Everything Has a Cost - Emmylou Harris

I can see you now, living like a queen In a house that has everything, everything but love Crystal chandeliers, chauffeured limousines Yes, you'll really have everything, everything but love I see diamonds and sables Sapphires and pearls, and as the picture clears Poor little rich girl sitting all alone Counting her treasures in tears Better just a shack, where two people care Than a house that has everything, everything but love I see diamonds, sables Sapphires and pearls, and as the picture clears Poor little rich girl sitting all alone Counting her treasures in tears Better just a shack, where two people care Than a house that has everything, everything but love Than a house that has everything, everything but love

All I knew this morning when I woke Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before And all I've seen since 18 hours ago Is green eyes and freckles in your smile In the back of my mind, making me feel right I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now I just wanna know you, know you, know you 'Cause all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name Everything has changed All I know is you held the door You'll be mine and I'll be yours All I know since yesterday is everything has changed And all my walls stood tall painted blue And I'll take them down, take them down and open up the door for you And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies The beautiful kind, making up for lost time Taking flight, making me feel right I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now I just wanna know you, know you, know you 'Cause all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name Everything has changed All I know is you held the door And you'll be mine and I'll be yours All I know since yesterday is everything has changed Come back and tell me why I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time And meet me there tonight And let me know that it's not all in my mind I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now I just wanna know you, know you, know you And all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name Everything has changed All I know is you held the door You'll be mine and I'll be yours All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

Putting all the vegetables away That you bought at the grocery store today And it goes fast, you think of the past Suddenly everything has changed. Driving home, the sky accelerates. And the clouds all form a geometric shape. And it goes fast, you think of the past. Suddenly everything has changed. Putting all the clothes you washed away. As you're folding up the shirts, you hesitate. Then it goes fast, you think of the past. Suddenly everything has changed.
