Faith In You

Steve Wariner Faith In You Lyrics
1.High Time

(marcus hummon/annie roboff/steve wariner)

I've been recording i love you
Then rewinding the tape
I've been hiding my colors from you
In a box of paints
I've been saving my poetry about you
On a written page
Now it's time to come on outno i can't wait

Chorus:
It's high time you knew
Everything you mean to me
What i feel for you
Coming up from underneath soul deep
I am breaking through this shy little boy
Inside of me
It's high time you knew (you saw)
Everything you mean to me

I can see you in the morning
Gentle in my arms
Or fillin' jars with lightning bugs
Chasing shooting stars
Clinging to me like a promise
Around me like a ring
I can see it so clearly my heart soars and sings

Bridge:
Through my eyes you'll be so surprised

Chorus:


2.Faith In You

If you were the sun
And one day you lost all your light
And you disappeared
I'd stand in the dark all alone
And wait through the night
And i'd feel no fear
I might not know what to do
But you'd shine again like brand new
I've got that much faith in you

Chorus:
If ever the lights were to go out between us
If ever the raindrops should start to fall
Should the winds of distrust ever rock our foundation
I know we could weather it all
I might not know what to do
But i do know we'd make it through
I've got that much faith in you

And if you were the moon
And one night a big black cloud
Came and covered your face
I'd stand in the rain
Like a statue tall and proud
Till the clouds blew away
I might not know what to do
But you'd make the rain roll on through
I've got that much faith in you

Chorus:


3.I Just Do

Everybody say's that i'm a fool
For the way that i love you
But it just happened i don't have a choice
I can't help it i just do

Chorus:

You can't stop the rain from falling down
Or make the sunshine not kiss the ground
And i can't tell this broken heart to stop loving you
No i can't help it i just do

I miss you sleeping softly next to me
Yes i had it all when i had you
Tell me how can anyone love someone so much
I can't help it i just do

Chorus:


4.Katie Wants A Fast One

(rick carnes/steve wariner)

Ridin' down the road in her oldsmobile
Tappin on the floorboard bangin' on the wheel
Punchin' every button on the radio
But everything's too slow

Katie wants a fast one
Quicker than the last one
Only two times she gets that rush
Is makin' tracks and kickin' up dust
Katie wants a fast one you know she's gotta have one
Cause that's what makes her motor run
Katie wants a fast one

Tearin' up the yard on the ridin' mower
A neighbor yells katie better go a little slower
Takin' every corner up on two wheels
Is how she gets her thrills

Chompin' at the bit in the checkout line
Katie's got a thing about wastin' time
If she pulls up behind you in the car pool lane
Just get out of her way

Katie wants a fast one
Quicker than the last one
Only two times she gets that rush
Is makin' tracks and kickin' up dust
Katie wants a fast one you know she's gotta have one
Cause that's what makes her motor run
Katie wants a fast one


5.Turn In The Road

(jim witter/steve wariner)

I remember back when i was just a kid
A little schoolyard fight
And i'd come running home again
I'm not really sure what i wanted her to do
But my momma's words would comfort me i knew
And she'd say

Chorus:
It's another turn in the road
It's another step along the way
You can count on me every minute night or day
Cause if you have someone there for you
There is nothing that you can't get through
I will help you carry your load
When you come to a turn in the road

Those high school days when i thought i was a man
Not much time for her but mom would always understand
And when i came home broken cause i'd been given back my ring
She said a little time son it heals everything

Chorus:
Now the tables turned and mom is on her own
Yes it's been real tough on all of us since daddy's gone
And when she says she can't go on missing him for one more day
I just hold her close close to me and say

Chorus:


6.Make It Look Easy

I'm not the first guy who ever lost a girlfriend
But by the way i'm carrying on
You'd think i was you'd think i'd lost my mind
Since you've been gone
Why can't i just walk away
You know people do things a lot harder every day
And somehow they make it look so easy

Chorus:
Mark mcgwire does it with a baseball bat
Dale jarret does it on the race car track
Tom hanks sure knows how to act
And he makes it look easy
Dan rather does it on the evening news
Ray charles does it when he's singing the blues
The great ones do it any time they choose
So why can't i forget you
And make it look easy

I've got a secret and i want to keep it
So i try to be cool
I don't wanna show want no one to know
That i'll always be your fool
I wish that i could just walk away
People do things a lot harder every day
And you know they make it look so easy

Chorus:
Michael jordan did it and he carried the team
Spielberg does it on the movie screen
Oprah she's the tv queen
And she makes it look easy
Tiger woods does it with a little golf ball
Seems like elway did it every fall
The great ones do it any time they choose
So why can't i forget you
And make it look easy

