Vince Gill

You were like a lost kid looking for home
You found what you wanted right in my arms

If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go
I love you so you're never alone

If you find another one turns your head
And you can't understand why it hurts so bad

If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go

If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go
I love you so you're never alone

Girl you're never alone
Never alone

No other lover ever really cared
When i've reached out for you you've always been there
Now i'm so far away and baby i'm scared
I never knew lonely til you

You are my rock and the strength i need
To keep me sane in this life that i lead
Now i'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two

I never loved someone like i love you
I never knew lonely til you

I can't make up for the times i've been gone
But i'll prove i love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms girl it's where i belong
I never knew lonely til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like i love you
I never knew lonely til you

I rushed home from work like i always do
I spent my whole day just thinking of you
When i walked through the front door my whole like was changed
Cause nobody answered when i called your name

A note on the table that told me goodbye
It said you'd grown weary of living a lie
Your love has ended but mine still remains
But nobody answers when i call your name

Oh the lonely sound of my voice calling
Is driving me insane
And just like rain the tears keep falling
Nobody answers when i call your name

Oh the lonely sound of my voice calling
Is driving me insane
And just like rain the tears keep falling
Nobody answers when i call your name
Oh nobody answers when i call your name

You've got my number
You've got my name
So why don't you call me
Little liza jane

You've got that body
You've got that frame
So why don't you call me
Little liza jane

Girl i got it bad for you
There ain't nothin' i won't do

Just one kiss and i'll never be the same
Little liza jane, oh little liza jane

Now you've heard my story
You've got to know my name
So why don't you call me
Little liza jane

Look at us
After all these years together
Look at us
After all that we've been through
Look at us
Still leaning on each other
If you want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

Look at you
Still pretty as a picture
Look at me
Still crazy over you
Look at us
Still believin' in forever
If you want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

In a hundred years from now
I know without a doubt
They'll all look back and wonder how
We made it all work out

Chances are
We'll go down in history
When they want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

Chance are
We'll go down in history
When they want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us
When they want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

I can read the writing on the wall
You pretend that nothing's changed at all
I've got just one thing to ask you if it's so
Just take your memory with you when you go

So i won't have to think about
The lonely nights i'll be without
Someone to hold me when the cold wind blows
Take your memory with you when you go

I walk the floor and wonder what went wrong

I'll have to find a way to carry on
Why don't you leave before the heartache starts to show
Take your memory with you when you go

So i won't have to think about
The lonely nights i'll be without
Someone to hold me when the cold wind blows
Take your memory with you
So i won't have to miss you
Take your memory with you when you go

He slipped the ring off his finger
When he walked in the room
And he found him some stranger
And promised her the moon
How many lies you must have told
You think you're a rich man
With your pocket full of gold

For another man's treasure
You'd say anything
But is one night of pleasure
Worth the trouble you'll bring
Don't look so surprised
'Cause son I should know
I once was a rich man
With pocket full of gold

Some night you're gonna wind up
On the wrong end of a gun
Some jealrous guy's gonna show up
And you'll pay for what you've done
What will it say on your tombstone
Here lies a rich man
With his pocket full of gold
Yeah, here lies a rich man
With his pocket full of gold

Looking back over the years
Of all the things i've always meant to say
But the words didn't come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all the nights i tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering

You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away


*Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know i've tried
The heart won't lie

You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart won't lie

Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me

You try to love your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away

*Repeat

We've been up
All night long
Trying to solve a problem
Hell it's almost dawn
Ain't no time for sleepin'
If our love is wearin' thin
'cause i ain't givin' up
And you ain't givin' in

Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
'cause the life we've been livin'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away

A wounded love
Walks a real thin line

And no communication
Will kill it every time
So open up your heart
Baby we can work it out
'cause we've got the kind of love
People dream about

Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
'cause the life we've been livin'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away

It's past the point of right or wrong
Let's find a way to just hold on

Everybody wants a little piece of my time
But still i put you at the end of the line
How it breaks my heart to cause you this pain
To see the tears you cry fallin' like rain

Give me the chance to prove
And i'll make it up to you

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby i still believe in you and me

Somewhere along the way, i guess i just lost track

Only thinkin' of myself never lookin' back
For all the times i've hurt you, i apologize
I'm sorry it took so long to finally realize

Give me the chance to prove
That nothing's worth losing you

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby i still believe in you and me

I lie here tonight in the darkness
I've never felt so alone
Tomorrow i'll wake up still lonesome
'cause things haven't changed since you've gone

You walked out with angry words spoken
You're leavin' cut right to the bone
I'll pick up the pieces you have broken
Find the strength to go on

I still remember

How my love once held her
How long do old memories last
Why can't i forget it
Why can't i admit it
There ain't no future in the past

I still remember
How my love once held her
How long do old memories last
Why can't i forget it
Why can't i admit it
There ain't no future in the past

You could have given me a million reasons why
But it wouldn't change a thing
You said it all when you said goodbye
And you took off your wedding ring

I've been tryin' to get over you
I've been spending time alone
I've been tryin' to get over you
But it'll take dyin' to get it done

All my friends keep tryin' to fix me up

They say i need somebody new
When it comes to love, i've all but given up
'cause life don't mean nothin' without you

I've been tryin' to get over you
I've been spending time alone
I've been tryin' to get over you
But it'll take dyin' to get it done

She was standing at the front door
When i came home last night
A good book in her left hand
And a rollin' pin in the right
She said you've come home for the last time
With whiskey on your breath
If you don't listen to my preachin' boy
I'm goin' to have to beat you half to death

Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through
I know i drive you crazy baby
It's the best that i can do
We're just some good ol' boys, a makin' noise
I ain't a runnin' 'round on you
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through

First she hid my glasses

'cause she knows that i can't see
She said you ain't goin' nowhere boy
'til you spend a little time with me
Then the boys called from the honky tonk
Said there's a party goin' on down here
Well she might've took my car keys
But she forgot about my old john deere

So give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through
I know i drive you crazy baby
It's the best that i can do
We're just some good ol' boys, a makin' noise
I ain't a runnin' 'round on you
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through

Look at us baby
Up all night
Tearin' our love apart
Aren't we the same two people
Who lived through years in the dark

Every time i try to walk away
Somethin' makes me turn and stay

I can't tell you why

When we get crazy
It just ain't right
(try to keep your head on, girl)
'cause girl i get lonely too
You don't have to worry
Just hold on tight
(don't get caught in your little world)

'cause i love you

Nothin's wrong as far as i can see
We make it harder than it has to be

I can't tell you why
No, baby, i can't tell you why
I can't tell you why

Every time i try to walk away
Somethin' makes me turn around and stay

I can't tell you why
No, baby, i can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why... yeah

No, baby
Ooooh, i can't tell you why

If i should stay
I would only be in your way
So i'll go, but i know
I'll think of you each step of the way

And i will always love you
I will always love you

Bitter sweet memories
That is all i am taking with me
Goodbye, please don't you cry
'cause we both know i'm not what you need

But i will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life (i hope life)
Treats you kind (treats you kind)
And i hope you have all you dream of
I wish you joy (wish you joy)
And happiness (and happiness)
But above all this i wish you love

And i will always love you
I will always love you
Yes, i will always love you
I will always love you
