Lee Ann Womack Album

(Brett Beavers/Tom Douglas)

Hey Mona Lisa, who was Leonardo
Was he Andy Warhol
Were you Marilyn Monroe

Hey Mozart, what kind of name is Amadeus
It's kinda like Elvis
You gotta die to be famous

I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me

I'll probably never hold the brush
That paints a masterpiece
I'll probably never find the pen
That writes a symphony
But if I will love then I will find
That I have touched another life
And that's something
Something worth leaving behind

Hey Midas, they say you had the magic touch
But even all that shiny stuff
Someday's gonna turn to dust

Hey Jesus, must have been some Sunday morning
In a blaze of glory
We're still telling your story

I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me

I'll probably never dream a dream and watch it turn to gold
I know I'll never lose my life to save another soul
But if I will love then I will find
I have touched another life and that's something
Something worth leaving behind

Hey baby, see the future that we're building
Our lives live on
In the lives of our children

(Gretchen Peters)

I was a long lost soul
I was a burnt out case
I felt my heart grow old
I wore a stranger’s face
I built a wall so high
I built a gulf so wide
I saw my life go by
On the other side
I wasn't looking for a miracle
Just hoping for relief
But you gave me something
Something to believe

Chorus: I saw your light
and I was changed
I was changed
I saw your light
And nothing is the same, no, no
Maybe all of us are weak
Maybe love is fast asleep
In the middle of an endless night
I saw your light
I've come a long, long way
I walked a crooked road
And there was hell to pay
And there were miles to go
I thought I'd lost my nerve
I thought I'd lost my spark
Life had thrown a curve
And I was in the dark
I wasn't looking for a miracle
Just hoping for relief
But you gave me something
Something to believe

(Monty Powell/Anna Wilson/Jimmy Lee Sloas)

I get lonely
But I get along
I still think about you
Is that wrong?
I talked to your brother
He said, you got a line on a job
You’ve been jettin' around
Like some big shot
You're running from old memories
You're running out of time, so

Chorus:When you gonna run to me baby? 
When you gonna run to me darlin'?
Well, I know it sounds crazy
But I know in my heart
You can run for a lifetime
And not get that far
You're running on empty
You're running on fire, so
(Repeat Chorus)

'Cause in the end you will stand once again by my side
But until then I know waiting's as hard as good-bye
You're running out of reasons
You're running out of time, so 
(Repeat Chorus) 

When you gonna run to me baby
When you gonna run to me
When you gonna run to me

(David Grissom/Kevin Hunter)

If your heart is willing, then your head can rest
Start at the beginning, lay it down on my chest
If your soul is living, do your best
Start at the beginning, I'll do the rest

Chorus: If you can tell me what you're thinking
Find the words for how you feel
Understanding is forgiving
I can give you what you need
Darling, talk to me
As I sit here breathing, as I watch you undress
As your shoulder catches the sun in the west
As you cry so softly, put your fears to rest
Forgive yourself, let your tears steal your breath
(Repeat Chorus twice)

Talk to me

(Kim Patton Johnson/Devon O'Day)

I knew this kid, his name was Michael
He was only four years old
We sat on a rock and started talkin'
And he told me things I didn't know
He said yesterday he was an Indian
And how he played with buffalo
Well, I got a sense that he had been there
And he made me really wanna go

Chorus: Remember waitin' all year for December
Thought God was cryin' when it rained
And that the stars were fireflies
Dreams were real and big as life
It was forever everyday
I was tuckin' in my little girl
She held my hand and we said a prayer
I prayed, "Bless Grandma with the angels."
And she said, "Hey Mom, she's standin' over there."
Well, I couldn't see her but I don't doubt it
Maybe 'cause I'm older and less wise
What if Heaven’s all around us
But only seen through children’s eyes
(Repeat Chorus)

They say when you're old you're a child again
But do we have to wait 'till then 
(Repeat Chorus) 

Forever

(Julie Miller)

Come all you broken hearted, come and lay your burden down
Come kings and queens, come royalty surrender up your crown
Come empty-handed come with nothing of your own to claim
Come naked, poor, come like a child to ride the orphan train

Chorus: Come ride, ride on the orphan train
Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name
Come ride, ride on the orphan train, it'll take you all the way home
The way is narrow, it is steep that brings you to the door
But love awaits there to embrace your heart forevermore 
(Repeat Chorus) 

Come you abandoned, you forsaken
Friendless and alone, come refugees left homesick for
Some place you've never known
Here princes, paupers, criminals and saints are all the same
No more or less than God's beloved child aboard this train 

(Repeat Chorus twice)

It'll take you all the way home

(Julie Miller)

I need something like morphine only better
I need something like a kiss that lasts forever
I need something like money that will not burn
I need something and I need more, more than I can earn

Chorus: I need something, what can I do?
Hey, I need something, I need you
I need something like a cure for my soul
I need something like amnesia, for things I know
I need something like a mother, 'cause I'm just a child
I need something like an asylum, 'cause I go wild
(repeat Chorus) 

I need something like dynamite for the mess I'm in
I need something like a tattoo underneath my skin 
I need something more than a lover in my bed
I need somebody here with me, here with me in my head 

(repeat Chorus) 

