Trisha Yearwood Album

(written by Hugh Prestwood)

I was standing at the counter
I was waiting for the change
When I heard that old familiar music start
It was like a lighted match
Had been tossed into my soul
It was like a dam had broken in my heart

After taking every detour
Getting lost and losing track
So that even if I wanted
I could not find my way back
After driving out the memory
Of the way things might have been
After I'd forgotten all about us
The song remembers when

We were rolling through the Rockies
We were up above the clouds
When a station out of Jackson played that song
And it seemed to fit the moment
And the moment seemed to freeze
When we turned the music up and sang along

And there was a God in Heaven
And the world made perfect sense
We were young and were in love
And we were easy to convince
We were headed straight for Eden
It was just around the bend
And though I have forgotten all about it
The song remembers when

I guess something must have happened
And we must have said goodbye
And my heart must have been broken
Though I can't recall just why
The song remembers when

Well, for all the miles between us
And for all the time that's passed
You would think I haven't gotten very far
And I hope my hasty heart
Will forgive me just this once
If I stop to wonder how on Earth you are

But that's just a lot of water
Underneath a bridge I burned
And there's no use in backtracking
Around corners I have turned
Still I guess some things we bury
Are just bound to rise again
For even if the whole world has forgotten
The song remembers when
Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten
The song remembers when

Don't come crying to me
It wasn't long ago that you couldn't see
The pain you put me in when you walked out

Don't bring me your rainy day
There's just so much a girl can take
And all the tears in the world won't help you now

I can't tell you it's alright
I won't be holding you tonight
You want the love you threw away
All you're gonna get is a whole lot of pain

Better your heart than mine
Better luck to you the next time
You broke my heart in two
Now it's coming back on you
It's your turn to cry
Better your heart than mine

You come waltzing through my door
Like I ain't been here with you before
Don't tell me that new love done put you down

Don't you tell me it's alright
You won't be holding me tonight
You want the love you threw away
All you're gonna get is a whole lot of pain

Better your heart than mine
Better luck to you the next time
You broke my heart in two
Now it's coming back on you
It's your turn to cry
Better your heart than mine

I don't fall in love so easy
I don't even know how it feels
I don't fall in love so easy
I don't even know if it's real

Too strong don't mean it's for long
Too deep don't mean it's for keeps
Fast doesn't last
I don't fall in love so easy
But I'm fallin' in love with you

I don't give my heart to just anyone
I don't even know how to do it
I don't give my hand to just any man
I don't wanna put myself through it

I don't want what I don't want
I can't feel what I don't feel
It's sad but it's true
I don't fall in love so easy
But I'm fallin' in love with you

I used to pray someday to change
But I found new ways to stay the same
Until you came

I don't fall in love so easy
I don't even know where to start
I don't fall in love so easy
I don't understand my own heart

It's so hard to drop my guard
I don't know how to just let go
But what else can I do
I don't fall in love so easy
But I'm fallin' in love with you
I'm fallin' in love with you
Yes, I'm fallin' in love with you

I'm trying to believe in forever
I'm trying to believe in the little jewel box life we lead
Babe, I get so close sometimes
But all I really know is
I believe that we've been making hard promises to keep

You want me to believe in forever
Do you know how tight I'm holding
Just to keep my grip on yesterday?
I'm trying hard to see the pretty pictures that you paint for me
Do you know how tight I'm holding to hard promises to keep

Promises are like little diamonds
Promises are like little hearts
We meant to give away
I thought you'd want them back someday
I've kept them for you anyway
But I know when I've been given hard promises to keep

Promises are like little diamonds
Promises are like little hearts
We meant to give away
I thought you'd want them back someday
I've kept them for you anyway
But I know when I've been given hard promises to keep
And I know that I've been given hard promises to keep

Oh, what a sunny day
When they carried the radio home
Bringing him in off the truck
And the dogs wouldn't leave us alone
Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company

We listen in a room
Through the miles and miles of night
Deep in the heart of the Bible belt
In the golden radio light
Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company

And it's hard days out in the field
The crows in the high tree top
If a man's away from his home all day
His chickens might fall to the fox
Mr. Radio, what can you do about that?
Uh huh

