Lyrics

[00:10.00] ……
[00:14.04] There was a pretty girl
[00:17.08] From some small suburb of Dallas
[00:20.87] And she came up to New York with a dream
[00:27.13] In the confusion and the noise
[00:30.51] All of her beauty and her poise
[00:34.15] Turned grey like snow beside the city street
[00:41.06] She met a boy named Steven
[00:44.04] They made love in his apartment
[00:47.96] In a second story walk up out in Queens
[00:54.47] And the things she hoped to find
[00:57.67] Beneath him on that August night
[01:01.50] Was the farthest thing from her
[01:04.23] As she dressed to leave
[01:07.91] So she hides her eyes
[01:13.41] Says a slow goodbye
[01:18.11] Swears by the morning light she'll be fine
[01:25.44] At a wedding in Connecticut
[01:29.17] The mother of the bride
[01:32.44] They dreams about her husband who just past
[01:39.11] As stands to give her toast
[01:41.93] She says the only thing i know
[01:45.67] Is when you find a love thats worth it
[01:49.06] Make it last
[01:53.05] So she chokes back the tears
[01:55.67] And speaks of all her daughters years
[01:59.12] Thirty christmas' of memories that she keeps
[02:05.99] And the speech was silent sweet
[02:09.26] She kisses guests as they all leave
[02:13.30] Then heads of to her hotel room to eat
[02:19.61] So she bides her time
[02:25.17] And says a slow goodbye
[02:29.81] Swears by the morning light she'll be fine
[02:37.37] Yeah she hides her eyes
[02:42.38] Though its hard some nights
[02:47.28] She'll take her own sweet time and she'll be fine
[03:21.80] A welder who spent twenty years
[03:25.33] Working in an auto plant
[03:28.30] Gets late off on a thursday afternoon
[03:34.85] And he grips the fourty-five
[03:38.09] Thats rests in the glove box when he drives
[03:41.91] Then puts the gun away and wonders what to do
[03:49.14] So he parks in his driveway
[03:52.12] And head against the steering wheel
[03:55.55] And tries to think what to tell his wife
[04:02.43] And in the kitchen he explains
[04:05.75] And swears they'll be okay
[04:08.89] She says you're the only i need in this life
[04:15.69] So he bides his time
[04:21.09] And says a slow goodbye
[04:25.84] Swears by the morning light he'll be fine
[04:32.84] Yeah she hides his eyes
[04:38.25] Though its hard some nights
[04:43.44] He'll take his own sweet time and he'll be fine
