Losing You lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Brenda Lee)

Don't sigh a sigh for me
Don't ever cry for me
This is goodbye from me
I know we're through
I'm losing you

Love sang it's song for me
Then things went wrong for me
Nights are too long for me
Because I'm looosing you

Our love... and our devotion
Were deep... as any ocean
Then one day, like the tide
You began to change
And you became... a perfect stranger

Someone is holding you
Sharing the lips I knew
I can't believe it's true
That I am looosing you

I can't believe it's true
That I am looosing... youuuu...

It's Goodbye And So Long To You lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by The Osborne Brothers & Mac Wiseman)

You can send me pretty flowers
You can send me valentines
Send me letters every day but it won't pay
Leap to my desires, nothing else will do
It's goodbye and so long to you!

You can hang around and love me
You can hang your head and cry
Hang my picture on the wall, but I won't fall
Kiss me when you're dreaming, no good that will do
It's goodbye and so long to you!

You can give me your affection
You can give me all your love
Give me all the things I crave, but I'll be brave
All the things you offer, make me sad and blue
It's goodbye and so long to you!

You can hang around and love me
You can hang your head and cry
Hang my picture on the wall, but I won't fall
Kiss me when you're dreaming, no good that will do
It's goodbye and so long to you!

You can call me your own darling
You can call me what you may
Call me on the telephone I won't be home
Keep your old love letters, I'm all through with you
It's goodbye and so long to you!

Windy City - Alison Krauss

(originally by The Osborne Brothers)

We came to big city, from our little country town
And every step he takes with you, is down
And you're as cold and heartless, as your chilling winds that blow
Before you freeze his heart, please let him go

Windy City; you're haunting my baby
With your bright lights and your avenues so wild
Windy City; turn loose of my baby
If you don't give him back, I'll lose my mind

At night I walk your sidewalks, and look in every bar
I love him even though, he's gone too far
Your swinging doors stay open, just to keep him from my side
And I'm on your lonely streets, again tonight

Windy City; you're haunting my baby
With your bright lights and your avenues so wild
Windy City; turn loose of my baby
And if you don't give him back, I'll lose my mind
If you don't give him back, I'll lose my mind...

I Never Cared For You lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Willie Nelson)

The sun is filled with ice, and gives no warmth at all
And the sky was never blue
The stars are raindrops searching, for a place to fall
And I never cared, for you

I know you won't believe these things I tell you
I know, you won't believe
Your heart has been forewarned all men will lie to you
And your mind, cannot conceive
Now all depends on, what I say to you
I know, you're doubting me
So I've prepared these statements far from true
Take heed, and disbelieve

The sun is filled with ice, and gives no warmth at all
The sky was never blue
Stars are raindrops searching, for a place to fall
And I, never cared for you

The sun is filled with ice, and gives no warmth at all
And the sky, was never blue
The stars are raindrops searching, for a place to fall
And I, never cared for you
And I, never cared for you
And I, never cared, for you...

River In The Rain lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Roger Miller)

River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away somewhere
River I love you don't you care

If you're on the run
Winding some place just tryin' to find the sun
Whether the sunshine whether the rain
River I love you just the same

But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand and your muddy bubbles
Roll across my floor
Carryin' away the things I treasure
Hell there ain't ain't no way to measure
Why I love you more than I did the day before

River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away from me
River I've never seen the sea

But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand and your muddy bubbles
Roll across my floor
Carryin' away the things I treasure
Hell there ain't ain't no way to measure
Why I love you more than I did the day before

River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away from me
River I've never seen the sea

Dream Of Me lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Vern Gosdin)

My life on the road, its been hard on me and you
Every time we say goodbye, it gets harder to do
But when I'm far away somewhere alone, and the missing you starts
All I got to do is picture you, and I can feel you in my heart

So dream of me
Every time you get to feeling blue
Dream of me
And I'll be dreaming of you

I've been a lot of places, but there's no place like home
And I'm on my way back to you, every minute that I'm gone
So when you get to feeling lonely, just remember we won't always be apart
Close your eyes and think of me, and you can feel me in your heart

So dream of me
Every time you get to feeling blue
Dream of me
And I'll, be dreaming of you

Dream of me
Every time you get to feeling blue
Dream of me
And I'll, be dreaming of you

Gentle On My Mind lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Glen Campbell)

It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch

And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried up on some line

That keeps you in the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
And keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit, together walking

It's just knowing that the world
Will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track and find

That you're moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's crying to her mother
'Cause she turned and you were gone

I still might run in silence
Tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind

But not to where I cannot see
You walking on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

You dip your cup of soup, back from a gurgling
Crackling caldron, in some train yard
Your beard a roughening coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across your face

