She's Touched In The Heart

She’s Touched in the Heart
Words and music by Chris Wommack
You oughtta see her every night at the Crazy Jane
Waitin’ around for some stud, she don’t know his name
And she’s all a twitter, and everyone with her knows the score
She checks her watch wonderin’ when will he hit the door
It’s been this way since she saw him the week before
And she’s going crazy, ‘cause everyone says he’s hers for sure
She’s touched in the heart and she’s actin’ funny
Head over heels and I’ll betcha money
She’ll be fallin’ in love too fast if she’s not too smart
She’s touched in the heart, make no doubt about it
Lookin’ for love and she won’t leave without it
So she’s doin’ the best she can just to play her part
She’s touched in the heart
Look at the way he tips his hat as he passes by
She’s sure that she’s the only woman to catch his eye
Her heart’s beatin’ faster; is he gonna ask her for a dance
She smiles a smile that could stop the moon up in the sky
This is the moment she’s been waitin’ for all night
The music is playin’ and she’s softly prayin’ for romance

Feather Pillow
Words and music by Chris Wommack
I wanna be your feather pillow
A place for you to lay your head
A sweet companion for you dreams and goodnight kisses
Laying softly on your bed
I wanna be, I wanna be your feather pillow
I wanna be the earth you walk on
A firm foundation for your feet
A path that leads you to true love and understanding
Where our souls alone can meet
I wanna be, I wanna be
The earth you walk on
To live beside you every day
And be there if you lose your way
To listen to you when you say what’s on your mind
And in your heart
I wanna be the sky you live in
When soaring high above the storm
A vast expanse for all your hopes and your ambitions
A blazing sun to keep you warm
I wanna be, I wanna be the sky you live in
I wanna be your feather pillow
A place for you to lay your head
A sweet companion for your dreams and goodnight kisses
Laying softly on your bed
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be, I wanna be your feather pillow

Tellin’ You
Words and music by Chris Wommack
I told my mama when I was five
I told my dad when he let me drive
I told my Sunday School teacher, too
And now I’m tellin’ you
I love you, I love you
Can’t say it any better and somethin’ tells me that forever
I’ll still be tellin’ you
I told the neighbor boy when I was twelve
Sometimes I even have to tell myself
But that’s just somethin’ that I oughtta do
Right now, I’m tellin’ you
I told Jesus when I got saved
I told my teacher in the second grade
So I ain’t sayin’ that it’s somethin’ new
But now, I’m tellin’ you

It’s About Time
Words and music by Chris Wommack
How long’s it gonna take from the day my heart was broken
To the time when I start livin’ again
Days or months or years ‘til I wake up in the mornin’
And I don’t think about what might have been
In my heart, I know that someday I’ll be fine
But if my heart could only read what’s on my mind
It’s about thinkin’ and hopin’ and wishin’ and dreamin’
That everything will be alright
It’s about waitin’ and wonderin’ and cryin’ and schemin’
Just to make it through the night
It’s not about you anymore
It’s about time
How long’s it gonna take ‘til the smell of mornin’ coffee
Doesn’t make me think of you and that smile
Once upon a time, I could shake these feelings off me
And go on with what was left of my life
In my heart, I know that someday I’ll be fine
But if my heart could only read what’s on my mind

That First Second Glance
Words and music by Chris Wommack
Let me take us back to that night at Joe’s
You were comin’ in and I was about to go
I saw you standin’ there
Then I looked again and I declare
I heard music, I felt goofy, there was magic goin’ through me
If I ever wondered how we got this far
It was anything but chance
It was that first second glance
I guess time stood still for an hour or two
I know I sure did just takin’ a gaze at you
I thank my lucky stars
You were standin’ there the way you are
You and me together wrapped up in a perfect love
Ain’t been nothin’ better since God made Eve
And that boy she couldn’t keep her eyes off of

I Can’t Concentrate
Words and music by Chris Wommack
My friends keep tellin’ me to get my act together
But I’m not actin’, I could think of you forever
I can’t remember what it’s like to spend a minute
Of a single hour of a single day without you in it
Your walk, your talk, your style, that smile, your way of thinkin’
It took one look to call it all to my attention
Everything I do, I think of you
I’m in an awful state
I can’t concentrate
I can’t concentrate
I need to focus, put these thoughts of you behind me
But everywhere I look, there’s somethin’ to remind me
The simplest thing takes me forever to get to it
I keep tryin’ hard to think of somethin’ else, but I can’t do it
Your walk, your talk, your style, that smile, your way of thinkin’
It took one look to call it all to my attention
Everything I do, I think of you
Some things will have to wait
I can’t concentrate
I can’t concentrate
Okay, let’s see, where was I, what was I about to do?
I can’t remember, so I’ll just sit here and think about you
Your walk, your talk, your style, that smile, your way of thinkin’
It took one look to call it all to my attention
Everything I do, I think of you
I’m in an awful state
I can’t concentrate
I can’t concentrate
Your walk, your talk
Your style, that smile
Everything I do, I think of you
I’m in an awful state
I can’t concentrate
I can’t concentrate
Your walk, your talk
Your style, that smile
Get my act together
I could think of you forever
I can’t concentrate

Even Higher
Words and music by Chris Wommack
My daddy told me I could do anything
Ride a rocket to the moon, sing a country western tune
I still believe in every possibility
‘Cause he told me I could be anything I want to be.
Babe, it’s a great big world
Get out and go for it, girl
You can reach even higher than your dreams
Live everyday to the extreme
Find your place, go out and chase your heart’s desire
There ain’t no river you can’t cross
Step out and show the world who’s boss
Reach for the stars; chances are you could shine even brighter
Pick any mountain you can find, and climb even higher.
With any luck I could be president
Or the person of the year, ride a bull or rope a steer
Be on the cover of a fashion magazine,
Steal some handsome fella’s heart; hitch my wagon to a star
Dad, it’s a great big world, I’m gonna give it a whirl.
And reach even higher than my dreams
Live everyday to the extreme
Find my place, go out and chase my heart’s desire
There ain’t no river I can’t cross
Step out and show the world who’s boss
Reach for the stars; chances are I could shine even brighter
Pick any mountain I can find, and climb even higher.
Whatever happens I’m gonna be my best.
Do what I can and let God do the rest.

