Hailey Benedict – Carl Dean Lyrics:
A Monet’s still a masterpiece even if it stays unseen in a room collecting dust
Never known by anyone
And a midnight jasmine’s just as green
Just as strong and just as sweet
If it never meets the sun and that kind of feels like us
Trust me baby we’ll shine no matter where we land
We don’t need a spotlight to show us where we stand
We don’t have to show our cards, it’ll only make ‘em jealous
I don’t need to be Priscilla, you ain’t gotta be my Elvis
A diamond’s still a diamond if it’s hiding in the rough
Two hand in hand slow dancing shadows just us, is enough
Sometimes the greatest love is one you’ll never see
So I’ll be Dolly and you’ll be Carl Dean
We can keep ‘em guessing, kinda myth kinda legend
If you get to know my momma and you get my daddy’s blessing
That’s all I need
I’m not saying we have to be a secret, but a sacred thing’s worth keepin’, don’t you think?
We don’t have to show our cards, it’ll only make ‘em jealous
I don’t need to be Priscilla, you ain’t gotta be my Elvis
A diamond’s still a diamond if it’s hiding in the rough
Two hand in hand slow dancing shadows just us, is enough
Sometimes the greatest love is one you’ll never see
So I’ll be Dolly and you’ll be Carl Dean
We don’t have to be golden names on silver screen
Just couple of names carved into a dogwood tree
We can be nobody special in nowhere Tennessee
Sounds pretty good to me
We don’t have to show our cards, it’ll only make ‘em jealous
I don’t need to be Priscilla, you ain’t gotta be my Elvis
A diamond’s still a diamond if it’s hiding in the rough
Two hand in hand slow dancing shadows just us, is enough
Sometimes the greatest love is one you’ll never see
So I’ll be Dolly and you’ll be Carl Dean
