(Mary Chapin Carpenter)



You're like a cool breeze to a hot spell

You're like a long drink to a dry well

Oh I know by now there's no use thinking

That it's something in that water I've been drinking

Cause I would not need even one more drop if you'd just let me into your heart



you're like a blue sky to a grey day

you're like a new try to an old way

Oh I never needed much convincing 'bout that something in my life that's been missing

But I think I know where to find that part if you'd just let me into your heart



I got a past baby, now who doesn't

I won't ask you to think that I wasn't

Who I was back then, yes it's true

But that was when I didn't know you



You're like a sweet sight to these tired eyes

You're like the first light after a long night

Oh I never believed in the hands of fate

But to be with you baby, I believe I'd wait

Til the end of time for a chance to start

If you'd just let me into your heart



You're like a sweet smile to these tired eyes

You're like the last mile on a long ride

Oh I never believed in the arms of fate

But to be in yours darling, I believe I'd wait

Til the end of time for a chance to start

If you'd just let me into your heart

Til the end of time, baby I can start

If you'd just let me into your heart
