One Step At A Time

George Strait One Step At A Time Lyrics
1.I Just Want To Dance With You

I don't want to be the kind to hesitate
Be too shy
Wait too late
I don't care what they say other lovers do
I just want to dance with you

I got a feeling that you have a heart like mine
So let it show
Let it shine
If we have a chance to make one heart of two
Then I just want to dance with you

CHORUS:
I want to dance with you
Twirl you all around the floor
That's what they inteneded dancing for
I just want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
Hold you in my arms once more
That's what they invented dancing for
I just want to dance with you

I caught you lookin' at me
When I looked at you
Yes I did
Ain't that true
You won't get embarrassed by the things I do
I just want to dance with you

Oh the boys are playing softly
And the girls are too
So am I and so are you
If this was a movie we'd be right on cue
I just want to dance with you

REPEAT CHORUS


2.You Haven't Left Me Yet

The laughter is gone
The cryin' is over
And I'm not losing sleep anymore
The walls are all bare
The closet's half empty
The phone doesn't ring like before
I'm done with falln' apart
I'm waiting for my change of heart

CHORUS:
I wake up alone
Knowin' I'm on my own again
Got it all straight in my head
Must be something I missed
As I went down the list
Of the things that I need to forget
Everything's gone
But you haven't left me yet

I painted our room
Replaced all the curtains
And there's a new rug on the floor
Called up Good Will
Said come and get it
Everything she left behind is yours
I can still see you drivin' away
So why do I still see your face
When....

REPEAT CHORUS

There's not a picture left
Not a stitch of clothes
But there's still something here
And I don't believe in ghosts

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE


3.Neon Row

You've been out again tonight
With the girls ou on the town
But in those magic neon lights
I know exactly what you've found
What about your home
And a man who loves you so
Is it worth the thrill you feel
Down on Neon Row

CHORUS:
Where if you're lonely than you're easy
Them good ol' boys just pick and choose
And lonely women are in season
For one night stands, and all night blues
Where all those lonely high-heeled ladies
Are always puttin' on a show
But in the mornin' they ain't putting on coffee
They're putting back on the clothes
They wore the night before
To neon row

Girl, I can't hold you back
Not one day longer
If my love ain't strong enough to keep you home
Just start the fire
To burn the bridges
And maybe some night
We'll meet in the magic light
Down on neon row

REPEAT CHORUS


4.Maria

Ther'es a soft rain tappin' on your window
There's a cool breeze blowin' off the bay
And a warm flame dancin' with our shadows
To music playin' far away

I never meant to stay an hour
I thought that I was passing through
Another town along the highway
I never meant to fall for you

CHORUS:
But I can't speak for you Maria
I only know the way I feel
When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothing left for dreams to steal

On a Bible by the mirror
The only treasures that we hold
The only secrets that we're keepin'
A watch, a chain, a cross of gold

REPEAT CHORUS

When the sunlight brings the mornin'
I can't tell you what I'll do
But I've a mind to take you with me
And I've got heart to stay with you

REPEAT CHORUS

When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothin' left for dreams to steal


5.Remember The Alamo

Girl you were always my yellow rose
And I was your one lone star
We always said
Together til death do us part

We had a love bigger than Texas
Where is that feeling now
It's taken some hits and some losses but its fighting on
And standing somehow

CHORUS:
Remember the man who asked for your hand
In the moonlight of San Antone
There by the mission you let your position be known
That you loved me so
Don't forget where it started
Remember the Alamo

I think we can hold on and make it together
If we remember when
And get back to love
The way that it was back then

When we were hopeless romantics needing each other
Willing to take a chance
We strolled and we talked down the ol' river walk
To the heart of where it began

REPEAT CHORUS


6.We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This

We really shouldn't be doing this
And we both know why
Just being close enough to think like this
Enough to make you need to lie

This kinda talk will lead us to somewhere
We're gettin' way too close to going there
The farther off the better to resist
We really shouldn't be doin' this

Only an isolated incident
But the acquaintance left me stunned
The first attraction was the hardest hit
I thought I'd ever overcome

This kinda situation has to pass
This chance encounter has to be the last
To take it further we would be remiss
We really shouldn't be doin' this

We'd each be hurting somebody else
If we don't say our good-byes real fast
Won't even think about a farewell kiss
We really shouldn't be doin' this

Well....


7.True

True in this modern world when two lovers get together
Chances of 'em making it to forever
Couldn't be better than two in a million hearts
Girl this ain't just another run of the mill emotion
What I'm feeling is devotion
My love for you is true

CHORUS:
True like the sun comin' up each morning
Bright as a light in a baby's smile
Sure as a mountain river windin'
Right as the rain fallin' from the sky
Girl my love for you is true

True, not another minute on this earth can be borrowed
So there's no way to know when I'll live my last tommorow
But everyday I get, I'll share with you
This feelin' just keeps gettin' stronger as time goes by
It's written on my face, you can see it in my eyes
My love for you is true

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE


8.That's The Breaks

Well that's just great
Just what I needed
The icing on the cake
You're leaving
But I give up
Throw up my hands
There's nothing I can say or do
I've done all that I can

CHORUS:
That's the breaks
The way the cookee crumbles
What goes around comes around they say
That's the breaks
The way that ol' cookee crumbles
What's been coming round ain't been gong my way

Well surprise me
Tell me something new
I know leaving's what I've got coming from you
And I'm sorry
You know I am
But one way or another I'll come through
In one piece once again

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE

What's been coming round
Ain't been going my way
That's the breaks


9.One Step At A Time

I couldn't help but overhear your conversation
When you told her that you owned her heart and soul
You say you've got her wrapped around your finger
But there's something about angels you should know

CHORUS:
She'll walk away one step at a time
It'll take you by surprise
You'll think it happened over night
It'll be too late when you realize angels don't fly
They walk away one step at a time

Don't think I'm trying to mind your business
It's a full time job just trying to mind mine
But I once had an angel just like her
And if I'd treated her right she'd still be by my side

REPEAT CHORUS

It'll be too late when you realize angels don't fly
They walk away one step at a time


10.Why Not Now

You take it nice and easy
You play it safe 'cause that's what people do today
I guess that's ok
Girl somewhere in your mind
There must be a perfect time to fall in love
But baby I'm burning up

CHORUS:
So why not now, why not here?
Darlin' my heart just ain't too clear
Oh what are we waiting for
Cause I've never been so sure
Why not you, why not me
Livin' like we were meant to be
Together, forever
Why not now

Right here in this moment
We could start a love to stand the test of time
Baby you know that's right
No one knows tommorow
The mornin' sun could rise and take our chance away
Long gone with yesterday.....so

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
