Susan Ashton - You Move Me

This song has also been recorded by Garth Brooks, but this one is my preferred version.

You Move Me
By Susan Ashton

This is how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive
And no guarantees
So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear
Like a rock in the ground

Oh, but you move me
You give me courage I didn’t know I had
You move me
I can’t go with you
And stay where I am
So you move me

Here is how love was to me
I could look and not see
Going through the emotions
Not knowin’ what they mean
And it scared me so much
That I just wouldn’t budge
I might have stayed there forever
If not for your touch

Oh, but you move me
Out of myself and into the fire
You move me
Now I’m burning with love
And with hope and desire
How you move me

You go whistling in the dark
Making light of it
Making light of it
And I follow with my heart
Laughing all the way

Oh, ’cause you move me
You get me dancing and
You make me sing
You move me
Now I’m taking delight
In every little thing
How you move me

    pee ess, reading the lyrics without the god context, it sounds like a perfect commercial for an antidepressant :)
