Full Circle

(craig wiseman/trey bruce)

I wonder how we got like this
Your heart wasn't mine to take
Mine wasn't mine to give
And love wasn't ours to save
I shoulda let you when i could
When the memories
Weren't so many or so good
And one night was such a small price to pay

A small price to pay
When a touch was all it was
When the fire was just a candle flame
Throwing shadows of us
What i wouldn't give now
For those long gone yesterdays
When one night was such a small price to pay

Well i guess we'd better go
Maybe this time for good
But the last time wasn't though
But never again sure feels good to say
And i think back to the times
When everything i treasured wasn't on this fragile mind
And one night was such a small price to pay

A small price to pay
When a touch was all it was
When the fire was just a candle flame
Throwing shadows of us
What i wouldn't give now
For those long gone yesterdays
When one night was such a small price to pay
Back when one night was such a small price to pay

Would i
Would i
Would i

Would i go out honky tonkin' with you ever night
Dance every dance til i got them all right
Would i do every step the way you thought i should?
If i had you baby maybe yes i would
Would i

Would i wake up every morning,
Bring you breakfast in bed
With the right amount of butter on your toasted bread
Would i fix your brunch, lunch and dinner just as good?
If i had you baby maybe yes i would

Well, if i had you, there'd be nothing you could do or say
To ever make me make you go away
Would i
Would i
Would i

Would i cut my hair and change the way i dressed?
Finally get around to cleaning up this mess?
Would i happily give up my batcholorhood?
If i had you baby maybe yes i would
Would i

Would i tear everybody from my little black book
Tell 'em all i was over the urge to look?
Would i marry you then just to make sure they understood?
If i had you baby maybe yes i would

Well, if i had you, there'd be nothing you could do or say
To ever make me make you go away
Would i
Would i
Would i
If i had you baby maybe yes, yes i would

ants on a log
Floatin' down a river
Runnin' around
But not gettin' anywhere

Our steerin' wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log

I got an uncle
He plays a game
He can't win it
He's got a mold
Tries to fit everybody else in it
When's he gonna learn he's bangin his head on the wall?
He ain't gonna change
And he looks at me strange
When i tell him that i think we're all

Just ants on a log
Floatin' down a river
Runnin' around
But not gettin' anywhere
Our steerin' wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log

We all know people
Who yell at the cars and the traffic
Folks in a hurry
Life's full of heartache and havok
I finally learned how to lay back and let life happen
I just image the angels up in heaven
Lookin down at us and laughin

At ants on a log
Floatin' down a river
Runnin' around
But not gettin' anywhere
Our steerin' wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log

And just about the time you think you're rollin' in clover
Along comes a rabbit
And the world tips over

Ants on a log
Floatin' down a river
Runnin' around
But never gettin' anywhere
Our steerin' wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log

Yeah we're really just along for the ride like ants on a log

It's the last thing i needed
On a star-filled night
The one who broke my heart
Comin into sight
Walkin hand-in-hand with the one who holds her now
I feel the hurt returning and if only somehow

I wish it would rain
I wish it would rain
Oh, lord
So she won't see
What she's doing to me
Come on, now, sky
Be a friend to these eyes
And i know that i
Can't hold back the pain
I wish it would rain

It's been too long now
To hurt me so bad
But the love that we shared
Was the best that i've had
And my tear drops will fall when they go walkin by
There's no place to turn
And no place to hide

I wish it would rain
I wish it would rain
Oh, lord
So she won't see
What she's doing to me
Come on, now, sky
Be a friend to these eyes
And i know that i
Can't hold back the pain
I wish it would rain

I know that i
Can't hold back the pain
I wish it would rain

I'll bet that you're surpised to see me
Wonder what i'm doing at your door
But you can't be more surprised than i am
I thought i didn't need you anymore
Thought there was something waiting out there
Something i wanted but now it's so clear

Baby it's a cold, cold world
Out here tonight
It's nothing at all like i thought i'd find
So if you wonder why i'm standing here
I'm a little long on lonely, a little short on pride

If you slam the door, i wouldn't blame you
You've got every reason to turn me down
I was so sure i had the answers
After what i've been through, i'm not sure now
I won't say i love you, don't know if it's true
I will say i need you, god knows i do

Baby it's a cold, cold world
Out here tonight
It's nothing at all like i thought i'd find
So if you wonder why i'm standing here
I'm a little long on lonely, a little short on pride
I'm a little long on lonely, a little short on pride

(randy travis/buck moore/eddie lee)

Many nights, i've stood here by this window
Wondering if i'd always be alone
No one here to share this lonely bedroom
But that was long before she came along

Heaven only knows she's not an angel
But i was blessed the day she came to me
And when i close my eyes and lay beside her
I'll swear i can almost hear her wings

I never stopped to watch an evening sunset
Or tired to count the stars up in the sky
I never knew the world held so much beauty
Until i saw it through my baby's eyes

Heaven only knows she's not an angel
But i was blessed the day she came to me
And when i close my eyes and lay beside her
I'll swear i can almost hear her wings

And when i close my eyes and lay beside her
I'll swear i can almost hear her wings
