I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby lyrics - alison krauss

Last night my dear the rain was falling
I went to bed so sad and blue
Then I had a dream of you

I dreamed I was strolling in the evening
Underneath the harvest moon
I was thinking about you

Then we met out in the moonlight
The stars were shining in your eyes
But another was there too

I don't believe you've met my baby
You looked at her, you looked at me
I wondered who you were taking to

I shook the hand of your stranger
But I was shaking more inside
I was still wondering who

Your arm was resting on her shoulder
You smiled at her, she smiled at you
Her eyes were filled with victory

She said "My brother wants to marry"
And then my heart was filled with ease
I knew that you would marry me

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

"Every Time You Say Goodbye" (1992) (as Alison Krauss & Union Station)



Every Time You Say Goodbye lyrics - alison krauss

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

Another Night lyrics - alison krauss

Wind is blowin' 'round the cabin
I hate to hear that lonesome sound
I'm all alone and so downhearted
Since my true love she ain't around

I hate to see that sun a sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her I yearn

She had no cause to go and leave me
For I had never done her wrong
She left our own little children
Now with another man she's gone

I hate to see that sun a sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her I yearn

Children they are sound asleepin'
Oh they don't know that their mother's gone
What will I do when they awaken?
Can I tell them their mother's wrong?

I hate to see that sun a sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her I yearn

Last Love Letter lyrics - alison krauss

I'm writing my last love letter
And for reasons now, I don't know where to start
Seems so many times I've written down "I love you"
Well I hope this time I can get that through your heart

Only fools will go on and keep talkin' to a wall
But I can't fool around forever
And if stone is the wall that you've built around your heart
Then I guess it's goodbye in this letter

And maybe I was wrong to ever think that you could love me
I was hoping you just couldn't find the time
Have my efforts been in vain with pen and paper?
Did you ever care, did I ever cross your mind?

Only fools will go on and keep talkin' to a wall
But I can't fool around forever
And if stone is the wall that you've built around your heart
Then I guess it's goodbye in this letter

In this letter
In this letter

Who Can Blame You lyrics - alison krauss

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

You justify yourself in your love for someone else
When you say, I never loved you anyway
Your vows were made in vain, although my love still remains
Though you broke my heart in two, who can blame you

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

In a heart of rusty steel you kept your love affair concealed
'Til the day she was asking you to stay
You turned your head from the tears I've shed
Though you broke a heart in two, who can blame you

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

It Won't Work This Time lyrics - alison krauss

You walked up yesterday and you told me you were leavin'
Left a note sayin' momma won't be back
But you'll come back and I've got news for you dear
You won't have a home and that's a fact

Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness
Pack your bags and move on down the line
Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry
It's too late babe, and it won't work this time

I've always been around, Lord when you needed someone
I played the role 'til I knew each line by heart
But now it's time to change, won't you find another playmate
Someone who'll be glad to play the part

Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness
Pack your bags and move on down the line
Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry
It's too late babe, and it won't work this time

Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness
Pack your bags and move on down the line
Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry
It's too late babe, and it won't work this time

Heartstrings lyrics - alison krauss

Way up north where the snow flies and the sun don't hardly shine
If it weren't for my true love, I'd long ago lost my mind
I'd long ago lost my mind

There's good folks here, good folks there, most everywhere I go
But the land of my heart is down where the snow white cotton grows
Where the snow white cotton grows

When the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll take to the higher ground
When the water goes down again we'll saddle our old paint
We'll be homeward bound
Me and my love will be homeward bound

Heartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak tree
Holdin' through tornado winds
Tougher than timber, stronger than steel
They'll guide me back southward again
They'll guide me back southward again

When the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll take to the higher ground
And when the water goes down again we'll saddle our old paint
We'll be homeward bound
Me and my love will be homeward bound

I Don't Know Why lyrics - alison krauss

I don't know why the sky is so blue
I don't know why I'm so in love with you
If there were no music, I would not get through
I don't know why I know these things, but I do

I don't know why somewhere dreams come true
I don't know where we'll find a place for you
Every time you look that way I lay down my life for you
I don't know why I know these things, but I do

