*** LEE ANN WOMACK LYRICS ***
ALBUM: I Hope You Dance
"The Healing Kind"
Starin’ out the window at the sinkin’ sun
Another painful day is done
If I could convince myself I was over you now
I’d find a way to go on somehow
But the pain just grows stronger every day
I think of you and I’m on my way
Down memory lane with your hand in mine
Guess I’m just not the healing kind
Another December and the cold winds blow
And nights without you are so long
I stare at our picture through the firelight’s glow
And where you are right now I just don’t know
And the pain just grows stronger every day
I think of you and I’m on my way
Down memory lane with your hand in mine
Guess I’m just not the healing kind
Guess I’m just not the healing kind
"I Hope You Dance" (Special Guest Appearance Sons Of The Desert)
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith the fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)
"After I Fall"
On the edge looking over
All I see is a four-leaf clover
May be a sign of things to come
Should I jump or should I run
After I fall where do I stand
After my heart is in your hands
And you’ve got it all
After I fall where do I stand
After I’ve loved you all I can
Will I still stand tall
After I fall
It’s as clear as a blue sky
I don’t fear you telling me a lie
So I’ll become your only dancer
And let the sunrise bring the answer
After I fall where do I stand
After my heart is in your hands
And you’ve got it all
After I fall where do I stand
After I’ve loved you all I can
Will I still stand tall
After I fall
You’re a move I want to make
You’re a chance I’m going to take
You’re every dream rolled up in one
After I fall where do I stand
After I’ve loved you all I can
Will I still stand tall
After I fall
After I fall
After I fall
"Stronger Than I Am"
Things around here haven’t changed much
It’s all pretty much the same stuff day after day
The only thing that keeps me going’
Seems to be our baby girl I’m trying to raise
She’s my life my morning angel
Always seems to find the rainbow after the rain
Lately she’s been so busy growin’
I don’t even thinks she knows you’ve gone away
She finally learned to say goodbye
She’s sleepin’ through the night
She don’t wake up cryin’
And she’s walkin’ on her own
She don’t need no one holdin’ to her hand
And I hate to admit she’s stronger than I am
She ain’t crackin’ under pressure
First one step and then another she goes along
And if she falls and skins her knee
She cries awhile and then smiles at me and just goes on
So many things that she can teach me
Full of life and so completely innocent
She still says she loves her daddy
Goes on just like nothin’ happened
Forgives and forgets
She finally learned to say goodbye
She’s sleepin’ through the night
She don’t wake up cryin’
And she’s walkin’ on her own
She don’t need no one holdin’ to her hand
And I hate to admit she’s stronger than I am
She’s just like her old man
Stronger than I am
"I Know Why The River Runs"
When I reach to hold you I’ll still be alone
When I hear the ringing of the telephone
I’ll think it is you
It will not be true
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin’
When there aren’t any words to say
I could play the message that you left for me
I can hear your voice and I could still believe
That you will soon be home
But you will never come
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin’
When there aren’t any words to say
There’s a silence that I don’t want to hear
There’s a hole now where my heart used to be
They say that healing comes in time
But I don’t know what that means
I lie hear for so long
But you will never come
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin’
When there aren’t any words to say
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin’
When there aren’t any words to say
I know why the river runs
"Why They Call It Falling"
It’s like jumping, it’s like leaping
It’s like walking on the ceiling
It’s like floating, it’s like flying through the air
It’s like soaring, it’s like gliding
It’s a rocket ship you’re riding
It’s a feeling that can take you anywhere
So why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
I don’t know
There was passion, there was laughter
The first morning after
I just couldn’t get my feet to touch the ground
Everytime we were together
We talked about forever
I was certain it was Heaven
We had found
So why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
I don’t know
But you can’t live your life
Walking in the clouds
Sooner or later
You have to come down
It’s like a knife through the heart
When it all comes apart
It’s like someone takes a pin to your balloon
It’s a hole, it’s a cave
It’s kinda like a grave
When he tells you that he’s found somebody new
So why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
Now I know
Why they call it falling
Why they call it falling
Now I know
"Ashes By Now"
This morning is Monday, where are you now
Teasing my memory, teaching me how to lay low
When I don’t want to
Your love is elusive, this I know now
It’s makin’ me crazy, leaving me out in the open
When I don’t want to
Baby, I can’t go through this again
