It Matters To Me (1995)




















Someone Else's Dream lyrics - Faith Hill

Her momma's still got that sequin gown that she wore in '68
She taught her early how to smile that smile and wave from the parade
It took a whole lot of years and tears
For her momma to finally admit
No matter how many stitches and pins
That old dress was never gonna fit

She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, pageant queen
She said, "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me
Waking up in someone else's dream."

Her daddy used to say, "You'll make a lovely bride someday
He'll ride up on big white horse and just carry you away"
It took twenty-five years and some broken vows
Before they'd finally see
There's a little more to love and life
Than fairy tales and hand-me-down dreams

She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, pageant queen
She said, "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me
Waking up in someone else's dream."

Now she's got twenty-seven candles on her cake
And she means to make her life her own
Before there's twenty-eight

She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, pageant queen
She said, "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me
Waking up in someone else's..."

She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, pageant queen
She said, "All my life I've been pleasing everyone but me
Waking up in someone else's, someone else's dream."

Oh, in someone else's dream

Let's Go To Vegas lyrics - Faith Hill

Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride

Lyin' on the bank of the river
Stars are dancin', Lord it's hot
Holdin' you is what I live for
I just had a crazy thought

Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride

We'll find a little wedding chapel
A pair of rings and a preacher too
Underneath the neon steeple
We'll take a gamble and say "I do"

Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride

Viva Las Vegas, sparklin' lights
Dangerous livin', tumblin' dice
You're my ace in the hole now honey
I'm your lady luck
Pack a few things and a little money
And put 'em in the truck

Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride

Viva Las Vegas, sparkling lights
Dangerous living, tumbling dice
You're my ace in the hole now, honey
And I'm your lady luck
Pack a few things and a little money
And put 'em in the truck

Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride

Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride

Bet on love and let it ride
Bet on love and let it ride
Woo!

It Matters To Me lyrics - Faith Hill

Baby, tell me where'd you ever learn
To fight without saying a word
Then waltz back into my life
Like it's all gonna be alright
Don't you know how much it hurts?

When we don't talk, when we don't touch
When it doesn't feel like we're even in love
It matters to me
When I don't know what to say, don't know what to do
Don't know if it really even matters to you
How can I make you see?
It matters to me

Maybe I still don't understand
The distance between a woman and a man
So tell me how far it is
And how you can love like this
'Cause I'm not sure I can

When we don't talk, when we don't touch
When it doesn't feel like we're even in love
It matters to me
When I don't know what to say, don't know what to do
Don't know if it really even matters to you
How can I make you see?
It matters to me

Oh, when I don't know what to say, don't know what to do
Don't know if it really even matters to you
How can I make you see?
Oh, it matters to me
Oh, it matters to me
It matters to me

Bed Of Roses lyrics - Faith Hill

There's something about your manner
That makes it hard to see
Just how you take advantage
Of a working girl like me
I've seen you set them up
And I've seen you take them down
Our love is legal tender
For your kind to pass around

Don't want your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't wanna be your living doll
Don't wanna be no woman scorned
I don't wanna watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses

I've tasted good and bad love in the honky-tonks and bars
I've settled for the moon when I was reaching for the stars
And though sometimes I have stumbled, I've been known to fall
It was always true love that took me to the wall

Don't want your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't wanna be your living doll
Don't wanna be no woman scorned
Well, I don't wanna watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses

Girl, you better hide your love away (Hide your love away)
Girl, you better save it for another day (Another day)

Don't want your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't wanna be your living doll
Don't wanna be no woman scorned
Well, I don't wanna watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses

Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't wanna be your living doll
Don't wanna be no woman scorned
Well, I don't wanna watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses

A Man's Home Is His Castle lyrics - Faith Hill

Linda works the diner
Pourin' coffee, slingin' hash
She said, "I wouldn't have come in today
But I really need the cash
I know I can't fool anyone
'Cause dark glasses tell no lies
But make-up won't cover up a blackened eye"
Oh, oh, oh no

You see, Jimmy works construction now
But yesterday it rained
So he went down to the liquor store
And by noon, he felt no pain
I came in an hour late
Then I let his supper burn
Well, he hit the roof
Hit the wall
And then it was my turn

He said, "A man's home is his castle
It always has been
And so it remains"
But he holds the keys in a fist of rage
His home is his castle
And mine is a cage

Someone must have heard the noise
And they dialed 911
And the cop who showed up at the door asked
"Is there a problem, son?"
Jimmy smiled and said
"No, sir
Just a little fight, that's all
Hey, you know how it gets sometimes
When you're layin' down the law"
Oh, oh, oh no

So I pulled out my suitcase
I started packin' up my clothes
And Jimmy said
"Now, Linda
Where do you expect to go with those?"

