Lyrics

When I look into your heart
I see us holding each other
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart
I’ve seen the moon dance on the waters
Watched the morning sun slip through the trees
Bu tthe sight of you is the vision
That takes me to my knees
When I look into your heart
I see us holding each other
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart
I’ve never known such comfort
I’ve never felt such release
I’ve never felt so connected
I’ve never known such peace
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart

THE CARTER FAMILY RECORDED AMERICA’S FIRST COUNTRY HIT IN A HAT FACTORY WAREHOUSE. MAYBELLE WAS 18 AND EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT. A.P. Carter had to hoe his brother’s corn patch for two days just to borrow the car. Then he loaded his wife Sara, two small kids, and Ezra’s 18-year-old pregnant wife Maybelle into a borrowed sedan and drove 26 miles of dirt road to Bristol, Tennessee. The car stalled in a swollen river. Sara and Maybelle hiked up their dresses, held the instruments above their heads, and pushed. Sara thought it was pointless. “Ain’t nobody going to pay us fifty dollars to sing a song.” She was wrong. Ralph Peer from Victor Records had set up on the second floor of an empty hat factory. August 1927. Sara nursed the baby between takes. On day two, A.P. stayed behind to fix a flat tire, so Sara and Maybelle recorded “Single Girl, Married Girl” without him. Maybelle played a guitar style she’d invented alone in a cabin on Clinch Mountain — melody on the bass strings, chords brushed above. Every guitar textbook in America now calls it the “Carter scratch.” She was 18 when she figured it out without a teacher or a book. Six songs. $50 each. That session launched country music. But within a few years, Sara fell in love with A.P.’s cousin — and what happened next on a live radio broadcast reaching all of North America is the part that splits people right down the middle. Sara kept singing beside a husband she’d already left so the music wouldn’t die. Maybelle kept playing through a pregnancy that would’ve kept most people home. Was the Carter Family built on love — or on stubbornness that just happened to sound beautiful?
