Steal Another Day lyrics

(Leroy Parnell/Steve Wariner)

Chorus:

Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long

I've been sittin' here starin' out the window
Huggin' on the telephone

I've been searchin' my mind tryin' hard to find

Somethin' that I did wrong

Oh, Carmelita why you been gone so long

I called your mama and your sister

I even called your daddy too

The telephone rings I grab all my things

And I take off down the street

The old man on the corner must have started kind of early

Tryin to rake up something to eat
I toss him a dollar cut across to the market

Ain't got a lot of time to waste

There's two men yelling at each other at the counter

Getting up in one another's face

Chorus:

Welcome to this world this crazy crazy world

(Allen Shamblin /Steve Wariner)

Christmas… what a wonderful time of year

But it can also be a dark and lonely time
And if you don't spend it with those you truly love

Well it can feel just like any other day

So this is a prayer for the lonely

Especially those children all around the world

Whose hearts have been torn apart this year

Chorus:

(Billy Kirsch/Steve Wariner)

We haven't seen the sun for seven days on end

The night has been our friend

Here we go again
There's a hunger and a thirst that only love can feed

Everything we need

Is here within our reach

CHORUS:

Wrapped up so the world won't find us

Alone and far away

Ooh let's steal another day

Leaving everything behind us

Together in this room

(Billy Kirsch / Steve Wariner)

Daddy always said he'd come back when the first snow came

Bringing treats like Santa Claus on Christmas day
Momma always said son don't you get your hopes too high

Daddy he's a dreamer reaching for the sky

Still I waited by the window at Christmas time

And I sat on the front steps as Easter rolled by

Then we moved to Arizona 'round the 4th of July

(Billy Kirsch/Steve Wariner)

Hey Hey what planet are we on

Everything seems wrong
Hey Hey tired of trying to survive

Living half alive

CHORUS:

I'm ready to ride this rocket baby come with me

To the other side of heaven our own galaxy

A million miles from anywhere

All we need is out of here

Let's go put some stardust in our pocket

Ready to ride this rocket

Here you come rolling off the highway

With a smile and a wave

And you put your arms around me

Like you left here yesterday
The last time you flew I said we were through

But now that you're standing here I melt into you

Oh I've been missing you

Dreamin' of kissing you

I think that you go so I will beg you to stay

It's an addiction a hopeless affliction

I'm who I am because you touched my life

And I believe right now you know

As long as there is a breath inside of me
I will never let you go

You will live in my heart forever

I'll forget about you-never

No matter what I do I won't stop loving you

Or the times that we had together

You will live in my heart forever

All the smiles and the laughter that we shared

(Allen Shamblin/Steve Wariner)

I've got everything that a man could want

Expensive toys that lots of hard work bought

I just had to have what was shiny and new
I fed the habit and neglected you

Then one night a light came on

I reached for you and you were almost gone

CHORUS:

If I don't have you I don't have anything

Even the gold is worthless in my ring

(Sam Hogin/Bob Regan/Steve Wariner)

Girl I'm not a saint and I'm a long long way from perfect

And I'm a hand full of trouble but I 'd like to think I'm worth it
Yeah I know I drive you crazy I'm hyper and I'm lazy

But admit it girl you love me like I am

Chorus

I'm your man I'm your boy

I'll give you grief I'll bring you joy

I'll be right there when you want me

I couldn't even count the times

I've had to look away

So you wouldn't see my teardrops fall

Like a river down my face
I'd trade you places if I could

I'd only be too glad

So you could be like all the rest

But it just don't work like that

But there will come a day my friend

All the pain and heartaches end

And the greatest gift we'll ever see