Through cupped hands 'round the tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find

That you're waiting from the backroads
By the rivers of my memories
Ever smiling, ever gentle on my mind

All Alone Am I lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Brenda Lee)

All alone am I, ever since your goodbye
All alone, with just a beat of my heart
People all around, but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating, of my heart

No use in holding other hands!
For I'd be holding, only emptiness
No use in kissing other lips
For I'd be thinking, just of your caress

All alone am I, ever since your goodbye
All alone, with just a beat of my heart
People all around, but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating, of my heart

No other voice can say the words!
My heart must hear to ever sing again
The words you used to whisper low!
No other love can ev'r bring again

All alone am I, ever since your goodbye
All alone, with just a beat of my heart
People all around, but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating; of my heart!...

Poison Love lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Bill Monroe)

For your poison love has stained the life
But in my heart and soul dear
And I know my life, will never be the same
While my pleadings has all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And you know that you are guilty of the same

Into each life, a love is born
For one and one alone dear
The love I chose, was surely not for me
For your poison love, has stained the life
Blood in my heart and soul dear
And I know our love, was never meant to be

All your poison love has stained the life
But in my heart and soul dear
And I know my life, will never be the same
While my pleadings has, all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And you know that you are guilty of the same

But still my heart cries out for you
And you alone my darling
It makes me never ever let you go
But my pleadings has all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And my better judgement, tells me to say no

For your poison love has stained the life
But in my heart and soul dear
And I know my life, will never be the same
While my pleadings has all been in vain
For you and you alone dear
And you know that you are guilty of the same

You Don't Know Me lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Eddy Arnold)

You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
Ànd whoms to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
But you don't know me

For I never knew, the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance, that you might have loved me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
You watched me walk away
Beside my lucky guy
To never, never know
The one who loves you so
No you don't know me

For I never knew, the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance, that you might have loved me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
You watched me walk away
Beside my lucky guy
To never, never know
The one who loves you so
No; you don't; know me...

Make The World Go Away lyrics - Alison Krauss (feat. Jamey Johnson)

Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world go away

Do you remember when you loved me?
Before the world took me astray?
Well if you do, then forgive me
And make the world, go away

Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, go away

I'm so sorry, if I hurt you
I'll make it up, day by day
Just say you'll love me like you used to
And make the world, go away

Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world, go away

Say the things you used to say
And make the world, go away

Till I Can Gain Control Again lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Emmylou Harris)

Just like the sun over the mountain top
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning time
Like sunlight dancing on your skin

I've never gone so wrong as to telling lies to you
And what you've seen is what I've been
And there is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I can

Out on the road that leads before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Till I can gain control again

Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
Landmark the sailor's journeys end
No matter what seas I've have been sailing on
I'll always roll this way again

Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Till I can gain control again

Till I can gain control again

Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground lyrics - Alison Krauss

(originally by Willie Nelson)

If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground

And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around for a while
Trying to keep your spirits
And your fever down

I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer, to be found

So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Fly on, fly on past, the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up, than to see you down

So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground ...

Paper Airplane lyrics - Alison Krauss

I've put it all behind me
Nothing left to do or doubt
Some may say
But every silver lining always seems to have a cloud
That comes my way

Anticipated pleasure or unexpected pain
No choice I fear
And love is hard to measure hidden in the rain

That's why you'll find me here all alone and still wondering why
Waiting inside for the cold to get colder
And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time
Hoping to fly 'cause it's almost over now

People come together, people go their own way
Love conquers few
And I'll do whatever, I'll say what I need to say
Just not for you

How many days should I smile with a frown?
'Cause you're not around with the sun on your shoulders
And how many nights must I wake up alone?
And know in my soul that it's almost over now

Our love is like a paper airplane flying in the folded wind
Riding high, dipping low
But innocence is fair game, I'm hoping I can hold it in
Our love will die, I know

Dustbowl Children lyrics - Alison Krauss

My father’s name was Hannibal, Mama was Hanna-Mariah.
Everything we owned got all burned up in the great depression fire
Strip mines and one crop farming drained the green earth dry.
We lost it all till only love was left, and that was the one thing money can’t buy.

We’re all Dust Bowl Children
Singin’ the dust bowl song
Well, the crops won’t grow,
And the dust just blows
When the green fields are gone.
When the green grass growing fields are gone.
When the green fields are gone.
When the green grass growing fields are gone.

Well, they said in California, there’s work of every kind.
The only work that I got out there was waiting on a welfare line.
Once I had a dollar, once I had a dream.
Now all the work is being done by a big ole machine.

We’re all Dust Bowl Children
Singin’ the dust bowl song
And the crops won’t grow,
And the dust just blows
When the green fields are gone.
When the green grass growing fields are gone.
When the green fields are gone.
When the green grass growing fields are gone.

