[ Deana Carter Lyrics ]

We Danced Anyway


The summer air was heavy and sweet
You and I on a crowded street
There was music everywhere. I can see us there

In a happy little foreign town
Where the stars hung upside down
A half a world away, far far away

I remember you were laughing
We were so in love, we were so in love

Chorus:
And the band played songs that we had never heard
But we danced anyway
We never understood the words
We just sang oh la la la la la la la la la la oh
And we danced anyway

They say you can't go back
Baby I don't believe that
Come along with me, come on and dance with me

Maybe if I hold you close
Baby we could just let go
Of these things that tie us down, we'll come back around

Do you remember we were laughing
We were so in love, so in love

Repeat Chorus

We danced anyway










[ Deana Carter Lyrics ]
Count Me In

Could there be a differant ending
To the same old story
'Cause you're not the first to say
You're gonna be there for me

I need to know what's in your heart
Can you finish what you start
How can I be sure I won't be sorry

Chorus:
If heartaches and tears and shadows of doubt
Are part of the deal, you can count me out
But if you're talking about a game I can win
You can count me in

When you tell me you're the one
I've always needed
You don't know how much I'm wanting to believe it

But I've heard it all before
Now I'm needing something more
A promise is no good if you can't keep it

Repeat Chorus

















[ Deana Carter Lyrics ]
How Do I Get There

We've always been the best of friends
No secrets and no demands
But suddenly from somewhere out of the blue
I see a differant light around you

One thing I haven't told you
I just want to hold you
And never let go
I need to know

Chorus
How do i get there from here
How do I make you see
How do I tell you what my heart's been tellin' me
Lost in your lovin' arms
That's where I wanna be
You know I love you
How do I get there

You probably think I've lost my mind.
Takin' this chance crossin' that line
But I promise to be truer than true
Dreamin' every night with these arms around you.

I can't wait any longer
This felling's gettin' stronger
Help me find a way

Repeat Chorus

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line
But I'll climb any mountains that you want me to climb
The perfect combination is your heart and mine
Darlin' won't you give me a sign.

Repeat Chorus

[ Deana Carter Lyrics ]
Strawberry Wine

We was working through college on my gradpa's farm
I was thirstin' for knowledge and he had a car
I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child
When one restless summer we found love growing wild
On the banks of the river on a well beaten path
Funny how those memories they last, like...

Chorus:
Strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
And green on the vine
Like strawberry wine

I still remember when thirty was old
My biggest fear when he had to go
A few cards and letters and one long distance call
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall
But year after year I come back to this place
Just to remember the taste, of....

Chorus

The fields have grown over now
Years since they've seen the plow
There's nothing time hasn't touched
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence
I've been missing so much

Chorus

[ Deana Carter Lyrics ]
Did I Shave My Legs For This?

Flowers and wine
Is what I thought I would find
When I came home from workin' tonight
Well now here I stand
Over this frying pan
And you want a cold one again

Chorus:
I bought these new heels
Did my nails
Had my hair done just right
I thought this new dress
Was a sure bet
For romance tonight
Well it's perfectly clear
Between the t.v. and beer
I won't get so much as a kiss
As I head for the door
I turn around to be sure
"Did I shave my legs for this?"

Now when we first met
You promised we'd get
A house on the hill with a pool
But this trailer stays wet
And we're swimming in debt
Now you want me to go back to school

Chorus

[ Deana Carter Lyrics ]
If This Is Love

Hold your racing horses just one minute
A funny feeling coming over me
I'm hearing violins and Tony Bennett
Boy if this is love then I'm in it

Chorus:
It was a triple digit summer
I thought I'd let you share my ice cream cone
We took a walk going nowhere
But I was already, already gone

The train of love is rolling and I'm on it
Destination end of the line
Every star I see I wish upon it
Boy if this is love well then I want it

Chorus

It wasn't bad as I thought it would be now was it
Simple as the dimple in your smile
I just can't resist kissin' and huggin'
Boy if this is love then i sure love it

Boy if this is love

Boy if this is love

Boy if this is love I sure love it

[ Deana Carter Lyrics ]
I've Loved Enough To Know


I hear what you're telling me but that don't make it so
Two timing, talkin' sweet from the time your feet hit the floor
My heart is telling me it's time to let you go
Oh baby, let go...

