Nothing Good About Lonely lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I'm starin' out the window,
At a bright an' sunny day.
And even though it's beautiful,
To me, it still looks grey.
The condition of my heart,
Is in a desolate state. 

There's nothin' good about lonely:
It hurts like hell.
And although I've never been down there,
I've felt enough pain to know just as well.
I feel so empty,
Without you here to hold me.
I'm tryin' so hard to be happy.
There's nothin' good about lonely.

I thought a change of scenery,
Would change my point of view.
But even the magical ocean,
Is just another shade of blue.
Now getting out of bed,
Is getting harder to do.

There's nothin' good about lonely:
It hurts like hell.
And although I've never been down there,
I've felt enough pain to know (it) just as well.
I feel so empty,
Without you here to hold me.
An' I'm tryin' so hard to be happy,
But there's nothin' good about lonely.

I'm tryin' so hard to be happy,
But there's nothin' good about lonely.

Got There First lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I shouldn't be missin' you;
It makes no sense.
Should be wearin' "I'm-over-you" boots,
An' goin' dancin'.
I'm havin' one of those, 
One of those days;
God knows I've had a few,
But I know it's temporary.

I got a good life now,
But every once in a while,
A little breakdown.
It ain't no good thing,
I'll be drivin' along,
An' hear stories to sing an' get lost,
Yeah, I have to stop,
'Cause I'll get all caught up in the sad.
I have a little breakdown.

I think it's over an' done;
Then I lose control.
But when you're givin' your heart to someone,
It's inevitable.
The first thing you never learn about love,
Is that you never really let it go.
I'm a walkin' contradiction.
Yeah. 

I got a good life now,
But every once in a while,
A little breakdown.
It ain't no big thing,
I'll be drivin' along,
An' hear stories to sing an' get lost,
Yeah, I have to stop,
'Cause I'll get all caught up in the sad.
I have a little breakdown, yeah.

Breakdown.
I have a little breakdown, yeah.
I lose sleep, but hey, 
I can always catch up the next day.
A few tears:
Well everyone needs a good cry now an' then,
Anyway.

Yeah, I got a good life now,
But every once in a while,
A little breakdown.
It ain't no big thing,
I'll be drivin' along,
An' hear stories to sing an' get lost,
Yeah, I have to stop,
'Cause I'll get all caught up in the sad.
I have a little breakdown.
Yeah, a little breakdown.

Oh, I shouldn't be missin' you;
It makes no sense.
Should be wearin' "I'm-over-you" boots,
An' goin' dancin'.
Oh yeah.

"Dress Rehearsal" (2004)




Dress Rehearsal lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

Days pass me by just like moments
they're here and then they're gone for good
for good
I work so hard at where I'm going
I wonder what I've missed
I can't remember the last time
I picked up the phone just to talk for hours on end
I've sent a birthday card unbelated
Maybe I should slow it down

Life doesn't wait for us
to get it right day after night
It just goes on when it goes wrong
it goes and then it's gone
So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it
avoid regrets
take a breath
realize
Time is irreversable
this ain't no dress rehearsal

I've always got a big to do list
oh but there's so much more to do, to see
I want to know that I didn't leave "I love yous" trapped within my heart
There won't always be another day to
say all the things you wanna say
so don't, don't wait for the perfect situation
It will never come around

Life doesn't wait for us
to get it right day after night
It just goes on when it goes wrong
it goes and then it's gone
So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it
avoid regrets
take a breath
realize
Time is irreversable
this ain't no dress rehearsal

When the show is over
and they lay me down
I wanna be remembered
for the love I spread around

Life doesn't wait for us
to get it right day after night
It just goes on when it goes wrong
it goes and then it's gone
So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it
avoid regrets
take a breath
realize
Time is irreversable
this ain't no dress rehearsal

This ain't no dress rehearsal

He's Mine lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

Every woman wants, Every woman needs
What everybody thinks is impossible,
Unachievable
A man who is strong, Admits he's wrong
Laughs along
And is up for anything and everything
A lot of heart, Not afraid to try a little
Tenderness
All my friends used to say where you ever
Gonna find a man like this
Well I got him

[Chorus:]
He's Mine
He makes me feel like a real live woman
Inside
Funny how a little love can get you so
High
Can't wait to get my hands on him
Tonight, Tonight
He's mine

The way he looks at me, Across a crowded
Room, Doesn't say a word
Man that moves me, That man loves me
He takes me in his arms, I open up my heart,
It's like the waters part
And it's just him and me, nothing in between
Just when I think it's never gonna get any
Better than this
He touches me tenderly and we melt together
In a long slow kiss

[Repeat Chorus]

Simple Life lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

Da Da Da Da, Da Da Da 
I have wondered this world
Far and wide
I've been all around to the other side
But theres nothing like coming home,
Nothing like coming home

I wanna sit on my front porch
And drink my lemonade
Cut my grass after church every sunday
And Go out saturday night, 
And live the simple life
Wake up in the morning to these fields of gold
Take a long walk down a gravel road

[Chorus]
Spend my days in the sweet sunshine
Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow
Know that I'll always have someone to hold
Oh I wanna live the simple life, yeah

I wanna take a blanket down to the creek
And let the water sing me to sleep
And let go in time
Live the simple life..
Well lately I've seen too many city lights
I wanna go somewhere where i can see the stars at night

[Chorus]

Spend my days in the sweet sunshine
Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow
Know that I'll always have someone to hold, 
Oh I wanna live the simple life, yeah yeah.

[Chorus]

Spend my days in the sweet sunshine
Rock in my swing, and watch my babies grow
Know that I'll always have some, someone to hold,
Oh, Spend my days in the sweet sunshine
Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow,
Know that I'll always have someone to hold
Oh I wanna live the simple life,
Oh I wanna live the simple life.
Da Da Da Da, Da Da Da Da..
Mm That's Right.

Die Of A Broken Heart lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I keep having these disturbing dreams,
My final days, the end of me,
For some odd reason I get one last wish,
And every time I wish for this...

[Chorus:]
Take me fast or take me slow,
I don't really care how I go.
In the daylight, or in the dark,
Just don't let me die of a broken heart.

The kinda pain that you just can't take,
That sends a strong man to his grave.
There's not a pill that can give you rest,
Or fill that hole deep in your chest.

[Chorus]

Nooooo. 
Yeah, yeah. 
Yeah.

I've been crushed by that hurt before,
There's no way I could take anymore.
If I fell in love and I found it out it would happen again,
I'd say take me now.

[Chorus (x2)]

No, don't let me die of a broken heart.
No.
