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]
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
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
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
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.
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

You and I were meant to be
Ever and ever.

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.