Lie Awake lyrics - Alison Krauss

I want to run away, don't come out lookin' round
Too busy dealing with it on my own
He's right behind me, please God I can't be found
Don't cast another stone

Feel I can wait until the sun rise
The city tells me not to go till dawn
And if he wakes, that's when my heart breaks
And I'm as good as gone

How do I lie awake now
When I know I've got to be moving on?
How do I lie awake now
When nothing's right and nothing's wrong?

And in the end, will we make amends?
Just like we're face-to-face, another dawn
And in the night or when the moon shines
Will you take me on home?

How do I lie awake now
When I know I've got to be moving on?
How do I lie awake now
When nothing's right and nothing's wrong?

How do I lie awake now
When I know I've got to be moving on?
How do I lie awake now
When nothing's right and nothing's wrong?

How do I lie awake now
When I know I've got to be moving on?
How do I lie awake now
When nothing's right and nothing's wrong?

Lay My Burden Down lyrics - Alison Krauss

Gonna lay my burden down
Lay my body in the ground
Cold clay against my skin
But I don't care at all

Can't seem to find my piece of mind
So with the earth I'll lay entwined
Six feet underground
My feet are warm and dry

When I get to the other side
I'll put your picture way up high
But I'm not coming back to you
It's just too far

If I was cast off on the sea
Would you come and look for me
Or would you just let me sink
Beneath the waves so blue

What if I had learned to fly
Fly all night till day drew night
Perch down upon a branch and
Scan the crowd for you

When I touch my feet on the land
I'll kiss your lips and take your hand
But you know I'm not here to stay
It's just too far

Darling can't you hear me cry
My bones are broke
My tongue is tied
The moon is swaying back and forth
Against the navy sky
Is all that I can see
My body's trembling on my knees
Just have a little mercy on me
Run away and hide

When I sleep the angels sing
But I cannot hear a thing
Eyes close
Dreaming of the better days gone by

When I wake the trumpets play
And I'm standing at the gates
Fall down and joy
I know my race has just been won

When I was young my mom would say
Well life is hard, but that's OK
If you can make it through the day
It's not that far
No, it's not that far

My Love Follows You Where You Go lyrics - Alison Krauss

More wishes than a thousand hearts can count for you
More smiles than a merry-go-round
The sweetest ending to a bed-time story told
My love follows you where you go

More laughter than a kindergarten out to play
One Sunday morning song that says it all
More summer than a California beach can hold
My love follows you where you go

Future like a promise, you're a city of Gold
Stubborn in your bones and Jesus in your soul
Seeing you stand there, staring at the unknown
I won't pretend that it's not killing me
Watching you walk away slow

Take forgiveness, take a prayer, take the deepest breath
Take the answers in your heart
When you wake up and the world is cruel and cold
My love follows you where you go

Future like a promise, you're a city of Gold
Stubborn in your bones and Jesus in your soul
Seeing you stand there, staring at the unknown
I won't pretend that it's not killing me
Watching you walk away slow

More freedom than a field of flowers in the wind
More beauty than a morning after rain
Up the steepest hill, a dark and crooked road
My love follows you where you go

Future like a promise, you're a city of Gold
Stubborn in your bones and Jesus in your soul
Seeing you stand there, staring at the unknown
I won't pretend that it's not killing me
Watching you walk away slow

Dimming Of The Day lyrics - Alison Krauss

This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day

You pulled me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side

What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day

Come the night you're only what I want
Come the night you could be my confidant

I see you on the street and in company
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
I'm living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day

I need you at the dimming of the day

On The Outside Looking In lyrics - Alison Krauss

You've closed a door in front of me
I wait patiently outside
And as the minutes tick away
I feel my anger rise

And who's the object of my rage?
And who's not being fair?
Is it you for your indifference?
Or me for just standing there?

'Cause in my mind the room beyond
is bathed in golden light
Well I dream about you through the day
and I toss and turn at night

Sometimes it's hard to understand
When they say that pride's a sin
Should I go or should I stay
on the outside looking in?

Well I didn't make the grade today
and I'm not the only one
But my heart won't stop hurting
my feeling all alone

And maybe we'll trade places
in some not so distant year
I'll hear your voice a-calling out
and I'd cover up my ears

'Cause in my mind the room beyond
is bathed in golden light
well I dream about you through the day
and I toss and turn at night

Well sometimes it's hard to understand
when they say that pride's a sin
An' should I go or should I stay
on the outside looking in?

well I could brag on the things I've done
or the places I have been
But I've never found a cure
for on the outside looking in

Sometimes it's hard to understand
when they say that pride's a sin
Should I go or should I stay
on the outside looking in?