I told him I have tried
But not an ounce of love survives
Well, he grabbed my wrist
And shouted, "You're not leaving here alive"

She said, "I'm savin' up my money
And when I get the nerve, I'll run"
But Jim don't give up easily, so I intend to buy a gun
He will never see the way he treats me is a crime
Somebody oughta lock him up
But I'm the one who's done the time

He said, "A man's home is his castle
It always has been and so it remains"
But he holds the keys in a fist of rage
His home is his castle
And mine is a cage

You Can't Lose Me lyrics - Faith Hill

A little girl, a little small for her age
A little too slow for the field-day race
Momma's waiting at the finish line
And wipes the teardrops from her eyes
She says, "You did just fine honey, that's okay
Sometimes life's just that way
You're gonna lose the race from time to time
But you're always gonna find

You can't lose me
Bet your life
I am here and I will always be
Just a wish away
Wherever you go
No matter how far
My love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe
You can't lose me."

Momma used to say, "Girl, it won't be long
'Til it's time to go out on your own
Chase your dreams, find your place in life
I know you'll do just fine."
When that day finally came
There were things she needed to but could not say
So I whispered softly as I wiped the tears from momma's eyes

"You can't lose me
Bet your life
I am here and I will always be
Just a wish away
Wherever you go
No matter how far
My love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe
You can't lose me

Wherever you go
No matter how far
My love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe
You can't lose me

No, you can't lose me
Bet your life
Wherever you go
No matter how far
My love is where you are
Can't lose me
You can't lose me
Can't lose me
No, you can't lose me
No, you can't lose me."

I Can't Do That Anymore lyrics - Faith Hill

Cut my hair the way you wanted
Watched you become important
Quit my job to make our new home far away
Now you're Mr. Successful and I'm queen of the treadmill
Trying to stay the size you think that I should stay
I used to dream about what I would be
Last night I dreamed about a washing machine

I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore

Now you say I'm being silly
But you don't know me really
You never take the time to ask me how I feel
I keep the checkbook balanced
I decorate your palace
You know I used to think that you were king
Somewhere down deep I know you really love me
But you can't see that what we have's not all I needed

I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore

You try to tell me I'm not being fair to you
But life's too short for a selfish attitude

I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore

I can't do that anymore

A Room In My Heart lyrics - Faith Hill

My heart was once just like a home
With many rooms and open doors
And I always let love in
It would change the rooms around and then
Leave them empty

'Til one by one I locked each door
And soon forgot what love was for
But I never gave up hopin'
So I left just one door open
In case you found me

So there's a room in my heart for you
If your trust has been stolen too
If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor
And leave behind you the hurt you've had before
There's a room in my heart for you

We'll paint the walls from blue to white
And set the mood by candlelight
Together we'll keep out the cold
And I'll still be there when we're old
If you'll let me

So there's a room in my heart for you
If your trust has been stolen too
If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor
And leave behind you the hurt you've had before
There's a room in my heart for you

Just leave behind you the hurt you've had before
'Cause there's a room in my heart for you

You Will Be Mine lyrics - Faith Hill

Heads I win, tails you lose
I always play by my own rules
And I don't believe in wasting time
So long before we end this night

I will have held you
I will have kissed you
I will have claimed you
You will be mine
I will have loved you
Wrong or right
I will have your heart
You will be mine

An unwritten law says a girl should wait
Should let the man set his own pace
But a woman in love, she's above the law
So long before this night is gone

I will have held you
I will have kissed you
I will have claimed you
You will be mine
I will have loved you
Wrong or right
I will have your heart
You will be mine

You top my list of things to do
And I will get close to you
Before this night is through

I will have held you
I will have kissed you
I will have claimed you
You will be mine
I will have loved you
Wrong or right
I will have your heart
You will be mine

I will have held you
I will have kissed you
I will have claimed you
You will be mine, all mine
I will have loved you
Wrong or right
I will have your heart
You will be mine

Keep Walkin' On lyrics - Faith Hill (feat. Shelby Lynne)

Well in this world of sorrow, trouble and temptation
Jesus always promised trial and tribulation
Then He said, "You don't have to fret or fear
Children, be of good cheer and keep walkin' on"
Children, keep walkin' on, keep walkin' on
Keep walkin' on, keep walkin' on

In Jesus Christ the truth is found
He'll keep our feet on solid ground
Sometimes we have to just believe
He put in the Book for us to read
Satan, you can't fool this girl
My Lord overcame this world
Keep I'm walkin' on, keep I'm walkin' on
Lord, I'm walkin' on, yeah I'm walkin' on

Ha-ha. That's right
Come on, Shelby
I need your help on this, man

Jesus walked on the water, Peter walked on it too
God gave you the power to do what cannot do
Every road we travel He's traveled down before
There ain't no need to worry where it leads to anymore
I'm walkin' on, I'm walkin' on, I'm walkin' on
I'm walkin' on, I'm walkin' on, I'm walkin' on

Well the road is narrow and it's straight
But it leads right up to the Golden Gate
It may be rough, it may be long
But I don't have to walk alone
Step by step and day by day
He takes my hand and I hear Him say
Keep walkin' on, gotta keep walkin' on
Oh, keep walkin' on, oh keep walkin' on

What you gonna do? Can't pay the rent
Yeah what you gonna do when the money's spent?
What you gonna do when you just can't cope?
Hey, what you gonna do when you're outta hope?
Oh, keep walkin' on, oh keep walkin' on
Keep walkin' on, oh keep walkin' on

Girl, that is why I love you so much
Keep walkin' on, baby
Come oh, babe
I love you
