Absence Of The Heart lyrics - Deana Carter

I write you letters but I don't send them
I just can't figure out how to end them
I try to reach you you're right beside me
There's something missing and we can't deny that

We live together separately
We don't wanna fall apart
But every time we kiss
There's an emptiness
An absence of the heart

How did we lose it? Why did this happen?
When did we take it all for granted?
We sit in silence inside we're crying
How can we keep our love from dying?

We live together separately
We don't wanna fall apart
But every time we kiss
There's an emptiness
An absence of the heart

We live together separately
We don't wanna fall apart
But every time we kiss
There's an emptiness
An absence of the heart

We live together separately
We don't wanna fall apart
But every time we kiss
There's an emptiness
An absence of the heart

I write you letters but I don't send them

Brand New Key lyrics - Deana Carter

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I rollerskated to your door at daylight
It almost seems that you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you've got something I need

Well, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
I've been lookin' around a while
You got somethin' for me
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key

I ride my bike, I rollerskate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive I've been all around the world
Some people say I've done alright for a girl

I asked your mother if you were at home
She said yes, but you weren't alone
Oh sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you got something I need

Well, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key

Michelangelo Sky lyrics - Deana Carter

We fell in love underneath a Michelangelo sky
We saw the same things in the shapes of the clouds rolling by
A blanket of leaves and the soft summer wind
Feeling the heat of the sun on our skin
That's when I learned how to fly
One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky

One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky

Until that day I was living in black and white
The touch of your hand brings all these colors to life
I get the feeling this feeling won't fade
Here in your arms I get carried away
Back to the very first time

One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky

One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky

One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky

People Miss Planes lyrics - Deana Carter

A tear ran down his face
As she started to leave
He said, baby, don't do this
I'm beggin' you please
What can I say to stop you
From walkin' out on us
I'll do anything to save our love

She said I'm through with talkin'
You know I've tried my best
I gotta leave right now
I've got a plane to catch
And he said

People miss planes
It happens all the time
They cancel their plans
They change their minds
Listen to your heart
Before you go too far
Baby, turn around
Before it's too late
People miss planes

She made it to the airport
In the nick of time
In a moment she'd be gone
Yeah, she'd board that flight
She'd fly away from trouble
From the struggles that they had
And from everything they had shared

A tear fell on her ticket
As she thought about their love
In just another minute
She'd give it all up

Then she heard a voice calling
Boarding flight 41
When another voice inside her said
You don't have to get on

People miss planes
It happens all the time
They cancel their plans
They change their minds
Listen to your heart
Before you go too far
Baby, turn around
Before it's too late
People miss planes

Never Comin' Down lyrics - Deana Carter

Caroline was born about a mile from the Mississippi
Kinda like the kudzu, she grew up fast and pretty
A little bit of Memphis, little bit of New York City

All the boys would come around, blocking up her daddy's driveway
But she could spot a come-on coming from a mile away
She hears them callin' but she ain't fallin'

She wants a love that's gona last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She's holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly and she's never comin' down

She's waiting tables at her Uncle Joe's "Bar & Diner"
And it was powerful stuff when he pulled up in a big freight liner
He lit a cigarette and when their eyes met
She knew that one day he'd carry her away

She wants a love that's gona last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She's holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly and she's never comin' down

She wants a love that's gona last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She's holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly and she's never comin' down

She wants a love that's gona last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She's holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly and she's never comin' down

Make Up Your Mind lyrics - Deana Carter

I don't understand the things you do
The more you think the more I think you are confused
It shouldn't be so hard to figure out
What you can and cannot live without so why can't you

Make up your mind
I'm going crazy
After all this time
You'd think that maybe
You would realize
That no one else could love you like I do
And I just can't keep waiting here for you
To make up your mind

I don't know what it is that you're searching for
I wonder if you wonder if there's something more out there
And even though I know it'll break my heart
I can't keep going on and on the way things are
It's not fair

Make up your mind
I'm going crazy
After all this time
You'd think that maybe
You would realize
That no one else could love you like I do
And I just can't keep waiting here for you
To make up your mind

