(Carlene Carter/Al Anderson)
In the silence before the morning breaks
I listen to every breath he takes
I look at him and my heart aches
I love him and he will be mine
He opens up those baby blues
When he looks at me I can't refuse
He lets me know his heart beats true
I love him and he will be mine
He's all I ever want or need until the end of time
I'll show him what he means to me
I love him and he will be mine
I'm grindin' up some coffee beans
As he slips into his faded jeans
He looks at me and my heart sings
I love him and he will be mine
My baby he's a workin' man
With a gentle touch from callused hands
He holds me like nobody can
I love him and he will be mine
He's all I ever want or need until the end of time
I'll show him what he means to me
I love him and he will be mine
Turnin' my world upside down
Spinnin' my head around and around
Better not try and drive my car
'Cause when he kisses me than I see stars
In the silence before the morning breaks
I listen to every breath he takes
I look at him and my heart aches
I love him and he will be mine
He's all I ever want or need until the end of time
I'll show him what he means to me
I love him and he will be minewell he fell from the skies
with a sense he devised
and he dropped out of school
with his evil sunglasses
and the desert he crossed
was a picture to see
roll in the sand
he had it all in his hand
(chorus)
you're gonna live forever
we can see you roll in the sand
he was a bungling thief
turning fiction to fact
and back at the hill
they want him to act
(chorus)
