Songbook [MCA] lyrics

How do I get through one night without you
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be
Oh I, I need you in my arms
Need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul
If you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything good in my life.

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There would be no world left for me and I,

In another's eyes
I'm someone who
Loves her enough to walk away from you
I'd never cheat, I'd never lie
In another's eyes

In another's eyes
I can do no wrong
He believes in me and his faith is strong
I'd never fall or even compromise
In another's eyes

In another's eyes
I'm afraid that I can't see
This picture perfect portrait
That they paint of me
They don't realize
And I pray they never do

Sunday morning when the paper comes
Let's read it front to back
And see what's going on
Drink our coffee by the flower bed
And talk about the stuff that's running through our heads
When you look at me the way you do
I can't help but look right back at you

Yeah this is a perfect love
We're doing nothing but what a perfect love does
We're not trying to make history
It's just you and me

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breakin away this time
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign.

No turning back
I've come too far
I'm headed down 4

I'm not quite sure what's goin' on, but all day through and all night long,
I've been thinkin' about you,
I've been thinkin' about you.

The look in your eyes when you smile that way,
the sound of your voice sayin' my name.
I've been thinkin' about you,
just keep thinkin' about you.

This single minded fascination I've got,
do you call it love? If you don't then what?

Phone rings, baby cries
TV died, guru lies
Good mornin' honey.

Go to work, make up
Try to keep the balance up between love and money
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Signed her letters with X's and O's.
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's tryin' to make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl
An American girl.

Slow dance, second chance
Mama needs romance
