I Need a Honey to Love

-Upbeat Country Rock-
Key of D
 
-Intro-
1) When I see you in the morning with those eyes as bright at suns,  
I know my day's worth living, in the rising just begun.
2) And when you smile that special little smile telling me everything's alright...
Well,  just shake my head... as we play in bed... then I'll tuck you in, oh so  
tight.
-Short Reintro-
3) And, we talk about old times that gives me peace of mind and I'll thank  
you with a tip of my hat. Then see the laughter in your eyes that makes me
wanna cry, 'cause I love you and that a fact.
4) 'Cause before there was a You I was drowin' in my beers, maybe lookin'  
for a thang, or two. When a lady'd step on out and shout, "What's it all  
about?" I'd say, "Well, how do you do!"
       -Chorus-
-- I use to stay out all night until the morning light. Hard livin', women and  
beer. But that life has a way of cuttin' your stay, here where the livin' is dear. I  
use to look to the sky and ask God why He won't send me an angel from
above. Forever without tears my life would be so clear. Oh, I need a honey  
to love.--
-Short Reintro-
1) But, then one night I'm singing in a bar when a vision did captured my eye.  
Might've missed a word or two, 'cause my brain had got confused but I felt  
like a different guy.
2) Took a break right there as I had a sudden care to find this angel, who'd  
change my life. Now, I'm the kinda guy who's really not too shy but I
swear I saw the guiding light.  
-Short Reintro-
3) Well, she was standing by a chair and gave me quite the stare, so I mosied  
on over for a chat. And the closer I did get I could feel her affect from the  
beating heart in my chest.
4) She was acting WAY so cool, momma didn't raised no fool so I brushed  
right past her hair. Then she turned to me and said, "Hey, howdy." Right then  
I was almost there.  
-Intrumental 2 Verses-
-Chorus-
-2nd Chorus: We grabbed each others hand as the Jukebox played a band
with a slow, close dancing song. And we held each other tight, God I feel  
just so right, I've been waiting for so long. I knew she was 'THE ONE'
thank you Heaven up above for this woman, my saving dove. And we  
danced away the night until the mornin' light. Oh, I got my honey to
love.  
-Reintro-
1) Well the rest, as they say, is history and I'm glad that past is done. 'Cause
livin' was so empty and my life was undone in a house of the risin' sun.  
2) My baby's right here and our hearts endeared, I got my saving dove.
Forever without tears my life is now so clear...I got my honey to love!
-Instrumental for 2 Verses-
-Forever without tears my life is now so clear...I got my honey to love!
