Sparks Begin to Fly - Colby Acuff

It's been two years, I keep calling I'm standing here and I ain't got you As we lay here, lovers in arms I can feel your fear, can this love be true? Come on lift me up, love, I keep falling I'm losing faith 'cause you keep stalling Lift me up, love, I keep falling I'm losing faith 'cause you keep stalling She said, "Baby, keep me closely, love it when you hold me" Know that I'm a real one, I don't do no ghostin' I know that you love me, you don't gotta show me Off to the world, please, hide me from the police Everywhere you go, we together, inseparable You know I'm down for whatever, protective of you I don't wanna use protection with you But the glove'll keep you safe if you ever get loose Never put you in a jam, hold whatever for you When you first shot your shot, I knew you would be the one to hit the spot Only you can make it clap for the homies, I am not On the late nights, me and you, circling the block Tryna make it pop Put that pussy nigga 'cross the street from Cherry Park Hope we don't get caught Don't you break my heart Love how you illuminate my thoughts It's been two years, I keep calling I'm standing here and I ain't got you As we lay here, lovers in arms I can feel your fear, can this love be true? Come on lift me up, love, I keep falling I'm losing faith 'cause you keep stalling Lift me up, love, I keep falling I'm losing faith 'cause you keep stalling Damn, can't believe they took you from me Kickin' in your front door, lookin' for me Hid me in our secret place Nothing I could do for you but sit and wait Contemplate Did we leave a trail? Did we make mistakes? Can't drop on your bail, can't check on your case Know that you won't tell, that's why I'm afraid You'll probably never get to see the light of day I'm ashamed to say I think I hate you now We should've took 'em on a chase 'cause I can't save you now At least give me a chance to try to lay 'em down Is you trippin'? You forgettin' that we made these vows? Still here I am, waiting 'round Dreamin' that you comin' home, right your wrongs, take me out I can't wait until you bust it down Probably go a hunnid rounds I keep calling I keep calling (oh, ooh) I keep calling I keep calling I keep calling (oh, ooh) I keep calling We'll be back together and we can have a little fun But he's in jail right now For something that he had no business in doin' "What did he do?" They said he killed somebody

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm And I'm a house of cards You're the kind of reckless that should send me running But I kinda know that I won't get far And you stood there in front of me just close enough to touch Close enough to hope you couldn't see what I was thinking of Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain 'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around 'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile My mind forgets to remind me you're a bad idea You touch me once and it's really something You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be I'm on my guard for the rest of the world But with you, I know it's no good And I could wait patiently, but I really wish you would Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain 'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around 'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile I run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild Just keep on keeping your eyes on me It's just wrong enough to make it feel right And lead me up the staircase, won't you whisper soft and slow I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain 'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around 'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile And the sparks fly Oh, baby, smile And the sparks fly

What a beautiful thought I am thinking Concerning a great speckled bird Remember her name is recorded On the pages of God's Holy Word With all the other birds are flocking 'round her She is despised by the squad A great speckled bird in the Bible Well, everything is a great church of God Desiring to lower her standard They watch every move that she makes They long to find fault with her teachings But really they find no mistake I am glad I have learned of her meekness I am proud that my name is on her book For I want to be one never fearing The face of my Savior to look When He cometh descending from Heaven On the cloud that He writes in His Word I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him On the wings of that great speckled bird

From the great Atlantic ocean To the wide Pacific shore From the queen of flowin' mountain To the southbelt by the shore She's mighty tall and handsome And known quite well by all She's the combination On the Wabash Cannonball She came down from Birmingham One cold December day As she rolled into the station You could hear all the people say There's a girl from Tennessee She's long and she's tall She came down from Birmingham On the Wabash Cannonball Our eastern states are dandies So the people always say From New York to St. Louis And Chicago by the way From the hills of Minnesota Where the rippling waters fall No changes can be taken On that Wabash Cannonball Listen to the jingle The rumble and the roar As she glides along the woodland Through the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine Hear that lonesome hobo squall You're travlin' through the jungles On the Wabash Cannonball

There's a place near to me, where I'm longing to be With my friends at the old country church There with mother we went and our Sundays we spent With our friends at the old country church Precious years of memories Oh, what joy they bring to me How I long once more to be With my friends at the old country church How I wish that today all the people would pray Like we prayed in that old country church If they'd only confess, Jesus surely would bless As He did in that old country church Precious years of memories Oh, what joy they bring to me How I long once more to be With my friends at the old country church

I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz When an old friend, I happened to see I introduced him to my loved one and while they were dancing My friend stole my sweetheart from me I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz Only you know how much I have lost Yes, I lost my little darling the night they were playing That beautiful Tennessee Waltz I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz When an old friend, I happened to see I introduced him to my loved one and while they were dancing My friend stole my sweetheart from me I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz Only you know how much I have lost Yes, I lost my little darling the night they were playing That beautiful Tennessee Waltz

Pack a bag of my regrets Take a big ol' breath, and I head into that sunset It's the only way I know to let go of all my hurries and my worries And the way that my head gets So I take off and ride To the western white pines So, how they almost touch the sky I hit that rocky mountain line My weary soul unwinds Only home is on my mind Cross that divide I get a feeling deep inside Over time, I've come to find The heart of me resides in them western white pines Everything that I can't take just fades away in this beautiful landscape It's painted on my mind, I am singing in the leaves Gentle whispers in the trees and I'm right there When I close my eyes In the western white pines So, how they almost touch the sky I hit that rocky mountain line My weary soul unwinds Only home is on my mind Cross that divide I get a feeling deep inside Over time, I've come to find The heart of me resides in them western white pines Some are into sandy beaches and easy ocean breezes Well, I can't really blame them But brother, all I need is Western white pines How they almost touch the sky I hit that rocky mountain line My weary soul unwinds Only home is on my mind Cross the divide I get a feeling deep inside Over time, I've come to find The heart of me resides in them western white pines Over time, I've come to find The heart of me resides in them western white pines
