Amy Grant - Heart in Motion Album Lyrics

You like to dance and listen to the music
I like to sing with the band
You like your hands splashing in the ocean
But I like my feet on the sand
Does anybody have it any better?
Isn't it easy to see just how well we fit together?

When I start to sing the blues
You pull out my dancing shoes
I think you could be so good for me
You get brave when I get shy
Just another reason why
I think you could be so good for me
So good

You like to drive like Mario Andretti
I like it taking my time
But let me say wherever you are going
You know it suits me just fine
Does anybody have it any better?
Isn't it easy to see just how well we fit together?

When I start to sing the blues
You pull out my dancing shoes
I think you could be so good for me

You get brave when I get shy
Just another reason why
I think you could be so good for me

Could be so good for me
You could be so good
Could be so good
Could be so good for me

You get brave when I get shy
Another reason why
You could be so good for
Good for me, baby
Good for me, baby
When I want to sing the blues
Good for me, baby

Oh, when I want to sing the blues
Good for me, baby
You could be so good
Good for me, baby

(Amy Grant & Keith Thomas)

Baby, baby
I'm taken with the notion
To love you with the sweetest of devotion

Baby, baby
My tender love will flow from
The bluest sky to the deepest ocean

Stop for a minute
Baby I'm so glad you're mine, yeah
You're mine

Baby, baby
The stars are shining for you
And just like me I'm sure that they adore you

Baby, baby
Go walking through the forest
The birds above a' singing you a chorus

Stop for a minute
Baby they're so glad you're mine, oh yeah
And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby I realize that there's just no getting over you

Baby, baby
In any kind of weather
I'm here for you always and forever

Baby, baby
No muscle man could sever
My love for you is true and it will never

Stop for a minute
Baby I'm so glad you're mine
And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby I realize that there's just no getting over you

And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby I realize that there's just no getting over you
Over you

Baby, baby
Always and forever
Baby I'm so glad that
Here for you baby
So glad you're mine
Baby I'm so glad that
When I think about you it makes me smile
Baby, baby be mine
Baby, I'm so glad that
Don't stop giving love
Don't stop, no
Baby I'm so glad that you're mine
Baby I'm so glad
Baby I'm so glad that
When I think about you it makes me smile

(Amy Grant, Wayne Kirkpatrick, Charlie Peacock)

Hear me speak what's on my mind
Let me give this testimony
To reaffirm that you will find
That you are my one and only
No exception to this rule
I'm simple but I'm no fool
I've got a witness happy to say
Every hour, every day

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you

Classic case of boy meets girl
Moving in the same direction
You're not asking for the world
I'm not asking for perfection
Just a love that's well designed
For passing the test of time
I'm here to tell you
I'm here to stay
Every hour, every day

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
Ask anyone and they'll tell you it's true
Every heartbeat belongs to you

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, sure maybe I'm on the edge
But I love you baby and like I said
I'm here to tell you
I'm here to stay
Every hour, every day

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
Ask anyone and they'll tell you it's true
Every heartbeat belongs to you

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim, yeah
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
And every heartbeat belongs to you

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
Ask anyone and they'll tell you it's true
Every heartbeat belongs to you

Sometimes we make it harder than it is
We'll take a perfect night
And fill it up with words we don't mean
Dark sides best unseen
And we wonder why we're feeling this way

Sometimes I wonder if we really feel the same
Why we can be unkind
Questioning the strongest of hearts
That's when we must start
Believing in the one thing that has gotten us this far

That's what love is for
To help us through it
That's what love is for
Nothing else can do it
Melt our defenses
Bring us back to our senses
Give us strength to try once more
Baby, that's what love is for

Sometimes I see you
And you don't know why I'm there
And I'm washed away by emotions
I hold deep down inside
Getting stronger with time
It's living through the fire
And holding on we find

That's what love is for
To help us through it
That's what love is for
Nothing else can do it
Melt our defenses
Bring us back to our senses
Give us strength to try once more
Baby, that's what love is for

Believing in the one thing
That has gotten us this far
That's what love is for
To help us through it
That's what love is for
Nothing else can do it
Round off the edges
Talk us down from the ledges
Give us strength to try once more
Baby, that's what love is for
That's what love is for

That's what love is for
Melt our defenses
Bring us back to our senses
Give us strength to try once more
Baby, that's what love is for
That's what love is for
That's what love is for
That's what love is for

I see her as a little girl
Hiding in her room
She takes another bath
And she sprays her mama's perfume
To try to wipe away
The scent he left behind
But it haunts her mind

You see, she's his little rag
Nothing more than just a waif
And he's mopping up his need
She is tired and afraid
Maybe she'll find a way
Through these awful years
To disappear

Ask me if I think there's a God up in the Heaven
Where did He go in the middle of her shame?
Ask me if I think there's a God up in the Heaven
I see no mercy, and no one down here's naming names
Nobody's naming names

Now, she's looking in the mirror
At a lovely woman face
No more frightened little girl
Like she's gone without a trace
Still she leaves the light
Burning in the hall
It's hard to sleep at all

'Til she crawls up in her bed
Acting quiet as a mouse
Deep inside, she's listening
For a creaking in the house
But no one's left to harm her
She's fin'ly safe and sound
There's a peace she has found

Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the Heaven
Where did He go in the middle of her shame?
Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the Heaven
She said His mercy is bringing her life again
She's coming to life again

He's in the middle of her pain, in the middle of her shame
Mercy brings life
He's in the middle
Mercy in the middle

