Now That I

(nelson mandrell/happy valley music, bmi)

Could your heart ever be mine?
Your arms hold me so close to you all through the night
Your eyes gaze into mine
Sayin' i should believe you, i always do, i don't know why

Cause you taught me a lesson the hard way one time
Told me you loved me but then changed your mind
I never told no one how i hurt down inside until now
Sleep on

Could your heart ever be mine?
My arms hold you so close to me all through the night
My heart warned me this time
But i need to believe you, so i do, just for tonight

But you taught me a lesson the hard way one time
Promised to love me but then changed your mind
I never told no one how i hurt down inside until now
Sleep on

(ron block/moonlight canyon publishing, bmi)

If i could have the world and all it owns
A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones
If all the earth were mine to hold
With wealth my only goal

I'd spend my gold on selfish things
Without the love that your life brings
Just a little bit more is all i'd need
'til life was torn from me

I'd rather be in the palm of your hand
Though rich or poor i may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees
Your grace provides for me

If i should walk the streets no place to sleep
No faith in promises you keep
I'd have no way to buy my bread
With a bottle for my bed

But if i trust the one who died for me
Who shed his blood to set me free
If i live my life to trust in you
Your grace will see me through

I'd rather be in the palm of your hand
Though rich or poor i may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees

If i could have the world
If i could have the world and all it owns

Look at the sky baby
What do you see?
Looks like the tears that i cry
Fallin' down like rain on the ground
Every time you say goodbye

Take a look around now
Why don't you feel
The way that cold wind stings and bites
And your words just are like arrows through my heart
Every time you say goodbye

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

Look at the sky baby, see how it cries?
Ain't it just like my tears
Fallin' down like rain on the ground
Every time you say goodbye

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

I stood on faith and the corner of ambition
I came here to sink or swim
And to show them all that they were wrong
And though i never thought i'd make it this far

So the curtains are down
For the moment i'm someone
There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way
Now there gone
But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are

When i'm down and i'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

When i'm down and i'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Can't go on, i'm on the top of my better years
I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here

It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Baby,
Now that i've found you
I won't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so,
Baby even though
You don't need me
Now

Baby,
Now that i've found you
I won't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so
Baby even though
You don't need me,
You don't need me oh, no

Baby, baby,
When first we met
I knew in this heart of mine

That you were someone i couldn't forget.
I said right,
And abide my time

Spent my life looking
For that somebody
To make me feel like new
Now you tell me that you want to leave me
But darling, i just can't let you

You don't need me
You don't need me no, no

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as i may i could never explain
What i hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever i fall
Now you say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long i can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
old mr.webster could never define
whats being said between your heart and mine


The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever i fall
Now you say it best when you say nothing at all
