Between Now&Forever

Bryan White Between Now&Forever Lyrics
1.A Hundred And One

Tommy still drives that ol' pickup truck
He had back in high school
He says he won't trade it in
'cause they don't make 'em like they used to
His wife donna's got a picture of elvis
By the clock in the kitchen
Her hair and clothes come back in style
Every now and then
They made a promise on their wedding day
Nothin's gonna take this feeling away

Chorus:
Let the world turn
Let the years drift by
The fire will burn
In their hearts just as bright
Time may take its toll
But their love won't grow old
And if they live to be a hundred and one
They're still gonna die young

Tommy spent years fixin' wheels and brakes
At the texaco on the highway
Donna kept the kids and did permanent waves
At the beauty shop on fridays
It's been forty years but who'd ever know
By the way they carry on
Just the same two kids as much in love
As the day they married on
They made a promise on their wedding day
Nothin's gonna take this feeling away

(repeat chorus)

Gonna die young

(repeats 3 times)

They're still gonna die young


2.Between Now And Forever

I can't believe that i've found you
Fate did a number on me
If you end up with my arms around you
It's meant to be

Well, maybe my crazy is showing
But maybe i'm hooked on your touch
But wherever my life is going
There ain't no rush'cause

Chorus:
Wherever you're going
I'd like to go too
If you don't have anything
Better to do
I'd love to spend
Some more time together
So what are you doing
Between now and forever

I'll take the blue with the gray days
I just pray the road will be long
'cause if i'm beside you there's no way
I can go wrong

(repeat chorus)

I'd love to spend
Some more time together
So what are you doing
Between now and forever

What are you doing
Between now and forever


3.Blindhearted

I made a promise to myself
Never again
To get burned by someone else
Until you walked in

I felt the old magic begin
I felt the room startin to spin
As my will came tumbling down

Chorus:
I can't help it if i'm blindhearted
Fallin again
I can't help it if my heart has started
Slowly cavin in
And i keep on holdin out for you
Oh, i guess i'm just a blindhearted fool

I've got to find a way to live
On my own
I need to find someone who'll give
Me love that's strong

It's like a race against time
Until your face enters my mind
And you still
Burn me to the ground

(repeat chorus)

Tell everyone to gather 'round
They won't believe the view
They're looking at a blindhearted fool...
Over you


4.I'm Not Supposed To Love You Anymore

We agreed that it was over
Now the lines have all been drawn
The vows we made began to fade
But now they're gone
Put your picture in the shoebox
And my gold ring in the drawer
I'm not supposed to love you anymore

Now sherri said she's jealous
Of this freedom that i've found
If she were me she would be
Out on the town
And she says she can't imagine
What on earth i'm waiting for
I'm not supposed to love you anymore

Oh i shouldn't care or wonder where
And how you are
But i can't hide this hurt inside my broken heart
I'm fighting back emotions that i've
Never fought before
'cause i'm not supposed to love you anymore

Now i'm writing you this letter
And it's killing me tonight
That i agreed when you believed
It wasn't right
And i couldn't sleep up on the bed
So i'm down here on the floor
Where i'm not supposed to love you anymore

Oh i shouldn't care or wonder where
And how you are
But i can't hide this hurt inside my
Broken heart
I'm fighting back emotions that i've
Never fought before
'cause i'm not suppose to love you anymore

I'm fighting back emotions that i've
Never fought before
'cause i'm not supposed to love you
Anymore


5.Nickel In The Well

I've got a four leaf clover
I hung a horseshoe on the wall
I threw salt over my left shoulder
I'll try anything at all
To get lucky with you
I want you so much
Until you want me too
I ain't gonna give up

Chorus: i'll throw another nickel in the well
Tell myself this time maybe it'll help
To make my dreams come true
I'll make another wish upon a star
Just in case you're out in your backyard
Lookin up there too
With a lot of love and a little luck
You'll fall like i fell
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well

If i could get houdini
To teach me a trick or two
Then maybe you would see me
In the way i want you to
Gonna knock on wood
It ain't been easy
I've done everything i could
To make you need me

(repeat chorus)

With a lot of love and a little luck
You'll fall like i fell
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well


6.On Any Given Night

I'd be foolin myself, thinkin i've got it made
I just can't assume true love won't fade
I'll keep on listenin' to her, say i'm
Glad that i found her
Keep on showin' her how my world
Turns around her
'cause

Chorus:
On any given night
She could walk away
She won't be mine for the takin
And that's the price that i'd pay
'cause love's ever changin'
And in the blink of an eye
Teardrops could fall
And i could lose it all
On any given night

She's the sensitive kind, she needs a connection
And i cannot be so blind to lose my direction
I'll keep on walkin' that mile, show
Her how far i'll go
Keep on letting her hear all she needs to know

(repeat chorus)

Teardrops could fall
And i could lose it all
On any given night


7.Sittin On Go

I'm waiting on the green light to make you mine
But your heart's just taking its own sweet time
You want to be sure if you'll sink or swim
Well, grab a hold of me and just jump on in
You're playin it safe
But baby i'll wait

Chorus:
Ooh, whenever you're ready
I could be yours in a second or so
Ooh, baby come and get me
My heart's sittin' on go
Ooh, its off to the races
All you've gotta do is let me know
Ooh, i'm ready and waiting
My heart's sittin' on go

You oughta give in instead of resisting
Cause i'm not above a little arm twisting
I'm betting it's only a matter of time
Before you and me are standing at the finish line
You're having your doubts
But you'll come around

(repeat chorus)
You're playin it safe
But, baby i'll wait

(repeat chorus)
My hearts sittin on go
My hearts sittin on go


8.So Much For Pretending

Straight out of some story
You walked in, in all your glory
I thought you were perfect for me
I was out of my mind
Looked like i was winning
It was the best love i'd ever been in
Just when we were beginning
The end-you left me behind

And i was looking forward to a happy ending
So much for pretending

I should have known better
Than to think of happy ever
After-you and me together
I was out of my league
I kept my heart hidden
And now i'm wishing that i didn't
Oh who am i kidding
You weren't even intrigued

And i was looking forward to a happy ending
So much for pretending

It could have been beautiful
If i'd only met you
If i'd only let you know
What you meant to me
And if i could i would
Give you a demonstration
Of how my imagination
Thought it ought to be
So much for pretending

Ooh yeah, pretending...pretending
So much for pretending


9.Still Life

Out on the porch swing
Like some old painting
He seems like he don't move at all
And somewhere a bell rings
And he's just remembering
The last time that she ever called
He picks up the phone and he says to the dial tone

Chorus:
It's still life without you
And i still hold on
What i feels like
You can't go by that
It's still life....still life without you

The chances were given
To get on with livin
The truth is that he never tried
And no one ever sees him
Most folks don't even
Remember which one of'em died
But he still denies it.. he closes his eyes and...

(repeat chorus)
Oh still life..still life without you

Out on the porch swing
Like some old painting
He seems like he don't move at all


10.That's Another Song

I used to sing to her
It used to make her smile
She knew all the words
For a while
I sang love me tender
Always and forever
Hold me baby all night long
I could go on and on
But that's another song

We used to go for walks
On a country road like this
It's funny all the small
Things you miss
Like puttin' pennies on a train track
The way you brushed your hair back
The sun on your face
I wish i were there today
But that's another place

Oh, the way i used to hold her
The things i should've told her
If i could make the clock unwind
Back to when she was mine
But that's another time

(repeat chorus)

I could go on and on and on
But that's another song
