No Small Miracle
My Poor Old Heart
It's Never Easy To Say Goodbye
Back
In My Arms Again
(Lee Roy Parnell,Rory Michael
Bourke,Cris Moore)
People always say that hindsight's 20/20
When it comes to mistakes in love, girl I got plenty
But the one that sticks out the most in my mind
Is the night I left you standing on the front porch crying
Living for the day I could make it all up to you
Til your back in my arms, back in my arms again
Til your back in my arms, I'll be oh lonesome 'til then
Now honey I wont' eat, I won't even sleep
I'll be walking these soles off of both of my feet
Til your back in my arms, back in my arms again
Well I'm getting to know this old town like never before
Walking every street, knocking on every door
Girl, whereever you are, I want you back
I love you baby, and I'm sure 'bout that
Whatever it takes, there's nothing that I won't do
Til your back in my arms, back in my arms again
Til your back in my arms, I'll be oh lonesome 'til then
Now honey I wont' eat, I won't even sleep
I'll be walking these soles off of both of my feet
Til your back in my arms, back in my arms again
I must have been a fool, I confess
To ever let you go, now I ain't gonna rest
Til your back in my arms, back in my arms again
Til your back in my arms, I'll be oh lonesome 'til then
Now honey I wont' eat, I won't even sleep
I'll be walking these soles off of both of my feet
Til your back in my arms, back in my arms again
Ain`t
That Love
(Kostas)
The first time that we met
And the first time that I kissed your lips
Is a thing I won't forget
The special way you held me
Is the way you hold me still
And I knew right then that you loved me
And I know you always will
Ain't that love
Ain't that how it's supposed to be
When two hearts come together as one
Just like you and me
Ain't that love
Shining in your eyes
Heaven sent from up above
Ain't that love
My grandma and grandpa
My momma and my dad
Didn't have a lot of things
But love is what they had
Their love kept them together
Through the many years
Though life was hard
They shared it all
Through the laughter and the tears
Ain't that love
Ain't that how it's supposed to be
When two hearts come together as one
Just like you and me
Ain't that love
Shining in your eyes
Heaven sent from up above
Ain't that love
Baby you're the sunshine
That brightens up my day
And I will always stand by you
Darlin' come what may
And I will always love you
To have and to hold
And I'll keep my every promise to you
With this band of gold
Ain't that love
Ain't that how it's supposed to be
When two hearts come together as one
Just like you and me
Ain't that love
Shining in your eyes
Heaven sent from up above
Ain't that love
Heaven sent from up above
Ain't that love
When
I Close My Eyes
(Mark Alan Springer,Nettie Musick)
There's so many things
I didn't say
And even though
It may be too late
I want you to know
I still love you so
Every car I meet
Looks like your car
Every movie I see
You play the leading part
You're on my mind
Can't leave you behind
When I close my eyes
You're all I see
In the dark of night
You're in my dreams
Throughout the day
You're easy to find
You're always there
When I close my eyes
In my mind I know
You're far away
But here in my heart
Nothing has changed
I'm still holding you
Like I used to
On a busy street
In a crowded room
Wherever I go
It's just me and you
Together again
Girl it never ends
When I close my eyes
You're all I see
In the dark of night
You're in my dreams
Throughout the day
You're easy to find
You're always there
When I close my eyes
You're always there
When I close my eyes
Back
Where I Come From
(Mac McAnally)
Well in the town where I was raised,
the clock ticked and the cattle grazed
Time passed with amazing grace,
Back where I come from
You can lie on a river bank,
paint your name on a water tank
Miscount all the beers you drank,
Back where I come from
Chorus
Back where I come from
Where I'll be when its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
We learned in Sunday school,
who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moon shine too,
Back where I come from
Blue eyes on a Saturday night,
tan legs in the broad daylight
TV's they were black and white,
Back where I come from
-Chorus-
Back where I come from
Where I'll be when its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
Some say it's a backward place,
narrow minds on a narrow wage
But I make it a point to say,
that's where I come from
-Chorus-
Back where I come from
Where I'll be when its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
That's where I come from
I'm an old Tennessean
Well Im proud as anyone
That's where I come from
Turn
For The Worse
(Billy Yates,Frank Dycus,Kerry Kurt Phillips)
There's a fork in the road
On my way home
Temptation waits
Wine, women, and song
Lord my will breaks
Where that road bends
And tonight I took a turn for the worse again
Left was home
Right was wrong
You can bet by now she knows
Which road I'm on
It's a road I know
Like the back of my hand
But tonight I took a turn for the worse again
My old truck
Pulls a little to the right
Seems to get a lot worse
On Friday nite
Things are bad at home
Lord I'm sick of work
So tonight I took a turn for the worse
Left was home
Right was wrong
You can bet by now she knows
Which road I'm on
It's a road I know
Like the back of my hand
But tonight I took a turn for the worse again
Lord tonight I took a turn
For the worse again.