I don't know why sun can make you cry
I don't know how I'm bound to get you back, but I'll try
They don't mean to cause you pain, they're just afraid of loving you
I don't know why I know these things, but I do

I don't know why the trees grow so tall
I don't know why I don't know anything at all
If there were no music, I would not get through
I don't know why I know these things, but I do, I do
I don't know why I know these things, but I do

Cloudy Days lyrics - alison krauss

Dark clouds hangin' over me
When will they go away?
Rain is in my eyes and I can't see
Life's become just cloudy days

Why she done me like she done
I guess I'll never know
She knows I need her more than anyone
I made a point to let it show

Cloudy days don't the sun ever shine anymore?
Stormy weather will you always be around?
When I'm down, I can't stand cloudy days

I recall a time when times were good
Lord, it seems so long ago
But you know they say if rain won't come
Then love has no chance to grow

Cloudy days don't the sun ever shine anymore?
Stormy weather will you always be around?
When I'm down, I can't stand cloudy days

Cloudy days don't the sun ever shine anymore?
Stormy weather will you always be around?
When I'm down, I can't stand...

Cloudy days don't the sun ever shine anymore?
Stormy weather will you always be around?
When I'm down, I can't stand cloudy days

Stormy weather will you always be around?
When I'm down, I can't stand cloudy days

New Fool lyrics - alison krauss

Sad songs and teardrops will surely mend this broken heart
Time forgets these bitter things I feel
But your days are numbered
You'll learn your lesson well
When you finally play a heart that plays for real

There's a new fool somewhere waiting
For your old fashion heartbreak love affair
She'll see through your intentions
With each lie that you tell
And the old ways will go out with the new some way

Leaving was so easy
But old hands do make fancy moves
And I for one fell victim to your game
But someday, you'll see that cold hearts can be broken too
What goes round must come around your way

There's a new fool somewhere waiting
For your old fashion heartbreak love affair
She'll see through your intentions
With each lie that you tell
And the old ways will go out with the new some way

Shield Of Faith lyrics - alison krauss

Sometimes I'm battle weary
I forget to use my shield
The arrows pierce my armor
And I stumble in the filed

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

I'll think my life is over
But the Lord he comes to me
He heals my wounded spirit
And he sets me on my feet

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Sometimes your battle weary
But the war's already won
Keep your head and hold your shield high
'Til your days of life are done

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Lose Again lyrics - alison krauss

Save me, free me from my heart this time
Train's going down the track and I stay behind

Nothing can free me from this ball and chain
I made up my mind that I would live today
And you're keeping me going, I know it's insane
Cause I love you, and lose again

When the heart calls, the mind obeys
And it knows better than me
Hold on one more day and maybe he'll be true

Nothing can free me from this ball and chain
I made up my mind that I would live today
And you're keeping me going, I know it's insane
Cause I love you, and I'll lose again

Save me, free me from my heart this time
Train's going down the track and I stay behind

Nothing can free me from this ball and chain
I made up my mind that I would live today
And you're keeping me going, I know it's insane
Cause I love you, and I'll lose again

Another Day, Another Dollar lyrics - alison krauss

Another day, another dollar
That's what I'm working for today
Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

I'm just trying to make a living
Working jobs that I enjoy
But it ain't easy finding something
For this lonesome-hearted boy

Another day, another dollar
That's what I'm working for today
Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

You know my life is like a highway
Just too many roads to take
You know I'll try to take the right one
Just gets harder every day

Another day, another dollar
That's what I'm working for today
Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

Another day, another dollar
That's what I'm working for today, hey
Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

Jesus Help Me To Stand lyrics - alison krauss

Through trials, troubles and care
I know Jesus my savior is there
Giving me faith through darkest days
Keeping me on the narrow way

Jesus savior, help me each day
Fill me with hope, fill me with faith
Darkness retreats at the touch of Your hand
Jesus savior, help me to stand

Jesus lived through darkest pain
Rejected by men, despising the shame
Man of sorrows, acquainted with grief
He gave his life so we may be free

Jesus savior, help me each day
Fill me with hope, fill me with faith
Darkness retreats at the touch of Your hand
Jesus savior, help me to stand

