Night grows cold I've been lonely so much Out of reach Save it only for me Nothing in life is the same And the sooner we stop to start And there's a heart like mine Somewhere in this world There's a heart like mine Beating but left to burn Maybe you can hide your face forever God knows it's true That when you search for someone There's a heart like mine There's a heart like mine To be heard Souls on fire Souls on fire Feel her voice in your ear She goes on Living only for me Nothing you say could be wrong 'Cause you give me the lovers sign And there's a heart like mine Somewhere in this world There's a heart like mine Beating but left to burn Maybe we can share it all forever But not 'til we do I'm gonna search for someone There's a heart like mine There's a heart like mine To be heard And baby are we waking up together 'Cause God knows it's you If there is love for someone And there's a heart like mine Somewhere in this world There's a heart like mine Beating but left to burn Maybe we can share it all forever But not 'til we do I'm gonna search for someone There's a heart like mine There's a heart like mine To be heard There's a heart like mine There's a heart like mine

I ain't the kind you take home to mama I ain't the kind to wear no ring Somehow I always get stronger When I'm on my second drink Even though I hate to admit it Sometimes I smoke cigarettes Christian folks say I should quit it I just smile and say, "God bless" 'Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine I bet we'd get along just fine He could calm a storm and heal the blind And I bet He'd understand a heart like mine Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo Said, he loved me anyway My brother got the brains of the family So I thought I'd learn to sing 'Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine And I bet we'd get along just fine He could calm a storm and heal the blind And I bet He'd understand a heart like mine I'll fly away from it all one day I'll fly away These are the days that I will remember When my names called on a roll They'll meet me with two long stem glasses Make a toast to me coming home 'Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine And I bet we'd get along just fine He could calm a storm and heal the blind And I bet He'd understand Understand a heart like mine, oh yes, He would

I never knew my father He left when I was young They say he was a proud man As good as they come He left like all the others When no work could be found He smiled and told my mother I won't let you down The autumn turned to winter And the light left her eyes No footsteps on the front porch No word of him arrived A promise torn to pieces And tossed to the ground Though at night she grieved him She never made a sound I know he had a reason I know a man can get lost Whatever he believed in I know he suffered the cost His picture's almost faded But I filled in the lines And nothing's unforgiven So father don't you cry Now the years have found me With a child of my own Another generation That must carry the load But somewhere there's a memory In the back of my mind I see my father smiling With a face like mine

I know I'm scared of growing old When my day turns night and my hands they get so cold With every day that passes by I can feel my life flashing right before my eyes I can do it, I can do it I can do it but not alone I can do it, I can do it I can do it it's mine to own Somewhere lost in time there's a boy with hair like mine Does he know which words to rhyme? I think I'm going crazy Though he tries and tries he just can't control his mind And with all that wasted time I think I'm losing my mind I can do it, I can do it I can do it but not alone I can do it, I can do it I can do it it's mine to own (Watch) Somewhere lost in time there's a boy with hair like mine Does he know which words to rhyme? I think I'm going crazy Though he tries and tries he just can't control his mind And with all that wasted time I think I'm losing my mind

I couldn't change your heart I couldn't change your mind So I just have to learn to live with This empty life you've left behind You didn't try to hear You didn't try to see No you just stared right through the teardrops Like there was nothing left of me Nothing but sorrow Nothing but pain Nothing but memories that whisper your name, yeah Nothing but sadness Nothing but fear Nothing but silence heard around here Bridges were burned Lessons were learned Promises made that were broken Tender lies so softly spoken (Spoken) You didn't try to hear You didn't try to see You just stared right through the teardrops Like there was nothing left of me Nothing but sorrow (nothing but sorrow) Nothing but pain (nothing) Nothing but memories that whisper your name Nothing but sadness (nothing but sadness) Nothing but fear (nothing) Nothing but silence heard around here Heard around here Nothing but sorrow (nothing but sorrow) Nothing but pain (nothing) Nothing but memories that whisper your name Whisper your name Nothing but sadness (nothing but sadness) Nothing but fear (nothing) Nothing but silence heard around here Heard around here I couldn't change your heart

If I had a waterfall We wouldn't wonder, not at all How much fun each day was gonna be If I had a mountain top I know we would never stop Climbing way high up to look and see If I had a jellyfish I betcha we would never miss A single peanut butter kiss or squeeze If I had a waterfall It might not make no sense at all But that won't matter much to you and me Babies get born Even in a war I guess just to show us What livin's for My heart still Believes that love For what we need Can be enough If we'll just stop Keepin' score If I had a big giraffe That tried to dance and made us laugh Every smile and giggle would be free If I had a big moonlight We'd turn it back on every night Just so the dark could try and get some sleep If I had a rocket ship We'd go places really quick Then have the time to stop and get ice cream If I had a big giraffe He'd have to take a real long bath And that's why waterfalls are really neat Babies get born Even in a war I guess just to show us What livin's for My heart still Believes that love For what we need Can be enough If we'll just stop Keepin' score If I had an everything We could stand out in the rain And only feel the drops we wanted to If I had a wonderful We could play out in the snow And never have to wear our socks and shoes If I had a pot of luck I wouldn't have to spend a buck And get all the stuff we needed for a sneeze If I had an everything We wouldn't get wet in the rain And ridin' waterfalls would be a breeze If I had a big giraffe He'd have to take a real long bath And that's why waterfalls are really neat

If I could I'd take us back To where we were When we didn't need to be Anyplace but deep inside The moment love first came to life and see There's a way lost hope can lead To help find that memory Baby if you just believe A yearning heart can Teach us how Regret is hope We haven't learned to see Even in the total dark I know we can find a spot with dreams The first step back up off the ground Is letting go of what held us down And then just to believe... Words they just get in my way When really all I'm tryin' to say is Believe If I could I'd take us back To when our hearts were both boldly free But words they just get in my way When really all I'm tryin' to say is Believe, believe Believe, believe Believe, yeah words Can just get in the way When all I ever meant to say is Believe!
