"One Sweet Love" lyrics
"One Sweet Love"
Just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of my mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
A nameless face to think I see
And sit and watch the waves with me 'til they're gone
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is made out of my own devices
Could I be wrong?
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Sleepless nights, you creep inside of me
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
You take my reason not to care
No ordinary wings I'll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that I can do
I'd open up the moon for you
Just come down soon
The time that I've taken (Time I have taken)
I pray is not wasted (Pray is not wasted)
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting (Ready and waiting)
For a heart worth the breaking (Heart worth the breaking)
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of one sweet love
Savor the sorrow to soften the pain
Sip on the southern rain
As I do, I don't look, don't touch, don't do anything
But hope that there is a you
The earth that is the space between
I'd banish it from under me, to get to you
Your unexpected love provides my solitary's suicide, oh
I wish I knew
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting (Ready and waiting)
For a heart worth the breaking (Heart worth the breaking)
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of one sweet love
One sweet love

ZZ Ward - "Last Love Song" We were never the marrying type, oh no
We won't buy dishes or stained glass lights, oh no
For a table we'll never sit at
In the house that we won't ever get
I won't wake up and pick out your tie, oh...
Matt Wertz - "Somebody's Gonna Love You" Everybody is digging for gold
Looking for shine in somebody's eyes
I thought I saw a shimmer in yours
So I pulled you in close, held on tight
Sometimes you want someone so bad
You tell yourself lies...
Mozella - "Love Is Something" Sometimes I can't let go
Sometimes I move too slow
I swear it's not a show
I don't know if I'm tired or crazy
Or If my blood sugar is dangerously low
Sometimes I talk too loud
But you got to hear me...
Sixpence None The Richer - "Give It Back" I knew a song that played in me
It seems I've lost the melody
So please, Lord, give it back to me
Yeah, please, Lord, give it back to me
Years in the desert with no drink
Strike the rock, make it...
Ben Rector - "After All" So arise when the sun comes around.
The good Lord has blessed me well today to put my plow on the ground.
And today, when the sun retires.
And then I'll see your face, lit now by candle lights.
But...
