Breakaway

Kris Kristofferson Breakaway Lyrics
1.I'd Rather Be Sorry

If you hurt me, you won't be the first or the last
In a lifetime of many mistakes.
But i won't spend tomorrow regretting the past
For the chances that i didn't take.

'cause i'll never know 'til it's over
If i'm right or i'm wrong loving you,
But i'd rather be sorry for something i've done
Than for something that i didn't do.

When you touch me it's easy to make me believe
Tomorrow won't take you away
But i'd gamble whatever tomorrow might bring
For the love that i'm living today.

'cause i'll never know 'til it's over
If i'm right or i'm wrong loving you,
But i'd rather be sorry for something i've done
Than for something that i didn't do.

I know someday that i may wake up all alone
When the love i believed in has died
But at least i won't wonder what i might have won
>from the lifetime that i watched going by

'cause i'll never know 'til it's over
If i'm right or i'm wrong loving you,
But i'd rather be sorry for something i've done
Than for something that i didn't do.


2.I've Got To Have You

You came smiling softly
Shyly moving, easy as a dreamer, into my world
Then before i realized the danger
I found myself staring into your eyes
Somewhere in their colors
I saw promises of things i'd never seen before
It's all over; i've got to have you.

Holding onto talking, saying nothing
Knowing in a moment i could lose you
Then without a warning i remember
That you trembled at the touch of my hand.
Knowing when you came to me that
No one else would ever feel the same in my arms
It's all over; i've got to have you

Waking in the morning to the
Tenderness of holding you asleep in my arms
Dreaming while your hair was blowing
Softer than a whisper on your cheek
I don't know the feeling, so i don't know if it's love
But it's enough; it's enough
It's all over; i've got to have you.


3.Slow Down

Chorus:
I said slow down--
Slow down and live, my friend
Take time--take time to understand
The things--the things you hope to win
Before--before your journey's end

Slow down--slow down and try to do
The things--the things that's right for you
You know--you know
The soul--the soul
You save could be your own

Albert abernathy never spent a foolish dime
Rising at the crack of dawn and working overtime
You know, he never told me how much happiness he found
Yesterday we laid him in the finest grave in town.

Chorus:
I said slow down--
Slow down and live, my friend
Take time--take time to understand
The things--the things you hope to win
Before--before your journey's end.

Slow down--slow down and try to do
The things--the things that's right for you
You know--you know
The soul--the soul
You save could be your own.

Little sally tremble is a music city queen
You can see her picture now on every magazine
Sally's come a long way from the life she left behind
She's had six gold records and been married seven times!

Chorus:
I said slow down--slow down and live my friend
Take time--take time to understand
The things--the things you hope to win
Before--before your journey's end

Slow down--slow down and try to do
The things--the things that's right for you
You know--you know
The soul--the soul
You save could be your own.