Miles To Go lyrics - Alison Krauss

It's feelin' longer now than it ever has before
Another memory is another slammin' door
It's gettin' too dark now to see

Every photograph is another lesson learned
Every sleepless night is another page I've turned
I wake up to fallin' dreams

And the petals start to fade by the picket fences
Just another shade of miles and miles to go

If I had a chance, I must've missed it long ago
if I could run away, I wouldn't have to let you go
This angel's bound to stray

Like an hourglass, I'm a soul to sinkin' sand
You try to hold my heart and I will slip right through your hands
Time just blows away

And the petals start to fade by the picket fences
Just another shade of miles and miles to go
And the tears forever flow

And the petals start to fade by the picket fences
Just another shade of miles and miles to go
And this angel's bound to stray
It's another shade of miles and miles to go

Sinking Stone lyrics - Alison Krauss

I called you today
Wanting a change
I never meant to hurt anyone
Never meant for you to pull out your guns
But feelings won't stay
In this meager parade
You're beating to a different drum
In this lack of all the luster we've become

Save your breath
You know we've both
Tried our best
But it's leaving

This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
And I'm waving off the one
Who wouldn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
I'm untying this sinking stone...

Don't sit on the fence
Living past tense
Holding on to wishes and words
Folding out a picture we blur
Cause here in the end
I'm losing a friend
Fighting back a tear when it burns
Dividing up the pieces that we were

Save your breath
You know we've both
Tried our best
But it's leaving

This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
I'm waving off the one
Who wouldn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
I'm untying this sinking stone...

I can't say you're all alone
I'm accepting what I own
Here lies a blanket not a bandage

I'm unable to restrain
When the wake that we became
Is drawing me under

This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
I'm waving off the one
Who wouldn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on

This might as well be done
I'm falling with the sun
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
I'm waving off the one
Who wouldn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
I'm untying this sinking stone...

Bonita And Bill Butler lyrics - Alison Krauss

I grew up in the scantling yards of Wheeling West Virginia
A wheelhouse cub looking for an open door
In the packet ways a Sweeney wed the keel of my Bonita
Just two months from her timbers til she moored
I paid the fare in billet on her maiden voyage to Vicksburg
And talked my way to hand the tiller on the course
In her planks I carved a notch and sealed the vow “Be my Bonita”
And her dowry was my life between the shores

I was born with rouging ways, and she steered me like a woman
From the port calls and the bawds that lead me stray
The calliope serenades, made the old towns come running
And the boys would gamble shards to pull her chains
The striker’s boast would fain me loss, about the wrecks the shoals were keeping
And how the old girl’s got poor Billy’s ransom saved

On the lake at Bistineau, she set the wharf at Dixie
With a thousand bales of cotton on her main
As the great raft disappeared, the watermark went sinking
And she was stuck right hard, a listing on the bank
With the furnace still a blaze, I stood my last upon her
Then climbed the prow and took a landsman’s trade
“A derelict now Milady” said the watch log I’ve concorded
“Have the bosun sound us eight bells for the change”

Cause I was born with rouging ways, and she steered me like a woman
From the port calls and the bawds that lead me stray
The calliope serenades, made the old towns come running
And the boys would gamble shards to pull her chains
And I would take to wider walks, so the gin I stopped a drinking
At three scores aloft this crooked frame
The striker’s boast would fain me loss, about the wrecks the shoals were keeping
And how the old girl’s got poor Billy’s ransom saved

My Opening Farewell lyrics - Alison Krauss

My love stands before the open window
Staring so far away
He can almost feel the southern wind blow
Almost touching my restless days

He turns from the window to me
Sad smile his apology
Sad eyes reaching for the door

Daylight loses to another evening
And still he spares me the word goodbye
He sits alone beside me fighting his feelings
He struggles to speak but in the end I only cry

Suddenly it's so hard to find
The words that would help me speak my troubled mind
He’s offering these to me as if to be kind:
There is a train everyday leaving either way
There is a train everyday leaving either way
There is a world, you know
And there is a way to go
And we'll soon be gone, it's just as well
This is my opening farewell

A child's drawing is on the table
A woman's silk lying on the floor
And he would keep me here if I were able
And lock us safe behind this open door

But suddenly it's so clear to me
I've asked him to see what he may never see
Now his kind words find their way back to me
There is a train everyday leaving either way
There is a world, you know
And there is a way to go
And we'll soon be gone, it's just as well
This is my opening farewell

These Days lyrics - Alison Krauss


These days that I got
I can't be what I'm not
Sacrifices I made for you
And one mistake can go
Through this life so slow
Want to keep myself from making two