I need something bad and I need it now
I got something wrong with me, you can see
I think you better fix it 'cause I don't know how
Hey, I need something, what can I do
Hey, I need something, I need you
I need something, what can I do
Hey, I need something, I need you 

(Matraca Berg/Angelo)

Should've known you'd come around
Did your conscience bother you?
Well, I guess I forgive you now, but that's all that I can do
Ain't nothing lonely as the truth
Chorus: You should've lied to me baby

You should've tried just a little bit harder now baby
You see my pride has been talking to me lately
And you can't come back, you can never come back
I won't stand another woman
You should've lied
You overestimated me
Thinking I would understand
Believing that your honesty
Would make me see a bigger man
Was that all part of your plan 

(Repeat Chorus twice) 

You should've lied
You should've lied to my baby
You should have lied 

(Dale Dodson/Hank Cochran/ed Lane)

Don't feel sorry for me
It's not like it seems
Yeah, he left this morning
Tonight I've got my dreams and memories

Chorus: He'll be back
He'll be back
If he's anything like his memory
He'll be back

Early morning kisses
Deep down hidden wishes
Old friends come to visit
That's how I remember him to be 

(Sally Barris/Karyn Rochelle)

Baby, it’s like dreaming when you’re wide-awake
Surrender
Baby, would you, would you like to go to paradise with me
Let me kiss you, let me love you
Close your eyes and you'll see
The sun is shining, the tide is rising
The water's pulling at our feet
Hold your breath, now take my hand and come with me
Let me just take you there, I could just take you there
Won't you let me take you there right now
Leave the world waiting there, leave it without a care
Baby, if you dare, I'll show you how

Chorus: Waves are washing over me
Set your spirit free, surrender
Baby, emotions run deep
Let's go underneath, surrender
No defenses, just your senses
And the pounding of a heart
It's like dreaming when you're wideawake
Every time I take you in my arms
Let me just take you there
I could just take you there
Won't you let me take you there right now?
Feel the heat on your skin
Sweeter than it's ever been
Why don't we just give in to it now? 

(Repeat Chorus) 
Let me just take you there
I could just take you there
Won't you let me take you there right now?
Feel the heat on your skin
Sweeter than it's ever been
Why don't we just give in to it now? 

(Repeat Chorus twice)

Baby, would you, would you like to go to paradise with me
Hold your breath now 
Take my hand and

(Bruce Robison)

You're standing there, that look in your eye
You're looking for good ways to tell my good-bye
Something 'bout people, how they never know
They're loving somebody, then lettin' them go
You're looking for reasons but there ain't no need
You can blame it on me
Blame it on me, I was the one
I had no right to turn it all wrong
I held you too close, I couldn't let go
Can't loose your cool these days I know
I'll go on home and you can feel free
To blame it on me
I am too rough, I work too hard
I got no cool friends, I drive an old car
I'm not the picture of any man's dream
Handful of bluebonnets, boots and old jeans
I was a fool to think it could be
So blame it on me
Blame it on me, I was the one
Acting like real life was some old love song
I held you too close, couldn't let go
Can't loose your cool these days I know
Thinkin' forever, ever could be
So blame it on me
When you start looking for ways out of love
Then I've been making mistakes by the dozen
So if you want to leave
You can blame it on me
I held you too close, couldn't let go
Can't loose your cool these days I know
So I'll go on home and you can feel free
To blame it on me
Blame it on me

(Dave Loggins/John Bettis)

The phone rang... I said, "Hello."
He said, "Can we talk baby?"
And I said, "Darlin' I’m closed for the night."
And he said, "Well, I saw a light."
Yeah, but there's nobody home
I think you're lookin' for someone or something
That's either missin' or gone

Chorus: And I think it's time I hung a sign in the window
'Cause I'm tired, I'm so tired of my heart goin' broke
I'm goin' out of business
There's no need for you to come around
'Cause I'm closin' this memory down
I'm closin' this memory down
And then there was silence
You know...like there always is
When one doesn't understand
The other has nothin' left to give tonight
Let it be closin' time
I can't go on livin' like this
I think you're lookin' for someone or something
That's either missin' or I just can't help you with
(Repeat Chorus) 

You don't know how hard love worked
But just how badly love hurt to fail
The phone rang...I said, "Hello."
He said, "Can we talk baby?"
And I said, "Darlin' I'm closin' this memory down."

Hey Mona Lisa, who was Leonardo
Was he Andy Warhol

Hey Mozart, what kind of name is Amadeus
It's kinda like Elvis
You gotta die to be famous

I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me

I'll probably never hold the brush
That paints a masterpiece
I'll probably never find the pen
That writes a symphony
But if I will love then I will find
That I have touched another life
And that's something
Something worth leaving behind

Hey Midas, they say you had the magic touch
But even all that shiny stuff
Someday's gonna turn to dust

Hey Jesus, must have been some Sunday morning
In a blaze of glory
We're still telling your story

I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me

I'll probably never dream a dream and watch it turn to gold
I know I'll never lose my life to save another soul
But if I will love then I will find
I have touched another life and that's something
Something worth leaving behind

Hey baby, see the future that we're building
Our lives live on
In the lives of our children
And that's something Something worth leaving behind
