Susan Ashton You Move Me Lyrics
This is how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive
And no guarantee
So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear
Like a rock in the ground
Oh but you move me
You give me courage I didn’t
Know I had
You move me on
I can’t go with you
And stay where I am
So you move me on
Here is how love was to me
I could look and not see
Going through the emotions
Not knowin’ what they mean
And it scared me so much
That I just wouldn’t budge
I might have stayed there forever
If not for your touch
Oh but you move me
Out of myself and into the fire
You move me
Now I’m burning with love
And with hope and desire
How you move me
You go whistling in the dark
Making light of it
Making light of it
And I follow with my heart
Laughing all the way
Oh ’cause you move me
You get me dancing and you
Make me sing
You move me
Now I’m taking delight
In every little thing
How you move me

Whatever Happened to Singer Susan Ashton?
Editor’s Note: I’m a big fan of Ashton’s music. I have a couple of her albums and I cover a couple of her songs on guitar to play for church groups. It’s rumored she is in the studio recording again. Wiki info. here. She has a Facebook page here. By the way, check out WordsMatter2012.
CMT Susan Rae Hill was born in Irving, TX, on July 17, 1967. The adult contemporary vocalist’s first single — recorded using her mother’s maiden name of Ashton to avoid confusion with Kim Hill — gained an audience with CCM radio listeners around America in 1991, and made her album Wakened by the Wind the biggest-selling debut in the history of the Sparrow label.
Ashton reached number one in the Christian charts two more times that year, received a Dove Award for New Artist of the Year and won a CCM readers and reporters poll for Best New Artist.
Her second album, Angels of Mercy (1992), proved her staying potential: it spawned four CCM number one singles and was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Pop Gospel Album category. Ashton won the 1993 CCM readers award for Favorite Inspirational Album and a reporters poll for Best Female Artist. She narrowly missed capturing Dove awards for Female Vocalist of the Year, Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year and Contemporary Album of the Year.
Also in 1993, Susan married John David Cunningham and released her self-titled third album, with two singles charting number one. She was nominated for a 1994 Dove award in the category Female Vocalist of the Year. Ashton also branched out that year, recording Down the Road with Margaret Becker and Christine Dente.
That album was voted the Favorite Inspirational Album and Favorite Vocal Event in the 1995 readers’ polls, and was nominated for Dove awards in the Group of the Year and Recorded Music Packaging of the Year categories.
Ashton herself was nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year. Ashton’s collection of hits, So Far…The Best of Ashton Volume 1, appeared in 1995. The following year, Ashton signed with Chordant and released a Distant Call. Closer, her debut for Capitol followed in mid-1999. ~ John Bush, Rovi
