Faith In You lyrics

Dear Annie I'm sorry it's been a long long time
There's so much on my mind
I want to call you I'm dropping you this line
Lieu of walls I can't climb
Thought I'd let you know since I let you go
I've come to rue the day
A silly card I guess but I must confess
There's so much more to say
Longer letter later

I blew it I know it and all I have to show
Is this heartache I feel

(Marcus Hummon/Annie Roboff/Steve Wariner)

I've been recording I love you
Then rewinding the tape
I've been hiding my colors from you
In a box of paints
I've been saving my poetry about you
On a written page
Now it's time to come on out…no I can't wait

Chorus:
It's high time you knew
Everything you mean to me
What I feel for you
Coming up from underneath soul deep

Everybody say's that I'm a fool
For the way that I love you
But it just happened I don't have a choice
I can't help it I just do

Chorus:

You can't stop the rain from falling down
Or make the sunshine not kiss the ground
And I can't tell this broken heart to stop loving you
No I can't help it I just do

I miss you sleeping softly next to me
Yes I had it all when I had you

Lyin' awake at night
Thinkin' about my life
Train rumblin' thru our town
Walls shake like they're coming down

You sleep like nothings wrong
You don't know tomorrow I'm gone
You don't hear the whistle's sad cry
You don't see the tears in my eyes

Chorus:
I wish I were a train rolling on a track
With three choices
Stop on a dime move ahead or go back

I didn't mean to stumble and I didn't mean to fall
But it's hard to keep your balance when your running into walls
But there's an explanation baby for the situation I'm in

Chorus:
I am blinded by the light of your love
I don't know where I'm going or which way is up
I've never been lost and liked it so much
I am blinded by the light of your love

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night
And wonder where you were
You need the one and only that can hold you tight
And reach for her, but she's not with you
You just wish this trip would end
You know I've been there and I don't wanna go back again

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the day
And wonder who you are
You suddenly discover there's a price you pay

Jimmy was a shadow the youngest of three boys
How he longed to feel the light
Jimmy's older brothers sure could make some noise
So he became the quiet type
But deep inside he had some powerful dreams
He'd think about them then he'd smile

Chorus:
And he was gone, gone, to somewhere far beyond
Where he was strong, strong, shining in the sun

You say you're scared what if your heart breaks
Well that's just a chance you're gonna have to take
Cause if you wanna fly you've got to spread your wings
Take a leap of faith and see what it brings

Chorus:
It wouldn't be love
Baby if we didn't need it so much
Or if it were that easy to give up
If we didn't stand to lose it all
And if it didn't hurt so much to fall

I'm not the first guy who ever lost a girlfriend
But by the way I'm carrying on
You'd think I was you'd think I'd lost my mind
Since you've been gone
Why can't I just walk away
You know people do things a lot harder every day
And somehow they make it look so easy

Chorus:
Mark McGwire does it with a baseball bat
Dale Jarret does it on the race car track
Tom Hanks sure knows how to act

(Jim Witter/Steve Wariner)

I remember back when I was just a kid
A little schoolyard fight
And I'd come running home again
I'm not really sure what I wanted her to do
But my Momma's words would comfort me I knew
And she'd say

Chorus:
It's another turn in the road
It's another step along the way
You can count on me every minute night or day

Ridin’ down the road in her Oldsmobile
Tapping on the floorboard,
banging on the wheel,
Punchin’ ev’ry button on the radio,
But everything’s too slow.

Katie wants a fast one, quicker than the last one.
Only two times she gets that rush,
is makin’ tracks and kickin’ up dust.
Katie wants a fast one, you know she’s got to have one.

If you were the sun
And one day you lost all your light
And you disappeared
I'd stand in the dark all alone
And wait through the night
And I'd feel no fear
I might not know what to do
But you'd shine again like brand new
I've got that much faith in you

Chorus:
If ever the lights were to go out between us
If ever the raindrops should start to fall
