Room With A View

Carolyn Dawn Johnson Room With A View Lyrics
1.Georgia

If I'm not over you, by the time I get to Georgia,
Then I guess I'll be Alabama bound,
There was a time when I'd do anything for ya,
But this time baby, I won't turn around.

I always wanted to get married, and I thought you were the one,
But you never, ever asked me and I was tired of hangin' on,
You know a girl can only be let down, so many times before she
runs,
And now this little bitty town's only got room for one of us,
yeah.

You always said I'd never leave, and if I did I wouldn't go far,
So I know how I must look with my tank o' gas and beat up heart,
Well, baby I'm gone for good, you can count on that,
I'm gonna keep headin' west 'til I'm too far gone to come back,
yeah.

CHORUS:
And if I'm not over you, by the time I get to Georgia,
Then I'll be Alabama bound,
There was a time when I'd do anything for ya,
But this time baby, oh, I won't turn around.

I only got ten miles to go, before I cross the state line,
I can feel my hands shaking, 'cause they usually turn the wheel
around about this time,
I heard that same ol' voice inside, I had to drown it out,
So I found me a radio station playing something fast and I
turned it up real loud.

REPEAT CHORUS

There was a time when I'd do anything for ya,
But this time baby, oh, I won't turn around, yeah,
No I won't turn around,
If I'm not over you by the time I get to Georgia, then I'll head
to Alabama,
Roll on to Mississippi, or maybe Louisiana,
I'll drive all the way to California,
Oh, I won't turn around,
No, I won't turn around,
No, I won't turn around,
No, I won't turn around.


2.Just Another Girl

You always had a way with words
So you can just imagine when I heard
You say she would be your wife
Yeah it cut me like a knife
It wasn't very long ago
I was the one that you would hold
All through the night
Yeah so this just doesn't seem right
I could try and win you back
But I'm the one who left
Guess I gotta except that now I'm

CHORUS:
Just another girl
Yeah, I'm just another girl
I used to be the queen
I used to be the one who rocked your world
And now I'm just another girl

Sure looks like you adjusted well
For someone who swore there was no one else
And I couldn't be replaced
That's obviously not the case
Peel away my coat of pride
You're bound to see the sting
Over some little ring
Now I'm...

CHORUS:
Just another girl
Yeah, I'm just another girl
I used to be the queen
I used to be the one who rocked your world
And now I'm just another girl

BRIDGE:
Another time another place
Another girl another face

CHORUS:
Just another girl
Yeah, I'm just another girl
I used to be the queen
I used to be the one who rocked your world
And now I'm just another girl


3.I'll Think Of You That Way

There must have been a reason
We first got together
There must have been a reason
We use to talk forever
It's hard to see it now
'Cause it's easier to think
Of what went wrong

I could keep pointin' fingers
I could stay mad as hell
Just let my anger linger
But as far as I can tell
I've just got to let it go
If I wanna move on

Chorus:

So I'll think about how you made me laugh
Not think about how you made me cry
Think about how we both swore
We'd love each other till we died
Forget about who's to blame
Just remember your smilin' face
It's a choice I've had to make
So I'll think of you that way

Seems like I paint you now
In colors of forgiveness
I lost the pain somehow
And in its place there is this
Part of me that sees you in the light
I saw you in before

Chorus:

So I'll think about how you made me laugh
Not think about how you made me cry
Think about how we both swore
We'd love each other till we died
Forget about who's to blame
Just remember your smilin' face
It's a choice I've had to make
So I'll think of you that way


4.Love Is Always Worth The Ache

I'm through playin' it safe
It's time I laid it on the line
Wanna dance out on the edges
Get a little reckless in my mind
Cause even a heart that's locked away, can find a way to break
I won't hide it now, I'm through making that mistake

Chorus:
One fall, thats all
I don't know who it's gonna be
Out there, somewhere
Someone is waiting just for me
No pain, no gain
There's not a chance that I won't take
Cause love is always worth the ache

Love's like a Vegas wheel
You've got to spin to win the prize
But it's a gamble worth the taking
You say a prayer and then you roll the dice
They say it's hard to beat the odds,
I say it's harder not to try
I will play the game,
Do what it takes to get it right

(Chorus)

They say it's better to have loved and lost
Than to have never loved at all

(Chorus)


5.Complicated

I'm so scared that the way that I feel is written all over my
face
When you walk into the room I wanna find a hiding place.
We used to laugh, we used to hug, the way that old friends do.
But now a smile and the touch of your hand just makes me come
unglued.
It's such a contradiction
Do I lie or tell the truth?
Is it fact or fiction?
Oh, the way I feel for you.

It's so complicated
I'm so frustrated,
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away,
I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay.
Should I say it?
Should I tell you how I feel?
Oh, I want you to know, but then again I don't,
It's so complicated.

Just when I think I'm under control, I think I finally got a
grip,
Another friend tells me that my name is always on your lips.
They say I'm more than just a friend, they say I must be blind.
Well, I admit that I've seen you watch me from the corner of
your eye.
Oh, it's so confusing,
Yeah,I wish you'd just confess.
But think of what I'd be losing,
If your answer wasn't yes.

It's so complicated
I'm so frustrated,
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away,
I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay.
Should I say it?
Should I tell you how I feel?
Oh, I want you to know, but then again I don't,
It's so complicated.

I hate it
Cause I've waited so long for someone like you.
What do I do?

Oh, Should I say it?
Should I tell you how I feel?
Oh, I want you to know, but then again I don't.
It's so complicated.

It's so complicated.
It's so complicated.


