Pretty Girl From Matthews
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hold on a minute it ain't time to leave
Tell me how you're feeling one more time
Four long years and i just can't believe
That i'm still yours and you're still mine
While i was gone, yes, i fell in love
Asked around and heard that you did too
Two drunken years and push came to shove
I met love, love left me blue
You're rising like a sun
That pulled the curtain on the night
Coming through the window
To brighten up my life
And i'm all right, yeah, i think i'm fine
My savior lives in telephones
And i just dream of you and step outside
Dial up and hope that you're home
You're rising like a sun
That waits up all night
Coming through the window
To brighten up my life
Hold on a minute, yeah, i do love you
Sometimes i guess that ain't enough
When you come round you put me through
And i thank you, oh, so much
Another year, maybe, three or four
Maybe five or six or even more
You'll find another man to take my place
And i'll see you on the good lord's shores
You're rising like a sun
That pulled the curtain on the night
Coming through the window
To brighten up my life
