(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
