Amy Grant Album

(Amy Grant, Keith Thomas)

You're the kind
When you love you love with all your might and
You're the kind
I would dream about at night
Now I'm the lucky one
Baby I'm the lucky one

You're the kind
That I want to be with in the dark and
You're the kind
Who is capturing my heart
And I'm the lucky one
Baby I'm the lucky one

And I have never been the one to fall in love so soon
But I could never face another night or day without you
Baby I'm the lucky one

You're the kind
With poetry and valentines and
You're the kind
Who will never ever leave
And I'm the lucky one
The luckiest girl
My, my, my baby
Baby I'm the lucky one

And I have never been the one to fall in love so soon
But I could never face another night or day without you, you-hoo
I'm the lucky one

Baby I'm the lucky one

I said
Doot-doo, doot-doo-n-doo-doo
Doot-doo, the lucky one
Doot-doo, doot-doo-n-doo-doo
Ah, my, my, my baby
Doot-doo, doot-doo-n-doo-doo
Doot-doo, the lucky one
Doot-doo, doot-doo-n-doo-doo
Baby I'm the lucky one

Doot-doo, doot-doo-n-doo-doo
Doot-doo, hey, I'm the lucky one
Doot-doo, doot-doo-n-doo-doo
Ah, my, my, my baby
Doot-doo, doot-doo-n-doo-doo
Doot-doo, the lucky one
Doot-doo, doot-doo-n-doo-doo
Hey I'm the lucky one

Doot-doo, doot-doo-n-doo-doo
Baby I'm the lucky one
Doot-doo, doot-doo-n-doo-doo
Doot-doo, the lucky one
Doot-doo, doot-doo-n-doo-doo
Hey I'm the lucky one

(Amy Grant, Keith Thomas, Wayne Kirkpatrick)

Chorus:
Do you wanna be in love forever
Do you wanna make my dream come true
Let me be the one to kiss and hold you
Say you'll be my baby
Can you see the two of us together
Living in love this whole life through
Do you wanna be in love forever
Say you'll be mine

I can remember
When my mind was clear and free
Now there's a feeling
Coming over me
The sweetest attraction
That my heart has ever seen
I'm going crazy making sense of anything

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

I really wonder
Is there magic in your smile
Taking me under
Got me acting like a child
Something about you
Hits me like avalance
I try to stand my ground
But I don't stand a chance

(Repeat Chorus)

Every time I close my eyes I deram about
Hugging you, holding you, kissing you boy
It's driving me crazy
But even if it takes forever
To win your heart and your love and your devotion
I know it's gonna be worth the wait

Ooh, say you'll be my baby
Ooh, be my baby
Ooh, oh darlin', say you'll be mine

(Repeat Chorus)

Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Do you wanna be in love
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Say you'll be my baby
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Do you wanna be in love
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Say you'll be mine

(Repeat Chorus)

(Amy Grant, Keith Thomas, Gary Chapman)

Face to face we embrace
We drink of love's sweetest wine
Whispered names fan the flames
Each touch is frozen in time
I can feel your heart
And the rhythm of it echoes through my soul
Well surely you know

Whatever it takes baby I'm gonna be there
Whatever it takes baby you've got to know
Whatever it takes to be true to you
Baby I'll do it somehow

Promises made to last
These are the hardest to find
Touch me now, let me know
Your love will always be mine
As the years go by
And the fire of my love surely grows
Baby you know

Whatever it takes baby I'm gonna be there
Whatever it takes baby you've got to know
Whatever it takes to be true to you
I'll love you to the end
Whatever it takes baby I'm gonna be there
Whatever it takes baby you've got to know
Whatever it takes to be true to you
Baby--somehow...

I wanna be true to you
I wanna be hugging you, kissing you
Love you all of my life

Whatever it takes baby
Whatever it takes baby
I'm gonna give all of my love, all of my life
Whatever it takes baby
Whatever it takes baby
I'm gonna give you all of my love til the end of time

(Whatever it takes baby)
Whatever it takes baby (whatever it takes baby)
(All of, all of, all of my life)
I wanna be hugging you, kissing you, yeah
(Whatever it takes baby)
(Whatever it takes baby)
Whatever it takes baby
(All of, all of, all of my life)
All of my life
(Whatever it takes baby)
(Whatever it takes baby)
(All of, all of, all of my life)
I wanna be hugging you, kissing you, yeah
(Whatever it takes baby)
(Whatever it takes baby)

