I've been waiting here for you
I left the porch light burning for you
In the vase are flowers for you
The candles in the dining room were blown out at two
And the clock on the wall, it's a quarter to four
And I am still waiting for you to walk through the door

Woke up early this morning on my day to shine
Daddy drinking coffee, reading his paper, trying to pass the time
Mama in the kitchen, burning up the telephone lines
Oh, get the ceremony rolling, I'm ready for my wedding night

Daddy paid a fortune for my white wedding gown
Seems a little silly when it's only his tradition now
Back down deep in my suitcase I got a black silk gown
Oh, get the ceremony rolling, I'm ready for my wedding night

Oooo-oooo-oooh I want my wedding night
Here comes Daddy's little gearle down the aisle, she's all dressed in white
Oh no no, Mama, there's no need to cry
Just get the ceremony rolling, I'm ready for my wedding night

Don't look once gearle, don't think it twice
Cause after tonight, the guy will be all mine all mine all mine all mine
Hear them chapel bells a-ringing, hear them choir boys a-singing
Get me to the church on time
Oh, get the ceremony rolling, I'm ready for my wedding night

Oooo-oooo-oooh I want my wedding night
Oh, here comes Daddy's little gearle down the aisle, she's all dressed in white
Oh no, Mama, there's no need to cry
Just get the ceremony rolling, I'm ready for my wedding night

My wedding night
My wedding night
Ooh, my wedding night

Oh Gearle well here you go again
Today what world are you living in
Why does your world just tickle you pink
Or is it as blue as an ocean where all your little boats sink

While little Ms. Denial is sittin' in high cotton
All goes well as long as forgotten
Go wipe off your walls, then pick up your tin pans
Run to the sink, now wash off your hands

And up on your high horse
Well, is your ride just too short
The same little Gearle wouldn't jump off the front porch
So afraid we might see eye to eye
And I'll see that gleam were just tears that she cries

All the tears that she cries
That rain on parades
And trickle on down
Someone open the gate
'Til the streets all run dry
And the whole town is saved
While under the ground
Through the ocean with rage
Why who's making waves
I said not I
It was the gearle with the gleam in her eyes

While sleeping beauty gets her sleep tonight
She wakes up in the morning and everything is snow white
But only one thing in her garden will still grow
My, what could it be, sure smells like a rose

But she will soon snatch it there straight from its stem
And a thorn will then prick her just like a pin
And as the water then fills up her eyes
She is making up all those tears that she cries

All the tears that she cries
That rain on parades
And trickle on down
Someone open the gate
'Til the streets all run dry
And the whole town is saved
Why under the ground
To the ocean it raged
Why who's making waves
I said not I
It's the gearle with the gleam in her eyes
Who's making waves
I said not I
It's the gearle with the gleam in her eyes

Can't run, can't hide from something down deep inside
I feel it, even seen it
When I lay me down to sleep, I dream it
It wakes me up in the middle of the night
It ain't enough, so I turn on the light
Says gearle, where you gotta go
Is from your heart, said in my soul

Well, you don't get down
You take a look around
You know you might just try the next door down
Go on down, go on down
Go on down, go on down, go on down

I tried the front door and then a side door
Up an alley way, went in through a back door
And they were all there, and where is there?
A room of people all going somewhere
They said we're all going somewhere someday
Said gearle, you gotta find your own way
Said gearle, where you gotta go
Is from your heart, said my soul

Well, you don't get down
You take a look around
You know you might just try the next door down
Go on down, go on down
Go on down, go on down, go on down

Well, here I come, and there I go
I'm not the only one, oh yes I know
It's right timing, right place
Maybe even knowing someone who can show me all the way
Well, I gotta hand that one to ya
But I wouldn't get down on my knees if I knew ya
See, I got lots of time to buy
I use it up and I use it wisely

I know right from wrong
I know to wait as long
As you do what you are told
But from your heart, said my soul

No, you don't get down
You take a look around
You know you gotta sound
You keep your feet on the ground
You know you might just go try the next door down
Go on down, go on down
Go on down, go on down, go on down...