Me
And You
(Skip Ewing,Ray
Herndon)
Ordinary no, really don't think so
Not a love this true
Common destiny
We were meant to be
Me and you
Like a perfect scene from a movie screen
Where every dream comes true
Suited perfectly for eternity
Me and you
Every day, I need you even more
At the nighttime too
There's no way
I could ever let you go
Even if I wanted to
Every day I live
I try my best to give
All I have to you
I thank the stars above
That we share this love Me and you
Every day, I need you even more
At the nighttime too
There's no way
I could ever let you go
Even if I wanted to
Ordinary no, I really don't think so
Just a precious few
Ever make it last
Get as lucky as
Me and you
Me and you
(Turn Out The
Light And) Love
Me Tonight
(Bob McDill)
Well I've been lonesome
I've been empty
I've got an aching
Way deep down inside
And I need someone, someone to hold me
Pull down the shades, turn out the light
And love me tonight
Don't think about tomorrow
It don't matter anymore
We can turn the key
And lock the world outside the door
I need you so now
Come on, let go now
Kick off your shoes, turn out the light
And love me tonight
Well don't you worry
We're all alone now
So let your hair down
Come sit by my side
And turn off the TV
Put on some music
Pull down the shade, turn out the light
And love me tonight
Don't think about tomorrow
It don't matter anymore
We can turn the key
And lock the world outside the door
I need you so now
Come on, let go now
Kick off your shoes, turn out the light
And love me tonight
I need you so now
Come on let go now
Pull down the shades, turn out the light
And love me tonight
(Zach Turner,Tim Nichols,Mark D. Sanders)
Get my baby a couple Quick Sack roses
Put $5 worth of gas in my pride and joy
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy
Gonna take her out to the Tasty Freeze then
We'll go dancin' at the American Legion
When ole Bobby does Elvis
You'll swear it was the real mccoy
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy
Aww there ain't much to do
In this one life town
But we don't let that
Slow us down
If it's too quiet
We make our own noise
Now you can bet your boots
By the end of the week
My pretty little girl
Is ready for me
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy
When we've had enough of that shakin' and a-shoutin'
We go fog up the windows in the Smoky Mountains
We have more fun than a couple of tourists and a Polaroid
Another Friday night in the lift of a country boy
Aww there ain't much to do
In this one life town
But we don't let that
Slow us down
If it's too quiet
We make our own noise
Now you can bet your boots
By the end of the week
My pretty little girl
Is ready for me
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy
(Mickey Cates,Pat Terry)
There's a little clapboard house
With a wolf outside the door
In the bedroom there's a light
That's been staying on all night
For atleast a month or more
The heartaches and the bills keep coming due
And with all they're going through....
It's no small miracle that love hangs on
Hearts get weary when hope is gone
In a world where roses wither and die
It's no small miracle when love survives
It's been uphill for a while
But he still makes her smile
Every now and then
Lately they've been findin' out
It's the little things that count
And they do what they can
He tells her he loves her everyday
She says things will be okay
It's no small miracle that love hangs on
Hearts get weary when hope is gone
In a world where roses wither and die
It's no small miracle when love survives
In a world where roses wither and die
It's no small miracle when love survives
My Poor Old
Heart
(Shawn Camp,Gary Harrison)
Ever since I was a baby
Just a rockin' in the cradle
As a rule, I was
The kind that laid his feelings
Up front and on the table
I gave her my world so many times
Just to see 'em tear it apart
Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart
I wonder just how many times a broken heart can mend
Oh and when I get back on my feet, Lord, I always fall again
Bridges burned, lies, good-byes
They've all dealt some scars
Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart
Well I ought to know by now
After all these dead-end heartache lessons
I can go without
Going through hell tryin' to find a little heaven
Seems to me every woman I meet
Has leaving down to an art
Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart
I wonder just how many times a broken heart can mend
Oh and when I get back on my feet, Lord, I always fall again
Bridges burned, lies, good-byes
They've all dealt some scars
Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart
Well I said, bridges burned, lies, good-byes
They've all dealt some scars
Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart
I said Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart
(Bernie Nelson,Allen Shamblin)
It sure looks big in his little eyes
His mama waves
As the tears kick up the dust
It's never easy to say goodbye
Julie Ray in her pearl white wedding gown
Has found her wings and it's time to fly
It's all her dad can do to keep from breakin' down
It's never easy to say goodbye
It ain't easy
To ever say goodbye
It ain't easy
Lettin' go of the ones you love
But believe me
We'll meet again by and by
If not here
Somewhere up above
I've had friends
That I lost along the way
They've been called on down the line
Though their time was short
I still think about 'em everyday
It ain't easy to say goodbye
It ain't easy
To ever say goodbye
It ain't easy
Lettin' go of the ones you love
But believe me
We'll meet again by and by
If not here
Somewhere up above
The time has come
To go our separate ways
And it's alright if you wanna cry
Though I know we'll meet again someday
It's never easy to say goodbye
It ain't easy
To ever say goodbye
It ain't easy
Lettin' go of the ones you love
But believe me
We'll meet again by and by
If not here
Somewhere up above
If not here
Somewhere up above