6.I Don't Want You To Go

Monday morning is such a rush, uh-uh uh yeah
Here it is again sneaking up on us, uh-uh uh yeah
This is the part you know I don't like
We say goodbye and then we kiss goodnight, uh-uh uh yeah
I know it's one o'clock and you said you would be gone by ten
So much for those 8 hours I swore that I'd get in

I know I should get some sleep
I am at the beginning of another long week
But I don't want you to go
No, I don't want you to go
I guess another minute wouldn't do no harm
Why not spend it in each other's arms
Cause I don't want you to go
No, I don't want you to go

We always say, just one more kiss
But it always seems to never end like this, uh-uh uh yeah, uh-uh
uh yeah
A few dozen and a couple more
Before we know it its after four, uh-uh uh yeah
I know tomorrow my best friend will be my coffee cup
Cause here we go again watching the sun come up, yeah


I know tomorrow my best friend will be my coffee cup
Because here we go again
Watching the sun come up, oh yeah


7.You Are

The sunlight on my shoulder
The smile on my face
My secret weapon
My favorite place
The reason my heart skips a beat
The broom that sweeps me, off my feet

A gentle inspiration
My weary soul's salvation
The half that makes me whole
The gravity that grounds me
The arms I want around me
Never letting go

I've lived, I've lived enough
To know what is, and what's not
You are - you are

All the love I wanna make
Every breath I wanna take
The rush thats running, down my spine
The touch that takes me every time
An innocent seduction
I can't get enough and
I can't help but let it show
I lose all my composure
I'm totally exposed and
The reason I let go is...

I've lived, I've lived enough
I know what is, and whats not
You are - you are

My every hope, my every dream
You are my everything

I've lived, yeah
I've lived enough
I know what is, and I know whats not
You are - you are
you are - you are

Th sunlight on my shoulders, the smile on my face
My secret weapon, my favorite place


8.Masterpiece

There were forty little houses
And a place they called High River
And everyone knew
Tim since the day he was born
He was a little different,
Some might call it slow
But when Nelly moved to town she saw his heart of gold
They found each other and never spent another day apart
Whoever would have dreamed that in his quiet eyes
She'd find the peace to make her life complete

Chorus

Oh you could say it was a work of art
That someone took a brush and painted their hearts
Together they made such a beautiful thing
Oh if there was anything that they could do right
It was painting love in the perfect light
So we could see that love is a masterpiece

Tim always had a little trouble with letters and numbers
So Nelly paid the bills and read all the mail
No one worked harder for miles around
Tim was the best farm hand
And Nelly was proud
A year went by of saving their nickels and dimes
They had a little boy
They named him Daniel
He became their pride and joy

Chorus

Everyone said that they were so close to heaven
That they didn't have far to go
Somehow it all made sense they went together
That night on that dark road

Chorus

Hey
Love is a masterpiece
Love is a masterpiece
Hey yeah
Love is a masterpiece
Is a masterpiece
Love is a masterpiece
Love is a masterpiece
Love is a masterpiece


9.Little Bit Of This, Little Bit Of That

Little bitty baby, takes her first step
Out in the big ole world
Falls on her butt, and picks herself up
Daddy says that's my girl
You go to school, subtraction and addition
You learn to give and take
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
You're gonna make mistakes

Chorus:
It takes a little bit of this, and a little bit of that
A little bit of good, with a little bit of bad
You know that life's a contradiction
And you can't escape the fact
You gotta take a little bit of this
With a little bit of that

Two hearts and opposite attraction
It's just their luck they fall in love
He wants it his way, and she wants it hers
Working out all that stuff

Chorus

It all makes sense once you discover
You can't have one without the other
It takes a little bit of this with a little bit of that
A little bit of good with a little bit of bad

Chorus


10.One Day Closer To You

My married friends keep asking
When I'll settle down.
They tell me time is passing
And there's not too many good ones still around
I tell them I am not afraid to be alone
And there's no need to rush
Into something wrong.

So I'm not gonna worry
No I'm in no hurry
It's in the hands of fate, theres nothing I can do.
And it might be tomorrow
Or the one that follows
I've got the rest of my life to look forward to
Cause every day is one day closer to you

You might be in Montana, living in the hills
Or you might be in Virginia, working in the mill
All I know is that I haven't found you yet
And who knows
Maybe we've already met

So I'm not gonna worry
No I'm in no hurry
It's in the hands of fate, theres nothing I can do.
And it might be tomorrow
Or the one that follows
I've got the rest of my life to look forward to
Cause every day is one day closer to you

Oh everyday I pray that God will keep you safe.
Cause I know you're out there somewhere.

So I'm not gonna worry
No I'm in no hurry
It's in the hands of fate, theres nothing I can do.
And it might be tomorrow
Or the one that follows
I've got the rest of my life to look forward to
Cause every day is one day closer yeah
everyday is one day closer
everyday is one day closer to you
Hey yeah


11.Room With A View

They gave you a corner room on the fifth floor
The city lights were like candy, to a kid in a store
Like a king you would lay in your bed so statefully
So thankful they gave you a room with scenary

You always were so healthy, so full of life
So seeing you so helpless, just didn't seem right
But how you kept your head so high I'll never know
I guess you knew you had a better place to go

Chorus:
Now you've got a room, with a view
A window to the world
You always had your sights set high
And now that you're gone, your memory lives on
And I see you smiling in my mind
With angels as visitors dropping by
Your room with a view

I'll always miss you
I'll always feel the loss
I have to remind myself that you're better off
I gotta believe even through these tears of mine
Wherever you are there's a sun that always shines

(Chorus)

With angels as visitors, dropping by
Your room with a view
