Альбом Diamond Rio

(Tim Johnson)

On an icy road one night
A young man loses his life
They marked the shoulder with a cross
An' his family gathers round
On a piece of Hallowed ground
Their hearts are heavy with their loss
As the tears fall from their eyes
There's one who'll always sympathise.

God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
An' all the angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than, mmm, baby, than, oh
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home.

It still makes me sad
When I think of my Grand-dad
I miss him each and every day
But I know the time will come
When my own gradnson
Wonders why I went away
Maybe we're not meant to understand
Till we meet up in the Promised Land.

God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
And all the angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than, oh, baby, than oh
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home
Yeah, we're so far from home, Mmmm, Mmmm.

Going out of my mind these days,
Like I'm walking 'round in a haze
I can't think straight, I can't concentrate,
And I need to shave.

I go to work and I look tired.
The boss man said, "Son, you're gonna get fired. This ain't your style."
And behind my coffee cup I just smiled.

Chorus:
What a beautiful mess,
What a beautiful mess I'm in.
Spending all of my time with you,
There's nothing else I'd rather do.
What a sweet addiction that I'm caught up in,
'Cause I can't get enough.
Can't stop the hunger for your love,
What a beautiful, what a beautiful mess I'm in.

This morning put salt in my coffee.
I put my shoes on the wrong feet
(I'm losing my mind I swear).
It might be the death of me, but I don't care.

Chorus:
What a beautiful mess,
What a beautiful mess I'm in.
Spending all of my time with you,
There's nothing else I'd rather do.
What a sweet addiction that I'm caught up in
'Cause I can't get enough.
Can't stop the hunger for your love,
What a beautiful, what a beautiful mess I'm in.

Is it your eyes, is it your smile?
All I know is that you're driving me wild!

ChorusL
What a beautiful mess,
What a beautiful mess I'm in.
Spending all of my time with you,
There's nothing else I'd rather do.
What a sweet addiction that I'm caught up in
'Cause I can't get enough.
Can't stop the hunger for your love,
What a beautiful, what a beautiful..

Chorus:
What a beautiful mess,
What a beautiful mess I'm in.
Spending all of my time with you,
There's nothing else I'd rather do.
What a sweet addiction that I'm caught up in
'Cause I can't get enough.
Can't stop the hunger for your love,
What a beautiful, what a beautiful mess I'm in.
Ahhhh...

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished, for one more day with you.

Chorus:
One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you.

--- Instrumental ---
One more day.

First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do, with one more day with you.

Chorus:
One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you.

Chorus:
One more day
One more touch
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day.

Leave me wishing still for one more day.
Leave me wishing still for one more day,
With you.

One more day.
One more day...

Sweet Summer"

-He had a freezer full of bomb pops
Push ups, drum sticks and dreamcicles
And a paint chipped change box
Full of sticky quarters, dimes and nickles
It was automatic when you heard that song
Run home and get your money before he's gone

Lookin' underneath the Chrysler in the driveway
Hey, dad what ya doin'
The smell of summer twilight
There's always somebody barbeque'n
Truth or dare with the kids on our road
Hide and seek till your mama calls you home

Chorus

Sweet summer, yeah I remember that
Sweet summer, let me take you back

Both our moms were best friends
And she was the youngest of three daughters
An angel on a pink Schwinn, my first crush
To this day I ain't forgot her
Those days were never too long
And never too hot
Even though I was out of school
I was learnin' a lot

Chorus

Bridge

There's not a day that I don't remember
From the end of May to the first of September

Chorus

She's so kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable
She's a mouthful of anything and everything a man could want
She ain't typical, she's unpredictable, she's available, it's a miracle
How my heart stumbled into someone so kissable, huggable, lovable,
unbelievable.

Up 'til now my life has been so lonely and boring
I never thought I would find someone so.

Elegant, intelligent, heaven sent, all my money spent
I put a big down payment on that itty bitty diamond ring
She's so beautiful, it's indisputable, it's undeniable, she's got-to-havable
She's music to my ears, and makes my heart sing, so kissable, huggable,
lovable, unbelievable.

--- Instrumental ---

There's so many things
I want to tell her
Like I love her
But every time I talk
I start to stutter.

She's so elegant, intelligent, heaven sent, all my money spent
I put a big down payment on that itty bitty diamond ring
She's so beautiful, it's indisputable, it's undeniable, she's got-to-havable
She's music to my ears, and makes my heart sing, so kissable, huggable,
lovable, unbelievable.

Kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable.
Kissable, huggable, lovable, unbelievable...

I said, Hello I think I'm broken.
And though I was only jokin'
It took me by surprise when you agreed.
I was tryin to be clever
But for the life of me I never
Would have guessed how far the simple truth would lead.
You knew all my lines. You knew all my tricks.
You knew how to heal that pain no medicine can fix.

And I bless the day I met you.
And I thank God that he let you
Lay beside me for a moment that lives on.
And the good news is I'm better for the time we spent together.
And the bad news is you're gone.