I don't wanna have to tell you goodbye
But baby, trust me I will
And I might regret it for the rest of my life
But I can't change the way I feel

Don't you realize that no one else could love you
Like I do, but I just can't keep waiting here for you
To make up your mind

I don't understand the things you do
The more you think the more I think you are confused
Make up your mind
Make up your mind

Colour Everywhere lyrics - Deana Carter

I used to see in black and white
Never something in between
Waitin' on the love of my life
To come into my dreams

Everything in shades of grey
Never any blues or greens
I needed someone else to turn to
Someone who could help me learn to see
All the beauty that was waiting for me

You...you put the blue back in the sky
You put the rainbow in my eyes
The silver lining in my prayers
And now there's colour everywhere
You put the red back in the rose
Just when I needed it the most
You came along to show you care
And now there's colour everywhere

My life was so predictable
Never any mystery
But ever since you shined the light
All of that is history

Now I have a hand to hold
And a reason to believe
There's someone in my life worth living for
I was hanging 'round just wishin' on a star
To put the happiness back in my heart and

You...you put the blue back in the sky
You put the rainbow in my eyes
The silver lining in my prayers
And now there's colour everywhere
You put the red back in the rose
Just when I needed it the most
You came along to show you care
And now there's colour everywhere

I left those hazy days behind me
Never to return again
Now they're just a faded memory
'Cause baby it's all so clear to see
The beauty that was waiting for me

You...you put the blue back in the sky
You put the rainbow in my eyes
The silver lining in my prayers
And now there's colour everywhere
You put the red back in the rose
Just when I needed it the most
You came along to show you care
And now there's colour everywhere

You care and now there's colour everywhere
There's colour everywhere
There's colour everywhere

Angels Working Overtime lyrics - Deana Carter

She was born at a rest stop on the Kansas state line
In the back of a Dodge in the summer time
Her momma named her Indiana like their license plate
And with the hum of the tires on the interstate
She was cryin'

They left her at a Denny's up in Colorado
In a blanket with her name written on a note
That said, "Forgive us Lord for not takin' her
But this child has a better chance of makin' it
In someone else's arms"

And it's a crazy thing
Fate has perfect wings
All the way down the line
Angels working overtime

She was raised in a place called Cheyenne Wells
But she never fit in and everyone could tell
That she didn't belong in some prairie town
And when she turned eighteen she bought a ticket out
On a Greyhound

They stopped a few minutes out of Santa Fe
She got out for a smoke and they drove away
She hitched a ride with a boy right out of school
He said "I'm headed out west" and she said "Me too
If that's all right"

And it's a crazy thing
Fate has perfect wings
All the way down the line
Angels working overtime

It took a couple hundred miles 'til they fell in love
They knew forever was the only thing good enough
And in a moment of passion in a motel room
They held on tight and their aim was true
Now they're countin' down the days
And dreamin' all night in an apartment in L.A.

And it's a crazy thing
Fate has perfect wings
All the way down the line
Angels working overtime

And it's a crazy thing
Fate has perfect wings
All the way down the line
Angels working overtime

She was born at a rest stop on the Kansas state line
Angels workin' overtime
She was cryin'
She was cryin'
She was cryin'

Dickson County lyrics - Deana Carter

I live by the river on the wrong side of town
Nothing much to do here but listen to the sound
Of a train I'll never catch passin' me by
Of the muddy water drinkin' the tears that I cry

So I heard you're comin' back with somebody else
Well, if I had the time, if I had a little help
Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight
Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight

I have to think of something, I just have to find a way
Before you cross that river, before I see your face
'Cause I can see your headlights and I can feel the pain
And nothing's gonna save me if I see you again

But if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rights
I'd be baptized in the ashes come the morning light
And every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight
Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight

I'd pay the price, I'd take the blame
If I could see it go up in flames

And if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rights
Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight
Dickson County

The Train Song lyrics - Deana Carter

I'm looking at you in the candlelight
I whisper softly in your ear
Feels like the stars are lining up tonight
I'm gonna hold you tenderly
Pull you close and

