Girl Next Door

Crystal Bernard Girl Next Door Lyrics
1.Call It Love

(tony haselden)

You caught my eye without trying
You stole my heart away
From clear across the room
Somehow it was plain you felt the same
Looking back now we can't say
Exactly how we knew
All a wise man needs
Is one glimpse of destiny

There's an ancient fire deep in every heart
That no one but the perfect match can start
Like a bolt of lightning flashing in the dark
When fate lights forever up
Call it magic, call it love

Until that night love at first sight was
Just a childish fantasy
Like wishing on a star
And if you ask me now, don't ask me how
All i can say is i believe
The proof is in my heart
Nature's strongest force
Will always take it's course

There's an ancient fire deep in every heart
That no one but the perfect match can start
Like a bolt of lightning flashing in the dark
When fate lights forever up
Call it magic, call it love

Like a bolt of lightning flashing in the dark
When fate lights forever up
Call it magic, call it love


2.Could Have Been Mine

(craig wiseman/janie lambert)

So you say your new girlfriend's a little too friendly
You caught her telling one more lie, one too many
You say she won't love you right
She stays out so late at night
Lately you've been thinking about the time
You could have been mine, you could have been mine

It wasn't very long ago you had my attention
And what she did that turned your head, well, i won't
Mention
I won't say i told you so
But there's one thing you should know
I was seeing hearts and valentines
You could have been mine, you could have been mine

That's the chances we take
With the choices we make
There's gonna be mistakes from time to time
And you could have been mine

Now you've got your bed all made so lay alone in it
Don't even think about what we could've had for even
One minute
I'd have been your juliet
And never gave you one regret
But don't you let that cross your troubled mind
When you could have been mine, you could have been mine

That's the chances we take
With the choices we make
There's gonna be mistakes from time to time
Oh, you could have been mine, could have been mine


3.Eleven Roses

(crystal bernard/david rhyne)

A stormy summer came and went
In the garden that we grew back then
I remember when
The single rose you gave to me
With a vow that you would never leave
One you didn't keep
Regretfully i understand
Why the flower crumbled in my hands

There's only eleven roses
I know i should have known it from the start
Tell me why there's only
Eleven roses left here to show
Something's missing from your heart

Pressed between the pages
I see the missing rose you couldn't find
From the years gone by
Sadly we just threw away
What could've been a beautiful bouquet
So i turned the page
Tonight i just can't bare to see
The faded rose that meant the most to me

There's only eleven roses
I know i should have known it from the start
Tell me why there's only
Eleven roses left here to show
Something's missing from your heart

The only thing that we forgot
Is do you love me, or do you love me not

There's only eleven roses
I know i should have known it from the start
Tell me why there's only
Eleven roses left here to show
Something's missing from your heart


4.Have We Forgotten What Love Is

(billy dean/crystal bernard)

No wonder my heart is aching
On the verge of breaking down
The way we mistreat each other
What we're becoming now
Have we forgotten what love is

Remember when love was patient
Everything good and kind
The feelings we felt together
As our souls entwined
Have we forgotten what love is

'cause love
Holds no record of wrongs
And love
Is both gentle and strong
It can't be spoken or promised
It has to be shown
Have we forgotten what love is

I heard the voice of a distant angel
Reminding me and you
That love is not an expectation
Or something we failed to do
Have we forgotten what love is

'cause love
Holds no record of wrongs
And love
Is both gentle and strong
It can't be spoken or promised
It has to be shown
Have we forgotten what love is

Love has got a way of healing
Using the hands of time
Can even restore the feelings
Buried deep inside
Have we forgotten what love is

'cause love
Holds no record of wrongs
And love
Is both gentle and strong
It can't be spoken or promised
It has to be shown
Have we forgotten what love is


5.If You Have Love

(billy dean/crystal bernard)

Friends, i've had a few
Lovers too, they come and go
I've wasted time chasing dreams
Aquiring things, too young to know

That if you have heart
You'll find gold
If you have strength
You'll have control
If you have faith
You'll stand tall
But if you have love
You have it all

I've had a taste of sweet success
It's good at best if you're not alone
I came so close to a dream come true
When i held you i should have known

That if you have heart
You'll find gold
If you have strength
You'll have control
If you have faith
You'll stand tall
But if you have love
You have it all

If you have heart
You'll find gold
If you have strength
You'll have control
If you have faith
You'll stand tall
But if you have love
You have it all

Oh, if you have love
You have it all


6.Miracle

(mac mcanally)

In a holiday inn, in a bar, in a corner
A man sat starin' at the life that he'd been handed
Prayin' for a miracle to let him sleep

He's got a woman back home and a woman in the city
Both of them sittin' by the phone and he can't stand it
How could such a simple man be in so deep

When he believes in the miracle of love
And she believes the same
And he believes that the woman that shares his love
Should share his name, should share his name

Well, his head's sayin' no and his heart's sayin' maybe
Torn between the places he's been sleepin'
Prayin' for a miracle that he won't get caught

He's just an old-fashioned man with a modem day problem
Weighted down by the secrets he's been keepin'
The things he didn't think about and the things he thought

When he believes in the miracle of love
And she believes the same
And he dozed off thinkin' that the woman that bears his child
Should bear his name, should bear his name

There's a page turned down in the family bible
God never wrote what it said in there
It's the name and the number of a woman
In memphis, tennessee

Not a chapter away from the crossin' of the jordan
Pain that only she can bear
She's got the same full name as a woman in memphis

She believes in the miracle of love
She better believe the same
'cause he believes that the women that share his love
Can share his name, can share his name


7.State Of Mind

(crystal bernard/david rhyne)

It used to be easy, now i'm doin' my time
Workin' so hard i got a pain in my side
Runnin' up a hill tryin' to catch my breath
Nowhere to go when i need some rest
Where do i hide, take me away
From this lonely state of mind
I've got to say, it's time to play tonight

Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride
Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
I've been doing my best but there's one regret
That i live in this state of mind

My phone machine's beeping and it's hurting my head
Twenty-eight messages, i said
People come and go like a thief in the night
Taking my heart, stealing my time
Papers and dreams, what does it mean
When i'm in this state of mind
Polite as i seem, i want to scream inside

Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride
Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
I've been doing my best but there's one regret
That i live in this state of mind

Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride
Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
I've been doing my best but there's one regret
That i live in this state of mind

Oh, i've been thinkin' that i'm not living
But it's only just a state of mind
I've been doing my best but there's one regret
That i live in this state of mind


8.This Purple Heart

(billy dean/j.d. souther)

If i had a million hearts
I'd save the best for you
All i have is this one sad heart
Not quite torn in two
It's not exactly damaged goods
It's not exactly new
But this purple heart is true

Well, i have been the one to leave
And i have been left too
But still i wear it on my sleeve
Can't hide what we've been through

'cause we have been in love and war
We've got the scars to prove
That this purple heart is true

I will love you honestly
Tell me what else could i do
'cause this purple heart is true

You may find a heart of gold
Beneath this black and blue
'cause this purple heart
This purple heart is true


9.Till I Get Over You

(crystal bernard/david rhyne/rick wake)

Well, hold it right there
You're going nowhere
Until i tell you that you can
It wasn't me that told you
I didn't love you, so you
Can just sit down and hold my hand
There's some explaining
I'm anticipating how you're
Gonna let me down easy
Do everything you can to please me

You better hold me awhile
'til my eyes are dry
I think i have the right
But it may take me awhile
Till i get over you

Do you think it's easy
To just forget my feelings
And smile and turn the other cheek
'cause you're not stimulated
And i was temporary
Until you found the girl you'd keep
Years ago i told you
If you wanted to go you could
Well, i've changed my mind
I didn't know you'd go i'm a little behind

Hold me awhile
'til my eyes are dry
I think i have the right
But it may take me awhile
Till i get over you

Years ago i told you
If you wanted to go you could
Well, i've changed my mind
I didn't know you'd go i'm a little behind

Hold me awhile
'til my eyes are dry
I think i have the right
But it may take me awhile
Till i get over, till i get over you
Till i get over you


10.Too Far This Time

(vaughan penn/bernie leadon/david rhyne)

Well, here we go again
Another sleepless night
I don't think i have the strength
To take another fight
Well, what's the point of trying
We can't seem to get it right
I see black as black and baby
You see black as white
You've gone too far this time
Pushed our love to the limit
But still i can't imagine
Living life without you in it
Oh my, my an injustice has been done
It's a shame, it's more than a crime
You've gone too far this time

Just like a rerun movie
I've seen this show before
I reach out, you pull away
Get up and slam the door
Like some prima donna actor
Out in old time hollywood
Frankly dear, i don't give a
Anymore, but i wish i could

You've gone too far this time
Pushed our love to the limit
But still i can't imagine
Living life without you in it
Oh my, my an injustice has been done
It's a shame, it's more than a crime
You've gone too far this time, gone too far

Like some prima donna actor
Out in old time hollywood
Frankly dear, i don't give a
Anymore, but i wish i could

You've gone too far this time
Pushed our love to the limit
But still i can't imagine
Living life without you in it
Oh my, my an injustice has been done
It's a shame, it's more than a crime
You've gone too far this time
You've gone too far this time


11.When You Took Your Love Away

(skip ewing/liz hengber)

The moment that i looked at you a voice inside of me
Said you'd better guard your heart and love him cautiously
Well, if i'd only listened to the things i heard me say
I'd have still been standing when you took your love away

Tell me baby, was it hard to keep up your charade
Did you mark me from the start as a target to be played
I feel so badly cheated, i don't know what to say
Made it look so easy when you took your love away

I gave to you my inside, i gave to you my heart
I gave to you no reason to tear it all apart
Now i'm diggin' through the rubble of a trust that's been
betrayed
You did a lot of damage when you took your love away

The only hope i ever have about you any-more
Is someday, someone comes along to even up the score
You won't see it coming, you'll just look on in dismay
You'll be so blind sided when she takes her love away

I gave to you my inside, i gave to you my heart
I gave to you no reason to tear it all apart
Now i'm diggin' through the rubble of a trust that's been
betrayed
You did a lot of damage when you took your love away

I gave to you my inside, i gave to you my heart
I gave to you no reason to tear it all apart
Now i'm diggin' through the rubble of a trust that's been
betrayed
You did a lot of damage when you took your love away
Did a lot of damage when you took your love away


12.You're Gonna Miss A Whole Lotta Love

(dennis morgan/stephen allen davis)

Who started this, i don't know
You're already packed and ready to go
I hope she's worth it after all we've been through
You're breakin' my heart, but i have to be strong
So go right ahead, i'll get along
Just one thing you better know is true

You're gonna miss a whole lotta love
You're gonna wish you had me back
Late at night when you're starin' at the stars above
You're gonna miss a whole lotta love

Will she hold you close like i used to do
And think that look in your eyes is true
Does she believe those words you used to say to me
Do you even know how it makes me feel
To watch you throw away the dreams we built
Well, i hope she's everything you ever need

'cause you're gonna miss a whole lotta love
You're gonna wish you had me back
Late at night when you're starin' at the stars above
You're gonna miss a whole lotta love
You're gonna miss a whole lotta love

There's no use wastin' words anymore
I know it's over, what are you waitin' for, just remember

You're gonna miss a whole lotta love
You're gonna wish you had me back
When you're lying there starin' at the stars above
You're gonna miss a whole lotta love