Where do you go
Why won't you say
Do you need to be alone
Well, I guess that's ok

Don't take your troubles
You leave some behind
I'll hold them for you
You know I don't mind

Well, what is yours is mine
And when we have a little time
We can sort it out
Why, there's a lot of little things
That we can do without
But I don't want you to ever think
That I could live without you

I think you worry too much
You're so afraid our love won't be enough
But that's you, silly silly you
Well, look at you, you always think you have to just be so tough
You even worry about the little stuff
Silly you

There's a lot of little things 
That we can do without
We're gonna sit down sometime
We're gonna sort 'em all out
But I don't want you to ever think
I could live without you

You know I love you more everyday
Oh now tell me how's it feel to be loved that way
Yeah, you, hey there, lucky you
Are you listening to me
Do you hear what I'm trying to say
I wouldn't have any other way

I don't need no diamond ring, I don't need much of anything
You're a good man, I'll wear your golden band
We've got a house with a porch and a swing
And I will be your simple gearle

I don't need no fancy car, I'm not going very far
That's OK, don't want to go anyway
I can stay home and be your star
I will be your simple gearle
I'll be your simple gearle

We don't need a lot, happy with what we got
If we had everything, it would not be the same
Turn out the kitchen light, let's sit outside tonight
I'll be your simple gearle

Now we've got a house full of them sweet little things
So much joy in the love they bring
Why the boys and the gearles, they are my world
But, honey you'll always be my everything
And I will be your simple gearle
Your sssssimple gearle
I'll be your simple gearle

I'm goin' back where I came from
Goin' lookin' for someone
Someone I left behind
We were both babies at the time

My family moved away
Wanted you to go but you had to stay
And out the back window
I waved goodbye
Your mother held you as you cried

We play
Hide and seek, finders keep
Only the loser is left to weep
Well I got a secret but can I keep it
I better cross my heart and hope to die

I'm gonna go be a big gearle now
I'm gonna go show them just how
I can make it all on my own
They'll say my gearle
Well, how you've grown

And I'll be married in the spring
No white dress, no diamond ring
With a baby on the way
Well, I know I heard one say
I guess she never learned a thing

She plays
Hide and seek , finders keep
Only the loser is left to weep
Well I got a secret but can I keep it
I better cross my heart and hope to die

Some said leave well enough alone
Why some things are better if never known
But I still remember the place
Just have no name for a empty space
And how I reap what I have sown
At least I get to keep what I have grown
I'll let the willow weep
For a secret it must keep
In a mission down in San Antone

We play hide and seek, finders keep
Only the loser is left to weep
Well I got a secret but can I keep it
I better cross my heart and hope to die

I talk to Annie at the Star Light Inn
She said you're down there last night up to no good again
And I cried my heart out
Why you wanna tear my heart right out

Monkey see and monkey do
Why misery loves company, so who was lovin' you
As I cried my heart out
Why you wanna tear my heart right out

Well, no more tears are cried for you
The only ones here are in my shampoo
Ohhh I cried my heart out
I cried my heart out
Yes I cried my heart
I cried my heart out

Now Mama said your love ain't even worth a dime
A lying face down in the dirt just buying time
I cried my heart out
As you tore my heart right out

A penny for your thoughts
Too much and out of reach
Ya put your money where your mouth is
And your talk comes cheap
I cried my heart out

Why you wanna tear my heart right out
I spilt milk at least a gallon out on the floor
It rolled around I splashed it around
I threw the empty jug right out the door
I cried my heart out

Yes, I cried my heart right out
No more lies, no no, please say no more
The more you say
I say I've heard it all before
I cried my heart
As you tore my heart right out

See, you had your chance
I've had it up to here
As you did your last dance
I cried my last tear
I cried my heart out
As you tore my heart right out

You ain't the first
You won't be the last
I'm gonna put it all behind me
And in my past

I cries my heart out
I cried my heart out
I cried my heart out
I cried my heart out

We packed up for the weekend
One change, t-shirts to sleep in
Anything you left behind
Exactly now what's on your mind
But anything you forgot really couldn't cost a lot
Everything now has its place
Even the tension on your face

All wound up now ready to go
We are winding down but it's coming slow
Sitting on the edge of our seats
Smooth pavement of the city streets
Disappear beneath the hood
And how about the weather, looks perty good
Perty good for an opening line
Why I didn't even have to use my mind

Prepared with dedication
Beware is our destination
We are free, we are wild
For we are our only child
Acting out from our hearts
Backing out not from the start
Seeking out the good old days
We are weekend runaways

Heading down the interstate
We're achieving the great escape
Of the same ol' me the same ol' you
Same ol' same ol' nothing new

Why shame on me, shame on you
Why shame on anything we may do
But we won't blame me
No, we won't blame you
We will blame it on the man in the moon

Prepared with dedication
Beware is our destination
We are free, we are wild
Why, we are our only child