(Wally Wilson, Kenny Greenberg, Greg Barnhill)

Chorus:
Well, I bet you any amount of money
He'll be coming back to you
Ooh, I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes life is funny
You think you're in your darkest hour
When the lights are coming on in the house of love

Ooh, house of love

You've been up all night
Thinking it was over
He's been out of sight
At least for the moment
But when something this strong
Ooh, Gets a hold on you
The odds are ninety-nine to one
It's got a hold on him too

(Repeat Chorus)

When the lights are coming on in the house of love

Now when the house is dark
And you're all alone inside
You've gotta listen to your heart
And put away your foolish pride
Though the storm is breaking
And thunder shakes the walls
Love with a firm foundation
Ain't never, never, never gonna fall

(Repeat Chorus)

Though the storm is breaking
And thunder shakes the walls
Love with a firm foundation
Ain't never, never, never gonna fall

Well, I bet you any amount of money
He'll come back to you
Ooh, I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes life is funny
You think you're in your darkest hour
When the lights are coming, lights are coming on

Well, I bet you any amount of money, baby
He'll be coming back to you
Back to you, back to you
Ooh, I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes life is funny
You think you're in your darkest hour
When the lights are coming on in the house of love
Oooh, yeah
Ooh, I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes life is funny
You think you're in your darkest hour
When the lights are coming on in the house of love

(Judson Spence, Tommy Sims)

A king is crying from his throne
He had a queen but now she's gone
What is this magic that we seek
The mighty strong turn mighty weak
Every good girl hears it
Every bad boy fears it
No matter what I see
I believe, I believe

Chorus:
The power touches me
The power helps us see
The power holds my hand
The power drives me crazy

A flower grows, an old man dies
And through it all we still survive
A poor man screams but no one hears
Ain't nothing changed much through the years
Every bad day needs it
Every good day breeds it
No matter how it feels
When it's real you know it's real
Stronger than any bomb that any man has ever made

(Repeat Chorus)

And it won't take long to understand
Just how amazed I am

Hey, hey
Open up your eyes and see
It won't take long to understand
Just how amazed I am

Every good day needs it
Every bad day needs it
No matter what I see
I believe, I believe
Stronger than any bomb any man has ever made

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

The power drives me crazy
If I believe and you believe
And we believe everything is gonna be all right
All right
It just might

(The power)
(The power)
(The power)
(The power)

(Simon Climie, Will Jennings)

In our times of trouble
We only had ourselves
Nobody else
No one there to save us
We had to save ourselves

And when the storms came through
They found me and you
Back to back together
And when the sun would shine
It was yours and mine
Yours and mine forever

Chorus:
And oh how the years go by
And oh how the love brings tears to my eyes
All through the changes the soul never dies
We fight, we laugh, we cry
As the years go by

There were times we stumbled
They thought they had us down
But we came around
How we rolled and rambled
We got lost and we got found
Now we're back on solid ground

We took everything
All our times would bring
In this world of dangers
'Cause when your heart is strong
You know you're not alone
In this world of strangers

(Repeat Chorus)

And if we lose our way
Any night or day
Well we'll always be
Where we should be
I'm there for you
And I know you're there for me

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

As the years go by

(Joni Mitchell)

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop

They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
And then they charged all the poeple twenty-five bucks just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
I say, they paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Oh, now, they paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Hey, steam rolled paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

(Tommy Sims, Amy Grant, Beverly Darnall)

Chorus:
Everybody needs a helping hand
Take a look at your fellow man
And tell me what can I do today
'Cause everybody needs a helping out
If that ain't what it's all about
Tell me what
What can I do
What can I do today

We've all seen trouble from time to time
There is a mountain ahead
I've got no strength to climb, hey
If you're feeling that you're strong
Reach out to me
I hope this journey won't take long
But won't you please
Have mercy

(Repeat Chorus)

What can I do today

I'm talking 'bout the soul all alone
Needing the daily bread
Someplace to lay his head, yeah, hey
And I'm talking about the neighbor on your street
Won't you look him in the eye
Take time to speak
That's mercy, yeah, 'cause...