Take it Like a Man

Take it Like a Man
Words and music by Chris Wommack
It’s time for you to quit callin’, cryin’
Beggin’ me to come back home
It’s time for me to be truckin’, movin’
Headin’ on down the road
So get on with yourself and get over me
Take a lesson from our past and baby, let it be
Take it like a man, get up on your feet,
Can’t you understand, it’s over between you and me
I’ve done every little thing I can
Come on boy, take it like a man
I think I’ll head out to Dallas, Vegas, maybe even hit L.A.
See if maybe some distance convinces you that I’ve gone away
‘Cause I’ve made up my mind, this is overdue
And ain’t it about time you believed it too?
You can keep the cards and the candy too
There’s nothing left to say and nothing you can do

Anymore
Words and music by Chris Wommack
Sometimes love ain’t got no rhyme or reason
Sometimes it’s the curse or it’s the cure
Sometimes you can’t help yourself for feeling like you do
And you can’t shake it, no you can’t shake it
I’ll always love you, I’ll always need you
I’ll always want you, just like before
‘Cause you can’t make me love you any less
Even if you won’t let me love you anymore
Go ahead and tell me you don’t love me
Try your best to break my heart in two
I’ve already cried myself to pieces over you
And you can’t change me, no you can’t change me

You’re It
Words and music by Chris Wommack
You’re it, you’re hot, you’re what I’ve got to get
To make the pieces fit, baby, you’re it
You are, I’ve gone too far to quit
I need you, I admit, baby, you’re it
You’ve got the bluest pair of eyes I’ve ever seen
And that’s the cutest little nose there in between
That smile is so divine, it’s drivin’ me insane
I can’t begin to tell you, boy, what’s goin’ through my brain
I wanna take you in my arms and hold you tight
I wanna make your dreams come true, if that’s alright
I know without a doubt that this was meant to be
‘Cause I was made for you, and baby, you were made for me
You’re it, you’re hot, you’re what I’ve got to get
To make the pieces fit, baby, you’re it
You’re fine, you’re what I had in mind
I’ve fallen, I admit, baby, you’re it

All Those Happy Endings

All Those Happy Endings
Words and music by Chris Wommack
She was just a child of three and life was full of mystery
And bedtime stories filled her dreams
With castles and Prince Charmings
She lived every fairy tale, on winds of wonder she set sail
And all of life was make-believe; for now, who was it harming?
And she loves all those happy endings
Where the slipper always fits
And there’s always time to rescue Sleeping Beauty with a kiss
And she dreams of ever after, and spends her days pretending
She’s the fairest of them all, she finally makes it to the ball
And she finds all her happy endings
One year after turning twelve, so insecure about herself
She took up with an older crowd in need of some attention
‘Cause Daddy left when she was eight
And Mama don’t get home ‘til late
So make-believe is just escape from all her apprehensions
Just a girl at seventeen, a drop-out from the party scene
The boy she had the baby with took off and joined the army
She looks older than she is; the nursery rhymes are for her kid
And every night she tells him he’s her very own Prince Charming

You Could’ve Had Me
Words and music by Holly Tucker
In the whole wide world, my paradise
Is here in your arms, and it feels so right
The way you laugh, the way you look at me
Your face is burned into my memory
The music of your heart beating with mine
This is the way it’s supposed to be
I want you to know
How deep, how far my love would go
And I want you to see
How much you mean to me
I’ve prayed, I’ve cried, I just don’t know why
You chose her when you could’ve had me
You tell me you didn’t know it was possible
That in your old baseball cap, I’m still beautiful
And I bet you think that I don’t notice
Your little sideways glance and the smile on your lips
When you’re with her, you act like nothing’s wrong
But we both know you’re thinking of me
Don’t you know every time you kiss her
I’m wishing I could take her place
And don’t you know every time she hurts you
I feel it like it’s my own pain
Maybe someday you just might know
How deep, how far my love could go
And maybe one day you just might see
How much you mean to me
I’ve prayed, I’ve cried, baby, please tell me why
You chose her when you could’ve had me

Baby, Say Yes
Words and music by Holly Tucker
I see you starin’ at me across the room
I tell my girls, “Wow, he’s cute!”
I shimmy over to you and ask you out Baby, say yes
You smile and I melt and somethin’ in my heart
Awakens and shines with the light of the morning star
And somehow, I know without a doubt Baby, say yes
Baby, say yes without inhibitions
Let’s start up our dreams with the key in the ignition
No one to tell us where or when
Out on the open road and we won’t turn back again
Sparks flyin’ every which way or where
We don’t know why, but we just don’t care
As long as we’re together, side by side
Sit back and relax and enjoy the ride Baby, say yes
Tonight, let’s dance in the pourin’ rain
With your arms wrapped around me we can fly away
And if we fall in love, it ain’t no sin Baby, say yes
I look at the ground then I look up at you
Before I know it, you’re kissin’ me under the moon
And then I smile and I say, “Honey, kiss me again!” Baby, say yes
I love you, and you love me
Those three little words explain it perfectly
From that day we met, we knew we’d always be together
So now let’s place all our bets on forever
Baby, say yes
