Her second album release, Hearts in Armor (1992) reflected Yearwood's own personal issues, which won her widespread critical acclaim among music critics and further success in country music. Her later album releases such as The Song Remembers When (1993), Thinkin' About You (1995) and Everybody Knows (1996) also demonstrated her creative control, featuring collaborations from Rodney Crowell, Willie Nelson and Garth Brooks.
Yearwood also found major success in country radio during much of the 1990s, including with the 1997 song "How Do I Live." Initially released on the soundtrack of the film, Con Air, the song was also issued on her "greatest hits" compilation entitled (Songbook) A Collection of Hits (1997) and would eventually win Best Female Country Vocal Performance from the Grammy Awards. In addition she would also win accolades from the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association Awards in 1997 and 1998. Aside from her success in country music, she has also donated her time as a philanthropist, working with Habitat for Humanity and the Make a Wish Foundation In addition she also set aside a project to release her first cookbook in April 2008 titled Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen, which consisted of southern cooking recipes from Yearwood, her mother and sister
1. BABY YOU DON'T LET GO
You got me walkin' a tightrope across a lover's sky.
An' now I'm feelin' the wind blow... I've never been so high.
Promise me the moon, I'm reachin' for the stars.
I need a hand to hold...
Baby, don't you let go now.
Baby, don't you let go now.
Baby, don't you let go.
Fin'lly found me a rainbow that I can hold on to.
A little taste of Heaven... pot of gold is you.
Sittin' up on cloud nine with an Angel's view.
But it's a long way down...
Baby, don't you let go now.
Baby, don't you let go now.
Baby, don't you let go.
Don't let go.
Baby, you make me feel safe enough to fly.
Hold me forever and ever... never say goodbye.
We're gonna plant our dreams, (Ah, ha, ha.)
In the sacred ground.
Gonna watch love grow when the rain comes down. (Down.)
Gonna say a prayer for the strength we need.
Put your hand to the plow,
Baby, don't you let go now.
Baby, don't you let go now.
Baby, don't you let go.
Don't let go.
[Instrumental break]
(Oooh, ooh, ooh.)
(Oooh, ooh, ooh.)
Baby don't you let go. (Baby don't you let go.)
Baby don't you let go. (Baby don't you let go now.)
Baby don't you let go. (Baby don't you let go.)
Baby don't you let go. (Baby don't you let go now.)
Baby don't you let go. (Baby don't you let go.)
Baby don't you let go now. (Baby don't you let go now.)
Baby don't you let go. (Baby don't you let go.)
Baby don't you let go.

2. DOWN ON MY KNEES
Sometimes you wonder how much I care
I get so distracted running nowhere
And I take for granted our love is secure
But if I started losing you, one thing is sure
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray, darlin'
Down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be begging you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees
I learned to be strong a long time ago
And I can face any wind no matter how hard it blows
But I'd have to be stronger than I want to be
If I had to live without you loving me
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray, darlin'
Down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be begging you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees
No one matters more in my life
Or makes me feel like you make me feel inside
And I've come far enough to know
Love's worth never letting go of
And love is not a matter of pride
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray, darlin'
Down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be begging you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees

3. I DON'T FALL IN LOVE SO EASILY
I don't fall in love so easy
I don't even know how it feels
I don't fall in love so easy
I don't even know if it's real
Too strong don't mean it's for long
Too deep don't mean it's for keeps
Fast doesn't last
I don't fall in love so easy
But I'm fallin' in love with you
I don't give my heart to just anyone
I don't even know how to do it
I don't give my hand to just any man
I don't wanna put myself through it
I don't want what I don't want
I can't feel what I don't feel
It's sad but it's true
I don't fall in love so easy
But I'm fallin' in love with you
I used to pray someday to change
But I found new ways to stay the same
Until you came
I don't fall in love so easy
I don't even know where to start
I don't fall in love so easy
I don't understand my own heart
It's so hard to drop my guard
I don't know how to just let go
But what else can I do
I don't fall in love so easy
But I'm fallin' in love with you
I'm fallin' in love with you
Yes, I'm fallin' in love with you

4. I STILL LOVE YOU MORE
Ask me how much you mean to me
And I wouldn't even know where to start
Ask if this love runs deep in me
And you won't find a deeper love in any heart
You could say you couldn't live one day without me
You could say all of your thoughts are about me
You could think no other love could be as strong
But you'd be wrong
You'd be wrong
If you say that you love me
More than anybody
Than anyone's ever been loved before
As much as you love me
Baby, I'll still love you
Baby, I'll still love you more
I'll still love you more
Ask me just what I'd do for you
And I'll tell you I would do anything
Ask if this heart beats true for you
And I'll show you a truer heart could never be
You could say there's not a star that you won't bring me
You could say there'll be no day that you won't need me
You could think no other love could last as long
But you'd be wrong
You'd be wrong
If you say that you love me
More than anybody
Than anyone's ever been loved before
As much as you love me
Baby, I'll still love you
Baby, I'll still love you more
I'll still love you more
And for every kiss
I'll kiss you back a hundred times
And for everything you do
I'll just do more
And for all the love you give
I'll give you so much back you'll see
Got so much love for you inside
If you say that you love me
More than anybody
Than anyone's ever been loved before
As much as you love me
Baby, I'll still love you
Baby, I'll still love you more
I'll still love you more
If you say that you love me
More than anybody
Than anyone's ever been loved before
No matter how much you love me
Baby, I'll still love you
Baby, I'll still love you more, yeah
I'll still love you more

