Amy Grant

I cannot take the heat
This girl's going home
Standing on my own two feet
Standing alone
Just a little weary of
All the talk and all the buzz
And all I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with us

I cannot take the heat
I guess I'm letting go
Tired of stitching up my dreams
With this thread of hope
I'm still a believer of
Twin hearts and timeless love
But all I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with us
All I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with us

Th road of life is rugged
An road you choose
And when I find the other side
I'll look for you

I cannot take the heat
And so I'll say goodbye
A million things I never said
Din't even try
Cuz words are cheap
And sometimes cruel
And stuff you hear
Is seldom true
And all I ever wanted was
Th feeling I had with you
Yeah, all I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with you

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
