When You Say Nothing At All lyrics - Alison Krauss

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
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
What's 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
You say it best when you say nothing at all

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
You say it best when you say nothing at all

Walk Over God's Heaven lyrics - Alison Krauss

I got shoes, you got shoes
All of God's children got shoes
My Lord
And when we get to Heaven
Gonna put on our shoes
We gonna walk
We gonna talk
All over God's Heaven
Heaven

I got a robe, you got a robe
All of God's children got a robe
My Lord
And when we get to Heaven
Gonna put on our robes
We gonna shout
We gonna shout
All over God's Heaven
Heaven

Heaven, Heaven
Everybody talkin bout Heaven
Ain't goin there
Heaven, Heaven
Everybody talkin bout Heaven
Ain't goin there
Well, I'm gonna walk
I gonna talk
All over God's Heaven
Heaven

Will There Be Any Stars? lyrics - Alison Krauss

I am thinking today of that beautiful land
I shall reach when the sun goeth down
When through wonderful grace by my Saviour I stand
Will there be any stars in my crown.

Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down
When I wake with the blest in those mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown.

In the strength of the Lord let me labor and pray
Let me watch as a winner of souls
That bright stars may be mine in the glorious day
When his praise like the sea billow rolls.

Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down
When I wake with the blest in those mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown.

Oh, what joy it will be when his face I behold
Living gems at his feet to lay down
It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold
Should there be any stars in my crown.

Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down
When I wake with the blest in those mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown...

Where No One Stands Alone lyrics - Alison Krauss

Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as the sea
And my heart was afraid and I cried,
Oh Lord, don't hide your face from me.

Hold my hand all the way, every hour, every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone.

Like a king, I may live in a palace so tall
With great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing in this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone.

Hold my hand all the way, every hour, every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone...

Never Will Give Up lyrics - Alison Krauss

When this world is caught on fire
I wanna be caught in your will.
No I never will give up, no, no.
No I never will no, no.
No I never will give up, no, no.
No I never will no, no
and when this world is caught on fire
I wanna be caught in your will
I never will give up no, no,
No I never will, No, no, no, no, no

I'll always remember, ya, ya,
you know I always will, ya, ya,
I'll always remember, ya, ya,
Ya know I always will, ya, ya
When they crucified my Lord up on Calverie's hill
I'll always remember, ya, ya,
Ya know I always will ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

No I never will give up, no, no.
No I never will no, no.
No I never will give up, no, no.
No I never will no, no
and when this world is caught on fire
I wanna be caught in your will
I never will give up no, no,
No I never will, No, no, no, no, no

I'll always keep singin', ya, ya.
Ya know I always will, ya, ya
I'll always keep singin' ya, ya,
Ya know I always will, ya, ya,
And when they crucified my Lord up on Calverie's hill

No I never will give up, no, no,
No I never will, no,no, no, no, no

Remind Me, Dear Lord lyrics - Alison Krauss

The things that I love
I hold dear to my heart are just borrowed they're not mine at all
Jesus only let me use them
to brighten my life
So remind me, remind me dear Lord

Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
show me where you brought me from and
where i could have been
just remember I'm a human and human's forget
so remind me, remind me dear Lord

Nothing good have i done
to deserve God's own Son
I'm not worthy of the scars
in His hands
yet he chose the road to Calvary
to die in my stead
why He loved me i can't understand

Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
show me where you brought me from and
where i could have been
just remember I'm a human and human's forget
so remind me, remind me dear Lord

Just remember I'm a human and human's forget
so remind me, remind me dear Lord

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow lyrics - Alison Krauss

I don't know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don't borrow from the sunshine
For the skies they turn to grey.

And I don't worry for the future
For I know what Jesus said
And today I'll walk beside him
For he's what lies ahead.

Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.

Every step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb
Every burden's getting lighter
Every cloud is silver-lined.

There the sun is always shining
There no tear will ever dim the eye
At the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains touch the sky.

Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.

Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Loretta Lynn)

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Once upon a time there lived a man and his name was Isaac
He walked with God both day and night but he didn't wanna die
He cried, oh Lord, please let me live, death is close I know
God smiled down on Isaac and gave him fifteen years to go.

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna die
Well, I long for the day when I'll have new birth 'cause I love the livin' here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.

When Jesus lived here on this earth he knew his father's plan
He knew that he must give his life to save the soul of men
When Judas had betrayed him her father heard him cry
He was brave until his death but he didn't wanna die hey.

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna die
Well, I long for the day when I'll have new birth 'cause I love the livin' here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die...

I'd Rather Have Jesus lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by George Beverly Shea)

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather be his than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land
I'd rather be led by his nail scared hands.

Than to be a king of the best domain
Or be held in sin's dreads way
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause
I'd rather be faithful to his dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus then world wide things
I'd rather be true to his holy name.

Than to be a king of the best domain
Or be held in sin's dreads way
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today...

Far Side Banks Of Jordan lyrics - Alison Krauss

I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I've got a journey on my mind
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me wanna stay
And my one regret is leaving you behind

If it proves to be his will that I am first to go
And somehow I'll be feeling it will be
When it comes your times to travel likewise don't feel lost
For I will be the first one that you'll see

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I'll be waiting, drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming I will rise up with the shout
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand

Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away
Until you come then we'll see paradise

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I'll be waiting, drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming I will rise up with the shout
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I'll be waiting, drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming I will rise up with the shout
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand

In The Palm Of Your Hand lyrics - Alison Krauss

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

Loves Me Like A Rock lyrics - Alison Krauss

When I was a little boy
And the devil would call my name
I'd say who do,
Who do you think you're fooling

I'm a country boy,
I'm a singer in a Sunday choir
My mama she loves, she loves me
Gets down on her knees and hugs me

And she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages and loves me
Well, I was grown to be a man
And the devil would call my name.

I'd say mhm who do,
Who do you think you're fooling
I'm a consummated man
I can snatch a little purity

My mama she loves me, she loves me
Gets down on her knees and hugs me
She loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages and loves me.

And if I was a President
The minute Congress call my name
Well, I'd say who do
Who do you think that you're fooling.

I'm the President you see
I'm up on the Presidential Podium
My mama she loves me, she loves me
Gets down on her knees and hugs me.

She loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages and loves me
She loves me, loves me, loves me
Loves me (loves me like a rock)...

Jewels lyrics - Alison Krauss

When he cometh when he cometh to take up his jewels
All his jewels precious jewels his loved and his own
Like the stars of the morning his bright crown adorning
They will shine in their beauty bright jems for his crown.

He will gather he will gather the jems for his kingdom
All the pure ones all the bright ones his loved and his own.
Like the stars of the morning his bright crown adorning
They will shine in their beauty bright jems for his crown.

Little children little children oh love their redeemer
All the jewels precious jewels his loved and his own
Like the stars of the morning his bright crown adorning
They will shine in their beauty bright jems for his crown.

Like the stars of the morning his bright crown adorning
They will shine in their beauty bright jems for his crown...

Tonight I'll Be Lonely Too lyrics - Alison Krauss

It's like I always figured
You'd be gone from me so soon
A heartache would be the outcome
And I'd be singing this lonely tune

Your friends all tell me your happy now
And how good she's treating you
It looks to be the perfect love
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too

You're only trying to show me
It's no use, the pain's in your eyes
I know you've been so unhappy
Talk of new love, the words are all lies

So you'll go on pretending like always
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too

You're only trying to show me
It's no use, the pain's in your eyes
I know you've been so unhappy
Talk of new love, the words are all lies

So you'll go on pretending like always
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too

But You Know I Love You lyrics - Alison Krauss

When the morning sun streaks across my room
And I’m waking up, from another dream of you
When I’m on the road, once again it seems
All that’s left behind is a chain of broken dreams

[Chorus:]
But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you.

