ten

This song is dedicated to all of the people I know who are sharing their lives with a special someone.

From the upcoming album “Sweet & Wild” of Jewel who is one of my most favorite artist of all time.

The lyrics to this song is just amazingly simple but it says so much.  Here’s to OUR happiness.

 

Ten – Jewel

 

whoever said love is easy

must have never been in love

sometimes its a landmine

one wrong step and it blows up

a word, a look lights a hidden fuse

 

its hard to see just what you have when you're seeing red

and easy to do something that you know we'll both regret

better stop, think, count to ten before i leave

 

refrain:

one,

i still want to hate you

two, three

i still wanna leave

four

i'm searching for that door

five

then i look in your eyes

six

take a deep breath

seven

take a step back

eight, nine

i don't know why we even started this fight.

by the time i get to ten

i'm right back in your arms again

words thrown so calously like weapons when we fight

but when they cut too deep i wanna leave it all behind

i'd have to count to ten before i cross that line

refrain

 

you can lose what you're not thankful for

i don't want that to happen to you and me

better count my blessings

 

one,

you still move me

two, three

send chills right through me

four

you keep me wanting more

five

when i look in your eyes

six

you're my best friend

seven

that will never end

eight, nine

i don't know why but thank God it happens everytime

by the time i get to ten, by the time i get to ten

i can see how blessed i've been

 

i'd choose you all over again.