Love you like a freight train
Gonna roll you down the railway
I'm gonna love you like a freight train
I'm gonna love you like a, love you like a
Freight train

Lock the door and throw the key away
I'm gonna take my time
Sun comin' up at the break of day
Won't be the end of the line
Oh baby, I'm gonna

Love you like a freight train
Gonna roll you down the railway
I'm gonna love you like a freight train
I'm gonna love you like a, love you like a
Freight train

Chuggin' up
Chuggin' up and down again

Love you like a freight train
Gonna roll you down the railway
I'm gonna love you like a freight train
I'm gonna love you like a, love you like a
Freight train

Chuggin' up
Chuggin' up and down again

I'm gonna roll you down the railway
I'm gonna love you like a freight train
I'm gonna love you like a, love you like a
Freight train

Chuggin' up
Chuggin' up and down again

Everything's Gonna Be Alright lyrics - Deana Carter

There are times when my heart is uneasy with fear
The answers are nowhere in sight
Then I hear a sweet voice whisper soft in my ear
Everything's gonna be alright

When I see the people with hunger in their eyes
And no guidance through the night
Once again that sweet voice whispers soft in my ear, sayin'
Everything's gonna be alright

I'll show you the way if you'll only believe
Everything's gonna be alright
I'll show you the way if you just believe me
Everything's gonna be alright

Now I can see it's all comin' home
The message rings clear and bright
Just as He promised, no one ever walks alone
And His love will show the light

See the light shine, oh how it shines
Everything's gonna be alright
See the light shine, oh how it shines
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright

I've Loved Enough To Know lyrics - Deana Carter

I hear what you're telling me but that don't make it so
Two timing, talking sweet from the time your feet hit the floor
My heart is telling me it's time to let you go
Oh baby, let go

I've loved enough to know
A heartache when I see one coming
Been down this road before
I've loved enough to know

Every night out with the boys, you think I'm so naive
Well, I know exactly where you're going every time you leave
I see every little something up your sleeve
Oh baby, I can see

I've loved enough to know
A heartache when I see one coming
Been down this road before
I've loved enough to know

I've loved enough to know
A heartache when I see one coming
Been down this road before
I've loved enough to know

I've loved enough to know
A heartache when I see one coming
Been down this road before
I've loved enough to know
A heartache when I see one
And I see one coming
A heartache when I see one
And I see one coming

I see one, I see one coming
I see one, I see one coming
I see one, I see one coming

We Danced Anyway lyrics - deana carter

The summer air was heavy and sweet
You and I on a crowded street
There was music everywhere, I can see us there
In a happy little foreign town
Where the stars hung upside down
A half a world away, far, far away

I remember you were laughing
We were so in love, we were so in love

[Chorus:]
And the band played
Songs that we had never heard
But we danced anyway
We never understood the words
We just sang oh la la la la la la la la
And we danced anyway

Well they say you can't go back
But baby I don't believe that
Come along with me, come on and dance with me
Well maybe if I hold you close
Baby we could just let go
Of these things that tie us down, we'll come back around

You remember we were laughing
We were so in love, so in love

[Chorus]

You remember we were laughing
We were so in love, we were so in love

And the band played
Songs that we had never heard
But we danced anyway
We never understood the words
We just sang oh la la la la la la la la
La la la of the world
Ohhhhhh
And we dance anyway (oohh we were laughing ohh)
Ohhhh
And we danced anyway
(ohh we were dancing ohh)

Count Me In lyrics - Deana Carter

Could there be a different ending
To the same old story
Cause you're not the first to say
You're gonna be there for me
I need to know what's in your heart
Can you finish what you start
How can I be sure I won't be sorry

If heartaches and tears and shadows of doubt
Are part of the deal, you can count me out
But if you're talking about a game I can win
You can count me in

When you tell me you're the one
I've always needed
You don't know how much I'm wanting
To believe it
But I've heard it all before
Now I'm needing something more
A promise is no good if you can't keep it

If heartaches and tears and shadows of doubt
Are part of the deal, you can count me out
But if you're talking about a game I can win
You can count me in

