Reba - Reba McEntire's Greatest Hits Album Lyrics

When our check bounces at the store
And the whole world seems at war
You bring me peace of mind once more
With just a little love

When the boss says I'm ten minutes late
And the stack of bills just won't wait
Oh, you take the worries away
With just a little love

[Chorus]
Just a little love
And affection
You bring a touch of perfection
To a world that's sometimes crazy
And so mixed up
Just a little love
You have changed me
You make me see why the good Lord made me
And you can do miracles
With just a little love

When our old car won't run
And all my dreams come undone
You'll make it right won't ya hun
With just a little love

When it seems like all the truths are gone
When I'm trying so hard to hold on
You make it easy to be strong
With just a little love

[Chorus]

Like a rare piece of crystal
Like a fine china cup
I kept your memory all safely locked up
Afraid I could never love somebody new
I was trying to save what I had left of you

Then he broke your memory last night
I felt it shatter inside
I guess he held me a little too right
He broke your memory last night

The moment he touched me with his gentle hands
Your memory crumbled like a house built on sand
He swept all the pieces of your love away
And then gave me his love to put in it's place

Cause he broke your memory last night
I felt it shatter inside
I guess he held me a little too right
He broke your memory last night
He broke your memory last night

How blue can you make me?
How long 'til I heal
How can I go on loving you when you're gone
How blue can I feel?

Oh, honey why did you leave me?
Ain't you got a heart left in your chest
And I swear to you that I'm dying
'Cause my mind won't let my body rest

How blue can you make me?
How long 'til I heal
How can I go on loving you when you're gone
How blue can I feel?

'Cause if I sink any lower, I'll go under
And if I cry anymore I'll go blind
Oh, Lord, there ain't no relief for this missing you grief
How long can you torture my mind

Oh, how blue can you make me?
How long 'til I heal?
How can I go on loving you when you're gone
How blue can I feel?

How can I go on loving you when you're gone?
How blue can I feel?

It sure gets quiet
When the kids go to bed
We sit here in the silence
Putting off what must be said
I read a book, you watch TV
As our love dies quietly
I'm so sad, I don't know what I've just read

Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids and they need me
Somebody should leave
Though we hate to give in
We keep hoping somehow we might need each other again

You say goodnight and turn and face the wall
We lie here in the darkness and the tears start to fall
If it was only you and me, goodbye might come more easily
But what about those babies down the hall

Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids, oh, and they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hoping, somehow, we might need each other again
Somebody should leave
Though we hate to give in
We keep hoping, somehow, we might need each other again
Oh, again

Well you look like the kind who's got an eye for a bargain
A kind of guy who likes to shop around
Well I got me this old heart
That I'm putting on the market
And I'll make you a deal you can't turn down

[Chorus]
Have I got a deal for you
A heart that's almost like brand new
And I'll let it go so cheap
You'll think you stole it 'fore you're through
Have I got a deal for you

Well you could search the whole world over
And never find another like it
It's got a built in lifetime guarantee
It's a one time only offer
And darling once you've tried it
You're gonna fall in love with it you'll see

[Chorus]

Oh on a park bench in the middle of July
We sat and watched the children play
If it was the heat or the noise
He didn't have too much to say

Then with a move of his eyes
A move that could have made the wind stand still
He took my hand in his and said the words
That I never will forget

[Chorus]
He said have you ever cheated on me
Has there been someone else
Is there someone you love more than me
Someone you can't forget
If his memory is opened again
Let it be chased away by time
He said have you ever cheated on me
I said only in my mind

How can I tell him
The time we spent together
Was time between friends
There's just somethings I can talk about with you
That I can't just talk with him
How can I tell you
That somewhere in the cards it was meant for us to be
Why am I blushing in front of you now
Is it you or the heat

[Chorus]

You spend an awful lot of time in Massachusetts
Seems Like every other week you've got a meeting waiting there
Business must be booming or could something else
Be moving in the air up there

You say that it's important for our future
An executive on his way up has got to play the part
And each time duty calls you got to give it all
You've got with all your heart

But when whoever's in New England's through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know it's not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to come back to
When whoever's in New England's through with you

I hear the winter time up north can last forever
And I've been told it's beautiful to see this time of year
They say the snow can blind you 'til the world you left behind
Just disappears I hear

I've packed your bags and left them in the hallway
But before you leave again there's just one thing you outta know
When the icy wind blows through you remember that it's me
Who feels the cold most of all

But when whoever's in New England's through with you
Oh and Boston finds better things to do
Oh, you know it's not too late and you'll always have a place to come back to
When whoever's in New England's through with you

Well I'm married to the good life
I said I'd be a good wife
When I put on this ring
I drive a new Mercedes
I play tennis with the ladies
I buy all the finer things
But all that don't mean nothing
When you can't get a good night's loving

Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock

Well I wonder if he'll miss me
He doesn't even kiss me
When he comes home at night
He never calls me honey
But he sure loves his money
And I'm the one who pays the price
But when he finds this ring he'll see
He keeps everything but me

Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock

Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock

The kid down the street
Mows the grass every week
The neighbor next door
Fixed the roof where it leaked
The jobs goin fine
And the bills are all paid
And everyone thinks that I'm doin okay

There's a guy down at work
He's asked me out once or twice
I haven't said yes
But I'm thinkin I might
Then on my way home
I thought I saw you walk by
If only I could get you out of mind

What in the world
Am I gonna do about you
Your memory keeps comin back
From out of the blue
Oh well I've tried and I've tried
But I still can't believe
That we're through
So tell me what in the world
Am I gonna do about you?

Went to the store
But it wasn't much fun
It doesn't take long
When you're shoppin for one
And standin in line I thought
I saw you walk in
And that's when it started all over again

What in the world....

I would have waited forever
If I'd known that you be here
We could have shared our lives together
And held eachother close
All through the years
But I met someone before you
And my heart just couldn't wait
So no matter how much I adore you
I've got to stand behind
The promise that I made

Where were you
When I could have loved you
Where were you
When I gave my heart away
All my life
I've been dreamin of you
You came along
One promise too late

I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you
I can't have you but I never will forget you

Where were you...?