How I wish that love was all we need to live
What a life we’d have, cause I’ve got so much to give
But it seems so wrong, deep in side my heart
That the dollar sign should be keeping us apart

[Chorus]

And if only I could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life had yet not crossed your mind
And all the answers could be found in children’s nursery rhymes
I’d come running back to you, I’d come running back to you

But you know we can’t live on dreams alone
And to pay the rent, I must leave you all alone
Though I made my choice many years ago
And now this traveling life, it’s the only one I know

[Chorus x2]

I'll Fly Away lyrics - Alison Krauss

[from "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack]

Some bright morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

Oh how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away

I'll fly away oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away

Moments Like This - Alison Krauss

[from "Twister" soundtrack]

While the dying world re-defines
The reasons we strive to exist
We feign control though we’re bound to learn
The meaning of moments like this
Cause in the peaceful hour, the quiet spell
Seduced by the promise of bliss
We soon forget that nothing's happened yet
We're living for moments like this

So hold me
Whisper gently this is what we live for
How we learn who we are
It defines us
Ever reminding us that life never is more precious than this

From the dim light in the grayness
The aim of the soul tends to miss
When the clouds catch fire and the oceans pitch
We're made for the moments like this

So hold me
Whisper gently that there's nothing to fear
You'll always be near
To remind me
To stand behind me
Although life can be rough
We can never give up

It's in our power
To face the storm with all its fury and madness
The flash of thunder roll behind us with a longing and sadness
The clouds will break

Hold me
Whisper gently this is what we live for
How we learn how we are
It defines us
Ever reminding us that life never is more precious than this
Hold me
Whisper gently that there's nothing to fear
You'll always be near
To remind me
Stand behind me
Although life can be rough
We can never give up

Shadows lyrics - Alison Krauss (with Tony Rice)

Let me reach out love and touch you, let me hold you for a while
I've been all around the world and how I long to see you smile
There's a shadow on the moon and the waters here below
Do not shine the way they should and I love you, just in case you didn't know

Let it go, let it happen like it happened once before
It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone
And if you do not believe me come and gaze upon the shadow at your door

Won't you lie down by me baby, run your fingers through my hands
I've been all around the town and still I do not understand
Is it me or is it you, or the shadow of a dream
Is it wrong to be in love, could it be the finest love I've ever seen

Set it free, let it happen like it happened once before
It's a bitter wind and it chills me to the bone
And if you do not believe me, come and gaze upon the shadow at your door

Please kiss me gently, darling, where the river runs away
From the mountains in the springtime on a blue and windy day
Where there's beauty all around as the shades of nights grow deep
As the morning stars grow dim they will find us in the shadows fast asleep

Let it go, let it happen like it happened once before
It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone
And if you do not believe, me come and gaze upon the shadow at your door

Whenever I Call You Friend lyrics - Alison Krauss (with Michael Johnson)

Whenever I call you "Friend"
I begin to think I understand,
Anything we are
You and I have always been,
Ever and ever.

I see myself within your eyes
And that's all I need to show me why
Everything I do
Always takes me home to you
Ever and ever.

Now I know my life has given me more than memories

Day by day,
We can see...
In every moment there's a reason to carry on.

Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light.
I've never seen such a beautiful sight.
See love glowing on us every night.
I know forever we'll be doing it right.

Whenever I call you "Friend"
I believe I've come to understand
Everywhere we are
You and I were meant to be
Ever and ever.

I think about the times to come,
Knowing I will be the lucky one...

Ever our love will last
I always want to call you "Friend."

Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light.
I've never seen such a beautiful sight.
See love glowing on us every night.
I know forever we'll be doing it right.
Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light.

I've never seen such a beautiful sight.

See love glowing on us every night.
I know forever we'll be doin' it, doin' it...
Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light.
I've never seen such a beautiful sight.
See love glowing on us every night.
I know forever we'll be doing it...
Right.
