sunrise through the evergreens
another day is born
hills take on a golden glow
a corolina morn
i used to see it in her eyes
now i have to know
oh carolina
how could you let her go
oh carolina
if i had only known
oh carolina
i would have never gone
i though the beauty of the hills
would hold her here for me
id never dream while i was gone
you'd ever set her free
i trusted you with all my heart
and the only love id ever known
oh carolina
how could you let her go
oh carolina
if i had only known
oh carolina
i would have never gone
oh carolina
if i had only known
oh caroline
i would have never gone
i would have never gone

I'm gonna tell you right up front
So you will understand
I ain't gonna waste your time
'Cause I might not be your man.

We won't go makin' promises
'Cause you know it just ain't right
A promise is a promise girl
And tonight is just tonight.
Tonight is just tonight.

Don't say that you love me
If it don't feel right
Don't say that you love me
Just hold me tonight.

There ain't no need for broken hearts
I know in time they mend
Any fool can fall in love
It's so easy to pretend.

Don't tell me I'm the only one
If it doesn't mean a thing
Let's take tonight for what it's worth
And see what tomorrow brings.
See what tomorrow brings.

Don't say that you love me
If it don't feel right
Don't say that you love me
Just hold me tonight.

--- Instrumental ---

Don't say that you love me
If it don't feel right
Don't say that you love me
Just hold me tonight...

Well, I've been spendin' all my spare time sittin' home alone
Listenin' for the front door and starin' at the phone
Ever since that night in Texas you're all that's in my brain
And long distance ain't the answer my little heart can't stand the strain.

I'm a waitin' for your love waitin' every night and day
Hopin' you'll come by and get me baby take me far away
I'm a waitin' for your love girl I ain't afraid to say
That you're all I ever wanted so come and steal my heart away.

Well, I was never one to beg you know I always played it cool so cool
But you've got me on my knees now you're the exception to the rule
Well there ain't no turnin' back you know I'm too far gone
So I keep the front door open and keep the porch light on.

I'm a waitin' for your love waitin' every night and day
Hopin' you'll come by and get me baby take me far away
I'm a waitin' for your love girl I ain't afraid to say
That you're all I ever wanted so come and steal my heart away.

I'm a waitin' for your love waitin' every night and day
Hopin' you'll come by and get me baby take me far away
I'm a waitin' for your love girl I ain't afraid to say
That you're all I ever wanted so come and steal my heart away.

You're all I ever wanted so come and steal my heart away...

(Vince Gill)

Give me half a chance to make you love me
Give me half a chance to make you stay
Give me half a chance before you leave me
Half a chance before you turn and walk away.

I'm holding on just like you told me
I put my heart right on the line
You know your love it really sold me
But I never had the chance to make you mine.

Just give me half a chance to make you love me
Give me half a chance to make you stay
Give me half a chance before you leave me
Half a chance before you turn and walk away.

--- Instrumental ---

You said you'd never say it's over
Well, I guess my heart can't beat your pride
You said I'll always be your lover
But you're gone and my tears still haven't dried.

Just give me half a chance to make you love me
Give me half a chance to make you stay
Give me half a chance before you leave me
Half a chance before you turn and walk away.

Half a chance before you turn and walk away...

It's six-o-five a.m. on Sunday morning
And I'm supposed to left for Memphis late last night
Well, I stopped at one of them old highway places
Because I did I sleep in Tyrone County jail tonight.

Well, I started out the night with good intentions
But I ended up gettin' sideways drinkin' wine
Well, the last thing I remember we were roaring
Then something hit my head and knocked me from my conscious mind.

And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around barrooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time I end up some place I don't belong.

--- Instrumental ---

I said jailer, hey, what you've got me charged with
He looked at me and halfway closed one eye
He said he mean to say you don't remember
Cuttin' up some honky with that bone handled knife.

And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around barrooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time I end up some place I don't belong.

Well, I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around barrooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time I end up some place I don't belong...

Now I ain't the best looking guy in the world
And I ain't got much money at all
But when our eyes met I never forget
That for you I could easily fall.

So why don't we just keep on dancing
While the band sings an old country song
Well, I won't be depressed if I ain't the best
But will I do till the best comes along?

--- Instrumental ---

I ain't got a mansion on some mountain top
And I ain't got no long limousine
But I've got a heart as warm as the sun
And I could love you like you've never seen.

So why don't we just keep on dancing
While the band sings an old country song
Well, I won't be depressed if I ain't the best
But will I do till the best comes along?

No, I won't be depressed if I ain't the best
But will I do till the best comes along?...

well ive got to stop livin the way i do
give my heart back to you
all those nights away from home
cause my lonely heart to roam
now ive got to stop livin the way i do
i spent a lifetime hurtin you
and i expect
someday you'll say we're through
it aint to late for me to change
please dont write our final page
still ive got to stop livin the way i do
ive gone to honeymoons to heart aches
faithful love to fool
hangin out in honkey tonks
with any girl but you
well I've got to stop livin the way i do
give my heart back to you
all those nights away from home
cause my lonely heart to roam
now ive got to stop livin the way i do
well ive said all that i can stay
but to turn and walk away
its to late to stop livin the way i do