I know that Jesus died for me
Cancelled my debt at Calvary
Rose from the dead, unlocked Heaven's door
Trust in his love and live evermore

Jesus savior, help me each day
Fill me with hope, fill me with faith
Darkness retreats at the touch of Your hand
Jesus savior, help me to stand

"I've Got That Old Feeling" (1990)



I've Got That Old Feeling lyrics - alison krauss

No matter what I say or do,
I just can't seem to get inside your heart
What have I done wrong?
Lately you're so far away,
You just don't seem to hold me like you used to
Something's going on

I've got that old feeling, you're leaving
I'm so tired of goodbye
I can't wait on your love forever
While you change your mind

Morning finds us face to face
I feel you staring through me while I'm talking
Familiar looks I recognize the same old looks that said goodbye the last time
Something I'm used to

I've got that old feeling, you're leaving
I'm so tired of goodbye
I can't wait on your love forever
While you change your mind

Dark Skies lyrics - alison krauss

I don't need a perfect lover to hold me in the rain
Someone to ease my pain when I feel blue
If I lost you to another, think I'd drown out here for sure
Won't you stay with me and be my only cure?

Dark skies may cloud my day
But that don't bother me
As long as I can hold you close to me

I don't need a part time lover to leave me in the cold
With empty arms to hold when I need you
Tell me that there is no other, send the cold wind from my door
Give you all my love and more if you want me to

Dark skies may cloud my day
But that don't bother me
As long as I can hold you close to me

Wish I Still Had You lyrics - alison krauss

Walking out on me must be the way you show me how it feels to be her
I realize the fault is mine, I'm getting everything that I deserve

It's over and older the tears seem much colder
Sunshiney days seem to be so blue
It's over and older the tears seem much colder
Each passing day I wish I still had you

My troubles would be all over now if I could only get you off my mind
And I would give a fortune now if I could only hold you one more time

It's over and older the tears seem much colder
Sunshiney days seem to be so blue
It's over and older the tears seem much colder
Each passing day I wish I still had you

Endless Highway lyrics - alison krauss

Endless highway, as far as I can see
The road'll take me back to him tonight
It's been so long since I've seen him smile
I'll be counting all the miles 'til I get home

How many hours 'til I hold him?
How many days before we hit the road again?
Endless highway, he don't know how much I miss him
Heading down this road, bound for Tennessee

Lonesome feeling, deep inside my heart
Longing for this weary night to end
I'll think about him, try to keep my tired eyes open
Come the morning light, I'll be back home again

How many hours 'til I hold him?
How many days before we hit the road again?
Endless highway, he don't know how much I miss him
Heading down this road, bound for Tennessee

[repeat chorus]

Winter Of A Broken Heart lyrics - alison krauss

Oh it seems the sun will never shine
The skies are so gray and the heart you left broken is lonely
The winter wind blows through the trees and with the song I sing
I long for the days you loved me only

Sorrow lingers, shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart

Oh the nights will never be the same as when the love was new
Young hearts so tender in their yearning
But seasons, change and lovers too
And winter's twice as cold
But the fire in one heart is always burning

Sorrow lingers, shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart

Though a million hours pass the time and lonely is the pain
And what was love is just a spell that's broken
So blow the wind and freeze the rain and try like lover's do
Seems our hearts have never really spoken

Sorrow lingers, shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart

It's Over lyrics - alison krauss

The nights are so lonely and the days pass me by
True love has faded, left me behind
So we'll just move along and stop wasting time
It's over all over now

It's over, end of the line
It's over and your doin' fine
It's over and over and over, I'm asking why
You're leaving it's over now

Gone are the love songs that only we knew
Robbed by the cold wind that sings the night through
Gone is the sweet love, tried but untrue
It's over all over now

It's over, end of the line
It's over and my desperate heart is still trying to find some way, hoping you'll stay
Cause it's over, all over now
It's over, all over now

Will You Be Leaving lyrics - alison krauss

You may walk away in anger
Wear your heart upon your sleeve
You make act like it don't matter
Keep me laughing while you leave
But burning bridges won't get me back
If you change your mind some day
Why can't we turn this scene around
Before you walk away?

