(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
