What I'm Listening To Right Now

This CD came out Tuesday, and of course I was right there at Walmart getting my copy. I don't know if it was on special because it was the release day, but it was marked $12, and I only paid $8. Not bad at all. Since then, I have been listening to it non stop, because as I have said before, I have this obsession where I have to know every word to every song so that I can sing a long. And let me tell you I am making progress, and there are actually a few that I can sing through already.

There is one song, If I Knew Then, that I absolutely love.

The lyrics:

The first time that I saw you, Looking like you did
We were young, we were restless, Just two clueless kids
If I knew then, what I know now, I'd fall in love

You're on a bus in Chicago, Three rows to the left
You know my heart was reaching for you, But we'd never even met
If I knew then, what I know now, I'd fall in love

Cause love only comes, Once in a while
It knocks on your door, And throws you a smile
It takes every breath, It leaves every scar
It speaks through your soul, And sings to your heart
And if I knew then, what I know now, I'd fall in love

On a summer night in August, in the backseat of my car
Said I'm trying to get to know you, I took it way too far
But if I knew then, what I know now, I'd fall in love

Oh, cause love only comes, Once in a while
It knocks on your door, and throws you a smile
It takes every breath, it leaves every scar
It speaks through your soul, and sings to your heart
And if I knew then, What I know now, I'd fall in love

Oh I've used up a lot of chances, I can't get them back
But if again it comes crawling, I'm gonna make it last

Cause love only comes, once in a while
It knocks on your door, and throws you a smile
It takes every breath, it leaves every scar
It speaks through your soul, and sings to your heart
And if I knew then, what I know now

If I knew then , what I know now

I'd fall in love

One of the things I hate is that this CD doesn't come with the lyrics, so this is my version of what they sing, and it could be totally wrong. But trust me when I say it is a beautiful song.

I just downloaded the I need you now single the other day. I don't usually like country but I do like these guys. I'm going to have to check out the rest of the album.