Will you be leaving, leaving me today?
Like the ocean leaves us waiting on the sand
Crumbling in our hand
I can't live this scene again

You may turn away in silence
While the tears run down your face
Say there's nothing left to bind us
Leaving love without a trace
But if I loved you well
You'd soon find out why your new love falls some day
Why can't we burn this heartache down
before you walk away?

Will you be leaving, leaving me today?
Like the ocean leaves us waiting on the sand
Crumbling in our hand
I can't live this scene again

Will you be leaving, leaving me today?
Like the ocean leaves us waiting on the sand
Crumbling in our hand
I can't live this scene again

Steel Rails lyrics - alison krauss

Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause I'm Looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back

It's not the first time I've found myself alone and known
If I really had you once, then I'd have you when I'm gone
Whistle blows, blowin' lonesome in my mind
Calling me along that never ending metal line

Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause I'm Looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back

Sun is shining, through the open boxcar door
Lying in my mind with the things I've known before
I've lost count of the hours, days, and nights
The rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind

Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause I'm Looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back

Cause I'm Looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back

One Good Reason 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

That Makes One Of Us lyrics - alison krauss

You've made up your mind
We don't want the same thing
And that we won't change things
Wishing there were ways
And there's no use staying together
Nothing lasts forever
That's what you say

And that makes one of us not in love
And that makes one of us who can't give up
If you can walk away from the life we've made
Then that makes one of us

I still believe we've got something worth saving
I keep hoping and praying for another chance
You've held my heart and your gonna break it
Cause you wanna make it
A part of your past

And that makes one of us not in love
And that makes one of us who can't give up
If you can walk away from the life we've made
Then that makes one of us

Then that makes one of us

Longest Highway lyrics - alison krauss

Lost in the silence
Surrounded by daydreams
Holding that someone that's holding my heart
Thrilled with the memory
Of the smile that you gave me
Gives a close feeling
Though we're far apart

The longest highway runs between us
Though you're just a heartbeat away
When I think of you, my heart knows no difference
I've got you with me every day

If I could be anywhere
I'd truly be with you
Then once feel the embrace of your hand in mine
The longest highway
Can sure seem forever
Through every daydream
I feel closer each time

The longest highway runs between us
Though you're just a heartbeat away
When I think of you, my heart knows no difference
I've got you with me every day

"Two Highways" (1989) (as Alison Krauss & Union Station)



Two Highways lyrics - alison krauss

Two highways lay before me, which one will I choose
Down one lane I'd find happiness and down the other I would lose
There is no one that I can trust, I must decide alone
My decision is an awful one, which road will take me home

In the mornin' would I wake to find, down the wrong road I have gone
Will I hear the melodies I've searched for oh so long
Only time will tell if I have made a loser's choice
And though sadness cries my inner soul, goodbye lover moans my voice

Perils, there are many, as I set out on my way
If I lose your love I know that I can call it back someday
Rambler, lonely rambler, just 'cause anyplace is home
Nashville, lights how you have always shined

Wishing now that you had found a word or two to say
But the mornin' came and we both knew my eyes gave it away
As I kissed your cheeks and said goodbye I thought only time will tell
And you can't draw water from an empty well

In the mornin' would I wake to find, down the wrong road I have gone
Will I hear the melodies I've searched for oh so long
Only time will tell if I have made a loser's choice
And though sadness cries my inner soul, goodbye lover moans my voice

I'm Alone Again lyrics - alison krauss

"I'm Alone Again"

What a gray, cloudy mornin' I rise from my bed
And I wonder if he meant all the things that he said
Well I think of all the good times, but the bad times came along
Now it doesn't matter 'cause he's gone.

