I threw away the pictures of those better days in Dallas. But I can't throw away these pictures in my mind. She's a page of precious memories I've tried hard to turn.
(r. murrah, r. leigh). . Of all the broken hearts I've had. This one hurts the worst. His love flowed like a river. Now I'm dying of thirst. If loving him too much is why.

I hear a rooster crowin'. It's a frosty mornin'. I can almost see the sign. Goin' so fast I can't stop. I'm just a stones-throw from Little Rock. Headin' for that Missouri line.
Oh Ellis Island was swarming. Like a scene from a costume hall. Decked out in the colors in Europe. And on fire with the hope of it all. . There stood my father's own father stood huddled.
Sun is up Time's at hand. There's a stir upon the land. And so begins another day. On life's highway. . On city streets Down country roads. Like a stream the people flow.
You said I'd live to regret it. I said, "I'll die before I do.". Now the pain is gonna kill me if I let it. Has it been a lifetime. Since I walked out on you?.
I came in here tonight. To do a little thinking. When I left home, I promised her twice. I ain't going drinking. . Then you walk in. And knock me down.
The sun is up, the time's at hand. There's a stir across the land. So begins another day. On life's highway. . On city streets, down country roads. Like a stream, the people flow.
I'll hold a place for you inside. Inside my heart for you and I. I won't forget these tears I cry. With every year that passes by. . And I can't sleep without you.