So ask me how I know
Ask me how I know

Ask me how I know there's a God up in the Heaven
Where did He go in the middle of her shame?
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the Heaven
She said His mercy is bringing her life again

Ask me how I know there's a God up in the Heaven
Where did He go in the middle of her shame?
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the Heaven
She said His mercy is bringing her life again

(Amy Grant, Mimi Verner, Gardner Cole, Michael Omartian)

In the year of fourteen ninety-two
When Columbus sailed the ocean blue
Had he landed on India's shore
You might never have come to knock on my door

Who needs a rhyme or a reason
Some dreams were made to find
So I know that I must follow

[Chorus:]
Ask me just how much I love you
You are starlight, I'm Galileo
Even on the darkest night oh
I will find a shining light of our love

Through the rain clouds thundering nights
Mr. Franklin stood there holding his kite
He was crazy always pressing his luck
But he got what he wanted when lightning struck, yeah

Who needs a rhyme or a reason
Some dreams were made to find
So I know that I must follow

[Chorus]

I believe in you and the special love we could share
And maybe one day darling you'll turn around
And all I really know is I will be there

Who needs a rhyme or a reason
This dream was made to find
So I know that I will follow

Ask me just how much I love you
You are starlight, I'm Galileo
Even on the darkest night oh
I will find a shining light
I will find a shining light of our love

Ask me just how much I love you
I'm Galileo
Even on the darkest night oh
I will find a shining light of our love
Ask me just how much I love you
I'm Galileo

(Dennis Morgan, Simon Climie, Rob Fisher)

I saw you walking by yourself
Your eyes were crying out for help
I know you feel your pain is more
Than anyone's been hurt before
I know love hurts when it's over
If you wanna cry it's alright
You're like a fallen soldier
But you just can't lay down and die

[Chorus:]
You've got to remember
You're not alone in this world
Always remember
You're not alone in this world

The moment that I looked at you
I recognized the killing truth
You really think there's no way out
But if you let me, I can help you now
Through all these shattered emotions
There's a lesson to learn
So come on let me hold you closer
Love can soothe what love has burned

[Chorus]
You've got to remember
Never alone, never alone, never, never alone

I got to tell you now baby
Through all these shattered emotions
There's a lesson to learn
So come on let me hold you close because
Love can soothe what love has burned

[Chorus 2x]

(Amy Grant & Chris Eaton)

The sun comes up
The breakfast show
Can't you see me running
It's crazy don't you know?

The moon is high
I'm working through the night
Will somebody tell me
Where do all the hours go?

Well, it don't stop
No, it's never gonna stop
Why do I have to wear so many things on my head?
HATS!
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?
HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you

The water is hot
The phone don't stop
So how do I manage
To hold on to my sanity?

The red dress on
Time for having fun
But can I really be
The girl you think you see in me?

The spirit is willing
But the flesh is weak
Why do I ahve to wear so many things on my head?
HATS!
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?
HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you

HATS!
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?
HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you

This may be a dream come true
This may be poetry in motion
This may be a dream come true
But when it all comes down
It's an awful lot to do

HATS!
It don't stop
No it's never gonna stop
Why do I have to wear things on my head?
HATS!
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?

HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you
HATS!
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?
HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best
Very best,
HATS!
What am I supposed to do?
HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you

It don't stop
No it's never gonna stop
Why do I have to wear
Why do I have to wear
HATS!
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?
HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you

(Amy Grant, Gary Chapman, Keith Thomas)

I will be walking one day
Down a street far away
And see a face in the crowd and smile
Knowing how you made me laugh
Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past
I will remember you

Look in my eyes while you're near
Tell me what's happening here
See that I don't want to say goodbye
Our love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion and you will be mine
I will remember
I will remember you

Later on
When this fire is an ember
Later on
When the night's not so tender
Given time
Though it's hard to remember darlin'
I will be holding
I'll still be holding to you
I will remember you

So many years come and gone
And yet the memory is strong
One word we never could learn
Goodbye
True love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion and you will be mine
I will remember you
So please remember
I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you

(Amy Grant & Tom Hemby)

We said our promises by candlelight
You held my hands, I was dressed in white
We were young
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?

I knew I wanted you like no one else
I told my momma that I'd found myself
In your eyes
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?

But like your daddy said
The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down
If we lean into it
Will drive our fears away

And when I woke you in the dead of night
To hold my hands, push away the fright
Life had come - a son
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?

Yeah we were nervous and a little scared
Until the music of our baby's cry
Filled the air
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?

But like your daddy said
The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down
If we lean into it
Will drive our fears away

We might die
We might die
We could hurt each other badly
Do things, things so hard to forgive
Oh and if time is not our friend
Your mind might forget me before the end
And oh I cannot
I cannot look that far

But like your daddy said
How can we see that far?
The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down
If we lean into it
How can we see that far?
Will drive our fears away
It's the same sun, yeah
And the same rain
It's the same sun
And the same rain

(Amy Grant)

I've got my hope set high
That's why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light

I've got my hope set high
That's why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light
And I can do my best
And pray to the Father
But the one thing I ought to know by now

[Chorus:]
When it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there's anything good that happens in life
It's from Jesus

[Chorus]

You know that when it all comes down

[Chorus]

I've got my hope set high
And like a star at night
Out of the deepest dark
It shines the purest light

I've got my hope set high
Beyond the wrong and right
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light
Cause I can do my best
And pray to the Father
But the one thing I ought to know by now

[Chorus]

I'll tell you when it all comes down

[Chorus]