Looking back it's still surprising
I was sinking, you were rising.
With a look you caught me in mid-air.
Now I know God has his reasons.
But sometimes it's hard to see them.
I lie awake and find that you're not there.

You found hope in hopeless.
You made crazy sane.
You became the missing link that helped me to break my chains.

And I bless the day I met you.
And I thank God that he let you
Lay beside me for a moment that lives on.
And the good news is I'm better for the time we spent together.
And the bad news is you're gone.

--- Instrumental ---
Ohh Ohhh.

You're Gone.

Ohh, Ohh, You're Gone...

(Kent Blazy/Neil Thrasher)

I start every day with a smile on my face
And the feel of a kiss on my lips
When the world plays to rough I can find a healin’ touch
Life’s never been better than this

That’s what I get for lovin’ you
Heaven’s right here in my hands
A dream that is real and a heart that beats true
That’s what I get for lovin’ you

There was a time I walked outside the lines
I only thought of myself
Then you sat me down turned my head around
Now, I put you before everything else

That’s what I get for lovin’ you
Heaven’s right here in my hands
A dream that is real and a heart that beats true
That’s what I get for lovin’ you

Love is a feelin’ I never knew much about
Forever’s a word I never said until now

That’s what I get for lovin’ you
Heaven’s right here in my hands
A dream that is real and a heart that beats true
That’s what I get for lovin’ you

That’s what I get for lovin’ you
Heaven’s right here in my hands
A dream that is real and a heart that beats true
That’s what I get for lovin’ you...

Gettin' out of the tub all drawn up like a raisin
Showed my fingers to my Daddy while he was shavin'
Said look at my toes Dad what's wrong with my skin
Will this go away, will I be normal again

Well he picked me up and set me down on the hamper
Wiped off his face while he gave me the answer
It was the first time I noticed lines in his grin
As he dabbed a little foam on the end of my chin, he said

Those wrinkles ain't nothin' to be scared of
They're just a product of time and true love
Some are gonna come and go
Some are gonna come and stay
Son, you're still young, you're gonna be ok

Well I walked down the hall, saw my Momma gettin ready
For a long over due date, dinner with Daddy
She was cussin' those crows feet, didn't know I was listenin'
Started talkin' ‘bout her younger years
And how much she missed them and I said

Those wrinkles ain't nothin' to be scared of
They're just a product of time and true love
Some are gonna come and go
Some are gonna come and stay
Mom you still look young, you're gonna be ok

As I get a little older, I'm startin' to get a few
And I'm sure I gave Mom and Dad at least one or two
We're all gonna have ‘em, there ain't no doubt
But those wrinkles in life ain't nothin' you can't iron out

Those wrinkles ain't nothin' to be scared of
Some are gonna come and go
Some are gonna come and stay
I still feel young, I'm gonna be ok

Those wrinkles ain't nothin' to be scared of

Every now and then,
Soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again,
And it's like you haven't been,
Gone a moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me

And with all my heart I'm sure,
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see,
I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe
Oh, I believe

Now when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light,
It never ends and if I'm right,
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe
Oh, I believe

Forever, you're a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
Oh, the people who don't see the most,
Say that I believe in ghosts
If that makes me crazy, then I am,
'Cause I believe

Oh I believe

Instrumental Break

There are more than angels watching over me
I believe
Oh, I believe

Every now and then,
Soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again,
And I believe

It was 700 fence posts
from your place to ours
Neither one of us was old enough to drive a car
sometimes it was rainin and sometimes it would shine
we wore out that gravel road between your house and mine

Chorus
I start walkin your way you start walkin mine
we meet in the middle neath that old Georgia pine
We gain a lot of ground cuz we both give a little
aint no road to long when we meet in the middle

It's been 7 years tomorrow since we said our vows
under that old pine tree you oughta see it now
standin in the backyard remindin me and you
that if we don't see eye to eye
there's something we can do

Chorus

Babe I love the way we work it out
That's what love is all about

Repeat Chorus 3 times

(Robert Le Clair, Kimberlee Nash and Bill Nash)

You place your hand on His bible, and when you swear to tell the truth
His name is on our greatest monuments an' all our money too
An' when we pledge allegiance, there's no doubt where we stand
There's no separation, we're one nation under Him.

In God, we still trust here in America
He's the one we turn to every time the going gets tough
He is the source of all our strength, the one who watches over us
Here in America, in God, we still trust.

--- Instrumental ---

Now there are those among us
Who wanna push Him out
And erase his name from everything
This country's all about.

From the schoolhouse to the courthouse
They're silencing His word
An' now it's time for all believers
To make our voices heard.

In God, we still trust here in America
He's the one we turn to every time the goin' gets tough
He is the source of all our strength, the one who watches over us
Here in America, in God, we still trust.

Here in America, in God, we still trust.
Here in America.
Here in America, in God, we still trust.
Here in America, in God, we still trust.
Here in America...
