The Little Girl (feat. Dan Tyminski, Alison Krauss, Alison Krauss & Dan Tyminski) - John Michael Montgomery

The cruel war is raging, Johnny has to fight And I long to be with him from morning 'til night I long to be with him, it grieves my heart so Won't you let me come with you? No, my love no Tomorrow is sunday, monday is the day Your captain will call you and you must obey Your captain will call you, it grieves my heart so Won't you let me come with you? No, my love no No, no, my love no No, no, my love, no But I could tie back my hair, men's clothing I'll put on And I could march as your comrade as we go along I could pass as your comrade, no one will ever know Won't you let me come with you? No, my love no Now Johnny, oh Johnny, I feel that you are unkind You know I love you far better than all of mankind Yes, I love you far better than words could ever express Please won't you let me come with you? Yes, yes, my love, yes Oh yes, yes, yes So we marched into battle together side by side With hope in our hearts and love in our eyes And we marched onto victory to wear our bands of gold Did I ever love another? No, my love no No, no, my love no No, no, my love no No, no, my love no Will I ever love another? No, my love no.

They came from near, they came from far Following a distant star to where he'd lay Not being sure of what it meant But knowing it was heaven sent, they made their way And the creatures gathered round And didn't make a sound and the angels cried The angels knew what was to come The reason God had sent His Son from up above It filled their hearts with joy to see And knowing of His destiny, came tears of love And the creatures gathered round And didn't make a sound and the angels cried I've often thought about that night And wondered if they realized that star so bright Was sent to tell all the land The Son of God would soon become the Son of Man And the creatures gathered round And didn't make a sound and the angels cried And the angels cried And the angels cried

I stood on faith and the corner of ambition I came here to sink or swim And to show them all that they were wrong And though I never thought I'd make it this far So the curtains are down For the moment I'm someone There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way Now they're gone But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are And when I'm down and I'm growing old I won't be along no railroad track I won't be bound to a life out in the cold It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home When I'm down and I'm growing old I won't be along no railroad track I won't be bound to a life out in the cold It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home Can't go on, I'm on the top of my better years I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Where have you been My long lost friend It's good to see you again Come and sit for a while I've missed your smile Today the past is goodbye Time can't erase A lover's embrace Can't you hear it calling A new day dawning You were longing to find Love's taken you far Away from my heart And I've been here all along Have your eyes failed to find What took you from mine A vision that's faded through time But you sail away Far on a summer's day But you heard it calling A new day dawning You were longing to find There is a way To make you stay Darling don't turn away Don't doubt your heart And keep us apart I'm right where you are Stay There is a way To make you stay Darling don't turn away Don't doubt your heart And keep us apart I'm right where you are Stay

Yesterday the odds were stacked in favor of my expectations Lying above the rest, never falling from the nest Tuesday came and went and now I'm in a little situation Maybe it's for the best, I can live alone I guess Maybe I can stand alone Maybe I'm strong as stone Even though the bird has flown Maybe he'll fly on home Forgive me if I'm keeping you apart from better conversation I'm numb from all my doubt, trying to sort the whole thing out Tell me that I'm smart enough to deal with all the information Spinning inside my head, every word he ever said Maybe I can stand alone Maybe I'm strong as stone Even though the bird has flown Maybe he'll fly on home (Repeat chorus)

I guess I'm just a little bit scared I guess I'm not as strong as I thought When I see you lying there I worry about losing you I used to think of only me but that was long ago Now I find it hard to conceive life without you Baby I don't want to be the one to face this life All alone at the end of the day When the sun goes down I want you right here in my arms forever Every little smile, every move you make It's like a dagger to my heart, took my breath away Now all I ask is that you be mine forever, forever So think about what you're doing here If you're anything less than sincere tell me now And let yourself out the door No harm, no foul, kill me now, save me all the pain But if you feel the way I do stay, let me make love to you Baby I don't want to be the one to face this life All alone at the end of the day When the sun goes down I want you right here in my arms forever Every little smile, every move you make It's like a dagger to my heart, took my breath away All I ask is that you be mine forever, forever Forever Baby I don't want to be the one to face this life All alone at the end of the day When the sun goes down I want you right here in my arms forever Every little smile, every move you make It's like a dagger to my heart, took my breath away All I ask is that you be mine forever, forever Forever, forever, forever I guess I'm just a little bit scared I guess I'm not as strong as I thought When I see you lying there I worry about losing you

