lyrics

Forty Dollar Dress

There I was next to you
And you wanted it that way
You said don't leave me love
It was the hardest thing to stay
Cause my heart was the breakin' kind
You took my love like a thief
Then you put your arms around me
And whispered so sweet

You may not love me honey
But what a beautiful mess
How I ended up with you
And this forty dollar dress

It's alright, don't you cry
If I walk out that door
Cause I've been heart broken
By a pretty girl before
But I must have been dreamin'
When I looked in your eyes
The stars above they lined up
For me and you tonight

You may not love me honey
But what a beautiful mess
How I ended up with you
And this forty dollar dress

Rescue me, I'm a whole lot like you
It's alright, babe it's just me and you
It ain't like we got anywhere to go anyway

Jeff Stewart's approach is straight-forward: a man, his guitar, and a wide-eyed look at that crazy thing called love. His tightly crafted original songs paint the picture of a heart, once broken, suddenly surprised by the good fortune of discovering love anew. It’s music for anyone that has ever walked into the sunshine of a new future, however uncertain. ... more
