Blue
Kari Smith | (c) 2006 / ASCAP
Can't make you happy
Lord knows I want to
It's not just a season
It's just how you do
Don't mean I don't try
Cause baby you're my
Favorite rain cloud
Why are you always blue?
Wish I could break through
CHORUS
So don't mind if I take shelter
In the warmth of my umbrella
Let you fall all around me
I miss the sun
But I love you so much
That the rain's good enough for me
Today the rain's just what I need
The clouds that plague you
Are plaguing me too
Wish that you weren't hiding my sun
I could live without you
But I don't want to
Now I'm wondering
How long can this go on?
You're not happy alone
CHORUS
I'll be your sun 'cause I love you much
That's good enough for me
Today the rain's just what I need
Rain fall on me

Happy Ain't A Man
Kari Smith | (c) 2006 / ASCAP
Haven't always been so lucky in love
You could say I've struck out a time or two
Then I'd move on to the next man in line just to find
He was wrong for me too
People telling me I don't need no one
Didn't think that I could be happy on my own
Took a long time, now a finally understand
Happy ain't a man
CHORUS
Happy ain't a man
It's precious time with family
It's a good cup of coffee
Long drives in the country
Now I finally understand
Happy ain't a man
Now I'm telling people I don't need no one
Now I know I can be happy on my own
Took a long time, now I finally understand
Happy ain't a man
CHORUS
Happy ain't a man
It's buying myself flowers
It's singing in the shower
Kind words from a stranger
Now I finally understand
Happy ain't a man
It's precious time with family
It's a good cup of coffee
Long drives in the country
Now I finally understand
Happy ain't a man

Whisper
He says that he loves me all the time
Tells me that I'm on his mind
I believe him most of the time
But I know he really means it
When he says it in a whisper
And I know he misses me when he's away
He calls me three or four times a day
Even when he has nothing to say
I know he means “I miss you”
When he says it in a whisper
CHORUS
Cause he sounds so real, so true, so sincere
Like his soul's talking
Straight from his heart
He makes me feel
He's on the same path I'm walking
Never be too far apart
When he says it in a whisper
VERSE
One of these days I'll dress in white
Take a vow for the rest of my life
When that preacher asks him
I hope he says “I Do”
In a whisper
One of these days I'll make him a dad
He'll lose some freedom he once had
But I hope at the end of the night
He tells that little babe “sleep tight”
In a whisper
CHORUS

Where Did You Go?
Kari Smith | (c) 2006 / ASCAP
Thought you were beside me
Though your whispers had faded
Your footsteps had slowed
Where did you go
Thought you were behind me
You had grown tired and I didn't know
Where did you go
CHORUS
Where did you go
Where did you go
Where did you go
I miss you so
Finally looked back
Only a shadow remains of your soul
Where did you go
I cried out for you
But the echoes they told me
There was no hope
Where did you go
CHORUS
You'd given me warning
For so long you begged me, but I was so cold
Where did you go
And doesn't it break me
To know that I gave up the best love I've known
Where did you go
CHORUS

Inside
Kari Smith | (c) 2006 / ASCAP
No names
Don't tell me if you went to church on Sunday
No games
I'm not telling how old I turned on my birthday
Don't say
Where you hang your hat from 8 to 5
That's not who you are inside
No way
Don't wanna know how much is in your pocket
Don't care
A piece of paper says you went to college
It's okay
Don't tell me where you lay your head at night
That's not who you are inside
What do you think it would feel like to fly
Can a song bring a tear to your eye
Where do you see beauty
What do you feel when you hold a baby?
Let's dance
Hold me close; feel my body
By chance
Does it make you sweat, or is it easy
One glance
Tells me what even words could deny
I see who you are inside

Her Truk
Kari Smith | (c) 2006 / ASCAP
They all stop and stare at every red light
They do a double take - that couldn't be right
Cause in the driver's seat of that big 'ol truck
With a tank top on and her hair pulled up
Is a little redhead with sunglasses on
Singing George Strait songs
At the top of her lungs
A big diesel engine just hummin' along with her
CHORUS
In that big 'ol truck, she's on top of the world
With a grin on her face like a little girl
Who drove Daddy's old tractor
For the very first time today
She's ridin' around on a tank of dreams
She's got no use for gasoline
And she'll tell you "A Cummins Diesel is the only way"
It's a big ol' truck
Now she's backin' in and they all wait
To hear the sound of something break
No she don't need no minivan
She drives just as good as any man
Don't ask if that's her boyfriend's truck
Cause her hands on her hips and her eyes fired up
And a license plate that says "HER TRUK" says no way
CHORUS

Give And Take
Kari Smith | (c) 2006 / ASCAP
Always chaos in your little piece of earth
Wherever that is - you don't know
Keep a watchful eye on everything around
As long as it's fine - all is well
Look at you now
Waiting for them to come to your rescue
The only one laughing now is the one who told you
CHORUS
It's all about give and take
So give me everything you got and I'll take it
You're making a big mistake
You got nothing but watch me make it
Seems by now that you would start to figure out
That there's no one who's got your back
Don't you know it's your responsibility
You come first, then help them out
Don't get me wrong
So glad that you're not jaded
But how many times
Do you have to hear them say it?
CHORUS

Be The One
Kari Smith | (c) 2006 / ASCAP
Don't misunderstand me
Everybody has a need for love
I'll be the first to acknowledge
Everybody wants to feel
That they're somebody's only one
No one wants to be alone
I try to be here for you
Share the laughter and the tears
Like I have for years
But the lines are getting hazy
About the shoulder you cry on
I just need to make this clear
I can't be the one
Even if she weren't waiting up for you at home
I know she hurt you, that she damaged your soul
Almost unforgiveable
There's two sides to every story
Who are you to think that you hold
The reins to her heart in your control?
All I know is I can't be the one
Even if she weren't waiting up for you at home
Let her be the one
Maybe she's still waiting up for you at home

Why Wait For The Night
Kari Smith | (c) 2006 / ASCAP
There's something about the moon in the window
Something said for candlelight
We could play hide and seek in the shadows
But why wait for the night
The April breeze breathes in the curtains
The noonday sun shines in your eyes
You don't have to be back for an hour
Don't wait for the night
CHORUS
I can't wait for your eyes to find mine
Your lips to taste mine
Please don't wait for your skin to touch mine
Your breath to breathe mine
Why wait for the night
Let the breeze cool our bodies
Feel the sun warm and bright
Maybe we should turn up the music
Can't wait for the night
CHORUS

The Moon
Kari Smith | (c) 2006 / ASCAP
If I had a dollar for every time I heard that
I'd be rich but still lonely as I am now
He can't understand it
Why do I keep hiding
He never knows if my heart's in or out
Cause sometimes it's so bright
It turns dark to light
Then sometimes he can't find it
He knows it's there but something's in the way
I can't expain it - even I don't get it
All I know you'll find out pretty soon
Nothing can explain it
Except maybe the moon
Been one of those seasons, time alone is precious
Especially when the world is all asleep
Some nights I go walking
Man in the moon is talking
Some nights I don't make it to the street
Cause sometimes it's so bright
It makes darkness light
And sometimes I can't find it
I know it's there but the clouds are in the way
That's the only way to tell you how I'm feeling
If you care then don't give up so soon
No one can explain it
Except maybe the moon
