Lyrics...
(All songs written by Aron Holt)
Two days from no where
Spent two days out of my mind
Going on the road
Had to leave her behind
Stars and headlights
Lines are a blur
I look up to heaven
And whisper these words
Lord if you’re with me
Hear my silent prayer
Under your moonlit sky
Lord if you love me
Let me get to
When I first knew her
She loved someone other than me
Now I’m in her heart
But in her arms is where I should be
If I could just see her
How long has it been?
I look up to heaven
And whisper again
Lord if you’re with me
Hear my silent pray
Under your moonlit sky
Lord if you love me
Let me get to
Lord if you love me
Let me get to
Lord if you’re with me
Hear my silent prayer
Under your moonlit sky
Lord if you love me
Let me get to
Lord if you love me
Let me get to
Mercy
Mercy smiled and turned around slow
Then she walked away as I said
Guess I better be moving on cause you know I want to stay
These days we’ve spent together
Seem like years
Better not forget about me
She said, though fighting the tears
Times like this I won’t remember
But I can’t forget
Stepping out on a lifetime road as her eyes were getting wet
Told Mercy not to cry
It ain’t as bad as it seems
Who knows I may be back someday
So close your eyes and kiss my lips
I’ll see you in my dreams
But now I’ve got to be on my way
Then I put that car in drive
Was gonna try to catch the sun
With my heart aching in my chest
Like a shot from a loaded gun
Rolled out on a Tuesday morning
Didn’t leave a trace
With rain hitting on the windshield
Like tears on a crying face
Seems I lost myself again
But I don’t know how
I’m too tired to keep on going
It’s too late to turn around
Because I spent some time in a five by nine out in
Saved my soul and sent me on my way
Because they don’t much like folks
Who don’t believe in Jesus
I told them we would all see some day
We’d all see some day
We’d all see some day
We’d all see some day
We’d all see some day
Mercy smiled and turned around slow
Then she walked away
Prettiest Girl at the Dance
Well, I signed my name in the year of ‘01
Mother was gone
Father’s only son
Said for God and Country
And all of your kind
But I ain’t got nothing but you on my mind
Pretty brown haired girl in the summertime
Yellow dress all around
Blue eyes that I get lost in
Take my hand
Prettiest girl at the dance
Well, they flew me across the ocean so blue
But I ain’t got nothing if I ain’t got you
Then, they gave me a riffle and stood me in line
But, I ain’t go nothing but you on my mind
Pretty brown haired girl in the summertime
Yellow dress falling down
Blue eyes that I get lost in
Take my hand
Let me be your man
Prettiest girl at the dance
Well, they flew me back home with a purple heart
But, my heart was broken because we were apart
Well, they flew me across the ocean so blue
But I ain’t got nothing if I ain’t got you
Pretty brown haired girl in the summertime
With her tears falling down
Blue eyes that I get lost in
Take my hand
Let me be your man
I swear to God
You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
Take my hand
Sara
Sara walks along the beach
Holding hands with me
Smiling as we go
Said that she is so in love
And I’m staring at my feet
Wondering how to spell her name
Sara don’t know
It takes a lot of love to live a lie
I’ve often told
And when I go
I will leave between the middle of the night
That’s when I’ll go
Sara’s only seventeen
And I’m barely twenty-one
Too young to be a man
Now its time for me to go
And I have to let her know
Well I hope she understands
Sara don’t know
It takes a lot of love to live a lie
That I’ve often told
And when I go
I will leave between the middle of the night
That’s when I’ll go
Now I’m walking on the beach
Salty summer breeze
Broken heart in tow
Then the moment our eyes meet
She smiles back at me
As I begin to spell her name
Sara don’t know
It takes a lot of love to live a lie
That I’m often told
And when I go
I will leave between the middle of the night
That’s when I’ll go