I've loved enough to know
A heartache when I see one coming
Been down this road before
I've loved enough to know

Every night out with the boys, you think I'm so naive
I know exactly where you're going every time you leave
I see every little something up your sleeve
Oh baby, I can see

I've loved enough to know
A heartache when I see one coming
Been down this road before
I've loved enough to know

I've loved enough to know
A heartache when I see one coming
Been down this road before
I've loved enough to know

I've loved enough to know
A heartache when I see one coming
Been down this road before
I've loved enough to know

A heartache when I see one
And I see one coming
A heartache when I see one
And I see one coming










[ Deana Carter Lyrics ]
Love Ain't Worth Making


Why did you have to forsake me
Couldn't you tell me goodbye
I've been waking up lately with tears in my eyes

Love ain't worth making, when it makes you the fool
A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
When she's holding you

You don't know how happy you made me
Couldn't you give it one more try
I know her arms are waiting to hold you tonight

Love ain't worth making, when it makes you the fool
A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
When she's holding you

So go on and pack up what's left
Of all that we shared
You're leaving me lonely tonight

Love ain't worth making, when it makes you the fool
A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
When she's holding you

A chance ain't worth taking
My heart is breaking
When she's holding you





 

[ Deana Carter Lyrics ]
Before We Ever Heard Goodbye

I remember that new pair of blue jeans
And man, your boots sure did shine
You had on my favorite cologne
I knew what was on your mind

You picked me up in that Mustang
You were right on time
Had the radio on, it was playing our song
We were leaving the world behind

I wanna remember that loving feeling
When we were young and our hopes were high
A heart was something you could believe in
Love was more than just a word
Before we ever heard goodbye

That summer night down at the levee
You gave me your ring on a chain
There would never be another for me
Tell me why does everything always have to change

I wanna remember that loving feeling
When we were young and our hopes were high
A heart was something you could believe in
Love was more than just a word
Before we ever heard goodbye

I wanna remember that loving feeling
When we were young and our hopes were high
A heart was something you could believe in
Love was more than just a word
Before we ever heard goodbye
Goodbye












[ Deana Carter Lyrics ]
That's How You Know It's Love


If you get out in the drivin' rain
Stand in the eye of the hurricane
And never think twice
If you turn your back on selfishness
And your thoughts are for someone else
'Cause they've changed your life

That's how you know it's love
That's how you know it's meant to be
When the span of forever
Just never seems long enough
That's how you know it's love

When your heart insists that you give it all
When you no longer fear the fall
And you just let go
When the past is finally dead and gone
Fate leads you somewhere to the one
That has your soul

That's how you know it's love
That's how you know it's meant to be
When the span of forever
Just never seems long enough
That's how you know it's love

No part of you questions
No part of you doubts
You're only sure this is what love's about
And nothing and no one
Can stand in your way
Or keep you from sayin' what your heart is dyin' to say

That's how you know it's love
That's how you know it's meant to be
When the span of forever
Just never seems long enough
That's how you know it's love

That's how you know it's love
That's how you know it's meant to be
That's how you know it's love
That's how you know it's love

To The Other Side


Everyday seems I turn another page
And it feels like the heartache fades a little more away
Look in the mirror and I like what I see
Hey you didn't take that much baby out of me
Something proud and somthing strong
Fills the absence of a memory that's dead and gone

I do believe I'm crossing over
I feel that weight come off my shoulder
I close my eyes
And drift closer to the other side
Lord I swear I'm crossing over
I found the strength to let you go and
The the thought of you is getting colder
And further from my mind
And I think I crossed that line
To the other side

Lately I find when I'm walking through town
I don't have to turn away
I don't have to look down
If I should see you with somebody new
Well I might get sentimental
But I'll lake it through
Something real and something right
Puts the shadow of doubt
In a different light

I do believe I'm crossing over
I feel that weight come off my shoulder
I close my eyes
And I drift closer to the other side
And Lord I swear I'm crossing over
I found the strength to let you go and
The thought of you is getting colder
And further from my mind
And I think I crossed that line
To the other side

Something real and something right
Puts the shadow of doubt
In a different light

I do believe I'm crossing over
I feel that weight come off my shoulder
I close my eyes
And I drift closer to the other side
And Lord I swear I'm crossing over
I found the strength to let you go and
The thought of you is getting colder
And further from my mind
And I think I crossed that line
To the other side

I do believe I'm crossing over
I feel that weight come off my shoulder
I close my eyes
And I drift closer to the other side
And Lord I swear I'm crossing over
I found the strength to let you go and
The thought of you is getting colder
And further from my mind
