(Jim Lauderdale/John Scott Sherrill)
Let's take a rest
Your kisses take my breath
You are the best
It's never been like this
He used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
Tell you he'll never leave
He used to say that to me
It thrills you so
When he whispers soft and low
Please hold me tight
I need your love tonight
He used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
Tell you he'll never leave
He used to say that to me
I'm yours, he sighs
And he means it at the time
But someday, he'll go
If you're wonderin' how I know
He used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
Tell you he'll never leave
He used to say that to me
He used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
Tell you he'll never leave
He used to say that
He used to say that
He used to say that to me
Over and overBefore I knew that I was blessed
When I was just like the rest of the people
Who never let dreams in their minds
Music would play and say
Maybe you're wastin' your time
Before I knew what good could be
When I couldn't see the need or the reason
For trusting in me or my star
Music would play and say
Hey, what a dummy you are!
And when I heard all the words about passion
Singin' to me about love of a fashion
that I never heard anywhere else
that's when I said,
“gotta get some of that for myself�
and when I heard about hurtin' and healin'
beautiful words about beautiful feelings
what lots of believin' could do
beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true
you're beautiful, beautiful music!
Before I saw my life in lights
When I couldn't taste the nights I was missin'
I'd listen alone in my bed
And music would sing to me
things no one else even said
And when I heard all the words about passion
Singin' to me about love of fashion
that I never heard anywhere else
that's when I said,
“gotta get some of that for myself�
and when I heard about hurtin' and healin'
beautiful words about beautiful feelings
what lots of believin' could do
beautiful music, I knew it just had to be true
you're beautiful, beautiful music!
And now I laugh and now I cry like a baby
Livin' and lovin' each day
And just maybe,
For all the good things that come true
Beautiful music
The best of my blessings is you
You're beautiful, beautiful music!
