Terri Lynn Sauson (born August 5, 1968), known professionally as Terri Clark, is a Canadian country music artist who has had success in both Canada and the United States. Signed to Mercury Records in 1995, she released her self-titled debut that year. Both it and its two follow-ups, 1996's Just the Same and 1998's How I Feel, were certified platinum in both countries, and produced several Top Ten country hits.
Her fourth album, 2000's Fearless, though certified gold in Canada, was not as successful in the U.S., producing no Top 10 hits. Pain to Kill from 2003 restored her chart momentum in the U.S. with "I Just Wanna Be Mad" and "I Wanna Do It All", while a 2004 greatest hits album produced the Number One "Girls Lie Too". A non-album single, "The World Needs a Drink", and the 2005 album Life Goes On were her last releases for Mercury before she signed to BNA Records in 2007. There, she released the singles "Dirty Girl" and "In My Next Life". Although the latter went to Number One in Canada, she has not released an album for BNA.
Terri Clark is the first studio album by Canadian country music singer Terri Clark, and was released on August 8, 1995 on Mercury Nashville Records. It was certified platinum by the RIAA and 3× Platinum by the CRIA. The album produced four singles in both Canada and the U.S.: "Better Things to Do", "When Boy Meets Girl", "If I Were You", and "Suddenly Single". "If I Were You" was a #1 on the Canadian RPM country charts.
You sit in the shadows
You don't complain or criticize
And while the world may see me as a fool
They're not looking through your eyes
No questions asked, you're there when I need you
With a love that inspires me to be everything you deserve
Chorus:
Cause you're my unsung hero
And I know it's not easy to walk in your shoes
Day after day youcontinue to amaze me
Now I sing this song of love for you
While others long to steal the spotlight
You work your magic quietly
Cause you're not in it for the glory
The love you give comes naturally
I may not have much, but what I have I give to you
And this song that I sing is my gift
And I swear that I mean every word
Chorus
Chorus
Now I sing this song of love
