"Heart Over Mind"

"Heart Over Mind"


Well he walked into the room with his love de jour
She was a pony-tailed porcelain doll
She was draped on his arm like a fine mink fur
She was at his beck and call
I couldn't hear a word he said
But I've heard it all before
And like a rusty hinge on an eerie night
When you slowly close the door

He sent chills up and down, up and down my spine
He does it to me every time
It's just a case of heart over mind
And still, somehow, he gets to me
Well I ain't deaf, and I ain't dumb or blind
It's just an elementary, simple case of heart over mind

Well, he walked into my life full of savoir faire
Oh, the things he could say with a smile
And I fell in love on the spot, right there
Good Lord, that man had style
Now I know better than to take him back
But I'll take a second look
'Cause I still get weak when he walks my way
'Cause he sure did a body good

He sent chills up and down, up and down my spine
He does it to me every time
It's just a case of heart over mind
And still, somehow, he gets to me
Well I ain't deaf, and I ain't dumb or blind
It's just an elementary, simple case of heart over mind

I've come to my senses
He ain't right for me (he ain't right for me)
But he gets through my defences
It's hard to believe

He still sends chills up and down, up and down my spine
He does it to me every time
It's just a case of heart over mind
And still, somehow, he gets to me
Well I ain't deaf, and I ain't dumb or blind
It's just an elementary, simple case of heart over mind
It's just an elementary, simple case of heart over mind

Heart over mind
Heart over mind
I know it's only heart over mind
Heart over mind
I know it's only heart over mind

"Help Me Make It Through The Night"

"Help Me Make It Through The Night"


Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
And I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
And I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

Help me make it through the night
Hold me tight
Help me make it through the night
Help me make it, make it through the

"Here I Go Again"

"Here I Go Again"


Every time the phone rings I wonder if it's you
I've about worn out those records we used to listen to

[Chorus:]
And I curse the day I ever let you in
'Cause now you're gone and here I go
Here I go again

I think about us dancing to that downtown country band
And the crooked smile you gave me when you held out your hand

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I'm sure it's for the best
And some day I'll laugh the whole thing off
But I'm not quite there yet

I try to hang on to the memory of your touch
And I tell myself I'm crazy for missing you this much

[Chorus]

"Here's That Rainy Day"

"Here's That Rainy Day"


Maybe I should have saved those left over dreams
Funny, but here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day they told me about
And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way

Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my lover near
It's funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here

Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here

"How Does It Feel"

"How Does It Feel"


Hey, how does it feel
When did you know
When to let it go
Hey, weren't you afraid
The choices you made
And walking away

Girl, you been here before
You what it's like
Let me cry on your shoulder
When would you realize
It was a lie and it was over
Yet you stayed up all night long
Ooh, drinking wine and playing sad songs
Yet your heart just turned to stone
Before you could move on

What you'd spend to close your eyes
Ooh, I'm so [?]
You'll be naked through the night
[?] this fire
Please help me to see
That I don't need him
Cause he don't love me
When am I gonna heal
I just need to know
How does it feel
...

"I Can Buy My Own Roses"

"I Can Buy My Own Roses"


The flowers you sent came to my door
And I know what you sent them for
The card said you were sorry as could be
But angry words were said last night
still hurt me in the morning light
And they wont disappear that easily
I know your intentions are sencere
I say they words but you don't seem to hear
I can buy my own roses, but thats not what I need to make it okay
I need you to talk to me, I need truth and honesty
Thats the way I want you to show it
I can buy my own roses
Pink ballons and chocolate hearts, you try to use like cupid darts
But you are the only one they help to heal
what will it take to make you see
the best thing you can give to me is taking time to know the way I feel
The truth hurts, but its worse if I pretend
And I don't want your apoligy again
I can buy my own roses, thats not what I need to make it ok
I need you to tall to me, I need truth and honesty,
thats the way that I want you to show it (three times)

"I Can Count On You"

"I Can Count On You"


One of these days I'm gonna do it
Won't everybody be surprised
Been a long time coming to it
Always one more alibi
I've been saving up my courage
'Til I'm strong enough to go
Leave behind these worries
Like I should have long ago
'Cause I know

[Chorus:]
I can count on you
In a world that's always changing
Steadfast and true
Not a doubt remains
You'll break my heart in two
Just like you always do
I can count on you

I've been afraid to be without you
Guess that's why I stayed so long
Now I know too much about you
To just keep hangin' on
You won't be there when I need you
In the middle of the night
No more wonderin' when I'll see you
I'll just turn out the light
And close my eyes

[Chorus]

"I Can't Think Of Anything But You"
(with Sammy Kershaw)

"I Can't Think Of Anything But You"
(with Sammy Kershaw)



Now that I've looked in your eyes
Felt your heartbeat next to mine
I can't think of anything but you

It was only moments that we shared
And now you're with me everywhere
I can't think of anything but you

And when I close my eyes
Your face is all that I see in my mind
I never knew a touch or a kiss could make me feel like this

I get in bed and close the light
And hold you in my dreams all night
I can't think of anything but you

And when I close my eyes
Your face is all that I see in my mind
I never knew a touch or a kiss could make me feel like this

I can't wait to see you again
I don't know how I am gonna hold out till then
Cause I can't think of anything but
How much you make my heart sing
And I can't think of anything but
Now that I've looked in your eyes
I can't think of anything but
Felt your heartbeat next to mine
I can't think of anything but
It was only moments...

"I Did"

"I Did"


Something sad about a road hotel,
It's only meant to sleep in.

For me it's like a prison cell,
for doing time and thinking,
Bout, you and me and stupidity,

One word from you would bring me home,
but there's no chance I'll hear it.

I sit staring at the telephone, but, I won't go near it
You don't want me and I just want what used to be.

Oh! My heart never let you go, I did
Its paying for the things that we both know, I did

It always loved you, it's not to blame.
I'm the fool, who ruined everything.

Oh, my heart never let you go, I did

Punish me but not my heart,
that's what I would tell you

I know forgiveness comes so hard,
after what you've been through
I hurt, you bad, I'd give anything to take it back.

Oh, my heart never let you go, I did
Its paying for the things that we both know, I did

It always loved you, it's not to blame
I'm the fool, who ruined everything.

Oh, my heart never let you go, I did

Oh, my heart never let you go, I did
It's paying for the things that we both know, I did

It always loved you, it's not to blame.
I'm the fool, who ruined everything

Oh, my heart never let you go, I did

"I Didn't Know My Own Strength"

"I Didn't Know My Own Strength"


I've been living with a heart on the mend,
Wondering how will I ever be strong.
I know I'll live to love again.
I just leaned on you too long.
It's been an uphill fight,
But I'm going to be alright.

[Chorus:]
I didn't know my own strength
Till I had to pick myself up
And carry on without your love.
I'm getting back on my feet.
Its been a long hard fall,
But I'll make it after all
No, I didn't know my own strength

I've had oceans of tears to get through
And the weight of the world on my mind.
There's been mountains of memories to lose
And I've been beating back the blows to my pride.
But till the times got tough
I never knew what I was made of.

[Chorus:]
I didn't know my own strength
Till I had to pick myself up
And carry on without your love
I'm getting back on my feet.
Its been a long hard fall,
But I'll make it after.
No, I didn't know my own strength

Then the times got tough
And I knew what I was made of.

I didn't know my own strength
Till I had to pick myself up
And carry on without your love.
I'm getting back on my feet.
Its been a long hard fall,
But I'll make it after
No, I didn't know my own strength
