Ricky Skaggs - Brand New Me Lyrics

(Carl Chambers)

You took my broken heart put the pieces back in place
Took my two empty arms and fill the space with your embrace
Then you dried away the tears and put a twinkle in their place
Then you gently hung a smile upon my face.

You polished up my songs made the reasons for my rhymes
Repainted every color in those faded dreams of mine
And you swept out all the ashes and you built a burnin' fire
To give me light and keep me warm at night.

You made a brand new me one like I never see
And when I look into the mirror I still can't believe
The way you finished me you made me so complete
From the mess I used to be you made a brand new me.

--- Instrumental ---

You found the love I lost somewhere deep inside my soul
In prison by the darkness left to die out in the cold
But with tender words of promise you relit the light of hope
Now I have the time for all the world to know.

You made a brand new me one like I never see
And when I look into the mirror I still can't believe
The way you finished me you made me so complete
From the mess I used to be you made a brand new me.

From the mess I used to be you made a brand new me...