You say it's cold back there in Denver A foot of new snow on the ground You're all bundled up in blankets I'd give anything to be there with you now I'd cover you in kisses Hold you in my arms That's all that I can think of Every minute we're apart Darlin,' I've been livin' For the moment that we touch So I can cover you in kisses And wrap you in my love Baby, keep that fire burnin' Pour a glass of that sweet wine Let your hair down on your shoulders And I'll be there just in time To cover you in kisses Hold you in my arms That's all that I can think of Every minute we're apart Darlin', I've been livin' For the moment that we touch So I can cover you in kisses And wrap you in my love Darlin,' I've been livin' For the moment that we touch So I can cover you in kisses And wrap you in my love I wanna cover you in kisses And wrap you in my love

If you've got faith and you believe in what you're living for You can stand your ground when the devil's at your door And a little hope can help you when the road is getting rough But there's nothing quite like life, if you've got love If you've got love, you can move a mountain, little bit further down the line You can do it all at once or one rock at a time You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart Now there's nothing like a real good friend to tell your troubles to But there's just so much a real good friend can do 'Cause it takes another's touch to chase the darkest blues away If you've got love, you've got what it takes If you've got love, you can move a mountain a little bit further down the line You can do it all at once or one rock at a time You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart (If you've got love) You can move a mountain (If you've got love) Further down the line You can do it all at once or one rock at a time You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart (If you've got love) You can move a mountain further down the line (If you've got love) You can do it all at once or one rock at a time (If you've got love) You can turn a picture into a priceless work of art (If you've got love) It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart

Well I hoped and I prayed, I loved you from afar I cried, and I dreamed, wished on every star But nothin' I'd do got me closer to you So I locked all my feelings inside Then one night across a crowded room You looked my way, your eyes held something new You walked right up to me and smiled tenderly And your words came as such a surprise Well how was I to know You never let it show What a beauty like you might see In a poor boy like me How could I have seen You walk out of my dreams Shine your light on my sleepin' heart And into my soul How was I to know You took my hand and led me out the door We talked and we laughed 'Bout all the times before When two lonely people so much in love Passed like ships in the night Well how was I to know You never let it show What a beauty like you might see In a poor boy like me How could I have seen You walk out of my dreams Shine your light on my sleepin' heart And into my soul How was I to know How could I have seen You walk out of my dreams Shine your light on my sleepin' heart And into my soul How was I How was I to know Oooh Oooh Ooooooooh Oh Oh

Singer john michael montgomery cd leave a mark I wanna wake up each morning With you for the rest of my life I wanna feel your heart beating And just get lost in your eyes You can tell me your secrets You can let me feel your pain You can show me your weakness And never be ashamed Hold on to me when your world's turnin' cold When it feels like your life's spinnin' out of control You're hopin', prayin', tryin' so hard to believe Hold on to me when there's no middle ground And every emotion is comin' unwound And you don't know if you can hold on to your dreams Baby you can hold on to me I wanna lay down each evenin' With you right here by my side I wanna get drunk on your laughter And wipe all the tears when you cry You can scare me with your darkness You can blind me with your light Throw your worries out the window baby On your wildest night Hold on to me when your world's turnin' cold When it feels like your life's spinnin' out of control You're hopin', prayin', tryin' so hard to believe Hold on to me when there's no middle ground And every emotion is comin' unwound And you don't know if you can hold on to your dreams Baby you can hold on to me Hold on to me when there's no middle ground And every emotion is comin' unwound And you don't know if you can hold on to your dreams Baby you can hold on I said Baby you can hold on I said Baby you can hold on to me
