Wynonna

I laid a red rose
On your front porch
Wrote i love you
On a note
I rang the door bell
And turned to go
Baby when the curtains moved
I couldn’t believe the view

(chorus)

I saw the light in your window tonight
I saw two shadows holding each other tight
I know the truth when i look in your eyes
I saw the light in your window tonight

So take your cheatin?hands
Off my red dress
‘cause i ain’t wearin?
This thing for you
I see you clearly now
And your lies too
They say that love is blind
Baby not this time

(repeat chorus)

Why baby why, should i listen to you?
I cried, baby, cried, now i'm walking out the door

They say that love is blind, baby, not this time

(repeat chorus)

Seen a lot of trouble
At my door
I've never known a day when
I ain't been poor
But i'm gonna live
With jesus in the end

Hard times
Is all i see
I've lost the ones
That are dear to me
But i'm gonna live
With jesus in the end

(chorus)

I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
With jesus in the end

These poor bones
Are tired and old
Meeting my savior
Redeem my soul
¡®cause i'm gonna live
With jesus

I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
With jesus
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
With jesus in the end

Jimmy climbs on board that old yellow bus
It sure looks big in his little eyes
His mama waits as her 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

(chorus)

It ain’t easy
To ever say goodbye
It ain’t easy
Lettin?go of the ones you love
But believe me
Begin by and by
If not here
Than somewhere up above

I’ve had some friends that i lost along the way
They’ve been called on down the line
Though their time was short, i think about them every day
And it ain't easy to say goodbye

(repeat chorus)

Now the time has come to go our separate ways
And it’s all right if you want to cry
And though i know, we’ll meet again someday
It’s never easy to say goodbye

(repeat chorus)

When i reach the place i'm goin?br> i will surely know my way
And i will turn and look inside me
And bid farewell to one more day

Every light begins with darkness
Every flower is once a seed
And with the sun and wind to test us
We are bound to be released

I will fly beyond this valley
I will open up the gate
And when i reach the place i'm goin?br> i will surely know my way

We have hands to hold our sorrow
We have tears to heal the pain
And though your eyes ask many questions
On your lips i hear my name

I was born without a whisper
I was born beneath the rain
But when i reach the place i’m goin?br> i will surely know my way
I will surely know my way

Billy was a small town loner
Who never did dream
Of ever leaving southern arizona
Or ever hearing wedding bells ring
He never had a lot of luck with the ladies
But he sure had a lot of good working skills
Never cared about climbing any ladder
He knew the way in a small cafe, found the will

He met miss bonnie
And a little bit of her was a little too much
A few movies and a few months latter
The feeling got strong enough
They didn’t own a car
So it must have been love
That drove him uptown for a diamond
That’s when he started goin?

(chorus)

Over the line
Working overtime
To give her things just to hear her say she don’t deserve them
But he loves her and he just kept going overboard
Over the limit to afford to give her things he knew she wanted
‘cause without her where would he be?
See, it’s not for him
She is his only need

Ring on her finger and one on the ladder
A new promotion every now and then
Bonnie worked until she couldn’t tie her apron
Then stayed at home and had the first of two children
And my, how the time did fly
The babies grew up and moved away
Left 'em sitting on the front porch rocking
And billy watching bonnie’s hair turn gray

And ev’ry once in a while you could see him get up
And he’d head downtown
‘cause he heard about something she wanted
And it just had to be found
Didn’t matter how simple or how much
It was love
And, boy, ain’t that love just something
When it’s strong enough to keep a man goin?p> (repeat chorus)

Over the line
Working overtime
She is his only need
His only need
Overboard
Over the limit
Just for her
She is his only need
His only need