'Cause on this road less travelled on
On a way to somewhere
And will you miss me when I'm gone
I don't know where do I belong

And the sun will rise
And we'll open up our eyes
And see love showin' what's really true
And I would go so far
Just to be where you are
Take no time bringin' my heart to you

'Cause on this road less travelled on
On a way to somewhere
And will you miss me when I'm gone
I don't know where do I belong

Reaching out from within
Can't tell you where I'd been
Rememberin' something I was told
And it's called me to go
Find my way back home
Hearin' you singin' our favorite song

'Cause on this road less travelled on
On the way to somewhere
And will you miss me when I'm gone
I don't know where do I belong

A Place Outside lyrics - Alison Krauss

Leavin‘ on a ride
Take me to a place outside
Of this broken land
You just took me by the hand

Long storm hideaway
I can’t tell day to day
Blue and weary eyes
Something takes me by surprise
It’s movin’ in my soul
Love is there so I’ve been told
It’s movin’ inside me
Love is there so set me, set me free

Could you hold me back
When my heart’s under attack
There’s not much to lose
When it’s only us we choose
It’s movin’ in my soul
Love is there so I’ve been told
It’s movin’ inside me
Love is there so set me, set me free

One more time around
Look at all that we have found
Leavin’ on a ride
Take me to a place outside
It’s movin’ in my soul
Love is there so I’ve been told
It’s movin’ inside me
Love is there so set me, set me free

Frozen Fields lyrics - Alison Krauss

I walked alone the fence road
Thought of all the work I had to do
You jumped right into between my thoughts
Wouldn't that be just like you?
But all the fields are frozen
I was wondering where you are

Life goes by and met you [?]
Just like it does on New Year's day
There's a comfort in the good old times
You don't feel so far away

Could it you be you found yourself like this
And I just crossed your mind
You're wondering through the frozen fields
And the world stops soon or die
Oh, it wouldn't be long til summer comes
And these fields will be full and green

Life goes by and met you [?]
Just like it does on New Year's day
There's a comfort in the good old times
You don't feel so far away

I walked alone the fence road
Thought of all the work I had to do
You jumped right into between my thoughts
Wouldn't that be just like you?
But all the fields are frozen
I was wondering where you are

Life goes by and met you [?]
Just like it does on New Year's day
There's a comfort in the good old times
You don't feel so far away

Faraway Land (Live) lyrics - Alison Krauss

When years seem like days to me
No time on my hands
I run away to a place in me to a faraway land

When home seems so far from me
Heaven's lights grow dim
It's just as far as my deepest heart
Where my heart's father lives

His quiet voice speaking in silence every day
If I will only listen to the words he has to say
I'll walk in his spirit and see him in my face
I will live 'cause he will live in my place

When life seem so hard to bear
When shadows look real
The circumstance is your father's care
Don't find faith by what you feel
If you have been running too
Stop now in your tracks
Turn again to the one in you
And put your burden on his back

His quiet voice speaking in silence every day
If I will only listen to the words he has to say
I'll walk in his spirit and see him in your face
I will live 'cause he will live in my place

When years seem like days to me
No time on my hands
I run away to a place in me to a faraway land

Every Time You Say Goodbye (Live) 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

Down To The River To Pray lyrics - Alison Krauss

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way!

O sisters let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sisters let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe & crown?
Good Lord show me the way

O brothers let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
Come on brothers, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way

O fathers let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O fathers let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way

O mothers let's go down
Come on down, don't you wanna go down?
Come on mothers, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way

O sinners, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sinners, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way

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

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'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.

Killing The Blues lyrics - alison krauss

Leaves were falling, just like embers,
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes.

[Chorus:]
Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.

Now I'm guilty of something...
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Any sadder than losing yourself in love.

[Chorus]

And then you've ask me... just to leave you
To set out on my own
And get what I needed.
You want me to find what I've already had.

[Chorus 2x]

Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us lyrics - alison krauss

Strange things are happening everyday
I hear the music up above my head
Though the sight of my heart has left me again
I hear music up above

Secrets are written in the sky
Looks like I've lost the love I've never found
Though the sound of hope has left me again
I hear music up above

Standing in my broken heart all night long
Darkness held me like a friend when love wore off
Looking for the lamb that's hidden in the cross
The finder's lost
I know I loved you too much
I'll go alone to get through

I hear Rosetta singing in the night
Echos of light that shines like stars after they're gone
And tonight she's my guide as I go on alone
With the music up above

Polly Come Home lyrics - alison krauss

If the wild bird could speak
She'd tell of places you had been
She's been in my dreams
And she knows all the ways of the wind

[Chorus:]
Polly, come home again
Spread your wings to the wind
I felt much of the pain
As it begins