If heartaches and tears and shadows of doubt
Are part of the deal, you can count me out
But if you're talking about a game I can win
You can count me in

You can count me in

If This Is Love lyrics - Deana Carter

Hold your racing horses just one minute
A funny feeling coming over me
Well I'm hearing violins and Tony Bennett
Boy if this is love well then I'm in it

It was a triple digit summer
I thought I'd let you share my ice cream cone
We took a walk going nowhere
But I was already, already gone

That train of love is rolling and I'm on it
Destination end of the line
Ever star I see I wish upon it
Boy if this is love well then I want it

It was a triple digit summer
I thought I'd let you share my ice cream cone
We took a walk going nowhere
But I was already, already gone

Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be now was it
Simple as the dimple in your smile
I just can't resist kissin' and huggin'
Boy if this is love then I sure love it
Boy if this is love, Boy if this is love,
Boy if this is love then I sure love it

Love Ain't Worth Making lyrics - Deana Carter

Why did you have to forsake me
Couldn't you tell me goodbye
I've been waking up lately with tears in my eyes

Love Ain't worth making when it makes you the fool
A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
when she's holding you

You don't know how happy you made me
Couldn't you give it one more try
I know her arms are waiting to hold you tonight

Love Ain't worth making when it makes you the fool
A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
when she's holding you

So go on and pack up whats left
Of all that we shared
You're leaving me lonely tonight

Love Ain't worth making when it makes you the fool
A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
when she's holding you

Before We Ever Heard Goodbye lyrics - Deana Carter

I remember that new pair of blue jeans
And man your boots sure did shine
You had on my favorite cologne
I knew what was on your mind

You picked me up in that mustang
You were right on time
Had the radio on it was playing our song
We were leaving the world behind

I wanna remember that lovin' feeling
When we were young and our hopes were high
A heart was something you could believe in
Love was more than just a word
Before we ever heard goodbye

That summer night down at the levy
You gave me your ring on a chain
There would never be another for me
Tell me why does everything
Always have to change

I wanna remember that lovin' feeling
When we were young and our hopes were high
A heart was something you could believe in
Love was more than just a word
Before we ever heard goodbye

I wanna remember that lovin' feeling
When we were young and our hopes were high
A heart was something you could believe in
Love was more than just a word
Before we ever heard goodbye

How Do I Get There lyrics - Deana Carter

We've always been the best of friends.
No secrets and no demands, but suddenly from somewhere
Out of the blue, I see a different light around you.
One thing I haven't told you, I just want to hold you
And never let go.
I need to know

How do I get there from here? How do I make you see?
How do I tell you what my heart's been telling me?
Lost in your loving arms, that's where I wanna be.
You know I love you, how do I get there?

You probably think I've lost my mind, taking this chance
Crossing that line. I promise to be truer than true.
Dreamin' every night with these arms around you.
I can't wait any longer. This feeling's getting stronger.
Help me find a way

[Chorus]

The shortest distance between two points is a
Straight line, but
I'll climb any mountain that you want me to climb
The perfect combination is your heart and mine
Darlin' won't you give me sign?

[Chorus]

[Fade out]

Strawberry Wine lyrics - Deana Carter

He was working through college
On my grandpa's farm
I was thirsting for knowledge
And he had a car
Yeah, I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child
One restless summer we found love growing wild
On the banks of the river on a well-beaten path
It's funny how those memories they last

Like strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love, oh bittersweet
The green on the vine
Like strawberry wine

I still remember
When thirty was old
My biggest fear was September
When he had to go
A few cards and letters and one long distance call
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall
But year after year I come back to this place
Just to remember the taste

Of strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love, oh bittersweet
The green on the vine
Like strawberry wine

The fields have grown over now
Years since they've seen a plow
There's nothing time hasn't touched
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence
I've been missing so much
Yeah

Strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love, oh bittersweet
And green on the vine
Like strawberry wine
And seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love, oh bittersweet
The green on the vine
Like strawberry wine
Strawberry wine
Strawberry wine