5. IF I AIN'T GOT YOU
Well, I've got a steady job that pays enough
A pretty good car that don't break down much
I've got a two-tone hound dog wagging his tail
Ed McMahon promising a million in the mail
Ought to be enough to see me through
But it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you
I've got every eight track that Elvis ever made
Crank it up loud and dance the night away
I've got Chardonnay chillin' in the Frigidaire
A dozen ways of telling you how I care
Just out the window there's a lover's moon
But it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you
Baby, it's all in vain
If I ain't got you
Oh, it's like a honeymoon without champagne
A shiny set of rails without a train
Well, I've got a little dream about the rest of my life
Find a good man and be the perfect wife
Start a little family and watch it grow
Visit on Sundays after we get old
Make enough love to last a whole life through
But it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you
Baby, it's all in vain
If I ain't got you
Oh, it's like a honeymoon without champagne
A shiny set of wheels without a train
I've got a doublewide heart with room for two
But it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you
No it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you

6. LOVE ALONE
It's been a long road, but we got here
It wasn't easy, but it was true
We found out through all the bad times
It all comes down to me and you
We held the greatest expectations
Only to find it was not to be
All the dreams we left behind us
Only serve to set us free
[Chorus:]
We don't need no bag of silver
We don't need no fields of gold
Don't it make you high
Make you want to fly
Knowing we can live on love alone?
We made our break straight out of high school
You went your way and I went mine
Everything that we went looking for
Was here inside us all the time
[Repeat chorus]
[Bridge:]
We have shared every tear
Through the years
For all the laughter and the pain
One thing remains
[Repeat chorus]

7. MAY BE IT'S LOVE
Everybody's heart aches
Every time it opens
You don't know if you'll win or lose
You have to just let go
No I wasn't looking
It's funny how I found you
Just when I thought
I'd live my life alone
Maybe it's love
That I have longed for
Maybe it's love
I should be strong for
I'm tearing down the walls inside
I want to laugh, and cry and kiss
Maybe it's love
I miss
I've close my heart down
So many seasons
I didn't want to hurt again
I didn't want to try
So I turned myself to ice and stone
Said I don't need anyone
And nobody else
Would ever make me cry
Maybe it's love
I've run away from
Maybe it's love
Bringing me back home
I'm tearing down the walls inside
I want to laugh, and cry and kiss
Maybe it's love I miss
So put your arms around me now
Hold me tight
Show me how
No one has ever loved me more
I've waited for so long
Maybe it's love
Maybe I'm dreaming
Maybe it's love
I can believe in
I'm tearing down the walls inside
I want to laugh, and cry and kiss
Maybe it's love
Maybe it's love
Maybe it's love

8. ONE LOVE
So many times love went south
Down into the valley of the shadow of doubt
My faith was failing, my hope was gone
I wandered in the wilderness all alone
You came to me like a revelation
In your arms I found salvation
One love
Took me to the mountaintop
Showed me a world I'd never seen
One love took me down to the riverside
Opened my heart and washed me clean
Nothin' less than a miracle
Sent from Heaven above
One love
I'm amazed by the wonder of you
The clouds all open, and the light comes through
All my life I had never guessed
That anyone could ever be so blessed
I feel brand new, I've been revived
All I want to do is testify
One love
Took me to the mountaintop
Showed me a world I'd never seen
One love took me down to the riverside
Opened my heart and washed me clean
Nothin' less than a miracle
Sent from Heaven above
One love
One love
Took me to the mountaintop
Showed me a world I'd never seen
One love took me down to the riverside
Opened my heart and washed me clean
Nothin' less than a miracle
Sent from Heaven above
One love

9. POWERFUL THING
I've never seen two people in my life
More determined to ignore the obvious
We better stop thinking
Let our hearts start doing the talking
You'd have to be stone deaf dumb and blind
Not to see what's going on with us
So let's jump in
And get over our fear of fallin'
'Cause what we got here
Is a powerful thing
It's a powerful thing
More than three words
And a diamond ring
It can open up the heavens
Make the angels sing
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing
We started out strangers on a two-way street
Neither one of us lookin' to fall in love
But we don't need us a map
To know we're headed in that direction
Well, it's out of our hands
And over our heads
It's something that's bigger than both of us
Turnin' back now's completely out of the question
'Cause what we got here
Is a powerful thing
It's a powerful thing
More than three words
And a diamond ring
It can open up the heavens
Make the angels sing
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing
Stronger than the force of a driving wind
Hotter than a forest fire
There never has been and there never will be
Nothing like the power of you and me, yeah
It's a powerful thing
It's a powerful thing
More than three words
And a diamond ring
It can open up the heavens
Make the angels sing
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing
It's a powerful thing
It's a powerful thing
More than three words
And a diamond ring
It can open up the heavens
Make the angels sing
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing

10. SHE IS IN LOVE WITH THE BOY
[Songwriters: Ims, Jon;]
Katie's sittin' on the old front porch
Watchin' the chickens peck the ground
There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight
In this one-horse town
Over yonder comin' up the road
In a beat-up Chevy truck
Her boyfriend Tommy, he's layin' on the horn
Splashin' through the mud and the muck
Her daddy says he ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
But Katie's young and man, she just don't care
She'd follow Tommy anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday
Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row
They're too busy holdin' on to one another
To even care about the show
Later on outside the Tastee Freeze
Tommy slips something on her hand
He says my high school ring will have to do
'Til I can buy a wedding band
Her daddy says he ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
But Katie's young and man, she just don't care
She'd follow Tommy anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday
Her daddy's waitin' up 'til half past twelve
When they come sneakin' up the walk
He says, "Young lady get on up to your room
While me and Junior have a talk"
Mama breaks in, says, "Don't lose your temper
It wasn't very long ago
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plow boy
Who didn't have a row to hoe"
My daddy said, "You wasn't worth a lick
When it came to brains, you got the short end of the stick"
But he was wrong and honey you are too
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's gonna marry that boy someday
She's in love with the boy

11. SWEET LOVE
Summer breeze easin' back the curtains in my bedroom.
Ceilin' fan stirrin' up the heat of the afternoon.
I'm puttin' on my lipstick, my ruby red lipstick...
Nice an' thick, baby.
It ain't the gettin', it's the wishin';
It ain't the catchin', it's the fishin'.
Anticipation got me waitin' for your sweet love, baby.
Sweet love.
Cotton sheets out there on the line, swingin' to and fro.
Clawford tub drip, drip, drip, ah, honey, nice an' slow.
I'm puttin' on my new dress,
My pretty new blue, blue dress, oh yes!
It ain't the gettin', it's the wishin';
It ain't the catchin', it's the fishin'.
Anticipation got me waitin' for your sweet love, darlin'.
Sweet love.
Let's get your whispers, honey, tangled up with mine.
Hurry on over an' just take your sweet, sweet time.
Oooh.
[Instrumental break]
(Take your time, baby.)
It ain't the catchin', it's the reachin';
It ain't the Heaven, it's the preachin'.
Anticipation got me waitin'.
It ain't the gettin', it's the wishin';
It ain't the catchin', baby, it's the fishin'.
Anticipation got me waitin' for your sweet love, baby. (Sweet, sweet love.)
Sweet love.
Sweet love, darlin'.
Mmm, mmm, mm.
Summer breeze, straight through my cotton sheets.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, sweet.
Oh, you can leave your hat on baby.
Sweet, love. (Sweet, sweet love.)

12. THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU
[Songwriters: Hadley, John; Welch, Kevin; Wilson, Walter Henry;]
I like a man who's crazy about me
I like a man who can live without me too
That's what I like about you
I like a man who will lay down beside me
I like a man who will stand up to me too
That's what I like about you
Don't want a man to be my twin
Under my thumb, under my skin
Don't want a man like a shadow on the ground
With nothing else to do but follow me around
I like a man who will cry on my shoulder
Who don't mind if I cry sometimes too
That's what I like about you
I like a man who can make it happen
Who can get me laughing
when my whole world breaks in two
That's what I like about you
You can be soft, honey, you can be strong
Maybe that's the reason we get along
Everything you do, you do just right
You're tender in love, tough in a fight
I like a man who will lay down beside me
Stand up to me, cry on my shoulder
Crazy 'bout me, can't live without me too
That's what I like about, can't live my life without
That's what I like about you

13. THE NIGHTINGALE
Yesterday I thought that I walked alone
And that love was just a memory
But a nightingale followed me back home
And my love was waiting there for me
I had lost my faith as lovers often do
When the storm clouds gather overhead
But the nightingale sang a note so true
That I knew I'd lost my fear instead
And to think that I said love was for fools
And that time would never heal these old wounds
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
In the twilight he played a faithful tune
I have heard the lark over in the vale
And I've heard the lonesome whippoorwill
But the sweetest song is the nightingale's
And I know I'll never get my fill

14. THINKIN' ABOUT YOU
I'm not quite sure what's goin' on
But all day through and all night long
I've been thinkin' about you
I've been thinkin' about you
The look in your eyes when you smile that way
The sound of your voice sayin' my name
I've been thinkin' about you
Just keep thinkin' about you
This single minded fascination I've got
Do you call it love
If you don't then what
All I know is I don't know what you've done
And this train ain't about to jump the track that it's on
In the back of my mind there's a secret place
But the whole world knows by the smile on my face
I've been thinkin' about you
Can't stop thinkin' about you
I know it's crazy callin' you this late
When the only thing I wanted to say is
I've been thinkin' about you
Just keep thinkin' about you
I Can't stop thinkin' about you
Always thinkin' about you