Now I'm alone again, I cry in my sleep
I wonder why he left, his love I tried to keep
I don't understand him and I guess I never will
He could always make my heart stand still

He may not have loved me, or cared for me at all
But through all the teardrops, he sure made me fall
And when we were together, my world was in a spin
I will never love him again

Now I'm alone again, I cry in my sleep
I wonder why he left, his love I tried to keep
I don't understand him and I guess I never will
He could always make my heart stand still
Yes he could always make my heart stand still

Wild Bill Jones lyrics - alison krauss

As I went now for to take a little walk,
I came upon that Wild Bill Jones
He was a'walkin' and a'talkin' by my true lover's side
And I bid him to leave her alone

He said my age is 21, too old to be controlled
I pulled my revolver from my side,
And I destroyed that poor boy's soul

He reeled and he staggered and he fell to the ground
And then he gave one dying moan
He wrapped his arms around my little girl's neck,
Sayin' "Honey won't ya take me home?"

So put them handcuffs on me boys,
And lead me to that freight-car gate
I have no friends or relations there,
No one for to go my bail

So pass around that ole long-neck bottle
And we'll all go on a spree:
Today saw the last of Wild Bill Jones,
And tomorrow'll be the last of me.

Heaven's Bright Shore lyrics - alison krauss

Out on the hills of glory land
So happy and free at God's right hand
They tell of a place of marvelous grace
On heaven's bright shore
Pilgrims on earth someday will go
To live in that home forever more
Trusting in Him who died for sin,
And rose from the grave

On heaven's bright shore (on heaven's bright shore),
There's gonna be no more dyin' (over there)
Not one little grave (not one little grave),
In all that fair land (that wonderful land).
Not even a tear will dim the eye,
and no one up there will say goodbye
Just singing His praise through endless days
on Heaven's bright shore (on heaven's bright shore)

When I must cross that rolling tide,
There'll be someone on the other side
Welcoming me to that fair land, made perfect by love
When I walk up the milky white way,
I'll see that home coming in a ray
How great it must be for angels to see
A pilgrim reach home

On heaven's bright shore (on heaven's bright shore),
There's gonna be no more dyin' (over there)
Not one little grave (not one little grave),
In all that fair land (that wonderful land)
Not even a tear will dim the eye,
And no one up there will say goodbye
Just singing His praise through endless days
On Heaven's bright shore

Just singing His praise through endless days
On Heaven's bright shore

Love You In Vain lyrics - alison krauss

I'm waiting tonight, for you to tell me,
Do you still love me and will you remain?
My heart is breakin' with each passing hour
Please don't let me love you in vain

I used to think your love would always save me
And that you'd always stay right by my side
But I can see a change comin' over you
And the tears I cry just can't hide

No, I'm waiting tonight for you to tell me,
Do you still love me and will you remain?
My heart is breakin' with each passing hour
Please don't let me love you in vain

I can't pretend that love is just a pastime
And that you never meant a thing to me
So darlin, please don't leave me all alone,
Surrounded by your memory

I'm waiting tonight, for you to tell me,
Do you still love me and will you remain?
My heart is breakin' with each passing hour
Please don't let me love you in vain

So please don't let me love: you in vain

Here Comes Goodbye lyrics - alison krauss

I can hear those lonesome midnight sighs in your sleep
I can hear the freight train's whistle cry, it's tellin' me
It's telling me, oh darlin' can't you see
Here comes that same old line, here comes goodbye

Here comes goodbye, tonight
Put a hold on all your lies, it's just not right
It comes as no surprise, this time
Any fool would realize, here comes goodbye

Better take some time to talk it over again with me
Better get all your things together now if you leave
It's killin' me, oh darlin' can't you see
Here comes that same old line, here comes goodbye

Here comes goodbye, tonight
Put a hold on all your lies, it's just not right
It comes as no surprise, this time
Any fool would realize, here comes goodbye

I can hear your footsteps movin' slowly across my floor
I can see your shadow look back at me outside my door
What'cha waitin' for? Oh darlin' I know for sure
Here comes that same old line, here comes goodbye

Here comes goodbye, tonight
Put a hold on all your lies, it's just not right
It comes as no surprise, this time
Any fool would realize, here comes goodbye

Any fool would realize, here comes goodbye

As Lovely As You lyrics - alison krauss

The big moon is risin' so bright in the sky
But it won't shine brighter than the stars in your eyes
It rises above me so bright and so blue
And I won't see anyone, as lovely as you