Acting out from our hearts
Backing out not from the start
Just seeking out the good old days
We are weekend runaways

We laughed until we cried
We stayed up half the night
Told all there was to know
Leaving nowhere else to go

We said little all the way home
I guess we just need a little time alone
It's the art of women that can close her mind
The heart of of a women that finds the time

To put every thing right back in its place
Always leaving an open space
Just making room for a little bit more
When I get home, I gotta run to the store, yeah

Prepared with dedication
Beware was our destination
We were free, we were wild
We were our only child
Acting out from our hearts
Backing out not from the start
Just seeking out the good old days
We were weekend runaways

I live, I breath, like anyone I need
To tell someone who will say nothing when I'm done
And not give advice like it's a holiday
Repeating it twice for just something to say

Seems I said one word
One everybody heard
Oh my now she's mad
Now Stacey is being bad

I can hear but not speak for myself
But sure cry a tear for everybody else

Someone show me how
Come and show me how
To be strong enough, but not too tough
To say hold me now, come and hold me now
I feel a little tired today

I am my worst enemy
Please someone come save me

I live in a dream but it's busting at the seams
Don't want to wake up by myself
So I go shake me someone else
But I can't see them above the crowd
So I sit up and I scream out loud

Someone show me how
Come and show me how
To be strong enough, but not too tough
To say hold me now, come and hold me now
I feel a little tired
I feel a little tired
Today

Where would I be if it weren't for you
How could I grieve then hurt like I do
Oh where would it be if it were not here
Everything I need to live in fear

Oh would there be someone who's just waiting there
Who would then say it's because I care
This will hurt me more than you
Oh now look what you made me do

And why do you have to just push me so far
Besides who do you think you are
Go ahead but you'll never leave
Oh where would you be
If it weren't for me

No time to waste
I must save my strength
Keep my head on straight
Just long enough to think

Oh where would I be if it weren't for you
I guess I'd have nothing so how could I lose
So from you I'll take nothing, no nothing at all
With nothing to stop me, it's right down the hall

I'll reach for the knob then I'll walk through the door
And I will feel nothing for you anymore
And if you see someone that you never knew
That's where I'd be if it weren't for you

No time to waste
I must save my strength
Keep my head on straight
Just long enough to think
Roll out my plan
I never looked back I just ran

I walk all over this earth
Picking pieces of what she is worth
I've got a little bit to show for
Got what I need and maybe a little more

I wake up to catch the sunrise
I've fallen in love under a moonlit night
I've seen some of the worst storms roll in
Just pick up my pieces and I move on again

And I know exactly where I'm heading
This is just a little stop I made on the way
Even though I feel like I'm in heaven
I'll let nothing stand in my way
|
In my way, in my way
In my way, in my way

Now a hard day's work leaves a tired one
Leaves so little time for anyone or any fun
But I'm sure I'll be seeing you around
Don't get up I know the way out

I know exactly where I'm heading
This is just a little stop I made on the way
Even though I feel like I'm in heaven
I'll let nothing stand in my way

In my way, in my way
In my way, in my way

I've got nothing standing
I've got nothing standing
There is nothing standing
There is nothing standing
I see nothing standing
I see nothing standing
I have nothing standing

In my way, in my way
In my way, in my way
In my way, in my way

I woke up early this morning, I asked myself why
It's four in the morning, so closing my eyes
I rolled over on my other side
Ten o'clock came fast
Heard a noise down the hall
Sounds just like broken glass
And for no reason at all
A picture had fallen from the wall
Oh, it's just another day

Guess I'll spend it in the garden
Why, I can make this day mine
And later at the market
Where I know I can find
A place to spend more than just time
Everyone is in a hurry
They're grabbing only what they need
Their faces poured with worry
Please sir, go ahead of me
I really have no place I need to be
No, it's just another day

Three o'clock came slow
I heard a knock at the door
So I opened it real slow
He said say no more
I must not be who you're hoping for
Why, could it be you're expecting company
Ma'am if I may
Have you sign right here please
And as he walked away
He said, Oh have a lovely day
Yes have a lovely day

Six o'clock rolled around
I hear the traffic building up
It's all around the town
Driving like there is no giving up
Arriving home to the ones they love
Table set, please sit down everyone
Won't come to bed until the dishes are done
And turning out lights all but one
I like to read some
Won't fall to sleep until my day is done
It was just another day

But I've enjoyed it anyway
Just another day
I'll always find a way
Why I can sleep in tomorrow
