Keith Urban 1991 lyrics

The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh how I wish I was lying in the
Arms of Mary

She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh how I wish I was lying in the
Arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me
All I had to know
She put me right on the first mistake
And the summer wasn't gone
When I'd learned all she had to give

Hello blue stranger sittin' there all alone
With your glass of sorrow you seem so far from home
Maybe you will let me buy a round or two
I'm a blue stranger too

Hello blue stranger I haven't seen your around
But I know every reason for leavin' town
We might know each other before the night is through
I'm a blue stranger too

And strangers fall in love everyday
All lovers were strangers once

I've seen it happen too many times
And just where it starts I don't know
You're travelling steady but you don't see the signs
That tell you there's a fork in the road
And you don't think it's right but you're both turnin' away
And the ending is always the same
When suddenly parallel lives drift apart
And there's no one accepting the blame
But girl you and I we got too much too lose

It's six Monday morning, she's back into her routine
Kicks off the covers and thinks about last night's dream
Shower and coffee, she heads for the train
Thinkin' how every day's the same
There's gotta be more than life of her own
All that she wants is a man to come home too

CHORUS:
She's lookin' for someone to love her
And stay forever true
Just somebody who she can believe in

I hit the highway and I checked the time
I see the sunrise and it makes me wanna change my mind
Oh I got it bad
I stopped for a coffee in a nowhere town
A pretty waitress says "Hey what's the frown
Boy you got it bad"
Well so many times you told me before
If you don't like it, well there's the door
This time I've gone for good and I got it bad

CHORUS
I got it badder than a broken heart

Monday morning another workin' week ahead
Friday seems so far ahead
The clock keeps ringin', gotta get up out of bed
Maybe this could be the day
Motivation, well it keeps you holon' on
Every step of the way
Headin' in the right direction when you think you're turnin' wrong
Lookin' out for when you stay
So hear what I say
There's no other way, you gotta

CHORUS:
Hold onto your dreams

(Keith Urban)

Chorus:
I never work on a Sunday
I've got a life of my own
And this here is the one day
I spend with my family at home.

I left the office in a flash on Friday
Threw my boots in the car
Cashed my pay cheque & headed for the country
To sleep out underneath the stars
I drove all day Saturday and right into the evenin'
'Til there were no more city lights

We've spent a long time side by side
Guess I've loved you forever
Sometimes we laughed, , at times we cried
Still we made it together.

I don't know what I'd do without you
Girl you make me smile
You know I can't stop thinkin' about you
Oh, you drive me wild.

Chorus:
Baby, our love is still comin' on strong
You give me strength that I needed so long
I can't explain how I feel in my heart

can't believe it, guess I'll never understand
Seems to me, I'm lookin' at someone who's
an unchanged man
Tell me, what've I gotta do
To make you see that she's always loved you
Right there waitin' in the wings
Unaware of the foolish things you do, think about it

CHORUS:
She would never do a thing to hurt you
And there is nothing she'd ever need to hide

I've been through ups and downs
I haven't known which way to turn
And when I wander through this town
I only think of you

CHORUS
Only you, can take my bad heart and make it good
Only you, can take my crooked path and make it new

On the day that I was born
The cards were dealt, the dice were thrown
I think my destiny was drawn

REPEAT CHORUS

Only you, can take my bad heart and make it good

I know a place where love flows like water
You sit on the bank and pass the time away
So take my hand I want to show you something
My very own lover's hideaway

CHORUS:
And I will take you down the river
Where we'll will be lovin' in the shade of the old willow tree
I'll take you down to the river
Where you and I can just be you and me

I see us know just lyin' underneath the heavens

(G Burr/Keith Urban)

You come here lookin' for sympathy
'Cause it's not everything you thought it would be
Don't waste your time
You can't understand why it comes and goes
The sudden storms, the highs and lows
So you stand here cryin'
Girl get in line.

Chorus:
What love is that way
You're wastin' time pretending
What love is that way
When you walk through life expecting
So much, so soon

Oh girl you get to me
In a way I can't believe
I need you
And who knows where just friends ends
When your cross that line and love begins
In over my head and the water's turnin' blue

CHORUS
But what would I do
Without you
What would I do
Without you

Hearts never know the way
They want to go and want to stay
We need two
But in time you find the road
And though inside you know you've gotta go

I remember as a kid wishin' I was seventeen
No more school, my own car.
back then it was all a dream
Then came the day to say goodbye
To the room that was once mine
One last look at my old world then
I closed the door behind, to.

Chorus:
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be, yesterday.