Take me into the night,
Past these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you, more than I could show you
More than I could know, in my heart

So lay down beside me and hold me tonight
For your love has found me and it feels so right
These thoughts in my mind are so scattered and few
And I won't see anyone as lovely as you

Take me into the night,
Past these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you, more than I could show you
More than I could know

Take me into the night,
Past these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you, more than I could show you
More than I could know, in my heart
In my heart

Lord Don't Forsake Me lyrics - alison krauss

Oh my Lord, Please don't forsake me
This is your child, I'm tired and sore
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need your love; my soul is poor

I can hear, the angels singing
I can see those pearly gates
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need a place where I can rest

Oh my Lord, I can't remember
When I first said, "Come in my life,"
For I have lived my life in darkness,
My whole world is filled with strife

I can hear, the angels singing
I can see those pearly gates
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need a place where I can rest

I can hear, the angels singing
I can see those pearly gates
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need a place where I can rest

Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need a place where I can rest.

Teardrops Will Kiss The Morning Dew lyrics - alison krauss

When time was young we walked the roads together
When love was sweet I meant the world to you
Now comes the sun we'll say goodbye forever
And teardrops will kiss the morning dew

Take me and make me your lover one more time
Close in your arms as before
'Til o'er your shoulder the early morning shines
Then I'll leave you and grieve you no more

When time was young we walked the roads together
When love was sweet I meant the world to you
Now comes the sun we'll say goodbye forever
And teardrops will kiss the morning dew

Daises need sunshine and roses need rain
So it was all meant to be
A wild bird needs wings, free to take to the wind
And so it was meant for you and me

When time was young we walked the roads together
When love was sweet I meant the world to you
Now comes the sun we'll say goodbye forever
And teardrops will kiss the morning dew

Teardrops will kiss the morning dew

Midnight Rider lyrics - alison krauss

I got to run to keep in hidin'
And I'm bound to go on ridin'
I've got one more silver dollar
I ain't gonna let 'em catch me Lord
I aint' gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider

I don't own the clothes I'm wearin'
Some old bed I'll soon be sharin'
I got one more silver dollar
I ain't gonna let 'em catch me Lord
I aint' gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider

I got past the point of carin'
And the road goes on forever
I got one more silver dollar
I ain't gonna let 'em catch me Lord
I aint' gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me Lord
I aint' gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me Lord
I aint' gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me Lord
I aint' gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider

"Too Late To Cry" (1987)



Too Late To Cry lyrics - alison krauss

Sitting all alone with my whisky on ice,
I wonder why he's not with me tonight.
If the rain be on tonight then I won't sleep.
I'm haunted by this loneliness I keep.

And it's too late to cry cause we left it all behind,
Too late to cry cause there's nothing left defied.
You won't get more than you're living for,
And it's too late to cry tonight.

It doesn't seem much point in us carrying on,
We pretend to cry but the feelings are gone.
I hear the death man has lost his mate,
The silence that follows him tells me about our fate.

And it's too late to cry cause we left it all behind,
Too late to cry cause there's nothing left defied.
You won't get more than you're living for,
And it's too late to cry tonight.

Empty glass before me tells the story in my eyes,
The dimness it has giving me won't let me realize.
That love is more or less the state of mind we go through,
with no guarantee to what it holds me or you.

And it's too late to cry cause we left it all behind,
Too late to cry cause there's nothing left defied.
You won't get more than you're living for,
And it's too late to cry tonight.

Foolish Heart lyrics - alison krauss

I think I'll take my foolish heart, my friend, and head right for the door.
There'll be a better world waitin' if I do.
'Cause I know I've been down this road a time or two before,
The only time I let my heart turn to you.

Now, I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true.
I'll take my heart, and head right for the door.

Still somethin' deep inside keeps tellin' me to make the sacrifice,
And askin' me to walk the extra mile.
I've walked it now to many times with freedom for the price.
Too many times to fight back tears behind my smiles.

Now, I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true.
I'll take my heart, and head right for the door.

I know I must seem quite unkind to wander off tonight
And leave the moon up above to hold your gaze.
It's only that my foolish heart is bound with foolish pride.
Maybe some day I'll see the sunshine upon your face.

