Buy these Mark Wills albums from CDNow Mark Wills Wish You Were Here Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house And Rachel was a land baron's daughter Born with a silver spoon in her mouth Her daddy said he wouldn't stand For Rachel to waste her life with a common man He tried hard to keep them apart But you can't draw the lines in a young girl's heart Chorus: So late one night by the harvest moon Jacob climbed ladder up to Rachel's room He knew his place, and it was right beside her Step by step up to her world Head over heels for a brown eyed girl And gettin' caught didn't seem to matter 'Cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder It'll be five years September Since her daddy found the ladder and a note on her windowsill He swore he'd never forgive them But nothin' will melt the heart like a grandchild will Now she climbs up on his knees Says, "Grandpa tell a story, the one about me" He thinks back and his eyes shine Says, "Listen child, once upon a time" Chorus: Late one night by the harvest moon Your daddy climbed a ladder to your mama's room He knew his place, and it was right beside her Step by step up to her world Head over heels for my little girl And here you are, that's all that matters 'Cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder Oh, an angel was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder Back to the top. Jacob's Ladder
I've never seen the sunset in Montigo Bay But my heart melts when you look at me that way And I've never seen the snow fall From a rocky mountain sky But I get a chill just by lookin' in your eyes Chorus: 'Cause you take me places (that) I've never been I travel the world in your arms and back again I have no need to wander or go chasing those four winds 'Cause you take me places me places I've never been I may never see the wonders of this earth I may never hold great treasures of great worth I could search the whole world over But I don't have to go that far I've got it all right here in my arms Repeat Chorus 'Cause you take me places I've never been Back to the top. Places I've Never Been
I'm a little boy with glasses, the one they call a geek A littl girl who never smiles cuz I got braces on my teeth And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep I'm that kid on every playground who is always chosen last A single teenage mother tryin to overcome her past You don't have to be my friend if it's too much to ask Chorus: Don't laugh at me, don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain In God's eyes we're all the same some day we'll all have perfect wings Don.t laugh at me I'm a cripple on the corner You pass me on the street I wouldn't be out here begging if I had enough to eat And don't think I dont notice that our eyes never meet I lost my wife and little boy someone crossed that yellow line The day we layed 'em in the ground was the day I lost my mind Right now I'm down to holdin' this little cardboard sign Chorus I'm fat, I'm thin I'm short, I'm tall I'm deaf, I'm blind Hey aren't we all Chorus Back to the top. Don't Laugh At Me
All I am, All I'll be Everything in the world, all I'll ever need Is in your eyes, shining at me When you smile I can feel all my passion unfolding Your hair brushes mine And a thousand sensations seduce me 'cause Chorus: I do, cherish you For the rest of my life You don't have to think twice I will, love you still, from the depths of my soul It's beyond my control I've waited so long to say this to you If you're asking do I love you this much, I do In my world before you I lived outside my emotions Didn't know where I was going Until that day I found you And you opened my eyes to a new paradise In a world torn by change With all of my heart, until my dieing day Repeat Chorus I've waited so long to say this to you So, if you're asking do I love you this much, I do Oh, I do Back to the top. I Do (Cherish You)
She don't like to stay out late She'd rather be at home Holding hands by the fireplace I wonder if he knows She likes moonlit walks on a seashore sand Pickin' up shells with her toes It's the silly things that make her laugh I wonder if he knows Chorus: I wander if he knows Just where her heart has been I wonder if it shows She won't let it get broken again It took along time to mend I wonder if he knows She believes in a wedding band And that the truth should be told She's gonna need a one-woman man I wonder if he knows She can't trust a man who tells a lie That's further than she will go She'll find the strength to say good bye Oh, I wonder if he knows Repeat Chorus Oh, I wander if he knows Back to the top. I Wonder If He Knows
Called her from a pay phone down on Beale Street On my way to Birmingham Said she was tired of never seein' me She needed more than a guitar man As the lonesome notes filled the midnight sky I wipe my tears and wish that I was Chorus: Anywhere but Memphis Any other place would have made a difference The way the blues poor out of the dives and bars Ain't no place for a broken heart She could've told me in Baton Rouge or Dallas anywhere but Memphis Wish she could have worked up her courage And let me down in Little Rock Or even as far back as Phoenix When I stopped to call from that truck stop And if telling me sooner was just too hard She could've waited later to break my heart Chorus Where the blues pour out of the dives and bars It ain't no place for a broken heart She could've told me in Baton Rouge or Dallas Anywhere but Memphis Back to the top. Anywhere But Memphis
If you need someone who will promise you blue skies If you think old-fashioned love's out of style You'be probably got the wrong guy But if you need someone to walk through fire for you Chorus: I'm just the man to do it Don't think I won't I mean what I say and I say what I feel I'll love you 'til my name is carved in stone Baby don't think I won't, 'cause I will Your heart's been left to hurt by lovers runnin' scared But whenever you reach out for me, I'm gonna be there And if you need someone to spend his life lovin' you Chorus I'll love you 'til my name is carved in stone Baby don't think I won't Baby don't think I won't, 'cause I will Back to the top. Don't Think I Won't