Dreams cover much time
Still they leave blind
The will to begin
I searched for you there
And now look for you from within

Through The Morning, Through The Night lyrics - alison krauss

Believe me when I tell you
I will try to understand
Belive me when I tell you
I could never kill a man

But to know that another man's holding you tight
Hurts me, little darling
Thru the morning thru the night

The bond has been broken
The promise you gave
The words that were spoken
I can not be your slave

But to know that the trust you had in me is gone
Hurts me, little darling
Thru the nightime thru the dawn

I dreamed just last night you were there by my side
Your sweet loving tenderness
Easing my pride

But then I awoke and found you not there
It was just my old memory of how much I care

Belive me when I tell you
I will try to understand
Belive me when I tell you
I could never kill a man

But to know that another man's holding you tight
Hurts me little, darling
Thru the morning thru the night

Please Read The Letter lyrics - alison krauss

Caught out running
With just a little too much to hide
Maybe baby
Everything's gonna work out fine
Please read the letter
I pinned it to your door
It's crazy how it all turned out
We needed so much more

Too late, too late
A fool could read the signs
Maybe baby
You'd better check between the lines
Please read the letter, I
Wrote it in my sleep
With help and consultation from
The angels of the deep

Once I stood beside a well of many words
My house was full of rings and
Charms and pretty birds
Please understand me, my
Walls come falling down
There's nothing here that's left for you
But check with lost and found

Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote

One more song just before we go
Remember baby
All the things
We used to know
Please read my letter
And promise you'll keep
The secrets and the memories and
Cherish in the deep

Ah...

Please read the letter that I wrote

Trampled Rose lyrics - alison krauss

Long way going to
Get my medicine
Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren

Piano from a window played
Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday

I found it in the street
At first I did not see
Lying at my feet
A trampled rose

Passing the hat in church
It never stops going around

You never pay just once
To get the job done

What I done to me,
I done to you
What happened to the trampled rose?

In the muddy street
With the fireworks and leaves

A blind man with a cup I asked
Would he sing 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine'

I know that rose,
Like I know my name
The one I gave my love,
It was the same
Now I find it in the street,
A trampled rose

Fortune Teller lyrics - alison krauss

Went to the fortune teller
To have my fortune read
I didn't what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

How could that be so?
I thought of all the girls I know.
She said when the next one arrives
That you'll be looking into her eyes

Left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next day I discovered
That the fortune teller told me a lie

I hurried back down to that woman
As mad as I could be
I said I didn't see nobody
Why had she made a fool out of me?

Then something struck me
As if it came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love

Now I'm a happy fellow
'Cause I'm married to the fortune teller
And I'm as happy as we can be
And now I get my fortune told for free

Stick With Me Baby lyrics - alison krauss

Everybody's been a-talkin'; they say our love wasn't real
That it would soon be over; that's not the way that I feel
But I don't worry, honey; let them say what they may
Come on and stick with me, baby; we'll find a way
Yes, we'll find a way

[Instrumental]

Everybody's been a-talkin'; yes, the news travels fast
They said the fire would stop burnin', that the flame wouldn't last
But I don't worry, honey; let them say what they may
Come on & stick with me, baby; we'll find a way
Yes, we'll find a way

[Repeat & fade:]
Come on and stick with me, baby

Nothin lyrics - alison krauss

Hey mama, when you leave
Don't leave a thing behind
I don't want nothin'
I can't use nothin'

Take care into the hall
And if you see my friends
Tell them I'm fine
Not using nothin'

Almost burned out my eyes
Threw my ears down to the floor
I didn't see nothin'
I didn't hear nothin'

I stood there like a block of stone
Knowin' all I had to know
And nothin' more
Man, that's nothin'

As brothers our troubles are
Locked in each others arms
And you better pray
They never find you

Your back ain't strong enough
For burdens doublefold
They'd crush you down
Down into nothin'

Being born is going blind
And buying down a thousand times
To echoes strung
On pure temptation

Sorrow and solitude
These are the precious things
And the only words
That are worth rememberin'

Your Long Journey lyrics - alison krauss

God's given us years of happiness here
Now we must part
And as the angels come and call for you
The pains of grief tug at my heart

Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey

Oh the days will be empty
The nights so long without you my love
And when god calls for you I'm left alone
But we will meet in heaven above

Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey

Fond memories I'll keep of happy ways
That on earth we trod
And when I come we will walk hand in hand
As one in heaven in the family of god

Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey

You're Just A Country Boy lyrics - alison krauss

Ain't gonna marry in the fall
Ain't gonna marry in the spring
For you're in love
With a pretty little girl
Who wears a diamond ring

You're just a country boy
Money have you none
But you've got silver
In the stars
Gold in the morning sun
Gold in the morning sun