Now I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true.
I'll take my heart, and head right for the door.

I'll take my heart, and head right for the door...

Song For Life lyrics - alison krauss

I don't drink as much as I used to
Lately, it just ain't my style
And hard times don't last like they used to
They pass quicker, like when I was a child.

[Chorus:]
Somehow I've learned how to listen
To a sound like the sun going down
And the magic the morning is bringing home
A song for a life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground

[Solo]

The midsummer days sit so heavy
But don't they blow like a breeze through your mind
When nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for someone's lost time

[Chorus]

If I Give My Heart lyrics - alison krauss

If I give my heart to you tonight
Will you still be by my side?
Or will you be gone with the morning sun
Like a restless bird in flight?

Take me in your arms
Let the love you seek
Wash away your sorrow,
Let the morning be ours to keep.

And if I should tell you of the love that I feel
Will you still be there for me
Or will I awake to a faded love searching for freedoms gain

Take me in your arms
Let the love you seek
Wash away your sorrow,
Let the morning be ours to keep.

Take me in your arms
Let the love you seek
Wash away your sorrow,
Let the morning be ours to keep.

If I give my heart to you tonight
Will you still be by my side?
Or will you be gone with the morning sun
Like a bird who yearns to fly?

In Your Eyes lyrics - alison krauss

In your eyes, I see gentle rain
Springtime comes, in love again
puts me back on my feet again
and in your eyes, i feel no pain

and in my mind, I saw love walk past
a lovers dream within my grasp
I never knew I could fall so fast
but in your eyes I found love at last

I found your love waiting at my door,
I found a dream come true
I've never known a love like this before
and if you take me there, I'll be waiting for you

I found your love waiting at my door,
I found a dream come true
I've never known a love like this before
and if you take me there, I'll be waiting for you

In your eyes, I see gentle light
it gives me hope, it gives me life
it gives me love when I hold you tight
and in your eyes I found love tonight
and in your eyes I found love tonight

Don't Follow Me lyrics - alison krauss

When I step on board that big jet plane
I'll be leaving our love behind
I hope its wings will carry me somewhere
I can mend this heart of mine

[CHORUS]
So don't follow me, don't follow me
I'm bound to a place I can't recall
I feel the big jet slice through midnight skies
I'll search for the answers alone
And wait for the time to go home

Hear the wind outside, blowin' loud & strong
Hear the mighty engines moan
I'll be far from here when the sun comes up
And a love that has grown ??

[CHORUS]

I feel the wheels touch down as I awake from a dream I left with you
I hope a better day will find us soon
The love that we thought to be true

[CHORUS]

Gentle River lyrics - alison krauss

I've lived a life full of sorrow
With no where to run or to hide
Happiness you'll see is borrowed
All I want is you by my side

[Chorus:]
Gentle river take me away
to the time of happier days
All I need is love and company
Gentle river bring him back to me

You can spend all your time a'cryin
Listen here I don't need your sympathy
Cause I've made my life to live it
All I need is you here with me...

[Chorus]

Gentle river bring em' back to me

On The Borderline lyrics - alison krauss

There's a chill on this evening, nights right for greaving,
Darkness surrounds him as he wanders alone
He walked past the dim lights, the pathways and street lights
They remind him, of nights long ago,
When his love was strong and his muscles hard, His whiskey throat was barley marred,
Seeking misfortune in the lies that he told, Then a brokin heart bought him to his knees,
In the hour of his greatest need, Lost and forsaken by the love, he could not hold

[Chorus:]
On the Border line of love again, Its bound to make you pay
On the Border line, we'll make our stand, Then watch it fall away

And he stands in quiet solitude, The nights reflects upon his mood,
Seeking the vision that had once been so clear, When he felt the touch of his women's love
His pounding heart was warm and young, Now locked inside him with his anger and fear

As he moves on slowly, past the trees, Down the path way home through fallen leaves
He can't believe, how he'd sunken so low, So he learned to live with his injured pride
His purple heart hidden, deep inside, The only reward, for a love he could not hold

[Chorus 2x]

Sleep On lyrics - alison krauss

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
