Home (Live from The Merv Griffin Show) - Whitney Houston

I went up to the mountain Because you asked me to Up over the clouds To where the sky was blue I could see all around me Everywhere I could see all around me Everywhere Sometimes I feel like I've never been nothing but tired And I'll be walking 'Til the day I expire Sometimes I lay down No more can I do But then I go on again Because you ask me to Some days I look down Afraid I will fall And though the sun shines I see nothing at all Then I hear your sweet voice, oh Oh, come and then go, come and then go Telling me softly You love me so The peaceful valley Just over the mountain The peaceful valley Few come to know I may never get there Ever in this lifetime But sooner or later It's there I will go Sooner or later It's there I will go

If I changed my mind If I changed my faith Every time a stop light signaled Each time I made mistakes I don't think that I would be where I am today I live my life without regrets What you see is, what you see is What you see is what you get and I'm Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed, unashamed Adding up my life, it totals all my dreams I'm counting all my blessings and the gifts I have received Still there's always someone, something to overcome Took all my life to understand that I am what I am, who I am Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed Do you wanna know how it goes? Do you wanna control how I feel? Do you wanna stay in my life? Then listen here and listen good You got to get it, got to get it, got to get it right Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed

Got me a postcard and a twenty dollar bill I told you I'd meet you in Memphis if you bring me those pills And I got high and I got dry for far too long And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me along They called me the wild card And they called me their fool I told them I'd bring 'em that money If they'd get me back to you And I got cash and I got robbed for all I own And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me back home I got clean and I got a steady job No longer was I running from the emblems of the law And I got clean and I got mean to the bone And the gypsy train to Houston won't leave me alone And the gypsy train to Houston won't leave me alone

Met a girl at the party last night, With gold in her eyes, And little alibies to fool me. Had venom on her lips, Painted finger tips, Used my chest pockets To hold her cigarettes, and number, And I wonder, If I'll see her again. She said, boy if you really wanna write a song, You better stop waiting to take me home, And let me talk to you. Whatever you wanna do. Baby, don't make me wait anymore, If that other girl cared, She'd be right at the door, to stop me, And if you love her, Then come a little closer, And let me change that for you. Met a girl at the party last night, With bad ideas, but real good pills To hold me. Baby blue eyes, Without the sunshine, She locked me in her room, And took her sweet time. I wonder, if I'm just another, Notch on the post. She said, boy if you really wanna write a song, You better stop waiting to take me home, And let me talk to you. Whatever you wanna do. Baby, don't make me wait anymore, If that other girl cared, She'd be right at the door, to stop me, And if you love her, Then come a little closer, And let me change that for you. Met a girl at the party last night, With vicious intentions, To find another victim to haunt me. Twisted up knives, The back of my spine, Taryn me to pieces, The reasons I write, I wonder, if I'm just another, Ghost you used to know... She said, boy if you really wanna write a song, You better stop waiting to take me home, And let me talk to you. Whatever you wanna do. Baby, don't make me wait anymore, If that other girl cared, She'd be right at the door, to stop me, And if you love her, Then come a little closer, And let me change that for you. Met a girl at the party last night.
