I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby - Alison Krauss

I can't understand, she let go of my hand And left me here, facing the wall I'd sure like to know why she did go But I can't get close to her at all Though we kissed through the wild, blazing night time She said she would never forget But now morning is clear, it's like I ain't here She acts like we never met It's all new to me, like some mystery It could even be like a myth But it's hard to think on that she's the same one That last night I was with From darkness dreams are deserted Am I still dreamin' yet? I wish she'd unlock her voice once and talk 'Stead of actin' like we never met If she ain't feelin' well then why don't she tell 'Stead of turnin' her back to my face? Without any doubt, she seems too far out For me to return to or chase And well, her skirt, it swayed as a guitar played Her mouth was watery and wet But now something has changed, for she ain't the same She just acts like we never have met If I didn't have to guess, I'd gladly confess To anything I might've tried If I was with her too long or have done something wrong I'd wish she tell me what it is, I'll run and hide Though the night ran swirling and whirling I remember her whispering yet But evidently she don't, evidently she won't She just acts like we never have met I'm leavin' today, I'll be on my way Of this I can't say very much But if you want me to, I can be just like you And pretend that we never have touched And if anybody asks me "Is it easy to forget?" I'll say, "It's easily done, you just pick anyone And pretend that you never have met"

Since I met you baby My whole life has changed Since I met you baby My whole life has changed All my friends tell me I'm not the same Let me tell you Since I met you baby I'm a happy man Since I met you baby Looks like I'm a happy man I'm gonna try and please you In every way that I can Let me tell you I don't need nobody To tell my troubles to I don't need nobody To tell my troubles to Oh, 'cause since I met you baby All I need is you And oh, pretty baby You know I love you baby Better than I do myself When I'm with you I don't need nobody else Love me in the morning You got to love me late at night Love me in the morning You got to love me late at night When you love me I hope everything is allright

I stood on faith and the corner of ambition I came here to sink or swim And to show them all that they were wrong And though I never thought I'd make it this far So the curtains are down For the moment I'm someone There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way Now they're gone But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are And when I'm down and I'm growing old I won't be along no railroad track I won't be bound to a life out in the cold It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home When I'm down and I'm growing old I won't be along no railroad track I won't be bound to a life out in the cold It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home Can't go on, I'm on the top of my better years I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Where have you been My long lost friend It's good to see you again Come and sit for a while I've missed your smile Today the past is goodbye Time can't erase A lover's embrace Can't you hear it calling A new day dawning You were longing to find Love's taken you far Away from my heart And I've been here all along Have your eyes failed to find What took you from mine A vision that's faded through time But you sail away Far on a summer's day But you heard it calling A new day dawning You were longing to find There is a way To make you stay Darling don't turn away Don't doubt your heart And keep us apart I'm right where you are Stay There is a way To make you stay Darling don't turn away Don't doubt your heart And keep us apart I'm right where you are Stay

Yesterday the odds were stacked in favor of my expectations Lying above the rest, never falling from the nest Tuesday came and went and now I'm in a little situation Maybe it's for the best, I can live alone I guess Maybe I can stand alone Maybe I'm strong as stone Even though the bird has flown Maybe he'll fly on home Forgive me if I'm keeping you apart from better conversation I'm numb from all my doubt, trying to sort the whole thing out Tell me that I'm smart enough to deal with all the information Spinning inside my head, every word he ever said Maybe I can stand alone Maybe I'm strong as stone Even though the bird has flown Maybe he'll fly on home (Repeat chorus)

We lease 20 acres And one Ginny mule From the Alabama Trust For half of the cotton and a third of the corn Get a hand full of dust We cannot have all things to please us No matter how we try Until we've all gone to Jesus We can only wonder why I had a daughter Called her Annabelle She's the apple of my eye Tried to give her something like I never had Didn't want to ever hear her cry We cannot have all things to please us No matter how we try Until we've all gone to Jesus We can only wonder why When I'm dead and buried I'll take a hard life of tears From every day I've ever known Anna's in the churchyard She got no life at all She only got these words on a stone We cannot have all things to please us No matter how we try Until we've all gone to Jesus We can only wonder why

Baby mine, don't you cry Baby mine, dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part, baby of mine Little one, when you play Don't you mind what they say Let those eyes sparkle and shine Never a tear, baby of mine If they knew sweet little you They'd end up loving you too All those same people who scold you What they'd give just for the right to hold you From your head down to your toes You're not much, goodness knows But you're so precious to me Sweet as can be, baby of mine All of those people who scold you What they'd give just for the right to hold you From your head down to your toes You're not much, goodness knows But you're so precious to me Sweet as can be, baby of mine Baby of mine