(Repeat Chorus)

Love one another
Sister and brother
Love is the only way, hey

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

What can I do today
Everybody needs a helpin', helpin'
Everybody needs a helping hand
Everybody needs a helpin', helpin'
Everybody needs a helping hand

Everybody needs a helping hand
Everybody needs it, oh, everybody needs it
Everybody needs a helping hand
Oh, everybody needs it, oh, yeah, oh, everybody needs it
Oh, yeah, everybody needs a helping hand
Everybody needs it, oh, everybody needs it
Everybody needs a helping hand
Everybody needs it

(Cliff Magness, Amy Grant, Wayne Kirkpatrick)

She's looking back to see if he's looking at her
They talk without any words
And with a smile he's moving heaven and earth
She dreams of holding him tight
When will the moment be right
Got to be diplomatic, a step at a time
Don't want to blow it baby

Chorus:
That's the politics of kissing
To know when to show your hand
First thoughts then second guessing
A subtle supply and demand
Balance of power baby
To hold or not to hold
That's the politics of kissing
You're finding your way as you go, go, go
How do you know

Head over heels under the moon looking at you
But do you feel it too
And if I move in closer what will you do
Cause I'm thinking please hold me tight
Am I the light in your eyes
I wish you had the power for reading my mind
'Cause I'll never say it to you

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh-oo-oh-oo-oh, oh-oo-oh-oo-oh
Oh-oo-oh-oo-oh, oh-oo-oh-oo-oh
Oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh
Oh-oo-oh-oo-oh, oh-oo-oh-oo-oh
Oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh
Hear what I'm sayin' to ya

That's the politics of kissing
To know when to show your hand
First thoughts then second guessing
A subtle supply and demand
Balance of power baby
To hold or not to hold
That's the politics of kissing

That's the politics of kissing
To know when to show your hand
First thoughts then second guessing
A subtle supply and demand
Balance of power baby
To hold or not to hold
That's the politics of kissing

(Amy Grant, Keith Thomas)

I have found a perfect mystery
Love has a hold on me
Long before my life had come to be
Love had a hold on me
Love has a hold on me

Where do I come from
Where does life mean
Is it not to know the one who made me

As I'm looking down the road ahead
Love has a hold on me
Someday when I breathe my dying breath
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me

Where will I go
When this life is through
Back into the light that made me and you

Love has a hold on me
Something opened up my eyes to see
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me

I don't have answers to all the questions
Running inside of my mind
But I can't help believe that
Understanding comes in time

Love has a hold on me
Something opened up my eyes to see
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me

If I run, if I hide, I know inside
Your love has a hold on me
Tell me yes, tell me no, my heart will follow
Your love has a hold on me

If I run, if I hide
Your love has a hold on me
Your love has a hold on me
Your love has a hold on me
Hold on me

(Amy Grant, Tom Hemby)

I don't know what to say to you
Tears are on your face
You don't know how we'll make it through
Such a lonely place
But if you could read my mind
Then you'd understand
Even in times like these
I'm wanting nothing other than

Chorus:
Our love
You and me together
Our love
I'll stay with you
Our love
Our love our love is true

Oh won't you take me in your arms
That's where I belong
Together we are safe from harm
Together we are strong
I will hold your heart in mine
And guard it through the night
Let the stillness of this moment
Speak to us of all that's right with

(Repeat Chorus)

Our love
You and me forever
Our love
I'm made for you
Our love
Our love our love is true

Close your teary eyes and sleep
I'll watch through the night and keep

(Repeat Chorus)

Our love
Our love

(Tommy Sims, Amy Grant, Wayne Kirkpatrick)

Every life, every beating heart
Has a searching soul inside
Ever needing, ever seeking out
The meaning to life

I refuse to believe that we're only here to live and die
In the futile days of a faithless haze
Never asking why, why would I
When I've felt the hand of eternity
It's a legacy I will leave, I want to leave

For the children of the world
Every single little boy and girl
Heaven plants a special seed
And we must have faith for these

I will stand for the truth I've seen
So the truth is seen in me
I will give from the source of love
So all that I believe is handed down
For the road that's yet to be travelled on
By the ones who will carry on, I'll carry on

Chorus:
For the children of the world
Every single little boy and girl
Heaven plants a special seed
And we must have faith for these
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in the Father's eyes
Like the Father may we see
That they have a destiny
And give them the light of love to lead

Through the darkness around us now
To a place where hope is found

(Repeat Chorus Three Times)
For the children of the world