I don’t need to go down, more than I’ve already been
Just like a wildfire, you’re running all over town
As much as you burn me baby
I should be ashes by now
The moments of pleasure just never do last
They’re gone like a suitcase full of your past
Long gone and in a hurry
Baby, I can’t go through this again
I don’t need to go down, more than I’ve already been
Just like a wildfire, you’re running all over town
As much as you burn me baby
I should be ashes by now
You’re running all over town
As much as you burn me baby
I should be ashes by now
Just like a wildfire, you’re running all over town
As much as you burn me baby
I should be ashes by now
As much as you burn me baby
I should be ashes by now
Ohhh ashes by now
Ohhh ashes by now
As much as you burn me baby
I should be ashes by now
"Thinkin’ With My Heart Again"
I only needed coffee
Aisle four is where he caught me off guard
Seemed like a lifetime
Between his goodbye
And by the way how have you been
He talked about the weather
I thought of nights I held him so close
There I go
Thinkin’ with my heart again
His smile brought back the best times
Sweet memories of nights together
Stirring up those old feelings
That got me thinkin’ bout forever
With him
He said I best be going
There’s someone waitin’ for me outside and I died
Oh there he goes
And here I go
Thinkin’ with my heart again
His smile brought back the best times
Sweet memories of nights together
Stirring up those old feelings
That got me thinkin’ 'bout forever
With him
I only needed coffee
Aisle four is where he caught me
Thinkin’ with my heart again
"I Feel Like I’m Forgetting Something"
Grabbed my keys
The door is locked
I turned off the coffee pot
Running late as I back out of the drive
I feel like I’m forgetting something
Feeling good, great big smile
First time in a long, long while
You ain’t been the first thing on my mind
Yeah, I feel like I’m forgetting something
Maybe my heart is finally healing
Could it be I’m a getting over you
Baby I’m better now at dealing
With living life without your loving
Your memory’s down to nearly nothing
Yeah I feel like I’m forgetting something
There’s a guy at work, he's cute for sure
I’ve never noticed him before
Something’s had me so preoccupied
But I feel like I’m forgetting something
Maybe my heart is finally healing
Could it be I’m a getting over you
Baby, I’m better now at dealing
With living life without your loving
Your memory’s down to nearly nothing
I feel like I’m forgetting something
I'm living life without your loving
Your memory’s down to nearly nothing
I feel like I’m forgetting something
"Lonely Too"
How can you ask me
How have I been
I think you should know well
The shape that I’m in
You tell me you wondered
If I was okay
Well that’s a damn fool thing to say
The water is rising
The water is wide
And you’re always standing
On the other side
And then comes the moment
I wake in the dawn
With hours to lie here alone
And you seem so surprised
That I’m feeling this way
How am I so lonely today
If you ever loved me the way I loved you
You would be lonely too
So here’s to the lovers
For old times sake
Who don’t hold each other
To the promise they break
And smile through the window
And wave on the street
‘Cause that’s all you want now from me
Should I say something
To put you at ease
Or should I get down on my knees
If you ever loved me the way I loved you
You would be lonely too
If you ever loved me the way I loved you
You would be lonely too
"Does My Ring Burn Your Finger"
When I gave you my heart
It was not what you wanted
Now the walls say your name
And the pictures are haunted
Does my ring burn your finger
Did my love weigh you down
Was a promise to much
To keep around
I remember your words
And I can’t keep from crying
I could never believe
That your kisses were lying
Was there something from the past
Buried in a shallow grave
Did you thing that it was too far gone to save
Please tell me baby
Please tell me now
You say that I should just go on
Now please tell me how
Now it’s just me and the night
And I’m so broken hearted
I just wait in the dark here
For my dearly departed
Did my ring burn your finger
Did my love weigh you down
Was a promise to much
To keep around
"Lord I Hope This Day Is Good"
Lord I hope this day is good
I’m feelin’ empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful Lord I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good
Lord have you forgotten me
I’ve been prayin’ to you faithfully
I should be thankful Lord you know I am
But Lord I hope you understand
I don’t need fortune and I don’t need fame
Send down the thunder Lord, send down the rain
But when you’re planning just how it will be
Plan a good day for me
Lord I hope this day is good
I’m feelin’ empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful Lord I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good
You’ve been the King since the dawn of time
All that I’m askin’ is a little less crime
It might be hard for the devil to do
But it would be easy for you
Lord I hope this day is good
I’m feelin’ empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful Lord I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good
