Fly away with me tonight
Take me on a one-way flight in your lovin' arms and ev'rything's gonna be alright You're the one who took my hand when no one else could understand You're the one who moves me like nobody else can Take me down where I wanna be Turn around, this man who lives inside of me Take me down and love me all night long Hold me close and make me strong Take me down. Take me down tonight In your eyes I see the light It's your emotions glowin' bright So keep the fires burnin', and let it warm me through the night You can be a part of me, 'cause you're what love was meant to be You and me, baby, we'll set the flame inside free You don't have to stay forever Let's just put our hearts together, share another night in ecstasy We know that it's feelin' better ev'ry time we get together Maybe love was meant for you and me Whoa, take me down where I wanna be Turn around, this man who lives inside of me Take me down and love me all night long Hold me close and make me strong Take me down ... Take me down tonight |

I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you
Every thunder cloud that came was one more I might not get through On the darkest day there's always light and now I see it too But I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you I hear it falling in the night and filling up my mind All the heaven's rivers come to light and I see it all unwind I hear it talking through the trees and on the window pane when I hear it I just can't believe I never liked the rain Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you Liked the rain always calling for you I'm falling for you now Just like the rain When the cloud is rolling over thunder striking me It's as bright as lightning and I wonder why I couldn't see That it's always good and when the flood is gone we still remain Guess I've known all along I just belong here with you falling Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you Liked the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now Just like the rain I have fallen for you I'm falling for you know just like the rain And when the night falls on our better days And we're looking to the sky For the winds to take us high above the plains I know that we'll find better ways to look into the eye of the storms that will be calling Forever we'll be falling Like the rain I have fallen for you, and I know just why you Like the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now just Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you Like the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now just Like the rain |

How can we know how far
The long way can be? Looking from where we are It never seemed that long to me I've many miles behind me Maybe not so much ahead It seems I made good time With the directions I misread So I'm gonna spend my time Like it's going out of style I'm moving the bottom line Farther than a country mile I still have hills to climb Before I hit that wall No matter how much time I buy I can never spend it all Funny thing, that time We're always running out I'm always losing mine There's not enough of it about An' though it's always here It will always come and go The days become the years That'll be gone before you know So I'm gonna spend my time Like it's going out of style I'm moving the bottom line Better than a country mile I still have hills to climb Before I hit that wall I won't go quietly into that dark night There'll be no more burnin' daylight I'll be living in Every moment that I'm in Oh,I'm gonna spend my time Like it's going out of style I'll only use what's mine I've been savin' for a while I still have hills to climb Before I hit that wall No matter how much time I buy I can never spend it all No matter how much time we buy We can never spend it all I'm gonna spend my time |

I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head I still believe the words we said Forever will ring true Love is certain, love is kind Love is yours and love is mine But it isn't something that we find It's something that we do It's holding tight, lettin' go It's flying high and laying low Let your strongest feelings show And your weakness, too It's a little and a lot to ask An endless and a welcome task Love isn't something that we have It's something that we do We help to make each other all that we can be Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently The way we work together is what sets our love apart So closely that you can't tell where I end and where you start It gives me heart remembering how We started with a simple vow There's so much to look back on now Still it feels brand-new We're on a road that has no end And each day we begin again Love's not just something that we're in It's something that we do We help to make each other all that we can be Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently The way we work together is what sets our love apart So closely that you can't tell where I end and where you start Love is wide, love is long Love is deep and love is strong Love is why I love this song And I hope you love it too I remember well the day we wed I can see that picture in my head Love isn't just those words we said It's something that we do There's no request too big or small We give ourselves, we give our all Love isn't someplace that we fall It's something that we do |

I get up in the morning
I drink a cup of coffee I look out of the window I try to get it started I turn it all over Plow it all under I plant 'em in the springtime Pick 'em in the summer I live in my own mind Ain't nothin but a good time No rain just the sunshine Out here in my own mind I live where I can breathe Ain't nothin but a cool breeze Nobody that it won't please Out here where I can breathe Randy and Danny Ray They'll show back up any day That's one thing you can count on But sometime's they'll be long gone I'd rather be hunting Hooked on fishing I read it on their t-shirts And if you don't believe it I live in my own mind Ain't nothin but a good time No rain just the sunshine Out here in my own mind I live where I can breathe Ain't nothin but a cool breeze Nobody that it won't please Out here where I can breathe Hardwood floor creakin' Bedroom door squeakin' She's standing in the kitchen I thought she was still sleepin' Kiss her on the forehead Asked her how she slept She says, 'honey it's so early, We probably shouldn't speak yet' I live in my own mind Ain't nothin but a good time No rain just the sunshine Out here in my own mind I live where I can breathe Ain't nothin but a cool breeze Nobody that it won't please Out here where I can breathe YouTube - Lyle Lovett - In My Own Mind |

She hates my mama
She hates my daddy too She loves to tell me She hates the things I do She loves to lie beside me Almost every night She's no lady she's my wife The preacher asked her And she said I do The preacher asked me And she said yes he does too And the preacher said I pronounce you 99 to life Son she's no lady she's your wife And I can't remember How I met her Seems like she's always just been hanging here off my right arm And I can't remember How I ever Thought that I just couldn't live without a woman's charm And even though She loves the smell of French perfume And even though She walks around in high-heel shoes All I know Is I'm the one who pays her price Man she's no lady she's my wife And I can't remember How I met her Seems like she's always just been hanging here off my right arm And I can't remember How I ever Thought that I just couldn't live without a woman's charm Yea she hates my mama She hates my daddy too She loves to tell me She hates the things I do She loves to lie beside me Almost every night She's no lady she's my wife YouTube - Lyle Lovett: She's No Lady |

Hello
I'm the guy who sits next to you And reads the newspaper over your shoulder Wait Don't turn the page I'm not finished Life is so uncertain Here I am Yes it's me Take my hand And you'll see Here I am Yes it's true All I want Girl is you Given that true intellectual and emotional compatability Are at the very least difficult If not impossible to come by We could always opt for the more temporal gratification Of sheer physical attraction That wouldn't make you a shallow person Would it Here I am Yes it's me Take my hand And you'll see Here I am Yes it's true All I want Girl is you If Ford is to Chevrolet What Dodge is to Chrysler What Corn Flakes are to Post Toasties What the clear blue sky is to the deep blue sea What Hank Williams is to Neil Armstrong Can you doubt we were made for each other Here I am Yes it's me Take my hand And you'll see Here I am Yes it's true All I want Girl is you Look I understand too little too late I realize there are things you say and do You can never take back But what would you be if you didn't even try You have to try So after a lot of thought I'd like to reconsider Please If it's not too late Make it a cheeseburger Here I am Yes it's me Take my hand And you'll see Here I am Yes it's true All I want Girl is you YouTube - Lyle Lovett: Here I Am |

Been to Colorado where the mountains touch the sky
And I've done other things in life to lift my spirits high But nothing that I've ever tried to do Has taken me as high as loving you Cause you lift me up, up, up, up to heaven When you gently lay me down You lift me up, up, up, up to heaven Yes you make my world go round I never try to get away on daydreams anymore Love's taken me to places that I've never been before But if it's not heaven when you're holding me It's the way that heaven oughta be Cause you lift me up, up, up, up to heaven When you gently lay me down You lift me up, up, up, up to heaven Yes you make my world go round And we never leave the ground Up, up, up, up to heaven Yes you make my world go round |
