I'm gonna look in someone's eyes
'Til I'm so overcome that I cry
I'm gonna love somebody
More then anybody
Baby there's so much I wanna do
But I'm not gonna do anything without you

Baby there's so much I wanna do
But I'm not gonna do anything without you
I'm not gonna do anything without you

What is this thing you do
Make me just tell the truth
Whenever I turn to you I surrender
Fears that I've tried to hide
And every old alibi
Now I see a source of light
Just within my reach

You are my sanctuary
My beacon in the night
You opened up your heart
You let me walk inside
When the world is turnin' crazy
I run to your embrace
Only you can save me
I've finally found a place
To lay down the load that I carry
You are my sanctuary

Don't know what brought us here
But one thing I know clear
I traveled a trali of tears to find you
Now when I'm on the brink
Down to my weakest link
And the weight makes me sink
Down to my knees

You are my sanctuary
My beacon in the night
You opened up your heart
You let me walk inside
When the world is turnin' crazy
I run to your embrace
Only you can save me
I've finally found a place
To lay down the load that I carry
You are my sanctuary

Now love seems so easy
You are my everything
So simple you touch me
My worries drift away

You are my sanctuary
My beacon in the night
You opened up your heart
You let me walk inside
When the world is turnin' crazy
I run to your embrace
Only you can save me
I've finally found a place
To lay down the load that I carry
You are my sanctuary

Wake up,ninty miles an hour
Take the world's fastest shower
Coffee black,microwave it
I'm at at my best caffeinated
Out the door,pick up the pace
I'm here,I'm there,I'm everyplace

That's how it goes
A day in my life
I'm on my toes
From morning to night
Livin' like this
Some might say it's
So exhaustin' frenzied,manic
Call me nuts but I like it frantic

I'm not bulit for relaxing
I get bored without some action
One speed is all I know
Seize the day,yeah that's my motto
Maybe someday,I'll slow down
Maybe someday,but for now

That's how it goes
A day in my life
I'm on my toes
From morning to night
Livin' like this
Some might say it's
So exhaustin' frenzied,manic
Call me nuts but I like it frantic

Things I haven't done
Keep me on the run
But time sure does fly
When you're having so much fun

That's how it goes
A day in my life
I'm on my toes
From morning to night
Livin' like this
Some might say it's
So exhaustin' frenzied,manic
Call me nuts but I like it frantic

Oh,I like it frantic
Oh,I like it frantic
Yeah,I like it frantic
That's how it goes

To be with you
I would risk a thousand lifetimes
To be with you
There's no mountain that I wouldn't climb
If you're the sky
Let me be the cloud that runs right through you now
You don't know just how I need to

Be with you there can be no substitute
To be with you
I've tried to hide my passion but it's
Just no use
Piece by piece I lose it when you
Walk in the room
How can I get through
If I can't be with you

Everytime I close my eyes see your face
I taste you on my lips
Every night I fantasize
That I can feel you on my fingertips

To be with you, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
I'm powerless swept under by your sweet cares
I'm fadin' fast
One look at you and I forget just who I am
I come unglued if I can't be with you

Everytime I close my eyes I can see your face
I taste you on my lips
Every night I fantasize
That I can feel you on my fingertips

Everytime I close my eyes I can see your face
I can taste you on my lips
Every night I fantasize
That I can feel you on my fingertips

To be with you
I would risk a thousand lifetimes
There's no mountain I wouldn't climb
To be with you