And you can take me down to a river town
Where the citizens dance till dawn
They dance so close it's a sin almost
The way they carry on
Mr. Radio, I never dreamed you could

And it's miles at the careless touch
Of a tired hand in time
When evening fell I heard a strange sell
Dreams that were never mine
Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company
You come down here to keep us company

(written by Jude Johnstone)

Yesterday I thought that I walked alone
And that love was just a memory
But a nightingale followed me back home
And my love was waiting there for me

I had lost my faith as lovers often do
When the storm clouds gather overhead
But the nightingale sang a note so true
That I knew I'd lost my fear instead

And to think that I said love was for fools
And that time would never heal these old wounds
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
In the twilight he played a faithful tune

I have heard the lark over in the vale
And I've heard the lonesome whippoorwill
But the sweetest song is the nightingale's
And I know I'll never get my fill

(written by Craig Wiseman, Trey Bruce)

Well, I've got a steady job that pays enough
A pretty good car that don't break down much
I've got a two-tone hound dog wagging his tail
Ed McMahon promising a million in the mail
Ought to be enough to see me through
But it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you

I've got every eight track that Elvis ever made
Crank it up loud and dance the night away
I've got Chardonnay chillin' in the Frigidaire
A dozen ways of telling you how I care
Just out the window there's a lover's moon
But it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you

If I ain't got you
Baby, it's all in vain
If I ain't got you
Oh, it's like a honeymoon without champagne
A shiny set of rails without a train

Well, I've got a little dream about the rest of my life
Find a good man and be the perfect wife
Start a little family and watch it grow
Visit on Sundays after we get old
Make enough love to last a whole life through
But it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you

If I ain't got you
Baby, it's all in vain
If I ain't got you
Oh, it's like a honeymoon without champagne
A shiny set of wheels without a train

I've got a doublewide heart with room for two
But it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you
No it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you

(written by Willie Nelson)

If you can truthfully say
That you've been true just one day
Well that makes one in a row
One in a row, one in a row

And if you can look into my eyes
One time without telling lies
Well that makes one in a row
One in a row, one in a row

Why do I keep lovin' you
After all the things you do?
And just one time
Come into my arms
And be glad that you're in my arms
Well that makes one in a row
One in a row, one in a row

Why do I keep lovin' you
After all the things you do?
And just one time
Come into my arms
And be glad that you're in my arms
Well that makes one in a row
One in a row, one in a row

(written by Kostas)

When I see you I'm drawn to you
There's a certain look in yours eyes
It's hard to say no to this feeling
No matter how hard I try
Catch me if I'm falling to you
Catch me if I'm breaking away

Oh I'm looking at paradise
Oh I'm looking at paradise
Here comes temptation
Tempting me with you
Here comes temptation
Tempted to get close to you
Here comes temptation
Tempting me with you

If you were to know my secret
I wouldn't feel so shy
Sometimes I think you can see it
It's something I can't hide
All you'd have to do is touch me
And all my resistance would melt away

Oh I'm looking at paradise
Oh I'm looking at paradise
Here comes temptation
Tempting me with you
Here comes temptation
Tempted to get close to you
Here comes temptation
Tempting me with you

I'll have to wait until my chance comes by
I know that you will be mine

Here comes temptation
Tempting me with you
Here comes temptation
Tempted to get close to you
Here comes temptation
Tempting me with you

I watch the sun going down
While I stand on sacred ground
Where once the night found us
In the twilight of our love

You said you'd meet me here
And I'm all alone
You sounded so sincere
Did you lead me on

I told the starry sky to wait for you
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do
I even told the night you were true
And you would be here soon
And now I'm lying to the moon

And so the night takes me in
Like a sympathetic friend
And sends the wind through the trees
So the willow weeps for me

The shadows fool my eyes
And I think I see you
Then they start to cry
Don't you know they believed you

I told the starry sky to wait for you
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do
I even told the night you were true
And you would be here soon
And now I'm lying to the moon

I told the starry sky to wait for you
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do
I even told the night you were true
And you would be here soon
And now I'm lying to the moon