Never gonna kiss the ruby red lips
Of the prettiest girl in town
Never gonna ask her if she'll marry you
She'd only turn you down

You're just a country boy
Money have you none
But you've got silver
In the stars
Gold in the morning sun
Gold in the morning sun

Never could afford a store bought ring
With a sparklin' diamond stone
All you could afford is a loving heart
The only one you own

You're just a country boy
Money have you none
But you've got silver
In the stars
Gold in the morning sun
Gold in the morning sun

Simple Love lyrics - alison krauss

Little yellow house sittin' on a hill
That is where he lived
That is where he died
Every Sunday morning
Hear the weeping willows cry

Two children born
A beautiful wife
Four walls and livin's all he needed in life
Always giving, never asking back
I wish I had a simple love like that

I want a simple love like that
Always giving, never askin' back
For when I'm in my final hour lookin' back
I hope I had a simple love like that

My momma was his only little girl
If he'd had the money he'd have given her the world
Sittin' on the front porch together they would sing
Oh how I long to hear that harmony

I want a simple love like that
Always giving never asking back
When I'm in my final hour looking back
I hope I had a simple love like that

I want a simple love like that
Always giving never asking back
When I'm in my final hour looking back
I hope I had a simple love like that

Jacob's Dream lyrics - alison krauss

In the spring of 1856 with the snow still on the ground
Two little boys were lost in the mountains above the town
The father went out hunting the boys had stayed behind
While mother tended to her chores they wandered from her side

The two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead
By dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread
200 men had gathered there to comb the mountain side
The fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they'd see the light

Oh mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries
The day is almost over, soon it will be night
We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore
We promise not to stray again from our cabin door

Now Jacob Diverd woke one night from a strange and erie dream
He saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream
He told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log
For two more nights the dream returned this vision sent from God

Oh mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries
The day is almost over, soon it will be night
We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore
We promise not to stray again from our cabin door

a thousand men had searched in vain the west side of pop's creek
But Jacob's wife knew of this place and said to travel east
With a guide to take him there, Jacob came upon the scene
And found the boys cold and still beneath the old birch tree

Oh mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry
We're both up in Heaven now, God is by our side
As you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord
Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door

Oh mommy and daddy, look past the tears you cry
We're both up in Heaven now, God is by our side
And as you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord
Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door

Away Down The River lyrics - alison krauss

Baby dry your eyes
There's no need to cry
Cause I'll see you again
It might be a while
Before you understand

[Chorus:]
I'm just away down the river
A hundred miles or more
Crossing over Jordan
To the other shore
I'll be standing waiting
With all who've gone before
I'm just away down the river
A hundred miles or more

Now the pictures on the wall
Will help you to recall
They're not there
To make you sad
But to remember
All the good times we had

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

When it's time to leave
You're gonna feel the mountain breeze
And the snow will fill the stream
And carry you to me

[Chorus]

Sawing On The Strings lyrics - alison krauss

Way back in the mountains
Way back in the hills
There used to live a mountianeer
They called him fiddlin' Will
He could play most anything
And some say he could sing
But the one thing that he liked to do best
Was sawing on the strings

So get out the fiddle
And rosin up the bow
Look at ol' Will a pattin' his toe
we'll make music til the rafters ring
All that pickin' and a sawin on the string

When the neighbors had a shindig
And they all had viddles to eat
We'd always have to wait on Will
To make the frolic complete
When he comes down from the mountain
All the gals began to sway
Sometimes he'd pick that ol' 5 string
Until the break of day

So tune up the 5 string
Tighten up the hyde
Tell all the hill folks to get inside
All them pickin' and a sawing on the string

So tune up the 5 string
Tighten up the hyde
Tell all the hill folks to get inside
All them pickin' and a sawing on the string

Baby Mine lyrics - alison krauss

Baby mine, don't you cry.
Baby mine, dry your eyes.
Rest your head close to my heart,
never to part,
baby of mine.

Little one when you play,
don't you mind what they say.
Let those eyes sparkle and shine,
never a tear,
baby of mine.

If they knew sweet little you
they'd end up loving you two.
All of those people who scold you
what they'd give just for the right to hold you.

From your head down to your toes,
you're not much, goodness knows.
But you're so precious to me,
sweet as can be,
baby of mine.

If they knew sweet little you,
they'd end up loving you too.
All those same people who scold you,
what they'd give just for the right to hold you.

