First cover of the year. I missed singing so much, and I've been in love with this song for such a long time now, I felt now's the time to finally make a cover of it.

I hope you like it. x

Persuassive Lips

Baby let's be happy even when
 We  don't Have a whole lot
We don't need more money,  babe,
when we've got what we've got
Like campin' out late, 
Summer Nights
Swimming in the lake, skippin' rocks
Baseball games, jumpin' off the dock
Runnin hand in hand in the rain

Lying on our hill, breeze in the air
Dogs to walk, tease and talk
All the fun and laughter we share

Showin mercy and grace 
Yet we could write a book
On mistakes we've made
But if love conquers all, than baby
I know it's not too late.

But there's a battle of pride between us
Clash of wills
A need for love
But we're just too stubborn still

CHORUS
Please dont hide us under a bushel, No!
Or trade our truth for lies
Set wild free in our hearts
Your love still castin visions over my eyes
Oh my love....
This is my prayer....
You will see my heart....and I know that I still care

I WANT something outside my own way
If we werent so stubborn, baby,
Would we still be ok?

Today is too short
Forever is a dream
I want the mountain tops
I want the ditches, baby
And all that's in between
So kets carve a niche
And rest there please
It would be a shame 
To throw away gifts 
More precious than we believe

CHORUS
Please dont hide us under a bushel, No!
Or trade our truth for lies
Set wild free in our hearts
Your love still castin visions over my eyes
Oh my love....
This is my prayer....
You will see my heart....and I know that I still care

Cuz its you I want
Its you I need
Its you I crave
You I breathe
Its you I hunger for
You I desire
You who will forever set my heart on fire

Persuassive Lips
