I’d Lie for You (And That’s the Truth)
Boy:
I’d never tell you one lie, I’d never let you down
I’d never leave, I’d be the one who’d always be around Girl:Baby give me a chance…
Boy:
I’d pull the sun down from the sky to light your darkest night
I wouldn’t let one drop of rain fall down into your life Girl:Put your heart in my hands…
Boy:
Baby, believe me I could never do you wrong
And I would never paint your world blue
And if sometimes it seems I must have lost my mind
I might be crazy—but I’m crazy ‘bout you
Both:
I’d lie for you and that’s the truth
Do anything you asked me to
I’d even sell my soul for you
I do it all for you—if you just believe in me
Boy:
Just take a look in my eyes, you’ll see a love that’s blind
Just take a hold of my hand and I’ll take you to paradise Girl:Ain’t a star that’s to far…
Boy:
Your every wish will be a wish that I will make come through
And if you want the moon, I swear: I’ll bring it down for you Girl:Let me into your heart…
Girl:
Believe me, baby, got your name carved on my soul
‘Cause you’re the only one that I’ll give it to Boy:
Go let ‘em say that I’m a fool to act this way
‘Cause if I’m crazy—I’m just crazy ‘bout you
Both:
I’d lie for you and that’s the truth
Do anything you asked me to
I’d even sell my soul for you
I do it all for you—if you just believe in me
I’d lie for you and that’s the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I’d walk across the fire for you
I’d walk on the wild for you—if you just believe in me
Girl:
And you’ll never see a day I’ll ever break your heart
You’ll see the sky fall down before it ever gets that far Boy:
I’ll show you heaven ev’ry second that you’re in my arms
Baby I’m crazy—but I’m crazy ‘bout you....
Both:
I’d lie for you and that’s the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I’d walk across the fire for you
I’d walk on the wild for you, if you just believe in me
Boy:I’d walk across the wild for you Girl:Move mountains if you want me to Boy:I’d walk across the fire for you Girl:Do anything you asked me to
Both:
I’d lie for you—and that’s the truth
Do anything you asked me to
I’d even sell my soul for you
I do it all for you—if you just believe in me
I’d lie for you and that’s the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I’d walk across the fire for you
I’d walk on the wild for you—if you just believe in me....
There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow
There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye
An’ it looks like it’s climbin’ clear up to the sky
Oh, what a beautiful mornin’
Oh, what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’rything’s goin’ my way
All the cattle are standin’ like statues
All the cattle are standin’ like statues
Oh, they don’t turn their heads as they see me ride by
But a little brown mav’rick is winkin’ her eye
Oh, what a beautiful mornin’
Oh, what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’rything’s goin’ my way
All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
And the breeze is so busy, it don’t miss a tree
And a ol’ weepin’ willer is laughin’ at me!
Oh, what a beautiful mornin’
Oh, what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’rything’s goin’ my way
Oh, what a beautiful day! …
