Lyrics to my top ten country songs
#10
"Half The Way" by Crystal Gayle
written by Bobby Ray Wood and Ralph Murphy
album: "Miss The Mississippi"
Half of your love is just not what I'm after
Part of your world is just not what I need
Some of your time is like one glass of water
Just leaves me thirsty for a while
chorus:
So fill me up to the top
Oh, don't you stop till I'm overflowin'
Love is the seed
And babe, I need
You to keep it growin' stronger everyday
Oh no
Don't take me half the way
Don't take me half the way
Never before have I settled for second
All of my life I have hungered for more
Now I can see where your sweet love can lead me
This is what I've waited for
(repeat chorus)
Half of your love is just not what I'm after
Part of your world is just not what I need
Now I can see where your sweet love can lead me
This is what I've waited for
(repeat chorus)
Give me all your love
Don't take me half the way
Don't take me half the way
Give me all your love
Don't take me half the way
Don't take me half the way
Don't take me half the way

"Crazy" by Patsy Cline
written by Willie Nelson
album: "Greatest Hits"
Crazy
I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I knew
You'd love me as long as your wanted
And then someday
You'd leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wonderin'
What in the world did I do?
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for lovin' you
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
#8
"I Swear" by John Michael Montgomery
written by Gary Barker and Frank Meyers
album: "Kickin' It Up"
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighin' on your mind
But you can be sure I know my heart
Cause I'll
Stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
chorus:
I swear
By the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear
By the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Til death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear
I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the wall
And when
There's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care
Cause as time turns the page
My love won't age at all
(repeat chorus)
#7
"You And Only You" by John Berry
written by Chuck Jones and J.D. Martin
album: "John Berry"
It sure is good to see you girl
You're still the only one
You're looking just as lovely
As the day our love was born
Remember when you told me
I could make it on my own
Without you here to hold me
I'm afraid I'm not that strong
Happy ever after's not so easy to acquire
Only you could ever measure up to my desire
Baby, you gave up on me just a little bit too soon
And left me here for lonely howling at the moon
chorus:
All I need is one more chance
To prove my love for you
I tried my best to live without you
You hold the power in your hands
You and only you
Can make these broken dreams come true
I'm asking your forgiveness
I know I'm the one to blame
I've finally learned my lesson
Love is more than just a game
And please don't try to tell me
A little time is all I need
Cause time he ain't no friend of mine
Til he brings you back to me
(repeat chorus)
Only you
Can make these broken dreams come true
#6
"Past The Point Of Rescue" by Hal Ketchum
written by Mick Hanly
album: "Past The Point Of Rescue"
Last night I dreamed you were back again
Larger than life again
Holding me tight again
Placing those same kisses on my brow
Sweeter than ever now
Lord I remember how
Couldn't get enough of kissing
do you know how much you're missing
No you don't
But I do
The days like a slow train trickly by
And even the words that I write refuse to fly
All I can hear is your song haunting me
Can't get the melody
Out of my head you see
Distractions I've been using
Do you know how much you're losing
No you don't
But I do
chorus:
But I do
And I wonder if I'm past the point rescue
Is no word from you at all
The best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you
Do you know how much I love you
No you don't
But I do
I swore I'd never fall like this again
Fools like me never win
Came to my knees again
Can't close the door on the likelihood
Things might be just as good
I always believed they would
Gotta let your love invite me
Baby, do you think it might be
No you don't
But I do
(repeat chorus twice)
I know you don't
But I do
I know you don't
But I do
#5
"One Of These Days" by Tim McGraw
written by Marcus Hummon/Monty Powell/Jack Raines Jr.
album: "Everywhere"
Used to chase that boy home from school
We called him freckled-faced red-headed fool
He was different
He wasn't cool like me
Sticks and stones didn't break any bones
Bet we never left well enough alone
And one day he ran from home, you see
And I passed him as he walked away
And in his eyes I heard him say
"One of these days you're gonna love me
You'll sit down by yourself and think
About the times you pushed and shoved me
And what good friends we might have been
And then you're gonna sigh a little
Maybe even cry a little
One of these days
You're gonna love me"
Patty Sue was small town beauty
I took one look at her and had to pull her to me
Lord knows she should've seen right through me
When I promised her the world
But at 17, you only want one thing
I left her standin' with my high school ring
Innocent tears in the pourin' rain
As I walked away
And I still see her in my dreams
And to this day she's whispering
One of these days you're gonna love me
You'll sit down by yourself and think
About the time you turned from me
And what good friends we might have been
And then you're gonna sigh a little
Maybe even cry a little
One of these days
You're gonna love me"
Now everybody stands up
The congregation sings
It's a song of sweet forgiveness
And as the chorus rings
The wind blows clear my memory
The pages start to turn
Then suddenly I'm singin'
The moment that I learn
"One of these days I'm gonna love me
And feel the joy of sweet release
One of these days I'll rise above me
And at last I'll find some peace
Then I'm gonna smile a little
Maybe even laugh a little but
One of these days
I'm gonna love me"
#4
"Down On My Knees" by Trisha Yearwood
written by Beth Nielsen Chapman
album: "Hearts In Armor"
Sometimes you wonder
How much I care
I get so distracted running nowhere
And I take for granted
Our love is secure
But if I started losing you
One thing is sure
chorus:
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Making you stay
I'ld be beggin' you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees
I learned to be strong
A long time ago
And I can face any wind no matter how hard it blows
But I'd have to be stronger than I want to be
If I had to live without you loving me
(repeat chorus)
No one matters more in my life
Makes me feel like you make me feel inside
I've come far enough to know love's
Worth never letting go of
And love is not a matter of pride
(repeat chorus)
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray
Darlin' down on my knees
Whatever it takes
I'd beggin' and pleadin' baby
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees
#3
"Safe In The Arms Of Love" by Martina McBride
written by Pam Rose/Mary Ann Kennedy/Pat Bunch
album: "Wild Angels
My heart's not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of livin' solitaire
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high-wire act I know
Someday I'll find a net below
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
chorus:
I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
I want a heart to be forever mine
Want eyes to see me satisfied
Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
(repeat chorus)
Safe in the arms of love
#2
"When You Say Nothing At All" by Alison Krauss and Union Station
written by Don Schlitz and Paul Overstreet
album: "Now That I've Found You: A Collection"
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word
You can light up the dark
Try as I may I would never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
chorus:
The smile on your face
Let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand
Says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best
When you say nothing at all
All alone I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said
Between your heart and mine
(repeat chorus twice)
#1
"Living In A Moment" by Ty Herndon
written by Pat Bunch and Doug Johnson
album: "Living In A Moment"
Well the world just lost two lonely people
The world just lost two broken hearts
The odds were against it
But baby here we are
In our own little place
In our own little corner
This old cold world
Just got a little warmer
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna hold you in my arms
chorus:
And when they carve my stone
All they'll need to write on it
Is once lived a man who got all he ever wanted
Tell me something
Who could ask more more
Than to be living in a moment
You would die for
If I never get rich
On what money can buy
It don't matter to me
And I'll tell you why
I've got it all
When I'm holding you this way
I'll live to love you
I'd die to keep you
Safe inside these arms that need you
I'll be loving you
With the very last breath I take
(repeat chorus)
Ashes to ashes
Dust into dust
I'll lay beside you
Forever in love
And when they carve my stone
All they'll need to write on it
Is once lived a man who got all he ever wanted
Tell me something
Who could ask for more
Then to be living in a moment
Loving every minute
Tell me something
Who could ask for more
Than to be living in a moment
You would die for
Oh baby...
Living in a moment
I would die for