Princess di she did it with class
Leno knows the right questions to ask
Nolan ryan did it with a pitch so fast
That he made it look easy
Chet atkins does it with a guitar pick
Wayne gretsky did it with a hockey stick
The great ones do it anytime they choose
So why can't i forget you
And make it look easy


7.It Wouldn't Be Love

You say you're scared what if your heart breaks
Well that's just a chance you're gonna have to take
Cause if you wanna fly you've got to spread your wings
Take a leap of faith and see what it brings

Chorus:
It wouldn't be love
Baby if we didn't need it so much
Or if it were that easy to give up
If we didn't stand to lose it all
And if it didn't hurt so much to fall
You know it wouldn't be love

Love can move mountains make right what is wrong
Nothing's as gentle yet quite so strong
And when the road gets rocky we'll be just fine
If we always remember and keep this in mind

Chorus:


8.Waiting In The Wings

Jimmy was a shadow the youngest of three boys
How he longed to feel the light
Jimmy's older brothers sure could make some noise
So he became the quiet type
But deep inside he had some powerful dreams
He'd think about them then he'd smile

Chorus:
And he was gone, gone, to somewhere far beyond
Where he was strong, strong, shining in the sun
They say that someday the meekest heart will sing
There was jimmy waiting in the wings

Susie was a waitress morning noon and night
But she never did complain
Jimmy'd stopped for lunch there at least a thousand times
But one monday something changed
She leaned across him with some chocolate pie
Then he looked into her eyes

Chorus:

And he was gone, gone, to somewhere far beyond
His heart beat strong strong he knew she was the one
They say that someday the meekest heart will sing
Love found jimmy waiting in the wings

Bridge:

And when he held her for the very first time
He found the one thing he'd been missing all his life

Chorus:

And they were gone, gone, to somewhere far beyond
Their love was strong strong two hearts beat as one
He stood beside her and she put on his ring
And when she smiled how his heart did sing

Tag:
They say that someday the meekest heart will sing
So remember if you're waiting in the wings


9.Been There

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night
And wonder where you were
You need the one and only that can hold you tight
And reach for her, but she's not with you
You just wish this trip would end
You know i've been there and i don't wanna go back again

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the day
And wonder who you are
You suddenly discover there's a price you pay
For gettin' this far, it's the part of you
That you really didn't have to spend
You know i've been there and i don't wanna go back again

Bridge:

So many moments i've left incomplete
Those are the moments that i'm not gonna repeat

Did you ever wake up in the middle of a dream
That didn't come true
You think you've gotta give up on on makin' that scene
And seeing it through, you feel like breaking
When you really just need to bend
You know i've been there and i don't want to go back again

Bridge:
There's so many moments i've left incomplete
Those are the moments that i'm not gonna repeat

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night
Did you ever wake up in the middle of the day
Did you ever wake up in the middle of a dream


10.Longer Letter Later

Dear annie i'm sorry it's been a long long time
There's so much on my mind
I want to call you i'm dropping you this line
Lieu of walls i can't climb
Thought i'd let you know since i let you go
I've come to rue the day
A silly card i guess but i must confess
There's so much more to say
Longer letter later

I blew it i know it and all i have to show
Is this heartache i feel
I may be crazy
But everything i know tells me try and appeal
Are you having fun have you found someone
To shed new light on you
Maybe pen and ink will make you stop and think
Of all that we've been thru
Longer letter later

If only you could see this brand new me
I know you'd change your plan
Here's the postscript now meant to show you how
I'm a different man
Longer letter later
Longer letter later


11.Blinded

I didn't mean to stumble and i didn't mean to fall
But it's hard to keep your balance when your running into walls
But there's an explanation baby for the situation i'm in

Chorus:
I am blinded by the light of your love
I don't know where i'm going or which way is up
I've never been lost and liked it so much
I am blinded by the light of your love

It's hard to see a miracle when standing up too close
It's difficult to focus when it's right beneath your nose
Till love makes its correction and determines the direction for
me

(i'll be) chorus:
I didn't mean to stumble and i didn't mean to fall
But it's hard to keep your balance when your running into walls
But there's an explanation baby for the situation i'm in

Chorus:

Chorus:


12.I Wish I Were A Train

Lyin' awake at night
Thinkin' about my life
Train rumblin' thru our town
Walls shake like they're coming down

You sleep like nothings wrong
You don't know tomorrow i'm gone
You don't hear the whistle's sad cry
You don't see the tears in my eyes

Chorus:
I wish i were a train rolling on a track
With three choices
Stop on a dime move ahead or go back
But i can't go back and face the pain
So i lie here and wish i were a train

Baby once we had it all
This ain't nobody's fault
Seems like everything changed
Love just up and moved away

Chorus:
On a train rolling on a track
With three choices
Stop on a dime move ahead or go back
But i can't go back and face the pain
So i lie here and wish i were a train

Repeat chorus:
