Out Of My Heart

Vern Gosdin Out Of My Heart Lyrics
1.Out Of My Heart

The only thing, I know that's good*
About the days I'm livin' in
Is knowing I'm still learning
About what I don't understand
How two people that love each other
Have to live apart
It's enough to take the livin'
Out of my heart

When I get up in the mornin'
It's so hard to face my face
As it tells me from the mirror
I'd rather be at your place
It's hard to know we're still livin'
But we're livin' apart
It's enough to take the livin'
Out of my heart

Lovin' one way, livin' another
Who am I cheatin' on
The one I want to be with
Are the one I'm with at home
It's hard to hold the pieces
Of so many livin' parts
It's enough to take the livin'
Out of my heart

When I get up in the mornin'
It's so hard to face my face
As it tells me from the mirror
I'd rather be at your place
It's hard to know we're still livin'
But we're livin' apart
It's enough to take the livin'
Out of my heart

It's enough to take the livin'
Out of my heart


2.Month Of Sundays

There must be about 100 parties and I hit everyone in town*
Now the sun is coming up and this room is turning around
Outside the church bells ringing, I can't hardly stand the pain
This pounding in my head is nearly driving me insane.

It's gonna take a month of Sundays to get me over Saturday night
If I look half as bad as I feel, I must be a sight
Oh, I'd give everything I own for anything that'll make it right
It's gonna take a month of Sundays to get me over Saturday
night.

If I knew then what I know now, if I would have thought it over
again
I'd have stayed at home where I belong, I wouldn't be crawling
in
I wouldn't be laying here with that echo of that honky tonk
crowd
And listening to the sunrise, even that's a little to loud.

It's gonna take month of Sundays to get me over Saturday
night...


3.This Song Wrote Itself

I wasn't thinkin' about music*
But you were on my mind again
I just sat down to write how I miss you
And these words just rolled out of my pen

How I lay here and stared at the ceilin'
And picture you with somebody else
I just wrote down the way I was feelin'
And cried while this song wrote itself

I wouldn't write my feelings for a jukebox
And I didn't mean these words to be this song
I never meant for any one to hear it
But I'll sing it all for you if you'll come home

How I lay here and stared at the ceilin'
And picture you with somebody else
I just wrote down the way I was feelin'
And cried while this song wrote itself

I just wrote down the way I was feelin'
And cried while this song wrote itself


4.The Garden

She planted roses, the first year we married*
It soon was a garden we'd go walking through
My job kept me travlin', but when I came home to heaven
She was so proud to show me all the love that she grew

I heard her talking, one day to a old friend
She said I don't want to hurt him, but it's out of control
I feel so guilty 'cause he'll be so helpless
He won't understand why I just got to go

Now I come to the garden alone
All my reasons I once had for livin' are gone
Sometimes when I feel like I just can't go on
I come to the garden alone

No one can imagine just how much I miss her
I'd give up this whole world to once more hold her near
It's just beyond me why God took her from me
I'll bet the flowers in heaven are lookin' better this year

Now I come to the garden alone
Where the dew kissed the roses, the weeds now have grown
Sometimes when I feel like I just can't go on
I come to the garden alone

Oh, I come to the garden alone


5.I'd Better Write It Down

I stayed up all day*
Just to watch the sun go down
These days I never know
How much longer I'll be around

But when I go at least she'll know
I saw all she wanted me to see
If I can leave that on paper
I'll be so proud of me

Sometimes what we say is gone
As soon as it's said
But if your eyes can read feelings, I'm leavin'
Then I'll never be dead

Today I saw the open door
I know will surely set me free
If I can go through it with a smile
I'll be so proud of me

If I'm gonna leave somethin' behind
I'd better write it down
'Cause I know to capture all that I can
While I'm still around

'Cause I'd know the written word
Won't follow me into the ground
So if I'm gonna leave somethin' behind
I'd better write it down

If I'm gonna leave somethin' behind
I'd better write it down