From your head down to your toes
you're not much, goodness knows.
But you're so precious to me,
sweet as can be,
baby of mine.
Baby of mine

Molly Bán (Bawn) lyrics - alison krauss

Come all ye young fellas
That handle a gun
Beware of night rambling
By the setting of the sun
And beware of an accident
That happened of late
To young Molly Ban
And sad was her fate

She was going to her uncles
When a shower came on
She went under a green bush
The shower to shun

Her white apron wrapped around her
He took her for a swan
But a hush and sigh
Was his own Molly Ban

He quickly ran to her
And found she was dead
And there on her bosom
Where he soaked, tears he shed

He ran home to his father
With his gun in his hand
Saying "Father dear father
I have shot Molly Ban"

Her white apron wrapped around her
He took her for a swan
But a hush and a sigh
'Twas his own Molly Ban

He roamed near the place
Where his true love was slain
He wept bitter tears
But his cries were in vain
As he look on the lake
A swan glided by
And the sun slowly sank
In the gray up sky

How's The World Treating You (feat. James Taylor) lyrics - alison krauss

I've had nothing but sorrow
Since you said we were through
There's no hope for tomorrow
How's the world treating you
Every sweet thing that matters
Has been broken in two
All my dreams have been shattered
How's the world treating you
Got no plans for next Sunday
Got no plans for today
Every day is blue Monday
Every day you're away
Tho' our pathways have parted
To your memory I'm true
Guess I'll stay broken hearted
How's the world treating you
Do you wonder about me
Like I'm hoping you do
Are you lonesome without me
Have you found someone new
Are you burning and yearning
Do you ever get blue
Do you think of returning
How's the world treating you

The Scarlet Tide lyrics - alison krauss

Well I recall his parting words
Must I accept his fate
Or take myself far from this place
I thought I heard a black bell toll
A little bird did sing
Man has no choice
When he wants every thing

We'll rise above the scarlet tide
That trickles down through the mountain
And separates the widow from the bride

Man goes beyond his own decision
Gets caught up in the mechanism
Of swindlers who act like kings
And brokers who break everything
The dark of night was swiftly fading
Close to the dawn of day
Why would I want him just to lose him again

We'll rise above the scarlet tide
That trickles down through the mountain
And separates the widow from the bride

Whiskey Lullaby (feat. Brad Paisley) lyrics - alison krauss

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

[1st Chorus]
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

[Sing lullaby]

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night

[2nd Chorus]
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

You Will Be My Ain True Love lyrics - alison krauss

You'll walk unscathed through musket fire,
No ploughman's blade will cut thee down,
No cutless wound will mark thy face
And you will be my ain true love,
And you will be my ain true love

And as you walk through death's dark veil,
The cannon's thunder can't prevail,
And those who hunt thee down will fail,
And you will be my ain true love,
And you will be my ain true love.

Asleep inside the cannon's mouth,
The captain cries, "Here comes the rout,"
They'll seek to find me north and south,
I've gone to find my ain true love.

The field is cut and bleeds to red.
The cannon balls fly round my head,
The infirmary man may count me dead,
When I've gone to find my ain true love,
I've gone to find my ain true love

I Give You To His Heart lyrics - alison krauss

The wind is blowing down the quiet river,
a shining road that carries you alone.
Baby boy my love will last forever.
If you're to live, I must give you up to God.

I know our God will guide, protect and keep you.
Teach you faith and hold you by the heart.
Though your mother's heart is broken by your leaving,
her Father knows just who he is and who you are.

I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way,
with Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay.
But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part.
You must live.
So I give you to his heart.

The wind is blowing down the silent river,
a shining road that leaves me all alone.
A life for you's worth losing you forever.
Some day we'll stand in God's fair land, forever home.

I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way,
with Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay.
But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part.
You must live.
So I give you to his heart.

I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way,
with Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay.
But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part.
You must live.
So I give you to his heart.

Get Me Through December lyrics - alison krauss

How pale is the sky that brings forth the rain
As the changing of seasons prepares me again
For the long bitter nights and the wild winter's day
My heart has grown cold my love stored away
My heart has grown cold my love stored away

I've been to the mountain left my tracks in the snow
Where souls have been lost and the walking wounded go
I've taken the pain no girl should endure
Faith can move mountains of that I am sure
But faith can move mountains of that I am sure

Just get me through December
A promise I'll remember
Get me through December
So I can start again

No divine purpose brings freedom from sin
And peace is a gift that must come from within
I've looked for the love that will bring me to rest
Feeding this hunger beating strong in my chest
Feeding this hunger beating strong in my chest

Get me through December
A promise I'll remember
Get me through December
So I can start again

Missing You (feat. John Waite) lyrics - alison krauss

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What I might say
There's a message
In the wild
And I'm sending you
this signal tonight
You don't know
How desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world
I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard
to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
And there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
Ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself
Ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
Ain't missing you
Oh no
No matter what my friends might say
I ain't missing you
